@ Javiersolana I really appreciate your response. Unfortunately it is difficult to envisage a common EU position, now in the case of Palestine

Ten Reasons for a European 'Yes'
"...the last hope is the Sunday meeting of the Quartet (U.S., Russia, EU and UN), in which Ashton expects the emergence of a miracle that allows to camouflage the divisions in the (EU) community block.
Solana supports the proposal
He who has come out in favor of the Palestinians is Javier Solana. In an article in the "Herald Tribune", Solana and the Finnish mediator Martti Ahtisaari, have advocated a European bloc backing the Palestinian plan, questioning Israel's objections concerning the violation of agreements and unilateral...."

so Dr. Solana is popping up now with the idea ("10 reasons" for the TEN?) that Europe should speak with one voice in supporting his plan:
Ten Reasons for a European 'Yes'
By MARTTI AHTISAARI AND JAVIER SOLANA
Published: September 16, 2011
"It is not often that Europe has the chance to play a pivotal role on the world stage. But as the Palestinians push for recognition as a state at the United Nations later this month, the European Union is finding itself courted by each side, and therefore more influential on the Middle East process than at any time since the Oslo Accords.
As ever, the biggest challenge facing the E.U.'s 27 member states is presenting a unified front. There are 10 compelling reasons for them to coalesce around a "yes" vote and keep the two-state approach to Middle East peace alive.
The critical vote is likely to be in the General Assembly, on a resolution to upgrade the Palestinians' status from observer to non-member state. The Palestinians are likely to get a majority, but what matters more than the outcome of the vote is its size and composition.
The Israeli government is lobbying hard for a "no," and the P.L.O., unable to significantly shape realities on the ground, hopes to at least show some diplomatic traction for its continued faith in the two-state approach. Europeans find themselves in the unusual position of being the key prize in this tussle.
The first reason why the E.U. 27 should vote "yes" is that the U.N. resolution is an attempt to keep the two-state solution alive. This solution is under attack from the steady expansion of Israeli settlements in the occupied territories, and from Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's belief that the conflict should now be accepted as "insoluble." As a result this vote is not a meaningless distraction, but a reaffirmation that the peace process is meaningful.
The second reason for a European "yes" is that the Europeans have already invested hugely in the two-state solution that is under scrutiny, including the annual €1 billion aid to help build a functioning Palestinian state. Again, a "yes" is a reaffirmation that the project is worthwhile and can succeed.
The third reason for a "yes" is simply to respond positively to Mahmoud Abbas' state-building achievements. Failing to vote "yes" would be to respond to demands for state-building by refusing to formally acknowledge where they have got to.
The fourth reason is about the Arab Spring. Anything other than a "yes" would expose Europeans to charges of double standards from both post-revolutionary governments and conservative Arab regimes (for different reasons) for failing to support rights for Palestinians while advocating them elsewhere.
Usefully, a "yes" also aligns European interests with European values (the fifth reason), as it resets regional relationships. Interests — including preventing jihadist terrorism, containing Iran, security energy supplies and retaining markets for our exports — would all be damaged by perceived hypocrisy on the Israel/Palestinian conflict.
Despite concerns from Atlanticists that a "yes" will damage relations with the United States, arguably it could also be in Washington's interests (the sixth reason). The U.S. is unable to vote "yes" for evident domestic reasons, but the E.U. 27 doing so would strengthen America's hand when dealing with Israel. In the words of William Hague, a healthy trans-Atlantic relationship would be solid rather than slavish.
The seventh and eighth reasons concern Israel. The Israelis' objections to the vote — that it is unilateral and violates previous agreements — do not hold water, and are no reason for Europe not to vote "yes." Although the vote would open up negotiating options for Palestine that are currently closed, overall it might even help Israel. Moves toward recognition of Palestinian statehood within 1967 borders would reinforce the legitimacy of Israel's own existence.
Despite Israeli fears, it would not necessarily open an easier path for Palestinian recourse to the International Criminal Court, and might give Europe a position from which it could pursue a quiet understanding with the Palestinians that they would not pursue I.C.C. jurisdiction for a significant period, drawing the sting from this troubling issue.
The ninth reason for a European "yes" is that it would not make Palestinian violence more likely. Indeed, a combination of perceived failure and the influence of the Arab Spring could touch off a "third intifada." Squeezed between Israel and the invigorating sight of televised uprisings, the Palestinian authorities need a sign of progress if they are to prevent frustrations turning to violence. European endorsement of their statehood would be a powerful public signal that progress is possible.
Finally, a "yes" at the U.N. does not entail bilateral recognition of Palestine. The vote is for upgrading representation at the U.N., and only individual states can bestow recognition on Palestine.
There is of course an 11th reason for a unified European "yes" vote. The world already has enough examples of European inability to play an effective international role. Optimists will hope that Europeans will, this time, surprise us all by doing the right thing and securing themselves a much-needed diplomatic success in the process."
Martti Ahtisaari, a former president of Finland and U.N. mediator, was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 2008. Javier Solana is a distinguished senior fellow in foreign policy at the Brookings Institution, and served as secretary general of NATO and E.U. high representative for common foreign and security policy. Both men are members of the board of the European Council on Foreign Relations.

