Antisemitism and anti-Israel racism
Disputes and arguments over alleged antisemitism have a habit of quickly heading down a dead end of accusations and counter-accusations, leaving no common understanding or resolution. A derogatory comment about Jews, or Israel, or Zionism is made; the person who made it is accused of antisemitism; they deny it; everyone entrenches their position and closes their ears. A good example of the futility and frustration that often results is Deborah Orr's article from 2001, "I'm fed up being called an anti-Semite".
But what if the bigotry being displayed is not in fact antisemitism, but racism against Israel and Israelis? Israel's detractors often accuse Israel of anti-Palestinian racism. What if some of them are guilty of racism against Israelis? And what is the difference between this and antisemitism?
I am brought to these questions by the reports that the Chairman of Amnesty International in Finland, Frank Johannson, has called Israel a "scum state". To be precise, according to the Tundra Tabloids blog which translated his words into English, he wrote on his blog:
A friend of mine who works in Israel, was visiting while piling wood in the shed, we got into his favourite topic. Several years of residence in the holy country, he has come to the conclusion that "Israel is a scum state". On the basis of my own visit, which occurred during the 1970s and 1990s for the final time, I agree.
The comment has been translated elsewhere as "punk state" or "creep state". According to the Jerusalem Post:
[Amnesty International spokeswoman Susanne] Flood said that Johansson used the phrase "creep state" to describe Israel, rather than "scum," as the initial English translation of the Finnish word found. Native Finnish speakers from Tundra Tabloids said the Finnish term used by Johansson to denigrate Israel is a "highly derogatory term," and is frequently translated as "scum," "scum bag" or "douche bag."
Whatever the precise translation – and "scum state" seems to have stuck – it is clearly a pretty insulting phrase. Johannson has since removed the post from his blog, and explained:
I decided to take down my blog because I appreciate that my comments were ill-judged and appear all the more so when taken out of context, and have obviously caused offence to many people although it was not my intention, at all, to cause such offence.
His comment is reminiscent of the 2001 remark by the then French Ambassador to the UK, Daniel Bernard, that Israel was a "shitty little country" and that "those people" were putting the whole world in danger of World War Three. On both occasions, other commentators were quick to see antisemitism in the comments, even though they were explicitly about Israel rather than, explicitly, about Jews. Of course, both Johannson and Bernard denied that they or their comments were antisemitic.
So is there another way to approach this question? Antisemitism is commonly understood to be prejudice, hatred or discrimination against Jews, often with an ideological component and, for some, specifically European in origin. Jews and Israel are clearly not the same thing: around half the world's Jews are not Israeli, and around a fifth of Israelis are not Jewish. Israel is a formally constituted sovereign state, and the Jews are a disparate, amorphous set of people and communities. And so on. It follows, then, that anti-Israel feeling and antisemitism should be different things. However, Israel was created as a national home for the Jews, and it has a Jewish character. In almost every aspect of Jewish life – culture, religion, politics, academia and so on – Israel is the beating heart of the Jewish world. For most people, Israel and Jews will always be intuitively connected. So it also follows that anti-Israel feeling and antisemitism would not be entirely separate from one another.
What if we view Johannson's comment, and Bernard's, not as examples antisemitism but rather of anti-Israel racism, or bigotry, or prejudice? British law recognises that national groups can be subject to racism: in Section III of the Public Order Act 1986 (pdf), "racial hatred" is defined as "hatred against a group of persons in Great Britain defined by reference to colour, race, nationality (including citizenship) or ethnic or national origins." (my emphasis). Now, it should be recognised that both Johannson and Bernard spoke of Israel the "state" or "country", not Israeli people either in Israel or in Britain. Plus, the name of a country is often used as a shorthand for its government. Still, both comments are so sweeping and unqualified as to give the impression that they take in Israel, its government, people and perceived national character. Nor are they alone: similar sentiments about Israel and Israelis are not hard to find, particularly on anti-Zionist blogs or in the comment threads on mainstream media websites. Language in this context is important. Take, for example, the Guardian's description of Israel as "an arrogant nation", and Professor Colin Shindler's response in their letters column.
