Jim Jubak, a popular prognosticator over at MSN’s MoneyCentral, has gotten religion over peak oil:The oil squeeze has just begunWorld will face oil crunch in five years.That’s not exactly the kind of headline you want to read when crude oil is already at 3 a barrel. It is a hard truth that the global supply of oil and natural gas from the conventional sources relied upon historically is unlikely to meet projected 50% to 60% growth in demand over the next 25 years, says the draft report, titled Facing the Hard Truths About Energy.The conclusions appear to be the first explicit concession by the petroleum industry that it alone can’t meet burgeoning global demand for oil, which may rise to as much as 120 million barrels a day by 2030 from about 84 million barrels a day currently, according to some projections.Hey, I have been making that explicit concession for a long time, and critics are always telling me that I represent the petroleum industry.Labels: investing, manpower, Peak Lite, Peak Oil

Wow, I really do not know where to begin. He is usually a very optimistic and always tells us that “this is the way life is in Israel.” We have to rely on the news stations here for any information and we all know that unless there is something horrific, there is barely a mention of what is going on at home. You see life through a different set of eyes and approach every day living in a very different way. We are blessed to have loving family and friends who are making our visit most enjoyable and pleasurable. He and his crew of painters have been here since last Thursday and I must say we are starting to see lovely results. The man from Hoffberger Oil is here cleaning the furnace and David is in deep conversation with him about heating and airconditioning costs. I am not sure why, but a phone call this morning told us to expect someone to come. In her opening remarks, Yehudis shared her personal reflection on Aliyah. A former Baltimorian who now lives in Bet Shemesh/Ramat Bet Shemesh, she gave an honest account of her initial response to making Aliyah. She told us that she did not want to move away from her house and all the creature comforts of suburban life (schule, shopping etc.). When she arrived in Israel her first remark to her husband was “why didn’t we do this ten years ago?” She told us the sad news that a mutual friend had passed from this world. We have known these people for over twenty years. Last October Izzy made his first and only visit to Israel. Izzy was asked if he had ever been to Israel and he replied no. He spent two weeks touring all around the country living his life in a manner that he never had. She said that when he returned to Baltimore, he told her this was the most wonderful experience of his entire life. No one likes to face the fact that they will not be here forever even though we know we won’t. It is comforting to know that each of us is taken care of and we were able to make decisions. We figured as long as we have family here we will be back visiting and G-d forbid if something happens at least we have our wishes in order. We spent a lovely evening, enjoyed a DELIC IOUS meal, met some very nice people and talked, talked and talked. Frona’s apartment is filled with all the beautiful paintings and other works of art that she has produced with her own hands. We got to see the original oil painting hanging in her dining room…So beautiful!!! A young man, probably in his late teen/early twenties was walking up to people asking them for money. When David came out from the store I told him about all the activity while he was inside. He said if he were outside he would have told the young man to take him to the car and he would have filled the car with gas. I guess the fact of life is that people are afraid to get involved with someone that they do not know. You hear all kinds of crazy stories on the news here that make you a little shy to get involved. Our friend Hillel was coming for a morning visit. I told her to come on over. had her daughter Harriet drive her over so she could make a date with me. Well, she schlepped up our driveway with a smile on her face and we do have a date. Eliyahu would go next door to Aunt Grandma’s (Elyse) house for grapes and a chance to play her piano. This I can tell you and it was based on a conversation I had with some people after Shabbat services that day. They knew we had made Aliyah but did not know we were here visiting. I told them that once you move into Hashem’s house you do not want to move out. There can be no more natural environment for the soul than to dwell in the land of Israel and connect directly with the creator of the universe.We were off to Florida to visit dad. The last time he was in Israel was when his father left this world. Anyone who knows me by now will know the next thing out of my mouth. So, why are you here and not in Israel? He was born in Israel and lived in the States until he was six years old. I told Abbe I want to see him in Israel. Mandi and her friend from college (Melanie drove two hours each way to see Mandi) were off on their own. I told David I would walk the mall with him but could not take the intense heat in the middle of the day. Aunt Shirley helped me with that the other night when we went to visit her and Uncle Jay. The food is so good here. When we walked in David saw someone he knows from his Daf Yomi class at Suburban. Mandi and I finished watching Dream Girls on her portable DVD player. I had been asking for this chance while we were here. I asked Hashem for his help while we were here visiting and sure enough while I was shopping for Shabbat last Thursday, there she was. I was chasing after her with my cart. I cannot wait to get back to Israel and put it up on my refrigerator.Shabbat was made even more special this week. Mandi and Jason, Debbie and her son Jeremy spent the entire afternoon with us. I have known David my entire life. I told David he is not even at the halfway point yet. David spoke and told them that their souls will become infused with the Kedusha of the land. We thought we were just going to say hello and admire her work. She let us share the mitzvah with her. Later in the day we returned to see the finished product of her labor. Perhaps she knows more than we do about what is happening in Israel. I will have to write back and tell her that for now we are here in Baltimore though our hearts are in Israel. Israel needs to be foremost in our thoughts and prayers.With much love,Beth and DavidFor prior editions of our journal visit Http://aliyah 2006.

