During the ten years that the commentary was on-line, we received hundreds of questions, comments, and requests for clarification from students and faculty members all over the world (from Latin America to Africa to the Australian outback to almost every state in the U.S.). We also got a fair amount of praise from people who said that the commentary helped them to get through the text with far fewer tears than they might otherwise have had.
Two years ago I took down the Sophia Project in order to create SophiaOmni, a publishing company founded upon distributivist economic principles. Our commentary on the Republic came down with it, but Steve and I promised that we would rework what we had written and publish it through the newly established press. That work has finally been done.
The text of Plato's Republic, along with our section-by-section commentary, will be used for the first time in a college classroom this fall. I can't promise that all the students in the class will be delighted about having to read Plato, but I know damn well that they'll be far better human beings for having struggled to make sense of the greatest ideas conceived by the greatest philosopher the world has ever known!
And that's got to count for something, doesn't it?
THE REPUBLIC is universally regarded as one of the most important works of philosophy ever written. The text was written by Plato at the height of his literary and intellectual powers and treats subjects as diverse as politics, aesthetics, ethics, metaphysics, epistemology, human psychology, family life, the role of women in society, educational theory, leadership, and warfare. Some would say that the text is as relevant today as it was in the fifth century B.C. when it was written, providing a unique window into our own political and social lives in the 21st century.SophiaOmni's study guide to THE REPUBLIC is unique in that it has been designed for the philosophical novice in mind. Assuming no prior knowledge of the discipline of philosophy or Plato's thought, this edition provides the reader with the tools he or she needs to read Plato's work profitably. Each section of the text has been divided topically and provided with clear commentary aimed at illuminating the major themes of the text and their philosophical significance. References at the end of each section of the text provide resources for those seeking to delve further into any of the ideas presented in THE REPUBLIC.
Stephan T. Mayo and Michael S. Russo are Professors of Philosophy at Molloy College in New York.
Great ideas endure forever. SophiaOmni Wisdom Classics Editions are perennial works written by some of the world's most provocative, iconoclastic thinkers, whose ideas continue to inspire and enlighten in our own age. Each edition has been carefully edited and introduced by experts in the fields of philosophy, religion, or ethics to provide a helping hand to those who might otherwise be intimidated by the thought of reading great works from the past and set them on their way to a lifelong love affair with the pursuit of wisdom.

It ain't easy being 17 inches tall! Daily life is a challenge when most things rest far above you. Sure I have a great sense of smell, but sometimes I like to see what I'm smelling too. Since we moved into our new home and have finished adjusting, I can say that there is one glaring problem with this place……I can't see out of a single window!!! Every single window in this place is so high up there that even if I sit on the very back of the sofa I can only see the very tops of trees and a bit of sky.
My Mom, Maggie, decided to resolve the problem and built me my very own doggy viewing deck! She added some safety railings, a plush blankie and a mile long carpeted ramp. I can now see the whole neighborhood and get some fresh air when she opens the window!
The ramp was a very tricky thing to master, but with Mom offering cheese along the whole way I managed.

Reblogged from http://GirlDidYouSee.blogspot.com
BET's newest original comedy, Reed Between The Lines debuted last night and we Skyped about it minutes after the second episode ended. We, like many of the folks in the audience, grew up on The Cosby Show and are huge fans of Girlfriends and Tracee Ellis Ross. We share our reaction to the premiere of this largely entertaining and good quality show. We are both hopeful that the show will only get better with time. Families should DVR the show (it came on kinda late) and watch it together. Great characters and a very special cast.