This leads me onto the comparison of Israel with South Africa which is so beloved of Israel's opponents, but from the rather different angle of this famous Spitting Image song:
For non-British readers or those of a young age, Spitting Image was a satirical puppet show that ran during the 1980s and 1990s; I've Never Met a Nice South African was broadcast in 1986 and then released as the B-side to The Chicken Song, which reached no. 1 in the charts.
The lyrics of this song are brutal: the choruses describe South African people variously as "a bunch of arrogant bastards / Who hate black people"; "a bunch of talentless murderers / Who smell like baboons" and "a bunch of ignorant loudmouths / With no sense of humour". Even allowing for the fact that it is a comedy song for a notoriously cruel satirical show, I'm not sure these particular lyrics could be written and broadcast nowadays; or at least if they were, there would be a deluge of complaints and possibly even demands for a prosecution. Opinions will differ on whether or not this change in atmosphere is a good thing. My point is that hatred of a country or anger at its government's policies, can easily find expression via racist or bigoted statements about all of its people, especially if you believe that the particular policies to which you object are intrinsic to the character of the country. There is much in the anti-Israel discourse in this country that smacks of an emotional reaction to Israel, up to and including hatred, which goes beyond its government and encompasses the country and people as a whole. I would call it anti-Israel racism; if you don't like that term, use bigotry or prejudice instead.
Nobody likes to think of themself as racist, but there is a particular resistance amongst left-wing people to the idea that they are capable of racism or antisemitism. This is partly because the left defines itself as anti-racist, and views racism in narrow terms as a function of power relations rather than a form of bigotry that can go in any direction. There is also a reluctance amongst many opponents of Israel to even engage with the idea that anti-Israel (or even more so, anti-Zionist) discourse may, at times, utilise tropes that have an antisemitic history. There is also a large dose of hypocrisy: many of the people who misquote Golda Meir as saying that "there is no such thing as a Palestinian people" think nothing of denying Israeli national identity.
Still, for those opponents of Israel who do not want to consider the possibility that their attitudes may be polluted with antisemitism, they could instead consider whether they are susceptible to racist ideas or feelings about Israel and Israelis. (And note, the defence of knowing or supporting Israeli leftists is just a variant of the old 'some of my best friends are Jewish' line; it is the attitudes towards the rest, as an undifferentiated mass, that are at question). If it is possible to harbour racist views about French people, or Americans, or Nigerians, or, for that matter, Palestinians, then surely it is also possible to harbour racist views about Israelis. For the record, I am not suggesting that all opponents of Israel are guilty of racism, which would obviously be a meaningless generalisation. I am just discussing the principle.
And if it is possible to hold racist views about Israelis, then there is a follow-up question: what if these racist views about Israel and Israelis are similar, to a greater or lesser extent, to things that antisemites believe about Jews? Would this mean that, after all, anti-Israel racism is the same as antisemitism? or does anti-Israel racism exist separately from, but sometimes influenced by, antisemitism? And does it make a difference, morally or politically, which prejudice is in play? This is not mere sophistry. These are genuine questions about the nature and limits of contemporary antisemitism, and I am not sure of the answers.

