To be honest, I don't feel 100% fit yet: Murali Vijay
Murali Vijay feels he is very much there mentally but physically he isn't 100% fit.
Published - Aug 11, 2017 11:22 am | Updated - Aug 11, 2017 11:22 am
1.2K Views
Indian opener Murali Vijay's bid to make a comeback just got delayed, as the TNPL encounter between Lyca Kovai Kings and Madurai Super Giant on Thursday was abandoned due to a wet outfield. Vijay was ruled out from the ongoing Test series against Sri Lanka, after complaints about pain in his right wrist.
Not 100% fit
The right-handed batsman is in no hurry and said that he will be informing the BCCI about his availability, once he gets back to full fitness. Vijay, who was set to lead Kovai Kings, said that the TNPL will provide him a good platform to get back to full fitness, as he feels that a lot of work needs to be done on his fitness, even though mentally he is up there.
"It's an absolute pleasure to get back into action," Vijay had said before the game was officially brought to close. Interestingly, In his honest assessment, he mentioned that he was still not fully fit and hopes to use the TNPL as a platform to build on his fitness. "To be honest, I don't feel 100% yet, but mentally I'm up there. Hopefully, I can start from the TNPL and build from there on. Once I am fully fit, I will be informing the BCCI," he added as per the quotes on cricbuzz.
Opportunity to start my second innings
On being asked whether T20 is an ideal platform compared to other formats for making a return from a lengthy lay-off, he explained: "For me, format doesn't matter. My injuries are not under my control. I just want to be fit and play cricket. As everyone has seen, my career has been one-dimensional so far. I obviously want to enhance it."
"It's just my mindset and my injuries, which I have to manage properly from now on. Any cricket is fantastic for me because I enjoy playing cricket and it's an excellent opportunity for me to start my second innings," concluded Vijay.

Apple Valley News
Apple Valley High School teacher completes FDA training
Apple Valley, Calif.– Tamara Alt, a teacher at Apple Valley High School, was one of 30 teachers nationwide chosen to complete a food science training program developed and implemented in a partnership between the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the National Science Teachers Association (NSTA), and Graduate School USA.
The one-week program for middle and high school science teachers, as well as family and consumer science and health education teachers, took place in Washington this summer.
Alt has already implemented this training into the classroom, and her students recently began a lab designed to answer the question "Where does bacteria grow?"
The training is part of the FDA/NSTA Professional Development Program in Food Science, a sustained effort to train U.S. teachers to use FDA's curriculum in their classrooms nationwide and train additional teachers in their area of the country. The goal of the program is to educate teachers and students about critical food safety issues such as foodborne illnesses by exploring the science behind them.
The program arms teachers with a unique topic and curriculum with which to teach science. In addition, participants learn about nutrition, food allergies, cosmetics safety, and color additives from FDA experts. The teachers also receive nutrition education material to help teach their students how to use the Nutrition Facts label to make better food choices.

It's almost election time! And no, we don't mean it's time for everyone to return to the polling station – it's time for those thinking of running for council in their Service Club – to begin thinking about their "platforms".
Does your Service Club ask it's Executive to pick a charity of choice (or two?) Does your President get to pick the organization where the proceeds from your Club's annual event, is donated too?
If YOU are thinking of running for a position in your service club and there is a charitable aspect to your role, here are some suggested steps:
- Ask members to submit what charities they would like the organization to partner with. You might find that more than a few will submit the same charity!
- Narrow down the charities to the top three or four
- Invite representatives from those charities to come do a presentation to your club about them and where donations go. They should be authentic and transparent about what they do with your raised funds
Once your club picks a charity, make sure both sides understand the partnership. Who does/supplies what, what does the reporting look like, etc.
Good luck as you wind down your 2011/12 year and start planning for 2012/13!

Ahmed Bawa has emerged as the key suspect
in the case
Five explosive devices were recovered from
his house: police
MANGALORE: The four persons arrested by the police on Friday for allegedly having links with the terrorist outfit Indian Mujahideen were remanded in judicial custody till October 17 by a sessions court here on Saturday.
The suspects — Mohammed Ali (56), his son Jawed Ali (20), Naushad (25) and Ahmed Bawa (33) — have been taken to Mumbai for further interrogation, said Superintendent of Police N. Sateesh Kumar. Ahmed Bawa, a petty businessman from Haleyangadi village near Mulki, from whose house the police claimed to have recovered five explosive devices, has emerged as the key suspect in the case, according to the police.
Mr. Kumar said that the explosive devices were nitrogen grenades. To cause extra damage, they had been fortified with metal pieces and nails that would turn into shrapnel when the bombs exploded, he said.
Meanwhile, Heenaz, the elder daughter of Mohammed Ali, said, "The moment the police barged into our house they began asking us about the whereabouts of Ahmed Bawa."
Claiming that her father was innocent she said that he was taken away by the police when he told them that he knew Ahmed Bawa. She said that her brother Jawed Ali was picked up when he told the police that he could take them to the house of Naushad, who in turn could lead them to Ahmed Bawa. Ms. Heenaz's version of the events leading to the arrest of Ahmed Bawa matches with that of the police's which was made public at a press conference on Friday.
Interestingly, most of the CDs in a black case that were displayed by the police along with the recovered items on Friday featured Zakir Naik, a medical doctor turned Islamic scholar. The CDs bore titles such as "Similarities between Hinduism and Islam", "Similarities between Islam and Christianity", "Universal Brotherhood", "Islam and Secularism" and "Religion in the right perspective".
Ms. Heenaz claimed that all those CDs had spiritual content and they had nothing to do with violent Jihad.
She also claimed that her father and brother were steeped in the study of scriptures of various religions. "They are secular people," she added.
Sirsi Correspondent reports:
A special squad of the police from Mumbai and Mangalore are searching for Riyaz Ismail Shabandri of Bhatkal, who is suspected to have links with the alleged terrorists arrested after the recent serial bomb blasts in various parts of the country. Riyaz is also suspected to have links with Naushad, who was arrested in Ullal on Friday.
Riyaz is said to be in Pakistan.
The police visited the house of Riyaz's father in-law at Azadnagar in Bhatkal and his house at Tenginagundi Cross near Bhatkal to collect more information.
A team of Corps of Detectives is also in Bhatkal.

