Greece Has Been Ruined by the Monetary Union
In a recent speech in Athens, Costas Lapavitsas says the Syriza plan was to achieve radical change within the Eurozone - and that's impossible.
Costas Lapavitsas is a professor of economics at the School of Oriental and African Studies, University of London, and was elected as a member of the Hellenic Parliament for the left-wing Syriza party in the 2015 general election.
Nazis in Ukraine Moving Against U.S. Puppet Regime
Nazi units (Right Sector) are making a more aggressive move to topple the US puppet regime in Ukraine. Now that many of the Nazi 'volunteer battalions' have been trained by the US Army they should be even more effective death squads. The US has created a real mess inside Ukraine......
Right Sector fascists set up a checkpoint on the outskirts of Kiev on Sunday, following deadly clashes between the group and police in Mukachevo which reportedly caused two deaths and more injuries.
Right Sector and associated nationalists maintained a presence outside Kiev's Presidential Administration building, early Sunday morning, following a day of protest Saturday in which they called for the resignation of Minister of Internal Affairs Arsen Avakov and the resignation of police chiefs in the Transcarpathian region.
It appears the US is using the Nazi units to keep their puppet President Poroshenko in Kiev from making any peace agreements with the self-defense forces in eastern Ukraine. Washington wants nothing but chaos and instability on Russia's border in order to force 'regime change' in Moscow.

The Fight to Maintain Japan's Article 9
People rally in front of the Japanese Diet on Wednesday, as the ruling bloc bulldozed security bills through at a special committee of the Lower House |
ARTICLE 9 (Japanese Constitution)Aspiring sincerely to an international peace based on justice and order, the Japanese people forever renounce war as a sovereign right of the nation and the threat or use of force as means of settling international disputes.To accomplish the aim of the preceding paragraph, land, sea, and air forces, as well as other war potential, will never be maintained. The right of belligerency of the state will not be recognized.
The US wants Japan to throw out its post-WW II peace constitution (Article 9) and to join the Pentagon global military juggernaut aimed at Russia and China. The right-wing Prime Minister Shinzo Abe (the grandson of a WWII Japanese fascist military leader) in Tokyo is more than happy to accommodate the US plan for full spectrum dominance. US Ambassador to Japan Caroline Kennedy (another 'good' Democrat) is there on the case to make sure it all happens without too much controversy. But the Japanese peace movement is responding with large protests and more than 60% of the Japanese people oppose this move to war.
Japan has a long history of war making in the region. The Japanese invaded Korea in 1592 on its way to China. Then there was the Sino-Japanese war (1894-1895) between Japan and China. The Russo-Japanese War (1904-1905) saw the Russians suffer a humiliating defeat by the Japanese Navy. During WW II again China and much of the Asia-Pacific was attacked and occupied by the imperial Japanese military.
China and Russia are both on the alert as they witness a resurging Japanese militarist Abe administration, cheered on by the US pivot of 60% of its military forces into the region, being aimed at China and Russia.
China and Russia are both on the alert as they witness a resurging Japanese militarist Abe administration, cheered on by the US pivot of 60% of its military forces into the region, being aimed at China and Russia.
The US strategy is to get Japan to 'interpret Article 9 differently' - allowing its current Self Defense Forces to go out and engage in combat activity with the hyper-active US military not only in the Asia-Pacific but anywhere in the world. The US has already made Japan (along with South Korea, Australia and New Zealand) full NATO 'partners'.
The Japan Times report on the protests yesterday in Tokyo include the following:
"We have to stop the war legislation," chanted participants from labor unions and pacifist organizations as banners flapped.
"We will not die for Abe. Don't send young people to war," they cried, referring to Prime Minister Shinzo Abe.
Participant Yukie Tomoda, from Tokyo's Bunkyo Ward, said she feared the bills could raise the risk of Japan being involved in war.

Greek Tragedy
The Greek parliament has until the end of the day to swallow the austerity reforms demanded by the European creditors to get a third bailout. Two members from the finance ministry have already resigned over the bailout, comparing it to a tombstone. The government after all, came to power promising to put an end to austerity.
Going Out on a Limb....
Former Virginia Senator Jim Webb is now a candidate for president. I believe he will be Hillary's choice for running mate |
- I'm going to go out on a limb on this one but I predict that Hillary will pick former Virginia Senator Jim Webb as her running mate once she secures the Democratic Party nomination. During the Reagan administration Webb was Secretary of the Navy. He has also served as a US Senator from Virginia, Assistant Secretary of Defense, Counsel for the House Veterans Affairs Committee, and Marine Corps officer. Over the years Webb has dabbled in both parties but ran for the Senate in 2006 as a Democrat. He is sometimes called a "maverick" similar in a way to Sen. John McCain in that he is not always predictable. That's just enough for loyal Democrats to take the bait. Webb would likely be helpful to Hillary in her presidential run because the former Virginia senator comes from one of the most heavily militarized states in the country that is still a key part of the bedrock south. Webb recently complained on TV that Bernie Sanders was "Not my Democratic Party." It's the perfect match as far as the war machine goes. They'd love the team. Webb could run the Pentagon and Hillary's job would be to neutralize the women, liberals, environmentalists, and the black community as she pushes Greek-style austerity to America. Say good-bye Social Security and Medicare.....
- Today in the mail we received an award certificate from the city of Bath July 4 parade committee. It appears that our local PeaceWorks group won the 'gold star' award for best "non-profit" group during the recent holiday parade attended by 10,000 Mainers - the biggest July 4 parade in the state. The award was signed by the local chief of police (serving as chief judge) and I take it as recognition in our long local struggle to be taken seriously by the community as we work to convert Bath Iron Works from warship production to building light rail systems, wind turbines, or the like. If you didn't see our photos from that parade just click here
- I taped my latest This Issue public access TV show today and had a wonderful guest. Sherri Mitchell is a Penobscot from Indian Island here in Maine. She came on the show to talk about current struggles native people in Maine (and across the nation) are having as politics is turning mean and nasty. In our state right-wing Gov. LePage has been cruel on Indian issues and has destroyed much progress that had been made over the years in repairing the relationships between native people and the white community. Sherri spoke movingly about her family - told a great story about her grandfather which people will enjoy learning about. She ended the show with a call for all people of good will to work together to help save precious life on our Mother Earth. I'll post the show here once available - likely in 1-2 weeks time.
- I am really impressed with an article by Mike Whitney that I posted on the blog yesterday. He wrote an excellent piece digging under the surface of the Iran nuke deal. Mike outlined a serious case that much of the Iran deal is part of the larger strategy the US-NATO is developing against Russia. All about price of oil and natural gas and the market for supplying Europe - will fossil fuels come from Iran or Russia? Gotta just 'love' the capitalists who always find a way to keep dividing the people against one another.
- Long regarded University of Illinois Professor of International Law Francis Boyle has joined this Iran analysis discussion and agrees that the implications of the agreement went far beyond the nuclear weapons issue. "This is an attempt by the US to reintegrate Iran into the US imperial order for the Persian Gulf," Boyle told Sputnik. Up to 1979, Iran served as "the imperial policeman throughout the Persian Gulf region for the US under the Shah, but this ended with the 1979 Islamic Revolution," Boyle said. In the background to the successful agreement, "the US used the pretext of the nuclear issue to bludgeon Iran into submission by means of the economic sanctions," he added. "I suspect this deal will have wide ranging implications stretching across the Middle East and Central Asia," he said. "Iran has made a strategic choice to align itself with the US. Iran is potentially a useful partner to Washington in energy projects that work against Russian interests, not least of them pipelines serving to 'diversify' Europe's gas supplies," Boyle said. The two countries might also now more openly seek to extend their cooperation in the struggle to roll back the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria, Boyle concluded.