"Europe postpones aid to Greece and rejects the "recipe" of U.S. Attorney
The Obama treasury secretary, Timothy Geithner, suggested more expansionary measures to the EU. European colleagues told him "no thanks". And he refused to Athens a "lifeline" immediately.
The European Union yesterday gave an economic and financial double message: to Greece he said he did not yet deliver the coveted last part of the rescue fund of 8,000 million euros. And, out, told the U.S. that their recipes are unwelcome shock, and will continue on the path of structural reforms and fiscal austerity. Washington participated in the summit of finance ministers of the eurozone held in Poland with his treasury secretary, Timothy Geithner, something quite unusual. In fact it was the first time that the Treasury chief is attending a summit of European colleagues.
The 17 ministers of the eurozone meeting in Wroclaw, Poland, stone guest stopped Geithner, who urged the EU to increase the volume of European Financial Stability Fund (EFSF), now equipped with 440,000 million euros, and is the tool to address acute crises, such as Greece, Ireland and Portugal.
Proposal rejected. Geithner The proposed policy involves following expansionary monetary and fiscal policies, applying United States. The model in mind Geithner is the TARP program, created in America during the 2008 crisis to stimulate consumer credit and business, guaranteeing the loans to banks. But this mechanism is not transferred to the European EFSF. "There is debate in the EU the increase or expansion of the European mechanism for financial stability with a non-member euro area," said the chairman of the Eurogroup, Luxembourg's Jean-Claude Juncker. He added that "European governments are no leeway in the euro zone that would allow new stimulus" tax. Europe is on his way to prioritize "fiscal consolidation and structural reforms," agreed Commissioner Juncker and European Commission Economy, Olli Rehn.
Geithner stressed to his fellow European leaders that there calls for an increase in funding for EFSF, but put on the table should be sufficient to guarantee that a hypothetical redemption of Spain or Italy. Europe, Geithner also said, should "stop talking" about the possibility of a default of Greece and accelerate the solution of the problem. The Austrian minister, Maria Fekter, criticized even the presence of Geithner at the meeting: "I do not think it is justified that someone is here to teach us anything. If you look at the macroeconomic data, Europe is better than them," he snapped. Germanic colleague, Wolfgang Schauble, was also contrary to the accusations of Geithner, even without resorting to such harsh language.
Greece, in limbo. Meanwhile, in the front properly European, Greece received a severe correction from the ministers of the eurozone and the rest of the EU, and must wait for mid-October this year to receive the last 8 billion euros in the first bailout package, and to approve a second fund for help...." link

The scammer is using a gmail account but I did notice in the full headers the email was routed through wanadoo.fr, which is another service out of France that scammers and spammers in general use. Everything about this email has all the classic signs of a scam - poor formatting, the moving from one country to another, setting up the "story" of why they are using their third-party shipper, asking for the prices when my website already lists the prices, etc.
They say their cashier's check "can be easily cashed" at your local bank but we all know that isn't true.
I'll underscore again. ANY email (and I do mean ANY) that email insist on the use of their 3rd party shipper and where the check they send is for more than what is owed, asking you to forward the difference to the shipper - it is a scam and DO NOT send anything. Don't deposit the check (you can always ask the bank to check out the check without depositing and opening yourself to bounced check fees) and stop all conversation. Let them spend the cost to send you the check and you haven't lost anything - money or artwork.
Even though I do this blog and run a facebook page with the same purpose of exposing them and reducing the number of victims, the scammers still send me scams as much as anyone else. It's a numbers game to them. They don't care. So all we can do is keep posting their emails, fake names and email addresses and keep alerting as many people as possible to this BEFORE they lose anything.

