Blue Mountain Gallery Opens POINTS OF VIEW Exhibition Today
Blue Mountain Gallery showcases the gallery artists in "Points of View" today, December 1-22 with a reception today, December 1st from 3 to 6 pm.
While any work of art is an artist's point of view, the works in this exhibition focus on that quality. The pieces include interpretations of microscopic forms, expressive manipulations of unusual angles of vision, playful placements of figures whose points of view contrast with that of the artist and more abstract presentations of a visual experience. Reflecting the broad range of artistic approaches, the literal positions taken include a range from precarious to stable, and the kind of details varies from carefully detailed to highly abstracted and expressive.
The exhibition includes sculpture, prints, drawings, mixed media and paintings.
A parallel show of smaller works, "Blue Mountain Gallery : Points of View," will be exhibited at Fairleigh Dickinson University in Teaneck, NJ, November 26 – Dec 20, 2012.
Gallery Artists: Gulgun Aliriza • Douglas Anderson • Theresa Bartol • Nancy Beal • Leslie K. Brill • Marie-Annick Brown • Suzie Buchholz • Richard Castellana • Michael Chelminski • Marcia Clark • Anne Diggory • Rosemary Dunbar • Ken Ecker • Judith Evans • Matthew Feinman • Sharyn Finnegan • Owen Gray • Margaret Grimes • Carol Heft • Marilyn Honigman • Sam Jungkurth • Charles Kaiman • John Leavey • Marjorie Kramer • Cornelia Kubler Kavanagh • Margaret Leveson • Helene Manzo • Alakananda Mukerji • Janie Paul • Manuela Paul • Chris Pelletiere • GerAldo Perez • Erica Child Prud'homme • Alexander Purves • Victoria Salzman • Gina Sawin • Janet Sawyer • Barbara Segal • Linda Smith • Deborah Stern • Sam Thurston • Jennifer Toth • Burt Van Deusen • Rose Weinstock • Jeanie Wing
NOTE: Due to the after-effects of the storm, the reception for the November exhibition, Jenny Toth: Capture and Release, has been postponed to Saturday November 10th , 3-6 pm.
Blue Mountain Gallery is located at 530 West 25th Street, 4th Floor, New York, NY. For more information, visit www.BlueMountainGallery.org, call 646-486-4730, or email email@example.com.

Q&A: Holy Wisdom Monastery's Sister Mary David Walgenbach
A commitment to inclusivity and a respect for the earth help define Sister Mary David Walgenbach and Holy Wisdom Monastery
Sister Mary David Walgenbach has known she wanted to lead a religious life since high school.
When did you recognize your calling to religious life?
I became aware of my dream to become a nun when I was in high school. I attended a Catholic grade school and a public high school in a small rural town in Iowa. The town had six hundred residents and four churches. At the public school, every day the teachers took turns reading from the Bible, which was followed by the students' recitation of the Lord's Prayer. There was a strong expectation that the children of Hospers, Iowa, would continue the tradition of supporting the school and attending church on Sunday.
What is your favorite thing about being prioress at Holy Wisdom Monastery?
The prioress is chosen by the community members to be their leader. My favorite thing about being prioress is participating in the human development of each sister and basking in the awareness of how much can be accomplished together. As leader, I am also able to have a voice in the ministries of the monastery and work with many dedicated and committed people who call the monastery their spiritual home.
The monastery offers Sunday Assembly as opposed to traditional Mass. What is the service like?
Sunday Assembly, an ecumenical community of women, men and children, meets on Sunday for worship at 9 a.m. The worship service is liturgical with a distinct liturgy of the word and Eucharist. We have four ordained presiders and eleven women and men with theological education who give homilies. All are welcome at the table. Inclusivity is important to the sisters and to all who come to worship.
When and how did the decision to host LGBT ceremonies arise?
This arose in 2010 when we began to inform people that weddings could be celebrated at the monastery. We received inquiries about holding LGBT ceremonies here. We welcomed them.
You've attended a number of spiritual retreats across the globe. Where did your most inspiring interreligious gathering occur?
Yes, our community at Holy Wisdom hosted Benedictine sisters from China, Kenya, Brazil, Nigeria and South Korea. I had the opportunity to visit their communities. I will always cherish the experience of attending a Roman Catholic Mass at the parish church in Nigeria. It was packed with at least one thousand people. We had waited two hours before the priest arrived. The entrance procession began with young men playing the drums and carrying the sheaths of their clans followed by young women in magnificent dresses and head adornments also dancing and singing. Because it was harvest Sunday, men and women carried on their heads bright-colored plastic containers filled with the first fruits from their gardens and set them before the altar to be given to those in need. The Mass lasted two hours.
Holy Wisdom is very green, receiving Leadership in Energy & Environmental Design certification from the U.S. Green Building Council. Why is this a central part of your mission?
Holy Wisdom Monastery is a Platinum LEED Certified Building that expresses the sisters' belief that the divine is present in all creation and that humans must remain acutely aware of the web of interconnections among all that exists. A sense of responsibility for the well-being of the environment is embedded within the tenets of monastic life, creating a deep commitment to the earth and its state of being ... To this day, working and protecting the surrounding environment remains a core element of Benedictine spirituality.

