It is the end of summer, so thousands of young Israelis have now completed the
first few weeks of their initiation into the IDF. As their parents exchange
stories they've heard from their newly inducted children, one gets a fascinating
peek into some of the challenges facing Israeli life.On one base, an
army rabbi addressed the new recruits: "You have come to a school for the
killing of terrorists," he told them. The young man who related this story was a
bit perplexed. The rabbi was technically right, but was that all he had to say?
"Nothing about Israel or why we're here in the first place?" the young man
wondered.The kid was right. Those soldiers should have heard more,
especially from the base's rabbi. But they didn't.There is no denying
the permanence of the war in which Israel is entrenched evokes hopelessness,
then bitterness, then ugliness. As the new school year begins, it is therefore
worth asking ourselves who in this society is going to change that; what
educational institutions need to be created so that a more sophisticated,
nuanced and decent Israeli discourse can evolve.Why the urgency? Because
the war in which we find ourselves is not going to end. The terms you use don't
matter. You can say "West Bank," or "Judea and Samaria." You can call it
the "occupation," or the "ancestral land of the Jewish people." You can believe
that the Israelis captured it in war but should now relinquish it, or you can
believe that God bequeathed it to the Jewish people. It makes no
difference.For here is the reality, like it or not: The Israelis are
here to stay.I say this not because the Israelis should be here to stay,
and not because we shouldn't. I say it because it's simply likely to be
true.Just days ago, Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas stated that
Jerusalem is a Christian and Muslim city and that there will be no peace until
the Jewish settlers depart Jerusalem. All the Jews want, he continued, is to
"destroy the Aksa Mosque and to rebuild their alleged temple."Abbas
calls our Temple "alleged." It's tempting to dismiss his comments as simply
playing to his crowd, but that would be a mistake. For if that is what his crowd
needs to hear, then with whom, exactly, will the deal be forged? If not with the
"citizens" of the Palestinian Authority, is it with those in Gaza who voted for
Hamas? Most Israelis say we could withdraw to the 1967 lines tomorrow and would
not end the conflict. It would simply bring it closer to our homes and to the
runways of Ben-Gurion Airport.I say this with no glee. With two sons in
the army, the knowledge that my children's children will likely also go to war
is devastatingly sad. I wish matters were otherwise, but they are not. Yet there
is nothing that the Israelis can do to change the Palestinian myopia. All we can
do is to survive, and to struggle to maintain our decency in the
process.I wonder about those someday-to-be grandchildren. Will they
really go to war? Or will they choose to leave, not because the specter of war
makes life here unbearable but because of the ugliness of this society? Those
who wish to minimize the horrific recent Jerusalem "lynch" point to the fact
that Jews rarely attack Arabs. That's basically true – though not as true as
they suppose. But still, that's scant consolation. For even if the actual
attackers were among the dregs of society, which appears to have been the case,
that can surely not be said for the dozens of onlookers who did nothing to
intervene.Nor is it just the occasional horrific incident. Drive in the
West Bank, particularly in areas far from the Green Line, and you see graffiti
everywhere, including just outside Arab villages, which says "mavet la'aravim"
(death to the Arabs). You can see it in certain places inside the Green Line,
too. Is that what we've become?Talk to our soldiers. It's not just that
horrifically unsophisticated army rabbi who spoke about a "school for the
killing of terrorists." The problem runs deeper. In army parlance, "Arab" has
come to mean not only "enemy," but "worthless." There's a fine line between
speaking about Israel's enemies and having conversations that devolve into utter
racism. In times of war, the line understandably gets crossed even in decent
societies. Good, honorable American soldiers developed a visceral hatred of
Germans and Japanese during World War II. You could hear "Kraut" and "Jap" (and
worse) everywhere you went.But that war ended and America moved on. Our
problem is that Israel's war is not going to end; not in our lifetimes and
possibly not in the lifetimes of our children. So our educational challenge is
tougher than was the challenge for the United States. The US "merely" had to win
the war and assume that the moral danger would pass. Israel does not have that
luxury. We face an educational challenge that most other countries do
not, and we have not even begun to address it. Even among Jews, discourse in
this country is harsh, ugly and mean.SO HERE'S what matters: Who is
going to create educational institutions that will consciously foster ongoing
and serious discourse between Left and Right, between secular and religious,
etc? In what institutions of higher education will we seek interaction with the
other and work to frame civil discourse? Where will Israel's best students study
great books and ideas, Western and Jewish, and think together about what kind of
society to build here? Not because we will agree with each other, but because at
the very minimum, we need to learn to see the other as human, and because we're
in this together.Can Israel create more passionate, patriotic citizens,
religious and not, right-wing and left, who are nauseated by graffiti that says
"mavet la'aravim"? Can we foster a society that is willing to send its sons and
daughters to war, but who, if they saw an Arab being attacked in the streets of
Jerusalem, would rush to his or her aid? Do the present universities in Israel
see creating a new Israeli civic leadership as part of their challenge, their
responsibility?They don't. Ask them; they'll tell you so unabashedly. So
someone is going to have to. Not in summer or pre-army one-year programs, but in
extended multiyear programs for the very best of Israeli students in the
intellectual primes of their lives. Shouldn't the Jewish state have at least
some institutions which have that as a goal?All the prattle about "ending the
occupation" is simply not useful, for there is nothing we can do to end it. What
we can and must do, however, is to frame a new question, one that should concern
both Left and Right, religious and secular, dove and hawk: What kind of a
society is emerging here? Is this a place in which our grandchildren will want
to live if they have a choice?If the answer to that question is "perhaps not,"
then let us be brutally honest: It won't really matter if we can hold our
enemies at bay, because the country we're protecting won't be worth having in
the first place.The writer is senior vice president and Koret
Distinguished Fellow at the Shalem Center in Jerusalem. His book Saving Israel