NCAA Compliance and Infractions
As the NCAA rules and their enforcement continue to change, the responsibility of a university to educate and monitor its student-athletes, staff, campus and constituents grows. "Institutional control" is the goal of every university. The CSS team, with years of compliance expertise and on-campus experience, will evaluate, analyze and make recommendations to institutions and conferences relative to their compliance programs. Our in-depth reviews will ensure that effective processes and procedures, as well as the latest in best practices, are in place.
When a university faces a crisis or investigation, our team will assist throughout the process, from the conduct of the investigation to representation at hearings, working side by side with the University. In addition, we provide often-needed counsel relative to the external university presentation and image throughout the process.
NCAA Reclassification
Many institutions today are considering advancement to the NCAA, or to a higher division within the NCAA. Many others are contemplating moves to other conferences. Such changes require thorough analysis and informed decision-making. CSS assists in evaluating the potential revenues, costs, benefits and risks, and aids the institution in developing and implementing strategies and plans to ensure that the reclassification process is followed as prescribed and in a timely fashion.
Title IX and Gender Equity
Universities today must be even more vigilant with Title IX and gender equity, as it remains the law of the land. Our CSS team conducts Title IX/Equity reviews, with evaluation, analysis and recommendations, and assists with implementation of equity plans that adhere to the standards established by federal law, the NCAA, and the universities themselves.
Other Legal Services
CSS is led by attorney Jeff Schemmel, and its consultants include other attorneys with experience in college athletics. We provide counsel in many areas, including coach and administrator contracts, contract negotiations, employment, conference realignment, and others.

A TV cameraman focuses in on Russian tennis player Elizaveta Kulichkova as she powers toward a victory over Romania's Monica Niculescu on day three of the 2016 Australian Open tennis tournament.
Coming to the Australian Open here in Melbourne is something of a tradition for me. It's a major sporting event happening just a few minutes bikes ride from my front door, so I enjoy sitting among the fans who collectively cheer and gasp with each thrilling twist of the games.
I have almost no understanding of how the scoring works, and to be fair, I don't really care to know. For me it's not about the sport but the atmosphere of being in a large crowd getting swept along with the excitement. I caught a few other games including the dramatic match where Australian Nick Kyrgios beat Uruguayan Paolo Cuevas much to the delight of excited local fans.

One comment on "Tennis time"
I am amazed at the number of people who do t understand tennis. It's a pretty straightforward game.
Now cricket, or American football, now they're confusing games

Saturday before surgery
Not much going on the last several days. I had to work Wed, Thursday, Friday, so not much to report! Cainan had his clearance for surgery on Friday at the pediatrician's office. He is all clear. He was still 19 pounds - hasn't gained anything in the last two weeks since he had a shots visit. Sigh. The doctor wasn't concerned, though. He is 31 1/2 inches tall. We also got a call from the hospital that said that we had to be at the hospital at 6:15 Monday morning. No idea what the actual surgery time is, though. We never do. They usually go from youngest to oldest. Let's hope we are one of the first cases. Doctor Stelnicki does multiple surgeries a day, so we don't know where we fit in yet.
Friday we went to a little get together at one of friend's houses. It was a lot of fun. There were a lot of our friend's there with their kids so all the little ones got to play together and the adults had a little chance for some conversation! Not much, though, since we were constantly making sure all the kids were accounted for. But it was fun. We always enjoy our time with these families.
Today Mat took Arlington to see "The Bee Movie" She has wanted to see it, and has been looking forward to it all week. She really loved it, and Mat said it was a good movie. They went to lunch first, and then to the movie and I stayed here and cleaned and played with the babies. They went with one of Arlington's best little friends and her dad, and had a great time.
I will try to post from the hospital on Tuesday (I know there is internet access) to let you know how Cainan is doing. But if not, I will post as soon as we get home which will be anywhere from Tuesday night to Thursday.
A few cute things:
Finley - learned to say "ta-da!!" and throw her hands in the air. And when she does it, Cainan throws his hands in the air! She also said "feet" today as well. Her vocabulary is growing by the day
Cainan - babbling more. He also learned to stand up from where he is to get up! He was using furniture, etc. that he would have to crawl to, to pull to a stand before he could walk around, but a day or so ago, he just started standing up from his spot in the middle of the floor. Yeah!
Arlington - so funny. I wish I could bottle her 4 year old innocence and throw it on her when she becomes a mean teenager. :) Yesterday, we were riding in the car, and she was admiring the stars. She said, "mommy, the stars are following us". We talked about how it definitely looks that way, and she said, "no, really mommy. I know they are following us because I speak starish and that is what they told me." Apparently there is a star language!
Then, that gave me the opportunity to talk with her about how the Wise men followed the star that led them to Jesus (since I knew she knew the story), and she started asking questions about it and wanted to know if they walked there. We talked about it, and she said, "well, I guess they could walk, but that would be boring. You know, they could also leapfrog there". See, the Wisemen didn't know what they were missing!
Last, we have a gate at the top of our stairs to keep the babies from tumbling down when we play upstairs. The gate is not bolted to our wall, we can completely take it down and use it other places. Anyway, Arlington wanted to go downstairs to get a drink before bed. Mat said to her, "take the gate down and you can go". She said okay, and we didn't hear from her for a very long time. I asked what she was doing downstairs, and she said she would be right up. When she came up she said, "I did what daddy told me, I took the gate downstairs". Sure enough, she had carried the gate down all of our stairs! When asked why, she said, "well, daddy said to take the gate down". Oops! Poor baby.
Enjoy a few pictures from the last couple of days! Sorry today I didn't have time to edit them first! :)

Cainan is on our church prayer chain, tomorrow I will remind everyone of the upcoming surgery.
Isn't it something when the kids think of questions that are hard to answer, our little Sunday school kids have learned several songs that we sing in church, one is "I've got the love of Jesus, down in my heart" The other day Alexa asked me "what's does "the peace that passeth understanding" mean?" She's 5, I'm not sure she understood my explaination, but she said "OOOH". Love and prayers Nanny

Helloooooooo Pletcher family!!! It has been forever since I checked in on Cainan. He is looking great.I still had the old blog address so it took me awhile to track you guys down. I will check in later in the week to hear how his surgery went. I will send up some extra prayers!!