This week’s prompt is: Wicked. To some, wicked is a good thing. To others wicked is evil. For some the word brings out a twitch of the tail and a wink of an eye. To others, it brings on a shudder and crossed fingers or held breath. Whichever camp you are in, wicked tends toward the extreme.

Pearl brings this action in her own right, as Executor of the Estate of Daniel Pearl and as MOHAMMED HASHIM QADEER AKA “ARIF” RAMZI (Deceased) SALMAN SAQIB AKA SYED SULEIMAN SAQUIB AL RASHID TRUST AL AKHTAR TRUST INTERNATIONAL AKA AL AKWI7AR TRUST AL QAEDA HABIB BANK LIMITED HARAKAT UL-MUJAHEDEEN IIARAKAT UL-MUJAHEDEEN AL-ALMI JAISH-E-MOHAMMED LASHKAR-E-JHANGVI Defendants. The minor son of Plaintiff Mariane Pearl and decedent Daniel Pearl is a joint American and French citizen residing in Paris, France. This Complaint is brought against those individual terrorists who kidnapped, tortured, and murdered Daniel Pearl and those individuals and organizations which aided and abetted in those acts. Plaintiffs seek to hold responsible those terrorists, terrorist organizations and the supporting charitable and banking organizations for the senseless kidnapping, torture and murder of Daniel Pearl. Mariane Pearl brings this action in her own right, as Personal Representative of the Estate of Daniel Pearl, who was a U.S. citizen residing in India, and as Guardian of her and Daniel’s Minor son who is ajoint U.S. and French citizen. At the time he was taken hostage, Daniel Pearl was working on a story for the WSJ about Richard Reid, a suspected member of al Qaeda. Daniel Pearl, hoping to interview the cleric, went to Pakistan in early January 2002 accompanied by his wife Mariane Pearl, who was three months pregnant. Just prior to the trip, Daniel Pearl and Mariane Pearl learned they would be having a son. Posing as disciples of Sheikh Gilani, Omar Sheikh and other coPage5of49 Case 1:07-cv-02908-DLI-RML Document 1 Filed 07/18/2007 Page 6 of 49 conspirators met Daniel Pearl at the Akbar Hotel in Rawalpindi, Pakistan on January 11, 2002. Jmmediately following the meeting, 0mw Sheikh and other Defendants began plotting the kidnapping of Daniel Pearl. 0mw Sheikh and other Defendants then lured Daniel Pearl in a series of increasingly promising c-mails and phone calls to Karachi, Pakistan where his abductors waited. Finally, on or about January 23, 2002 Omar Sheikh and his conspirators kidnapped Daniel Pearl under the false pretence he was meeting with Sheikh Gilani at the Village Restaurant in downtown Karachi. For the next eight or nine days Daniel Pearl was forcibly detained and tortured by Defendants at an old nursery compound in a northern suburb of Karachi. Additionally, Daniel Pearl refused to eat for two days after overhearing his Page 6 of 49 Case 1:07-cv-02908-DLI-RML Document 1 Filed 07/18/2007 Page 7 of 49 captors speak of an “injection” In spite of repeated pleas from his family and the WSJ to release Daniel Pearl, Defendants on or about January 31, 2002, forced Daniel Pearl to make statements about his religious heritage and to avow sympathy for those detained by the U.S. at Guantanamo Bay. The kidnappers used Daniel Pearl’s cell phone to call and threaten Plaintiff Mariane Pearl who was in Pakistan searching for Daniel. In February 2002, Abmed Omar Saeed Sheikh (“Omar Sheikh”) admitted to Pakistani authorities he conceived and organized the kidnapping of Daniel Pearl. In July 2002, a Pakistani court convicted Omar Sheikh for his role in organizing the kidnapping and murder of Daniel Pearl sentencing him to death. With Arif’s help, Omar Sheikh and Arif met Daniel Pearl at the Akbar International Hotel in Rawalpindi, Pakistan on January 11, 2002. Over the next 10 or 11 days, Daniel Pearl and Omar Sheikh exchanged increasingly friendly e-mails luring Daniel Pearl into Omar Sheikh’s trap. Bashir relayed that a follower of Sheikh Gilani, Imtiaz Siddique, also known as Defendant Arnjad Farooqi, would escort Daniel Pearl to the meeting. Saqib acknowledged he executed the orders of Omar Sheikh and assisted him by sending c-mails announcing the kidnapping of Daniel Pearl to U.S. and foreign news organizations. Witnesses at Naseem’s trial testified that ePage 12 of49 Case 1:07-cv-02908-DLI-RML Document 1 Filed 07/18/2007 Page 13 of 49 mails concerning Daniel Pearl sent through the Internet were sent from Naseem’ Amjad Farooqi was Omar Sheikh’s counterpart during the kidnapping and torture, directing the second terrorist cell that captured Daniel Pearl and detained him. Farooqi sheltered Khalid Sheikh Mohammed (“KSM”), an al Qaeda senior leader and mastermind of the 9/11 terrorist attacks and the murder of Daniel Pearl, following the U.S invasion of Afghanistan. Karim divulged the location of Daniel Pearl’s body and also revealed that the execution of Daniel Pearl was conducted by three Arabic speaking men who brought a video camera. Saud Memon, who is recently deceased, knowingly conspired, aided and abetted, and financially supported the kidnapping, ransom, torture, and murder of Daniel Pearl. Saud Memon then sold Daniel Pearl from Omar Sheikh to al Qaeda and KSM for 50,000 Page 15 of49 Case 1:07-cv-02908-DLI-RML Document 1 Filed 07/18/2007 Page 