I use this before I go to sleep each night. It´t not too drying and smoothes and calms my skin and all the redness is gone by morning. I have the feeling it also helps the occasional acne heal faster. Love this one!
Very Happy with this powder as it Sets my skin on soft focus and does what it say it does, it doesn't dry the skin, yet controls shine. I cannot fully explain what it does but it makes me look prettier!! I checked my skin with this powder both in digital pictures and at the GYm's lighting and both times my skin looks very bright and "glowing" I am very picky with powder and used to use Chanel but the price didn't justify the product, this one is really great, an HG

This is such an interesting product, and really has been a valuable addition to my kit.
As a photographer and makeup artist, I use it as a great tool for even-ing complexions on Caucasian men, and as a foundation primer on women. I wear it overnight on myself sometimes, and when I don't have time for any makeup in the morning, I apply this all over, and a sweep of blush, and I'm done. It does a great job absorbing/redistributing oil and keeping a nice healthy glow to the skin all day, and even works as a rather helpful little spot treatment at night over Polysporin or tea tree oil.
It may at first appear to leave a white cast, but you really have to let it settle into your skin (or give it a misting of Avene Thermal Water or something). Complaints about pale casting from mineral makeup is often a failure to properly moisturize beforehand, which is key for mineral makeup to do its job properly. I use almost exclusively mineral (Meow, mostly) makeup for photography and I have to say it really lends itself to a natural look. Especially flattering and believable, and looks better and better as the shoot goes on and it settles and settles further into the skin. And my clients say it feels great on, they even forget about it.
Multi-purpose, indispensible, I wish it came in ice-cream-tub size!!

I like this a lot, it works so great for me. It really soothes and calms my sensitive acne-prone skin. When I used only pampered puss foundation my skin looked dry and flaky, now with this as a primer I don´t have that problem anymore. And this is a great plus: if I use my foundation without this primer I have to use it a LOT to cover and make my skin even though there is not much to cover, now I need it much less. It seems like my skin rejects somehow that foundation without a primer, I don´t know.
I tried this out on a day when my normally oily skin was feeling especially dry and irritated--I normally use Meow's oily skin primer powder, but when I'm feeling dry it can obviously exacerbate the problem. The Equilibrium powder is indeed soothing and calming, and not at all drying. Oil control is *ok*, but it's not advertised really as an oil control product so within 4ish hours I turned into an oil slick. Even so it never felt tight or uncomfortable on my skin, so I'll probably buy a jar for winter and for when my skin's feeling moody. I wonder what the point of the combo primer powder is when this pretty much serves the same purpose.
I wanted to like this powder so bad, but the more I use it, the more I think I should use something else.
I assumed that it would apply clear, but it doesn't. It doesn't matter how light of a touch I use, it always looks white. I can see how it might color correct in some instances, but after going to a lot of trouble to match my skin to one particular shade of Meow's foundation, I really do not want to put something on top of it that changes the color. It's fine if I want to look extremely pale and pasty. And yes, there are times when that's exactly what I'm going for. But day to day, that's not what I want. I also noticed that it settles into the pores in my nose, so I end up with white dots all over. This happens even if the primer and foundation have applied well.
The only reason I would continue to use this powder would be to settle down my otherwise bare skin. On days when my nose is extremely oily, I like to clean my face, apply a moisturizer, then sweep the powder over my whole face. Since it applies white, it evens out my skin tone, and it does keep my nose from looking like an oil slick. When I put it on bare skin, it does come off as more matte than just straight up chalky looking, but that's the only time. Applying it in this way is also the only time it feels soothing, since my nose actually hurts when it gets oily. So, I will probably continue to use what I have in that capacity, but I won't be purchasing it again once it runs out. $14 is entirely too much to spend on a powder that is only useful once a month.
I'm surprised to read the previous review. I've tried this product & I absolutlely love it. I have very dry & sensitive skin. I use a very rich face cream which I let soak in for 20 mins or so prior to applying my mineral foundation. I also apply a light layer of finishing powder but despite this I always get re-bound shine on my chin & T-zone midday or early afternoon. Without the finishing powder I get shine within a couple of hours.
I tried a light layer of P&P Equilibrium Balance before applying my foundation, but I didn't apply any finishing powder. I did feel a touch dry in some areas (cheeks etc) initially, but it wasn't an uncomfortable tight & itchy dry feeling. That feeling disappeared after about an hour though. I never got any re-bound shine though! Even though I didn't apply any finishing powder. After 10 hours I still don't have any shine. The foundation doesn't have that "matte perfect photoshop" finish that I get with the finishing powder but it's certainly not shiny, but more like the foundation has melded with my skin. It just looks very natural :)
This is definitively one of my new staples!

