RUSSIA ISOLATED? Not at APEC – here's the thousand word photo. And not at G20 either – BRICS had a happy meeting. The West and its tame media is seriously deluding itself with this Russia is isolated stuff.
NEW NWO. Russia bought 55 tonnes of gold in the last quarter. What's that mean? here's a theory. (Ukraine's gold, on the other hand, is almost all gone.) Meanwhile, an arms sale to China. Sberbank offers Yuans. Another huge gas deal. Increasing military cooperation. India-China. New financial instruments. Petrodollar. Russia-Pakistan. It marches. Who thought Ukraine would be so important?
NUKES. Russia has them; they work: Bulava, Topol and Sineva. Meanwhile, in the USA not so much.
NONSENSE. It's never easy to pick the most idiotic anti-Russian rant but here's the latest: "Putin's Russia is one of the most loathsomely misogynistic countries in the world". Fact: Russia has more women in senior management than any one else. But, it's Russia, what do facts have to do with it?

Score from 1537 reviews Very good
The room loked much older and used, completely different than on the pictures. Plus I do not understand, why my bill was saying I am from Russia, when I am not and hopefully never be
Kitchen, laundry, Breakfast were good for a family to spend some days.
The elevators take time especially in the morning with many people getting breakfast or checking out on 1st floor.
All the taxes!
Unfortunately nothing
Everything bad and I recommend all people " Don't stay in this hotel"
temperature control and lighting in rooms are easy to control.
Breakfast is included in the room rate, but effectively impossible to take as there are not enough tables and chairs to accommodate all guests. Quality of food at breakfast is awful. Kitchen in room is useless as there is nowhere to sit and eat what you might have prepared. This is just a ruse to call them "suites" and charge more. Wifi very flakey.
Well , will have a problem with box , actually my stay was absolutly perfect , i liked everything , the room , the kitchen , the staff , breakfast , anything was nice . Have been many time in this area , can't get anything for this price , no way . Will be back there for sure on all my trips to New York . Will not try for free another place .
I am a very difficult custumer but you won't believe , i disliked nothing at all
Excelent location Very comfortable room No noise at 25th floor Breakfast included
Few elevators for rush hours Restaurant crowd during morning Wifi very slow and not working all the time
Well stocked kitchen w/ clean, working facilities. Bellhops and Consierge were very helpful! Across the street from the Port Authority. Good location!!
No early check-in. Was told they would check on the room and call, but didn't. Extremely slow elevators. Need service elevators for the workers. Was not told of extra seating in the bar area.
The value was excellent; the hotel far exceeded our expectations. They even granted us with a late checkout!
Slow elevators, no tub in our room.
Great location and great staff.
Noisy refrigerator in the room.
view waiters service(especially Karina Castillo)
elevators slowness
We walked out of the bus terminal and the hotel was 1 block away. Close to theatre district, plenty of places to eat and sites to see within walking distance. Staff was very nice and the breakfast buffet was vast with an assortment of foods.
The bar closed to early!
Is perfect
I loved how clean this hotel was. Having the kitchenette there was useful. And worth the money.
The wait for the elevators was unbelievable. We stayed on the 3rd floor so thank god the walk upstairs wasn't bad. But anyone staying above that floor, good luck waiting for the elevators. Location was okay, it's like in the back streets, wasn't a bad walk from Time Square, I still recommend not walking alone at night there.
We enjoyed staying at the Staybridge! From the time we arrived, the staff was excellent,especially Jaime, who did everything to accommodate us! We were celebrating our 40th Wedding Anniversary and were surprised when we arrived after walking around NYC for the day ~a bottle of wine and chocolates with a note of celebration to us!! This is a great place to stay, so clean, great breakfast buffet, reduced parking and close to everything!! We will definitely stay there again! If you stay there, hopefully Jaime will greet you with his super smile and caring way!!!
The staff at the hotel were great. The front lobby staff were fun and lively. Good breakfast and great location
My husband and I took our first trip to NY recently and this hotel made the experience so much better! It was clean, the staff was super helpful, the breakfast and free happy hour was wonderful, and the location was perfect! The room was actually a decent size for NY, and the kitchen was actually useful. Would definitely stay there again
The shower in the bathroom was a little small, I could barely turn around in it. Also, sometimes the elevator took a while to get on because of all the people and floors (not the hotels fault just annoying). On our last day there the elevator broke and we had to walk 18 floors to get to our room, which wasn't fun, but hey at least we got to walk off our breakfast!
Location Breakfast Kind staff Good fast WiFi
slow elevators! small breakfast place a bit small rooms
Breakfasts very good; Happy Hour on Tue., Wed., & Thur. was a pleasant surprise and food very ample; Location perfect for theaters; All staff we dealt with were pleasant and helpful.
Business Center was completely inadequate. We did not travel with a laptop, iPad, etc and I am used to a hotel business center with better computers, etc. The 4 objects (I could not call them computers) on the counter in Biz. Center were awful. Lighting in room was not bright enough. Shower too small.
It is my second time to stay this hotel. I prefer this place cause it serves free breakfast and has simple kitchen facility. The facilities in general are fair compared with the price of Manhattan standard. Staffs are also pleasant and eager to assist, if we have request. Also the laundry room downstairs is big help for travelers.
There are constructions both sides of the building, which cause severe noise even early in the morning. The elevators are always busy and we need to wait for it at least 5 min. The location is quite convenient for everything, but due to Port authority the street is a bit dirty and crowded.
Location breakfast kitchen facilities room clean and big
wifi not stable heater doesn't work for the first 2 nights
Comfortble and clean
Close to Time square Beds are OK (pillows a bit big) Kitchen in the room (although we did not use it)
Only 3 small elevators for over 200 rooms (prepare to wait on the rush hours, or walk down the 32 stories). Breakfast included... if you can find a table to seat! Same problem as the elevator, wait too many people for the little lunch area. Quite a bad way to start the day. Although it says Parking, the parking area is actually 3 blocks away (43rd street, between 8th and 9th avenue)... not too practical nor nice when it rains. Small shower - impossible to turn the water on without either being in the shower (being soaked in cold water) or having the door opened (and having water sprayed all over the place).
The inclusion of breakfast which could be eaten in the Breakfast Room or could be selected and then taken back to one's own room. A good laundry on site.
Information re eating options around the area could have been more forthcoming.
Great location
Chaos at breakfast, no where to sit at peak times