Poland ponder injuries and keeper dilemma
Poland are hopeful injured midfielders Eugen Polanski and Dariusz Dudka as well as defender Damien Perquis will recover in time for Saturday's decisive Euro 2012 Group A game against the Czech Republic.
Team spokesman Tomasz Rzasa said he was still waiting for results of doctors' tests on the players, but was optimistic all would be fit.
However, the team doctor told the PAP state news agency all three would miss training on Wednesday and Dudka, who has strained stomach muscles, would probably rest on Thursday as well.
Polanski, who has a bruised knee, and Dudka both came off before the end of Tuesday's 1-1 draw with Russia, and Pequis needed treatment to his knee and arm after taking separate blows to each.
Coach Franciszek Smuda also faces a dilemma over whether to reinstate his first-choice goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesny who is eligible to play after serving a one-match ban for a red card in the opening game against Greece.
His replacement, Przemyslaw Tyton, saved a penalty with his first touch against Greece and impressed against Russia.
Asked about the issue on Tuesday, Smuda seemed to be leaning in favour of Szczesny, though his reply was not unequivocal.
"We have said from the start that Wojciech Szczesny is number one and there is no discussion about that," he said. "There is a chance he will play against the Czechs."

Some months ago I mentioned that my sewing plans included making up #266 from the May 2013 issue of the Brazilian magazine Manequim. I finally did it. The top is a drapy pullover V-neck with lots of details that I liked, and some that I wasn't so crazy about: my version has no epaulets with "spikes."
The muslin I made last summer was not promising. (Rant appears here, in case you are interested.) Basically, the muslin revealed my misunderstanding of how Manequim works. I had assumed that, as in Burda, the clothes shown in the photos were actually sewn from the included patterns. Instead, Manequim's photos feature ready-to-wear clothes (clearly labeled with manufacturer and price, by the way), and patterns have then been drafted that are more or less similar to the RTW. In this case, it was less similar . . . though Melissa of Fehr Trade, who has much more experience with Manequim than I do, seems not to have had this issue, so I may have just been unlucky. The main problem was that the V-neck was quite a bit smaller than in the original:
Once I got over my surprise, this was an easy fix. I recut the pattern pieces so that the neckline was a little wider and considerably deeper. I also tapered the side seams in, from nothing at the underarm to a total of 4 inches at the hem, so I can wear it out sometimes, as opposed to tucked in, without looking like I'm swimming in it.
It's worth noting that this is a size 40, two full sizes down from what my measurements call for according to Manequim (not the same as Burda sizes). Like many Manequim patterns, this one comes in only one size. Looking at the photo below, I think it's too wide through my shoulders even so. I know this top is meant to be a loose-fitting style, but it would be beyond loose on someone who normally wears a 40.
This top needs a very drapey fabric. The version in the magazine was made from microfiber, and my first thought was to use silk, as I so often do. In the end, though, I thought it was a good use for a length of peachskin I had picked up at a Pattern Review swap several months ago. Maybe everyone else knows what peachskin is? I didn't. It's a drapey polyester fabric with a brushed finish that makes it feel somewhat like suede. I generally prefer sewing with natural fibers, but this was a pleasure to sew with and feels good.
Pattern review is here.
A note for TV watchers:
My husband and I obsessively watched the first season of a French TV series recently. The Returned (Les Revenants, in the original) involves dead people who start showing up, alive and well, in a beautiful alpine town . . . but it's not just another zombie show. The series has subtitles, lots of interconnected characters, and a delightfully eerie, creepy feel that reminds me a little of Twin Peaks.

Extra-terrestrial experiences, such as alien abductions and UFO sightings, may only be products of the human mind.
Michael Raduga from the Out-of-Body Experience Research Center in Los Angeles conducted a study based on his theory that alien encounters are actually vivid dreams.
Raduga enlisted 20 volunteers to do several mental steps upon being half-awake at night. They were told to try separating from their bodies at this stage of sleep. If they successfully dreamt of separating from their bodies, they were instructed to look for aliens. Otherwise, they should go back to sleep and try again later.
At the end of the study, more than 50% of the volunteers were able to achieve an either full or partial out-of-the-body experience. Seven of them successfully made "encounters" with aliens.
Alexander N., one of the participants, testified about meeting aliens who only tried to scare him and did not attempt any contact. He got so frightened that he returned to his conscious self.
Raduga plans to conduct more extensive studies to substantiate his theory.