Well, now. I had really high hopes for this, based on their website description that it would moisturize and soothe my skin prior to my Mineral Makeup Foundation. WRONG!! It dried my skin out soooo bad, that I felt like it was shriveling up as the day went on. What was I thinking, though, really. A powder that is moisturizing!? This reminds me of Laura Mercier's Secret Brightening Powder. Same look and texture. I really should have just ordered a sample, but I was placing an order and didn't want to have to pay separate shipping if I liked it, so I ordered the full size. Maybe I can make it work by moisturizing the hell out of my skin first, and just using it over a tinted moisturizer on casual days, as Meow Cosmetics have a NO RETURN policy (didn't know that 'till too late). Waste of $14.00. Oh, well, I guess you live and learn as you go, right!?

Pottery Barn Style Floral Easter Eggs
By: Jessica from Sew Homegrown
If you're looking for craft ideas for Easter that are more fun than Easter egg coloring, try these Pottery Barn Style Floral Easter Eggs. Faux hydrangea blossoms in the style of Pottery Barn Easter eggs are perfect as unique Easter egg decorations!
- 6 papier mache eggs (available at Michael's for $2.50 each)
- 3 feet of ribbon
- 6 bunches of silk hydrangea flowers (2 bunches per color)
- hot glue/glue gun
- scissors
- Heat up your glue gun and snip all of the blossoms off the stems.
- Separate the blossoms by color.
- Separate the blossoms by size.
- Cut 6 pieces of ribbon about 6" long each. Put a dab of hot glue on the top of an egg. Gently press one end of the ribbon in the glue. Loop the ribbon around and glue it to the secured end. Now you have a pretty little loop to hang your eggs.
- Begin gluing the blooms on. Start with the large blooms. You might have to put a dab of glue in the center of the flower first, stick it on, and then add some glue to the petals. They don't have to lay flat. In fact it's better if they don't. However, you don't want them sticking out in every direction either.
- Once you have a nice coverage from the large blooms, begin filling in the spaces with the medium- and small-sized blooms. Keep gluing until you can't see any of the original egg.
- Then you're finished! Hang in a lovely spot or on some branches in a vase.

My family and I attended our first 'Zombie Walk' yesterday and it was in a local town square. I always enjoy going to the square ESPECIALLY in the fall because they do fantastic container gardening throughout and there's always seed heads (begging) to come home with me..
As we walked around the square we were told to stay in 'character'... *zombie groan*, shuffling ... reaching out to the REAL people that were taking pictures...you know, pretending we wanted to munch on them and such.. but I just could not stop myself.. I saw the containers as we drew closer and I just HAD to reach out and grab some seed heads from each container I shuffled by... My kids were just shaking their heads.. so I started groaninggg "SEEEEEEEDSSS" and snatching them and shoving them into my pocket. Even becoming part of the un-dead couldn't stop my seed obsession! :) Here's a pic of my gory family... |

This revolutionary bath tub called the Wave was designed by Pauline Maraud, Hélène Guibert and Hélène Le Héricy, a group of product design students in France. This dual-functional bathing basin not only allows you to take a nice warm bath, it is also an exercise machine. Now you can skip the gym, and work out in the comfort of your own home. The best part of it all is that once you are done the workout, you can immediately soak your muscles in a relaxing bubble bath.
The overall benefit of this product is that, unlike other clunky exercise machines that take up lots of space in the home, the Wave fits comfortably in your washroom. It is also beautifully designed with a chic and contemporary look, which is another added benefit of this product.

Moscow, Russian Federation
My Rating
The meeting site was precise (address).
The guide was punctual, knowledgable, relaxed and thorough
As for the tour well organized and educational. We were given many opportunities for questions and pictures..
Most enjoyable. Highly recommended.
Prague, Czech Republic
My Rating
Firstly: There were two tour buses , one tour guide; consequently we were left withour a guide. In retrospect that was good because the other driver was a bad fast driver. Our driver did his best to be a driver and guide.
As for the tour it was comprehensive and certainly gave us a desire to return.
Brussels, Belgium
My Rating
The meeting site was confusing. The square was large with many busses. Addresses facillitate in a common language a meeting point.
As for tour: the speed of the tour made it difficult to view the attractions and when the bus slowed down the view was blocked by trees and or bushes. Maybe the chauffer had a view we certainly did not.