November 28, 2014
A police drug task force says it has wrapped up a long investigation into violent crime in northwest Virginia.
The Northwest Virginia Regional Drug Task Force, along with federal agents, ended a 17-month-long investigation into drugs, guns and violent crime.
The task force says the probe resulted in the seizure of more than $5 million worth of crack cocaine, and indictments of 26 suspected drug dealers. Many have already been convicted.
Although the investigation centered on drug dealers in Front Royal, officials say several major players from the Washington, D.C. area were also arrested.

JVC DLA-RS10 Projector Review
JVC DLA-RS10: Bottom Line Sharpness
Overall, I don't consider sharpness to be an important factor with the vast majority of 1080p projectors. While there are slight differences between the sharpest, and the average ones, it is something that people are only likely to notice with pure digital sources, less so, with film based movies. Even there, my college football games are more than "sharp enough". If you do want to get a slightly crisper image, try the controls. One last image set, this one from The Dark Knight – lots of fine detail, not that the sequence is on the screen more than a couple of seconds. For this I have the sharpness setting turned up.

I remember Saturday nights out, hangin' at the Drive In, hitting McDonald's for a couple of Big Macs afterwards then heading to Belgrade with my pal, Ricky, to hand out with our hot dates and kill a few "pounders." I thought about those nights this past Saturday as I listened to the droning of an air conditioner, twenty or more wires glued and taped to my head, chest and legs. On this wild Saturday, my only goal was to fall asleep.
The Homeless Veterans' Stand Down is an amazing event that will take place this Saturday starting with registration at around 9am at the V.A. at Togus.

We are safe for the moment on a tiny island off Krabi, honestly don't even know the name. It is a safe haven, a respite where we can gain strength again. Our Eco hotel is the only hotel here.

Ao Nang and the 7 Islands Sunset Tour
... just floated on top of the water and didn't have to worry about sinking. Not that you sink in salt water anyways, but it can feel a little disconcerting because I at least was not sure about this whole breathing thing and then on top of that having to worry about floating was just making me panic. And do you know what you do when you panic? Hyperventilate. Which doesn't work so well when you can only breathe through your mouth.
Finally, finally ...
Thailand over view
... Be prepared to be offered a suit, a tuk tuk or a massage every 3 seconds, more than likely every 2 seconds. You will get frustrated and they will try everything to get you in their shop or tuk tuk. There's a great t shirt that some of the stalls sell which says no I don't want a f***ing tuk tuk! suit or massage! It's probably wise to get one, you will get sick of saying no all the time. Ignore people It sounds awful but after your first week here ...
Thai - Land of boats, beaches, and buckets
... and free. The Krabi islands are amazing outcrops that scatter the sea. Unfortunately, because of the rain we couldn't rock climb which was one of the main reason why I came here. Just means I'll have to come back. The day did however end with an amazing thai buffet and night snorkelling with the luminescent plankton. It was as if I was swimming through the milky way. Unreal!!

THURSDAY, April 9 (HealthDay News) -- In patients who receive total hip and knee arthroplasty, an accelerated perioperative care and rehabilitation protocol is more cost-effective than a more standard protocol, according to a study published in the April issue of the Journal of Bone & Joint Surgery.
Kristian Larsen, Ph.D., of the Regional Hospital Holstebro in Denmark, and colleagues studied 45 patients who received the accelerated protocol and 42 patients who received the standard protocol for 12 months.
The researchers found that the accelerated protocol was associated with significantly lower costs (an average of about $4,000) than the standard protocol. Compared to the standard protocol, they also found that the accelerated protocol following hip arthroplasty was associated with an average gain of 0.08 quality-adjusted life-years, but found that it was not associated with a significant gain following knee arthroplasty.
"On the basis of our findings and those of the study by Brunenberg et al., we now believe that the available evidence favors the use of accelerated interventions after primary total hip arthroplasty, total knee arthroplasty, and unicompartmental knee arthroplasty," the authors conclude.

