Joe Biden Plastic Surgery
Has Joe Biden has plastic surgery? Like they say, a picture is worth a thousand words ;)
I think by now the cat is out of the bag that he has had hair plugs and Botox, but what else has Joe had done? Well one thing is for sure, and that is his smile isn't authentic ;)
I don't think there is anyone that can deny Joe Biden's porcelain veneers after seeing this close up photo :)
Wow, his teeth are obviously fake. Definitely fillers for sure. I wonder what other surgeries he has had. Before and after pics would be very interesting to compare.
Yes, Joe Biden's porcelain veneers are a dead giveaway. I'm actually quite surprised Fox News and Rush Limbaugh haven't talked about this.
I have a feeling his nose could be fake, too. We'll have to go back and find earlier photos to find out. :)
Trust me, his teeth are the last thing Limbaugh and FOX news are pondering considering the ongoing/overwhelming issues.
A little B&A photo montage could be quite interesting in this thread.
It is also rumored that he had hair transplants in the 1980's.
Well Joe obviously did something to "refresh" his face! ;)

No option for a win-win solution but dialogue: PM Hailemariam
Addis Ababa, 10 February 2014 (WIC) - Prime Minister Hailemariam Dessalegn said Ethiopia and Egypt haven't any other option except dialogue and negotiation for a win-win solution.
In his briefing to local and foreign journalists, the premier said Sudan and Ethiopia cast off Egypt's request to set a new International Panel of Experts.
"The Ethiopian government has the same stand concerning the Grand Renaissance Dam to what it had when the construction was launched," he said.
Ethiopia, Egypt and Sudan have had three round discussions on the recommendations of the International Panel of Experts, the premier said, adding although the meeting failed to meet its objectives due to Egypt's retreat he believed that the discussion will resume.
Concerning Egypt's need to take the issue to UN Security Council, Hailmariam said that it won't have any result as there is no international court responsible to investigate and judge water cases.
The Prime Minister also said the rumor concerning Ethiopia's land offer to Sudan is baseless that no new border demarcation has taken place so far.
The Ethio-Sudan border is in place since the reign of Emperor Minilik, he said, adding the government has never offered any piece of Ethiopian land to Sudan.
This issue was reported in 2004, 2009 and 2014, once every five years, at the eve of each national election in a bid to political consumption.
The government will work diligently to make the coming election free, fair, democratic and credible, he said, adding that all political parties should organize themselves in that sense.
Concerning Ethiopia's economy, Prime Minister Hailemariam said that due to the better gains in the agricultural sector, the overall economy is expected to grow double digit this fiscal year.

Ducks winger Teemu Selanne scored his 600th career goal Sunday night against Colorado at Honda Center.
Selanne slammed the puck into an open net during a power play after Scott Niedermayer got the puck to him on the left side of the net just 34 seconds into the second period to give the Ducks a 3-0 lead.
The entire Ducks team came off the bench to hug Selanne and the game was stopped briefly as Selanne drew a three-minute standing ovation.
Selanne is 18th on the all-time career goals list, one behind fellow Finn Jari Kurri.
Selanne also got his 500th career against Colorado in 2006.
Niedermayer reached 200 assists as a Duck on the play.

BUENOS AIRES, Argentina (AP) - The Buenos Aires zoo is showing off four new white tiger cubs.
Zoo officials say the blue-eyed cubs with coats of black stripes on white were born there two months ago and bring the number at the zoo to nine. They say the cubs will soon be able to eat meat.
White Bengal tigers have a rare genetic anamoly and have always been extremely rare in the wild. Several hundred white tigers have been bred in zoos and wild animal parks around the world, though many conservationists say efforts should be focused on less inbred tiger varieties
The U.S. Association of Zoos and Aquariums discourages the breeding of white tigers.

If you enjoyed the 2011 Wall Street drama "Margin Call" you might want to check out Chris Smith's riveting 2009 documentary, "Collapse" (MPI Home Video), even though it's the sort of unalloyed feel-bad movie that leaves a viewer wondering what to do with the information it contains.
For 80 minutes, Smith gives the floor to former LAPD cop and investigative journalist Michael Ruppert, who takes us through his step-by-step doomsday scenario to be caused by what is known as "peak oil" — that fast-approaching moment in time when we have consumed more than half of all known oil supplies.
Prices will spike and panic will mount, Ruppert tells us, as it dawns on the "civilized" world that the foundation of our whole mechanized way of life is beginning to collapse.
Smith and Ruppert point out that "oil" is not just the stuff that runs our cars but the ingredient that is bound into a staggering array of products and devices (four gallons for each tire on your car).
With the rise of China and India as consumers of oil — for much of the 20th century individual car travel was a largely American luxury — the reserves of crude will be tapped out even faster.
While Ruppert is a lucid and seemingly sane figure, Smith doesn't make it clear why the man and his philosophy warrant feature length examination.
The filmmaker seems to have been inspired by Errol Morris's stylish Oscar-winning, feature-length interview with former Secretary of Defense Robert McNamara — "The Fog of War," or McNamara's mea culpa — but that was a movie about U.S. history with a major American political figure.
Ruppert has a slight air of me-against-the-world self righteousness that left this viewer wishing there was more sourcing for his dire pronouncements.
And, if the man is right, there is virtually nothing any individual can do to counteract the global forces that are inexorably leading us to the end.