― Chinua Achebe, Things Fall Apart
" Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;"-William Butler Yeats, The Second Coming
"You can't make an omelet without breaking eggs."
" Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;"-William Butler Yeats, The Second Coming
"You can't make an omelet without breaking eggs."
Did anyone watch the Obama/Romney debate last night? None of my close friends did, probably because they already are among the "decided". See the complete video and read the transcript Here.
If you watched, and if you are as obsessed with autism as I am, then you immediately noticed the President's reference to Medicaid and families with autism.
As I indicated before, when you talk about shifting Medicaid to states, we're talking about potentially a — a 30 — a 30 percent cut in Medicaid over time. Now, you know, that may not seem like a big deal when it just is — you know, numbers on a sheet of paper, but if we're talking about a family who's got an autistic kid and is depending on that Medicaid, that's a big problem. And governors are creative. There's no doubt about it. But they're not creative enough to make up for 30 percent of revenue on something like Medicaid. What ends up happening is some people end up not getting help.
If you are anything like me, you probably did not know that the majority of expenses for the long-term care of the disabled comes from Medicaid.
You probably thought Medicaid was just health insurance for the poor.
Perhaps you thought wealthy states, such as Massachusetts, paid for the care of disabled citizens because of high moral values and a commitment to caring for the most unfortunate of unfortunates.
Medicaid, (Mass Health in Massachusetts), pays for health care for the poor and treatment of autism for children certainly comes under that heading.
For my adult autistic daughter, over 60% of the cost of her day program is funded by Medicaid. Her home is paid for by a combination of Medicaid and her SSI (Supplemental Security Income) check.
Decades ago now, the Medicaid Waiver was instituted to encourage the movement of disabled individuals out of institutions and nursing homes into more inclusive residential settings in the community. This allows for my daughter and others like her to live in group homes instead of outmoded and often cruel state hospitals.
In other states, movement away from institutionalization has been slow. This story here from the NY Times narrates the transition for one man in Georgia. In Massachusetts where we live a few families have resisted moving their children and they remain in the institution where they have lived most of their lives, at great expense to the commonwealth.
Even in Massachusetts there are yearly budget battles where well-meaning legislators and the governor try to parse out dwindling funds in the most humane way possible. Direct care staff did not receive pay increases over many years and family support services to those individuals who stay in their homes are continually under attack.
Imagine a scenario where each state is entirely allowed to decide what to do with all of the money. As it is, the dollars do not go far enough and states move money around creatively to fill their own needs. Who do you think is usually on the bottom of the pile, mostly unable to speak for themselves?
Would some states choose to fund only home care? How many more hurdles would they put in place for desperate families to stumble over? Would some leave the majority of the financial burden to "faith-based" charitable organizations?
I have never understood why in some people's minds it is ok to let some Americans be more equal than others. Why shouldn't the intellectually disabled adults in Georgia or Maine have the same opportunities as they would in Massachusetts? Why have a United States if you don't want to share?
Last month I had the pleasure of attending the symbolic ceremony marking the Penobscot River Restoration Project, the destruction and removal of the Great Works Dam in Old Town, Maine. Now this dam has been breached and those of you who enjoy watching large machines destroy things can watch here.
I grew up near the Penobscot River and back then, in the 1950's and 60's, rivers in Maine were barely alive. The Penobscot never froze over in those winter days and did not support fish life. The salmon and sturgeon, the alewives and striped bass, declined almost to the point of extinction.
Over a decade ago, conservation groups, the Penobscot Indian Nation, communities and governments came together and participated in a collaborative effort to restore the health of this river. The water quality had already improved, thanks to clean water laws initially proposed and enacted by legislation begun in the 60's by the state legislature, including my mother, who was a representative from Orono, Maine.
Now, the goals of these collaborating groups are being realized in the form of actual removal of dams and the building of modern fish diverters and elevators around the dams that will remain. Over one thousand miles of water will be reclaimed by nature; hopefully, returning salmon and alewives will find it a healthy home to spawn and reproduce.
Restoring the health of the river will contribute in many ways to restoring the health of those who live work and play on it, including the Native people, those who fish in the river, in saltwater bays and in the Gulf of Maine, and visitors from away. More fish contributes to more fish, therefore more fishing. Sometimes things are just that simple.
I cannot help but see this as a metaphor for life today and for my efforts to build a new life for my daughter and her peers. We must persevere in the face of entrenched and antiquated ideas about what is possible, collaborating with others even when the groups seem to have opposing priorities. Old and crumbling obstacles must be removed and the natural way restored so that our children, our most fragile and vulnerable resource, be allowed to flourish in a dangerously damaged environment.
Listening to the speeches by the dignitaries at the ceremony, I heard many words matching the phrases I heard at the planning day for autism programs at the agency I have been working with:
As disability advocates, we have much to learn from this example in the conservation community.
My mother would be proud that people working together could achieve so much for this Penobscot River, for Maine and for the health of the environment. I hope that other groups of people can collaborate to achieve their individual goals in a similar manner.
I plan to keep this milestone achievement in my mind as inspiration as I work to move my "Restoration" project forward in the next years: my "Peaceful Revolution".
The declaration of independence inserts itself into all things today, so why not bring it up again here (for a transcript).
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.
I believe these rights to refer to ALL people, inclusive of race, religion, gender, abilities or dis-abilities.
The first part, that often gets left out when people try to quote from their grade-school memory banks, contains one of my favorite phrases:
When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.
"Laws of Nature and of Nature's God".
Note that this does not say "Christian" god, or "Jesus", or refer in any way to the bible, new or old testament. Although the "Founders" of our nation came from a christian tradition, their writings did not refer to christianity above all other religions.
The "laws of nature": sounds a bit like science to me.
"Nature's God": could be any god at all, including pagan.
Our forefathers came to these shores to remove themselves from a society that was rigid and stultified. They were often persecuted and their lives were in danger because of their beliefs or lack of beliefs. Like the immigrants that came later, they were fleeing to a new land of Freedom and Liberty.
There were some initial attempts at recreating England here in the colonies. Religious liberty was curtailed in Boston forcing free thinkers like Roger Williams to move on to Rhode Island to start again. By the time of the Revolution, thirteen colonies existed with separate laws and currencies, and, separate religious affiliations, and yet, a common goal: to be free of the old ways and move on.
So I say: "Revolt!" Leave the old ways, the old thinking, and move forward. The time for revolution is now! Join your compatriots in making a place for everyone in this new century. The old laws that discriminate against race and gender, that prohibit, that protect hate, that keep society divided, that breed fear and distrust; those old ways of living and thinking are behind us and we will move forward into century that aspires to fairness and freedom for all of our members.
By the way, in case you are thinking I belong with the idealists and dreamers, those who romanticize "revolution" in all it's forms. I am fully aware that no revolutions have solved all the problems that they were meant to, even ours.
I leave soon for Russia, to visit the place where my husband has worked for twenty plus years (while I have been caring for our lovely Lily). Certainly the Russian people's attempt at change via revolution has not been as successful as they had planned, nor has their re-entry into global capitalism been smooth.
Americans forget that we revolted at a time when Europe was in turmoil and the age of enlightenment encouraged many philosophers and intellectuals to reconsider how nations could be organized to better allow the rights of all peoples. Even Catherine the Great, Empress of all the Russias at the time, was a devotee of these new ideas. She could not find a way to bring her country out of slavery and serfdom in her life time and it took a violent and bloody revolution, like that of France and over a hundred years later, to finally free the serfs.
So I am not advocating bloody revolution and Molotov cocktails,
But people, think about it. What is wrong with letting people live their own lives in peace?
So here's to a peaceful revolution in our time…
We will search for a new way to move forward towards a more just world here in the great USA.
It has been difficult to find families who want to work on a new revolutionary way to provide a full life for their adult children with autism, perhaps because we have been looking for adults that are just beginning the transition process. The children are still in school and the parents are satisfied with what they are doing and receiving for services; having worked to get it right, they are making progress and perhaps even seeing the positive changes that can come with maturity and stability.
The nightmare experience of seeing all that progress disappear into the maw that is adult services has not yet occurred.
Last week I attended an invigorating "brainstorming" session about planning the future of the autism programming for the new agency that I am working with for Lily's new life. I was amazed to be invited and even more astounded that "Families" was the first on everyone's list of values. So often in my three and a half-year experience with the adult system the parents are ignored or "yessed" in meetings. The attitude is one of "us" and "them". How refreshing and encouraging to meet this very sincere group that I hope soon to be an even more active member of.
Today, looking out over the shining blue of the bay with the puffy clouds and the dappled sand, I wonder whether the first English, French and Viking settlers to these shores thought about the physical beauty surrounding them as they pulled in their nets and laid out the fish to dry in the sun.
Were they too busy working to survive to be awestruck by the colors of the sunrise after so many days of rain and fog?
Did the wildflowers blowing in the breeze ease the ache of their backs as they gathered wood for the winter and plowed and seeded the garden?
Here in the Northeastern United States, with long, cold winters of bleak landscape and hungry wildlife, we treasure the few short weeks of spring and summer, hoarding days spent fishing, gardening, hiking and sailing, or perhaps simply sitting on a rock, gazing out at the beauty.
We know what man has done to nature as well; we have the contrast of the cities and industrial pollution versus the sea, woods and farms and appreciate all the more what we still have seeing it next to the examples of destruction.
The First People, or Native Americans or Indians or whatever you wish to call them in your culture, appreciated the sustaining value of the natural world around them and protecting it has prominence in their religions and way of life. They knew this truth without need to compare with the absence of nature; it puzzles me sometimes why we seem to need to miss something after it is already gone.
Missing our school experience that treated our daughter as a whole person, and having the experience of seeing her regress under a program that sees her as flawed and broken, to be managed like unwanted refuse, we have become acutely aware of the destruction around us and wish to reclaim and rebuild her world to more closely resemble what we had before.
We will build a new world based on the rights that Americans hold to be self-evident, a revolutionary new world, dedicated to the rights of ALL people to happiness and freedom.
Perhaps we need to look for our families amongst those who have seen the future, instead of those who are have not yet experienced the destruction.
If happiness is the key to life, and that is what we all want from life, how do we design a support system for adults with severe autism that encourages happiness?
First we have to find out what makes an individual person happy.
To do that, the person must have a means of communicating to others what makes them happy.
That is the first goal, to encourage and respect the communication of those that we care for.
Behavior is communication. We must try to see past the unpleasant behavior to what is being communicated by the behavior. Medications mask the behavior and silence communication; that is disrespectful of the attempts of the person to communicate their needs and opinions.
If an adult with severe autism has no reliable means of communication we must help them find ways that work for them or we are not doing our jobs.
Happiness is an "unalienable right" according to the US Declaration of Independence. I think it is time that this right is applied to those of our citizens with intellectual and developmental disabilities.
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.
When I was just a little girl
I asked my mother, what will I be
Will I be pretty, will I be rich
Here's what she said to me.
Que Sera, Sera,
Whatever will be, will be
The future's not ours, to see
Que Sera, Sera
What will be, will be.
On NPR yesterday, Terry Gross on Fresh Air was interviewing Doris Day about this song, saying that she, Terry, had always disliked the song and that she had heard that Doris had hated it also.
My mother used to sing this song to me when I was a small child, around the same time that it was a hit song, in the 1950's. I loved having my mother sing to me and never thought about the lyrics until I was a teenager and became more socially aware. Then, in the activist 1960's, "what will be will be" just did not cut it with me.
When my own daughter was small I sang to her, too. The songs that my mother sang came into my head almost automatically. When we received the autism diagnosis, I revisited this song as a way of accepting things as they were, of letting go of my dreams of the perfect little girl and the perfect little life.
Gradually I rejected this song again, in favor of "You are my sunshine" and other more uplifting tunes. (Lily sometimes puts her finger over my mouth to get me to stop singing; my voice is not the best.)
We are now being told that 1 in 88 children will be diagnosed with an Autism Spectrum Disorder by the age of 8.
That is 1 in 54 boys.
That is 1 in 252 girls.
"What will be will be" cannot be our theme song. What should our song be?