I'm praying for you guys this morning as Cainan is in surgery.
I went to a "welcome home" shower this weekend for another sweet cl/p baby from China. Her palate surgery was in late August and she is already so verbal now that her mouth is repaired. What an amazing thing to witness! I know you are looking forward to the changes that will come once Cainan heals.
Bless you all,

If you can't find what you're looking for - or wish to refine your search to include only references to the key search term - try putting inverted commas around the search term e.g. "Steve Lukather" or "Black Star Riders"
For example if you enter Black Star Riders the results will include all instances of "Black" "Star" and "Riders"

Three out of four startups fail. That is a statistic that should make every inspiring entrepreneur pause. Whether it is due to poor management, unfavorable macroeconomics, or simply bad luck, the reasons for failure span across a wide spectrum. However, rather than asking why startups fail, let's take a look at why some startups succeed. After all, don't we always wish there's a silver lining somewhere?
Though by no means extensive, here are three key takeaways from this past weekend's Cyberposium technology conference at Harvard Business School:
Bend the rules of the game. Just because someone says something, it doesn't mean it's written in stone. Even if it is written in stone, take a chisel and re-write it. Cash-strapped startups have to be able to "hustle," said Bill Clerico, CEO and Co-Founder of WePay. When Clerico and his co-founder were seeking to purchase the WePay domain from its previous owner, they were given the price equivalent to two-thirds of their seed capital. Deeply attached to the domain, the co-founders met their seller at a coffee shop, where they gave him the bad news -- half the price, take it or leave it. The seller left the coffee shop, but returned after a short phone call, and the deal was done.
Shift your mindset. Successful startups are able to take limited resources and apply their ingenuity to create real value (e.g., viz. product innovations or product awareness). This means not just thinking outside the box, but actually getting rid of the box altogether. By "being scrappy, being thoughtful and being creative," WePay managed to generate buzz and press attention for only three hundred dollars. WePay's established competitor, PayPal, had been receiving negative press regarding its freezing of user's accounts. In turn, Clerico and his team froze three hundred dollars inside a 600 pound block of ice and dropped it off in front of PayPal's annual development conference, with the words "PayPal Freezes Your Accounts" frozen inside. Within hours, WePay was on the front page of TechCrunch, its weekly traffic went up 300 percent, and signups boosted by 225 percent.
Fail fast and fail often. In the startup world, there's nothing better than to fail fast and to fail often through rapid prototyping. "Prototyping rapidly is important for learning," said Andrew Chang, Co-Founder of Lumoback. Rather than wait for the perfect product, Chang and his team tested out different forms of their wearable technologies -- from stickers to clips to belts -- before finally landing on a suitable form. The same process has often been cited as one of the key reasons for the success of design firm IDEO (designer of Apple's first mouse and the Palm V PDA). Not only does it help to eliminate bad ideas faster, rapid prototyping also ensures that everyone on the team is picturing the same thing. The key is to remember that prototypes don't have to be expensive or perfect; they just have to be roughly right (e.g., using play dough to show what the form factor for a new device would be).
The entrepreneurship fever isn't dying down. With an increasing number of startups competing for the same pool of resources, those that can adapt and flex will survive, while those that continue to rely on traditional models of thinking will likely fail. Which camp are you in?

If I could give zero stars I would
These pants were a massive disappointment. Pennington's usually has good quality clothes but these looked like they were ordered from a cheap site like Wish. I ordered a 2x which these days have fit a bit snug. These pants were hanging off of me, if I moved they fell off. They looked like a 5x. These pants had no shape, basically fabric with loose threads and a waist tie. If you do order these I recommend ordering three sizes down.

20 Aug 2018
It's hard to imagine now when shit has been going on for over a decade. But believe it or not, T-post® isn't the first clothing brand I've had, or the first time I'd printed stuff on the inside of a piece of clothing…
This was 2004 something and I had an ad agency together with another guy at the time. We had this idea that everyone working there would work only 75%. The other 25% would be dedicated to own creative work. The reason why was that working for clients under strict directions over a long period of time often stales the creative thinking. Anyway. During this time, everyone where allowed to do whatever they wanted, with no boundaries or demand of making money or anything like that. So anything goes basically. It was under the wings of these creative hours my first clothing brand endeavor began. The idea of the brand was simple:
"Nature invented evolution, she's the big ass mama of all trends. No media twat can ever argue with that. So to fully understand what's cool and what's not, return to the home of style and innovation. Getting out of the city is the new luxury. For more information, visit nature: It's So Fucking Fresh!"
The brand contained of practical clothing to be warn while in nature. They where longer on the backside to prevent you from freezing your ass off while picking berries and had a hole for your thumb to keep your hands warm. To be sure that our vision was clear to everyone wearing our clothes we printed our manifest on the inside of all garments. And for the collection highlighting great spots to visit while in nature we printed directions and a map on the inside.
As mentioned earlier, we had no intention of this project ever making money, or even being picked up by any stores. It was something we did for our selves to try to break new barriers of what a clothing brand could communicate. But somehow Sarah at Colette had heard about it and called us up for an order. Great you would think! Yes, fucking AWESOME, if you would have figured out how all this where supposed to be produced. We needed to go from this fun office project to a real fucken brand that is now being placed in the coolest store in the world. And all in the matter of two months. And anyone who's been involved in production knows that factories just laugh in your face if you approach them with anything less than a 1 000 pieces of anything to produce. And we needed to produce just enough for Sarah's order and for us at the office to have some. And that wasn't even the hard part. The hard part was to make sure that someone in the Lithuanian factory (which was the only factory that was willing to handle our order after we assured them that this was only clothes for the showroom and that the "real order" was going to be placed after the sales round was over) was going to produce the clothes exactly as we wanted them to be, without being able to oversee anything.
I love figuring shit out and facing seemingly impossible problems… But this was a bit much, even for me. In the end we manage to get everything produced (in time I might ad) but that fucken blue shirt slipped through the cracks and managed to get the print printed on the left instead of the right hand side of the stomach. Well. At the end of the day, nobody noticed the flaw (even though it looks fucken wack). We ended up doing three collections of It's So Fucking Fresh! before it got replaced by a strange idea of trying to combine a magazine with a T-shirt..?

