Homecoming From Hell
Jon Marans' offbeat family drama "Jumping for Joy" opens at Laguna Playhouse.
One day during his junior year abroad in Vienna in 1978, Jon Marans told a professor of his intention to visit the concentration camp Dachau. Her response stunned him. "She said, 'Why do you want to go there for? It's just a bunch of dead Jews,'" recalls the Pulitzer-nominated playwright, whose "Jumping for Joy" opens Sept. 7 at Laguna Playhouse.
Previously, Marans, now 45, hadn't thought of himself as Jewish or non-Jewish. He had simply considered himself an American from a Maryland suburb where "we were all just one big, bland, homogenous group."
"But the anti-Semitism I encountered in Vienna was so blatant it was transforming," he says. "I began to realize that until we embrace our heritage and all of who we are, it's difficult to write about things that matter."
Since then, Marans has made a career of writing about characters who profoundly connect to or disconnect from their roots, families or work. He's one of the newer members of a cadre of playwrights in their 40s -- including Donald Margulies and Richard Greenberg -- who have won Pulitzer Prize nods for work exploring issues of Jewish identity and assimilation.
Marans' newest play, "Jumping for Joy," tells of an aloof Jewish attorney, estranged from his schizophrenic sister and paranoid father, who returns home during a family crisis. "The character of Michael is the kind of guy who shuts down when you talk about anything remotely personal," Marans says of his offbeat, often wickedly funny new drama. "But his family is the one place where he cannot remain disconnected. They're so in his face they just drag him into their world Michael both loves it and hates it at the same time."
Michael's father, Samuel, doesn't just shut out people -- he shuts out the entire world. His daughter wryly reflects that when Samuel dies, "We will always have the map chronicling which countries have been unkind to Israel."
Marans' his first produced play, "Old Wicked Songs," a finalist for the 1996 Pulitzer, revolves around a self-denying Jew, a burned-out piano prodigy who travels to Vienna to jump-start his creative juices but locks horns with his professor, a Holocaust survivor.
"Old Wicked Songs" came about during a time when the author, like his "Songs" prodigy, was battling creative burnout. After writing the book for a musical that was supposed to go to Broadway but was instead canned in 1990, the distraught author and lyricist retreated to a Vermont writers' colony.
"Everything seemed to have fallen apart, so I thought, 'To hell with it. I'm just going to write whatever I want regardless of the chances for commercial success,'" he says. Within three weeks he had a draft of "Songs," which among other seemingly noncommercial devices featured characters singing Schumann's "Dichterliebe" in German. "I thought, 'No one in their right mind is going to produce this play," says Marans, who was shocked when the piece opened off-Broadway and went on to more than 100 theaters around the world.
Then came an even bigger surprise: the Pulitzer nomination.
"It became a little daunting," he recalls. "Suddenly, there was pressure to write another piece that mattered. That's why it took so long for me to [finish] my new play."
"Jumping for Joy" -- partly inspired by Maran's interest in Asperger's syndrome -- is another riff on how people engage and disengage.
"It's like having this weird disconnect," he says of the condition that is similar to autism. "You see it in people who are incredibly focused but slightly detached from life."
The Playhouse's Richard Stein, who directed an acclaimed production of "Songs" in 1999, was eager to direct the world premiere of "Joy."
"From the first read I knew it was a brilliant play," he told The Journal. "One of the things that marks Jon as a unique writer is his ability to delve deeply into his characters and to fully explore the relationships between them."
During rehearsals, Marans says he's emphasized "the general twinkle all three of the characters have when they come together. The initial tendency for actors is to mime the darker side of what's going on. But it's important the piece doesn't come off in a way that negates the joy these people have in being together."
"Jumping for Joy" runs Sept. 7-Oct. 6. For tickets or more information, call (949) 497-2787.

Microsoft Corp. believes that thanks to affordability of components going forward, the price of all electronic devices in general and smartphones running Windows Phone operating system in particular will get dramatically lower. In particular, Microsoft believes that eventually companies like Nokia will be able to address mainstream market of handsets with WP-powered smartphones.
"If you look even at the price of smartphones, a year ago all smartphones cost over $400 when they left their hardware manufacturer. Today, they're down to about $200, and next year, a smartphone that can run something like Windows Phone 7 will actually be down to $100 to $150," said Andrew Lees, the president of Windows Phone division at Microsoft, during the worldwide partner conference.

Microsoft recently admitted that its smartphone market share did not increase with the launch of Windows Phone 7 operating system late last year and even declined to comment how many WP7-powered devices had been sold. Independent analysts believe that the Windows Phone platform commands from 2% to 3.8% of the smarphone market at present. Therefore, it is not a surprise that Microsoft needs to work hard not only on improving the Windows Phone itself, but to a lot more to attract customers and partners among operators and hardware makers.
"What we want to do [with operators] is provide the largest geo-footprint that we can. We are going to more than double the size of the market that we have in Windows Phone "Mango". We significantly increased the number of countries, and we will lower the price of the phones by half, increasing the total addressable market very, very dramatically," added Mr. Lees.
Last year the software giant imposed strict guidelines for smartphones powered by Windows Phone 7 operating systems. Manufacturers have to install certain processors, certain amount of memory and flash as well as use screens with no less than 480*800 resolution. As a result of such demands from Microsoft, there are no truly affordable Windows Phone 7-based handsets at the moment.
This year the company plans to finally let manufacturers release Windows Phone-based smartphones in different form-factors, including those with QWERTY keyboards. Among the manufacturers that plan to launch their Windows Phone "Mango"-based smartphones this fall are Acer, Fujitsu, HTC, Samsung, ZTE and, perhaps, Nokia, if the latter and Microsoft are lucky enough.
"There will be a whole new range of phones that are available this fall around "Mango" at different price points, with different features, particularly from the partners that we have already been working with, Samsung, HTC, and LG. [...] OEMs are continuing to line up behind Windows Phone. We recently announced that Acer, Fujitsu, and ZTE are providing Windows Phones this fall. They will, again, fill out different countries, different form factors, and different price points.," said Mr. Lees.

