"Israel should have given Palestine its state years ago."
Good point. the problem is, while to you and other westerners "Their own state", it means the West Bank, Gaza and part of E. Jerusalem. For the Pals it means the entire state of Israel.
If you spend time and read PLO's own manifesto ratified in 1974, under the tile "10 steps phase Plan", where they describe step-by-step of gradual and incremental steps of removal of Israel and replace it with their Palestine. A plan which Pal leaders follow very carefully.
The only problem (for PLO) is, after the Israelis had learned this insidious plan, they decided to turn the table on the Pals - use their own tactics to thwart this plan. That is the very reasons when settlement building started only in 1981, and not 1967.
One can not blame the Israelis for doing all they can to ensure their survival as sovereign homeland for the Jews, where they call their home.
Article: "Israel faces a dilemma with far-reaching strategic consequences. Thirty years of peace with Egypt have rested, above all, on a demilitarised Sinai".
This strategic dilemma is fairly easy to resolve. Sinai remains demilitarised with no problems or headache for no one if Gaza is thoroughly demilitarised, too.
Egyptians had learned their lesson when all their attempts to bully Israel have ended disastrously for them. So eradicate the threat coming out from Gaza - and bingo! - peaceful Sinai once again.
Few fanatic Egyptian may be willing to sacrifice the future of their country to their own Islamist fanatic agenda. They already have demonstrated that mantra in more then one way. They have been around - as long as the rest of their society gives in to their plan.
fortunate the absolute majority of the Egyptian are more enlightens and educated, who the see the world beyond few passages written in the Quran. Through their quiet diplomacy, military and commerce exchange with the Israelis, they do realize the vast benefits which the peace treaty have brought with it.
The very fact that, Egypt did not need to spend billions of dollars on military force on its long borders with Israel, which also less danger to their own solders, is one benefit for maintaining peace with Israel.
The prevailing notion in Israel and US is that, Egypt intents to keep the peace treaty with Israel, regardless what those ill informed man demonstrating in front of the Israeli Embassy in Cairo.
I still look forward to read Mr. Hisham al-shbeiny's learned and intelligent (he has a post graduate level of education in economics, according to him) response to my question to him.
Lacking a response, incidentally, is also an "answer", mind you...!!
It seems that you are hard extremist and your heart is full of hostility and grudge against the Arabs in particular and Muslims in general.
your comments on Egypt is not acceptable. even your black heart makes your comments lacking of any politeness.
You said that Israel will emerge as a dominant power in the Middle East !!
Just time will tell.
Soon, you are going to know who are the Egyptians.
May be you do not know that Israel without a complete support from USA, is nothing.
In June 1967 war, Israel won because it started the war, while the Egyptian army was under a weak and inefficient leadership. and the beginning advantage helped Israel so it was a victory without a real confrontation between two parts. it was just from one side, the attacker who started the war.
In Oct 1973 war, it was a real confrontation between two parts. Ask your people to tell you about the Egyptians then. Ask about how USA rushed to help Israel at that time. Our President at that time said it obviously, I am not planning to fight with USA.
without American support for Israel in 1973 war, Egyptian army could have reached Tel Aviv, however it was not our aim at that time.
I wish also to say that, the American support to Israel will not last. just time will tell.
the American support to Israel is coming from two parts: First, AIPAC which a power of money and control the USA policy toward the middle east through supporting the candidates who commit to Israel interests. Second, through the conservative Christians in
America such Tea Party members and most of the Republicans.
the influence of these two groups on the American foreign policy in general and on the American foreign policy toward the middle east in particular , is huge. but I bet on the increasing burden that are carried by the majority ordinary American citizens due to the consequences of these two groups' policies. no one can deny that Iraq war was obvious example of the policies that helped to protect Israel and guarantee its existence.
the ordinary Americans paid the price of this war in taxes and in the life of their soldiers.
I do not think the ordinary Americans will keep on affording for so long the cost of implementing AIPAC and Tea Party policies.
I just would like to see Israel which have a people from different nationalities and different languages and even different ethnics, how will survive without a comprehensive American support ?!
By the way, the theory which said that the security issue is effective in unifying the people of Israel, is extremely true. being fear and scare from outside threats make Israelis forget their differences.
As Egyptians and Arabs , we want peace, but a fair and logic peace in order to continue. and we said we accept the existence of Israel. but to expel the Palestinians from their lands and to kill them and to bring foreigners from Eastern European countries (after attracting them by salaries and jobs, houses , medical care etc to come and to live in Israel) to make them live instead of the Palestinians and after that you claim that you are a peace seeker. and your justification is that , since more than 3000 years ago, my fathers were living in Jerusalem !!! strange justifications.
By the way , the Palestinians deserve a state. and they should not seek the UN General Assembly in next Sept. but not because of the importance of direct negotiations with Israel(as Israel is planning to negotiate forever without giving anything) but because the the Security Council is far from justice by USA veto which will be used by orders from AIPAC and Tea Party members and their followers.
the only way for the Palestinians to retain their rights is to organize themselves universally and resort to the force.
Also , I bet on the power of the Palestinians but if they unify themselves.
I look forward to reading your response. my dear enemy.
by the way, I have post-graduate studies in Economics.
Lets get few facts on the table.
1. The whole agenda of "Homeland for the Jews", goes all the way back to the League of Nations conference of 1920 in the San Remo.
followed by the Balfour Declaration in 1923. An affirmation of the previous decision, entrusted by the British Mandate (for the region of Palestine, including today's Jordan & Israel), and the French one (for Lebanon & Syria).
2. The label "Palestinians": Up and until June 1967- while under the rule of the Jordanians (WB & E. Jerusalem), and Gaza (Egypt), there was no such entity by this name. Only after they came under Israeli rule these Arab call themselves "Palestinians" to render themselves as indeed "indigenous". (Look up where the late Arafat was born & grew up.
3. It is known fact that, during the 7th -11th centuries, it was a standard practice by Muslims, in which where ever they conquered a territory - either, destroy, convert, or build on top of the ruins of local inhabitant's holy sites - into Mosques.
Then, declare them "Islamic Holy Sites" to prevent any future attempt by the original population the ability to regain their holy sites.
Hindu Temples in Punjab, The site of Jews 2nd Temple in Jerusalem, and the Sephia church (The Blue Mosque) in Istanbul.
The Turks converted it into a Museum to appease the EU countries to accept Turkey as member.
4. Israel came into the possession of all the territories in June 1967 as result of successful campaign to defend itself. Arab won't admit their mistake, nor take responsibilities for their own action.
5. Right after the 6-days war. Israeli leaders had publicly declared of their willingness to return all the conquered land (except Jews Holy Sites) to the Arabs, in exchange for comprehensive and genuine and lasting peace with all its neighbors. Thus put an end the hatred and senseless wars.
6. We all know the Arab League's famous three NOs declared in 1967.
No peace with Israel
No recognition of Israel
No negotiations with Israel
froy writes:
"So, yes, "Historical Palestine" is the ancestral homeland of Palestinians."
So, does it include the late Y. Arafat as well?
If this Egyptian born, who grew up and studied in Cairo calls the state of Israel HIS "Ancestor land"?. Why not those Jews who were actually born and grew in Israel Is it not THEIR ancestral land as well?.
By the way. While we are at the topic of one's "Ancestral Land". Can anyone show me a 2000 year old manuscript like the "Dead Sea Scrolls" written In Arabic?. Instead of ancient (Aramaic) & modern Hebrew language - which could connect the present inhabitants to their ancestral past.
Finally. Can anyone direct us to a site where credible evidence of "Palestinian Historical Homeland" had ever existed?
I will be very interested to read about it - who know. Froy may be right after all.
Froy writes:
"Hamas only fights the occupiers of its ancestral homeland. See the difference?"
Now This is the greatest load of bull I have read in a very very long time. (your word froy, not mine)
Homeland?. Who's "homeland?. The Egyptians or the Jordanians.
If your convoluted "homeland" holds any water, why these so-called "indigenous" Arabs did not attempt to have their own homeland long before others did the same. Jordan, Syria, Lebanon, and yes Israel, in the region. Back in 1918, none of these states had existed the way we know them today.
The Pals are trying to get a vote in UNGA to recognize their state based on the same exact borders, which they already had between 1948 - 1967. Why they didn't try even ONCE to gain their independents while under Egypt & Jordanian rule.
