Performance and installation artist Helène Aylon scrutinizes the entrenched, sometimes invisible, belief systems that shape society. Since the 1970s, she has used her work as a tool for poetic dissent and constructive revisionism. Aylon's early work contributed to the women's movement, opposing the unrealistic imagery pedaled by magazines like Playboy. In the 1980s, her focus shifted to ecology and nuclear non-proliferation. By 1990, she turned her penetrating gaze to the religious texts that helped to define her female identity.
The Pentateuch, or Chumash, is the focus of Aylon's exhibition "The Liberation of G-d and The Unmentionable," now on view at Pittsburgh's Andy Warhol Museum. The show is part of the Warhol's ongoing series, "The Word of God," which features art that addresses religion in ways intended to promote understanding between faiths. Aylon's show follows the series's controversial first installment, Sandow Birk's "American Qur'an." While controversy is also central to Aylon's exhibition, her approach is more analytical than accusatory. Aylon acknowledges this, dedicating the show, in part, to her fifth grade Hebrew teacher and a female principal, who "encouraged Boro Park girls to question."

When Leah Goldberg was 8 years old, her father suffered a mental illness and her mother went to work. Leah started studying at the trade school in Kovno (now Kaunas), Lithuania, and turned out to be a gifted student. Within just six months she was learning Hebrew.
"Today I am starting to write a journal. I remember that two years ago I also wanted to write but there was never any time," Goldberg penned at the time. "When I got home I stared at the sky and saw little clouds, like angels of light that sailed across the heavens. There is nothing to write about today. Enough!"
Using a variety of quotes from journals, letters and poems she left behind, plus a number of unpublished photographs and interviews with literary figures and people who knew her, the documentary film "The 5 Houses of Leah Goldberg" will premiere today at the Tel Aviv Cinematheque (as part of DocAviv). The film tells the story of the revered Hebrew language poet and writer, whose 100th anniversary falls in two weeks, on May 29.
Star violinists are not usually known for modesty, but even in this company, Arthur Hartmann, born in Philadelphia to Hungarian-Jewish immigrants, stands out for braggadocio. Hartmann, who died in 1956, had talent, as we read in "Claude Debussy As I Knew Him and Other Writings of Arthur Hartmann," a paperback out in September, 2010 from The University of Rochester Press.
While touring internationally, Hartmann wrote transcriptions for his instrument. A CD of Hartmann's miniaturist compositions was released in 2009 from Toccata Classics, played by violinist Solomia Soroka and pianist Arthur Greene.
Perhaps it's time to stop being surprised by the disproportionate number of successful Jews in any random profession. That's one of the lessons to take from "Masters of Illusion: Jewish Magicians of the Golden Age," an entertaining exhibit at the Skirball Cultural Center in Los Angeles on view until September 4.
The exhibit runs concurrently with the Skirball Center's showing of "Houdini: Art and Magic," which was at The Jewish Museum in New York earlier this year. "Masters of Illusion" is intended as a complement to "Houdini," a way of providing some context to the career of the most famous magician ever, Jewish or otherwise.
"The Golden Age" of the title refers to the time between 1875, when magic as live performance bloomed in America and Europe, and the advent of television in 1948. But the exhibit actually begins earlier, with the inclusion of an edition of Reginald Scot's "The Discoverie of Witchcraft," first published in the 16th century. Scot's book argued that his witch-hunting contemporaries were mistaking prestidigitation for witchcraft. To that end, he wrote about a number of tricks that magicians use to this day.
Is Broadway ready for dancing girls in the Warsaw ghetto? Can an American musical high kick through the darkest moments of Jewish history and still avoid giving offense, or worse, falling into kitsch?
"The People in the Picture," a new musical playing at the Roundabout theater until June 19, raises this question, treading where even the now sainted creators of "Fiddler on the Roof" dared not go. Indeed, in his commentary for the anniversary of "Fiddler on the Roof's" original Broadway cast recording, Sheldon Harnick tells how "Fiddler" almost had dancing girls in a big second act production number. Jerome Robbins even had it choreographed before deciding that the juxtaposition of dancing girls to communal expulsion just wasn't the show they were writing.
Though the dancing girls in the ghetto are only a brief moment in "The People in the Picture," as an artistic choice it stands for a show which is neither very funny nor very serious, and ends up falling, unfortunately, on the wrong side of self-parody.