German car mag Autobild has just placed its bet on what BMW's future lineup will look like by the end of the decade. Leading off will be a new large hardtop convertible, a successor to the Z8 if you will. While Autobild's rendering is mostly speculation, it clearly identifies the car as a meaty two-seater with a traditional long hood, short rear deck design. BMW should buy the rights to this gorgeous pic and just build it as is. The following list is what Autobild claims to have learned about the Z8 successor.
- Targeted at Mercedes-Benz SL
- Priced from 80,000 to 100,000 Euro ($102,000 to $128,000 USD)
- Target weight of 3,300 lbs.
- 15,000 annual units for seven years beginning with 2010 launch
- Possible engines include a 3.0L turbo I6 with 306 hp, a 4.4L V8 turbo wtih 408 hp, the lauded 5.0L V10 with 507 HP and possibly a 6.3L V12 turbo making 605 hp
- M model planned
[Source: Autobild]
Next Gen BMW Z4 - holds the Bangle at bay with soft curves
3-Series hardtop convertible - looks like a 3-series sedan with two less doors and no top... exciting.
X6 large sport utility - we've been wondering when BMW would target the Mercedes-Benz GL class

Thursday 11 December 18.00 - 20.00
Knitter and artist Felicity Ford will discuss her practice and the mediums that inform her work. Her particular 'obsession' with combining wool and sounds began, in her own words, 'in 2007 when I knitted a sound system and played the sounds of making my dinner through it…From the moment I cast off, pressed play, and pushed a soft speaker playing sizzling onions to my ears, I knew I was on to something!'
Felicity is interested in everyday things, women's history and labour, and the home as a specific site of meaning, exploring these obsessions through recording, podcasting, hand-knitting, radio-making, dyeing, spinning, and writing.

text: [SFW Video] French band splices gay porn into music video The GA Voice Editors July 9, 2012 Culture From the band's website: The Aikiu is a French pop band from Paris influenced by new wave and electronic music. Formed by Alex Aikiu (lead vocals), Julien Vichnievsky (keyboards) and Barnabé Nuytten (bass), the band recently welcomed Nuno Cordeiro (guitar) and Tatiana Mladenovitch (drums) for the stage. The Aikiu will release its 1st album in 2012, after 2 EP ("Just can't sleep" and "The red kiss") produced by Pilooski (Discodeïne) and released on the label "Abracada". This album co-arranged with Pilooski and produced by Guillaume Brière (The Shoes), delivers sheer rock energy and vintage keyboards along with very intimate lyrics. The melody and the voice support a delicate and edgy songwriting, where emotion and attitude are in perfect harmony. Their songs are like musical Polaroid pictures, pop declarations and timeless treasures, modern and old fashioned at the same time.