I'm currently drafting two new ultra large-scale systems blog posts, with one in particular being almost ready to go. While writing more on one of them today, a very cool thing happened: I received an email from the ULS systems team at the Software Engineering Institute of Carnegie Mellon University letting me know that they've got a new ULS blog site up. You can check it out here:
Be sure to read all the articles and go back often! As you can imagine, I'll be spending a lot of time there :-) I have a feeling this is the beginning of an emerging ULS community...
As for my forthcoming ULS systems blog posts, one concerns SOA and the other discusses currently extant code bases in the Python and Twisted Python communities that can be used for building ultra large-scale systems (or prototypes thereof) quickly and efficiently.

Israel's White Phosphorous in Gaza
The last I heard from Israel was denying using white phosphorous bombs on Gaza. These disgusting weapons (aren't they all) burn with great intensity and can only be put out by covering them and keeping them covered with sand. Should a piece of this substance strike a human being it will stick on and burn right through to the bones. These bombs are intended to provide smoke screens on the battlefield and are illegal to use against civilians. A question was asked in the Commons yesterday about mine clearance in Gazaen schools and the Minister confirmed a report by MAG that white phosphorous bomb parts had been removed. Q.E.D.
Colin Breed (South East Cornwall, Liberal Democrat) | Hansard source
To ask the Secretary of State for International Development what recent reports he has received from the Mines Advisory Group on the types of unexploded ordinance it has removed from schools in Gaza.
Douglas Alexander (Secretary of State, Department for International Development; Paisley & Renfrewshire South, Labour) | Hansard source
There are 157 UNICEF-supported schools in Gaza, and work with the Palestinian Ministry of Education identified 40 as high risk in terms of potential unexploded ordnance (UXO) contamination. These schools have been visited by technicians from the Mines Advisory Group (MAG). During this clearance 40mm high explosive grenades, as well as 81mm and 120mm high explosive mortars, were removed. Remnants of exploded ordnance were also taken away, including parts of Hell Fire missiles and 155mm high explosive and white phosphorous artillery shells.

The worldwide supply of potable fresh water is ever decreasing. While 2.5% of Earth's water is fresh, only 1% is accessible. Of this water, the World Health Organization estimates that only one-third can be used to meet our daily needs while the other two-thirds are unusable due to contamination. As the world population continues to grow and climate change reduces water security, we must consider not only solutions, but evaluate the perceptions and reactions of individuals in order to successfully implement such solutions.

Chlorophyl is important for your plant to use, but it is gross to smoke! We luckily can get rid of chlorophyl a few different ways which will produce higher quality weed for us. No point smoking something that doesn't get you high! Here are a few tips:
- UV rays destroy chlorophyl and cannabinoids at a much slower rate. Use this on your final extracts if their is a green hint. Three hours of sun will turn it amber.
- Mix salt into the water which will increase the pH and make the chlorophyl soluble in water.
- Chlorophyl is highly soluble in water and butane, but not water.
- Non polar solvents like butane and hexane also extract unwanted fats, lipids and non-polar waxes.
- The couple days right before you harvest, do not give your plant extra nutrients; only water which will push most everything out.
- Properly cure and dry your plant after harvest.
When you are curing your marijuana, it may smell like fresh cut grass. This process is simply to filter unwanted chlorophyl from buds immediately after drying. Uncured bud is very harsh on the lungs and tastes terrible, but here is how you can cure that.
- Trim large fan leaves ad hang them upside down in cool, ventilated area.
- Allow to dry until you can snap stems in half.
- Manicure bud leaving trim, stem and fan leaves to the side.
- Place buds removed from stems in glass mason jar.
- Store for 48 hours in dark place.
- Jars should now smell like cut grass, now led the buds completely dry
- Re lid jar and wait a few days to smell test.
- If the grass smell is gone, you are done. If you still smell it, keep repeating.
The cut grass smell is actually ammonia, a byproduct of chlorophyl decomposition. Naturally in the air are tiny microbes floating around that decompose all organic matter, especially plants. With the buds sealed in a jar, they can not escape them and the process is accelerated. If water collects on the sides of the jars, wipe it away.
Chlorophyll is mostly insoluble in water.The head is polar while the tail is water fearing! It has a magnesium ring center making it water loving, though the ring itself is water fearing. Then, the carbonyl groups near the tail make it polar and hydrophilic (water loving). It is held in place by a water soluble chlorophyll binging material known as WSCP or water soluble chlorophyll binding. Chlorophyll is an intra membrane within thylakoid which is a membrane bound compartment inside chloroplasts. Higher plants thylakoid membranes are composed of phospholipids and galactolipids that are asymmetrically arranged across the membranes. Both of these have water loving heads with water fearing tails.
Proteins and other organic molecules have the assistance of charged ions like phosphate and sodium to form micelles which are balls of hydrophobic molecules surrounded with a charged ion. Chlorophyl is only able to form two complexes with other molecules to stay in solution at a pH level of 7.4, though its natural environment is around 4. If membranes were broken by a detergent or enzymes, the only way to exclude chlorophyll from a non polar solvent or alcohol would be with lots of sodium and water. Chlorophyll is actively ready to dissolve into alcohol once it becomes exposed.