I have been painting an old truck, at a friends shop.. When it broke out the sprinkles, then rained solid for an hour or two I was so relieved. Both the Hosta gardener, and the farmers have been desperate for a good drink of rain water in the soil.
I came home tired and dirty from my project.. but walked slowly along the line to see the plants reaching out, trying to grab every drop they could. The chill water on my head and clothes felt like heaven.. I think I know how the plants feel now... |
Follow-Up Postings:
Wonderful feeling. THAT's what plants are for...making you feel good. They do that for me too...and I've had some BIG catastrophies happen in my life, but the hostas are still there. Gets your head on straight. Good. -Babka |
Leafwatcher, we also had a very nice rain. .80 inches yesterday and has been raining gently for about two hrs! Hostas are looking much happier than they were Thursday afternoon when it was hot and windy. Water on your head, where was your Fedora? |

They don't call it 'right as rain' for nuttin'! Glad you could get some.Today,we finally got a sunny day,after many days of showers every afternoon,and it was nice also. Phil |

Trudy I was to dirty for the hat ! and we managed to squeeze nearly two inches of rain out of those clouds.. I am glad it made it over to your area.. I hope it doesn't wait so long next time... |
Two inches, Leafwatcher! I bet you hostas are loving the moisture. A few of the larger cracks are now closed up again in the garden. |
- Posted by leafwatcher zone 5 (My Page) on Sun, Jun 17, 12 at 12:02
I am a man of many hats ! I do have a large straw hat, and a REALLY big hat that is my go to hat if I will be mowing for hours at a time out on my Moms farm. And yes the Hosta are happy with the rain, we also managed to get a small shower since the initial 2 inches of liquid growth serum .. hahhahah The Blue Mammoth is hiding in a bank of greens, waiting.. watching, while the Deep Blue Sea is still tied up with the orange tape... I need to go clip it.. but it has been standing so tall and strong I have been afraid it might run away before it makes new friends here :) |
Yes, we do love rain don't we? A string of rainy days has most people grumbling, especially my students who have to suffer though indoor recess (well, actually it is the teachers suffering :) ), but I am always doing my happy dance! We have had nice cool weather (70s-80s during day, 50s at night), but they are predicting 100 degree temps by Wednesday. Time to haul out the hose and start preparing. UGH. Glad for those who had rain! Although we have had some this month, none in our forecast. |

Won't mention our rain here, might make you envious. But I was happy to see a day without it for a chance. Now I can walk around and maybe cut the lawn tomorrow and look civilized again. Always have been fond of a rainy day, the usual or historic weather pattern for summer here was "scattered afternoon thunderstorms," and nothing had to be hand watered. Now we never know what to expect. Feast or famine. I have one hosta especially that kicked into overdrive with all the rain---Fragrant Dream. It might need a new pot before the season ends. But won't mess with it until after it blooms. Another few days and we have the longest day of the year, when the sun is at its most northerly point, and the shade under my south shade plants is at a minimum. The hosta scrooched together there are larger than they were when first potted up, and I watch for any communicable diseases in any of them. Tomorrow after I cut the grass, I figure it will be dry enough to broadcast more slug get-um stuff. |
I can not complain of having had no rain. All plants are larger this year, even the roses are blooming profusely. I also like to walk in the rain, especially like to watch my slim but long dry creek awake carrying water. But as cyn writes we also have hot days coming, 94 and 95, before and after 85s. So I will water the whole yard to keep plants growing. Luckily my hostas are mostly in some shade, so they would survive even without watering right now. Bernd |

["Approved" means, "approval to operate" which means compliance with state standards as set forth in the California Private Postsecondary Education Act of 2009 (California Education Code, Title 3, Division 10, Part 59, Chapter 8).]*Effective June 1, 2013, WISR admits all new doctoral students to an EdD program, while previously enrolled doctoral students complete their PhDs–we made the decision to switch the PhD program to an EdD program to enable us to explore the possibility of seeking national accreditation with an agency approved to accredit professional doctoral degrees.
Areas of study are: Psychology (including a program that leads to the State's Marriage and Family Therapy License as well as for those seeking to become a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor), Social Sciences, Human Services and Community Development, and Education and Social Change.
The Doctoral program is especially for college professors, adult and community educators; community service professionals and activists; and self-employed consultants and therapists interested in teaching, community involvement, or writing for professional or lay audiences. Students design their learning activities with faculty assistance – pursuing readings, practical projects, action-oriented research, meaningful writing in their own voice, and building bridges to their desired (and sometimes quite distinctive) career paths.
A few WISR students study from great distances – from throughout California and as far away as Colorado, Boston, Canada, Nigeria and Chile–and confer frequently with faculty by phone between occasional visits. WISR is a multiethnic institution and we embrace and celebrate diversity among our faculty and students.
Students are encouraged to consider issues of community improvement, social change, multiculturality and organizational innovation in their studies.
Students and Prospective Students are also expected to review the section on "Important Legally Required Disclosures."