No SOE This Weekend – Looking to the Future May 14, 2011Posted by Wilhelm Arcturus in entertainment, Sony Online Entertainment.
Tags: PlayStation Network, Security
SOE has not put up a "not today" message since Thursday. I'm not sure if that is a bad thing or a good thing. They did say it would be a few more days at that point, so I guess they felt they were covered… at least for a few more days.
So it looks like the weekend is out.
I think the next stage will be to start announcing that the servers will be up "soon." Long time SOE veterans know what that means. There is even an official definition in the knowledge base.
Hopefully this will be the last weekend down.
On another comment thread I made a dire prediction that if SOE was down for three weekends or more, it would pretty much be the end of SOE as we know it. If it is only two… well, what do you think will happen?
This is going to be costly outage for them. They are not currently billing and won't bill players for the down time. Thus every day down costs SOE a lot, in case you were wondering if they were motivated to move as fast as possible on this. Plus they have promised to give each subscriber an additional 30 days free for their trouble.
Can SOE get back to business as usual while losing almost 2 months of revenue this year?
- 1. Troy - May 14, 2011
I have said my goodbye to the company, but found it rich that I got a 14.99 charge on my credit card very near the time of them going down. Perhaps it was just the end of my month cycle, but find it so disingenuous of them to have done that — they could have rolled it off, I bet the accounting department is sitting twiddling thumbs.
There are just too many other games out there to constantly harangue over what this company is going to do to win back my money and trust.
Even after they bring the servers back on line, and tempt me to return with frivolous gifts that cost them nothing (Sony Cash, come on!!). They need to make a game that people want to play. Sadly EQ is in a downward spiral, and the recent expansions of EQ II show pretty much the same. I heard DC Heroes is horrible mess – Vanguard? Joke! SWG? Dead since they refined the game years ago. What else is there?
The vision of Sony was lost years ago and everyone at the company has become a ghost, simply hanging on because they have no where else to go.
- 2. Green Armadillo - May 14, 2011
The next two months, along with the costs of the identity theft insurance etc, are effectively a sunk cost at this point. Sony is not a startup that is going to go bankrupt in the next two months because the fees aren't coming in. They can foot the bill for staff etc and they will… as long as the revenue is there when the thing comes back online.
The bar is relatively low to keep a single server running for a game that isn't doing much. My guess is that DCUO is in the most short term danger because it is a licensed IP and the game hasn't been around long enough to build a solid playerbase. In the medium-long term, I think the larger games might have a bit more to worry about, because it's certainly possible that some portion of the players won't come back from wherever they've gone. That's potentially a double whammy, if it causes staff reductions that make it harder to retain those who are left.
- 3. bhagpuss - May 14, 2011
We have literally no idea how profitable SoE was or wasn't before this disaster.
We don't know what plans Sony above SoE had for the studio in the medium or long term.
We don't know what factions are involved within the various parts of the company, what their agendas are, whose hand the security breach strengthens, whose it weakens.
Anything could happen, from the complete closure of SoE through to a higher profile within Sony and an increase in budgets and projects. Sony could decide to drop out of the MMO market entirely, move their whole MMO focus away from PCs to console, increase development of either or both, or just re-open the doors and carry on as if nothing had happened.
My guess? In the short term I tend to think that Sony will want to show they can ride even a punch this hard so I think not much will change immediately. Once the dust has settled, in six months or a year, if there are SoE MMOs that haven't recovered, it could get messy.

The average net worth of a Congress member is almost $7 million, and a Senator almost $12 million. If that's not direct evidence of corruption I don't know what is.
Zop, you can call me crazy and a fool all you want, I honestly don't care as you narrow minded opinion means absolutely nothing to me, but I would appreciate it if you didn't insinuate that I'm anti-Semitic. That's pretty low, even for you.
it was clear he was in bed with the manager
Like Jon Corzine in bed with the manager, or merely "in bed with the manager"?
Purely financial. I hope.
I think Rants is a Quebecer, in which case his pessimism about corrupt government is entirely understandable.
The funny thing is that, Quebec aside, we live in the least corrupt times in history.
Boxing was better in my youth. Everything else, probably not so much.

Kill Bill 3: The Best Anti-Bill Quotes (just for fun...)Submitted by Molusk on Fri, 07/12/2013 - 00:42
Intellectual debates can become intense and emotional. Sometimes it is fun to just have a laugh about some of the things we say. I know I am as guilty.
WINNER: Power of lies. I think that your ideas are flawed, false, and dangerous to life on Earth.
-A vote FOR this post is a vote AGAINST the Declaration of Independence.
-In a black and white world, you play word games. If you do not understand a birthright of freedom, well go on with your bla bla nonsense that is word mumbo jumbo....
-You're the very reason Ayn Rand despised libertarians.
-BILL3 you have proven your self many times here on DP as one to be disregarded. ... Big time fail here for BILL3...
-It's embarrassing for people in the liberty movement to be this ignorant. Go read Hazlitt.
-Lol you really just need to read more and gasbag less.
-I hat tip you for the post, but somehow still find you on my troll list with no reason to remove it.
-In the words of a great prophet, stupid is, as stupid does. Billy boy
-Bump to illuminate the idiocy.
-Bill3 Is a state apologist, need I say more? I honestly couldn't make it through the first two paragraphs.
-Bill, you amazing ignoramus....
These were the funniest ones.
The only one I couldn't copy over was the giant picture of Mr. Rogers flipping me the bird. That was priceless.
What's really amazing is how few of the comments overall were negative or personal...
You guys are awesome!
You help me sharpen my mind and I hope I do the same for you.