The 2011 Hall of Fame class: Richard Dent, Marshall Faulk, Ed Sabol, Deion Sanders, Shannon Sharpe, Chris Hanburger and Les Richter.
The most interesting — and controversial — name on the list is probably Sabol's. That's because the founder of NFL Films never played a game of NFL football, and there's a faction of voters and pundits who feel that the Hall of Fame should be reserved only for former players. But Sabol changed football. No league is covered as awesomely as the NFL, thanks mainly to Sabol's operation. NFL Films helped expose the great sport to a baseball-obsessed country. Now, it's the most popular sport in America. Sabol deserved this. When his enshrinement was announced, the "crowd" had a very strong reaction.
Everyone knew Faulk and Sanders were going in on the first ballot, so there are no surprises there. Dent and Sharpe were a little more surprising.
Dent, who was one of the keys to the great Bears defences in the 1980s, had been eligible for enshrinement nine years before today. The two-time All-Pro and two-time Super Bowl champion had 137.5 career sacks.
Sharpe, who retired as the league's all-time yardage leader, won three Super Bowls in his 14-year career. There might have been a fear that he'd sort of get lost in the shuffle if he wasn't inducted now. A lot of great receivers continue to wait for enshrinement.
And that's what brings us to the rejects. Andre Reed was the best receiver on a team that went to four consecutive Super Bowls, but his numbers continue to get trumped by the wideouts of the generation that has followed his career. Tim Brown was the only player out of the Reed-Chris Carter-Brown receiving trio to win a Super Bowl ring, but neither Carter nor Brown made the first cut down to 10.
I'm particularly disappointed to see Carter getting a lack of love. Not only were Carter's numbers far and away better than his counterparts (his 130 touchdowns blow them out of the water) but he made an unbelievable number of clutch catches over the course of his career. Carter was quality over quantity.
Senior nominees Chris Hanburger and Les Richter both made the cut. It was the second year in a row in which both final senior nominees were inducted. You get the feeling that will become commonplace. Who wants to rob some old guy in such heart-breaking fashion?