The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

The Vizo Ares II 2.5" Drive Adapter
Here we get our first look at the Ares II. The carrier is the same size as a floppy drive. The two buttons on the left push to the right to open the doors.
One nice feature is that the drive just slides into the Ares II without the need for rails or anything screwed into the drive. Just slide a drive in and close the door.
When you open the door a release mechanism pushes the drive away from the connectors and you can grab the drive with your fingers to pull it out the rest of the way.
Here we see the data and power connectors. The Ares II comes with a special adapter that routs some extra power to an LED system.
On the side of the carrier Vizo has included mounting holes so you can use the carrier in a floppy drive bay or a hard drive bay.
Here we see the unit filled with a SATA 2.5" hard drive.

In children who already had a viral load below 50 copies/mL with a protease inhibitor (PI) regimen, a 70% lopinavir/ritonavir maintenance dose was noninferior to the full dose in keeping viral load below 50 copies for 48 weeks, according to results of a multicenter Thai trial presented at IAS 2013. However, children weighing 35 to 50 kg had more than a 3 times higher risk of virologic failure than children weighing less. In addition, twice as many children taking low-dose lopinavir/ritonavir had a lopinavir trough concentration below 1 mg/dL at week 48. All children enrolled in this multicenter trial in Thailand weighed between 25 and 50 kg and were younger than 18. The study did not include children with resistance to PIs, those taking two PIs, and those taking medications that may interact with lopinavir/ritonavir, rifampin, nevirapine, or efavirenz. Children weighing 25 to 35 kg were randomized to the full dose (300/75 mg) or to 200/50 mg twice daily. Children weighing 35 to 50 kg were randomized to the full dose (400/100 mg) or to 300/75 mg twice daily. A missing-data-equal-failure analysis determined that 90 of 98 children in the standard-dose group and 89 of 101 in the low-dose group had a viral load below 50 copies at week 48 (91.8% versus 88.1%, difference -3.7%, 95% confidence interval [CI] -12.0 to 0.46, P = 0.38). A missing-data-equal-censored analysis determined that 89 of 95 children in the standard-dose arm and 89 of 97 in the low-dose arm had a week-48 viral load below 50 copies (93.7% versus 91.8%, difference -1.9, 95% CI -9.4 to 5.5, P = 0.61). Median lopinavir trough at week 48 measured 6.9 mg/dL in the standard-dose arm (range 0.3 to 20.4) and 5.2 mg/dL in the low-dose arm (range 0.2 to 11.8), a nonsignificant difference. Four children in the standard-dose group and 10 in the low-dose group had a lopinavir trough below 1 mg/dL at week 48. Multivariate statistical analysis determined that poor adherence to therapy more than tripled the odds of virologic failure (adjusted odds ratio 3.3, 95% CI 1.3 to 8.1), as did weight between 35 to 50 kg versus less (adjusted odds ratio 3.6, 95% CI 1.2 to 10.8). At week 48, total cholesterol and triglyceride levels were significantly worse in the standard-dose group.Source: T. Puthanakit, P. Suntarattiwong, P. Sangkla, et al.

Like most of you, we're getting tired of snow and ice here. Last storm dumped about 8" of the very wet heavy stuff. I was able to clear everything OK, but it tended to "clump" on the blade and didn't roll or curl very well. I've thought about waxing the blade for these situations, but have never done it. Also thought about a high gloss or other paint. Just wonder with all the abrasion that gets how long it would last? Thinking of paint, etc. on the underside of mower decks, great idea, but tends to get "sandblasted" off fairly quickly. If this continues, may break down and get a snow thrower. Though from ones I've had they don't throw the heavy wet stuff too far. Certainly better than a blade though. I plow in 3rd gear with the GT, 26HP, loaded tires, wheel weights and chains. Moves along OK, but obviously can't get the speed to really move snow. Opinions? Keep warm, Ev |