I am indebted to the blog Point of No Return for links to two articles about (formerly) Jewish Egypt. The first, an article from Al-Ahram online, takes a tour of the Haret El-Yehud, what was once Cairo's "Jewish Alley," a site of Jewish habitation for centuries. It concludes with the ambiguous line, "over the past few years, the Supreme Council of Antiquities funded the restoration of most significant Jewish landmarks in Cairo. One thought that the council's attempt was to enrich Egypt's heritage. However, the quarter seems to have remained the same. If the Jewish buildings have been restored, they are empty of the people who once filled them."
Click here see beautiful images of some of the Jewish sites remaining in Cairo and Alexandria by photographer Zbigniew Kosc, and especially the 18th-century Italian inspired Haim Capusi Synagogue of Haret El-Yehud (prints of Kosc photographs can also be ordered). For more on the synagogue see David Cassuto's "The Rabbi Haim Capusi Synagogue in Cairo & its Uniqueness," (in Hebrew with English summary). Unlike the more famous Ben Ezra and Ramban synagogues, The Capusi synagogue has not been restored.

When Mary Ocher participated in a singing competition at 14, Idan Reichel, who was working as a music arranger in the same competition, told her she would never be a singer. At 20, after hearing the same thing from a few other Israeli teachers, Ocher packed her bags and moved with her band, Mary and the Baby Cheeses, to Berlin.
She says she feels like part of the scenery there. "There are so many oddballs there, and the mainstream is not all that absolute so I'm really comfortable there," she says. "I can wear the most outlandish clothes I want and put on the most extreme makeup and that will be fine. There is a lot less sexual harassment there. Here I can't cross the street without someone yelling something at me, and I just want to disappear."
It is hard to believe we are only five years from klezmer-punk band Golem's 2006 debut album, "Fresh Off Boat," and the first time (most of us) heard Alicia Jo Rabins on a record. Since then we have gotten a follow-up from Golem (2009's tremendous "Citizen Boris") and a solo debut from Rabin's new project, Girls in Trouble.
Now, in 2011, Rabins has released her own solo sophomore album, "Half You Half Me," putting herself in contention for the most prolific Jewish artist of the last few years. Moreover, "Half You Half Me," out this week on JDub records, escapes the fate of many album follow-ups. Instead of a collection of hastily thrown together songs in the wake of a debut success, the album is a carefully written, confident set of songs that pushes the Girls in Trouble project forward and almost alleviates the pain of going two years without a new Golem album.

I am pleased to report the release by the U.S. Commission for the Preservation of America's Heritage Abroad of a report on the survey of "Jewish Heritage Sites of Bosnia-Herzegovina." The survey of over 60 sites was organized and sponsored by the Commission, and carried out by researcher Ivan Ceresnjes, a former leader of the Bosnian Jewish community who is now with the Center for Jewish Art in Jerusalem. I edited the report and contributed to some of the sections when serving as Research Director of the Commission. Ruth Ellen Gruber also provided important information.
I first got involved in Jewish heritage sites in Bosnia when the Commission helped raise funds and organize the restoration of the prayer and pre-burial house at the venerable Sephardic cemetery in Sarajevo. The cemetery had suffered greatly during the Siege of Sarajevo and the building had been heavily damaged by fire. A picture of the restored structure is on the cover of the report. Many other sites have not fared so well. Many sites are still in ruins, and cemeteries are overgrown. Some cemeteries may still have landmines from the civil war.

As far as cross-cultural collaborations go, Blackfield's most recent album, "Welcome to My DNA," is rather unexpected. Not because the album is particularly shocking, but for just the opposite reason — because without reading the liner notes, the album plays like that of any other band. But unlike most bands, which come together by coincidence, Blackfield is the intentional side project of Israeli pop star Aviv Geffen and British singer and producer Steven Wilson.
The band was formed in 2000, when Geffen invited Wilson's British progressive rock band Porcupine Tree to play a few shows in Israel. Following the performances, Wilson and Geffen quickly became friends, and as Geffen was looking to expand into the realm of English rock, the two conceived of the idea for Blackfield. Together, the duo went on to record their eponymous debut "Blackfield" (2004), followed by "Blackfield II" (2007). This past March the band released their third album, "Welcome to My DNA" on Kscope, and are now embarking on a 14-date North American tour beginning in Washington, D.C. on May 18.

A large pigeon roosts on the roof of a house in the picture that opens the new edition of "Ha-Mefuzar Mi-Kfar Azar" ("The Absent-Minded Guy from Kefar Azar," Am Oved, 1968), by Leah Goldberg. Goldberg's book, based on a work by Russian Jewish writer Samuil Marsha, originally appeared with illustrations that she did. Now it is being reissued with drawings by Natalie Waksman Shenker.
The new edition of "The Absent-Minded Guy" is a lot more than a tribute to the work of the late Goldberg, whose 100th birthday will be celebrated this month. The scatterbrained protagonist is reborn in this book, and the illustrator, Waksman Shenker has provided a refreshing and inspiring version of him and the entire work.