Friends, meet Tiny Tim, who is supposedly anything but tiny, our newest foster.
He's not in our home yet, but will be by the end of the weekend. He is two years old and was intended to be a breeding stud (literally, although he is quite handsome too), until the breeder realized he had only one testicle (I'm not sure why they kept him for two years knowing this). In short, having just one ball saved his life, or at least has brought him to what will be a better life. Who would have thought?
As we were informed and updated on all of the new bullies coming in, last night I was overwhelmed. I had tears streaming down my cheeks as I looked pictures of each dog. Especially in the holiday season, it is such a reminder of the blessings bestowed upon us. I am so grateful that we are in a position to help this poor souls who have no one to stand up for them. Even as I'm writing this post I'm starting to tear up. Joining CEBR this year has been one of our biggest and proudest accomplishments. I am overwhelmed with happiness in knowing that we truly are making a difference, one dog at a time.

A slow start but then got busy and did some piling stuff up on my latest heap and did a load of organising for my busy working weekend, a day in Castle Howard and then a day in Beverley... lots of travelling!
I also sorted out my future 'telephony provider' as I'm currently on dialup using BT but route all my other calls through The Phone Co-op as they have a hand gadget which allows me to divide up my outgoing calls into Professor Fiddlesticks, LETS, AVP, Green Party, personal, etc by using 'cost centre coding' and this splits up my bill so I can clain my Fiddlesticks expenses and, if I wanted, claim expenses from the various organisations I do phoning for. So I'm going to have The Phone Co-op for my line provider and get broadband.
I got our youngest at 3.15 and cycled down again for 4.15 for the older one, then off to Cubs with him, in the pouring rain, at 6pm. Had a pint with Pete whilst Cubs was on and then went back to see Jo with him before getting back to Cubs and collecting my larger cub and cycling home.

Years ago I had found this idea through someone else serving in YW's and new it would be perfect for teaching the importance of a temple marriage. I'm sorry I can't give credit to the person who did this originally. This was also an activity we invited the mothers to as well.
Our invitations were wedding announcements, worded like an announcement, fancy font, etc. (sorry I didn't take a picture of ours) We went with a yellow and pink color scheme because we wanted to keep the yellow from our Arise and Shine theme for the year.
The basic outline of the evening was that we would divide into three groups. We would have three rooms set up to rotate to. One room was set up for the girls to try on wedding dresses and have their pictures taken. We send around a sign up sheet in Relief Society and Primary for anyone willing to loan us their wedding dress for the evening and had a great response. I think we had about 10 different dresses for the girls to choose from. We also are lucky enough to have someone who takes really good pictures.
Another room we had someone in the ward who was married in the temple, has had their children marry in the temple and has grandchildren speak. She spoke about how making the choice to married in the temple has influenced her children and the way she lives her life. She decorated her room to look "homey", while she spoke she turned the room lights off and only had on a lamp. She brought in one of the armchairs from the foyer and had lots of family pictures on the table.
The last room was the reception area and in here we had a women who was recently married in the temple speak about the decisions she made to make it to the temple and how making decisions young that the temple is your goal influenced how she lived her life.
We also had all the YW leaders bring their wedding pictures and any other memorabilia they had to display. The girls LOVED to look at how different their leaders looked "back then".
After all the classes we met back in the reception area for cake and a sweets bar.
Isn't this cake amazing. One of our yw's mothers does cake decorating, lucky us!!
And of course we had to have our tables look like they might at a wedding reception
We got really great feed back from the girls about this night, as well as from their mothers. I hope they each made a greater resolve to live worthy to be married in the temple.

wow! Congratulations! Your blog is one of my favorites. Thanks for spreading awareness of allergies.
It bothers me that so many children that suffer from food allergies are being diagnosed with add, autism or something else instead. My youngest son changed so much when we changed the diet, his school performance improved dramatically.
Once again, thanks for linking up to Living Well Blog Hop.

Hi Jo, Thank you so much for telling me that! It means a lot to me.
I agree that diet, allergies and poor digestive health are behind many of these diagnoses. We definitely need more awareness on that front, don't we.

