The name Kartuz comes from the kartuzian monks of Saint Richard. The priests lived in the monastery and settled there by Prince Zaphiea's decree at the end of XVII century (the monastery was destroyed in the time of Karl XII). The name Bereza comes from the large birch trees in the town and its surroundings.
The Moscow-Warsaw Road was the main street of the town. On both sides houses were built. On the eastside the gentiles lived, and on the western side, especially in the square of the market and their surroundings, the Jews lived.
According to "Jewish Encyclopedia" (Ed, Keter, Jerusalem, 1971), in 1629 Jews were granted permission to build a synagogue in Kartuz Bereza. This fact is highlighted by the Jewish Encyclopedia published in Berlin in 1929. Also, the "Register of Communities ("Pinkas"), Poland, published by Yad Vashem, Jerusalem, indicates that the first information on the Jewish establishment organized in Bereza Kartuska was in 1662.
There is mentioned the following: "in the tax lists of the communities of the surroundings belonging to the mother community of Brest, designated by the Advice Commission of the country (Lithuania) is named K. K. Berezi" [translators note: K. K. means Holy Community]. Therefore according to all the sources of information, the establishment of Jews in Kartuz Bereza was not later than the XVII century.
Regarding the general population in Kartuz Bereza are the following figures:
|Non Jews
During World War I, the Germans conquered Kartuz Bereza. In 1915 they arrived to the Yasolda River and from there, they invaded the houses of the city and then conquered the town. During the German invasion many houses of the town were set on fire. The Germans designated two Jews as Mayor and Vice Mayor of the town. Then, when the town was passed to Poland, Naftaly Levinson was named as Mayor and also a Jew as Vice Mayor.
From the German conquest on, the timber industry developed and many Jews found employment in the industry of the forest and its by-products. The great steam flour mill was owned by a Jew, and Jews were also in other industries such as construction contracting.
In the Community's Register is mentioned details of the budget of the community
of Kartuz Bereza. The following chart lists the main revenues of the community
of Kartuz Bereza in 1939:
|Animal slaughtering
|Birth certificates
|Various income
|Accounts collectable
|Debts payment
|Rabbi's salary
|Slaughter salary
|Management expenses
|Cemetery maintenance
|Social aid
|Social security
|Popular bath
|Institutions budget
In Kartuz Bereza theater groups, choirs, and an orchestra of mandolins and wind instruments performed. Gentiles also participated in the orchestra, but most of the members were Jews. In theater groups and choirs only Jews participated. All were amateurs and the revenues came mostly from the sale of tickets to see the shows.
Due to the Molotov-Ribentrop agreement for the division of Poland on the eve of WWII, Kartuz Bereza moved into the domain of the Soviet Union. The Red Army entered the town and all Zionist activities were interrupted indefinitely.
The state nationalization of business and the heavy load of taxes, harmed many Jewish businesses but, in spite of everything, they made huge efforts and they gathered in cooperatives to resist being absorbed into state service.
During the delivery of ID (identity documents) in 1940, they tried to expel many Jews with the pretext that they were bourgeois, but Jewish communists gave testimony that these Jews had lost all their goods, and the decree was annulled.
On June 22, 1941 the Germans invaded the Soviet Union and the following day they conquered Kartuz Bereza. Many Jews of the town were physically hurt and their money and all things of value were confiscated. Some days after the conquest, on June 26 1941, the Kadisha synagogue was set on fire, and the devastating fire razed many houses in the surrounding area. The characteristic of Jewish life in those days was hunger, illnesses, kidnappings, and forced labor. On May 25, 1942 the Germans brought to Kartuz Bereza Jews of Selcz, and some from Malcz. In July 1942, Germans setup ghettos for the Jews: Ghetto A for productive Jews, and Ghetto B for the rest.
On July 15, 1942 the Germans seized Ghetto B telling the people that they would be transferred to Bialistok, but they took them to the train station of Bluden and from there to the forest of Brona Gura where all were shot and murdered, and buried in wells dug previously. Only two Jews were able to escape and they returned to Ghetto A. They told what had happened. Many of the residents of the Ghetto A escaped to the forests and to the town Pruzhany, and many of them were murdered by peasants and local residents.
On October 15, 1942 the Germans seized Ghetto A. They informed Jews that they
would be sent to work in Russia, but this time the Jews didn't believe them.
They set on fire their merchandise and the things of value that they still had.
The fire extended to all the houses of the Ghetto. The members of the Judenrat
organized a meeting and when it concluded, they committed suicide. Many Jews
were murdered inside the town and others, almost 1800, were transferred outside
of town; there the Germans shot and murdered them.

