MultiStitch can double or triple the useful life of the digital capture device you already own!
With the rapid obsolescence of digital devices, many photographers find it hard to afford repeated upgrades to remain competitive. MultiStitch (Patent Pending) is a professional photographic accessory that is intuitive and simple to use, works with Digital Backs and DSLRs, and is now available. MultiStitch lets photographers use their 4x5 cameras to shoot 2-over-2 image patterns for digital stitching, allowing true Large-Format digital capture. To learn more, visit www.multistitch.com.
MultiStitch enables precise 4-way digital stitching, multiplying resolution and effective chip size to almost 4X native capture! (That's 40MP with a 12MP DSLR on a 42x66mm "chip.")
a 36X48mm, 33 MP digital back will produce a 112 MPs from a 66X90mm "chip".
MultiStitch mounts to a 4x5 camera along all four edges and on both faces. Unlike other products, both verticals and horizontals can be shot with full camera movements. When working with a digital back, even the widest lenses can be used. Digital large-format architectural photography is now possible!
Sample images can be viewed at: http://www.multistitch.com/multistit...-architecture/
The built-in MultiVent relieves bellows pressure, protecting against dust to stretch the time between costly cleanings. MultiStitch is available for Medium-Format Digital Backs and Full-Frame DSLRs, and several different mount / camera / chip configurations are available.
"I have been a large-format photographer in NYC for 30 years. I became frustrated by the limitations and small formats of digital workflow, and the expense of constant upgrades. I developed MultiStitch to regain the creative control of working in 4x5," says Myko, of MYKO Photography, Inc. "It's a big bonus that my most expensive gear lasts years longer!"

Big and Little
Eighty-eight constellations cover the sky like the patches of a giant quilt. Some are huge, while others are tiny. The two most extreme constellations are a bit of a surprise, because the largest is a dud while the smallest is a spectacle.
The largest constellation is so obscure that you may never have seen it. Hydra, the water snake, serpentines across the sky just like its namesake. It stretches all the way from the constellation Cancer to the constellation Libra.
Despite its vast size, Hydra has no brilliant stars and only one moderately bright star, Alphard. It's an orange giant that's bright enough to see even from most suburbs. With a good star map, you can find Alphard high in the southwestern sky as night falls. There aren't any other bright stars around it, which enhances the view.
On the other hand, the smallest constellation is brilliant. Crux, better known as the Southern Cross, is so well known that it even appears in songs — "Blue Wide Open" by Sieges Even and "Southern Cross" by Crosby, Stills, and Nash, among others.
The Southern Cross boasts four bright stars. There is a catch, though: as its name suggests, you need to live far to the south to see it. In fact, it's best seen from the southern hemisphere, although it's also visible from Hawaii and much of Mexico.
Hydra and Crux illustrate a paradox of constellations: bigger isn't always better. Instead, small constellations like the Southern Cross can pack a big stellar punch.

From where I sit the 2012 Miles Franklin Literature Award longlist seems right. The names I expected to see are listed, Elliot Perlman, Kate Grenville, Gail Jones, Alex Miller, as are some of the names I hoped to see, Charlotte Wood, Charlotte Wood and Charlotte Wood. There are a few disastrous exclusions, though. The Life by Malcolm Knox, for one. Kylie Ladd's Last Summer, is another. And my unpublished and unreadable historical epic, Untitled.
That said, I find it an attractive list. And an encouraging list. For the most part these literary titles are readable and sold quite well. And when literature sells you know you're living in promising times.
(Pssst… just look at how many of the longlisted authors have answered my Ten Terrifying Questions. Cool.)
Charlotte Wood – Animal People
On a stiflingly hot December day, Stephen has decided it's time to break up with his girlfriend Fiona. He's 39, aimless and unfulfilled, he's without a clue working out how to make his life better. All he has are his instincts – and unfortunately they might just be his downfall . . .
As he makes his way through the pitiless city and the hours of a single day, Stephen must fend off his demanding family, endure another shift of his dead-end job at the zoo (including an excruciating teambuilding event), face up to Fiona's aggressive ex-husband and the hysteria of a children's birthday party that goes terribly wrong. As an ordinary day develops into an existential crisis, Stephen begins to understand – perhaps too late – that love is not a trap, and only he can free himself. Click here to read more…

Melbourne, 1946, calls to him: the pressure cooker of the city during World War II has produced a small creative miracle, and at this pivotal moment the lives of his newly married parents, a group of restless artists, a proud old woman with a tent for a home, a journalist, a gallery owner, a farmer and a factory developer irrevocably intersect.

Thea Farmer, a reclusive and difficult retired school principal, lives in isolation with her dog in the Blue Mountains. Her distinguished career ended under a cloud over a decade earlier, following a scandal involving a much younger male teacher.

Ruth Becker, defiant and cantankerous, is living out her days in the eastern suburbs of Sydney. She has made an uneasy peace with the ghosts of her past – and a part of history that has been all but forgotten.
Another lifetime away, it's 1939 and the world is going to war. Ernst Toller, self-doubting revolutionary and poet, sits in a New York hotel room settling up the account of his life.
When Toller's story arrives on Ruth's doorstep their shared past slips under her defences, and she's right back among them – those friends who predicted the brutality of the Nazis and gave everything they had to stop them.

On a radiant day in Sydney, four adults converge on Circular Quay, site of the iconic Opera House and the Sydney Harbour Bridge. Crowds of tourists mix with the locals, enjoying the glorious surroundings and the play of light on water.
But each of the four carries a complicated history from elsewhere; each is haunted by past intimacies, secrets and guilt: Ellie is preoccupied by her sexual experiences as a girl, James by a tragedy for which he feels responsible, Catherine by the loss of her beloved brother in Dublin and Pei Xing by her imprisonment during China's Cultural Revolution.
Told over the course of a single Saturday, Five Bells describes four lives which chime and resonate, sharing mysterious patterns and symbols. A fifth figure at the Quay, a barely glimpsed child, reminds us that some patterns are imprecise and do not resolve. By night-time, when Sydney is drenched in a rainstorm, each life has been transformed. Click here to read more…

If a man can still ride, if he hasn't totally lost the use of his legs, if he hasn't died to the part of his heart that understands such things, then he should go for a gallop. At the very least he should stand at the road by the river imagining that he's pushing a horse up the steep hill that leads to the house on the farm once known as One Tree.