Curious about the newer model? Check out the 2014 Volkswagen Jetta
By KBB.com Editors
KBB Expert Rating: 6.6
In many respects, the all-new 2011 Volkswagen Jetta is a lesser car than its predecessor. The standard engine is far less powerful, the rear suspension is less sophisticated and the interior is no longer over-the-top refined. But it is roomier and more affordable, and that's just what Volkswagen thinks America wants. Yes, some of the Jetta's more discriminating devotees will be disappointed, but the new model will attract far more buyers than it loses. And even with the cost-cutting, the Jetta is still fun to drive and still has one of the category's finest interiors. Last three words: Outsider moving in.
Interior quality, driving dynamics and individuality are still Jetta strong suits. Now that prices are down and roominess is up, Volkswagen's perennial best-seller can even appeal to your practical side.
The 2011 Volkswagen Jetta's 115-horsepower base engine is the weakest in the category, and the lower prices still don't qualify the Jetta as a value leader (but its historically strong resale values don't hurt). Tech-savvy buyers wouldn't be wrong to expect more from the Jetta.
The 2011 VW Jetta is an all-new car with an all-new look, but the key changes can be summed up in two words: bigger and cheaper.
Driving Impressions Not everyone who buys a Jetta does so for things like steering feedback and roadholding ability, but European driving feel – for less than $20,000 – has been one of...the Jetta's greatest strengths for decades. Thankfully, given the simplified suspension and added length, it still is. The familiar 2.5-liter engine is punchy if short-winded, and the five-speed manual and six-speed automatic transmissions are just fine. Highway ride is firm within reason, and highway noise is on the quieter side of the category spectrum. We're eager to drive a Jetta with the smaller, 115-horsepower engine and smaller wheels - not because we think we'll love it, but to find out just how severe the penalty is.
Diesel Power
We haven't yet driven the 2011 Jetta TDI, but we're such big fans of Volkswagen's popular diesel engine that it's already one of our favorite Jetta features.
Cargo Room
The Jetta's newfound rear-seat roominess is welcome and useful, but the deep, massive trunk is a sight to behold.
The 2011 Volkswagen Jetta interior in a nutshell: more room, cheaper materials. Rear legroom, which was tight in the outgoing model, is up 2.7 inches and now best-in-class. But in areas where you'd find premium-like, soft-touch materials in the outgoing Jetta, the sixth-generation model features hard plastic. Moving up the trim ladder does buy a little more flair, and it's still among the nicest interiors in the class, but we wouldn't call it a $30,000 interior like we did the last Jetta's (and the current Golf's). The Jetta's huge trunk is also worth noting, as is the unremarkable sound system. Volkswagen's decision to put the USB port in the glove compartment could madden some whose phone and portable music player are one and the same.Exterior
The biggest Jetta ever measures about three inches longer than its predecessor. Some were hoping for more expressive sheetmetal, but we think it's a tasteful design that will stand the test of time. Exterior differentiators throughout the lineup range from small, 15-inch covered steel wheels on the base-model Jetta S, to mirror-integrated turn signals, front fog lamps, chrome accents and 17-inch alloy wheels on the Jetta GLS.
The 2011 Volkswagen Jetta S starts under $17,000, but with a weaker engine than its competitors and a pedestrian list of standard equipment. Highlights include air conditioning, power locks/windows/mirrors (with one-click up/down on all four windows) and a four-speaker AM/FM/CD sound system with auxiliary audio input. A full complement of standard safety features includes electronic stability control and six airbags.
A loaded 2011 Volkswagen Jetta GLS features a 2.5-liter 170-horsepower engine, six-speed automatic transmission, leatherette seats, USB audio input, Bluetooth phone connectivity, cruise control, heated seats, touchscreen navigation/audio with six speakers and SD memory card slot, Sirius satellite radio, moonroof, rear disc brakes, and keyless entry and start. The SEL trim also offers a Sport package with a lowered sport suspension, sport-bolstered seats, aluminum pedals and unique door sills.
The 2011 VW Jetta powertrain lineup will quickly grow to include four engines and four transmissions. The bread-and-butter combo is the 170-horsepower five-cylinder engine paired with a six-speed automatic transmission. The sport-tuned Jetta GLI will match Volkswagen's renowned 2.0-liter turbo engine with its quick-shifting and efficient six-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission (or a six-speed manual). The Jetta TDI will offer the same transmissions as the GLI, but mated to VW's also-celebrated turbo-diesel four-cylinder engine. At the other end of the spectrum, the base model 2011 Volkswagen Jetta S will be saddled with a 2.0-liter, 115-horsepower four-cylinder engine that, when matched to the auto transmission, has to strain for 11 seconds before pulling the car to 60 mph. A couple years down the road, we'll get a hybrid Jetta.

