10,000 Leagues: This is the pendant I donated to Alliance Francais for their 75th anniversary banquet and auction. The theme is "Un Voyage Extraordinaire: The World of Jules Verne", who was one of their founding members.
Saturday, March 22nd at the JW Marriott in New Orleans
10,000 Leagues: This is the pendant I donated to Alliance Francais for their 75th anniversary banquet and auction. The theme is "Un Voyage Extraordinaire: The World of Jules Verne", who was one of their founding members.
Hand Engraved Pirate Ship Pendant: Let's face it. No one lived as free or as merry as pirates. The very embodiments of incentive driven, unadulterated, liberty. Beholden to no law or government, answerable to no man, without regret or inhibition, the buccaneers roamed the open sea in search of treasure and adventure. The modern age was none too kind to this lifestyle nor those who lived it, and in the words of Black Bart Roberts, it was "a short life but a merry one."
It was common practice for sailors to carve or engrave personal objects during the long hours of a voyage. From whales, to ships, mermaids, or barmaids, anything and everything would be emblazoned on bone, wood, metal, and even their own skins.
Perhaps you can't rig a ship and strike for open waters but you can own a token of their legacy. This 25mm, solid brass tag has been painstakingly engraved with the finest details of a beautiful 3 masted ship, can be worn as a necklace, tag, or key chain, and will show everyone your longing to live a life that's totally free.
Can be further engraved with a name, logo or a personalized message of the back of the tag for an additional fee.
Vault Locket: For those items of unspeakable value, you can't do much better than a vault. Now you can keep your treasured item right around your neck! This locket was designed to mimic the sturdy, impregnable security of a bank vault, while keeping the delicate beauty of a well made locket. It won't hold your gold bullion or bearer bonds, but it can keep a photo, coin, ring, jewel or other small valuable safely sealed away from prying eyes or sticky fingers. Feel the security and dependability of a massive vault, miniaturized for personal adornment.
28mm in diameter. It has a twist locking mechanism so the lid comes entirely off. The inside chamber is 15mm in diameter and 10mm deep. Pictured in Sterling Silver but available in Brass, Gold, and even Platinum upon request. Price varies based upon material.
Sterling Silver $300
One of a kind pendant now available for purchase!
"TARDIS Pendant": As you probably know, the Chameleon Circuit on the Tardis is faulty. During one of his adventures the Doctor ended up being stranded in a world populated by giants. While under normal circumstances the Chameleon Circuit would've kept everything in proper proportion, it shorted out completely and forever miniaturized the Tardis. It was long ago abandoned and can now be enjoyed in a whole new way. (Don't worry, it's still bigger on the inside)
Handmade from brass and found objects, this one of a kind pendant houses a small LED that lights the windows and top light. Batteries are easily replaceable.
Measures 1"wide x 3"long
The Crimson Eye of Isis: This beautiful pendant was recently uncovered inside a sepulcher in the ruins of Isis' redoubt. Isis was the goddess of Slaves, Sinners, Artists, and the downtrodden, which in many cases are one and the same. She is a source of power to warriors, women, and most importantly warrior women. Thought to have been worn by Isis herself, and believed to contain some of the life blood of her husband Osiris, this pendant is imbued with traits that increase the power of any woman, and instills the wearer with might known only to the Goddess herself.
A unique piece created by the artist, the red "eye" catches the light brilliantly and the pendant lies delicately about the wearer's neck on twisted jeweler's cord.
Handmade from Brass, Resin, and PVC tubing.
Measures 1" wide x 2.5" long
Hand Engraved Fish Pendant: For centuries humans have had a direct connection to fish. Observing the natural grace and beauty in their movement is known to have soothing, meditative benefits and has inspired songs, murals, poetry and dance. Watching fish swim lowers blood pressure and deepens breathing, reduces anxiety, and promotes wellness.
This beautiful pendant is cast in solid Sterling Silver which has been fully hand engraved and highly polished. Two swooping fish gracefully swim around each other while dozens of hand cut scales glitter in any light. They will keep you feeling peaceful and serene.
Pairs beautifully with the Hand Engraved Fish Earrings, forming a complete set.
Chain available by request for an additional $40.
Measures 3.5" by 1"
Solid Sterling Silver
This is a custom pendant designed to resemble a personal Submersible from the video game BIOSHOCK, now available for purchase.
The Bathysphere was a personal un-powered submarine used for research and observation. It was in essence a large sphere that would be lowered into the ocean. It would maintain pressure and a breathable atmosphere for a fixed amount of time and would then be retrieved. It could hold passengers or simply an array of sensors. In BIOSHOCK they are used for transportation via a network of rails.
The main hatch porthole and spotlight lens are composed of resin. The hatch is held closed with a magnet. The interior light is visible through the hatch, but to fully appreciate the detail you have to open the door.The main hatch swings open to reveal the control room.The back plate twists off to allow access to the battery box. The blue push button activates the lights. Entirely hand formed brass with an oxidized patina. Overall size is 2" in diameter and 1.75 " thick.
Gold Bearing Brass Pneumo: This piece was made by me during the last semester of my senior year at University.
This is my first, and I feel strongest, design in the Pnuemo series. I wanted to deal with the concept of containment and conveyance and I thought specifically about the air powered message tubes that banks use.
In a world of financial uncertainty and with precious metal costs at levels higher than ever before, should trends continue it may become practical and even fashionable to wear precious metal "investments" around your neck. While we already do this in ornamentation, I wanted to take that concept and apply it in an industrial and more practical sense. Rather than having something made from precious material merely as decoration, the pendant becomes a conveyor of wealth that could be traded and used as currency. This is the spirit that I try to convey with the Pneumo series: Small practical containers that convey riches and stay very close to the owner. Closeness, Security, Investment, Containment, Conveyance.
1.75" long, 0.75" in diameter on a 16" jeweler's cord. Composed of Brass, Sterling Silver, 24 Karat Gold Flake, & Mother of Pearl

