Here are my cold hardy citrus trees (only 2)
The leaves have not completely filled in, so they look a bit bare. The biggest one is about 8', after late winter pruning:
Banana's are getting an early start:
Windmill - no protection (ever) The first pic is 4 summers ago (little guy was about knee high). The second was taken today. The tallest front is about 7' and about 3' of trunk (give or take)
Same Windmill today:
View from my side/back yard (I love living in Virginia)
Mastiffhoo: Me too, Virginia in Zone 7 this year was about a Zone 9 this winter and there is no end to the warm weather in sight! We are also posting some cool stuff with videos on the Virginia Palm Society board. Hope to see you there too.
Nice pics! The trachy is growing really well. I noticed that they dont seem to start growing well until their 3rd summer, but after that they really shoot up! The hardy citrus look good too and I like the view a lot. Definitely a great reason to love VA!
Thanks for sharing
Looking good!
What a beautiful area to live in!!!!
Great view. Looks like Daniel Boone or Thomas Jefferson is going to come riding down the ridge.
Nice Poncirus too.

Our special coverage of the closest race for years
Meet Malaysia's first female mixed martial artist
27 Feb 2013 19:28 GMT | Politics, Europe, Turkey
The leader of a Kurdish armed group imprisoned by Turkey is set to call for a long-sought ceasefire next month as part of a renewed push for peace with the Turkish government, according to officials.
Abdullah Ocalan, head of the PKK, is currently serving a life sentence on an island prison off Istanbul where visitors are seldom allowed and only under the surveillance of Turkish agents.
"[The PKK] will declare at the very least a ceasefire by Newroz [March 21, the Kurdish New Year] and lay down arms by July-August, after which departure from the country will be discussed," Bulent Arinc, Turkey's deputy prime minister, said in an interview on Turkish TV on Monday.
Arinc was quoting a 20-page letter written by Ocalan, which outlined his views on a possible solution for the nearly three-decade-long conflict between the PKK and Turkish security forces that has cost 45,000 lives, mostly Kurdish.
Turkey's secret services resumed negotiations with Ocalan in December with the ultimate aim of ending the PKK's fight for autonomy.
Ocalan's letter was addressed to PKK members and the pro-Kurdish Peace and Democracy Party (BDP), according to Nazmi Gur, a BDP legislator.
'Draft solution'
Gur told AFP news agency that Ocalan was proposing a "draft solution" in the letter and there would be more discussion and feedback before reaching a final decision.
"We, all components of the Kurdish movement, will be standing behind that final decision Ocalan will give on that day," Gur said referring to March 21.
Both sides in the conflict have set out conditions they say would signal good faith and commitment to long-lasting peace.
PKK is asking for the release of hundreds, possibly thousands, of Kurdish activists and politicians kept in detention on charges of links to the group.
Turkey in return insists "terrorists" need to withdraw from Turkish territory before the peace process can effectively begin, and has promised not to attack rebels wishing to leave the country.

Posted October 1, 2010
A couple of songs ""Antihero" and "New Day Rising"" are getting played on some of the anime radio stations I listen to on the Internet and so I thought this album would be full of really pretty, pop-ish tunes. Those two are strong enough that I was convinced I wanted to hear more so I bought the CD. I was surprised to find a lot of really great instrumental work on "Inland Sea." Rin is absolutely fantastic at playing these traditional Asian instruments. As a whole the songs create a dream-like experience that is joyful and full of beauty. I would love to see these girls in concert! The only track I might get a little tired of is "Super Flat Part II", it's just got a little too much of the studio machinery in it. And if I have any real problem with the album it's that it seems heavily produced and I wonder if the girls in Rin couldn't make something quite lovely on their own without synthesizers intruding too much. But this album is superb as is. I certainly hope the girls put out more albums in the future, I will do my best now to hunt up anything else they've worked on.Was this review helpful?