"2011 Jetta TDI Sedan w/ Convenience Package, Manual I have traded and driven 9 vehicles ranging from 2009 to 2011 models. This one i have had for the longest at...20 months and 20,000 miles. While the reviews say that the 2011 Jetta is of a lesser build quality, my Jetta is the most quiet ride i've ever been in. I enjoy the simple, yet pretty dash, the quiet ride, and the crazy good mileage. My model in a 2015 year has an MSRP of about 26,000, so maybe 24,000 after discounts. I have yet to find a better value for the money, especially for a new car price. Handles way better and is much more quiet than say.. a 2012ish model Honda Accord EX at about 27-29k new."

"I recently traded my high performance Volvo S60R for a 2013 VW GLI. I was hesitant because I had become spoiled by the Volvo's amazing power, luxury options and overall attention to clean design detail. I spent countless hours doing research and decided to test drive a few cars, the 2013 GLI being one of them. I was immediately impressed with the sporty feel of the GLI, the handling and tight road feel were right up my alley, and finding a manual transmission excited me as well. The small details like the red stitching, ergonomically friendly layout of instruments (typical VW) and overall "feel" of the car convinced me to make the purchase. I was surprised by the rear legroom in this car, it is HUGE compared to other cars I looked at. It has more room than the Mercedes E class! I LOVE this car and it is a JOY to drive every day. The only slight drawbacks are: * Small Navigation screen (that said, the "heads up" display in the center panel keeps your eyes forward) * Driver seat adjustments-- lacking lumbar support and the ability to raise or lower the FRONT of the seat itself, I tend to prefer the back of the seat low but the front raised for a more supportive feeling * Rain sensing wipers: I loved this feature on my 6 year older Volvo-- spoiled I know, but I suppose I will get used to it * Multi-disc changer: again, spoiled by the Volvo I suppose Overall, I'd buy this car again in a heartbeat. It is just the right mix of practical and sporty for me."

"I purchased this car less than six months ago and I actually hate it! I have attempted to get another car and was told this car was worth almost $10,000.00 less than I paid for it. I did my research and I got a good deal based on the KBB ratings. I am livid with VW. This car is so uncomfortable to drive, it jerks when acceleration is needed quickly, like oncoming traffic. The NAV system is hard to use and clunky, sound system is only fair and the sun roof is built in such a way that the sun shines directly into your eyes when its open. The seats are hard, hard to adjust and cheap material. Visibility is poor as it sits so low to the ground. Also, the diesel engine hates the cold and creaks and squeeks all the time. The only redeeming quality of this car is the gas mileage, which is very good."

My ONLY complaint would be that it doesnt have the smooth ride like my Dodge, but it is smoother than my Honda Civic. Between the gas mileage, the roomy interior, the clean sleek dash, the quickness of the engine, and the heated extremely comfortable seats, this is my all tie favorite car! Well worth the $$, and will probably buy another VW in the future!!"

Likely to recommend this car? (1-10): 10
"I purchased this vehicle under Volkswagens First time buyer program at the age of 18. I Absolutely love this car. I highly recommend going with the SE over the S model and there are a few reasons to that. The SE comes with Leatherette seats (which I am not a fan of, but it helps resale value) as well as a higher stereo system, and cruise control! I priced out an S with cruise control (approx. $800 extra) an that was set me to get the SE based on price. Why not get more, for a little more right? Overall I have driven this car to South Dakota, Nevada, Utah and Wyoming. So with that said she has seen all types of terrain. This car is a front wheel drive, but has no problem in the snow and rain or even in the mountains. Which was a major concern when I purchased the vehicle. As of right now, I don't know that I will ever drive another car that is not a Volkswagen. They really know how to make a car. The ride is impeccable. The road noise is non existent. The motor is so quiet sometimes I don't even know if my car is running."