Weird News – Scientists Grow New Hair on Balding Men
"Scientists have successfully grown new hair follicles from the skin cells of balding men. While the research team (abstract) hasn't yet shown whether the structures, which produce strands of hair on our bodies, are fully functional and usable for transplants onto a scalp, experts say the discovery is a significant step toward finding new treatments for hair loss. Previous attempts used standard two-dimensional cell culturing techniques, but the new works grows the follicles in suspended droplets, better replicating the 3-D environment of the body. Using one's own cells to generate new follicles is useful because hair color and thickness will match perfectly with the rest of someone's head of hairs. And with the new technique, clinicians would be able to take just a few dermal papilla cells from a balding patient and expand the number of hair follicles available for transplant, rather than only be able to move follicles around."
… figures no cure for cancer—but when it comes to penis pills and hair, we're number one.

Synthetic Gypsum: An Eco-Friendly Drywall Alternative
Green Architect
Gypsum board, also known as wallboard, sheetrock or most commonly drywall, is the most common form of finish wall sheathing. Common drywall is made of gypsum plaster sandwiched between two thick layers of paper, and makes for a very smooth finish. As with many other materials, the gypsum industry has found a way to incorporate recycled materials into drywall, which makes for a less energy intensive product, while also keeping a by-product of coal-fired power plants out of the landfill.
In 1970, the U.S. Congress implemented the Clean Air Act, which was designed to protect and improve the nation's air quality and the stratospheric ozone layer. This law was amended in 1990, and one of the amendments required power plants to reduce their sulfur dioxide emissions. To comply with this law, chemical scrubbers are used to remove sulfur from the flue gases of coal-fired power plants. According to Environmental Building News, the chemistry of this process is really elegant: sulfur dioxide in the flue gases reacts with the calcium carbonate to produce calcium sulfite, and this calcium sulfite is converted into gypsum by oxidizing it with water. The by-product of this process is synthetic gypsum, also known as flue-gas-desulfurization (FGD) gypsum, which is nearly chemically identical to virgin gypsum that is extracted from gypsum mines.
In the 1990s the gypsum industry recognized that using synthetic gypsum could not only save them money, but that there were also environmental benefits of the by-product. Whereas natural gypsum is obtained from gypsum mines, synthetic gypsum can be used to replace this limited resource, and gypsum companies can save energy by locating their production facilities near synthetic gypsum producing power plants. If the gypsum industry wasn't using this by-product in drywall, the FGD would just be sent to a landfill.
Many companies are now using synthetic gypsum exclusively in their drywall, or a blend of natural and synthetic — more than half of all drywall companies use some form of synthetic gypsum, and almost all of the drywall factories built in the last decade are synthetic gypsum facilities.

May I say, WTF? FGD gypsum is POISON. It is TOXIC. It contains mercury, arsenic, and other really bad stuff that they will not allow in the air - but it is ok in the walls of our homes. Look for this junk in your trendy "recycled" ceramic tile, and where you cut vegetables on your cool "recycled" content cement countertops. Are you people CRAZY? How can you sleep at night knowing you are poisoning children? SHAME ON YOU. Reader beware of the word "recycled" when used in building products. Just because it is green for the planet doesn't mean it's green for your family.

More reviews by xXxSceneeQueenxXx
I saw many reviews on Revlon color stay so i decided to get it. i have really oily seen so i got the combination/oily skin in ivory. i was so excited to try it but when i did i hated it. it said it lasts for 16 hours when i put it on it was gone in like 2 hours. it made my skin more oily then what it usually is. And it made me breakout really bad. I wouldn't recommend it if you have oily skin and acne prone skin. And if you want good coverage.
2 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
Tried this stuff in hopes of a cheaper day to day foundation. I've tried tons of different foundations (HE and DS) throughout the years. As a result of oily, acne prone skin I have been satisfied by very little. The only foundation I had found thus far that I like is MUFE HD foundation, which I wear in 118.
This doesn't fade, doesn't apply streaky, and doesn't advertise my occasional dry spots from healing acne. Medium coverage initally, but more if you work with it. As other reviewers say, it dries FAST.
I apply with a Sonya Kashuk flat top brush. I dot it on and buff it out before applying another dot. This keeps it from setting up the dotted area. The color selection isn't wonderful. The sand beige is believable enough with its yellow undertones, however it doesn't turn me into a simpsons character.
This is my new day to day, saving MUFE for big events.
I have been using Revlon Colorstay Foundation for a few years now and recently changed to MAC Studio Fix just to try it out because I was impressed with their colour range... BIG MISTAKE. I started to break out straightaway after only using it for 5 days and I looked ORANGE! I threw that junk out and went back to my faithful Colorstay!
I LOVE Revlon Colorstay and only decided to try MAC because I hate the fact that there's no pump. Since then I have bought a set of 2 airless pump bottles on Ebay, 30ml each so they fit the Colorstay perfectly. Kind of a pain to pour it into the bottles, but I'm willing to deal with it.
Colorstay retails for $37.95 in Australia, which is kind of expensive but not as dear as say Dior or Chanel foundation. I have no problem paying this much for Colorstay because it really is the BEST I have found so far.
On work days I leave home at 6am and get home at 8:30pm and my foundation is still fresh and has not slid off when I get home. It is definitely non-transferable.
I will definitely keep buying this product for many years to come. I'm just sorry that I paid $48.00 to try the MAC Studio Fix... what a waste of my time and money!
Smells a bit like paint but you get used to it... I never even notice the smell anymore.
I squirt onto an old CD and use my MAC 187 Stippling brush for a perfect airbrushed look. Covers my many acne scars wonderfully!
I definitely recommend buying Revlon Colorstay and investing in a good brush too!