As one unravels the history of the 20th century, it becomes apparent how deeply individual lives were woven into the larger fabric of world events. From the shtetls of Eastern Europe a new generation of Jewish youth emerged whose exploits shook the entire world. Now, after the members of that generation have gone, their grandchildren are left with fragments of family memories, yellowed newspapers and archival documents. But from these we can still piece together a picture of the past with its incredible adventures, its great ascents to wealth and power, and its equally dramatic defeats.
In her recent book, "The Eitingons: A Twentieth-Century Story," Mary-Kay Wilmers, the longstanding editor of the London Review of Books, looks at three members of her family, each of whom belonged to a completely different world: one was in business, one science, and one military intelligence and political intrigue.
The latter of these, Leonid Aleksandrovich Eitingon, born Nahum Isaakovich Eitingon, is a well-known figure in the history of the Soviet intelligence and security services. A top Soviet agent, his main job was organizing operations against enemies of the Soviet regime abroad.
Earlier this week, Molly Birnbaum wrote about her first writing teacher and the scent of Passover. Her blog posts are being featured this week on The Arty Semite courtesy of the Jewish Book Council and My Jewish Learning's Author Blog series. For more information on the series, please visit:
This past Sunday was Mother's Day. In celebration, my mom and I went out to lunch. We ate crisp salads and tuna sashimi. We laughed a bit too loudly, tipsy after a glass of white wine. Before that we had been shopping, trying on summer dresses and sandals with straps twisting up our ankles—a little too hopeful for the immediacy of warm weather as we listened to a chilling thunderstorm soaking the streets outside.
I write about my mother in my book, "Season to Taste: How I Lost My Sense of Smell and Found My Way." After all, she took care of me after I was hit by a car while jogging in 2005 — the accident that broke my pelvis, tore the tendons in my left knee, and fractured my skull; the one that ultimately robbed me, an aspiring chef, of my sense of smell. In the months of my recovery, I found it devastating to not be able to perceive the scents that had once been so closely aligned with my memories of my mother: the smell of her lilac perfume, of her rosemary-mint shampoo, of the chicken dish she used to make with dried cherries and cream. I understood the importance of scent in terms of taste and flavor. But I had not realized how intrinsically it is tied to memory and emotion, too.

Yonathan and Masha Zur's recent documentary "Amos Oz: The Nature of Dreams," screening May 17 at the New York Israel Film Festival, expertly circles around the question: What is the place of politics in literature, and vice versa? For Oz, the two cannot be disentangled. "To write what they call 'universally'… how is it possible?" Oz asks at the opening of the film. For him, the writer is inextricably tied to the time and place in which he writes; like it or not, he is as attached to the sounds, smells, and sights of the world that surrounds him as he is to the language he uses to express his thoughts — its syntax and vibrations, its sound, its history. These details seep into his literature whether he is conscious of it or not. In telling his own story, as Oz has done in his 2002 memoir, "A Tale of Love and Darkness," he inevitably also tells the story of a particular place and time (in the case of the memoir, it is the story of Jerusalem in the 1940s).
It's not porn, that's colonizing the viral virtual space of business America in early May 2011 but a children's book written by Adam Mansbach.
Mansbach is best known for his cheerily titled books "Angry Black White Boy: A Novel" and "The End of the Jews: A Novel," But he has clearly met with parenthood in a meaningful way and his new book, "Go the F*** to Sleep" has touched a chord beyond his normal readers.
Somehow a rogue pdf of the book has been circulated. I got mine from a lawyer who got his from a lawyer who got his (hers?) from a recruitment consultant who got it from I don't know where. Elsewhere in the virtual world cover pictures are being exchanged along with rumors of rhymes that didn't make it to the final edition.
András Mezei (1930-2008) was a major Jewish-Hungarian poet who left behind a retrospective exploration of the Holocaust for our time. There are many voices speaking to us of terror, folly, greed, cruelty and absurdity, but Mezei's poetry makes them sound like our own voices. His testimony has been published in England, in my translation, as "Christmas in Auschwitz" (Smokestack Press, 2010).
Mezei survived the Holocaust as a child in the Budapest Ghetto where some 17,000 people perished from hunger, disease and the fancy of uniformed bandits. Mezei's father, a jobbing fiddler usually engaged to play in taverns and fairgrounds, perished at Auschwitz.
Unlike the other great poets of the Holocaust such as Paul Celan, Primo Levi and Miklós Radnóti, Mezei refused to come to terms with death. Indeed, his work is a celebration of the unconquerable spirit of his people. And unlike Anne Frank, he had the time to give voice to the concerns of the victims while he was at the height of his literary powers. This is how he sums up the experience of the survivor in a single couplet:
Claribel and Etta Cone were born in Baltimore in 1864 and 1870, respectively. Two daughters from a large family of German Jewish immigrants, they were in many ways ahead of their time. Claribel Cone went to medical school and later became a professor at Johns Hopkins University. Neither sister ever married, and together they traveled, met artists and writers, and formed an important collection of modern art, which Etta Cone ultimately bequeathed to the Baltimore Museum of Art. A portion of this collection, along with archival material, is currently on view at The Jewish Museum in New York.
The Cone collection is most renowned for its Matisse holdings, but, as I will explain in a May 16 lecture at the museum, the two sisters were avid collectors of Picasso's work as well. While the Picasso holdings currently on view at The Jewish Museum are modest, they rekindle interest in the points of intersection between these collectors and the artist.

