Israeli forces shot and killed a 22-year-old Palestinian and injured 12 others Monday night during clashes that broke out after a military jeep entered the Qalandiya camp.
Two soldiers were extricated from the camp after their military jeep was hit by a firebomb.
Qalandiya residents told Ma'an News that large numbers of Israeli soldiers were sent to the camp to rescue other soldiers who had entered it. According to locals, the soldiers were held by Palestinian gunmen before being evacuated by an Israeli military helicopter.
Violent clashes broke out between Palestinians and Israeli soldiers. According to a military spokesperson, Israeli soldiers opened fire on residents who were throwing rocks and Molotov cocktails.
The spokesperson said that "a mob attacked a military vehicle" which was set ablaze by a firebomb. The two soldiers inside the jeep escaped by foot, and the Israeli army launched a search to extract the soldiers. "Riots erupted" between residents and military forces carrying out the search, the spokesperson added.
Iyad Omar Sajadiyya, a 22-year-old journalism student at al-Quds University in Abu Dis, was killed after being shot in the head. Red Crescent officials said ambulances evacuated 12 other young men for treatment, who were shot with live ammunition, rubber-coated steel bullets and hit with high velocity tear gas canisters. Medical officials said five Israeli officers were injured.
The Israeli army said it was still looking into why the military vehicle had initially entered the camp. Israeli media reported that an initial investigation suggests the soldiers entered Qalandiya camp by mistake. The two soldiers were travelling with the navigation application Waze, Haaretz reported.

I have decided to celebrate Israel's 65th birthday by presenting to you, our readers, two great Jewish women who have succeeded in life, way beyond the expected. I may be revealing my age, but I'd rather watch Barbara Streisand sing any day rather than even look at Taylor Swift!
Do you agree? Comment Below!
1-Barabara Joan Streisand was born on April 24, 1942, in Brooklyn, New York. She is an actress, director, producer and writer. . She has won many awards including two Oscars, five Emmys, eight Golden Globes, three People's Choice Awards, two Women in Film Crystal Awards and two ASCAP Film and Television Music Awards. Barbra has also received an American Film Institute award and a Cecil B. DeMille Award. She has also supported autism awareness, and On April 16th, 2008, Barbra Streisand endowed $5 million to Cedars-Sinai for the creation of The Barbra Streisand Women's Cardiovascular Research and Education Program.
Inspiring Quote:
"I arrived in Hollywood without having my nose fixed, my teeth capped, or my name changed. That is very gratifying to me."
2-Golda Meir was born the daughter of Moshe and Bluma Mabovitch in Kiev, Ukraine, on May 3, 1898. She moved with her family to Milwaukee, Wisconsin, in 1906. The Mabovitch family had fled their home in part to escape pogroms (mob attacks) that had been carried out against Jews in Russia at the time. Meir later recalled that her childhood terror of anti-Semitic (anti-Jewish) violence strongly influenced her later commitment to establish Israel as a safe, secure Jewish state.
In 1956, Israeli prime minister David Ben-Gurion (1886–1976) called Meir "the best man" in his cabinet and named her to replace Shertok-Sharett as foreign minister, among the most important government jobs in the nation. It was now, as a result of Ben-Gurion's desire to have all Israelis bear Hebrew names, that she reluctantly altered her name to Meir, while keeping it as close as possible to Myerson.
Golda Meir served as Israel's foreign minister from 1956 to 1966 and became its fourth prime minister in 1969.
Even in retirement, Meir remained an important political presence in Israel. Her autobiography, My Life, helped assure her place in the public's imagination as the kindly grandmother who had risen to greatness in her nation's hour of need. Meir died in Jerusalem on December 8, 1978.
Inspiring Quotes:
"Not being beautiful was the true blessing. Not being beautiful forced me to develop my inner resources. The pretty girl has a handicap to overcome."
"To be successful, a woman has to be much better at her job than a man."
"Trust yourself. Create the kind of self that you will be happy to live with all your life. Make the most of yourself by fanning the tiny, inner sparks of possibility into flames of achievement."
"We Jews have a secret weapon in our struggle with the Arabs; we have no place to go."

