1948/1998 - Reflections on a half-century of Israel (April-May 1998)
(Update, 10/29/2005: This exchange from 1998 brings back a situation and state of mind that abruptly disappeared in 2000, and that now seem almost unimaginably distant.
For the sake of privacy, I have concealed the names of correspondents who responded to my original e-mail message, except for the ones who asked me to make this information available. Some of these correspondents, by the way, have changed their minds on some issues since 1998, or at least modified their positions ... which is hardly surprising, if only because historical realities have not been static. --Jeff Weintraub)

(April 30, 1998 - 8:37 pm EDT)
As this strange century winds to its end,
's 50th birthday arouses in me a curious mixture of satisfaction, moral ambivalence, political dismay, emotional exhaustion, and ethnic pride. Israel
I used to invest a good deal of emotional energy in worrying about
's long‑term survival. But not for a while. The unexpected collapse of the Israel Soviet Union and the developments that followed from it, including the Gulf War, changed everything (at least for the foreseeable future). Not only did this transform the whole geo‑political situation, but it also led to a dramatic dampening‑down of the energy, virulence, and effectiveness of international anti‑Zionism. (The ideological bankruptcy of Arab nationalism, the disillusionment with revolutionary myths for which the PLO was a symbolic repository, and alarm over the rise of Islamic‑fundamentalist politics in the Arab world have helped, too. Even the pieces about in the latest issues of the Nation have displayed a comically self‑conscious "balance," as opposed to their previous tone of rabid anti‑Zionism.) None of this means that Israel has the long‑term security of and recognized legitimacy of, say, Israel or the France . But Netherlands 's very existence is no longer such an urgent issue. Israel
All this is a tremendously positive development, of course, but it also complicates matters in a lot of ways. It changes the focus of one's worries ... and affects the whole texture of my emotional involvement with
. Israel still tugs at my heart, but not in the same way. I've always been a Zionist in the post‑1948 sense of being an anti‑anti‑Zionist (i.e., committed to Israel's survival); but (unlike Leon) I've never been a Zionist in the classic sense of wanting to be an Israeli, or believing that a genuinely Jewish life (whatever that might be) can only be lived in a self‑governing Jewish nation‑state. On the contrary, I'm very much a diaspora Jew and proud of it ... and as I get older, I guess, also more self‑consciously an American Jew (a citizen of the Alternative Homeland). These nuances were pushed into the background by the more sharp and extreme moral outlines of the pre‑1989 situation. But now my mixed feelings about Israel can become more salient. Israel
Also, people like us are all suffering from having our hopes raised by the election of Rabin (which I remember Gershon describing as "almost a miracle"), the agreement with the PLO, the increasing agreements with the Arab states, the prospect of end of the occupation (with its massively corrupting effect on all aspects of Israeli life), and all the rest ... followed by the assassination of Rabin, everything that followed from that, and the present porquería. There's not only a sense of historic opportunities being missed, but the whole question of where Israeli politics and society are drifting in the long run makes me uneasy.
(And all this has only reinforced other pessimistic feelings that I've tried to suppress. I always wondered whether the PLO and Chairman Arafat could actually construct a stable and humanly acceptable regime in the
West Bank and , even under the best of circumstances‑‑let alone the actual circumstances. Now it seems increasingly likely to me that if the Israeli army simply pulled out of the West Bank tomorrow, taking the settlers from Brooklyn with them, this would just trigger a Palestinian civil war, with outside Arab powers taking sides and eventually getting involved. I hope I'm being excessively pessimistic about that...) Gaza
So, as I say, this historic moment leaves me with an odd tangle of ambivalent emotions. And you?

Now seriously, I have been ambivalent since the very moment I became a Zionist. I was a peace activist in
, and on the basis of my experience living there, I never believed that the destruction of Israel was a serious threat or prospect. So I kept a more open attitude, was more receptive to the entire issue of the underside of the enterprise. And I am still convinced that this is a good time, it has never been so good for Israel ... from the p/view of the politics of the relations with the Arabs I mean.... It is a matter of time, the process is being delayed by the right, but good marxists believe that you cannot go against history, and the constellation of forces at the level of the structure of the conflict pushes in one direction only. Israel
The problem you are talking about is more the issue of the truth of
as a state of the Jews... I am more disappointed every day. Lately I have had a lot of opportunities to think about the entire matter of Israel and the Holocaust... we'll talk about that when we meet [….] Israel

I generally agree, though I must admit that I relaxed when Sadat went to
. I mean at least Jerusalem was no longer completely surrounded by enemies. But I won't relax fully until the Iraqi regime is totally and utterly defanged with no prospect of launching anything that could do extensive damage to Israel . Israel
What depresses me most about
is that it has such a large, virulent Right, that the peace process has not become a consensual matter. Depressing but not surprising. Israel

