Over the past two months, New York's Classic Stage Company has presented a remarkable pair of plays in repertory, offering two authentic, yet very different, accounts of life in Nazi Germany. Race is Ferdinand Brucker's astonishing 1933 frontline report, which prophesied the increasing persecution of the Jews (the author left Germany shortly before writing the play). I Will Bear Witness is a one-man show, adapted by Karen Malpede and George Bartenieff from Victor Klemperer's diaries, recounting his daily existence from 1942-45 as a Jew in Dresden married to an Aryan woman. The productions shared scenic and costume designers (Neil Patel and Angela Wendt respectively), but each had its own dedicated lighting designer--Russell Champa for Race and Tony Giovannetti for Witness--which was all to the good, given their wildly differing assignments.
Race is a vast mural of a play, portraying the swift collapse of civility and values in the face of the Nazi rise to power. The central character is Peter Karlanner, a young medical student who lives with Helene Marx, a Jewish woman. Almost instantly, Peter is under pressure to join the Party and denounce Helene. As Peter's individual will gives way to the Nazi mentality, the disasters around him multiply, most notably the horrific beating and public humiliation of his Jewish friend Nathan Siegelmann. By the time that Peter understands the full force of the evil around him, Helene has escaped, and they are destined to be forever separated.
Race began and ended with a tight pinspot on Peter's handsome, yet passive, face. Between those moments, however, lighting designer Russell Champa provided an extremely multifaceted design. Champa says that he and director Barry Edelstein "agreed that we wanted the show to feel and look as different as possible. I interpreted that to mean I should approach each scene with its own individual idea." The scenes in Helene's apartment were relatively dark and intimate, although, Champa notes, they underwent changes: "The first apartment scene was very neat and organized, with a lighting border around [CSC's three-quarter thrust stage]." As the play progressed, the apartment setting became more disorganized, with furniture piling up and the lighting design changing until, finally a scene was performed in "a big blast of light from downstage left." The final scene was performed with one lightbulb visible on stage--Champa used only a little bit of fill to complete the image.
In contrast, a scene set in a beer garden on election night featured virtually the entire cast of 16 sitting at various tables. "That was one of the most difficult scenes," says Champa. "It required about a dozen ellipsoidals to deal with each table and focus point. I was very tight with my budget, so I resisted using specials; but I did need them, so I ate up a bunch of units for that scene." The designer created a cinematic effect as the lights drew one's eye from one part of the stage to another. Champa made use of Arri 2K studio units for the bigger scenes, and within those scenes used Source 4 ellipsoidals as specials to, he explains, "help focus the scenes for the audience." He continues, "It's not often that a director will back you up when you want to use eight studio 2Ks, but I felt they were effective here. "In the beer garden scene, I used the 2Ks at 30-40%, with no-color in six of them. We ran them at the low level in the beer hall scene for warmth. They're also in the second scene, set in the lecture hall." In this scene, a character entered, flipped on a light switch, "and the 2Ks went up to a higher level because this higher level provided a much cooler light."
For the more tightly focused scenes, such as the Siegelmann beating, Champa says he used only the Source 4 ellipsoidals because "we needed more control."
Jan Hartley designed a series of black-and-white projections, which were seen on the rear wall of the theatre; as a result, says Champa, "There was a lot of no-color in my design. We used a lot of GAM 870 (Winter White), along with Lee 201, 202, and some GAM 363 (Sand), which is a bit warmer, for the election night scene." Most of Champa's plot consisted of ETC Source Fours, with L&E mini-strips hung from above to light the skylight placed above center stage. "The mini-strips worked quite effectively, I think," he says, adding that all four mini-strips were "colored the same. They were three circuit strips, the first circuit was no color, the second was Lee 201, and the third was GAM 890 (Dark Sky Blue)." The designer also specified dimmable fluorescents for the back wall, which proved too costly, so he added neon units, "which worked better." Using them, he created a series of chilling moments with sound designer Robert Murphy, in which scenes ended with a burst of cold white light and a sizzling sound--a sinister suggestion of things to come. Champa says that "for the big blast/flash of white light in the transitions and for the taking of Siegelmann 's photograph, we used three High End Systems AF-1000 Dataflash units."
The original plan was for Champa and Giovannetti to use the same light plot, but because of Race's many requirements, says Champa, "about halfway through, we added another rack of dimmers and Tony hung about 20 more units to flesh out what he needed. He used some units from Race, as well." Of course, Giovannetti's task was vastly different from his colleague's. Speaking of his close collaboration with director Karen Malpede and star George Bartenieff, Giovannetti says, "The writing is terrific. George is terrific. I've got to expedite what he's doing."
Because of the theatre's three-quarter configuration, Giovannetti says, "One important thing was I couldn't be architecturally obtrusive with the lighting equipment. I tailored my choices around the idea that a unit might work from the front but could blind the audience members seated on the sides." Thus the designers' work is carefully masked with high hats and half hats. Many of his units are in box-boom positions. "My angles were lower than Russell's," he says. "I had a balcony rail position that he never touched, because his whole approach was sharper, a little more extreme. I needed to get into George's eye sockets." (Like Champa, Giovannetti found the skylight to be a challenge, because of the many positions it eliminated; also, like Champa, he used the mini-strips to light the skylight). For certain key dramatic moments, Bartenieff comes downstage and stands in a tight pool of light. During the piece's climactic sequence, in which Klemperer describes the fire bombing of Dresden, Giovannetti backlights the scenic flat at the rear of the stage; the look, which reveals the flat's backing, creates the suggestion of a bombed out building.