i dont understand the big hype with this foundation , i saw all the amazing reviews and decided to try it ,it is far too quick drying and leaves u with lines in places even when applied perfectly or with a damp sponge it also looks so cakey its unreal HORRIBLE foundation
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
LOOOVE IT!~. Wish it had a pump, but other than that this is awesome. It also DOES last all day, never transfers and it natural looking. Love it.
the number one thing that you invest on your makeup is having a good foundation.
i've been using MAC Studio Fix Fluid for 3 years now, until last week, i've purchased the Revlon ColorStay Liquid Foundation, because most of the reviews i've watched, they say its comparable with the MAC one, so me, girl on a budget, tried this one, and i must say,! it blew me away!!
i love this product!
getting same coverage, flawless on my skin, easy to apply and blend, very comparable to MAC studio fix fluid and most af all, way cheaper than the MAC one!, what more can you ask for!!
This is my favorite foundation. I used to buy the dry skin formulation because I had horribly dry skin. I started using the Maybelline 24 hour foundation but now it makes my skin SUPER oily and doesn't stay put. I just re-bought the Revlon in 180 Sand Beige for oily skin and I fell in love all over again. The color matches my skin tone perfectly and it stays put pretty much all day or night without feeling oily or looking oily. It doesn't dry my skin out at all. Yes, it dries really fast, but I always apply my foundation in small sections so that isn't really a negative for me. This is my holy grail, I just wish it had a pump but nothing is perfect and if that is the only thing I personally find wrong with this foundation, so be it!
This foundation is amazing. I have super oily skin and this foundation lasts all day without even trying. I may start getting a slightly oily tzone by the late afternoon, but all my makeup is still in place. This foundation will stay on your face until you choose to remove it.
It has really good coverage, which is great. If you like a lighter foundation, then this might not be for you. It is a thicker foundation, but it does not break me out.
The only problem with this is that it dries really quickly so you need to apply it in small sections of your face or else you won't have time to blend it in. But overall, I love this foundation.
This foundation has good coverage and I don't know if it really stays on all day but it's pretty good. I wear 240 medium beige Normal/dry skin. I've heard that the other formula for oily skin can be really dry and make your skin blotchy but not this formula. So far I have not had any break outs and I've been using for almost a year now.
This foundation is very, very full coverage and it's really thick. Definitely a night time foundation. I bought the dry skin version and it still makes my skin appear quite dry and crispy so i would recomment oily skinned people still give the dry formula a try.
I gave this product a 2 on the packaging quality because it isn't a pump bottle, therefor you can't judge just how much your getting as easy as a pump.