16 of 49 U.S. dollars. Defendant Al Rashid Trust, and its successor Al Akhtar International Trust, or Al Akhar Trust, are known financiers of al Qaeda and the principal financier of Page 17 of49 Case 1:07-cv-02908-DLI-RML Document 1 Filed 07/18/2007 Page 18 of 49 Defendant terrorist organizations Jaish-e-Mohammed and Lashkar-e-Jhangvi. Al Rashid has been directly linked to the January 2002 abduction and subsequent murder of Wall Street Journal reporter Daniel Pearl in Pakistan. The U.S. Government designated Al Akhtar Trust as a SDGT on October 14, 2003 and stated: Al Akhtar Trust is known to have provided support to al Qaida fighters in Afghanistan. An associate of Al Akhtar Trust has attempted to raise funds to finance obligatory jihad in Iraq, and it has been reported that a financier of Al Akhtar Trust has been linked to the kidnapping and murder of the Wall Street Journalts South Asia Bureau Chief, Daniel Pearl. The Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Al Akhtar Trust is Hakeen Muhaimnad Akhtar, a Pakistani citizen, who stated that their services for the Taliban and Mullah Omar Page 18 of49 Case 1:07-cv-02908-DLI-RML Document 1 Filed 07/18/2007 Page 19 of 49 were known to the world. In early 2003, a senior al Qaeda detainee told U.S. authorities Al Rashid and Al Akhtar were the primary relief agencies operating as cover organizations for al Qaeda. The U.S. Department of Treasury stated in its website that “Al Rashid has been directly linked to the January 2002 abduction and subsequent murder of Wall Street Journal reporter Daniel Pearl in Pakistan.” Al Rashid Trust and the Al Akhtar Trust aided, abetted and conspired in the murder of Daniel Pearl providing material support in the form of financial assistance, cover, and logistical assistance to Omar Sheikh, Saud Memon, and the other coconspirators. In March 2007, Defendant KSM admitted killing Daniel Pearl to a U.S. military tribunal, stating 1 decapitated with my blessed right hand the head of the American Jew, Daniel Pearl, in the city of Karachi, Pakistan.” KSM, on behalf of al Qaeda, purchased Daniel Pearl from Saud Memon, Omar Sheikh and the above designated terrorist groups for the purpose of murdering him and broadcasting his murder world-wide over the Internet. Al Qaeda finances were used to purchase Daniel Pearl, carry out his murder and dismemberment, and broadcast his murder worldwide. Nevertheless, Habib Bank provided material support in the form of financial services to support, aid and abet the goals and aspirations of HuM, JeM, LeJ, Al Qaeda, Al Rashid Trust, Al Akhtar Trust and Saud Memon. Armed with this financial support, Al Rashid Trust, Al Akhtar Trust, Saud Memon, HuM, JcM, LcJ, Al Qaeda and others carried out the kidnapping, ransom, torture, execution and dismemberment of Daniel Pearl and broadcast those images worldwide. The supporting terrorist organizations of Harakat ul-Mujahedeen (HuM), Jaish-c-Mohammcd (JcM) and Lashkar-c-Jhangvi (LcJ) knowingly and intentionally participated in and supported a conspiracy to kidnap, ransom, and torture of Daniel Pearl on behalf of their affiliated groups. These terrorist groups also sold Daniel Pearl to Al Qaeda knowing that Al Qaeda was engaged in murderous acts against U.S. bivilians as evidenced by the September 11th attacks. Members of JeM who were involved in the kidnapping, ransom, torture, execution and dismemberment of Daniel Pearl include Omar Sheikh, Saqib and Adeel. Each of these terrorist groups conspired and aided to kidnap, ransom, torture, and murder Daniel Pearl. Defendants intentionally and purposefully hid and concealed their involvement in the kidnapping, torture, and murder of Daniel Pearl. Defendants attempted to conceal their complicity in these acts by covering their heads and faces while executing Daniel Pearl and by dismembering and burying his body in ten separate pieces. Omar Sheikh, who knew the principle members of the plot, has refused to reveal the other co-conspirators who conducted the actual kidnapping and detainment and murder of Daniel Pearl despite repeated opportunities to do so, including questioning and interrogation. As a result of these intentional acts, Plaintiffs were unable until recently to learn and verify the individuals and entities responsible for Daniel Pearl’s death, and the Page 27 of 49 Case 1:07-cv-02908-DLI-RML Document 1 Filed 07/18/2007 Page 28 of 49 manner and complete circumstances of Mr. Pearl’s torture and captivity and the identity of those groups and the bank used to fimd this operation, in order to file common law claims and a lawsuit alleging a violation of the Anti-terrorism Act. Each Defendant purposefully and intentionally kidnapped, tortured, and ransomed Daniel Pearl because he was a U.S. citizen and a prominent reporter for an extremely well-known U.S. Publication — Defendants conspired to kidnap a U.S. citizen and to broadcast photographs of Daniel Pearl worldwide for the express purpose of inflicting terror on U.S. citizens and attempting to influence U.S. government policy. demands were not met, Defendants tortured Daniel Pearl, murdered him by beheading, and distributed a videotape of his murder on the Internet.

