Amor Mundi 3/1/15
Hannah Arendt considered calling her magnum opus Amor Mundi: Love of the World. Instead, she settled upon The Human Condition. What is most difficult, Arendt writes, is to love the world as it is, with all the evil and suffering in it. And yet she came to do just that. Loving the world means neither uncritical acceptance nor contemptuous rejection. Above all it means the unwavering facing up to and comprehension of that which is.
Every Sunday, The Hannah Arendt Center Amor Mundi Weekly Newsletter will offer our favorite essays and blog posts from around the web. These essays will help you comprehend the world. And learn to love it.
Amy Ireland is thinking about a genocide at the level of "genus-cide," the eradication of humanity itself. The threat is not weaponry but technology. And the exemplary precursor is the horse: "In the United States--where competition with the automobile was at its most intense--there were about 26 million horses in 1915. By the 1950s only 2 million remained." The question Ireland asks is whether humans are going the way of horses to be replaced by more efficient machines. Will artificially intelligent machines consume humans' fuel? "Far from being actively malevolent, an artificially intelligent agent endowed with enough power only needs to be indifferent to become a murderer. What are we, after all, but fuel? Atoms that can be freely disassembled and reassembled into something else - a thousand paperclip factories, for instance, or a massive supercomputer, capable of mathematical calculations we can't even begin to imagine in our current state of technological paucity. Even the clearly delimited goal of creating exactly one million paperclips can warrant the wasting of an entire planet, for a fully rational AI would never assign zero probability to the hypothesis that it has not yet achieved its goal.... There is something satisfying about imagining a malevolent artificial intelligence that actively wants to destroy us because it fears us, loathes us, or at least finds our existence frustrating and inconvenient. But the notion that something will destroy us out of sheer indifference is much harder to swallow because it forces us to consider the possibility of our utter insignificance. Bostrom surmises with all the level-headedness of a pure statistician that the odds against humanity's survival are overwhelmingly high. The default outcome of our construction of a single strong artificial intelligence is, quite plainly, extinction. His intention, naturally, is to raise awareness of the risks that lie behind this seemingly anodyne technological innovation and encourage governments, corporations or other entities that may one day attempt to build strong AI to implement rigorously tested control measures before letting the thing out of the box. All this is well and good, but it rests upon a deeper anthropomorphic supposition. What if the most radical gesture a flailing humanity can make at this juncture is not to increase its investment in security and control, but to pass it on? What if we are entangled in a larger evolutionary process that we never had control over in the first place? The real question then, might not be how to survive the construction of strong artificial intelligence but whether or not the survival of the human race is a good thing after all." Ireland is right to pose the question of "genus-cide," although her tone is a bit blithe. The threat is not the eradication of human beings but, as Arendt writes in The Human Condition, the loss of the human condition, those characteristics of being human like labor, work, action, and (sometimes) thinking. As Arendt writes, "This future man, whom the scientists tell us they will produce in no more than a hundred years, seems to be possessed by a rebellion against human existence as it has been given, a free gift from nowhere (secularly speaking), which he wishes to exchange, as it were, for something he has made himself. There is no reason to doubt our abilities to accomplish such an exchange."
Karl Ove Knausgaard was commissioned to travel from Sweden to the Viking's first settlement in Newfoundland and then drive across the United States in order to reflect on the state of America. In part one of his two-part "Saga," Knausgaard offers this insight into a specifically American form of poverty, the poverty of imagination and the abandonment of distinction: "I'd seen poverty before, of course, even incomprehensible poverty, as in the slums outside Maputo, in Mozambique. But I'd never seen anything like this. If what I had seen tonight--house after house after house abandoned, deserted, decaying as if there had been disaster--if this was poverty, then it must be a new kind poverty, maybe in the same way that the wealth that had amassed here in the 20th century had been a new kind of wealth. I had never really understood how a nation that so celebrated the individual could obliterate all differences the way this country did. In a system of mass production, the individual workers are replaceable and the products are identical. The identical cars are followed by identical gas stations, identical restaurants, identical motels and, as an extension of these, by identical TV screens, which hang everywhere in this country, broadcasting identical entertainment and identical dreams. Not even the Soviet Union at the height of its power had succeeded in creating such a unified, collective identity as the one Americans lived their lives within. When times got rough, a person could abandon one town in favor of another, and that new town would still represent the same thing. Was that what home was here? Not the place, not the local, but the culture, the general?"
Peter Railton gave the John Dewey Lecture at the American Philosophical Association Meeting this year, where amidst reflections on philosophical thinking, personal courage, and political activism, he offered a guileless and moving account of his personal struggle with depression. "And what of depression? Perhaps we all know the mask of depression, that frozen, affectless face we catch glimpses of on our students, colleagues, and friends. I can't do anything about that. But perhaps I can do something about the face of depression--its visible image in the minds of our children and parents, teachers and students. Because in truth, we are still to a considerable degree still in a world of 'Don't ask, don't tell' with regard to depression and associated mental disorders, such as anxiety, even though these will severely affect one in ten of us over the course of a lifetime, and often at more than one point in a lifetime. So there's nothing for it. Those whose have dwelt in the depths depression need to come out as well. Some already have, but far too few adult men (big surprise!), and especially far too few of the adult men who somehow have come to bear the stamp of respectability and recognition, and thus are visible to hundreds of students and colleagues. It's no big deal, right? We're all enlightened about this. Then why do the words stick in my throat when I tell you that another theme uniting the three episodes I have recounted from my life, and that has played an equally important role in shaping my philosophy, is that they were all accompanied by my depression. This moody high school student, this struggling protester, this anxious young faculty member--they were all me and they were all living through major depressive episodes at the time. And there have been other such episodes, some more recent. Thankfully, for me and especially for my family who have been through so much already, not right now. Did others know? I don't know. Some must have guessed--perhaps those who themselves had known depression in their lives could see the mask of depression upon my face. But the thing is: I couldn't say it. I couldn't say, 'Look, I'm dying inside. I need help.' Because that's what depression is--it isn't sadness or moodiness, it is above all a logic that undermines from within, that brings to bear all the mind's mighty resources in convincing you that you're worthless, incapable, unloveable, and everyone would be better off without you. Not a steely-eyed, careful critique from which one might learn, but an incessant bludgeoning that exaggerates past errors while ignoring new information, eroding even the ability to form memories. A young man once had the courage to tell me, 'My brain is telling me to kill myself, but my body is saying "no."' Happily, his body won. But it doesn't always. Every year, thousands of young men don't win the battle. We are captive audiences to our own minds, and it can become intolerable." Depression, Railton suggests, is still in the closet, and this causes untold pain at colleges, where, as a recent study shows, the mental health of college Freshmen is at an all-time low--something that will not surprise any of us who teach in this nation's colleges and universities.