Comments by Sara Ozacky-Lazar at Tuba-Zangariya06 October 2011
October 6 is a day of great pain for my generation that went through the Yom Kippur War and lost our best friends. But it is also a day of modesty, when we lost our illusions and we perceived in the cruelest way that it was impossible to solve the conflict between Israel and its neighbors with military might, and that it was not possible to live here and triumph using the sword. Since then, 38 blood-soaked years of war have passed as well as attempts to pave different paths to peace and reconciliation.
So once again it is October 6 and the eve of Yom Kippur, and once again we witness inexplicable violence, arrogance, blunt and harmful designed to light up a flame, which is alien to us.
Over the past summer a different spirit swept the country blowing aside for the moment differences of nationality, religion, class and gender and generating a feeling of a rejuvenated Israeli identity struggling for joint values and respecting all men and citizens.
The despicable act carried out here at a mosque in the heart of Tuba-Zangariya is aimed at murdering this spirit, to rekindle hatred and fear, to sabotage the path to peace and tolerance and mutual respect, and perpetuate the vicious circle of destruction and bloodshed, and sow despair and dread.
We have come here, representatives of dozens of organizations, and rank and file individuals, to tell you that we support you and that today we are all Tuba-Zangariya. We do not distinguish between praying in a mosque or a synagogue, between Muslim and Jew, between religious and secular and between men and women.
We have come here to protest this crime and call on Israel's law enforcement authorities to find the guilty parties before they can repeat these crimes, and root them out of society and punish them with the full force of the law.
In the name of NIF, I apologize to the residents of Tuba-Zangariya, and the entire Muslim community in Israel. NIF is the leading and most important organization in the struggle for democracy and civil rights in Israel, and in efforts to protect religious pluralism and freedom of opinion and expression, and NIF places at the top of its agenda creating a society based on joint living and equality between Jews and Arabs in Israel.
We will continue to work harder to bring back Israel's human and democratic character and to prevent the descent of all of us into the abyss of darkness in to which those who perpetrated this act of terror on the mosque are trying to drag us.
These are days of asking for forgiveness and I ask you for your forgiveness. These are days of soul searching and that is what I am doing up here on the stage together will all of you - we have not done enough to prevent this act, we were not alert enough t the danger and we did not warn about it in a loud enough voice.
We must work together more strenuously to erase this disgrace and to prevent its recurrence and to protect the image of God and man.
Because we are all citizens of this land which is so extremely dear to us, and because we all live together in this country and the same sunshine illuminates our way ahead and is the source of our lives. We will not let these people drive us apart and make hell of our lives.
Thank you all the residents of Tuba-Zangariya for welcoming us here today at such a difficult time for you. We hope to return here again and again in better times.Add a comment
We're Fighting for the Soul of Our Community09 August 2011
The Washington Post published this weekend two articles related to Israel that, at first glance, may appear unrelated, but are as good as an example as I have seen of late of the disconnect between Israel and the American Jewish community.
On Sunday, the Post ran "Israelis stage massive economic protests," which details the strength of the public voice of debate and dissent in Israel. Though opposition opinion has sadly been under siege of late in Israel, there nevertheless remains a culture in Israel that promotes and respects the airing of differing views. In the picture that accompanies the story, one can see an Arabic language sign, indicating the willingness and ability of Israeli Arabs to participate in these protests. Not only does this provide a remarkable juxtaposition with protests throughout the Arab world, but it also reminded me of an article from the previous day.
In Saturday's "Theater J incident illustrates larger dialogue on Israel at Jewish institutions," the Post demonstrated how the vibrant protests and debate underway in Israel are simply not possible in the American Jewish community. Although Israelis were debating economic policy, rather than settlements, such political protests are also commonplace in Israel. Yet in the American Jewish community, we no longer seem able to practice our Jewish religious (and artistic) heritage, which is rooted in honest debate and disagreement -- indeed, the Hebrew word for "struggle" is at the core of the Hebrew word "Yisrael."
Theater J's Director, Ari Roth, summed this issue up best in the Saturday article when he said, "Look at what we're doing: We're fighting for the soul of our community. We are enacting dramas, and the subject is the embattled soul of the Jewish people. It's a community and a people that are split and torn, and we sit on the seams of that divide and we need to reflect that schism: that person who looks deeply at himself, and is divided." That is the essence of the word "struggle," the core of what the community should be celebrating, not censoring.Add a comment
Sadly, it would appear that those who have pushed to marginalize the Peace Cafe and other brave efforts byTheater J have abandoned both the teachings of their culture and the lessons being taught by Jews and Arabs in Israel: if you believe that what you stand for is just, you should not be afraid to defend it against those who disagree. Perhaps this indeed is the best evidence of all that the settlements and related policies put under the microscope by Theater J are simply indefensible.
The Rat Race And The March Of Folly29 July 2011
The wave of protests that are splashing over Israel represent, first and foremost, the middle class' recognition – at long last – that it is powerless to hold its own in the mad competition that has been forced upon it: military service involving the loss of three years of income, college studies, the purchase of a decent condominium, the high cost of raising children, and the high cost of basic foods. The mad competition, in turn, is the product of the increasing concentration of wealth in the hands of the few – the top ten percent of income earners, and among them, the top one percent and the top .1%. The increasing wealth at the top enables a small minority to determine new standards in every area of life: a one-family dwelling with a yard or a condo in a prestigious new city tower in Tel Aviv; kindergartens that purport to increase children's IQ, elementary schools for the gifted, arts and sciences high schools, private colleges, and luxury consumer goods.
Young middle-class people, aware of the new standards, realize that this is a race they cannot win, a race that turns them into rats caught in a maze. In the 1960s, American students called it the rat race.
For its part, the government of Israel washes its hands in the ideology of the free market and is willing, at most, to admit that there are a few "market failures." But ideology is a matter of geography, and in our case, the free market ideology stops at the border between Israel and the West Bank. On the other side of the Green Line, the government – like all recent governments of Israel – continues to take the initiative and lead the largest national civilian project undertaken in Israel since the 1967 war – the settlements. This ongoing undertaking is a march of folly not only because it costs a huge amount of money: it also guarantees the continuation of the conflict between Israel and the Palestinians.
It is an undertaking involving huge expenditures to which there appears to be no end. Perhaps the construction of homes need not be taken into account, as persons living in the settlements would still have needed homes had they chosen to remain within the Green Line. However, a home in a settlement is less expensive for the settler but very expensive for every other Israeli: settlements involve expensive infrastructures, expensive by-pass roads, a separation wall, armored transportation, generous public services, income tax and municipal tax breaks, development subsidies and housing purchase assistance.
The real costs are higher still: special military installations built to protect the settlements and their access roads, military activity in which all units of the infantry need to take part, and special budgetary outlays in times of increased hostilities. Since the first Intifada, the defense budget has received additional allocations for "events in the territories" amounting to $13.5 billion.
Who pays? Tax-payers, and, among them, members of the middle class. The same people called upon to patrol and to scout and to fight – the middle class, which is the backbone of the Israel Defense Forces.
So what do we have here? We have a state of Israel with a split personality, a two-faced state. On the Israeli side of the Green Line, it says to the middle class: "It's not my job to correct the situation," while on the occupied side of the Green Line it says: "I'll do it! I'll do it! I'll initiate. I'll invest. I'll build. I'll take care of you." What we have is a highly pro-active state on the east side of the Green line and a free market state on west side of the Green Line. A democratic state with a free market here, and an occupier state with state socialism for settlers there.
The rat race and the march of folly. Has Israel reached the breaking point?

