Michaels' Streak More Impressive Than 'Taker's
Congratulations to The Undertaker for extending his WrestleMania streak to 18-0. Impressive as that is, let's not get carried away. This is pro wrestling after all, so while it's nice that Undertaker was deemed worthy of WM victories 18 times, it could not have happened without some divine intervention from the top of the Tower.
Michaels' streak of seven straight Matches of the Year (including, if you will, 2010) is almost entirely of his own doing. Sure, you have to give credit to his dance partners, Underaker, Ric Flair, John Cena, Vince McMahon, Kurt Angle, Triple-H, and Chris Benoit, but the common denominator is glaringly obvious. Aside from Flair and Benoit, none of these men has been in a Match of the Year with another opponent.
There are fans of Ric Flair and Bruno Sammartino and even The Undertaker who might not like to read this, but Shawn Michaels--win-loss record aside--is the greatest wrestler of all-time.
A note about WrestleMania 26: Taken as a whole, this was not a great show. Some early Internet chatter have even mentioned this as the worst WrestleMania of all-time. Had it not been for the aforementioned grand finale, I might give the notion some serious thought. Granted, my $59.95 will be reimbursed by my employer (I could not make the trip for personal reasons), but when I turned off my TV set, I was content. For those of you who have bought boxing pay-per-views, you never expect much from the undercard, but you're angry if the main event is not worthy of the purchase price. This one was.
I anxiously await your take on WrestleMania 26.

I agree with that statement about Michaels. Oddly enough, Michaels' WM record is 6-11, and even Triple-H only has 6 Mania victories.
Even more puzzling is that his Mania record has been sub-.500 since he lost to Tatanka at WM 9.
But even in defeat, he's had probably 7 or 8 of the 20 most memorable Mania matches in the last 15 years, starting with the Ladder Match.
However, I also agree with you that Mania was, by and large, uninteresting. I thought it was just me being jaded by the business...but outside of the usual MIB cluster-F and the to me unexplainable love for Orton, the first 2 1/2 hours of the show was pretty boring.
I thought the final two matches, however delivered...and no, I don't count the Divas match.

Excuse me, 7 wins for Triple-H, as I wasn't yet counting his victory over Sheamus last night in the above total.
And speaking of which, did anyone notice:
-Triple-H's first Mania win since he beat Booker T at WM XIX?
-Matt Hardy looking like he's preparing for a role as Jake Roberts' stunt double?
-Jack Swagger nearly blowing the biggest spot of his career by taking nearly 30 seconds to unhook the MIB briefcase?
-R-Truth making the dumbest move of all-time by trying to hit a fully conscious Big Show with an over the ropes dive?
-CM Punk's awesome GI Joe-inspired gear?

I'm not sure I agree that Taker/Michaels 2 exceeded last year's bout. At least, not in a strictly blow-by-blow sense.
With that being said, I agree that it should most definitely be the match of the year. And it belongs in the pantheon of the most memorable Wrestlemania moments of all time, without question.
Thanks to WWE, for having the class not to play HBK's theme as he made his way back up the ramp. The music of the fans chanting "Thank You, Shawn," was all I wanted to hear.
Now, nitpicks. Rey Mysterio's botched entrance raised an eyebrow, as did Swagger's inability to unlatch the Money in the Bank.
And, with all of the hype surrounding it, was anyone else disappointed in the Hart vs. McMahon match? I was.

One last note to add to the previous post. The ending of the main event was perfect. Taker pleading with Shawn to stay down, HBK defiant to the end - it was one of the best moments I've seen in years.

I think last years HBK vs. Undertaker bout was much better. It's like Shawn vs. Razor in the ladder match. Their Summer Slam match didn't have a chance of topping the original. However, it was well done.
The Bret Hart match went on too long. Vince really needs to learn how to put on a fight. He fell on his rear end every time Bret hit him with a punch. The match made Bret look like an old man who can't go anymore. It was sad.
I'm pretty sure Randy Orton just became a face last night at the PPV. This should be interesting.
Triple H delivered a match that was far better than his boring main event from last year.
The Diva match was an abomination.
Overall, it was a good PPV. I wasn't let down and I left satisfied. Now I'm looking forward to seeing how they are going to handle Shawn Michael's send off. I sure hope he doesn't pull a Ric Flair and come back.

I thought the show way actually pretty good. I could of done without bret and vince,and im not keen on anything that has to do with john cena, but the other matchs were all solid. Shawn will go down as the best performer in WWE history, so going out in the main event,in a classic with the undertaker 2 years in a row is perfect.
- March 29, 2010 at 12:30 PM
This was on spotty ppv. I enjoyed one match then hated the next few then liked another only to be disappointed moments later. Wrestlemania 26 wouldn't of been worth it all and all if it wasn't for the epic finish. Not as good as last years match but definitely worthy.
Shawn's farewell speech tonight on Raw was the first time in a long time that I felt emotionally attached to what was happening on screen. It was real. The Heartbreak Kid, Shawn Michaels, really has left the building.
- March 30, 2010 at 12:14 AM
No, HBK vs. Taker wasn't as good as last year, but sequels never are. Money in the Bank's time has come and gone. It lacks the intensity that a ladder match should have, with two bitter rivals competing in a brutal contest, not a fustercluck of guys Vince doesn't know what else to do with. Now that Orton seems to be turning, who becomes the next top tier heel? I'm not sure that Dibiase, Swagger, and Sheamus are seasoned enough to pull it off. C.M. Punk has been brilliant lately, his match was way too short. I would rather have seen more time given to his match versus seeing the divas match or even the tag title match.

It was an okay WrestleMania - certainly not the best or the worst, in my opinion. I was actually disappointed by HBK and Taker's rematch.
I'm sure at least part of that was because the match closed the show, so in the back of my head was this little clock telling me that the show would soon be coming to a close. For me, that definitely killed some of the excitement and "anything can happen" feel that helped make last year's match so special. I'm sure it also didn't help that I spent the entire match wondering exactly how The Undertaker would pin him.