Electric Snow Thrower
Most Popular
best buy for the money Review by Robert
Two years ago I Purchased the Tornado Electric corded snow blower from you and I am still amazed by how well it works for these last two winters here in northern Ohio that little baby purrs like a kitten and bites into the snow like a tiger it has more than paid for itself. I love this little machine my neighbors have large gasoline snow blowers and I can be done with my driveway before they get theirs even started.
Gasoline Snow blowers are much more expensive and need expensive gas and upkeep, for what they paid for theirs and the fuel and work of maintaining them I could have a whole garage full of these little babies all ready to go as long as there is electric ( Outside Receptacle by my Garage )to my house.
When I ordered the little Tornado I walked off my drive and seen I could get by with a fifty foot extension cord ( driveways on this street are all about the same length), So it works quite well for this size drive.
It was a wonderful buy. I have bought many other items from you as a guest (never registered until now, but I just wanted to write a review on this wonderful little snow blower.
Thanks Heartland for a really Great Deal. (Posted on 2/22/2015)

When I am logged in and about to post a comment, I am told I'm logged in as "Admin". "Admin" is highlighted as a link directing me to the wordpress profile page. I want to change this to the Simple:Press profile page.
I've tried search and replace in edit mode in all of the PHP thingies and in the CSS stylesheet. I can't seem to find anything that resembles "loggin in as" or "profile.php" or "Wp-admin".

As it has been said many times about the Midwest, "If you don't like the weather, wait a minute and it will change."
This is the time of year when leaves come raining down from all the deciduous trees and shrubs, since it is the end of the growing cycle for most of these plants.
Spring Green lawn care offers a solution to the time-consuming chore of raking leaves.
A satellite image showing peculiar hexagonal clouds over the ocean area known as the Bermuda Triangle is prompting speculation about whether they may represent a recurring phenomenon responsible for decades of unexplained disappearances in the region.
Atmospheric oxygen levels have declined over the past 1 million years, although not nearly enough to trigger any major problems for life on Earth, a new study finds.
When the world's longest lightning bolt struck over Oklahoma in 2007, it traveled about three-quarters of the length of the state, according to the World Meteorological Organization.
Scientists recently traveled thousands of miles below the ocean's surface to explore underwater mountain ranges.
Death by lightning strike may seem rare, but lightning has killed nearly three times as many people this year as tornadoes have, the National Weather Service (NWS) reports.

FirstEnergy is deploying its smart grid project in the central region of its Jersey Central Power & Light operating company. It is an Integrated Distributed Energy Resource (IDER) management smart grid project and will deliver operational and mar-ket program benefits by managing distributed energy resources (DER). Its focus is demand management with distributed re-sources and includes 23 MW of direct load control (DLC) equipment at 10,000 residential and approximately 100 commercial and industrial customer locations.
The project will give the utility the ability to monitor and control non-critical customer electrical loads at a granular level via two-way com-munications architecture. The IDER architecture provides monitoring and control through an Integrated Control Platform (ICP) which monitors the local distribution circuits for system reliabil-ity while also monitoring for wholesale energy market opportunities. The ICP can aggregate multiple DER for optimal wide area management.
This smart grid project is designed to provide utility operations with real-time system status based on pre-defined utility operational rules with management through the ICP. Other DER technologies, including electricity storage, permanent peak load shift devices in the form of ice storage as well as distribution line sensors, substation meter/monitors and photovoltaics are being added to the system to maximize the lessons of this smart grid project.

Dusty the cat, of San Mateo, California, has developed a rather odd habit. It seems the kitty suffers from a bit of kleptomania. He has stolen over 600 items, including stuffed animals, towels, sponges, sports equipment and even a brassiere, from people living in his neighborhood, according to The San Francisco Chronicle.
Pet health experts are baffled by this bizarre cat behavior. "It's extreme, but it's absolutely adorable," Marilyn Krieger, a cat behavior consultant in Redwood City, California, told the news source.
The cat, who was adopted from an animal shelter, began this strange habit about four years ago. At first Dusty only gathered things from his pet parents' home. But soon he began to venture out into the neighborhood, pilfering from homes nearby.
The cat has become somewhat of a celebrity, and was featured in People magazine, as well as made appearances on David Letterman and Animal Planet. His nighttime kleptomania has been captured on YouTube, and his videos have become quite popular.
According to Time Magazine, despite the fact that they have lost a few items, most of the neighbors who have fallen victim to this adorable thief don't mind too much.

A Michigan farmer has noticed that his new wildflower patches are humming with bees and other pollinators.of Agriculture (USDA) now partners with the Xerces Society and other conservation groups to get the message out to farmers and help them with the technical issues of how to grow beneficial insects, and how to get paid for doing it. USDA also recently added a pollinator component to the farmland set-asides it pays for through its Conservation Reserve Program. Similar programs are also under way as part of the European Union's "agri-environment" schemes, Australia's Landcare program, and the United Nations International Pollinator Initiative.
Monarch butterflies have lost 167 million acres of habitat across North America since 1996.shrubland — an area larger than Indiana — which used to produce beneficial insects naturally.
Simply paying a farmer to produce pollinators doesn't really engage him in conservation.California's Central Valley, where large-scale intensive farming means there may be a crop flowering nearby one week, but no flowers for five miles in any direction two weeks later. So bumblebees and other native pollinators are scarce there. A practical solution might be to organize plantings of conventional crops in smaller contiguous zones, so that something is flowering nearby nonstop from spring through fall. But that would require adjusting the conventional pesticide regimen and rethinking a food distribution system that's now geared to monoculture farming. And those kinds of changes are likely only if farmers see that profits depend on it.

Case Of Rabies Found In Bat In Medford
Oregon health officials confirm that a bat found flying around in a Medford home tested positive for rabies Friday afternoon. This is the first bat to test positive for rabies in 2012. Last year, 11 bats (two in Jackson County), five foxes and one coyote tested positive for rabies in the state.
Dr. Emilio DeBess is public health veterinarian with Oregon Health Authority, and he reminds the public to never handles bat, and make sure your pets are up to date on their rabies vaccinations.Rabies symptoms in wildlife include lethargy, walking in circles, loss of coordination, convulsions, irritability or aggressiveness, disorientation, excessive drooling, and showing no fear of humans.
Health officials say rabies is typically passed on to other animals by rabid bats. Very few bats have rabies, and rabies is even more rare in other animals. If you know your pet has encountered another animals with rabies, please contact your veterinarian immediately.

40nm came out on.. what, Apr 2009! (with the HD4770) so two and a bit years later they move onto 28nm. Here's hoping the move brings with it some serious performance!
Advanced Micro Devices confirmed on Tuesday at its AMD Fusion Development Summit (AFDS) that it would release a new breed of graphics processing units (GPUs) later this year. Apparently, AMD's code-named Southern Island graphics processing units are on-track to be launched in 2011.
"In a couple of days you are going to hear about our exciting new graphics architecture that will be coming out later this year and will be utilized by our future APUs," said Rick Bergman, senior vice president and general manager of AMD products group.
During his keynote at the AFDS, Eric Demers, AMD corporate vice president and chief technology officer at graphics division of the company, will recap the evolution of GPUs in the recent years, including the latest VLIW5 and VLIW4 core architectures and instruction sets. But more importantly Mr. Demers will present an overview of the next generation of AMD cores under development, which will propel forward new capabilities and continue the GPU evolution.
While it is not completely clear what kind of peculiarities of next-generation graphics processors will be revealed at the summit, it is highly likely that going forward both AMD and its arch-rival Nvidia will attempt to make GPUs more programmable and better suitable not only for graphics processing, but also for complex computing.
Later during this year AMD is projected to release its first graphics processing units made using 28nm process technology code-named Southern Islands. The SI family is projected to support DirectX 11 functionality along with architectural improvements and some new features. Theoretically, the company may start revealing architectural peculiarities about the chips behind closed doors in order to let software designers to prepare their software for new chips.