What does everybody think about the new Glory Tomato |
Follow-Up Postings:
Grown it for 2 years now and while it is a fairly nice early hybrid tomato I doubt I'll grow it again. Small 4-6 oz. fruit but with good production on a 5-6' what I'd call a semi-determinate plant. Good disease tolerance and tolerates early planting under cover or protection very well since it was developed primarily for market gardening. Taste is okay, especially for an early variety. Not the greatest by any means but then few early varieties are noted for great taste. Not to be confused with Mountain Glory. Dave |

Despite the fact that this was from a Valve comic, I will say, they HAVE actually started giving out 555 numbers. For instance, one unlucky bastard has one of the 555 numbers shown in Back to the Future. I can't imagine how many calls they get, daily...

January 4
The host hotel now has rooms available for booking using the official link! This hotel will sell out, so don't delay if you want to stay at the host hotel. Rooms at the overflow hotel will be released once the host hotel has reached capacity.
Here is some additional info about the hotel room from The Frugal Travel Guy:
*Award Nights are not available nor are any other discounted rate. The only applicable rates are:
$79 per night plus tax includes one breakfast coupon
$89 per night plus tax includes two breakfast coupons
*Transportation is included in the room rate to/from O'Hare Airport as well as to/from our sister hotel, the Holiday Inn & Suites O'Hare
*Included in the Seminar Registration fee is lunch and coffee breaks
*Please note that the reservation must be guaranteed to a credit card and the first night is non refundable
I love to plan ahead, so I was excited yesterday when I learned the dates of the 2012 Chicago Seminars. For those who haven't been before, the Chicago Seminars are a weekend full of sessions primarily about earning and redeeming miles and points of all shapes and sizes. I went as an attendee last year, and you can read about my experience here. I have been asked to speak at this year's Seminar, so I will both be presenting at my session while attending a few others this time around. Rumor has it that there will be two tracks this year – a beginner track and a more advanced track. If this happens, it will be a good improvement to the seminars so that everyone can find something useful to them. Even if it doesn't, you can still pick and choose the sessions that best meet your needs.
The Chicago Seminars will be held October 12 – 14th at the Holiday Inn Elk Grove Village.
Last year the registration fee was $75 and covered your admission to the events as well as your lunch both days. I do not know if that is the same amount this year, but I doubt it is far off. This is not a money making endeavor, so I know the organizers (Frugal Travel Guy and The Points Guy this year) work very hard to keep the costs as low as possible. At $75 the admission to the conference is a heck of a steal. The Frugal Travel Guy has said that the hotel rates will be the same this year as they were last year. Last year the host hotel, Holiday Inn Elk Grove Village and the overflow hotel, the Holiday Inn Chicago O'Hare Rosemont , were both under $100. I believe the rates were around $80 per night. I do know that the host hotel sold out pretty quickly, so if it is important to you to stay at the host hotel don't delay once the official booking begins in the near future.
I have received several emails from people asking if it is worth it to attend. I can tell you that I made it a priority to attend last year – and at that time I was not a speaker, and I had barely even started blogging when I signed up. I was just going to learn. I think it was worth it, and I can almost guarantee that everyone who attends will learn something either in a presentation or from another attendee, but if you are already pretty well versed in earning and redeeming miles and points, don't expect to walk out of there with a magical code that will unlock all award seats or something like that. Do expect to add a few more earning and redeeming skills to your repertoire, meet great people, and have some awesome conversations about miles, points, and travel.
I will be presenting on the US Airways Grand Slam in the beginner track, so if that is a topic you are interested in I would love to have you join in that session. The timing is actually perfect since we will hopefully by smack in the middle of the Grand Slam at that time. If it isn't a topic you are interested in, there will be tons of other great sessions by The Points Guy, One Mile at a Time, View From the Wing, Frugal Travel Guy, and more. Some of the more popular sessions filled up in advance last year, so that is another reason to register as early as you can. That way you can make sure you get in the sessions that sound the more useful to you.
I'll post again when the registration process is officially open. Hope to see you in October in Chicago!
Also, if you went in a previous year, feel free to share your thoughts about the seminar so that those who are considering going this year can make a good decision about whether or not they want to attend.