The double name of the town of Kartuz-Bereza stemmed from two reasons:
The Yasolda River was the secondary means of transportation. The area was full of forests. In the winter the peasants would bring out the trees they had cut down in summer and bring them to the riverbanks. With the melting of the snows, they would tie the trees on rafts and float them downriver in the direction of Danzig. The wood trade was entirely in the hands of Jews.
All the houses in the town, except one, were built of wood. The roofs were made of straw. The houses were small and not covered with lime either inside or outside. There were houses that had no floors. In the center of the house stood the oven. Along the walls were long benches for sitting during the day and for itinerant peasants to sleep on. That's how things were in the distant past.
Over time things changed and the town took on new dimensions with the installment of railroad tracks for the Warsaw-Moscow line; this caused the town to develop. By the way, there is a typical Jewish story about that. When they were about to build the railroad station in Bereza, there was a commotion in the town. The leaders of the community started to try to cancel the project because the passing of the trains on Saturday afternoon would disturb the Sabbath rest. The government took the Jewish inhabitants' opposition into account, and built the railroad station in Bluden, 5 kilometers from Bereza. There was another reason as well for their opposition. The Jews were fearful that the proximity of the railroad station would disturb their source of income on "the road" and that the carriage owners and other craftspeople would lose their income.
The truth is that the railroad "stole" all the movement of merchandise and passengers from the road. The first victims were the carriage owners, horse station owners, the blacksmiths and the hay merchants. However, the laying of the tracks brought additional sources of income. The menial jobs were done by the peasants. The planning, execution, supervision and supply of building materials, the organization of the entire work was done by Jews. There developed a new type of contractor ("padriatchikes").
In Bereza there were big and small contractors of all kinds. Some received big job orders from the government for the laying of the railroad tracks over vast territories throughout the country. An example of this was Mr. Yisrael Greenberg who was a learned man in religion (talmid chacham) and a Zionist. He competed with big contractors from St. Petersburg and wrested various contracts from them. In his house in Bereza he ran a big office and from there his network spread far and wide, all the way to the Caucasus and Siberia.
There were smaller contractors ("ratchikes"). The big ones received vast territories of hundreds of kilometers and divided them among smaller contractors. They were great in number. The laying of the tracks occupied diverse craftspeople. The workers needed food and clothing, which were supplied to them by Jewish merchants and artisans: shoemakers, tailors, hatmakers and others. Thus, the curse of the railroad track turned into a blessing.
Another source of income appeared in the town the commission agents. The railroad network brought together different settlements and enabled merchandise to pass between Germany and Russia. Young men from Bereza would setup offices in Warsaw, Lodz, Minsk and other large cities. They would get in touch with merchants and manufacturers and started trading to buy and sell throughout all of Russia. Some of them were expediters, and controlled a large share of the export trade with other countries. They lived outside Bereza but their families lived in the town. They themselves would come home for the holidays.
Suddenly, most of the population was affected by the mass movement. Immigration to Argentina and the United States started too. There were Jew who set up immigration offices in their home. They would send whole families or the head of the household across the ocean. Many families were supported from the money that their sons or husbands sent back home.
Also, the big military camps which the Russian government built at the end of the 19th century served as a source of income for Jews. The government considered that because of its closeness to the big fort in Brisk, Bereza represented an important strategic point, and they built many military camps close to the town. Many Jews worked in the building of these camps, supplying construction material and hiring workers and craftspeople. After the camps were built, Jewish contractors were supplying food and other necessities to the army, and making a comfortable living from it.
One day a week was market day. There was one day a month (always the same day) set aside as "fair day." The market and the fair brought merchants and craftspeople to the town from far and near. The wood industry grew. Sawmills, steam mills, brick ovens were built. Bereza distinguished itself especially in the fish trade. They would send fish and meat to Warsaw and to Lodz. All these events changed the face of the town. Bigger houses were built in the Jewish quarter of the town. The walls were covered with lime and plaster both inside and outside. The straw roofs disappeared and in their stead were tile or tin roofs. Porches and fences were built, and orchards and gardens were kept. Brick houses started to appear. The stores were cleaned and improved and contained a large assortment of merchandise and staples. The inside of the houses also changed. In every house flooring was put in. The walls were covered with wallpaper. The windows and doors were painted. Instead of the long benches, furniture appeared: tables, sofas ("Vienna chairs"), brass beds with mattresses. In many houses they used gas lamps. Curtains adorned the windows; tablecloths covered the tables. In many houses they put pictures on the walls. There was even a kind of competition- who would make his house more beautiful with nice utensils and dishes.
The town took on a new face during the holidays when all the contractors and commission agents would arrive home to their families. Each one would show off innovations brought with him from the big city. There were people who wore suits made from high quality English fabric. They wore shiny patent leather shoes and rings with diamonds on their fingers. After the holidays the townsmen would disperse and the town would return to the grayness and monotony of its weekday life.
Until the immigration years, Bereza maintained its ideal life in accordance with the generations-long customary Jewish traditions. The Learning Houses (Batei Midrash) were filled with people praying, and there were study groups of: Talmud, Mishnah, Ein Yaakov [commentaries on Talmud], Hefetz Chaim [great rabbinical work] where Judaism was being taught in the evenings. The young studied in cheders and yeshivas. For many years, Bereza was proud of its famous rabbis such as: Rabbi Yitzchak Elchanan Spector, the famous rabbi of Kovno; Rabbi Eliyahu Klatzkin, who moved to Lublin and ended his life in Jerusalem. His son, the noted author and researcher, Dr. Yacov Klatzin was born in Bereza.
But with the immigration across the sea, the ideal situation ended and new winds and new songs reached the shtetl that had been frozen by it's guardians.
Friction began to gnaw at the small community.
|The following text was omitted when this appeared in the 1983 Kartuz Bereza
Yiskor Book
On the south side of "the road" lived the people of means: builders, forest merchants, owners of land and assets, and for that reason it was called the "street of the rich." On the north side and in the market square lived the poor folk: small merchants, wagoners, and artisans. And disputes and disagreements began between the two "classes." The dispute erupted, as is customary in Jewish communities, around the issue of the rabbinate. With the departure of Rabbi Eliahu Klatzkin from town, he offered the post to a relative of his. The rich did not agree and demanded to bring in Rabbi Oshervich, who served as rabbi in the neighboring town of Seltz. Every rabbi had adherents in the synagogue where he was recognized, and the inhabitants of the city were divided into two fanatical camps, fighting each other, being disrespectful to the Torah. In addition to the two rabbis, there was a rabbi on behalf of the government ("Kaziner Rabbin") who managed the Jewish birth, marriage and death records. This rabbi received a government salary while the other two rabbis supported themselves by selling yeast. Each one sought to improve his sales and did public relations not only with the Jews but also with the gentiles; thus, the gentiles also got involved in the Jews' dispute.
Since the income from yeast was insufficient for the rabbis, they were also given the job of selling Yom Kippur candles. But the candles could not lighten the darkness of their poverty, and the rabbis' families literally starved for bread. Therefore, it was decided to add on a weekly salary ("wocher"). Righteous women would collect donations for the rabbi. Naturally, each side sought to help its own rabbi. These appeals for donations deepened the dispute which even reached the bathhouse and the mikvah. And when the old mikvah building collapsed, each side built it's own bathhouse and mikvah.
|The following text appeared in the 1993 Kartuz Bereza Yiskor Book
Until First World War, there was in Bereza six "Batei Midrashim" (religious study academies). It was the old Bet Medresh, the new one or group of study of psalms, that of the workers, and the "Shtibel" that was of the chasidim of Kobrin and Slonim. All these they were in the patio of the synagogue. The old one in Old Temple or "Alte Shul" that was burned. They were other two, that of the Chevra Kadihsa (Holy group) and that of the rich people.
The chasidic movement didn't spread in Polesie. In Bereza were some dozens of chasidim of Slonim and Kobrin. The chasidim of Kobrin were poor people, followers of Rabbi Klatzkin. The Chasidim of Slonim, for the opposite, followed Rabbi Asherovitz, but they lived in peace. The melodies of the chasidim of Polesie were monotonous and sad. On the contrary, the melodies and the prayers of the Jews from Poland,were enthusiastic. There was another difference: the chasidim of Poland traveled to that of the Rebe" y but in the case of those of Polesia the Rebe's went to see to their chasidim.
Most of the inhabitants were "misnagdim " ("antogonicos") that faced the chasidim with iron . The chasidim of Slonim was "Chovevei Tzion" (TN the lovers of Zion, antecedent of the Zionist ones) and they maintained relationships with the authorities of four communities: Jerusalem. Tiberiades, Safed and Chevron. A Chasid of Bereza that had emigrated to Israel returned as representative to visit some near towns and to its native city, giving them spiritual forces. The chasidim didn't look with pleasure on the Zionist ones; the last one began activities at the end of the XIX century.
|The following equivalent text appeared in the 1983 Yizkor Book
Until the First World War, there were six houses of study in Bereza: the old study house, the new study house (also known as the "Psalms society"), the study house of the artisans, and the shtebel of the Kobrin and the Slonim Chassidim. All of these were in the synagogue courtyard (Shulhoyf). It was here where the old synagogue had stood (Kalte shul) which had burned down. There were another two other study houses; the Burial Society study house and the study house of the rich. Chassidism was not widespread in Polsia. In Bereza there were some minyans (prayer groups) of the Slonim and Kobrin Chassidim. The Kobrin Chassidim were the very poorest, and they supported Rabbi Klatzkin. In contrast, the Slonim Chassidim followed Rabbi Osherovich. But, the Chassidim lived amongst themselves in peace. The melodies of the Polsia Chassidim were sad and monotonic, in contrast to the melodies of the Polish Chassidim (there was a Chassidic saying that went as follows: from the Biblical phrase 'at the discovery, we were quaking' the Polish Chassidim kept the 'discovery', and left the 'shaking' to the Polsia Chassidim). It was difficult to distinguish between Ecclesiastes [sad] and Hayom Teamtzenu [a festive song]. The Kobrin Chassidim would pray with great excitement. Another difference between the Polsia and the Polish Chassidim was that in Poland the Chassidim would travel to the "Rebbi" , while in Polsia the "Rebbi" would come to his Chassidim. Most of the inhabitants were Mitnagdim[3] and would deride the Hassidim and would call them "Sachidim."
The Slonim Chassidim were "Lovers of Zion" and maintained contacts with Kollels[4] in the four communities: Jerusalem, Tiberius, Sefad and Hebron. A Chassid from Bereza who made "aliya" [emigrated] to the land of Israel would return regularly to visit the shtetl of his birth as an emissary of the Kollels and would bring with him some of the spirit of Israel. The Chassidim looked unfavorably upon the "Zionists" who started their activities in the late 19th century.
The first chairman of the Zionist council was Mr. Shlomo Gershenhorn, a Torah student versed in the Talmudic law and ordained as a rabbi. As a dedicated Zionist activist, he worked zealously and honestly not only in Bereza but in the entire area. The Zionist movement united within it the feuding camps of both rabbis and included various strata of society, and sent "olim" [immigrants] to Eretz Israel. The first "chaluzzim" [pioneers] were the families of Eliovich, Berkovich, and others, who were among the founders of the settlement Yavniel in the lower Galilee. Others settled in Jerusalem.