Daniel Pearl was a United States national who was killed by reason of an act of international terrorism. Plaintiff Mariane Pearl on her own behalf, as representative the estate of her deceased husband and as guardian of their minor son, a United States citizen and heir to Daniel Pearl, suffered and continue to suffer severe injury as a result of the conduct of Defendant’s acts of kidnapping, hostage taking, ransom, torture, murder, dismemberment, and broadcasting of Daniel Pearl’s torture and murder worldwide with purpose to intimidate and coerce the U.S. population and government.

Guarino, spokeswoman for the state Department of Education, said the rate in Massachusetts is closer to 1 in 130 children, based on data provided by public school districts. The number of school-age children with autism in Massachusetts jumped 84 percent from 4,080 in 2002 to 7,521 this past school year. Part of the increase may be due to more appropriate diagnosis as suggested in the Worcester Telegram article Autism rate soaring, July 19 2007.

News via AFP — Portugal is turning to wind, wave and solar power to reduce its huge dependence on oil imports and meet its international commitments to reduce carbon dioxide emissions.The world’s first commercial wave power plant is set to begin operating off Portugal’s northern coast in 2006 while work on the world’s biggest solar power station will begin in the sunny south of the country next year.But the bulk of the 2.5 billion euros (2.9 billion dollars) in private and public funds that the government of Prime Minister Jose Socrates set aside in July to develop renewable energy will go towards wind energy development.The goal is to increase the share of electricity produced from renewable energy sources in Portugal to 39 percent, as required by the UN Kyoto Protocol, from the roughly 30 percent expected this year.The wave power plant will be set up by a Portuguese consortium in the Atlantic about five kilometres (three miles) from the town of Povoa de Varzim and it will generate 2.25 megawatts of power from 2006 — enough to supply 1,500 homes.The project will use three wave power generators supplied by Scottish firm Ocean Power Delivery for eight million euros (9.4 million US dollars).The generators look like giant floating sausages and they rock with waves, pumping water to hydraulic motors that drive generators to produce electricity.If the initial phase is successful, the consortium, led by renewable energy group Enersis, said it will order 30 more Pelamis P-750 generators by the end of 2006.The government wants waves to provide 50 megawatts of power by 2010 but experts believe the country has the potential to produce far more wave energy because it has deep waters just off its shores that generate strong swells.Portugal is in a privileged place when it comes to wave energy, the head of the Portuguese Renewable Energy Association (APREN), Antonio Sa da Costa, told AFP.Wave power could supply Portugal, a nation of 10.5 million, with 20 percent of its annual electricity needs, according to a study by the Wave Energy Centre, a non-profit group dedicated to the promotion of the energy source.Meanwhile in October the government granted an operating licence for a solar energy power station to be set up in the thinly-populated Alentejo, a southern province of rolling hills that is one of Europe’s sunniest regions.This is an innovative project, Economy Minister Manuel Pinho said at the time.The 250 million euro project will have 350,000 solar panels spread over 114 hectares (280 acres) near the town of Moura and will produce 62 megawatts, or enough power for 21,000 homes.The world’s biggest existing solar power plant in Germany only produces a sixth of this power, according to Amper, the firm building the Moura plant.While the government wants solar power to generate 150 megawatts of power by 2010, up from just 2.3 today, it is aiming for a nearly four-fold increase in wind power capacity to 3,750 megawatts during the same time.To achieve this, Lisbon in