It took me a while to realize I was living with a saint. Eleven years, to be exact.
For some time, my daughter Teresa, who has Down syndrome, was in need of some extra prodding to go to Mass. I spent a great deal of time pointing out all the perks. In such a vibrant parish as ours, every week seems to offer some kind of incentive:
"Ice cream social after Mass today! There's pink ice cream!
"You'll get see your friends! You can play with them after Mass!"
"Today's the pancake breakfast! You know how much you love the Knights of Columbus' pancakes and Sunny D!"
"We'll go get pizza after Church! Yes, pizza with CHEESE!"
Lots of exclamation points here, which I normally avoid using, since they usually indicate a fair amount of phony hype. I think my 11-year-old Teresa might have been on to that. All the things that used to motivate suddenly held no appeal to her. No matter how fun I tried to make church seem, I still, more often than not, heard those dreaded words, which never fail to break a mother's heart: "No Mass, Mommy."
One day, I decided to go at it in a different way. I didn't expect her to understand what I was about to propose to her, but I decided to give it a shot anyway. Maybe over time, it would sink in. Maybe if I said it every week for a year. Maybe every week for ten years. However long it took, it would be worth the wait because it was, at its heart, the truest statement I could make about the Mass.
"Teresa," I said, stooping down and looking into her eyes, "do you want to make Jesus happy?"
"Yeah," she said.
"That's why we go to Mass. To make Jesus happy."
"Oh," she said. "OK."
She cheerfully got herself up off the floor and into the car, as all the kids piled in alongside her, and off we all went. I was thinking, "Is this really working? Could she really have understood this?"
After Mass, she sat with a smile on her face in the pew and pulled me over to whisper in my ear. I thought I was going to hear the usual question about going for pizza. But she had something else on her mind.
"Jesus happy?" she asked, pointing at the crucifix behind the altar.
"Yes," I smiled. "Jesus is very happy."
For a number of weeks after that, when I told her it was time for Mass, instead of complaints, I heard this question: "Jesus happy?"
It seems Teresa knows what the saints know. Anything we do in life, done for any other reason but to make Jesus happy, only brings us fleeting happiness. As nice as it is to enjoy pink ice cream, the Knights' pancakes, cheese pizza and a fun time with friends, nothing can compare to putting a smile on the face of the One we love above all else.

See contest for details.
I always face the same problem at El Gaucho. No, not which steak to
choose, or what size. Certainly not how the taters should be cooked.
It's the damn salad.
At a meat-eater's paradise like this, veggies are almost an affront. No one goes to El Gaucho for the lettuce. But you get this bowl of healthy plant life, and you're starving (because that's how you prepare for a meal like this), and maybe even a tad guilty (you KNOW the stuff is good for you). And perhaps you're like me, hating the thought of food being thrown away.
You can't resist the country-style bread, and the divine aroma of steaks is driving you a little nuts and you want it NOW!
But wait. Gnaw on your fingers if you have to, nibble on that salad even; you know what's coming, and you know it's worth the splendid agony of anticipation.
Fast food it's not. The waiter zips right over as soon as you arrive, but no matter how quick you say gimme500gramsofsteakNOW!, the meat will not arrive until it's good and ready. And when it does...
I have been to El Gaucho many times, and the waiter's shpiel is always perfect. I don't know where they find such helpful people. They patiently describe the entire selection, explaining everything from the aging to the marbling. At some point, everyone says pretty much the same thing: "Yeah, that's EXACTLY how I like it." (Some day I'm going to go in there and specify a steak from a brown cow with white spots, medium marbling. I'm sure I'll get it.)
I can't suggest what to order, because that's a private matter between you and your waiter. Sharon, a good-humored, handsome young fellow (I had to rein in my date, who seemed hungry for the wrong thing), talked us through the menu. Chorizo (NIS 58 for 300 grams, up to NIS 160 for a one-kilo whopper) is juicy but not fatty; the El Gaucho steak is veally good, accompanied by a vegetable brochette; filet, the cow's personal favorite cut, is very soft (NIS 68 for 180 grams up to NIS 165 for 500 grams); entrecote, the king of ribs, has a little shmaltz on it (NIS 48 for 250 grams, up to NIS 150 for a kilo); asado is for the real he-men (and, I suppose, the real he-women), a delicacy for fat meat lovers. Uh, let me rephrase that: fat-meat lovers.
There's also trout (NIS 50), hamburger (NIS 41 for 350 grams) and chicken (half a bird, NIS 39), but that would be silly, wouldn't it?
Steak, steak, steak, we decided, and that's what we got: a mixed meat offering that included chorizo, entrecote and asado.
While we were still mulling, Sharon sized me up and correctly predicted that I would not go for the mixed grill: chorizo, heart, udder, intestines, asado, chicken and liver. To me, udder is just a milk bag, and intestines is of interest only because of the word's Scrabblology: each letter in "intestines" -- e,i,n,s,t -- appears twice.
Sharon warned that steaks could take as much as 30 minutes to prepare (we got ours in 15), so we agreed to stave the hunger with a first course. I loved the empanada, a lightly-fried dough stuffed with mushroom, beef or corn; my pretty blonde companion (eat your heart out!) asked for the salchicha, a spicy but not fiery sausage. She also polished off both her salad and mine, though I deigned to eat one cherry tomato.
Before we expected it, a tasty-looking brown slab was placed in front of us. I immediately attacked it with my steak knife. However, that was just the wood plate. The meat arrived moments later, sizzling on fire-heated iron.
The mixed meat was a brilliant choice, because of the variety of succulent cuts to try. I gallantly volunteered to carve up the steaks into two equal portions. In considering the fairness of equality, I factored in the fact that she ate my salad, so naturally I got the larger half of the steaks.
We dueled over the plate of Argentinian chips (thin, round slices of potato flavored with garlic and oregano), and liberally spread the chimichuri sauce over everything. All this was washed down with an imperial Barkan Cabernet Sauvignon. It was a sophisticated yet affordable choice, but more fun would have been a soft drink, which El Gaucho serves in towering glasses about 40 cm high.
Gili, a classy young man who was our host for the evening, insisted we sample a newcomer to the menu, a ribby steak called tostilla. At this point I was afraid I would not fit into my car, but go say no. It was fabulous! Tostilla provides an added enjoyment: you eat it with your hands, gnawing the sublime beef right off the bone, grunting and groaning with primal pleasure.
There seemed no end to it, when Sharon brought up the suggestion of dessert. Oh, I couldn't, I insisted, but he proved me wrong. The crepe caramel arrived dramatically flambe, and the waiter hastily advised us to blow out the flames before eating it. The caramelized sugar, crepe, apple slices and whipped cream make for a divine dish.
Gili still wouldn't let us leave. He invited us to view El Gaucho's VIP room, a quiet medieval-style sanctuary beneath the restaurant that serves as the wine cellar. There, we sipped espresso while Gili gave us an expert tour of the bottled stock.
Hours after we arrived, my pretty blonde friend and I bid our adieus and stepped out into the night air, happily waddling hand in hand to my waiting limo. It was just as I feared. We couldn't get in.