In the early twentieth century a doctor, his wife, a gynecologist and a midwife, came to Bereza. Before they arrived, the Jews of Bereza had managed without doctors and without midwives. Reb Yacov Yosl, "the Doctor," was a specialist of all the diseases in the world and even maintained in his home a pharmacy and prepared the medications himself. The Jews and the peasants relied on him. Gandzs, the Old Man, would extract teeth by means of a key, and there were many women who served as midwives. The young doctor, DR. SCHWARTZ, and his wife, the gynecologist midwife brought with them not only modern medicine but also the revolution, which shook up the tsarist regime throughout Russia.
The youth clung to the three medical people and would go after them to the forest and hold their secret meetings; the doctor and his wife attracted many young people and brought them into the secret revolt against the tsar. A short time later a student with a great shock of hair and a black shirt showed up in the town and would give lectures about Russian literature. The young men began to dress like him and eagerly drank up his words. Later rumors spread that the student was no other than Maxim Litvinov, whose origins were in Bialystok and whose real name was Volach, who later served as the Soviet Union's foreign minister. The town was in an uproar. Detectives of the Secret Police began to follow many people and hold surprise searches. The student would disappear from time to time and then reappear. Even Yeshiva students were pulled along by this current, and many Zionists exchanged Zion for Mother Russia. Young Jewish men would break into the homes of rich Jews and demand "a contribution" for the revolution while holding pistols in their hands.
During the First World War, battles were waged in Bereza, which was on the main Warsaw-Moscow road. The town became isolated from the surrounding area and the villages. Starvation began to reign in the town. The German, Austrian and Hungarian conquerors would loot all the property they found in the houses and stores. People's efforts were focused on one thing: to find a loaf of bread or potatoes so as not to die of starvation.
After the front moved eastward, the full extent of the destruction was revealed. Many houses were burned and damaged. Properties were robbed. Bridges were blown up. Regimes changed. Today, Germans and tomorrow, Austrians, and then it repeated itself. The Jews were forced adapt to the new reality. The Yiddish language served the Jews as a means of getting closer to the Germans. They began to try to receive permits to go out to other villages and towns in order to obtain food. The conquering authorities granted the permits and the town began to return to more or less "normal" conditions. Houses were built and repaired. Commerce was revived. The Joint began sending aid, and relatives from overseas aided, and it was as if life had returned to its regular course. But the days of peace did not last. The German surrender, the Brisk pact between the Soviet Union and Germany, the Communist revolution, the revival of the state of Poland all these things destabilized the foundations of Jewish existence. The Polish-Russian war again cast the town into the horrors of war. The two combating sides, the Poles and the Russians, would rob anew and levy contributions on the inhabitants. The soldiers were hungry and wore rags, and pilfered anything they could get their hands on. They carried out meticulous searches. The Polish soldiers, who were particularly cruel, were known by the names "General Heller's soldiers" ("the Hellerites") or "the Posnanians."
The war ended with the victory of the Poles. Bereza turned into a Polish town
and the Jews again began to mediate between the city and the village and to
rebuild from the ruins of the war years. The Joint continued it's aid and life
began to return to normal. An "aid committee" was founded with the
participation of the rabbis, but its life blood was provided by people from the
Bund and the left. The rabbis and the ultra-Orthodox contented themselves with
re-opening the Talmud Torah, the ritual bath (mikveh) and renewing the
religious schools. But all other matters were decided by the leftists. They
turned "the bathhouse of the rich", into a school in which Yiddish
was the language of instruction, where not only studies were pursued, but also
food and clothing for children were supplied. In 1922 Zionist activists
returned from Russia and began Zionist and Hebrew activities. They organized
many young people within the framework of the Zionist movement, opened night
classes for Hebrew and founded a Hebrew school based on the "Tarbut"
organization. The Tarbut Center from Warsaw sent teachers and a Hebrew
kindergarten was opened. Not only that, but the Zionist activists purchased a
lot and erected on it a building for a Hebrew school. Young people and adults
began to emigrate to Israel and take part in building the country, both
materially and spiritually.
[Pages 23-24]
In 1915 when the Germans conquered the place, they installed a military hospital there, and they located German pilots in the houses. Near the town there was a small airport. In 1920 during the battles between Russia and Poland, the buildings were burnt down, and after the Poles expelled the Russians, they installed armed guards in the repaired buildings. There was an officers school, a navy school, and one for armored troops that belonged to the Ninth Regiment installed in Brest. In 1934 when the power in Poland went from Marshal Pilsutzky to the "Azan" group, the Poles built there a concentration camp in the pattern previously used by the German army.
A barbed wire fence three meters high was erected around the buildings. A similar fence surrounded the buildings for prisoners, and they also built solitary confinement cells there. Some of the prisons were full with water and they contained various torture-instruments. The large square was the place for carrying out punitive measures. There was also a workplace in which prisoners manufactured concrete blocks to pave streets.
In the buildings there was a line of planks to sleep. The width of each plank was only 10 centimeters, and one or two centimeters separated a plank from the other. Inside the buildings were cells of approximately four square meters each. There was a dining room for the guards who watched over the prisoners day and night.
Initially this camp was planned to be used only for Communists whom the government didn't have any evidence to prosecute. The people in this category were sent by "administrative order" to the concentration camps. Then they began to include criminal prisoners, and their conditions were better than those of the political prisoners. They also had other elements of national minorities, mostly Ukrainian.
During 1939 on the eve of WWII many Jews were arrested and accused of "speculation", that is, they didn't put out the merchandise, that they had in stock in their stores, in the open and plain view, or they charged too much. Jews were held in prison together with their wives. On the eve of the war, Germans from Silesia were were brought to the camp. They were accused of making anti-Polish propaganda. Over time there were 7000 prisoners, 500 of them were women. About 200 guards and officers guarded the camp. All this was controlled by the Minister of the District of Brisk, Kastek Biernatzky, who was known infamously.
The prisoners were terribly tortured. During Catholic holidays they forced them to clean and polish the main street in front of the church. Guards, mounted and on foot, watched over the prisoners. The prisoners had to work quickly because behind them came running a wagon harnessed to other prisoners to pick up the garbage. Everything was carried out while running.
Prisoners who were freed were afraid to tell about the punishment in the camp, and even leftist journalists did not publish a word about the life in the camp. The prisoners did not speak about the bad fooding, because they feared that if they returned to the place, the guards would retaliate against them.
When the Germans came closer to Bereza in 1939, the mayor of the town requested ten volunteer firemen to watch over the town to stop possible pillaging by the peasants. He also asked that they (the firemen) watch over the prisoners since their guards had left town. The fire department picked 10 people for this mission. Six were Jewish and four were Christians. The Mayor gave them the keys to the gate of the camp. In the camp there was a warehouse full of food. On the evening of the 17th of Sept. 1939 the guards had fled in such a hurry that they left behind all of their belongings and all that they had owned in their homes. Part of the inhabitants of Bereza also fled to villages in the surrounding area. Bereza was left without a ruling body and almost without inhabitants.
On the morning of the 18th of Sept. 1939 the 10 volunteers (from the Fire Dept.) came and opened the gates of the camp to enable the prisoners to leave. But the inmates were afraid to leave their jail. They feared that it was a trick and the guards would have an excuse to kill or at least to torture them. The wives of the prisoners rushed in through the gates and started searching for their husbands. Only then did the prisoners understand that they were really free. They broke through the door and windows and climbed over the barbed wire fence. Many were barefoot and only wore underwear. They ran towards the exit of the town in order to distance themselves from the hell (of the prison camp). Many political prisoners want to bring to justice the criminal prisoners who used to mistreat them (the political prisoners). The calmer prisoners called for the inmates to gather according to their place of origin and search for their clothes with which they arrived at the prison camp. In the midst of all this a "committee" was formed to return to each inmate their clothes according to the name on the packages. Only bread was distributed. On the 19th of Sept. the Red Army entered the prisoner camp. The prisoners committee made contact with the Red Army. There were prisoners who couldn't return home because in the meantime their place of origin was conquered and occupied by the Germans. These prisoners stayed in the camp initially and then left on the 18th of Sept. A Jewish victim, Yosef Kamineski died. He was one of the guards. Peasants from the village, Oglen, saw that the Polish guards had fled and the peasants came to pillage the camp. Kamineski tried to stop them and they beat him to death. The next day he was buried according to the Jewish customs.
In 1944 when the Germans left Bereza they burned all the houses and buildings
in town and in the prison camp as well. The rubble and destruction remained a
long time as a memorial to the camp.
[Pages 25-26]
In my poor house here I deployed my dreams
That climbed on the walls that were covered with lime
On sacred books and old worn out books
By the light of the lamp which lit in a corner.
Childhood dreams did not know boundaries
Far, they took me like a knight on their back
And when the road was unknown
A hidden tremor intrigued me
In my poor house in the light and in the blinding twilight
Each corner had its meaning
Although I was immersed in play as any child
But the hidden tremor accompanied me always
In my poor home were intoned songs non-stop
By the young apprentices in my mother's sewing shop
That pleasure penetrated in my life
I always feel it, I feel it as it were new.
In early dawns bowed on a sacred book my father intoned a melody
He never revealed to me the secret of the melody that he sung
And I listened to them melody and entered a hidden world
That nested in me and lamented.
In my poor house were told wonderful stories
Were told by neighbors with "Chasidic" inclinations
Together and separate, they accompany me in my wandering
As echoes that arrive from the distance as "balalaikas" sounds
My poor house was rich on Shabbat and during holidays
The candelabras glowed like golden crowns
Dad's songs, mom's prayers, little "Sarah"
They didn't get lost, I still feel them today.
Around my humble home a small garden grew and blossomed
In which I liked to lie deep in dreams
My humble and dear home in my memory I have kept you so much
I go drunk in the life, drunk by your good wine.
Fog covers the ruins and it rises
It melts in front of the sun soaked of duel
And a leaden block covers the whitish road
Naked and large before my eyes full with tears.
To both sides of the route, grizzly ash
Naked trees rise
Telegraphic threads hum a cradle song
Satiny fields complain with silent voice
To the left of the destroyed mound where until yesterday it was a synagogue
My lost eyes lead me to the back street of the cemetery
As if I were united to a silent retinue
To my hearings an echo comes: "the virtue will save of the death"
A destroyed fence surrounds mute stones
Unjust mounds of orphan sepulchers
Inside the dark sadness in front of a sun in duel
My hearings capture the cry of the sepulchers.
I will remind you
While blood flows in my veins
Until the end, until the end
A warm tremor crosses my bones
Inside my body sick of anxiety
I will remember the palpitating of my heart
When stepping my feet for the first time
The green carpet of the fields
That surrounded silent and calm
While the green grasses were rocked
As waves, waves of spring wind
The burning happiness seals forever
Silent and singing
My eyes discovered the bridge on the river
And the forest that paints green the horizon.
And when taking my eyes to the ashes
Jumping from mound in mound
The thoughts accompany me with their songs
And the blessed memories
They groan silent before me
I will remind you
While blood flows in my veins
Until the end, until the end.