Linking nucleus accumbens dopamine and blood oxygenation

Animal research suggests that anticipation of reward can elicit dopamine release in the nucleus accumbens (NAcc). Human functional magnetic resonance imaging (FMRI) research further suggests that reward anticipation can increase local blood oxygen level dependent (BOLD) signal in the NAcc. However, the physiological relationship between dopamine release and BOLD signal increases in the NAcc has not yet been established.
This review considers pharmacological MRI (phMRI) evidence for a directional relationship between NAcc dopamine release and BOLD signal, as well as implications for human psychopathological symptoms.
Accumulating phMRI evidence supports a simple model in which NAcc dopamine release activates postsynaptic D1 receptors, which changes postsynaptic membrane potential, eventually increasing local BOLD signal. This continuing influence can change on a second-to-second basis.
Dopamine release in the NAcc appears to increase local BOLD signal via agonism of postsynaptic D1 receptors. Such a physiological mechanism implies that FMRI may be used to track symptoms related to NAcc dopaminergic dysregulation in psychiatric disorders including schizophrenia and attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder.

Summer Sunshine. Now that it's finally started to get cold, grey and gloomy I'm instantly wishing it was summer once more. Really missing that hot sunshine, tanned skin and Vitamin D dosage ;)
Everything looks better in summer and days seem endless (not like now when it's pretty much game over at 3pm!).
However I don't have to wait too long for some much needed sunshine, Bali is only around the corner :)
Anyone else have any plans to escape the cold weather and head somewhere tropical?

- Like an unrequited lover, 'NYT' confesses itself heartbroken over Israel's (latest) betrayal of democracy
lysias November 25, 2014 at 5:56 pm
I heard on RT that the Knesset vote is scheduled for Monday.
- Palestinian youth hospitalized after being attacked by Israeli settlers in Jerusalem
Does raise the question: why does Obama insist on following a militarily absurd policy that is doomed to failure?
RT is saying that the disagreement was over how to handle ISIS and Syria. Sounds as though Hagel wanted it recognized that, to fight ISIS, it's necessary to keep Assad in power.
I suspect the reason for Hagel's departure is that he disagreed with the people in the administration who have just won out over keeping troops in Afghanistan. Remember, Hagel is a Vietnam vet (unusually, a former enlisted man) who has repeatedly demonstrated an aversion to unjustified U.S. military actikon.

Why doesn't the organization offer to buy the landlord liability insurance against the possibility of the Stolpersteine causing someone injury? I can't imagine such insurance would cost very much.
Also, Henry Wallace running on the Progressive ticket was very pro-Israel, and Democrats feared he would take a lot of Jewish votes away from Truman, especially in New York. (In the end, Dewey ended up taking New York 46-45, because Wallace got 8% of the vote there.)

I've just read a book on the Armenian genocide, The Great Game of Genocide, in which a contemporary source is quoted as calling a "holocaust" the burning of the Armenian part of a city. So the word was used for genocidal acts before the Nazi Party even existed.
Niemöller didn't say "First they came for the Jews". That was a Cold War distortion of his poem, which actually began "First they came for the Communists [Als die Nazis die Kommunisten holten, habe ich geschwiegen; ich war ja kein Kommunist], which happens to be historically accurate: Communist leaders were arrested the very evening of the Reichstag fire.

Also OT (apologies), Philip Nelson, the author of LBJ: The Mastermind of the JFK Assassination, has a new book just out, LBJ: From Mastermind to the Colossus. It has a chapter on the USS Liberty attack. I have just been reading it on my Kindle. He accepts Peter Hounam's Operation Cyanide theory. I can't tell you everything he says, as I am only midway in the chapter.

- Palestinians who targeted Jerusalem synagogue have sights set on U.S. -- Israeli propaganda
Jake Tapper put a stamp of approval on this argument when he stated that more American citizens have been killed by Palestinian terrorists in the last year than by ISIS. Dore Gold issued the same scary pronouncement on CNN.
I think he could only reach that count by including the Americans in the IDF who were killed in the recent Gaza hostilities. To say that they were killed by Palestinian terrorists is really deceptive.
Hamas? The Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine has claimed responsibility for yesterday's attack.
- For Obama officials, synagogue attack is 'pure terror' -- and not a word about attacks on Palestinians
RT television just mentioned the Al Aqsa mosque in connection with the attack in Jerusalem.
- 'Zionism' is now a dirty word for American opinion elite, Frank Luntz concedes
I don't watch at least an hour of news a day. I guess I don't qualify as elite (and I suspect the same is true of a lot of other Mondoweiss commenters).
Speaking of elites, Princeton Professors Open New Front in Campus Battle Over Israel.
The know-all surveillance state will certainly know. The Census Bureau in 1940, even though they weren't supposed to, kept track of where the Japanese-Americans were. (This is discussed in Edwin Black's IBM and the Holocaust.