I pulled out some wild strawberry herbal for this evening. I am trying to get my hubby to drink more tea but for him it is just "ok". I had some chocolate cherry earlier today, but it has been a busy day away from the house so I haven't had time to have much.
As for today's poll, I started drinking tea a long time ago but it was a huge hassle at work without any way to get rid of the tea leaves and bagged teas never tasted all that great to me. I stopped for a while and then I decided one day to pick up some RoT Moroccan mint and then it started all over again and hasn't stopped. It has gotten easier now that we have a sink and garbage disposal at work instead of having to dump leaves into the waste basket or toilet.

Rickey Gates on Trail Running, Traveling and Living the Dream - Page 3
You wrote in your blog that you thought you could win the NFEC50, but then your legs told you otherwise and you faded in the second half. Later, you blamed the performance on "wanting it too much." What did you learn from the experience?
My mistake with the NFEC50 was ignoring all the training that I had already done earlier in the year. … Other racers might disagree with me, but by the time December rolls around, you've either put in the work or you haven't. I erred on the side of too much training, and, by the time the race rolled around, I was completely spent.
How do you know when and how much to rest, and what about the training benefits of running on tired legs?
Tired legs are good at the beginning of the season. Tired legs at the end of the season mean something different. ... I am not a coach. I'd be an awful coach. My one-and-only suggestion is that people listen to their bodies. I obviously don't have it figured out completely. That's part of the fun: experimenting, sometimes failing, sometimes succeeding.
Last year, you paced two phenomenal 100-mile champions, Kilian Jornet at Western States and Julien Chorier at Hardrock. What did you learn from being on the course with them, and did it make you want to be in their shoes—that is, did it make you want to run and win those marquee 100s?
I didn't learn all that much from Kilian or Julien, other than that they are incredibly strong human beings. Running an ultra is such an experiential thing, not something that translates all that well over to somebody that hasn't run one before. I wouldn't say that I wanted to be in their shoes at any one point, but would love to have had the experience. I don't know quite what the difference is there.
Last summer, after winning the Mount Washington a second time, you were battling a calf injury. Has it flared up, and are you presently managing any other injuries?
The calf injury hasn't been back. I've been dealing with a hamstring issue for quite some time. It's very frustrating but is teaching me some new things: relax, be patient, etc. Because of my hamstring, my training has been minimal: light miles, some bike.
Do you do any PT or cross training to help your hamstrings specifically or to help prevent injury generally?
When people are getting into running, it is essential to include the entire package: stretching, massage and strengthening. This video by Boulder coach Jay Johnson is a great five-minute daily strengthening routine. Perform these three things and you're guaranteed to enjoy running more and keep at it longer.
What has been your favorite international destination for running and why?
I can't say that I have a favorite running destination. Every place has its own charm. The South Pole on the Antarctic Plateau is one of the most incredible places in the world, though it is entirely flat, tree-less, cold, windy. It puts you in a different place mentally. There's a wonderful community at the South Pole—lots of books to read, lots of activities going on, bands to play in, art to make, games to play. It's easier living than most would think.

Capital Project Cost Control
by Morley Selver
Project cost control is a very important topic — even more important when the project budgets can often stretch into the hundreds of millions (even billions) of dollars and small mistakes can get magnified into huge problems. This DVD is a live recording of a webinar by Morley Selver, known as "The Project Doctor," who has over 30 years of real-world plant project engineering experience.
Selver has donated all author royalties from the sale of this DVD to the PMAC.

Latest Hairstyles
Medium-Length Blonde Hair Tied Back with Volumized Crown
This medium-ash blonde hair is by turns severe and volatile. Hair is gathered neatly into the back of the head, except for the portion on top. Here, the hair is brushed out, then styled into a flap overhanging the forehead and the right eye. Great volume is then created by back-combing the pulled-out hair, but without destroying the natural line of the wave. Height is also achieved with a profusion of cotton-candy swirls.

I don't see much chance to avoid being blown out in this one. First, it's the second night of a back-to-back on the road, with the Lakers having two days off. Second, the Cavs don't have the size or muscle up front to counter Bynum and Gasol. The Lakers will pound it into the post all night. The Cavs couldn't control Love, Aldridge or Jefferson, so I don't see any chance of neutralizing Bynum and Gasol.
The Lakers are only hitting 24% of their 3-point shots, so the Cavs need to drop down and double the Lakers' big men and take their chances on the 3-pointers. They also need to double down when Derek Fisher has the ball, as he's only hitting 34% from the field.
The Lakers are only scoring 95 ppg but their opponents are averaging less than 90 ppg, so they're getting it done with defense, rebounding, and Kobe. I don't think the Cavs will have much success taking it to the hole against these guys.
The Lakers are huge and their starting lineup averages 11 years in the NBA. They have some injuries to their bench, but as long as their big three are healthy the Cavs should present few problems. I don't see them beating the Cavs by 55 points like they did at this time last year, but I'll be surprised if this one is ever in doubt.

NASCAR CootiesPosted Thursday, October 11, 2007, at 1:23 PM
There was just no way I could pass this one up without sharing it with you all.
Apparently, House Homeland Security Committee staffers are on a peculiar mission to study "public health issues at events involving mass gatherings."
Specifically, Nascar races. Before attending the event, these staffers were urged to be vaccinated for hepatitis A, hepatitis B, diphtheria, influenza and tetanus.
According to the story linked above, two Republican staffers turned down the vaccinations but one Democrat staffer did receive the immunizations before the most recent race at Talladega.
At least one North Carolina legislator is rather upset about this.
Health issues at mass gatherings is an interesting subject that should be studied, but this might be going a bit too far.
Regardless, the whole stereotypical view of the Nascar redneck does crack me up. When you send one of these big city yuppies down south they don't know how to handle.
Several years ago I met a girl in St. Louis and when I told her where I was from she started asking me these stupid questions like "Do you have paved roads down there?" and "What's it like to ride a bull?"
Apparently there are people who believe we all just drink beer, ride bulls and have confederate flags tattooed on our foreheads.
I thought you guys could use a good laugh, too.