Hint: I don't think it was at all, as much as certain members of the media are playing up Romney's tour abroad like it was the most gaffe-tastic episode in the history of modern politics. Apparently, we're to believe that Romney's week off from domestic campaigning was a "public relations disaster," that it "didn't go well," that it could "cost him" in his run for the White House, etcetera. ABC even has a handy-dandy list of the supposed flubs of Romney's "awkward foreign tour." Yeah, okay, if you say so:
Who Mitt made mad: Mad might be a bit strong, but the Labor party's Ed Miliband couldn't have been too pleased after their first meeting and brief photo op.
What Mitt said: The problem lay largely in what he didn't say — specifically "Miliband." Romney seemed to forget the opposition leader's name: "Like you, Mr. Leader, I look forward to our conversations this morning."
What they said: Miliband played it cool. The Independent newspaper just sounded confused. Their headline: "Mr. Leader? Did Mitt Romney forget Ed Miliband's name?"
Er… yes, you're right, all those gaffes are superbly gauche and embarrassing and speak to Romney's inability to handle matters of foreign policy. I mean, why didn't he just go whole-hog and moon the Queen while he was at it?
Really, though — perhaps calling London's Olympic preparations "disconcerting" was mildly uncomfortable and could've been said differently, but otherwise, I'm not seeing the gaffes. As Ed recounted earlier, Romney had a great showing in Poland, and I must've missed the part where angering the overly-sensitive Palestinians by merely speaking the truth is supposed to be cause for alarm. Maybe I'm lacking some nuance here, but I don't see the average American voter reading too much more into this than I am.
There is the argument that voters aren't going to be voting this November based on foreign policy and that Romney's time would have been better spent at home, but it is an important issue and it's not like this was some eleventh-hour voyage — there are still 98 days to go. As Romney reinforced on Fox News this morning, all this talk about his supposed "gaffes" is just more media baloney meant to steer the masses away from the crucial issues:
"You know, I'm very pleased with what I've learned on this trip and the opportunities I've had to speak with leaders and exchanges we had. And I realize that there will be some in the fourth estate or whichever estate, who are far more interested in finding something to write about that is unrelated to the economy, to geopolitics, to the threat of war, to the reality of conflict in Afghanistan today, to a nuclearization of Iran. They'll instead try to find—try and find anything else to divert from the fact that these last four years have been tough years for our country. They've been years of tumult in the world. And we need to see a better direction taken on the part of our nation."

Forget last week's midterm elections. The biggest vote of the year in the automotive industry will come next week when General Motors asks potential investors for a vote of confidence in the amount of $13 billion to fund its return to public trading.
The precise date of the so-called initial public offering, or IPO, has not been confirmed, but it's widely expected to happen Nov. 18. In the meantime, senior GM managers have fanned out across the globe, trying to win commitments from key investors — potentially including several sovereign wealth funds in the Middle East and even SAIC, GM's Chinese partner for developing alternative-energy vehicles.
The sales pitch isn't easy. Investors have long memories, and they remember the General Motors that filed for bankruptcy in June 2009, wiping out billions of dollars in stock and bondholder assets. But money managers are also loath to pass up a good deal, and when it comes to future opportunities GM has a very good story to tell.
"I know a great investment opportunity, and the new GM is just that," GM chief executive Daniel Akerson said in a video presentation posted on the Internet last week. "We can make significant profit even in today's difficult environment."
GM said Wednesday it made $2 billion in the July-September quarter, its third consecutive quarter in the black. That's all the more impressive when you remember that 2010 was one of the worst years ever for the industry.
Should the industry return to the annual sales peak of 17 million units by mid-decade, as some analysts expect, the automaker's annual earnings could push north of $13 billion, said GM Chief Financial Officer Chris Liddell.
Better yet, GM stands to benefit from a little-noticed tax ruling handed down last year that will allow it to carry forward huge pre-bankruptcy losses of about $45 billion for up to 20 years.
But whether the car market can regain its past glory is uncertain.
There is a "very realistic" possibility the current sales cycle could peak at substantially less than 17 million vehicles, acknowledged Don Johnson, GM's sales chief. Even so, the company's post-bankruptcy business plan is designed to keep the company in the black even if sales fall to 10.5 million, he said.
October sales were good for the industry overall, with an annualized sales rate of around 12 million, but they were especially good for GM, which saw sales rise more than 13 percent year-over-year. At the same time, GM spent less on sales incentives while the company's average transaction price — what a consumer actually winds up spending on a vehicle — was up by several thousand dollars.
The credit goes to new models like the Chevrolet Equinox and the Buick LaCrosse, which have been in high demand and short supply of late. Perhaps more importantly these cars are winning rave reviews from even the skeptical Consumer Reports magazine, which in its latest issue added a number of GM models to its influential "Recommended Buy" list.
"The big news out of the [Consumer Reports] survey this year is how well GM has done," David Champion, head of Consumer Reports' Auto Test Division, said last month in a presentation to the Detroit Automotive Press Association.
Strong sales in North America will be critical to GM's success, but less so each year. The carmaker now generates about two-thirds of its sales volume outside the United States (though significantly less on a dollar basis). And the numbers are growing each year.
Last month, GM became the first automaker to top 2 million unit sales in a single year in China, and that number could reach 2.5 million before the books are closed on 2010. Meanwhile, GM is entering into a new agreement with long-time partner SAIC, a Chinese automobile manufacturer, that could not only expand its position in China, the world's largest national car market, but also expand sales in the next boom market, India.
The SAIC deal also underscores the challenges GM faces. SAIC is a partner with GM's archrival Volkswagen, and the Chinese company is set on building its own brands, which could eventually threaten both of those Western automakers.
There are tremendous opportunities in emerging markets, but equally significant uncertainties. Of course, the same could be said for the rest of the world. Europe is in turmoil, faced with tremendous overcapacity and struggling national economies. Opel, GM's German-based subsidiary, has picked up some momentum since the company abandoned plans to sell off a controlling stake last year. But a true turnaround is anything but apparent.
Will investors see GM's glass as half-empty or half-full? The carmaker is riding a middle line. It priced its IPO higher than some of the skeptics among its underwriters had called for. But at $26 to $29 a share, that's still short of $30 — the so-called "Obama number" that the White House had wanted.
The administration hopes to minimize its losses when it sells off a third of the GM holdings it acquired in return for its $50 billion bailout of the company. The stock offering will reduce the government's stake from 60.1 percent to about 40 percent. Based on the $26 to $29 price range GM has set, the government could lose as much as $5.4 billion on the stock that will be sold off during the IPO. Whether it will lose money when the remaining 40 percent is auctioned off depends on the share price then.
The hope is that the newly public GM shares will ride on the coattails of crosstown rival Ford, which this week has been trading at over $16 a share, its highest level since mid-2004. That's up from a low point of $1.26 in November 2008.
If GM shares posted even a fraction of that gain, subsequent offerings of the remaining U.S. Treasury shares could actually prove profitable. And that might be the best the current administration could hope for in light of last week's elections.

