A decision on whether to launch a ground invasion of Gaza has been put off by at least a day, after Israel decided Monday to give the Egyptians more time to try to broker a cease-fire with Hamas, a senior Israeli official said.

Tuesday’s talks in Cairo are expected to be decisive. The Israeli delegates to the talks, which are being led by Egyptian intelligence chief Gen. Raafat Shehata, plan to return there on Tuesday to present Israel’s response to demands being made by Hamas.

Senior Egyptian officials told Haaretz that the sides are very close, but that some more flexibility is needed from the Israeli side.

The forum of nine senior ministers convened late last night in Jerusalem to be briefed on the negotiations with Egypt.

Such a roller-coaster of a game would make any coach sound crazy in their postgame press conference. Luckily for us, it was Coach Miles who reminded us why he is the “Mad Hatter” and the “Most Interesting Coach in the World.”

And just like in those commercials, I’m sure you could make one for Coach Miles that would say, “I don’t always make the right call on fourth down, but when I do, I make sure to make something epic out of it.

“Stay crazy my friends.”

The empty shelves at grocery stores and ridiculously high selling prices on eBay tell you all you need to know – people want to get that last Twinkie before they’re gone forever.

Since Friday’s announcement that Twinkie maker Hostess Brands Inc. would close its doors after years of rising labor costs and the changing tastes of Americans, Myrtle Beach area residents have flooded supermarkets hoping for one last taste of the snack cake jokesters said would outlive humanity.

“We sold out early yesterday,” said Michael Byrd on Saturday. Byrd, operator of the Piggly Wiggly at The Market Common said it wasn’t just Twinkies. “Ding Dongs, same thing.”

Hello Everyone. I’ve been lurking here for years and just recently decided to join up. I’m hoping to get some help here.

I’m a huge fan of MDPV. Not the white hydrochloride – it’s inconceivable that anyone on the planet would willingly put that into their bodies — I’m talking the freebase form. I think many of you that don’t bother to freebase it yourself have at least tasted the freebase version when it was widely available as “tan mdpv”. I think it’s the finest drug evere conceived, not just for the indescribable hypersexuality, but also for the smooth euphoria and mild comedown.

My question is this: How can I more easilly separate the oil from the precipitate using some mechanical means?

Here’s the nightmarish process I’ve been going through so far:

First I precipitate and then place the container on a foot vibrator for 30 minutes to raise the first oil (the oil is heavier than water, by the way):

Antivirus pioneer John McAfee is on the run from murder charges, Belize police say. According to Marco Vidal, head of the national police force’s Gang Suppression Unit, McAfee is a prime suspect in the murder of American expatriate Gregory Faull, who was gunned down Saturday night at his home in San Pedro Town on the island of Ambergris Caye.

Details remain sketchy so far, but residents say that Faull was a well-liked builder who hailed originally from California. The two men had been at odds for some time. Last Wednesday, Faull filed a formal complaint against McAfee with the mayor’s office, asserting that McAfee had fired off guns and exhibited “roguish behavior.” Their final disagreement apparently involved dogs.

Early on Saturday in Far Rockaway, a coastal area of New York City devastated by the storm surge, more than 500 people lined up with empty fuel cans.
Word had spread Friday night that a tanker truck carrying 8,000 gallons of free gasoline was to arrive around 10am.
The fuel was delivered under the auspices of the Fuel Relief Fund and apparently funded by an anonymous donor.
‘The guy didn’t want his name used, but he wanted to get gas to these people,’ said a New York Police Department captain, who declined to give his name because he was not authorized to speak to the media. ‘Pretty decent thing to do,’ he said. ‘These people need it bad.’

The Bushes are very clever.

ATTENTION LIBERALS: Prepare to be ruled by George P. Bush, the hispanic version.

George P. Bush, a nephew of former President George W. Bush and son of one-time Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, has made a campaign filing in Texas that is required of candidates planning to run for state office, an official said Thursday night.

The younger Bush, a Fort Worth resident, filed a campaign treasurer appointment Wednesday, a requirement for someone to become a candidate under campaign finance law, Tim Sorrells, general counsel for the Texas Ethics Commission, told The Associated Press.

Sorrells said the report does not specify what office Bush might seek, if any, and he had no other details on the filing, which wasn’t available online. Bush did not immediately reply to an email seeking comment, and no phone listing for him could be found.