I honestly think you're just
I honestly think you're just trolling... I have no issue with it nor do I care for it, but I do like to see some funny lines, so upvoted lol
fuck you
for making me thing that Kill Bill 3 came out, and that I missed it :)
"Although it was the middle of winter, I finally realized that, within me, summer was inextinguishable." — Albert Camus
This reminds me of something that happened to me today
I was driving downtown - had to get down to take care of some stuff before my trip to Japan tomorrow.
I was in the wrong lane, and had to get over one to the left. I thought I had an opening, but this huge panel van honked at me, wouldn't let me get over, and swooped in in front of me. I got into the lane behind him, but I was so pissed off at him that I honked and flipped him off directly into his side mirror.
He looked back at me, and flipped me off with two fingers. And he kind of made this dancing move with them, and had this goofy grin on his face. And I just thought it was so funny that I flipped him off with my two fingers as well, and I could see him in the mirror and we both started cracking up.
And I realized, it just wasn't worth it - getting all worked up like that. I was so stressed, trying to get everything done in time. The truth is, even if I didn't get that stuff done, it wasn't going to be the end of the world.
We get into these intellectual arguments, and it does get heated. It gets heated because we have investments (usually in our ego, and in the fact that we're right!) That's what makes it fun. Just don't go overboard.
I appreciate the post since I have no investment in it. It is funny. Of course, if I felt like I was being attacked in there - MAN WOULD I BE PISSED! Lol. It is all good. Just take a step back, and remember. It's only a ride.
this was hilarious, picturing
this was hilarious, picturing this. thanks for sharing. awesome vid. about d amn time we explore space, inner and outer, for ever.
I'm glad I could be of some service in entertaining you
It reminded me of this little passage as well.
Thanks Bill!
same here, enjoy your trip!
same here, enjoy your trip!
Get A Clue
"Bill, Please just stop. This one isn't even that good."
Dreadfully vile troglodyte
Bill3 is a conspicuously ignominious delinquent and a decrepit soul-destroying cesspool of sub-human filth.
And one from BILL3
this is one of the dumbest comments i've ever seen.
first of all you don't know the difference between punctuation and capitalization. all of my sentences are punctuated, i just choose not to apply case in comment threads.
your first sentence is meaningless and poorly constructed. you can't write for sh1t.
"the rest is just of wall of text to, forlornly, attempt to bludgeon.... with wall of words."
my post is a" wall of text" to hit people with a "wall of words," to... forlornly... you manage to say nothing, and do it in an ugly, graceless manner that mangles the english language.
then you say "its not as if its unclear what rothbard says."
you appear to believe that, if its not unclear what someone says, they are therefore right. or that no two people could read something and disagree. since your simpleton brain sets the standard for all others.
finally, your quote from TJ, justifying government by republican democracy, against monarchy. what kind of idiot would think arguing for a republic is an argument for no government.
please do everyone a favor a refrain from thinking.
guess it wouldn't be complete
guess it wouldn't be complete without one of mine. thanks!

January 12, 2006
Virginia is trying to make sure more students graduate from high school this year and to do that, it's enforcing tougher standards.
More than two-thirds of the students in Albemarle County graduate from schools like this--but the state's new goal is much lower and some say it's too low.
"We can do a lot better than 61 percent," said Angela Ciolfi an Attorney for Just Children.
Last year the state's goal was to graduate 57 percent of it's students--but a new goal raises that number to 61 percent.
"I think it's a shame that we are under-aspiring for graduation rates. Right now at 57 percent, the current target, we are fourth from the bottom nationally. Moving it up to 61 percent will bump us up to seventh from the bottom," said Ciolfi.
But some say it's a good start and is just a place holder as the real state graduation rate is much higher. Charlottesville just graduated 77 percent. And Albemarle attributes much of it's 84 percent graduation to providing academic options for students.
"We need to look at the number of students getting advanced student diplomas," said Bruce Benson, Assistant Superintendent of Albemarle's Student Learning. "Albemarle's very fortunate to have a high percentage of students receiving advanced student diplomas. This past year that was 63 percent and I do believe that's among the highest in the state."
Studies show that you can identify potential drop-outs as young as 4th grade and the key is to intervene early.
The Virginia Board of Education will revisits the issue after 2008.

One of the heartening facets of this week's Academy Awards on ABC (Mon., March 30, 9 P.M. ET) is the nomination of John Singleton as best director for Boyz N the Hood. But while black filmmakers are making inroads in Hollywood, that progress is mostly restricted to feature films. The production of TV movies remains disproportionally white both in front of and behind the camera. A film like this week's Final Shot (see review), with a predominantly black cast, is still very much a rarity.

There are many decisions when we drive up to a drive through at a fast food restaurant.
You may know exactly what you want every time from the normal menu, but did you know some restaurants have a secret menu?
Some do, and some don't. We found out in this week's "Pin it in a Minute" that you should be careful when searching secret menus online, and that some aren't real.
At Panera, there's a "Hidden Menu" that contains breakfast options and lunch options that are more health-conscious. We ordered the "Power Steak Lettuce Wraps" from the pin on Pinterest from mypanera.panerabread.com.
At Starbucks, there's a "Secret Menu" that contains a number of off-menu items. We ordered the "Blended Strawberry Lemonade," which is a strawberry lemonade frappucino. The barista we spoke to said a lot of the time people will order it, and they may not know what is in the secret menu item, so the best way to order is to know what goes in your drink in case no one else does. That pin was found on Pinterest from themetapicture.com.
However, not all secret menus online hold to be true, like the one found on techeblog.com about McDonald's. Before you order any item off a "secret menu" online, make sure it comes from a credible source.