Subject: Re:
Ah yes. Quite the emotional tangle.
And yet, like you I am a knee-jerk anti‑anti‑Zionist. I guess it is ok for me to have higher expectations of
than other nations, but I get annoyed when non‑Jews do. So I find myself disgusted with those who find every fault with Israel while ignoring far more grievous faults in other Israel Middle East nations. At the same time, at some highly confused level, I DO want to be better. Just being "no worse than" Israel or Syria , seems like not enough for me. Jordan
Not enough, especially since,
and Syria don't ask for my money or loyalty, or political support! I think American Jews are too often cowed into silence, by the "you are not here, you don't suffer, you don't understand" argument. Jordan , truth to tell, is utterly dependent on our political support, and as such we should be able to provide what it needs most: a sympathetic, supportive, but realistic critic. A critic who, unlike so many others, DOES want to see Israel prosper and grow, but is not willing to be a rubber stamp for anything any Israeli govt. does! Israel
When the survival of
as a nation was at stake, such gripes seemed trivial and irrelevant. They no longer do. I suppose that is why I am more willing to be mad at Israel and at govt's that allow themselves to be held hostage to anti‑democratic forces in black hats. Israel
As for peace, these days it seems like it is
that "never misses an opportunity to miss an opportunity." Jews are supposed to be smarter than this! You wonder whether a Palestinian state could survive, even if Israel withdrew tomorrow. I agree with your concern ‑‑ but I also think that this is not our problem. Ultimately the Palestinians will have to make their journey through the nation state, and it will be a nasty one Their secular‑religious struggle will be at least as nasty as ours. ("OURS"? I mean Israel 's. Maybe I am more Zionist than I admit!). But it is high time Israel stopped postponing that conflict by giving them a common enemy! Israel
Ultimately, my most pollyanna‑ish optimistic fantasy for the region is, fifty years from now, three (may 4 depending on what happens in
) linked nations, with common worker rights, linked currencies, cooperation in water rights, tourism. etc...A middle eastern Bel‑neth‑lux... Three nations with weak boundaries, and cultural space allowing the secularists, feminists or other liberals to make links to resist the fundamentalists in each camp. Ultimately Hannan Ashwari has more in common with Israeli women's rights folks than either do with the black/hat, black/veil de facto alliance. But that will never happen, can never happen, until the Palestinians get a chance to be a nation, and Lebanon Israel
gets a chance to be boring and take a break from the histrionics of life-and-death drama. And that will never happen so long as young men continue to be so hopeless that suicide bombing seems a reasonable course of action! The Arabs can never push
into the sea militarily, and Israel will never be able to stop terrorism so long as its actions keep producing people willing to die to make a point. And both sides will have to find a way to live with that reality. Israel
Anyway, I am confused. So onto to a simpler matter. [….]

>Hola Chaver,
Hola, chaver! nice to hear from you!
it is interesting that precisely at this point in time so many of us [academic jews of our generation] need to take stock about
and our feelings toward it. in the past few weeks I have been talking about this issue with several people, and in general I find myself to the right of most of them as far as the palestinian/israeli conflict is concerned, but more or less in the same wavelength in relation to the future of israel, even though the issues that worry me in this regard are a bit different than the ones people focus on. israel
since my early 20s I am a zionist in the same sense as you [and this included, while being in
, a definition of myself as a non‑zionist, because my interlocutors were hashomer hatzair types, for whom Zionism meant alya], but I had traveled to argentina only once, in the mid‑1980s. I was invited to the world congress of jewish studies, and we stayed after the meeting, for 2 weeks. I had complex emotions while there, but I was just a standard academic tourist. In 1994, I was a visiting fellow at the Truman institute of the hebrew u., and that time I "lived" there: I had an apartment in rehavia, took the bus every day, etc. I made many friends, in several universities. ever since, I have been back several times, because I became a member of 1‑2 networks, and they kept inviting me. I made several personal friends, and I am in close touch with some of them. I read the post [and now haaretz] frequently, follow israeli politics, etc.. so, over time, I got closer to israel and the israelis. israel
I said I am to the right of most people in relation to the palestinian conflict. I am closer to podhoretz and robert frost [the "good fences" argument] than to peres and tom friedman. my israeli friends are all in Peace Now. perhaps my skepticism derives from my academic background [I am a political sociologist trained by "modernization" scholars], and I see very well the functions that the hatred for
performs in the arab and islamic world. And I learned from ajami and gellner that there are few reasons to expect that this will change anytime soon. Unlike you, I am still concerned about major threats to israel : non‑conventional weapons, iranian terrorism, etc.. perhaps this is due to the blowing up of the embassy and the jewish community buildings in israel . buenos aires
my pessimism about the future does not have anything to do with terrorism. it has to do with the very success of
. its achievements in terms of social integration, economic development, democracy, state effectiveness, science and technology, have been extraordinary in the literal sense of the term, but the outcome of this social transformation has been a value change a la inglehart among the affluent, the educated, and the young. they are becoming truly secular, disenchanted of nationalism and idealism. it is this value change, more than the various rifts within israeli society [secular vs. religious, ashkenazi vs. sephardi, etc.] that makes me believe that the israel of the future will not be a jewish state in the zionist sense of the term. rather, it will be "a nation like the others", an israeli nation, many of whose citizens will profess the jewish religion. israel
in any case, I regret I was not there this week. most people I know were celebrating in a very sober and subdued way, with picnics and family gatherings. even the lack of hoopla is something I appreciate.

Hi Jeff,
Thanks for that. It's comforting, and moving, to read things like this ‑ intelligent support for Israel, and open acknowledgment of the anti-Semitism in the Arab world, by people who are a) intellectuals, and b) not passionate Zionists (let alone passionate right‑wing Zionists).
If the choice is between Netanyahu and the more deluded leftists, I think at this point the latter represent not only a more moral but a more realistic position: as long as Israel remains roughly as strong as it is now, taking even some excessive risks for peace is more likely to be in Israel's interests than returning to the state of war (esp. with a Palestinian entity, now with a better infrastructure and better‑trained military, right over the border).
I've always been a Peace Now‑nik, perhaps excessively so, but I was willing to entertain the hope, when Netanyahu first came in, that the right would pursue a slower, more hard‑line, but ultimately more successful version of the peace process. Left‑wingers I know and respect in
felt that it should be the Likud, in the end, that signed the peace treaty because that alone would bring the bulk of the country along. I can see that. But Netanyahu, I'm fairly sure now, is playing a game designed entirely to protect his own skin. He's a thorough coward, and he doesn't want to take the slightest risk of going the way Rabin did. He can't *just* tear up the Oslo agreements, though, because of the scandal that would cause in the US (and, to some extent, in Israel ‑ not to mention the fact that he would then have full‑fledged war on his hands, and that doesn't suit his cowardly instincts either), so he continually offers little carrots here and there, to make it look as if he is pursuing the peace process, and then weasels out of even the smallest step forward. Many people seem to have caught on to this game (Shamir played exactly the same one, for ideological reasons: he said as much, quite explicitly, a few weeks after leaving office), but the American State Department and media don't want to believe it... Israel
Those are my depressing thoughts for the morning.