One of the interviewees in the film "Doma" sits in her house next to a window overlooking the sea. Only parts of her are reflected in the window pane. In quiet, almost whispered tones, the woman offers a heartbreaking tale of the sexual abuse she suffered at the hands of her uncle since she was five. When she tried to resist, he threatened to go after her sisters. Her grandmother witnessed what was going on under her nose one night, but chillingly chose to do nothing and say nothing.
"I couldn't scream because if anyone heard or found out about what he was doing, it would be a big mess," says the woman, explaining why she remained silent over the year. "Many times he would tell me that nobody could know, because if that happened, my parents would get divorced, my brothers would be sent to different places and the two families would fight, and my brothers and sisters wouldn't get married. I would bring shame on my family; I would cause damage and ruin my brothers' and sisters' future. Here… you are responsible for the entire clan."
In her first film, director Abeer Zeibak Haddad chose to set off from her Jaffa home on a journey across Israel in order to shed some light on a subject that has been covered up for years in Arab society: sexual assault of girls, teenagers and women within and outside the family. "Doma" will be screened on Saturday at the Tel Aviv Cinematheque as part of the DocAviv Festival which opens today.

Curb Find Table Turned Desk~
Bringing my son's friend over to spend the night last spring, I spotted this desk and whipped over to the curb to squeeze it in my suv. I'm pretty sure I earned "Most Embarrassing Mom" that evening but..it worked for me. lol! The things we won't do for a "new" desk, eh? This old table fits the bill. :-)
It was such fun doing that table that I thought I'd share. I just love that Tatoauge!
lorettaf,glad to know I am not alone. lol
slowmedown, thank you for the nice compliment. I had fun with my home office and the desk was my favorite thing to do.
lydia1959, glad you got to see the top! Thank you, too!
I did look at your whole photo albumn and I must tell you SooV, you sure are one talented lady. Your office and the rest that I saw were exquisite. You have a very lovely home from what I saw in the pics. The desk, I can see you labored hard over refinishing it. May I please ask, what is the rose decal you used for the top of it? I know I'm going to misspell this so I will sound it out when writing it - Is the decal that "tutoupauge" I've seen on QVC? It comes in sections and you use a wooden stick like a popsicle stick to rub over it onto a wall or your piece such as your desk? It has transformed that curb side table into a beautiful, very delicate looking desk. As for the small file cabinet, again, you sure are talented. It's so lovely and fits so perfectly in your office. I awed over the bulletin board made from corkboard and the frame. I have two of those same frames I curb shopped and I wondered what I was going to do with them, now I know. The push pins with the glued on half-marbles, how ingenious to turn something ordinary into something so cute. (I'm running out of words here-LOL.) Your drapes with the petals at the top, matching chair, you sure have a great way of making things look like you spent tons of $$ on them-WOW!! The prom coursages in the glass jars, I'm in awe.
I apolgize this is so long and want to say, if I missed describing how beautiful a particular piece turned out please know I actually studied your pics and your talent. Your home gives me inspiration to do more in my own home to make it even more lovelier (I decorate country style.) As I said, now I know with with a little hard(er) work and inspriation you can truly get what you want out of something you found. Thank you.
OH, Sal, what a lovely thing to say. I truly appreciate it. Our home is very small...1340 square feet. I just love finding things and working with them. Yes, the tatouage is what you see on QVC but I found the roses on ebay and faux painted around them.
The bulletin board was fun as well. Is Ballard Designs crazy with pricing or what?!? It was nice to duplicate that for pennies so I'm happy that you like it. The file cabinet was a, hmmmmm, what can I do with this thing. lol!
I wish you great luck on your home projects. Just jump in with both feet on one room and work from there. I'm glad you found some inspiration as I love decorating, too! I have several albums on that site so click on albums if you'd like to see more. I've been a member here on the Garden board for over five years but forgot about it and just came back. I think since you mentioned the decor, perhaps I should post on the Home Decorating site?
Thank you again!
Hi SooV, I don't know what Ballard Designs is, I'll guess it is a store with high prices. I have a small home also and a small yard but it's enough for me to take care of both inside and out. I've had this house for 16 years now and I still say I "love" my home. After more country decorating in the past couple of years, it's like a new house. I have several items I've curb shopped and they are still just sitting waiting for me to do something with them, about three beds for benches (I'd keep one and either give away or sell the other), etc., etc. It's a lot of work for one person and well, I just do what I have to do. I will certainly look at your other albumns.
Craftylady-2006, here's a link to Ballards and the inspiration to my cork message board.
I hear you on the space issue. Like you, I've done almost all of it myself as it's my fun time. My DH was diagnosed with cancer on September 6th, so he's not able to help me as much as before. It feels good to get things done and my DH loves that I continue doing things I enjoy. He's doing well, though and we hope chemo answers our prayers.
Keep doing what you can and yahoo on the country decor. I've always been a fan of things old and well loved. I look forward to seeing your photos.
Wow..I checked out your photos and am very impressed with your many talents! Yor are an inspiration for anyone who wonders what the heck to do with that chair, or table or piece of fabric or even those flat marbles! Think outside of the box! I love everything you have done.
SooV - I do hope your hubby gets well very soon. It can be a very trying time in both of your lives, you and he both hang in there.
Thanks for the Ballard Design site, WOW, a $499 bulletin board, I don't think so. Even the $49 one blows me away. I would rather punch a hole in my wall with an over sized nail than spend good money on "cork." LOL
Morninglori, someone suggested I return the chair to the homeowner's porch as a surprise. I don't think so lol, but wouldn't it be a hoot? ;->
Sal, thank you for the good thoughts. "I would rather punch a hole in my wall with an over sized nail than spend good money on cork." I hear ya, sista! ROFL!!!