The reason is very simple. There have never been such entity called "Palestinians". In fact, Arabs in Gaza are Egyptians, and the ones in WB are Jordanian. These two groups have next to nothing in common - except, religion, language and common hatred of Jews in Israel.
The biggest lie perpetuated by our Arab pundits, is when they claim pals as "indigenous" people.
In fact, the late Yasser Arafat - himself, the very symbol and the embodiment of the Palestinian agenda, he was an Egyptian. Born, grew up, & studied in Cairo, (later had business in Kuwait) and carried the Egyptian passport.
It was only during the late 50's when he clutched his chines, shook his head and said "Oiy Vey, I am a Palestinian". No wonder many people dubbed him Arabfart.
Hisham El Shebeiny writes:
"I think there is a significant difference between Jews as a people who are belong to the Jewish religion and those who are leading international political movements such as Zionism etc "
You "think"?. Habibi. The fact is you know little about the connection between the Jewish religion, and the Zionist movement.
Following the Dreyfus Affair in France, a secular Jewish paper editor in Vienna named Theodor Hertzel had decided, enough is enough, it is time to have Jews their own country where they will be safe from further persecution and pogroms. In 1899 he formed the Zionist movement, which initiated the movement toward that goal. On the eve of 14 May 1948, with the birth on Israel, Zionism had accomplished in objective, and gave way to a new national identity for Jews living in Israel, and a homeland to all Jews living in diaspora where they can immigrate and live among their brethren..
(Equally habibi, I also "don't care" what you say about injustice committed against the local Arabs).
You then go on with repeated "I know that", and lecture us about your knowledge about Jews. Your comment depicts your contempt for the Jewish religion.
Now, I might ask you, Islam being the last in the historical line, what qualifies you to define who we are? and what we should or should not believe in? Why can't you accept and respect other people's right to define their religion or nationality, the way THEY chose for themselves - instead of you chose it?.
In regard to I know". You may know a little bit about everything, and frankly nothing about one thing – the Jewish religion being a primary example.
How many Muslim scholars living throughout the Arab & Islamic countries are out there, who specialize in Judea or Christianity – who would teach you on a scholarly level the positive attributes of Judaism which shaped your own religion?. I am talking about the Muslim version of the likes of Prof. Bernard Lewis (who is a Jew), Karen Anderson (a Christian) and many others, whom through their breathtaking and in depth academic publications, have enriched us about your religion. What Muslim do to understand, and thus respect Judaism and Christianity – very little.
What the he..l do you know about my religion – beside the "Jews are Apes and Pigs", and "stones and trees tell the believers (Muslim) here is a Jew hiding behind me, come and kill him".
Who in his right mind teaches innocent children these filth?. How can you as Muslim, and I a Jew can expect to have any chance of living in peace, harmony and with mutual respect when your religious authorities teach you and your neighbors this trash?. Are these "words of Allah?.
Finally. You question of my understanding Of Islam. That could be true, had I not been born and lived among you for enough years to know the real ideology of Islam vis-a-vis Jews.
The problem is We know you. You don't know us. The tragedy is, Muslim authorities throughout the ME don't even bother to know.
"Jehuda Ben-Israel, I suggest the question isn't whether Jews have the right to self-determination; it's whether Israel has the right to exercise its own determination over other people. In other words, you have every right to live there and do whatever you want in private. But do you also have the right to choose your neighbours and tell them what they may or may not do?"
1. Thank you for allowing us, Jews, to live in our homeland of 4,000 years, the country in which the Hebrew/Israeli/Jewish people came into being, in which it brought into the world Jewish civilization: Judaism; and, in which the Jewish people's capital city, Zion/Jerusalem, is located at the center of the Jewish people's homeland.
2. We, Jews, prefer to live in both private and public, as all other peoples. I hope the poster's objection would not be too harsh, or would it...??
3. The essence of the Arab Israeli conflict is not what Israel does or doesn't. It is a conflict that commenced in the 1920, 28 years before Israel even came into being, more than half a century before Israel captured the presently disputed territories in a purely defensive war, before "occupation", "settlements", "Gaza" and all such slogans.
The cause then and the cause today of the Arab Israeli conflict has been the Muslim-Arab world's categorical refusal to accept the universally accepted right of the Jewish people to exercise its right to national self-determination and independence on ANY parcel of land between the River and the Sea.
This historic and ethical right has been accepted by the international community in the form of the Balfour Declaration, 1917; San Remo Conference, 1920; League of Nations, 1922; and, United Nations resolutions, 1947 and 1949. These declarations, decisions and resolutions have been incorporated into that which is dubbed 'international law'.
It has been precisely because of this recognition by the international community that the Muslim-Arabs, local and regional, contrary to international law, attempted to change reality through the use of force, a lot of force, the results of which are the symptoms to which the poster refers.
@ bourgeois142:
"The left needs to get over its disturbing infatuation with violent revolution."
They need, I agree, but would like to remind you that not all the Left are inclined towards violence. The lady peacenik who went to Israel, and died there defending hapless Palestinians, the one called Rachel Corry, was an aspiring poetess. She left us these sincere verses:
Little starlet from the Heaven
dropped into my boyfriend's breafs.
I don't mind his roasted penis
if it helps to live in peace!
Another Tack: The scorpions sting – again / By Sarah Hoing
P.S. Little has changed over the past many decades, indeed, very little!!
A United Call: Both Muslim-Arabs and Jews should come to the table at which they will reiterate their commitment to UN Security Council Resolution, 242, and on the basis of which and only on the basis of which set out to reach an accommodation of peaceful coexistence between Arab and Jew, between the Muslim-Arab world, local and regional, and the nation-state of the Jewish people, Israel.
At the end of the the process, and part of a peace treaty, the two will express their mutual accepting of each other, that is Palestine is the nation-state of the Palestinian Arab people and Israel, the nation-state of the Jewish people. And, the peace treaty, the sides will agree, constitutes the end of the conflict and the end of all future demands.
The Jewish people, within and without its nation-state of Israel, no doubt, will stand behind this call. Will the Muslim-Arabs...??
Let us hope so...!!
Dear Mr. Obama,
Your popularity is likely to go up if you demonstrate to us and the world as a whole how you manage wisely the expected PLO's move at the UN.
Mr. President, this case should be for you an opportunity to finally show leadership in matters related to international affair.
In light of developments, you should insist on two things:
1) Demand that the parties return to the negotiating table without ANY preconditions, none whatsoever, and start talking strictly based on UN Security Council Resolution, 242, the one accepted by ALL Security Council members, and ALL parties to the conflict.
2) Insists that should any one of the parties refuses to come to the negotiating table based on this simple condition, the US, and along with it such as allies as Canada and European countries will stop all financial aid to the party that refuses to negotiate under the following conditions.
Any move to the UN at this stage, you must make it clear, by any of the sides, will bring about the end of financial aid as well.
Can you, Mr. President, demonstrate to us, finally, your ability to lead from the front rather than from behind...??!!
The way to resolve the Arab Israeli conflict has been and continues to be one of the best resolutions the UN has ever reached: UN Security Council Resolution, 242, as is.
242 was designed to bring about an accommodation of peaceful coexistence between Arab and Jew, between the Muslim-Arab world and the nation-state of the Jewish people. The resolution passed the Security Council unanimously, and eventually accepted by ALL relevant parties to the conflict. Furthermore, 242 has served the basis for all peace talks and on the basis of which two peace treaties have been reached and implemented. It is high time to insist on the implementation of 242, as is, now, and by so doing advancing the process of bringing to an end the Arab Israeli conflict.
242, let us note, expects the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) to withdraw from "territories" - not all, mind you!! - captured during the 1967 Six-Day War, but not to any specified line. It expects them to retreat to a "secure and recognized boundaries" to be reached through direct negotiations by the "warring parties".
Also, 242 does NOT call for the setting up of an additional state in the region, nor does 242 make use of concepts such as "Palestinians", "Palestine" or a "Palestinian state". In fact, 242's intent is to see Egypt is handed much of Gaza over which it ruled until 1967, and to Jordan is handed much of the West Bank which it ruled until the Six-Day War.

