But there are times, damn it, when I have to face the public as my scruffy old self. Two weeks ago, I stepped out of my car in front of a Mexican restaurant in Johnson County and was immediately recognized by the manager (an old pal from the 1990s) and one of the servers, whom I've known since she was a bratty preteen. My Rudy Giuliani ensemble should be back from the dry cleaner before I have to go there again.
I never thought about wearing a disguise on the afternoon I walked into the Malay Café with three friends. I hadn't been to this Northland restaurant in more than half a decade. Since I last reviewed it ("Up, Up and Malay," January 17, 2002), the original owner had sold the place and, I'd been told, moved back to Malaysia.
Loretta, Justin, Tyrone and I had barely taken our seats in the narrow dining room when a petite waitress started chatting with me as if we were old friends. I would have sworn that I'd never seen this woman in my life, but I'm wary of doing that anymore (since a complete stranger walked up to me in Indianapolis last year and reminded me that in the 1970s, we had lived together).
"Are you the new owner of this restaurant?" I asked.
No, she told me, she was the former owner of the Malay Café — the one who was supposed to be back in Malaysia. Since 2002, when I'd last spoken to Allison Lim (who ran the restaurant with her husband and her brother-in-law), she'd sold the cozy little bistro to one of her chefs, Shanghai-born Bill Fang, and his wife, June. "But he learned all about Malaysian cooking from working with us," Lim said, "and my brother-in-law still cooks here, too."
Lim had gone back to her home country to spend time with her dying father. When she returned to the states, she wasn't interested in running a restaurant. But she does enjoy helping the Fangs by waiting tables several afternoons a week.
My cover was blown, but fortunately, I had eaten a quiet, anonymous dinner in the restaurant a week earlier. And I can say that the food is just as fine as it was when I first stumbled into the hard-to-find location — sandwiched, nearly invisibly, between a Pier 1 and a HoneyBaked Ham store in a strip mall — five years ago.
But the Fangs need to address some details.
As someone who literally grew up working in the restaurant trade, I've always maintained that a less-than-spotless bathroom usually doesn't bode well for the tidiness of the kitchen. (There are exceptions to this rule, but not many.) That's why I cringed when Wendy, my dining companion on the first visit, returned to our table from the salle de bains and whispered, "This is such a cute little place, but the bathroom is something from a truck stop."
"Don't think about it," I said, trying to soothe her as I ladled herb soup from a big bowl into her white soup bowl. "Think about balance."

Ohhhh I dance with somebody! Dancing... Best drug there is! =D
This may sounds absurd, but its the truth. I assistant teach a special ed. class. I do in home care for 5 developmentally clients, and I am a Burlesque dancer and actress. I do many other types of dancing too lol! But don't take that to mean I'm a professional dancer, I am always learning, but I love it SO MUCH it shows when I'm dancing, and it's hard not to appreciate that, so people often tell me how much they enjoy watching me on stage/dancing. Now if you are going to say one or more of those things is not like the other, you're certainly right! But I am a pretty unique personality. I am sort if a beautiful disaster.....I am extremely family oriented, and that goes just the same for friends that are like family! I have 3 beautiful children that mean everything to me, they make me wish I can live to 120, just so I can be here with them and for them whenever they need me. They are just the most beautiful thing on this earth to me. Every time I look at them I am reminded that there must be some good stuff in me to have helped create such amazing little people :-) I feel an overwhelming need to make people feel safe and happy, at ease... I have a love and appreciation for just about everyone :-) Happy people are useful people. They bring happiness to others that they come in contact with.. And so on and so forth. I think you see where I'm going with this lol :-) I could easily lose a day bopping around the house, dancing and singing at the top off my lungs! And much to the dismay of my neighbors, who lack the accompaniment I hear thru my headphones :-P I am looking for someone with a good, positive, energy. Someone who wants to live in my future tiny cabin in the woods one day when were old, or maybe when I cease to be adorable and sexy (I may actually die that day tho lol ;-)!!! I am very quirky, and sadly self conscious some of the time, one of the biggest reasons i love the stage... When I'm up there i get to be somebody else... To escape my own busy mind for a while. I am gonna put my whole self out there here, and hope for someone who intrigues me... I don't like to play games, so if I like you, I'll tell you, and if I don't I won't. In fact, I have this crazy inability to keep what I really think or feel out of my mouth lol! I talk A LOT, how that doesn't bother you lol, cuz it is not llikely to change ;-) So, if you have a strong personality, a good heart, and a at least somewhat healthy mind, I would love to get to know you!
Camping , Movies/Videos , Music and concerts , Performing arts
Aerobics, Dancing, Football, Running, Swimming, Tennis / Racquet sports, Walking / Hiking, Weights / Machines, Yoga
I exercise 3-4 times per week.
I like Dogs, Fish
A local swimming spot Highland Springs. I LOVE the ocean But I am too scared to get in it! But I am looking to change that lol :-) Love karaoke, any old place!
I love pizza, cheeseburgers and french fries, and STEAK! When I'm not acting like a girl on stage you will probably Find me in my sweat pants playing video games, yes sometimes when My kids aren't even there lol! I love Rockband :-P
I like to take myself to a movie, or float on the water at highland springs :-) I love to just disappear for a day, just stick my headphones in and go :-) I love to do those same things with friends and family too tho:-)

According to the company's "Global Paid Search Spend Analysis" report, the Americas, led by the U.S. and Canada, had spending growth of 39% year over year. In Europe, where economic recovery has been slow, paid search growth rates for the third quarter increased 10% from the same period last year. The greatest growth in paid search spending was in the Asia-Pacific region, with year-over-year growth of 45%. This region is "where major opportunities for paid search exist," according to Covario, although the company expressed caution over signs of a slowdown in China over the last few quarters.