text: Hello from Kansas, I am searching for a copy of the Dec 21st, 1980 game against the New Orleans Saints. Have searched everywhere, I think,...including NFL Films. I have various Highlight films from that era..but my good friend Don Calhoun stated that if he could play or see one game from his days as a Patriot running back....It would be that particular game. Don't under stand why...but since he was the one taking the "hits" from 1975 to '82...he gets to pick. This would be for a Christmas gift for him. Is there anyone out there with such an old library that would be interested in a sale of that particular game ? Keith

Oak Creek police were called when a restaurant manager reported an intoxicated man who was carrying two knives came into the restaurant and became upset because they wouldn't serve him alcohol March 22.
According to the Oak Creek police report:
A manager at Buffalo Wild Wings, 8261 S. Howell Ave., reported an intoxicated man, who possibly had a gun holstered under his shirt, and was carrying two knives came into the restaurant and became upset because they wouldn't serve him alcohol at 10:30 p.m. March 22.
The manager said he called police because he was concerned about an intoxicated person carrying weapons.
Police found the man riding a bicycle on Howell Avenue, and found he had two knives in his possession, but they weren't concealed. He was given a ride home and advised about the complaint.

FIAT 500 Abarth Exhaust Sound - Second Clip.MTS
What do you think about this video?
joey mopar: Anyone else hear the similarities between this and the neon srt4 and dodge
Pjmperez01: I think i would rather go w the stock exhaust than a modified one. The stock sound is superb compared to neuspeed exhaust and magnaflow #magnaflow #neuf #neuspeed
Ethan Sutton: We need more sports cars to sound this good from the factory, it's 2014...get with the times automakers!
Христо Чолаков: Nothing with 4 cylinders is ever gonna sound good or agressive.. If it was a inline 5 engine it would be superb!
blackcobra95 ___: Abarth 500 has to be one of the best sounding small cars ever! It's in a very short list of cars I would buy off exhaust note alone! This video does this car no justice. They sound even better in person!
Dan Duffy: I will admit before I saw this I thought 500s were for girls but then I heard one roar down my street and just had to hear the exhaust. The only thing girly about it is the girls you'll be getting with that note
Akoni Keli'ikuli: Sounds EXACTLY like the neon srt4
monkeypolicd: Damn dude i saw this on the road and i was like wat a sick ride btw i drive a golf gti.
padlockd: There's one of these that parks in the same parking garage as me... Better than going to the movies...
Matheus Castellan: I just LOVE this car, seriously. This sound is just fantastic! Congratulations, u have a really good, fun and fast car. How is she now? Stock or chip?
BONKERSBUFF: Great sound sounds like a tractor
MrSXys WildRide: This exhaust literally sounds almost identical to the Dodge SRT4 exhaust. I'm not saying it's a bad exhaust note, I personally love it, but the first time I heard the Abarth exhaust the SRT4 came to mind.
John Smith: Still not cool.
matteo magagnato: Greve
devad4trs: Sounds like a SRT 4 without the pop
TheObserverSees: Italian music...
KINGFABIAN1: All the exhaust sound in the world still wouldn't make this car any less gay then it already is!
Badmovies13: So rad, like an infant ferrari.
James Turner: How does it sound this badass
JFolsom28: Sounds have gotten a mustang. Murica!!
Dieter Dee: Like SRT4!!!
Michael Lawrence: "it's like to have megan fox in my bedroom but on a separate bed" epic...!!! oh man.. that was a great comparision you made right there... :P
supercooled: You are paying way more for the MCS though. I priced one here in Canada and it's on par to the likes of VW GTI and WRX. For that kind of money, may be a faster car like a V6 Genesis Coupe or a used 370z.
BalotelliDJX: AMAIZING SONG
ThatManAnt34: Honestly it is a bad ass little car lol
Samuel Chavez Garcia: Nice sound and carc
Auto Italia Evolution: Abarth is better in design, quality, technology, sound and engine... Only JCW is Turbo for Mini, and their engine are Peageot... So Abarth is better! It goes not at the 100% because of Italians take care of our health :P