The same way you have blundered over the mention of rome in the bible, you are doing it again.
Once more .... where is your proof that Jerusalem was ever their cultural, economic and religious center.

Marco, the cases you point are crimes no matter how you look at them, and I don't sympathize with them nor justify them. The label of "terrorism", however, is politically charged and varies depending of the point of view. Murdering children, be it a lone fanatical Palestinian with a knife or an IDF pilot dropping a 1 ton bomb in the middle of Gaza, is a hideous crime. .... if hamas choses to launch rockets from school yards and hospitals, does that mean Israel has no right to attack those sites? If a person takes children hostage and begins to kill them and the police are forced to intervene and incidentally kill a child are you saying the police are the criminals? That's the dilema you have: Hamas intentionally targets women and children and then hide behind their own women and children. You thinking makes heros out of hostage takers and criminalizes the police who have to deal with the hostage takers.
About whatever Palestinian leaders might have said about Jewish presence in Historical Palestine throughout History, it is ridiculous to deny it, so I can't share such preposterous affirmations....I don't deny the historical link of Jewish people to Jerusalem and the surrounding territory. .... too bad for you Froy, you have just become an enemy of the palestinian people. according to hamas/hezboullah you are now a zionist collaberator and you would have your throat cut for being a traitor to the palestinian cause.
You can't hunt with the hounds and run with the hares. The entire intent of terrorism is to polarize and you are either on the side of terrorists, justifying their murderous policies or you are forced to confront the terrorists. There is no middle ground. That is the essence of the current conflict in the entire middle east.
FYI: the entire palestinian negotiating position on Jerusalem is based on the denial of jewish rights to jerusalem. The palestinian position is that all Jerusalem belongs to them ... so where is the basis for any negotiations ...
what you won't read in the english press:
Hamas politburo chief Khaled Mashaal said that the organization's goal is to liberate Jerusalem. "Our mission is to liberate Jerusalem and purify the al-Aqsa Mosque. Islam goes forward because its power comes from Allah and it will continue to advance in spite of its opposers," "We tell our people – the crowd gathered here supports our Jihad way and resistance,' he added.
"God is leading us to victory and liberation," he said.
Hamas political leader Khaled Meshal declared that "Jerusalem's fate will be decided with jihad (holy war) and resistance, and not negotiations."
Bet the Muslim Brotherhood get their people in power in Egypt.
equilibrium asked Kursato:
" Why do you claim that Turkey has a right to protect its citizens by carrying out military operations against its enemies while when Israel carries out military operations to protect itself from infiltrators that kill civilians you accuse Israel of being a spoiled child?"
Why, indeed?