Why Its Seemingly Greatest Weakness is Actually Its Greatest Strength, has just

I want to go to Uzbekistan in the spring of 2011 and I'm just starting my planning. I would like to go to Urumqi and Kashkar on the trip as well. I'm looking for a tour operator. Any suggestions for starting out this planning?

I really can't help, but I plan on visiting Uzbekistan on my next big trip, I'll be following this thread.
Report Abuse
I'm hoping to get there this year. stantours.com is one local outfit I've communicated with. Western operators you can check into are MIR, Bestway and Sundowners.
Just Uzbekistan, or the rest of the 'stans? BTW, Lonely Planet's Thorntree may be more productive than Fodors for this trip.

The cities of Tashket and Samarkand are beautiful. Incredible mosques and mosaics. Obviously, if you head there in the summer be aware of the heat. We had well over 100 degrees most days and it barely cooled down at night. We went many, many years ago.
Report Abuse
Thank you all for the information. We are planning to go in April. I will follow up with the agencies you suggested and look at Thorntree.
We are just planning on Uzbekistan, Urumqi (China) and Kashkar (Kyrgyzstan)
Report Abuse
Why Urumqi? If you're going to Xinjiang and want to skip Kashgar (I hear bad things about the destruction of the old city) it would be much more interesting to go south of the Taklamaklan. Haven't heard of Kashkar - what's there?