bartli: But who cares what is faster? Faster doesn't means that the car is overall better :) Mini is boring when comparing to 500 Abarth. It just awesome little car, which sounds like a supercar. It's also really worth to buy an optional Monza Recors exhaust! :)))
cherubyno: Holy molly!
Sean Bassett: @Troggie42 I think they're the abarth esseesee stock alloys
conrad0102: Should have got a JCW
vabasf: Sounds so pissed off. So cute haha
Jaime Diaz: Yes. We bought one in Rosso.
ValenNitto: I'd like this car to putt putt around town. Then bring out the camaro at night.
Myron Adams: Damn auto correction; all those typos ruined my comment.
Jaime Diaz: @iLoveBarca10 spam
Jaime Diaz: Correct. JCW is faster and better in all aspects. A fair comparison would be to compare the Abarth to the Mini S... and even with that one, the reviews is that the Mini S is slightly faster than the Abarth.
cemil tacir: Yes autoitalias comment is %100 true.
ascoughc: sounds good but not as good as a fiat punto gt with a magnex exhaust, imagine the gurgle to this exhaust and double it
neelonghunglow: *'Merica
EastMountain81: They didnt even have to put stereos in the Abarth. This is music to my ears. My car couldnt get here fast enough!
Antrax: just look at the data of both cars. Precisely the weight / power ratio and look some results of comparative tests of laps on the track .... same performance at a lower price.
EdRacer71: sounds like a Neon SRT-4....
Jaime Diaz: Nah, I don't think they JCW sucks... I like it, just not in my budget... would love to have one of each :)
nblax41: its an italian car tho
Ivajlo IVAKA: 1.4 TURBO (happy)
ohdantheman: WOW, sounds almost as good as a weed whacker !
Jaime Diaz: Yes, stock sound. Recorded with a Sony camera, so not the best quality, but close. Sounds amazing. This was recorded just before doing a test drive. Here is the link for that video: See video description
Myron Adams: I liver three doing off the turbo charger spooling, but I don't like the exhaust note. They should've opted to put some mufflers on it; it just had straight pipes.
P149U3: Silly little 100hp Cars

Any hope for my 35 yr. old tree?
Hello everyone - I live in Zone 5a. Last year at this time we experienced the widespread killer freeze that hit many midwestern states. I've just had the heart-wrenching realization that my beloved 35 year old Japanese maple seems to be completely dead. I can find no green wood, no buds, the bark has split and is peeling off in several places. I've gradually been pruning more and more until today I removed an entire very large (4 in. diameter) limb with no life found.
Can anyone say whether there is any hope for this tree at all - are the roots still likely to be alive, is there anything that might save it?
Hummm interesting ...need more info ..did it leaf out last year ...if so all summer and how much... you live in 5a that is strange you are pretty far noth to have that sort of damage from last spring mostr in 5a zone were not leafed out or out not that far and the sap was not at peak run for bark damage...most folks that far north were untouched unless you are in one of those weird zones that zig zag... where do you live?? Bark slit is a bad sign ... For a tree that age to kaput from last spring in your zone would beg the question of how healthy it was in the first place which as I see it is a big reason it possiblly would have been so damaged. Please give more info also whether it was a dissectum or not or a generally early leafing tree.BTW none of my older trees were severly damaged not even my large dissectum about 14 years old... leaf damge yes but not bark and although sparce last summer that was because of seconday buds only survived.and theorectically I was in a more advanced area than you ..David
I agree with Dave on this. Last year's freeze hit the south and lower Midwest the worst. Why this occurred is that the temps in March got so high for a couple of weeks and then there was a sudden inexplicable freeze in April. This killed off many JMs. Where I live (border 5a 5b country) it never got warm in March so my JMs didn't see any of this. I think maybe there is something else going on with your tree.