On a recent visit with us, my mom brought a ridiculously heavy green suitcase full of what she told me was family history books. Not having time to cope with it, I set it in the "junk room" and spent a couple of months ignoring it. I know that there's a reason I opened it up, but now I don't remember why. But it was like opening up Pandora's Box, because once it was opened, there was no going back! There were several family history books, but there were also many invaluable family mementos such as Uncle Phil's medals, their WWII ration books and letters between my Great Uncle Phil and his grandmother during WWI (that's a whole 'nother blog post!). There were also dozens of clipped obituaries from many different newspapers, and someone had taken the time to make sure there was a date written on most of them. One such obituary was for Mary Aloise Canning. Mary's mother, Ernestine Rose Vautrinot Canning was a younger sister of my great-grandmother, Grace Eugenie Vautrinot Wenz.
Here is the text of the obituary, from the Boston Globe, dated 4 Sep 1987:
"DEDHAM – A funeral Mass was to be said Sept. 8 at St. Mary's Church, Dedham, for Mary A. Canning, who died Sept. 4 at the Goddard Home, Jamaica Plain. She was 86.
Born in Dedham, and a lifelong resident. She was a graduate of Massachusetts General Hospital Nursing School, Class of 1921. Miss Canning was employed at the hospital until 1941, when she joined the U.S. Army Nurse Corps. During World War II, she served in Casablanca, North, Africa, and assisted wounded troops through the Italian campaign, serving troops at Monte Cassino with distinction.
Upon the conclusion of the war in Europe, she served in the Far East, arriving in Tokyo shortly after the Armistice was signed. She retained the rank of major when she retired. After she returned to Dedham, she worked as a public health nurse for the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, retiring in 1967. Miss Canning was a member of the Dedham American Legion Post.
She was the daughter of the late Thomas and Ernestine (Votreneau [sic]) and the aunt of Richard Canning of Wilmington, Del., Edward X. Canning of Fairfield Conn., Harry Canning of Hudson, Ohio, Thomas Canning of California and Rita Meuer of Hagerstown, Md.
Arrangements were handled by the George F. Doherty & Sons Wilson-Cannon Funeral Hom, 456 High St., Dedham. Burial will take place at Brookdale Cemetery, Dedham.
Having an interest in military history, I was entranced to think someone with whom I was closely related played a critical part in such important campaigns in WWII. The more I read, the more I was impressed with her contributions and distressed to know that the involvement of these women has been so overlooked by history. I read an excellent work by Evelyn Monahan and Rosemarie Neidel-Greenlee entitled "And if I Perish," which details their amazing service. When the troops landed in Africa, those nurses, including Mary Canning, were landing right next to them. Between Africa and Italy, they had two hospital ships bombed out from under them. In Italy, the nurses were delayed in landing for three days, but remained trapped with the troops on Anzio Beach, otherwise known as "Hell's Half-Acre," for the entire time of the German bombardment. This was the first time in U.S. Military history where nurses in uniform travelled just behind the combat troops, and in many ways, they were making it up as they went along.
Like Uncle Ned, she passed away before I was ever aware of her history. But I have been in correspondence with one of her nephews who graciously shared her photo with me. He told me that "she was a very outgoing person and liked to party. She spent much time keeping in touch with relatives. I don't think she felt that all her activities were any hardship. She rather enjoyed all her adventures."
L-R Jack McLaughlin, Millie Irving Wenz, with her husband Fred Wenz behind her, Emily Wenz Morse, Mary Canning, Marie Wenz McLaughlin and Dot Irving Wenz (my grandmother). The occasion was probably the anniversary of the McLaughlins, taken at their home in Hanson, MA in 1975.
And I've just learned that I had actually met her in 1975! Oh, that I had known! Hopefully more research will reveal more details of her life and I'll be able to update this post with more detail soon.

Slacko not setting time right at summer's end
I am running Slacko 5.3 on an old 660Mhz machine. When I logged on today the time shown was one hour ahead of GMT. I have set up all my preferences to run on European time, changing to +1 during summer time. Europe reverted to +0 at the end of October but Slacko shows I am still on (American) DST (the abbreviation and its meaning are different in Europe - it actually means 'double summer time'!). This point has been brought up several times before but I am bringing it up again as no one is doing anything about it. If I could fix the software myself I would but I can't. Now, will someone out there please, please fix this. Surely that's not too much to ask? Thank you very much.

The recognition of day-light saving time is built into the linux kernel.
The user doesn't have to be connected to the internet
Apparently the kernel checks what city the user is living in.
You give that info when you fill in Shinobar's country wizard.

Subject description: Puupy is not adjusting prperly at the end of Summmer time.
Thanks for all your replies. Currently I am set to UTC+0 and 'switch to summer time is NO' in order to get the correct GMT in the UK. This should not be necessary except that 'summer time' refers implicitly only to USA and they have not yet reverted back to their winter time. Someone some time ago pointed out that 'preferences' does not recognise GMT. Earlier this year when I spent some time setting the time up I seem to recall a button marked 'dst' (US daylight saving time) but I could not find it today. It is perplexing that the time was incorrectly displayed on my machine but not on others. There must be another way of setting the time in Puppy and the two are in conflict. Someone who is familiar with time setting for USA, Europe and GMT in Puppy/SeaMonkey needs to have a look at this.

Please enter this single-line list of commands into a terminal window and post the output:
cat /etc/clock ; readlink /etc/localtime ; cat /proc/driver/rtc | grep rtc_time ; date
Also, please tell us what your actual local time was (approximately) when you did this.

Although I just stumbled onto this discussion, I want to add my two cents worth.
First, the date of change to daylight savings time and standard time in the US had been changed and I wanted to know if that fact was updated in linux/Puppy.
Second, the output from npierce's try this showed
# cat /etc/clock ; readlink /etc/localtime ; cat /proc/driver/rtc | grep rtc_time ; date
#Set this to either 'utc' or 'localtime' based on which one your computer's
#hardware clock uses.
rtc_time : 09:41:58
Tue Nov 20 09:41:58 PST 2012
I just thought I would show the results with Slacko 5.3.3.

You may look at the current zoneinfo data on your Puppy with the zdump command. For instance, for your timezone:
# zdump -v US/Pacific | grep 2012
US/Pacific Sun Mar 11 09:59:59 2012 UTC = Sun Mar 11 01:59:59 2012 PST isdst=0 gmtoff=-28800
US/Pacific Sun Mar 11 10:00:00 2012 UTC = Sun Mar 11 03:00:00 2012 PDT isdst=1 gmtoff=-25200
US/Pacific Sun Nov 4 08:59:59 2012 UTC = Sun Nov 4 01:59:59 2012 PDT isdst=1 gmtoff=-25200
US/Pacific Sun Nov 4 09:00:00 2012 UTC = Sun Nov 4 01:00:00 2012 PST isdst=0 gmtoff=-28800
This shows the times in 2012 one second before the time changes and the times immediately after the changes. If this output is correct, then the zoneinfo data has been updated.
For more info see the zdump man page.

Post subject: Slacko not saving time correctly at summer's end.
Subject description: test results
In reply to npierce these are the results of the tests suggested.
cat etc/clock
readlink /etc/localtime
cat /proc/driver/rtc | grep rtc_time
rtc_time : 20:35:09
Mon Nov 26 20:36:12 GMT 2012
This is the result of zdump
zdump -v Europe/London | grep 2012
Europe/London Sun Mar 25 00:59:59 2012 UTC = Sun Mar 25 00:59:59 2012 GMT isdst=0 gmtoff=0
Europe/London Sun Mar 25 01:00:00 2012 UTC = Sun Mar 25 02:00:00 2012 BST isdst=1 gmtoff=3600
Europe/London Sun Oct 28 00:59:59 2012 UTC = Sun Oct 28 01:59:59 2012 BST isdst=1 gmtoff=3600
Europe/London Sun Oct 28 01:00:00 2012 UTC = Sun Oct 28 01:00:00 2012 GMT isdst=0 gmtoff=0
These show that my machine is set correctly to Europe/London ie GMT.
So it does not explain the discrepancy I reported initially.
On a side issue, I could not get the complete string of commands to run all at once; I had to enter them separately as above. Nice to learn some new very useful commands.
Thanks for all the comments and help.