Visakhapatnam Steel Plant has suffered heavy loss for the past eight days due to a serious snag that developed in blast furnace-II Krishna, according to press release issued by the recognised union.
D. Adinarayana and N. Rama Rao, president and general secretary Visakha Steel Workers' Union, said on Saturday that the loss would be around Rs.100 crore. They said the management should order an inquiry into the issue and punish the officials responsible for the loss.
The union alleged that all attempts to restart the furnace had yielded no result so far and the management was not in a position to state when normalcy in production could be restored.
The union said that no precautions had been taken in operating the furnace and lapses had resulted in the metal getting frozen in the furnace. The management was totally indifferent and negligent and it should explain to the government and the public the reason for the heavy loss, Mr. Adinarayana and Mr. Rama Rao said.
In a separate statement, CITU leader V. Dhanaraju said the problem arose following rainwater entering the plant. He said the private contractor engaged for cleanup and repair failed in discharging his responsibility due to lack of supervision.

Vintage lamp--can you identify?
My grandfather gave me this lamp in the early 1970's. It was purchased at auction, and appeared to be old, even then. It's very heavy, and quite worn. We have rewired it, and other than adding a new harp, which can be removed, haven't altered it. Can anyone tell me what style it is, who made it, and when? Thanks for your help.
Here is a link that might be useful: vintage lamp
Looks oriental, which doesn't help because they've been making brass things for a long time.
Unless you find a maker's mark, or a picture of it in a reference book, you are the owner of a brass lamp that is at least 40years old, maybe more.

His body also was like beryl, his face had the appearance of lightning, his eyes were like flaming torches, his arms and feet like the gleam of polished bronze, and the sound of his words like the sound of a tumult. Now I, Daniel, alone saw the vision, while the men who were with me did not see the vision; nevertheless, a great dread fell on them, and they ran away to hide themselves. So I was left alone and saw this great vision; yet no strength was left in me, for my natural color turned to a deathly pallor, and I retained no strength. ...

Small team rebuilds an antique barn near Lake Lillian
LAKE LILLIAN — Doug Gorans has undertaken the massive project of renovating an antique barn on his farm near Lake Lillian to store his tractors from the same era.
The barn was sitting on an old family farm near Svea for close to 70 years before Gorans had the structure moved to his property.
"Building a new barn would have been much simpler," Gorans said.