Why Obama Wants to Lift Sanctions on Iran
by Mike Whitney
"It is essential to recognize that Iran does not currently have a nuclear weapons program, nor does it possess a nuclear weapon. On February 26, James Clapper, the director of national intelligence, told the Senate Armed Services Committee that Ayatollah Khomenei, the supreme leader of Iran, ended his country's nuclear weapons program in 2003 and "as far as we know, he's not made the decision to go for a nuclear weapon." This repeats the "high-confidence" judgement of the U.S. Intelligence Community (IC) that was first made in November 2007."
-Micah Zenko, Putting Iran's Nuclear Program in Context, Council on Foreign Relations
It always helps to start with the truth, and in Iran's case, the truth is quite simple. Iran has no nuclear weapons, it has no nuclear weapons program, and it's never been caught diverting nuclear fuel for other purposes. Iran has pursued nuclear technology for peaceful purposes alone.
These are the facts. They may not jibe with the lies propagated in the western media, but they are the facts all the same. Iran is not guilty of anything. It's merely a victim of Washington's power-crazy attempt to control vital resources in the Middle East and enhance Israel's regional hegemony. That's what's really going on. It's all geopolitics. It has nothing to do with nukes.
Media coverage of the so called nuclear negotiations in Laussanne and now in Vienna has focused maniacally on the number of centrifuges, IAEA monitoring programs, uranium enrichment capability, and myriad other arcane topics that are meant to divert attention from the fact that Iran has no nuclear weapons program and no interest in developing one. By poring over the details of these issues in excruciating detail, the reader is left feeling that Iran must be hiding something and therefore must pose a real threat to US national security. But of course that's precisely what the authors of these articles hope to achieve, they want to pull the wool over the public's eyes and get people to believe something that is transparently false. The fact is, Iran is not doing anything underhanded or illegal. They are merely demanding that their right to enrich uranium for peaceful purposes under the terms of the NPT be respected. Iran will not allow itself to be bullied by the US or treated like a second class citizen. Iran has behaved honorably from the beginning, which is a helluva a lot more than can be said of the US.
The media doesn't want to discuss the "additional protocols" that Iran accepted in order to build confidence among members on the United Nations, because then people would realize that Iran has gone the extra mile many times in the past only to be slapped with more spurious accusations of noncompliance or foul play. But where's the evidence of noncompliance or foul play? There isn't any. It's all just fear-mongering speculation and vitriolic BS spewed by the dissembling media. There's not a word of truth to any of it.
The media's latest scam centers on the term "breakout time", which refers to the amount of time it would take for Iran to build a nuclear weapon if it was so inclined, which it isn't.
"Breakout time" is the new propaganda buzzword reiterated thousands of times in the media suggesting that Tehran is just hours away from building an atomic weapon that it will immediately use to annihilate Israel. It's a ridiculous fairy tale that assumes that–since the US is a rouge-homicidal state that goes around bombing the bejesus out of anything that moves–that other states are bound to behave the same if given half a chance. This is wrong on many levels. First of all, Iran doesn't want nukes and, secondly, leaders in other countries are not power-mad megalomaniacs whose only joy in life is reducing broad swathes of the planet to smoldering rubble. That behavior is particular to US leaders alone. Others don't suffer from the same sociopathic disorder.
The nuclear issue has nothing to do Iran's fictitious nuclear weapons program. That's just a smokescreen. The real problem is that Iran is a sovereign country with an independent foreign policy. Washington doesn't like independent nations. Washington likes nations that shut up and do what they're told. Nations that refuse to take orders are Washington's enemies, they're placed on a hit list. And that's where the sanctions come into play. Sanctions are the way that Washington weakens its enemies before bombing them to kingdom come. They're the stick the US uses to beat its rivals into submission.
If you've been following the news lately, you know that something very strange is going on. The US has done an about-face and changed its policy towards Iran. It's a shocking development. The US has maintained the same savage policy towards Cuba for 60 years without changing a thing. Whether the policy works or not, has never mattered; what matters is inflicting maximum pain on the people Washington's doesn't like. So why the sudden change with Iran? Why is Obama trying to reach an agreement with a country that US elites openly despise?
And, keep in mind, that what Obama's doing is extremely unpopular with many powerful groups; the Congress, the media, Israel and even high ranking officials in his own State Department. Could it be that the powerbrokers who pull Obama's strings and tell him what to do have suddenly seen the light and want to open a new era of reconciliation and friendship with Iran?
Of course not. No one believes that. The only reason Obama would strike a deal with Iran is because the US wants something in return. And the US does want something in return. The US wants a substitute for Russian gas flowing to the Europe so it can destroy Russia economically and implement its strategic plan to spread US power across Asia so US mega-corporations can maintain their dominant position in the global economy. Obama is playing nice with Iran so he can pivot to Asia as easily as possible.
So how plausible is it for Iran to replace Russian gas in the lucrative EU market?
Check out this clip from an article written in 2014 that anticipated the very scenario we see developing today, that is, the US trying to prevent an integrated EU-Russian free trade zone that would dwarf the US GDP and leave the exceptional nation to face years of precipitous decline. The article is titled "EU turns to Iran as alternative to Russian gas":
The European Union is quietly increasing the urgency of a plan to import natural gas from Iran, as relations with Tehran thaw, while those with top gas supplier Russia grow colder…
"Iran is far towards the top of our priorities for mid-term measures that will help reduce our reliance on Russian gas supplies," the source said. "Iran's gas could come to Europe quite easily and politically there is a clear rapprochement between Tehran and the West."….
While sanctioned itself, Iran has the world's second largest gas reserves after Russia and is a potential alternative given talks between Tehran and the West to reach a deal over the Islamic Republic's disputed nuclear programme.
"High potential for gas production, domestic energy sector reforms that are underway, and ongoing normalization of its relationship with the West make Iran a credible alternative to Russia," said a paper prepared for the European parliament…
"Given Russia's current strategy politically, which is one of confrontation with Europe, I see the EU having little choice but to find alternative gas supplies," he added…
"Iran's interest to deliver gas to Europe is very big. Parts of Iran's economical and political elite as well as Western companies are preparing for an end of the sanctions," said Frank Umbach, energy research director at King's College in London…
Iran has long lobbied to build a designated pipeline that would connect its huge South Pars gas field with European customers – the so-called Persian Pipeline.
"It's an extremely ambitious project," Handjani said. "Even if half of it gets built it would be major accomplishment for both Europe and Iran."…
Independent feasibility studies show that if sanctions were to be eased and investments started soon, Iran could supply 10-20 billion cubic metres (bcm) of gas a year to Turkey and Europe by the early 2020s.
(EU turns to Iran as alternative to Russian gas, euractiv.com)
This is why Obama wants to ease sanctions; it's because he needs to find an alternate source of gas for Europe while he prosecutes his war on Russia. Defeating Russia has become Washington's top strategic priority. The United States is willing to risk everything –even nuclear war– to maintain its stranglehold on global power and to extend its hegemony into the next century.