Hello Jeff:
Thanks for your prompt reply. I have not seen a detailed proposal for a simple reason: netanyahu asked for it not to be made public and had 81 senators send a letter to
to that effect. But its essence is in Thomas Friedman's article from, I think, two days ago. I am very gratified that you are getting involved in this! Clinton
By the way, I am considering a new project, titled tentatively "Was the Yom Kippur War Unavoidable?" Raises questions about hubris, euphoria, lack of public debate, and other human failings. In short, it deals with an issue that parallels today. Closing the window on peace opens up the door to war.
Finally, to get another perspective on
which is more cheerful here is he following news item: Israel

, Dana International won the Eurovision song contest in Israel on Saturday, performing the song "Diva" written by Yoav Ginai and Zvika Pik, MA'ARIV reported. The audience warmly supported Dana, as did the British press, which had predicted her victory. Dana, who is a transvestite, said that her victory is a signal that the world is making progress. "We are all equal," Dana said. Dedicating her victory to Birmingham, Great Britain , Dana said, "This is my gift for the State's 50th Anniversary." Israel Radio, KOL YISRAEL, reported that hundreds of people celebrated Dana's victory in Tel Aviv's Israel Rabin Squareshortly after the vote was announced.

Dear Jeff,
Good to hear from you again. So many things to say, and tell you its hard to know where to begin.
As concerns your reflections on
, I remain perplexed by your attitude. Its a baby killer state. Imagine if, here in Israel , the government said that Jews couldn't buy homes in certain areas of England because it undermined the 'christian character of the state'. I would be very unhappy about it. That is true for non‑Jews all over London . I don't feel any affinity to Sefardim, to Ethiopian Jews. I am, like you, a diaspora man, always in exile, like everybody else. The idea of a 'homeland' for any so-called 'nation' is one of the most revolting concepts to emerge from the nineteenth century and I declare war on it. The Jewish idea of a home, on the other hand, a place with a front door, a television, fatty foods and plenty of sugar based biscuits, is one I carry with me wherever I go. Israel
The point is, Rabin was a militaristic killer, netinyahu is the logical development of Rabin, if you have a Jewish State then two things follow. The first is that it must be Jewish, and the nature of the Jewish religion is something I feel you have an uncharacteristically bland view of. Its horrible on divorce, marriage, attitudes to Goyim and the rest. As a religion, it is, morally speaking, repulsive. That is not to say that a Jewish culture did not develop that was in many ways opposed to that religion. A compassionate and funny culture which has found its greatest expression in the
in the television and movie industries. I like Seinfeld. I think its distinctively Jewish. United States
reaches fifty, I only wish it bad. As I wish bad to all states based on religion, race or ethnicity. I hate Israel , Ireland and Iran with the same passion. I think Indonesia will become more religious, I think it will continue to treat Palestinians as less than human, I think it will continue to wage war on Jewish Ashkenazi secularism. I think it a disgrace and a blot on the world. Israel
and don't get too hung up on ethnic pride. Its good to hear from you again and please write soon, America
Love as ever,

Hey Jeff,
It did take me back and I had to stand up and walk away from the computer when I read what I wrote.
Things do change, and my awareness of Muslim Jew-hate is far stronger now than then, equally my love of the Jewish people is far stronger. Although at an ethical level I do reject the right to national self-determination as a concept as it must lead to endless war, as a least worse alternative I have moved from a single secular state to a two state solution.
Anyway, we can talk about this. I think we have to stand by what we wrote at the time and give reasons for why we have changed our mind, so please include my name and even e-mail link as this is a conversation that is well worth having, and the sentence about front doors televsiion and sugar based biscuits seems funny.
Does hoshana rabba sound good to you as a pen name?

If you think there's never enough computerized numerical control in your life perhaps the pizza plotter should be your next project. This is a large 2-axis machine that shoots pressurized sauce onto a pizza crust. It's a food-grade RepStrap and appears to use a garden sprayer as a reservoir. They learned their lesson when a loose hose clamp sprayed sauce around the room. We're thinking this is a bit of reinventing the wheel as pizza-making factories but it's fun nonetheless.