It's good to know that your Puppy is back on the correct time.
Here's one possible explanation.
Your hardware clock ("rtc") is keeping local time. You probably have it set this way because you sometimes boot another operating system (such as Windows) that expects the hardware clock to give local time.
When Summer Time begins or ends, Linux will immediately adjust the clock displayed on your desktop and any other clocks based upon the software clock, but does not adjust the hardware clock. (The software clock is the clock that is used for everything except, obviously, setting itself at boot time, which is what the hardware clock is for.) So if you leave the PC powered-on during the night that the time shift occurs, it will display the new correct time when you awake the next day. It will continue to display the correct time until you shut it down or reboot.
If you or your other O.S. does not adjust the hardware clock before you next boot Puppy, when you eventually boot your Puppy and it sets the software clock based upon what it reads from the hardware clock, the time will be incorrect because the hardware clock is still incorrect.
When you next boot your other O.S., it checks to see when it was last run, sees that it hasn't been run since the time shift, and so it adjusts the hardware clock.
Then, when you next boot your Puppy, the hardware clock will be correct, and so the software clock will be set correctly.
So why doesn't Puppy adjust the hardware clock?
Have you ever risen the morning after a time shift, adjusted all of your various wall, floor, and shelf clocks, and sat down to a good breakfast, happy in the knowledge that your prompt actions have brought your household up to date again -- happy, that is, until you arrive at church an hour late and realize that your spouse was even more prompt that you, and reset all of the clocks before going to bed? That's why Puppy doesn't adjust the hardware clock. If it did, your other O.S. would adjust it a second time the next time it booted. (The same problem would likely happen if you booted two different installations of Windows -- one would have no way of knowing that the other had already reset the clock.)
Remember, keeping the hardware clock on local time is just for the convenience of the other operating system. A pure Linux PC has no need for this twice-yearly dance. Like other Unix-like systems, it can keep the hardware clock set to UTC year-round. (Getting the local time to display on your desktop and the timestamps for your files is, of course, a simple matter of mathematics for the PC -- I hear computers are good at that.) So if you ever retire your other O.S., you can set your hardware clock to UTC, tell all your Puppies that you did that, and not have to deal with that again.
Until you retire your other O.S., the best way to keep both it and Linux happy is probably to boot your other O.S. the morning after a time shift. That way the hardware clock gets reset, and your other O.S. knows that it has been reset, so won't try to set it again.
Some people use their other O.S. so rarely, that they set the hardware clock to UTC anyway, and get used to the fact that the other O.S. will then display the time and timestamps in UTC. This, of course, will only work if you can tell the other O.S. that it is using UTC, so that it won't keep trying to adjust the hardware clock for Summer Time. (I've heard rumors that newer versions of one O.S., Windows, can be told to keep the hardware clock in UTC and display the time and timestamps in local time (just like Linux always could). I've also heard rumors that that option is a bit buggy.)

I don't know what would cause that. I just copied and pasted the line into a urxvt window and it ran OK on my Puppy (Slacko 5.3.3). I don't know what might be different on your system to prevent it from running. But, no matter; entering the commands individually achieved satisfactory results.

She also gave tips on using Google Earth that will be very useful.

- Consider this: sometimes folks don't want their photo taken, so they certainly don't want you to record a video of them. However, with audio it doesn't matter how they're dressed or if they have a food stain on their shirt from the family reunion picnic.
- Also think about audio files. They are almost always MP3. What about your video files? The formats vary and are often changing. You can convert them, or you can stick with audio.
- Video is often distracting. Not only are your subjects self conscious, but your viewers might get distracted by the visuals and miss out on the actual content.
- Lunch Break. Mom had picked up some brochures from the Gwinnett Visitor's booth in the expo hall and we had a discounted Chick-fil-A dinner!
- Third Class: "Non-Genealogy" Tools to Help Your Family History Research by Tonia Kendrick. Boy did I learn a lot! Tonia introduced me to mind-maps and helped me figure out how to better use spreadsheets in my genealogy research. I'd tried some before with little success, but I'm going to try again. She mentioned a website called CensusTools.com that I've just got to check out. She also gave a brief intro to Evernote and OneNote that had me experimenting during the class. She also promised to put up copies of her FAN Club and Research Log spreadsheets on her blog.
- Fourth Class: Crossing the Great Divide: Little Known Federal Sources for Place of Birth before 1850 by Robert S Davis. This class was just chock full of helpful information on finding information in places you've never heard of. He also explained why the information is there; the original purpose of the record. It was a bit complex, but he explained it well and I have new places to look for my ancestors.
- I bought a book from the Georgia Genealogical Society, "Georgia Research: a Handbook for Genealogists, Historians, Archivists, Lawyers, Librarians, and Other Researchers," by Robert S Davis and Ted O Brooke.
- I talked to the gentleman at the booth for GenealogyWallCharts.com. They have some great conference prices and I'm planning to take a Gedcom file tomorrow and see about buying a (few?) chart(s).
Today was over much too quickly and I'm looking forward to tomorrow. If you didn't attend today, and you are in the area, I recommend you attend tomorrow. The first class is at 10am and a one day registration is $60.
Me, Mom, my sister, Sarah

We helped a multinational FMCG company optimize two new product ideas for an existing pasta brand.
Our client was considering adding two extensions to an existing line of fresh pasta products in the US market. It wanted to understand the key consumer drivers and barriers around these potential concepts in order to define and shape the future brand portfolio. The company asked us to assess consumer reaction to the concepts and offer guidance to optimize the offerings.
We used our early-stage screening and testing methodology to determine which concept had the most emotional resonance for consumers. We introduced the new concepts and a control concept to customers and asked them to tell us what they thought about the ideas in natural conversational speech. We analyzed their voice recordings to appraise their emotional response (how they spoke about concepts) as well as what they said. To provide a link to historical product performance, we paired this research with traditional key performance indicators such as purchase intent, price value, uniqueness and solving a problem for consumers. We tested each concept with around 300 respondents – males and females aged 18 to 64 who were principal grocery shoppers in their households and aware of fresh pasta brands. Because of the similarity of the product ideas, we tested only one with each respondent.
Our study found that while both product line extensions were promising, one stood out as a compelling offering with a higher level of consumer engagement. We recommended the food and beverage company move ahead with that offering first. From our analysis of customers' open-ended commentary, we suggested ways our client could enhance advertising communication, tweak product formulations and refine package information. The company is currently developing the concept into a commercial product. We also suggested ways the client could improve variety, pricing and size for the second concept to enhance its appeal.