I'll leave the pics to describe this best. Please note any other items displayed are not included, but to give an idea of scale.
As with all my listings, this is a vintage item and as such does come with some evidence of age. If you are looking for pristine condition, then this might not be for you. I do try to give an accurate description of the condition, as I hope my feedback testifies, but this is always relative. I would urge you, therefore, where possible to arrange a viewing by prior appointment to satisfy yourself prior to bidding. Do bear in mind that Ebay final prices often reflect the fact that an item is being bought sight unseen and, there is, therefore, an element of risk , which is why it is always preferable to buy from a Reputable Seller like ourselves, with a long-established 100% Positive Feedback Rating. That said, the end price is likely to be much lower than you would pay in an antique shop where the cost of overheads is built in to the retail price.
Thank you for looking.
See my other listings for more great items!
Would the successful bidder please make contact via email or phone within 24 hours of the auction close to notify me of their intentions regarding payment & collection/delivery. My contact details will be noted on the invoice sent upon auction close.
Would International Bidders please note that payment from overseas can only be accepted via Pay Pal.
1. Personal Cheque: I allow 5 working days' clearance of cheques from banking, so please bear this in mind if you require your item quickly. As we are in a village, it is not always possible to bank cheques on the day of receipt. You might want to consider an alternative method, if so. Would you please make cheques payable to J. Willis - not Owl Cottage Collectables.
2. Pay Pal: If you wish to pay by Debit or Credit Card it is easy to do so via Pay Pal. It is the Seller who is charged for this service and while we do not pass this cost on to the customer, we would appreciate prompt payment via Pay Pal. It can take up to 5 days for a Pay Pal payment to be transferred to our bank account - so if you delay payment by Pay Pal, this delays our reimbursement costs to that extent + the extra 5 days!
3.Please email for arrangements if you are planning to collect personally. Please note that our courier's driver is not authorised to accept cash on our behalf, representing, as they do, a separate company. We will notify you upon close of the transaction if we are able to offer personal delivery, in which case an alternative method of payment might be possible. Please email in advance to ensure this is possible.
Unfortunately, I have now had my fair share of non-paying bidders so I regretfully have to point out that a Payment Reminder will be sent automatically after 3 days via Ebay.
After 4 days a Non-Paying Bidder dispute will be opened in compliance with Ebay's Unpaid Items Policy, and if no satisfactory response is received within 4 days of that, the item will be re-offered. There should be no necessity for it to get to this stage, if the buyer emails or phones to say there was a good reason why they had bid b...