Terror attack in Itamar: 5 family members murdered
By JPOST.COM STAFF AND REUTERS

Five family members were found murdered in their residence in the West Bank Itamar settlement Friday overnight, after a suspected terrorist broke and entered the house and stabbed the five to death. (three of dead were children by the way).
Palestinian media on Saturday reported that a faction of Fatah's al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigade claimed responsibility for the stabbing incident.
ok froy, so according to your european standards the above murders are perfectly acceptable and are not terrorist attacks. Is that your point of view.

Subsidised home safety fixtures for more seniors
Hospital referrals help patients to enjoy HDB scheme despite not meeting criteria
As a 64-year-old housewife, Madam Eng Bok Hua was too young to qualify for a programme which subsidises the installation of elderly-friendly fixtures such as grab bars and ramps in flats.
But a system in which two local hospitals can highlight critical cases to the Housing Board (HDB) has got her the help she needed after she fractured her hip.
The Enhancement for Active Seniors (Ease) programme, which was launched in July 2012, requires one of two qualifying criteria to be filled.
It is open to Singaporean households with a member aged 70 and above, or with someone between 65 and 69 who requires assistance with activities such as bathing, dressing or feeding. These families can apply for Ease directly with the HDB.

STOCKTON – Try finding an old fashioned deli sandwich?
LODI - Recent temperatures on the ground have been hovering in triple digits.
MODESTO - Summer is in the air and the weather is looking better every day. It's the perfect time to take on a new adventure. Why not learn to fly?
First-time California visitors traveling southbound on the freeway sometimes are taken aback when, just about the time they reach Stockton, they see a big ocean-going freighter that seems a little like a whale swimming in your local river. After driving hundreds of miles down California's hot, dry interior, it just doesn't compute that there should be a ship anywhere even close.
JAMESTOWN – The 4th of July extended holiday is a perfect time to visit Railtown 1897 State Historic Park (SHP) and enjoy memorable train rides behind the "Movie Star Locomotive" Sierra No. 3 while being entertained by festive live music performed by local musicians. Train rides behind Sierra No. 3 are available today and Sunday.
TUOLUMNE – The charismatic country duo LoCash Cowboys will be performing at Black Oak Casino on Thursday, July 11. All of their singles have made the Billboard Hot Country Songs chart with their song "Keep in Mind" entering in the top 40.
SAN JOSE - Star Wars: Where Science Meets Imagination, the blockbuster exhibition featuring one of pop culture's most enduring science-fiction franchises, opens Oct. 19, at The Tech Museum of Innovation , marking the final stop in the exhibition's hugely popular 20-venue international journey.
A full day of fun is planned for Independence Day in Turlock, starting with a downtown parade and ending with festivities and fireworks at the Stanislaus County Fairgrounds.
Fourth of July in Manteca means fireworks, a parade, breakfast, and an old-fashioned family gathering at the Big League Dreams sports complex.
STOCKTON – It's been a few years since the City of Stockton last put together a pyrotechnic display along the downtown waterfront.
COLUMBIA - Columbia State Historic Park is the setting for Columbia's Glorious Fourth of July Celebration on Thursday, July 4.
So you're looking for a Fourth of July celebration that's different than the same one that you've been bringing your family to for the last decade.
About three years ago, I took my son to Yosemite National Park for a day hike.
To get the most of out of an urbanized hike through Turlock, look no further than Califia.
MODESTO – The hulking glass windows of the Gallo Center for the Arts loom in the background.
This is the story of two friends, both mothers of two-year-old tots. One lives in Ripon. The other lives in Lathrop.
On the way back to family court which was once the JC Penney building I walked the downtown streets of Stockton, getting ready to pick up a dear friend who was there on a summons.
Taking a walk, a bike ride or a healthy jog around the Ripon community can be a pleasant experience.
When Vicente Sconza opened a candy kitchen in the San Francisco Bay Area in 1939 as an Italian immigrant he was living the sweetest life possible.
Owner Eddi Marie Julian chuckles every time the sign displayed outside of her Downtown Modesto candy shop causes a passerby to do a double take.