Hola Familia/ Amigos
Well count yourselves all as very lucky this week that you're even getting an email. I remember at the beginning of my mission, that I promised I would write home if I heard from home every week. Well one end of the stick hasn't been getting held up. Ha ha
Other than that, everything is going super well. I have absolutely had a wonderful week. It was pretty interesting. First off, we were able to meet with a Seventy this last Wednesday. It was a ton of fun. He talked about the atonement. It was so great, because I really felt it was something our mission really needed. He is over missionary headquarters, which was super interesting.
One thing he mentioned and kind of called us out on, was the fact that we have been asking active members for referrals. He told us that that was the worst thing to do, because most of the time Active members are active because they have active friends. Less active members are usually less active for a reason. It's because they have less active or non-member friends. Maybe this could be something to explain to the other missionaries who are serving around you, that way the work can hasten even more.
Wednesday evening after the half mission conference, we were able to go and visit Eric Long and his family, who we've been working with a ton. He is progressing better than any investigator I have ever had my entire mission. It was super interesting because Eric had a Taser out that he was playing with. He was super interested to see what it would to do someone, or something if he were to use it on them. So I told him I would be the dummy if he would quite smoking and drinking coffee. Well long story short he quite smoking and drinking coffee, which means, yes I got tasered Wednesday evening. It was an interesting tasing session.
Not really anything too interesting happened this week. I am definitely ready for transfers though. I am ready to get back into a Spanish area. I need to start speaking Spanish again.
I hope all goes well for you all. I love and miss you all! I have no desire to write home today, so I am sorry that my email is short!
Love, Elder Albertson

Playing budget politics
Just a couple of days after launching a trial balloon about a 29-cent gasoline tax hike -- to a virtual unanimous round of hostility -- Transportation Secretary James Aloisi was back yesterday with Step 2: Nightmare on the T.
How could we tell?
The Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority will have to increase public transit fares by as much as 25 percent, severely cut back services, or lay off employees unless the agency can figure out how to pay down the agency's crushing debt, the state's top transportation official warned yesterday.
"If we don't get help by June, we're likely to make the cuts," Aloisi said at a meeting yesterday with the MBTA board. "The damage will be significant."
I have to believe there is room for a lot of trimming at the T -- starting with Smilin' Dan's salary and SUV.
And I'm certain I won't miss the "service ambassadors" who speed my ride by standing at the stop so they can register my Charlie Card and speed up Green Line boarding through all doors. How can you miss what you don't see?
There's no denying the T is in tough financial straits because of massive debt dumped on it by the Legislature. And the pension padding that afflicts much of state government is especially problematic at the T, a patronage haven for as long as I can remember.
But as Smilin' Dan loves to tells us monthly, ridership is way up.
So maybe threats of fare hikes and service cuts are designed to get people back into their cars and allow the state to collect more for the gas tax?

I am so pleased to introduced to you, Ashley Wagner of After Nine to Five. She is stunningly thoughtful, creative and inspiring and one of my favourite people ever, even though we've never met.
Here's a little insight into the lovely Miss Ashley:
1. How you spend your day, your week?
Most of my days are spent working on my blog and shop. Even on weekends. When I'm not scheduling posts, adding new things to the blog or shop, or working behind the scenes on everything, I'm usually spending time with my husband plus our two dogs and cat. I love to spend time outside so I'm enjoy the summer before it ends!
2. If you didn't have to worry about money, how would you spend your time?
2. If you didn't have to worry about money, how would you spend your time?
Traveling. I love seeing the world and finding new things to take pictures of, experience, and do.
3. Do you work in your pajamas?
3. Do you work in your pajamas?
Yep! More often than not, I'm in my pajamas. ;]
4. What are 3 things on your desk that require explanation?
4. What are 3 things on your desk that require explanation?
I have a signed picture from the Big Bang Theory cast that I got by going to a show taping when we visited LA and I screamed for an hour to get it. I also have a wooden totem pole from when my husband went to Hawaii that reminds me that one day, I'll finally get to go there. And some white and blue sand from our sand ceremony for our wedding in Negril, Jamaica.
5. How would your best friend describe you?
My best friend is my husband and he likes to tell me how wonderful I am. At least when he wants something. ;] So he usually mentions my kind heart, too caring nature, and passion for everything along with my want for a positive attitude all the time.
6. How would you describe you?
6. How would you describe you?
I'm easy going and care free. I consider myself a kind-hearted soul with a lot of love for life in general and would take on the world if I could. I'm driven, focused, and passionate about everything I do.
7. What are you currently reading, listening to and watching?
7. What are you currently reading, listening to and watching?
I'm a big fan of 30 Seconds to Mars right now. I'm also watching True Blood as I wait for the Fall season of TV to come around. And I'm reading a lot. Blogs, various books, magazines - you name it. Enjoying my two week break from school by reading something other than textbooks.
8. What does your wardrobe look like?
8. What does your wardrobe look like?
Comfy and Earth tones. I like to be relaxed when I'm working or having fun and I'm not too into bright colors.
9. Digital or paper? Cupcakes or pie? Flats or heels?
9. Digital or paper? Cupcakes or pie? Flats or heels?
Digital by far. Both, but if I had to pick cupcakes. And flats. Or bare feet.
10. How do you find time to do all that you do?
10. How do you find time to do all that you do?
I don't. Haha. I'm always wishing I had more time. Time management is something I used to be terrible at, but I've gotten a lot better so I watch my time and things I need to get done each week pretty closely. On top of that, I'm also getting an intern to help out with some of the workload.
If you're smart, you'll subscribe to the After Nine to Five Blog, shop in her store, follow Ashley on Twitter and like her on Facebook.
Would you like to be an advertiser or sponsor and be featured here? I would love that. Contact me.