"This set of address labels...MY FAVORITE!!!! The red on the label really pops with the lime border. I thought the label looked great online but looks even better in person."
"These labels came quickly and packaging was protected great. They were very easy to order , instructions were clear! Nice quality labels and was perfect for a New Home Gift!"
"This would have to be my favorite return address label I have ordered so far! It is totally me and I love being able to put my personality on the outside of my envelope."
"These traditional return address labels are very elegant and have a touch of an era gone by. At first I thought the dark outer border would be too much and make the label look heavy, but half of the label stays with the paper, so the size is less thick. I really love these labels and will get some more for the Holidays"
"This was my first experience with the site and creating an anniversary card. It came out "great". An updated and modern design for a 50th anniversary card from the typical usual selection. The quality of the paper was excellent. I will use them again. Very satisfied."

Washington Report on Middle East Affairs, November/December 1996, pages 29, 137
Speaking Out
It's Time for Arafat to Put Netanyahu on the Defensive
by Paul Findley
As he approaches his 30th year as the world's most prominent and persistent advocate of Palestinian rights, Yasser Arafat must be having long somber thoughts about policy options that remain. He is reeling on the defensive.
Although he heads the Palestinian National Authority (as he calls it; Israel and its supporters omit the word national) and bases his operations in the new Palestine (known elsewhere as the occupied territories or the administered territories, the favorite Israeli euphemism), he is less independent, in some respects, than ever before.
His world and therefore the Palestinian world remains controlled by the Israeli government. He is on a short leash, and the prime minister of Israel holds the leash.
On the first four of the five memorable occasions when I have had direct discussions with the Palestinian chief, Arafat reminded me that he had only a few cards to play in his crucial political game with the government of Israel.
The first and most potent card was official recognition of the State of Israel. The second was a pledge of nonviolence. Arafat said he must guard these cards with great care and play them only when they were certain to win important advances for the Palestinian people. On my second meeting with him, in November 1978, Arafat was more specific: if Israel would withdraw its forces from the West Bank (which includes East Jerusalem) and the Gaza Strip, and establish a connecting corridor between the two, the new Palestine would establish de facto diplomatic and commercial relations with Israel, live at peace with Israel and all other neighboring states, and halt all violent efforts to enlarge the size of Palestine.
To me, it was a pledge of enormous significance. With high hopes, I relayed it to Cyrus Vance, President Jimmy Carter's secretary of state, and to Carter's national security adviser, Zbigniew Brzezinski. Sadly, the pledge was ignored, not even acknowledged. Even the news media gave it almost zero attention.
From his base of operations, then situated in Damascus, Arafat probably wondered if he had erred in offering specifics on the price he would demand in exchange for recognizing the State of Israel and an end to PLO-sponsored violence.
In many ways, Arafat's PLO was riding high worldwide. It was unchallenged as the leader and authority of all things Palestinian. It had the solid allegiance of Palestinians in the occupied territories, and Arafat's skill kept together under the PLO umbrella a variety of subgroups ranging from pacifists to those pledged to bomb throwing.
Palestinians were in the majority in East Jerusalem, still the social, cultural and religious hub of Palestinian activity. The construction of Jewish settlements in the occupied territories had only begun and, in the words of the late Israeli prime minister, Yitzhak Rabin, those few were built with such stealth that no one in Washington noticed.
Arafat then received the political support of all Arab states without exception and substantial financial support from some. Although shunned as an untouchable terrorist by Israel and its chief benefactor, the United States, Arafat and his organization had the sympathy and support of more than 100 governments, as well as many non-governmental organizations worldwide. He managed to avoid subserviency to any of these non-Palestinian sources.
The Palestinians controlled no land, but the PLO functioned as an independent government in all other respects, providing medical, social, educational and military services for those in the diaspora.
There must be moments now when Arafat reflects on those days as heady ones. Some Palestinians recall them as the best of times and consider today's circumstances as far worse. Once a leader with great power and independence, Arafat is now under the Israeli thumb as never before.
In solemn undertakings, he has played the precious cards he once held close to his chest. Even though Palestinians exert control over no land at all, Arafat has recognized the existence of Israel as a government and pledged nonviolence.
The plight of Palestinians in the occupied territories has worsened in most respects. Once almost devoid of constraints on movement, the occupied territories now are subdivided by a grid of highways built by Israel with two goals in mind: first, the exclusive travel convenience of Jews who reside in the settlements, and second, the exclusive travel inconvenience of Palestinians, who are isolated from each other as never before and, for all practical purposes, excluded from East Jerusalem, their historic center of life.
On the plus side, Palestinians can display their own flag and elect a parliament and president, but these institutions are only a thin veneer below which is always found the authority of the Israeli government.
The Palestinian National Authority has responsibility for policing and a few other municipal tasks Israeli authorities were glad to shed. But in its zeal to keep negotiations alive with the Israeli government, the Arafat government has used torture to seek out violent dissidents among Palestinians.
Unemployment is at an all-time high. Palestinians are routinely barred from traditional jobs in Israel and can market goods abroad only via the Jewish state.
In East Jerusalem, the life of Palestinians has been squeezed so effectively and new Jewish residents have been welcomed in such numbers that Jews are now in the majority. The rest of the occupied territories have been peppered with Jewish settlements, 160 in all, with an aggregate population in excess of 150,000.
Given these bleak facts, Arafat desperately needs a dramatic step that will get the Palestinian cause out of the doldrums. John V. Whitbeck, a U.S. citizen who practices law in Europe, has the answer. Whitbeck urges the Palestinian leader to proclaim the existence of the state of Palestine and begin to act like a head of state.
After reading Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu's recent pledge to the Likud Party Congress in Jerusalem, Whitbeck repeated his recommendation. He quoted Netanyahu as offering this reassurance to the partisan gathering: "You can dream every night and you will still wake up every morning and see there is no Palestinian state. There is no Palestinian state. There is not and there will not be a Palestinian state."
Whitbeck wants Arafat to challenge Netanyahu forcefully and unequivocally on the question of statehood. The American lawyer insists that the Palestinian State has existed since November 1988 and has been accorded diplomatic recognition by 124 other sovereign states since that year. The proclamation was issued by the Palestine National Council at Algiers.
In short, the State of Palestine has existed for eight years, five years prior to the Oslo accords. Whitbeck argues that by announcing that simple fact, Arafat "would make absolutely clear what Israel and the United States refuse to see: Palestinian statehood is not even an issue in the permanent status negotiations now under way between Palestine and Israel. Palestine exists. Peace does not—and will not until the occupation ends."
In his renewed appeal to Arafat, Whitbeck pleads that the Netanyahu attitude cannot be ignored: "I fervently hope that you and your colleagues...will agree that the course I recommend is the best, indeed perhaps the only way forward, for the Palestinian people."
I second the motion. I offer a further recommendation: Arafat should offer to exchange diplomats with the 124 nations that have long recognized Palestinian statehood. The offer would put Israel on the diplomatic defensive worldwide as never before. It would of course provoke a showdown, but, from the standpoint of justice and human rights, the sooner the better.