The First Quarter Storm (Filipino: Sigwa ng Unang Kuwarto) was a period of leftist unrest in the Philippines, composed of a series of heavy demonstrations, protests, and marches against the government from January to March 1970, or the first quarter of 1970. It was one of the factors leading to the declaration of Martial Law in 1972.[1]
The Storm began in January 1970, when students welcomed Marcos with demonstrations after his speech in the Congress. The movement was led by the student leaders of the University of the Philippines, echoing recent student demonstrations all around the world before 1970.[1] But then, the moderate demonstration turned into a radical one, led by the Kabataang Makabayan founder Jose Maria Sison as well as the leader of the New People's Army Bernabe "Kumander Dante" Buscayno. Laborers also took part, protesting against graft and corruption in the government, and the decline in the economy caused by high oil prices and the overkill electoral victory of Marcos for his second term.[2] Some sources stated that the unrest was a plan to overthrow the government through communist as well as socialist support from the masses, as well as students and workers who facilitated the storm. Most of the activists carried Molotov cocktails and pillbox bombs to counter the police attacks at the Malacañan Palace.[1]
The "storm" ended violently when the police used tear gas and arms to quell the demonstrators. Students tried to counter using their Molotov cocktails and pillbox bombs while retreating. Those who were slow were beaten with gun butts. The storm extended to the Divisoria district in Tondo, Manila. After the failed protest, some of the surviving radical students, mostly from the University of the Philippines, Lyceum of the Philippines, Polytechnic University of the Philippines, and the University of the East, became avowed Marxists, and took up their arms engaging in guerilla warfare.
The First Quarter Storm was one of the factors that led President Ferdinand Marcos to declare Martial Law.

arsenal1952 5pts I too have driven a Euro version, Diesel 5-Speed manual and was very impressed with the performance and handling of the car. (Hertz Rental) I wish some of these US based car companies would offer the drive train options that the Euro's are offered. The driving ranged from oneway alleys in ancient towns trying to find our hotels to rolling through the hills of southern Spain on the freeway at 100mph no problem. Never getting out of fourth and rarely even having to shift. Plus my gas mileage was way better than I would have gotten with a 1.8L auto. What a slag. It is interesting how options that American value in a car are armrests and cup holders while the Euro's obviously find performance and efficiency key components to a vehicle.Good and fair synopsis of this all-in-all fine little car.
insidertrading 5pts The US version is still inferior to the EUR version!!!! There are no other engine choices, no GPS, no AUX input, no keyless ignition and one transmission option; a crummy 4speed auto with no manual mode. I understand the exchange rate problem but at least offer these as stand-alone options, they're already available in other markets on the same car!!!The car is so slow off the line I was laughing while being left in the dust by Neons and Aveos. To make matters worse the top MPG for the snail 1.8 is only 32 compared with Hondas 34 and Toyota's 36....Get it right the fist time!!!
orbit9090 5pts -I am not sure why you dog the ION so much. My 2007 ION 2 Sedan is quieter and quicker than my partners 2007 Toyota Corolla LE, for $2,500 lower MSRP. My ION does not squeak or rattle, and it handles great. The Astra will of course be an improvement, but it better be, with such a price increase. However, Saturn is going to alienate a lot of customers who seek a more affordable price point than the Astra. In addition, you fail to mention here the Astra is built at the Opel plant in Antwerp, Belgium. GM says they will only be able import around 20,000 per year to the USA. It's crazy that GM spent almost zero ad bucks on the USA built ION but is now heavily advertising an import car they won't be able to stock. -
urbanjoe 5pts I agree with jimesg in regards to the short gearing. Here in Southern California highway speeds are regularly in the low 80's, and a 4000 rpm racket would annoy. But the design is excellent overall and the Astra lineup finally provides GM with a legit small car that people will show pride in owning.
greenhornet 5pts I am suprised and delighted at the changes at Motor Trend. Your editorials are well informed, intelligent and well written.As for the Astra and GM's decission to marry Saturn and Opel, I say, Good Show. These are cars that will cause pride of ownership and provide Saturn drivers with some truly entertaining motoring experiences. I've spent quite a bit of time behind the wheel of the British version, Vauxhall Astra and I walked away very impressed with it's driving dynamics. The Astra handles and performs beautifully under all road surfaces and driving conditionsand left me with the impression of a solid and safe car.I can't wait to get my hands on the Saturn version. The price is a bargain.
jimesq 5pts Thanks for the review KO. I love everything about this car except for the few minor details you mentioned. The low hp rating wouldnt be enough to keep me away, but the high engine RPM at highway speeds would be annoying. Dont know if the stereo has auto loudness control that adjusts volume as speed increases, but you really have to crank it to get good audio with a four banger pushing 4000rpm. The center armrest and drinkholders should have been addressed. I know that some dealerships come up with some aftermarket stuff to address these issues. Perhaps GM should get together with some dealers and come up with an add on center armrest and some solution to the cupholders. It is little things like that that could mean making the sale or not.

Ron Washington: "They can take the analytics on that and shove it up their [bleep][bleep]."
Feb 24, 2014, 10:30 AM EDT
Ron Washington likes to bunt. A lot of people hate bunting. Sometimes, people try to tell Ron Washington that he shouldn't bunt. This is what happens when they tell him that:
"I think if they try to do that, they're going to be telling me how to [bleep] manage," Washington said. "That's the way I answer that [bleep] question. They can take the analytics on that and shove it up their [bleep][bleep]."
Washington has heard all the moans and complaints about his bunting.
"Mike Scioscia dropped 56 sacrifice bunts on his club, the most in the league, and he's a genius," Washington continued. "But Ron Washington dropped 53 and he's bunting too much? You can take that analytics and shove it."
Well, Mike Scioscia bunts too much too.

Cant hate the guy for being honest
- themanytoolsofignorance - Feb 24, 2014 at 6:42 PM
I never understand all the Ron Washington hate. He's thad winning teams for 5 of his 7 season. Each of his losing seasons had steady improvement. He's got his club to the post season 3 times and the WS twice. Only Jonny Oats has ever got that club to put up the win totals he has and he did it only three times in 7 seasons. No one else is really close to any of Washington's 5 winning years. Fire him? for what? To go back to losing seasons "the right way"?
- raysfan1 - Feb 24, 2014 at 10:13 PM
I think he's a pretty decent manager overall, other than bunting too much and over-managing his pitching staff (he's far from alone on that one in emulating my main irritation with Tony Larussa). However, another year or two of not making the playoffs, or even getting bounced early, and I bet he does get let go in favor of "trying to get to the next level."
- themanytoolsofignorance - Feb 24, 2014 at 10:38 PM
If he's getting them to the playoffs, why bounce him? No one bounced Bobby Cox and he did about the same with the Braves as what Washington's doing with the Rangers.
- raysfan1 - Feb 24, 2014 at 10:49 PM
I put "trying to get to the next level" in quotes for a reason–namely that I disagree with the reasoning. However, fans and front offices often become spoiled over time. They see they went to the WS a few years ago but haven't won the division the last two and lost the wild card game two years ago. If the Rangers do not win their division or at least past the wild card game, I do think the pressure will begin to mount, fair or not. (The difference with Bobby Cox was the Braves winning their division every year and winning one WS.)

