The Blog!
Down by the River at night
Big floodlit buildings, bridges and statues, a reflection or two, add in some blurred movement from a boat and Bob's your Uncle... Neil's looking to get the camera and tripod out.
This is the first instalment of what I imagine will be a recurring theme as I work my way down the river... There a number of really interesting bridges and pieces of public art.
The Steel work was quite eye-catching at night.
This is the same bridge as before but showing a boat moving down the river and the Jin Tower, which is the tallest building in Tianjin in the background.
The next bridge up, which leads to the Old Italian Concession, is modelled on a Parisian theme. It sounds fairly bad, but actually the effect is quite nice. The Italian concesion is full of EUropean resaurants and is not a bad place to eat, but it does, to me a t least, feel really touristy.

We have such a wonderful and busy month ahead! But before I get to all of that, I just want to say THANK YOU to our wonderful volunteers and congregants! Being at a variety of events over the last month just reminded me of how fortunate we are. We have celebrated and mourned together quite a bit; from a baby naming, two auf rufs, a special
Inclusion Shabbat, a wonderful tribute to a special congregant from his visiting family from all over the US, hosting the larger community at the World Wide Wrap, Purim festivities, to the loss of dear ones. In all of it, our members constantly step up with their time, devotion, and heart to make every gathering a special one. Thank you to every one of you! You make Beth Torah a very special place.
We have lots more opportunities coming up to be together and bond together with two B'Nai Mitzvot and Spirit Night at Ben & Jerry's, benefiting Learning Center, on March 6 from 6PM to 9PM. Thank you to Robyn and Hunter Rose for sponsoring this event. 15% of proceeds will come back to our kids.
We will be having a congregational In–Home Shabbat on March 16. Please go to our website to sign up with your preferences. It is also Men's Club Shabbat March 16 and 17 so we hope you'll join us as our Men's Club lead services and then stay for our weekly Kiddush lunch.
The 25th annual Kosher Chili Cook–off at Tiferet Israel is Sunday, March 18, 11AM and 4PM. As always, Beth Torah will have a team and we are still looking for volunteers to help cover our booth. Please contact Liz Cox if would like to volunteer. Otherwise, come by and vote for our team's chili!
Please join us for the JCRC Interfaith Seder on Thursday, March 22! There is still time to register at https://jewishdallas.org/jcrc/seder. The Seder will be led by Rabbi Zelony and Bishop Burns of the Dallas Catholic Diocese, with special visitors and speakers. It will be a special evening.
Our annual Congregational Community Seder for the 2nd night of Passover is March 31. Stacey Clark will be catering again this year and Rabbi Zelony and Beri Schwitzer will lead us in another engaging Seder for all ages. Please go to http://cbtnews/cbtseder to register. Space is limited!
Wow, so many great opportunities to be together! I look forward to sharing these wonderful community gatherings with my special community at Beth Torah!


text: "Book of petitions." On 11 Nov 2012 German Pirate Party members voted online through a catalog of over 1400 proposals that had been submitted as prospective party platform planks. The topics ran the gamut, not unexpectedly. Spiegel-Online wrote that the party is hoping to "distill" a program from this process, and that the worst that could happen would be if the top ~50 suggestions were for minor issues rather than major GPP points such as electronic privacy and copyright. It is hoped this will also take care of "white areas of the map" for which the GPP has not had enough of a position before now, e.g. "employment, social and economic policy, electricity prices and building new housing."

Firmware Version 1.20a Build 10 for the Juma TRX-2 introduces a new feature, (dBm Power Display) and greatly modifies an existing feature, (Auto-Equalise) as well as improving an existing feature (Very Fast Tuning Rate exit).
New Feature
The latest version of the firmware for the companion PA-100D linear amplifier included the facility to display the output power either in Watts or dBm. It seemed a sensible idea therefore to include this facility into the TRX-2. There is now an additional User Configuration menu item that allows this selection to be made. As this uses an additional word of the EEPROM, this will cause a checksum error on initial boot up with this firmware. Please make a note of your existing calibration and configuration settings before loading this new version so that they can be restored.
Note that the dBm display is logarithmic. The maximum output of the transceiver is 10W, +40dBm - do not exceed this! Remember, +37dBm is 5W, +43dBm would be 20W! Equally, the power meter display is inhibited for very low output powers. As the calculation involves using the log10() C function, a zero value for output power would result in a Math Error trap, so the display is suppressed for powers below about +6dBm.
I strongly suggest observing the graphic power meter display when using the dBm option. The graphic scale is preset so that full-scale is 10W, giving a positive indication that you are not exceeding the maximum output power rating of the transceiver. The dBm scale is very useful when testing cables, couplers, etc, as it allows you to easily assess their coupling loss in dB, particularly when used in conjunction with the PA-100D.