I'm still so confused about the timing of the Paris Hilton/Benji Madden hookup. Wasn't Benji engaged to Sophie Monk like a minute before he and Paris started parading around town together, wearing each other's initialson terrible rings?
Well, Paris, who is currently on tour with Benji, Nicole Richie's man Joel Madden, and the rest of Good Charlotte, is professing her love for the rocker on her MySpace Celebrity blog. The heiress is simply gushing about how fantastic and serious her new relationship is. Here's an excerpt from her most recent post"
Hey everyone!
Just wanted to check in and say hi! I've been on tour with my boyfriend for almost a month now. We've been everywhere from South Africa to all around Europe. It's been so much fun! I've never felt so happy and in love, he's such an amazing guy and life has never been better! It's so much fun going to their shows every night, I now know every song by heart. I love Good Charlotte, they rock!! All the guys in the band are so cool and sweet and it's been such an amazing and memorable experience."
Could Benji have seriously fallen in love again -- with Paris, for that matter -- so quickly after almost marrying someone else? Could they possibly be the real deal? I can't even fathom.

AAM33/1 Moka AlessiPrice: $45.00
Design by Alessandro Mendini, 2011.
By Alessi.
The AAM33/1 Moka Alessi is a successful remake of the first Moka Express coffee maker. This 1-cup size was commissioned as a tribute to Alfonso Bialetti who, in the 1930's, was the inventor, designer and first manufacturer of the Moka Express. Octagonal in shape, inspired by Futurism and Art Deco, and produced in die cast aluminum, the "Moka" is an archetype in its category, earning Alfonso fame as a designer.
Designer Alessandro Mendini was asked to come up with a new project for a coffee maker, to re-interpret Bialetti's ingenious invention with today's awareness of all that affects contemporary design. The challenge was met with great innovation while maintaining an exceptionally low price for an Alessi product. This 1-cup size is offered in die cast aluminum.
Material(s): Aluminum casting, black thermoplastic resin
- Size: 2.75" Dia X 5.5" H
- Capacity: 2.5 oz.
Designer: Alessandro Mendini
Born in Milan in 1931, former director of Casabella, Modo and Domus, winner of a Compasso d'Oro and designer of the Groninger Museum in Groningen, the Casino in Arosa, the Forum in Omegna, he is a designer, architect and image consultant for Philips, Swarovski, Swatch, and Bisazza.View other products by Alessandro Mendini

Alessi. Art and Poetry.
Alessi is a family owned Italian design company, founded in 1921. Giovanni Alessi, a talented sheet metal worker, produced items by hand for the table and home out of copper, brass and nickel-silver. He was later joined by his son Carlo who was responsible for many of the designs produced in the 1930s and early 1940s. In the mid 1940s Alessi began to work with outside designers. The current Alessi catalog is the result of a collaboration with over 500 designers from all over the world.
"A true work of design must be able to move people, to convey feelings, to trigger memories, to surprise, to go against the grain. From this point of view, design intended to conjure up images in people's minds, which makes them a bit happier, still has tremendous potential." — Alberto AlessiView other products from Alessi

Share it Please
But since we belong to the day, let us be sober, putting on faith and love as a breastplate, and the hope of salvation as a helmet.
Thessalonians 5:8 (NIV)
Today's blog came in the form of a dream…really. I think I scared the (not expletive deleted, but something deleted) out of my husband when I ninja kicked off all the sheets and our denim comforter (shipping weight 12.7 pounds). Okay, so let me start at the beginning, sort of. Usually, in the 15 preceding days that I've prayed for my husband, I started the blog with the subject of the daily prayer…hold on, we'll get to that in time, and in another stunning reversal…I'm going to start this blog with the line usually reserved for the ending…God is good.
|Ailey American Dance Theater's Linda Celeste Sims.
Photo by Andrew Eccles.
My husband responds instantly, asking if I'm okay. I reach out my hand, telling him I had a nightmare, and begin to recount the tale. He settles me and tells me not to talk; to go back to sleep. I do.
In the morning, I tell my husband about my dream. I tell him that the enemy is NOT PLEASED with our praying. We laugh, and I joke about being engaged in spiritual warfare. We get dressed, I drive him to the train station, the day begins.
Later this morning, I read my scripture prayer for the day, and this is what was there….
Prayer for our Husbands, Day 16
That he would be a man who enters into spiritual warfare.
That he would be a man who enters into spiritual warfare.
Nothing else to say, except this…in my dream, I kicked the weapon away and the intruder landed on his (AMEN).