One has to bear in mind that Israelis live in a largely mythic world, a somewhat modified and vastly simplified version of the Iliad.
Awfully unfair to the Iliad, in which by far the most sympathetic character is the Trojan Hector, most of the other Trojans, especially King Priam (but not Paris), are also treated sympathetically, some of the main Greeks, notably the leader Agamemnon, are presented as having serious faults, and even the hero of the epic, Achilles, is treated as having gone too far, as he is taught by King Priam in the climax of the poem. One cannot say that the Israelis' mythic world merely modifies and simplifies this.

Amira Hass was on Democracy Now! this morning. She mentioned that yesterday's attack took place on the site of Deir Yassin. She also mentioned that she was unable to enter the synagogue, as it does not admit women.

With its typical lack of honesty, the Israeli government denied that they had refused Holguin admission. Israel negó la entrada a Palestina a canciller colombiana:

I'm not sure it's much of an achievement to have revived Hebrew. In the process, Israel did its best to stifle Yiddish, a language with a genuine sense of humor (as exemplified in Benajmin Blech's Complete Idiot's Guide to Learning Yiddish), which I am not sure Modern Hebrew has.
- Why I confronted Gregor Gysi
lysias November 17, 2014 at 5:20 pm
ziusudra, you haven't explained why Gysi made those accusations of anti-Semitism.
lysias November 14, 2014 at 3:49 pm
The inscription "DEM DEUTSCHEN VOLKE" ("to the German people") was put on the facade of the Reichstag building in 1916, against the wishes of Kaiser Wilhelm II. It was a symptom of rising popular discontent with the government's war policies.
The inscription is still very visible on the facade of the rebuilt Bundestag building.
And his father was a cabinet minister in East Germany.
Gysi was a member of the ruling Communist Party (SED) in East Germany before the fall of the Wall. When Gorbachev came to power in the USSR, he was one of the leading German Communists supporting Gorbachev's reforms. A German court after unification convicted him of having collaborated with the Stasi. He had to resign from the Berlin municipal government in 2002 because of a scandal. His present behavior shows that all along he has been an opportunist and power-worshipper.
Jews die as result of the incitement of people like you and Max.
That's quite an accusation. Sort of reminds me of the accusations that Bradley/Chelsea Manning, Julian Assange, and Edward Snowden have caused deaths. Acccusations that it turned out could not be substantiated. Can you name one Jew who has died for the reason you assert?
- Sea change down under: Ex-Australian Foreign Minister announces himself a 'Friend of Palestine'
Look at this piece from Dissident Voice: Australian Democracy on the Israel Lobby's Leash.
Actually, Rudd's administration expelled the Israeli diplomat over the Israeli use of false Australian passports and abstained in the UN vote on the Goldstone Report in early 2010, obviously before Rudd was dumped as prime minister. Look at how Murdoch's The Australian reported this in 2011, after Rudd had been dumped: Rudd defied advice on UN vote in wake of Israel forged passport scandal, Wikileaks says.
Actually, this is not a sudden epiphany on Carr's part. As this piece makes clear, Carr as Foreign Minister argued with Prime Minister Gillard precisely on Israel/Palestine.
That was widely speculated at the time of Rudd's ouster in 2010. Judge for yourself from this piece by an Australian historian of the Labor Party, Brian McKinlay, The Zionist Lobby Under Fire in Oz:
The crisis came in the last months of Gillard's term when the question of Palestinian membership of UNESCO came up for consideration. Gillard was a notorious Zionist from the very inception of her 3-year term, and she was well know for her great support, without any conditions, for Israel. She had links with the Israeli Embassy in Canberra and the Zionist Lobby which also had a fifth column inside the Labor Party, which too has, like it's US counterpart the Democrats, always had links with the Jewish Lobby.
When Deputy Prime Minister after 2007 Gillard went with a delegation to Israel as guest of a Melbourne Jewish millionaire who organises such events and who provided a job for her hairdresser partner as a salesman for his property empire.
She made no effort while there to visit or see the conditions of the Palestinian people…and one may surmise that her Israeli hosts would have seen to that aspect of her visit. In 2010 she replaced the disastrous Rudd as PM in a" palace coup", and narrowly won power in a closely divided Parliament.
What was Carr's position when Kevin Rudd was dumped as prime minister in favor of Julia Gillard, largely as a result of Zionist pressure?
Be it noted: Ed Miliband is himself Jewish. Therefore this looks quite significant to me. Especially since polling indicates that the next government after next year's election may well be Labour, and thus led by Ed Milliband.
- Al Jazeera investigates the USS Liberty attack in 'The Day Israel Attacked America'
lysias November 21, 2014 at 6:46 pm
I finished reading the section of Nelson's book (it turns out to be more than one chapter) on the Liberty. Nelson argues that LBJ ordered the Israelis to attack the ship. This, if true, would mean that LBJ was primarily responsible, and the Israelis only secondarily responsible, for the attack.
Philip Nelson, the author of LBJ: The Mastermind of the JFK Assassination, has a new book just out, LBJ: From Mastermind to the Colossus. It has a chapter on the USS Liberty attack.