The gain/frequency characteristic of the driver and PA stages and their associated low-pass filters is not completely flat across the amateur bands. The original firmware incorporated a manual method whereby one could equalise the power output across the amateur bands, but it was a tedious, calculation intensive process. Some firmware revisions ago I automated the procedure, and this feature became part of the Serial Test Suite. Unfortunately, it did require the use of the serial port, and a laptop computer connected to a USB to RS-232 converter, and running a terminal program. As a result, it did not tend to get used very often either for its intended purpose of equalising the output power or as a diagnostic tool to isolate filter/amplifier problems.
This new version of Auto-Equalise is capable of being invoked as before, remotely from a serial terminal connection, but also now locally from the transceiver's front panel, dispensing with the need to use the serial port.
To use the Auto-Equalise function from the front panel, connect the transceiver to a good 50-ohm dummy load capable of dissipating at least 5W. From the power-OFF state, press and hold the FAST/VFAST button, and power up the transceiver. Continue to hold the FAST/VFAST button until you see the message:
Automatic RF
O/P Equalisation
At this point, release the FAST/VFAST button and you will receive the prompt:
PWR=No MODE=Yes
Briefly press the MODE button to proceed, or the PWR button to abort. Assuming you wished to continue, after pressing the MODE button you will receive a prompt:
Press and hold
PTT to start...
Press and hold the PTT switch. The top line of the display will show the graphic power meter and the digital power display, in either Watts or dBm, the lower line of the display will show the current test frequency, starting at 28.850MHz and continuing down to 1.9MHz. If either an error occurs, (SWR, Overcurrent, High/Low Voltage, Low output power) or the PTT switch is released, then the function will gracefully abort without making any changes. Otherwise, a calculation will be performed to determine the optimum settings for the attenuator for each of the amateur bands, and the result will be displayed, similar to this:
17m 010010110
PWR to exit...
The first figure is the reference band used for the calculation. This is the band having the lowest measured output power. The second 9-digit string represents the attenuation settings for the 9 amateur bands in the order, from left to right, 10m, 12m, 15m, 17m, 20m, 30m, 40m, 80m, and 160m. In this case, the 17m band was the reference, and its digit will be blinking to further remind you. As you can see, in this actual example, the 10m band requires 0dB, the 12m band 1dB, the 15m band 0dB, the 17m band 0dB, and blinking, the 20m band 1dB, the 30m band 0dB, the 40m band 1dB, the 80m band 1dB, and the 160m band 0dB.
By briefly pressing the PWR button, the display will clear, and the transceiver will drop into its normal operating mode.
The Auto-Equalise function can also be invoked from the Serial Test Suite, in which case considerably more diagnostic information is available. To use this mode, again ensure that the transceiver is connected to a dummy load. In the User Configuration menu set the Serial Port mode to TEST. Unless you have a reason to use a different speed, leave the port speed at its default setting of 9600 Baud. Connect the RS-232 port of the transceiver to a suitable serial port on either a laptop or a desktop computer, usually via a USB to RS-232 converter, and launch a terminal program. Set the terminal program to 9600 Baud, 8 bits, no parity, 1 stop bit, and no flow control. Ensure you can reliably communicate with the transceiver.
Enter the letter Q (upper-case Q) and respond to the prompts. Press and hold the PTT switch to start the equalisation, and when the process is complete, release the PTT switch. You will receive a data dump similar to this:
Auto Equalise RF Output Power
Ensure transceiver is connected to a 50 Ohm dummy load.
This may alter your current attenuator settings.
Do you wish to continue (Y/N)?: Y
Press and hold the PTT switch to start...
Band: 10m Average Power: 4.6W : +36.6dBm
Band: 12m Average Power: 5.3W : +37.3dBm
Band: 15m Average Power: 5.0W : +37.0dBm
Band: 17m Average Power: 4.5W : +36.5dBm
Band: 20m Average Power: 5.8W : +37.6dBm
Band: 30m Average Power: 4.8W : +36.8dBm
Band: 40m Average Power: 6.2W : +37.9dBm
Band: 80m Average Power: 5.7W : +37.6dBm
Band: 160m Average Power: 5.0W : +37.0dBm
Band: 10m Rel Power: +0.09dB Attenuator: 0dB
Band: 12m Rel Power: +0.76dB Attenuator: -1dB
Band: 15m Rel Power: +0.44dB Attenuator: 0dB
Band: 17m Rel Power: +0.00dB Attenuator: 0dB <- Reference Band
Band: 20m Rel Power: +1.12dB Attenuator: -1dB
Band: 30m Rel Power: +0.28dB Attenuator: 0dB
Band: 40m Rel Power: +1.37dB Attenuator: -1dB
Band: 80m Rel Power: +1.04dB Attenuator: -1dB
Band: 160m Rel Power: +0.48dB Attenuator: 0dB
Release the PTT switch to complete...
Equalisation Complete!