"Telling Stories: Norman Rockwell from the Collections of George Lucas and Steven Spielberg" Opens at the Smithsonian American Art Museum July 2, 2010
The Smithsonian American Art Museum is organizing the first major exhibition to explore the
connections between Norman Rockwell's iconic images of American life and the movies. Two of
America's best-known modern filmmakers—George Lucas and Steven Spielberg—recognized a
kindred spirit in Rockwell and formed in-depth collections of his work. "Telling Stories: Norman
Rockwell from the Collections of George Lucas and Steven Spielberg" will be on view in
Washington, D.C., from July 2, 2010, through Jan. 2, 2011. The museum is the only venue for the
Norman Rockwell "Shadow Artist" 1920, Oil on Canvas
"Norman Rockwell is an artist and a storyteller who captured universal truths about Americans
that tell us a lot about who we are as a people," said Elizabeth Broun, The Margaret and Terry Stent
Director of the Smithsonian American Art Museum. "Like Rockwell, both George Lucas and Steven
Spielberg embrace the idea that ordinary people can become unlikely heroes. I am delighted that the
Smithsonian American Art Museum is organizing the first exhibition to explore these new connections
between Rockwell's art and the movies."
Rockwell was a masterful storyteller who could distill a narrative into a single moment, and his
pictures tell stories about the adventure of growing up, of individuals rising up in the face of adversity,
the glamour of Hollywood and the importance of tolerance in American life. His images contain rich
character development, subtle scenic contexts and implied narratives that resemble movie-making
"Rockwell's pictures highlight topical issues that emerged in movies, popular fiction and the
news," said Virginia M. Mecklenburg, senior curator and organizer of the exhibition. "This exhibition
and its catalog offer new insights into why Rockwell chose to paint particular subjects with particular
points of view and dramatically expands our understanding of Rockwell as an observant commentator
on pressing issues of the day."
The exhibition will showcase more than 50 major Rockwell paintings and drawings from these
private collections that are rarely seen by the public. Excerpts from interviews in which Lucas and
Spielberg talk about Rockwell and the works in their collections will be shown in the exhibition
"Lucas, Spielberg and Rockwell perpetuate ideas about love of country, personal honor and the
value of family in their work," said Mecklenburg. "With humor and pathos, they have transformed
everyday experiences into stories revealing the aspirations and values that have sustained Americans
through good times and bad."
An illustrated book written by Mecklenburg, with a contribution by Todd McCarthy, film critic
for Variety, will accompany the exhibition.

|Power capability investigation based on electrothermal models of press-pack IGBT three-level NPC and ANPC VSCs for multimegawatt wind turbines
|Senturk, Osman S.; Helle, Lars; Rodríguez Cortés, Pedro; Munk-Nielsen, Stig; Teodorescu, Remus
|Other authors:
|Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya. Departament d'Enginyeria Elèctrica
Wind turbine power capability is an essential set ofdata for both wind turbine manufacturers/operators and transmissionsystem operators since the power capability determineswhether a wind turbine is able to fulfill transmission system reactivepower requirements and how much it is able to providereactive power support as an ancillary service. For multimegawattfull-scale wind turbines, power capability depends on convertertopology and semiconductor switch technology. As power capabilitylimiting factors, switch current, semiconductor junction temperature,and converter output voltage are addressed in this studyfor the three-level neutral-point-clamped voltage source converter(3L-NPC-VSC) and 3L Active NPC VSC (3L-ANPC-VSC) withpress-pack insulated gate bipolar transistors employed as a gridsideconverter. In order to investigate these VSCs' power capabilitiesunder various operating conditions with respect to theselimiting factors, a power capability generation algorithm based onthe converter electrothermal model is developed. Built consideringthe VSCs' operation principles and physical structure, the model isvalidated by a 2MV·A single-phase 3L-ANPC-VSC test setup. Thepower capability investigations regarding a sample grid code's reactivepower requirement showthat 3L-ANPC-VSC results in 32%better power capability than 3L-NPC-VSC at the switching frequencyof 1050 Hz. Furthermore, 3L-ANPC-VSC with 57% higherswitching frequency (1650 Hz) and 33% smaller switching ripplefilter can yield close power capability compared to 3L-NPC-VSCwith 1050 Hz.