Monarchy Distribution Owner Mike Kulich Launches Stunner PR
LOS ANGELES — Monarchy Distribution owner Mike Kulich has announced the formation of Stunner public relations.
The adult executive said that he created the new firm catering to what he has proven to be one of his greatest strengths. For the past 10 years, Kulich noted that he has worked in almost every facet of the adult entertainment. In 2004, he began his career in at IVD, building a network of stores and online retailers. After four years at IVD, Kulich left to start DVD Makers, Inc. that he said soon became the premiere go-to company for adult studios to replicate and manufacture their product.
After DVD Makers, Kulich started Monarchy Distribution in 2010 with the goal of connecting talent that self-produce content with traditional DVD and broadcast distribution. Since the formation of Monarchy, the company has hauled in more than 35 industry award nominations. Kulich said he was honored with a noms in every marketing category from both XBIZ and AVN and took home the 2014 XBIZ Award for Marketing Campaign of the Year.
Kulich also noted his PR achievements over the last year pointing to stories featured in some major media outlets on the web including The New York Post, New York Magazine, LA Weekly, The Huffington Post, Forbes, The Daily Dot, and more.
"PR for the adult industry has just come naturally to me and of all the things I do on a daily basis in my company, that is by far my favorite. With the network that I have built over the last decade I am able to bring so many areas into one campaign. For a girl trying to get her name out there, I have a huge network of stores to do signings at, clubs to feature dance at, toy tompanies if her goal is to have a self branded line of novelties, important media relationships with both adult and mainstream outlets, and solid relationships with the majority of the adult studios and directors," Kulich explained.
Stunner said it is offering services to both talent and companies.
For more information, email Kulich at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Public Private Partnerships: New York and the Central Park Conservancy
A blog dedicated to talking about public-private partnerships created for parks has to begin with one of the oldest and most successful examples: the City of New York and the Central Park Conservancy. When the Central Park Conservancy was formed in 1980, the idea of a public-private partnership for parks that went beyond just fundraising was a radical notion; the idea, driven partly by New York City's devastated financial condition and the park's dramatic deterioration in the 1960s and 1970s, came at a ripe moment.
The strength behind the idea of a new kind of partnership was the constituency that was created that brought its resources and influence to not only change the way the city managed the park, but to provide a valuable role in supporting the city with park operations.
The Central Park Task Force and the Central Park Community Fund, two of the leading advocacy groups that led the charge to restore the park, called for the establishment of a single position within the Parks Department to oversee the planning and management of Central Park, and for a board of guardians to provide citizen oversight in order to create a more effective business structure with more accountability and control over what happened in the park.
Much like most business partnerships, public-private partnerships created for parks are based on the partners' complementary strengths with each partner bringing both assets and liabilities to the partnership – ideally the assets of one partner offsetting the liabilities of the other. Chris Walker, in his 1999 report "Lessons from the Lila Wallace Readers Digest Urban Parks Program," suggests a framework for understanding park partnerships and what drives them:
Structure (or governance): How is the partnership organized and responsive to the park's constituency? What's the balance of 'altruism' and self-interest?
Control (and partnership roles): Who makes the decisions?
Assets and Liabilities: How are assets and liabilities shared?
Risks (and investments): What are the strategies for mitigating risk? Who's stepping up to bring new resources to a park?
I've added my thoughts in italics, expanding on Chris's observations and I'd probably add monitoring and performance evaluation as another element of that structure.
Public-private partnerships were occurring in local government in the 1980s, but they were rare. While there are examples of public-private arrangements over the course of U.S. history, more were created across the spectrum of public projects starting in the late 1970s with the Reagan administration's "devolution" of the federal role in providing services, spurred by the recession and some say, the first seeds of some new thinking about governance – the idea that the normal powers and strength of the public sector would not be sufficient to deal with the new economy. Most applications of P3s in those days centered on solving fiscal crises – and in the case of Central Park this was certainly true.
When, in 1979, the office of Central Park Administrator was created – a recommendation of the Central Park Community Fund's study of the park's management – the city appointed the executive director of the Central Park Task Force, Betsy Barlow Rogers, to be its first administrator; in 1980 the Conservancy was created to support the office and initiatives of the Administrator and to provide consistent leadership for the park and thus, the private-public partnership began.
Partnerships usually start by a friends group offering support to a park. Pretty soon the two groups are working together and making decisions together and a level of trust is built – and thus, a partnership is built. Until 1993, there was no agreement between the City of New York and the Central Park Conservancy. In 1993, the City and the Conservancy signed a Memorandum of Understanding that defined the partnerships and their general roles.
In 1998, the MOU was superseded by a contract that officially recognized the Conservancy as the organization responsible for the management of Central Park. The contract was unique in that roles for the two partners had been established over years of experience, and thus the provisions in the contract came together naturally.
Central Park's transformation under the partnership of the Conservancy and the City began with modest but significant first steps toward reclaiming the park by addressing needs that could not be met within the existing structure and resources of the Parks Department. The Conservancy focused on hiring interns and establishing a small restoration staff to reconstruct and repair unique rustic structures, undertaking horticultural projects, and removing graffiti. Eventually the Conservancy's role grew to include planning and restoration, and transforming the Park's management.
Partnerships are typically organized so that each of the participants—public and private—take responsibility for what they do best, which produces the most efficient management structure and ideally the one with the most value. Many believe that public-private partnerships can be so effective because they survive by being more accountable: in order to keep their contract with the city, meet the expectations of donors, and provide services for users, they have to be on top of their game.
In 2006, the partnership agreement was renewed for eight years. Chris Nolan, Vice President for Planning, Design and Construction at the Conservancy, says that a lot has worked over the years due to ongoing communication and 20 years of working together. "The value of building relationships and developing common goals in the 1980s and 1990s led to the written agreement and what made sense for Central Park. The agreement evolved from experience and a successful track record, and now underlies a commitment to working together."
The aims, goals, principles and purpose of the working partnership are clear.
But not only must the underlying agreement be clear but line management and accountability procedures must be clear, especially since, as Chris Walker describes, there are general partners and limited partners in this P3 structure for parks. The general partners in this case are the Conservancy and the City Parks Department. The limited partners are the other agencies that support the partnership and the various constituencies that use or support parks.
In Central Park, in addition to the 200+ staff members of both the Conservancy and the Parks Department, other city agencies, community councils and private businesses are working in the park as well, including the New York City Police Department – with its own precinct in the park, a volunteer ambulance core and a community council dedicated to safety and security; the Department of Transportation; the Department of Environmental Protection; and Con Edison.
Nolan says that managing the park means keeping the team relationships working well. This is carried out mostly through weekly operations staff meetings with all of the parties. The Conservancy facilitates and the discussion is focused on what's coming up in the next week or month. And through these meetings they manage upcoming events and activities. Central Park hosts over 2000 events a year. There are quarterly meetings for looking ahead at longer term events and the dialogue between program people is ongoing about the yearly calendar. "The Central Park Conservancy manages the park's operations and most programs soup to nuts," says Nolan.
Until the Central Park Conservancy was created and developed a track record, many city park directors across the nation were uncomfortable with the idea of sharing park management – for them it meant that their department had failed in its mission. This kind of thinking is no longer the case as most park departments around the nation now rely on some form of P3s to operate.
Central Park will always be a public park. The Conservancy involves the public in the planning of any improvements to the Park and the management agreement makes clear that the City Parks Commissioner is the final authority in the park. And the contract between the Conservancy and the City provides that, "…CPC shall provide or cause to be provided, services specified for maintaining and repairing Central Park to the reasonable satisfaction of the Commissioner."
The Conservancy, an independent organization, is accountable to the City of New York – and as importantly to its users and donors whose expectations are that the park be well-maintained, accessible, safe and beautiful. The Conservancy now raises 85% of Central Park's $42.5 million annual expense budget and is responsible for all basic care of the park, and the City has come to rely on the partnership. As Nolan puts it, "In the execution of our work as the Central Park Conservancy we partner with the city to meet both our goals."
Are P3s the answer to all of a park's problems? Probably not, but they can be a viable approach for pooling the best resources available from public agencies and private business as well as citizen-based organizations who care about a park. A quick scan of the City Parks Alliance website feature, "Frontline Parks," shows almost all of the 39 parks featured talking about partnerships. Cities should be searching for park partnerships that make sense to their mission all the time while paying careful attention to those fundamental partnership issues: structure, governance, roles, risk-sharing, and monitoring.