Why Does My Car's Paint Have Swirl Marks?
Where they come from and how to fix them.
Doesn't it seem like every car on the road suffers from swirl marks? It is surprising that vehicles of all ages, even less than a year old, are covered in swirls and "spiderwebs" that are clearly visible in direct sunlight. How do they get there, and how do you repair them? We will answer both of these questions right here. Let's start with how they got there in the first place.
The main causes of swirl marks on your vehicle's paint
- Washing: A wash mitt that doesn't hold water or dirt very well tends to press the dirt against the paint and causes friction during the cleaning process, resulting in light swirl marks. Many local car washes use mitts on hundreds of vehicles a day, so while the first few cars get clean fabric on their paint, the rest get dirt and grime rubbed vigorously onto their paint leaving them damaged.
- Drying: Drying is the second biggest cause of swirl marks. In fact, washing is, in a way, the most important part of drying because if a vehicle isn't properly washed and cleaned, the drying process will surely result in quite a few swirl marks by dragging around left over dirt.
- Clay bar Application: Claying itself is an abrasive and many people don't realize that it can easily leave marring in the paint. Swirl marks are potential with clay bar decontamination if you get a piece caught between the clay bar and the paint.
- Waxing: Some waxes, typically the older carnauba paste waxes, are fairly hard to apply and especially hard to remove, requiring quite a bit of pressure during application and removal. As you can imagine, on a vehicle with softer paint it will be that much easier to create swirls with heavier wiping during wax removal.
- Car Covers: Covers work great for protecting your vehicle's exterior, but only if it is put on right after a car wash. Even a short trip in your vehicle before replacing the cover is enough to trap dust and dirt under the cover. Then, as wind rustles the cover or people brush up against it, it will cause enough friction to scratch the paint.
- Dusting: There are a few dusters that are highly recommended and work great but there are some that just drag dust around. We only recommend cleaning the car with a mitt while washing otherwise it is best to leave it be.
- Detailing Wipes: Any off the shelf product that says you can just spray and wipe your car without water and soap is not telling the full story. You just end up swirling the dirt all over the surface, permanently damaging the surface.
How do you remove those swirl marks for good?
The only way to remove swirl marks is to polish the paint. Many off the shelf products will hide the swirl marks, or attempt to fill them in, but the effect is short lived. Swirl marks are actually microscopic scratches in the clear coat, and they are visible in direct light because these scratches reflect the light differently and give off a clear pattern of the damage. To remove them, they need to be smoothed out with something mildly abrasive and polished smooth again.
If you have the time and energy, this is something you can do for yourself. There are over the counter polishes that remove fine swirl marks and they require you to clean and dry your vehicle, then apply the polishing compound with even pressure. You may need to start with a cutting compound if your swirl marks are very heavy and then finish with a polish to bring it back to a full shine.
Can you restore my paint for me?
Of course we can! Because swirl marks are so common and they tend to affect the entire vehicle, this is something that most people bring into our detail shop and have our technicians manage the problem. The only way to quickly treat a full exterior is with electric polishers, and, considering their cost, it is much more economical to bring your vehicle to the shop than to purchase the machines yourself.
One service we offer with all of our exterior details is a Cut Polish. An abrasive "cutting" polish can be used on your automotive paint work to cut through any oxidized paint and to polish out any scratches in the paintwork. For a paint job that needs a bit more love and car, you can start with an Exterior Detail to get a deep clean from years of highway driving and contamination, or a Complete Detail if your interior has the same sort of trouble. We take appointments daily and can you have your car back to you the same day looking exactly like the day you bought it.
Be in touch with any questions, we would love to hear from you.

Claremont Fan Court Preparatory School
Claremont Fan Court is a co-educational day school which offers a well-rounded education with an emphasis on the acquisition of valuable life skills and character qualities. The Prep School has 160 girls and boys aged 7-11 and is affiliated to the Independent Association of Preparatory Schools (IAPS).
Claremont Fan Court Preparatory and Nursery School is fortunate to be situated within a hundred acres of beautiful Grade One listed landscape. Whilst offering the advantages of a Preparatory School that is run and organised independently, we also have the benefit of sharing facilities and expertise with our Senior School; most children choose to transfer seamlessly on to the Senior School, taking advantage of an education through to Sixth Form.
The Pre-Preparatory and Nursery departments have their own self-contained building, where children flourish in the spacious, purpose-built classrooms, surrounded by the delights of wooded parkland. Here our youngest children have the freedom to grow and develop in a secure and healthy environment. The partnership between home and School is strong, with shared values for life taught in a supportive, caring atmosphere. An emphasis on the early acquisition of knowledge and skills in literacy and numeracy, within the context of a stimulating and creative curriculum, prepares the children well for the onward move to the Preparatory department in Year 3.
The Preparatory School is housed in the historic Stable Court and backs onto an idyllic Walled Garden, originally built by Sir John Vanbrugh in 1708. Within this heritage building, children benefit from a progressive educational philosophy that combines the best of old fashioned rigour with contemporary practice.
No two days are the same at The Preparatory School and the children arrive with a smile on their face and a skip in their step. Our dynamic curriculum offers each child the opportunity to develop their unlimited potential both in and outside the classroom. The ethos of our school promotes tolerance, respect and friendship; kindness underpins our actions and thus children love their time here, knowing that they are valued as individuals within our tight knit community.
From the earliest days in Nursery, through to Year 6 and the move on to the next stage of their education, each child is known to us. Academic progress and pastoral care are inspired and provided in equal, excellent measure by our dedicated staff team. With a forward thinking curriculum, incorporating traditional academic delivery with creative, sporting and musical activities, and a rich programme of character development, Claremont Fan Court Preparatory School is a school where children blossom and achieve more than they believed possible.