'Dumb and Dumber 2′ shooting in September with Jim Carrey & Jeff Daniels returning
April 5, 2012 by Faisal Hashmi
Filed under News
While their 'The Three Stooges' film doesn't look very good from the trailers at all, I'm still excited to see it just because in every interview it's very obvious that Bob and Peter Farrelly have treated this passion project of their with utmost care and promise to bring the spirit of the original back. And that's something you don't get to hear with every TV adaptation. Now, they're also going to do their first sequel in the form of 'Dumb and Dumber 2′ which they now confirm is actually happening sooner than you think.
Coming Soon reports the words of the directors who confirm that the film will be shooting later this year:
"We're getting set to shoot Dumb and Dumber 2 in September. It's the first sequel we've ever done and we've got Jim Carrey and Jeff Daniels back."
But hey, what about that awful prequel 'Dumb and Dumberer: When Harry Met Lloyd' that had none of the original stars and the directors in it? They're quick to point that out they don't care about that one:
"We did not do Dumb and Dumberer. That was a studio thing. So we've always wanted to do a sequel and finally Jim called up. Jeff always wanted to do it. We always wanted to do it. Jim was busy, but he called and said, 'We've got to do this thing again.' He had just watched Dumb and Dumber and he said, 'This is the perfect sequel. Let's do it.'"
If the cast is in, so am I. Bring on the comedy.
'The Woman in Black' getting a sequel
April 5, 2012 by Faisal Hashmi
Filed under News
Earlier this year, the Danielle Radcliffe starring British medieval horror film was not only quite effective if not divisive in its scares but also made quite a lot of money for Hammer Films and effectively revived the studio. Now, the movie is getting a sequel with the title of 'The Woman in Black: Angels of Death'.
The film, which was apparently the highest-grossing British film in the last 20 years, will have a sequel that will "continue this story four decades later and focus on the concept of a couple and the experience they have when they encounter the haunted setting of Eel Marsh House."
Jon Crocker is writing the script based on the story by Susan Hill, and there's no director announced yet. But will Danielle Radcliffe return? The story is set 40 years after the first film so that kind of makes that a moot point, and anyone who has seen the first film knows that it's very unlikely for the actor to return even otherwise.
I really liked how 'The Woman in Black' played with a myth and that's the kind of horror that actually intrigues me. The sequel, if done well, can really expand upon it. Casting suggestion? Emma Watson and Rupert Grint as the couple.
Boom! Instant money.
'Wrath Of The Titans' Review
April 5, 2012 by Faisal Hashmi
Filed under Reviews
Another year, another big Hollywood action movie that exploits Greek mythology. This time around, we've got a sequel to a very mediocre 'Clash of the Titans' which still did gangbusters business. So is 'Wrath of the Titans' any good? Well, it's much better than 'Clash of the Titans' in almost every regard whether it's action, special effects, the 3-D, or the sense of thrill. But it's still a disposable and thin plot with zero character development, which keeps it from being a very good film.
The plot follows Perseus (Sam Worthington) years later, now living with his son after the death of his wife. But he has to leave his life of peace and return back to action after his father Zeus (Liam Neeson) is imprisoned by Hades (Ralph Fiennes) and Ares who are offering him to the imprisoned Titan Kronos to achieve immortality. Perseus has to venture into dangerous territory and battle all sorts of creatures to form the ultimate weapon that can defeat the destructive Kronos before he wreaks havoc on the world.
There were a number of issues that plagued 2010's 'Clash of the Titans' and horrific post-converted 3D was one of them. It was so bad that it will forever be written as the movie that killed the allure of 3D for audiences thanks to a hasty money-grab of a job that Warner Brothers did with the film at the last minute. But that wasn't it. The film also suffered from hammy acting, a screenplay lacking in scope or forward momentum, a wasteful story and weak direction aside from a few standout scenes that included the Medusa sequence. Even the ending was highly anti-climactic and disappointed audiences. So you would be happy to know that 'Wrath of the Titans' sets out to fix most of these things and succeeds. But not on all fronts.
First off, there's a lot better action here and that's the key reason to watch this film. Unlike the last time, here the scope is actually very epic and the movie finds plenty of great set-pieces to deliver on the action it promises. The film is so much more exciting to watch compared to 'Clash' that you wouldn't even believe it, and I give credit for that to the new director Jonathan Liebesman who brought the flair he showed in 'Battle LA' here and nails the action quotient of the film. Right off the bat, you've got a huge monster battle which is highly thrilling to watch followed by a foreboding dream that Perseus has about the Kronos which is extremely well done and manages to overwhelm you. Action scenes keep following as the film goes on and is topped by a spectacular finale with possibly the biggest sized villain ever captured on screen in the form of Kronos. It might be too familiar to the first movie in terms of how the finale comes to be but the payoff is much more satisfying in this sequel than it was in the original. Special effects deserve a special mention, because they are very impressive to see on screen. All the monsters look very authentic and perfectly blend into the environment, and the highlight is watching Kronos and the smoke he emits after destroying villages. It must be a very hard task but the filmmakers make sure that the spectacle isn't cheap at any point, which is something I can't say about 'Clash'.
Let's just say that in terms of action and effects, 'Wrath' is light years ahead of 'Clash'.
But along with that, other problems from 'Clash' still linger on in the sequel and one of the key departments is story. While 'Wrath' has a much more simplified and focused story than 'Clash' which actually works for the movie, there's still no depth to it at all and is as generic as they come. The entire plot is just an excuse for Perseus to battle a bunch of monsters so he can win. After the first act which actually does a good job at setting up the basic premise, the film shifts into all action mode and never comes back. We are treated to a few dialogue scenes here and there but they are just there to transition into the next action scene, which is the same problem that the original faced. That said, the momentum here is much better and there's a proper escalation of events that lead to a well-earned finale. Some might say that the movie feels undercooked at a runtime that just flies by and I would agree. It's the definition of a junk food action movie and is like a ride that's over before you want it to be.
Another department is character development, which is to say that 'Wrath' barely has any. This is something that was much more pronounced in 'Clash' but is very much present here as well. We never really learn anything about the new characters introduced including Andromeda and Ares other than the cookie cutter explanations that are briefly offered. Helius is one of the new characters in the film and sadly never has any function in the plot other than provide comic relief. Comic relief actually helps the movie though, as it eases the fast paced overwrought nature of its plot and it's something that the original lacked for the most part. But at the same time, it's not too much to ask for our Greek heroes to actually have a three dimensional personality. Speaking of three dimensions, let's be clear on this – 'Wrath' was not shot in 3-D but was post-converted just like 'Clash'. But just because of the fact that they shot it with 3-D conversion in mind, you'd be surprised to know how effectively they use it in the film. While it's not a necessity for you to see the film in 3-D, the extra dimension actually makes the film look more epic and all the CGI sequences use it to great effect. If only the original had such kind of a conversion, there wouldn't have been such bad buzz around it as it was when it got released.
Acting was something that was sorely lacking in the original especially from Sam Worthington who played a very dull and bland Perseus (even he admitted to that in an interview). But here, his performance is majorly improved. Not to say that he pulls a Daniel Day Lewis on us, but he actually nails the character by being the intense and physical hero that the film needs and looks believable in the part without skimping on emotion. Liam Neeson has limited stuff to do here but shines as Zeus, but Ralph Fiennes as Hades impresses and Édgar Ramírez plays an effective villain as Ares. Bill Nighy is the scene stealer here as a small but memorable character and shows once again why he's an amazing actor whose presence improves a film. Rosamund Pike isn't given anything interesting to do and in effect comes off as pointless, while the rest of the cast does the needful.
'Wrath of the Titans' is a solid improvement over its predecessor by improving on most of the original's faults and providing at the least an entertaining junk food action movie that's high on effects and spectacle. But it's unfortunate that it's saddled with a weak story and character development that keeps it from being truly godly in terms of quality.