|I thought Nate would never come out - June 18, 2014
When I gave birth to Nathan, I received a lot of advice and words of experience from people who had gone through parenthood. As a new mom, although they mean well, I felt that it was a bit too much to receive advice on what to do and what not to do to my new born baby. Different thoughts and opinions were given here and there. And it was exhausting and overwhelming. It became irritating and annoying that I didn't want to be disturbed for the next few weeks. One of the lessons I've learned is not to accept visitors on the first day. I think they will understand.
Nate went through a lot of blood tests, which means, he experienced a lot of needle pain. If I could count it correctly, they took around 8 blood tests of Nate just to be certain. Whenever the doctors requested me to sit down for awhile because I may not stand looking at Nate crying because of the needles, I said no, I'll stay. Aside from the needles, Nate has to go through photo-therapy. John and I thought that we're only staying for a day or two. We stayed at the hospital for 6 days. And the most stressful news that we've heard is that Nate might go through blood transfusion and John signed the papers already. But God answered our prayers. Nate didn't have to go through blood transfusion anymore.
We decided to give Nate formula as per doctor's advice after we ran out of expressed breast milk. I was still breastfeeding Nate all the way through in addition to the formula. But with all the stress and also the "advice" I've mentioned earlier, I felt really exhausted that I wanted to go home.
Nate got better and we took care of him at home. But for some reason, we stopped giving him formula and breastfed Nate for 1 week before our doctor's visit. I know there was something wrong with Nate but I didn't tell John until the day of our visit. Doctor scolded us for not feeding him well. Nate didn't gain weight on his third week and asked why we are so resistant in giving him formula. I didn't answer but right at that moment, I wanted to blame my husband and most especially myself.
The usual question that people ask me is if I'm breastfeeding Nate. I said, Nate is mixed fed. One day, my husband and I decided to eat out for dinner at the Japanese restaurant with Nate. The woman beside us asked us that question. When she learned that Nate is not purely breastfed, she explained the benefits of the colostrum and started lecturing me that I should be drinking a lot of soup, etc, etc, etc. Right there and then, I wanted to tell her "Hey lady, my family and I went through a lot just to breastfeed our baby. Don't you think we didn't even try?" I would always remember what John told me whenever I get lectures from other people: "They don't know what you know." But then, I would still sulk because he doesn't understand how I feel. It happens all the time that people would start giving you unsolicited advice and lectures as if I know nothing at all. And it humbles me that I don't know everything and it teaches me how to respond and react. And I'm still learning.
With too much information, a mother could get confused. But today, I am happy with my decision. Whether Nate is breastfed or formula fed, I surrendered that God is the one who is in control of his health and life. Nate gained weight and he is happy and content. Aside from that, I have more time to take care of my husband and the house. Of course, breastfeeding is superior but it's not for everyone. Breastfeeding worked for others but it didn't work for me. I may not have persevered as much as other people or I didn't even sacrifice everything just for the health of Nate. But it doesn't connote that I didn't develop any relationship with him just because I didn't continue breastfeeding. And it also doesn't indicate that I love Nate any less because I didn't give him the best nourishment. I commend you if you're a mom and you're still breastfeeding. And thank you if you respect my decision. Whatever feeding you choose, whether breast feeding or formula feeding is up to you. I just did what is right for Nate and just sharing what I've experienced. My case is closed.
The challenge doesn't end there. This is just the beginning. There were moments that I was really tired of putting Nate to sleep at night and I questioned God, why did I ever have a baby. Let's be honest here. Not all moments are "it's all worth it moments". I have down moments too. But I'll always remember that it is not by my own strength, but only through God's power and grace.
Feeding Nate on time and training him how to sleep on his own is also a decision John and I talked about. At first, I want to make all the sacrifices for Nate. Feed on demand and rock him every time he goes to sleep. I was tired all the time. I have to wake up John so he could help me put Nate to sleep when I couldn't control his crying anymore. But then, I thought, I have to make wise sacrifices also. And I'm not a martyr. I can't sacrifice everything like my time and effort without taking care of myself. I have to sleep well too so I can take care of my family. And that's why we're sleep training Nate as early as possible. So far, for the past week, he slept through the night. Because he's sleeping through the night, Nate wakes up happy while John and I are more rested.
I decided not to work for while because I want to be there for Nate. I want to be intentional. One of our godfather from our wedding made a bold statement that I carried that baby for nine months; will you just leave him to a nanny the whole day while you work? Of course, it's a personal decision. Not everyone can afford to stay at home. But not working at all is also a huge risk for us. But that's also the reason why we're praying for a home-based business for extra income. Whatever it is, I know that God will always be faithful.
Happy 3rd month Nate.