I was not happy with this salad. There was so much oil that when i took a bite, my lips were greasy! I would recommend cuting out the oil completely as it really doesnt need it at all. If you see my picture, you can see the salad swimming in the oil.
Made this last night with bbq pork loin rack on grill. Didn't have a few ingredients: Cayenne, so used Hungarian Hot Paprika, fresh corn, so used canned, instead of vinegar & olive oil, used dressing, used canned diced tomatoes. Everyone loved it. Thanks for making my boring corn a little more exciting.
This was surprisingly good! I was amazed that my family liked it. I thought they wouldn't be too crazy about the heavyhandedness of the basalmic vinegar. I think the key to making this salad work well is to use only the best farm-fresh vegetables and to mix the minced garlic, basalmic vinegar and olive oil well before mixing it with the vegetables. I used a green pepper as I didn't have a red one. I definitely will make this recipe again - especially when I have an excess bounty of fresh corn on the cob.

Another Year In Review: Revisiting 2013's Mobile Trends
Posted by Thomas Husson on January 9, 2014
Every year for the past few years, I've revisited our predictions for the previous year's mobile trends. It's now time to look back at 2013 and, specifically, at the 2013 mobile trends post I put together a year ago with my colleague Julie Ask.
So many things happened in 2013, making it difficult to sum up the year overall. BlackBerry's struggle and Microsoft's acquisition of Nokia devices offered apt symbols for the end of the old mobile era. However, the mobile war is far from over. Following marketers' integration of mobile into the mix, many vendors started to acquire mobile expertise, technology, and resources — and those acquisitions are far from over. Players like Facebook that acknowledged their past mistakes and turned into mobile-first companies managed to generate significant revenues; mobile now represents more than 40% of Facebook's ad revenues.
Let's take a look at some of the key trends we highlighted last year. We expected that:
- Advanced marketers would integrate mobile into a multiyear strategic vision. We said: "Mobile platforms will act as a catalyst for the next generation of connected experiences. In particular, smart apps connected to products and CRM systems will emerge. In 2013, leading marketers will anticipate the longer-term mobile disruption and shift from tactical efforts to more transformative mobile strategies." The reality: We have seen traditional brands tackling the mobile agenda far more seriously and moving responsibility for it up a level to the C-suite. As this article explains, the likes of Mondelez, Macy's, Coca-Cola, and Starbucks, among others, are much more mature in their approach to mobile.
- Implementing this strategy would require significant investment and marketing control. We said: "Mobile on the cheap is over. Implementing the complex technology to make the most of mobile opportunities requires a new vision of how to interact with customers, significant changes in culture and competencies across business and IT, and more investment. Leading marketers will take back mobile ownership from agencies and services vendors." The reality: Leaders are spending well into the eight figures and have more than 100 staff members — most of them on the technology side. We spoke with one head of mobile who reports to the CMO of a global insurance company and found that the company's total mobile budget — including the creation of an internal mobile factory — was dozens of millions of euros. However, the majority of companies still lag behind, and many are still experimenting without coordinating their approach with companywide governance.
- Some hyped mobile trends would disappoint. We said: "Indoor location, cross-channel attribution, responsive design, automated mobile marketing and targeting solutions, mobile 'big data,' and other mobile technologies will make progress, but they won't be game-changers this year." The reality: Huge progress has been made in all of these areas, but it is difficult to isolate any one of them as having made a breakthrough, despite the hype around the likes of mobile RTB, Near Field Communications, and iBeacon.
What did we miss? Do you disagree with the above statements? In your opinion, what were the key trends of 2013? And what do you expect to happen in 2014? Forrester will publish a new report next week sharing our perspective on 2014's mobile trends. Stay tuned!

[aprssig] OpenTracker support for 1-wire weather

I've just released a new firmware image for the OpenTracker that will support the base model of the Dallas/AAG 1-wire weather station (v3 only.) It's available for download at http://n1vg.net/opentracker. As usual, the firmware can be downloaded directly from the config program, but you'll need the new config program to set the weather-specific settings. It's still in beta, so use at your own risk. Setup is pretty simple - you need to set your coordinates, beacon rate, path, power control settings, status text, and status text interval. It'll send a standard, complete APRS weather packet containing position, wind direction, wind speed, gust speed, and temperature. Every 1 to 255 transmissions, if enabled, it'll send a text status message, plus battery voltage and board temperature. The only thing that needs to be calibrated is the wind vane. Set the vane up, point it in a known direction, and set the offset until it reports the direction correctly. For hookup, just connect the station to +5 volts (parasitic power mode hasn't been tested yet), ground, and data (pin JP8 on the OpenTracker.) You'll need a pull-up resistor (1k seems to work) from the data line to +5 volts. Works fine with 20 feet of satin telephone wire. I've had a station running in the back yard all week. I disconnected the solar panel a few days ago, and the 7.5 AH battery is still reporting 12.3 volts. It's driving an Alinco DJ-F1T at 100 mW every 20 seconds to 5 minutes, depending on whether I'm working on it or not. I'm heading off to the local soaring association meeting in a bit, and we'll probably do our first test installation at the paraglider training hill soon. Barometer and rain gauge support will follow, probably after DCC. Hasn't been a big priority for me, seeing as rain is something like a biannual occurrence around here. Scott N1VG

Wii U
The 3DS should have been the Wii Us game pad.