Iran Deal Signed - Now Will U.S. Bring 'Missile Defense' Home?
Iran has reached an agreement to significantly limit its nuclear ability for more than a decade in return for lifting international oil and financial sanctions. The agreement is between Iran and Britain, China, France, Germany, Russia, the United States, and the European Union. The deal would not have likely been possible without the active participation of the Russian Federation.
Israel and Saudi Arabia will likely try to kill the deal as will the Republican led Congress in Washington.
Longtime peace worker Jan Oberg in Sweden writes about the deal:
Why Iran in focus and not all those who have nuclear weapons? Why 5 nuclear weapons states at the table, all violating the Non-Proliferation Treaty - telling Iran not to have what they have?All good questions for sure. I'd like to add one more question into this stew.
Why focus on Iran, not Israel which has nuclear weapons, much higher relative military expenditures, a record of violence?
The US has long maintained that the Pentagon's deployment of 'missile defense' (MD) systems into eastern Europe are not aimed at Russia but have been aimed at Iran's nuclear potential. Of course this has always been nonsense but just for a moment let's pretend it was true. The US was 'protecting' itself and Europe from a nuclear attack by Iran - even though Tehran had no nuclear weapons and no long-range delivery systems capable of hitting the US.
So now that this deal has been signed what is the need for the US to continue with its deployments of MD interceptors in Poland and Romania as well as on Navy destroyers in the Mediterranean, Black and Baltic seas? And why the need for the Pentagon's MD radar in Turkey? None of these systems will be needed. Will Washington bring MD home?
Or will the US now search for, and find, another excuse to justify their destabilizing MD interceptors near the Russian border?
Keep your eyes on that bouncing ball.