Chunky Monkey Bananas Foster Bread Pudding with Chocolate Sauce

If you like something…
Click the heart, it's called favoriting. Favorite the stuff you like.Got it!
Author Notes: I've only had bread pudding perhaps 3 or 4 times in my life, and I've never made it before. My first, and probably most authentic, taste of bread pudding was from Durgin Park in Boston. I have fond memories of going to this restaurant as a child, ordering "chicken" and being presented with basically an entire bird. Ordering "steak" got you a t-bone the size of a boogie board. There was sawdust on the floor, the waiters were rude, and it was complete chaos. I loved it. I remember ordering "Indian Pudding" (that's "Native American Pudding" for all you PC folks) and expecting something along the lines of Jell-o pudding snacks, because in my 8-year old mind that was what pudding was. Imagine my surprise when I got a cornmeal-based molasses bread pudding with ice cream. This was not what Bill Cosby sold on TV, but it was frickin' amazing.
Figuring that bead pudding is a basic vehicle for any sweet dessert profile, I decided that I love bananas Foster, and that I also love Chunky Monkey ice cream from Ben and Jerry's. Bananas Foster bread pudding had been done (Emeril, my mortal chef enemy, does a version) so I figured that adding the Chunky Monkey (for the uninitiated, this is banana ice cream with chunks of chocolate and walnuts in it) to the bananas Foster would be a great flavor profile. You can be the judge of that, but we have the dark rum, brown sugar and cinnamon of the Foster, along with the chocolate and walnut of the Chunky Monkey. Serve it with ice cream and chocolate sauce and you've got yourself a humdinger of a dessert.
Having never made a bread pudding before, I decided to wing it with a peasant boule from Fairway, modify my Grandmother's custard recipe, throw in all the ingredients that I know to be in bananas Foster and Chunky Monkey, and have at it. —lechef
Serves: 8-10
For the pudding
cups 1 inch crusty bread cubes, enough to cover the bottom of a 9 x 13 baking pan (day old if you're thinking ahead)
cups whole milk
cup sugar
teaspoon vanilla extract
cup dark rum
cup (8oz) semi-sweet chocolate, chopped
cup chopped walnuts
teaspoons ground cinnamon
cup brown sugar
stick butter
For the Sauce
cup (8oz) semi-sweet chocolate, chopped
cup heavy cream
- Grease the inside of a 9×13 baking dish, and arrange the bread in the bottom. Nestle the bananas in with the bread, and sprinkle the walnuts and chocolate over the top
- Beat the eggs, milk, sugar, vanilla, and rum together. Pour over the top of the bread and bananas. Push down any bread that sticks up to make sure everything is coated. Sprinkle with cinnamon. Allow to stand for 10-15 minutes.
- Meanwhile, melt the butter in a small saucepan and add the brown sugar. Mix until a thick paste is formed, and drizzle the brown sugar mixture over the top of the pudding.
- Heat your oven to 350. Bake for 50 minutes, or until custard is set.
- For the Chocolate Sauce, simply melt the chocolate over low heat in a small saucepan. Whisk in the cream until smooth.
- Spoon out the pudding with a side of vanilla ice cream. Drizzle with chocolate sauce and serve!

Swimmers warned about 'tranquil' oceanBy Jason Schreiber
Union Leader Correspondent
July 26. 2013 7:40PM
HAMPTON — The Atlantic Ocean has been more like a lake this summer, but public safety officials are warning swimmers not to be fooled by the tranquil conditions.
Jim Donahue, lifeguard chief at Hampton Beach who is now in his 54th year on the job, said he can't remember a year with so few water rescues.
The most serious rescue came Thursday night when two 28-year-old swimmers from Derry and Salem became caught in a rip current and had to be pulled to safety.
"This summer has been so calm," Donahue said.
On average, lifeguards at Hampton Beach assist between eight and 10 swimmers a day in the summer months, Donahue said. Those needing help are usually young people on boogie boards who need some assistance due to the surf — not necessarily an all-out rescue.
So far this season, Donahue said lifeguards have averaged only a few assists per week.
"We've had the most benign conditions you could imagine for the month of July," Donahue said.
He attributes the quiet conditions to the lack of any significant storms out at sea that often increase the threat of rough surf and dangerous rip currents that can catch swimmers by surprise.
That was the case Thursday night when William V. Stillings of Derry and David Gioiosa of Salem had to be rescued after being in the water for 30 to 40 minutes.
The two men told officials that they went into the water for a swim but were suddenly swept out by a strong rip current.
Hampton police and fire and rescue personnel were called to the beach around 8 p.m. after receiving a report that the two men were in distress in the waters off of the beach at the end of Haverhill Avenue.
The men were approximately 75 yards offshore when rescuers arrived.
Signs posted along the beach warn swimmers about rip currents and how to swim out of them when they feel themselves being pulled out farther off shore.
The biggest mistake people make is swimming against the current, Donahue said.
Swimmers caught in a current should swim parallel to the shoreline until they reach an area where they no longer feel a pull, Donahue said.
During Thursday's incident, Hampton Deputy Police Chief Richard Sawyer said a 13-year-old boy from Jay, Maine, noticed that the men were in trouble and ran into the water to try to help them.
However, Sawyer said the rip current was too strong for the boy, who eventually turned back and also had to be helped out by others on the beach.
As soon as they arrived, Hampton fire and rescue swimmers Jed Carpentier and Kyle Jameson entered the water from shore. Hampton police officer James Deluca, a trained lifeguard with more than 30 years of experience on Hampton Beach, also joined the rescue effort.
Hampton fire and rescue's Marine 1 unit was sent to the scene with rescue swimmer Nate Denio, who entered the water from the boat.
Off-duty lifeguards from the state park responded as well.
Stillings and Gioiosa were pulled to safety aboard the rescue boat and transported to the public safety dock in Hampton Harbor.
They were treated at the scene, but were not injured.
"It was a team effort and that's an ongoing thing we work on with a level of cooperation between police, fire and rescue and the lifeguards," Sawyer said.
Sawyer urged swimmers to use extra caution when lifeguards are not on duty.
According to Donahue, lifeguards are posted between 9 a.m. and 5:30 p.m. during the summer months. Depending on conditions, there are times when they may be on until dark, he said.
Lifeguard coverage wraps up after Labor Day, but lifeguards are brought back during the weekend of the annual Seafood Festival, which will be held this year from Sept. 6 to 8.