We had been married six weeks when they invited us to spend a weekend with them, she having declined to attend our wedding. They had known Demetrios for something like thirty years. Of course we went.
I brought her a loaf of homemade bread. She didn't thank me; she said, "Oh, you must have one of those bread making machines." She sliced it for the dinner she gave in our honor and covered it with a pretty linen cloth and set it near her on the table. But she never passed it around.
She introduced Demetrios to her guests as, "our very special, very dear friend" and glowed. About thirty awkward seconds later, after everyone had begun staring at me, she added, "And this is his lovely wife, Anastasia."
She offered me housekeeping lessons, explaining such things as that she moves her furniture by a half inch or so every day to keep the carpet from becoming dented and uses chlorine bleach on the brick sidewalk to get the green off.
She proposed to teach me all about Demetrios, but I said if there was still anything I didn't already know about my bridegroom, I'd really get more enjoyment out of learning it from him, so she more or less desisted.
She offered us separate bedrooms, or we could use the sleeper sofa, except that it was barely wider than a twin bed. We chose it anyway.
And then before we departed, they both presented us with a large, wrapped wedding gift. "You open it," she said, handing it to me with what looked like a smirk. "Tell us what you think before you show it to Demetrios."
It was two framed prints. "Do you like them?" they both demanded to know.
I said they were lovely.
"Let Demetrios see them!" they urged, giggling. "Let's see what he thinks!" More glee.
So I turned the prints toward my new husband and his face fell. They shrieked with laughter, clapping their hands and leaning backwards; it was all too funny for words!
Nobody explained the joke to me. He told me a little later, in private, he had given them those prints once for Christmas.
I forgot to take them with us when we loaded up the car, but she brought them out to us.
She had made me promise to arrange for us all to spend New Year's Eve together at the Jefferson Hotel. We would all dance the night away and have a champagne breakfast, and sleep there. So when the end of the year drew near, I made the reservations.
Demetrios cancelled those reservations the same day. And we never saw them again for some ten years. Demetrios never returned their calls or answered their letters. Their letters were almost always in Greek, although his mother tongue is English and hers is German.
Six months or so after our weekend with them, Demetrios asked me what had become of those prints? I said they were still in the trunk of the car. He said, "I think I might take them to the [mental] hospital and hang them there." I said I thought that would be the perfect spot for them.
He left them there when he retired.
Then, one year, their son got married. He is Demetrios' godson, so we attended the wedding. After that, we exchanged visits with these people perhaps once or twice a year, for they live an hour and a half from us.
His manners improved greatly. Her rudeness continued, on each occasion, without fail. It was always aimed at me, not Demetrios, and was carried out in ways he wasn't likely to recognize (and indeed didn't) because it was all quite petty and because it probably would take another woman to understand these sorts of little insults and humiliations.
Last night, she called. When I saw on the Caller ID who it was, I took one phone and handed Demetrios the other. I had a theory I wanted to test, which was that if I weren't present, she might not pull any shenanigans. If that were the case, if she would behave herself in my absence, then the solution would be simple: he could go to their birthdays and weddings and wine tastings without me from now on. Otherwise I'd have a problem with that. So I pressed the "Mute" button and went into another room to find out.
There were about 20 minutes of chit-chat as she told him all about her latest doings. Demetrios asked a question about one of her sons and his situation, and she replied, "I don't know. I don't ask those questions. It's his marriage; I don't worry about it."
And then she added, "Just like I don't worry about your marriage any more."
Had she stopped right there, I would have been glad to hear it, but she added, "I used to. I worried a lot that you had made such a huge mistake. Now I just say to myself, 'Oh, well, he screwed up and now he's living with it.'"
There was this stunned silence, while Demetrios fished around for what to say. She filled the silence with a playful, "Am I bad, or am I BAD?"
Finally he spluttered something lame about our marriage being just fine, and the conversation moved on.
After another 10 minutes, having run out of news about herself, and having diligently inquired and been told all about his broken foot, she asked, "How's – um – how's – your wife?" avoiding to use my name.
"She's okay," said Demetrios. "Did you know she lost her sister a few days ago?"
"Yes," was her reply; her husband had told her.
By now, 30 minutes had passed without her extending her condolences to me – or to him, for he loved my sister as well. I waited, but she still didn't. She said, "But it was expected, wasn't it?" as if that made it of very little consequence, and then she asked other questions, such as the ages of the motherless girls. And as he answered the questions, she never said anything like, "How awful!" or, "I'm so sorry!" It was, "Oh..." and, "Uh-huh..." and, "I see…"
And I'm so pleased! I hope I would never presume to demand my husband cut off long-time friends (?), any more than I would expect him to demand that of me. But the beauty of it is, she has now done it for me. At last, although unwittingly, she has shown me a kindness. And I value it rather highly. Or I would, at least, if Demetrios' disillusionment weren't somewhat painful for him.
Lord, have mercy!