Note that this method gives complete information regarding the output powers obtained, as well as identifying the reference band. You can also obtain a dump of the current attenuator settings for all the bands using the R command thus:
RF Attenuator Settings
Filter Attenuator
28MHz 0dB
26MHz 1dB
23MHz 0dB
19MHz 0dB
15MHz 1dB
12MHz 0dB
8MHz 1dB
4MHz 1dB
2MHz 0dB
1MHz 3dB
600kHz 3dB
300kHz 3dB
As well as equalising the RF output, the facility is also a useful diagnostic tool. If the transceiver has been carefully built, and its filters properly assembled, then the equalisation settings should be similar to those above. If you see 2dB attenuations, or, worse, 3dB, then this indicates a serious problem with one or more of the filters and needs investigating. The filter of the reference band should be thoroughly investigated for bad soldered joints, open circuits, relay selection logic faults, or other defects.
The System Calibration & Setup mode now also has an additional page which allows you to individually adjust the attenuator settings for each amateur band. The display is the same as for the local invocation of the Auto-Equalise function. To select an amateur band, briefly press the FILTER button. If the button is pressed and held, the band will automatically cycle through from 10m to 160m, and back to 10m. Release the button when you have selected the desired band, and adjust the attenuator value with the VFO knob in the usual way. The selected amateur band is displayed numerically, and its relevant digit will also blink.
Finally, it is still possible to adjust the attenuator of the currently selected amateur band. Select the TUNE mode, and, ensure that the transceiver is connected to a dummy load or well matched antenna, and press and hold the PTT switch. To enter the attenuator adjustment mode, press the PWR button whilst holding the PTT switch closed. If the second function has been set to the LATCHED mode, you will hear a series of beeps indicating the function has been latched. In which case, release the PWR button, and now adjust the attenuation value with the VFO knob. The top line of the display will show both the graphic and digital power meters, the bottom line will show the current attenuation value. If the second function has been set to the PRESS & HOLD mode, continue to hold the PWR button and adjust the attenuation with the VFO knob. To exit, release the PTT switch, and the PWR button, if held. The new attenuation value for this band will be saved to the EEPROM.
This version of the Auto-Equalise function has been completely re-designed, and now gives much more repeatable and reproducible results. The power used is now much lower than before, which ensures that the driver and PA stages are operating away from their gain compression points and on the reasonably linear portion of their transfer characteristics. The design of the PA is such that at high temperatures the bias is reduced thus tending to protect the amplifier from excessive dissipation, but this characteristic also changes the power gain. Thus, in the previous versions, repeated invocations of the function in rapid succession tended to give variable results. It also had the effect of increasing the thermal stress. With reduced power, as well as turning the RF off between band switch operations, the thermal stress is much lower, and the results readily repeatable.
Tuning Rate Feature Change
The second function (Long Press) of the FAST/VFAST button is that of engaging the Very Fast (1kHz) tuning rate. In the previous build and all previous versions of the firmware, the only way of exiting from the Very Fast tuning rate was by briefly pressing the FAST/VFAST button, whereupon you would be returned to the default Medium tuning rate (10Hz). After using this for quite some time I found that, especially when using a digital mode, I would then have to re-select the Slow tuning rate (1Hz). This build addresses this, and now there are two exit possibilities. The first is as before, a brief press of the FAST/VFAST button which returns you to the Medium (10Hz) rate. However, there is now a second exit. By pressing and holding the FAST/VFAST button you will now exit to the Slow (1Hz) tuning rate.
CW/CWR Modification
The 'sense' of the CW/CWR mode has been reversed to agree with that of my Elecraft KX3. In this version, the CW (Normal) mode now uses LSB, and the CWR (Reverse) mode uses USB. From a practical operational standpoint it makes no real difference except that when tuning in a CW signal the pitch change with VFO knob rotation is now the same as with the KX3. In the CW (Normal) mode, a clockwise rotation of the VFO knob increases the pitch. Interestingly, my Yaesu FT-450D works in exactly the opposite way, as does my Kenwood TS-2000, whereas my Icom IC-756 Pro-III works the same way as the Elecraft KX3, so there does not seem to be an agreed standard. However, it does seem to be more logical to have an increase in pitch with a clockwise rotation of the VFO knob.
A minor bug has been fixed. When restoring the defaults, the mode of VFO-E and VFO-F was incorrectly set. This is now fixed.
NOTE: As the EEPROM mapping has changed, this version of the firmware WILL CAUSE A CHECKSUM ERROR on first execution! This is normal, and only occurs the first time. Make sure to make a note of your calibration and configuration settings prior to loading this firmware! After the initial checksum error, the standard defaults will be loaded. Switch off and then enter the System Calibration & Setup mode and re-enter your calibration settings. Exit and save these, and then enter the User Configuration mode, and re-enter your configuration settings.
If you are upgrading from an original version of the firmware, you will have to re-calibrate your transceiver as the measurement system is completely different, and there is no 'easy' way to 'translate' the old calibration settings into the new version.