Because Klemperer's diary recounts how he and his wife were frequently forced to move, and because certain sequences vividly describe life on the streets of Dresden, the designer says, "We designed it into approximately five major concept looks." Giovannetti's original concept included a certain amount of color, but "I pulled some of it out," he says. "I changed a lot of the facial stuff for George, who has very translucent skin. If you light him a certain way, his skin can look too pale, with a kind of yellow-green cast. Most of my colors are in the amber and pink range, a lot of Lee 153 [Pale Salmon]." In addition, the designer also used a pair of Strand Bambino 2K fresnels to create a deep blue stage wash. "I've always found them to be very versatile in these tight situations," he says. "You can get a whole stage wash with two units. Also, they have little spill, so they're not obtrusive in that small space, because they don't burn up the Lee HT119 even though they're run almost always at full."
Of course, to design a one-person show is to enter into an intimate collaboration with the cast. "George is very easy to work with," says Giovannetti. "He knows what he's doing, what the lighting is supposed to feel like. If there was a moment when he felt he should be getting a point across, and I had him in the dark, he might say something unobtrusively. I could see, from the way he was holding his head, that he was looking for the light. But he did trust what I was doing. Working with him and Karen was great."
Lighting for both productions was controlled by an ETC Expression 2X console. Lighting for both productions was supplied by Fourth Phase. On Race, Brendan Gray was assistant lighting designer. Technical director for both productions was Peter Barbieri, and Nicholas Hohn was master electrician. Electrics crew included Mona Arriola, Juan F. Cejas, Andrew B. Dickey, Aaron Gallemare, Tobias Juhl, John Salzman, and Marc Schmittroth. Nicholas Bixby is the lightboard operator. Race ran through late February, while I Will Bear Witness will be at CSC through April 1.

We sailed out of Seattle on a sunny afternoon and enjoyed the scenery as we sailed north.
SHIP - We found much of the ship's decor rather garish but the usual layout to most standard cruise ships. We also found it rather noisy and wherever we were, there was activities taking place. The only quiet place, the library was extremely small and always crowded as obviously many others, like us were trying to escape to find some peace.
DINING - We ate once in the buffet but found it crowded and busy. Therefore we ate all our meals in the Czar's Palace which was an elegant, light room with a menu which suited our tastes. When we first arrived here a Mexican band was singing very loudly and we were immediately put off but the Maitre'd was excellent and instantly found us a window table tucked away from the loud music. He continued to seat us on this table and we really appreciated his attention and sensitivity to our requirements. The staff here were also excellent, pleasant and attentive, We could not fault them. We chose not eat in any of the speciality restaurants.
CABIN - We chose an inside cabin, a first time for us, as we anticipated that we would be outside watching the scenery and hopefully whales. The cabin was compact but comfortable and we overcame the lack of window but having the brigade cam on the TV thus knowing if it was light or dark when we woke. Our delightful cabin steward was from India and really kind and helpful.
We could not fault the crew who were excellent and all went the extra mile to make our cruise enjoyable.
As already stated, we chose an inside cabin as we anticipated that we would spend the two and a half sea days on deck enjoying the beautiful scenery and watching for whales, instead all we saw was sea. What a waste with all this magnificent scenery so close at hand. We would not have chosen this cruise if we had known the route and we felt that we wasted two days of our holiday 'kicking our heel's' around the ship rather than enjoying Alaska. If we visit Alaska again it will be in a different way.

Triple Podium! Snowboard Star Mark McMorris Lands Triple Cork for X Games Big Air Triumph, Oakley Sweep
Torstein Horgmo's first-ever Triple Cork made Winter X Games history last year.
But as always, Oakley's athletes weren't done pushing the envelope.
Coming from behind in the Big Air Finals on Friday, Oakley's Young Canadian Star Mark McMorris threw down a massive Backside Triple Cork 1440 to claim glory in Aspen.
Also stomping a clean Backside Triple Cork 1440 himself, Torstein's overall score of 76 in the final jam session – and a perfect score of 50 – wasn't quite enough to overtake Mark's 80-point explosion.
"X Games is something that I have watched since I was super young and all of my idols have been here," Mark said, rocking his Oakley Snow Goggles and gear. "To end up on top of the podium in the biggest event in snowboarding is such a good feeling. All the support has been insane."
Nonetheless, it was a clean sweep for Oakley's Snowboard Team – with Sebastien Toutant grabbing the third podium spot.
"It was amazing," Torstein said, sporting his brand new Oakley Canopy® Snow Goggles. "I am so stoked for Mark. It seemed like we kept pushing each other. It was just a good session out there."
Smashing into the Finals by landing a Frontside Double Cork 1080 in Heat 2 of the semis, Mark took some time to warm up for what would be an absolutely epic ending to the contest.
But when all was said and done, Oakley's killer Snowboard Team reaffirmed their dominance with the sweep.
Congratulations to Mark, Torstein and Seb Toots for the tantalizing evening in Colorado!