Continuing to flood their fans with content, the step brothers are back with visuals to the first song, "Yeah 5x" from their newly released album Step Brothers THREE. Unlike the "Good Cop Bad Cop" music video they released earlier in the week, the tone is a lot lighter while still staying true to delivering top of the line lyrics. The video shows the two brothers meeting and rapping in a treehouse paying homage to the original movie Stepbrothers' treehouse scene. Watching this video you can see the chemistry between the two is real and easy to see why the two make for a good combination every time. Stream or buy the album Step Brothers THREE on iTunes HERE.

"I don't know how you do what you do; I'm so in love with you… It just keeps getting better…." –Amazed, Lonestar
TO&E has been around FOR MORE THAN A YEAR.
Can you believe that??
As of 2/10/2016, my corner of the internet is a grown-up (that's how it works, right? Like dog years).
Honestly, running this site sometimes is like being in a relationship. We've had our ups and downs, and it ultimately takes an awful lot of work and communication. Honestly? I wouldn't have it any other way.
Happy Anniversary, TO&E. Here's to many more!

Free to Teach
Sometimes teachers feel like no one is listening. Well, this week someone said "We hear you." The US Dept. of Ed asked teachers about their jobs. The folks at The Friedman Foundation made a picture out of the puzzle pieces of information and give us "Free to Teach: What America's Teachers Say About Teaching in Public and Private Schools".
Study co-author Greg Forster via Jay Greene's blog:
"We found that the government school system is not providing the best environment for teaching. Public school teachers fare worse than private school teachers on virtually every measurement – sometimes by large margins. They have less autonomy in the classroom, less influence over school policy, less ability to keep order, less support from administrators and peers, and less safety. So it's not surprising that they also have less job satisfaction on a variety of measures.Here's the link to the .pdf copy of "Free to Teach: What America's Teachers Say About Teaching in Public and Private Schools".
Which of the two sources of influence – politics or parents – do you think is more focused on demanding that schools provide better teaching?
Parents and teachers are traditionally thought of as antagonists. And no wonder – under the current system, parents have no effective control over their children's education other than what they can extract from their teachers by pestering and nagging them. The status quo is designed to force parents and teachers into an antagonistic relationship."
A couple of snips from the study.
- Private school teachers are more likely to teach in urban environments (39 percent v. 29 percent) while public school teachers are more likely to teach in rural environments (22 percent versus 11 percent).
- But the claims attributed to "teachers" actually come from self-appointed spokesmen, not from a nationally representative sample of teachers. What if we asked teachers nationwide how things actually worked in their schools, and found out that their testimony tended to confirm what the reformers claimed?
- The most striking difference between the public and private sectors is the disparity in school size. Public schools have, on average, over twice the number of enrolled students, 804 students per school versus 385 in private schools.
- This salary difference sheds a different light on the subsequent findings in this study. As the remaining tables show, working conditions for teachers are superior in private schools across a wide variety of measurements. While these are observational data and we cannot perform a statistical analysis to determine causation, the data lend themselves to the hypothesis that public school salaries are higher partly to compensate for the inferior working conditions teachers endure in public schools.
- Public school teachers report working a total of 52 hours per week and teaching for 27 of those hours, while private school teachers report working a total of 48 hours and teaching for 26 of those.
- Public school teachers are twice as likely as private school teachers to agree that "I sometimes feel it is a waste of time to try to do my best as a teacher" (17 percent versus 9 percent).
- The remarkable observation that private school teachers are 26 percentage points more likely to strongly agree that they have all the textbooks and supplies they need is all the more surprising given that private schools make do with much less spending than public schools. The average private school tuition is $6,600, compared to over $10,000 per student spent in public schools. Yet private schools do a radically better job of equipping their teachers.
- Popular myth has it that the private school sector is a redoubt of racial privilege, while public schools are the only hope for breaking down racial barriers. In fact, while desegregation efforts have repeatedly failed to reduce actual levels of segregation in public schools, the empirical evidence has consistently shown that private school vouchers succeed in providing a less segregated school environment. Vouchers are also the education reform that has the best empirical track record at improving educational outcomes for minority students.

Do you have one minute a day to invest in yourself? Pastor Roger Patterson looks at sports through a different lens and helps us learn about life, love, and how to be the man God created us to be. A Minute of Vision for Men is consistent with Psalm 32:8, instructing and teaching men in the way they should go. It is a must-read for every man longing to be better in the marketplace, at home, and in the fields of life.
A Minute of Vision for Men is a great starter to growing as a man of God. It will flicker the inner passion God has given you to grow in wisdom and your daily devotion to the Lord.
A Minute of Vision for Men is a strong tool to lead any man into spiritual growth in just one minute a day. These daily nuggets of wisdom speak to the real life of men in a very practical way. This devotional presents a daily thought with Scripture that is not intimidating or overwhelming. It gets to the point and speaks right to the heart. A must-have!
My walk and relationship with God is at its best when I am experiencing tangible growth and change on a daily basis. This devtional allows me to do just that in a way that I haven't come across before. It paints imagery into my head that allows my time with God to be practical and real; it generates conversation with him in a way that makes me feel like he is sitting in the same room with me. This devotional allows me to take my time with God and really apply it to my life, and it has allowed me to daily see and feel growth and change in my relationship with Christ.
This is a must-read! The inspiration Pastor Patterson gives in these daily readings will start or end your day right and leave an epic impact on your life. This isn't just for those seeking spiritual inspiration but for all those who need that little extra to enhance their day and their life. I won't miss a day—nor should you. I pray this is the first of many more books of inspiration by Roger. Thank you for the inspiration!
A Minute of Vision for Men is a relevant daily devotional for all men. The compact daily readings are both motivating and inspiring, while at the same time they provide a challenging word. I would recommend this devotional to all men, regardless of their stage in life.
A Minute of Vision for Men is an exceptional tool for anyone who strives for daily excellence in their personal and professional life. It offers a short yet profound opportunity for reflection, guidance, and motivation, which are keys to success. Roger has done a tremendous job putting into his book an influence and charisma that until now only those of us who know him personally have reaped the benefits of.