Well?? Are the roads paved??? Where is your Bull???

Dude-I love this story! Immunizations or NASCAR tickets/beer? If you can afford one or the other,I guess you'll have to take your chance with cooties,the sweat,alcohol,and high fat/salty food should kill something.
I like your blog,you are a good writer.
(I am practicing not using IM shorthand,because it has got the old people upset-lol-oops-laugh out loud)
-- Posted by CharlesSmith01 on Fri, Oct 12, 2007, at 8:13 AM
Are our roads paved? Well, not all of them. I know for a fact that not all of them are paved up around St. Louis either. She must not get out of the metropolitan area very much.
I met a gentleman (I'll give him the benefit of the doubt) from Iowa who was shocked that some of our country roads are gravel. According to him - all the roads are paved in Iowa. Hahahahahahaha. Idiot.
How stupid for a legislator to think that NASCAR races require immunizations any more than does say, a night at the opera?. Do they not have a clue? Answer - "No."

Corey Noles' response:For what it's worth, I lived in Oklahoma for a short stint and one of the things (and there were many) that I thought was really strange is how all of the county roads are paved. In four months I don't think I saw gravel one time. I'm not sure why and I imagine they do have some, but it wasn't many.
The other strange thing was I had a neighbor who walked his sheep every morning. Just like a dog, it had a leash and everything.
Very peculiar state.
Speaking of things that irritate the "old folks," what is "IM Shorthand"?
-- Posted by goat lady on Fri, Oct 12, 2007, at 5:17 PM
IM is Instant Messaging or Instant Messenger,depending on what context you are using.An instant messenger allows you to send a short message almost instantly to someone,if they have also signed up for it.IM shorthand is the way we type on the net or text message or reply on blogs.
You're becomes ur,you is u, I is i,too or two or to is all 2,besides is b/s b/cause it's the fastest way 2 type and usually we are talking to several different people at the same time.
Older People refers to anyone who thinks this is outrageous,they are any generation that didn't grow up with pc's(personal computers and/or the internet)and they also imply the users of IM are stupid and uneducated,instead of turning the mirror back on themselves to say,"Gee,I've turned into the mean cranky old person I disliked when I was young!"
I'm sure there are things that these people did that made the old folks in their day upset,the sad thing is that when they start flaming(snotty,mean PERSONAL attacks on a specific poster they disagree with) they start a flame war(several posters jump in to verbally fight with other posters) and it starts to go south quick.I have my opinions and they are mine and mine alone,so agree or disagree-it's all okay. I try not to start personal conversation like "I've seen Corey secretly wearing Cleveland Indians gear"and it may be true,but it wasn't necessary to post and probably upset Corey for no reason.
I don't mind being corrected,or even challenged,but there is a nice way to talk to anyone on the internet,at church,or in line at Wal-Mart.
Someday I'll be irritated with young people,I hope I don't let my comments get nasty,instead I hope I'm still curious enough to learn something new.
You do get that many posters probably have few friends in real life,because all their postings are snotty,not funny,just mean,and they can't post without trying to correct others.If you correct others grammar or punctuation,make sure your postings are perfect or it is sop(standard operating procedure) to correct that person harshly. I don't pretend to know much of anything,some of the other posters,really think they do know everything. Since IM shorthand upsets old people so much,I am trying to be respectful and not use it.
Also,many posters probably live in different states,not locally,so you never really can be sure if it's your neighbor or not,and as rude as some are,be glad they're not.

Thanks for the techo update! Even an old English teacher would agree that bad manners are worse than bad grammar!
-- Posted by goat lady on Sat, Oct 13, 2007, at 9:22 AM
CS101, there is a small and not very influential movement to simplify english writing by making spelling phonetic. The popularity of text messaging and IMing may finally do what that small band of lonely people wailing in the wilderness have failed to do. To a degree, I have to say "hallelujah" to that!
English seems unnecessarily complicated and rule based -- e.g., when to use to, too, two or 2. I admit, I still don't know when the number 2 should be used or spelled out as two! But there is some authoritarian rule enforcer somewhere who does!
I still have to look up the spelling of words in the dictionary that I speak -- because I've forgotten how to spell them. That is just plain ridiculous. But if you don't spell correctly you are considered a second-cousin to a Neanderthal -- and illiterate to boot!
What I can see developing from text messaging/IMing is a dual system of English spelling. A "Low" English based on phonetic spelling for everyday use by the proles and real people -- and a "High" English for the snooty Ivory Tower crowd that is obsessed with feeling superior by enforcing the current rule based insanity.
So even though I don't know all the IMing shorthand, as far as I'm concerned CS101, you can use it to your hearts content and I won't hold it against you.
BTW, CS101, has anyone tried putting out a publication using nothing but IMing shorthand? Humm... Let's see... Newspapers are losing circulation in part because not enough young people are reading them. So an idea is The Daily Statesman could try printing a section of the paper in nothing but IMing lingo to for all the young hipsters. Might get the paper some national coverage as being on the leading edge of a new wave? Actually, I think I'd like to see how that would look.
I wonder what Goat Lady, our esteemed English teacher, thinks of that idea!?
-- Posted by FJGuy on Sat, Oct 13, 2007, at 2:08 PM
Dude-great idea.
I think she'd be cool with it-read her postings,she's a nice person all around.I hope when I'm older I still like to learn new things like her.
"Good manners are more important than good grammar" so true-bad grammar never hurt anyone's feelings.
-- Posted by CharlesSmith01 on Sat, Oct 13, 2007, at 6:15 PM
This sure was handled wrong. If you are working for Homeland Security you should be required to be full immunized at all times. If these people are going to be evaluating areas where they want to see if there is a possible chance of a health hazard, why wouldn't that have been an employment requirement when you first hire on, exactly like the military or health professionals in other fields.
-- Posted by I.B. Le Truth on Sun, Oct 14, 2007, at 9:32 AM
Love the way we balance several topics at the same time!
I'm not opposed to two separate levels of English; in fact, we already have several levels for different segments of society and occasions. I haven't heard the word "ebonics" in a long time, but it was one level. Then there's colloquial English, typical of different regions of the country. I love the regional variations of English and would never abolish them!
However, Standard English is not just a language for the "snooty Ivory Tower" crowd. If you have no standard, your language can become hopeless corrupted, so that it no longer even resembles anything which ANY of us can understand.
You bloggers are so sharp: I just love to hear your ideas!
Keep up the good work, Corey! You always manage to come through with some good stuff which attracts thought-provoking opinions from both old and young!