Window to a New World05 August 2011
Last Saturday night, at the demonstration in Jerusalem, I looked around and I saw a red river flowing in the streets. There were thousands of people there, people who haven't raised their voices for years, people who had lost all hope for change, people who had closed themselves off inside their troubles and despair.
It wasn't easy for them to join the rhythmic shouts of the young people with the speakers. Maybe it was the embarrassment of someone who isn't used to raising a voice in public, a person who is afraid to shout out loud and even more afraid to shout out as part of a large group. For a few moments I felt that we, the marchers, looked at ourselves with a fair degree of wonder and some uncertainty, not entirely sure of ourselves, or in what is bubbling up from within us: are we really "the masses," an angry mob, fists in the air, like we saw recently during demonstrations in Tunis, Egypt, Syria and Greece? Do we really want to be that kind of mob? Do we really mean what we've been shouting rhythmically, "R-E-V-O-L-U-T-I-O-N"? And what will happen if we are "too successful," and the fragile bands of this country start to crack? And what if this protest and the heat turns into anarchy?
But after a few steps something happens, gets into the blood. The rhythm, the movement, the togetherness. Not a threatening, faceless "unity," but rather unity-not-unison, mosaic-like and messy, like a family, with a strong feeling of—here we are, doing the right thing. And then the shock comes—where were we up to now? How did we let this happen?
How could we have made peace with the fact that the government we elected has turned out healthcare and our children's education into luxuries? How could we not have shouted and screamed when the Finance Ministry crushed the social workers, and before them—the disabled, the Holocaust survivors, the elderly and the retirees? How, for years, could we have pushed the hungry and the poor to soup kitchens and to charitable organizations for a life of humiliation, how could we have abandoned foreign workers to the people hunting and chasing them? How could we have abandoned them to trafficking in workers and women? How could we have made peace with the destructive displays of privatization while at the same time breaking down everything that was important to us—solidarity, responsibility, mutual assistance and a feeling of being connected to another nation?
It is well known that there were many reasons for this apathy, but the deep split surrounding the question of the occupation, in my view, is the thing that disrupted more than anything the control and warning systems in Israeli society. Our evil and diseased qualities as a society rose to the surface, and we—perhaps because of our fear to stand, eyes wide open, opposite the full reality of our lives—we enthusiastically dedicated ourselves to all kinds of people who would dull our senses, who would cause us to suppress the reality. Sometimes we looked at ourselves: some of us really liked what we saw; some of us were appalled. But even those who were appalled said, "well, that's the way it is." They called it "the situation," as if it were fate or a heavenly decree. In addition, we allowed commercial television to fill up our collective consciousness and to dictate for us the terms of our fights for survival and predation, to split us apart from one another and to denigrate anyone weaker than us or different and "not pretty" and not rich. It has been many years since we have spoken to one another, and certainly many years since we have listened, because how—in this atmosphere of "catch what you can"—can we do it without trampling one another, without violence. Isn't this what they're telling and showing us, in every possible way—that it's every man for himself?
And the more we exhausted ourselves with unending denials, so we have become better fodder for control and manipulation and stupidity, victims of a subtle and effective "divide and conquer." And thus, from money to money, from money to power, and to the press, our dealings with critical questions took a dive and became questions like "who loves this country and who hates it," "who is faithful to it and who is a traitor," who is a "good Jew" and who has "forgotten that he is Jewish." Every rational discussion has been buried in a thick dough of kitsch and sentimentalism, the kitsch of patriotism and nationalism, the kitsch of self-righteousness and of victimhood, and slowly the ability to analyze soberly what is going on here became blocked, and at the end of the day Israel finds itself acting and behaving—towards its own citizens —in complete contrast to the values and the world view that were once its very soul and its inimitability.
But here, all of a sudden, and in contrast to all the predictions, something is rising up. People are waking up, opening up to something that isn't entirely clear yet, where it is all going, and there are no words yet precisely to describe it all, or completely to understand it, but it is becoming more clear and crystallizing while calling out these slogans, which are all of a sudden blossoming from a cliche into live feelings, "The Entire Nation Demands Social Justice!", "We Want Justice, Not Charity" and other sayings taken from other times, and once in a while there is a feeling in the air that there is a path to recovery, to mending, and this forgotten thing comes back to us, our self-respect, of the individual Israeli and of Israelis as a whole.
There is an unbelievable power, a power which is also a bit deceiving and intoxicating, in this awakening. It is enticing to be swept away by euphoria— and in the renewal of youth—that the new movement has inspired. It is easy to err with the misconception that once again, we are destroying an old world to the very foundations. But that's not exactly right: the old world wasn't all bad. There were great accomplishments, too, some of which will make it possible for the current protest movement to achieve some of its goals, as well as the freedom to express these desires. Therefore, this struggle must use entirely different language than struggles we've had here previously. Above all, it must be based on dialogue; it must be inclusive rather than exclude people, ideological and not sectoral and opportunistic. It shouldn't be "every tent for itself." This is the way for the protest movement to maintain the widespread public support it currently enjoys. A certain amount of vagueness by the protest movement makes it possible for every group within the movement to hold different and opposing political opinions and beliefs but still—for the first time in decades—to form a common human, civilian platform, and even to feel pride about being part of this community. Who in Israel can allow himself to relinquish these precious resources?
This protest movement and the waves of aftermath offer an opportunity for people who haven't spoken to one another for decades finally to speak to one another. Different layers of society who are far removed from one another. Religious and secular, Arabs and Jews. Inside this process of identifying what unites us, there can also be a renewed dialogue between right and left wing, a discussion based on reality and more empathetic—for example, the left's apathy with regard to people who lost their homes in Gush Katif, the settlers' open wound—the type of discussion that could salvage what's left of our mutual responsibility, something that a country in our current state cannot afford to let go of. In other words, if the spirit behind this movement really is to be found in the words of Amir Gilboa—"All of a sudden a man wakes up one morning and feels he is an entire nation and he begins to move," then the movement must now continue on and sing, "and he said 'shalom' to everything he met."
It is easy to criticize the steps of this young movement. And in general —it is always easier to find reasons to say "no" than to get up and make bold, brave steps. But anyone who listens to the mercies of the protesters hearts — not only on Rothschild Boulevard, but also in south Tel Aviv, in Ashdod, in the lower socio-economic neighborhoods of Jerusalem and Haifa and Ma'alot-Tarshiha—understands that we may have opened a window here to a new future. The time is right for such a process, and surprise surprise!—there are people, at long last, who are joining the fight. Maybe that's what one young woman meant when she came up to me at a demonstration in Jerusalem and said, "look! The leadership is still terrible, but the people aren't anymore."