Q: Clinton and Trump are together in a plane crash, who survives?
A: the planet
The presidential debates are now over. Opinion polls have Clinton in the lead. Clinton presents herself as the progressive candidate, nevertheless, she will be beholden to the Wall Street tycoons. As Sandra Sarandon said, "They haven't contributed millions of dollars to her campaign for nothing."
Trump is not a new phenomenon within the American society. The history of American politics is littered with demagogue populism, of which some have been Third Party or independent candidates, while at other times members of the duopoly. Some journalists would like that Donald Trump is depicted as an aberration. Indeed so, in the difference between Trump and Clinton is that he has as far as we know, ordered people killed. There is little if any difference either between Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump, over treating women with dignity because many women have been killed in Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya and Syria. Her defense of women is hypocritical and fraudulent.
The progressive political commentator, John Pilger, can view Trump as the lesser evil because of his isolationist position on foreign policy:
"Donald Trump is a symptom of this, but he is also a maverick. He says the invasion of Iraq was a crime; he doesn't want to go to war with Russia and China. The danger to the rest of us is not Trump, but Hillary Clinton. She is no maverick. She embodies the resilience and violence of a system whose vaunted "exceptionalism" is totalitarian with an occasional liberal face."
Pilger has remarked on the censorship of his anti-Clinton critique by a liberal website.
Surely it is by your friends you keep that you are judged. Negroponte and Kissinger, are endorsing her, both were involved with dictators, terrorists, drugs dealers, and both supported fascistic death squads.
Others endorsing Clinton:
* Max Boot – A hard-line war hawk and self-declared "American imperialist"
* Eliot Cohen – Founding Signatory for the Project for the New American Century
* Robert Kagan – A former Bush administration official who has been called "the most influential neocon in academe"
* Richard Armitage – Former Deputy Secretary of State who admitted that he was the source who first revealed the identity of CIA officer Valerie Plame
* Madeline Albright – Who said it was "worth it" in describing the 500,000 Iraqi children who died because of U.S. sanctions
* Brent Scowcroft – National Security adviser to Bush #1
* Henry Paulson – Former Treasury Secretary and key bailout architect
* Leon Panetta – Former Director of the CIA
* Dan Senor, a leading neoconservative operative and former foreign policy advisor to Mitt Romney, who declared, "Hillary is more hawkish than any of us!"
*Haim Saban and his wife Cheryl gave $5 million to the Hillary Clinton's Super PAC—Priorities USA Action—between 2015 and 2016. Of that sum, at least $3 million was contributed following Clinton's letter to Haim Saban in July of 2015, in which she sought advice on "how we can work together" to defeat the growing movement to Boycott, Divest from, and Sanction (BDS) Israel.
Republican and Democrats is just the same dog wearing different collars, they are interchangeable. Hilarity Clinton is the ideal Republican Party candidate.
Kaine, Clinton's running mate, is on the very right of the Democratic party and a Wall St clone, supporting new de-regulation of the banks and supporting the TPP and TTIP trade deals. The Damnocrat Kaine has a long history of defending his state's right-to-work law. A decade ago, when he was governor, Kaine referred to Virginia's right-to-work measure as "a law I strongly support." PolitiFact Virginia concluded: "he supported Virginia's right-to-work laws during his gubernatorial campaign and his four years in office. Even the group that seeks to expand these laws [the National Right to Work Foundation] concedes Kaine did few things that troubled them." The election of this senator as Vice-President is an indication of what would be the future of the US working class, whoever they elect is going to affect them and benefits the rulers. New York Senator Chuck Schumer explains, "For every blue-collar Democrat we will lose in western Pennsylvania, we will pick up two or three moderate Republicans in the suburbs of Philadelphia."
Hewlett Packard executive Meg Whitman, typically a strong fundraiser for the Republican Party, announced that she would be supporting Clinton, both at the ballot box and through donations.This endorsement followed those of Michael Bloomberg, Mark Cuban, and Warren Buffett. But the focus on high-profile billionaires obscures the broader discussion of the Democratic Party's move away from labor and toward wealthier, white-collar professionals, whose views on economic issues in particular, are often antithetical to the ambitious changes necessary to combat the trends that have left millions without even the most basic of necessities. Hillary Clinton has, in light of these recent endorsements, predictably attempted to differentiate between "good" billionaires and "bad" billionaires. Clinton has been blessed by the members of the ruling class, now it is just the formality of ritually anointing her President. The choice has already been made by the oligarchs before the general election takes place. She is going to be the winner. All the irregularities made during the primaries favoring Clinton over Sanders has shown that she is the selected as the chosen one.
By, exposing Clinton, we are in no way expressing sympathy for Trump who made all his money from the sweat of the working class. The de-industrialization of the US brought the real estate boom and the finance of real estate property by the banking system, and the price of real estate was inflated, and poor peoples were thrown out from Manhattan, Brooklyn, and the Bronx, and the poor neighborhood of the US, and it was called the process of gentrification. The real estate market is based on parasitism in the same way as the banking system. He is gaining popularity based on the false dreams of millions of workers.
The main problem of the US is not to defeat Donald Trump, the main essential problem is capitalism. Whoever wins the presidential election will become the captain of the battleship and the representative of the capitalist economy.
As socialists, we are opposed to choosing between politicians who are pledged to administrate the affairs of the capitalist system. Why? Because no form of capitalism is worth voting for. Neither Clinton nor Trump has any intention of making fundamental changes to society to benefit workers, nor could they without a mandate to do so from the American working class. Both seek to maintain a society that causes war, pollution, racism, societal breakdown, unemployment, and poverty. Clinton may do a bit better than Trump, but as socialists, we don't care about a bit better, but a whole lot better, which won't happen until a fundamental change is made in society. A change that will eliminate the above social evils – a change called socialism.