This is a Coup
The thing that drives me crazy is the self-congratulatory hugs and kisses between the EU banksters and Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras. It's clear that he sold his people out with this deal but he is enjoying it way too much - especially after he came to power campaigning against austerity! Where is the humility?
Just goes to show how the EU oligarchies reach into opposition parties is huge. The Greek people must be stunned and furious after this betrayal by their own leadership. Very sad. It's truly a lesson to be careful with 'leaders' - they can turn on you and sell you out in a flash.
The Problem of Greece is not Only a Tragedy: It is a Lie
By John Pilger
An historic betrayal has consumed Greece. Having set aside the mandate of the Greek electorate, the Syriza government has willfully ignored last week's landslide "No" vote and secretly agreed a raft of repressive, impoverishing measures in return for a "bailout" that means sinister foreign control and a warning to the world.
Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras has pushed through parliament a proposal to cut at least 13 billion euros from the public purse – 4 billion euros more than the "austerity" figure rejected overwhelmingly by the majority of the Greek population in a referendum on 5 July.
These reportedly include a 50 per cent increase in the cost of healthcare for pensioners, almost 40 per cent of whom live in poverty; deep cuts in public sector wages; the complete privatization of public facilities such as airports and ports; a rise in value added tax to 23 per cent, now applied to the Greek islands where people struggle to eke out a living. There is more to come.
"Anti-austerity party sweeps to stunning victory", declared a Guardian headline on January 25. "Radical leftists" the paper called Tsipras and his impressively-educated comrades. They wore open neck shirts, and the finance minister rode a motorbike and was described as a "rock star of economics". It was a façade. They were not radical in any sense of that cliched label, neither were they "anti austerity".
For six months Tsipras and the recently discarded finance minister, Yanis Varoufakis, shuttled between Athens and Brussels, Berlin and the other centres of European money power. Instead of social justice for Greece, they achieved a new indebtedness, a deeper impoverishment that would merely replace a systemic rottenness based on the theft of tax revenue by the Greek super-wealthy – in accordance with European "neo-liberal" values — and cheap, highly profitable loans from those now seeking Greece's scalp.
Greece's debt, reports an audit by the Greek parliament, "is illegal, illegitimate and odious". Proportionally, it is less than 30 per cent that of the debit of Germany, its major creditor. It is less than the debt of European banks whose "bailout" in 2007-8 was barely controversial and unpunished.
For a small country such as Greece, the euro is a colonial currency: a tether to a capitalist ideology so extreme that even the Pope pronounces it "intolerable" and "the dung of the devil". The euro is to Greece what the US dollar is to remote territories in the Pacific, whose poverty and servility is guaranteed by their dependency.
In their travels to the court of the mighty in Brussels and Berlin, Tsipras and Varoufakis presented themselves neither as radicals nor "leftists" nor even honest social democrats, but as two slightly upstart supplicants in their pleas and demands. Without underestimating the hostility they faced, it is fair to say they displayed no political courage. More than once, the Greek people found out about their "secret austerity plans" in leaks to the media: such as a 30 June letter published in the Financial Times, in which Tsipras promised the heads of the EU, the European Central Bank and the IMF to accept their basic, most vicious demands – which he has now accepted.
When the Greek electorate voted "no" on 5 July to this very kind of rotten deal, Tsipras said, "Come Monday and the Greek government will be at the negotiating table after the referendum with better terms for the Greek people". Greeks had not voted for "better terms". They had voted for justice and for sovereignty, as they had done on January 25.
The day after the January election a truly democratic and, yes, radical government would have stopped every euro leaving the country, repudiated the "illegal and odious" debt – as Argentina did successfully — and expedited a plan to leave the crippling Eurozone. But there was no plan. There was only a willingness to be "at the table" seeking "better terms".
The true nature of Syriza has been seldom examined and explained. To the foreign media it is no more than "leftist" or "far left" or "hardline" – the usual misleading spray. Some of Syriza's international supporters have reached, at times, levels of cheer leading reminiscent of the rise of Barack Obama. Few have asked: Who are these "radicals"? What do they believe in?
In 2013, Yanis Varoufakis wrote: "Should we welcome this crisis of European capitalism as an opportunity to replace it with a better system? Or should we be so worried about it as to embark upon a campaign for stabilising capitalism? To me, the answer is clear. Europe's crisis is far less likely to give birth to a better alternative to capitalism …
"I bow to the criticism that I have campaigned on an agenda founded on the assumption that the left was, and remains, squarely defeated …. Yes, I would love to put forward [a] radical agenda. But, no, I am not prepared to commit the [error of the British Labour Party following Thatcher's victory].
"What good did we achieve in Britain in the early 1980s by promoting an agenda of socialist change that British society scorned while falling headlong into Thatcher's neoliberal trip? Precisely none.
What good will it do today to call for a dismantling of the Eurozone, of the European Union itself …?"
Varoufakis omits all mention of the Social Democratic Party that split the Labour vote and led to Blairism. In suggesting people in Britain "scorned socialist change" – when they were given no real opportunity to bring about that change – he echoes Blair.
The leaders of Syriza are revolutionaries of a kind – but their revolution is the perverse, familiar appropriation of social democratic and parliamentary movements by liberals groomed to comply with neo-liberal drivel and a social engineering whose authentic face is that of Wolfgang Schauble, Germany's finance minister, an imperial thug. Like the Labour Party in Britain and its equivalents among former social democratic parties such as the Labor Party in Australia, still describing themselves as "liberal" or even "left", Syriza is the product of an affluent, highly privileged, educated middle class, "schooled in postmodernism", as Alex Lantier wrote.
For them, class is the unmentionable, let alone an enduring struggle, regardless of the reality of the lives of most human beings. Syriza's luminaries are well-groomed; they lead not the resistance that ordinary people crave, as the Greek electorate has so bravely demonstrated, but "better terms" of a venal status quo that corrals and punishes the poor. When merged with "identity politics" and its insidious distractions, the consequence is not resistance, but subservience. "Mainstream" political life in Britain exemplifies this.
This is not inevitable, a done deal, if we wake up from the long, postmodern coma and reject the myths and deceptions of those who claim to represent us, and fight.
Can't Deny the Obvious US-NATO Aggression
This original video was a German interview with Willy Wimmer - former deputy of German Bundestag, former state secretary of German Defense Ministry, former vice president of OSCE. He's an inside foreign policy player and lays out very clearly how the US has turned on the world in order to implement 'full spectrum dominance' on behalf of corporate interests.
For those still in denial about US intentions around the globe this is a good video to watch. Remarkably we are presently finding, even amongst the ranks of key 'peace movement' leaders both in the US and around the world, that some are forcefully refusing to take seriously the analysis so well articulated in this video.
It's rather shocking, as the Pentagon is in hyper-warfare mode on the Russian and Chinese borders, to see some 'professional peaceniks' essentially apologizing for US foreign policy moves and trying to pin the blame on Moscow or Beijing as being responsible to some equal degree for the aggression.
This blocking move by a few helps neutralize the forward organizing motion and articulation by some peace groups at this vital moment.
Wimmer makes the point in the video that in the 1990's when Bill Clinton was president he turned up the volume on NATO expansion toward the Russian border. Clinton led the attack on and balkanization of Yugoslavia and kept the air war (No Fly Zones) over Iraq going. When George W. Bush became president he pulled the US out of the Anti-Ballistic Missile (ABM) Treaty with Russia and was responsible for shock and awe in 2003. Obama has quickened the deployment pace of so-called 'missile defense' systems and NATO expansion along the Russian and Chinese borders that had led to further destabilization in those regions because of the offensive nature of these western operations.
It's all rather hard to miss if one is paying the slightest attention. For some active peaceniks, who proclaim to be opponents of nuclear war, to now be virtually blind about current US-NATO moves along Russia's border leads one to question their sanity or their motives. US-NATO expansion around Russia (and lately into the Asia-Pacific with NATO partnerships in Japan, South Korea, and Australia aimed at China) are obviously triggers for a war that could quickly turn nuclear.
Wake up and smell the coffee - or at the very least stop standing in the way as good people try to build opposition to US-NATO aggression.

Basic criteria are given for the design and use of a diffusion cell for a Rayleigh interferometer for membrane-transport studies. The effect of wave-front deflection on the fringe pattern is presented, as well as a numerical technique that allows the data to be corrected for deflection effects. A completely new type of diffusion cell is discussed that allows transport through membranes to be observed.