Smith & Hopen provides the highest level of patent services including patentability searches, clearance searches, patent prosecution, administrative and court-litigation and patent appeals to the Federal Circuit.
Consider the statistics. Business leaders such as Motorola, IBM, Harris Corporation, and United Technologies Corporation are awarded hundreds of patents each year for innovations created by their Florida-based employees or inventors. Regardless of size, successful companies understand the value of United States patent protection. Developing a patent portfolio offers a number of strategic business advantages including a 20-year legal monopoly.
Competitive Advantage
Companies with a strong patent portfolio establish effective, lawful barriers to competition. Many companies fail to realize the true value of their innovations until those same innovations are adopted by the competition. Securing a patent will provide you with legal recourse to enjoin and recover damages from competitors who manufacture, use, sell or import your company's innovations.
Enhance Revenues
Patent rights are a valuable business asset. Licensing agreements with third parties, or even competitors may result in significant royalties paid to your company for the use of its technology. Licenses may be granted specifically for certain periods of time or for only certain geographical locations. Patent rights may be sold outright or even donated to an educational institution, such as a local university, for tax purposes. A patent portfolio may increase the overall value of a company seeking to be sold or merged into another company.
Marketing Value
The "patent pending" or granted patent designation is an effective marketing tool. How do customers choose your product or services over your competition? How do you communicate to your customers that your products or services are superior to your competitor's? Your patent portfolio inspires confidence in your customer's purchasing decision. Your company becomes a nationally recognized contributor to the advancement of your field. The grant of a patent is often newsworthy and may be utilized to bring positive public attention to your company.
Background Information
The Constitution of the United States gives Congress the power to enact laws relating to patents, in Article I, section 8, which reads "Congress shall have power . . . to promote the progress of science and useful arts, by securing for limited times to authors and inventors the exclusive right to their respective writings and discoveries." Under this power Congress has from time to time enacted various laws relating to patents. The first patent law was enacted in 1790. The law now in effect is a general revision which was enacted July 19, 1952, and which came into effect January 1, 1953. It is codified in Title 35, United States Code.
The patent law specifies the subject matter for which a patent may be obtained and the conditions for patentability. The law establishes the Patent and Trademark Office to administer the law relating to the granting of patents, and contains various other provisions relating to patents.
A patent for an invention is a grant of a property right by the Government to the inventor (or his or her heirs or assigns), acting through the Patent and Trademark Office. The term of the patent shall be 20 years from the date on which the application for the patent was filed in the United States or, if the application contains a specific reference to an earlier filed application under 35 U.S.C. 120, 121 or 365(c), from the date the earliest such application was filed, subject to the payment of maintenance fees. The right conferred by the patent grant extends only throughout the United States and its territories and possessions. However, during this term, a patent gives an exclusive monopoly to the patent owner to practice the claimed invention. A patent typically takes anywhere from 6 months (for accelerated applications) to 2-3 years from filling to allowance.
The right conferred by the patent grant is, in the language of the statute and of the grant itself, "the right to exclude others from making, using, offering for sale, or selling" the invention in the United States or "importing" the invention into the United States. What is granted is not the right to make, use, offer for sale, sell or import, but the right to exclude others from making, using, offering for sale, selling or importing the invention.
The patent law specifies the general field of subject matter that can be patented and the conditions under which a patent may be obtained. In the language of the statute, any person who "invents or discovers any new and useful process, machine, manufacture, or composition of matter, or any new and useful improvement thereof, may obtain a patent," subject to the conditions and requirements of the law. The word "process" is defined by law as a process, act or method, and primarily includes industrial or technical processes. The term "machine" used in the statute needs no explanation. The term "manufacture" refers to articles which are made, and includes all manufactured articles. The term "composition of matter" relates to chemical compositions and may include mixtures of ingredients as well as new chemical compounds. These classes of subject matter taken together include practically everything which is made by man and the processes for making the products.
The Atomic Energy Act of 1954 excludes the patenting of inventions useful solely in the utilization of special nuclear material or atomic energy for atomic weapons.
The patent law specifies that the subject matter must be "useful." The term "useful" in this connection refers to the condition that the subject matter has a useful purpose and also includes operativeness, that is, a machine which will not operate to perform the intended purpose would not be called useful, and therefore would not be granted a patent.
Interpretations of the statute by the courts have defined the limits of the field of subject matter which can be patented, thus it has been held that the laws of nature, physical phenomena and abstract ideas are not patentable subject matter.
A patent cannot be obtained upon a mere idea or suggestion. The patent is granted upon the new machine, manufacture, etc., as has been said, and not upon the idea or suggestion of the new machine. A complete description of the actual machine or other subject matter for which a patent is sought is required.
The United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) has allowed your patent application and it is about to become an issued United States patent. Congratulations on your accomplishment! You are about to become a United States patent holder–a distinction reserved only for true visionaries and innovators. Prior to the issuance of your patent, you have an opportunity to continue building your patent portfolio and expanding your patent rights by filing a continuation patent application. Interested in finding out more about the advantages of filing a continuation patent application? Read on.
A patent is a barrier to competition. Well-informed patent attorneys seek to anticipate how competitors will attempt to design around the patent claims. While broad claims are sought, they must also be drawn with precision to avoid invalidity in view of prior art. Sometimes, neither inventor nor patent attorney can anticipate how a technology may evolve. After a patent is granted, a patent holder has very limited avenues for changing the scope of patent coverage. The two most commonly-used methods for accomplishing this objective are as follows:
- Reexamination: Either the patent owner or a third party challenger may cite new (or unapplied) prior art arguments against an issued patent. This procedure is frequently initiated in response to litigation seeking to cancel patent claims.
- Reissue: A patent reissue is often filed when prior art was inadvertently withheld during patent prosecution or the patent claimed too much (or too little). A patent's scope can only be broadened within 24 months after it issues. After that, reissue amendments can only maintain or narrow the scope of coverage.
Both reexamination and reissue proceedings can be expensive and create new liabilities in the protection of an invention. However, there is another cost-effective method: filing a continuation application prior to the issuance of the "parent" application.
A continuation patent application must have the same specification and drawings as the parent application, but the continuation application can have a different claim scope. Therefore, a continuation application provides an opportunity to broaden or modify patent coverage for your invention. Because the continuation (the "child" application") claims priority to a co-pending "parent" application, their patent terms are "coterminous." Accordingly, continuation applications do not "extend" the patent term. However, by keeping at least one "child" application alive, the patent holder may update, modify, and even include additional subject matter in a later filed "continuation in part" (CIP) application.
In some cases, your patent attorney may recommend filing your continuation application with a request for deferred examination. You can find more details about deferred examination here.