If it's just the stereotype redneck that loves NASCAR, I've got some of that flowing in my veins then! Born in Anaheim, CA..... love the roar of the horsepower and partying with 100,000 of my closest friends!
BTW, I've also ridden bulls and spent many a year down an old gravel road!
-- Posted by greer958 on Mon, Oct 15, 2007, at 5:08 PM
The comment on paved roads made me think of a family friend who is Irish and lived here a few years ago. She was often asked the dumbest questions,just as you were.
One time we were at a local eatery and our waitress actually asked her,"Do you have indoor plumbing in your village?"
My friend didn't miss a beat and answered,"Every other house dear".
We are no better than city slickers as she was asked a lot of questions from Irish Spring soap to leprechauns,and she would just laugh it off.
(Her folks were college professors and she landed in semo by marriage,and I really felt like a bumpkin when we visited her a few years ago in Ireland-what a pretty country).

Corey Noles' response:HAHA! The girl who asked me what it was like to ride a bull I had a lot of fun with. Some people are just so dumb you can't help, but to enjoy it. I told her, "the first time was pretty scary, but after that you get used to it." Of course I've never been on a (non-mechanical) bull in my life, nor do I have any intention of ever doing it. However, my two experiences with the mechanical beast each left me injured.
It's kind of like my friends theory on skydivers. There's just something wrong with purposely jumping out of a perfectly good airplane. So, I figure if I can walk fine now, why would I get on a bull where chances are good I will never walk right again?
yeah i use the im stuff too lol sorry about that guys if you think about the letters tho lol (laugh out lord) or omg (oh my gosh) or ttyl (talk too you later)there not too hard too figure out ttfn (ta ta for now) Ha this is fun!! Very amuzing keep them guessing i say..It's really not that hard....

oops i think i did it again off topic oh well i know it was in there at some point..
-- Posted by lynn1979 on Thu, Oct 18, 2007, at 9:59 PM
We never said it was HARD: I think we said it was IRRITATING!
-- Posted by goat lady on Sat, Oct 20, 2007, at 3:48 PM
Wow, after reading all that, I kinda forgot what the topic was...lol...oh yeah, it was being a redneck! I have a best friend who enlisted in the Navy...she is from right here in dear old Dexter, but you couldn't tell. I don't have much of an accent, I correct my boys on a daily basis if their grammer is incorrect, but the way she talks now is unbelievable! Sometimes, I can't even understand her...when I know she spoke in a way I could understand 7 years ago. I don't see anything wrong w/ it, but my husband and dad do. (And I would like to add that my husband moved here from New York several years ago...back then I couldn't understand him either, but now he sounds like Jeff Foxworthy!) I hope when I reach an older age, I am up for new things and words and fads. I empathize w/ the older generation now w/ all these new words and sayings and what not, so I just hope I can keep up w/ it all and not just look down on it.
-- Posted by mrsdolphin on Thu, Oct 25, 2007, at 8:46 AM
I've been a bunch of places including Iowa and Oklahoma they have paved roads and non paved. From what I can tell they are just like any other place it just depends on how much influence the people that use that road have.
And a sheep for a pet I saw that once too. I was returning home from Texas and at a rest stop in Arkansas I stopped and witnessed a guy in the bed of a pickup having his way with a sheep. I ask him, "What the #@$^% are you doing." He said, "Whats it look like I'm doing? What do you think sheep are for?" So I replied, "In Missouri we shear sheep!" To that he replied, "Hey buddy, I'm not shearing my sheep with nobody."

Oh yeah...I like this photoshoot, they look sexyReplyDelete
No offence to anybody,but seriously i think 'On the Road' would have received only half the attention it has, if Kristen had not acted in it.ReplyDelete
I agree and I don't like this photoshoot,honestly why didn't Rob and Kristen have such photoshoot for BD1 or BD2?I remember only Harpers Bazzar cover photoshoot for New Moon and this was their only sexy photoshoot together.Delete
Yes, I agree, the same goes for Twilight too.Delete
I have never seen these pics. Kristen is beautiful as always. Thanks Ingi.ReplyDelete
She is magnificent!ReplyDelete
Didn't notice before (and I have the magazine), she has 2 Cartier nail bracelet in this photoshoot! :)
I noticed that too!Delete
That was the first time she wore it. I guess she liked it so much that she wanted her own one.Delete
I miss her so much, I feel miserable and sick, I need to see her.ReplyDelete

It's my favourite non-twilight photoshoot ever. I was so lucky to get one issue here in Germany. And I was even luckier that KRISTEN SIGNED IT for me at the SWATH fan event here in Berlin last spring.ReplyDelete

Topic: problems using acts_as_tree and HABTM together
I've started builing just looked at acts_as_tree for a category tree structure for browse the store. I managed to successfully create a collapsable menu using this which is all good. Now to link products to categories using the HABTM relationship.
This is where I have come unstuck, what should be seemingly easy has 'I think' been complicated by acts_as_tree since I want to view the products in a particular category but no matter what category id I do a find on products for I end up with a full list of products for that category and all others. I imagine that when for products for a particular category the query then recurses the category tree, up and down and returns all products. How annoying?
Has anyone else seen this and offer any suggestions as how to acheive what I want to do? I guess ideally there would be a way of limiting the depth of the recursion.

On his first visit to China as Secretary of State on April 13-14, 2013, John Kerry met with the top echelon of China's new leadership. During his 24-hour visit, the Secretary conferred with President Xi Jinping, Premier Li Keqiang, State Councilor Yang Jiechi, and Foreign Minister Wang Yi. At the top of the bilateral agenda was the subject of North Korea, and the two sides underscored their commitment to the peaceful denuclearization of the Korean peninsula. Both sides also articulated a vision of how a stronger economic partnership between the two most powerful economies in the world can play a key role in global economic security.
An important focus of the visit was cooperation on energy and climate change. The United States and China issued a joint statement on climate change and agreed to make the issue a part of the next, fifth, session of the Strategic and Economic Dialogue. The Secretary addressed the interlocked issues of energy and the environment during an energy cooperation event featuring representatives of energy corporations, technology companies, and environmental non-governmental organizations. While touring exhibits of new energy technologies, the Secretary remarked that the technologies on display represent the "groundbreaking thinking" that will help meet 21st-century energy challenges.
The visit did not lack for picturesque backdrops: from the imposing Great Hall of the People, where the Secretary met President Xi, and the beautifully landscaped Diaoyutai State Guesthouse compound to the former imperial Beihai Park, where the Secretary and his party enjoyed an impromptu walk.
The Secretary kindly took time out of this busy schedule to visit with U.S. Embassy staff and their families. Noting that the work they do pays real dividends for the American economy, he congratulated the embassy for its efforts promoting travel and trade between the United States and China. Highlighting the special challenges of diplomatic work, he told embassy staff, "Every day that we get up, we get to go out and try to change the world."