Energy, not Syria, is worthy of military's attention
Send this to a friend
- Nathan Sandvig
As a veteran now serving in clean energy, using military force in Syria and further involving ourselves in the Middle East is a distraction from domestic priorities that require national attention and appropriations now.
We need to focus on energy security as a top priority and take steps away from our dependence on this unstable region, the instabilities that flow from it, the financial drain it creates on future generations, and invest our capital in our aging critical energy infrastructure.
As a relevant example, we need to modernize and rehabilitate our hydropower generation fleet on the Columbia River System and across the nation to spin into the 21st Century with modern technology and show the world our commitment to clean energy and innovation. More than 50 years ago, our dams were built with the best engineering and construction standards in the world.
Today, our nation's dams — and their potential contribution to creating a clean energy economy — are largely forgotten and in disrepair. However, significant investment in hydropower will pay for itself many times over, continue to integrate existing and future renewable resources, create jobs and continue to provide low-cost energy and revenue to the Northwest.
To compound recent events related to energy security, a new report issued by the Department of Energy, the nation's energy infrastructure is highly vulnerable to weather-related outages. To folks in the energy security world, this report is hardly ground breaking news – after all, it's no secret that in this country, we rely upon a grid system that is over 40 years old and in serious need of an infrastructure makeover.

Southern Gardening: Prepare plants now for the cold weather
All gardeners know this is going to happen every year, and yet many are still surprised when it does. I'm talking about the arrival of freezing temperatures.
Despite the pleasant fall temperatures we are enjoying, there will come a time when we need to protect some of our landscape plants from freezing temperatures. And since no one reliably predicts the weather, now is a good time to get ready.