In Middle East Warfare the Best Defense is a Good Offense!
December 28, 2006
I could not agree more with the statement of Colonel Moshe Hagard in paragraphs four and five of the Arutz Sheva article which follows:
[Begin Quote] Col. (ret.) Moshe Hager, a deputy division head during Operation Defensive Shield in 2002, told Arutz-7, "The current policy is immoral – not because of any given Kassam attack, but because every minute, Gaza is becoming more and more like Lebanon, as the terrorists increase their military capabilities.
The Negev will soon be lost to us, at this rate."
Hager's recommendation is to "conquer all of Gaza, kill all the terrorists, install mayors whom we support, and realize that the Palestinian Authority has not fulfilled its Oslo commitments and that the Oslo Accords no longer exist… At the very least, the northern Gaza areas must be conquered in order to shorten the range of Kassam rockets.
In addition, the Philadelphi corridor in southern Gaza must also be conquered; it will be hard, but it's absolutely imperative, in order to crumble the terrorist infrastructures, just like during Operation Defensive Shield." [End Quote]
For those of you who might think this is not the best solution, please let me tell you that for almost 40 years I have steadfastly declared there is no solution to the Middle East problem, other that the Second Advent of their Messiah. Only God can bring a true peace to the Middle East. And I would remind you that, when dealing with Armageddon, God does tend to lean toward the concept of a Good Offense being the best Defense. His offensive weapons are his own creations that man cannot control.
He is Israel' s defen
se, and he will use his weapons, the heavens and the earth, as the greatest offense against her enemies that the world has ever seen.
Isaiah 29:6 – Thou shalt be visited of the Lord of hosts with thunder, and with earthquake, and great noise, with storm and tempest, and the flame of devouring fire.
Zechariah 14:1-5 – Behold, the day of the Lord cometh, and thy spoil shall be divided in the midst of thee. [2] For I will gather all nations against Jerusalem to battle; and the city shall be taken, and the houses rifled, and the women ravished; and half of the city shall go forth into captivity, and the residue of the people shall not be cut off from the city. [3] Then shall the Lord go forth, and fight against those nations, as when he fought in the day of battle. [4] And his feet shall stand in that day upon the mount of Olives, which is before Jerusalem on the east, and the mount of Olives shall cleave in the midst thereof toward the east and toward the west, and there shall be a very great valley; and half of the mountain shall remove toward the north, and half of it toward the south.
[5] And ye shall flee to the valley of the mountains; for the valley of the mountains shall reach unto Azal: yea, ye shall flee, like as ye fled from before the earthquake in the days of Uzziah king of Judah: and the Lord my God shall come, and all the saints with thee.
Revelation 16:16-21 – And he gathered them together into a place called in the Hebrew tongue Armageddon. [17] And the seventh angel poured out his vial into the air; and there came a great voice out of the temple of heaven, from the throne, saying, It is done.
[18] And there were voices, and thunders, and lightnings; and there was a great earthquake, such as was not since men were upon the earth, so mighty an earthquake, and so great. [19] And the great city was divided into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell: and great Babylon came in remembrance before God, to give unto her the cup of the wine of the fierceness of his wrath. [20] And every island fled away, and the mountains were not found. [21] And there fell upon men a great hail out of heaven, every stone about the weight of a talent: and men blasphemed God because of the plague of the hail; for the plague thereof was exceeding great.
Luke 21:25-27 – And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring; [26] Men's hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken.
[27] And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory.
For an exposition of "this man" in Micah 5:5 & verses 6 through 9, take a look in our Prophecy Update Archives at whole numbered Update Numbers 66 through 69)
Micah 5:5-9 – And this man shall be the peace, when the Assyrian shall come into our land: and when he shall tread in our palaces, then shall we raise against him seven shepherds, and eight principal men. [6] And they shall waste the land of Assyria with the sword, and the land of Nimrod in the entrances thereof: thus shall he deliver us from the Assyrian, when he cometh into our land, and when he treadeth within our borders.
[7] And the remnant of Jacob shall be in the midst of many people as a dew from the Lord, as the showers upon the grass, that tarrieth not for man, nor waiteth for the sons of men. [8] And the remnant of Jacob shall be among the Gentiles in the midst of many people as a lion among the beasts of the forest, as a young lion among the flocks of sheep: who, if he go through, both treadeth down, and teareth in pieces, and none can deliver. [9] Thine hand shall be lifted up upon thine adversaries, and all thine enemies shall
be cut off.

Army Begs: Let Us Fire Back!
Wednesday, December 27, 2006 / 6 Tevet 5767
Arutz Sheva – IsraelNationalNews.com
The government's restraint in the face of the rocket attacks is "immoral," "ineffective," and must end.
So say various IDF officers, as Olmert convenes an emergency security meeting this morning.
Defense Minister Amir Peretz said it last night, following the serious wounding of two boys in Sderot by a Kassam rocket, and increasing numbers of army officers are now saying it publicly as well: The policy of restraint must end.
Peretz told Olmert last night that Israel can no longer afford to restrain its fire. IDF forces are currently not permitted even to fire at a Kassam rocket launching cell, unless the soldiers' lives are directly and immediately endangered.
Col. (ret.) Moshe Hager, a deputy division head during Operation Defensive Shield in 2002, told Arutz-7, "The current policy is immoral – not because of any given Kassam attack, but because every minute, Gaza is becoming more and more like Lebanon, as the terrorists increase their military capabilities. The Negev will soon be lost to us, at this rate."
Hager's recommendation is to "conquer all of Gaza, kill all the terrorists, install mayors whom we support, and realize that the Palestinian Authority has not fulfilled its Oslo commitments and that the Oslo Accords no longer exist… At the very least, the northern Gaza areas must be conquered in order to shorten the range of Kassam rockets. In addition, the Philadelphi corridor in southern Gaza must also be conquered; it will be hard, but it's absolutely imperative, in order to crumble the terrorist infrastructures, just like during Operation Defensive Shield."
An unnamed government source, quoted on Voice of Israel Radio, said that the security establishment would recommend putting an end to restraint and taking military action against the rocket launchers.
"The IDF's inaction gives immunity to the rocket launching cells," an unnamed army official told Ynet. "In the past, a terrorist who went out on a rocket launching mission thought seven times whether it was worth it and what were the chances that he would be hit. Now, he doesn't have to think even twice."
Maj.-Gen. (ret.) Yom Tov Samiyeh, a former IDF Southern Region Commander, told Army Radio today that if we don't want to end up having to re-conquer all of Gaza – "and I don't want to; who needs it?" – then we had better implement smaller-scale military measures to uproot the terrorist infrastructure
It is assumed that Prime Minister Olmert is still trying to fulfill his promises to Palestinian Authority chairman Abu Mazen at their Saturday night meeting. Olmert promises to remove many security checkpoints throughout Judea and Samaria – though the army is reviewing the issue and this will not happen until next week at the earliest. Olmert also promised to free up $100 million in tax monies that Israel had been withholding.
The wounding of the two boys last night was the climax of a day of Kassam rockets against Israel. No fewer than eight rockets were fired, the most in one day since
the ceasefire took effect just over a month ago. Damage was caused, and one rocket landed dangerously close to a sensitive infrastructure in southern Ashkelon.
Noticeably differing in his approach is Yuval Diskin, the head of the General Security Service (Shabak). Diskin has recommended that Israel act diplomatically, not militarily. Just two days ago, Israel submitted a detailed complaint to the UN against the PA and its continued ceasefire violations.
Meanwhile, Shimon Peres continues to reach out to Israel's deadliest enemies. In a speech in Spain last night, the Vice Prime Minister said he believes Hamas is an "important factor" in the Middle East peace process, and that the organization should play a role in it. Israel's official position is to conduct no negotiations with Hamas as long as it continues not to recognize Israel's right to exist and calls for its destruction.