BOSTON — This is what it's come to with the Boston Bruins.
Even when their 10-game overall winning streak and 14-game run of home dominance ends in a 4-2 loss to the Buffalo Sabres, they don't go down in flames — they go down fighting
It's a tribute to the current band of Black and Gold-wearing skaters that their 'B' or even 'C' game can keep them within striking distance and a bounce here or there of grabbing a point in the standings (if not two).
Even after losing today at TD Banknorth Garden, the Bruins are 11-3-2 when they allow the first goal (.688 winning percentage). Without an even-strength point from their second or third line, the Bruins still mustered enough offense (including a goal by tough guy Shawn Thornton) to climb back from two goals to one goal down twice. And it took a career offensive night from Buffalo fourth-line center Matt Ellis (two goals, one assist) and a couple fortunate bounces in front of Bruins goaltender Tim Thomas to lift the Sabres over the Eastern Conference leaders.
In past years — including many of their defeats last season — when the Bruins lost, they were thoroughly outplayed. Cries for more girt, more determination and harder working ruminated throughout the locker room. Now, on the rare occassion they drop a game, the Bruins point to a missed empty net here, a puck that missed a stick by an inch there. It's a sign of their maturation into one of the NHL's elite that there's a consistency level to their effort that never wavers enough to cost them a chance at winning.
Today Marc Savard was a major culprit in the failed-opportunity department.
"They came out having a good start against us. It seemed like the last time they were here they did the same thing. They sat back in the third, which gave us opportunities, but we lost the game in the first and second," mused Savard, who still registered an assist in the defeat. "We had some empty nets, I had two empty nets and I didn't put them in. … We could've easily won this game if we had buried our chances."
P.J. Axelsson also slapped one off the side of the net with Buffalo goaltender Ryan Miller out of position, and a number of passes to players in scoring positions took bad hops or were just a second too late or too early. But that's a lot better those chances not existing or an opponent storming into the Garden and burying the Bruins before the first period-ending horn sounds, as was the case too many times between the lockout and the start of this season.
If the Bruins were getting a little bit of swelled-head disease because of all their winning, it'll surely pass now. At least it will if defenseman Shane Hnidy has anything to say about it.
"We've got to regroup here, let this sink in and realize we can't take time off in games. Guys are gunning for us and that's what happens when you're a successful team," Hnidy said.
Let those words sit there for a minute or two — "a successful team." Win or lose, that's what the Bruins are right now.

Tomas Berdych has knocked Roger Federer out of the US Open with a stunning four-set victory
U.S. OPEN - Quarter-Final
T. BERDYCH/R. Federer
7-6(1), 6-4, 3-6, 6-3
Wednesday, September 5, 2012
THE MODERATOR: Questions, please.
Q. You must be absolutely delighted with that performance of sheer intensity and power and also mental strength?
TOMAS BERDYCH: Yeah, I mean, probably there was everything just right today, so that's get up the results or the result what was happening on court. Yeah, probably there was not a ‑‑ well, not a bad spot. Of course that I lost the third set. But, you know, I cannot count on I'm going to be beating Roger in straight sets and not to get in any trouble. So, you know, I was always, you know, careful that anything could happen. Actually, it happened in the third set that, you know, he came strongly back. But for that, you know, I'm even more happy with the way that I was able to, you know, hold his pressure and then, you know, add something extra for the fourth set.
Q. You always play well against Federer, or almost always against him. Do you think you match up particularly well with him considering what he is or, I mean, the champion he is?
TOMAS BERDYCH: Well, I mean, it's tough to say, you know. It's still 11 or something for him. So, you know, I know, but it's probably the way that, with my game, I'm able to make him some trouble, you know. That even if he's playing well and then we play a match together, then, you know, probably ‑‑ or probably ‑‑ there is something in my game that he doesn't like and it makes him a bit struggle, I would say, and maybe bring him out of his comfort zone that he always like to be on court. He always like to have a time and he always like to have ‑‑ you know, be the one who is dictating the game. If there is someone different, then someone else who can be in his position, then that's the way I'm, you know, you know, successful in couple of matches with him.
Q. How can your game give Andy Murray similarly any trouble?
TOMAS BERDYCH: Well, I mean, there is probably not ‑‑ there is probably no secret that I can bring something up, you know, that I will do something differently for my next match. It's gonna be the way that, you know, I have a few days off to get ready, to get rest, to prepare again, and, you know, try to keep my game on the same level. As I said in the beginning, if my game is well and I'm able to play my game, then I have a quite dangerous game to beat anyone.
Q. In the fourth set when he's coming back stronger and the crowd is really behind him, they are cheering on your first serve and when you miss, what's going through your mind? Do you keep all of this away, or do you feel the pressure on the court?
TOMAS BERDYCH: Well, I just felt it in the end of the third set, you know, where he took the break back. Then he made another one, you know, and he was really pushing, you know. And then, yeah, the set was over. He still needs two more; I need only one. I was still in the better position. That was the way that I was actually mentally ready for that, that I'm still in bigger advantage. I just need to stay as close as possible with him. Either if the crowd is gonna be on his side he's gonna be play well, but whatever is happen, I was just trying to stay close and, yeah, I got a chance. I made it, and then finish it with my serve.
Q. You looked very confident out there. Where is this coming from? What's your motivation out there tonight?
TOMAS BERDYCH: What do you think is the other the kind of motivation I can have? You know, I play against Roger, one of the greatest players in the world. I play my first night session match. I mean, theres thousands of reasons of the motivation, you know. That's it, you know. I mean, that's for me the biggest challenge I can have, and, you know, that's how it is.
Q. How much did it hurt when you actually fell over in the fourth set? Almost a blow to your pride to lose your footing? You got up and you got your mind right back into it straight after that.
TOMAS BERDYCH: Well, as long as my hands ‑‑ actually you cannot see. It looks like this. I don't have the blisters, but quite hard hand. I was able to, you know, I just scratched a little bit of my hard skin on the hand. Then I was quite able to hold the racquet. Because actually this one could be quite dangerous, because if you make something on your hands then and you cannot hold the racquet. That could be worse than any other injury. So finally I was lucky and, you know, to hold it up and then, you know, to hold my racquet quite well, have a feeling still in that. You know, I just, yeah, throw it away. Yeah, it happens. But, I mean, it was just one of the incredible shots that Roger make. So, yeah, it was a good shot from him.
Q. How do you consider your year so far? Before tonight, were you satisfied with the year you had, or now this win makes a sort of big change, in a way, because your first semifinal of the US Open, you beat Federer, and so on?
TOMAS BERDYCH: Well, if the year would be good or great or I don't know how to say that, then you add in the result like that, then you get a bonus or you get another great result. (Smiling.) I don't know comparing to, let's say, Madrid final or ‑‑ I don't know the other results. It's tough to say, you know. It's another one. It's my semifinal here, which is the first one, and extremely happy for that beating Roger. That doesn't happen every day. So, yeah, this makes the season much, much better, yeah.
Q. Has this been a different meaning than the one you had in Wimbledon few years ago when you beat Roger in Wimbledon? Is this feeling different now compared to this year? Are you a different player now?
TOMAS BERDYCH: Well, I think I'm a different player than the years before. I would say I'm more experienced than that time. Well, yeah, actually the situation in Wimbledon was quite similar, especially with the end of the match, you know, where actually I was 5‑up going for the serve. The time actually on the changeover was, you know, at that time quite hard for me because it was the first time to beating him on the Grand Slam and that time in Wimbledon. But this is the experience what I already learn from it. This time I made it much better and finish it in the way I did and serving just great. Yeah, it's a bit different. It's another match, another tournament. So, yeah, it comes.
Q. There was a moment when he hit a volley and it just dropped in. Then you turned your racquet around and it looked like you were playing it like a guitar. Were you as relaxed as you looked at that moment?
TOMAS BERDYCH: Yeah. You cannot be anything else, you know. When you play really great shots, really great rally, and then he come up with a shot like that, then, you know, I just give him my credit for that. And it was not only this point. I mean, he did many others like this. But, yeah, that's Roger. You know, with him it's not luck. He really knows, you know, how to hit those shots and actually how to read the situation to make the shot happen. Yeah, just, you know, I have to laugh. There is nothing else to do.
Q. You have a good record against Andy, but is he a different player because of what's happened this year in terms of the gold medal and the way he played in the final for the first time rather than not winning a set? Is he a different proposition for you now?
TOMAS BERDYCH: We'll see after the match if he's going to be something different or not.
Q. Does he appear to be different having Ivan? He doesn't seem to blow up so much.
TOMAS BERDYCH: Well probably he reach the results you said, won the gold medal and has been in the final of Wimbledon, so probably it helps to him a lot. But as I said, you know, probably similar to matches with Roger. You know, even if he's playing well and then, you know, I come up with my game, which probably him doesn't like maybe too much like the other guys, so then, you know, I bring something different and that could be my chance.
Q. One of the other big upsets this year was Lukas Rosol beating Nadal at Wimbledon. Do you think there is something in the Czech mentality that sort of makes you guys less afraid of big wins than other countries?
TOMAS BERDYCH: Well, I just hope you're not comparing me with Lukas Rosol. Do you? (Laughter.)
Q. No, I'm not saying that. I'm just saying...
TOMAS BERDYCH: You did. You just said that there was a big upset and Rosol will beat Nadal and then you mentioned my match here.
Q. Okay.
TOMAS BERDYCH: Okay, good. So first of all, I don't think that we are in the same position, that it's actually that big upset. But all right, you said that. Well, I don't know what else to say. I mean, is it something wrong that we are from Czech and beating big guys? No? Good. Okay,
Q. It's a good thing.
TOMAS BERDYCH: It's a good thing, yeah. So, yeah, we will try to do it for next time again.
Q. Is there anything that you have done to turn your form around after disappointing results at Wimbledon and the Olympics?
TOMAS BERDYCH: Well, yeah, actually I did. You know, I took a break after Wimbledon, which, you know, because after the first, I would say, half of the season, which was quite hard for me and I felt quite tired, then, you know, I made it like as a decision. Then, you know, always everybody comes, you know, to say that when you're not playing extremely well in the first tournament after that that it was a mistake and why he did that, and, you know, all these things like this way. But, you know, I still knew that there was my decision, and that's for my tennis. You know, I did a good preparation for it and actually that's the results, so, you know, I did it. I'm happy that I made it, yeah.
Q. What's it going to be like not only Andy Murray you're playing against but one of the Czech greats, Ivan Lendl, he will be helping Murray? What will that be like for you?
TOMAS BERDYCH: Well, I already had that experience from Monte‑Carlo, and since then we didn't play each other. So so far when Ivan is with Andy I think we have it 1‑all. Well, it would be nice to maybe, you know, to get to the lead. But, you know, I think he's gonna try to do the same. It's gonna be a nice match.