We had a great trip to Madrid.The flights were on time,the hotel was great ,the weather was good and most importantly my knee stood up to the walking.Above is the Royal Palace,seen from the open top tourist bus.
This the famous Plaza Major.
There were lots of these "ham museums",shops selling a huge range of hams.
The main purpose of our visit was to visit the three main art galleries.We booked all our tickets online before we left the UK.Our first and favourite museum was the Museo Thyssen Bornemisza which had a special Impressionism and Open -Air Painting exhibition.
A photo of me and Mr H at the entrance to the exhibition.We were first in and so had a great view of all the art.It was mindblowing.So much to take in.
Our second day we went to the Prado which was our least favourite.The Garden of Earthly Delights by Hieronymus Bosch is in here,lots of Rubens,Goya,Raphael.
Our third day we went to Museo Reina Sofia.This had a special Dali exhibition but I am not into Surrealism so it didn't do a lot for me.
Photography is not allowed so below are some photos of postcards we brought back to remind us of our trip.
This is the famous Picasso painting of Guernica(1937) one of his greatest works.It is huge and takes some time to take it all in.
Dali's The Persistence of Memory.This was much smaller than I expected.
These are my favourite paintings by Van Gogh.He is my all time fave and these were two we hadn't seen before.The pc's don't do it justice.It is titled Stevedores in Arles(1888).Idid have another picture but it has disappeared.Another Van Gogh.I'll show you that next time.It was a short trip but very memorable and enjoyable.Away again in 3 weeks to France for a week.Have to make up for lost time.

Almost Annual Pig Roast
With election day drawing closer, Virginians from across the Commonwealth joined #TeamWarner for some fun at Senator Warner's (almost) annual pig roast in King George. Folks from across the Commonwealth played games, enjoyed some great food, and signed up to volunteer in their communities.
We had a great time talking to supporters about the importance of this election which is now less than 60 days away. Even with the start of football season, the campaign was at the top of everyone's minds. People are excited about re-electing Senator Mark Warner and his vision of providing a fair shot for all Virginians.
No party is complete without a few selfies and Senator Warner got in on the action.
Our grassroots team made sure to join in on the fun, whether it was basketball, swimming, canoeing, lawn games, or the main event: the pig.
Make sure to also check out this cool video of the basketball tournament:
Other supporters unable to make it to the pig roast didn't take the day off! They spent Saturday talking to their neighbors about why they support Senator Warner. With football season now in full swing, Rudy represented both Virginia Tech and Senator Warner as he knocked on doors in Chesterfield. Clearly his support worked for Virginia Tech as they went on to beat Ohio State this weekend. Go Hokies!
Be sure to keep up to date with our campaign. Sign up to get involved here: http://markwarnerva.com/join and be sure to follow us on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram.

well he was visiting in ottawa today and I got to meet the man, after he made a completely unscheduled stop on his trip from parliament to the airport. First saw him drive by slowly in his limo (which has very clear windows so you can get a good look at him), then chased after the limo with a few photographers until they stopped and got out. He was very nice and was saying hi to everyone and shaking peoples hands (random strangers who just happened to be there at the time.., since no one knew he would be there). Some of the reactions of the females was quite fun.. like you see in the beatles landing in america video Secret service must have been having a blast tho..I couldnt help but keep thinking how risky it was for him to be doing that. Anyways just glad i could meet "the One" in the flesh.. story about it @ http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/02/19/obama-in-ottawa-makes-sur_n_168343.html
that's cool. i had my camera ready to snap a pic of air force one, but with the cloud cover, I didn't see it! doh!
Not all of us! That guy is a jerk, because of his flight out holding up planes my friend who works at the airport didn't make it for movie night. *shakes fist*
It took me 1 hour and 40 minutes to drive home yesterday due to Bronson being closed to traffic. That was after he was already at the airport. Still it was great to have him here. I hope he comes back in warmer weather.

Christmas at Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory ~ #2013ChristmasGiftGuide #Giveaway #Review
Need ideas for Stocking Stuffers? Check out the traditional Christmas Balls ($7oz of milk chocolate) that tastes so good that you could never have only one. My girls have been begging me for another one then again for another. I had to limit them to three each. They are hovering over me to see if I wave and give them more. This package is great for sharing among co-workers, class mates, or all to yourself if you don't want to share.
If you want to jazz it up a bit, the Christmas Tree (3.4 oz, milk, white, or dark) is also a great idea. This tasty solid chocolate shaped into a tree is perfect to include as a decorative piece to attach on the present. The recipient won't be incline to share like the Christmas Balls. However this is much better than a bow.
A great mini gift idea or another stocking stuffer would be the Chocolate Pretzel Pack. It contains 6 Pretzel dipped in chocolate and rolled in candy cane bits. This is a great Christmas gift idea who likes sweet, salty, and peppermint taste. Perfect to give to someone like a school bus driver, school secretary, and even to the lunchroom teacher.
If you are looking for something cute and is the "bomb", try treating someone to the Candy Cane Santa Bomb as another stocking stuffer idea. It is very hard to describe it but I will try my best. It is shaped into a ball, almost like a truffle and inside contains with candy cane bits inside. It taste so good and I wish I had more. Make sure you purchase a few since they are hard to resist. You can't have just one.
You can't forget those who celebrate Chanukah because Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory made this 4oz hollow milk chocolate Driedle just for the occasion. This treat should be included in their driedle game. It would be a great prize I bet everyone wants to get their hands on this chocolate.
Sometimes giving someone the same box of chocolate might be redundant. Image if a teacher with 30 kids give her chocolates and it might be all the same/similar. So here is some great ideas I think the receiver will enjoy.
The 11oz Clusters Christmas Tree (white chocolate drizzled over milk) would be a nice little gift to give or to keep at home. I think it could be a great center piece at a Christmas party if it lasted long enough for the evening. Guests will be breaking a piece of it off throughout the night and it will be gone before you know it. It is that good. The top is shredded coconut mixed with chocolate. The rest of the body is solid milk chocolate with a hint of dried cranberries. This did not barely last a day so purchase plenty because they will be eaten before you know it. If someone received this all wrapped up, they would not have guessed it was chocolate.
Candy Cane Bark has become a tradition for me. I seem to purchase this for many years. My daughter loves eating chocolate and candy canes and loves to eat these together. Who could say no to a large bar of milk chocolate with a layer of crumbled candy canes? Another chocolate treat my daughter kept on eating. I think I have 6"1 male mouse who also has been nibbling it away and he thinks I would not notice.
If you have someone who is nut crazy like me, I bet the 18oz Nut & Brittle Tray would be the perfect gift you might be looking for. My whole family including my mom and brother loves nuts and chocolate. This tray consist of 6.5" small tray of 6oz deluxe brittle, 6oz bag of mixed nuts, 5.5 oz chocolate covered almond clusters and 3 pieces of chocolate foiled bells. It was all good. After a few days there is barely anything left. I know a few people in my life would love to have this. This would also be great to serve at a Christmas party. Purchase enough for the evening and all you have to do is unwrap it. Your are all set, don't even need to find a plate because it comes with a tray to use to display the goodies.
Rocky has gift packs that starts at C$29.99 that has a combination of items the receiver will enjoy.
The final verdict is that my family and I absolutely adored every chocolate that came to my house. It was the hardest to pick and choose when selecting which one to sample. Since my family and I devoured them in record time I have no choice but to restock with more Rocky Mountain chocolates. Hop over to Rocky Mountain chocolate factory store and there is so much selection that you will sure not be disappointed and there is a possibility that you might pick up something for yourself.
There is a Christmas promotion that ends December 25th that inside in selected 14oz boxed chocolate might contain a Rocky Card value between $10 to $100. Good Luck!
The infamous Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory would like to offer two of my lucky readers a $25 gift card each to their store. That is chocolate heaven.
This contest will run from November 27th to December 25th, 2013 (midnight EST). Winners, You have 72 hours to reply. You must be 18+ Canadians Only. Good Luck!