The EU joins battle in the fight against insomniaSaturday, June 30, 2007
Because I am prepared to suffer for the benefit of my readers, I have just sat through all seven minutes and fifty one seconds of '50 years of EU in the World'. It is quite remarkably dull, and has lots and lots of clips of people signing treaties, and is just as misleading and downright mendacious as one would expect. Including the usual canard that 'Europe' has kept the peace in Europe for 50 years.
Elsewhere there is a promo for the dreaded media project which is decidedly Not Safe For Work as it features a range of couple reaching the heights of ecstasy under the title 'Let's Come Together'. Click at your own risk.

Breivik marched with heavily MI5-infiltrated English Defence League in London
Paul Joseph Watson
Prison Planet.com
Tuesday, July 26, 2011
Anders Behring Breivik said he conspired with "business and political leaders" in London years before he set about planning last week's massacre, an intruiging connection given the fact that the gunman's manifesto is datelined "London 2011, suggesting a clear connection to the capital as evidence emerges of a wider plot.
"In the manuscript Breivik describes his "mentor" as an Englishman he identifies as "Richard", and says his journey into violent extremism began at a small meeting in London in 2002 where a group of like-minded extremists met to "reform" the Knights Templar Europe, a military group whose purpose was "to seize political and military control of western European countries and implement a cultural conservative political agenda," reports the Guardian.
"In his manifesto Breivik said the gathering in London was "not a stereotypical 'rightwing' meeting full of underprivileged, racist skinheads with a short temper". Instead, he claimed those present were successful entrepreneurs, "business or political leaders, some with families, most Christian conservatives, but also some agnostics and even atheists".
The gunman said that the participants of the meeting came from all over Europe and that he was first put into contact with them by a "Serbian crusader commander".
Breivik's conenctions with London – he lived there as a child when his father was working at the Norwegian embassy – are clearly a cornerstone of his plot. Indeed, as Mark Steyn writes for the National Review Online, the gunman's manifesto is largely concerned with Britain and America. "The entire document is strangely anglocentric – in among the citations of NR and The Washington Times, there's not a lot about Norway."
The manifesto, signed by the killer as "Andrew Berwick" (an anglicised version of his name), is datelined "London, 2011," clearly indicating Breivik was in the English capital before his rampage, although the media have asserted otherwise without expalining why Breivik would deliberately place such an error in his own screed.
It is now being reported that Breivik was in London as recently as last year, when he took part in an English Defence League march. The EDL is a far-right group that largely comprises of former football hooligans. Its organization is shabby and the group has attracted an odious reputation of being run by violent, drunk and racist thugs. The group's unpopularity is habitually exploited by the British establishment to demonize legitimate criticism of mass immigration policies as extremist and racist.
The group is routinely labeled "neo-nazi" by the mainstream media yet is staunchly pro-Israel and has displayed Israeli flags at its protests. The EDL routinely clashes with pro-Muslim groups, scenes that are given generous press coverage in order to push "clash of civilization" rhetoric and keep the British people at each other's throats, enabling the government to engage in "divide and conquer" tactics by manipulating the public perception of both groups.
Since the EDL is mostly made up of gangs of football hooligans, which have been completely infiltrated by British authorities, many have speculated that the English Defence League is being steered and controlled by MI5 and Special Branch.
We now know that Norwegian intelligence was aware of Breivik and had included his name on a terrorism watchlist back in March after the gunman purchased large amounts of fertiliser from an online shop in Poland. This wasn't a sprawling database with hundreds of thousands of names amongst which Breivik's could have been lost, it contained just 60 individuals.
The list was passed to the Police Security Service (PST) by Norwegian Customs, which might explain why police knew Breivik's name before they arrested him on the island of Utoeya, even as the global media was all but certain that the attacks were the work of Al-Qaeda Muslims.
Breivik's financial fortunes certainly took a turn for the better in 2006. According to his tax filings, which are publicly available on the Internet for all Norwegian citizens (Breivik's have since been deleted but the cache remains), the gunman went from making virtually nothing to an income of over 600,000 krona (roughly $116,000 dollars) from 2006-2007.
As more details emerge about Breivik's activities, his connections with London and his assertion that he was merely one of at least three "cells," it's obvious that a wider plot involving more people was responsible for last week's carnage. This dovetails with reports from eyewitnesses who said they heard gunshots coming from two different parts of the island and saw another gunman with dark hair. Whether or not an incident that took place in south west Norway on Saturday night, in which a man was shot in the head by two men wearing military uniforms, is connected to the attacks remains to be seen.
However, Norwegian authorities and the establishment media are actively discouraging the possibility of a wider plot by focusing solely on Breivik and largely disregarding ample evidence of others being involved, thereby ensuring the "business and political leaders" the gunman said he conspired with remain under the radar.