Stiction is an old motorcycle term that better defines what you're taking about. Full size and industrial equipment just overcomes stiction with horsepower torque, and mass. Experienced small equipment operators always wax their blades and blowers. Makes the snow just curl off the blade and keep augers and chutes on blowers clear. I use the old standard, Turtle Paste Wax, when I mount my blower in the fall and it lasts all winter. We're not talking about real high feed speed or incredible snow volume with LT and GT snow removal so a good wax job should last a season. When I had a blade a good wax allowed a little more speed when plowing and the snow literally ran off the blade even wet heavy stuff, but a snow blower dramatically outperformed the blade so I made the move. With a waxed blower as long as there's enough snow to feed the auger the second stage and chute stay clear and the snow travels quite a ways so you don't have to move it again like you might with a blade.. |
Thanks lurker, When I lived in "snow country," upstate NY, Oswego, had a big snow blower but only about a 40' driveway. So moved a lot of snow, thanks to the "lake effect" from Lake Ontario, but never had to get into the finer subtleties of snow blowing. Other, than learned it was critical to take it into somewhere above freezing to let the water, ice, etc. melt. Did some googling and discovered that waxing is popular, but also just spraying down the blade with "Pam" or silicone spray seems more so. Since the tractor is in an unheated barn, will save the waxing till it warms up. Did spray with silicone and it did seem to help today. Anybody remember some years back when "Pam" was the perfect solution to keep grass from sticking in a mower deck? I think Sears even sold a rebranded version in the L&G section? Thanks again, Ev |
- Posted by justalurker (My Page) on Wed, Feb 5, 14 at 18:17
I've found that spraying, whether Pam, silicone, or a specialty product, IS short lived and requires repeated applications, but anything is better than a dry blade. I've seen winters up there in Norwich and Oneonta. Impressive and just as much a PITA as the snow @ 7k ft in the Rockies. I've got a 150 ft gravel driveway that goes uphill and often drifts more than halfway up the garage door. |

I use Turtle wax Spray and just spray it on and do not wipe it down. Helps a lot and only spray it a couple times a year. My tractor is in a heated garage which makes sticking of snow worse - a cold blade works better than a warm one. |
I have a 42 inch double stage blower on the front of my Simplicity Conquest, it handles the heavy stuff just fine. |

I have a cedar deck which has been protected with multiple coats of Cabot Silcone Waterbased Waterproofing. It repels water but the wood is very dry and needs some oil I think to keep it from creaking. I live in Eastern Washington state where the summers are hot and dry and winters are cold and snowy. What is a good product to protect the decking. I like the natural and/or weathered look. |

Sorry...but treatments with silicone in them HAVE to be removed completely or the next stain will peel in short order!!! * Oils won't penetrate the silicone. * This will have to be stripped/sanded-through, so new stain can absorb & hold evenly. * I'm NOT a fan of "clear water sealers" for decks!! All they do is keep water out...for a while. * They do little or nothing for UV protection. * The SUN is what destroys/breaks-down wood-cellulose. * This protection comes from a pigmented stain. >>> I've got a 13y/o Redwood deck, and I wouldn't let Thompson's or a "Clear-sealer" within 20' of my deck...