3 Tips for Biking and Cell Phones
{ voguecloset }
Don't be like this biker (shown above) and chat on the phone while riding your bike. Everyone knows that you shouldn't text while driving, and many states have a hands-free rule for talking on your cell phone as well. It's distracting, some say as dangerous as driving while intoxicated. The same is true of using your phone while biking. Human beings are terrible multi-taskers, as much as we might like to believe (and technology tries to assist us) otherwise.
Here are 3 tips to help you safely use and tote your smartphone with you on your cell two-wheeled trip:
1. Pull over-If you receive a call or text while riding your bike, pull over safety to the sidewalk or curb. Be safe and never chat or text while cycling.
2. Mount-Mounting your phone with one of these fun gadgets can make it quick and easy to reach your phone when parked. Also, these are great for GPS maps and music too.
3. Wait-Mute your cell phone on your bike ride. Use this time to clear your head and enjoy the ride. That important call or text can wait until you arrive at your destination.
Check out these stylish ladies playing it safe while they receive a call and text while biking.

Hawaiian Theme Enlivens NNHW 2014
Tom Burke
"Living the Aloha Spirit" is the theme for
National Nursing Home Week
(NNHW), May 11-17, 2014. To Hawaiians, the word "aloha" has a deeper significance than as just a word of greeting or fond farewell. By Living the Aloha Spirit, we show others love and respect and joyfully share life in order to create a better world. Key attributes of the "Aloha Spirit" include patience, kindness, humility and good feelings in caring about others. Embracing the Aloha Spirit will reflect how your skilled nursing care center practices "aloha" as a means to provide a harmonious environment for residents, patients, families, staff and any person who interacts with the long term and post-acute care community.

James Robinson (runner)
Personal information | |||||||||||||
Born | August 27, 1954 | ||||||||||||
Medal record
James J. Robinson, Jr. (born August 27, 1954 in Oakland, California) is a former American middle distance runner. He was the dominant American 800 meters runner from the mid-1970s through the mid 1980s. He ran in the 1976 Summer Olympics in Montreal, Canada, finishing fifth in his semi-final and not making the final. He was on the ill-fated 1980 U.S. Olympic team that did not get to compete due to the 1980 Summer Olympics boycott.
His international achievements included a silver medal at the 1979 IAAF World Cup and 1981 IAAF World Cup and a gold medal at the 1979 Pan American Games over the reigning Olympic Gold Medalist and (until that week) world record holder, Alberto Juantorena. He also finished fifth in the 1983 World Championships in Athletics. Domestically he won the American title at 880 yard or 800 meters 7 times including five times in a row between 1978 and 1982.[1] During that same period while Robinson was the best outdoors, he did not win a single Indoor title. The answer to this was that Robinson's strategy didn't work on the short straightaways indoors.
Robinson's notable strategy was to come from behind, with the late rush on the home stretch always thrilling the crowd. When this strategy evaded him, it almost always looked like a mere strategic error, rather than being beaten by the competition. In the 1984 Olympic Trials in what may have been the most thrilling American 800 meter race ever, Robinson finished in fourth place, not making the team, while having exactly the same time as the third place qualifier John Marshall (1:43.92 - a lifetime best for both men). A step ahead, Earl Jones and Johnny Gray were breaking Rick Wohlhuter's American record (1:43.91) with each running the same time (1:43.74).[2] See the race on YouTube Robinson ran for the Inner City Track Club after college.
Robinson ran for McClymonds High School, finishing second in the 880 yards at the 1972 CIF California State Meet.[3] Next he ran for Laney College, winning the conference and state championships at 880 yards both 1973 and 1974, his 1974 time of 1:45.7 set the National Junior College record for 800 meters and remains the Laney College record. His 47.5 440 yards from 1974 also remains the college record. He also anchored his team's mile relay which finished second and third those respective years.[4] And he ran for the University of California at Berkeley, California where he is still #2 on the school's all-time list and the anchor man of the school record 4x400 meters relay team (held since 1976, the first year the NCAA ran the metric distance).[5]
Robinson is currently an assistant Track and Cross Country coach at California State University, East Bay.[6]

In what has become a nightmare season for the Yankees, they received somewhat good news yesterday regarding Michael Pineda – who was pulled during a rehab start over the weekend with shoulder tightness.
Tests came back negative and no structural damage was found in the 24-year-old's surgically repaired right shoulder. For now, he will be shut down for about a week to 10 days just to be careful.
Pineda has been recovering for the last year after undergoing surgery on a torn labrum in his right shoulder. After successfully completing a rehab assignment in July without any setbacks, he was optioned to Triple-A Scranton for more refinement. The Yankees have been limiting his innings, still trying to be careful with their future investment. A timetable has not been set for his Bronx debut.
Michael Pineda came through his tests clean. He'll be shut down for seven to 10 days.