Staff at Pease's Candy traditionally spend the week leading up to Valentine's Day dipping large quantities of chocolate-covered strawberries. Using dark chocolate, however, is something new.
Staff at Pease's Candy traditionally spend the week leading up to Valentine's Day dipping large quantities of chocolate-covered strawberries.
Using dark chocolate, however, is something new.
"Dark chocolate (sales) continue to grow every year," said owner Rob Flesher, who estimated the Springfield-based company will sell 1,000 pounds of chocolate-covered strawberries during the holiday weekend with dark chocolate accounting for about a quarter of that business.
"Five years ago, we only did milk chocolate. I'm guessing it's that people hear it's healthy for them."
Various studies over the past decade have credited moderate dark chocolate consumption with health benefits ranging from lower blood pressure to decreased risk of heart disease, reduction in clotting that could cause stroke to lower bad cholesterol, increased brain function in seniors to sunburn protection.
"The studies are true. That's the good news," said Anne Daly, director of nutrition and diabetes education at the Springfield Diabetes and Endocrine Center.
"But it's a piece of nutrition information that people can be confused by because of too little information. It doesn't mean you should be buying a candy bar each time you're at Walgreen's picking up your prescription."
Flavinol found in cocoa beans is the source of chocolate's curative properties. Dark chocolate contains more Flavinol because it has a higher cocoa content than milk and white chocolate.
The daily recommendation is 200 milligrams.
That equates to 2 ounces of dark chocolate weighing in at 300 calories and 35 grams of sugar. You'd need to eat six full-size Hershey bars to get the same amount, but that comes with a whopping 1,500 calories and 160 grams of sugar.
Even so, Daly said not all dark chocolates are alike.
She recommends items that contain 70 percent or more of cocoa and have undergone minimal processing, which can lower the Flavinol content. Even then, consumption should be limited to no more than a couple of ounces a week, she said.
Nicole Swartz, a recent Chicago transplant, said demand for dark chocolate isn't as strong in central Illinois as it is in more metropolitan areas.
"It'll trickle this way," said Swartz, a culinary instructor at Lincoln Land Community College. "In this area, most people are still going to the grocery store to pick up chocolate. They're still stuck on their Hershey's."
Traditionally, milk chocolate has monopolized the shelves in the checkout aisles. And while it still represents a majority, dark chocolate versions of everything from Snickers to M&Ms now share the space.
"The big guys are catching on, too," Flesher said.
But in addition to packing more health benefits, dark chocolate also hits the wallet harder.
Joshua Becker, owner of Cocoa Blue Chocolates in Rochester, sells dark chocolate bars with 65-, 70- and 84-percent cocoa content, in addition to milk and white chocolate confections.
He recently began offering 1-ounce mini bars with the aim of building his dark chocolate following. His full-size, 84-percent dark chocolate bar sells for just under $9 — $3 more than the other bars.
"These little, tiny bars lets someone test them out without the big purchase," he said. "I wanted to get people to expand their chocolate experience and, maybe, help them eat some chocolate guilt-free."