Grateful Dead
I was fortunate enough (thank you Rhino/Dead/Marye!!!) to have attended the "Taxi Tour" shows yesterday. The first show was at the Orensanz, an intimate former synagogue, where Bobby, Phil and Warren performed accoustically. I arrived around 415 (the show began at 5pm) and found out from my friend that I had just missed the boys hanging out with the small group of Heads outside. Oh well. The show was AWESOME! Before starting, the band asked the crowd to keep noise to a minimum and the request was heeded, so I suspect that the recordings sound great. Bobby forgot a verse in the set-opening Dire Wolf but the crowd helped him out. None of us thought we would hear a mind-blowing deep space Bird Song at 5:15 on a Monday, but that is exactly what happened. This was followed by a nice Cumberland Blues, an unexpected Pride of Cucomonga, and an equally surprising Lazy River Road, and a fun Casey Jones. At this point it was 6 pm, the band had to get to the next location, and we didn't think there would be an encore. Fortunately, we were wrong. Ripple. Perfect ending to a perfect set.
Last year, they were rockin, and it was funny but not everyone knew the songs....just felt the vibe. It was the closest I've come to a Dead experience that I've been to in about 4 1/2 years.
ABB baby, cuz I'm always tied to the Whip Post.
Will you come with me? Once in awhile you can get shown the light in the strangest of places if you look at it right!
Wondered if any of my brothers and sisters of the vine are going to any of the spring shows. I am going to the one at the Gorge. Looks like we have a group of 12 or so carpooling from Spokane to there. Plus we get to see the ABB! I'm sure I'll enjoy the Doobies too. I know we are lucky.

Analysis: Why Mali's chaos continues
- Simon Allison
It's been over four months since the kidnapping of over 200 Nigerian schoolgirls from the town of Chibok in Borno state. Very little concrete information is available about their whereabouts, and in the propaganda war over who is in control in northern Nigeria, Islamist group Boko Haram seems to be one step ahead of Nigerian security forces. By LIESL LOUW-VAUDRAN for ISS TODAY.
Africa, defined by outside, has been viewed in the bipolar narratives of good and evil. Lately, the "rise of the middle class" dominates, calling for investment and telling foreigners the bad times are over. GREG NICOLSON looks at a new report that grounds the issue and should offer South Africa its own opportunities while leaving the Hollywood narratives for Hollywood.
It's been nearly six months since the first reported case of Ebola in West Africa. Despite everyone's best efforts, we're still no closer to containing the lethal virus. In fact, the opposite is true. Now that it's spread across four African countries, it's going to be even harder to stop – and it's going to get worse before it gets better. By SIMON ALLISON.
Who will succeed Robert Mugabe? With the nomination of Grace Mugabe to a senior Zanu-PF position, the great succession debate is dominating headlines once again. But is it still too soon to contemplate the future? By all accounts, there's life in the old dog yet – and maybe even a new trick or two. By SIMON ALLISON.
For centuries, international politics has been defined by the twin pillars of sovereignty and the nation state. These ephemeral conceits are the foundation of diplomacy, the building blocks of the world order as we know it. But not everyone's buying into the hype any more – and if we don't believe in them, then these ideas lose their potency. By SIMON ALLISON.
Boko Haram has long wanted to carve out its own country in north-eastern Nigeria. It's always been an improbable goal – until now. Emboldened by the successes in Iraq and Syria of the Islamic State, Boko Haram has changed its tactics and is closer than ever before to realising an Islamic state of its own. By SIMON ALLISON.
In the Central African Republic, where an ongoing civil conflict has killed scores and displaced hundreds of thousands, no two narratives converge. There have been repeated attempts at reconciliation, but the culture of blame and finger-pointing appears to be endemic. From the streets of Africa's most contested capital, KEVIN BLOOM tries to make sense of it all.
It's not always easy to point to an African country that's getting it all right, with one notable exception – Ghana, the thriving West African democracy that has also been developing at a phenomenal pace. But with the Ghanaian economy in freefall, even this role model must now come with big caveats. By SIMON ALLISON.
Yes, we should be scared of Ebola. It's a nasty way to die. But it's not that contagious, and we can't really blame the disease for the fact that it is spreading like wildfire in West Africa. Instead, as usual, there's a more obvious scapegoat: corrupt, incompetent governments and their repeated failure to protect their citizens. By SIMON ALLISON.
Thousands of people leave Eritrea every month, desperate to escape that country's oppressive regime. But braving trigger-happy border guards is just the first hurdle. Incredibly vulnerable, Eritrean refugees are prime targets for trafficking and extortion rings, a lucrative sideline that helps fuel organised crime and political instability as far away as Egypt's Sinai Peninsula. By SIMON ALLISON for ISS TODAY.
Rio Tinto is one of the biggest companies on the planet. These guys don't make mistakes, surely, especially ones that cost in the region of US$3.7 billion. Except sometimes they do. SIMON ALLISON examines why the mining giant is exiting Mozambique with a massive hole in its balance sheet – and its tail between its legs.
If the Kenyan government is to be believed, tourist arrivals are down a little bit on last year. Hotel operators tell a different story, speaking of a crisis rather than a decline. It's a potentially devastating blow for Kenya's economy. For this, Kenyan has got Al Shabaab and an increasingly misguided invasion of Somalia to thank. By SIMON ALLISON.
Africa is second only to Asia in its number of city dwellers, and its cities are growing at an unprecedented rate. Yet understanding of African cities is lagging behind their development. Locally, it's a massive challenge to build a knowledge base that will support the building of more equitable African cities, making them livable, accessible, and sustainable for all. By MARELISE VAN DER MERWE.