By now we know, our hands are the first to show signs of age. But that doesn't mean you can slather on the anti-aging hand cream and ignore the rest of your body. Marie Veronique Organics has formulated this lush all-over oil potent antioxidants with essential fatty acids that hydrate and firm skin. It sinks in immediately and, thanks to natural grapefruit and lavender oils, leaves skin sweetly scented.
know that some people dont like the scent, but it does remind me spa in thailand.. was expecting to find lemongrass as it's quite refreshing, but the info says it has "replenishing rose, neroli, avocado, and jojoba oils".. don't expect rose scent!
the oil absorbs very quickly than your normal body oil and softens skin.
Light aromatherapy type smell like orange and ylang ylang. Absorbs quickly and lightly lingers, which is good because anything stronger would either give me a headache or clash with my regular perfume. Not greasy and actually mixes well with moisturizer too. Kind of pricey for such a small bottle.4

Bipolar Matt
I'm trying to get to 100% sync on the Vizier Part 2 mission (I didn't make it in under a minute the first time). I've tried re-playing the mission 4 times, and it always glitches out. Three times she just led me out and walked around, the Vizier never appeared. Another time she just stopped and did not move, because the guards who were supposed to come never did.
Anyone know how to resolve this?

New documentary follows beneficiaries of Grameen America micro-financing funds.
Small business finance news has been dominated by the credit crunch and its disastrous results in this sector. As a result, entrepreneurs have been forced to get creative in order to find funding and keep their ventures afloat.
Micro-financing is one channel that has grown increasingly popular in the U.S. The method, which was pioneered by Grameen Bank and its founder, Nobel Laureate Muhammad Yunus, to help women in developing nations, offers small loans in the range of thousands to tens of thousands of dollars.
Consider Guyanese immigrant Patricia, who hoped to open her own cakes and pastries shop in Queens, New York. After being turned down for a traditional loan, she approached Grameen America, the Huffington Post explains. With her first check, Patricia was able to buy a mixer - an integral piece of equipment for her new business.
"My dream was to get me this big mixer," she told the source. "And I couldn't believe it when I got a check from Grameen that day. I was like, I got my mixer!"
Grameen Bank does more than just provide startup loans. As a part of receiving funding, recipients must attend financial training sessions, make weekly payments and open a savings account.
Patricia's story and those of other women like her is chronicled in the documentary To Catch a Dollar.

I initially planned to prepare for the tournament like how I have managed in my first 3 years in KPMG, getting my colleagues to pack food while I mug serious opening theory during lunch time but I soon realized this was never going to happen. I have had a rough ride in the last couple of months, at times struggling to stay awake throughout the day and feeling really exhausted the moment I reach home. Clearly, I should have a good think why this is happening given that I consider myself to be physically fit (yes, looks can be deceiving) and still think I have a good few years more in audit. However, I also should start thinking when it's time to lower chess on the priority list given that it always seems that 24 hours a day isn't nearly enough and we all know how much hard work it takes to maintain my standard at a decent IM level let alone to push for that final GM norm (and 2500 elo).
The National Championships is always going to be a strong event but this year, the field of 6 IMs in the double round robin tournament is proving to be the most grueling yet. The first 4 games showed how tough it was going to be as despite some reasonable play, I blundered terribly in the 2 games I won and the result could have been extremely different.
In Round 1, Luis Chiong surprised me with his very first move (1.Nf3). Luis has always struck me as a very principled player and it was a surprise to see him deviating from his favourite Queen's pawn opening. It was a tremendous struggle and even though I emerged victorious, it really could have ended very differently.
In Round 2, the experienced master Rico Mascarinas wanted to play solidly ("No Sicilian against you!") and essayed the Petroff defence. My preparation was found wanting and Black achieved equality with ease. The early draw was not a bad result taking into account that I managed to catch the remaining 20 minutes of the Suzuki Cup Final, 2nd leg between Thailand and Singapore.
Next, I was Black vs Yap Kim Steven, a young Filipino IM who has been terrorizing the local chess scene in several rapid events recently. He had a blistering start with 2/2 which means that this match up was even more important. I essayed my favorite French Defence and quickly entered a major pieces endgame where Black was always slightly strategically better. I was surprised that Steven exchanged queens so early in the game as I've always felt he is an excellent attacker and the exchange took a lot of pressure off me.
I ground out a win after nearly 4 hours of play but towards the end, I nearly threw it all away with a howler....
Another fortunate win and this game just goes to show how important it is to remain vigilant throughout the game. An important quote from GM Li Chao: "在下每一步棋,都要有输棋的警惕性" which means that in every situation and at every turn, you should always consider the prospect of losing.