Gary Sinise, Lt. Dan Band have benefit concert Sunday in Parker
Phones at the Gary Sinise Foundation started ringing off the hook Sunday after a segment featuring one of its initiatives, Building for America's Bravest, aired on "60 Minutes."
People wanted to thank the award-winning actor for his commitment to America's wounded warriors — and to offer their support.
On Sunday, Colorado residents will have an opportunity to do both because Sinise, best known for his roles in "Forrest Gump" and "CSI: NY," brings his Lt. Dan Band to Colorado Golf Club in Parker for a concert and cookout.
He will also host a $500-per-player golf tournament on Monday.
Both events will raise money for the foundation Sinise launched in 2011 to honor and support veterans, first responders, their families and other "defenders." Building for America's Bravest, for example, works with the Stephen Siller Tunnel To Towers Foundation to construct customized "smart homes" for severely wounded soldiers.
The Lt. Dan Band, named for the double-amputee Vietnam war veteran Sinise played in "Forrest Gump," is a cover band that has made 40-plus USO tours and played numerous concerts that benefit servicemen and first responders.
"Every song we play is a good one," Sinise said in a telephone interview with The Denver Post. "That's the thing about cover bands; we only play the good ones." Lt. Dan Band concerts typically last about two hours.
His dedication to America's defenders, Sinise said, is simple: "Without those brave men and women, we have no freedom."
Sunday's concert and cookout begins at 3 p.m. Tickets are $100 for adults and $50 for children between the ages of 12 and 18. Children up to age 12 are admitted free. Golfers receive VIP access to the festivities on Sunday, along with tournament-day lunch, dinner, open bar and access to club amenities.

In the wake of the San Francisco 49ers It Gets Better video, news has surfaced of Major League Baseball pitchers taking a stance for marriage equality by posing by themselves and their families for the California based NOH8 Campaign. Three-time-All-Star and World Champion Matt Cain from the San Francisco Giants, Mat Latos of the Cincinnati Reds, and 2010 National League Silver Slugger winner Yovani Gallardo for the Milwaukee Brewers are the first current Major Leaguers to lend their faces to marriage equality.
The NOH8 Campaign was started just after Proposition 8 passed on November 8, 2008, in California that recalled California's marriage equality law. The NOH8 Campaign is a silent, photographic protest created by celebrity photographer Adam Bouska and partner Jeff Parshley. Photos depict subjects with duct tape over their mouths symbolizing their voices being silenced by Proposition 8 and other legislation worldwide, and NOH8 painted on one cheek in protest.
These three pitchers join a growing list of athletes who use their celebrity to bring attention to the NOH8 Campaign's mission. Recent athletes who have joined the NOH8 Campaign include NFL free agent C.J. Gable, New England Patriots safety Bret Lockett, NFL free agent Nic Harris, former MLB player Billy Bean, former NFL player Esera Tuaolo and Portland Timbers defender Mike Chabala. Billy Bean and Esera Tuaolo have recently come out of the closet since their retirement.

AIKEN, S.C. - Senior guard Shaun Keaton (Albany, Ga.) poured in a team-high 25 points, but it was junior Ty Rowland (Lilburn, Ga.) making not one, but two big shots to help Georgia College & State University basketball (21-5, 15-5 PBC) past No. 11 USC Aiken (21-6, 16-4 PBC) tonight (Feb. 28).
The Bobcats down three at 68-65 with 55 seconds left, Rowland drove to the hole, getting knocked in mid-air but completing the basket for the three-point play and a tie ballgame. Neither team scored in the final 50 seconds of regulation, forcing overtime.
There, the Bobcats once again found themselves down 72-71 with 33 seconds left, when Graham Martin (Marietta, Ga.) picked Josh Dollard's pocket. Running the clock down to 16 seconds, Rowland again drove to the hoop, making a layup to get a 73-72 advantage. The Pacers missed a three attempt and the tip attempt following failed to score as well.
Rowland finished with 14 points, getting 11 after the halftime break. He added four assists. Keaton was 8-for-16 from the field, including 5-for-8 from three-point en route to 25 points. The scoring was his fourth-straight 20-point game. The Bobcats also got 10 points from Martin.
The Pacers had three double-digit scorers themselves, as Dollard was 11-for-15 from the floor, netting 26 points with his eight boards. Casey McMasters had 13 off the pine, and defending Co-Peach Belt Conference (PBC) Player of the Year Chris Commons was held under his 17.7 season average, scoring just 11.
The win comes in GCSU's first overtime game of the 2008-09 season. The most recent overtime contest was Feb. 7, 2007, a loss at Columbus State University. The most recent overtime win was Feb. 1, 2006 at USC Aiken.
Georgia College now has 21 wins this season, tying for the eighth-most victories in school history. The Bobcats have now beaten the Pacers twice this season, and are 4-3 against nationally-ranked competition this year.
Keaton now has 1,307 points in his career, just one point away from sixth place and William Northcut (1985-89). Keaton made four free-throws tonight, passing Georgia College Athletics Hall of Famer Robert Williams (1973-77) into fourth in school history with 289 in Keaton's three-year career.
Senior Ken Kemp (Dublin, Ga.) nabbed five rebounds tonight, giving him 452 in his career. Kemp is now 17 behind Julius Wilcox (1984-88) and eighth place for Georgia College history.
The Bobcats have nearly a week off to prepare for the 2009 PBC Tournament, where they will return to Aiken, this year's host. Georgia College will face off with North Georgia (15-11, 9-11 PBC) Friday, March 6 at 3 p.m.