There are few health-related phrases which are capable of inducing as much fear and paranoia as "Ebola outbreak". The current outbreak of Ebola in West Africa is the worst in recorded history: it has killed more than 670 people and involves the most deadly strain of the virus. It is fatal in 90% of cases, a quick and brutal death. In these circumstances fear mongering is rarely helpful, but there's a question on many minds: At the far end of the continent, are we safe? By REBECCA DAVIS.
Proving, once again, that borders in this part of the world are little more than an inconvenience, Boko Haram militants launched another attack in Cameroon on Sunday. This one was even scarier than those that have come before, because it wasn't just ordinary, innocent civilians who paid the price. The militants made off with the wife of one of Cameroon's top politicians – and if she's not safe, then who is? By SIMON ALLISON.
News that warring parties in the Central African Republic have agreed on a ceasefire is encouraging – but not too encouraging. A few crucial oversights in the peace deal, coupled with the structural realities of the conflict, mean that it's going to be very difficult to enforce. Still, it's a start. By SIMON ALLISON.
We don't get to say this often, but yes, here's a good news story from Zimbabwe! Two journalists managed to convince the country's highest court that it really made no sense to make defamation a criminal act, and had the offending law struck off the statute books. This should offer a little more protection for journalists working in the country – not that it comes close to solving all their problems. By SIMON ALLISON.

Yesterday was the Jewish Memorial day for "slain soldiers and victims of terror"*. This day tends to piss me off and not because I don't respect the grief of families who lost loved ones. But because of the inherently propagandized role, this day and the following Independence Day (today), plays in the Israel psyche. (For all you literary types- here's me pissed off.)
Memorial Day
Memorial day is not a choice, it's socially mandatory. It starts in schools, where children are told to come in white shirts and blue pants (what happens is you got kids looking especially buttoned up, because most white shirts are button-down shirts, which Israeli kids, don't usually wear), and are sent back home if they aren't dressed as ordered. This results in an education that will last until adulthood, as many adults choose to wear this specific attire to work, as a mark of respect. Some work places, will ask workers to come specially dressed, as well.
In school the day's study is usually either completely cancelled, shortened, or interrupted, and instead children attend school ceremonies, in which their pears participate (these talented few will spend about two weeks practicing). The ceremonies usually consist of saying Kadish (the Jewish mourning prayer), reading bits (usually a something a bereaved family member wrote, or a short story, or a published love letter from a soldier to his girlfriend), memorial songs (Israel is full of those) and any other artistic notion, a teacher or child may have (this is where children's creativity is very much encouraged). And of course there is the siren, which usually starts off the ceremonies, as schools arrange that all kids will be present and in standing position, about a minute before it actually goes off. Children who break into laughter (as children often do), are usually treated to a dirty look by their teacher. In fact, children are so aware of the "proper" behavior in this scenario, that a friend might give him a nudge and whisper for the kid to shut up (not necessarily out of deep respect, but usually because he doesn't want his friend to get into trouble).
Some work places also hold ceremonies. Some will just walk out beforehand, to an area where a half way lowered flag is, and stand at the siren. In some places people will just stand in place. It's a common sight, to see traffic stop, people get out of their cars and stand still. In businesses, both customers and workers stop and stand.
If you are not in an institution, then it's made sure that you are aware of the day and its context. From the aforementioned siren to the Israeli television, completely dedicated to the day. The national Memorial ceremony is televised (in which heads of state go on saying a lot of scary, nationalistic things) and stories of dead soldiers and terror attack victims are on all channels; the one national channel and the commercial channels as well, with specialty programs. I didn't check, but I'm sure Waltz with Bashir was a hit, this Memorial Day. The radio is of course dedicated to the cause with the wide selection of memorial songs, growing every year.
Independence Day
In order for the propaganda to be complete you have to side the victim stories with stories of heroism (not that you don't get that on Memorial Day, but you have to balance the insufferable darkness of bereavement). Thus Memorial Day, in fact, ends with the kicking off of Independence Day. Once again, this is a national occasion. National- as well as other local- ceremonies are held country wide. People have their white and blue on, Israeli flags are hung about a month in advance, plastic flags are given to children, fireworks, BBQ's, local carnivals and absolutely no mention of the Nakbah, and at who's expense this independence came. Television is full of happy, heroic history- our "miraculous" defeat of four Arab armies and the rest of the drivel that has shaped minds in Israel for generations, with complete inability to question or judge status quo.
Al Nakbah through Israeli Eyes
The media has been, of course, completely enlisted into the cause. Articles of bereavement and ceremonies and "the ironies" of "fathers lost in the holocaust- sons lost in the fight for our great nation".
I got about one hour of this and couldn't help but feel my stomach split. Not only are Israeli kids sent to fight battles they don't understand in the name of reasons beyond their comprehension, their death is exploited to create more and more generations of complicit children, willing to die and loose limbs for the likes of joker-faced-Olmert and poker-faced-Netanyahu. On top of all this and one piece of the truth- the one piece that actually makes sense of all this loss- is never told: Palestinians.