- Page 2 of 2
Yeah, looking back, if Nintendo had developed the Wii U and 3DS concurrently to work together as one platform, this could have worked well. 3DS as the handheld and controller, with the console being the console. Release them same day. Imagine if you got both of them in a bundle for $300/350(Wii U cost $150 to produce, 3DS cost only $100-ish(obviously some R&D costs for both as well, although I'd imagine most the Wii U R&D was for the gamepad). that would be insane --- Billy Mays: July 20, 1958 - June 28, 2009 The Greatest | |
icarus231 posted... Well if you think sony and ms are the correct formula for a proper system then they will be a better fit for you. Its that simple, I was in no way being immature. This isn't entitlement. This is dreaming. Do understand consumer power, however. Nintendo is not in the dominant position as a provider of product and service. We are their employers. If you like their software then deal with their hardware. Its like getting a Dodge and whining it isn't more like a ford. Now, see, this is a terrible attitude if you want to support a company you like. This mentality leads to what you're seeing now, what is it? 3.8m in 11 months? As fans of a company "deal with it" is not the prevailing attitude to have. Consumers do have breaking points and they don't have to deal with it. Also until I see PS/vita running with next to no lag in the real world I wont believe it. There's no reason to expect it to be any worse than the Wii U's game pad. --- The Tales of series needs more love in America. Won't change sig until Namco gets wise.

kaiser ryu posted... icarus231 posted...Well if you think sony and ms are the correct formula for a proper system then they will be a better fit for you. Its that simple, I was in no way being immature. Actually Nintendo is in a dominate position as they are the only company that profits from gaming. No consumers don't have to deal with it but if you have all three companies doing the same thing then you have no real options. This is bad. Yes it will be worse than the wii u for lag. the wii u has almost no lag as it is one device streaming to the controller. When you take 2 devices that are communicating together you will see lag. --- NNID: Icarus231 PSN: Icarus_231 | |
You do realise if the 3DS was the gamepad, the games would look like absolute crap on it, not to mention i couldn't bear the thought of using the 3DSes buttons and analog for wii u games, so no, just no. | |
What I'd rather see is more multiplayer games that allow other people to join in with their 3DS'. It's awesome playing MH3U on the TV while having your friends join you on their 3DS It's even cool to be able to transfer your save between the Wii U and 3DS --- PSN: Des-Nos|3DS FC: 1375 7442 7348 NNID: MrOddities|ACNL: Odd from Utopia | |
The only reason Sony is pushing the Vita as a glorified PS4 controller is because it's failing miserably. The 3DS doesn't have that same problem. It doesn't need to piggyback off another system in order for Nintendo to make money unlike the Vita for Sony. --- "Your arms are too short to box with God!" | |
The PS4/vita thing will fail. When will people realise? People don't give a crap about the Wii U. And people don't give a crap about the vita. Stop trying to shove these awful things down consumers throats. --- http://25.media.tumblr.com/3ec856a327b34abd6227b86559e3e89e/tumblr_mn6la1MZCp1qbeeqko8_250.gif |

Advertising: What's So Special About the Cover?
- Jeff Bercovici
Maybe magazines shouldn't run advertising on their covers, ever. But if they're going to start, better they should do it now than later, and better they should do it deliberately than pell-mell.
And they are going to start. That much has been clear for some time, and was made clearer still by yesterday's news that Scholastic Parent & Child magazine has begun running unobtrusive ads on the lower-right corner of its cover. While Scholastic is the first consumer magazine to cross the line (the first that I can think of, anyhow), other magazines have been tiptoeing up to to it: most recently, Esquire, which implanted a Discovery Channel ad behind Barack Obama's face, and Ladies' Home Journal, which used an advertiser-supplied photo of Ellen DeGeneres as its cover image.
That sort of tiptoeing presents a real problem for the American Society of Magazine Editors, which tries to maintain industry norms governing the independence of editorial from advertising. ASME's rules now say that "the front cover and spine are editorial space" and must remain ad-free. But just why is that, again? ASME CEO Sid Holt says it "reflects the longstanding practice of consumer magazines. This is an issue not only of preserving the editorial integrity of the magazine but also of protecting the brand experience for consumers. Covers are our No. 1 consumer-marketing tool -- I don't think anyone wants to mess with that."
Perhaps that's too conservative a stance, however. In newspapers, the taboo against page-one ads has fallen without any appreciable damage to the independence or reputation of the papers that carry them, among them The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal. Earlier this week, I batted around this question with an editorial guru who spends lots of time on question like this. He thinks magazines are bound to follow newspapers sooner or later, and to think they won't is mere preciousness. "Isn't the front page of The New York Times at least as sacred a place for journalism as the cover of Shape?" he asked.

DNA - The Secret of Life
Alfred A. Knopf
Publication date:
2003 $30
This excellent new book by Watson has been written for a popular audience and contains the scientific basis and the history of the discovery of the central dogma, recombinant DNA, and of the genomics revolution. It's typical Watson: opinionated, a bit brash, but well written. The photographs are excellent and give it the feel of a coffee table book.

Ruff's German fashion designer cousin Helga shipped Ruff her gold jewelry for safe-keeping, but it got covered in tar! To replace it, Ruff needed to find the gold that his great, great, great, great uncle Gus Ruffman hid in Colorado.
Marco, Rubye, and Shreya stayed behind in the Studio while Jay, Marc, and Emmie set out to Colorado dressed in their western best to find Uncle Gus's gold.
Jay, Marc, and Emmie read Gus's diary for clues and determined that they needed to find the combination to the safe at the bank. Using lots of math, a compass, some rope, and a rock, they retrieved the lock's combination. They ran to the bank, opened the safe, and found a treasure map.
Meanwhile, Helga calledshe was in America and on her way to Ruff's doghouse! Safe in Studio G, Marco, Rubye, and Shreya scored 50 points (a perfect score!) during the Halftime Quiz Show.
By horse and by foot, Emmie, Marc, and Jay climbed the trail to the mine entrance where they got cold and wet in search of the waterfall. They found a tiny waterfall and also found loose rocks and a bag! But instead of gold, they found… powder?! Borate minerals that can be used to mix up laundry detergent! THAT was Gus's hidden treasure!
They headed back to Studio G for the Triumph Tally:
Emmie, Marc, and Jay scored:
BUT: "Is that all the points a dog can mine out of his computer?"
The 10 bonus points went to Emmie for figuring out that the FETCHers needed to retrace Gus's steps, which wound up leading straight to the treasure map! She won a gold prospecting kit! Ruff used Gus's laundry powder to get all the tar out of Helga's jewelry. It worked like a charm, like a gold charm!