In Railton's speech on depression discussed above, he also has this tidbit on meetings: "Oscar Wilde is still right--because the cost of building a society where the people have more say in how their lives are run is still many, many meetings. What is a meeting, after all, but people deliberating together with a capacity to act as a group that is more than just a sum of individual actions, and this sort of informed joint action is a precondition for significant social change. Come together, decide together, act together, and bear the consequences together. We must own our institutions or they will surely own us. As Aristotle told us, one becomes a citizen not by belonging to a polity or having a vote, but by shouldering the tasks of joint deliberation and civic governance. And there is no civic or faculty governance, no oversight of discrimination in hiring and promotion, no regulation of pollutants, no organization of faculty or students to initiate curricular reform, no mobilization by professional associations to protect their most vulnerable members or to promote greater diversity, no increased humaneness in the treatment of animals and human subjects, no chance to offset arbitrariness and bullying within offices and departments, no oversight of progress and revision of plans in response to changing circumstances, without actual people who care spending long hours in the work of planning, meeting, and making things happens. The alternative is for all these decisions to be made at the discretion of those on high--or not at all." At a moment when faith and participation in all institutions is rare and the pursuit of individual pursuits comparatively common, Railton's reminder of what Arendt calls the power of talking and acting together is worth heeding.
David Cole writes that the Senate Torture Report, when read in full, leads to fundamentally different conclusions than most of the headlines and early accounts suggest. Above all, the report blaming the CIA for lying may have missed the real story: "The full story is more complicated, and ultimately much more disturbing, than the initial responses--mine included--suggested. And because these documents may be the closest we come to some form of accountability, it is essential that we get the lessons right.... So why did the committee focus on efficacy and misrepresentation, rather than on the program's fundamental illegality? Possibly because that meant it could cast the C.I.A. as solely responsible, a rogue agency. A focus on legality would have rightly held C.I.A. officials responsible for failing to say no--but it also would have implicated many more officials who were just as guilty, if not more so. Lawyers at the Justice Department wrote a series of highly implausible legal memos from 2002 to 2007, opining that waterboarding, sleep deprivation, confinement in coffinlike boxes, painful stress positions and slamming people into walls were not torture; were not cruel, inhuman or degrading; and did not violate the Geneva Conventions. The same can be said for President George W. Bush, Vice President Dick Cheney and all the cabinet-level officials responsible for national security, each of whom signed off on a program that was patently illegal. The reality is, no one in a position of authority said no. This may well explain the committee's focus on the C.I.A. and its alleged misrepresentations. The inquiry began as a bipartisan effort, and there is no way that the Republican members would have agreed to an investigation that might have found fault with the entire leadership of the Bush administration. But while the committee's framing may be understandable as a political matter, it was a mistake as a matter of historical accuracy and of moral principle. The report is, to date, the closest thing to official accountability that we have. But by focusing on whether the program worked and whether the C.I.A. lied, the report was critically misleading. Responsibility for the program lies not with the C.I.A. alone, but also with everyone else, up to the highest levels of the White House, who said yes when law and morality plainly required them to say no."
The Little Voice Inside Your Head
Adam Phillips worries about what's inside us: "We are never as good as we should be; and neither, it seems, are other people. A life without a so-called critical faculty would seem an idiocy: what are we, after all, but our powers of discrimination, our taste, the violence of our preferences? Self-criticism, and the self as critical, are essential to our sense, our picture, of our so-called selves. Nothing makes us more critical--more suspicious or appalled or even mildly amused--than the suggestion that we should drop all this relentless criticism, that we should be less impressed by it and start really loving ourselves. But the self-critical part of ourselves, the part that Freud calls the super-ego, has some striking deficiencies: it is remarkably narrow-minded; it has an unusually impoverished vocabulary; and it is, like all propagandists, relentlessly repetitive. It is cruelly intimidating--Lacan writes of 'the obscene super-ego'--and it never brings us any news about ourselves. There are only ever two or three things we endlessly accuse ourselves of, and they are all too familiar; a stuck record, as we say, but in both senses--the super-ego is reiterative. It is the stuck record of the past ('something there badly not wrong', Beckett's line from Worstward Ho, is exactly what it must not say) and it insists on diminishing us. It is, in short, unimaginative; both about morality, and about ourselves. Were we to meet this figure socially, this accusatory character, this internal critic, this unrelenting fault-finder, we would think there was something wrong with him. He would just be boring and cruel. We might think that something terrible had happened to him, that he was living in the aftermath, in the fallout, of some catastrophe. And we would be right." In other words, critical thinking is essential, but let's also recall that it is dangerous. All thinking is an attack on the status quo and the common world in which we live. That is what Arendt means when she wrote, "There are no dangerous thoughts. Thinking itself is dangerous." That doesn't mean we should stop thinking critically, but it does mean that thinking requires knowing when thinking is, and when it is not, needed. That is the moment of judgment.
Novelist Gary Shteyngart spent a week watching Russian television and living like a Russian oligarch: "Here is the question I'm trying to answer: What will happen to me--an Americanized Russian-speaking novelist who emigrated from the Soviet Union as a child--if I let myself float into the television-filtered head space of my former countrymen? Will I learn to love Putin as 85 percent of Russians profess to do? Will I dash to the Russian consulate on East 91st Street and ask for my citizenship back? Will I leave New York behind and move to Crimea, which, as of this year, Putin's troops have reoccupied, claiming it has belonged to Russia practically since the days of the Old Testament? Or will I simply go insane? A friend of mine in St. Petersburg, a man in his 30s who, like many his age, avoids state-controlled TV and goes straight to alternative news sources on the Internet, warns me in an email: 'Your task may prove harmful to your psyche and your health in general. Russian TV, especially the news, is a biohazard.' I'll be fine, I think. Russians have survived far worse than this. But, just in case, I have packed a full complement of anti-anxiety, sleep and pain medication."
Andy Greenwald considers what made the recently concluded sitcom Parks and Recreation successful and what it's legacy might be: "Art doesn't always have to be a dark mirror reflecting reality. It can and should also be a window, thrown open to let in every last bit of possible light. Parks and Recreation never quite resembled the real America. But every episode was imbued with the idea that maybe it could, if only we, the people, cared a little more and tried a little harder. The Wire, the greatest drama of the young 21st century, left us with a tough legacy to reckon with. Parks and Rec, the best comedy of that same century, gifted us with a beautiful model to which we can collectively aspire. I doubt the future will be as bleak as David Simon's vision for it or as rosy as Mike Schur's. The joy of being a TV fan is that we get to consider both. That's not a cop-out, by the way. That's a compromise, and one that even President Leslie Knope could accept. After all, Parks was built on the bedrock belief that opposing ideas could not only have merit, they could coexist. Like the show itself, it's an idea that sounds simple but in practice is anything but."

A Special Donation
The Hannah Arendt Center recently received a special donation from Konstanze Bachman in honor of her mother, Maria Schmitt-Kuemmell. We accept this gift with our sincerest thanks.