STALIN (2003) Somewhere,
floating way out on the periphery of young Jewish minds there exists a
memory that recognizes the significance of the language affectionately
known as Yiddish. There, the legend of the Yiddish language rests,
cradled by our Jewish pride, and there it will comfortably and securely
slumber for all time without a second thought. Of course we fully realize
what Yiddish technically is - whether you consider it the language that
the old-time Jews from Europe spoke in the shtetl, or the speech Chasidim
stubbornly continue to speak, or maybe
we are even aware of the two kids who took Yiddish as a foreign language
at Queens College for a nostalgic kick (then they told you half the class
wasn't Jewish). A nostalgic value – perhaps this will be the entire
Yiddish legacy being carried into the new millennium. Yiddish remains
currently a curious, yet
endearing relic of a bygone era. A language born of hardship and
isolation, community and otherness. My grandmother, who was born in New
York but who's parents came over from Russia, still maintains that we
young people should learn Jewish (as she calls it) so we can communicate
with all Jews around the world. But we know that Yiddish is a dying
language and is being unarguably replaced by Hebrew as the official common
speech of the Jewish people. We humor her and say we know "a bissel"
Yiddish and rattle off the five or six words accumulated being that they
have become phrases, not only in the American Jewish lexicon, but American
culture proper. Words like schlep and chutzpah (even my spellchecker is
letting these words go by unquestioned). L'Chayim
Comrade Stalin is a new documentary that can correctly be described as a
film conducting a history lesson regarding the Jewish Autonomous Region
(J.A.R.) of Siberia created by Stalin before World War II, but I would
rather view it as a film about what Yiddish truly represents and the power
it may still possess. To actually
learn the fascinating history of the J.A.R., you can't do better than
catching a screening of Yale Strom's little movie, so I resist the urge
to give even an abridged version of the story. But to inform those of you
who do not know this gem of Jewish history (as I admit I didn't): In
1928, Joseph Stalin, for all sorts of politically self-serving reasons,
encouraged the Jews in Russia to settle an outpost in the Far Eastern
region of Siberia (bordering China). The land was officially designated
for Jews with its capital called Birobidzhan and as a result of this
apparent miracle, the call went out to Jews around the world: "We have
our (frozen swamp of a) homeland!" The film shows,
through modern-day interviews, grainy stock footage, and a peculiar Jewish
propaganda film from the time, that the attitude surrounding this venture
was ripe with the classic Jew-in-exile perspective - extreme skepticism
and extreme hope. Jews naturally were skeptical when receiving free gifts
with no strings attached from their beloved government and yet they
believed with true hearts that the J.A.R. had great potential. Their
gentile neighbors were sure that Jews would never last in an agrarian
society. A common joke at the time involved a Jew being mystified by a
shovel, not knowing its purpose. In the year
2003, after a little oasis called Israel proved to the world that Jews
know a thing or two about shovels – and irrigation and agriculture and
more or less can grow crops out of sand, the stereotype about the helpless
Jew in the wild is (or should be) dead and buried. What is even
more astounding, yet hardly unbelievable considering our self-knowledge,
is the gathering (kibbutz goliyot if you will) that followed the birth of
the first Jewish state established since the destruction of the temple in
70 B.C.E. An American woman tells the story of how her family picked up
from Akron, Ohio and traveled to Brooklyn – where they then sailed to
Germany and then to Helsinki – took a train to Leningrad and finally a
train to Birobidzhan. Another family departed by boat from San Francisco
and made their way to Siberia by way of Japan. However, you are not really
surprised by these tales of madness and insanity. Why? Because you have
seen many times despite the constant hardships in Israel, the devotion and
idealism that motivates families to continuously make Aliyah (the settling
of Israel by Jews from other countries). And because you know Jews are
crazy. Case in point is one interviewee who claims that the reason her
family made the trek from America to Siberia was because her father said
he "wanted to help" (idealistic) and so they packed up, among other
things, their tennis rackets and net so the Jews already living in the
J.A.R. could play tennis (crazy). The same woman describes her shock after
arriving in Russia and herring was served for dinner. Herring was
something you ate sparingly at a kiddush – it was certainly not a main
course. These charming anecdotes told by the individuals who lived them
makes the film exceptionally poignant and real. Cinematically,
however, I believe the film could have been better. The cuts and the usage
of a subliminally flashed phrase (The Jewish Question) are both amateurish
and inartistic. These areas (technique) don't appear to be Yale
Strom's issue and therefore he neglects art and style, but prefers
content, which he delivers impeccably. I also have issue with his
interviewing style, specifically when he interviews Gentiles like his
Russian guide. He comes off as arrogant and patronizing in the sense that
he practically is laughing at the disfavor with which Jews are viewed in
Russia. I felt like I was watching a smart-ass High School kid interview
the Latin janitor for the Purim Chagiga video – back when some believed
that janitors were props, not people. It seems as though he immaturely
supposes that he promotes his worth as a human being and a Jew by looking
down on the poor uneducated peasants who truly don't know any better. Once we manage
to digest the fact that this isn't a Jamie Kennedy Experiment and that
this bizarre Jewish state actually existed (exists!) – and it takes a
while – we can begin to focus in on the inhabitants of the J.A.R., the
society they chose, and the culture they perpetuated. The Jews who
settled the J.A.R. quickly learned that, despite the terrible conditions
including no shelter and mounds of snow, the promise of a Jewish state was
legitimate. For the first time in two thousand years Jews were free to
define themselves and create, build, and grow in a uniquely Jewish way. So
of course they stopped keeping Halachah (Jewish religious law). One
ancient gentleman interviewed describes the interesting phenomenon that
took place where the Jews, under Russian persecution, kept kosher and
Shabbos, yet once they were free in a Jewish homeland to do as they
pleased, animals were no longer ritually slaughtered and work was done
seven days a week. Judaism in the J.A.R. did not consist of a Halachic
praxis; rather the culture was quintessentially Jewish in that it was, in
a word, Yiddish. The first
public building to be erected in Birobidzhan was the Yiddish theatre,
followed by the school which taught the Yiddish language. On the stage of
the theatre, bearded and payissed Tevyes and Mottels pranced around with
tzi-tzis trailing behind them as they pondered the meaning of a pious
Jew's life, but the audience was filled with young, modern, agrarian men
of destiny who viewed the performances as a comical throwback to a simpler
and less diligent time. A time where things like marrying a Jew mattered.
The link that these self-aware Jews attached to their heritage became
strictly that of Yiddish culture and whatever Yiddish culture consisted
of. A language and a dramatic art form - but perhaps, as we later see,
more than that. Yiddish embodied an uncompromising Jewish feeling for the
people attempting to kindle a dim Zionistic light an eternity away from
the mainland. The language was not only spoken, but it was cherished and
revered. Yiddish, as we might recognize using that memory stored at the
Siberias of our brains, appears to have a grand spirit. It has a
sustaining quality that managed to sometimes single-handedly save the
spark of Judaism inside thousands of Jews who would have otherwise been
lost. However, the question remains: Where do we go from here? Can a Yiddish state survive? ---------------------------------------------------- |