Elizabeth, have you found any spiritually edifying way to deal with such circumstances? Any ways to turn this to spiritual profit? If so, please share! I have not, so far. Other than to keep forgiving; I'm aware of that part. What else???

Washoe Valley business wither with new freeway
Northern Nevada Business Weekly
Kelly Peitz spent much of the past few weeks packing up and removing everything inside Old 395 Station in Washoe Valley. Peitz's garage at her Sparks home is now stacked full with convenience-store items – racks of Bic lighters, cans of chewing tobacco, commercial deli equipment.
Old 395 Station, the venerable gas station that provided fuel and treats to residents of Washoe Valley and travelers between Reno and Carson City for decades, folded Oct. 13.
Peitz and the handful of retailers located in the Washoe Valley corridor say revenues at their businesses plummeted drastically once Interstate 580 between Reno and the state capital opened at the end of August.
Approximately 33,000 and 38,000 vehicles per day formerly traveled U.S. 395, Nevada Department of Transportation spokesman Scott Magruder says, and while no traffic counts have been undertaken on the new freeway, Magruder estimates 75 percent or more of vehicles have shifted to the new route.
That signaled a death-knell for Old 395 Station. Peitz and her husband Steve bought the business in March of 2011 and opened it a month later. They were finally headed to profitability after covering startup costs before the freeway opened, Kelly Peitz says, but once it did revenues dropped from about $8,000 to $1,000 a day. Peitz employed five people at the store, including three family members and two Washoe Valley residents. As she loads the store's goods into a pickup she regularly turns away potential customers seeking gas, especially diesel fuel.
Compounding the problem, Peitz says, is the lack of access to U.S. 395 while NDOT completes work on the Bowers Mansion Interchange.
For the past two months, travelers from Carson City could only access 395 by using the Bellevue interchange at the far south end of Washoe Valley – a 10-mile detour. Motorists headed from Reno who don't take the old route are stuck on a 12-mile stretch of I-580 once entering the new freeway at the Mount Rose Highway junction.
No one is making the long detour for a sip of gas or a sandwich. The old freeway often was jam-packed during the day with car and truck traffic warily watching for the Nevada Highway Patrol, but now motorists have the odd feeling of driving the route with no other cars in sight.
James Painter, part owner of Washoe Valley Storage, says New Washoe City is quickly becoming a ghost town. Painter and his co-workers often patronized the deli at Old 395 Station for lunch, but now the only place to get a bite is on Eastlake Boulevard or miles away in Reno.
About 20 percent of business at Washoe Valley Storage came from drivers between Carson City and Reno, Painter says. Many of his tenants have complained about the lack of access to the facility, but so far there haven't been any moveouts – yet.
The ownership at Washoe Valley Storage has cut its rates and spent money on print advertising in an effort to draw new tenants. "We are trying to even out that loss of drive-by traffic that were getting," Painter says.
Danny Salzwimmer, general manager of the Chocolate Nugget Candy Factory, began a television advertising campaign to let people know the longtime homemade candy shop still is open for business. Salzwimmer estimated the business founded in 1983 would suffer a 50 percent dip in revenues once I-580 opened, but revenues have declined to the tune of about 70 percent.
"It hasn't been good," he says. "As time goes on it seems to be dropping even more."
Chocolate Nugget was forced to lay off three people and begin closing at 6 p.m. to control costs.
Salzwimmer is working with the Nevada Interstate Logos program to install exit and directional signage for the Chocolate Nugget, and ownership also is mulling moving the business to a new location with better accessibility.
"So many ideas have been thrown out, but we are thinking of ways to boost sales somehow," Salzwimmer says. "We are just try to watch our expenses as far as ordering, and we are trying to pinch where we can."
Peitz fumes about what she perceives as failures by NDOT to provide better access to businesses on U.S. 395. Now that the store is closed she's stuck looking for a job.
"We would have made it had they left our road open. It is heartbreaking. Every time I go to that store it's hard to leave – we put so much time and resources there. Couldn't they have done things differently so we wouldn't be so affected?"
Magruder says that when the freeway finally opened after more than four years of construction no one estimated how long it would take to complete work on the Bowers Mansion Interchange, the final piece of the half-billion freeway project, the largest public works job in state history.
The interchange opened last week. Peitz hopes someone eventually purchases Old 395 Station, which should benefit from increased traffic counts once the interchange providing access to old U.S. 395 opens.
"It is still a great location," she says.