why not use a turntable for the crust plate and rotate the pie and distribute the sauce like a cd burner.
Too much sauce!!!
With experience working at Little Caesars, I'll tell you… that is way too much sauce.
I think the measurement is 3oz for a large pizza. It's got to be spread evenly and very thin.
Yep, too much sauce to pass at the place I used to work too. Just the right amount, however, for the ones I made for myself.
Subtitle text here!
there are too many ways to serve a pizza to mention, extra sauce is not a problem, I agree with the turntable idea, could even rig a large spoon to the side of the sauce distributor to smooth out the sauce as the crust spins, now we need to put it on a conveyor and get it over to the autocheeser, and then off to the auto topper, this could be lots of fun to implement.
I hate you for posting this. Now i have to order pizza, like right now… I love you for posting this.
the fun part is the rocket-powered delivery system.
That requires a seperate machine to force-feed pepperoni to chihuahuas…
Meh – let me know when it starts with the dough and hands me a baked pizza – THATS A HACK.
This, a single step in a multi step process – not so much.
needs to do toppings placement :P
i would do that but i don't have the money to build such a thing… although if made portable it could probably pay for it self…*draws loan*…
Turntable Sauce machines already exist. The franchise where work (little caesars) we are basically testing them. I also believe we own the most. The company is Wunder-bar.
Also it's not 3 ounces of sauce. it's more than that but not much more.
Next step, a pick & place machine for putting on toppings!
also, way too much sauce.
Thats great. Thanks for information.
I'm with vonskippy here. It should squirt out the dough, cook it, squirt out the sauce, layer on cheese and pepperoni, and cook it again.
Then we get robot delivery guys and pizza hut will be rolling in the dough.
Why does it pause between vector changes? Seems pretty dodgy from a plotting point of view.
By the time that POS make one pizza, a Mexican has made 10 LOL
Im Italian…..what a orrible thing….!
Agreed with peter regarding the pauses – wtf. It should be capable of very smooth circles, etc – it does a loose octagon with terrible stops – and no solenoid valve to start/stop the flow during the pauses. Don't publish your work until its not garbage.
@ little caesars people above == 3oz is not enough for good pizza. little ceasars shouldn't exit their pizza is so terrible. I guess selling to a price point has its limitations (selling garbage).
@frollard, I think the purpose of publishing a work is to display what they have developed so far. I'd rather see v1.0, v1.1,v1.2,v1.3 of a design than a finished v4.0. If we aren't here to learn then I guess we are just showing off? Then we are no better then the chest thumping jocks that plagued our high schools years ago.
I would hardly consider an ancient hacked printer to be food grade.. hah
Seriously did anyone else order pizza after reading this? I totally did; It was awesome.
3oz of sauce makes for a dry pizza.
Oh wait, you said little Caesar's, yup that's about right.
I am surprised nobody posted this much much better pizza vending machine: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g-QYjZdFjV4&feature=related
Pizza with fresh dough in 2 minutes.
I like sauce :)
overkill. simply spin the dough and linear actuate from the middle out. I can do this with only a couple of logic chips and limit switches.
Now get me a dough squirter to make the crust, then feed a stick of pepperoni into a slicer as well as a cheese dumper and you got a "print a pizza" device instead of a "squirt a goo" device that is mislabelled as a print a pizza device.
dough + sauce != pizza
this thing is half-done at best.
Next thing you know, they'll build a replicator…
"Earl Grey, HOT!" — Captain Jean Luc Picard
I don't get this at all. What is the point if you can do it faster and better by hand? It isn't even like this produces actual pizzas, it just completes (poorly) a single step in the process. A human still has to do the other steps manually.
Plus, as already said, there are a number of ways to automate this much better.
@joe larson & vonskippy
making pizza dough takes hours and a little bit of manual labor. on the other hand, it would be kind of cool to see a robot toss/stretch dough.
3 oz. of sauce? For a large( 14 in.) pizza?? I think I hear several Italian pie makers rolling in their graves. That's like saying you use real shredded mozzarella on your pizza. As any true pie maker would tell you, trying to shred it breaks it up and therefore makes it unuseable for the pizza. That's why it's always sliced.
Damn, now I'm hungry. Where the hell did that menu go?
Costco puts it's sauce on pizzas using the "cd burning" like method someone mentioned above, it only takes a few seconds and is too much fun to watch.
The costco by my place has a window into the kitchen specifically where they do that.
I used to work at Domino's Pizza and my store got a machine that automatically sauced pizzas for consistency. It had a rotating turntable and a spigot that would drop sauce from the outside in as it spun. yeah that would be cd burning method too.

@Pizza Guy
More than likely using the FDM method that everyone seems to be dead set on using for making pizza, it would end up being more of a slurry paste put down in a somewhat circular pattern while a heated platform was brought up to temperature that slowly cooked the bottom of the "pizza" so that you could transfer it to an oven.

Packing cubes- TriStar vs Aeronaut
new posts
I know this doesn't answer your question but I have the aeronaut with packing cube backpack (for the aeronaut) and it fits in perfectly to the aeronaut. If you're looking for packing cubes that fit perfectly, then get the packing cubes designed for the aeronaut. If you don't really care if they fit then the tri-star packing cubes will work fine.
I have tried the small tri-star packing cube (the all fabric one designed for shoes) in the side pocket of the aeronaut and it works fine. I decided it wasn't really needed though as the side pocket itself is a nice space for shoes already.
I've found that the a size difference of under an inch or so makes little difference unless the stuff in the cube shouldn't be shmushed (a technical term meaning lightly crushed). Unsless you are packing dress shirts that take up the full size of the cube, butting a slightly larger cube in a smaller bag makes little difference.
TB packing cubes are sized to take advantage of every last mm of available space, but I just use whicher packing cube I have if it is close. I also have an assortment of Eagle Creek and eBags cubes that I regularly use in TB and redOxx bags.
I do wish that TB would label the packing cubes for which bag they go with.When in trouble, obfuscate.
Have a question? @Darcy (to make sure I see it)
Current carry: testing new potential materials in the form of Original Large Shop Bags.
When in trouble, obfuscate.
Thanks for all the input everyone!
I own a nearly full set of cubes for the TS (PCBP, 2 mediums and a small) and I am 98% sure that I am getting an Aeronaut as a Birthday present from the wonderful Missus Mac. (She is perfect except for that whole, you know, taste in men thing.)
I have not packed an Aeronaut before but here are my initial thoughts:
Side pockets- cubes might not be all that useful? I am likely to put shoes in here in a stuff sack and toiletries and stuff in the other.
I think the TS PCBP will work fine in the main compartment. The large and small cubes are rather different in shape...so I may grab one of each of those.
Opinions anyone?============================================
I've both bags and full sets of cubes for each. I think they're great! I really like the end pocket ones for the Aeronaut as you can easily lay them out on a table, pack them carefully and then insert them I the end pockets. At the other end, I can unpack quickly with each going to its appropriate part of the house and unpacked there - no running back and forth with handfuls of stuff. In the main body, a packing cube plus a packing cube backpack pretty much fill the space. One holds all the clothes I carry on my travels, the other my wife's overflow from her bag. On the last trip, I also squeezed in her coat, my Tilley winter hat, my gloves and a down waistcoat. It looked pretty full, but, to be honest there was an awful lot of air in there as the cubes weren't really full.
In my wife's Tri-Star, her clothes were in the large packing cube in the back - I can't stress how important packing this properly is! I was wittering on about this on Tuesday in Alicante airport (because her bag looked like a barrel) so much that she opened the bag and said "how should I've done it then?!" So she repacked it under my direction. As a result, it could have held much more, and it didn't look like a barrel! The front portion had her Medium Café Bag and a small packing cube in it. The middle had my 13" MacBook Pro (it's feeling heavy these days!) in a Crumpler Gimp and the 3d cube with our liquids, and four pairs of rolled up socks in the bottom to protect the computer!
The Aeronaut main bags won't fit in the Tri-Star and the large Tri-Star one won't really fit in the Aeronaut! The small Tri-Star one will fit in the Aeronaut, but it rattles around in there. The packing cube shoulder bag that fits the Tri-Star will fit in the Aeronaut pockets, but won't fill them fully. All in all, you'll get best service using the right cubes for the right part of each bag.
On an unrelated note...i have a trip to Edinburgh coming up in April. Any hotel recommendations or any sites I should make sure to see?
Or just any local beer that is too good to pass up!============================================
I love packing cubes. It is not only easier to pack with packing cubes but also so much easier to unpack.
Yes, the one end of the Aeronaut is great for shoes and the other end is perfect for electronics/shaving gear and your 3-1-1 bag.When in trouble, obfuscate.
I realise this is a cliché, but you have to visit the castle. The views of both the old and the new towns are stunning. Hollywood House (the queen's official residence in Scotland) and the new Parliament are worth a visit. They are at the opposite end of the Royal Mile to the castle.
There's a great restraurant called The Witchery by the Castle (can you guess what it's next to?) or just up from Holyrood there's a great Mexican called Pancho Villas. In the New Town (Princes St./George St.) there are lots of good restraurants. On George St. there's a tapas place called Café Andaluz, a vegetarian place called Hendersons is on Hanover St. (Just north off George St.), on Thistle St. (Parallel to George St) there's a really good fish restaurant called Fisher's in the city (a quarter owned by an American lady called Tia), back on George St. There's a couple of smart Italians, Ameroni on the corner of St Andrew's Sq. and Cento Tre at, would you believe 103 George St.? And then there's my current favourite, Oishii in the west end of Rose St. It's a small sushi restaurant, with some very mixed Trip Advisor reviews, but it's run by a proper Japanese sushi chef called Katsuo. He makes just the best sushi. Much of the rest of their fare is fairly standard, but the sushi is exceptional! If you go there say Eric sent you and if he looks puzzled, which he usualy does say big, fat, bald with an electric scooter! He's been making me sushi for a dozen or more years. Oddly, the waiter is Spanish and the rest of the kitchen staff are a mixed bunch!
Scottish beer is rubbish! Horrible sweet stuff! However, if you see any of the Broughton Brewery ales (Broughton, Greenmantle, Merlindale, Old Jock) give them a try if only because as a student, I worked there for a few summers and Christmases! I'm more of a wine drinker, so I recommend Marques De Cazares (not sure of the spelling, but it's number 54 on the Cafe Andaluz wine list), Cloudy Bay at Fishers, the house Chiante at Ameroni, and the Japanese Green Tea of a Japanese beer at Oishii. God only knows what you'd drink at Hendersons as I'm not a vegetarian so haven't been there since my vegetarian step-father died almost 20 years ago - people tell me it's good though!
If you just want a drink, stick to what we do best... single malt scotch whisky, literally 'the water of life'! Please, however, note: 1. there is never an 'e' in whisky, 2. There is never ice in whisky and 3. A little cool water brings out the flavour, but don't drown it! Island malts are, for my money, the best, with the Islands of Islay (pronounced eye-la) Shetland and Jura being my favourites. If they are too peaty and salty for you, try The MacAllan which is a highland malt, so much lighter and finer with neither peat nor salt, but still very drinkable. Just watch what you're being charged - two glasses of a 1984 Isle of Jura cost me £36 the other day, and the waitress assured me she'd discounted it!
Anything else I can tell you? Just ask!
Why are you coming? Business or pleasure?