You know when you work so hard for an event, planning, details etc and then it's over and you feel sort of lost and maybe a little blue?
That's how I feel today.
But I'm reminding myself exactly what it is - I worked really hard last week on getting prepped for daughter's graduation, now it's over and it's time to refocus.
I finally figured out what I need to refocus on this morning. There are a lot of options, not the smallest of which could be my partner's graduation party this Saturday for earning her Associate's Degree...but what I really need to focus on is..
I've gotten in the habit of putting myself last again. You know, that's okay occasionally - but it's become "the norm" the last couple of months. Time to shift some focus back on my health, my art, my happiness.
Being an adult is so full of responsibility...and unfortunately, I have a little problem with being too responsible. If others can't do it all, I pick up their slack. The problem is - that becomes "normal". Suddenly, I'm not only responsible for myself, I'm responsible for others stuff too - I see this in myself at work especially but also at home. When you do too much for others, there is no time to do for yourself.
This requires some gentle but firm reshuffling of responsibility. Yes, I'm talking to myself here, LOL.
So today is back to refocusing on my own life and health, my happiness, my self.
Third child successfully graduated from high school, check! One more...just one more...whew.
Tonight is her graduation party and Saturday....back to real life and getting 10K a day in!
All my kids in one spot yesterday was really nice!
Was doing well with my 10K a day until I had to start prepping a zillion cupcakes and a birthday cake for today's graduation, tomorrow's party, etc.
Hours in the kitchen and felt wiped...but didn't add up to much in terms of steps.
Oh well. Sometimes ya just can't do it all. Back on it Saturday. :)
Yesterday's 5K was great - My goal was to do it in an hour and that's exactly what it was, 60 min on the dot! Pretty freakin' jazzed! The last half mile I had to pour it on, I was almost running - but I did it! Overall, I think it was the easiest one I've done - except for the hills. I generally walk on only flat ground on purpose because of my knees. Doc said with my weight and the lack of cartilage left in my knees, I shouldn't be doing hills if I can avoid them. So I do. Yesterday's 5K included one sort of long slow hill and a smaller one. I got about half way up the big one this year before I started getting winded - that's probably a lot better than I've done before.
However, there is a lot of room for improvement. I walked on my own with my ipod and I didn't have to talk and I probably couldn't have during the majority of it. So lots of room there to build stamina and lung capacity. The hill was the worst by far, but I'm glad I didn't have someone with me who wanted to chat because it would have been hard, LOL.
This week - High school graduation for my daughter. Oldest daughter coming for that and it also falls on HER birthday. Next week my partner's graduation from the community college for her associates degree. Oh you know, and work full time. ugh.
Lot's of emotions roiling around over my daughter's drinking and the things she said about my parenting "failures" when I saw her last month. Feeling anxiety over her coming this week, sadness....hard stuff. On top of everything else this week, feeling overwhelmed.
Good think I feel stress relief by walking, eh?
Today is my first event of the year, a 5K charity walk for breast cancer. I've done it several years - but I think this year is the most I've trained for it. I walked 20 miles last week and was half a mile short of 25 this week.
Last week, 10K a day 3x, this week 4 x. Go me. That's a personal best! This week I'm aiming for 5x.
Time continues to be a problem. Too much going on...and getting that much walking in a day takes...time.
No weight change. Interesting really from an analytical point of view, but frankly, I'm working on concentrating on the 10K I signed up for over Labor Day weekend. I want to be able to do it. I want to finish that walk strong - not feeling half dead. Even if I don't lose a single pound training over the summer, if I can finish that race feeling good, that's a big win.

My Favorite Christmas Present Ever of All Time
When you are a kid, besides your birthday, Christmas is the greatest day ever! The tree, candy canes, decorations and of course the presents!
When you are a kid, besides your birthday, Christmas is the greatest day ever! The tree, candy canes, decorations and of course the presents!
This week is the big kickoff to the holiday season, with the Minnesota Power Plaza tree lighting and Christmas City of the North Parade scheduled for Friday and Bentleyville opening Saturday; but the Superior-Douglas County Holiday Tree Lighting Ceremony will officially open the season tonight.
Hundreds of excited station listeners gathered in Canal Park at Grandma's Sports Garden to share a little holiday cheer and collect their share of thousands of dollars in gifts.
Have you ever wondered how Rudolph got his red nose? Well, Dutch scientists have finally explained the mystery. Turns out, the reindeer's shiny nose is the direct result of "hyperemia of the nasal mucosa." Way to take all the magic out of Christmas, science.
Kim Kardashian once again used her blog for the forces of evil -- this time by sharing the Kardashians' 2012 family Christmas photo.
The entire clan is decked out in all white and surrounded by silver confetti and white balloons, and the whole thing reads more "professional photo shoot" than "warm, loving family."
Duluth Mayor Don Ness announced today that Bentleyville will return again next year. Over the past few days rumors were swirling around about the possibility that founder of Bentleyville, Nathan Bentley, would end it's contract with the city
Aww man! We've been sucked in again. It's another edition of animals in costumes, but we swear it's way worth your time. Why? Well, because there are few things more adorable than dressing up our dogs and cats in holiday garb and showing them off on the Web. We're positive they love it! (Maybe.)
Bayfront Festival Park will be a great place to be in Duluth on Wednesday, December 26th at the annual "Warmer by the Lake" celebration brought to you by City of Duluth Parks and Recreation.
Christmastime should be about family, generosity and good cheer, but sometimes there are a few baddies lurking about to spoil everyone's fun. We're talking about nasty Christmas villains here. Thankfully most of them are merely figments of some storyteller's imagination. But not all of them. There are always a few real life Yuletide rogues out there just waiting to make a mess of the winter holidays.
Get a tissue.
When five-year-old Brielle Olk went to meet Santa Thursday night she knew just what to ask for: 'My daddy to come home.'
Christmas-themed video games might seem like the best way for developers to cash in on the holiday season, but there's a conspicuous lack of these titles on the market. Believe it or not, this is a good thing, because the vast majority of Christmas games to date have been pretty bad and, what's more, inexplicably weird.
'Tis the season for lights, Christmas trees, and stockings hung with care, but also it is the time that thieves like to prey on peoples homes and possessions. This is not like the Home Alone movie where a 10 year old boy can out wit two bumbling burglars, for many this is a real life crime.