Care to explain why, if it was not deliberate, the Israelis were jamming U.S. Navy frequencies?
You don't believe someone like me who belonged for several years to the branch of the Navy that the USS Liberty belonged to should care about what happened to that ship and that crew?
Recent arrivals at this site may find this earlier thread on the attack on the Liberty of interest.

Cryptologic technicians were enlisted men in the Navy's signals intelligence outfit, the Naval Security Group. (I was myself a Cryptologic Technician 1st Class before I got a direct commission as a Lieutenant Junior Grade.)

There's every reason to believe that the attack on the Stark, unlike the attack on the Liberty, really was a case of mistaken identity. The Iraqis later claimed that the Stark was mistaken for an Iranian tanker. One Iraqi plane fired two Exocet missiles at the Stark, and one of them detonated. The Iraqi plane immediately withdrew. The whole attack occupied mere seconds. There was no further attack.
lysias November 11, 2014 at 4:31 pm
Even before the attack started, the Israelis were jamming any radio frequencies the Liberty might use to get off an SOS: both the International Distress Frequency (which it is a war crime to jam) and U.S. Navy frequencies. Why would you do that if you didn't know it was a U.S. ship.
Then, when Israeli aircraft launched the attack, the first thing they did was to send heat-seeking missiles to knock out the Liberty's radio antennae. The obvious purpose was to prevent the ship from sending out an SOS. Fortunately, one of the antennae had been out of order and thus down, so the crew frantically repaired it, brought it back up, and succeeded in sending out an SOS to the U.S. fleet despite the jamming. Had they not done that, the ship would undoubtedly have been sunk with all hands on board. (Remember, they fired at the lifeboats.)
As an enlisted man in Air Force signals intelligence from 1969 to 1972 and a reserve officer in Navy signals intelligence for many years after that, I can confirm that it was the general opinion throughout the U.S. military signals intelligence community that Israel, in attacking the Liberty, knowingly attacked a U.S. ship. To say that it was accidental is hogwash.
The reactor at Dimona went critical on Dec. 24, 1963. Interesting date.
As for what hold Israel had over LBJ, I strongly suspect Israel knew the truth about the JFK assassination and the extent of LBJ's involvement in it. (There can be no doubt that LBJ orchestrated the coverup after the assassination. That much is incontestable.)

If Adelson became the dominant shareholder, the NYT's diminishing circulation would turn into a death spiral. He might keep it alive with subsidies, but what would that get him?
- What is the vision of Jews who want to replace Al Aqsa mosque with temple?
It's not just modern. During the Peloponnesian War, when the Spartans occupied the Attic countryside while the Athenians were in the city of Athens behind the city walls, the Spartans cut down the Athenians' olive trees.
I suppose the Israelis would be proud of the idea that they are imitating the Spartans. I don't think many other people would be.
- Dempsey bucks Obama line by praising Israelis for Gaza tactics
lysias November 9, 2014 at 5:58 pm
Given the prevailing winds in that part of the world, if the Israelis had dropped a nuke on Gaza, there would have been a lot of fallout falling on Israel.
- Evangelical Christians come under attack as more move to oppose Israeli occupation
lysias November 9, 2014 at 5:54 pm
I think Martin Luther was right in wanting to expel the Book of Revelation (what as a Catholic I grew up calling "the Apocalypse") from the Scriptures.
But, if you include it, I think it pretty clearly includes an attack on the non-Christian Jews of the time ("synagogue of Satan" and all that), even if recent scholars like Elaine Pagels want to interpret that language to be an attack on certain Christians whom the writer did not like.