Left-wing anti-Semitism
Although many leftists try to deny it, "modern, political anti-Semitism is a creature of the left as well as the right," admits Warwick University Sociology Professor Robert Fine, a member of the Conference of Socialist Economists.[1] "[A]nti-Semitism that we might call populist or democratic.... is linked equally to the left and right," agrees George L. Mosse, professor of history at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, "to the new nationalism, but also to certain tendencies in socialism."[2] Omer Bartov of Brown University comments:
|[O]ne of the most frightening aspects of Hitler's book is not that he said what he said at the time, but that much of what he said can be found today in innumerable places ... As long as it does not have Hitler's name attached to it, this deranged discourse will be ignored or allowed to pass. The voices that express these opinions do not belong to a single political or ideological current ... They belong to the right and the left, to the religious and the secular, to the West and the East, to the rabble and the leaders, to terrorists and intellectuals, students and peasants, pacifists and militants, expansionists and anti-globalization activists.[3]
Twenty-five years ago in the heart of the Cold War debate, anti-Americanism, anti-Israeli sentiment, and anti-Semitism "were fringe phenomena while now they are more fashionable and mainstream ... [T]hese sentiments are no longer the monopoly of any particular part of the political spectrum. They are there on the European Left, Right, and in the center," agrees Jeffrey Gedman, president of London's Legatum Institute.[4]
Origins of left-wing anti-Semitism
There were "strong anti-Semitic currents on the European left in Marx's time," writes Fine; "[T]here is a strong tradition of anti-Semitism on the Left."[5] One "need not venture far into the pre-1930 literature of anti-economics before encountering conspicuous anti-Semitic effusions," observes William Coleman of the Australian National University. "One may say that, before about 1930, anti-economics and anti-Semitism existed in striking conjunction." He adds that "the conjunction was not accidental... [A]nti-economics and modern anti-Semitism shared some leading ideological contentions."[6]
From the outset, according to French historian Marc Crapez, European racism and socialism were closely affiliated.[7] In addition, "anti-capitalism and anti-Semitism were deeply intertwined," writes Mosse. "[I]n fact, they had been connected since the middle-ages."[8] "For centuries, Jewish economic success led anti-Semites to condemn capitalism as a form of Jewish domination and exploitation," writes Columbia University history professor Jerry Z. Muller, "or to attribute Jewish success to unsavory qualities of the Jews themselves."[9]
"The Marxist, postmodern and post-Zionist pseudo-liberal views on democracy lead back to the totalitarian democracy of the French Enlightenment, in which anti-Semitism formed an essential ingredient," writes Shlomo Sharan of Tel Aviv University.[10] At that time, "the Jews symbolised the distressing symptoms of modernity ushered in by capitalism and political liberalism," writes Christian Wiese, professor of Jewish history at the University of Sussex.[11]
|Dissatisfaction with the practical consequences of Liberalism was even stronger in economic than in political matters; anti-capitalism was, after all, one of the oldest and most natural forms of anti-Semitism. Liberal society was characterized by a high degree of social mobility with a premium on individual worth and ability. Perhaps this pill was the hardest to swallow. All those who had an assured place in an ordered hierarchy, even if it was a comparatively low one, looked with distaste on an order which allowed others to rise to positions of eminence and influence ... anti-Semitism is anti-capitalist since capitalism is one of the causes of social mobility.[12]
"[T]he sudden prominence of a few Jews who benefited from economic liberalisation provoked a backlash from the Left."[13] In France, writes Göttingen historian Karlheinz Weissmann, many on the left saw the Jews "as the embodiment of capitalism."[14]
Some of the most prominent thinkers of the Enlightenment were virulent anti-Semites: Voltaire denounced the Jews as "the greatest scoundrels who have ever sullied the face of the globe".[15] The Jews, he wrote, "deserve to be punished," for it is their "destiny."[16] "The Jewish nation dares to display an irreconcilable hatred toward all nations, and revolts against all masters," wrote Voltaire, "always superstitious, always greedy for the well-being enjoyed by others, always barbarous—cringing in misfortune and insolent in prosperity."[17] Immanuel Kant expressed similar views: "'The Jews still cannot claim any true genius, any truly great man. All their talents and skills revolve around stratagems and low cunning ... They are a nation of swindlers."[18]
Early Socialist Anti-Semitism
"It was in those days that the complaint arose that Jews were 'unproductive middle men,' 'economic parasites,'" wrote Edward H. Flannery, a professor at the Institute of Judeo-Christian Studies at Seton Hall University.[19] "It was shaped for the most part by socialist writers and became a favorite theme with later racist antisemites of a socialist stripe."[20] "Certain anti-economists affiliated with the socialist movement held Jews to be potentates of an oppressive contemporary social order."[21] Among the French Left, observes Weissmann, were "numerous individuals and groups who considered class struggle and race struggle as one and the same thing—especially with reference to the Jews...."[22]
"Socialist anti-Semitism is indeed almost as old as modern Socialism," writes historian Edmund Silberner of the Hebrew University of Jerusalem.[23] Early socialism was inseparable from anti-Semitism, portraying Jews as exploiters, leeches and parasites.[24] "[V]irtually every major figure in the early history of socialism — including Friedrich Engels, Charles Fourier, Ferdinand Lassalle, Marx, and Joseph Proudhon — showed a marked antipathy to Jews," observes Daniel Pipes.[25] In his comprehensive survey of French socialist literature from 1820 to 1920, historian Zosa Szajkowski found not a single word on behalf of Jews.[26]
Pierre Leroux (1797-1871), who coined the word "socialism", "identified the Jews with the despised capitalism, and regarded them as the incarnation of mammon, who lived by exploiting others."[27] He condemned what he called "the Jewish spirit, the spirit of profit, of lucre, of gain, the spirit of commerce, of speculation, in a word, the banker spirit."[28] "The true successor of Napoleon," wrote Leroux, "is the Jew."[29]
"[T]hrough almost all countries of Europe there is spreading a powerful, hostile state, which is perpetually at war with all other States, and which in some of them oppresses the citizens with the utmost severity: it is Jewry."[30] wrote the early socialist Johann Gottlieb Fichte (1762-1814). "I see no other means of protecting ourselves against them, than by conquering their Promised Land and sending them all there."[31] Elsewhere, he suggested a more radical solution, in which Gentiles "chop off all their [Jews'] heads and replace them with new ones, in which there would not be a single Jewish idea."[32] In Fichte's text "we see the beginnings of the 'anticapitalist' impulse in modern antisemitism, which became central to revolutionist agendas for the redemption of humanity through the regeneration of Jewry," observes Guggenheim Fellow Anthony J. LaVopa.[33] Duquesne University professor Tom Rockmore comments that "available evidence points strongly to an early and perhaps enduring Marxian interest in Fichte's position."[34]
Early socialist Charles Fourier (1768-1830) called Jews "parasites, merchants, and usurers;"[35] Fourier's disciple, Alphonse Toussenel, called Jews "the kings of the epoch," writing that "Europe is entailed to the domination of Israel. This universal domination, of which so many conquerors have dreamed, the Jews have in their hands."[36] "[I]ndustrial feudalism"—as Toussenel called capitalism—"is personified in the cosmopolitan Jew."[37]
Marx's mentor Bruno Bauer published antisemitic articles by Marx's intellectual rival in the German Social Democratic Party, Eugen Dühring, "descibing Jews as idle usurers exploiting productive labor."[38]