The donation is Hannah Arendt's 1929 dissertation Der Liebesbegriff bei Augustin: Versuch Einer Philosophischen Interpretation, or "The Concept of Love in Augustine. Attempt a Philosophical Interpretation" (Berline, Springer Verlag, 1929).
Under the direction of Karl Jaspers and the influence of Martin Heidegger, Hannah Arendt first began her scholarly career in 1929 by writing a dissertation on Saint Augustine's concept of caritas, or neighborly love. Four years later, her life in Germany ended abruptly with Hitler's rise to power in 1933, events which forced Arendt into exile in France. She eventually moved to New York and took her dissertation with her.
During the late 1950s and early 1960s, Arendt completed some of her most influential studies of political life. It was at this time that Arendt also reworked her dissertation using some of the arguments and observations she had used in her other works. In this sense, Arendt's dissertation became a bridge over which she traveled back and forth between her early years in Germany and her professional career in New York, two periods which, despite their separation in time and space, both found relevance in Augustine's questions about human freedom and the possibility of political life in a scientific and technological age.
This is the 9th booklet of the Philosophische Forschungen, which was published by Karl Jaspers in Heidelberg.
The Hannah Arendt Center intends to archive the book in the Hannah Arendt Collection at Bard College's Stevenson Library.
Violence, Art, and Our Crisis in Culture
"The common element connecting art and politics is that they are both phenomena of the public world. What mediates the conflict between the artist and the man of action is the cultura animi, that is, a mind so trained and cultivated that it can be trusted to tend and take care of the world of appearances whose criterion is beauty."
"The Crisis in Culture," in Between Past and Future (1993 [1961]) 218-219
The survival of culture is not assured. In her exploration of culture and crisis, Hannah Arendt distinguishes between objects that are produced for use and those that are produced as art in order to endure. Consumptive life is a part of leisure, a "necessity" of life, whereas art, as Arendt often discusses, partakes in the humanistic task of cultivating a world that doesn't collapse all distinctions – among people, among realms of experiences, among spaces of collective encounter, and among the ways in which we see violence whether in the hands of fellow human beings or state authorities. This note about violence is not a theme in Arendt's "The Crisis in Culture." But it very well could be, and as I'll assert here, it should be. This is part of our "crisis of culture," after all, a dilemma for which art may offer some chance of cultivating a humanistic sensibility that is much needed in light of persistent violence within liberal democratic republics today.

Eichmann Before Jerusalem: The Unexamined Life of a Mass Murderer is the new English translation of Bettina Stangneth's exhaustive history of the life of Adolf Eichmann. Stangneth writes that her book has two aims. The first is "to present all the available material, as well as the challenges that come with it." The second is to engage in a "dialogue with Hannah Arendt, and not simply because I first came to this topic many years ago through Eichmann in Jerusalem." Stangneth traces her interest in Eichmann to Arendt's book, a book that in Stangneth's words "had the courage to form a clear judgment, even at the risk of knowing too little." Her plunge into the depths of Eichmann's soul is an effort to reckon with power and provocation of Arendt's judgment. Stangneth goes to great lengths to praise Arendt in interviews and in her writing, citing Arendt as an inspiration and model for fearless and critical thinking about difficult and horrible events. In the end, however, Stangneth concludes that as brilliant as Arendt's book on the Eichmann trial is, Arendt herself was mistaken in her characterization of Eichmann as banal: "one of the most significant insights to be gained from studying Adolf Eichmann is reflected in Arendt: even someone of average intelligence can induce a highly intelligent person to defeat herself with her own weapon: her desire to see her expectations fulfilled." In other words, Arendt expected Eichmann to be thoughtless; in concluding that he was banal, she was fooled by him. Stangneth's book is the best account of Eichmann the man to appear since Arendt's trial report in 1963. You can read an excerpt here. You can read my account on the Arendt Center blog.
Ta-Nehisi Coates spent the summer in a French immersion program at Middlebury College. In an essay about the experience, he talks about how communicating and reading almost exclusively in French alienated him from the world outside of campus (except, perhaps, the world according to the French), how educational opportunities in America have been traditionally afforded to some and not others, and how the importance of the experience is, in part, discovering something counterintuitive: "One afternoon, I was walking from lunch feeling battered by the language. I started talking with a young master in training. I told her I was having a tough time. She gave me some encouraging words in French from a famous author. I told her I didn't understand. She repeated them. I still didn't understand. She repeated them again. I shook my head, smiled, and walked away mildly frustrated because I understood every word she was saying but could not understand how it fit. It was as though someone had said, 'He her walks swim plus that yesterday the fight.' (This is how French often sounds to me.) The next day, I sat at lunch with her and another young woman. I asked her to spell the quote out for me. I wrote the phrase down. I did not understand. The other young lady explained the function of the pronouns in the sentence. Suddenly I understood-and not just the meaning of the phrase. I understood something about the function of language, why being able to diagram sentences was important, why understanding partitives and collective nouns was important. In my long voyage through this sea of language, that was my first sighting of land. I now knew how much I didn't know. The feeling of discovery and understanding that came from this was incredible. It was the first moment when I thought I might survive the sea."
We are sick of politics, and who can blame us when the only rational conclusion is that getting involved doesn't make a difference? And yet every once in a while someone comes along who is convinced that they can make a difference, that politics can matter again. David Cole writes about Zephyr Teachout and her new book Corruption in America. "Indeed, according to Teachout, corruption is not just Cuomo's-or New York's-problem. It is the most pressing threat that our democracy faces. And the problem, as Teachout sees it, is that those in power refuse to admit it. Just as Cuomo shut down the Moreland Commission's inquiry into corruption, so the Supreme Court, by adopting an ahistorical and improperly narrow view of corruption, has shut down an exploration of the very real threat that unrestricted campaign spending actually poses to our democracy. In Corruption in America, an eloquent, revealing, and sometimes surprising historical inquiry, Teachout convincingly argues that corruption, broadly understood as placing private interests over the public good in public office, is at the root of what ails American democracy. Regulating corruption has been a persistent theme through American history and has bedeviled lawyers, politicians, and political philosophers alike. Everyone agrees that it is a problem, but few can agree on how to define it, much less fight it effectively." Teachout spoke at Bard last week as she prepares for the NY Democratic primary this Tuesday, in which she is challenging Andrew Cuomo. And she will be speaking as well with Lawrence Lessig at the Hannah Arendt Center Conference The Unmaking of Americans in October.
