Skip to comments.The Non-Jewish Question (Why are socialists so anti-semitic? This book has the answer)
Posted on 05/26/2010 11:22:40 PM PDT by citizenredstater9271
The few serious contributions by socialist writers towards understanding Jews and Jewish history are normally entitled The Jewish Question (Abram Leon's book) or The Jewish Problem (Isaac Deutcher's essay on 'The Russian Revolution and the Jewish Problem'). Also, reactionary writings on this subject have similar titlesfor instance Marx's article and Sack's book on The Jewish Question. What is really at issue here is a non-Jewish problem. It is a non-Jewish problem every time a Jew on the Left comes out as Jewish and is immediately requestedwith grave suspicion by the person making the requestto give their position on ... zionism. No questions are ever asked, either on a personal or a political level, about other aspects of Jewish identity or Jewish culture, or anything that might conceivably be positive about being Jewish. Every single contemporary quotation referred to in this book originates either in articles by the Left on zionism, or alternatively in articles by the Left responding to criticism of anti-semitism by Jewish socialists.
Non-Jews have an independent responsibility to face up to the power of anti-semitism in all its aspectsincluding anti-semitism within the Left. It should not always be up to Jews to take the initiative. The tragedy is that much of the socialist tradition, far from being a liberating force, is actually part of the problem.
It is unfortunately true that many of the criticisms made in this pamphlet can be made of the Left in all its activitiesand not just in relation to Jews....
(Excerpt) Read more at engageonline.org.uk ...
Does it also require one to be anti-anarchist? Anarchist-socialists are also anti-semitic. Look at the article.
Cheers and God bless!
And yet Marx wasJewish... I don't think socialists hate/likeJewsanymore than anyone else.
Born Lev Davidovich Bronstein son of a prosperous Jewish farmer.
Funny how all of the revolutionaries are privileged children.
I didn't read this, but most Jews seem to be socialist, at least the ones I have run into. So it would be odd if socialists were anti-Semitical.
Offspring of prosperity are the ones with the leisure to plot revolution and the detachment from earning and production to miss reality altogether. They never understand the creation of wealth. They think it is always there in an unalterable quantity that by rights should be equally shared by all. Only a college educated intellectual can believe all the contradictions inherent in such views simultaneously.
I think a better question - taking in what you posted - would be: Why are so many Jews attracted to socialism when it is (supposedly?) anti-semitic?
Lenin and Stalin were baptized, those are YOUR people, don't pawn all of the commie scum on us.
Must be something in the Christian blood, eh? (sound ludicrous? so does most of the BS here).
You must be confused.
My only reference was to Trotsky.
I know that Stalin was a failed seminarian. (Sort of like Al Gore; Hmm might be something there)
No you're confused.
Someone mentioned marx as a JOO. Then they or someone else pointed out that his parents converted him out to some CHRISTIAN thing as a young child, so MARX can't be blamed as a JOO for marxism. (he HATED JEWS).
Then YOU came right back and blamed Trotsky for being a JOO (later murdered by communists).
I am not confused.
As fed up as I am with jinos who are jewish by birth accident and have zero-to-little affiliation with JUDAISM voting 'Rat., I am as FED UP AND BORED with ignorant Freepers constantly going
"i can't understand how these jews keep voting left I just çan't understand, i just cant' understand it, snicker, dumb jews, I just can't understand it."
Now if thats not you, then have a nice day.
The Socialist Roots of Antisemitism:
A different authors take on the same subject.
See if this makes more sense:
"But you cant believe whatever you want and be a
Catholic Jew.
There is this thing called
doctrine Torah and the Mitzvot (Commandments in English, the main 10, plus ANOTHER 593) which defines the beliefs of Catholics Jews. If you do not believe in these things you are free in this country to seek out others who believe as you do."
Just dont call yourselves
Catholic Jewish.
(And yes, our Rabbis say anyone born a Jew is still a Jew if he doesn't practice (up to a point), but for the sake of this discussion, thats like demanding that you still accept someone as a Catholic who believes in abortion just because they were baptized...) And further and finally, how you feel if EVERY DAY you came on Catholic FR threads and a hald dozen freepers daily bash the millions of Catholics who voted for Ø, and we cluck our tongues, "what kind of Catholics are these, they swung the important states for Ø, I just don't understand how any Catholic can vote 'Rat..."
Now if thats not you, then have a nice day.
Well I certainly understand your feelings and I hope you dont sour totally on FreeRepublic.
I can certainly sympathize with you as I am a Catholic. You might have noticed that there is an anti-Catholic cabal on FR. There is more than a few that turnouts for any thread in which a Catholic Priest is accused of molesting children.
There are also those here on FR that attack the Mormons at every turn even though there could not be a more conservative religious group in the US.
Religious bigotry is not endemic to FR it is simply a part of the human make up. It is something we must constantly be aware of in ourselves and fight against.
If I offended I apologize it was not my intent.
What doctrines, beliefs, define a Jew who lives his faith? I don't know of any other religion that has defined objectively what it takes to be inside and what it takes to be outside. Any teaching outside of the Catholic Church are just one persons opinion.
Revolutionary Vanguard is always made up of the middle class or elite. Vladimir Ilyich Ulyanov (Lenin) was a noble.
Then you should read it. "Jewish Socialists" are either antisemite or fools who have subsumed Judaism towards their own atheist immanentization of the eschaton known as socialism or, worse, communism.