Democracy in Hawaii
Crawford writes, "The truth is that the provisional government, the so-called republic, and the U.S. occupation were forced upon the people of Hawaii against their will and without their consent."
Crawford's view of Hawaiian history is one-sided. It ignores primary sources which do not support his views. It ignores that fact that the Hawaiian Kingdom was imposed upon the majority of Hawaii without the consent of Hawaiians by King Kamehameha. (I guess that means the Hawaiian Kingdom was never valid...) It ignores democracy in the 20th century because the "wrong" people voted.
Thurston Twigg-Smith, whom Crawford is attempting to rebut, notes this. If Kamehameha's conquest by non-democratic means was legitimate, why was not the overthrow of the Hawaiian Kingdom? Twigg-Smith wrote, "The test is how things progressed from the date of illegitimacy. The 18th-century residents of Oahu and the other islands he conquered accepted Kamehameha as their new king, and the residents of 19th-century Hawaii accepted the Republic of Hawaii as their new government."
Crawford appears to miss this point entirely. Are only non-democratic events in history you retrospectively like legit? Despite this, I believe Mr. Crawford is actually speaking up for democracy and would respect a democratic vote today.
I believe in democracy as well. Governments should not be imposed upon a people without their consent. I also believe that people should not have a southern style "grandfather clause" placed upon them to determine whether or not they are "really" a citizen of a locality.
If any changes in the status of Hawaii are to ever be enacted, they must also be enacted with the consent and the will of the people of Hawaii. Any defect in how things were changed in the 19th century does not justify denying citizens their rights in the 21st century. The citizens of Hawaii have a right to determine their own fate regardless of what happened between people who lived and died long before they were born. Beware anyone who seeks to deny anyone their suffrage by trying to determine the status of their ancestors in the 19th century.
Let's not impose a government on the people of Hawaii without "their will and without their consent." Democracy can indeed work. But only if everyone votes. Excluding people based on 19th century events would assure a non-democratic process and sow the seeds of chaos and probable violence.
History is indeed informative to today. Mistakes in the democratic process in the past (as evidenced by Kamehameha and later by the rebel forces in Hawaii in 1893), need not be repeated in the future in Hawaii. Let us hope the lessons have been learned.

It's been a while since I have felt like slumming and visited Crawford's site. Thanks for the update.
- M said...
I do not think slumming is a good word. I disagree with the ideas expressed but find the way they are expressed valuable. If it was not for Crawford's site, I would not be aware of the Hawaiian separatists. In addition, I watched the debate in the comment section of his blog for years and learned how to argue against his revisionist claims. Crawford turned his comments off last year after his views kept getting creamed in the ensuing debates.
This site holds no threat. The International Court of Jusice will never rule that Hawaii is anything other than American. The separatists will never win an election in Hawaii. And armed revolt is not going to happen.
This site can be very informative to students who are given the background perspective of multiple historical primary sources, are taught what legitimacy means under international law, and are encouraged to use their critical thinking skills. I have used it in class several times and it has helped to inspire many posts at this blog.
Take care,

Miland, mahalo for the kind comments, despite our disagreements. I have my own commentary, but I put out info for people to make up their own minds, knowing that many will disagree with me. I have no idea what if anything will really happen with Hawaii's political status, but I do think it is important that people know the history and the feelings for independence.
For the record, I honestly did turn off the comments mainly because it was taking too much of my time and I wanted to focus on things that I think are more important than political arguments, like working to restore taro patches and protect the native forest in East Maui, things that I think everyone would agree are important regardless of political perspective. (See, I'm here commenting on your blog instead of writing a grant!) Secondarily, I turned off the comments because the tone had been turning less and less civil. You may feel like my views were getting creamed, but I didn't feel that way at all, so I wouldn't have turned the comments off for that reason. I know it might be hard to accept, but that is the truth. You seem to be fair minded with regards to your other comments about my blog, so I hope you'll accept that as well.
- M said...
Thanks for your comment.
Your site template has this notice, "is about Hawaii's status as an independent country under prolonged illegal occupation by the United States." Do you not think this will draw strong reactions for visitors?
As no American or international court has ever ruled that the US is illegally occupying Hawaii and the majority of Hawaiian, American, and world citizens do not hold this view, it is clear your statement is an minority (fringe?) opinion and not actually a real legal fact.
Your blog then has drawn comments and was a watering hole for different sides to vent their views. And the comments opposed to your views often did very well despite the level of nastiness which did spring up often.
Turn your comments back on. Get some volunteers who agree with your views that you trust to moderate the comments. Enforce some strong ground rules on behavior. This will take some of your time initially but will allow you to have others do the work for you long term. It will help make for a better blog and allow you to focus on more important projects too.
If you do not allow comments, I am sorry to say that it does appear that you are uninterested in debate on this issue.
"For the record, I honestly did turn off the comments mainly because it was taking too much of my time and I wanted to focus on things that I think are more important than political arguments, like working to restore taro patches and protect the native forest in East Maui, things that I think everyone would agree are important regardless of political perspective."
Good luck with your efforts with the Taro and the Hawaiian forests. Those are indeed noble and important goals.
- scott said...
Of course it will draw strong reactions. When I look at the history, I happen to think occupation is the truth, and I think it is important that people know that many others in Hawaii also hold this view. Even if it isn't a majority, it is a lot more than most people realize.
(Also, for those of you who would try to argue that the overthrow was legal and the so-called annexation was done with consent, you are also arguing a position contrary to American law-the Apology-and not held by the majority of Hawaiian, American, and world citizens, making your statements an minority (fringe?) opinion and not actually a real legal fact.)
I know many will not agree with me. But for years we managed to have a lot of really good discussions in the comments, and I gave free reign to everyone to express their opinions, regardless of how much I may have disagreed with them, as long as they followed basic ground rules (e.g. incited violence, excess profanity), and on only a very few occasions did I have to remove comments because they broke those ground rules. So it is just plain wrong to say I am uninterested in debate on the issue. You'll be hard pressed to find anyone who has contributed more to fostering constructive debate on the issue. But it is my blog - I chose to allow very active debate for a long time, and then I chose to turn off the comments, for my own reasons, which I stated at the time, and which I hope you take at face value, because they are honest. I have thought about having others help moderate, but have chosen not to so far. There are plenty of other places people can and do go to debate this issue. I hope you can respect that. If not, oh well.

Of course I respect that. Good luck with your future endeavors in agriculture and the environment.