Daniel Bergner describes Eva Moskowitz as a one-woman tsunami bringing about the drive for educational excellence in New York. "'I thought that as chairwoman of the Education Committee, I could make a difference,' [Moskowitz] said. But labor was too intransigent, the government bureaucracy too cumbersome and entrenched. 'I kept getting more and more narrow: Well, if you can't bring better science or better arts - I held a hearing on toilet paper. I thought, That's going to be a winner, everyone's for toilet paper, surely we can come together. But you couldn't, because the administration denied' that there was a problem. 'I had to go around photographing bathrooms where there wasn't toilet paper. . . . I thought, This is not a system that delivers for children. Kids can't wait till all the policies change. That's going to be another two centuries.'" Moskowitz has created a series of schools in which mostly poor and disadvantaged students test better than students at the best public and private schools. Her technique might surprise: "Above all, there are her exacting standards for the network's adults - the teachers she hires straight from certification programs or after stints with public schools or Teach for America and the administrators who have been promoted from her faculty. It's their intellectual capacity that is her main concern; the training sessions I sat in on this summer were less about teaching teachers to teach than about teaching them to think. I watched Jessica Sie, the associate director of literacy, lead an auditorium full of elementary- and middle-school faculty members in a discussion of the nuances in a short essay from The New Yorker. They wouldn't be using the essay with their students. But Moskowitz wants her faculty to know how to read in the deepest way, so they can model this for their pupils right from the youngest grades, when everyone is discussing 'The Tortoise and the Hare.'"
While pursuing her Ph.D. at Vanderbilt, Tish Harrison Warren led the Graduate Christian Fellowship-a chapter of InterVarsity Christian Fellowship-until a new policy led her group to be put on probation. Their fault was to require leaders of the group to affirm certain Christian beliefs. She hoped it was all a misunderstanding. "But as I met with other administrators, the tone began to change. The word discrimination began to be used-a lot-specifically in regard to creedal requirements. It was lobbed like a grenade to end all argument. Administrators compared Christian students to 1960s segregationists. I once mustered courage to ask them if they truly thought it was fair to equate racial prejudice with asking Bible study leaders to affirm the Resurrection. The vice chancellor replied, 'Creedal discrimination is still discrimination.' .... The line between good and evil was drawn by two issues: creedal belief and sexual expression. If religious groups required set truths or limited sexual autonomy, they were bad-not just wrong but evil, narrow-minded, and too dangerous to be tolerated on campus. It didn't matter to them if we were politically or racially diverse, if we cared about the environment or built Habitat homes. It didn't matter if our students were top in their fields and some of the kindest, most thoughtful, most compassionate leaders on campus. There was a line in the sand, and we fell on the wrong side of it." All of which leads Warren to ask, with justification, if there is still space for religious organizations in America's universities.
James Ward, who puts on something called the Boring Conference, talks to conference goers, including a woman who takes photographs of IBM cash registers, another who makes sound recordings of vending machines, and a man who keeps track of his sneezes. Why pay some attention to something so, well, boring? Ward explains: "'How should we take account of, question, describe what happens every day and recurs every day?' asks the French writer Georges Perec in his 1973 essay on the 'infra-ordinary' (his word for everything that's the opposite of 'extraordinary'). Perec challenges us to question the habitual. 'But that's just it, we're habituated to it. We don't question it, it doesn't question us, it doesn't seem to pose a problem, we live it without thinking, as if it carried within it neither question nor answers, as if it weren't the bearer of any information. Perec's point is that everything contains information. It's just that, sometimes, it takes a bit of work to notice it. These days, an audience and a platform can be found for even the most niche interests, as people demonstrate that nothing is truly boring - not if you look at it closely enough.'"

Eight years ago this week, Michael Ignatieff accepted the Hannah Arendt Prize in Bremen. Ignatieff's acceptance speech spoke of Hannah Arendt as an example, as an intellectual whose work and persona had inspired and guided him on his own course. As is appropriate, he praises Arendt and also challenges her, finding in his disagreements an intense respect for the provocation and courage of her thinking. Arendt inspires, Ignatieff concludes, because she is skeptical, dispassionate, and free. His speech is one of the best accounts of what makes Arendt so compelling as a thinker. I recommend it to you as this week's Weekend read.
What most strikes Ignatieff about Arendt is her intellectual authority. He writes:
She was an example, first, because she created her own authority. She arrived in New York as a penniless refugee and by her death was widely respected as a public intellectual. She achieved authority by the power of thought. By authority, I mean that she was listened to, respected and widely regarded as a wise woman. I also mean that her influence has survived her and that the argument about her work continues a generation after her death.
Arendt's authority flows from commitment to ideas, to, in Ignatieff's words, an "intellectual life, that was free of any alliance with power, ideology, religion or coercive force." Neither a liberal nor a conservative, Arendt sought simply to think, and rethink, what we are doing. Again, Ignatieff characterizes her beautifully:
She defended a life of the mind connected to the idea of persuasion: the free changing of a mind in interaction with a logical argument or a claim about the world grounded in evident or falsifiable facts. She was attentive to facts, understood the discipline they impose on thought, appreciated the moral code of empirical scholarship, the proposition that if the theory does not fit the facts, the theory must be changed. This is a moral idea simply because it requires people to admit that they are wrong, and since nobody likes to, everyone can find a morally dubious way to avoid doing so. Facts are stubborn things, and intellectual life has no essential morality unless it submits arguments to the discipline of such facts as we can discover about ourselves and the world we live in.
Arendt's insistence on facts beyond ideology and politics made her old-fashioned to some. While everyone has a right to their opinion, she insisted that facts are sacrosanct, and no one has a right to change facts. Fidelity to facts meant for her a fidelity to living in a world with others, a shared world, one in which our disagreements cannot include disagreements over the unquestionable factual truths that make up our common world.
It is on the question of one such fact, however, that Ignatieff disagrees with Arendt. In her book Eichmann in Jerusalem, Arendt brought attention to the complicity of Jewish leaders who, during WWII, supplied Nazi leaders with lists of Jews and organized their fellow Jews for transport to concentration and death camps. A few resigned. Fewer committed suicide or resisted. But the majority collaborated.
These Jewish leaders often defended their actions as a lesser evil, keeping order where otherwise disorder might have reigned. But Arendt noted that they also kept themselves and their families off the transport lists. These were facts. While many Jews thought these facts should be hidden, Arendt insisted on telling the whole truth. Arendt argued that it is always right to tell the truth, no matter the consequences.
What is more, Arendt had the temerity to judge the Jewish leaders for their complicity. The Jewish leaders, she wrote, had defended their actions by the argument of the "lesser evil"— that their cooperation allowed them to save some Jews (themselves included) and was therefore a lesser evil; if they had simply handed the responsibility for selecting and organizing the Jews to the Nazis, that would have been worse.
For Arendt, this argument of the lesser evil was in form, although not in significance or import, the very same argument Eichmann employed. It was even closer to the actions of normal, average, everyday Germans who chose to work within the Nazi bureaucracy and legal system, justifying their actions by saying that if they resigned, others, even more heartless, would take their places. What unites the German civil servants and the Jewish leaders in Arendt's telling is their willingness to justify morally suspect actions in the name of doing an unethical job as ethically as possible.
It is important to recall that Arendt did not advocate punishing the Jewish leaders. Hers was not a legal judgment. But she did insist that they should bear moral responsibility for their actions. In short, they had put their own safety and the safety of their friends and families above their obligations to those other Jews who were under their care. In short, they had valued the lives of some over others and cooperated in the selection of some for extermination.