Medical payments (MedPay) coverage will pay for you and your passengers' medical expenses in the event of an accident. MedPay will cover expenses from accidents whether you are driving your car, someone else's car (with their permission), or if you or a family member incurred injuries as a pedestrian. The coverage will pay regardless of who is at fault; however, your insurer may seek to recoup the expenses if someone else is liable.
With a good health insurance plan, there may be little need to buy more than the minimum required MedPay coverage. However, MedPay coverage only adds a nominal fee to your policy dependant on the amount of coverage needed. In the event of an accident, this coverage could be of great value to you and your family and should be considered when purchasing a policy.
To protect your credit, Attorney Michael Dobronos recommends you "buy at least $5,000 and probably $25,000 of medical payment (MedPay) coverage." He further goes on to state that "this is one of the best values of insurance. I have great health insurance and I still have $100,000 of MedPay coverage due to the high cost of medical bills."
Uninsured/Underinsured motorists coverage
Uninsured motorists (UM) bodily injury coverage pays for your injuries if you are involved in an accident with a driver who is legally liable and does not have auto insurance. Many states require drivers to hold this coverage.
Underinsured motorists (UIM) bodily injury coverage will pay for your injuries if you are involved in an accident with a driver who is legally liable and causes more damage than his or her liability coverage can cover.
Uninsured motorist property damage (UMPD) coverage, available to you for any vehicle on your policy that does not have collision coverage, pays for damage to your vehicle caused by a driver who is legally liable and doesn't have auto insurance.
"Motor vehicle accidents (MVAs) are the number one most common cause of death of people under 45 years of age. You should protect your family and yourself by making sure that you purchase uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage," states Attorney Michael Dobronos. "My best legal advice is to buy as much uninsured/underinsured coverage that you can afford. I recommend at least $100,000 coverage. I personally have $2,000,000 coverage. You would be surprised that such a high limit is not as expensive as you may think.
Without this coverage, you are taking a big chance that a serious MVA could bankrupt you. For example, if you are involved in a MVA that is not your fault with a UM/UIM motorist, you will not collect what you are entitled to, such as medical bills, lost wages, permanent disability, and/or pain and suffering. Given these economic times, it is extremely important coverage to have, because many people drive without insurance," adds Dobronos.

I'm in Wonderland
Red Bull gives you wings!
Good news: dirt cheap. fan favorite or man you love to hate (either of which tends to pique interest, and RBNY need somebody somewhere - even middleaged fanmoms - to show some interest). has not punched a heckler in a coon's age.
Bad news: since his 2005 return to MLS has tallied twice as many cards as goals (but hey, he's not punching hecklers!).
Things that make you go hmmm: 30 years old and not a big fitness freak. Prefers coke to gatorade. He did score the Goal of the Decade, but that was 2001. Nice rocket in the playoffs last year. Incited a riot after.
One more week until the madness begins.
Here's that goal of the decade, just to keep us hopeful.

Remember the Alamo!
USA 0, Guatemala 0 in Frisco, Texas. The grass was pretty. The game wasn't.
The Guatemalan strategy was Defense Defense Defense: nine dudes bunkered sending the occasional ball up to Carlos Ruiz, who showed us just why they call him El Pescadito, flopping like a carp on grass at every possible opportunity. He's up for an Oscar, I've heard. The US of A had about 99% of possession, a figure I invented because ESPNsoccernet is currently showing stats from some other USA/Guatemala game. Miraculously, Bobby Convey was available for substitution in spite of that season-ending knee problem! Jay DeMerit, Michael Bradley, Benny Feilhaber and Frank Simek are all apparently in the Witness Protection Program, because they aren't even listed as substitutes. I expect better, ESPN. *
Some random observations: Clint Dempsey (a/k/a the Mostest from Nacogdoches) had several shining moments and got a full 90 for the first time since October 2006. Donovan had to be the most frustrated newlywed in Frisco. In Texas. Hell, in the northern hemisphere. We were missing Bocanegra's head, but nice to meet you Frank Simek (25) and Jay DeMerit (23) - is it just me, or do those two look an awful lot alike? I like the white shorts, so, ipso facto, the jerseys are elevated to OK. Kasey Keller reminds me of Dana Carvey in The Master of Disguise I won't swear to it, but I'm almost positive I saw Bob Bradley's facial expression change. Bruce Arena, I missed your analysis but I'm glad you were *there* for The Team of Destiny (a/k/a New York Red Bulls). Too bad we lost.
So, has Guatemala got our number ahead of the Gold Cup? I'm counting on Bob to furrow that brow and come up with a solution. June 2 in the City of Angels.
*and goshdarnit, they fixed it. but it was there! I swear!