Remains of soldier killed in '53 ID'd, will be buried in Malone
MALONE (AP) – Lawrence Jock's surviving relatives in northern New York knew next to nothing about the Army combat veteran who was declared missing in action at the end of the Korean War more than 60 years ago.
Now that his remains have been identified and will be brought back to the North Country for burial, his relatives have learned that he was decorated veteran of World War II who enlisted before America entered the conflict in December 1941.
"He was a patriot even before the Japanese attacked us. That was something I could tell the family," said 1st Sgt. Ronald Spanton of the New York Army National Guard.
Spanton, a casualty assistance officer in northern New York, researched Jock's military background after his remain were identified on June 25, the 64th anniversary of the start of the Korean War. He learned that Jock joined the service in the 1930s, served as an infantryman in Europe with the 100th Infantry Division during WWII and was awarded a Purple Heart and a Bronze Star for Valor. Jock also served with U.S. occupation forces in Japan.
The Pentagon said this week that Jock, of Fort Covington, was identified by scientists at the Joint POW/MIA Accounting Command in Hawaii using forensic technology, including DNA samples provided by his family.
The 37-year-old master sergeant was serving as a forward observer with a field artillery battery in the 8th Army when his position was attacked on July 15, 1953, by Chinese forces in Kangwon Province, North Korea. A day after the battle, Jock was listed as MIA, and a year later, he was declared dead. Military official said his remains were among those of 350 to 400 U.S. servicemen turned over by North Korea between 1991 and 1994.
Spanton said a plane carrying Jock's casket is scheduled to arrive at the Albany airport on Wednesday. A hearse will transport his remains to Malone, where calling hours will be held the following day at Spaulding Funeral Home. He will be buried afterward with full military honors in St. John Bosco Cemetery.
The only living relative with a memory of Jock is his niece, now 78, who recalls him coming to her mother's house to say goodbye before going to Korea. Spanton said the woman doesn't wish to speak to the media about her uncle's homecoming.

PHILADELPHIA -- Chip Kelly orchestrated another of his efficient practices Saturday, with a fast tempo, maximum repetitions and teaching breaks in between.
Then the new Philadelphia Eagles coach tap-danced.
Kelly won't name Michael Vick (or Nick Foles, for that matter) as his starting quarterback yet, even though Vick took the bulk of the first-team reps during an open-house practice attended by an estimated 20,000 fans at Lincoln Financial Field -- and even though Vick was spectacular in the first two preseason games.
And even though, by the way, Vick is a better fit than Foles for the read-option twists that helped Kelly's offense flourish at Oregon.
"I'd love to name a starting quarterback right now," Kelly said during a post-practice news conference.
CHARGERS: Wide receiver has bruised lung
Why not? Nobody's stopping Kelly from making the call.
He wants to see how his quarterbacks react to more situations.
More data. Hasn't he seen enough? The third preseason game -- which Kelly admits, and this is part of his fresh appeal as an NFL newcomer, means little because he's not beholden to NFL traditions -- is less than a week away.
"We're going through the process," he said. "We've got a little bit of time here."
The way I see it, Kelly might also be taking his time to keep the heat turned up on Vick, who has responded well to the threat of being beaten out by Foles.
Maybe Kelly likes the edge that a quarterback competition adds to the training camp environment. If the leader of the team has to sweat it out, what does that say for the third-string cornerback?
"I don't think of it that way," Kelly said. "That's just what the situation is."
BILLS: QB sideline for preseason
Although Vick has completed 86.7% of his passes in preseason and has a 113.2 passer rating (Foles: 65.5), Kelly maintains that there are still many variables to weigh. Leadership. Play selection. Ability to bounce back from adversity. Ability to stand strong against a pass rush. And so on.
Another variable: Vick, who was quick to exhibit leadership during the racially charged Riley Cooper crisis, is super-mellow about Kelly's reluctance to name him the starter.
Would Vick be shocked if he did not win the starting job?
"I wouldn't be shocked," Vick told USA TODAY Sports. "Even if I weren't named the starter, I'm still going to help this team out and I'd just have to look forward to my future. At the same time, I'd understand that this is the team I'm on and my name may be called at some point."
Say what? I know I'd be shocked if Vick isn't the starter.
That he's politically correct in publicly expressing himself -- when you suspect that deep down inside the competitor wanted it settled way before now -- says something about 33-year-old Vick's maturity.
Judy Smith, the crisis manager who helped Vick re-arrange his life after leaving prison following the dogfighting-related conviction, would be so proud.
In any event, Kelly has had to find out exactly what he's dealing with in Vick.
FALCONS: Ryan, Jackson build bond
Shortly after Kelly was hired, former Dallas Cowboys coach Jimmy Johnson told me that he wouldn't count out Vick because he still possesses the rare talent -- rocket arm, super-fast legs -- that cannot be taught.
The challenge for coaches is always to tap the talent so that it works. And maybe that's where Vick is headed with Kelly.
Kelly mentioned how he's been impressed with Foles' ability to bounce back from adversity; the same could be said of Vick.
Before Saturday, the last time I saw Vick was in late December, when he figured his run in Philadelphia was over and was prepared to play his final home game at The Linc.
A lot of others shared that sentiment, which went hand-in-hand with Andy Reid's imminent departure.
Vick was a goner. Or so we thought.
He, too, has shown an ability to bounce back.
"What I'm most proud of is that I've gotten the best out of myself when I felt like I needed to," Vick told me. "To be able to do that says a lot about my character."
It was interesting to watch Vick run the offense during Saturday's practice. As was the case with Foles and the other quarterbacks, including Matt Barkley, the pace was ramped up during the 11-on-11, no-huddle segments.
During his first 11-on-11 series, Vick took 11, 15 and 20 seconds to snap the ball.
Whew. That was fast.
Then he came back on the next sequence and after huddling up on the first play, ripped off plays that took six, nine and seven seconds for the snap.
"If you can't adjust to that tempo," Vick said, "it's not going to work for you."
PHOTOS: Best of preseason
Through it all, Vick looked so comfortable. He's in his fifth system in 12 years, but the other night talked about how he's fallen in love with football again.
That's a serious comfort zone with Kelly's offense, which Vick says is simplified -- an interesting word in contrast to the notion that Reid might have overloaded Vick with too much.
It's just preseason, but the results are there -- so far -- and the attached confidence.
"I don't think I could have played any better than I've played," Vick said. "I'm just trying to keep that going."
Good decisions will be the ticket for Vick, assuming he wins the job. He doesn't have to make the risky, hero-highlight plays to help his team win.
For him, it will still be about limiting the mistakes. Last season, when he was limited to 10 games, he threw 10 interceptions and lost four fumbles -- and that a flood of turnovers came early set the tone for a disastrous campaign.
In his career, Vick has combined for 131 interceptions and fumbles (including those recovered by his team) while passing for 123 touchdowns.
That's not the ratio for maximum efficiency.
If the pattern changes, maybe that's when Kelly will really become comfortable trusting Vick as his quarterback.
If not, turnovers are part of football in more ways than one.