I say it every year, but Thanksgiving is truly my favorite holiday and favorite day of the entire year. There is just something about family coming together under one roof, catching up, reminiscing, sitting by the fireplace, and of course lots of food and wine…it's the perfect day. And to make it even better…what I wish for every Thanksgiving…SNOW. It is fully coming down here in Connecticut and it's beautiful. A white Thanksgiving it will be. I hope you all have the most wonderful Thanksgiving. Enjoy your family, friends, and all the food, and savor each moment (and bite)! xo, Julie

Is Cole Stoudt Ready to Lead Clemson Tigers in 2014?
While the Clemson Tigers still have one more game with senior Tajh Boyd under center in January's Discover Orange Bowl matchup against the Ohio State Buckeyes, it's never to early to peek ahead to the 2014 season. Boyd will be gone, opening the door for a new quarterback to lead the Tigers' offense next season. Junior Cole Stoudt has served as Boyd's backup, dutifully playing the understudy, but is he ready to step into the starter's role next fall?
In limited action, Stoudt has been incredibly efficient throwing the football. He finished 2013 completing 47-fo-59 passes for 415 yards with five touchdowns and zero interceptions but mostly only saw time in garbage time when Clemson had games firmly in hand. Only twice this season did Stoudt more than 10 passes in a game when he went 19-for-20 for 143 yards and three touchdowns against FCS South Carolina State (a 52-13 rout) and against the Wake Forest Demon Deacons when he completed 10-0f-11 for 90 yards and a touchdown in a 56-7 romp.
Stoudt will have to prove that his stats weren't simply a product of playing against inferior and already beaten down defenses this offseason. And he may have to do it while learning a completely new system. Clemson offensive coordinator Chad Morris figures to be one of the hottest names to make the jump from coordinator to head coach this offseason. His offense has pushed the Tigers right to the cusp of the college football elite (and possibly into it if he can win in the Orange Bowl) and his stock is at an all-time high right now. If the right job comes along, Morris could make the move, especially considering that he'll lose Boyd and top receiver Sammy Watkins after this season.
That puts an extra wrinkle into the quarterback competition this summer. Stoudt may have to hold off freshman Chad Kelly, nephew of Hall of Famer Jim Kelly, for the job and a new system getting installed would negate Stoudt's experience advantage. Whoever ends up under center next season will have big shoes to fill to try and keep Clemson at the level that Boyd took them to in his collegiate career.