Motto: A land of desolation where all are welcome | |
Leadership | Prime Minister Waesche |
Official language | English |
Currency | Westarctica Dollar |
Date of foundation | 2nd November, 2001 |
Location | Marie Byrd Land, Antarctica |
Capital | Peter I Island |
Demonym | Westarctican |
Westarctica is an area of desolate land in western Antarctica that was unclaimed until an American declared the area his own micronation, a declaration of status not recognized by established countries, in 2001. The territory consists of Marie Byrd Land with a few additional claims and has no year round residents, although research stations have been located in the region. Westarctica was founded on a supposed loophole in the Antarctic Treaty. The claim of micronation status has been used as a basis to mint and sell coins to collectors.
The bulk of Westarctican territory consists of Marie Byrd Land; this was the original territory claimed. It was defined as all land south of 60° S and between 90° W and 150° W. This is between the claim of Chile and the claim of New Zealand. The original capital was named Achilles. Later on, the Balleny Islands claimed by New Zealand and Peter I Island claimed by Norway were annexed. Peter I Island was declared the new capital of Westarctica. After the reformation of the Grand Duchy into a protectorate (October 2010) Travis McHenry reduced the Westarctican claim in order to join the AMU and recognize other micronational claims in West-Antarctica. This decission was made official after the signing of the West-Antarctic Treaty.
On November 2, 2001, Travis McHenry decided to claim Marie Byrd Land as a country upon discovering that no country yet claimed it. However, this was because the Antarctic Treaty prevented any new claims on Antarctica by countries. To get around this, McHenry claimed the land as an individual and then founded a country, the Achaean Territory of Antarctica, upon it. He sent letters to the governments of Russia, France, Norway, Australia, New Zealand, Argentina, Chile, the United States, and the United Kingdom to inform them of his claim. All of these countries ignored McHenry and his claim.
In 2004, McHenry changed the name of his country to the Grand Duchy of Westarctica. The next year, he claimed the Balleny Islands and Peter I Island, which were already claimed by New Zealand and Norway, respectively. Grand Duke Travis abdicated in 2006 in favor of being Baron of Dunluce Castle. He was replaced as Grand Duke by Philip Karns.
In early 2008 Health issues caused Philip Karns to cease his involvement in Westarctica. During this time operations moved from Westarctica.com to Westarctica.org. The head of state from 2008 until 2010 was Jon-Lawrence Langer, the Duke of Moulton-Berlin. After a time of inactivity Langer requested that Westarcticans and Westarctica's allies in the micronational community aide in the projects revitalization, but those projects were largely unsuccessful. Meanwhile Langer came in conflict with other Antarctic micronations and some Westarcticans, this resulted in the symbolic Great Micronational Antarctic War and the foundation of the Antarctic Micronational Union. The conflict was even mentioned in a Dutch travel magazine.
On June 3, 2010, the founder of Westarctica, Travis McHenry, aided by members of the Westarctica Baronage, overthrew Grand Duke Jon-Lawrence and proclaimed a transitional government. The following day, the transitional authorities made sweeping changes to Westarctica's government, including rejecting the monarchical form of government, and recognizing all competing claims to Westarctican territory. As of June 4, 2010, Westarctica is being led by the Count of Waesche, who was appointed Prime Minister. The founder is now recognized as Travis, Protector of Westarctica. In October 2010 after singing the West-Antarctic treaty, Westarctica joined the AMU.
Present day
Westarctica has produced several coins, in the form of both wooden nickel and metal coins. They have also made stamps. In 2006, Westarctica was featured in Micronations: The Lonely Planet Guide to Home-Made Nations. After the signing of the West-Antarctic treaty in October 2010 Westarctica is a member of the Antarctic Micronational Union.
Like all micronations, Westarctica is not recognised by the government of any larger country, despite its attempts to be. Its sovereignty comes from the declarative theory of statehood. Westarctica is recognised by other micronations.