Earlier this year I got the grand idea in my head to remake a bench for Logan's room. Actually it came out of necessity. Logan believes that he is a very big boy (and he is), and insists on opening his curtains every morning. He climbs up on this footstool that we had put in his room when we moved in. This poor stool is not very stable - in fact it moves every time Logan gets up there and leans against the wall. There have been several times when Logan has hit the floor because the stool moves out from under him.
Thankfully, we had a sturdy bench that our friend Rejean kindly donated to me when I moved into my first apartment. It's a little worse for wear, but it doesn't move when toddlers climb on it. The "before" is pictured below.
Yeah, not much to look at. So I sanded it down a little. Then I glued some nice felt pieces onto the bottom so it wouldn't scratch the floor when moved by a rambunctious toddler.
Then I cut a million little pieces of colourful fabric and Mod Podged the whole bench. I actually haven't quite finished this part yet. But it's getting there!
I also ordered some fabulous vinyl fabric from Taiwan for the cushion. I chose vinyl so that it would be easily washable after a toddler uses it for a PB&J party or whatever else he gets into his head to do with it. The bears and trains and balloons on the fabric are all wonderful and perfect for children's decor.
I've still gotta finish the final touches on the Mod Podging and then put a finishing coat of something on it. It's pretty fabulous! Perfect for Logan's room! And perfect for the grand finale of Housewares Month! :)