Round 4 was another of my lame efforts to achieve an opening advantage with the White pieces. Facing Yee Weng's Caro Kann, I decided to give the Advance with 4.Nd2 a run out as I have spent considerable time during my gap year on this line. Despite being unfamiliar with the line, Yee Weng found the system with ...h6, ...Bh7 and ...Nf5 and achieved a solid position with comfortable play. Feeling that I was already starting to drift into a worse position, I offered an early draw which Yee Weng accepted after some thought.
It was good to finally get some games under my belt but I really have to do something to eradicate the horrible oversights. Round 5 continues on boxing day, 7pm, and I take Black against Enrique Paciencia. More to follow....

I was pleased to discover this week that Santa Fe is host to two very exciting food related events in the next six weeks. First, Edible Communities is hosting it's first annual Edible Institute here on January 28th!
For those of you unfamiliar with the publication, Edible Communities focuses on local, seasonal food from coast to coast. Each separate publication highlights local fare and food news. To find a publication in your area, go to this website and check out the offerings. Publications are listed alphabetically.
The Edible Institute will be a gathering of writers, eaters, and locavores coming together for a discussion on a variety of topics affecting local, sustainable agriculture.
Additionally, the Santa Fe Alliance is hosting a Local Food Growers and Buyers Expo in the beginning of February. This will be an opportunity for these two sides of sustainability to connect with one another and learn how to get locally grown sustainable foods on the tables and in the kitchens of local food businesses.
I will definitely be attending the Edible Institute and I am hoping to be able to make the Santa Fe Alliance Expo as well, although this is primarily for people in the "biz"…not sure my dairy goats really count!
In either case, it is just fabulous to be living in a place that hosts these kinds of events! Coming on the heels of the last year's Slow Money conference, it is definitely a joy to live in the city dipherent!
Happy Eating!
This post has been my weekly contribution to Real Food Wednesday, hosted by Kelly the Kitchen Kop.

Reclaiming Beauty, Art & Culture from Our Oppressors & Cultural Marxism
"Modern art is Communistic because it is distorted and ugly…It does not glorify our beautiful countries and therefore it's opposed to our government and culture. Those who create and promote it are our enemies."U.S. Rep. George Dondero [R-Michgan 18, 1953-1956]
For those of you fearful of truth, I'd ask you visit foxnews.com or better yet msnbc.com.
One technique subversives are proficient at is passing off filth, and that which is ugly, as artistic and beautiful. Mainstream art pundits, men like Moshe Feinstein claim that "art is a mere reflection of the times", but what if art is being utilized as an instrument, even weapon to influence change, instead of being merely a product of it? Just think about what's being passed off as modern art, music and pop culture today. Survey the music that is garnering awards and critical acclaim. Lady Gaga, Marilyn Manson, Amy Winehouse, Courtney Love, Katie Perry and other subversive shills have all won Grammy Awards for their contribution to music, while American icon, John Fogerty of Creedence Clearwater Revival notoriety, had to wait decades for recognition from the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences. Look at which group controls the music industry and what they are motivated by.
Have a gander at the people involved in art punditry; the people behind the prestigious Guggenheim award and Turner Prize. See a common denominator? The background of the men and women dictating what has value and what does not, has changed little since the late 19th century when masters like Arnold Böcklin (Isle of the dead, pictured above right), Ferdinand Oehme (Burg Scharfenberg bei Nacht pictured right) and other symbolist geniuses were marginalized so that degenerate art could be sold to the public.
In defense of Europe's move towards subversive abstract and Marxist degenerative art, Clement Greenberg wrote that the work of European classical and symbolist artists, Böcklin in particular was "the most consummate expression of all that's disliked from the latter half of the nineteenth century.."
Disliked by whom? And for what ulterior motive, Mr Greenberg?
During the 1920s CPUSA members (the Communist Party of the USA) received written instruction from Moscow to promote non-representational or abstract art so that the US's "public space would become gloomy and ugly". The Soviets, following the lead of Marxist theoreticians like Antonio Gramsci, a Jewish Italian, believed that Americans, like their Western European counterparts, were resistant to Marxist subversion on a political level, as generally speaking life was good. They believed that societal subversion through the theories pushed by radicals in Germany's Frankfurt School would sap Americans' will to resist Communist ideology and facilitate an eventual Communist coup. The explicit objective was to erode the confidence of America's ruling WASP elite and create an ideological vacuum to be filled by Marxism-Leninism.
Economic communism resulted in abject poverty, human suffering & death everywhere it was implemented-as planned by it's Zionist creators. The problem was it had little impact on Western Europe. The communist expectation of the worldwide worker revolt the genocidal Bolsheviks had in mind simply did not take root in Europe. People were too fiercely proud of their nations and had no interest in joining some nonsensical global worker's struggle. The fact that it was a con only added to Western Europeans aversion to the Communistic rabble rousers polluting their lands, and their false ideology. Still, that did not stop them.