Surprisingly, I did find one written article on the Channel 10 site (the fact that it was written means that almost no one read it), about Nakbah Day, that answers the question "how do you justify 61 years of ethnic cleansing?" I decided, as a way of standing in solidarity with Palestinians, on this Nakbah Day, to translate the whole damn thing and annotate it as I go along. It won't be surprising to find more notes than article in the following text, but I did actually translate twice: Hebrew- English- Zionish. I know it's an annoying format to read, but for those of you anthropologically interested in the Zionist mind, this will give you some insight (To avoid confusion: Notes are in the square brackets in dark blue. When I'm speaking from the Zionist perspective they will be in light blue):
Independence day: Here a Holiday, Around Us Mourning [the "they surround us" rhetoric will repeat many times in different guises]
At a time that, in Israel, we note 61 years of independence- around us [they surround us] a national mourning day will be noted- "Nakbah Day" [note the words Nakbah Day are always in quotation marks- subtle but effective]. Marches, rallies, demonstrations, strikes and exhibits [this conjures up Hamas demonstrations, which are never fully translated and always have gun waving] will be held in Palestinian Authority territories [this is one way of not saying "occupied territories"], to mark "the expulsion of Palestinians from their villages in 1948", as the Palestinians call it [quotation marks, "as the palestinians call it"- it must be a lie!].
In Israel, today, blue balloons are floated into the sky, but in the Arab world they do it with black balloons [this is actually true, but isn't it effective imagery: us-blue, them-black]. The Palestinians mark "Nakbah Day" that coincides with Israeli Independence day [they happen to coincide, one isn't a direct result of the other]. This day is seen by them ["seen by them"- the crazy terrorists that commit acts of senseless violence and want to push us all into the sea] as a national catastrophe due to the turning of thousands of them into refugees and the destruction of hundreds of their villages [this is a passive thing- they just turned into refugees, their villages were magically (maybe god did it?) destroyed. Oh! And no one was massacred in the process]. In the past few days, the Arab media [they mean Palestinians, but this way we sound more surrounded] has been noting the day of the declaration of the state of Israel (Hebrew date given here) as a traumatic event, that overshadowed the lives of the Palestinians for decades and still has an effect today [since this was said by "Arab media" it is, of course, untrue].
In the next few days, the families of the uprooted plan [they plan, doesn't necessarily mean they'll get to do so] on visiting the villages that they left or were expelled from in 1948 [yes, let's keep the myth alive- they left out of their own accord]. Zarifeh Hammadi, resident of Al-Mashhad village, next to Nazareth tells that "what happened in 1948 is unforgettable – Palestinians were expelled and murdered and Palestinian cities destroyed." ["she" says there were murders-she must be lying. And again, this passage is passive and implicates no one. I bet she said many other things, but this way we look all so democratic: "what other country would give voice to the enemy?!" says Zionist geek, on his computer reading this piece of filth.]
The Palestinian Press: Supporting Terror and a Call to Free Palestine [Those animals on our land have fascist press and it supports terror and screams crazy nationalist slogans like "free Palestine"]
The Arab press, especially Palestinian, has used the past few days to highlight messages that express the Palestinian's determination to actualize the "right of the refugees to return to the places they have abandoned in 1948". [Nope, that ain't a quote- those quotation marks are there to signal yet another ridiculous Palestinian claim- that refugees have a right to their homeland. You know what makes it obvious that this isn't a quote? The fact that a Palestinian would have never "abandoned" his or her home. Another thing- refugees don't leave their home- then they wouldn't have earned the status "refugee"- that's not just a word, but a legal term.] In addition, there were many expressions of support to the "resistance", i.e. The violence and terror [the mainstream press loves intentionally misinterpreting this one, I've written about this before and I'm sure I'll write about it again], and the call to "free" all of historical Palestinian land. [I think they misplaced the quotation marks here- I think they ment to put them around "historical". But if this wasn't a mistake then I'd just like to say in the name of all of Israel "the territories are no longer occupied, we pulled out in 2005."]
[Scare tactics start here]
Hamas organization [as opposed to "elected government"] is expected to use Nakbah Day [where's the quotation marks? Is this where we arbitrarily pay respect to Nakbah Day, in order to insinuate that Hamas is abusing a day of mourning?] well, as leverage to the promotion of their Islamic Radical world view, that rejects all settlement with Israel and aims to destroy it with the means of violence and terror. [I'd just like to point out that "with the means" is as literal as I could make it. Hamas isn't just generally trying to destroy us, it has the means to do so, also this hints to a well rounded strategy, on their part.]
[Aren't spooked enough yet? Have another paragraph!]
As part of the events of "Nakbah Day" [the quotation marks are back!], every year, Hamas conducts an incitement ["incitement" is a key word, always used against anyone criticizing Israel] campaign against Israel, the Zionist movement [there isn't a zionist movement anymore, they got what they wanted. Now there are just Zionists] and the Jewish people [this is the part where they scream "anti-Semetic" at Arabs]. This in combination with hate messages against the West [little Israel will now commence defending the entire West (which it is undoubtedly a part of), or more specifically Papa USA] and blames thrown at the Arab world [It's not that we give a shit about the Arab world, but see how wrong Hamas is- it can't even get along with its own people!]. Hamas' television channel El-Aquza plays a significant role in this campaign [oh the irony! And Channel 10 isn't even a government channel!]. In its broadcast, that are aimed at both children and adults [I don't know what it's like at other countries, but down here, both adults and children watch the government channel, and there are specially coordinated kids shows that explain holidays and mourning days, like Independence Day, for instance...], the channel airs shows that embed the demand for the right of return, shame the state of Israel and the West and praise the terror attacks and Hamas violence. [Oh the stinging irony!!!]