OCALA, Fla., November 4, 2013 — Fewer questions are more challenging, or controversial, than this: What is Israel's place in twenty-first century society?
Is it a homeland for the Jewish people and nothing more? If so, then how does one define said people? Do Jews constitute a religious community or an ethnic group?
SEE RELATED: Zionism beyond Israel: Is Jewish nationalism bad for the Middle East?
In the latter case, which ethnic subdivision — Northern European Ashkenazim, Middle Eastern Mizrahim or Mediterranean Sephardim — will ultimately wind up running the country? In the former scenario, would Orthodox be considered the only legitimate denomination, leaving Conservative, Humanistic, Karaite, Reconstructionist, Reform, and Universalist Jews in the lurch?
"In Israel, there is less religious freedom for non-Orthodox Jews than anyplace in the Western world," political columnist Allan C. Brownfeld noted in this fall's edition of Issues, a publication of the non-Zionist American Council for Judaism.
"Israel regularly proclaims itself a society in which there is 'religious freedom.' Its definition of this term, however, is unique. Conservative and Reform rabbis have no right to perform weddings or funerals and their conversions are not recognized. Orthodox Judaism is, in effect, the state religion.
"Israel's Declaration of Independence, read in the great hall of the Tel Aviv Art Museum on May 14, 1948, was highly liberal and modeled on the French Declaration of the Rights of Man and the American Declaration of Independence.
SEE RELATED: Should America stop foreign aid to Israel?
"It was, writes Hebrew University Professor Zeev Sternhell in 'The Founding Myths of Israel,' an 'article for export, an act of public relations. It had no legal standing in Israeli jurisprudence and thus could not serve as a point of reference with regard to the rights of man, with regard to gender equality (which the religious parties very strongly opposed) or with regard to equality before the law, which, if applied, would have made the Arabs remaining in Israeli territory full citizens.'"
For quite awhile, Israel has been building settlements in the West Bank. Over the last several years, however, these settlements have grown rapidly in population. Despite the fact that young Israelis are increasingly leaving their country for economic purposes, they are being replaced by Diaspora Jews.
No small number of Diaspora Jews who choose to make aliyah — immigration to Israel — fall in line with Orthodox traditions. Younger native-born Israelis tend to be more theo-conservative than older generations, harboring pronounced anti-Arab viewpoints.
In short, there is little promise on the horizon for Israel to end its settlement policies. As these settlements are constructed on Palestinian land, already anti-Israeli locals are angered even further.
SEE RELATED: If Israel wants to survive, should it stop being a Jewish state?
"A binational state in Israel-Palestine in which all citizens enjoy equal rights is one of the concepts most fiercely opposed by the state of Israel and most of its Jewish citizens," journalist Max Blumenthal tells The Washington Times Communities. He has written much about Israel's precarious situation, and virtually all of it has generated controversy.
A video he made in which young Israelis were asked about sensitive political issues was banned from YouTube. His latest book, Goliath: Life and Loathing in Greater Israel, seems on its way to securing a place among the most politically incorrect nonfiction works in modern history.
"However, Israel's policies and the logic of its planning since 1967 have rendered a two state solution impossible, making a single state inevitable," Blumenthal continues. "Today, Israel-Palestine is a single state in which Palestinians suffer under a matrix of Israel control differing depending on where they live.
"This is the source of their resentment of Israel and it is driving anti-Semitic attitudes in the Arab world. Clearly there needs to be an effort to think past the old, discredited remedies of the so-called peace process and begin preparing the people of Israel-Palestine for a shared future. The only other option is the current reality: a single state under a regime of apartheid."
Brownfeld also wrote that "(a)n extensive survey released late in June shows….Arab citizens of Israel are increasingly alienated and view their status as clearly being second class. The survey, 2012 Index of Arab-Jewish Relations in Israel, was conducted by Professor Sammy Smooha of Haifa University.
"In Smooha's view, eliminating discrimination is essential, but he fears that the process will be slow. The nature of the state of Israel as a Jewish state, he points out, makes it more complicated. He cites the Law of Return as an example. The law pertains to Jews and eliminates even Palestinian spouses of Arab Israelis, for fear the children may be raised unloyal to the state.
"But, said Smooha, Arab Israelis remain very loyal: 'They are resigned with Israel as a Jewish state … They don't want to shatter the rules, they just want more equality and dignity.'"
"The philosophy of Zionism has oriented Israel towards Europe and the West," Blumenthal explains, "defining it against the indigenous culture of the Middle East – 'a rampart of civilization against barbarism,' as Theodore Herzl said.
"This mentality has led Israel to shield itself in armor, with separation walls and Iron Domes and policies of exclusion and dispossession that have badly corroded its social fabric while making life unbearable for millions of Palestinians.
"Israel has no endgame or strategy for ending its occupation or reversing these deeply undemocratic policies. It will be unable to reverse the current trends without outside pressure that imposes a solution offering equality to all in Israel-Palestine.
"This may force Jewish Israelis to decide whether they would like to become more integrated into the Middle East, a region that consists mostly of Arab Muslims. Many of them can be expected to resist such a scenario tooth and nail, to claim that it represents Israel's 'destruction,' but there will be others in Israel who will welcome the removal of an inhumane system that is turning their own society into an authoritarian, theocratic theater of cruelty that is increasingly unbearable.
"As I explain in the final chapter of [Goliath], there are already 600,000 to a million Israelis living abroad, and many young, liberal-minded Israelis living in Berlin. They have left for better economic opportunities and also a chance to experience light and justice. And they will continue to make the exodus until the status quo is reversed."