Pierre-Joseph Proudhon (1809-1865), one of the leading socialist theorists of his day (and a correspondent of Marx), called Jews "the race which poisons everything" and "the enemy of the human race";[39] "The Jew is by temperament an anti-producer, neither a farmer nor an industrialist nor even a true merchant," wrote Prodhon. "He is an intermediary, always fraudulent and parasitic, who operates, in trade as in philosophy, by means of falsification, counterfeiting, and horse-trading."[40] He wrote, "This race must be sent back to Asia, or exterminated."[41] "By fire or fusion, or by expulsion the Jew must disappear."[42]
Mikhail Bakunin, Marx's intellectual rival in the First International, called Jews "an exploiting sect, a bloodsucking people, a unique devouring parasite,"[43] Jews, he wrote, are disqualified from socialist leadership by "that mercantile passion which constitutes one of the principle traits of their national character."[44]
Henry Hyndman, founder of Britain's atheistic, Marxist Social Democratic Federation (Britain's first socialist party) and National Socialist Party (now part of the Labour Party), "repeatedly invoked the stereotype of the 'rich capitalist Jew' in his anti-semitic remarks."[45] "Jew moneylenders," complained Hyndman's Justice, Organ of the Social Democracy (the first Marxist periodical in England),[46] "now control nearly every Foreign Office in Europe."[47] He blamed the Boer war on "Jew financial cliques" and the "Jew-jingo press."[48]
Theodore Dreiser, an atheist[49] as well as a Communist,"[50] was also a virulent anti-Semite and admirer of Hitler.[51] New York is a "kike's dream of a ghetto," he wrote; Jews are not "pure Americans" and "lack integrity."[52]
L'Affaire Dryfus/"J'Accuse"
When the bourgeois[53] Victor Hugo, a cultural Catholic,[54] defended Alfred Dreyfus, a Jewish officer scapegoated by the French army, the French socialist press published a manifesto denouncing Hugo's crusade on the grounds that Jewish capitalists would use the rehabilitation of a single Jew to wash out "all the sins of Israel."[55]
Perhaps more important than the widespread anti-Semitism among socialist leaders was the anti-semitism of socialist groups such as the Socialist International and the Fabian Society.
Second International
After reference to the exploitation of workers by Jewish capitalists and denunciation of "philo-Semitic agitation," the Second International (the original Socialist International) adopted a resolution condemning not just antisemitic, but "philo-Semite outbursts as one of the means by which the capitalist class and the reactionary circles seek to divert the Socialist movement from its purpose and divide the workers."[56]
Fabian Society
Britain's Fabian Society (which "set up the banner of socialism militant")[57] hosted a number of anti-Semites, including Beatrice Webb, George Bernard Shaw, H.G. Wells, J.A. Hobson, and Oswald Mosley.
Beatrice Webb, who played a crucial role in the founding of the Fabian Society, wrote that "the strongest impelling motive of the Jewish race" was "the love of profit as distinct from other forms of money-earning." (Italics in original.)[58] H.G. Wells wrote, "A careful study of anti-Semitism, prejudice and accusations might be of great value to many Jews," he wrote, "who do not adequately realize the irritation they inflict."[59] George Bernard Shaw once exhorted Jews to "stop being Jews and start being human beings."[60]
J.A. Hobson blamed London poverty on "the foreign Jew," whom he described as "a terrible competitor. He is ... almost void of social morality. No compunction or consideration for his fellow-worker will keep him from underselling and overreaching them; he acquires a thorough mastery of all the dishonourable tricks of trade which are difficult to restrain by law; the superior calculating intellect, which is a national heritage, is used unsparingly to enable him to take advantage of every weakness, folly, and vice of the society in which he lives."[61] "He craves the position of a sweating-master, the lowest step in a ladder that may lead to a life of magnificence, supported out of usury."[62] In his 1898 book Imperialism: A Study -- which would profoundly influence Lenin's Imperialism, the Higherst Stage of Capialism (1917) -- Hobson blamed the Boer War on "Jew power."[63] That war, he wrote, was fought for the benefit of "a small group of international financiers, chiefly German in origin and Jewish in race."[64]
One Fabian socialist from the 1920s and '30s, Oswald Mosley,[65] went on to found and lead the British Union of Fascists (which "at first was modeled after Mussolini's example but later became patterned after Hitler"),[66] in which role he was lauded by Shaw.[67]
Anti-capitalist anti-semitism in Germany
During the 19th century, the center of left-wing anti-Semitism gradually shifted from Paris to Vienna, where the "radical-democratic and nationalist left wing" was headed by German Liberal Party leader Georg von Schönerer,[68] one of a group of "left-wing German liberals" who demanded "the exclusion of Jews from the new movement and as far as possible from public life";[69] Hitler would later ascribe to Schönerer "the wisdom of a prophet."[70] Wilhelm Marr, who coined the term "antisemitism," wrote that "anti-Semitism is a Socialist movement, only in nobler and purer forms than Social Democracy."[71] In late 19th century Germany, a popular critical view held that capitalism was a product of Jewish culture.[72] Adolf Stöcker, leader of the left-wing Christian Social Party, wrote, "I see in unrestrained capitalism the evil of our epoch and am naturally also an opponent of modern Judaism on account of my socio-political views."[73] Meanwhile, anti-capitalist leader Adam Müller said, "The Jewish messiah, the Antichrist, has come to earth in the guise of the steam engine, and this in order to speed up the end of the world."[74] "The doctrine of egalitarian free economics and of corresponding human rights in economics, as they were formulated in a humanely well-meaning way by the Scotsmen Hume and Smith, were used by the Jews in order to derive from them their monopoly," according to the anti-semitic Die Judenfrage.[75] According to Tyler Cowen, professor of economics at George Mason University:
|German writers picked up on earlier anti-Enlightenment theories of a Judeo-Masonic conspiracy to rule the world. During the French Revolution, the Jews, along with the Masons, were identified as forces for liberalism, secularism, and capitalism. German writers quickly found the Jews to be a more popular target than the Masons, perhaps because they were more visible or more different. The originally Judeo-Masonic theories eventually discarded the other conspirators, such as the Templars and the Illuminati, and focused on the Jews.[76]
20th century: Stalinist anti-Semitism
According to Henry L. Feingold, director of the Jewish Resource Center at Baruch College, "socialism contained the seeds to become the anti-Semitism of the intellectuals of the Left."[77] In the 20th century, those seeds took root and grew into a forest bearing poisonous fruit. For example, in the former Soviet Union, even after the death of the anti-Semite Stalin,[78] Soviet anti-Semitism persisted:
|Since World War II Jews and Judaism have been liberated in every country and territory where capitalism has been restored to vigorous growth—and this includes Germany. By contrast, wherever anticapitalism or precapitalism has prevailed the status of Jews and Judaism has either undergone deterioration or is highly precarious. Thus at this very moment the country where developing global capitalism is most advanced, the United States, accords Jews and Judaism a freedom that is known nowhere else in the world and that was never known in the past. It is a freedom that is not matched even in Israel ... By contrast, in the Soviet Union, the citadel of anticapitalism, the Jews are cowed by anti-Semitism, threatened by extinction, and barred from access to their God.[79]