Read more: David Drumm bought six U.S. homes in last decade
A hearing in which Anglo Irish Bank representatives, will question the bank's former chief executive David Drumm, will go ahead this week in Boston.
Anglo Irish bank had requested permission from the court in Boston to question Mr Drumm in relation to his bankruptcy filing. It has also applied for access to documents submitted by the former bank boss.
The bank claims Mr Drumm owes $11million (€8.5 million) which would make the Irish bank his largest creditor.
Anglo Irish Bank has requested to question Mr Drumm regarding his residency status in the U.S. and what investments he has made to justify his E2 visa.
In his filings the former Irish bank boss said he has been a manager of a Boston business for the past 18 months and listed his gross income at $9,000 a month.
Recently he made a filing to the Boston court requesting that they deny his former employers permission to question him. He said that the bank was motivated by the Minister for Finance Brian Lenihan and they wanted to subject him to "the spectacle of a public trial".
Judge Frank Bailey recently informed the parties concerned that he will hold a hearing on the matter this coming Friday, December 2, in Boston.

Trimming out a Marvin Integrity window
I have taken the plunge and decided on the wood ultrex windows from Integrity for my full frame replacement needs. Most of the existing windows have 2" brick mould trimming them out and I would like to match the look as much as possible although a have one wall that is between my house and the neighbors and not seen by anyone as well as two windows located very close to trim boards on the sides of a framed bay window.
First, I am under the impression that when properly installed and flashed this window does not need to be trimmed; is this correct?
Second, for the ones that I want to trim can i go with a PVC brick mould or do I need to use another material? I noticed a small lip on the outer corner of the frame on the drawing; would I need to run the brick mould through a very shallow table say to all it to be let in to this lip?
Also, are the PVC brick moulds usually paintable?
Will the windows be installed over sheathing and some kind of siding overlapping the nailing fin or will they be inset in a brick opening?
The Infinity window frame is intended to mimic a brick moulding and if installed without additional trim, although it doesn't do a very good job of it.
Since a brick mounding is tapered in thickness from the edge on the window side to the edge on the siding/brick side, adding it to a modern window would appear redundant unless it is brought out to the face of the frame by installing it over a 1 inch (+/-) thick flat moulding which would make the brick moulding protrude more than the siding (and possibly the brick). This is obvious if you look at the window frame in a showroom.
An Eagle aluminum clad window frame looks more like a brick moulding IMHO.
The windows will be installed in a wood frame home with Hardiplank lap siding. I will remove existing siding (needs to be replaced anyway) to allow for an installation exactly as called out in the instructions.
The main design issue is that with the new thinner Integrity windows in the bay, I will have to fill 1"-1.25" of space between the window frame and the "corner board" either with trim, thin siding or change the corner board to a thicker one to run flush with the window.

Greater Tuna by Jaston Williams, Joe Sears and Ed Howard, is a laugh-out-loud comedy set in the fictional small town of Tuna, Texas, where "the Lion's Club is too liberal and Patsy Cline never dies."

text: Emmy Award-winning Autism: The Musical director Janet Grillo revisits the subject of her breakthrough film with this sensitive drama about a single mother who must find the courage to enroll her autistic daughter in a therapeutic residential facility. From the moment Mandy was born, Jeanne (Beth Broderick) loved her unconditionally. But the older Mandy (Ashley Rickards) grew, the more challenging she became. These days, even a simple disturbance can set off an intense reaction in Mandy. Gone are the days when Mandy's eccentric behavior was somewhat endearing; self-control has become a major issue, making it quite possible that she could harm either herself or her parents during one of her frequent outbursts. In the wake of a chance encounter with her warmhearted neighbor Tom (Greg Germann), Jeanne starts to think about romance again. As pressures mount at home and at work, however, the stressed-out single mom begins to push Tom away. Later, it begins to dawn on Jeanne that clinging to Mandy may be doing both mother and daughter more harm than good. When the opportunity arises for Mandy to move to a facility where professionals will be available to care for her around the clock, Jeanne contends with the painful decision to finally admit that the best thing for both of them is to finally let go. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

I bought this sieve after my nylon one gave up the ghost. This is so much better. It looks nice, goes through the dishwasher a treat and is very comfortable to hold. I'm very pleased.