I'm never in a rush to see summer go. And here, it never seems in a hurry to leave. There'll be signs of its departure. A certain shift in the light, earlier sunset, and latent color in the liquidambars. But it will persist a little past its calendarial rights, interjecting spells of heat and languor in the sensible world of gray cardigans and early morning lectures. Perhaps it's the seriousness of autumn I'm most reluctant to adopt, being too lately incompatible with its stern and scheduled demeanor. Nevertheless, the carelessness of June, July and August is about to slip behind a veil, as foreign and faraway as arid winds, peachy sands and Moroccan arches. Sandallwood fans purchased last week inspired this tutorial for Project Wedding - you can find the full details over there!

My daughter has PCOD and this lead to acne and weight gain that made her a recluse. No amount of medication was helping her and by the time we came to Rajshree, she had lost all hope.

I started working sith Sangeetha about 4 months ago with high HbA1c (12.1) and sugar levels (360). My doctor gave me goals to be met without administering insulin. When starting i told her my food preferences and requirements clearly. Now after using 3 of her food plans for 4 months now combined with physical exercise routines my hba1c has come down to 6.5 and sugar is well within control. Her food plans were very effective and got me what i wanted. She listens to our requirements and prepares the food plan accordingly, being a thorough professional she follows up on her own without even needing to remind the time for next food plan. The money spent on these food plans is worth it. She is also flexible and does changes to the plans as per our requirements. She would also go out of the way to provide recipes and instructions. It was a pleasure working with her and i would definitely consider engaging her in the future. Best part is she does not give fancy items or foreign foods, she can give plans completely based on locally available food items and materials which i feel is the best way to go.Read more reviews

But Hemamalini gave a simple yet effective diet plan and educated me about different kinds of nutrient waters and cooking oil incorporation into diet which helped me to optimise me nutrient absorption capacity. She is very friendly, punctual and consistent in her follow up with her client. Hence anybody who chooses Hemamalini will surely be dealt with competant hands. I wish her the best of luck in the life.

Chevron Pleated Bag. (My new favorite thing.)
I love yellow and gray together. (I've made lots of yellow and gray projects. Bag, zippered pouch, crocheted hat, a fleece hat…)
And the weight of this bag is great. It is interfaced with fusible interfacing and then I also interfaced the lining with felt. That was a suggestion I received from a reader! Thanks! I love how it gives it more body.
It has a magnetic snap and an interior pocket.
I've been making these bags as custom orders. Most recently, I sold this red one (pictured below) to a friend with a matching business card holder.
So, shameless plug for myself: I do custom orders, contact me via email at email@example.com if you're interested!

If the Mets were truly in a fire sale mode there was more they could have done prior to the 4:00 p.m., trade deadline. As a competitive team that to many overachieved through July, the Mets had plenty of chips they could have played to bolster their depth.
Chris Capuano and Jason Isringhausen both could help a contender, but are the types of players the Mets would need to plug in next season Capuano has been effective and warrants a chance to pitch for a spot in the rotation next spring.
Like all teams, the Mets need a closer, and unless Bobby Parnell makes progress the remaining two months – and during spring training – who is to say Isringhausen won't get that chance for one more season? His potential to contribute in that forum likely exceeds whom he might have brought it. Isringhausen becomes even more important to the Mets when one watches Parnell struggle as he did this afternoon in Washington.
The one Met I thought might go was outfielder Scott Hairston, who homered twice this afternoon at Washington. He would have been perfect as a spot starter or pinch hitter, which is why Atlanta made a late run at him. But, with Beltran gone and questions persist surrounding the Mets' outfield, there's nothing wrong with having him around another year.
There's something different about the make-up of this Mets' team that was missing in previous seasons when the playoffs were not an option with two months remained in the summer. Then, there was nothing to play for. Now, they are playing to build a foundation.
Manager Terry Collins has impressed to his team these Mets are being seriously evaluated for 2012. When he said the Mets are trying to win as many games as possible, while the wild-card remains a long shot creating a winning chemistry is not out of the realm of possibility.
With today's loss, the Mets are 7.5 games behind Atlanta for the wild-card with three teams they must leapfrog.
The Mets probably had a better chance to make a late wild-card run had they kept Francisco Rodriguez and Carlos Beltran, but with October a distance away, they made the right trade decisions to prepare themselves for the future in that they freed salary and acquired a power arm to develop.
In the interim, this team has played shorthanded, but with a grit and intensity is worth building around. Hopefully, their offensive deficiencies created by losing Beltran could be offset with David Wright's return from the disabled list. Then again, we're always waiting for Jason Bay to hit.
So far, Isringhausen and others have offset losing Rodriguez in the bullpen.
When teams talk fire sales usually there are more bodies leaving than just Rodriguez and Beltran. What remains intact is something for the Mets to build on, as what we have now is not the sign of desperation we envisioned coming out of spring training.

The kidney cells of African green monkeys and other primates have been heavily used to generate vaccines since the 1950s. Though CV-1 cells were not established until the following decade, some early simian lines were found to be contaminated with certain simian viruses years after they had begun being utilized for vaccine production. Of most concern has been SV40, which was introduced to a sizeable segment of the human population through tainted polio vaccines by the time its presence in the vaccines was discovered in 1960. A Papovaviridae virus, when SV40 infects some mammals, research has established, the virus is unable to reproduce, but instead forms T-antigen and transforms host cells into cancer cells. Studies in the 1960s suggested that the virus had no effect on humans although it was shown to cause tumor growth in laboratory animals such as hamsters, but many investigations that have been carried out more recently indicate that SV40 may in fact be associated with certain kinds of cancers in people, most notably mesothelioma. A consensus in the scientific community has yet to be reached, but in the meantime, cell lines used in modern vaccine manufacturing operations, including the CV-1 line, are much more stringently checked for contamination than those utilized in earlier periods.
The African green monkey kidney cell that appears in the digital image above was resident in a CV-1 cell culture that was stained with MitoTracker Red CMXRos, DAPI, and Alexa Fluor 488 conjugated to phalloidin, which target the mitochondrial network, nuclear DNA, and filamentous actin, respectively. Images were recorded in grayscale with a QImaging Retiga Fast-EXi camera system coupled to an Olympus BX-51 microscope equipped with bandpass emission fluorescence filter optical blocks provided by Omega Optical. During the processing stage, individual image channels were pseudocolored with RGB values corresponding to each of the fluorophore emission spectral profiles.

Lindsay Lohan Available for Your Bar Mitzvah or Bachelorette Party
Lindsay Lohan is broke as a bad joke, and her financial and legal woes may make her swallow her pride in exchange for some cash.
The once-promising actress is shopping herself for personal appearances, likely in order to pay her $233K in back taxes and to keep her storage locker items from the auction block. Need a wedding date?
The New York Post reports that 123Talent Agency is shopping La Lohan for any event the highest bidder desires. The pitch letter includes a full litany of Lohan's movie and television appearances and reminds the reader that she's also a recording artist and fashion designer.
You'd think with all those titles she'd have more cash left over, but apparently booze is a bad investment if you guzzle it.
In addition to selling off her clothes and time, LiLo has another offer on the table.
The famous Scores strip club offered Lohan the $16,000 in storage fees plus a few months rent in exchange for live chats on their website, ScoresLive.com.
Lohan wouldn't have to get naked -- the job is just to host live chats, which she's free to do fully clothed. It's unclear how many chats she'd have to host, but considering she posed for Playboy when the price was right, this may not be beneath her.
But being labeled a groupie is.