Military Aircraft:
DOD Needs to Determine Its Aerial Refueling Aircraft Requirements
GAO-04-349: Published: Jun 4, 2004. Publicly Released: Jun 4, 2004.
Additional Materials:
- Full Report:
- Accessible Text:
(757) 552-8100
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
With the heavy pace of operations in support of the war on terrorism, the Department of Defense (DOD) and the Air Force have become increasingly concerned about their aging aerial refueling aircraft. We last reviewed the aerial refueling fleet in 1996 and found that KC-135 aircraft were aging and becoming increasingly costly to maintain and operate. In December 2001, we began new work on the Air Force's requirements for refueling aircraft. However, we suspended our work several times to provide testimony and other products on the condition of the current fleet and Air Force plans to accelerate replacement. We were asked to review (1) the extent to which the current fleet has met aerial refueling needs, and the cost and effort to operate and sustain the fleet, (2) DOD's current refueling requirements, and (3) options to meet future aerial refueling needs.
The current refueling force has successfully supported the needs of U.S. combat and mobility air forces during peacetime and wartime operations but future support costs will continue to rise as the fleet continues to age, according to the Air Force. Congress authorized the Air Force to acquire 100 KC-767A aerial refueling aircraft in November 2003 as the first step in replacing the 538-plane KC-135 fleet but it could take up to 30 years to replace the rest based on the estimated production rate for the first 100 aircraft. Thus, the Air Force will need to continue maintaining and modernizing some of the remaining aircraft for up to 3 decades. Some of those aircraft could be 70 to 80 years old when they are eventually replaced. DOD does not know how many or what type of aircraft are needed to meet future refueling needs because its requirements study is out of date. The most recent study, Tanker Requirements Study-05, was done in 2001 and identified the number of aircraft needed to carry out a two-major-theaterwar strategy. However, that strategy has been superceded by a new capabilities-based approach contained in the 2001 Quadrennial Defense Review. In addition, significant changes taking place in operational concepts and force structure could substantially affect future refueling requirements. As a result, the Air Force does not have a clear picture of future needs that could guide its replacement and investment decisions. GAO outlines three broad options to meet the Air Force's long-term aerial refueling requirements. DOD could adopt one or a combination of these approaches. GAO is not taking a position on which option(s) would be most suitable. The Air Force was recently directed by DOD to conduct and complete by August 2005 an analysis of alternatives for replacing the current capability. However, at the time of our audit work, the Air Force did not plan to study the option of using contractor-provided aerial refueling services as part of its analysis of alternatives.
Recommendations for Executive Action
Status: Closed - Not Implemented
Comments: DOD completed a Mobility Capabilities Study in 2006. However, GAO had concerns about this study and urged decision makers to exercise caution when using the Study. This study did not address the tanker issue. MCS 2006, a follow-on study, may have a tanker component; however, that study is not complete. Nevertheless, DOD is currently evaluating proposals submitted for a new tanker and expects to award a contract by Jan. 2008 for the first planes, without further studies being done.
Recommendation: To provide a current, comprehensive roadmap to guide long-term replacement of the current tanker fleet, the Secretary of Defense should conduct a new, validated requirements study to determine the current and projected aerial refueling requirements.
Agency Affected: Department of Defense
Status: Closed - Implemented
Comments: DOD conducted an analysis of alternatives for the tanker replacement, but rejected the option of contractor-provided air refueling services to meet some portion of its needs.
Recommendation: The Secretary of Defense should direct that the Air Force's planned analysis of alternatives be a comprehensive study of all reasonable options, including using contractor-provided aerial refueling services to meet some portion of its aerial refueling needs.