What to expect when you're expecting movie reviews
The Columbus Dispatch - May 18, 2012 09:19 AM
With The Avengers still heroically defending its box-office earnings crown, new releases are not plentiful. There are, however, at least a few new pictures released in theaters this week.
Pregnancy and parenthood are the themes that bring a plethora of performers together in What to Expect When You're Expecting, the latest from British director Kirk Jones.
The who's who cast includes Cameron Diaz, Matthew Morrison, Chris Rock, Elizabeth Banks, Jennifer Lopez, Brooklyn Decker and Dennis Quaid.
Critic Roger Moore said, "The film is a light, frothy and superficial romp through the pregnancy experience. It's choppy and episodic — and funny, especially when Rock, a veteran dad in real life, holds court."
Fans of the gonzo comic stylings of Sacha Baron Cohen had a few extra days to catch The Dictator, which was released earlier this week.
Cohen's latest character is Admiral General Aladeen, a totalitarian African despot who behaves badly both at home and in the United States.
Washington Post critic Ann Hornaday didn't find much to like in the film, although she did identify a few positive points. "Even amid the hit-and-miss broadsides and laugh-free longueurs that comprise most of The Dictator, Cohen's acute hypocrisy-detector keeps on ticking, if barely."

Wow, TTU is putting it to them.
WVU's D is terrible. After watching OU destroy Texas it is pretty clear that the UT win on WVU's resume is not that impressive.
Can you guys remember a year where NCAAF was so bad? There is one great team and bunch of badly flawed teams, then a bunch of shitty teams. The level of play is just not good. As bad as OSU's D looks, it still looks better than a lot of these other "Top 25" D's and that is sad.
Does anyone here really believe that USCe is a top 3 team? LSU looked pretty bad last week, but I still think they beat USCe. Just a weird year. You know Oregon's D has looked pretty good, maybe they could hang with 'Bama?

Install a New Front Door and Save Money
DEAR TIM: My front door is in bad shape, and my wife wants a new one. We visited a showroom and I see that I can purchase a new front door that's already prehung in the frame. It seems that all I have to do is just nail it in place and I'm good to go. Do you feel I can install a new front door myself? Surely it's not as simple as just nailing it in place. What tips can you share to help me get this done and save lots of money? Gary B., Portland, OR
DEAR GARY: Installing a new front door is an ambitious project, especially if you've never installed a door before. That's not to say you can't do it. I just want to manage your expectations. There are many steps required to ensure the door works properly, seals tightly to save energy, and that absolutely no water leaks into your home. Water leaks at exterior doors can cause serious structural damage over time.
It's impossible in this short column to give you all the knowledge I've attained about door installation over the years. But I'll give you a link to a page at my website where you can watch several videos that will really help you get started so you can save money on this job. The money you save by not hiring a contractor can be used to purchase a nicer door.
Let's talk about what can go wrong so you know the pitfalls in this project. For starters, you can make a mistake and purchase the wrong door. If your home is less than 50 years old, you should be able to purchase a prehung door that fits very nicely in your existing opening. But to make sure that you don't goof up, you need to check measurements before you get out your credit card.
In my opinion, the easiest thing to do is to remove the interior trim that surrounds the door. You can do this with a razor knife, a wide putty knife and a flat pry bar. Always start at the bottom of the door where the trim meets the door jamb at the floor. Be sure to cut a very fine line with the razor knife where the trim touches the wall surface. This ensures any caulk between the trim and the wall surface doesn't cause the drywall paper to tear off the wall as you pull the trim away from the wall.
Once the trim is removed, you can see the entire door frame. Use a flashlight if necessary to see where the bottom of the door frame and the threshold assembly touch your concrete slab or the wood subfloor.
Your job is to obtain the outer width and height dimensions of your existing door frame assembly. These are commonly referred to as unit dimensions. It's critical that your new door match these dimensions as closely as possible. You also want to determine the thickness or width of the door jamb. It's usually either 4 and 9/16ths or 6 and 9/16ths. This is the actual thickness of the wall if you measure the width of the wall studs plus the thickness of the interior drywall and exterior wall sheathing.
Once you have the new door, you need to make sure you have all the other supplies you need. Don't start to tear out your existing door unless you have everything on site. You'll need wood shims, rust-proof trim screws that are at least 2.5-inches long, a plastic sill pan flashing kit, rubberized waterproofing membrane, several tubes of elastomeric caulk, and any tools that will help you remove the old door.
The next step, before you start to remove your old door, is to read all the written instructions that come with the new door. Check to make sure all the dimensions are correct. Check to make sure the new door swings the same way as the old door. Be sure you have all the supplies the written instructions call for. You don't want to remove your old door and find out that you're missing some critical materials.
The biggest mistake most rookie installers make is installing a new door without a proper flashing under the door. Many feel that a bead of caulk will stop water infiltration. It will not. You need a flashing to keep your house waterproof. I always install a wonderful plastic pre-formed flashing pan under my doors. They come in various sizes to accommodate all doors. It takes just minutes to install this critical component.
Once the new door is in the opening, you want to secure it with the wood shims and the rust-proof fasteners. As you do this, you're constantly checking to make sure the door frame is not twisted, that it's plumb, and the door threshold is level. If your door doesn't have glass sidelights, you want to make sure you install a very long screw behind the top door hinge so the door frame is securely fastened to the rough framing. This prevents door droop.
Column 985
One Response to Install a New Front Door and Save Money
Not sure I have the to
e to go over all of this wonderful article. I need to expand the opening to the door so that it is ADA compatible for the interior doors as well. So I am going to have to research further before I contimplate this project. Any suggestions would be ever so appreciated. BECCA MUNOZ

Farewell Red Cross Hello Dixon Schwabl
After four and a half years supporting the American Red Cross primarily in the communications arena, I'm taking the plunge. I'm excited to share that I've recently accepted a wonderful opportunity to join the PR team at Dixon Schwabl!
My journey with the Red Cross has been invaluable. I've met so many great people – volunteers who give so much for nothing in return and colleagues that have become family to me. I've learned so much about communities around the world, and seen first hand how Rochester truly rallies through the most trying times.
I'm excited to continue contributing to this wonderful organization and my neighbors who need the Red Cross most, as a volunteer.
Thank you to all who continue to support the Red Cross, the Red Cross blog, and me!
Although this is my last day as an American Red Cross employee…the Red Cross blog will live on through Chapter yp's…and I'll be back blogging soon from the other side.