What about coordinating the zip-pull on the cube with the one on the pocket it matches with... or am I taking this too far now?
Actually I don't seem to have a problem telling them apart simply by size and shape. The main Tri-Star one is long and thin, whereas the aeronaut ones are square. Although the medium TriStar cube is also square, it is also much smaller. The aeronaut end pocket cubes are all Dyneema, whilst the similar packing cube shoulder bag has a pocket on the side and D rings on the ends.
That being said, if I could have got each in a different colour, As I did with my stuff sacks, Then it would've been easier to say to my wife 'oh yes that's in the wasabi coloured cube' or 'that's in the red stuff sack', rather than to say 'oh it's in the long, thin one with no mesh on the sides, but a zipped pocket and D-rings on the ends!' But, other than the PCBP in Iberian, the choice was steel or steel!

NAIRN, STEPHEN, miller and merchant; b. 14 Aug. 1838 in Kelvinside, Glasgow, son of John Nairn and Margaret Kirkland; m. 9 Nov. 1881 Elizabeth Watt, and they had two children; d. 14 Oct. 1900 in Winnipeg.
In his early business career in Scotland Stephen Nairn operated a mill near Glasgow in partnership with his brother James. In 1863 he immigrated to Upper Canada and became associated with his eldest brother, Alexander, in a grain and milling business at Rockwood. Around 1875 the brothers established the firm of A. and S. Nairn in Toronto and did extensive business as wharfingers and coal merchants. In 1884 the partnership was dissolved and Stephen moved to Winnipeg, where he built the first oatmeal mill in the city. It was situated in the historic Point Douglas area, adjacent to the large flour-mill of the Ogilvie Milling Company [see William Watson Ogilvie] which had been established only a few years earlier. In addition to oatmeal, then a dietary staple of the many Scottish inhabitants of Manitoba, Nairn's mill produced rolled oats, pot and pearl barley, and breakfast foods.
At the time of Nairn's arrival in Winnipeg, Fort William (Thunder Bay, Ont.) had just received its first shipment of wheat from the west via the newly completed Canadian Pacific Railway, and the great potential of Manitoba and the North-West Territories for the production of grain was just beginning to be perceived. Nairn soon became closely involved in this rapidly developing industry. After the Winnipeg Grain and Produce Exchange was formed in 1887 [see Joseph Harris] Nairn was elected a member of its first council, and in 1896 he served as its president. He was also a member of the Winnipeg Board of Trade, serving as its president in 1891, as chairman of its board of grain examiners in 1888–89, and, from 1889 until his death in 1900, as chairman of its board of flour and meal examiners and a member of its general grain committee.
Before 1889, much to the annoyance of the Winnipeg grain trade, the standards for western hard wheat were being set largely by easterners. It was in 1888, during Nairn's term as chairman of the board of grain examiners, that his efforts and those of his colleagues to have this perceived injustice rectified began to succeed. In October of that year authority was given by the minister of inland revenue for the Winnipeg Board of Trade to collect samples and select standards for Manitoba wheat, and in May of the following year the General Inspection Act of 1874 was amended to provide for a permanent Western Standards Board for western grain.
Throughout his years in Winnipeg Nairn took a keen interest in immigration and the development of the west. In 1896, when he attended the third Congress of Chambers of Commerce of the Empire in London, he, along with Sir Donald Alexander Smith* and others, spoke in support of greater encouragement for emigration from the British Isles to the colonies.
In 1898, despite the concerted efforts of the WGPE and the Winnipeg Board of Trade, the oatmeal industry in Manitoba and the North-West Territories was being adversely affected by the tariff policy of the Canadian government, whose duty on imported oats was 100 per cent higher than that on imported meal. The unfair disparity allowed oatmeal produced in the northern United States to be brought across the border at prices with which western millers were unable to compete. This situation no doubt contributed to Nairn's decision in May of that year to accept an offer from the Ogilvie Milling Company to purchase his mill. Following the sale, he continued as a grain merchant and a member of the WGPE until his death two years later.
Although he was plain and unostentatious, Nairn took a commendable interest in public affairs. A member of Knox Presbyterian Church, he was chairman of its board of managers from 1890 to 1892. He was a member of the board of directors of the Winnipeg General Hospital from 1889 until he died, a commissioner of the Winnipeg Parks Board, a director of the Winnipeg Industrial Exhibition Association, and a member of the Historical and Scientific Society of Manitoba.