النشرة األلكترونية كنعان Kana'an – The e-Bulletin Volume VII – Issue 1351 30 November 2007 In this Issue: Critique of the Arab Left: On Palestine and Arab Unity, by Hisham Bustani. A Chronology of the Zionist Colonial Project: Zionism and the Arabs: Part 1/6, by Nizar Sakhnini http://www.kanaanonline.org/articles/01001.pdf Critique of the Arab Left: On Palestine and Arab Unity ** by Hisham Bustani * The situation of the Arab Left is similar to "the phenomenon of the transformation of the Left" on the global scale and a reflection of it. The reason is simple: the Arab Left, as a general rule though with some exceptions, was never a "Left" in the dialectical materialist sense. It has always been a reserved, conservative entity, "reactionary" rather than proactive, "importing" theory rather than producing it, adhering to the "letter of the text" (mainly the text of the Soviet policy!) rather than being an innovative critical thinker. Below I attempt to dissect the main weaknesses of the Arab Left, as well as the obstacles it faced, and discuss whether there really was an Arab Left at all. This is of special importance since, coming from a Marxist position itself, criticism will help in evolving a revolutionary Left again in the Arab region and the world. Under the British and French occupation, the division of al-Mashreq al-Arabi (the Arab East, divided by colonialists into the states we know today as Syria, Lebanon, Palestine, Jordan, and Iraq) took place for many objective reasons: (a) "Divide and Rule," a doctrine that is a well-known mechanism for depriving people of the power to change and diverting their political energy into internal channels (channels within the manufactured benign system), thus facilitating the job of the occupier and tremendously -1- Kana'an e-Bulletin كنعان ـ النشرة االلكترونية A Quarterly Review www.kanaanonline.org جملة فكرية ثقافية impeding any effort towards unifying the Arab masses -- the only mechanism that can lead to the defeat of imperialism. Also through this doctrine, colonialist occupation will have a "new function" to undertake as it transforms its image and presumable function from an oppressor to a buffer between internal divisions, a trick that makes the occupation a "necessity." (b) Pave the way for the implantation of an imperialist base, a functional entity that can serve imperialism and comprise a material barrier between the Eastern and Western wings of the Arab space. Let us not forget that the greatest attempts for an Arab liberation project started by uniting the Eastern and Western sides of the Arab homeland -- Syria and Egypt. That was the case with Saladin, who united Damascus and Egypt in 1174, paving the way for ending the Crusader Kingdom of Jerusalem in 1187. It was also the case with Mohammed Ali Pasha (1769- 1848), known for his industrialization and modernization plan to establish a strong state in the Arab region. He united Egypt and Syria and was forced to eliminate his project by the British and Austrian naval attacks. And then Nasser (1918-1970), in his attempt to set up a truly independent sovereign Arab state, also succeeded in unifying Egypt and Syria as a backbone for an Arab unity, but for many reasons, the unity lasted only for less than three years, from 1958 to1961. (c) Keep these manufactured "states" under continuous subordination to imperialism, since it is impossible to achieve liberation on the level of the manufactured state (lack of resources to establish independent development and lack of political and popular depth to support a liberation project are among other objective reasons for its impossibility). The climax of the colonialist drive for division and maintenance of the state of subordination was the establishment and legitimization of the Zionist entity (Israel): a racist colonial-settler entity organically and functionally attached to the imperialist powers. There is no objective reason whatsoever that might convince a leftist to acknowledge and accept the establishment of such an entity; on the contrary, the logic of Marxist theory and its developments concretely leads to conclusions against such an acknowledgement. There is an exception, of course, and that is the case of a Left that is completely mechanical and under the influence of a center that acts more like a superpower than a revolutionary center. The Soviet Union accepted the U.N.-sponsored Partition Plan of 1947, thus accepting the material manifestation of the Zionist/imperialist project in the Arab region. Subsequently, almost all Arab Communist Parties accepted what the Soviets agreed to without any critical objection! Moreover, there are reports that the Syrian Communist Party, (the most mature of the Arab Communist Parties at the time), having printed its paper with headlines in objection to the proposed Partition Plan, had to throw all that batch in the garbage and print another edition with a reverse position after the Soviet agreement to the plan! From that point on, Arab Communist Parties had to become a sort of "devil's advocate," defending the existence of "Israel," and fabricating/promoting all sorts of theories about a "unity of the Arab and Jewish working class" in Palestine. That was and remains a theoretical joke that demanded the unity of the oppressed and occupied with their colonial-settler occupiers and oppressors under the banner of "working-class unity" against imperialism!! -2- Kana'an e-Bulletin كنعان ـ النشرة االلكترونية A Quarterly Review www.kanaanonline.org جملة فكرية ثقافية Palestinian Communists formed "united" parties composed of Arabs and colonialist-settler Zionists, self-proclaimed Communists, while other Arab Communists maintained a close relationship and sought to coordinate with this Zionist "Left" and still do today. On March 2006, the Jordanian Communist Party held a coordination meeting with the Israeli Communist Party in Amman, an example of many that may have taken place unbeknownst to others over the years. Yet that meeting, not so strangely, was even a subject of boast in the JCP's official newspaper! While it is strange enough to be a "Communist" and an "Israeli" at the same time, the two parties obviously had no political conflict, since both of them promote the notion that the occupation of Arab land (1948-occupied land) and the establishing of a functional racist colonial-settler entity on that land is just and acceptable, provided the Zionists give back part of the land (occupied later in 1967) for the Palestinians to establish a fragmented totally subordinate "state," the so-called "two-state solution," an unjust proposal for ending the Arab- Zionist struggle that is used for maintaining the status quo through a never-ending "peace process" and pushing the entire world to accept injustice (Israel) as a normal legitimate state of affairs. Both the JCP and the ICP agree on this solution as their strategy, a coincidence that links them up with the mainstream political agenda globally. Even the U.S. and "Israeli" governments seem to be hooked on the "two-state solution," a strange agreement with "Communist" strategy! It is ironic that, although Arab Communists were keen on coordinating and forming unified fronts with "Israeli Communists," a similar effort was not undertaken towards Iranian and Turkish Communists, despite the fact that, unlike "Israelis," the people of Iran and Turkey are the historic neighbors of Arabs, and they are an integral ally, and an integral part of an anti- imperialist anti-Zionist struggle. Some of the Arab Communists were pioneers in crafting terms like "political sensibility" and "understanding the balance of powers." Such terms have become part of the theoretical arsenal for parties and regimes alike who no longer wanted to "liberate Palestine" but rather to follow whatever the Israel/USA couple would put forward, an endeavor that has led us to the pathetic result we see today in Palestine. The Communists, under the influence of the Soviets, were also the first to accept U.N. Security Council Resolution 242 that further establishes "Israel" as a legitimate state, ordering Arabs to forget about their land occupied before 1967 and terming only Arab land occupied after 1967 as "occupied territories" (under the UN banner, there was no occupation before 1967 -- history does not exist before that year). The Soviet Union tried to push everybody to accept resolution 242. Mjalli Nasrawin, head of the International Relations Department of the Ba'ath Party and member of its National Leadership Board during the 1960s, reports that, in November 1969, the Soviet ambassador in Syria, Nuradin Mukhitdinov, demanded that the party (ruling Syria at that time) accept Resolution 242. Nasrawin recalls that weeks