Also it gave him the possibility to have Yoko perform and to do things which were just difficult to do within the framework of the Beatles and their image. It didn't seem to be against the Beatles or even some of its members, it was just aside of them. BTW, wasn't George there as well?

Israel Liberated From Assault Of The Corries
It is now official. Rachel Corrie, patron saint of the pro-terror radical left and its Islamofascist allies, essentially committed suicide in order to assist Palestinian terrorists. She was not killed in cavalier fashion by Israel. Israel had no particular reason to want her dead (as opposed to deported).
The Haifa district court last week tossed out a petition by Corrie's clueless parents. They had sought damages and a court proclamation that Israel was at fault in their daughter's death. Instead, Judge Oded Gershon made it very clear that Rachel Corrie was responsible for her own death.
She intentionally placed herself in harm's way interfering with Israeli anti-terror operations in Gaza. She did so in a place where Palestinian terrorists had fired at Israeli soldiers just hours earlier. The troops were there to destroy smuggling tunnels beneath residential buildings, tunnels used to smuggle in explosives, missiles, and other weapons – you know, the things used by terrorists to murder Jewish children and other living things.
Corrie had been sent to Gaza as part of a Solidarity-with-Genocidal-Hamas-Murderers delegation organized by the pro-jihad International Solidarity Movement, which notoriously hosted two terrorists the day before they murdered several Israelis at the Mike's Place tavern in Tel Aviv in 2003.
Corrie entered Gaza to serve as a human shield for Hamas mass murderers. On March 16, 2003 she decided to play chicken with a large Israeli earthmover. The irony is that the driver would have stopped and capitulated to Corrie's shenanigans if he had seen her. But he did not and struck her. She later died in a Palestinian medical facility.
Since then both the totalitarian left and the goose-stepping ultra-right have beatified Corrie. She is the darling of the Iranian Holocaust deniers. A ridiculous theater play has been making the circuits proclaiming Corrie a victim rather than an accomplice of terror. The most lasting image of Corrie was that of her face contorted with rage and as she burned an American flag.
When Reuters reported that Palestinians "honored" her after her death in a "symbolic funeral" by flying U.S. flags, James Taranto of the Wall Street Journal remarked that if Corrie were still alive, no doubt she'd have burned those flags.
Since her death, Corrie's parents have been serving as an Israel-bashing SWAT team. They frequently come to Gaza to show their support for the same Hamas terrorists their daughter served. Ironically, on one occasion the terrorists kidnapped the Corrie parents but then quickly released them when it became clear they were far more valuable assets for terrorism while they run about free. The Corries also have been leading the jihad against the Caterpillar company because it sells equipment to Israel.
When the Corrie parents began their legal assault against Israel here in Haifa, where I live, I wrote an open letter to them, an excerpt of which is still relevant:
The city of Haifa is still recovering from the trauma of the summer of 2006, when it, along with the rest of northern Israel, was targeted by thousands of Katyusha rockets, fired from southern Lebanon by Hizbullah terrorists. Haifa has also been targeted by suicide bombers who carried out mass murders against civilians in buses and restaurants. Now Haifa is about to become the victim of yet another indignity. It is to be the scene for a legal assault by the parents of Rachel Corrie….
You have stated, "She [Rachel] had been working in Rafah with a nonviolent resistance organization, the International Solidarity Movement, trying to stop the demolition of Palestinian homes and wells."
Well, she was not. Rachel was trying to prevent the demolition of tunnels used to smuggle weapons for Palestinian terrorists seeking to murder Jewish civilians. Your daughter was in a war zone as a belligerent, on behalf of a movement of Arab fascists seeking to destroy Israel and murder as many Jews as possible.
You demand that we feel your pain at the loss of your daughter, yet your daughter conscripted herself as an accomplice for those seeking to murder my children. You feel no pain for the scores of martyrs in my own city of Haifa murdered by those same terrorists.
You write, "Clearly, our daughter has become a positive symbol for people."Steven Plaut

her only good deed.
You jump in front of a moving bulldozer you get squished – end of story. Doesn't take a rocket scientist to work that out. Her parents should look inside themselves and ask how they raised a traitor to their nation who burns their own flag… I would be ashamed if my daughter grew up to be like that.
I agree with most of what the author wrote. However, despite the driver's denials, I believe he saw Rachel Corrie. Whether he did or not, Miss Corrie certainly saw the bulldozer. She "went all in" when the stakes were her life and she had no hand at all. Sorry she died, but she made a stupid decision and it cost her her life.
israel would have been liberated from the corries, had the judge done the correct thing from day one and thrown out the case. by allowing this to drag on and keeping the corries name in the news, they have accomplished their goals.
rachel remains a saint, the israel haters can say that the idf are immune from prosecution and either the corries appeal and drag this on, or they go to the jew/israel hating international court.
was always a lose/lose proposition.
that is a pic of the d9 with a infantryman in front of it. note the cab
the eyewitnesses stated that corrie, a 5 foot 2 inch girl, sat in front of the moving dozer. no way could he have seen her
so you can believe what you wish
Very interesting all the ignorant statements on here. Then again looking at the profile pictures it looks like a bunch of hillbilly white trailer trash. The Israelis were bulldozing houses that Palestinian families had lived in for hundreds of years. Yes she was a fool to be sitting in front of a bulldozer. Then again the bulldozer should not have been there destroying homes that families still live in. Israel builds illegal settlements and American soldiers die. All Hail South Africa, oops I mean Israel. Come on Iran.
I was going to write that it takes a special kind of vile person to write something like this…and I was not too surprised to see who that vile person was. I was not expecting the equally as vile people who would be depraved enough to agree with the author…though I'm not why that would surprise me. Sick soulless ziobot losers.
Nice to see that you only have invective and smears instead of reasoned arguements. Instead plenty of disgusting Arab/Hamas propaganda galore. Oops, why would that be???
Steven, don't be bothered by hate-filled pro-terror congenitally antisemitic French fascists, please!
You wrote the appropriate letter. It pinned the necessary nerves. Thank G_d!
You wrote the appropriate letter. It pinned the necessary nerves. Thank G_d!
Blood is not thicker than water in terms of G_d's realms. It is either you are for the L_rd or against. May the bereaved parents come to grips of facts over their late daughter's false and evil causes.