Likewise, according to Nazi hunter Simon Wiesenthal, during the Six Day War on Israel in 1967, the East German Communist regime employed former Nazi propagandists to write anti-Israeli propaganda, with the substitution of a few words such as "Israeli" for "Jew" and "progressive forces" for "National Socialism."[80] Also in Germany, the Tupamoros-West Berlin, a Communist group headed by Dieter Kunzelmann (who would later become a leader of the Green Party),[81] attempted to bomb Berlin's Jewish Community Center during a commemoration of the anniversary of Kristallnacht in 1969.[82] Meanwhile, Berlin's Red Army Faction (RAF), another Communist group, was led by Ulrike Meinhof, who stated, "Auschwitz means that six million Jews were murdered and carted on to the rubbish dumps of Europe for being that which was maintained of them—Money-Jews."[83] Another founder of this Communist group, Horst Mahler, an anti-Semite and Holocaust denier[84] was sentenced to six years in prison for incitement to racial hatred in 2005.[85] Despite being categorized as "right-wing" in the media, this Communist revolutionary insisted in a 2007 interview that his beliefs had not changed ("[http://shoabloger.wordpress.com/texts/michael-friedman-interviews-horst-mahler-full-text/ The enemy is the same")[86] since his days as an informant for the Stasi,[87] the secret police of Communist East Germany. (After the fall of East German Communism in 1990, it was revealed that the Stasi had been supplying the RAF with funds and logistic support, including false identities and network of safehouses in West Belin.)[88] The Revolutionary Cells (Revolutionäre Zellen), yet another German Communist group, joined with the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (a hard-line Marxist[89] terrorist group) to hijack an Air France flight to Entebbe, Uganda, where they singled out the Jewish passengers in a plot to murder them.[90]
Historian Susan Urban of the Jersusalem Center for Public Affairs writes, "Germany has seen a growth of leftist anti-Semitism along with anti-imperialist, antiglobalization, and anti-Zionist attitudes."[91] "Outside of the Western communist parties, which were mostly oriented solidly towards Moscow's anti-Zionism, a fully articulated anti-Zionism appeared only in the early 1970s with the formation of the so-called New Left, which interpreted the Middle-East conflict in terms of its anti-imperialist and anti-colonialist rhetoric," reports the European Monitoring Centre on Racism and Xenophobia. "As many authors have shown since, the anti-Zionism of the 1970s was largely not just ideological criticism of Israel, but a form of secondary anti-Semitism. The rhetoric of these organizations, whose remnants survive into the present day, often indicates the antisemitic nature of their criticism."
In 1985, the Palestine Liberation Front, then a Communist group, which had hijacked an Italian cruise ship, the MS Achille Lauro, murdered 69-year-old passenger Leon Klinghoffer, an American, shooting him to death and rolling his wheelchair off the deck, dumping his body into the ocean. The PLF singled out Klinghoffer for murder because he was Jewish. Finally, the Sandinistas, a Marxist-Leninist group that seized control of the government of Nicaragua in 1979, supported a newspaper that proclaimed that "the world's money, banking and finance are in the hands of descendants of Jews ... [C]ontrolling economic power, they control political power as now happens in the United States."[92]
|In 1979 many of the country's approximately 250 Jews fled abroad in the face of persecution and imprisonment by the Sandinista National Liberation Front (FSLN). The FSLN bombed and partially destroyed the country's only synagogue, then confiscated the property shortly afterward and converted it into a youth training camp.[93]
21st-century anti-Semitism: the union of leftism and Islamism
In the 21st century these seeds have festered into full flower, with the embrace of Islamist anti-Semitism by the Left:
|Although traditional Trotskyite ideology is in no way close to radical Islamic teachings and the shariah, since the radical Islamists also subscribed to anticapitalism, antiglobalism, and anti-Americanism, there seemed to be sufficient common ground for an alliance. Thus, the militants of the far left began to march side by side with the radical Islamists in demonstrations, denouncing American aggression and Israeli crimes. In Britain a new political party named Respect was established, uniting Trotskyites, Stalinists, Muslim Brotherhood militants, and similar groups.[94]
For example, the European Union's European Monitoring Centre on Racism and Xenophobia decided not to publish its comprehensive study of the causes of anti-Semitism in Europe in 2003, a source familiar with the report told London's Financial Times, after the report uncovered "a trend towards Muslim anti-Semitism," and that "on the left there is also mobilization against Israel that is not always free of prejudice."[95] That year, one academic, Michael Neumann, Professor of Philosophy at Canada's Trent University, wrote that he wants to
|help the Palestinians.... I am not interested in the truth, or justice, or understanding, or anything else, except so far as it serves that purpose. If an effective strategy means that some truths about the Jews don't come to light, I don't care. If an effective strategy means encouraging reasonable anti-Semitism, or reasonable hostility to Jews, I also don't care. If it means encouraging vicious racist anti-Semitism, or the destruction of the State of Israel, I still don't care.[96]
According to the progressive magazine Tikkun, "A.N.S.W.E.R. refuses to acknowledge or support the right of the Jewish people to national self-determination—though it supports that right for every other group with a history of oppression. When Jews are denied the rights of others, it is a tell-tale sign of anti-Semitism."[97]
|[L]eftists who despise their own capitalist societies inevitably come to sympathize with militants—communists, Tier-mondistes, Islamists, it doesn't make any difference—who attack those societies from without. Right now, the only corner of the world putting up any sort of serious ideological fight against Western-style capitalism and liberalism is the Muslim Middle East. So, just as the left uncritically swallowed Stalin's propaganda in the 1930s, expect the left to increasingly swallow Arabist propaganda in our own era. And since one of the key elements of Arabist propaganda is a hatred of Israel and a suspicion of Jews, these building blocks of anti-Semitism will become more and more a part of mainstream leftist discourse.[98]
Thus in 2009, the "progressive" webzine Counterpunch.org, edited by Alexander Cockburn, son of Soviet agent[99] Claud Cockburn, could publish a revival of the "Blood Libel," alleging that Israeli Jews were killing Palestinian Muslims to harvest their organs.[100] A 2012 survey of 5,847 Jews in the European Union found that more than three out of four said anti-Semitism had increased over the preceding five years, and more respondents blamed perpetrators of the most serious incidents on the political left than the right, according to the EU's Fundamental Rights Agency.[101]
"[T]he left's anti-Semitism—which, of course, it never acknowledges and fervently denies—rather than the right's conventional version of this hatred comprises the key ingredient of anti-Semitism's current European existence."[102] Antisemitism may be found within much contemporary "antihegemonic, radical, liberal and socialist" discourse, admits David Hirsh of the University of London, who concedes that "antisemitism is a live and virulent threat."[103] "[T]he locus of anti-Semitism has moved from the right side of the political spectrum to the left ... These days, the hatemongers targeting Jews' right to live peacefully spout the mantras of 'social justice' and 'peace studies,' not racial purity."[104]
|The resurgence of anti-Semitism in Europe "hails much more from the left than the right. The latter—mainly because of the continued illegitimacy and unacceptability of Nazism and fascism in European public opinion—has had a much more circumspect influence on how Jews and Israel are depicted than the left has had. Because classical anti-Semitism—certainly in its praxis—was mostly associated with the European right, the left enjoyed a certain bonus when it came to discussing all matters relating to Jews and Israel. The left could take liberties with being anti-Israeli and anti-Semitic that the right could never have. This legitimacy bonus enabled the left to employ anti-Israeli discourse that—in the meantime—has become completely common and acceptable parlance in Europe. Because of this general acceptability and overall legitimacy, left-wing anti-Semitism is much more relevant and disturbing than right-wing anti-Semitism.[105]
As Urban concludes: "The extreme leftist trend in Germany contains elements that envision a world cleansed of the Jewish state."