I've had my eye on this dotted racerback dress from J.Crew since last summer, but it sold out really fast.
This summer, J.Crew's factory label featured the same dress at a slightly lower price point. I bought it and love it! The shift style is so easy to wear and the v-neck is sexy, but not too showy.
It was my mother's day lunch dress styled with red patent slingbacks and a black cardigan.

Real Income Growth across Metropolitan Areas
A standard measure of regional economic performance is per capita income growth. Typically, analysts try to remove the effects of inflation on the raw data for income growth by converting nominal per capita income for an area into real or constant-dollar income. The Consumer Price Index (CPI) is often used to make such adjustments. The chart below shows the real per capita income growth rates for a number of metropolitan areas from 2000 to 2006. (Note that the Bureau of Economic Analysis releases an adjusted income growth series, but it uses the PCE price index to deflate the raw data. We use the CPI here because of some comparisons we make below. Using the CPI instead of the PCE doesn't affect the rankings of cities with respect to their growth, although it does affect the magnitude of the real growth rates.)
In our adjusted series, real income growth was highest in San Diego, Miami-Fort Lauderdale, and Honolulu and lowest in Atlanta, Detroit-Ann Arbor-Flint, and Portland-Salem. With respect to Fourth District metropolitan areas, Cleveland-Akron experienced very modest growth of 1.1 percent over the period, ranking it sixth-lowest among the 26 metropolitan areas. Cincinnati had a growth rate of 2.7 percent, placing it in the middle of the distribution, and Pittsburgh's growth rate was 7.6 percent, the highest in the Fourth District.
This standard approach to measuring real income growth assumes that the changes in price levels experienced in metropolitan areas are similar to the change in price levels at the national level. No adjustments are made for differences in inflation rates across metropolitan areas. But inflation rates are not necessarily identical in different regions. For the areas in the figure above, the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) produces region-specific CPI's, which provide estimates of how price levels have changed over time within a particular region. Comparing changes in regional price indexes across regions shows which region has experienced a more rapid change in prices - not which region has a higher price level or higher living costs. The distribution of metropolitan average CPI growth rates indicates considerable variation in inflation across regions. Metropolitan areas on the low end, like Milwaukee, Portland, and Atlanta, had average annual inflation rates of 2.1 to 2.3 percent, while metropolitan areas on the higher end, such as Miami, Los Angeles, and San Diego, had rates of 3.8 to 4.1 percent.
These differences in regional CPI growth rates affect the calculation of real per capita income growth, as well. The figure below shows real per capita income growth of different metropolitan areas calculated with both the national and regional price indexes. Comparing the two measures of real income growth across areas, we note that the series deflated by the regional CPI shows less overall variation across regions than the series that uses the national CPI. Real income growth rates using the national CPI range from -7.0 to 11.5 percent over the period from 2000 to 2006. Using the regional CPIs as deflators, the range falls to -4.2 to 9.9 percent.
Moreover, there are significant differences in real per capita income across cities, depending on which deflator is used. For example, when we use the national CPI to adjust for changes in prices over time, New York has a real income growth rate of 6.4 percent compared to Cleveland's 1.1 percent for the 2000-2006 period. When we use the regional CPIs, Cleveland's real income grows at 4.0 percent, while New York' s grows at 3.0 percent. A key difference between Cleveland and New York in changes in underlying prices is that New York experienced much higher growth in the housing component of its regional CPI than did Cleveland.
Comparing the relative rankings of Fourth District cities in income growth across the two series using the different CPIs, we see that Fourth District cities move up in the rankings when the regional CPI is used to adjust for growth in prices. With the regional CPI, Cleveland is near the center of the distribution in income growth, with Cincinnati and Pittsburgh well above the median metropolitan area. This move up the rankings for Cleveland and Cincinnati is particularly noticeable. These cities had modest nominal income growth compared to other cities but experienced below-average regional inflation, which resulted in relatively stronger real per capita income growth.

A deep dive on Canadian dollars
Back in 1821, the Montreal Bank issued the first notes. 20 years later, the first Canadian pounds were born. However by 1858, the Canadian dollar was issued to more closely align with the US dollar, and the Bank of Canada's first banknotes came along in 1934. In 2011 Canada began to produce a more duarble plymer note similar to those used in Australia.
More info on Canadian dollars
The most commonly used bills in Canadian dollars are the $5, $10, $20, $50 and $100 bills. There are also $500 and $1000 notes but these aren't seen often because of their high value.

The following three causes of infertility comprise over 80% of all major infertility issues. During infertility workup, over 80% of infertile couples have one or more of these problems:
- Ovulation Problems (often related to the mother's age): Anovulation and low egg quality
- Male Factors (sperm problems): Low sperm count and low quality sperm
- Pelvic factors (for example, problems with the fallopian tubes) Fallopian tube problems
Below are facts concerning the percentage distribution of fertility problems:
- About 25% of cases of infertility are due to ovulation problems such as anovulation and polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS);
- 30% are caused by pelvic factors such as endometriosis, adhesions, or tubal disease, and
- 35% are due to male factors such as an abnormal sperm count (for example, oligospermia or not enough sperm, increased semen viscosity, decreased sperm motility, or decreased semen volume).
- Less than 5% of infertility is caused by abnormal cervical mucus penetration, antisperm antibodies, or corpus luteum defects (CLP).
- In about 10-15% of couples, no specific reason for infertility can be found on initial evaluation. This is called (unexplained infertility). But on further evaluation and treatment, occasionally factors such as poor sperm penetration or abnormal-appearing oocytes (eggs) are discovered.