Fetal echocardiography is a test that uses sound waves (
How the test is performed
Fetal echocardiography is a test that is done while the baby is still in the womb. It is usually done during the second trimester of pregnancy, when the woman is about 18 – 24 weeks pregnant.
The procedure is similar to that of a
The test can be performed on your belly (abdominal ultrasound) or through your vagina (
In an abdominal ultrasound, the person performing the test places a clear, water-based gel on your belly and then moves a hand-held probe over the area. The probe sends out sound waves, which bounce off the baby's heart and create a picture of the heart on a computer screen.
In a transvaginal ultrasound, a much smaller probe is placed into the vagina. A transvaginal ultrasound can be done earlier in the pregnancy and produces a clearer image than an abdominal ultrasound.
How to prepare for the test
No special preparation is needed for this test.
How the test will feel
The conducting gel may feel slightly cold and wet. You will not feel the ultrasound waves.
Why the test is performed
This test is done to detect a heart problem before the baby is born. It can provide a more detailed image of the baby's heart than a regular pregnancy ultrasound.
The test can show:
Blood flow through the heart
Heart rhythm
Structures of the baby's heart
The test may be done if:
A sibling or other family member had a heart defect or heart disease
A routine pregnancy ultrasound detected an abnormal heart rhythm or possible heart problem in the unborn baby
The mother has
type 1 diabetes, lupus, or phenylketonuria
The mother has
rubelladuring pregnancy
The mother used street drugs or alcohol during pregnancy
The mother has used medicines that can damage the baby's developing heart (such as some epilepsy drugs and prescription acne medications)
amniocentesisrevealed a chromosomedisorder
Normal Values
The echocardiogram finds no problems in the unborn baby's heart.
What abnormal results mean
Abnormal results may be due to:
- A problem in the way the baby's heart has formed (
congenital heart disease)
- A problem with the way the baby's heart works
- Heart rhythm disturbances (
The test may need to be repeated.
What the risks are
There are no known risks to the mother or unborn baby.
Special considerations
Some heart defects cannot be seen before birth, even with fetal echocardiography. These include small holes in the heart or mild valve problems. Sometimes it may not be possible to see every part of the large blood vessels leading out of the baby's heart.
If the health care provider finds a problem in the structure of the heart, a detailed ultrasound may be done to look for other problems with the developing baby.

Friday the 13th Part II
Dir. Steve Miner
Five years after Mrs Voorhees slaughtered a group of counsellors attempting to reopen the summer camp where she believed her son to have drowned, a new spate of murders plagues a nearby camp. Could it be that Mrs Voorhees' son Jason has returned from the grave to avenge his mother's death? Or could it be he didn't actually drown all those years ago, he lived as a feral hermit in the woods by the lake… Until now!
Jason Voorhees was essentially an afterthought as far as the first Friday the 13th movie was concerned. His off screen death provided the catalyst for his mother's vengeful killing spree. That was of course, until the film became a huge success and Paramount saw a way to make even more money, as cheaply as possible.
Stepping away from the project to pursue more 'family orientated' projects, Sean Cunningham handed the reigns over to producer Steve Miner.
Friday the 13th Part II was released at a time when cinemas, and indeed video shops, were staggering under the weight of slasher movies. From the years 1980 – 1982, you couldn't go near a cinema without the risk of bumping into a masked psycho brandishing something sharp and stabby. Also produced around this time were the likes of Halloween II, Prom Night, Terror Train, Hell Night, My Bloody Valentine, The Burning, He Knows You're Alone and The Funhouse – all of which featured nubile teens making out and then cutting cut the fuck up. Conservative morality much?? Friday the 13th Part II is in many ways typical of a standard slasher sequel. Revenge is once again the motive of a largely unseen assailant. The body count is much higher than that of the prior film. The deaths are much more elaborate and gory. There is more nudity, more partying, more people wandering around creepy woodlands in the dead of night only to meet with the wrong end of something sharp. Everything about Part II screams bigger, better, faster, morer! In some other ways though, Part II is, while arguably a souped-up retread of the first movie's events, actually not a bad film. As far as slasher sequels go. Like the first film, we follow the mundane exploits of various teens, as they obliviously shag, smoke and drink their way towards a violent death at the hands of a madman stalking their every move. Thinly drawn characters are picked off one by one, in increasingly grisly ways until only one is left standing – in this case, Final Girl par excellence, Ginny (Amy 'buns of' Steel). As was the case with Alice, Ginny is really the only character to receive any shading or depth – she's a cool, intelligent, pretty and straight-talking gal who drives a cranky red car and majors in Child Psychology – something that comes in very useful when she must confront Jason at the film's climax.
Opening with a tightly filmed prologue (all close ups and steadicam stalking) in which poor Alice (Adrienne King), two months on and still clearly traumatised by her ordeal at the hands of Mrs Voorhees at Crystal Lake, has a lengthy flashback compromised of stock footage from the first film. Wandering around her cosy apartment, she showers and is startled by a noise in her kitchen… Shortly afterwards she discovers the decomposing head of Mrs Voorhees in her fridge and is promptly dispatched by an unseen assailant who stabs her in the head with an ice pick. It isn't long before we're introduced to the next batch of
They arm-wrestle, BBQ, read, play chess, swim, have sex, drink beer, smoke pot, look for hairbrushes in dark cabins and generally just wander about the place without a care in the world while the camera stalks after them and spies on them from behind trees/curtains/fences/cabin walls etc. Miner builds some tension during these scenes, though much of it obviously feels like padding as he is just filling time before the next victim gets it. A number of kills actually top those depicted in the first movie in terms of ruthlessness; a machete to the face, a double impalement (during copulation no less!), a number of slashed throats and a hammer to the head.
The campfire scene and a later scene involving the counsellors sitting at a bar in town discussing Jason, helps to flesh out the still fledgling slasher monster. They speculate about what he must be like, after living in the woods for so long having witnessed his mother's death. The picture they paint of him, while vaguely sympathetic, is also incredibly sinister. In the first movie Jason was simply depicted as a disfigured boy thrashing around in the middle of the lake. In Part II, he's lean, mean and a well-oiled killing machine. Unlike his later incarnations, here he runs and chases his prey with gusto, appearing feral and nimble. His look – a burlap sack with one eyehole cut into it, is immensely creepy, and while nowhere near as iconic as the hockey mask, still packs a visual punch – especially in the scene where he suddenly sits up in the bed to surprise poor Vicky, the camera fixed on his one glowering eye, glaring out from the hole in the sack. The stuff of nightmares. As is the moment when Ginny, upon entering a dark room with Paul, realises something is not quite right and whispers "There's someone in this room." Spine-chilling.
While much of Miner's style follows directly on from Cunningham's (the sense of continuity in this film, interms of style and tone, is spot on), he is much more adept at building and sustaining suspense. The lengthy chase scene near the climax that begins when Ginny and Paul return from the bar in town to discover the place eerily deserted, and that culminates in Jason's shack once he's relentlessly pursued Ginny there, is a genuine exercise in flawlessly maintained tension and a few well timed jolts. Slasher movie bliss. In what can only be presumed to be a touch of reflexivity on Miner's part, a couple of characters actually look directly into the camera at certain stages – Alice, when she suddenly pulls back her shower curtain, and Terry, when she is fumbling around her cabin looking for a knife. These moments are odd and uncomfortable and are almost certainly bound up in ideas about audience voyeurism, spectatorship and implement us in the ensuing carnage. It is after all, for our entertainment. Fuck, yeah! A couple of stand out moments from the original are 'reproduced' here (and indeed throughout the series) such as the shock ending (which here, dosen't really make any sense, but still manages to shit you up good). There's also the downright bizarre shot of Jason lifting Alice's kettle off the boil after he's killed her. What a gentleman!
Friday the 13th Part II is a pretty gripping follow up to the classic slasher, with its fair share of bloody violence, suspense and well-oiled shocks. And one of the best Final Girls in slasher movie history!