Jewish socialists and Jewish anarchist-socialists don't even know their own ideology's history. I take it they get suckered into socialism b/c they like the charity aspect or the "help the underdog" idea. Next time you meet a Jewish socialist show him this article and ask if he'll still regard Marx as a god after reading it.
Only then could Judaism achieve universal dominance and make alienated man and alienated nature into alienable, vendible objects subjected to the slavery of egoistic need and to trading.
Selling [verausserung] is the practical aspect of alienation [Entausserung]. Just as man, as long as he is in the grip of religion, is able to objectify his essential nature only by turning it into something alien, something fantastic, so under the domination of egoistic need he can be active practically, and produce objects in practice, only by putting his products, and his activity, under the domination of an alien being, and bestowing the significance of an alien entity – money – on them.
In its perfected practice, Christian egoism of heavenly bliss is necessarily transformed into the corporal egoism of the Jew, heavenly need is turned into world need, subjectivism into self-interest. We explain the tenacity of the Jew not by his religion, but, on the contrary, by the human basis of his religion – practical need, egoism.
Since in civil society the real nature of the Jew has been universally realized and secularized, civil society could not convince the Jew of the unreality of his religious nature, which is indeed only the ideal aspect of practical need. Consequently, not only in the Pentateuch and the Talmud, but in present-day society we find the nature of the modern Jew, and not as an abstract nature but as one that is in the highest degree empirical, not merely as a narrowness of the Jew, but as the Jewish narrowness of society.
Once society has succeeded in abolishing the empirical essence of Judaism – huckstering and its preconditions – the Jew will have become impossible, because his consciousness no longer has an object, because the subjective basis of Judaism, practical need, has been humanized, and because the conflict between man's individual-sensuous existence and his species-existence has been abolished.
Also get them to read what the anarchist-socialists said about jews. That IMHO is worse.
Marx wasn't a Jew. Marx hated Jews and made no secret of it. Marx was an atheist.
Thanks for that article. I threw up after reading it. No wonder the leftists who worship Marx, Lenin, Trotski, Bakhunin and Proudhon copy there master's anti-semitism and tote "free "Palestine" and "death to Israel" any chance they get.
Karl Marx was raised a Lutheran. In all of Marx' voluminous writings, including personal letters, his comments on Jews and Judaism were the conventional anti-Semitism of the times. I know of no Marx insights into Judaism as religion, nor any hint of education in Judaism or any self-awareness of himself as one of Jewish ancestry.
I think about it all the time, every time I see socialism leading to envy and hatred of your fellow man, even among your own population group, but especially against anyone who is different.
Without private ownership, your fellow citizens (comrades) become potential competitors for all you have or will have, there is no incentive to improve anything or take care of anything.
"Does it also require one to be anti-anarchist? Anarchist-socialists are also anti-semitic. "
Yes, add "anti-anarchist."
"Look at the article."
I did. And I read this:
"There are Jewish socialist organisations which are trying to (re)create an unoppressive socialist tradition in this country. As Jews we hope we have particular experiences that can enrich this."
a/ there is no socialism without state sponsored oppression.
b/ They aren't Jews, they are jinos.
"Marx wasnt a Jew. Marx hated Jews and made no secret of it. Marx was an atheist."
I already agreed with that.
You wrote:
"Where exactly does it specify that one should be anti-communist?"
when what I said was:
"As far as this Jew is concerned, belief in the G-d of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob requires one to be anti-communist and anti-jihadist. "
To try and answer you, Torah law is one of the foundations of capitalism, and communism attempts to wipe out Judaism (and Christianity). Since one of Jewish life's dictum is TO LIVE AS A JEW, the simple answer is you have to fight/destroy he who is trying to destroy you in order to stay alive.
17 of course was to you.
And I thank you fort having better self-control than I exhibited.
I certainly do see now that Catholics and other Christians are bashed repeatedly here at FR and I was being too-thin-skinned.
Please accept my apologies if I offended you.
"If a Catholic does not go to frequent confession, and mass every Sunday, if he is divorced and remarried, if he uses contraceptives, if he does not believe just ONE dogma, he is a CINO. If he were to die suddenly, he would go to Hell. That tells you to what extent we can be certain they are not Catholic."
Well this is similar to what observant (i.e., at a minimum, those who keep kosher and hold by the Sabbath) Jews feel. We don't have a Pope, but we do tend to follow the instructions of our Rabbi(s) and somewhat be bound by the formal and informal support vs censor of our communities.
There are some "over-riding" precepts for cutting people quite a bit of slack. "compassion" and "giving the benefit of the doubt" is virtually a commandment. i.e., if you accidentally buy a ham and cheese sandwich and bring it into your synagogue, you will cause a stink. If you REPEATEDLY do it you would likely be banned and thrown out of the synagogue.
"What doctrines, beliefs, define a Jew who lives his faith? I don't know of any other religion that has defined objectively what it takes to be inside and what it takes to be outside. Any teaching outside of the Catholic Church are just one persons opinion."
Commitment to the 613 "Mitzvot" (i.e., commandments, many of which don't apply until the Temple is rebuilt, G-d willing) and, "Ani Ma'amin" / "I believe ["The 13 Foundations of Judaism"].