MEDIA ADVISORY—Insurance Industry Topic Released onto the FASB Accounting Standards CodificationTM for the Verification Phase
Norwalk, CT, September 19, 2008—The Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) has released the Insurance Industry Topic to the FASB Accounting Standards CodificationTM (Codification). Now in its verification phase, the Codification simplifies the organization of thousands of authoritative U.S. accounting pronouncements issued by multiple standard setters.
"The Insurance Industry Topic completes initially planned topics in the Codification. It moves one step further in the evolution of the Codification, which, when approved in April 2009, will become the single source of authoritative U.S. GAAP," states Tom Hoey, project director for the FASB Codification project. "During the current verification period, constituents are encouraged to provide their input on whether the Business Combinations Topic and all other Codification content accurately reflect U.S. GAAP."
Users who register at http://asc.fasb.org are able to access and review the online Codification, including the newly added Business Combinations Topic, free of charge. The Codification's one-year verification phase, which ends January 15, 2009, gives constituents the chance to become acquainted with the Codification's new structure and provide the FASB with feedback regarding any content issues before it becomes authoritative.
The Insurance Industry Topic integrates various standards, including FASB Statement No. 60, Accounting and Reporting by Insurance Enterprises; FASB Statement No. 113, Accounting and Reporting for Reinsurance of Short-Duration and Long-Duration Contracts; AICPA Statement of Position 00-3, Accounting by Insurance Enterprises for Demutualizations and Formations of Mutual Insurance Holding Companies and for Certain Long-Duration Participating Contracts; AICPA Statement of Position 03-1, Accounting and Reporting by Insurance Enterprises for Certain Nontraditional Long-Duration Contracts and for Separate Accounts; AICPA Statement of Position 05-1, Accounting by Insurance Enterprises for Deferred Acquisition Costs in Connection With Modifications or Exchanges of Insurance Contracts; and various EITF Issues and SEC literature. Updates for FASB Statement Nos. 141(R), 160, and 163 will be processed within the coming weeks.
Users are advised that the Codification content is not yet approved as authoritative and, therefore, they must verify research results using their existing resources for the currently effective literature. In April 2009, the FASB expects to approve the Codification content—excluding related SEC content—as the single authoritative source of U.S. accounting and reporting standards.
The Codification does not include governmental accounting standards.
About the Financial Accounting Standards Board
Since 1973, the Financial Accounting Standards Board has been the designated organization in the private sector for establishing standards of financial accounting and reporting. Those standards govern the preparation of financial reports and are officially recognized as authoritative by the Securities and Exchange Commission and the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. Such standards are essential to the efficient functioning of the economy because investors, creditors, auditors, and others rely on credible, transparent, and comparable financial information.

This image from NASA's Dawn spacecraft shows a young crater on Vesta that is 9 miles (15 kilometers) in diameter. Layering is visible in the crater walls, as are large boulders that were thrown out in the material ejected from the impact. The ejected material likely once resided deep within Vesta, since this crater formed within the deep Rheasilvia impact basin. It may provide clues to Vesta's composition at depth.
This image was obtained by Dawn's framing camera image was acquired on Dec. 21, 2011, during Dawn's low-altitude mapping orbit (on average 130 miles or 210 kilometers above the surface). Rheasilvia is located at the south pole of Vesta. The image covers an area of 260 square miles (670 square kilometers).
The Dawn mission to the asteroids Vesta and Ceres is managed by NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, a division of the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena, for NASA's Science Mission Directorate, Washington. Dawn is a project of the directorate's Discovery Program, managed by NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Ala. UCLA is responsible for overall Dawn mission science. The Dawn Framing Cameras have been developed and built under the leadership of the Max Planck Institute for Solar System Research, Katlenburg-Lindau, Germany, with significant contributions by DLR German Aerospace Center, Institute of Planetary Research, Berlin, and in coordination with the Institute of Computer and Communication Network Engineering, Braunschweig. The framing camera project is funded by the Max Planck Society, DLR, and NASA/JPL.

Overview of Online Colleges in Nebraska
Nebraska has supported online education across the entire breadth of grade levels, from inclusive educational projects geared towards students in grades K-12 all the way up through postsecondary education. Created by the Nebraska Department of Education, the Network, Education and Technology Services team (NEaT) has been providing elementary, middle and high schools with the latest technology tools to help students learn since 2007. The NEaT Team also trains teachers in the use of technology in the classroom. Four universities in the state of Nebraska joined together to create the Online Worldwide program in 2010, which offers over 100 online degrees, certificates, minors and programs.
Similar to many other states across the U.S., Nebraska has experienced high enrollment rates recently, with public four-year institutions seeing a 10.2% increase within a time period of five years. Students, however, appear to be the ones shouldering the burden of increased education expenses, as tuition for those attending four-year public institutions has increased by 32.6%, while total state appropriations only increased by 7.7%. Despite the rising cost of higher education, first-year retention rates for the state remain at a high 78.2%, with a graduation rate of 56.8%.
To see how these schools stack up, and for more information on tuition, fees, enrollment and their online courses and programs, check out our extensive database and the Nebraska State Facts page.