A Rich Rant about the Rich
I've been thinking about rich people quite a bit these days.
Probably because the Richy Rich assnugget in the White House seems more concerned about how he and his swamp buddies can acquire more money than they could ever spend in a lifetime.
Or a dozen lifetimes.
Buried below the headlines about Russia, witness intimidation, and obstruction of justice, there are daily tales of how this craven jizzknobbin is stripping away all our protective regulations, turning his cadre of pals into international ambassadors and pimping Trump trash all over my social media feed.
Take the new healthcare bill that came out of the Senate last week.
I'm far too ignorant to dive into the weeds about the ins and outs of health insurance, I have a hard enough time figuring out how our deductibles work, but the new TrumpCare bill and the proposed tax cuts amount to a windfall for wealthy people.
Why do people who have billions of dollars need millions more?
Or even thousands more?
Last week, my wife and I boarded one of those Hornblower-type boats for a sunset cruise around Marina del Rey. It was a birthday party for a friend. And attended by the usual assortment of West LA affluentials.
Not rich, but not wanting to be richer if it comes at the expense of people getting fed, clothed and cared for.
What about the guy who owns the behemoth in the picture (See above)? Does he need a million dollar tax break? A 10 million dollar break? A 100 million dollar tax break? Why? So he can have two helicopters and one on standby if the other is in the shop?
It's fucking disgusting.
And I share the rage of Bernie Sanders. Particularly when I see disabled and terminally ill people dragged from the corridors of the US Senate because they took a stand (albeit seated) for their rights.
Look, I don't like paying taxes anymore than the next guy.
I'd rather keep that money in my pocket so I could pay off my daughter's college tuition. Or fix the rotting pergola in my back yard. Or get out of my 2007 Lexus and into a car with air conditioning that actually works and a retractable moonroof that actually retracts.
But I also like knowing there are policeman, fireman, and men and women in arms ready to defend the country. And that shit costs money. So I'm willing to pay my fair share.
What I'm not willing to do is stand by and watch poor people lose their welfare in favor of the government redistributing money in the form of a WealthFare™.
The thing that will Make America Great Again is when we stop caring about lining our pockets and start caring about our fellow citizens.
I'll get off this soapbox now.
Oh look, new soapboxes are on sale at Bed, Bath and Beyond.