Every time I use this sieve the food gets stuck under the metal rim. It takes allot of banging and washing to get it out.

We had passed our 26th anniversary when Jim ...

Hello, can anyone help with an ID?
Hello! I have been a member of the Rose forum and might know a few of you from there. I have 3 Clematis, and I have long since lost the name tags. I am hoping someone can help me Identify the one that is blooming now. I haven't measured, but I would estimate the flowers to be 6-8" across. I need to identify it to know how to prune it and take care of it correctly.
Thank you to anyone who can help!
Thank you so much for your help! I will look up the pruning for group 2 clematis. I had planted a clematis on the other side of the mailbox and thought I lost it the first year when it wilted and died away. When it didn't come back the second year, I planted this one on the other side of the mailbox. The following year they both came back. :) Go figure. So now I have a different variety on each side that blooms at different times. I hope by learning the proper pruning I can get them to fill out and become more bushy. My SIL has a different one that completely envelopes the mailbox and is gorgeous. I like my flowers better than hers, but the size of hers give me Clematis envy!
It turns out I underestimated the size of these blooms. I went out and measured them today. I measured 4 blooms, 3 of them were 9 1/2" across, the fourth was 10" (24-25 cm). I bet it is The President. Thank you so much for your help, as well as the compliments!
My "President" isn't that color at all. It's a deeper purple with a lighter pinkish?/ stripe in it. As soon as I figure out how to upload the pic I'll send it in.
I find it hard to id plants.....as sometimes I swear the growers mix up the tags!!! I have a purple one just like yours and I can't remember the names. I guess I should start cataloging them! LOL. Good luck with ID'ing it.
If not 'The President', it's pretty darn close. Keep in mind that both blue and purple clematis (and other flowers for that matter) seldom photograph true to color.
Here is a link that might be useful: The President
I am pretty well convinced that it is The President, although several look a lot like it. I took a closer look at the center and it is more white than yellow and although the tips looked purple, even in person, looking very closely they are a very dark red. The flower color varies quite a bit in intesity. The larger/older ones are lighter and the smaller/newer ones are a distincly deeper purple. There are faint white "stripes" on the large petals towards the middle. I am not sure if the color fades over time or from exposure to the sun, or if the difference in shades is only related to the size of a particular bloom. There is no pink on any of the flowers.
My biggest remaining question is how you all seemed to know it was a variety requiring light pruning without knowing for sure which one it was.
My other remaining question is if there is any way to encourage fullness. I want one of those clematis that bloom from the ground to top of the mailbox and envelopes the entire mailbox, like others I have seen.
Thank you to everyone who looked, took time to reply and spent thier time trying to identify this for me. I appreciate what a generous gift your time is, especially when you give it to a stranger. You are all the best!
Whatever it is I want one! I love the blues and have a hard time finding them in my area of CT. I am in Newtown. I just bought an Elsa Spath and a Wisley at Stew Leonard's yesterday. They are both straggly but I am hoping to find out if I should prune them and repot to bury deeper. Or maybe since they are in 1 gl container I can get put them in the ground. Your clem is a beautiful size and color.
Suebot in CT
Thank you, Suebot. Sorry, I haven't checked back in a while. This one is several years old, and the first time it has been this nice. I am bad, it is also probably the first time I remembered to fertalize it. :) I live in nothern CT and most probably bought this either at Walmart or Reveys in East Windsor. Mine is in the ground, planted quite deep, becuase I read that was the best way around here. Probably even 8-12" deep. It took several years to be a little less scraggly.
Wow, I can't believe my post is still here 3 years later! This is great, because I have more questions. In the following two years this plant has become much fuller but the flowers are much smaller. How do I prune it for larger flowers, or is that the problem? Could it be fertalizing or weather? Pruing seemed the most likely to me, and harder pruning seems like the most likely answer, but I am not sure how to do it. Decrease the number of shoots from the ground, just cut back the height to 3 or 4 feet for each shoot, remove older or smaller vines? I wanted a larger plant with large flowers. I also seem to get a little more green growth and less flowers than the best photos I see here. That might be because it is on the lawn and gets excess nitrogen from lawn fertilizers. Would adding a super phosphate fertilizer help balance that?