September launched an international tender for three large wind parks — one for 1,000 megawatts of capacity, one for 500 megawatts and a third for 200 megawatts to be shared between small producers.Portugal is among the nations in Europe where wind energy is going to expand the most over the coming years, according to the Brussels-based European Wind Energy Association.Green groups welcome the development of renewable energy sources but experts caution they have drawbacks which could slow their development.Unlike hydro power, Portugal’s main renewable energy source, power produced from wind, waves and the sun cannot be easily stored, Sa da Costa said.Alternative sources of energy also suffer from difficulties in connecting to the main electricity grid and lengthy licencing times, he added.It can take up to three years for a wind farm to get final approval, according to APREN, which wants the detailed environmental assessments required of developers to be streamlined.The best places to set up a wind farm are often in mountainous regions with lots of wind which are also the most difficult regions to get licensing, Sa da Costa said.Despite the drawbacks, both EDP-Energias de Portugal, the nation’s main electricity provider, and Galp Energia, its main oil and natural gas company, have shown interest in the wind farm licences.Last year oil made up 58 percent of Portugal’s primary energy consumption, making it one of the most dependent nations on fossil fuels in the 25-member European Union, economy minister figures show.Previous Posts: First Solar System Assembly Plant to Be Built in UgandaGambella…

-ne In my last post, I mentioned that the Church’s fast offering program has long been an inspiration to me. In addition, there are some intriguing hints about the reality of the Restoration when we consider this program wherein members of the Church fast regularly on Sabbath days and donate the savings in food (or many times the savings, if possible) to help the needy, as administered by the Bishop with the help of other priesthood holders. Fasting is part of the process wherein we can make our Sabbath observance perfect (see Doctrine and Covenants 59:12-14).Now we know that early Christians fasted, but the Bible offers few details about how they fasted. Furthermore, those who receive fast offerings are to pray on behalf of [hyper] those who have extended their generosity in this way.This fast, the Christian is told, is very good in keeping the Lords commandments,” and if you will do these things, “this fast of yours will be perfect [teleia]” and “your sacrifice will be acceptable in Gods sight, and this fast will be recorded, and service performed in this way is beautiful and joyous (compare perfect and rejoicing in D&C 59:13-14).These principles are in remarkable accord with Latter-day Saint practices, as revealed to modern prophets. In the Shepherd of Hermas, for example, we have found the presbyters who preside over the church, and both bishops and deacons - the latter by definition subordinate to the former - concerned with widows and orphans….Justin’s reticence about presbyters and bishops, contrasting with his explicit mention of president, lector, and deacons, may also be due to the circumstances. Sunday worship, reviewing the words of the apostles and prophets, distributing the sacrament to those present and having opportunities to take it to the ill who could not come, collecting offerings for the care of the poor to be distributed under direction of the president (branch president or bishop in modern LDS terminology), a community that is closely knit together and spends a lot of time together - all these things are very typical of the LDS community. While the terminology for Church offices was very fluid then as it has been in the restored Church, the administrative concepts are very similar: Bishops and Presidents leading with the help of Elders and other offices, including deacons (which just means servant), initially under the direction of apostles and prophets (see pp.