Something is happening here26 July 2011
26 July 2011
Something is Happening Here
I have been living in Palestine/Israel as an activist and politically engaged citizen for nearly two years now, and I have never seen anything like this.
As many of you may have heard, over the past two weeks a group of Israeli twenty-somethings, fed up with the high (and getting increasingly higher) cost of living in Tel Aviv and throughout Israel, set up a tent city on Rothschild Boulevard, the symbol of middle-class Tel Aviv bourgeoisie (here is a brief overview from the NYTimes). The demonstration quickly blossomed, and within days hundreds more set up tents all the way up the boulevard, with thousands more visiting in solidarity. As of today, the tents reached all the way from Habima to beyond Rechov Mazeh (for those of you who know Tel Aviv).
Responding to the government's retorts that these young people are "spoiled," urban Tel Aviv elitists, solidarity tent cities sprung up overnight in Beer Sheva, Jerusalem, Ashdod, Kiryat Shemona (other cities around Israel, many in the periphery) and more, attesting to the fact that this crisis is in fact nationwide.
From there, the protests grew. An estimated thirty thousand people gathered Saturday night in the center of Tel Aviv. People are angry that the the cost of living is spiraling out of control, and that the neoliberal policies adopted by the Israeli establishment since the mid-1980s have decimated the welfare state into oblivion. I've been riding the left-wing protest circuit for nearly two years, but I've never seen anything like this – I've never seen this kind of energy, this kind of emotion. I've never seen this many people. Approximately thirty activists were arrested for blocking a major intersection in the middle of Tel Aviv, while they shouted "Assad, Mubarak, Bibi" (referring to Binyamin "Bibi" Netanyahu, Israel's Prime Minister). I am so moved – this kind of thing doesn't happen in Tel Aviv. It happens in Sheikh Jarrah, in Bil'in and in Nebi Salah (the sites of more radical demonstrations). But it does not happen in the middle of mainstream Tel Aviv, and certainly not in a way that publicly draws inspiration from the Arab Spring.
And it's only getting bigger. Hundreds of people marched on the Knesset (Parliament) today, and breaking news just told me that 200 people blocked the road outside Prime Minister Nethanyahu's home in Jerusalem. (Can you believe it?! Civil disobedience has gone mainstream in Israel!)
For me, this movement has come to represent – simultaneously – what I find ugliest and what I find most beautiful about the place I've chosen to make my home.
Walking down Rothschild Boulevard, it is impossible to tell if it's a protest or a street festival. The cross-section of people here is incredible. I've seen a Breslover (a sect of Hassidic Jews) dance circle, the Anarchist drummers marching down the boulevard, and Im Tirzu (the fascists who everyone loves to hate) handing out flyers. There is a compost bin. And a sukkah. And a teepee. The place is packed with young people drinking beer, barbecuing, sitting around in circles singing as someone plays a guitar, doing contact improv in the middle of the street, and of course I'm certain there is going to be a tent-baby boom in Tel Aviv come April (for great visuals, see Activestills' photosream). I am constantly awed by Israelis' capacity to experience unbridled joy, despite the exceedingly difficult socio-political and material circumstances in which they live their lives.
Yet walking down Rothschild, I am also keenly aware who isn't there. The protest is overwhelmingly white and middle-class. Conspicuously absent are the "other" residents of Tel Aviv - Palestinians from Yafo, whose severe housing crisis has gone unmentioned for years, exaggerated by municipal policies that favor gentrification and Jewish-only settlement over community development, and Mizrachi (Middle Eastern) Jews, refugees and migrant workers from Tel Aviv's poor, neglected southern neighborhoods. In fact, out of all of the tent cities that have been raised all over the country over these few weeks, the only one to be demolished was the one built in south Tel Aviv (see an excellent video here).
I am also keenly aware of what is not being said (at least not by the protesters. The left-wing op-ed media is of course having a field day!). What's not being said is that for decades the government of Israel has been pouring money into settlement construction in the West Bank, instead of developing sustainable housing solutions for Jewish citizens of what the rest of the world considers to be Israel. What's not being said is that there is been a dire housing crisis for years among Palestinian communities in Israel, because the government does not permit Palestinian citizens to build. What's not being said is that Mizrachi Jews have been geographically marginalized in urban spaces and housing issues since the State of Israel's founding. What's not being said is that this popular uprising takes place against the backdrop of a brutal and repressive legislative assault on democratic freedoms.
The tent movement's leaders insist that their struggle is not "political." For young Israelis fed up with the corruption and ineffectiveness of their government, "politics" is a dirty word. But for me, it's impossible to look at what's happening in Tel Aviv and not see the bigger picture.
I am truly uplifted and inspired by the sound of thirty thousand people calling, "The nation demands social justice!" I am ecstatic that when they talk about social justice they are talking not only about housing, but they are making connections with other struggles here - the price of consumer goods (the "cottage cheese boycott"), the doctors' and social workers' strikes, etc. The popular discourse has finally - FINALLY - moved beyond the "peace process," and started to look critically at what kind of society we are trying to build here.
But I am pained that these voices come wrapped in an Israeli flag, which to me represents a nation built on the backs of many for the political and economic benefit of an elite few (for more on this, see the post-colonialist discussion of Zionism – Oren Yiftachel, Ella Shohat, Aziza Khazzoum, Yehuda Shenhav). When we say that "the nation" is demanding social justice, what kind of social justice are we talking about, and are we defining "the nation" in a way that is truly inclusive?
In his infamous Letter from a Birmingham Jail, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. wrote, "Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere. We are caught in an inescapable network of mutuality, tied in a single garment of destiny. Whatever affects one directly, affects all indirectly." I am full of hope that this movement will be the doorway to a broader movement for change. I hope that the middle class in Tel Aviv has opened its eyes and will connect the dots to see that their struggle is the same as that of Palestinians being evicted from their homes in Lod, Ramle and Sheikh Jarrah; of the Bedouins in Al Arakib, an "unrecognized" village in the Negev that has been destroyed 27 times over the past year alone; and of Mizrahi Jews in Kfar Shalem who have been in a tug-of-war for decades with the municipality, who is trying to demolish their homes and build luxury high rises. I am heartened by the fact that throughout history it has been the middle class who has lead the most successful revolutions, so even if the tent city strikes me as overly yuppy and white, maybe in the end that's not a bad thing.
There is talk of revolution. There is talk of an awakening. My sincerest prayer is that this is the beginning of a movement for true democracy in this country, and the dawning of new era marked by the social, political, and economic inclusion of all of us living in this crazy, crazy place.
May it come speedily, and in our days.