A NEAP is a neighbourhood equipped area of play and could be found nearby community areas. Older children generally play within NEAPs, however younger kids may also use the area. These types of areas often have play equipment installed, which means it is necessary to have safety flooring put down to ensure children do not get injured.

Leaves, weeds and other dirt can lead to contaminants of one's wetpour exterior; it's therefore advised you ought to remove it promptly so your drain structure won't become obstructed. Normally giving the surface a mild power cleanse could well be a sufficient amount to avoid contaminants. Rubber mulch surfacing might also need a pressure cleanse to get rid of dirt, and you should ought to top-up your rubber mulch shred after waiting a selected duration.
Should your play-area surface or surrounding areas appear to become impaired reactive preservation ought to be done rapidly to reduce higher priced renovations. You can find out more about play area surfaces here https://www.playground-surfaces.com/facility/play-area/ Bubble gum markings and other blemishes are often cared for without difficulty when they are handled as soon as possible. Parts of rubber mulch surfacing can be loose-fitting as time passes and so this is very important to carry out appropriate preservation to stop this from spreading and impairing all the flooring. The grass mat floor tiles can lead to a trip hazard if and when they begin to lift up, for that reason it's essential to regularly be sure that they are simply set up and even carry out any preservation if necessary. If you have smaller tasks which you can perform all by yourself, just like breaks on EPDM rubber, DIY packages are available.

Remember all those fond memories you had of reading Jack Kerouac's On The Road in high school? Or admiring Allen Ginsberg's beard on the book jacket cover of Howl? Or being weirded out by just how many times William S. Burroughs used the phrase "opalescent pearl of cum" in Naked Lunch (Trust me, it's a lot)? Well, Kill Your Darlings, the new film from Sony Pictures Classics directed by John Krokidas, starring Daniel Radcliffe, Dane DeHaan, Jack Huston, Ben Foster, and more, follows all of those writers during their formative years before they became the beacons of the Beat Generation. As is the case with any good coming of age story, there's sex, lies, manipulation, and a murder most foul. Check out the debut trailer below.
Of particular note, Daniel Radcliffe continues to impress as he seeks to shed his Boy Wizard image for edgier, more adult fare, and from what we've seen so far in the trailers for Kill Your Darlings, he's taking to Allen Ginsberg like a Beater to a Bludger. And with a cast including Jack Huston, Dane DeHaan, Michael C. Hall, Elizabeth Olsen, and more, he's in good company. Here's the official synopsis:
KILL YOUR DARLINGS is the previously untold story of murder that brought together a young Allen Ginsberg (Daniel Radcliffe), Jack Kerouac (Jack Huston) and William Burroughs (Ben Foster) at Columbia University in 1944, providing the spark that would lead to their Beat Revolution. This is the true story of friendship and murder that led to the birth of an entire generation.
What do you think of the trailer? Are you excited for the film? Let us know in the comments below!

Back in April of last year, the North Kitsap School Board voted to close a school (or other facility) for the 2013-14 school year due to reduced state funding and declining enrollment. They then appointed a School Closure Committee to perform an in-depth study and provide a recommendation to the Board as to which school or facility should be closed (a final decision to be made in February 2013).
You can find a timeline of School Closure Committee's efforts to date HERE.
For a list of the members of the School Closure Committee, go HERE.
As is typical in such undertakings, there has been a HUGE ground swell of emotions and criticisms associated with this process. It's impossible to please everyone. People have significant personal attachment/investment in their kids schools. And no matter what decision is made, many people will be impacted, inconvenienced, and displaced.
To willingly volunteer to participate in such a thankless endeavor should be commended, regardless of the outcome.
If you know any of the people who have been actively involved in this committee, give them a hug.