I am very excited for this as I live about an hour West. This will be my first time attending.
I checked last night and the hotel had rates for $72. Why can't we book our rooms yet?
Thanks in advance!
As a beginner I'm a bit lost as to where the registration links might appear – will you be so kind to blog the website address when it opens? Thanks and I hope to make it!
I heard that the $75 cost goes to pay for the travel and accommodations of speakers and their friends… is that true?
I'd love for you to address "free" hits that require personal information. It has always seemed odd to me that many bloggers/posters explicitly quantify cash but not the time or distribution of valuable personal information.
Last year's Grand Slam posts were really helpful because I was just lurking along and seeing how much effort, selling of personal info, time, and good tips there were.
@reeder, I believe you are confused about the meaning or definition of the term 'personal information.'
I thought last year's seminar was great. If you learn one thing, it is well worth the time and money
As one of the organizers I'll respond to Jasons post. We gave each of the speakers a $350 travel allowance and paid for their room. NONE of their friends got anything. It also pays for your lunch for two days, coffee breaks, tax, tips, meeting rooms and I think we even got a drink coupon for everyone at the Halloween party in the fee if not mistaken.
Just to further clarify your comment, this is a 100% volunteer effort with any and all additional proceeds donated to charity.
I'd check your sources of information in the future for the facts
I think Jason was asking a question.
"I'd check your sources of information in the future for the facts"
geez, sorry for asking… in my defense that was what i was doing
Mommy Points- you do a great job. Its nice to read your perspective on travel. When will registration open for the October seminar, so I can be watching for it
@Sara – Hi! I double checked and yes, I think I'm using it correctly. Maybe my post wasn't clear? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Personally_identifiable_information
For example, sharebuilder registration states "You'll need these handy so you can speed through account sign-up
Your Social Security number
Employer's name and address (if employed)
Routing and account numbers for the bank you'll use as a source of funds". This is all perfectly logical to ask for given the financial transactions Sharebuilder makes.I consider my social security number to be personal information.
It isn't a big deal to pass on a hit that requires a social security number and it is my choice to do so, but in my opinion, sharing my social security number is not "free" as its privacy and security is of high value to me.
I really appreciate all the blog and the seminar being made available for such a great value. Just suggesting that when stating the price on Grand Slam posts/seminar i.e. 'Hit 5. Sharebuilder – "free"'[1] could be enhanced with something like "Signup requirements: e-mail, physical address, legal name, social security, employer info" during the seminar. Or a spreadsheet with this info as a bonus for the seminar attendees since MommyPoints provides so much great info to the blog readers already.
It amazes me that ppl think speakers should come at their own expense and still give 'free'ly of their time and expertise. I have learned so much at these "Dos" and am amazed at how freely the information from the speakers (they are truly experts) is given. They spend a lot of time creating their presentations and patiently answer questions. $75 for 2 days of info is nothing, it could easily cost a couple of hundred and would still draw a crowd.
I attended in 2010, but was on a cruise for the 2011 seminar. These dates are perfect for me, and I cannot wait to sign up!
[…] has been widely mentioned, but I have to add my 1.4 cents. As Mommypoints notes, the Frugal Travel Guy has announced the dates for the 2012 Chicago Seminar…. October […]
@Jay, glad you will be able to make it! As for the hotel, I don't know 100%, I just know that is what the organizers say to do. It might have something to do with us committing to fill a certain number of rooms and making sure we get credit for it, but that is just a guess. It may be totally unrelated.
@Martina, the registration links will be posted on Milepoint and Flyertalk, but they will also likely be talked about on many blogs (including this one), so just keep checking back and we'll make sure you don't miss it.
@Jason, looks like Rick weighed in below, but you are correct that some of the registration money goes towards getting speakers there. I had never heard the rumor about friends, but as Rick pointed out no love for friends of speakers. Ha ha.
@reeder, I'll keep that in mind. May be useful at least as a handout for sure. Thanks!
@Sara, I apologize for any and all typos I may be guilty of.
@Nickfromct, I completely agree!
@Rick, thanks for sharing the details of what the registration fee does and does not cover.
@Jim, hopefully we have gotten him an answer in the end.
@Jason, let me know if you have any other questions and I will do my best to get you an answer.
@jiml, I don't know the exact date, but I think it is pretty soon. I promise to post again as soon as I know it is live. Thanks for the nice comment.
@k2o, I agree that all of the speakers I have seen at these events put a lot into wanting to share quality information. While I would go again and even present if my expenses weren't covered, it certainly doesn't seem unreasonable to have a small travel allowance to bring the speakers in.
@MJ, can't wait to see you there!
How about starting your beginner's guide a bit early?
Should we be booking two different hotels for the two nights of the seminar so we can get two US Air Grand Slam hits out of it?
@reeder You're not giving out the personal info for nothing. Sharebuilder is a financial site. By the same token, you have to give your SSN to Chase (for example) to get a "free" credit card bonus.
@Jay Standard practice in conferences. Hotel wants everything handled under one umbrella for ease of handling and Rick/Brian get credit/are required to fill a certain number of beds. It rarely turns out to be a better deal to register on your own at a conference – and for this, you def. get your money's worth.
@Rick Yes on the drink coupons.
@Anita, love the question about hotels and the Grand Slam! We will have to see what the minimums are this year, but I will most likely be doing a bit of hotel hopping myself for the Grand Slam purposes! I would probably just book regularly for now and then adjust when the GS rules come out. For example, by last year's rules you would have had to have both nights at the Holiday Inn (since it was such a cheap rate) to earn enough points to count as a hit.
@Richard, thanks for sharing! I think I ended up with two drink coupons for Halloween.
I think Rick needs to take a chill pill.
I've hunted but cannot find….is there a link for registration dn details of the conference?
n -
[…] this week, there were announcements from The Frugal Travel Guy, The Points Guy, and Mommy Points, but here it is again in case you somehow missed all of those. The dates have been announced for […]
@mark….as usual, right?
At any conferences the speakers usually get paid or get a travel allowance. I've not heard of many conferences that have speakers just coming for no reason. Many of my professional conferences are over $200 for just one day, at around $75 for two days including some possible food or whatever, that is a steal.
When it is time to book, which hotel program would be best to use to get a few points for the stay?
The host hotel is now available for booking using this link! http://www.holidayinn.com/hotels/us/en/elk-grove-village/chieg/hoteldetail?groupCode=C12