Freedom is not free. The best of us always leave too soon.
I just baught a new Bushnell Banner scope at Bass Pro. I had the choice between a BSA Contender and the 24x Bushnell Banner scope. Both had the same magnification and the BSA had a bit bigger measurement on the objective lens. I liked the Mil-dot set up on the BSA Contender and the big grips and target turrets but I'm an old man at heart and figure why take a chance since BSA burned me once, so I went with the Bushnell Banner. They guy I was talking to at the counter (not the sales person) said he used one and it was a good solid scope. Havent got to test it myself. Its on my WASR-10 but it sure looks good sittin on my desk right now.
I'm already surrounded by half-dead brainless people already, the zombie apocalypse would just give me a reason to be productive and get rid of them.
I have the 6-24 Banner on my varint rifle, and I can't complain about it other than I feel the turrets aren't super accurate. When sighting in, one click could move your point of impact .25" and then the next click can seem to move your point of impact 1.00". I haven't tried doing a "box drill" with it to confirm this, but that is just my thought. I'm going to end with a big honking Millet 6-24 on there anyways. The things is gonna look like the Hubble on top of my rifle, but I like their optics and solid build quality.
A good friend of mine has a Vortex knock off. 6-24, illuminated reticle side mounted parrallax adjustment. and all the gee gaws that go with it. He paid a little less than 400 for it at a Tulsa gunshow and had to send it to Houston twice to be repaired. The warranty service was excellent and the glass is bright and clean. He has it on a 300 win mag and it punches small holes with that scope.
Just to say that some of those knock offs arent all that bad. But I guess it is catch as catch can.
To live is Christ. To die is gain.
I mounted a Bushnell 4200 Tactical recently. It is a little over the budget specified, but I wanted to mention scope rings. I have been using the standard $25 rings from the sporting goods store for years and never thought anything about it. They seem to work just fine.
I splurged a little since the scope was kinda pricey and bought some A.R.M.S. lever mount rings. Holy cow were they better than I ever imagined! the construction was superb, and the lever to lock to the rail is rock solid. I am spoiled now, and will have to retrofit my other rifles with them. It is nice being able to remove and reinstall the scope without having to re-zero it.
I don't sell them, but it will be what I use from now on.Web site
I spent $100 and got a 6-24x50 Vortex. I've only shot it once but so far I'm more then happy. The only thing I can complain about is that it gets a little dark past 20-22x.
If the pain is lacking so is the discipline...

refinishing tubs
I've seen adds that say don't throw out your old tub just refinish it. But no mention of the cost!!! I'm guessing they are maybe using epoxy based paint and just painting it?
Does anyone know? I have a rental with an old green tub in it screaming to be thrown out. I believe its metal and would be almost impossible to get out.
Ok, I guess I'll answer my own question. I found the link below that tells how to refinish bathtubs using epoxy paint. I'm still curious how much this costs if you have someone come in and do it? Anyone?
I have no clue what it costs to have someone else do it. I did it in my kids bathroom myself several years ago. It still looks great. I bought the tub and tile kit at Lowes. Follow the directions carefully and once it's done don't use any harsh chemicals to clean it. Windex with a magic sponge will do the job.
Wish I had read this first...I paid $300 to have an antique tub refinished!