Bought these to use on cloth diapers - they come out cleaner and fresher and softer than with any of my previous (big brand name) detergents. Highly recommend!
These work great! Really great. So happy to have made the switch. Smells come out, stains come out - even out of my 6 year old boy's clothes and hockey equipment.
I absolutely love these nuts! My clothes come out really extra clean and so soft. Don,t need softener. Really inexpensive and light to ship to isolated locations. I use with all of my laundry, and if really dirty I use natural oxi bleach too. Love love love
First time user of user of Soap Nuts! when they arrived I was somewhat surprised...yep they are plant nuts! I guess I was expecting balls of soap or something. I was seriously skeptical because I was going to use Soap Nuts to do our family laundry, which includes my 7 month old who suffers with eczema. I was blown away at how well these work. You do need to make sure that you don't jam your washer full, as the nuts need enough water and space to circulate and properly wash, but this is no different than other natural soaps. Hands down the best natural soap product I've ever used!
I have used soap nuts for quite a while and still amazed at how well they work. Clothes are clean and soft with no residue. They aren't as effective on really dirty work clothes but on everything else they are great. I highly recommend this environmentally-friendly product.
ommmmg!!! who knew nuts could actually clean this well. My clothes came out looking cleaner then with any other chemical filled detergent. They are so soft and i love that is natural and good for the environment hurray for theses litte nuts!! this is all im ever buying for detergent.
These work well for washing mine and the babies clothes leaving them clean and fresh however, they don't do much for my husbands smelly clothes. He works outdoors so gets pretty sweaty and after washing his laundry with these everything came out with the same smelly sock kind of scent. Not so pleasant. I will continue using them for the rest of our wash though.
Love the no chemical aspect of this product but wish it had a clean smell afterwards. But I guess that's why it's no chemical!
I've used this product for over a year, and will continue to. We are sensitive to chemicals and scents, and these are a great natural alternative to the toxic detergents. I bought the large box and it lasted me an entire year! Can't get more frugal than that! I like the Eco Nuts brand, as they sterilize the soap berries and they're organic, unlike some others on the market. My toddler and I have sensitive skin, and it's never irritated it. Our clothes are clean and fresh. I Highly recommend it.
Love this alternative to commercial laundry soaps, work excellent, clothes come out very clean and does not irritate sensitive skin in myself and my children. A little tough sometimes to get the nuts out of the little bag but worth the little bit of effort.
The eco nuts- soap berries are great - they get the laundry clean!! I have a coconut allergy and coconut or derivatives are present in all other laundry detergents on the market....as a matter of fact they put coconut in everything - toothpaste, hand soap,liquid soap, all lotions or face creams, shampoos, hair gels/sprays, deodorants and the list goes....it is very hard to find things without it! Thank goodness for eco nuts!
The soap nuts work very well. Landry comes out clean and fresh smelling.
It's not an artificial fragrance smell, but just a smell of fresh laundry. Also, my cotton clothes are very soft after wash. I'm definitely going to use the nuts as my primary detergent.
I must say that I was quite skeptical when I bought them, especially with a "He" washing machine, which uses less water, but they work great. The laundry comes out very clean, with a fresh & clean smell - in a "non-scented way ", like someone else pointed out. Works even better than the natural laundry soap I used before. A great discovery.
I use this for my toddler's clothes and it works great - clothes come out clean without the use of chemicals! I pre-treat the food stains and just toss everything into the washer. To those who are concerned about the smell - there is a very mild (almost vinegar) scent from the wet soap nut bag but once the clothes are dry, there is no smell at all.
I was worried that these wouldn't actually work, but I was pleasantly surprised. Everything has been clean but doesn't have an irritating scent (which is why I tried these in the first place) I will definitely be repurchasing!
Great so far, my cloths are clean and fresh smelling in a non scented kind of way. I was skeptical if these little soap nuts would work on my partners work cloths ( hes a carpenter, he get pretty dirty and sweaty) but they work great. I fine them very affordable for the number of loads you get and love that its a natural eco-friendly product! I will bye these again !
It may be the hard water in the area but I am not happy with the product. The laundry, after being washed with the Eco Nuts, has no smell at first but later it has a "funky" smell, which we do not like. I'm going to have to wash all my clothes again. I will not buy this product again.
Wow! Super impressed with these. I can feel the difference as soon as i pull my clothes out of the washer. Seriously, if you are on the fence about buying these, don't be, i promise you won't be disappointed!
Smells really clean and love using it for both me and my baby's clothing. Only drawback is i sometimes find it leave some clothes a tiny bit stiff feeling.
I just received mine and have used them once. I like how my laundry turned out though! And they are so easy to use. They are amazing.
I wouldn't have believed it if I had not have tried it first hand! They work great and soooo eco-friendly. Clothes are clean and fresh without the perfumed smell of detergents. I'm very impressed.
I have purchased these to help with my son's eczema, so far i have not noticed a change, but i am hopeful all of the great reviews that i had read previously will prove that they work for him!
So glad I tried these. Really work well and leave a fresh, clean scent. Bonus time saver too;Just pop the bag in!

Figure 1.
Monitoring of reaction dynamics by real-time PCR. A) Monitoring of the deamination reaction as a function of deamination time using primers designed for an unmethylated part of the MLH1 promoter. Three different primer sets were used. The first set (MLH1 UF and MLH1 R) binds to areas with no cytosines, and hence amplify both deaminated and undeaminated DNA. However, since deamination creates 2 uncomplementary DNA strands, only one strand of the deaminated DNA can function as a template. The second set (MLH1 DF and MLH1 R) cytosine has been replaced by thymine making it specific to deaminated DNA. The third set (MLH1 UDF and MLH1 UDR) contains cytosines making it specific to undeaminated DNA. Real-time PCR detection of the 3 products was performed with a common molecular beacon (MLH1 beacon). B) Binding sites of beacon and primers used are shaded. Top strand is the undeaminated DNA sequencing. Bottom strand is the deaminated sequence. A horizontal line between the two strands illustrates no difference in sequence, ":" marks the positions of cytosine converted to uracil during deamination, and "+" marks the positions of CpG dinucleotides. Primer sequences can be found in Table 1. The universal primers, MLH1 UF and MLH1 R, contain Inosine at one position each.