(WUSA) -- Several Pepco customers say they're experiencing irregular heartbeats, headaches, and dizziness after wireless smart meters were installed at their homes.
Smart Meters communicate with utility companies using wireless technology , which means they emit the same kind of radiation as cell phones.
"Ever since this smart meter was installed, I've been dizzy and my heart's been beating fast," said Hepsie Bohman, a Pepco customer who lives in Potomac. "I even went to my doctor and I was informed that I now have an irregular heart rate."
Bohman's next-door neighbor, Laura Simon, says she too has experienced similar symptoms after her old, analog meter was replaced with a smart meter.
"I felt my heart rate speed up and I felt a little bit charged," said Simon.
Pepco did notify customers by mail about the meter change, but both Simon and Bohman are frustrated that the power company installed the smart meter when they weren't home.
"I didn't like that Pepco can just show up and change my meter without my permission, especially since it's giving off radiation," said Simon.
Pepco customers in Maryland are currently eligible to opt-out of the smart meter program. But Pepco customers in the District don't have a choice. They're stuck with their Smart Meters.
"They should not be allowed to put something in our home that radiates our bodies without our permission. Period," said Desiree Jaworski, interim director of the Center for Safer Wireless."
In 2011, the World Health Organization classified radiofrequency radiation as possibly carcinogenic to humans.
"That is a scary thought," said Jaworski. "No one knows what the long term ramifications are, but we're exposing ourselves and our children."
In the last year, Pepco has installed smart meters for 99% of their customers in the District and 92% of their customers in Maryland. Marcus Beal, a spokesman for Pepco, says they've received complaints from only a very small percentage of those customers.
"All scientific evidence all says the meters are safe. They're aren't any health concerns," said Beal.
Smart meters are currently being deployed by power companies all over the county. Dominion Power has yet to install any smart meters in Northern Virginia, but they're currently being tested in Richmond. Supporters say they're safe, save money, and are easy on the environment . But opponents argue that, until the scientific community can reach a consensus on the safety of smart meters, they want the right to opt-in instead of opting-out.
"I think it's not fair. We're not lab rats," said Simon. "We should be able to decide in our own homes how much radiation we have. " -- Kristin Fisher

This is what I saw when I opened my eyes this morning.
I'm so,so done with this weather!!!
Who needs snow in March?? ..I certainly don't!
These are fun...but i don't need them either!
Oh Corry, I know just how you feel! Hang in there, the sunny days and green grass must surely be coming soon. Please, please let them be coming soon!!! :)
wow that is unusual for your area! they are calling for rain or snow here today. I think I would like rain, as you don't have to shovel it. Chin up and go look for a crocus sprouting!
I feel badly for you, but it does look a little pretty.
How I understand you!!!
I desperatly need vitamin d too!
The snow was gone within a blink, but I also long for sun and warmer temperatures. In 3 weeks time we will put the clock forward, I hope Spring will be there soon!
I know how you feel, I also hope the sun.
I live in the south of Portugal where the sun shines all year, but we are living with rain since November.
Poor you, my brother lives in Rijswijk, Den Haag and he's always twittering about more snow, i can imagine your fed up of it, sending you hugs and groetjes voor fijne zonnig weer. xxbirgitta
Awe I'm sorry you've had snow again. :( I'm sure this is not going to make you feel any better but we've had a lovely sunny day today. I'm sure your sunny days are coming soon!
Vivienne x
I need vitamin d,c, and e...lol. I was sooooooo tired today.
Aqui em Portugal não para de chover. Não estou nada habituada. Amo o Sol:)))e já tenho saudades!
Those boots are cute :)
Sorry you got more snow, we are grateful in the U.k to have a bit of sun for a change.
hang in there Corrie - the Spring must be on its way! Here in Australia the cooler weather has just hit with a bit of drizzly rain. I had to bring out the drying rack for the first time this year and had that sense of foreboading that our sunny days are numbered!
Nothing left now from our recent record-setting NY snow. The day was actually pretty warm for early March. All the same, I am so on your page.
Just want to get on with the beauty and recovery mode that spring always gives us ... eventually.
Your posts are always a joy to visit. Cheers!
I'm feeling a little off today too Corry. Hope you pop out of it soon. We have spring-like weather, but we're about to get another little cold snap. It'll probably kill all my lovely flowers and buds. :( *sigh*
I'll quite happily take your snow. The weather here in Tasmania has been muggie for so long, I'm over being sweaty all the time.
i'd be happy to give you some of our blue skies and sunshine. yesterday we had one of our first grey days in months and it was so nice to sit inside and knit and craft with the kids - my idea of bliss.
here's hoping you get blue skies soon
I SOOOOOOOOOO know what you mean! Winter feels ETERNAL and I am checking the ground daily for a sprig of crocus or a bulb of hyacinth to come bursting forth...so far, nada. :-(
But I DO love the canned ham (camper) and car...I am chomping at the bit to get our little canned ham rolling again this year...
And the dutch wellies are WONDERFUL! Hoping spring "springs" your way soon!
Hello Corry,
I know that 'down' winter feeling. It's not good for me, even here in sunny Sydney, Australia, I count the days during mid-winter.
Despite prediction for rain, we had a lovely sunny weekend. I planted parsley, lettuce and some autumn spinach. Our winters are not so severe so herbs and some winter veges do quite well.
I love the bright dutch colours in your pictures.
And it is perfectly splendid to hear from your readers all over the globe. Thank you for this lovely blog that we enjoy following so much.
Same here, but I hope the sun is shining in your neck of the woods today! I love the Delfts blauw caravan photo too ;-) Have a nice week!
I so know how you are feeling we are also getting snow. But we have to have it in March and alittle in April or we ran out of water before summer is over. So I just keep remembering that and it helps me get by tell May!
Terwijl de rest van Nederland aardig wit was, scheen hier een heerlijk zonnetje en geen sneeuw te bekennen! En hopelijk blijft dat nu ook zo, ben ook helemaal toe aan de lente!
Gave laarzen trouwens!
After a very mild Feb..we woke up to a wintery mix. Sigh. Luv the boots :)
I sooooo understand you. Snow in Vilnius too... and -19С at night! What are they thinking up there in the weather department?! And, of course, I'm sick and my little one is sick. We all need lots of sun to compensate for this cold. Hold on, I hope sun is already coming.
My dear, don't complain! I am from Roemenie here we had a very bad winter , with -25 degrees. Today it was -5 degrees . I think I liev in a nightmere. So think that it could be possible to be worth.
I wish you a fijne avond !!!
A was reading another blog and she said that when the sun came out she took her clothes off and laid down to soak it up!
It looks beautiful from here, we're ready to pass the heat back to the northern hemisphere now and enjoy some cooler weather for a few months.
I'm with you Corry...I know our vacation rejuvenated me.
Gelukkig is de sneeuw nu weer weg, het zonnetje is heerlijk maar achter glas, want de wind bederft het steeds, jammer! Ik ben helemaal toe aan de lente! Ik ben wat verlaat hier, omdat ik vrij veel tijd steek in mijn blog projectje, maar ik probeer toch alles bij te houden hoor! Fijne dag!
The Delft boots and caravan are so cool. I have a tiny Delft collection of things loved ones have brought me from Holland. I saved your two pictures - might show them on my blog (if that's all right) with a link to your blog.