Country singer Craig Morgan to headline police fundraising event
The event will be held in honor of law enforcement and the money raised will go to safety equipment grants
By PoliceOne Staff
NASHVILLE — Country singer Craig Morgan will take the stage at the Grand Ole Opry in Nashville on Aug. 19 to benefit the Spirit of Blue, a foundation which helps fund law enforcement agencies around the country.
A U.S. Army veteran with nearly two decades of service, Morgan returned home to his native Tennessee to pursue his passions: singing/songwriting and working as a Reserve Sheriff's Deputy in Dickson County.
It was his passion for law enforcement that led him to teaming up with Spirit of Blue as a celebrity spokesperson.
"I know firsthand the difficulties police officers face because of the lack of budget from the government and I wanted to be involved," said Morgan. "[Spirit of Blue] provides the resources to get police adequate equipment."
The Spirit of Blue Foundation is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization dedicated to officer safety that works to fulfill safety equipment and training needs for officers.
Morgan, known for signature hits including "Wake Up Lovin' You," "Redneck Yacht Club" and "That's What I Love About Sunday," will perform August 19 in Nashville during a special law enforcement segment of the Opry. Proceeds from the event will go to locally awarded Safety Equipment Grant(s) for law enforcement agencies.
Morgan says he heard about the organization around the same time Spirit of Blue was looking for artists to perform for the Opry's "Law Enforcement Appreciation Night."
"As a spokesperson for Spirit of Blue, my objective is to share the good work the organization is doing and toconvince other artists to participate [in future fundraising events] – I don't want people getting tired of seeing me each time," Morgan joked.
Aside from his work with Spirit of Blue, Morgan also serves as a spokesperson for multiple organizations that benefit service members and other first responders.
A national sweepstakes, the Grand Ole Opry Getaway, allows fans from across America to enter to win a trip to attend the event – go to Spiritofbluesweeps.com to enter or purchase tickets for the show at Opry.com. The Grand Ole Opry will donate $5.00 to Spirit of Blue for every ticket purchased using the promo code "SAFETY."

I got one to toy around with it my self. I'd really like it to work with MHL devices. Thats the moment I found out that MHL's micro usb in is to charge the device and get the HDMI out to work, but doesn't pass though and more usb data though. I imagine the bandwidth is too great.
So as a consolation I thought it would be cool if the lapdock's mouse and keyboard were bluetooth, then i could connect to its display with hdmi, and control the phone with the bluetooth input.
Does anyone know if there is a generic usb device that allows you to connect a USB keyboard and mouse and then transmits though bluetooth? alternatively does any one know of any relevant mods that might help me hack this together?

The "Friends of Syria" conference kicked off Friday (February 24th) in Tunis to examine ways of delivering humanitarian aid and reviving the Arab League's plan for peaceful transition in the country, AFP reported.
Representatives of more than 60 countries, including Arab foreign ministers, EU countries, the United States, Turkey and representatives of the Syrian opposition are attending the session. Russia and China, however, are not attending.
Tunisia's Foreign Minister Rafik Abdel-Salam said in a statement to Tunisia's al-Sabah daily that the content of the Tunis conference's closing statement "will not be different from the decisions taken by the Arab League".
An international panel investigating rights violations in Syria for the UN said on Thursday it had compiled a list of regime officials suspected of crimes against humanity.
At the opening of the meeting, host President Moncef Marzouki and Qatari Foreign Minister Sheikh Hamad bin Jassim al-Thani called for an Arab peacekeeping force for Syria.
Participants are expected to demand the Syrian government enact an immediate ceasefire and allow international humanitarian organisations access to affected populations.