OKLAHOMA CITY — An unusual cluster of February twisters touched down across Oklahoma, ripping off roofs, littering roads with downed power lines and killing eight people in a small southern town.
Emergency responders searched into the night in the hardest-hit community of Lone Grove, where eight people died and 14 people sustained serious injuries on Tuesday, said Oklahoma Department of Emergency Management spokeswoman Michelann Ooten.
Rescuers found one woman injured but alive under an overturned mobile home, but eventually they suspended efforts until daybreak because of numerous electricity lines down.
Structures have been damaged or destroyed throughout the town of about 4,600, some 100 miles south of Oklahoma City, said Chester Agan, assistant emergency manager for Carter County.
A twister also touched down in the Oklahoma City metropolitan area, where homes and businesses were damaged, but only three minor injuries were reported. A tornado also was reported in north-central Oklahoma and six homes were destroyed near the Oklahoma City suburb of Edmond.
In Edmond, a body shop and the vehicles inside were twisted into a ball of metal after a tornado moved through.
"It's just surreal," shop manager Michael Jerry said. "You just don't believe it. Especially knowing you were just there minutes before. The steel girders are in a ball."
Tornado watches were issued Wednesday for Mississippi, north-central Louisiana, southeast Arkansas and parts of Missouri and Tennessee.
In northwest Oklahoma City, the twister apparently developed near Wiley Post Airport and then headed northeast before damaging several shopping centers and restaurants at a major intersection.
One wall of a Chuck E. Cheese restaurant collapsed, windows were blown out, and a piece of the eatery's awning was thrown into a tree alongside an adjacent restaurant. Signs were stripped and cars were damaged in the parking lot.
It then moved through the Boulder Ridge Apartments, a spread of two-story units surrounding a courtyard.
Shawn Tiesman, 33, moved to the apartment complex from Iowa about four months ago and got his first taste of Oklahoma's notorious weather but without the same protection of his former home.
"Where I'm from, we've got basements," Tiesman said. "I'm amazed that there's no basements here."
Instead, he invited his upstairs neighbors into his apartment and then used his futon mattress to barricade them into a walk-in closet. When he emerged, he couldn't believe the wreckage.
A large section of roof was blown off an apartment building and part of a wall was blown off another. One apartment had a gaping hole knocked in its side.
Parked cars were shifted by the wind and smashed into each other. A line of fencing and a light pole were knocked to the ground where the twister moved into the backyard of two neighboring homes, leaving tree limbs, children's toys and a smashed air conditioning unit strewn in its path.
Tornado sirens went off in the area to warn residents that the storm was approaching, but some were still caught off guard.
"I can't believe we didn't hear it. You know how you normally hear it coming," said Traci Keil, 37.
In between downpours of rain, some residents wandered out to snap pictures of the wreckage with their cell phones. Neighbors helped clear pieces of plywood that had blocked in some of the cars in the parking lot.
"My kids are still in the closet and won't come out," Keil said as a third wave of downpours approached the apartment complex, more than an hour after the twister hit.
Power lines littered an intersection where motorists were told to stay in their cars until crews could clear the lines.
Oklahoma Gas and Electric reported about 8,900 customers without power, nearly 3,500 in Lone Grove, according to its Web site. Less than 1,000 Oklahoma City area customers were still in the dark. Eighteen power poles were snapped.
The Oklahoma County Election Board was preparing to tally votes for a school board election when a large area north of the state Capitol lost power about an hour before the polls closed.
Election board secretary Doug Sanderson said without electricity, election workers couldn't count the ballots. Election materials will be locked up overnight and workers will start the process on Wednesday, Sanderson said.
Besides the tornadoes, strong straight-line winds caused damage in southern and central Oklahoma, according to state emergency management officials.
Tornadoes are most numerous in Oklahoma in the spring, but can occur at any time, National Weather Service meteorologist Rick Smith said.
Winds of more than 60 mph caused dust storms in western Texas that reduced visibility so much some roads have been closed, the National Weather Service said.
The National Weather Service reported wind speeds reached 88 mph in parts of Texas, leaving behind downed trees and power outages late Tuesday night.
Emergency responders all the way from the Dallas-Fort Worth area to the Texas Hill Country said they would have to wait until daylight to assess storm damage.

What to do with current snapshot when the VM is powered off
snapshot.action = "keep"
this can be set with the gui: just power off
snapshot.action = "autoRevert"
this can be set with the gui: revert to snapshot
snapshot.action = "autoCommit"
this can be set with the gui: take a new snapshot
snapshot.action = "prompt"
this can be set with the gui: ask me
The silent-default for this option is
snapshot.action = "keep"
Set the path where snapshots are stored
workingDir = "F:\test"
workingdir = "..\..\suspend"
This parameter is available on all platforms.
Use it with care !
Related parameters in the vmx-file maybe required
suspend.Directory = "h:\suspend"
fileSearchPath = "..\..\suspend;h:\suspend;."
The filesearchPath allows more then one path - see syntax above.
Set the maximal number of snapshots that are allowed
snapshot.numSnapshots = "3"
Wonder why this is not available via the GUI ?
If the number of allowed snapshots is exceeded - an attempt to take another snapshot will display
a message.
Set the minimum required diskspace that must be available to take a snapshot
snapshot.minFreeSpace = "55000000000"
Wonder why this is not available via the GUI ?
You can set a value in bytes here - maybe useful to prevent automatic backup tools running amok and create snapshots en masse.

Germs, Be Gone! (We mean it this time!)
Well, we had a stretch of about four days when we were all well. Then started Charlotte's runny nose. Then came the cough. Then came the fever... **sigh**
Thursday evening of last week her cough got pretty bad. She had trouble sleeping because she was coughing so much and despite the humidifier and sitting in a steamy bathroom, the coughing just didn't settle down until around 2:00 or 2:30 on Friday morning. I ended up sleeping in the recliner with her on my chest, to try to help ease the coughing some. On Friday I took her to the pediatrician just to make sure there wasn't anything down in her lungs that we needed to worry about and it turned out they were perfectly clear. She developed a fever that day and it continued over the weekend, getting up to 104, and after another phone call to the pediatrician to make sure we didn't need to start her on antibiotics (we didn't, but they had given me the prescription just in case we needed it over the weekend), several doses of Tylenol and Motrin, and several homeopathic remedies, she finally started to perk up and the fever went down. This cold season has just been a nightmare!
All ready to read some stories...
"Hey Dad, are you coming? I'm ready for my story!"
I let Charlotte try using the spoon to feed herself for the first time yesterday. Some of the applesauce actually made it into the mouth... though I think most of it was on the face, the shirt, or in the hair. You turn your back for just one minute, and this is what happens... And apparantly I am not a quick learner because I left her alone with oatmeal this morning. It didn't end up in the hair, but it was everywhere else. She especially enjoyed squishing the oatmeal between her fingers.
Daddy stealing some kisses
Charlotte found the heating pad that we used when we were sick and put it on her neck like she had seen us doing.
And this picture is from a few weeks ago. I went to a bridal shower for a friend of mine from high school, Brittany Hutchins, the soon-to-be Mrs. McCall. The shower was in Starke, and afterwards Charlotte and I met her Grammy and Grampy in the park. Grammy wanted a picture of her smelling the flowers. She didn't smell them so much as tear them to shreds. "He loves me. He loves me not. He loves me..."
Look at those big brown eyes!