Paul affirms that the first result of this free gift of righteousness based on faith is (1) peace with God. sacrifice on the Cross, however, this wrath has been satisfied, in the case of those who believe, thus making a new relationship with God possible. Another result of our faith in Christ is the (6) love of God through the presence of (7) the Holy Spirit in our lives. Paul concludes that the hope we have is made even more real to us because God has given us a generous down-payment, a foretaste of that which is to come (cf. When we are sick and the Spirit heals us, when we are dejected and he comforts us, when we are in need and he provides– these are but a tiny sample of that blessing that will be ours in eternity.vv.6-8– To give further evidence of the unfailing nature of God’s love, Paul goes on to say that the amazing thing about God’s love is that Jesus died for us while we were still in bondage to sin—when we could do nothing to help ourselves—indeed, when we were not even searching for him! But God showed the depth of his love for us by sending his most precious possession, his Son, to die in our place—while we were still in our sins! How great is that?vv.9-11– So if Jesus went so far as to give his life for sinners, so that we might be brought into right relationship with God, surely we will not be condemned when we stand before God at the Judgment—else why did Jesus die? When Adam and Eve sinned, rebelling against God’s command, sin and its penalty (death) entered into the world. Jesus = life.vv.20-21—In 3:20 Paul stated that the law did not have the power to make us righteous before God; According to Paul, the good news is that while the law caused the awareness of sin to increase, God in his mercy had something else up his sleeve—his Son Jesus Christ. According to this chapter, what 7 things result from the free gift of God’s salvation by faith in Christ?

-ne *Just a clafification on the last entry, I was asked if I was referencing certin people when talking about buying alcohol. The people on this list have been taken from a large list and narrowed down to the top ten people that should be dragged outback and shot in the head with a .50 caliber machine gun. Im not a fucking biologist, im an Engineer, I don’t fucking care about osmosis and neither does the professor, do die Andre, Die. #9 The Hairy Girl - When visiting the lady friends in the previous entry, we were greeted at the door by this girl who was fucking nasty. You would think that these people would stay as far away from people as possible and only when neccessary to come out in public that they cloth their entire body so no skin is sceen. #8 Fat People - I not talking about 20 or 30 pounds overweight but people who weigh 4 or 5 hundred pounds. If you were to try to shoot these people in the traditional mannor, the bullets might bounce back, so instead you might try lauching them with a trebuchet, a catapult for you undereducated faggots, off a bridge, and if they dont die upon impact they will surly drowned because they can’t swim because they are HUGE!! He told my they are are stuipd and that when they call me back tell them that they are stupid fucks and hang up. I wish lifw was like the cartoons so I could reach through the phone and strangle the fuck out of these people. #3 People who do not speak English - Your in America, speek fucking English, we speek your native language when we go to your country not fuckin speek ours. #2 People who have sex in bathrooms - There people piss me off alot, especially after I’ve been drinking and have to use the stairewell to releave myself because you are fucking in the bathroom. In the last 2 weeks I have found myself using alternative methods of pissing because the bathroom had been taken over by people who have found the urge to fuck.

Look for an announcement from him with times and directions.Diana Gietl and Dave Duguid went caving with Tanya McLaughlin to Rowland Springs Cave. After the mapping, Diana would like to go back for a photo trip in this dolomite cave. Tanya had no vertical gear with her, so Dave and Tanya left Diana at the bottom while they left the cave and went around the other way. Cave access is very convenient, and there are probably at least two more survey trips to go.

Brits who go to France, as I did this week, look around and see bargain prices, especially on property - but many French families can’t afford even these prices. Sego wants to maintain it, which really makes her the conservative in some ways.I recently bought tickets for Swan Lake, the Royal Ballet, to which I planned to go with my mother-in-law, but now she can’t go because of a medical appointment. You have to buy more tickets, then send the original ones back recorded delivery, and only then do they refund your card with the original amount.

I had this thought while i was out walking last night, and I’m not sure I can get all my thoughts out (because one can think MUCH clearer while walking a dog in the hood than when in charge of five fighting, yelling, playing complaining children.)In the last few months, grumblings have been heard from some of the Bush voters. Plus a ton of card carrying conservatives were critical of that move.It seems to me, that the libertarians (and 9/11 Conservatives) can’t even stand the debate regarding issues of morals.