Mr. President, let me begin by putting the following on the record: Everything we just heard — from the world's worst abusers of human rights, of women's rights, of freedom of religion, of the press, of assembly, of speech — is absolutely false; and, indeed, Orwellian....This speech caused a minor furor in Algeria.
Israel's 1.5 million Arabs, whatever challenges they face, enjoy full rights to vote and to be elected in the Knesset, they work as doctors and lawyers, they serve on the Supreme Court.Now I'd like to ask the members of that commission, that commissioned that report, the Arab states from which we just heard. Egypt, Iraq, and the others:How many Jews live in your countries? How many Jews live in Egypt, Iraq, Jordan, Kuwait, Lebanon, Libya, Morocco?Once upon a time, the Middle East was full of Jews.Algeria had 140,000 Jews. Algeria, where are your Jews?Egypt used to have 75,000 Jews. Where are your Jews?Syria, you had tens of thousands of Jews. Where are your Jews?Iraq, you had over 135,000 Jews. Where are your Jews?Mr. President, where is the apartheid?
A columnist for Algerian paper Echorouk Online attempts to answer the question by claiming that the Jews of Algeria greeted the French occupiers with joy, and when the French soldiers looted the Muslim homes, the Jews bought their stolen goods cheap.
So, of course, they deserved to be terrorized, murdered and ethnically cleansed, according to this Algerian columnist.
These are lies, of course. Here's the truth about the Jews of Algeria, from Lyn Julius:
Far from being colonial, Jewish roots go back 2,700 years when Jewish traders arrived in North Africa with the Phoenicians, 1,000 years before Islam; and the first Jewish slaves and expellees from Judea settled among the Berbers soon after the destruction of the 2nd Temple. Some Berber tribes were said to have converted to Judaism. The most famous Jewish Berber of all, the warrior Queen Kahina, fought the Arab Muslim invaders in the 7th century – in vain.
The toshavim, the settled indigenous Jews who managed to survive islamisation, were joined in the 15th century by the megorashim, Jews escaping the Spanish Inquisition. Under Ottoman rule, most Jews lived in abject misery as dhimmis – inferior subjects under Islam. One 19th century traveller, Signor Pananti, wrote: "there is no species of outrage or vexation to which they are not exposed…the indolent Moor, with a pipe in his mouth and his legs crossed, calls any Jew who is passing, and makes him perform the offices of a servant…. Even fountains were happier, at least they were allowed to murmur."
No wonder then, when Algeria became part of metropolitan France in 1830, the oppressed Jews greeted the French as saviors and liberators. Forty years later the Decret Cremieux, named after a famous Jewish politician and philanthropist, imposed French nationality on the entire Jewish community.
The myth has since developed that only the Jews were offered French nationality. The Muslims were offered it too, but overwhelmingly rejected it, as it would mean compromising their personal status, which was governed by Muslim law.
In Muslim eyes, the fact that the dhimmi Jews could have greater rights than they did caused great resentment. But the Jews were also resented by the pieds noirs. How dare these natives be given the privilege of French nationality and suppose themselves equal to true Frenchmen?
The Jews found themselves between a rock and a hard place. Muslim antisemitism reached its peak with the eruption of the Constantine pogrom of 1934, in which 25 Jews were killed. French antisemitism reached its zenith with the WW2 abrogation of the Decret Cremieux. Under Vichy rule, Jews not only were stripped of their French nationality, but were sacked from public service jobs and subject to quotas and restrictions.
The Decret Cremieux was reinstated in 1943. In some Jews, the trauma of having their French citizens' rights taken away created an absolute dread of being identified with Arabs: they were Frenchmen of the Jewish faith – francais israelites.
But as the Arabs embarked on an ever more brutal campaign of decolonisation in the 1950s, while the pieds noirs engaged in equally brutal counter-terror, the Jewish community was careful to maintain an official position of neutrality – although in retrospect, the killing of rabbis and bombings of synagogues looked deliberate enough. Some Jews supported the FLN independence fighters. A minority of anti-French Jewish communists earned the title 'pieds rouges'.
The Jews could sit on the fence no longer when two events forced them decisively into the French camp: the first was the burning of the Great synagogue in Algiers in December 1960. Arabs went on the rampage ripping memorial plaques from the walls, and torching books and Torah scrolls. The second was the murder in June 1961, while he was out shopping in the market, of the famous Jewish musician, Sheikh Raymond Leyris, a symbol of a shared Arab-Jewish culture and father-in-law of the singer Enrico Macias.
Like the pieds noirs, the Jews were faced with a stark choice: suitcase or coffin. They scrambled to reach seaports and airports. By the time Algeria had declared independence on 3 July 1962, all but a few thousand Jews had left for France.
The watchword was now 'Muslim Algeria' not 'Algeria for the Algerians.' No 'foreigner,' even those who had fought for the FLN, was awarded Algerian nationality, unless they had a Muslim father. There was no place for Jews in the new Algeria, as there is no place for Jews anywhere in the Arab world.