Zionist Marxist philosopher, Antonio Gramsci proposed a form of cultural communism, commonly referred to as cultural Marxism, via the Frankfurt School. If you are not familiar with Gramsci's diabolical writings, he surmised that Marxism could only make inroads in wealthy "happy" western societies by subverting existing institutions. In other words, complete hegemony over cultural institutions (media, academia, political parties, churches) was necessary to tear society down. Any surprise US president Obama names Gramsci as his biggest ideological influence?
The Frankfurt school were a ragtag group of predominantly anti-Western Marxist and predominately Jewish racists with an axe to grind. To call them academics or social scientists would be giving them FAR too much credit.
Being forcibly removed from Germany during the rise of the Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei (NSDAP), the Frankfurt School set up shop at Columbia University in NY, where they experienced infiltrated "popular music, radio, television, and other forms of mass culture" (Wiggershaus 1994) The school consisted of dissident Marxists who believed the west could ONLY be subverted through a consistent attack on its culture, religion and traditions. Criticism of the school is often seen as an anti-semitic canard, however the fact remains that Felix Weil, Georg Lukács, Karl Korsch, Karl August Wittfogel, Friedrich, Antonio Gramsci, Max Horkheimer, Carl Grunberg, Theodore Adorno, Leo Lowenthal, Herbert Marcuse, Franz Neumann, Otto Kirchheimer, Friedrich Pollock-the founding members of the exiled school, were all Jewish. They were exiled from Germany for their Marxist activities, NOT their ethnicity.
After forcibly removed from Germany during the rise of the Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei (NSDAP), the Frankfurt School set up shop at Columbia University in NY, where they experienced infiltrated "popular music, radio, television, Thus began the demise of western civilisation. For more information on this intriguing and highly controversial subject, please join us on www.europeanknightsproject.org and peruse our vast catalogue of articles dedicated to combating cultural Marxism. For now let us concentrate on the reclamation of our glorious art.
We at EK believe that our culture is inherently beautiful and any attempt to subvert it should be met with ferocious opposition. While our enemy is responsible for much of the misery we see in our midst, our art should reflect all that we hold dear. We should resist their perversion with every fibre of our beings! Still, we are in quite a quandary as art will, and should to a certain extent, reflect life. Sadly, much of our modern music is a reactionary response to the misery our oppressors have perpetrated against us via their subversion.
As we've done with our good name, we shall reclaim art, beauty and sexuality from our oppressors!
One need only compare the classical beauty we found on our silver screens and stage in years past, to the likes of Sarah Jessica Parker and Mila Kunis, women being sold as the contemporary female ideal by our oppressors in Hollywood today, to know we are being conned. Is Mila Kunis really the most beautiful woman alive? Sarah Jessica Parker the female ideal? The EKP breaks down the Marxist beauty myth in this new article. Also please feel free to leave a comment below & join us again.
I ask that people take a few moments to subscribe to our free monthly newsletter, bookmark our page and if you're really ballsy, send us an email inquiring about our upcoming EKP camp.

Last week I unplugged my phone after it was fully charged. Thirty minutes later, it died. I visited my local Apple bar and a hipster dude wearing a skull cap in the heat of August told me it would be several hours before they could assess my situation after he looked at me with a questionable smirk when I told him yes, I had powered off and back on again.
Geniuses. They don't trust the common folk.
I decided to go to Best Buy because an employee with huge ear gauges told me that Apple is a "partner" carrier who might be able to help me in a more timely manner. Thanks girl! And I'm sorry for staring at your ears for so long. I was just wondering if I could fit my finger through your ear holes. No biggie.
At Best Buy, one of the Geek Squad members ran a full diagnostic on my phone. To no one's surprise, my battery was dead. He said he could get me a new one and asked me to return in about an hour. I paid for the battery and asked the darling Geek if he could text me when my phone was ready.
Geek: "Well m'am. I'll have your phone, soooooo no."
Touché Geek!
There's a Target near Best Buy and since the big red bullseye draws me in a like a bargain moth to a Dollar Spot flame, I decided to get lost in the store for precisely fifty-four minutes. I dug through my purse to pull out my phone so I could set a timer, freaked out that my phone was missing, and then realized that Geek had my phone.
Here's what else I tried to do with my phone while in Target:
- Punch in directions to Google maps for my next destination since I had never been where I was going.
- Shazam a song playing through the speakers.
- Call Mama.
- Text Jamie.
- Check the time.
- Text my roommate to see if she needed anything from Target.
- Listen to the Popcast podcast because Knox and Jamie are my favorites and I feel like I need to check on them like imaginary friends.
- Take a picture of a FUR LINER for kids' lockers.
- Instagram a picture of a FUR LINER for kids' lockers.
- Check the time again.
- Figure out my exact savings on a pillow (35% off) with the calculator.
- Check to see if that person had emailed me back yet.
- Panicked three more times wondering what I had done with my phone.
- Felt a phantom vibration twice in the side pocket of my purse.
- Newsflash: My phone was not there.