The "JUSTIN BAILEY"
Posted on
GAIAttack is the second game from Rusty, Shaun, and Matt in the Retro Game Crunch. It's a fun, bottom-to-top platformer similiar to Super Crate Box (which is also a lot of fun).
"So, who's Justin Bailey?" you might be wondering. JUSTIN BAILEY is one of many Metroid passwords. Is he a real person? I have no idea. There are a few theories on why JUSTIN BAILEY is a Metroid password. So, fire away if you've ever wanted to play Metroid as Samus in a bathing suit.
"Uh, what does Metroid have to do with GAIAttack?" Well, just like Justin Bailey, "spooner" now joins the ranks of cheats putting players in bathing suits. Okay, not really. Enter "spooner" (without the quotation marks) on the start screen of GAIAttack and unlock the following cheats: during play, type "0" to go to the next level, "9" to go to the previous one, "8" to go to the next save point, or "7" to go to the previous one. Unfortunately, your score and time won't be submitted to the leaderboard. So, cheat and have fun.

Hungry for the coziness of chili, the ease of hands-off cooking, and the flavor of slow-simmered goodies? Here are a couple of fantastic new recipes for chili made in a slow cooker!
1/10th of recipe (1 heaping cup): 207 calories, 3.5g total fat (1.5g sat fat), 772mg sodium, 20g carbs, 6g fiber, 4g sugars, 23g protein Freestyle™ SmartPoints® value 1* SmartPoints® value 5* Imagine that a bunch of Buffalo wings went for a swim in a pot of hearty white chili... YUP, that's basically what this is. Watch how it's made…
Ingredients: 1 1/2 lb. raw boneless skinless chicken breasts, halved 1/4 tsp. each salt and black pepper 2 cups low-sodium fat-free chicken broth Two 15.5-oz. cans cannellini (white kidney) beans, drained and rinsed 3 cups chopped celery 2 cups peeled and chopped carrots 2 cups chopped onion 1 tsp. chopped garlic 1 tsp. chili powder 1 tsp. ground cumin 1/3 cup plus 2 1/2 tsp. Frank's RedHot Original Cayenne Pepper sauce 1/2 cup plus 2 tbsp. crumbled blue cheese Optional seasonings: additional salt and black pepper Directions: Season chicken with salt and pepper, and place in a slow cooker. Add all remaining ingredients except hot sauce and blue cheese. Gently stir. Cover and cook on high for 3 - 4 hours or on low for 7 - 8 hours, until chicken is fully cooked. Remove chicken and place in a large bowl. Shred with two forks -- one to hold the chicken in place and the other to scrape across and shred it. Add 1/3 cup hot sauce to chicken, and toss to coat. Stir saucy chicken into the chili in the slow cooker. Top each serving with 1/4 tsp. hot sauce and 1 tbsp. blue cheese crumbles. Enjoy! MAKES 10 SERVINGS
1/8th of recipe (about 3/4 cup chili and 1 piece cornbread): 198 calories, 1.5g total fat (0g sat fat), 963mg sodium, 41g carbs, 5.5g fiber, 13.5g sugars, 6.5g protein Freestyle™ SmartPoints® value 1* SmartPoints® value 5* Cornbread with chili is one of the best comfort-food duos of all time.

1 cup peeled and chopped carrots
1 cup chopped onion

Cover and cook on high for 3 hours or on low for 7 hours. To make the cornbread, in a large bowl, combine cornbread mix, egg substitute, and applesauce. Mix well. Fold in chopped jalapeño. Add cornbread mixture to the cooked chili in the slow cooker in 8 evenly spaced, evenly sized dollops. Cover and cook on high for about 30 minutes, until topping is fully cooked. Enjoy!

(AP) -- Both drivers in the Orland crash involving a Fed-Ex truck and bus full of students had clean driving records.
According to The Sacramento Bee, California's Department of Motor Vehicles says neither driver had a moving violation, though the bus driver's license was briefly suspended a decade ago.
Fed-Ex driver Tim Evans and the driver of the chartered bus, Talalelei Lealao-Taiao, were killed along with eight passengers Thursday when the truck veered across the median of Interstate 5 and smashed into the bus.
Federal and state investigators expect to take months to determine what caused the accident.