Here is one translation:
As much as I and others here rail against "jinos" please understand that the "community" accepts someone as a Jew as long as their mother was Jewish (or he or the mother converted according to Jewish Law) until they have consistently and repeatedly gone against the Law and the community.
The "consistently and repeatedly" is what is often debated.
PS _ I am NOT a Rabbi nor have I had as much instruction from any that I should have...
CC RMLEW (and for good reason ( : >)
I dug up some considerable quotes from socialists concerning Jews. There's probably hundreds more.
"Let us not seek the secret of the Jew in his religion, but let us seek the secret of the religion in the real Jew. What is the profane basis of Judaism? Practical need, self-interest. What is the worldly cult of the Jew? Huckstering. What is his worldly god? Money. Very well: then in emancipating itself from huckstering and money, and thus from real and practical Judaism, our age would emancipate itself. An organization of society which would abolish the preconditions and thus the very possibility of huckstering, would make the Jew impossible. His religious consciousness would evaporate like some insipid vapour in the real, life-giving air of society . . .We discern in Judaism, therefore, a universal antisocial element of the present time, whose historical development, zealously aided in its harmful aspects by the Jews, has now attained its culminating point, a point at which it must necessarily begin to disintegrate. In the final analysis, the emancipation of the Jews is the emancipation of mankind from Judaism." Marx
Show that to the 80% of Jews who voted for Obamarx.
"There the great universally progressive features of Jewish culture have made themselves clearly felt: its internationalism, its responsiveness of the advanced movements of our times (the percentage of Jews in democratic and proletarian movements is everywhere higher than the percentage of Jews in the general population.)...Those Jewish Marxists who join up in the international Marxist organizations with the Russian, Lithuanian, Ukrainian and other workers, adding their might (both in Russian and in Jewish) to the creation of an international culture of the working class movement, are continuing the best traditions of Jewry." Lenin
"Marx is a Jew and is surrounded by a crowd of little, more or less intelligent, scheming, agile, speculating Jews, just as Jews are everywhere, commercial and banking agents, writers, politicians, correspondents for newspapers of all shades; in short, literary brokers, just as they are financial brokers, with one foot in the bank and the other in the socialist movement, and their arses sitting upon the German press. They have grabbed hold of all newspapers, and you can imagine what a nauseating literature is the outcome of it. Now this entire Jewish world, which constitutes an exploiting sect, a people of leeches, a voracious parasite, Marx feels an instinctive inclination and a great respect for the Rothschilds. This may seem strange. What could there be in common between communism and high finance? Ho ho! The communism of Marx seeks a strong state centralization, and where this exists there must inevitably exist a state central bank, and where this exists, there the parasitic Jewish nation, which speculates upon the labor of the people, will always find the means for its existence...In reality, this would be for the proletariat a barrack regime, under which the workingmen and the working closely and intimately connected with one another, regarless not only of frontiers but of political differences as well - this Jewish world is today largely at the disposal of Marx or Rothschil. I am sure that, on the one hand, the Rothschilds appreciate the merits of Marx, and that on the other hand, women, converted into a uniform mass, would rise, fall asleep, work and live at the beat of the drum; the privilege of ruling would be in the hands of the skilled and the learned, with a wide scope left for profitable crooked deals carried on by the Jews, who would be attracted by the enormous extension of the international speculations of the national banks..." Bakhunin
Bakhunin hated Marx b/c Marx was Jewish just like Marx hated other Jews.
"This race [Jews] poisons everything by meddling everywhere without ever joining itself to another people. Demand their expulsion from France, with the exception of individuals married to Frenchwomen. Abolish the synagogues; do not admit them to any kind of employment, pursue finally the abolition of this cult... The Jew is the enemy of the human race. One must send this race back to Asia or exterminate it... By fire or fusion or by expulsion, the Jew must disappear... What the peoples of the middle ages hated by instinct I hate upon reflection and irrevocably." Proudhon
Proudhon called for Jewish genocide 90 years before Hitler. This is the same person who said private property is theft. I have to ask if his and every other socialist's views on Jews came out of his anti-capitalism.
Show liberal and socialist Jews these quotes. They don't even know the history of their own ideology or the people who created it.
A whole book? Only one word is needed: envy. It's the same reason socialists and communists are anti-rich and anti-successful.
Many Jews become leftists for the purpose of envy deflection, mainly in cases when they are outnumbered. Jews don't fear getting looted and killed by the right, but by the left, so they join the left as an appeasement strategy.
Invoking shame is the best way to counter envy, not appeasement. Publicly accusing someone of being antisemitic is an example of invoking shame. Jews and other targets of envy should expand these techniques to attack envy head-on in all its forms. Carrying on like a hurt self-contemplative victim only eggs them on.
The idea is leftist and socialist Jews have no idea that their ideology was crafted by antisemites like Marx and Proudhon.
I think I'm not alone when I say it's no surprise why leftists chant "Death to Israel" and support Arab terrorists who want to destroy the Jewish State.
Leftists, both foreign and domestic, want to destroy America too, and they're going to succeed. Leftists envy and want to destroy many things, not just Israel and Jews. It doesn't work to fight a forest fire of envy by spraying water on just Jewish trees.
So was Marx
If youd like to be on or off, please FR mail me.
From what I know the Torah emphasizes hard work, personal responsibility and private property so it's clear why anti-capitalist socialists and anarchists would hate those who follow the Torah (Jews). Your guess is as good as mine.