2014-2015 Campaign: Street of Dreams
Their Story:
Street of Dreams is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to providing educational and creative support to teen mothers in urban San Diego who are at the highest risk of going to prison due to the generational effects of drug addiction, alcoholism and poverty.
Street of Dreams is a college bridge program for kids who are wards of the court and in the Juvenile Justice System. It is student driven and provides them the capability to integrate back into society through their participation. Operational since 1998, we have partnered with the San Diego County Office of Education and San Diego City College to serve the students of the Juvenile Court and Community Schools.
Why Them?:
Out of the 20 non-profits that applied, we narrowed it down to our top 3 which we felt Ad 2 San Diego could have the largest influence. After visiting the Lindsey School, where Street of Dreams resides, we could see the amazing impact their spoken word project has on their students. Street of Dreams has a 100% high school graduation rate and all their students are accepted into college. Their goal is for 100% of their students to graduate college.
Ad 2 San Diego is currently working with Street of Dreams to define their needs and goals. Their main goals are to raise funds through the sales of their spoken word book (a book of poems) and spoken word annual event. The money raised will help fund the school as well as helping to ensure that as many street of dreams students as possible complete college.
We are excited to grow our partnership with Street of Dreams and create an excellent campaign this year. If you are interested in being part of the team developing the campaign, please email: email@example.com
2013-2014 Campaign: San Diego Youth Services
In 2012-13, Ad 2 San Diego selected San Diego Youth Services (SDYS), a San Diego non-profit organization whose mission is to help at-risk youth and their families become self-sufficient and reach their highest potential.
San Diego Youth Services provides intensive services to more than 13,000 children and their families each year including emergency services, safe places to live and long-term solutions for kids "on their own" by providing shelters, group homes, foster homes, community centers and transitional housing.
Ad 2 San Diego worked with SDYS to define their needs and goals. SDYS, having a very good grasp on their strengths and opportunities, along with Ad 2 San Diego professionals decided that public awareness within the San Diego community was their biggest need and opportunity. SDYS specifically wanted to educate and create awareness among the San Diego middle and upper class, as they are well known amongst those who need their services, however they do not have that same level of awareness among the most critical demographic to their fundraising.
Ad 2 San Diego marketing and design professionals worked with SDYS to define their messaging and potential methods of distribution of that message. CBS Outdoor was gracious enough to provide billboard space around San Diego at no cost! Ad 2 San Diego designers created and iterated the 2 unique billboards with the SDYS team and Ad 2 San Diego covered the printing cost of the billboards.
The billboards were posted in several locations around San Diego, creating awareness among the critical demographic by putting the billboards, with their carefully crafted messaging, along key work commute routes.
Ad 2 San Diego is honored to have worked with San Diego Youth Services to help improve community awareness. SDYS gives back so much to our community that we were happy to be able to give something back to them.
We wish San Diego Youth Services continued success and a huge thank you for all that they do for San Diego.

A forum for users of any of my texts but really for anyone interested in interpersonal communication, the fundamentals of human communication, and public speaking.
Today in 1891 Henry Miller, author best known for his explicit treatment of sexual relationships (Tropic of Cancer, Tropic of Capricorn, Sexus, Plexus, and Nexus, is born. And today in 1932 Radio City Musical Hall, one of the great Art Deco theatres of the world, opens.
Today, in 1906, the first full-length motion picture, The Story of the Kelly Gang, premiers in Melbourne, Australia.
Today in 1906, Reginald Aubrey Fessenden presented the first radio broadcast.
And today, in 1822, Clement Moore composed his "A Visit from St. Nicholas"--more popularly known as The Night Before Christmas.
And today, in 1822, Clement Moore composed his "A Visit from St. Nicholas"--more popularly known as The Night Before Christmas.
An article in today's New York Times reports that at least 12 educators were involved in helping students cheat on their science laboratory reports. The chancellor's office, says the Times, called the actions "unacceptable" and was trying to determine appropriate disciplinary measures. Has Chancellor Klein never heard the words "you're fired"? My guess is that absolutely nothing will happen to these educators; they'll be back in the classrooms and administrative offices with hardly a slapped wrist. It makes you wonder if teaching ethics in public speaking and other communication courses isn't coming a bit late in the education of Quintilian's orator-citizen.
Pubic Speaking Idea
In the middle of this feud between Rosie and the Donald, I thought it might be interesting in a public speaking course or even in an argumentation course, to analyze this "debate". It might prove a useful break from all the serious topics all are dealing with.
Today, in 1989 famed dramatist Samuel Beckett died in Paris. And in 2000 Madonna and Guy Ritchie were married in Scotland.
Today, Benjamin Disraeli, author, statesman, and Prime Minister of Great Britain, is born in 1804.
Today, in 1953, Robert Andrews Millikan, Nobel prize winning physicist for his contributions to the study of electornics and the photoelectric effect, dies.
Today, in 1856, Sir Joseph J. Thomson, Nobel prize winner who discovered the electron which made possible 20th century advances in electronic communications, is born.
Today, in 1903, Wilbur and Orville Wright each piloted the first heavier than air machine; Wilbur lasted in the air for 57 seconds and traveled 852 feet. And then came ear phones and movies and CD players (in planes and in cars and in buses) and destroyed some great opportunities for interpersonal communication.
Today, in 1791 the Bill of Rights, the first 10 amendments to the Constitution, was adopted. The first amendment guaranteed freedom of religion, speech, and press among other rights.
And today, in 1875, the first advertisment for female typists appeared in The Nation--prior to this time typists were all men.
And today, in 1875, the first advertisment for female typists appeared in The Nation--prior to this time typists were all men.
Nonverbal Communication
An interesting take on nonverbal communication that's likely to spark some good interaction in the classroom.
Today, in 1819 Daniel Webster (1782-1852), one of the great orators in American history, delivers his argument in the Dartmouth College Case, one of his most famous speeches. Webster also attended Dartmouth as a student where he took a class in declamation (aka pubic speaking).
There are lots of articles on the dos and don'ts of e-mail but this one, I think, is especially to the point.
Communication Apprehension
An interesting complement to our texts' discussions of communication apprehension.
I Worry
I worry. A small article in the NYTimes (12/9/06, p. B8) notes that Thomas Nelson Publishers will now require that authors must agree with the Nicene Creed and Philippians 4:8. Is this a test for a well-written book? For a book that should or should not be published? To my mind, this makes Thomas Nelson, not a publisher, but a public relations press.
Today in 1745 John Jay, one of the founders of the country, was born. And in 1939, Douglas Fairbanks died. And, for you Pennsylvanians, today, in 1787, Pennsylvania ratified the Constitution.
Here's some advice on group interviewing, something that is definitely on the increase and yet receives little attention in our interviewing books.
Today, in 1936, King Edward VIII of England delivered his famous speech, giving up the British crown for "the woman I love" (Wallace Simpson). This "all for love" speech is surely one of the most famous of all speeches. Of course, it helped that Edward had Winston Churchill help out with the speech.
Today in 1971 Ralph Bunche, powerful speaker, winner of the 1950 Nobel Peace Prize dies in New York City.
Nonverbal Communication
An interesting take on nonverbal communication that should appeal to business oriented students.
Today, in 1941, Franklin Delano Roosevelt delivers his declaration of war against Japan spech to a joint session of Congress.
New NCA Publication
Here is a new website and publication from NCA. It looks like exactly what was needed--brief summaries of NCA journal articles for the general public. Take a look.
Today, in 1928 Noam Chomsky was born. Chomsky, now perhaps known more for his political writings, revolutionized the field of linguistics by defining it as a branch of cognitive psychology and developing the theory of generative transformational grammar. From this psycholingujisics was born. Chomsky gave linguistic study a mind!
Today, in 1823, Max Muller, German philologist, world famous linguist, and some would say the founder of the study of comparative religion, is born. Muller died in 1900.
Today, in 1890 in Vienna, Fritz Lang is born. Lang is most noted as a director (Dr. Mabuse, M) but was also a writer, producer, and actor. Lang died August 2, 1976.
Today in 1906 Peter Goldmark, inventor of the long playing phonograph record (1948) and the first color television system used in commercial broadcasts, is born in Budapest.
Today, in 1903, The Great Train Robbery, generally credited with being the first film to tell a story and the first western, is copyrighted.