Arendt's argument of the formal similarity between the complicity of the Jewish leader and German bureaucrats was, Ignatieff argues, a mistake. It is worth hearing his argument at length. He writes:
Arendt had assumed that the choices that Jewish leaders made under Nazi occupation ought to be judged by the same standards of accountability to be applied to the perpetrators. She quoted her friend Mary McCarthy as saying, "If somebody points a gun at you and says, "Kill your friend or I will kill you", he is tempting you, that is all."
Arendt maintained that while it might not be possible to resist direct coercion, it was possible to resist temptation. This standard applied equally to perpetrators and accomplices. Without holding on to such a distinction, Arendt claimed, personal responsibility would be lost altogether.
Yet while it is a temptation for the perpetrator to say: "Kill your friend or I will kill you", the victim so compelled is under a very direct form of coercion. Arendt has elided two very different experiences: the German perpetrator who could disobey orders that entailed telling others to kill and a Jewish collaborator who knew that the choices were between everyone dying and some dying, between dying then or dying later.
"I was told, "Arendt later said angrily, "that judging itself was wrong: no one can judge who had not been there." But it was one thing to insist on the right to judge Eichmann and his kind, another thing to claim the equivalent right to judge—and condemn—the conduct of Jewish collaborators. The second case required a different kind of judgment, one that does not confuse understanding and forgiveness, but which does insist on empathy as a prelude to judgment. Empathy is not the same as sympathy. Empathy here means the capacity to enter into the moral world of those faced with intolerable choices and understand how these choices could be made. Empathy implies a capacity to discriminate between the condemnation appropriate to a perpetrator and that of his Jewish accomplice. The accusation here is fundamental: that in making ethical judgment the central function of intellectual life, and its chief claim of authority, Arendt had lacked the one essential feature of judgment: compassion.
There are a few things to say about Ignatieff's critique. First, he assumes that for the Jewish collaborators the choice was between "everyone dying and some dying, between dying then or dying later." Arendt disputes that fact. She denies that Jewish collaboration saved more lives than non-collaboration would have. Indeed, she argues that if the Jews had refused to collaborate, many fewer Jews would have been killed. The ensuing chaos would have afforded many Jews the chance to escape and would have inspired others to resist. Further, the complicity of Jewish leaders eased the Nazi's job and provided labor and legitimacy that expedited the efficiency of the final solution. It is simply wrong, Arendt insists, to see the choice as one of dying now or dying later. One cannot know the results of action, which always begins anew and is unpredictable in its consequences. Jewish resistance in place of collaboration, she argues, might have saved lives. It would have required courage, however, that the leaders risk their own lives.
Second, Ignatieff argues that Arendt was wrong to judge the collaborators and that in doing so she denied them the empathy and compassion that are essential features of judgment. Here Ignatieff and Arendt have a real difference of opinion, and it is one worth thinking about.
Ignatieff insists that judgment requires compassion. We should get to know the person being judged, empathize with his plight, and make allowance for his wrongs based on the circumstances. Against this view, Arendt insists that compassion—which is an essential and praiseworthy trait in the personal realm—must be kept out of the political realm and divorced from questions of judgment.
Compassion with another requires an engagement with another in their singularity. Indeed, it is just such a lack of compassion with those Jews under their care that was absent on the part of the Jewish leaders and that allowed them to act such as they did. Instead of compassion, the Jewish leaders treated their fellow Jews with pity. The leaders eased the plight of their subjects by treating them pitifully and softly as they sent them off to die, but they were able to do so only by avoiding the true empathy of compassion that would have made such action impossible. If the Jewish leaders really had compassion, they could never have handed them over to the Nazis to be killed. In fact, it is this willingness to subordinate their compassion and singular relation to those they were responsible for, to the political logic of means-ends rationality that bothered Arendt.
What most bothered Arendt, however, was that the Jewish leaders judged it better to do wrong by sending others off to die than to suffer wrong themselves. This putting of their own self-interest above the moral requirement not to do wrong was, she argued, a violation of the fundamental moral law first announced by Socrates; that it is better to suffer wrong than to do wrong. It is for their poor moral judgment that Arendt judges them.
While the leaders should have showed compassion for those in their care, Arendt insists that a judge should not. Judgment requires distance. It is from her distant perch as a conscious pariah—an outsider who refuses to let compassion enter her judgments—that Arendt found the moral authority with which to judge the Jewish leaders. On the need for such judgment, she and Ignatieff simply disagree.
Enjoy Ignatieff's speech. It is a shining example of how to accept an award with gratitude—appropriate for a post-Thanksgiving read. And let us know what you think.

Irving Howe on Hannah Arendt
The American writer and founder of Dissent magazine Irving Howe wrote many of the best accounts of the controversy over Arendt's publication of Eichmann in Jerusalem. As the controversy swells yet again in the wake of the new movie "Hannah Arendt," Dissent thankfully republishes an excerpt of Howe's testamentary writing about Arendt.
My first encounter with Hannah had come in 1947 when she was editor of Schocken Books, the German-Jewish publishing house recently moved to New York. She needed a part-time assistant to do literary chores (copy for book jackets, cleaning up translations, and so forth), and for the handy sum of $150 a month I took the job. With it came the privilege of visiting Hannah at her office every week. She had not yet published her major work on totalitarianism, but everyone in the intellectual world respected her and some feared her. She liked to "adopt" young people, and while I was not one of her chosen—perhaps because I was deaf to philosophy, or had been contaminated by Marxism, or was visibly intent upon resisting her intellectual lures—she would take an hour off and talk to me about Kafka and Brecht, Yiddish folk tales and American politics.
See more here.
How it Looks to Think
A.O. Scott gives "Hannah Arendt", the new film by Margarethe von Trotta a rave in the New York Times today:
We may need [Arendt's] example more than ever. It's probably too much to hope that Ms. von Trotta and her star, Barbara Sukowa, will do for Arendt what Nora Ephron and Meryl Streep did for Julia Child, but surely a fellow can dream. And in a manner not altogether dissimilar to the way "Julie & Julia" mastered the art of French cooking, "Hannah Arendt" conveys the glamour, charisma and difficulty of a certain kind of German thought. Ms. Sukowa, compact and energetic and not overly concerned with impersonation, captures Arendt's fearsome cerebral power, as well as her warmth and, above all, the essential, unappeasable curiosity that drove her.
The movie turns ideas into the best kind of entertainment. There is an undeniable nostalgic thrill in stepping into an era in New York when philosophers lived in apartments with Hudson River views, and smoking was permitted even in college lecture halls, especially if you are someone for whom the summit of early-'60s Manhattan magic is not Madison Avenue or Macdougal Street but Riverside Drive. But it would be a mistake to file this film with all the other rose-colored midcentury costume dramas.
Read the whole review here.