Ok so I know this is blasphemous as hell but I never claimed to be a good Catholic. In fact, I think I’ve claimed on this blog several times to be the worst Catholic ever so I might as well live up to it right?Cathy’s Ten Commandments1) Thou shalt not eat all my cheetos. Ever.2) Thou shalt not tell me how you had a good time and will call me soon and then NOT CALL. WHY? Why can’t you just say Thanks for the lovely day, good bye. And then I’m not wondering. It’s not like I actually CARE about you, it’s the uncertainty that sucks. Ass.3) Thou shalt NEVER pre-empt The O.C. with BASEBALL. DO YOU HEAR ME FOX??? You’re pissing me off.4) Thou shalt not annoy me with obnoxious sayings like Whoa and Good Times. Who says whoa anyway? It was all whoa, look what we got here whoa, what is this whoa, check this out. Dude, you’re 32. STOP SAYING WHOA.5) Thou shalt know that there is no holier truth than the high holy saying STANFORD SUCKS and that ye shall abide and live by this and teach it to ye children. Forever and ever. Amen. Go bears.6) Thou shalt not reprimand me for putting a dollop of jam on my bread whilst you are busy trying to stuff a piece of cheese bigger than my head into your mouth.7) Thou shalt not refer to hookup sex as lovemaking. Could you please NOT talk while we’re having sex. That means none of that, I love making love to you crap. Please, I don’t even know your name.8) Thou shalt not use Its not you, its God telling me youre not the one Im going to marry as a breakup line. What you should have said is Im mental and require psychiatric help which may make it hard for me to make time for dates with you.”9) Thou shalt not refer to Will Ferrell as anything other than a comic GOD.10) Thou shalt not ask me if Im about to come two seconds after inserting your penis into my vagina. If thats all it took YOU WOULDNT EVEN BE HERE.link

All he wanted to do was have some fun, preferably with Sheryl Crow.Meanwhile, Jor-El was ruminating over Superman’s last plea to turn him into a mortal human.

And imagine your only source of communication is emails and phoning.And imagine that neither of us was able to check emails regularly and he always missed me when he tried to call.And imagine you don’t want to hurt someone who is thousands of miles away, but you can’t just let things fester because “oh, well, he’s deployed.”So it started like this: I emailed him about an incident. He calls back again, and this time it is a better connection, and we start talking…knowing full well that we have 15 minutes to resolve our differences.And now I can laugh about it, and say, if more couples only had a 15 minute phone call to resolve their issues, problems might be solved a lot quicker. He had about 2 minutes griping about me, I had a 2 minute rebuttal, and then we were both so scared about this getting blown out of proportion that we would start sentences with: “I really love you BUT…” as if we were both afraid the connection would disconnect and the only point we had gotten across was what a bitch I was, or what a jerk he was.After both licking our wounds, we slid into the making-up period after about 8 minutes.

I noticed yesterday that Ted Kennedy was celebrating the first anniversary of Abu Ghraib with a lengthy comment about how the administration pissed away our moral authority by permitting torture (this, of course, is after Bush pissed away the good will of the world after 9/11).

-ne Once again, Ben and I are back with our picks for Week 13 for the NFL season. As always, home teams are bolded.This Week:Ben: 7-9Zach: 8-8Dolphins -5 vs. I like the Dolphins to win this game but I don’t think they’re going to be blowing anyone out, especially a rival like Buffalo who usually can play them close. I’m sick of being let down by the Steelers this season and with Big Ben now revealing he has a thumb injury, it makes this pick even harder. I was on the verge of picking Houston, but I can’t take the worst team in the NFL. Even Jamal Lewis will be able to run against this team and god help David Carr behind that offensive line on the road. Right.Browns 3 vs. Jacksonville generated bigger spreads against better teams. Giants -3.5 vs. Okay, reasons for Dallas this week: Long rest, better defense and I think this game will come down to three points. That’s not enough to cover the seven points, unless you think the Packers will be held off the board, and I don’t think they will. I don’t know any personally, but I doubt Viking fans truly believe this team can make the postseason yet. Teams that can defend the pass, ala the Bears, the Bills and yes, even the Jets for three quarters, showed they can contain the Panthers offense. Until they can show they can run it, I won’t buy Carolina against any team with a decent defense. Right.49ers 3 vs. (And only slightly less beat up!) Plus I don’t get the first pick in the draft come April to try to correct this problem. Wrong.Rams 3 vs. The Redskins have had some tough losses of late, but I don’t buy that the Rams are the QB version of the Broncos: anyone they plug in can put up numbers. Because one of my steadfast rules of picking NFL games is never to pick New England with a big spread. With that defense they don’t deserve that big a line against anyone… maybe even the Texans.