When I spotted the pan co tomate baguette rubbed with vine tomatoes, garlic and olive oil, I knew I had to order this as I loved the ones I had in Spain. It was similar to a bruschetta but with the tomato rubbed into the bread rather than piling on top. The flavours worked so well together though the bread was very crunchy. Perfect to have as pintxos!
This dish had the rustic feel that we love from Spanish plates especially with the chunky romesco salsa, grilled chorizo sausages and the tangy caremelised onions cooked with pedro ximenez (aka sherry) wine. While I did not spot much onions on this plate, the sherry wine was pretty strong in the dish. Dipping the sausages into the romesco sauce was my highlight. They all tasted so good together.
Fried chicken isn't something I would usually see on a Spanish tapas menu but I was craving for buttermilk fried chicken so I didn't care. It was lightly crumbled and not too crispy like Hartsyard or Arisun but they were still freaking delicious and crunchy enough to satisfy me. At $13.00 for around 5 pieces, this is a good cheap eat compared to many other restaurants and bars serving fried chicken these days. While I won't call it the best fried chicken in Sydney, it was delicious enough to enjoy with your mates especially on a cold day.
Thought this was a somewhat heavy dish but again quite delicious. I loved the crumbly and crispy batter a well as the scattering of paprika for a bit of variety in the overall flavour. Will recommend this dish either on your own (if you only order one dish for yourself) or sharing with mates.
Considering some of the battered food available, a ceviche is a welcoming relief for the palate and the health conscious mind. The servings was smaller than I expected considering the price compared to the other dishes on the menu. Still, I thought this was one of my favourites with its light and fresh ingredients. On this occasion, this meal reminded me of the dishes I spotted at local restaurants near my hotel in the Eixample district on my first day of Barcelona. So good to try! Just wish that the size of this dish was bigger.

This time a new and an even more dangerous force is threatening the Galaxy. A new extremely hazardous cyber-life form appears on one of the planets that used to be under the Klissan control - powerful combat robots, who are not only capable of carrying out orders given to them, but who also have an intellect of their own. Possessed by their own programs, the battle machines come into space spreading fear and terror across the inhabited worlds.

This is an excellent article and while I cannot verify every fact the theme is absolutely right. I know from my own unimpeachable sources that Saville was a sick abomination of a human being who not only abused children, but was a necrophiliac, which is defined as an 'obsessive fascination with death and corpse' and an 'attraction to or sexual contact with corpses' - hence his famous 'volunteering' to be a 'porter' at Leeds General Infirmary.
The despicable Saville was also a close friend of Prince Philip until they fell out. Coincidence? No way.

"On 1 March, Savile's solicitors said, The Sun carried a photograph of the former Top of the Pops presenter allegedly visiting the Jersey home.

We are hoping to start a remodel project soon. I hope it happens. If so, I will have my dream pantry. I agree it is a must. I also want a little desk in my kitchen, double ovens, a warming drawer, six burner gas stove, lots of windows, a fireplace in my bedroom, ok...I will stop now:) I like to dream:)

That pantry looks devine! My dream home...I wouldn't want it too big because then I'd have to clean it. I would like each of my kids to have their own small room and then I'd like an exercise room do that our equipment isn't sitting in the middle of the family room.

Wouldn't we all kill for a pantry? When planning a kitchen, the best place is often a corner, the least usable space for a counter & cupboard. Narrow double doors take up less swing space than single door. Narrow shelves minimize floor space & maximize visibility of what's on the shelves.