later the party received a letter signed by the Soviet leadership troika Brezhnev, Podgorny, and Kosygin, stating that the Soviets consider the decision not to accept Resolution 242 on Palestine a threat to global peace and that, if the current Ba'th party leadership did not accept this resolution, the Soviets would cease all support for them. -3- Kana'an e-Bulletin كنعان ـ النشرة االلكترونية A Quarterly Review www.kanaanonline.org جملة فكرية ثقافية The Ba'th Party leadership did not have to wait long to experience the Soviet cessation of support. In of the 10th Extraordinary National Party Conference in late 1970, Hafez el-Assad (then the Minister of Defense and leading a pro-242 faction in the Ba'th Party) was voted out of office. Nasrawin recalls that al-Assad immediately left the conference and staged a military coup. Within hours, the Soviet Ambassador met with party leader Salah Jdeid and informed him that, if he accepted Resolution 242, the Soviets would back the leadership of the party; otherwise the Soviets would not intervene. Jdeid refused, and within hours Hafez al-Assad declared "the corrective movement," his epithet for his military coup against the leadership of his own Ba'th party. Party leaders were all arrested and ended up serving 20-years-plus in jail. Mjalli Nasrawin was released after serving 23 years in prison. Other leaders were not so lucky. Salah Jdeid and Noor ed-Din Atasi left prison for their graves. It is worth mentioning that the ousted Ba'th Party leadership in 1970 was the democratic progressive leftist element, refusing to eliminate al-Asad and his faction militarily, despite previous knowledge of his intentions, and promoting the necessity of a Marxist theory and practice to become the strategy of the party, as opposed to romantic socialism/nationalism promoted by other factions. If these were the Soviet demands and pressures on the Ba'th Party, one can imagine their demands and pressures on the Arab Communist Parties regarding the issue of Palestine, the central issue of Arab liberation. The Arab Communist Parties are not the only ones to blame for their lack of vision and analysis. Self-proclaimed Marxist organizations had also moved away in their strategy from liberation to "two states." Those are the Democratic Front for the Liberation of Palestine (DFLP) and the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP). The DFLP was a pioneer in proposing "stages" in the struggle for liberation. This paved the way for strategic concessions being portrayed as "necessary stages" in the struggle. The PFLP, having a much more progressive position, and being at the forefront of military resistance at one time in the history of struggle, took some time before it also withdrew into the rhetoric of "stages" and "two states," now their official political line. It is clearly seen now (with some exceptions) that the organized Arab Left -- Communist Parties, the PFLP, and the DFLP -- have all succumbed to "political rationality" and detached themselves from an uncompromising objective theory and struggle, paving the way for the rise of Islamist organizations that still insist on "liberation" and "refusal to acknowledge the legitimacy of the Zionist entity" and practice armed resistance at the same time. Another major mistake of the Arab Communists was their lack of clarity on the issue of Arab unity. Being a peculiar case in history, Arabs moved directly from the stage of a 600-year-long Ottoman oppression before WWI to the stage of colonialist occupation and division following WWI. It is elementary that fragmentation is a tool of subordination: this is true of the working class (thus the call for unity of the workers), and it is also true of fragmented people who have yet to acquire their national existence, for whom a classical capitalist social structure with its relevant class structure is far from being an objective reality. It is only simple sense that a call for the divided Arab toilers to unite in the struggle against Zionism and imperialism, and against the subordinate client Arab regimes that safeguard this division, breaking the colonialist-drawn division lines, should have been a priority for the Arab Left. -4- Kana'an e-Bulletin كنعان ـ النشرة االلكترونية A Quarterly Review www.kanaanonline.org جملة فكرية ثقافية While Arab Communists, driven by a metaphysical Arab-Zionist "workers' unity" plan, were far away from the main struggle, making no actual effort on the issue of Arab unity as a main propeller for a successful confrontation, pan-Arabist organizations started to evolve into Marxism, proving objectively that Arab unity must have a class nature, must adopt Socialism to accomplish liberation, and must be an anti-chauvinist, all- encompassing secular effort for all the oppressed people in the Arab region. In this sense, the influential Arab Nationalists Movement of the 1950s gave life to the Marxist PFLP, and the Ba'th Party evolved a progressive leftist leadership in Syria ousted by the 1970 right-wing military coup. The Arab Communists' position on Palestine and Arab unity, a product of mechanical subordination to the Soviet center and lack of critical theory and analysis, is solid proof that a "Left" was never born in the classical Communist Parties. In fact, those parties hindered and sometimes fought against critical thinkers who came from within the establishment. This long history has prepared the road to NGO transition for many Communists and Communist Parties in the Arab region, following the "liberal wave" on the global Left after the fall of the Berlin Wall and the elimination of the Soviet Union, the political godfather of the Arab Communist Parties. (Of course, exceptions, like the Lebanese Communist Party, still exist, but the argument concerns general phenomena.) Furthermore, following this line of history will also temper the sense of astonishment that might arise from seeing the collaboration of the Iraqi Communist Party with the U.S. occupiers, and their integration within the occupation- dominated political process, while being backed by other Arab Communist Parties like the Jordanian CP. It is only logical that the Arab Left is a very weak entity at the moment, divided between two main camps: 1. A classical Communist camp that continues along the political line of its predecessor, with "liberal" additions: promoting a "two-state" solution in Palestine, having a deep faith in imperialist-imposed "democratic processes" such as the one in post-occupation Iraq, joining the agendas of NGOs and accepting their funding, and fighting for its own political existence rather than a political program and ideology. This line is deeply rooted in historical organization (of Communist Parties and similar structures); 2. A critical neo-Marxist camp that, although present and active, is unorganized and divided, mainly because it is comprised of individuals who left the classical official structures without finding an alternative or building one. Although I don't like the term personally, and prefer the term "Unity Left," the critical neo- Marxist camp is often referred to as "Nationalist Left," opposed to the liberal "Democratic Left" (a malformed equivalent of Europe's Social Democrats) or the classical "Communist Left." This new critical Left has clear views on (a) Palestine -- the core of the Arab liberation struggle and not a mere Palestinian-Israeli conflict, an uncompromised struggle for existence between the Arab liberation project and the -5- Kana'an e-Bulletin كنعان ـ النشرة االلكترونية A Quarterly Review www.kanaanonline.org جملة فكرية ثقافية Zionist/imperialist project, cannot be resolved by "political processes" and cannot be resolved by maintaining a Zionist entity on any part of Arab land; (b) Iraq -- not recognizing U.S. occupation and any political process that follows from it); (c) Resistance -- unconditional support to all forms of resistance, including armed resistance; (d) Unity of the Arab struggle -- the impossibility of liberation on the level of the weak, subordinate colonially-manufactured current Arab state. (e) Necessity of forming anti-Imperialist fronts based on clear political strategies with forces that share this approach though not particularly leftist (like Islamists, nationalists, etc.). Through a polarization between those two camps -- an effort that should extend globally on the basis of political clarity -- a new radical, militant, clear and revolutionary Left can be born, and again become a key player in the liberation process, in the Arab region, and the world. _____________ * Hisham Bustani is the Secretary of the Socialist Thought Forum in Jordan, and a member of the Coordination Committee of the Resistant Arab People's Alliance.