Correction: the Truman-Mossadegh meeting took place at Blair House (the White House was undergoing repairs at the time.) Also, it took place in late 1951.
lysias November 6, 2014 at 4:33 pm
The Truman administration opposed British proposals to topple Mossadegh. Mossadegh in fact visited Truman in the White House in 1952, after the oil nationalization, and the discussions were apparently friendly. The decision to join the British in toppling Mossadegh was apparently a very early decision of the Eisenhower administration in 1953. In fact, the Dulles brothers had already decided before Ike's inauguration that Mossadegh had to go, and then they somehow prevailed upon Ike to go along once he had taken office. Stephen Kinzer suggests in his book The Brothers that the Dulles brothers had personal financial reasons for wanting the regime change.

Billy Wilder was an Austrian (Viennese) Jew whose earlier movie career, again, had been in Germany. Erich Korngold was an Austrian (Moravian) Jew. Werner Heymann was a German (East Prussian) Jew.
Film noir is basically a transplant of the atmosphere and cinematography of Weimar German films to Hollywood.

Speaking of Linz and Catholic Jews, the Catholic Jew and famous philosopher Ludwig von Wittgenstein studied in Linz at the same Realschule as Adolf Hitler (they were in different classes).

On the other hand, it was Fred Astaire's father who apparently was the Catholic Jew.

Indifference to social norms and high intelligence also were characteristics of such characters as Adolf Hitler and Joseph Stalin.
- Ambassador Power to kick off 3-hour event on 'never-ending' genocide of Jews
I switched from reading the WSJ to the FT when it became clear that the WSJ had been lying about the Iraq war (which the FT opposed).
And the Financial Times on Saturday Nov. 1 in its weekend edition had an editorial calling on the U.S. to no longer protect Israel at the UN with its veto.
And she's Irish, so I'm sure she understands the plight of the Palestinians.
Unfortunately, she married the ultimate insider, Cass "cognitive infiltration" Sunstein, the former head of the Office of Information and Reuglatory Affairs, the most powerful office in the executive branch that you never heard of.`
Wiesel, who took so long to recognize the reality of the genocides of the Armenians and the Gypsies.

This past weekend's Financial Times (Nov. 1) had an editorial calling for the U.S. to stop protecting Israel in the Security Council with its veto.

And if the Israelis had to blackmail LBJ, that presumably means that Peter Hounam's case in his book Operation Cyanide: How the Bombing of the USS Liberty Nearly Caused World War Three that the Liberty was attacked because Israel and LBJ both wanted a casus belli for the U.S. entering the Six Day War on Israel's side (which could have existed if Egypt had been blamed for the attack) is not true. So I have to ask, since Hounam's case is so plausible: what's the evidence that LBJ was blackmailed?

They said LBJ was blackmailed? Did they say what was used to blackmail him? Was it Israel's knowledge of what really happened in the JFK assassination?

Chinese cuisine meetup group in NYC?
- pinkylechat Jan 6, 2008 01:00 PM
Is there such a thing? I googled and found nothing, surprisingly. I've been faithfully reading some regulars' invaluable opinions on this board and love to try some of the places recommended but with a group of like-minded foodies who're really into Chinese food, especially Cantonese. (I live in Queens but grew up in Chinatown; can speak and read Chinese.) Maybe I can start up a group who meets once a month? All suggestions and opinions greatly appreciated. Thanks!
Are you familiar with Meetup.com? If you don't find a group that you're looking for, you can try starting one up.0
re: Little Neck Clam
Meetup is a good idea. After perusing the site it seems that there's no Chinese cuisine group. But you can start one up. There's the Spicy Food Dining Group that sounds so tempting -- but I'm trying to eat blander.0
I'm not sure if such a group exists, but if you pull one together, count me in!0
If you do start one, let me know, please. I'd be interested. Thanks0
Thanks for all your responses. I am considering starting this meetup. Stay tuned, all ye hungry people!0
I'm a Cantonese food whore. Don't let anyone tell you that we have no cheese or milk dishes....I'm in for meetup. Would be great if people knew how to cook some dishes not found in NY.0
Hounds on many different boards have organized dinners and other gatherings and they're always a lot of fun--plus the reports after are great chow tips! Please see our guidelines about organizing chowdowns, here:0

For you desert wanders, watch out for rattlers down by the water and also up in the bushes! Thats where they cool themselves. For you steelheaders, check your hook and leader after every snag on the bottom, even if it comes off easily. Sharpen your hook and replace your leader with a passion! You won't regret it. And don't leave a run unless you feel you've covered it well.