The good news is that I was able to relax and enjoy a new 80s/90s radio station as I drove back to Best Buy in five o'clock Houston traffic. While I was off the grid, I sang along with:
- UB40 abut red, red wine
- Cher turning back time
- Madonna cherishing things
- Alanis with one hand in her pocket
- Michael Jackson beating it
- Steve Perry and a girl named Sherrie
- The Steve Miller Band and that pesky Joker
- The Backstreet Boys wanting it that way
I actually took these notes down with old school pen and paper since I didn't have access to electronic note app. It was glorious. Try it today. Put the phone in a drawer for an hour and enjoy the freedom of a digital-free life.
Or write down everything you want to do with your phone and email me so we can bond.

Nearly half a century after the passage of the federal Voting Rights Act, African-Americans throughout the deep south still find themselves with little real power. In a report from South Carolina on the eve of the GOP primary there, anchor Jeff Greenfield describes how the sharp rise in the number of black state lawmakers creates the mistaken impression of greater black power. Greenfield also interviews two of the state's leading political analysts about the GOP presidential primary.
And: This week's American Voices essay features Bernard Lafayette, a prominent 1960s civil rights leader who discusses what he believes are organized efforts to undo black voting rights today.

Gobliceco is the civilization known for revering goblins. The state is blanketed by massive, dozen-kilometer tall structures consisting of temples, pyramids, obelisks, towers, pagodas, staircases, slopes, highways, high rises, and swimming pools.
The swimming pools tend to be the location of incidents involving mass tourist drownings.
Gobliceco once had a nearly civilization-destroying event when the forest decided to be ruder than usual and started sweeping over the city-scape. Gobliceco enlisted a global effort to stop the green tides and savagely beat the encroaching flora to death. However, this was all a ruse to show how powerful the forest was. When it came to envelop the famed warriors of Eurump, Gobliceco set forth its actual plan, dousing the flora in flames imported from Hell. Deforestation quickly resolved the heinous vegetable crusade, and things receded to a long-standing peace.
Gobliceco is the hegemony of Mesoslamerica, and has several tributary states: Gobru, Gocuba, Goxcoco, and Luchaland. It is currently trying to usurp power from Burgburg and transform it into another tributary state by sending in Goblin spies to be elected into Burg Congress and Sedenate. It's surprisingly working well. Gobliceco has already transplanted its own national bird, the eagle, as Burgburg's own.
The government is based on tributes, usually in the form of severed demon heads. The head of power has no supreme authority over its city-states. Instead, if a city-state is doing a good job, the head of power will give them an honorable thumbs-up and say, "Naiso Jobbu."
Gigantic stone heads litter the countryside of Gobliceco. These are actual stone men who got stuck. Stranded for thousands of years, they have foregone emotion and communication. They are the great ancestors of the Pillar Men, primordial beings related to the Slam Gods.

The end of summer is upon us. We are finishing strong! We all are looking forward to school, functions, routines, sports, fall and HOLIDAYS...so we are doing our best to soak in all the sunshine and laziness.
Cookout with the Wilsons!
Teatro Zin Zanni camp with Maddie!
"Mom, I'm going for the cute nerdy look. How's this?"
Olli is getting big and so am I! Surprisingly my midwife would like me to gain a little more weight, but I was relieved to find out Olli herself is measuring right on track-actually, 1 week ahead-and that the cord insertion is not depriving her of nutrients. That, or I'm doing a swell job consuming so many that even a small portion is enough for her to thrive haha. Anything for my girl ;)
Mighty Milo is getting chubbier by the day...so delicious. I could just eat him up!
Mike was in NYC for 10 days and my mom came to Seattle to save us all. We had a lot of fun and also got a lot of work done! Thanks to her, the kids and I all survived and were even smiling when Daddy got home :) We worked on Olli prep, nursery, school prep, transitioning kids rooms and decorating for fall. We also had a ton of fun with special movie nights, Christmas in
July August, decorating Ella's fairy garden and many crafting projects for Olli! She kept the world turning and I'm pretty sure she'll sleep for a week straight recuperating from our madness but we made the most of it all! Sometimes you just need someone to point you in the right direction and take charge and tell you what to do. Especially when your hubbyless for 10 days with 3 kids and 8 months pregnant! Mom's are the best!
She arrived with special school supply goodies since it's time to get ready to back to school!
We also had a belated birthday celebration at the space needle!
Desperate times call for desperate measures...or rather...screaming baby calls for candy when you are trying to think and shop and need a little peace and quiet. Mission accomplished.
Luca finished up with his summer t-ball team and Nana B got to watch!
We had our Christmas in July celebration, except for this time it was in August :) There's never a bad month to spend a day in pjs watching Christmas movies, listening to Christmas music, making ornaments and festive treats!
While pulling out my hope chest to find treasures to decorate Olli's room, we came across my play wedding dress that my Aunt Kim made for me when I was a little girl! Ella is in heaven! It is so sweet to have a girl, and soon to be girls, to share these memories and moments with.