Switched all of the dogs over to 4health dog food since we were feeding a mix of grocery store brand and raw. They are all doing great and Boss is FINALLY putting some weight on and doesn't look scrawny, he is even muscling out nicely
Dog food advisor gives it a 4 star review. If you live near a Tractor Supply Company it is easy to get and on sale 25$ for a 35# bag. However if you do not live near a TSC I don't think it can be ordered online. I like to use Mr. Chewey.com so I emailed the service department about getting this food in, they emailed me a personal response within the hour and will be working to carry the food within the next few months hopefully.
New food review (4Health)
Talk about diets, exercise, and disease.

I feel like I could talk about organizing closets all day long. There are so many different types of closets and all of them are different shapes and sizes! We live in a small, older home so I've had to get creative about how organize my closets. With narrow, deep spaces, it's not always easy.
The closet I'm the most excited about, in our house, is my daughter's closet. Kids' closets can be the hardest to organized because not only do you have clothes, you also have school papers, toys, etc. I recently received this incredible custom closet from EasyClosets which gives me all the storage I needed to organize all of her stuff!
On the top shelves I have IKEA boxes that store her baby keepsakes, calendars, school work, etc. They were really inexpensive and they look great!
On the shelves below I have a few pictures, her puzzles, books, toys, and of course, her clothes. One of my favorite things about this closet is that her clothes are hung low enough for her to reach them. This helps me be able to teach her how to hang up her own clothes and stay organized.
We also have a vallet pole so that we can hang out her clothes for the next day.
And of course my favorite thing is all the storage for her toys! Every toy has a place which makes it easy for clean up and it teaches her how be organized. (Full post coming Wednesday!)
Here is how I organized my linen closet. The shelves are very deep so I used baskets to store smaller items, that way if I need to access items in the back I can easily pull the basket in front, out of the way. (See the full post here.)
Our master bedroom closets are also fairly small, and being a girl, there is never enough storage in a small closet. On the {one} shelf in my closet I also used baskets for storage. Placing items in baskets has allowed me to store so much stuff, on my one tiny shelf! (See the full post here.)
My favorite closet organization trick is the one that made me think outside the box. I personally, have a lot of jeans and sweaters, and those take up a lot of space in our dresser drawers! So I purchased this shoe organizer and came up with a creative solution to store them vertically, giving me tons of extra drawer space! (See the full post here.)
My biggest advise for how to start the process of organizing a closet is to take everything out of the space first. Then clean closet, wipe down shelves, vacuum it, etc. Next throw out (or donate) anything you don't use/wear anymore. Once you've done all that, then start placing items back in the closet. Whether you use baskets and/or a shoe organizer to organize your stuff, the most important thing is that the closet functions the way you need it to, and that all of your stuff is easily accessible!
Now it's your turn!!! I can't wait to see what creative organizing solutions you come up with!