"Please explain to me why Torah law is one of the foundations of capitalism? I ask because I do not know and any information you can give me would be valued"
Read the Torah.
Yehuda, what other reasons would you give for why socialists (esp. socialism's philosophers) would hate Jews and Judaism so much? I'm not too familiar with the Torah or Talmud but I know if all the early socialists and today's socialists and leftists hate Jews the way they do there must be a reason. What do you think?
I've read the Torah and see no place where it is one of the foundations of capitalism. On the contrary, it condemns usury, without specifying what exactly that constitutes.
I am not a rabbi. This is the best I can do for you:
So now that the whole world is up in arms about Israel defending itself from the Hamas-al-qaeda terror flotilla all the leftists and socialists are out bashing Israel again. But looking at their history what reason would anyone have to think differently?

Superintendent Garcia's Benefits
POSTED: Thursday, April 21, 2011 - 5:55pm
UPDATED: Friday, April 22, 2011 - 9:23pm
In a gloomy economy, the El Paso School District is being forced to make tough decisions on cutting jobs and school programs.
With millions of dollars at risk of being lost, every last cent counts.
Some in the Legislature and pubic are questioning the salaries and benefits of school district administrators.
According to figures reported by the Texas Tribune, a non-profit government watch dog, EPISD Superintendent Lorenzo Garcia is receiving benefits that you might view as excessive.
Since 2007, Dr. Garcia has received $2,000 a month for in-district travel.
Dr. Garcia receives the highest monthly communications allowance of the top ten largest districts in Texas.
That's $1,000 per month to help pay for his cell phone, home internet and other communications related expenses.
He has a $1 million life insurance policy, and the district pays the premiums.
He's the only Texas top ten superintendent with a perk like that.
On top of everything, he gets an $18,000 bonus for reaching one or more of the board's goals, based on student TAKS test performance.
We spoke with some members of EPISD's board today. Trustee Alfredo Borrego says the superintendent's perks may wind up on the chopping block.
"We've got to make budget cuts on the superintendent's contract and cut back on discretionary funds," Borrego said.
Other trustees are noncommittal.
"The district needs to closely review all expenses of district to ensure that maximum funding is provided towards direct instruction of the students in the district," Isela Castañon-Williams said.
So what does Superintendent Garcia have to say about all this?
We don't know.
We asked for his response starting at 10 a.m. and have yet to hear back.
NewsChannel 9 will continue to follow this story and keep you posted.
Comments News Comments
Garcia and the EPISD should be ashamed! This is total abuse of taxpayer dollars. How dare they line this man's pockets when the economy is in the sorry state it's in and everyone is in fear of losing their jobs and struggling to keep a roof over their heads. And what does Garcia do to deserve these perks and bonuses besides sit pretty behind his desk and threaten teachers to make their students pass the TAKS or face dismissal. SHAME ON YOU, GARCIA & EPISD!
It is about time someone addressed the excessive perks and salaries of these superindendents. I agree 110% with the statement that the money needs to be focused on the direct instruction of the students. Are these superintendents in the trenches everyday with the kids? NO, they make P.R. visits for the camera while the teachers are struggling through the tough vocabulary and confusing math formulas. Instead of cutting these excessive salaries we cut teacher jobs and load up the remaining classes
It's not surprising! The education arena has always focused on themselves first and students third or fourth after all their family and friends that are on the districts payroll.Now is a perfect opportunity for all those high paid district administrators to show their solidarity towards their fellow district employees that are on the chopping block and take a cut in pay!Wishful thinking on my part!
I applaud Mr. Borrego having the courage to say that Dr. Garcia's perks should be considered when making cuts; especially the merit pay for reaching one or more of the board's goals based on TAKS test performance. Classroom teachers don't get merit pay for TAKS test scores, nor would most of them expect it for doing their jobs.

please help!!! baby duck!
We found a baby duck today! It's eyes are covered (unopened) and it doesn't have feathers.... I've been feeding it crushed cherioes mixed with water (paste-like) PLEASE help??? Never had a duck... it fell out of the nest. When do I feed it.... how much.... etc... what do I feed it....
Your duck doesn't sound like he/she is doing very well. He/she should be fully feathered and eyes open. Wonder if mama rejected it because she sensed something was wrong.
If you wish to try, you must provide heat of some sort. A light bulb placed high enough to provide some heat yet far enough away so he/she can get away if it's too hot. I *think* the temps should be somewhere near 80 degrees, then slowly decrease it. I fear the featherless baby will get sun-burned (bulb-burned). Can you tell, is the body showing signs of looking like the egg sack shape? Hard to expain what I mean. This is what feeds them for the first few days of life, and disappears quickly. It will give you an indication of it's age. Also make absolutely sure your set-up cannot fall or start a fire!
Water-place a re-sealable iced tea container plastic cover near the duckling(shallow so it won't drown). Gently bob his/her beak into the water, couple times he/she should catch on that water is to drink. Keep the duckling dry.
Food should be a wild bird mash, if not get a poultry grower mash. Cheerios are fine for tonight but tomorrow you should start her on proper food. A whole bag will last you a very long time. Again, gently bob the head into the mash-you should get a response if the duckling isn't too weak.
Good luck to you, though don't be surprised if you lose him/her. He/She doesn't sound very healthy.