|The Message (MSG)
|New International Version (NIV)
|1 After David built houses for himself in the City of David, he cleared a place for the Chest and pitched a tent for it.
|1 After David had constructed buildings for himself in the City of David, he prepared a place for the ark of God and pitched a tent for it.
|2 Then David gave orders: "No one carries the Chest of God except the Levites; God designated them and them only to carry the Chest of God and be available full time for service in the work of worship."
|2 Then David said, "No one but the Levites may carry the ark of God, because the LORD chose them to carry the ark of the LORD and to minister before him forever."
|3 David then called everyone in Israel to assemble in Jerusalem to bring up the Chest of God to its specially prepared place.
|3 David assembled all Israel in Jerusalem to bring up the ark of the LORD to the place he had prepared for it.
|4 David also called in the family of Aaron and the Levites.
|4 He called together the descendants of Aaron and the Levites:
|5 From the family of Kohath, Uriel the head with 120 relatives;
|5 From the descendants of Kohath, Uriel the leader and 120 relatives;

Don't Be Green - Be Sustainable!

| Posted on February 17, 2011

Text Size
For years now, you've been told that you need to be a "green" printer. Well, now I'm going to tell you to be a sustainable printer instead.
First, let's look at what those terms mean. Green and sustainable have much the same meaning to most people, however, they really are two different things.
Originally the term green was used to imply that products and services are produced with minimal harm to—or exploitation of—the natural environment. It's logical to equate green with the environment; after all, we would all like to save those trees.
Sustainable products and services extend beyond the environment to include consideration of the impact on people and society, and add an element of economic viability. If a business is not economically viable, it's not a business, plain and simple.
What makes a sustainable printer?
Whether you refer to it as the "triple bottom line" or simply "sustainable business," by interlacing three areas of focus—society, environment and economy—you achieve sustainability. A sustainable business is:
Socially Responsible
• Honest in all business activities and contributes to the strength and growth of supporting communities.
• Respects the dignity, welfare and safety of all workers throughout the supply chain.
• Contributes to the community with livable pay scales for employees.
Environmentally Considerate
• Benefits the natural order as much as possible.
• Respects eco-system limits in production, processing and distribution.
• Avoids ecologically destructive practices, such as water pollution, over-harvesting, soil destruction and erosion.
Economically Prudent
• Accounts for natural capital throughout the production and supply chain.
• Generates a reasonable profit to support the long-term viability of the business.
• Creates real economic benefit to society.
How do you get there?
Just out is an excellent book—"The New Rules of Green Marketing" by Jacquelyn Ottman, the Grand Dame of green marketing. Ottman has been helping companies "go green" since 1989.
Are you looking to make your products and processes more environmentally friendly? Pick up a copy of this book and get the detail behind the following checklist. Use these questions to explore the opportunities to improve your products, to develop new ones and to meet your customers' demands for quality, performance and affordability.
✓ What is the full range of environmental and social issues that are associated with your product or service?
✓ Could you consider a "cradle-to-gate" or "cradle-to-grave" or even "cradle-to-cradle" life-cycle analysis for your products?
✓ How do your products' environmental and social impacts compare to those of you competitors?
✓ Do you have a short- and long-term plan of environmental and social-related improvements for your products?
✓ What environmental improvements do you anticipate competitors introducing? Are you prepared with a response?
✓ In what ways do environmental enhancements improve your product or service's overall performance and quality?
✓ Are there opportunities to use environmental enhancements to extend your brand?
✓ Are you using the minimum amount of raw materials possible, i.e., taking advantage of opportunities for source reduction?
✓ Are you ensuring that your raw materials—that includes paper and ink—avoid tropical deforestation? Clear-cutting? Land stripping? Oil spills? (Going beyond chain-of-custody certification.)
✓ Can you use locally procured raw materials to keep energy shipping costs to a minimum?
✓ What steps are you taking to reduce the use of toxic chemicals in all your processes?
✓ What steps can you take to prevent or reduce the production of solid and hazardous waste in your production processes?
✓ How can you reduce your air emissions and releases to waterways?
✓ Can you use solar, wind or other forms of renewable energy to power your plant(s)?
✓ Are you manufacturing your products close to your markets to support local jobs and minimize transportation energy and costs?
✓ Can you help your customers design packaging to reduce materials? Make them from recycled content? Make them recyclable?
✓ Can you use alternative materials to make them recyclable or compostable?
✓ Can you help your customers design their packaging to be refillable, reusable and repairable?
✓ Can you take back your products for recycling? Can you create reverse-distribution logistics and strategies?
These questions make it clear that, while sustainability "starts at home," it is necessary to reach up and down the supply chain to ensure that your suppliers are seeking to become more sustainable and that you deliver products that make it possible for your customers to do the same.
Good reading and good luck!