P. Scott, the editor of the Manchester Guardian, stating "Should Palestine fall within the British sphere of influence, and should Britain encourage a Jewish settlement there, as a British dependency, we could have in twenty to thirty years a million Jews out there, perhaps more. They would develop the country, bring back civilization to it and form a very effective guard for the Suez Canal". 1917, 2 November: The Balfour Declaration, promising support for a "Jewish National Home in Palestine ", was issued by the British Secretary of State Balfour. The declaration was endorsed by the U.S. Congress in 1922 and was incorporated into the British Mandate in Palestine. 1919: The Zionists asked the Paris Peace Conference to provide them with the territory outlined within a line running east from Sidon in Lebanon to a point South-East of Damascus. The line then goes south along a line parallel to the Hijaz railway and ends in Aqaba in Jordan. From there, the line goes northwest to Al Arish in Egypt. This area included all of Mandate Palestine, the Golan Heights, both sides of the Jordan River, and southern Lebanon up to the Litani River. 1919 – 1923: A 3rd wave of 40,000 Jewish émigrés arrived in Palestine. 1921, March: The Haganah, a Zionist underground military organization was founded. 1923: Vladimir (Ze"ev) Jabotinsky published two articles calling for the erection of an iron wall of Jewish military force in order to impose "peaceful" coexistence between Arabs and Jews. 1924 – 1929: A 4th wave of 82,000 Jewish émigrés arrived in Palestine. 1925: Jabotinsky formed the World Union of Zionist Revisionists and the youth movement Betar. He later on seceded from the official Zionist movement, established the New Zionist Organization, and took over the leadership of the military organization, the Irgun. 1931: A group of Haganah members seceded from the organization and established the Irgun Zvai Leumi (IZL) advocating a more militant policy against Palestinian Arabs. 1935: - Ben-Gurion was elected chairman of the Jewish Agency Executive (JAExec) and held this post until 1948. 1929 – 1939: A 5th wave of 250,000 Jewish émigrés arrived in Palestine. 1937, August: The 20th ZC decided to accept the British Peel Commission proposal for partition of Palestine as a basis for negotiation with the British government. A "Population Transfer Committee" was appointed by the Jewish Agency (JA) to come up with plans to rid the "Jewish State" of its Palestinian Arabs. Yosef Weitz, director of the JNF, who served on the Population Transfer Committee, developed a plan for this purpose. -8- Kana'an e-Bulletin كنعان ـ النشرة االلكترونية A Quarterly Review www.kanaanonline.org جملة فكرية ثقافية 1938: The report of the British Woodhead Commission concluded that a voluntary "transfer" is not going to happen and compulsory transfer of population was ruled out. The Zionist leadership believed that the Zionists had to exert pressure to force the British to act. But if necessary, David Ben Gurion wrote in his diary, "We must ourselves prepare to carry out the removal of the Palestinians". In a report to the JAExec on 12 June 1938, Ben-Gurion stated "I am for a compulsory transfer; I don"t see anything immoral in it..." 1938, June: British officer Orde Wingate organized Special Night Squads of British and Haganah personnel for operation against Palestinian villages. 1939, October: Differences of opinion emerged in the Irgun and led to a split in the organization and the establishment of the new organization Irgun Zvai Leumi Beisrael, which became to be known as the Lohamei Herut Yisrael (Lehi). 1939 – 1948: A 6th wave of 150,000 Jewish émigrés arrived in Palestine. 1940: Yossef Weitz, head of the settlement department of the JNF, wrote the following: "Transfer does not serve only one aim – to reduce the Arab population – it also serves a second purpose by no means less important, which is to evict land now cultivated by Arabs and to free it for Jewish settlement". Therefore, he concluded, "The solution is to transfer the Arabs from here to neighbouring countries. Not a single village or a single tribe must be let off". 1940, Dec. 20: Yosef Weitz wrote in his diary: "It must be clear that there is no room in the country for both peoples…If the Arabs leave it, the country will become wide and spacious for us…The only solution is a Land of Israel, at least a western Land of Israel without Arabs. There is no room here for compromises…There is no way but to transfer the Arabs from here to the neighboring countries, to transfer all of them, save perhaps for [the Arabs of] Bethlehem, Nazareth and old Jerusalem. Not one village must be left, not one [bedouin] tribe. The transfer must be directed at Iraq, Syria and even Transjordan. For this goal funds will be found…And only after this transfer will the country be able to absorb millions of our brothers and the Jewish problem will cease to exist…" 1941: Palmach, the Haganah"s strike force, was formed. 1942, 9-11 May: The first national conference of American Zionists was held at the Biltmore Hotel in New York. The conference adopted the "Biltmore Program", which called for the establishment of a Jewish commonwealth in Palestine. 1944, 16 October: A confidential report was submitted by Roberto Bachi, an expert in demography, to the Haganah and the JA. In this report, Bachi proposed Arab "transfer" to ensure "Jewish majority". 1945, September: Large-s ca le illegal Jewish immigration into Palestine resumed under Haganah control. -9- Kana'an e-Bulletin كنعان ـ النشرة االلكترونية A Quarterly Review www.kanaanonline.org جملة فكرية ثقافية 1946, 22 July: A wing of the King David Hotel in Jerusalem, which housed the Government Secretariat and part of the military headquarters, was blown up by the IZL killing and wounding about 150 Government officials. 1946, August: The JAExec agreed to consider the establishment of a Jewish state on an adequate part of Palestine. ____________ Please write to us or send your contributions to: email@example.com.