My name is Azur Ewari, and I am a Unified Partner on the Rapids Special Olympics Unified Soccer team. Last night, had a pizza party where we had the opportunity to meet some of the people on the Dallas team. At first people were a little hesitant to mingle but then Sam, our captain, decided to break the ice and sat at the other team's table and everyone else just sort of followed his example.
When we were finished with pizza we went to the Nuggets practice court and shot some hoops there for a little bit. Then we played some mini games of basketball and soccer where we mixed teams so that both had Colorado and Texas players. It was a lot of fun and it was nice to get to know some of the people on the other team.
This is my first year on the Rapids Unified team. Meeting new people has been the best by far. My teammates, our coaches, the Rapids players, and the people that run the program – everyone has been very nice in welcoming us on the team. The biggest thing that I have learned is not to be shy and to not be afraid to meet new people and try new things.
Saturday night will be very exciting when we play following the Rapids vs. FC Dallas game. I am most looking forward to showing what we have learned and playing another team.

A Journey of a Thousand Miles ...
By Betsy Yung
May 18, 2012
... begins with just one step ... And with that in mind, I'll step off the edge and stretch my wings with the expectation of flight into the abyss of blogging.
Like so many others who blog or journal about living with HIV, I think my expectations are to build a network of people who can benefit by my experiences and who can offer me a sounding board for some of the problems I'm dealing with.
I call my virus "The Evil Hitchhiker" because that is what he is. He hopped on and began his nasty business in about the year 2000 by my recollection. He never showed himself until I was laying in the hospital on life support with PCP pneumonia suddenly in July of 2010.
After more than eighteen months, I've recovered 131 CD4 cells, gained back 30+ pounds (could have done without the weight gain) and returned to work full-time. Unfortunately I also have returned to smoking, though not nearly as much as before. Like others, my intention is to quit of my own accord in my own time.
I take meds, Kaletra and Isentress in addition to the antibiotic regimen designed to ward off the opportunistic infections I would undoubtedly succumb to without them, Bactrim, Zithromax and Valcyclovir. I also take Paxil to battle depression and large amounts of fish-oil in addition to Niaspan to help combat my cholesterol. I remain a little anemic but otherwise I seem to be holding steady.
Because of the fact that I have only had a few sexual partners over my lifetime, never risked using IV drugs and generally tried to take good care of myself, HIV was, at least theoretically, a very remote possibility for me. You can imagine what a shock it was to hear, at age 49 that I was not only HIV positive, but fighting for my life with full blown AIDS. At that time, I had been in a fully committed relationship for more than eight years. The only man I had been with since 2001 (I'll call him Vince) finally tested negative the following February and promptly moved on, leaving me to deal with my situation alone. It was a bitter pill to swallow but was good to know that I had not passed the virus on.
I knew where I acquired my evil hitchhiker even before checking out of the hospital. When I contacted him, (I'll call him Danny) he and his fiance' visited me in the ICU where I told them both that they needed to be tested. Obviously, he tested positive ... and to my knowledge, his now-wife continues to be negative. He began treatment and continues to live happily ever after.
I recently spoke with Danny ... and told him that while I did not blame him for infecting me, I harbor a tiny bit of resentment that the thing that has completely changed my life and future, was barely a speed-bump in the road of his life. I think he understood ... but I think he may feel some discomfort in our awkward conversations. Perhaps I'm just a reminder of what also lives in him. His wife is a sweet and down-to-earth lady and I like her very much. He is blessed to have her in his life. In the tiny recesses of my mind, I still hope there is love out there for me. I do not anticipate or expect that my life will play out in the way I had always pictured it now but I hope for the best.
Over the coming months, I will continue to write and solicit feedback from those who wish to comment and I'll happily answer any questions. It is my desire to be completely open ... as I have been with my status from the very start. There is no room for shame with this disease ... the world needs to know that the gay community is not the only demographic at risk here. Heterosexual women and those bi-curious boyfriends are the ones woefully under-informed.
More later. Love you all for reading!