汝觀吾累劫勤苦。度脫如是等難化剛強罪苦眾生。 釋迦牟尼佛如是示現，是做出榜樣教導菩薩。菩薩破一品無明，證一分法身，就有能力千百億化身。菩薩應當要學佛，廣度眾生。圓教初住菩薩、別教初地菩薩，就可以隨類化身。《楞嚴經》上講的觀音菩薩是初住菩薩，不是等覺菩薩。觀音菩薩講他修行的經歷，修行所依據的理論與方法，功夫是「反聞聞自性，性成無上道」。破一品無明，見性之後，就有能力三十二應。楞嚴會上觀音是初發心住的菩薩，菩提心剛剛發起，就有如此大的能力。《華嚴經》上，善財童子五十三參中，參訪觀世音菩薩，觀世音菩薩代表的是第七迴向位。《法華經‧普門品》的觀世音菩薩是等覺菩薩。菩薩有「道前菩薩」與「道位菩薩」，道前是等覺以前，從初信位到法雲地皆稱道前，等覺是道位。菩薩成佛以後倒駕慈航，再以菩薩身度化眾生，如世尊一樣，有能力盡虛空、遍法界，與一切眾生感應道交。眾生有感，佛菩薩就有應。感有顯感、冥感，應有顯應、冥應，不一定現什麼身。佛菩薩一定為根熟的眾生做增上緣，幫助眾生，成就眾生。 父母之恩、師長之恩難忘！佛教導我們「上報四重恩」。四重恩即父母之恩、師長之恩（包含三寶）、國家之恩、眾生之恩。國家保護我們，使我們安居樂業。眾生是我們的依靠，我們不能離開社會大眾而獨立生存。我們要常常思念父母、師長、國家、眾生之恩德，要知恩報恩！如何報恩？認真學習，斷煩惱、開智慧，作佛、作菩薩，像地藏菩薩一樣，方真正是「上報四重恩，下濟三途苦」。其有未調伏者。隨業報應。若墮惡趣。受大苦時。汝當憶念吾在忉利天宮。殷懃付囑。令娑婆世界。至彌勒出世已來眾生。悉使解脫。永離諸苦。遇佛授記。 「汝」是指地藏菩薩；「吾」是釋迦牟尼佛自稱。世尊囑咐說，地藏菩薩應當要想到，世尊在忉利天宮，將教化眾生之重任託付。「令娑婆世界，至彌勒出世已來眾生」，指造作種種罪業應墮地獄的眾生，「悉使解脫，永離諸苦，遇佛授記」。地藏菩薩用什麼法門？用念佛法門。末法時期眾生業障習氣很重，其他的法門決定不能成就。雖說法門平等無有高下，然眾生根性、習染不相同，修學其他的法門難，唯有念佛法門容易。我們在前面看到婆羅門女，和後面講到的光目女，都是修念佛法門。唯有修學念佛法門，往生到西方極樂世界，方是真正的解脫，遇到阿彌陀佛為之授記，永離諸苦。

Oil prices hovered around 71 dollars a barrel in Asian trade after hitting record highs overnight on rising fears of a US military strike against Iran over its nuclear program and tighter US gasoline supplies, dealers said. At 2:25 pm (0625 GMT), New York’s main contract of light sweet crude for May delivery, was down 46 cents at 70.89 dollars a barrel from a record settlement price of 71.35 dollars in US trading Tuesday.Dealers said the dip was part of a short-term correction after the contract hit a peak in intraday New York trade of 71.60 dollars.This market is ready to blow, said Tony Nunan, an energy risk manager with Mitsubishi Corp’s international petroleum business in Tokyo.Its still way above 70 dollars. Gasoline and geo-political risks are driving the market and they both dont have easy solutions.There is so much uncertainty with Iran and the real problem for the market is that Iran’s real main weapon is oil and when push comes to shove they will do something about it, Nunan said.*source - AFP—————————— - minyak semakin naik, mungkin juga harga barang juga akan naik. sampai bile kita nak bertahan dengan keadaan ini? Sebagai pengguna, kita tak dapat lari daripada keadaan ini. jadi, apakah tindakan kita untuk menghadapi tekanan ini? tepuk dada, tanya selera…

Left: enforcement isn’t just a matter of legal rules - it’s a matter of imposing your authority …The highlights of this SI are as follows:* Regulation 3 (implementing Article 13 of the Enforcement Directive) sets out the grounds on which damages should be awarded against a person who knowingly infringes an IP right.* Regulation 4 implements Article 8 of the Enforcement Directive in Scotland, creating a new type of court order for disclosure of information about infringing goods and services (this is already English law: see Norwich Pharmacal v Customs and Excise Commissioners [1974] AC 133).* Schedule 1 makes various amendments to the already much-amended Registered Designs Act 1949.* Schedule 2 amends the Patents Act 1977, the Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1988 and the Trade Marks Act 1994.

They conclude that an increased awareness of fatigue in nursing and its impact on safety is necessary to realize improvements.Extended work schedules—those that vary from the standard eight hours per day, 35 to 40 hours per week—are common in nursing and contribute to problems with nursing recruitment and retention, in addition to compromising patient safety and the health and well-being of nurses.