Ideas over Gameplay....Solid Game From MMA's #2
posted by HavenKX (EL CAJON, CA) Oct 21, 2010
Member since Oct 2010
21 out of 24 gamers (88%) found this review helpful
MMA's striking system resembles that of The Fight Night series with the exception of kicking. Though it would have sounded good but the movements feel a bit stiff at times. The combo system is generally there but in times of panic to get a specific move off will cause a chaining of moves at the start of the animation resulting in a unwanted strike that you weren't trying to do. Parring is a nice addition but swaying can be a bit difficult since you have to flick the stick instead just moving the stick around. The Special moves like superman punch are near impossible to pull off on a seasoned vet because they require you to flick forward and hit. So your fighter does this annoying and recognizable dash that even a soft kick to the legs can counter.
The ground game on the other hand is superior offering a strike to pass, pass to strike mentality. Meaning Stanima is the key to the ground game and offers a huge strategic value to the game. If you wanna pass, than strike your opponent, if he just lays there looking to stop your advance, than his stamina will deplete from strikes allowing you to do anything. If he blocks your your punches, than he's open to pass. Its managing at its purest form. Though you don't have as many options as far as manuvers than Undisputed, the ground game actually has that Danger/Safe zone feel to it.
Career sounded cool from the box but really falters once you realize the training sessions are the same types no matter where you go, just different levels and the lack of broadcast presentation makes it feel like any other career mode
Graphics:Great but not photo realistic
Gameplay:Decent with an Outstanding ground
Lasting appeal:Moderate.Online might pull you for a few

The cut system was spectacular. Tons better than what UFC Undisputed has done. Cuts would stay and open up easier unlike in UFC which would have them disappear between rounds.
The career mode and the way CAF stats are distributed and how when you trained for something it was for attributes that matter to what you were doing unlike in UFC where all you had to do was spam takedowns and use your side arm choke to get max points and then put them anywhere and put those at 100.
Graphics were top notch.
Now the bad parts.
Online was a complete joke. Spamming galore. I had a guy take me down and then stood up I was trying to get up but was locked in an animation cause he was doing the diving punch at me. He kept rinsing and repeating till I got KO'd.
Career mode gives you money for fights. I did not see anything to spend it on other than traveling which was 5,000 max. I ended up with a couple million to do nothing with.
Submissions. While it was a good idea on paper in game the mini games do not work.
It's good for some achievements and some fun if you have another human that will not glitch/spam you. But definitely not worth 60 bucks. Rent do not buy!
Great game! :D

Sound is great, good EA trax unlike Undisputed's sound was extremely annoying.
There is ton of customization options in this game, not many as undisputed . tatoos look phenomenal, there are tons of names, last names, nickname options. The training is much better then undisputed and realistic too. The loading is fast, controls are easy?
there was only one flaw with this game; the ground game, with a push of a button to switch positions, get a d submission, it.was to easy I prefer it like undisputed much more conplex. The game also lacks of special moves. D:
But everything else the game is perfect, The engine used in FNR4 makes this gsme a beast!
My other complaint was that you couldn't add dudes with long hair.When tackling a submission it becomes a minigame wich is great and fun!? each time I score a win on career mode It makes me feel proud of myself. The clinch mode is amazing, really fast paced action. overall rent it but If you're a real mma fan this is a definate buy. The roster has some unknown fighters? since the game wasn't licencensed to the UFC, perhaps in the future Dana shall forgive EA and Join forces. (: But the look alikes will be available for fighter download since the photo game face option? oh yeah it's here. The stances, winning movements are far greater than Undisputated and the photo game face feature can make eavh character unique. just get it.
Very Good

It is smoother and better looking than UFC. Way better in this category.
You can either use fight night style or the UFC style either one works well.
The gameplay is far superior than UFC, but tkos are extremely easy until you fight the tippy top tier of fighters and even then you can choose ur shots and while it may tak longer you stil lcan get ur TKO pretty simply.
Career mode takes you from little league to the big time and gives you options to fight in different styles and rules, a chocie between a cage and ring, and others.
Replay Value
After you play one weight class in career mode you can play other and fight other types of fighters which is fun, but after you play throughout all weight classes, which will take a while, it is a great party game.
If you wanan play an mma game go with EA MMA. While the fighters may not be as popular the gameplay is 10xs better than UFC's game.
Very Good
Just a Jab Short of Perfection

Training is easier here than in Undisputed 2010, if a little monotonous after awhile. Bas Rutten, the guy who has taken an interest in your budding pugilistic career, will guide you through your first series of skill-up minigames which increase your stats in certain areas. All of these exercises end up increasing your health, little by little, and you can concentrate in various standup, clinch, ground and submission exercises. After your first couple of fights, you can train in other camps with MMA sages like Randy Couture who not only can provide more intense training sessions, but also have the ability to teach you special moves to expand your skill set.
In the ring, MMA plays similar to Fight Night, using the right stick to throw punches and the face buttons to initiate clinches and defend. The left trigger changes your strikes to kicks, the right bumper aims your fist to your opponent's body, and the left bumper is a feint modifier. The standup game is slightly sloppy, given that the lightest jab or leg kick can interrupt much more potent moves. But MMA really shines in the clinch and on the ground. The transitions are much cleaner and less frantic than in Undisputed, which required frantic right-stick twirling. A timely button press will defend against takedowns and passes. Both types of submissions are presented here cleanly. Joint submissions require button presses to cinch in and to defend against. No mindless button mashing here, or you'll run out of stamina and lose your grip. Choke submissions require both players to rotate the left stick to find its "sweet spot", which is constantly on the move. Again, mindless twirling is out.