He/she seemed kinda strong... my dad thinks it's 2 weeks old... it's skin is thin... I can see veins... We have the bird in a butter dish with paper towels as nesting in a shop that is a bit above 80 degrees... it's making a faint cry but if it knows I'm around it'll stand up and act like it needs feeding. what do I do with it tonight? Can I leave it alone?
It's probably looking for either food or mama to snuggle with. Place a small cardboard box (cut a cereal box slightly larger than the duck) so help provide some comfort/cave-like area. Offer an old soft dishrag for him/her so sleep on, but nothing he/she can get tangled in. Paper towels are good but will get messy quickly, and when he/she gets better he/she will nibble on it. He/she would probably appreciate being cuddled in your palm.
As far as a feeding schedule-provide food & water at all times, if he/she is strong enough they will eat. If not you may have to feed him/her. Just small amounts.
2 weeks old and no feathers....I'm at a loss. Don't know what to think. Maybe one of the resident bird experts can offer further help.
You probably have no choice but to leave it alone tonight, unless you plan on sleeping with it in your bedroom? It will be lonly & looking for mama, possibly jumping out a the container. You will have to secure it from predators-even rats can eat the baby so be aware & provide shelter appropriately.
Again Good luck to both of you!
I don't know of any wildlife hospitals. My dad just told me to take care of it... please, I don't want to overfeed it, I don't want it to die, I promise you, but I really don't have the resources right now. Can I let it spend the night alone? I've read that vets don't help. What can I do until I *can* get help?? I'm 17 and have never done this before... Please, how often do I feed it... and about over night.
I've put the baby to bed. I gave it some water with a syringe-- it didn't really react to the shallow dish of water. When it hears me coming, it really perks up and reaches around for food. What are the chances that this is a different type of bird? My dad and grandad were sure it was a wood duck, though. I have placed a hot water bottle (covered in rag) near it's butter dish/nest. It won't get cooler than 80 there tonight. Currently 83. I can't be sure, but I thought I saw it's eyes open. Thanks for your help, I'll post in the morning.
I am so GLAD for you!!!!! And woody!!!
I was in Lowes and a peep was discovered Everyone there thought it was a duck . I raise ducks but also have a resident Cormorant so I knew that is what it was. A Cormorant,they quickly called The Wildlife place to take care of it.
Now you cab breathe a sigh of relief because you DID take care of it properly!
this morning my husband and i found 5 baby duck on our porch we looked for mama duck and she was no where to be seen we left them alone thinking she would come and she never did that was at 8 this morning and it now 2:00 pm i called the wild life people they said to just let them go but around my place where people have a lot of dogs and there are outside cats and I'm afraid that they will get killed so i have taken them in there are five babes about 6-8 weeks old they have some feather i have given them water and they have gone for a swim and i was told i could give them a little oatmeal that is watered down so it east for them to eat it warm out so they are outside in a cooler with paper towels they look like mallard ducks. I have a feeds store right by me but what do i get them to eat ? thank you for any and all help

Muppet Mania – Carrie Underworm And Other Country Muppets
The Muppets are back with a new movie, Muppets Most Wanted!
The Muppets are back with a new movie, Muppets Most Wanted!
Carrie Underwood and Taylor Swift got to see what they'd look like as cartoons on Sunday night's (March 16) episode of 'Family Guy.'
It's safe to say Carrie Underwood had one heck of a weekend! From meeting Norman Reedus of 'The Walking Dead' at Mardi Gras in New Orleans to enjoying the festive parades and parties, the superstarlet enjoyed it all.
Once upon a time, way back in 2005, Carrie Underwood was an up-and-coming female country artist, fresh off her win on 'American Idol.' Now an established name in country music (with the Grammys to prove it), the singer dishes on her favorite up-and-coming country gals.
During his HBO program on Friday, Lefty Bill Maher said, "Now that liberals have forwarded their agenda by inserting a mass gay wedding into the Grammys, conservatives must match them tit-for-tat by having a mass shooting at the Country Music Awards
Carrie Underwood's success in country music isn't the typical story these days. The boys are ruling the charts, leaving the ladies to struggle to get to the top, despite their tenacious efforts. The superstar admits that it's tough for women in country to be heard, and fellow star Kellie Pickler agrees.
Almay is getting a country makeover! Superstar Carrie Underwood has been announced as the makeup brand's Global Brand Ambassador, meaning she will be the face and voice of all Almay products.
Carrie Underwood, Eric Church and many others will be grabbing their ten-gallon hats and heading to Austin, Texas for the just-announced first-ever iHeartRadio Country Festival this spring.
Carrie Underwood's 'The Sound of Music Live!' was impressive in ratings, with 18.5 million viewers tuning in to catch the live theatrical broadcast last week. The show also caught the eye of 'Saturday Night Live,' which then spoofed it in a pretty hilarious reenactment, which included the return of one of the show's most beloved characters.
Carrie Underwood took on a massive project with 'The Sound of Music Live!' which aired Thursday night (Dec. 5), and the songstress admits she couldn't be more proud of how the debut turned out.
NBC's live theatrical broadcast of 'The Sound of Music' was not without mistakes common in live theater, but one would need to be a student of Broadway to have caught them. Carrie Underwood and a cast of theater and television actors stayed true to the spirit of the musical, making seamless adjustments for Thursday night's (Dec. 5) adaptation.