Pitcher Masahiro Tanaka has agreed to a seven-year, $155-million deal with the New York Yankees, according to a story first reported by Ken Rosenthal of Fox Sports.
Hank Steinbrenner, the co-chairman of the Yankees, has confirmed the news, according to the Associated Press.
"We're going to do what we've got to do to win," Steinbrenner said. "We had to make sure we had enough pitching to go together with our new lineup."
The deal, which contains an opt-out clause after the fourth year, would be the fifth-richest ever signed by a pitcher. The 25-year-old Tanaka was 24-0 with a 1.27 ERA last season while pitching in Japan for the Rakuten Golden Eagles. He joins a New York starting rotation fronted by CC Sabathia and Hiroki Kuroda, both of whom faded last season. He also joins a Yankees roster that lost Robinson Cano but gained Jacoby Ellsbury, Carlos Beltran and Brian McCann. In short, this is as fascinating and unpredictable a Yankees team as has taken the field in years.
All told, the Yankees have committed $438 million to free agents since the end of the season, while letting Cano go. The team will also not have to pay Alex Rodriguez most of the $25 million he would have been owed this year as a result of his suspension for violating the league's joint drug agreement.
Tanaka joins Sabathia, Kuroda and Ivan Nova in a rotation where the fifth starter's job appears to be open.
His deal pushes the Yankees' 2014 payroll for purposes of the luxury tax over $203 million. Barring trades, there is little chance New York will get under the $189 million tax threshold.
Yankees managing general partner Hal Steinbrenner had been saying for two years that getting under the tax threshold in 2014 was a goal but wouldn't get in the way of fielding a contending team.
The most prominent pitchers remaining on the free-agent market -- among them Matt Garza, Ubaldo Jimenez and Ervin Santana -- all have spent the last few weeks in a holding pattern, waiting for the Tanaka sweepstakes to unfold. The news on Tanaka figures to break the logjam, as teams that were interested in Tanaka but fell short figure to turn their attention to the next tier of starting pitchers.
(Several of the teams that had bid on Tanaka did so as part of a long-term plan that didn't necessarily involve competing this season, including both Chicago teams. Those teams aren't likely to bid for Garza or forfeit a draft pick for Jimenez or Santana.)
As the pitching market shakes loose, the Red Sox will be able to determine if there is a market for one of their surplus starting pitchers.
Meeting with reporters before the "Hot Stove, Cool Music" roundtable at Fenway Park on Tuesday night, Ben Cherington didn't sound like he was champing at the bit to trade a starting pitcher even after the Tanaka news -- which hadn't broken at that point.
"We're not expecting any significant movement," he said. "We're not expecting (trades). We feel good about where we are, about the players we have, and just focusing on getting ready for spring training at this point."

How ants find their way: Scientists reveal how wood ants navigate by visual landmarks
18 October 2006
Ever wondered how ants find their way straight to the uncovered food in your kitchen? Now scientists have discovered how the humble wood ant navigates over proportionally huge distances, using just very poor eyesight and confusing and changing natural landmarks. The research could have significant benefits in the development of autonomous robots and in furthering our understanding of basic animal learning processes.
Scientists at the University of Sussex, funded by the Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council (BBSRC), have shown precisely how the ant's visual navigation strategy works. On a wood ant's first trip to a food site it follows a chemical trail left by earlier ants. This is a slow way of travelling as the ant needs to walk with its antennae to the ground. However, this initial route forms the basis of an efficient learning strategy. On the first trip ants store images of the route as they travel and on later trips to the food site will navigate using a combination of landmarks and memories of the whole landscape. The scientists found the ants even used different sets of landmark memories depending on whether they were on their way to food, or whether they were full and heading back to the nest. Ants store many memories and have mechanisms to activate the right ones.
The researchers refined their research on ant visual memory selection in lab experiments. Research leader, Professor Tom Collett from the University of Sussex's Centre for Neuroscience, explained: "To show that ants use visual memory to navigate we trained ants to find food 10cm from a cylinder. We then doubled the size of the cylinder and the ants searched for the food at 20cm away where the retinal size of the landmark was the same."
To analyse the ants' powers of recall an ambiguous situation was set up. Ants were trained to search for food between two cylinders of different sizes and then tested with the training cylinders replaced by two cylinders of the same size. Would ants know which cylinder is which? They were only able to search in the predicted place when a patterned background was introduced as a retrieval cue. Professor Collett said: "To know which cylinder was which ants needed the patterned background to be in a different position on the retina when they faced one or other cylinder. Accurate memory retrieval often relies on ants storing a large panorama."
A better understanding of ant navigation could help to develop autonomous robots. Professor Collett explained: "Insect behaviour is much more 'machine-like' than that of mammals, and ants are a lot less flexible in their use of navigational strategies. This stereotypy makes it easier to understand how their strategies operate and to design robots that navigate following similar principles."
The researchers are now planning further experiments that will reveal new levels of detail about insect visuo-motor behaviour and allow the construction of models of memory retrieval.
Professor Julia Goodfellow, Chief Executive of BBSRC, said: "Cognitive systems research gives us the opportunity to learn more about the ways that animals, including humans, process information to learn, reason, make decisions and communicate. BBSRC is working with other Research Councils and funders to support new interdisciplinary research in this area."

On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.