Also, in Jordan, Egypt, Lebanon and the United Arab Emirates [oh my god!! They are all out to get us!! We're surrounded! Quick! Get the life jackets! I'd just like to calmly mention that I almost never here the term " United Arab Emirates", so this is an obvious ploy for the Israeli ear to hear "united Arab something or other"] support demonstrations for the Palestinians are expected [won't necessarily happen, but what the hey, let's pile it on for dramatic effect!] to be held. [A note on the term "support demonstrations"- it sounds like bad translation, but I am being literal as possible in order to convey the linguistics. I think this is intentional, because as far as I know, whenever the Palestinian cause is supported by demonstrations, it's usually called "solidarity demonstrations".] In similar demonstrations that were held last year, Israeli flags were burned and Palestinian flags waved. [Just making sure you understand how much they hate us.]
Gaza: Museum to Mark Nakbah Day [They say museum, but I have to wonder, what improvisation was erected in the midst of the Gaza ruins]
The association of protection of the rights of Palestinian refugees [I actually have no idea which association their talking about. I Googled their exact words, in hebrew, and there are no results leading to any organization, seeing as you can't get any online information about this association, it completely discredits them] published an announcement this week, which stated that "despite all that the Gaza strip has endured- the will of the Palestinian people to return to its land won't be broken". Lately, in the Gaza strip, a plan has been formalizing [an evil plan], of preservation of testimonies of the elderly, that were in Israel's territory [they were in the territory, they didn't live there and own property, or anything like that], in The War of Independence [they could have said "1948" again, but they went with " The War of Independence", that was against "the Arabs", which incidentally Palestinians are]. The aim of the plan is writing special [=evil] testimony booklets [not "books"] that will be passed on to the next generations. [This is a great time to note that the context here is very damning. After two paragraphs of Hamas propaganda, we are told about these "special booklets".]
With the patronage of Ismail Haniyeh [leader of Hamas! This must be a terrorist museum! It has weapons of mass destruction in it, like home made rockets!], "The Museum of The People's Legacy" [I can't be sure but I have a feeling the quotation marks here are poking fun] to mark Nakbah Day [no quotation marks? Was it because the whole setting is completely inconceivable, so no need to deny it?]. One of Hamas' seniors [this could have been said "government seniors", the man could have been mentioned by name, but this way we keep Hamas government an "organization" and "one of its seniors" a faceless terrorist] that was present at the opening of the museum said: "Even though over 6 decades have passed since the slaughter and expulsions, the Palestinian people continue to stick by the right of return." [first- the man was there, he didn't necessarily speak to the crowd at a podium. Second- this is the kind of crazy talk you get from these nationalist Arabs that want to "return" and drive us all to the sea.] The Museum includes pictures of Shahids [the use of the word "Shahid" {Martyr} is synonymous with "terrorist" in Hebrew, I doubt the average Israeli knows the translation. In evidence to my claim, notice that the word Shahid wasn't placed in quotations, even though this article is quite fond of them. On a side note, the word Nakbah wasn't translated anywhere in this article, either] that were killed [magically killed] in operation [not onslought/massacre/offensive] "Cast Lead", a special wing on the theme of Palestinian prisoners imprisoned in Israel [no mention of the illegality of the situation], a wing of Palestinian national cuisine and special workshops for kids. [The idea of these examples of wings is to show the "shocking" aspect of how Palestinians have "propaganda" iside by side with activities for kids.]
Shfar'am: Palestinian Flag or Israeli Flag?
The difference of opinion on Independence Day and Nakbah Day [the quotes are missing in order to convey balanced reporting] were expressed, this week, in the city of Shfar'am, the only Arab city, where there's mixed residency [I don't know what they mean, there are many cities of mixed Arab/Jewish residencies. It's possible they're making the racist distinction of Arab city with Jewish citizens/ Jewish city with Arab citizens]. Anonymous Arabs waved Palestinian flags above the town hall building and lowered the Israeli flag that was waving over the building. [Calling them "anonymous" makes it seem like these were a rogue few. Calling them "Arabs" takes away their Palestinian identity, thus rendering the act of waving the flag senseless. In the eyes of a typical Israeli, this is a senseless act, and it proves all Arabs are the same (ironically, in this case they are) and want to push us into the sea.] The Palestinian side [can you imagine how confusing it is for the typical israeli to here that the Palestinian citizens of Israel are sometimes "Palestinians" and sometimes "Arabs". Another thing- it's separative to say "the palestinian side" when referring to your own citizens. One last point- it isn't said bluntly, but by the explanation, it seems that it was given by town hall itself- thus the whole Palestinian flag waving wasn't done by some "anonymous Arabs"] explained that the move was made following the initiative of Jewish town hall workers to wave israeli flags in neighborhoods of the city [this takes me back to the fascist march in Umm al-Fahem and why Palestinian citizens of Israel have every right to wave Palestinian flags and take down Israeli flags]. Despite of this, town hall was quick to react to the incident and take down the Palestinian flags, in accordance with regulations. [What fucking regulations! This is a democratic country! I can wave the flag of the Republic of Mozambique for all you care and you can't fucking touch me!]
At the same time, the Arab organization "Haifa Al-Fataa" [sorry can't find links and I probably spelled it wrong, but being an Arab organization, you should be very afraid] marks the "Haifa Nakbah" [good ole' quotation marks- means it never happened, right?], for the third year in a row, that they claimed [!!!] happened in April of 1948. In an announcement, published by the organization, they convey that they are organizing a cultural [*snicker*] tour in the city, this week, under the title "A Journey in the Train of Memory and Art", with participation of Arab [rather than "Palestinian"] artists and public figures. "The activities, this week, are intended to immortalize the memory of hundreds of fallen Palestinians and the expulsion of 70,000 of them, at the time of the Nakbah," was written in the message of the organization. [Obviously this is a crazy Arab organization that wants to destroy us and they are lying.]