On 'Late Night With Jimmy Fallon,' couch guest, actress Rashida Jones, and host Jimmy Fallon decided to celebrate Thanksgiving, the beginning of Hanukkah and Black Friday by taking popular hits and turning them into holiday parodies (Nov. 28). Country superstar Carrie Underwood, who is in New York for the home stretch of preparation for her turn as Maria in the production of 'The Sound of Music Live!' on Dec. 5, got in on the holiday fun with the duo.

DEFINITION of 'Monthly Treasury Average Index - MTA Index'
The 12-month moving average of the one-year constant maturity treasury (CMT) used as an index for adjustable rate mortgages. The index is calculated by adding the 12 most recent monthly CMT values and dividing by 12. Since the MTA index is a moving average it has a lag effect. In other words, when the 12 monthly CMT values used to calculate the average are sequentially increasing, the current MTA value will not be as high as the current CMT value, and visa versa when the CMT values are sequentially falling.
INVESTOPEDIA EXPLAINS 'Monthly Treasury Average Index - MTA Index'
Some mortgages, such as payment option arms, offer the borrower a choice of indexes. This choice should be made with some analysis. The interest rate on an adjustable rate mortgage is known as the fully indexed interest rate - it equals the index value plus the margin. While the index is variable, the margin is fixed for the life of the mortgage. Different indexes have relative values which historically are quite constant within a certain range. For example, the MTA index is typically lower than the one month LIBOR index by about .1% to .5%. When considering which index is most economical, don't forget about the margin. The lower an index relative to another index, the higher the margin is likely to be.

Heat and Droughts may have a benefit after all.
I guess I am reevaluating my South Central Texas weather after seeing post after post about fighting too much water. I use my big celadines (24 gal pots) around the yard to help shield other "full sun" plants that can't hack it. They have been in constant bloom since early May with masses of flowers and big green leaves.
They are great. Never had bug problems, nothing eats them, perfumes the whole yard, the more sun the better. Just starting to ponder when big becomes too big.
I'm In San Antonio. Winters are generally dry and mild. Spring and fall have more storms. We get a few cold snaps but have ample warning to prepare.
I just dont trust the crummy clay soil we have here to plant in the ground. I will make room in our next home for a raised bed with my own sandy soil mix for in ground planting.

Best Local Boy Gone Bad (2009)
Alex Rodriguez
"As you know, it's been a really quiet week for me, so it's nice to get out on a Friday night." Thus began Alex Rodriguez's awkward attempt at a joke to make light of the fact that Sports Illustrated had broken the news about his use of performance-enhancing drugs just days earlier. A-Rod made the comment on the night he was honored by the University of Miami at the unveiling of the Alex Rodriguez Park in Coral Gables. Even before the report broke, Rodriquez had not been well liked outside of Miami. To us, he was the local kid from Westminster Christian High who grew up to become baseball's greatest player. To everyone else, he was the narcissistic Yankee who worried a little bit too much about his image.
Still, even throughout Major League Baseball's BALCO steroid scandal, where it was revealed that many players were juiced up, and throughout Congress's attempt at ousting the perpetrators, A-Rod was seen as the one clean guy — a natural, a player blessed with God-given abilities with no need for steroids or HGH. He even told Katie Couric on 60 Minutes point blank that he had never taken performance-enhancing drugs. And we believed him. Sure Jose Canseco wrote that A-Rod was dirty in one of his books. But Canseco had long been a local pariah, so we ignored him. A-Rod, on the other hand, was a local golden boy. Not anymore. That's right. The craziest part about this whole scandal: Jose Canseco was right!

Presented in partnership with Darlinghurst Theatre Company, This House Is Mine will take place from 12 to 22 March 2015. book tickets today at www.darlinghursttheatre.com or call 02 8356 9987
Milk Crate Theatre works with an Ensemble of artists who have experienced homelessness or social marginalisation to create theatre that creates change. We provide a safe, creative space for the Ensemble to build confidence and make positive changes in their lives.
Our work embodies the experiences and artistry of the Ensemble to showcase their uniqueness as contemporary storytellers and to create authentic and transformative theatre that challenges audiences and brings communities together. These stories are brutal yet beautiful, savage yet seductive, tenacious yet tender but most of all they are real: born from the experiences of those who create it.
We believe that by bringing communities together and sharing the real stories of people who have experienced homelessness or social marginalisation, we can inspire action and work towards an inclusive future where everyone feels valued.

50 Must-Read IT Blogs 2014
Finding a good business technology blog isn't easy, so we've scoured the web and found 50 for you.
If your company is considering allowing employees to bring their own devices to work, make sure you have a game plan in place.
BYOD has freed up many enterprises from the responsibility of exclusively purchasing and maintaining computing devices, such as notebooks, tablets and smartphones, but companies still need to have policies set in place to make things work.
BizTech magazine has put together an infographic that highlights six core questions every company should consider before moving forward with BYOD:
For each of these questions, we've outlined a good answer, which we'd advise you to follow; a bad answer, which probably isn't the best way to handle things; and an ugly answer, which should be avoided at all costs. Hopefully, this will help your company remain on the pleasant side of this growing workplace trend.
Check out the full infographic below.

Tamil Nadu has started a new project this year to screen and treat people for hypertension. It started with a pilot project in Sivaganga and Virudhunagar districts during 2007-2010. About 11,31,000 people were screened in 98 healthcare facilities during the pilot project.