I am writing my own blog (every one should, it's good experience). I have implemented Atom and RSS feeds, and they are used by a number of readers. Most of those readers are using Google Reader, who at the moment polls my site regularly for updates.
I would like to setup a publish Subscribe (PubSubHubbub) option as documented here, and I would like to serve as my own hub, that is integrated the hub protocol into the app as opposed to having a separate thing to maintain or relying on a third party.
My questions are:
- If I do this which feed reading services will use this protocol in preference to polling?
- What do I need to implement on my end to get this up and running?

Matt Damon Plays Charades With A Chihuahua Named Halle Berry
It was on Univision, and it's just as absurdly wonderful as it sounds. Did I mention Halle Berry's wearing a super cute dress?!
1. This is Matt Damon on a Univision morning show, playing a lively game of Spanish charades.
He did pretty well, actually.
2. Oh, and did I mention that he was joined by Halle Berry, a very well-dressed Chihuahua?
3. Needless to say, the whole game was a pretty magical event.
4. In case you're wondering, Halle Berry has met Halle Berry. They talk on the phone now. (BFFs!)
It's kinda true, though. Halle Berry the pup used to be named Honey, and was renamed after she met the Queen Berry.
5. Halle Berry also has a pretty fantastic Twitter page, where she posts all of her celeb exploits.
Get it, girl!
6. In the words of Matt Damon: "It's been great having Halle Berry sit on my lap."

It's hard to overshadow style icon Sarah Jessica Parker on the red carpet, but one star managed to do just that on Monday night.
Christina Hendricks had all eyes on her at the screening of SJP's new flick, "I Don't Know How She Does It," in New York City, when she showed up in a pink satin Vivienne Westwood number that enhanced her already ample cleavage.
PHOTOS: Who else has crazy cleavage?
The curvaceous redhead paired her daring dress with diamonds on her ears and wrists.
PHOTOS: Hendricks and other stars who are natural blondes
The "Mad Men" actress recently revealed it's "bizarre" that "people are constantly asking if [her] breasts are real or fake."
In an interview with the Daily Mail, Hendricks, 36, said her famous assets are "so obviously real that anyone who's ever seen or touched a breast would know."

The biggest western juniper.
John Muir observed that the western juniper "dies standing, and wastes insensibly out of existence like granite." In fact, many junipers also exhibit granitic durability in life, rivaling the bristlecone pines in longevity. These stout and sturdy trees, twisted and stunted like bonsai by the unforgiving elements of the Sierra Nevada, seem more like geologic extrusions than living organisms.
The champion western juniper was named after Clarence Bennett, a naturalist who devoted much of his life to the study of this species. Aside from its recognition as the biggest western juniper, the Bennett juniper is a tree of many superlatives. It ranks 14th, in points, among all champion trees. Only seven champions have a greater girth. It is one of the four surviving members of the first National Register of Big Trees, established in 1940. And it is probably the oldest champion of them all. Estimates of its age vary from 3,000 to 6,000 years old. A fallen branch only three inches in diameter contained 550 annual rings. It took 700-1,000 years for the tree to add the outer foot of its 13-foot diameter.
Of all the storms, fires, and droughts this old patriarch has weathered in over a million days of stubborn existence, none could compare to the modern threat of axes and chain saws. Thankfully, in 1978 rancher and owner Joe Martin donated the Bennett juniper and three acres surrounding it to the Nature Conservancy. Since then, protectorship has been passed on to the Save-the-Redwoods League which continues to ensure that our oldest champion tree will endure like granite for centuries to come.
Common Name Western Juniper Scientific Name Juniperus occidentalis Location Stanislaus National Forest, Calif. Nominator J.R. Hall Owner Save-the-Redwoods League Most Recent Measurement 1983 Circumference at 4 1/2 feet 480 in. Height 86 ft. Crown Spread 58 ft. Total Points 581

Idearc Media partners with TurnHere and Denver MultiMedia to access stable of videographers.
Local search and directory service SuperPages.com is expanding its ability to offer online video advertising to clients by bringing in two companies that specialize in creating the ads, TurnHere and Denver MultiMedia.
Owned by Idearc Media, SuperPages.com lays claim to 18 million small-to-medium-sized business listings in the United States, and began testing a video advertising system for its clients in July, a service it then made fully available in October. Now the company has signed with TurnHere and Denver MultiMedia to access their armies of videographers, who can visit businesses and create videos for them, according to Jannie Luong, a spokesperson for Idearc.
"We will leverage both professional filmmaker networks to produce broadcast-quality online videos," she said. ""Both companies will begin producing videos that showcase a local merchant's products and services for SuperPages.com advertisers."
Local business search firms are increasingly augmenting their local business ads with online videos to not only bring in customers, but to compete with other search engines. In addition to SuperPages, Yellow Book USA, Citysearch and others have begun offering video ads. Increasingly those company have also turned to video production houses to capitalize on their expertise and staff in creating the ads.
By partnering, TurnHere and Denver MultiMedia can reap the benefits of Superpages' network while they focus on production, said Bradley Inman, founder and CEO of TurnHere.
"SuperPages has reach, a sales force and customer base. They will reach out to their customer base and be selling them our video," he said. "But the bigger business story is these giants like Superpages are making major commitments to video. Video has a place at the table it never had before."