"Hannah Arendt" opens tonight at Film Forum in Manhattan. We will be on hand and there is a Q&A afterwards with Margarethe von Trotta, Pam Katz (writer), Barbara Sukowa (playing Hannah Arendt) and Janet McTeer (playing Mary McCarthy).
The opening is sold out, but on Wednesday June 5th, there will be a Q&A with Roger Berkowitz, Director of the Hannah Arendt Center, following the 6:30 show. Buy tickets here.

Re: SSD not recognized
Hello everyone,
Thanks for posting on the HP Forums!
I understand you are experiencing an SSD issue with your Elitebook or Probook. However, since those are commercial notebooks, you should post your issue on the notebook board of the HP Enterprise Forums for a better answer.
Have a wonderful day!
Re: SSD not recognized[ Edited ]
03-22-2015 04:13 PM - edited 03-22-2015 07:49 PM
I was able to install a 256GB SSD Kingston on an old HP 6930p with the image copy of the existing 150GB sata hdd. The BIOS config is of no help as it doesn't give me any specific details on the installed harddrive.
My primary goal was to upgrade the 6930p harddrive with an SSD with the replicated volume and contents of the old sata hdd, and the only noticeable change as far as the user is concerned would be a faster boot time performance. My SSD already contained an existing windows OS from another machine, and decided to install it into the HP laptop, just to check if HP can actually recognize it, which it did and it proceeded to boot up into windows successfully. So I know that HP 6930p will have no troubles reading, working on a 256GB SSD.
I proceeded to replicate (or clone) the sata hdd into the SSD using the Windows Backup & Restore utility, but hit a snag when I tried to boot up from the SSD but instead was giving me a non-system disk error. I don't know for sure if the laptop is just not seeing the SSD or its seeing it but there's something wrong with the system volume. Took me some time to figure it out after several trial and error attempts to bypass the error.
Basically, I burned a Windows 7 Ultimate (no product key needed) into a disc and boot up from it and ran the system repair utility including chkdsk. After rebooting, it successfully started Windows from the SSD and finally got to the Desktop. So far so good, no errors, not even a single one. I removed the windows disc, and performed another chkdsk just in case, and then rebooted the laptop. It rebooted into Windows 7 with the new 256GB SSD just fine. User configurations, devmgmt were all good. No errors in Device Manager. The Windows looked exactly the same as the Windows from the old sata hdd, except for the performance which is a lot faster now.
It's a convoluted process but windows already come with the necessary tools for backup and recovery which was good and that's all you need. It was quite satisfying to get this to work.
High-level process:
1. Create a Disc Image of HP 6930p using Windows Backup and Restore utility
2. Replicate the Image onto the SSD using Windows Backup and Restore utility
3. Install SSD and Power up on Windows 7 Install Disc
4. Run Windows repair utility & chkdsk, to fix windows startup.
5. Reboot without Windows 7 disc
Re: SSD not recognized
I have a 256 Gb SSD in my Pavillion D7000 and my SSD is not recognized by the BIOS. Windows 8.1 sees it formated and I was able to migrate the OS, but since my BIOS can't see it, I can't boot from it.

Schalke qualify for the Champions League semi-finals for the first time after they out-thought and out-played Inter from start to finish. Inter's diamond tactic was flawed from the start and despite Samuel Eto'o's best efforts to work a comeback, Schalke's defence was outstanding. Raul was again superb with a goal and an assist as Schalke now prepare for an eagerly awaited clash with Manchester United.
Raul takes a quick free-kick as Schalke pass the ball back to defence with one minute added time to be played.
Eto'o wants a penalty but the referee gives nothing after Howedes' challenge as Inter's heart has disappeared with Nagamoto easily losing possession.
Jurado is replaced by Lukas Schmitz as Schalke look to see out the rest of the tie as easily as possible.
Inter have crumbled despite Eto'o's best efforts but Matip wins the ball back and Schalke now look comfortable in possession.
GOAL! Schalke 2 Inter Milan 1. Howedes puts the icing on the cake as he blasts a superb shot past Julio Cesar after being played through by Raul. Brilliant move and it's goodnight from the AufSchalke Arena.
Schalke again defend superbly and the home fans are getting noisier as the semi-finals is seemingly just ten minutes away.
Papadopoulos clears Maicon's cross into the box as Draxler earns his first touch and holds up play well for Schalke.
Sneijder's effort bends over the wall to send Neuer scrambling but the ball drifts inches past the German's post.
Eto'o wins a free-kick from 30 yards out as Inter must surely score here to stand any chance of qualifying from the tie.
Maicon again fails to cross beyond the first man as Inter are forced to start play from the back with Julio Cesar.
Eto'o is brilliant as he whips the ball around the park but Inter cannot make anything of it as Eto'o is forced to shoot from range and curls an effort wide of goal.
Inter want a penalty but the referee dismisses their protests after Metzelder cleared a Maicon cross.
Miltio comes alive with a shot from outside the area but he cannot get on top of the ball and it blasts into the crowd.
Maicon seems to have hurt his neck from the header, as Inter are lucky not to concede again after Papadopoulos fouls Julio Cesar in the box.
Neuer claims the ball well from Zanetti's cross and throws out far to Edu who forces Maicon to head behind for a corner.
Matip wins the header from the corner but the ball flies over the crossbar as Schalke now start to re-gain the attacking threat.
Sneijder tries a crafty through ball to Eto'o but Schalke defend well as Inter then have to defend at the other end as Lucio makes a good sliding tackle on Jurado.
Sarpei does well to defend against Maicon before Eto'o wins a header in the box but cannot direct his attempt on target.
Maicon tries an ambitious fall to earn a free-kick but the referee isn't buying the defender's claims as Metzelder clears well to stop Milito from breaking.
Schalke have responded excellently since the goal and earn their fourth corner in three minutes, with Howedes putting the ball in the net before offside is given against the defender.
Motta cynically takes out Jurado and takes a yellow card for the Inter team after Schalke were looking to break.
Inter look a much more solid team in the second half as Sneijder plays a neat pass to Eto'o who is closed down just in time by Metzelder.
Julio Cesar takes down Alexander Baumjohann in the box but nothing is given as the Inter goalkeeper grimaces in pain.
Nagatomo does well on the touchlines as Inter spray the ball around well before Uchida regains possession with Schalke playing much slower now.
Eto'o runs offside to collect Sneijder's pass but Leonardo will be pleased with the way Inter have started the second half with seemingly more attacking creativity.
From kick-off Edu bombs into Inter's penalty area but concedes a goal kick. A very energetic start to the second half.
GOAL! Schalke 1 Inter Milan 1. Howedes concedes a corner from Milito and Sneijder's corner falls to Lucio whose header is poked in by Motta.
Sir Alex Ferguson is in the stands and if Schalke continue their fine form then the Man United manager will be quite concerned about the German outfit in the semi-finals.
Sneijder's free-kick from 25 yards is poor as Joel Matip clears before Sneijder's cross to Maicon is wide.