THIS IS HOW I ADAPTED AN AFTERMARKET IN DASH CD PLAYER IN PLACE OF THE DELTA RADIO IN MY 1996 A6. "Proceed at your own risk, I can only suggest that if smoke comes out of your new radio after you power it up for the first time, try to catch as much of it as you can and put it back in the radio before re-checking your wiring connections and trying it again." Below, I am responding to the following post from Paul: Hey all I am having a helluvatime trying to find an aftermarket CD player for my 95 A6. Bob can you explain a little bit more as far as connecting the In-dash CD player pre-amp in puts to the car? I got the same run around B.S. about re-wiring the whole car from Best Buy. And I went out and bought a Pioneer head unit, I bought a wiring harness for the Audi, but the wiring harness had I think it was 4 wires per speaker, a positive and negative for both, where the headunit wiring harness only had a left and right, no + or -. If you could help me out as far as getting around this whole Amp nightmare it would be greatly appreciated! What specs am I looking for (besides size) in the CD Player regarding the AMP input/output? How do I modify the wiring harness to connect the CD player to the AMP, without blowing every speaker and the amp in the car? I went on Crutchfield and they don't sell Aiwa's any more but I found a bunch on eBay. Any kind of insight would be greatly appreciated! Thank You Paul Paul, my Aiwa is model CDC-X304, I think I got lucky with an $89 online closeout deal from Crutchfield, I have seen a similar unit in a JC Whitney catalog. As far as head unit selection, I think anything with 2 preamp outputs for the rear speakers and 2 line outputs for the fronts would work. You say that your harness has 4 wires per speaker, that doesn't sound right to me, could it possibly be 4 wires for the front, LF +, LF -, RF +, RF – ? For example, my unit has 4 pairs of wires for 4 speaker connections plus 2 line out cords. I've been installing car stereos since before the 8 track tape deck was invented and I cannot recall having ever seen 4 wires for each speaker connection. On the top cover of my Audi Delta radio is a white decal with the radio wiring diagram I used for the new radio. It shows the 3 individual connectors stacked vertically on the back of the radio. Looking at the back of the Delta unit, the top connector has 20 small horizontal pins and the center connector has 8 vertical pins. These 2 connectors were the ones I used (shown upside down in picture to match up with decal). The first thing I did was check which connectors had wires routed to the dash, perhaps depending on the options you have, your unit may be wired differently. TOP OF RADIO WIRING DIAGRAM DECAL ON RADIO COVER CONNECTORS ON BACK OF RADIO The Aiwa radio I used has 4 speaker connections and 2 RCA audio line out connections. I only used 2 speaker connections LF + RF and the 2 line out connections. PAGE 1 of 2 THIS IS HOW I ADAPTED AN AFTERMARKET IN DASH CD PLAYER IN PLACE OF THE DELTA RADIO IN MY 1996 A6. The top connector has connections for switched system power, ground, Illumination, memory backup power and GALA and mute for the Delta system. The center connector is self explanatory for the radio's 2 amplified speaker connections LF + RF. The bottom connector is in 3 sections from left to right, blue, green, yellow. I only used the yellow line out section for the RR & LR to send line level signals to the rear amplified speakers. The wire harness connector I purchased on Ebay for the delta radio only adapted the top and middle connectors in the photos. I had to cobble together the connections for the yellow line out connections. I did this by trimming down the width of some small flat male crimp on connectors until they could be pushed in to the female yellow plug. Once inserted, I taped them securely and this worked for the line in/out connections. 2 plugs from dash installed into purchased harness + yellow 2 unused sections of the triple connector separated from yellow connector. connector used for line out connections. The whole job took about 1 hour and is definitely worth doing. The face plate for my radio does not completely fill in the cavity but what it lacks in appearance is more than made up for by being able to have a better radio/CD unit installed. Page 2 of 2