Chilean Sea Bass For Date Night
My husband and I love Chilean sea bass but it is so expensive. At Isaacson & Stein fish company it cost about $18 a pound. I usually get a medium size piece which is a little shy of a pound. However, if we were to go to our favorite fish restaurant, a Chilean sea bass dish would cost about $30 per person, so cooking it at home is a deal. My favorite Chilean sea bass recipe is from Cooking Light but I now have started to use another a glaze which is much quicker.
Sprinkle the fillets with 1/2 teaspoon salt and black pepper. Place the fillets on a broiler pan coated with cooking spray; broil 5 to 9 minutes. Remove from oven; brush fillets evenly with glaze. Return to oven; broil for an additional 5 minutes or until the fish flakes easily when tested with a fork.
- 3 tablespoons pineapple preserve
2 tablespoons rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon chopped fresh or 1/4 teaspoon dried basil
1/8 teaspoon crushed red pepper
1 garlic clove, minced
3/4 teaspoon salt, divided
4 (6-ounce) sea bass or other firm white fish fillets (about 1 inch thick)
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Cooking spray

Yeah it amazes me, From an insider perspective they probably all know he's not the real Paul, yet the fix is on... I can't get enough on this topic...ReplyDelete
Has anyone seen the Dec. 28, 2014 Jimmy Fallon show with Faul? Jimmy says to him, "You do a great Paul McCartney. You do the best Paul McCartney impersonation ever!" https://youtu.be/m_zf6kYvR8kReplyDelete

Very obvious Paul had a natural and true sense of humor Faul never possessed.ReplyDelete
Another clue I just noticed on the Beatles VEO channel on YouTube, "The Beatles Real Love." At 3:55, it shows Faul (apparently in India) playing the guitar right-handed! No one can say this is a "flipped image" faked by PIDers.ReplyDelete
What are your thoughts on Patrick Scrivener? His research and work is similar to yours although he takes it a step further by claiming all four Beatles were replaced at the same time. "The Beatles were Titanized". Is his catch phrase. He has a web site with what I deem as credible research and facts about his claim. I do know that you also delve into this theory as well, with the John Lennon comparison, but just how far do you go with it? TY.ReplyDeleteReplies
I came to the same conclusion that all 4 Beatles were replaced. I have talked about that on some of my radio interviews.Delete

Agreed. Paul was the first, John next, George and Ringo not sure who was next. This guy playing Ringo with the constant peace sign is a fraud just like Faul playing JPM is a fraud. This was a hostile takeover for sure. Just like the current Weinstein takeover is nothing more than one powerful group taking over another playing dirty all the way. If you think hostile takeovers take place in boardrooms and cornering shareholder stock then you need to watch the Godfather and project that into Wall Street, London, Hong Kong and the like.Delete
Please, I would love to hear more about the theory that all four Beatles were replaced. My mind has been blown!Delete

Here's a signal piece on how it works. BTW - I don't believe for a second Brian Epstein died of an overdose he was just told he had to move on, he lived on for sure. Furthermore I think Sir Faul is Jewish. Powerful Jewish RARELY marry outside the tribe. Faul is 3 for 3. Yes I think Heather Mills is Jewish too.ReplyDelete
Here's the rundown. McCartney's first wife was the Jewish Linda Eastman, not part of the George Eastman family of Eastman-Kodak fame in Rochester, N.Y. She was born in New York City and grew up in the Scarsdale area of Westchester County. She graduated from Scarsdale High School in 1959.
Her father was born Leopold Vail Epstein, the son of Jewish-Russian immigrants, who later changed his name to Lee Eastman. He was an entertainment lawyer who represented McCartney after the Beatles' long-time manager, Brian Epstein, died in 1967 of an accidental drug overdose. McCartney's choice of his father-in-law as manager was famously opposed by fellow Beatle John Lennon, who favored the former Rolling Stones manager Allen Klein (also Jewish). The dispute over management of the Beatles, """which pitted a Jewish lawyer against a Jewish accountant""", became a major factor in the ultimate dissolution of the Fab Four. Linda Eastman's brother, John Eastman, later took over from his father and remained McCartney's manager and attorney for many years.
Did I read a guy named Maxwell handled the Beatles for mi5 and didn't Maxwells silver hammer came down upon his head and Maxwells silver hammer made sure that he was dead. Is this after the car crash to finish off injured Paul. A deal with the illuminati silver being the metal of the moon cult illuminati. And to represent it symbolically Crowley at the funeral on the Sgt. Peppers album.cover.ReplyDelete

As you know historical documents today regarding the JFK assassination were released today. The assassination of JFK and the elimination of JPM and the original Beatles are woven and bound together, their source of demise is the same evil criminal legion. The perpetrators are one in the same. If you don't get that then you are missing the overall. We need to defeat them by exposing them. Think about it April 27, 1961 and here we are in 2017. We have no leaders it's up to us.ReplyDelete
So true. I came to the PID, for the 2nd time I was a child in '67 and was ware of the original PID phenom, by way of my niece. And though I was on-board with JFK, 811 and was an avid researcher into alternative news, I wasn't ready for PID to be true. It was too personal. But when I matched my transition from adoring JPM as a little girl to finding him and music ridiculous, I was able to see that indeed he had been replaced. So many decades had passed since even considered JPM. Most recently I would mused about strangely he'd aged because of extensive plastic surgery, giving him a "grandmotherly" appearance. His music was pablem, saccharine and annoying. After reading the Italian forensic study I realized that my reactions to a once beloved singer were the best proof. And once you know the degree of manipulation and control that is placed upon a l of us, You realize that the Beatles and the culture that that they ushered in couldn't thrive outside of the control system. Let alone achieve that level of success and influence.Delete

Thought the 'all 4 were replaced' to be a bit of a stretch to be honest, but was watching your I/v with Jim Fetzer - I think it was your first with all the images that clearly show Faul for who he is, when opposite on the YouTube bar was a collection of 'Photos of the Beatles by Elena' (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCH9JepAkpJsF07XoZaxO1bQ).ReplyDelete
Are you aware of it? Huge body of work of photos/video etc that have all been posted this year- and after watching several of them I think you may be right!
Unbelievable collection of photos of very obvious doubles, mixed in with originals, lots very grainy but clearly not the Fab Four but others even in successive frames clearly different people. It is an absolute mind f*** of the highest calibre.
There is video of the 'making of Hey Jude' with Faul and a new skinny faced, bespectacled John and original sounding talking and singing overlayed with some very dodgy vocals. Look at the one with the photos with Muhammad Ali in 1964 at 3.11 it looks like Ringo and definitely John have had their profiles altered - John so bad it's funny - giving him the elongated hooked nose he seemed to suddenly develop but at 4.20 he's back to normal !
In California in August 66 the b/w Paul is shown to be hairy and in the two colour shots he isn't. This very strange but equally obvious juxtaposition seems to be evident in most that I have viewed so far.
There is a lifetime of work looking at this lot I tell you. Someone has gone to a LOT of trouble putting these together.
Have fun, P.

I didn't even get to the 9:25 mark before I noticed that some of the closeup videos of Paul are weird. His eyes don't always move in synch with his face, as though someone went back and popped the eyes in later. All the video is grainy, but everyone else's eyes are moving along with their faces. Major and consistent blurring of the outer corners of his mouth, as well, no matter which way he turns. Also noticed the big GREY ear facing us during some of the concert footage. Finally, this is the first time I've seen any of the Pauls wearing braces. The only other Paul sighting I recall where he has these large spaces between his teeth is a still from the India trip.ReplyDelete