Arizona Cardinals
Arizona Cardinals rookie Ryan Lindley takes a step forward
Arizona Cardinals rookie quarterback Ryan Lindley completed 14-of-21 passes for 104 yards and an interception Sunday against the Lions. He was sacked once and had a quarterback rating of 58.4.
But the most important number was the one on the scoreboard when the game clock reached 0:00, and that one read Arizona 38, Detroit 10.
The Cardinals ended their nine-game losing streak and Lindley, a sixth round pick out of San Diego State in April, earned his first NFL win.
"It feels good," Lindley said, noting how tough the last couple months have been for the team. "Just how it feels for us, getting off our back, the confidence we're going to have going into these last two games and going into the offseason is big.
"We wanted to pull this one out and be able to go in feeling good these last two weeks."
Of course, the Cardinals have to feel better about things if only due to the fact that their losing streak is over. However, Lindley still has yet to throw a touchdown pass, is completing just 51.1 percent of his passes and has thrown six interceptions. Add in that the team signed quarterback Brian Hoyer just last week, it would seem Lindley may not have a firm grasp on the starting job.
Cardinals coach Ken Whisenhunt said Lindley "played better" Sunday, pointing to a couple of throws the rookie made that left him impressed.
"You can definitely see improvement as far as how he mentally and physically went into that game and handled it," the coach said. "Now, we've got to see better as we continue to progress, that's the expectation. I want to see him make some more throws, have a little bit more production, and hopefully that will happen."
No one is declaring Lindley to be the team's quarterback of the future or anything, and while Sunday's game was not great, it was a step in the right direction. The 23-year-old said his comfort level is "a lot different" now from where it was when he made his NFL debut a few weeks ago in Atlanta, so one could surmise the should continually to gradually improve.
"I feel a lot better, the game's slowing down," he said. "The biggest thing, I think, is knowing how to take the game all the way through, how to ride it out.
"I think I learned a lot going through New York (a 7-6 loss) and what happened there, making the mistakes that I did."

Feb 19, 2014 8:53 AM by Associated Press
FRESNO, Calif. (AP) - The son of a former California Highway Patrol assistant chief has been sentenced to 35 years to life in state prison for raping a housekeeper at knifepoint in 2011.
The Fresno Bee reports prosecutors called for a longer term at the sentencing hearing Tuesday for 21-year-old Spencer Scarber. He could have faced up to 80 years.
Prosecutors said Scarber never showed remorse or took responsibility for his crime.
Scarber crossed the border into Mexico in December 2012 just days before he was convicted in absentia on rape, robbery and burglary charges.
His capture in Acapulco led to the arrest of his parents, Kyle and Gail Scarber, and sister, Crystal Reynoso, on charges of aiding his escape. Their trials are pending.
Kyle Scarber was an assistant chief with the CHP's Central Division.

Jail DOES reduce crime
Yes, we've been saying that, Ken
TOUGHER jail sentences DO cut crime, a study shows — despite claims to the contrary by soft Justice Secretary Ken Clarke.
A report for the Civitas think-tank said locking offenders up for longer was particularly effective in reducing burglaries and fraud. And it said lags should routinely serve two-thirds of their term — rather than half as now.