2010-11 NBA Season | Miami Heat vs Cleveland Cavaliers, Er.. Lebron vs Cavs FansCategory: Basketball
The King is coming back to where he first started his reign.
However, a royal treatment is not to be expected.
Amidst all the hoopla, Lebron James made a decision last summer to leave Cleveland for Miami. Immediately, there was an unfavorable response especially among Cleveland citizens as fans burned his jersey while Cavaliers majority owner Dan Gilbert posted an open letter calling James "our former hero", a coward and a traitor.
To counter the criticisms, Lebron made a commercial for Nike titled "Rise" with him repeatedly asking, "What should I do?"
Today, December 2, James will have his homecoming on national TV as his former team plays host to his new team, the Miami Heat in the first of four meetings this season between the two teams.
For Cavs fans, this is the most awaited game in the 2010-2011 NBA schedule to personally let LeBron know how they feel about his controversial departure. Lebron on the other hand might dread this day. He is coming to a hostile environment after all.
However, to ensure his safety, the NBA management decided to beef up security. Dozens of extra security officers will be on hand, both uniformed and undercover, stationed inside and outside the Quicken Loans Arena. The Miami Heat bench and the tunnel to their dugout will have extra guards.
One question pops up to mind: will Lebron James have the guts to do his pregame throwing-up-chalk-in-the-air ritual?
(UPDATE: He did!)
Here's the Miami Heat schedule showing the four meetings with Cleveland Cavaliers for the 2010-11 NBA season:
Thursday, December 2 at Cleveland 8 p.m. LIVE on TNT – 118-90 Heat wins
Wednesday, December 15 at Miami 7:30 p.m. – 101-95 Heat wins
Monday, January 31 at Miami 7:30 p.m. - 117-90 Heat wins
Tuesday, March 29 at Cleveland 7 p.m. - 102-90 Cavaliers win

Hardcore, know the score. The Yamaha YZF-R6 is a sexy uber-capable track bike that works on the road too. It caught the 600 race rep class napping and nothing came close until Suzuki launched its 2001 GSX-R600 – that's a long time to rule the 600 roost and shows just how good the original Yamaha YZF-R6 was.
535cc, 38bhp, 100mph, Insurance group 8
The XV535 Virago is where Yamaha started giving Harley-Davidson a run for their money: it was the first of their cruiser motorcycles and it certainly lasted well. The Yamaha XV535 is basic, trusted, easy to ride and with unchallenging but enjoyable performance. What's more this Virago is a great value for money motorcycle and perfect for newbies or laid back commuters.
599cc, 101bhp, 158mph, Insurance group 14
What a makeover! And just in time… As other sports 600s were creeping ahead, Suzuki looked as if it would be left for dead. And then they came up with this Suzuki GSX-R600. Slimmed down, firmed up and with power and torque figures to raise front wheels as well as eyebrows, the "new" Suzuki GSX-R600 was an absolute storm.
749cc, 100bhp, 152mph, Insurance group 14
For many, bike journalists included, the best road bike ever built. In 1994 Honda revised an already exceptional motorcycle, giving it super-model looks while still retaining those quintessential VFR qualities of legendary reliability, consistent performance and supreme comfort. The bodywork become less angular and gained Ferrari-esque louvres on its side panels.

Joanna Newsom's voice in that "Peach Plum Pear" song
makes me want funnel a colony of fire ants into both of my ear canals, allowing them to ferociously feast on my eardrums. I'm sure that might feel/sound better than that atrocious shrill she calls a voice.
She's a performer doing what she loves and that's great, but no thanks. I'll pass on that.
EDIT: Holy fuck, I thought it might have just been that song, but nope… its just her voice.

2.3.1. Adding Admin Options to the Suckerfish Menu
Submitted by roople on Sun, 04/06/2008 - 09:02.
A standard Drupal installation comes with a default menu named Navigation. Within the Navigation menu is a nested sub-menu of Drupal configuration options named Administer. Only site administrators will see the Administer menu.
The Navigation menu is usually displayed in a sidebar. By moving the Administer menu to the suckerfish menu region, you can gain easy multi-level drop-down menu access to common administration tasks.
There are two ways to do this. If you want to move the entire Navigation menu structure to the suckerfish menu area, you can point your browser to /yoursite/admin/build/block and change the region of the Navigation menu to suckerfish-menu.
What if you already have a different menu in the suckerfish region, and you simply want to add the Administer sub-menu to your existing suckerfish menu? You can move the existing Administer sub-menu. Point your browser to /yoursite/admin/build/menu, find the Administer submenu in the list of menu items, click the Edit link next to it, and change the Parent-item parameter to be your existing suckerfish menu.
Remember that you will need to enable the Expanded option on all parent menu items in the Administer menu. Otherwise, the child menu items will not be available in the suckerfish menus.