Who's Got Next? Recruiting Scandals, Updated Player Interests and More…Posted by Josh Paunil on May 10th, 2011
Who's Got Next? is a weekly column by Josh Paunil, the RTC recruiting guru. We encourage you to check out his website dedicated solely to college basketball recruiting, National Recruiting Spotlight, for more detailed recruiting information. Each week he will bring you an overview of what's going on in the complex world of recruiting, from who is signing where among the seniors to who the hot prospects are in the lower levels of the sport. If you have any suggestions as to areas we're missing, please let us know at firstname.lastname@example.com.
From another recruiting scandal to new developments on an old recruiting scandal, this week has been full of news and headlines in the high school basketball world and also includes the best class of 2012 guard in the country de-committing. There have been several updates as well on top prospects from sophomores to seniors regarding their favorite schools and numerous guys have continued to step up their performances throughout the AAU circuit. Let's take a deeper look…
What We Learned
Louisville Loses Purvis. In a somewhat expected move, the best Class of 2012 guard in the country, shooting guard Rodney Purvis (#7), backed out of his commitment to Louisville after assistant coach Tim Fuller left to take a job at Missouri. However, Louisville has brought in a new assistant coach, Kevin Keatts, who has coached many guys from Purvis' AAU team and has done well recruiting in the Raleigh area, Purvis' hometown. Before he chose the Cardinals, Purvis considered Duke, Kentucky, Virginia Tech, Wake Forest and Xavier, among others, but has already come out with a new list featuring Duke and Kentucky (again), Louisville (still), and North Carolina State. North Carolina and Missouri are also expected to jump in because Purvis is an RTP native and has obvious ties with the Tigers since their new assistant coach is the reason he chose the Cardinals orginally. Purvis said he'll be looking for a stable coaching situation and a strong relationship with a staff going forward (to see the rest of Purvis' comments, check out the "What They're Saying" section below) and that he hasn't ruled out Louisville. Another thing to note is that he hasn't yet talked to new NC State head coach Mark Gottfried.
High School Powerhouse Oak Hill Adds Elite Shooting Guard. In a surprising move, Class of 2012 shooting guard D'Vauntes Smith-Rivera (#32) will be transferring from North Central High School (IN) to powerhouse Oak Hill Academy (VA) for his senior season. Smith-Rivera will be joining an already talented squad that has junior wings Jordan Adams (#50) and Damien Wilson as well as center A.J. Hammons (#48). The news was confirmed Saturday night by his mother, Kelana Rivera, but shocked North Central head coach Doug Mitchell (see the "What They're Saying" section below). Smith-Rivera was a three-year starter and played a key role in North Central's 2010 state championship. He committed to Xavier last year but later de-committed and told us that Texas, Baylor, UCLA and Georgetown are his favorites right now. He also hasn't made any public statements about this transfer but Rivera cited playing for Oak Hill head coach Steve Smith and the good opportunity to prepare for college as to why he's doing so.
Tony Wroten, Jr., Involved In Academic Scandal. Just one week after the Kevin Ware and UCF recruiting scandal, the Seattle Times discovered that the Garfield High School (WA) athletic director in 2010, Jim Valiere, had given Class of 2011 point guard Tony Wroten Jr. (#14 – Washington) and another star athlete passing grades in a Spanish class that never existed. Wroten, Jr., and the other student, Valentino Coleman, told an investigator that Valiere did little more than occasionally quiz them in the hallway last year. The UW commitment needed the class since it requires two years of foreign language credits to enroll. Now you would think that after an investigation discovered this incident, the Athletic Director would try to keep his hands clean, but right after this he created a tiny three-person remedial Spanish class taught by a substitute teachers specifically for Wroten, Jr. This class was district-approved but keep in mind that Garfield High School is already overcrowded and is cutting teachers due to the economy like everyone else. Despite all of this controversy and scandal, if Wroten, Jr., passes his final semester of Spanish this school year, the situation will not affect his UW eligibility, school officials said.

Masturbation Nation, or how mainstream culture forgot the woman's wank
Why is it that masturbation seems to be the domain of men? We're told endlessly that young boys need to get their rocks off, subjected to TV comedy shows that talk of teenager's sheets literally cracking in half from caked-on semen, and fed joke after suggestive joke about piles of tissues on boys' beside tables. Now, I'm all for wondering sardonically whether every nineteen year old lad really suffers from 'night-time hay fever'. but bitches, please: where are all the cultural references to us giving something back to number one?
It seems to me that the huge boner of male puberty has been obscuring female desire for a little too long. Because although we all seem to have agreed that men tugging on their bits doesn't make them blind after all, everyone seems a little bit – well – embarrassed at the idea of those delicate little girls just out of school uniform enjoying a bit of sexy exploration themselves. Sex ed still seems a bit squeamish about mentioning it, instead leaning heavily towards the boys – and you may as well keep waiting for any Hollywood reference to female fannying around, with 'boys and tissues' getting a regular look-in these days, where girls wander around in pretty little skirts and morph innocently from sweet young rosy-cheeked things into lovely slices of marriage material or generic sluts obsessed with men. Either way, their sexualities revolve around waiting for whoever's penis will come along to fill the hole in their lives (ahem) that they can't fulfill themselves.
Women's magazines discuss masturbation in the context of 'finding out how to make sex with your boyfriend better', but lads' mags might have it right here, in their riotous celebration of self-love and all its fodder. The soft porn proffered by Zoo and Nuts has no guilty little disclaimer on it stating that this might make you 'enjoy making love to your girlfriend' more. The problem pages aren't the only places where masturbation comes up, wrapped up nicely in a saccharine package of 'getting to know your body' so you can 'pass on the tips to your partner.' What about just, like, having an orgasm because you feel like it? Because you're tired or you're hungry and there's no food around, or because you have a guilty crush on some really inappropriate friend, or because that kid from Twilight has got just about old enough to fancy? Does everything have to be about planning ahead for when an actual dick gets stuck into you? Because I thought we were living in an age when even women were allowed to do DIY.
Masturbation has been ruined by that wonderful concept 'feminine mystique', which has been almost unexpectedly detrimental to the wider feminist cause. Those sweet, ethereal beings wouldn't do anything as human as masturbate, surely! Thank goodness – then let's not bother producing any cultural material that supports the fact that female masturbatory practice exists. Let's never mention it again.
Day after day, we see women with impossibly long tongues lolling out of their mouths as they crawl through Ann Summers advertorial, but we hear very little of actual, realistic sexual experiences normal to women everywhere. Whips and chilli-based lube are almost supermarket talking points, but even a decade after the Rampant Rabbit was famously celebrated by the characters of Sex and the City, wanking women are still barely producing a whisper on the sex scene. One of the consequences of this is that porn continues to be totally shit for women, so we need to change something before we actually die from saturation of repetitive, objectifying gang bangs that make women touching themselves look like cheeky little minxes putting on a show for their male counterparts.
Come on out, girls, and admit that masturbation is a fun part of your sexuality that is all your own, and doesn't need to be legitimised as 'practice sex.' Men cast away those aspersions years ago now, and we're lagging disappointingly behind. Let's hear it for a masturbation nation!

Hmmm. I don't have a favorite genre of music, but I do have a lot of genres that I don't like and find rather annoying.

Victoria Secret's
Victoria's Secret is no longer just for the Kourkova's and Klum's of the world. And if the girls on the runways these days are "too skinny" then how have so many of them turned up on the catwalk of the world's most curvaceous catalog?
Of course there's Behati (our little girl's all grown-up) who is the first to front the company's latest line, PINK. As well as catwalk queens Maryna Lynchuk, Anne V, Shannan Click and Abbey Lee.
They were all down in South Beach last weekend for this years show which will air Dec. 3rd and it looks like it was a lot of fun. Click here for a behind-the-scenes look courtesy of Paolo and Models.com.