Nana B also prepared a special movie night for us. Charolette's Web was her favorite story when she was little :)
There was popcorn of course. And we also had ocean water drinks complete with Swedish fish dummies swimming around!
A very special package arrived in the mail Monday!
The kids got a package with invitations and treats from Josh and Morgan asking them to be the flower girl and ring bearer in their wedding! Olli and Milo will be the honorary flower girl and ring bearer. We are all honored to be a part of this big day and can't wait to celebrate them!
On Nana B's last day, she got to go with us to Olli's 32 week appointment and growth scan! We were happy to see a healthy growing girl, but true to Olli form, she had her face hidden AGAIN! Her face was turned around and smushed in my back and she wasn't going to come out. She is completely keeping herself a mystery...waiting for the grand reveal on d-day! We didn't even get to see a foot because she had it all nestled in my rib cage haha. She showed us hiccups, legs and a spine. I definitely think she's going to be a cuddly girl!
Proud big bros and big sis!
After my mom left and before Mac's mom got here, we had one last (hopefully our last) girls day before she pops! We went to our happy place, U Village, and had lunch, treats and shopped around. We got LOTS of attention and some "WOWS" with our big ole bellies and even scored a free appetizer! Gotta milk it while we can! ;)
We are special.
Ella made it to a sleepover last night but not before a trip to the doctor to check on a sore throat and to make sure we wouldn't be sharing anything by attending. She checked out well and she's confident it's because she carried her bible all morning and prayed for healing :) She was so funny. In the doctor's office she gave a big "thank you Jesus!" when her temp came out fine and even shared a dramatic interpretation/performance of Fight Song. Oh to see her dancing and twirling singing with all her heart and soul, "this is my FIGHT SONG, take back my LIFE SONG!" Girlfriend has got just a little bit of personality. She always has and it just keeps getting bigger!
It looks like she had a GREAT time!!!
Meanwhile, these two are back home having bro time. Milo is not a patient baby...EVER. But I got so tickled in this moment because it was like they just got each other. A mutual understanding of sorts. Luca was determined to put Milo's pjs on for me and Milo seemed to just know that he had to play along because this would continue until Luca succeeded :) These two are the cutest together and are LOVING sharing a room :) We ended up not getting Milo in his big boy bed. He's just not ready. So we moved the crib down there and they've been playing down there together so well! A true bub club!
Now to
survive enjoy our last week of summer break...

So, it's New Year's Eve. And I'm in my slippers and planted on my couch and its not even 10:00pm yet. My glass of wine is within reach, there is leftover takeout in the fridge, and I've got Season 1 of Parenthood on tap for the rest of the evening.
It's a far cry from New Years past. And I would be lying if I said I didn't entertain a few notions of taking my night up a notch. The most ridiculous one involved me putting on a sparkle outfit, replete with sequined mini skirt, tights, and heels, and having a candle lit dinner with my 18-month-old child. (It's almost embarrassing to admit that.) Luckily I came to my senses and ordered Chinese instead.
Although it would be nice to be sharing tonight with someone who doesn't eat at 5:30pm and call it lights out by 8:00pm (at the latest), for the most part, I'm doing exactly what I wanted to do. Yes, I know I'm lame, and I'm okay with it. But on the plus side of not paying out the you-know-what for a night on the town and then making sure I get my money's worth out of cheap champagne (only to regret it the next morning), I am left with a few hours to really take stock of what 2011 was all about.
Since I wasn't going to hear it tonight, I decided to look up the words to Auld Lang Syne; I never really knew what the words were even though I'm pretty sure I've belted out the chorus like it was my job before. I always thought the message was to not let your past be forgotten, but it turns out that the song really asks a question–whether or not it's right that old times be forgotten. So, really, it assumes that we do forget, but it doesn't really tell us whether it's a tragedy or a blessing. And if I'm going to do my own year in review, I think I'm left with a similar question.
It was a long year. And an oftentimes lonely year. And sometimes just a really hard, total meltdown-worthy year, as I'm sure my mother can attest since I called her at a number of low points in 2011. All of those old times I would certainly like to forget.
But then there were the awesome parts. My baby grew into a little boy this year. So, there were a lot of big firsts to be had–first crawls, first steps, first words. We also had a lot of wonderful adventures along the way, some as far as Europe and some as close as the baby pool in the backyard. And those old times I wouldn't trade for anything. In fact, it hurts my heart to know they're gone.
So, with just a few minutes left before midnight, I think maybe the song says something totally different. I think what it means is that every year has its ups and its downs, things we'll remember for ever and some we wish we could completely undo. We don't have to relive it all or forget it all; instead we can choose what memories to keep dear and near to us and let the others just go. And so as I head into 2012, I think I'll just take the good with me and leave the rest in 2011. Auld Lang Syne!