HEY !! I am SO sorry. I completely forgot . Here is the pic and the faucet is 11 1/4 " from the countertop when I extend the faucet out full length. It is exactly 18" from the bottom of the sink bowl. Is that what you wanted ? This is the 12" faucet...on my sunroom soapstone sink it is the 18" long faucet...meaning the whole thing ..I have the hinged faucets on both sinks. Let me know if you need more pics or more measurements...again I am so sorry. |
Thank you so much for doing this! I have the 18" that I was going to install for my fireclay farmsink that is in a 30 in counter run. Can you give me the height from the counter for where the faucet is attached to the wall (where the faucet handles are). |
- Posted by trailrunner (My Page) on Fri, Oct 26, 12 at 20:54
the center of the handle is at 9 1/2 ". I am referring to the round part on the outer side of the handle, not the large round on the wall. If that isn't right let me know...I will measure more ! c |

I've wondered, too. |
I got an email stating that if I was interested, I needed to email her. i did but have not heard anything back... |
I contacted her about the irises & daylilies for postage. Sent payment to cover postage, & we discussed the types I wanted. When my payment arrived, she let me know, and was quite enthusiastic about having help emptying a bed in order to plant other plants. :) Just yesterday, a medium flat-rate box arrived from her, full of irises. Many were named, even, although I had not requested or expected such! I am delighted by this trade, and would absolutely do another trade with her in the future. |
I sent twenty dollars for a large box. She was very nice. Yesterday I recieved a box that cost 6$ in postage of dayliles and iris. Nice looking plants. No note on who sent them. I emailed her but have heard nothing back... Perhaps she has more boxes coming to me? I sure would like to know~ |

Today I received a box that cost $ 9.65 in postage with 36 iris rhizomes. I mailed $20 cash. |

Kathy offered iris and daylilies for postage and requested $20.00 for postage, Received many ( about 50) very dry and mostly small rhizomes in a large box for $11.49 postage. Not up to the standards that I have come to expect from GArden Web members. I emailed that I was disappointed with the "trade" but got no reply. |

I've sent postage for daylilys/ iris from another member and got a small flat rate box 5.50 and sent 15. I think a few here do "postage for plants" I got back a very "snappy" :( responds i've been clear to ask what size box and how many and dry plants or ? I think if you're going to make a few bucks on the plants then send something nice in the box as an extra treat so we don't feel so burned..........lesson learned |
- Posted by gardenunusual 5a (My Page) on Sat, Jun 25, 11 at 13:05
Yes, mine were small and dry. Only about three regular size rhizomes. I planted mine out after soaking them with some water and epsom salts. I also used some bulb food. We shall see what happens next year. I have been blessed by many Garden Web members, and very grateful. There are many kind people on here. I do my very best to reciprocate, and hope that I wow others on the receiving end. On this post, she requested $20 from me, and sent me a roughly $10 box half full of little dry rhizomes. If they were labelled, I might feel a little better. All I got was a note saying there were more than 10 varieties in there. Do the math. If everyone sent $20 and received a box half full for $10, based on the many responses, she made some serious cash. Also, I always take into consideration the time it takes for people to pack things up. If the box was full of decent sized labelled rhizomes, I wouldn't feel scammed. |

I responded to kjean61`s offer of a large flat rate box of daylilies for postage of 20.00.I sent her the 20.00 via paypal and recieved my box of daylilies.Even tho the postage was high I am very pleased with my daylilies.I recieved 16 plants and most had 2 or more fans.They looked green and healthy. Robin |
Hrm. Ok, so I did get the irises, but did not get the daylilies. Not being aware of the cost of sending a box, I thought I'd paid for both. With that being the case, I paid a rather lot more than I should have for a single box. They were all in great shape, though! |

There are a few key rules that every fashion girl must learn early on in her career/life. One of the most important rules being when to splurge on something and when to save or hold out for a sale, or a "steal", as some like to call it. As I was perusing the net-a-porter website (as I often do) I stumbled upon a lovely little shoe by Jimmy Choo that looked strikingly similar to the Steve Madden pair that I recently purchased. Sure these two shoes have their differences; an obvious one would be the thickness of their heels and height of the platforms. But the biggest differences of all are the prices. I always say I only splurge on classics so this is why I purchased the pretty Steve Madden's for a cool $44.99 and I absolutely love them (to see how I styled these shoes with the cropped top trend check out this post).
What do you think? Is this style really timeless enough to pay the price?