The Tamil Nadu Health Systems Project (TNHSP) has scaled up the pilot project in 16 districts. "This year, we have been implementing Phase I of the programme to screen and treat people with hypertension in 16 districts," said Dr. Jerard M. Selvam, Deputy Director of TNHSP, Chennai. "Preparatory activities, including training, are underway in the remaining 16 Phase II districts."
"Positively, by March-April 2013, the remaining 16 Phase II districts will also be implementing the project," he stressed. With that the entire State will be covered. According to him, in the third quarter alone (July to September 2012), 8,57,616 people who came to healthcare facilities (in the 16 districts) for other ailments were screened. Of these, 60,517 were found to have hypertension. The percentage of people testing positive for hypertension was 7.06 per cent.

So how are you going to explain fighting the klingons, and then turning around saying oh we are at peace with them. As a star trek fan i would like to see the Alliance renewed, but as far this being a mmo, it is really too late for that. Too much is tied into this war between the Klingons and the Federation
Well, there are two easy solutions for that...
PvP on the Fed side against Klingon players is actually a sideshow compared to the Faction on Faction PvP "Wargames" the Feds play with each other. There are even Fed players who absolutely refuse to PvP against Klingons...but have no problem with inter-Faction Wargames. If the merge does indeed happen...then I think that PvP will transition into more of those "Wargames" when it comes to Klingons...which would mean that both competing teams on a PvP map could end up being a mix of Fed and Klingon vessels. With the episodes, all Cryptic has to do to keep the integrity of the storyline is to describe those Klingons the Feds are fighting in PvE as "rebel houses" that the KDF can't fully control......
If there is such a merger...and if there is a rebel faction....count me in it. The Marquis never did know how to do things right...

We know we're bordering on oversaturation here, but we wouldn't feel right knowing you're going about Diabetes Day having not seen Borat's appearance on The Late Show with David Letterman last night. Here's a highlights reel, including a h.i.l.a.r.i.o.u.s. clip from the movie coming out THIS FRIDAY!
LAST MINUTE HALLOWEEN COSTUMES! CNN Edish
Stuck at work without a costume? Need something quick and easy for that Halloween party tonight? Here are a couple of last minute ideas that can easily incorporate your business attire, dressing up as versions of your favorite CNN anchors.
- Comb baby powder through your hair, staple discount vouchers from the Sunday paper all over yourself, perfect your steely gaze, and go as Anderson Coupon.
- Steal some tin foil from the communal kitchen, fashion them into antlers, comb that beard, and magically transform into Wolf Blitzen.
- Unscrew a toilet seat from a stall, put it around your head, and poof! Loo Dobbs.
- What's black and white and business-suited all over? Jeanne Moos.
- Fro that hair up, adopt an unplaceable accent, tighten up that hobo's bindle, paint on a frown, and impress your friends when you reveal that you're Christiane Aman-Poor. (We feel your booing and we're hurt.)
Any other ideas?
PROPPED: Who Creeps You Out?
Nsgladstone dropped this list of creepy celebrities courtesy of the folks at AOL. While we agree with a couple of them (come on, who's not a little creeped out by Jeff Goldblum?) we take issue with their inclusion of Dakota Fanning. So what if she's a 12-year-old girl who talks like an 45-year-old woman and has the same blank stare as a recovering heroin addict waist deep in methodone? That's TOTALLY normal. Everybody's a little bit quirky when they're that age. Right?
Head over to AOL Comedy to check out their list and nominate people who think you should be included. I've already nominated Blagg. That dude creeps the hell out of me.
Got something you want us to see? Drop it now!
SIZZLER: Reese/Ryan Homewrecker Identified
Bastion of Truth© The National Enquirer is pointing a golden finger of distrust at the woman they claim broke up Reese Witherspoon and Ryan Phillipe: 24-year-old Australian actress Abbie Cornish (as in "Game Hen" and "Promiscuous Hussy".) Cornish and Phillipe (guilt-ridden faces seen left) just wrapped up the movie Stop Loss together, and were seen "making out" in an Austin, TX restaurant on the last day of filming. The ess hit the eff when Reese discovered secret messages of filth on her husband's Blackberry the night of the Flags of Our Fathers premiere. Now, bastard-face himself is no longer welcome in the home he shared with his wife.
Here's what we wonder: Seeing as Reese is currently Hollywood's highest paid actress ($29 million for her next film!), will Ryan get half?
COMIC RELIEF: Beating a Dead Hobbit
We know the Jared Leto vs. Elijah Wood story is past its expiration date (due in no small part to our own relentless shock and awe campaign against Catalano), but we simply couldn't resist the temptation to have some fun with these exclusive photos of the incident, which we found via our good friend Brooklyn Vegan. Enjoy!
Costume Ideas: Dress
For Success Like A Mess
Metadish has a few last minute Halloween costumes for you ladies out there who still can't decide what to dress up as tonight. Just be warned: if you follow any of their suggestions you're going to need immediate access to a bunch of cocaine, cartons of cigarettes and a really bad plastic surgeon.
Oh, and you might as well book your rehab stint now. You know, to save some time.
Check out Metadish's last minute costumes here.
HAPPY HALLOMEME: Bollywood Thriller!