Milto goes down but the referee awards nothing as the Argentine looks to be falling a little too easily at the AufSchalke Arena.
Karl Druwe writes: "Fairly impressive stuff from Schalke so far. I hope Man U don't underestimate this lot like they did with Bayer Leverkusen all those seasons ago. Yes they probably have got the better part of the draw, but Raul and Metzelder have experience at this level. Any team turning over Inter can't be taken for weak competition."
HALF TIME. Schalke 1 Inter 0 (Agg 6-2). Inter's comeback could not have started worse as their lack of attacking threat was hurt even furthur by Raul's sublime finish. Can Inter salvage even a good performance from the match? Send your e-mails to email@example.com
GOAL! Schalke 1 Inter 0. The tie must surely be over as Raul does brilliantly after receiving the ball before skinning Julio Cesar and slotting the ball into the net for his 71st Champions League goal.
Sneijder's corner is cleared again and Neuer commands the ball from a cross back in the box by Stankovic.
Maicon concedes a foul on Edu as Schalke look to finish a relatively comfortable first half with their lead still as it was before the game.

Sneijder shoots from the free-kick but Schalke clear for Nagatomo to again shoot through the entire Schalke team with is effort blazing over the bar.
Metzelder fouls Milito and a free-kick is given to the outrage of the home fans as Miltio complains to the referee about persistent tackle against him
Lucio earns the ball well against Raul despite looking considerably fired up which will give some minor concern to Leonardo.
Jurado forces Ranocchia into a fine block as Raul and Lucio tangle in the penalty area with the referee awarding nothing.
Eto'o charges at Howedes but Schalke easily deal with Inter's talisman as the visitors' diamond formation looks fruitless against the German side.
Metzelder could have easly been booked for a foul on Diego Milito but Stankovic's free-kick is cleared well by Benedikt Howedes.
Dejan Stankovic earns another corner as Inter continue to ask questions of the Inter defence, but Eto'o fouls Neuer to give Schalke a free-kick.
Javier Zanetti is full of smart passing but Schalke's defence is strong and breaking down every Inter attack currently.
Inter defend the free-kick well as Edu's drive is cleared by Lucio, with Inter desperately trying to re-gain a foothold in the tie.
Kyriakos Papadopoulos is fouled by Ranocchia on the edge of the penalty area and Raul lines up the free-kick.
It's congested in the Schalke box as Sneijder tries to find Eto'o but his chip is met easily by Neuer.
Raul does about 300 turns in the box but eventually concedes a foul after four Inter defenders are forced to stop the Spanish striker.
Raul makes space in the penalty area but his header on goal is not powerful enough to trouble Julio Cesar.
Schalke pass the ball around brilliantly to Inter's frustration with the visitors' lack of width looking a worrying issue.
Inter play some neat football between Eto'o, Sneijder and Nagatomo but Schalke just about clear the ball as the visitors start to camp further up the pitch.
Sarpei dispossesses Maicon and wins the ball for Schalke who have started the game strongly to Leonardo's frustration on the touchline.

Atsudo Uchida and Yuto Nagatomo clash with the Inter midfielder defending well and preventing a corner against his Japanese team-mate.
Manuel Neuer catches a shot from Sneijder before Stankovic fouls the Schalke keeper and concedes a free-kick.
Raul and Lucio have some words after a challenge and the referee is forced to cookl things down between the two.
Wesley Sneijder is playing quite deep as he looks to win the ball and start the attacks for Inter, before Schalke win an early corner from Jose Manuel Jurado.
Sky Bet put both Schalke and Inter 13/8 to win the match at full time, with a draw avaliable at 23/10. For those plotting a cheeky punt on Inter qualifying, a 4-0 victory for the Italians is avaliable at 66/1.
Schalke are without the suspended Jefferson Farfan, who picked up a yellow card in the San Siro, while Christoph Metzelder returns from a broken nose. Inter welcome back Lucio, who was sorely missed in the first leg through suspension, and he replaces Christian Chivu as the Romanian is suspended following his dismissal in the San Siro.
Schalke 04: Neuer, Uchida, Metzelder, Howedes, Sarpei, Baumjohann, Matip, Papadopoulos, Jurado, Raul, Edu. Subs: Schober, Plestan, Hao, Schmitz, Charisteas, Karimi, Draxler.
Inter Milan: Julio Cesar, Maicon, Ranocchia, Lucio, Nagatomo, Motta, Stankovic, Zanetti, Sneijder, Eto'o, Milito. Subs: Castellazzi, Cordoba, Kharja, Cambiasso, Materazzi, Pandev, Coutinho.
Welcome to live coverage of the Champions League quarter-final second leg between Schalke and inter Milan at the Arena AufSchalke. Schalke have been the surprise package of this year's competition and they are on course for a meeting with Man United in the semi-finals after they battered Inter 5-2 at the San Siro last week. The German side have never lost a European tie after winning the first leg away from home and Inter have just one victory on their travels in the tournament this term. Could we witness a remarkable comeback in Germany tonight? Send all your e-mails on the night's game to firstname.lastname@example.com .

Bad Transportation News, Part 1
A proposal in the state legislature that would allow the city council or voters to decide between two alternatives for replacing the Alaskan Way Viaduct is bad news for those, like the People's Waterfront Coalition (currently getting good press in the Times), who want the city and state to at least study a third, no-highway alternative. (The viaduct will be shut down for at least four years during construction anyway: Proof, the PWC argues, that we can live without it permanently.)
Narrowing the choice to two alternativesthe mayor's $4 billion-plus Big Dig-style tunnel and a rebuilt, 50-percent-wider elevated viaducteffectively eliminates the no-highway alternative from the debate.
A public vote on the viaduct is a bad idea anyway. The debate about how to replace the crumbling viaduct is complex, and misinformation about the alternatives is rampant. How many people know, for example, that the mayor's "tunnel" would dump six lanes of elevated traffic straight into the north end of Pike Place Market, ruining one of Seattle's most beloved landmarks? Or that a rebuilt viaduct would actually be 25 feet wider than the current structure, and include eight-foot-wide columns and taller guard rails, eliminating West Seattle commuters' beloved views? Giving ill-informed voters the choice between two bad alternatives, and spending billions based on that choice, is lousy public policy.

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. - Softer tires and hot pavement Thursday created a lot of headaches for drivers in both 125-mile qualifying races for the Daytona 500.
The softer tires were supposed to make tire wear an issue in races this year as NASCAR wrestles to put the control of racing back in the hands of drivers. It did that - and more - at the Daytona International Speedway.
"Basically we got what we were wishing for," said Dale Earnhardt Jr., who won the first qualifying race. "We complained all last year. Maybe that's just the drivers. We complain about everything. Until you give us a car that will basically drive itself, we'll all complain.
"When the tires start to go away and the car starts to push around or slide around, the driver starts to do a lot more than he normally does as far as letting off. He's setting himself up for a better exit or entrance. He's trying to change the poor handling by moving around. So the driver has more to do and is more involved in making a better lap time."