Today's election is historic.Not because of the winner's identity, where
no one expects surprises, and not because of a new idea, which no candidate has
introduced, and not even because of the many new faces – an unprecedented
one-third of the Knesset – who will now checker the public
sphere.Israel's 19th general election is seminal because it is the first
since 1965 to have been dominated by domestic issues. It is through this prism
that its parties, issues and candidates should be seen.Among the
parties, Labor should take credit for this change of the agenda. Its strategic decision to
focus on the economy and all but ignore foreign affairs has been a success. This
is what most voters wanted discussed, and this is what the campaign ended up
debating.After decades of allowing the Right and the Left to preach and
execute their Greater Israel and land-for-peace visions, swing voters concluded
they were wasting their limited political resources on a conflict that they no
longer believed will be solved in their lifetimes.The mainstream
electorate that fought the war on suicide bombers, imposed the West Bank
security barrier on thenprime minister Ariel Sharon and then-foreign minister
Shimon Peres and finally backed the retreat from Gaza is the same electorate
that later took to the streets demanding cheaper housing, education and
food.And so, though an end to the Middle East conflict is nowhere in
sight, Israeli politics have entered the post-conflict era, as voters have come
to see the conflict's treatment as a matter of management rather than
ideology.The politicians who tried to resist this trend, Tzipi Livni
with her focus on the Palestinian front and Shaul Mofaz with his initial focus
on Iran, failed in their quests. The public yawned so impolitely that the two
soon joined everyone else's domestic discourse – Livni by suddenly recalling her
past as Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu's privatization czar, which she now
claims to regret, and Mofaz by celebrating his social origins as an immigrant
boy who rose to command the IDF.Indeed, Kadima, the party that the two
led successively, entered the outgoing Knesset as its largest faction, and
emerges from it a political relic, having been caught off guard by the social
upheaval in the summer of 2011. While Kadima preached peace, it discovered that
the people expected their politicians not to wait with their treatment of
mortgages, tuition and cheese prices until Israel's enemies are persuaded to
beat swords into plowshares.The domestic debate itself is largely about
a decade of Bibi-nomics, which began during Netanyahu's term as Sharon's finance
minister, was then upheld by the Olmert government, and culminated in
Netanyahu's second premiership.More specifically, the vote pits Labor's
Shelly Yacimovich, who plans to hike social spending and upper-echelon taxation,
against Netanyahu, who plans to rebalance the budget by cutting
it.Paradoxically, the budget deficit's growth to 4.2% of GDP was largely
caused by Netanyahu's accommodation of the social protest by extending free
education to children aged 3 and up from the program's previous limit set at age
5, among other costly concessions he made to the economic Left. And ironically,
by the time he returned to the driver's seat, Netanyahu's reformist zeal had
waned.The land reform he promised could have flooded the markets with
state-owned real estate and thus depressed prices. However, when met by
opposition from his political allies, he backtracked.Netanyahu's recent
promises – that this time around he will not give the Construction and Housing
Ministry to Shas and that he will appoint pro-market Likud MK Moshe Kahlon as
director of the Israel Lands Authority, a promise he has already fulfilled –
indicate how much he regrets having compromised his own convictions.The
party that most unequivocally agrees with Netanyahu's economics is Yair Lapid's
Yesh Atid, which has also crusaded for the conscription of haredi men into the
army. The combined vote that the two win today will therefore reflect the
popularity of Netanyahu's economics.By the same token, a strong combined
showing for Labor, Shas and Meretz will be interpreted as a counter-capitalistic
protest.Beyond economics, this election is also about demographic and
social trends.If Naftali Bennett's Bayit Yehudi party performs as well
as all polls predict, it will reflect the high birthrates of the
national-religious community.At the same time, it will also prove that a
fresh and charismatic new face can even redeem a political cadaver like the
National Religious Party, whose following has been voting habitually for other
rightwing parties.Bennett's problems will start tomorrow, when his
refashioned party – now a patchwork of rigorously religious, loosely observant
and fully secular people – has to actually do things together. But that's
tomorrow. Today, thousands of national-religious voters will flock to the polls,
eager to restore the power that the historic NRP wielded throughout the years of
Labor's hegemony, when it was the loyal, respected and most stable coalition
partner.That is why this election is also about the future of
Shas.Twenty-nine years after its entry into the Knesset, the party that
has since become a fixture of the political era is at a crossroads – not because
of a change of minds or hearts, but because of its founding sage's advanced
age.Today's vote will also pass a verdict on the haredi party's future,
as well as its fielding of Arye Deri despite the jail term he served, and the
social-tarnishing campaign that he led.If Shas performs well, it will
mean that a critical mass of the public remains alarmingly
disenfranchised.However, Rabbi Ovadia Yosef's jabs this week at Bayit
Yehudi voters indicate Shas fears that someone may finally be stealing its
thunder.If Shas emerges from this vote weakened, it will mean that the
post-Ovadia Yosef-era in religious politics, like the postconflict era in
Israeli politics, has dawned.The writer is a fellow at the Shalom
Hartman Institute. •