Star Track Lyrics - Jefferson Airplane
Review The Song (1)
Star Track.
(Jorma Kaukonen)
If your head spins round try to see the ground if you can
My busy eyes missed her path through the air as she ran
My sensory mind is too old to cry
Not ready to live and too strange to die
So stop your doubt push the world on by
With your hand
It takes time to love and open minds to love
And who's got time on their hands
Well life can be hard when you're holes in a card
In some electronic hand
You'll wander around from place to place
Disappear without a trace
And someone else will take your place
In line
sponsored linksYou can fool your friends about the way it ends
But you can't fool yourself
Take your head in hand and make your own demands
Or you'll crystallize on the shelf
The freeway's concrete way won't show
You where to run or how to go
And running fast you'll go down slow in the end
Running fast you'll go down slow in the end

Star Track - superb | Reviewer: Dwight Hobbes | 7/17/11
A standout cut from The Airplane's "Crown of Creation" Star Track is one of the earliest and tastiest uses of the wah-wah guitar pedal with Jorma Kaukonen taking it to incredibly articulate places. Kaukonen's vocal, as well, intrigued.

They're three times more likely than those who got an abortion to be below the poverty level two years later, for one thing.
The New York Times Magazine takes an in-depth look at a first-of-its-kind study–which we've mentioned before–that's trying to determine how women who are forced to carry an unwanted pregnancy to term after being turned away from abortion clinics fare compared to demographically similar women who got the abortions they wanted. Here's what head researcher Diana Greene Foster of UCSF has found so far:
When she looked at more objective measures of mental health over time — rates of depression and anxiety — she also found no correlation between having an abortion and increased symptoms. In a working paper based on her study, Foster notes that "women's depression and anxiety symptoms either remained steady or decreased over the two-year period after receiving an abortion," and that in fact, "initial and subsequent levels of depressive symptoms were similar" between those who received an abortion and those who were turned away. Turnaways did, however, suffer from higher levels of anxiety, but six months out, there were no appreciable differences between the two groups.
Where the turnaways had more significant negative outcomes was in their physical health and economic stability. Because new mothers are eligible for government programs, Foster thought that they might have better health over time. But women in the turnaway group suffered more ill effects, including higher rates of hypertension and chronic pelvic pain (though Foster cannot say whether turnaways face greater risk from pregnancy than an average woman). Even "later abortions are significantly safer than childbirth," she says, "and we see that through lower complications and low incidence of chronic conditions." (In the National Right to Life's five-part response to preliminary findings of Foster's study, which were presented at the American Public Health Association conference last year, the group noted that the ill effects of abortion — future miscarriage, breast cancer, infertility — may become apparent only later. Reputable research does not support such claims.)
Economically, the results are even more striking. Adjusting for any previous differences between the two groups, women denied abortion were three times as likely to end up below the federal poverty line two years later. Having a child is expensive, and many mothers have trouble holding down a job while caring for an infant. Had the turnaways not had access to public assistance for women with newborns, Foster says, they would have experienced greater hardship.
One thing that's clear is that aside from the very real material differences between the two groups, for the most part, "turnaways" like the young mother S. profiled in the piece, come to bond with their babies once they're born. While this may be taken by anti-choicers as further reason to ban abortion, it's entirely unsurprising to pro-choicers who believe that people don't have abortions because they're heartless monsters but because they want to do what's best for themselves and their current and/or future kids. As Amanda Marcotte notes, "Being able to love a child who is actually here while being opposed to having the child while it's in the womb highlights the very real difference between an actual person and a potential one."
The human capacity to adjust to whatever life throws at us is incredible–but that doesn't make it any less awful that the turnaways were denied a (constitutionally protected) choice–thanks to unjust, discriminatory policies and logistical hurdles that make abortion difficult for many poor women to access before it's too late.

Agreed. This is probably better filed under the "general news category", if there is one.
Re: Ted Rall announces anthology of online cartoonists

Although Ted Rall is political, and some of the strips in Attitude III are too, most of us aren't doing strictly political humor and some of us never do it at all. They were also looking for social commentary and a certain twistedness/edginess/subversiveness, whatever. It's mostly strips which do (or could) appear in alternative weekly newspapers. I suggested quite a few webcomics which were not chosen by the editors, such as Sordid City Blues, Splendid Everlasting, Monkey Law, and maybe a dozen others. I'm really pleased with this final group, though.

The NBA announced today that Mike Woodson was fined $25,000 for criticizing officials after the New York Knicks' loss to the Indiana Pacers on Wednesday night. Woodson's comments came on a radio interview he did the next day.
Perhaps this is giving more credit than deserved to Woodson (who may have just been pissed off), but this could have been a strategic move. Fans have griped all year that the Knicks haven't gotten the whistles they should, and the players, like Carmelo Anthony, have done the same thing. After losing to the Houston Rockets last Thursday, Anthony told reporters that he doesn't get the same type of calls that James Harden gets. Woodson may have just been angry about the lack of calls, or he might have been intentionally drawing attention it.
Despite complaining about the officiating, Woodson also gave the referees credit. He said that the refs made the right call on Iman Shumpert's late foul on Paul George's three-point attempt. It a foul, but given the circumstances, it was call that could have easily been overlooked. Here's a look at the controversial call:
As of late, the Knicks have had a serious gripe with the refs in a chain of calls they disagreed with. In the Houston game, the Knicks and the entire MSG arena thought that James Harden's foul on Carmelo Anthony's three-pointer should have been a continuation, a four-point play. Against the Detroit Pistons, Anthony got fouled driving to the basket, never dribbled again, picked up the ball, and laid it in in one smooth motion. It should have been a continuation, according to the rules, but the refs said the foul came before the shot.
Currently, the Knicks rank 29th in free throw attempts per game and 28th in personal fouls drawn. Woodson could be trying to draw attention to some questionable officiating, but by doing so, his wallet will be a bit lighter.