Ride Report for Ride Captain Chuck Sineni
The Welcome Home event for Alex Kowalczyk was a great success. We had 6 bikes plenty of cages and what seemed like the entire Carol Stream Police & Fire Departments.
We met our hero at the Town Veteran Memorial Park with 40 flags waving proudly and a whole lot of cheering. With LEO leading and blocking we escorted our hero to his home where a celebration was waiting his arrival.
We had a beautiful backdrop of 3 Fire Engine Trucks park right in front of the house while we did our presentation and thanked him for protecting our freedom.

text: Just a random carb question as I'm still learning about carbs. Of course its a given that fruits are almost always healthy and you should eat them as much as possible. But I also know that fruits are pretty high carbs so I'm wondering if this will cause problems on a diet. I love eating lots of fruit as I just love the taste and I tend to eat more of it to make up for my lack of veggies. I guess I just want to know if this is a good or a bad thing? I eat fruit with every meal so its quite a bit. Lots of apples, bananas, and watermelon. Also, if it turns out fruit can have a negative impact. Are some fruits worse than others? Is there a good list anywhere perhaps?

I needed no additional proof that Jennifer Lawrence is the least affected, "actress-y" actress in Hollywood. But now that I've read her best friend Laura Simpson's firsthand account on MySpace (which is publishing articles now, apparently?) about being Jen's date to the Oscars on Sunday night, it's set in stone. Jen and Laura met seven years ago at an event and have been close ever since. If you don't know what Laura looks like (that's a picture of her and Jen above!), you definitely saw the back of her head when Jennifer Lawrence tripped on the red carpet and plunged downward. Jen grabbed Laura from behind to try and stop her from falling:

Hey Alexander
I agree with you... Although, I think the work involed to PInvoke this is more than the work to simply create a C++ application to deal with it.

I totally agree with you. But I do not know whether the author knows how to create program in C++.
I often meet people who know C#, but can not even understand the code in C++. It's very sad when you consider that these languages are similar in syntax.
If someone is going to PInvoke COleClientItem then he sure is going to need to know C++!!! :-)

Oh! I think that's where you're wrong. There are volunteers to help write the function signature for P/Invoke (and I am one of them).
I've got it working. Thought I post it here, if anyone is looking for something similar:

The medical, health and family welfare department has is now trying to find out if there are any other swine flu cases in the area. The department also gave Tamiflu tablets to the patient's relatives of who were in direct contact with the patient, a department official said.
The medical, health and family welfare department has advised people not to take cold, cough and fever lightly. These are some of the symptoms of swine flu as well.

Well, that's certainly one way of looking at it. But still, it's better to resell clothes than to send them to a landfill. I'm not opposed to what they are doing at all, though I will admit to being skeptical about the green spin they've placed on it. People have been reselling clothes for, like, forever. It's nothing new. The green aspect they promote is more like greenwashing. Still, I'd rather give my clothes away than put them in the trash.
Also, they're surely not all "rejects." For example, some of my clothes are just too small for me now, but not in bad shape.
Well, if it is stated up front I don't have much of a problem with it. Some non-profits actually run thrift stores where donated things are resold. But if they are pretending to be a charity but acutally are for-profit, that's something entirely different.
Besides, people can donate elsewhere if they don't want to go with a for-profit business. I use Freecycle all the time.

AW12 Trend
Let's all cosy up for the yarn of the season. The knit is big. It's big on trend. It's big on style. And it's quite literally big with both the chunky knit and the oversized knit making impossible-to-miss statements. When once upon a time the knit was a mere extra layer, now it's the outfit spectacle - the 'purl' in the crown if we may. Graphic, playful, textured, embellished, which knit personality will you pick?