On a Sunny Afternoon
Excellent game for Landon Donovan. You can't argue with a hat trick. Mostest from Nacogdoches had a few moments, but I was hoping for more from him. Our defense shook like a bowl full of jello and, at times, moved about that fast. Still, Ecuador's lone goal was more luck than skill. They are very very fast, but they looked clumsy (which was a blessing, with Gooch, Jimmy and Timmy doing a mighty fine Keystone Kops routine). Feilhaber looks good. And he can play, too. Did he get the "per ardua ad astra" from Jimmy Conrad or do our national team players routinely look pensive and spout Latin? Cool tattoo regardless. Other random thoughts: Cherundolo is small, but feisty; no one rocks a nose plug like Brian Ching; nepotism ain't all bad but football fields *are*; the new jerseys are ugly as hell; I like the Bruce Arena/Eric Wynalda dichotomy, but doesn't one of them (BRUCE) have a team (NYRB) to coach?
Next up: Guatemala, 9 PM Wednesday, good ol' ESPN2.

Countdown to First Kick: T minus 17 days
1. The Riches, Eddie Izzard's series for F/X. Gypsies are the hot new alternative social group as a recent House episode and this show attest. Only to be technically correct, these are Travellers, not Gypsies. Assumed identities, drug problems, and cross dressing (not Eddie!) ensue as the family that scams together stays together. Yes, it's an F/X series. Minnie Driver gets a B+ for a mostly cringe-free southern accent.
2. The whole Shopaholic series. Yes, it is Chick Lit. The shame! the shame! I'm reading Cheever, too, just to balance the karma.
in which a random fan (in profile) invades the Galaxy bench during a Gals/Crew exhibition and asks Landon to scooch. I don't know who you are, dude, but massive big ups.
5. Kicking ass and taking names on Austin's Challenge English Premier League fantasy footy. Sure, I'm #3 of 6, but these guys are good. Personal best: 79 points. The EPL needs to get with the program. I'd love to be drinking beer and yelling at my TV at 11 on a Saturday morning, but somebody has to go to the grocery store. MLS is much more fan-friendly in that regard. Tivo. I wish I had it.
6. Producing pithy yet pointless posts to ponder in perpetuity. Alliteration R us.

CONCACAF Semis, Leg One
I did not get to watch Houston Dynamo and Pachuca because I was standing in the rain watching my own little austinator and his team whup up on our county rivals 3-0. But way out west, the sun shone and the soccer gods smiled on Houston. 2-0 thanks to Mssrs. Ching and Wondolowski.
Here's some idle suggestions before the Mexico road trip next month:
1. Train in Denver. I'm sure the Rapids wouldn't mind swapping places for a couple of weeks. And take Lance Armstrong with you. He knows a few things about lung capacity.
2. Take a quick Berlitz course in Español. At least memorize a few helpful phrases like 'your mama's so nasty, she has to creep up on bathwater' or 'take me to the nearest hospital, please.' Depending.
3. Preparation is everything. Not just life insurance, living wills and powers of attorney. A man with a plan is a man who can. And as my mother used to say, cain't never could do nuthin'. Or was it, the sun don't shine on the same dog's butt all the time?
Go, teams! The hope of the nation goes with you.
What a Girl Wants
Here's hoping they do an Orbit-inspired commercial
thanks, Monica. You are a very bad influence on me. Please keep it up.

It's Not Just a Job...
I've been working for this same company for going on 21 years. That's like eons. I had a temper tantrum at my old job doing room service/waiting tables and walked out. Determined to get a desk clerking job (which looked really glamorous from the breakfast shift of a hotel dining room), I hit the mean streets of Gatlinburg. Nobody would hire an ex-waitress to man the desk, so I moved down to the next town and was hired by the now defunct Carlstown Inn. It was fun for a while, learning new stuff. I can say without bragging that I cleared the best board in town. That's motelspeak for making sure the check-outs are out and in the check-ins are in the correct rooms on the board and on the property. Dealing with the public gets old. Quite quickly. The guy who hired me told me to let him know when I finished college. And, foolishly, I did. The next thing I know, I'm demonstrating to an evil woman named Kathy that yes, indeed, I do know how to operate an adding machine. Heck, I can even balance books and set up 3-D Excel spreadsheets!
So, that's how I became a payroll clerk. Or Payroll Queen, as I once signed an IRS return. It wasn't really anything I planned, it just happened. I think that's 98% of my life right there: unplanned, just happening.
I always believed that it would be more.
More interesting, more absorbing, more fulfilling, more something. More.
Growing up I alternated between wanting to be an archaeologist and wanting to be a writer, and I've pulled off a perfect double fault: I'm not either one! I don't even write letters anymore. And I'm sooooooo bored. I want to be engrossed in what I do, not watching the clock and thinking 'when I get off, I'm going to...' and never really doing anything with the possible exception of bitching, which, of course, I'm really really good at. Is that too much to ask? To get something out of eight-plus hours a day besides a vague headache and a paycheck?
I don't know. All I know is that my youngest child will graduate high school in the year 2016. Assuming, of course, that she doesn't end up in reform school. And I'll work in Mickey D's if I have to, but I'm not going to spend one more minute wishing I were somewhere else.
Like Lucinda Williams said, is it too much to demand I want a full house and a rock and roll band? Pens that won't run out of ink, and cool quiet and time to think? Shouldn't I have this?Shouldn't I have this? Shouldn't I have all of this and passionate kisses ... ?
The cool quiet and time to think part sounds like heaven.

A Rose By Any Other Name
The thing is "class" has lost its meaning. Which brings me to my point. This is the best online find ever. Just type in "class" up there in that big white box and watch the riches pour down. 157 entries worth. Plus antonyms! My definition of "class" in this usage is synonymous with admirable, which in turn is synonymous of cool AND copacetic. Adcoolpacetic(TM), if you will.