Maps of "Palestine" with no Mention of the State of Israel [this is the usual ironic double standard, where we bitch about Palestinians not recognizing Israel, when, in fact, we're busy not recognizing Palestine]
As parts of the events of "Nakbah Day" [really, quotation marks are so small, so innocent looking...], special classes will be held in schools in the "territories" [this is a bit of an irony, because they don't say the word "occupied" so this is the word "territories" in quotation marks- rendered absolutely meaningless], in order to embed messages that deny the right of Israel to exist [bitchbitchbitch]. One of the news agencies [name your source!] published an image of a Palestinian teacher is seen in a school in Hebron, showing the children in a lesson about the "Nakbah", maps that the title "Palestine" clearly shows, in Arabic, and there's no reference to the state of Israel. [On anything about Palestinian miseducation, I send you here.]
Embedding of messages that deny the right of Israel to exist, using maps, is a relatively common phenomena in the Palestinian education system and Palestinian society in general. [*cough*irony*cough* You think they walk around with maps of Palestine-with-no-reference-to-Israel and flash kids on the street?] The Palestinian educational system has customarily been ignoring the existence of the state of Israel [bitchbitchbitch] and the deep and extended historical ties that the Jewish people have with the land of Israel. [distortdistortdistort]
Just for laughs, here's an article about evil Palestinians erecting an evil Jewish Holocaust museum, in a village that the wall is ripping apart, as we speak.
* "victims of terror" got in on the action a few years back, claiming that it's not fair to mention a soldier's name- that died in a a terror attack- and not mention a civilian's name that died right along side him, in the same attack. Saying "we are all victims of the same terror war."

Democrats hit Speaker Ramsey over Obama tweet
Updated On: Sep 12 2013 04:44:16 PM CDT
State Democrats are criticizing Republican Senate Speaker Ron Ramsey over a Twitter post that said President Barack Obama was trying to become an ally with al-Qaida in Syria.
Ramsey, a Blountville auctioneer, said in the tweet that "we must always remember who attacked us on our soil 12 years ago."
State Democratic Party Chairman Roy Herron called on Ramsey to fire whoever wrote the tweet, noting that Republicans U.S. Sen. Bob Corker and House Speaker John Boehner agreed with the president's call for a limited strike on Syria because of a chemical weapons attack. The president has since decided to pursue a diplomatic solution.
Opponents to the intervention have noted Syrian rebel elements include al-Qaida-affiliated militants.
A Ramsey spokesman did not return a message seeking comment.

HALTOM CITY — Erick Muñoz has home videos to turn to; videos of his wife, Marlise, and their son Mateo.
They are brief life moments that now mean everything to a grieving husband.
Erick Muñoz visited his pregnant wife, who was brain-dead, in a Fort Worth hospital every day for 62 days.
"I have to fight those images. The way I fight them is I go to the videos and I go to the pictures... I go to the memories," he said.
Muñoz and the Machado families talked for the first time with News 8 since saying farewell to Marlise Muñoz and their unborn child on Sunday.
Marlise was disconnected from life support at 11:29 a.m. on Sunday. Erick told News 8 that he had requested doctors do a final sonogram because he wanted to know the sex of the unborn child. After learning it was a girl, Erick named her "Nicole," Marlise's middle name.
"It's hard," he said. "Part of you wants to yell and scream, but you just have to stay strong for the rest of the family, too, because you know your pain hurts them."
Erick Muñoz had sued JPS Hospital, where doctors refused to turn off the machines attached to his wife because of their interpretation of a state law that protects an unborn child.
On Friday, Judge R.H. Wallace ordered that Marlise be removed from life-support after eight weeks. The judge gave the Fort Worth hospital until 5 p.m. Monday to comply with his ruling, which Erick Muñoz said is what his wife would have wanted.
"We knew without a shadow of a doubt what she wanted done," said Lynne Machado, Marlise's mother.
Erick admits he's seen a lot of negative comments about his decision, and realizes that everyone is entitled to an opinion. But he says something that was always talked about with his wife was quality of life.
Erick felt the child would not have a good quality of life if it had gone without oxygen for so many hours.
"I'm just glad they are not in my shoes. I hope every day that no one ever has to go through what I went through," he said.
The family tells News 8 that Marlise Muñoz will be cremated. There are no plans for a public memorial or funeral service because the family is concerned that protesters would show up.
While so many have focused on the child they lost, Erick Muñoz now has to focus on the child left behind. Mateo is 15 months old and too young to understand.
"He knows his mama's pictures are on the wall, and he'll just stand there and look for a little bit... and move on," Machado said.
Erick Muñoz said Marlise did have one life goal, and that was to fly in an F-16 fighter jet. Marlise's father was in the military, so it was a conversation that came up often.
Erick hopes to one day make Marlise's wish to ride in a fighter jet come true.
"She made me a better man, and I thank her for it. I thank her very much," he said.

In Alpharetta I figured this would be my best bet at good beer. The beer menu was heavy on the Belgians with an 11% with wormwood offering. I stuck with the Plan B IPA. I missed their Imperial Oatmeal - damn!
It was bitter yet a tad sweetter compared to other IPAs, but it was also nice and hoppy.
I ordered up an iceberg lettuce wedge (highly reccommended) and the grilled raviolis. The food was great! I could eat here everyday.