Tony Stewart, who was second to Earnhardt Jr. in the first qualifier, said the new tire will allow drivers to race at Daytona instead of following the leader.
"I think we finally have a situation where guys can race," he said. "I think it'll separate the track to where we can actually race each other instead of feeling like we're at the mercy of air and horsepower."
Make A Wish: Race fans can take home a piece of Daytona International Speedway history and help Make-A-Wish Foundation following this year's Daytona 500.
Nicko Sports will offer 7,500 matted and framed photo plaques from the speedway take during Sunday's Daytona 500, and each plaque will include the tiny pieces of tire and asphalt debris left on the track.
The plaques will be sold for $69.95 and $7 of each sale will go to the Make-A-Wish Foundation in Jacksonville, Tampa and Orlando.
The memorabilia will be available through a toll-free telephone number (800) 345-2868 or at www.nikcosports.com.
Keep On Truckin': A crash between defending Florida Dodge Dealers 250 winner Rick Crawford and Andy Houston will force both teams to use backup cars in tonight's NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series race.
Terry Cook will be on the pole when the race starts, followed by Chase Montgomery in second, Travis Kvapil in third, Dennis Setzer in fourth, Matt Crafton in fifth, Carl Edwards in sixth, Houston in seventh, Robert Huffman in eighth, Randy LaJoie in ninth and Bobby Hamilton in 10th.
By switching to a back-up, Houston will start last.
National Security: With President George W. Bush coming to Sunday's Daytona 500, security will be tight.
Speedway officials said anyone with access to any of the suite areas will be subjected to metal detectors and other searches. They also said fans should not bring items that "trigger safety concerns," like knives or pointed scissors.
"Don't bring anything you could not carry on an airplane," a release said.

Ryobi ONE+ Lithium Hybrid Trimmer/Edger Review & GIVEAWAY!!
In my mind, Father's day basically marks the beginning of Summer. And for our family, Summer is all about getting outside and having fun as a family. Our yard becomes the centerpiece of our day in the summer months.
When the yard is running rampant and looks like a jungle, it makes it very difficult to enjoy. My husband works very hard to take care of the yard. In fact, he works too hard. The yard work takes him way too long, so long that is deprives him of fun time with us.
It should not be that hard. I knew there had to be a better way, and then it hit me, when you have the right equipment, things are bound to go more smoothly.
My husband uses a gas powered push mower and a weed eater. Having to mix gas and oil, refill gas, re-crank the weed eater, manually advance the line and so on really eats up a lot of time and causes an abundance if unnecessary effort.
I decided that a practical gift would be perfect for Father's Day, and something that that makes less work for my hubby, and that makes our outdoor family time more enjoyable would be perfect.
I wanted to get him better Lawn care equipment. Since I wanted to upgrade his current equipment, I obviously wanted the best that I could get, so I wanted a brand I know and trust.
Ryobi products are incredible. The quality is out of this world, especially for the affordable price. I knew that a Trimmer from Ryobi would be perfect.
I got him the Ryobi ONE+ Lithium Hybrid Trimmer/Edger. Just as I expected, it is wonderful.
That makes it so perfect for quick jobs, just grab, whack and done. But that might not be practical for larger jobs. No problem, that is where the Hybrid aspect comes in handy. For larger areas, you can use a power(extension) cord. Being able to use this on the electricity from your house is awesome.
Never having to be bound by battery life or fuel is so great. I love that this is cleaner on the environment than gas powered trimmers.
What really sets this apart is how easy it is to use. It is so fast, and it is very powerful. The auto advance line makes the process go so quickly.
Also, because this acts as a trimmer and an edger, it really makes the job a breeze. Hubby would try to do edging with his regular weed eater, and it did not go very well. He loves this though.
Everything about this is perfect. This may not be the most fun gift for Father's Day, but it is practice, something that will be put to use every week(or more) and make dad's days a little easier. The gift of time, that is priceless.
This would be a great gift for any father that does not want to kill himself to care for the yard. And for that reason, Ryobi and I are hosting a giveaway for a Ryobi ONE+ Lithium Hybrid Trimmer/Edger.
One very lucky winner will receive this incredible trimmer/edger. Simply enter below for your chance. Good luck.
*Although I received this at no cost to facilitate a review, all opinions are 100% my own*

I'm sorry to be the bad guy, I purchased this the other day and quickly returned it. Maybe I got a bad one but after my first quick charge and only 8 minutes of light work it needed to be charged. Later after a longer charge and again light work it lasted only 10 minutes. I never return anything but this had to go.ReplyDelete
This is another nice product included in the list of best weed wacker .It has received a total rating of 4.5/5. Black & Decker NST1118 is a cordless gardening tool powered by a 40V lithium battery. It offers an amazing functionality. With the tool, you can quickly trim your garden.ReplyDelete

COLLEGE STATION -- Texas A&M soccer player Paige Carmichael was named a National Strength and Conditioning Association All-American in recognition of her achievement in the development of improved athletic performance through total conditioning.
"Paige is one of the most intense and determined athletes that I have ever had the pleasure to work with," A&M strength and conditioning coach Paul Sealey said. "Her work ethic is one of the main reasons she was elected a team captain as a junior, she is always looking to do something extra to make herself and team better."
Carmichael finished her junior campaign playing in all 24 of the Aggies' matches. The Aggies' co-captain scored one goal and chipped in six assists. Last week, at the team's annual banquet, Carmichael was honored as the Iron Aggie for her achievement in the weight room and with the team's Perseverance Award for her "never say die" attitude, overcoming all obstacles.

As featured on "The Martha Stewart Show" and "The Today Show" and in "People Magazine" Hip. Cool. Fashion-forward. These aren t adjectives you d ordinarily think of applying to baked goods.Think again. Not every baker wants to re-create Grandma's pound cake or cherry pie. Matt Lewis and Renato Poliafito certainly didn t, when they left their advertising careers behind, pooled their life savings, and opened their dream bakery, Baked, in Brooklyn, New York, a few years back. The visions that danced in their heads were of other, brand-new kinds of confections . . .Things like a Malt Ball Cake with Milk Chocolate Frosting, which captures the flavor of their favorite Whoppers candies (and ups the ante with a malted milk ball garnish). Things like spicy Chipotle Cheddar Biscuits that really wake up your taste buds at breakfast time. Things like a Sweet and Salty Cake created expressly for adults who are as salt-craving ?as they are sweet-toothed.Which is not to say that Lewis and Poliafito sidestep tradition absolutely. Their Chocolate Pie (whose filling uses Ovaltine) pays loving homage to the classic roadside-diner dessert. Their Baked Brownies will wow even the most discriminating brownie connoisseur. And their Chocolate Chip Cookies? Words cannot describe. Whether trendsetting or tried-and-true, every idea in this book is freshly "Baked.