|Mai Chau
|Mai Chau
In the heart of an idyllic valley, a world away from the hustle and bustle of Hanoi, the Mai Chau region is a very tranquil place to spend a few days. The small town os Mai Chau is unappearing, but close by are Thai villages that enjoy a delightlully rustic setting surrounded by paddy fields. The lush countryside could not be traffic to contend with and the rural soundtrack is defined by gurgling irrigation streams and birdsong. Even the dogs seem mellow.
The villagers are mostly white Thai, distantly retated to tribes in Thailand, Laos and China. Most no longer wear traditional dress, but the Thai women are masterful weavers who ensure that there is plenty of traditional style clothing to buy in the village centre. You'll see women weaving on looms under or inside their houses. Locals do not employ strong-arm sale tacics here: polite bargaining is the norm.
Mai Chau is a very succesful grassroots tourism profect, though some might find the experience a little too sanitised, and the villages are on the tour-group agenda. If you're looking for hard-core exploration, this not thr place; but as useful base for some hiking and relaxation Mai Chau could fit the bill nicely.
What to Do ?
Highlights of Mai Chau journeys are staying overnight in Thai stilt house, walking across the beautiful valley through rice fields and light or hard trekking to nearby villages.
When to go ?
It is possible to come to Mai Chau all year round, but the best period is from September to April of next year when it doesn't rain much and this weather is perfect for trekking.
Travel Tips
Homestay condition is basic. Mattresses and mosquito nets are provided. Before tour, bring along with you good walking shoes, raincoats, jackets, torch, insect repellent and sunscreen. In the evening, communicate with villagers and they can help to organize traditional dance performance at a reasonable price.

Noting down here; it may not be worth inclusion in article. His death was memorialized in Erfurt with a concert containing his quartet in F minor and some lieder (page 246, Jg. 103 Neue Zeitschrift für Musik.) Then - Page 360 of the same issue notes a performance of the symphony no. 2 in Mannheim - p. 461, the second quartet, page 595 symphony number 3 of the same volume of this volume of the Zeitschrift. (Not sure if I looked further that day; this was during some research at the library, and I need to return to same.) Not surprisingly, some performance history after demise even for composers who are not household names. The 103 Jg. is a yearly expanse (not January-December, I think, I'll have to check, but still a years' worth of issues) with Jg. 87 having been released in 1920 and Jg 110 released in 1943.

This is a well-written article, it just needs more citations in the Biography, Style, and Reception sections (although Style is of least importance) before it can be passed.

AURORA — In his final campaign stop in Colorado, President Barack Obama told 20,000 shivering people in a late-night rally Sunday that real change would only come if he was given a second term.
"We know what change looks like, and what he's selling ain't it," he said, referring to his GOP opponent Mitt Romney in a speech at the Community College of Aurora. "Changing the facts when they're not convenient to your own campaign, well that's not change."
This is the 13th time the president has visited the state in 2012.

Know Your Fats: A User's Guide
So long, trans fat. The Food and Drug Administration has decided to ban this artery-clogging substance from foods, calling it unsafe for consumption and a major public health concern. Proven to contribute to diabetes, high cholesterol, and heart disease, trans fat has been under fire for more than a decade, and many food manufacturers and restaurants have already ousted it. But a government-ordered phaseout is another huge step in a healthier direction. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention claims that further decreasing the amount of trans fat Americans consume can prevent 20,000 heart attacks and 7,000 deaths every year.
Even though the ban's been set in motion, it'll take years before trans fat goes away completely. So it's up to you to know where it is, as well as how to distinguish it from other fat types. Trans is just one of many dietary fats, which vary significantly in how bad – or how good – they are for the body. While some kinds, like trans fat, are basically heart-harming garbage, other fats are very healthy, even necessary for the body to function properly – as long as you don't overindulge. But it isn't easy to differentiate between the many different types of fat. Here's your guide.Launch Gallery » – Melaina Juntti

rid my yard of armadillos
Is there anything I can put on my lawn and flower beds that will keep the armadillos from rooting there? They seem to love the mulch in my beds, but now are digging up my lawn as well. I live in a residential neighborhood in Central Florida, where everyone has a manicured lawn. We have tried trapping to no avail, and now wonder if there is something that may deter them, perhaps with a scent they would be averse to.