Things we never realized the original Thriller video was missing: Bhangra dancing, shiny red patent leather, a gaggle of Indians, and overzealous pelvic thrusting. So for our next Halloween inspired clip-o-lantern, we would like to reintroduce you to a clip we posted a little while back, Indian Thriller.
God Only Knows If The Beach Boys Are Connected To Weezer
Rolling Stone's Rock & Roll Daily directed us over to this incredibly geeky-slash-pretty funny list that definitively proves once and for all that The Beach Boys are cosmically connected to emo forefathers Weezer. In fact, the proof is so evident it's impossible to argue against it. Just look:
- Both bands have used falsetto singing effectively (Brian Wilson, Carl Wilson, Matt Sharp, Rivers Cuomo.)
- Both bands are from Los Angeles county, California (sort of).
- Weezer's lineup includes a Brian Bell and a Patrick Wilson.
- Both bands have had bassists that have been diagnosed with mental problems.
- Both band names are two syllables.
I'm sold. Now if only somebody can do me the favor of connecting My Chemical Romance with The Rolling Stones. I'll start: MCR's new album is titled The Black Parade- the Stones wrote a song called "Paint It Black". Freeeakkkyyy. Are there any other groups you could think of that are cosmically connected? Leave them in the comments.
CELEBRITY TRANSLATOR: K-Fed on K-Fed
When we cracked open today's New York Post, we were more than a little surprised to discover Kevin Spears-Federline standing there in a dapper suit and presenting us with big golden egg of shortbus hilarity. In the sense that he penned an article entitled "I Didn't Realize How Much People Love to Hate Me" (no, seriously, that's the title). The jokes spring forth from nearly every line, and yet, we had to read between the lines. What follows are highlights from K-Fed's self-analysis, along with our helpful Celebrity Translator to help you understand the more difficult parts. The article continues after the jump.
You know, I'm a guy that's out to have a good time.
I hate my wife.
My record, "Playing With Fire†was just to get people to understand a little bit more about who I am. There's no real, like, message.
My album is all about me and also simultaneously all about nothing. It's simple math, folks.
I put so much hard work into this album. I went off and did this album by myself. Completely.
Let that pregnant beyotch carry her own bags! I'm an artist! Whooo… liiiiikes… tooooo… bangstrippersandinseminatewomen.
K-Fed's Playing With Ice
If goblins, ghouls and the threat of undead spirits rising from the grave and eating your insides doesn't terrify you this Halloween, maybe this will: K-Fed's Playing With Fire drops today. Cue high-pitched scream.
But October 31st is more than just the anniversary of a Pagan festival– it also happens to be the birth date of one of America's most beloved entertainers: Mr. Vanilla Ice. Is it a coincidence that the most mocked white rapper of the 21st century is releasing his album on the same day his predecessor was born? We don't think so. The two men will forever be linked together, which leads us to believe that someday their paths will cross and they'll form the ultimate embarrassing white-rapping duo.
Now that's a scary Halloween thought.

What is the best way to play against the Stonewall Attack?
I am assuming the Stonewall Attack is from White. I would think the best way would be to set up a financhetto on the kingside for Black. That should blunt White's attacking Bishop on d3. Other methods may be to successfully occupy the square on e4, also trading Bishops on f5 may work even if the f-pawns are doubled.
I know from experience that this attack can often be successful against unprepared players.
I think GM? Sam Shankland had a video about offbeat queen pawn openings and he covered the Stonewall Attack.

Barstool and Body Shop question for you...
I have posted in the furniture forum as well, but let me run this question past those of you who know something about auto body shops....
I need to take apart 2 barstools made of metal, but not sure what kind of metal (iron, steel, etc). The column stem and arms are of hollow metal, in a grainy (like teeny sand)whitish finish. I assume this is spray paint or what they call powder coated ( I don't know what exactly that means).
I will remove the upholstered seat cushions and seat backs and recover them.
The upholsterer guy suggested two things to me...either I rough the metal up a bit with 400 grade sandpaper, then spray paint them myself, but even better he said I should bring the frames to a body shop for a more professional job.
Do body shops take on jobs such as this? Would they think I was a nut to call up and ask them if they would paint a couple barstools for me? Any body shop people out there who would know if that is a good idea?
Ideas, suggestions appreciated.
Some of the smaller ones do (do not even call the big chain type outfits) they have a spray booth and spray equipment that will give you a great smooth finish however the cost will be high unless you do all the prep work yourself and if not prepped correctly the super smooth finish will show every flaw in you prep work. I would probably invest in some new ones or just grab a can of spray paint from the hardware and go at it myself. If you really want a super dursble finish and have lots of spare cash check into the powdercoating process lots of motorcycle shops that do painting work have the perfect setup for small parts like barstools etc.

Not sure if you meant to combine these two thoughts. The TSC and condition have no relationship to former crew and their disparate thoughts are not mutually exclusive.
Many have told me " I would sail with him any day" or "I let my son or daughter sail with him without question". I' m sure if you ask the almost 200 former crew members who attended a memorial for the Captain and the ship, they would all say the same thing.
My favorite teacher, as a grammar school kid, let us get away with anything. Did that make him a good teacher, because we all liked him? There are plenty of good, evil, competent and incompetent people throughout history with adoring followers. Again, the fact that crew like the guy has absolutely nothing to do with whether he was a good decision maker or a good Captain.