Albuquerque, New Mexico, USA Country
The Refurbished Z machine, ZR, has 3 distinct
missions. The first is to increase the capability for the user
community by providing higher peak currents. The
second is to increase the precision by increasing pulse
repeatability and pulse shape flexibility. The third is to
increase the capacity by providing operational turn-
around time consistent with conducting a shot per shift.
The pursuit of the third mission relies heavily on the
reliability of the components and well defined
maintenance cycles. To test the performance of the ZR
design, a system assessment module has been tested and
found to meet the capability mission.
The system assessment module will be used to test
the reliability of the components comprising the ZR
pulsed power modules. To assess the program goal of 1
failure in 50 ZR shots we plan to perform 7200 shots of
the system assessment module, Z20. At a typical shot rate,
this task would take approximately three years. To
minimize the impact on the facility while obtaining the
required reliability data, the system will be configured to
fire and reset autonomously with the ultimate goal of un-
manned operation.
A systems approach was developed using National
Instruments LabVIEW ® software and Field Point I/O
hardware. All communications between subsystems are
provided via ethernet using fiber optic media converters.
The major subsystems for operating the module which
will be described are the gas pressure and purge, high
voltage power supplies, oil diverter operation, triggering,
precision monitoring of Marx system, personnel access
control and remote operation of the laser trigger system.
Sandia's Z accelerator completed original construction
in 1985 as PBFA II. The center portion was modified in
1996, converting from a high voltage to a

States Department of Energy's National Nuclear Security Administration under contract number DE-AC04-

high current configuration to drive z-pinch loads. The
environments created have enabled critical experiments
that address many Stockpile Stewardship and High
Energy Density Physics Program needs. Z has since
grown into a multifaceted workhorse facility. At more
than 1000 shots after what was supposed to be a
provisional modification to assess scaling of z-pinch
current, users are asking that Z be a stable, precision
platform for a large number and variety of reliable,
reproducible experiments. Much of Z was not optimized
for z-pinch applications nor designed for the rigors of
daily use at today's 18MA output level.
The success of z-pinch applications has brought many
operational challenges to the facility. Demand for Z shots
exceeds capability by more than a factor of two. Z has
become a workhorse for weapons physics and weapons
effects programs as a more recent role in critical material
properties and equation of state research. In keeping with
its identity as a workhorse, ZR is committed to be a
stable, precision platform for reliable, reproducible
experiments. This objective is reflected in the
requirements for ZR: to enable the facility to routinely
support a 400 shot per year program. This extrapolates to
component and system reliability such that no more than 1
in 50 shots leads to a loss of experimental results or leads
to a slip in shot schedule due to accelerator failure. One
challenge is the verification of this reliability specification
on a single module. It was determined that approximately
7200 shots on a single module would demonstrate the "no
more than 1 in 50 shot loss" functional requirement for
the full 36 module ZR. At an average shot rate, it is
estimated this testing would take 3 years. By automating
the Z20 module, it is expected the reliability data can be
obtained in less than half that time.
Page 2
The pulsed power for ZR is based on pulsed power
technology previously developed at Sandia of Marx
generators, water insulated
transmission lines, vacuum magnetically insulated
transmission lines (MITL), and post-hole convolutes. Z20
is the oil and water sections of one module of the full 36
module ZR. Previously, the circuit modeling was
successfully validated during the System Assessment Test
Program (SATPro). Now the goal of the Z20 automation
task is to assess the reliability specification of the
components in Z20.
The Z20 module is comprised of a 60-stage, 100-kV,
43nF Marx generator charging a 26nF, 100ns
Intermediate Storage Water Capacitor (ISC) to a peak
voltage of approximately 5.5 MV in about 1.2 μs. See
Figure 1. Figure 2 shows a view of the pulse forming and
switching components. A Laser Triggered Rimfire Gas
pulse forming and
Switch (LTS) switches the ISC into a 2.6Ω, 45ns long
coaxial pulse forming line (PFL) in approximately 200 ns.
The negatively charged PFL is switched via water
switches into a 4.2Ω, 35ns tri-plate transmission line
(OTL1). Pre-pulse/peaking switches are located between
the output of OTL1 and a 6.4Ω, 50ns transmission line
(OTL2). For the purpose of assessing the system, OTL2
is terminated in eight parallel liquid resistors made of a
Sodium Thiosulfate water solution.
To correctly and efficiently assess the system, extensive
diagnostics are featured. Current and voltage monitors
are co-located in the input and output positions on the
Marx Bank, ISC and PFL, as well as numerous positions
on the output transmission lines. Current viewing
resistors (CVRs) measured the current through each of the
eight liquid resistors constituting the resistive dummy
load for the system, allowing for an assessment of current
uniformity along the output transmission line