This game feels like a mma fight that makes you think and not just spazin out with buttons. The game is not perfect but this is the first game one and 4 the first try they done better than THQ did in 2. This game lays down a great foundation for great games for the future it feels real and is only going 2 get better.

Also the game play is about slow its not fast pace. the take downs are lame. the movement is abit stiff
Now with that said im glad Ea sports turned the UFC down because that MMA game is terrible.
For example its like Playstation has MLB the SHOW its amazing and X box has baseball made by the 2k brand its terrible.
So Strike force if you want a sweet game Call THQ because your game sucked so bad it hurt too play it I played for about 5 minutes and sent that game back so fast Iv never done that too a game ever.
Ps, the striking sound in the game is the worst iv ever hurd it doesnt even sound like your hitting person
Hope it helps

Only few known fighter.
Default Controller are difficult to use, you have to switch but still difficult.
Fight platform if boring. No intensity to the strikes....To keep it short UFC Undisputed is a better Game.

Summary review.

- great fighter customization for career mode.
- career mode is solid, featuring different camps from around the world that you can train at. Plus, once you've completed a training mini-game, you can simulate and reap the benefits of whatever you scored.
- clinch and ground fighting look great, but the moves are limited on the ground.
- great roster (despite popular opinion) featuring Fedor, the Shamrocks, Randy Couture, Cung Le, Bas Rutten, and more.
- the control scheme is complicated
- the striking is really bad; it is very hard to actually ko someone. Jabs and straights are apparently useless. Strikes can be interrupted if struck.
Final thoughts:
This game is a definite rent for any true mma fan, but I still would say that UFC Undisputed 3 is better. This game mainly shines in the clinch and ground fighting, which takes the fun away from being a striker. Also, there is very limited techniques and no knees from side-control.
Its No UFC

We've been working hard to bring you the best content to help and inspire you in your parenting journeys -- from stories from ttc/pregnant/mama bloggers, to diy projects and children's activities, parenting articles, gear guides, and much more. A little inside scoop -- we're currently working on a new fashion feature (maternity, mama, and mini style) and a party inspiration feature!
But we've also been thinking about how we can bring a broader range of stories to Hellobee, because we'll never be able to feature all the different types of parenting experiences out there. So we've decided to open up Hellobee to a lot more guest posts and guest series! It really makes sense because as busy moms (and all moms are busy!), not everyone can commit to being a regular blogger, but they still might have a story that the Hellobee community would love to hear.
In the past we've featured guest posts on birth stories, breastfeeding, cloth diapering, baby led weaning, still births, and even anonymous guest blogs on potentially sensitive topics. Some other topics we'd love to see covered on Hellobee include:
- IVF (and other fertility treatments and ttc challenges)
- fostering, surrogacy, multiples
- special needs kids, multicultural kids (especially where it impacts parenting)
- single parents, unmarried parents, divorced parents
- parenting challenges such as sleep issues, weaning, potty training, etc.
But we welcome compelling, helpful or inspiring posts on any aspect of ttc, pregnancy and parenting. For more information on how to submit a guest post or an idea for a guest series, please check out our guest blog submission page. We'd love to hear from you!
We love the positive and friendly community we have here at Hellobee, and we'll continue working hard to bring you fresh, interesting, inspiring and helpful parenting content!
What type of features, stories, and content would you like to see more of on Hellobee?

Mayim Bialik: Not a Fan of Halloween but Definitely a Fan of Crocheted Beards
I'm not super into Halloween in general. I guess I was as a kid, but my healthy mom wouldn't let me eat unhealthy candy much. I have some nice memories of trick-or-treating with friends with our parents supervising, but it's just not my thing at all. And I hate being scared. Like really hate it. Like it makes me cry.
My dislike of Halloween isn't just because I'm traditionally inclined in the religiously Jewish way, although that may have become part of it in the past 15 years. We have so many interesting and fun and meaningful and spiritually uplifting holidays in Judaism, and we also have the outrageously cool dress-up festival of Purim in the spring, and my boys have always been so gentle and shy and scared of scary things that Halloween has never been a huge thing for any of us.

Going Green
Posted on: June 23, 2010 | Comments (1) | More than meets the eye |
(Fan with Flag) Photo Info: f 4.0 at 1/2000 with a 50 mm. lensbaby.
As I sat in the media center post-race, eating my complimentary corn nuts, it somehow seemed fitting that the guy with the green and gold helmet walked away with the victory… It was a "green" race, both literally and figuratively, green fields, green event T's, green trophy, and of course the smell of ethanol. For Tony Kanaan, luck has been hard to come by as of late. As I stood in Tony's pit box watching a tire bounce across the pit lane I thought for certain another victory had been lost, but a quick response by his crew kept him in the game. Then, with only a handful of laps to go, the golden handprints on the back of his helmet appeared to almost push him to victory on this Father's Day.