The space is big, spacy and airy, there is a fire pit near the bar with seating around it - pretty cool.
The bar is also very ample, wood everywhere.
Probably not the best place to catch a game, the TVs are tiny.
Definitely an oasis in this neck of the woods.

The five seasons brand is excellent in overall quality in the Atlanta area. The ambiance is very nice and up scale for your typical microbrewery. I went with a large group with a wide variety of entrees ordered and all if then seemed well made and looked appetizing. Many beers are available with many styles represented. Each were relatively well made with typical genres and custom/unique brews available. Cost is standard and the service is excellent. Overall this is one of the better chain microbreweries out there. I look forward to trying the other.

Went for lunch and the place looks very much out of place. It looks like a log cabin or some type of mountain home amongst a couple of office buildings and strip malls. Lets be clear, this place is way out in the suburbs...so there will be no walking home if you have had a few to many and it would near impossible to get a cab, unless you called for one and then it would be doubtful that you would actually get picked up. This is really my main complaint with this location. I would definately hang out there more, but I am not driving 20 minutes or more for one beer. The dining area was large, overly so I thought, and the place had a more than ample bar area. As it was a Sunday and Memorial Day at that, I think that there were maybe 5 other customers, so it is hard for me to really comment on the vibe, but they had some good classic rock tunes playing.
The food was good, being familiar with the Prado location, it seemed on par with that. I definately like places that use fresh and location ingrediants.
The service was good, knowledgable and very helpful. My wife was looking to order an item that she had the last time that we were at the Prado location, which was not on the menu, the waitress was familiar with said item and had it prepared.
The beer is good here and they had maybe 8 beers on tap or so, plus one cask, the Nearly Perfect IPA. I tried the Dark Star Stout and the Haiku Belgian Triple, both of which were solid, no compliants.
Overall, this place, as with the Prado location is a step above the typical pub grub with some fine beers, but perhaps a little pricey. I doubt that I will make it back to this location much now with the Westside location open and much more convenient, but none-the-less, glad that I went and would recommend to anyone.

Went here for lunch a couple days ago. It's very spacious with nice wood beams. It felt almost like a barn. It felt more like a family restaurant than a brewpub.
The beer was tasty, though nothing overly special. I had their pale ale, which was pretty good, but not "west coast" as they described, and my wife had their stout, which was really good. They also had some aged bottles on the menu, which I found interesting for a brewpub as I had never seen something like that before at any of the brewpubs I frequent.
The food was tasty and the waiter was very helpful and friendly.

Second location of Five Seasons to open in the old Embers Grill location and with Crawford Moran, formerly of Dogwood Brewing bringing his fine brewing skills here. This location is waaay up in Alpharetta, and you are definitely in the land of swank strip malls and popped collars. The serving and bar staff exhibits these qualities. They are all well scrubbed, young, eager to please but slightly snarky-when-you aren't-looking graduates of the local well moneyed public schools. As such, they tend to have done their homework on the beers and the menu and are polite because they are supposed to be, but all pleasant enough. Suburban steakhouse A-frame from the outside and stranded on a bland stretch of road, but much warmer and more inviting on the inside with a ski lodge feel. Fairly long bar which is where I usually sit, and quite a few tables for dinner. The food here is excellent, and the real deal. Wondeful, often locally sourced sourced ingredients combined into very tasty, sometimes creative ways- but fairly pricey. On the other hand, they do a superb job with standard pub fare as well for a bit less money. Really good burgers and frys, excellent pulled pork, etc. The food is as good as the beer. This location especially excells in Belgian offerings that are usually delicious, and a weekly cask offering. On this visit I had one of the Belgian style beers and a great watermelon wheat that surpassed its inspiration brew from 21st ammendment. With the possible exception of Leon's, which is too new to review on the food front, this place or the location at the Prado are the go-to gatropubs in Atlanta. If growler laws were ever changed in Georgia, I'd drive up here all the time for growlers. Worth travelling for.

Now that I have moved North I have visited the 5 North a few times, and have enjoyed each time. A nice version of the original, slight differences in menu (beer parmesan cheese soup is awesome, and not available at the Prado location). The brewer here has more of an emphasis on Belgian styles, it seems, which is nice differentiator to the Prado's classic offerings (and new ones with Kevin from Sweetwater now there). I really like the interior design here, very cool mix of modern and rustic look. Beer selection is not as robust as the Prado, but the weekly casks are awesome. I have always found the service at the Prado to be warm and welcoming, and do not feel that way here yet, but maybe that will come with time. In the end, another nice add to Atlanta's quickly burgeoning brew pub & beer bad scene.

Like the Silver Springs (Prado) this one has an all wood interior. However, the inside of this place is less intimate and cozy, more like a giant feed hall. It gets noisy very easily and it can be drafty. There is an upstairs area, however I don't know if that's for private events or overflow.
The bar seemed rather large with plenty of seats. There were four TVs against the bar wall, each playing a different channel (mostly sports).
There were four taps available on the menu, but it seemed like there was more at the bar. They also have vintage beers available. Their beer is pretty good, and I had a great Pale Ale. The price of the beer seemed reasonable. There is also liquor and wine available.
The food at the location is great, however it's somewhat expensive ($15-$25). It's worth the price though - you get what you pay for.
I like the Prado location better, but this one is fine if it's the closer location. I'd say the beer is about the same at both locations, as well as the food. I just don't like the interior as much.