Before Percy Jackson was...Nature Boy!
...the early Silver Age teen hero with amazing powers granted by the ancient Gods!
If this story from Charlton's Nature Boy #5 (1957) has the "feel" of some of the wackier Superman Family stories of the Silver Age, there's a very good reason!It was written by Superman co-creator Jerry Siegel!
The dynamic art was by John Buscema, shortly before his return to Marvel Comics, where his renderings became the "house" art style for over 20 years!

The typical asking rate per listing is in the $0's per square foot per year. The Westwood submarket is seeing a decline in rates. In the last 3 months, the median rate decreased $15 per sqft per year. That's a 100% decrease in rent.
In the last 90 days, 0 listings have come on the market, which means new listings most likley are going fast. You'll want to be prepared to tour spaces as quick as possible. About NaN% of the available space in the Westwood are subleases, so you will probably need to consider the implications of signing a direct lease with the building. There aren't many listings below 2,000 square feet posted, so finding a space for a small business might be tough.
The standard measurement for office space in this area is around sqft. Most properties in this area are close to 1 floors. Most buildings in this area were built in 1965 and are Class B.
Not much of the real estate is used for commercial space, so it might be hard to find office space. Health care is the dominant industry in this area. Most of the residents of Westwood work from home. Commuting more than an hour and a half a day is the norm for those who opt to reside in this part of town.

I've paraglided from the second highest point in the world.
That said, I did once crash a ball and have the cheek to get on the coach home.
I graduated with a degree in Criminology and Sociology from the University of Stirling and joined QueryClick shortly after.
In my role, I've been working with a range of potential clients and showing them how we can help improve their online sales. More recently I've been working with the team to pull together client case studies which allows me to go back to our clients and show them how we've achieved what we set out to do and more. And, of course, I'm responsible for moaning about Alex's taste in music.
Outside the office I enjoy socialising, shopping, and dancing like Beyonce in Livingston's finest nightclubs.

Some of our finest leaders, thinkers and inventors have received Nobel prizes. The prizes are mainly about prestige, but the money that comes with it is certainly nice.
But with the economy slumping worldwide, the Nobel society is cutting prize money by 20 percent the BBC reports.
Cost has overtaken revenue at The Nobel Foundation and the economic crisis is to blame.
The Stockholm-based foundation is still giving out $1.1 million prizes to winners, but the foundation's bottom line is forcing some austerity measures.
Winners get a diploma and a medal along with the cash prize.

The Lord hath prepared his throne in the heavens; and his kingdom ruleth over all (Ps. 103:19).
Some time since, in the early spring, I was going out at my door when round the corner came a blast of east wind--defiant and pitiless, fierce and withering--sending a cloud of dust before it. I was just taking the latchkey from the door as I said, half impatiently, "I wish the wind would"--I was going to say change; but the word was checked, and the sentence was never finished.
As I went on my way, the incident became a parable to me. There came an angel holding out a key; and he said: "My Master sends thee His love, and bids me give you this." "What is it?" I asked, wondering. "The key of the winds," said the angel, and disappeared.
Now indeed should I be happy. I hurried away up into the heights whence the winds came, and stood amongst the caves. "I will have done with the east wind at any rate--and that shall plague us no more," I cried; and calling in that friendless wind, I closed the door, and heard the echoes ringing in the hollow places. I turned the key triumphantly. "There," I said, now we have done with that."
"What shall I choose in its place?" I asked myself, looking about me. "The south wind is pleasant"; and I thought of the lambs, and the young life on every hand, and the flowers that had begun to deck the hedgerows. But as I set the key within the door, it began to burn my hand. "What am I doing?" I cried; "who knows what mischief I may bring about? How do I know what the fields want! Ten thousand things of ill may come of this foolish wish of mine."
Bewildered and ashamed, I looked up and prayed that the Lord would send His angel yet again to take the key; and for my part I promised that I would never want to have it any more. But lo, the Lord Himself stood by me. He reached His hand to take the key; and as I laid it down, I saw that it rested against the sacred wound-print.
It hurt me indeed that I could ever have murmured against anything wrought by Him who bare such sacred tokens of His love. Then He took the key and hung it on His girdle. "Dost THOU keep the key of the winds?" I asked. "I do, my child," He answered graciously. And lo, I looked again and there hung all the keys of all my life. He saw my look of amazement, and asked, "Didst thou not know, my child, that my kingdom ruleth over all?"
"Over all, my Lord!" I answered; "then it is not safe for me to murmur at anything?" Then did He lay His hand upon me tenderly. "My child," He said, "thy only safety is, in everything, to love and trust and praise."