Germs, Be Gone!
After a trip at the beginning of the week to the clinic at Walgreens (because although we've lived here for a year and a half, we don't yet have a primary care physician), some antibiotics, MucinexDM, and lots of Motrin later, Jared is finally on the upside... or is it downside?... he's on the side of getting better. He went back to work today, much to Charlotte's disappointment because she has had a great time with him spending so much time here. She continually amazes us with how much she is growing and changing. She has (finally) started to do some sign language. She's been doing "all done" for a while, but now she's doing "more" and "please". From the time she was about 6 months old, her pediatrician would ask me, "Are you teaching her any signs?" to which I would reply, "I'm not really consistent with it..." (while hanging my head in shame). So I'm thrilled that despite my lack of consistency, she is finally picking it up. She's gonna make it after all... [sung like the Mary Tyler Moore theme song].

Another Week's Review
It's closing in on one week since I last posted, but this post won't be nearly as long as the last review of a whole week.
We're all still sick around here. Charlotte has some congestion in her chest and is still coughing a little bit, but she doesn't seem to be bothered by it. Jared was feeling so bad that he stayed home from work on Monday and Tuesday, felt a little better yesterday and today, but said that if he doesn't feel any better in the morning he'll be skipping tomorrow as well. He loves his job, so for him to stay home, I know he doesn't feel well at all. He's asleep on the couch right now with four blankets on him. Poor guy. :( I haven't felt well since Saturday, but am now feeling much better than I was. I never before understood what my Mom meant when she said her "face hurt" from her sinuses. I now understand. Unfortunately.
I gave Jared a haircut for the first time on Saturday. Immediately after, he went up to the Hair Cuttery down the street to get it fixed. My bad...
On Sunday, we went to the memorial service for my stepmom, Bobbie's, mother. She had been sick for quite some time and it was an answer to prayer that she passed so she would no longer be in pain. The reason for everyone getting together was unfortunate, to say the least, but it was nice to see so much of the family, especially Aaron & Brittany and their twins, Benjamin and Micah. I hadn't seen them since Christmas of '07 so it was fun to see how much the boys have grown. We tried posing the babies for a picture and they surprised us and sat still for about a whole minute! Aren't they adorable?!
On Tuesday, Keystone Heights voted in two new councilmen, one of whom was Gavin! We're so excited for Gavin, but I know that our excitement cannot even compare to that of what the mayor must have (major sarcasm there). Gavin won the election by just three votes, so it goes to show that every vote does count! We heard Gavin share some stories of what he did to make sure people who promised him his vote got to the polls. To the lady with an infant in her arms: "I have women up there who can watch your baby for you!" :) When he is "President Rollins", I will be able to say that he is my brother-in-law and was my senior prom date!
Last night we were trying to get Charlotte to eat another bite of her soup, but she was refusing the soup and whining for a cracker instead. She started crying and making herself look all pitiful, which was cracking Jared and I up. She had the waterworks going, then looked at Jared and started pointing to him saying, "Da da da da da..." as if she were negotiating with him. When she realized that wasn't working, she told us she was "All done" using her baby sign language (quickly waving her hands in front of her). Then she used just one hand and put it up by her face, as if in a last effort to get out of having to take one more bite of that awful vegetable soup. Describing it may not convey how funny this was, but it was hilarious. Not the fact that she was being stubborn and strong-willed, but the tactics the little sinner tried to use were quite amusing.
So other than that, we've just been hanging out around the house, trying to get well, going a little insane without having television to watch. But Charlotte has been entertaining us quite well. We are constantly laughing and smiling at her in all of her cuteness. Today while I was scrubbing the toilet, I noticed that she was being rather quiet. I stepped out of the bathroom to see what she was doing, and I saw her sitting in the rocking chair in our bedroom, "talking" on the baby monitor like she would a phone. Then I just smiled and thanked God that I am able to stay home with her (and clean the toilets) and be there for all those sweet moments.
Look how cute she is in her little polo and khaki shorts!
"Hurry up with that Pedialyte, Daddy!"
This is what happens when you ask her Daddy to change the diaper...
Charlotte did some "organizing" by shoving a piece of paper into the spot where the external hard drive goes