A. Control System Topology
A systems approach to automation was developed
which uses National Instruments LabVIEW ® software
and Field Point I/O hardware as the basis for this design.
The system includes hardware and software to sequence
and monitor the operation of the SF6, Laser Trigger, HV
Power Supplies, and the PLC for interlocks, oil diverter,
isolation and energy dump relay functions. The system
also includes a precision voltage measurement system for
the measurement of the Marx voltage before and after the
activation of the HV power supply isolation relays. The
Control System uses five fiber optic Ethernet links to
communicate with the remote subsystems from a Control
Computer located in a shielded control room. This
minimizes the possibility of ground loops and induced
voltages and/or currents from affecting communications
and systems operation. The Control Computer includes
watchdog timer hardware to automatically disable the HV
interlocks in the event of a computer hardware or software
system failure. A block diagram of the Z20 Automated
Control system is contained in Figure 3.
B. Control System Topology
The control computer system also includes a network
interface to the existing data acquisition computer which
provides the analysis and validation of the shot data
channels. The control system software implementation
consists of the pre shot sequence, the repetitive shot state
machine and the system shutdown sequence. The pre shot
sequence allows for the entry of the sequence control
parameters, changes the subsystems to remote operating
mode and sets the SF6 operating pressures. The shot
sequence state machine then performs the repetitive shots.
This state machine includes steps for checking the laser
status, preparing the data acquisition system for a shot,
performing the machine charging and firing, purging the
SF6 subsystems, obtaining the data review results from the
data acquisition computer and preparing the shot charge
cycle report. Upon the completion of all shots in the
sequence, the system shutdown sequence returns the SF6
and PLC systems to the local mode.
Figure 3
C. Z20 Hardware Subsystems
Subsystems that have been implemented are as follows:
All SF6 gas functions for Marx, LASER
Switch, MTG and TG-125 components.
These include controlling and monitoring
pressures, purging and venting.
All high voltage power supplies (MARX,
MTG and TG-125 Trigger Generator).
Oil Diverter operation.
Machine triggering (firing).
Precision monitoring of the MARX charge
voltages (+ and -).
Remote operation of the LTS (LASER
Trigger System). Including ball valve
operation to isolate the LTS system in case
of internal oil seal failure.
Access control to prevent personnel access
to any dangerous areas of the accelerator.
Includes warning beacons and horns in the
high bay.

1) Gas System
The first subsystem to be remotely operated was the
SF6 Gas system. Since a manual system (which needs to
be maintained for manual operation and testing) had been
installed several years ago, it was necessary to provide a
parallel system for the remote operation for controlling
and monitoring pressures, venting and purging these
subsystems. Pressure regulators were purchased which
allowed remote setting and monitoring of the pressures.
Additional 3-way valves were necessary to allow
switching between local and remote operation.
2) Marx Charging System
Next was the implementation of the MARX charging
and triggering supplies. Again, these subsystems were
not procured with options to allow remote control,
therefore major modifications were made to allow these
remote operation and monitoring functions. These
subsystems were interfaced with Field Point I/O for
communications of control and monitor signals. Control
of the TG125 trigger generator is remotely controlled
using the existing Allen Bradley PLC. This PLC
communicates to the shield room via fiber optic ethernet
A critical parameter in the testing of the Z20 system
is the actual charge voltage on the MARX capacitors.
There are two voltages required for this charging, both
positive and negative. A subsystem was designed and
installed which allowed the monitoring of these voltages
using a precision high voltage divider along with high
resolution digital voltmeters which can be read remotely.
These signals are converted from GPIB to Ethernet and
transmitted to the shield room via fiber optic links. These
voltages are displayed and recorded with the main control
3) Oil Diverter
The Oil Diverter system, which is a high voltage safety
subsystem, operates through the PLC. Other functions
performed by the existing PLC are safety interlocks and
enabling signals for the high voltage power supplies. E-
stop functions are also detected by the PLC and provide
notification that an E-stop button has been activated.
These functions will be a part of the area personnel access
control system.
4) Personnel Access
Personnel access control is being implemented using
an existing access control system installed previously for
several accelerators used in this high bay. Links are being
designed and installed for operation with the Z20 testing.
If any of the access control gates are breached, or an E-
stop button is activated, the system will shut down
operation immediately and notify security as well as
operations personnel.
5) Laser Trigger System
The Laser Trigger System (LTS), which is the fast
triggering system for the gas switch, is controlled and
monitored via fiber optic links to and from the shield
room. These functions are for checking the alignment of
the laser beam on the switch and making adjustments as
necessary for proper triggering of the switch. Fast
triggering of the laser is accomplished using fiber optic
links deriving fast timing signals from the shield room.
The Laser Trigger System uses a Tempest Nd:YAG
laser to trigger the gas switch. Software was developed to
provide interactive control of the laser and to operate the
4 piezoelectric motors used on the 2 mirror mounts during
the laser system alignment process. The software
operates in two different modes. In the manual alignment
mode, the position of the laser beam can be interactively
changed while viewing the alignment image on the
computer monitor. In the automated mode, the image is
captured and archived as part of the test data. The image
is used to verify the laser firing functionality but is not
used to automatically define a new laser beam position.
The basic topology for an automated terawatt pulsed
power facility has been implemented. To date, a series of
6 sequential shots, at full machine voltage has been
accomplished using the new system. These shot sequence
was done with qualified operators observing in the event
manual intervention was necessary. The series of testing
for the control system is for a full up testing of the
automated Z20 facility. In deference to present safety
procedures, a qualified operator will be present. As we
gain confidence in the control system, unmanned
operation will be pursued. It is anticipated that full
autonomous operation will be functional within the next
few months.