UMass Amherst Nanotechnology Center Receives $20 Million Renewal of Federal Grant to Boost Advanced Manufacturing, Economic Growth
AMHERST, Mass. – The University of Massachusetts Amherst has received a five-year, $20 million grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF) to support a national research center on nanomanufacturing. The grant will fund the university's Center for Hierarchical Manufacturing (CHM).
A signature CHM effort is focused on roll-to-roll nanoscale processing of flexible electronics and high technology devices such as solar cells, cell phone displays, batteries and sensors. Roll-to-roll processing is similar to how photographic film moves through a camera from one spindle to another or how newspapers are printed, but with chemical and physical processing in between.
This is the second round of NSF funding for the center. The center works closely with private industry seeking to boost their business and the Massachusetts economy by tapping into the advanced technology generated and refined by the center. When the center was created in 2006, it received a $16 million federal grant and $7 million in state matching funds.
UMass Amherst Chancellor Robert C. Holub, Eric T. Nakajima of the state's executive Office of Housing and Economic Development, and industry executives James M. Casey from FLEXcon of Spencer and Michael D. McCreary of E Ink of Cambridge, attended today's grant announcement at the Conte Polymer Research Center. Through the grant the center will concentrate its efforts on its new Roll-to-Roll (R2R) Process Facility for Nanomanufacturing. Working with Carpe Diem Technologies of Franklin. CHM scientists have developed a custom manufacturing laboratory to scale up and integrate nanoimprint patterning and coating of self-assembling materials onto a high-speed web.
The CHM specializes in the science and engineering of creating nanometer-scale structures—thousands of times smaller than the width of a human hair—as building blocks for manufacturing device components and systems. Initial work at the center has concentrated on how nanoscale structures can be engineered from polymers for applications in precision microelectronics, focusing primarily on silicon-wafer based computer chip technology. With the new grant, the CHM will turn its attention to a large-volume, low-cost, roll-to-roll manufacturing processes currently used in the advanced printing, coating and flexible electronics industries.
CHM director James Watkins, a faculty member in polymer science and engineering, said, "Massachusetts has a rich history in papermaking, printing and coating technologies. We'd like to design tools and processes that are as close as possible to the roll-to-roll platforms that area companies are familiar with. This approach has the potential for terrific synergy with local industry and the possibility of creating advanced manufacturing jobs that are anchored in the region."
Michael F. Malone, vice chancellor for research and engagement, said having an impact on advanced manufacturing is aligned with UMass Amherst's desire to promote innovation and applied research in collaboration with industry. "The new experimental facility we are announcing with the award of this grant will enable companies to explore these emerging nanomanufacturing methods with us and to be part of the innovation process within the growing field of printed electronics."
Watkins is convinced that cost-effective manufacturing of nanotechnology-enabled products and materials is critical for American manufacturing competitiveness in sectors such as energy generation and storage, chemical separations, flexible displays and electronics, and sensors. "Nanotechnology can lead to significant performance enhancements in each of these areas, but keeping costs down is a number one concern for many kinds of products," he said. "By designing new ways to mass-produce high-technology devices cheaply and quickly, we hope to allow innovations that can benefit society to move more rapidly from the laboratory into real products. That's really the value this center provides." Because the objective of roll-to-roll is to get around expensive top-down processing techniques commonly employed in the semiconductor industry, the CHM focuses on the design of devices that make sense for these assembly techniques. Mark Tuominen, a physics faculty member who co-directs the CHM, notes that the process can create structures that actually exhibit new behavior. "Our devices are often designed to exploit the unique character of the materials produced," he said.
The university's top-rated polymer science and engineering program leads the CHM's multi-disciplinary approach to nanotechnology and advanced manufacturing. Other partners on the grant include the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), Rice University, University of Michigan, University of Puerto Rico Rio Piedras, University of Indiana and Mount Holyoke College. The CHM is designated by the NSF as one of the elite Nanoscale Science and Engineering Centers in the U.S. With a roll-to-roll based manufacturing system capable of generating literally billions of individual electronic devices every minute, accuracy and quality are of prime importance. The role of NIST and MIT in the center involves the development of measurement techniques to control manufacturing processes at the nanoscale.
The core technology of the center is based on chemical methods for synthesizing ordered hybrid materials, nanoscale templates and patterns, primarily out of polymers. The polymers are designed to "self-assemble," spontaneously organizing into specified nanoscale structures upon simple coating from solution. Processes like this, which scientists at UMass Amherst including Professor Tom Russell have pioneered since the 1990s, result in "massively parallel" arrays of precisely designed nanostructures. These approaches are now being extended to multi-component, functional hybrid materials and will be combined with nanoimprint lithography (NIL) to build devices on flexible substrates. NIL technology provides a means of printing or embossing nanoscale features on a moving web that can serve as part of the device or be used in a process to pattern the device.

NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - A face-to-face educational technique used among Orthodox Jews apparently led to an outbreak of mumps in 2009 and 2010 even though most of those infected were properly vaccinated, according to a new study.
The outbreak, detailed in the November 1 New England Journal of Medicine, illustrates how close repeated contact with an infected person can overwhelm the mumps vaccine.
"The risk of infection with mumps may be higher when the exposure dose of virus is large or intensely transmitted," the researchers concluded in their report. This may also explain why the mumps vaccine tends to be less effective among household contacts than among school or community contacts, they added.
In all, 3,502 cases were reported over a one year period beginning in June 2009 in New Jersey, New York City and New York State's Orange and Rockland counties. A camp in the Catskill Mountains was the source.
The research team, from the involved state health departments and the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, studied 1,648 of those cases, nearly all of them Orthodox Jews. The researchers found that 89 percent had received the recommended two doses of the mumps vaccine.
Many attended a religious school, known as a yeshiva, where boys receive intense training with a study partner, a chavrusa, who sits across a narrow table. The teaching method often involves animated discussions and the partners are switched several times a day.
The researchers wrote that "chavrusa study, with its prolonged, face-to-face contact," probably resulted in high exposures to the virus, and these "overcame vaccine-induced protection in individual students."
The large families in Orthodox Jewish communities also contributed to the spread, lead author Albert Barskey, of the CDC's National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases, told Reuters Health in a telephone interview.
"As the outbreak went on, we started to see younger and older cases, and females as well. What that suggests is there was spread in the households. From the family, it would jump to a new school," he said.
"The chavrusas played the biggest role. The households played a lesser role."
The most common complication among sick males over 11 was orchitis, an inflammation of the testicles, which can lead to sterility. It affected 120 people, or seven percent of those infected, but was less common among boys and men who had been vaccinated twice.
The source of the outbreak was eventually traced to an 11-year-old boy - who had himself received two vaccine doses but nonetheless picked up the disease in the United Kingdom, where fears about vaccination had led to a large mumps outbreak. That child attended the camp, which had about 400 Orthodox Jewish boys.
"It typically takes 16 to 18 days for an exposed child to develop signs and symptoms, and to be infectious," said Barskey.
The researchers said the fact that mumps did not spread to other communities shows that, in most cases, the system of giving two doses of the vaccine is effective.
And proper vaccination did generally reduce both the severity of disease and transmission to others when exposure was "less intense," they noted.
The previous large mumps outbreak in the United States involved nearly 6,600 cases in six Midwestern states in 2006.

Last November, the Center for Social Media at AU released a Code of Best Practices in Fair Use for Media Literacy Education, which followed on the heels of a Code of Best Practices in Fair Use for Online Video. These guides were aimed at clearing up many of the urban myths surrounding copyright, especially when it came to classroom use of copyrighted materials.
Now, the Media Education Lab at Temple University has produced excellent resources based on the original guide to help teachers teach about copyright and fair use in their classrooms. Resources include lesson plans, Powerpoint slides, videos, case studies, podcasts, and FAQs. The lesson plans iterate on topics from the code such as "Understanding Copyright", "The Cost of Copyright Confusion", and "Defining and Applying Fair Use".
What tickles me: that in order to find out just what you can do with these resources, you get to view and use them first—Learning fair use via fair using! To use these resources in your classroom or study group (or for simply personal edification), check them all out here.