G.K. Chesterton
Gilbert Keith Chesterton (1874–1936) was a British writer and leading conservative intellectual.
He is known for his fictional works such as the Father Brown stories, as well as for his non-fiction writings offering an intellectual defense of the Christian faith. Along with his friend Hilaire Belloc he is best known as an exponent of a British variety of conservatism known as distributism, which opposed both socialism and large-scale capitalism, and supported a decentralized economy of small property owners and small-scale entrepreneurs. He was a leader in the fight against socialism.
Chesterton was a long-time Anglican, but was convinced by Belloc to convert to Catholicism.
His most influential Christian books include Orthodoxy, and What's Wrong With the World, which criticize modernist trends such as feminism and uphold the traditional Christian faith.
Chesterton was well known for his philosophical debates with renowned contemporaries such as Clarence Darrow, Bertrand Russell, George Bernard Shaw, and H.G. Wells. Of Shaw, with whom Chesterton could be said to have had a friendly rivalry and battle of wits, Chesterton once said:
"After belabouring a great many people for a great many years for being unprogressive, Mr. Shaw has discovered, with characteristic sense, that it is very doubtful whether any existing human being with two legs can be progressive at all. Having come to doubt whether humanity can be combined with progress, most people, easily pleased, would have elected to abandon progress and remain with humanity. Mr. Shaw, not being easily pleased, decides to throw over humanity with all its limitations and go in for progress for its own sake. If man, as we know him, is incapable of the philosophy of progress, Mr. Shaw asks, not for a new kind of philosophy, but for a new kind of man. It is rather as if a nurse had tried a rather bitter food for some years on a baby, and on discovering that it was not suitable, should not throw away the food and ask for a new food, but throw the baby out of window, and ask for a new baby." - Heretics, G.K.C.
- "When men cease to believe in God, they will believe in anything."(Actually, G.K. Chesterton likely never said this, but the saying is often attributed to him)[1] See also: Atheism and gullibility
- "The one doctrine of Christianity which is empirically verifiable is the fallenness of man."[2]
- "A dead thing can go with the stream, but only a living thing can go against it."
- "Nothing is more common, for instance, than to find such a modem critic writing something like this: 'Christianity was above all a movement of ascetics, a rush into the desert, a refuge in the cloister, a renunciation of all life and happiness; and this was a part of a gloomy and inhuman reaction against nature itself, a hatred of the body, a horror of the material universe, a sort of universal suicide of the senses and even of the self. It came from an eastern fanaticism like that of the fakirs and was ultimately founded on an eastern pessimism, which seems to feel existence itself as an evil.' Now the most extraordinary thing about this is that it is all quite true; it is true in every, detail except that it happens to be attributed entirely to the wrong person. It is not true of the Church; but it is true of the heretics condemned by the Church."

Used 2018 Forest River RV Rockwood Mini Lite 2511SABSOLUTLEY LIKE NEW!!!!! SERIOUSLY!!!!
Forest River RV Rockwood Mini Lite travel trailer 2511S highlights:
- Private Bedroom
- Two Slide Outs
- Frameless Windows
Model 2511S has a front private bedroom which makes this unit the perfect couple's get-a-way! You could take a short trip or an extended stay, whether you choose a secluded place in the woods, a campground, or a place by the beach I am sure you will LOVE your vacation. The two slide outs provide plenty of walking about space in this unit and you have a few options instead of the dinette. You can add theatre seating or a sofa. You can enjoy a movie or show on the 32" TV in the living area when it is a bit cooler or cook outside on the gas grill on a beautiful day.
Rockwood takes pride in packing as much value in as little space as they can in this Mini Lite Series to make your investment into these models go a long way. They have quality vacuum bonded construction with their all steel I-beam's and six sided aluminum frames. They do not take shortcuts in any of their units. They are all built from the ground up. The underbelly increases aerodynamics, the Dexter Torflex axles are self-dampening and have independent wheel suspension, and the interior is all residential with solid kitchen countertops and Driftwood and Maple cabinets. Take a look at these Rockwood Mini Lite's today!
Love the SpaceLike most: The travel trailer is laid-out nicely with lots of room. Love the outdoor kitchen, too. - Anthony from NJ

As stated in the discussion on ethics it is reallly up to each person to determine what is right and wrong. I think you should stand up for what you believe is right even if it goes against the majority.