CONCACAF Champions Cup, the Quarterfinals*
Houston had it a little tougher. Costa Rica's Puntarenas had them down a goal and a man in the first leg. Eddie Robinson's red card kept him out of the second and Brian Ching's fitness kept him out of the first match and all but the final 20 of the second. His fitness. I thought (and I swear I read it somewhere on the trash-strewn information highway) he was injured, so I was ok with that. Then I learn that he was given an extra long off season due to the World Cup. The World freaking Cup. He didn't even play. Riding the bus is so exhausting? But anyway, I digress. They played on Texas A&M's soccer field, which was beautiful. Not much in the way of "stadiumness", but the grass was gorgeous. Probably a disadvantage to Puntarenas, who play in a dried up cow pasture. To be honest, Houston looked fat and slow, all man-tits and potbellies. Dalglish's goal in the first half turned them into sharks. Fat slow sharks with man-tits, but sharks nonetheless. And Puntarenas reciprocated by strapping on their SCUBA gear and diving with gusto. Yellow cards were given for lip, but none for fouls. Kelly Gray poked in a rebound (off a Ching header - guess he'll be *resting* the next leg) and the fat slow man-titted sharks held on to win 2-1 on aggregate. Stunningly, there seem to be no synonyms for "aggregate." More stunningly, two, count-'em-two, MLS teams are in the semifinals.
D.C. United vs. Chivas, Houston vs. Pachuca, March 14. Be there for the Tex-Mex Clasico.

Helping your children out financially is something that every parent would want to do. However, you need to be careful if you do not want them to receive a large bill from the taxman. Here are some things that you will need to know.
Giving money to your children may seem like an excellent way to assist financially. However, while there is no limit on how much you can give, there are some tax implications to consider.
Give them the cash in the wrong way or at the wrong time and they could end up being chased after by the tax man at a later date.
Here are some things that you need to think about before writing a cheque to your children.
Inheritance tax
Fact: Inheritance tax will see the government get a portion of your estate before it is passed on to your children; it is also implemented to any monetary gifts that you give in the period of 7 years after your death.
The primary concern for most parents giving money is that their children will have to face an inheritance tax bill should they die.
Your estate (the possessions, savings, and property that you leave behind) is assessed when you pass away.
The first £325,000 of anything you own is exempted from inheritance tax (also known as the nil rate band). However, the amount over this is taxed at 40 percent.
As an example, say your estate is assessed at £425,000, the first £325,000 of this would be exempted from inheritance tax. However, £100,000 of its value would be taxed at 40 percent so the tax man would demand £40,000 before the balance is transferred to your next of kin.
However, if you are married, you can transfer your full estate to your spouse if you have passed away without paying any inheritance tax.
By doing this, you also transfer your £325,000 inheritance tax exemption, so £650,000 of your combined estate would remain exempted from inheritance tax on their passing.
Exemptions and allowances
There are a series of additional allowances and exemptions that allow you to gift money without the worry of Inheritance Tax aside from the Inheritance Tax exemption threshold.
Here are the most relevant if you are thinking about giving money to your child.
- Special Occasions
- Annual Allowance
- Selling your house
- Regular payments
Income tax
Tax break: Gifts are exempted from income tax as they are not considered as a source of income by the HMRC, and therefore you do not need to be concerned regarding income tax when gifting money to your daughter or son.
You may be worried that by gifting money to your children, they will be driven into a higher income tax band, or be subject to pay income tax on the gift itself.
However, this is a common misunderstanding and as long as your child is over 18 is not the case.
Loss of benefits
Something else to consider before you gift money to your children is the effect it might have on their rights to receive benefits.
Although gifts are not considered as a source of income, and therefore cannot put the earnings of your child over the benefit thresholds, some benefits depend on the amount of savings that you have in the bank.
For example, if your child is presently receiving income support and your gift would see their savings rise to over £16,000, they could lose their benefits as a result.
To let your daughter or son avoid losing any income from benefits it is best to sit down and check if the gift you wish to give your children would cause any issues.

Olivia & Kevin ~ Engagement ~ 01/15/17
Rose-Lily met up with Olivia & Kevin for a wonderful mid-Winter Engagement Session at beautiful Whatcom Falls in Bellingham back on 01/15/17! We walked with the happy couple around the park that surrounds this stunning Pacific Northwest attraction and were able to incorporate it's stunning natural beauty into several of our photographs. We were even joined by a couple of curious ducks, which seemed fitting since Kevin is an avid duck hunter, but as this was only a day for photography, they remained only a sight to be seen and did not become a main course for dinner! Olivia and Kevin met over 4 years ago during freshman orientation at WSU (Pullman) & have been going strong even since. Their fist date was dinner & then cruising and star gazing in Kevin's Jeep. They got engaged on 03/19/16 when Kevin asked & Olivia said "yes" and when they aren't taking Engagement photos Olivia & Kevin like hunting, dining out, bar hopping and watching the Seahawks! So please join me in wishing them both a big CONGRATULATIONS on their special upcoming Wedding day at Maplehurst Farm in Mount Vernon on 03/25/17 & check out these highlights from our fantastic Engagement Session!

After celebrating Bitcoin 10th anniversary the coin is looking to stabilize. We are currently following a 2-month consolidation channel where the average price is $ 6500. Let's look back at week 45. This week we had a good week for altcoins in overall. Multiple cryptocoins were pumping, SignalAlert spotted a few.
The signals given this week resulted in a hit rate of 85,7%. If traded properly you could have made a profit of at least 42%+. The quickest call reached was $MOD, just within 48 minutes this call reached an astonishing profit of 7.29%.
In the right column you can see the Profit or loss of our calls this week.
Interested in receiving cryptosignals? visit https://signalalert.io Or check their Telegram t.me/signal_alert
The market is still not deciding which way it would like to go. We are asking ourselves, will we go up or down? But it looks like this market is just doing what it wants, which is going sideways. In this consolidation channel it looks that Bitcoin is the Mother of all coins. We see a changing alt coin market, the altcoins used to follow Bitcoin more but now they are standing alone.
For this week SignalAlert is expecting a push some altcoins, some as XLM, NEM, IOTA, ZIL. As for Bitcoin, the launch of the BAKKT future which will happen today (Monday) will probably result in a fluctuation in price.
We are currently getting closer and closer to the end of the year. Some predictors have predicted Bitcoin to be $100 000, we don't think this is realistic anymore. What could be possible is $20 000 again. But there still is a long way to go. With BTC now being traded for $6450 we do experience some positive sentiment which is slowly turning the market. We still have a long way to go but this market tempo is feeling good.
What happened this week in the cryptosphere?
- Bitcoin became ten years old, which is quite young.
- Officials selling ID documents and passports for Bitcoin in Bulgaria.
- Charlie Shrem stole 5000 Bitcoin of Winklevoss Twins.
- According to the SEC's last annual report; "The Enforcement Division recognizes the need to balance its mission to protect investors from the risk posed by fraud and registration violations against the risk of stifing innovation and legitimate capital formation".