Polish Presidential Contenders Get Ready for RunoffPosted on Jun 21, 2010
Poland's acting President Bronislaw Komorowski is holding strong in the run-up to the runoff election to replace the late President Lech Kaczynski on July 4, but, after Polish voters cast their ballots in the first go-round of voting Sunday, it looks as if Kaczynski's twin brother Jaroslaw poses a sizable challenge. —KA Advertisement Square, Site wide New and Improved CommentsIf you have trouble leaving a comment, review this help page.

It's vacation time, even if you spend it at home.
That's an arbitrary decision I made last week. The idea began to take form when my brother and I went out to brunch and he ordered a glass of orange juice. For that little bit of sunshine, he was charged $2.49. Later that day, I went to the market and decided I needed an onion. That decision cost me $1.28. That evening, with anxiety over the spiraling cost of living, I watched the news about the war in Iraq, the tragedy at Virginia Tech, and the forecast that the price of gasoline was likely to go to $3.00 a gallon by the middle of summer. By bedtime, I was too depressed to sleep and too worked up to concentrate on the book I was reading. So, I took a long walk, wrestled the ugly thoughts running through my head and decided that if I was going to maintain my sanity, I needed to take some down time.
At times like these, well-meaning acquaintances are fond of saying that since there's nothing they can do about the state of the world, they might just as well pursue some fun adventure. While that seems to work for them, I prefer to use such times as opportunities to nurture my spirit in other ways.
In earlier times when stress hit the boiling point, the old ladies in my neighborhood were around to keep my soul enriched. They had, at least, a hundred tried and true sayings, from biblical quotations to family originals, to match every shade of my attitude. Before they passed away or moved on in their lives, it was virtually impossible for my spirit to drag the ground for long in their company before it was resuscitated, revived and energized, and my body nourished with a delicious piece of cherry pie or a plate of hot, crisp fried chicken wings.
Now I'm on my own, and since it's a little early for my treasured day trips, I will begin my home vacation by trading heavy reading for inspirational material. I prefer short pieces, such as devotional readings or mood poetry. As I meditate on these little snatches of wisdom, they will call forth memories of times and occasions when events occurred in my own life that prove the validity of the message delivered. A brief reading session when I wake up in the morning will get my day off to a good start. And I will try to tackle a home project that requires a lot of energy and determination, like replacing the floor tile in my kitchen, painting the exterior of my storage shed or pruning my hedges. The hard work will make for a dreamless night, when sleep is sweet and restorative.
A walk down a familiar path will help sustain my faith. Along my path, I will see constant reminders of the earth's ability to renew itself. New growth will abound in places laid bare by the cruel strokes of hail and ice. I will consider this Mother Nature's way of letting me know that life's never-ending cycle is not dependent on me for it's survival. Other times, I will just sit back in my lawn chair and stare into space. In this busy life, there seems to be precious little time to keep in touch with one's self. Silence is a wonderful companion to embrace when your thoughts are running rampant and your head feels like a baseball diamond. To get my mind focused, I remember the poems that I learned in school. Just tying to sort out the verses quiets me, and before long I am enveloped in a peaceful cocoon.
The final item on my to-do list for handling episodes of anxiety is one I developed during the meditating session of a previous vacation. I decided that it would be helpful if I placed a time limit not only on how long I would tolerate each episode, but also how long I would devote to managing the episode. On this occasion, I am giving myself permission to spend 24 hours on this vacation. At the end of that time, I will put the anxiety to rest and go back to work.
While I certainly cannot stop food price escalation, the war in Iraq, school massacres or gas prices from going up, I can control how much energy I'm willing to invest in worrying about it. Maybe I should envy those who say they never worry. But, you know, actually I don't.
I worry because I care. Without caring, there's nothing left to fight for. What kind of life is that?

Computer simulation studies of anisotropic systems. XXXII. Field-induction of a smectic A phase in a Gay-Berne mesogen
Luckhurst, G. R. and Saielli, G. (2000) Computer simulation studies of anisotropic systems. XXXII. Field-induction of a smectic A phase in a Gay-Berne mesogen. Journal of Chemical Physics, 112, (9), 4342-4350. (doi:10.1063/1.480981).
Full text not available from this repository.
Molecular field theory predicts the induction of a smectic A phase by the application of a field, either magnetic or electric, to a nematic phase. This intriguing behavior results from an enhancement of the orientational order which is coupled to the translational order and so shifts the smectic A-nematic transition. To test this prediction we have investigated a system of Gay-Berne mesogenic molecules subject to an applied field of second rank using isothermal-isobaric Monte Carlo simulations. The results of our calculations are compared with the Kventsel-Luckhurst-Zewdie molecular field theory of smectogens, modified to include the effect of an external field. We have also used the simulations to explore the possibility of inducing more ordered smectic phases with stronger fields.

Product description
The sexy, witty and often bizarre novels, poetry and dialogues of the first centuries of this era (works such as Longus' Daphnis and Chloe, Achilles Tatius' Leukippe and Cleitophon and Plutarch's Amatorius) were being composed at the same time as fundamental ideas about the body, gender and sexuality were being set in place with the rise of Christianity and the Church to dominate the pagan world. Modern writers on the history of sexuality have largely ignored this literature in favour of prose treatises, philosophy and Christian homilies. Simon Goldhill, writing with the same wit and verve as the ancient writers with whom he engages, sets out to put these texts back into the history of sexuality. The result is a dazzling celebration of sex and sexuality in the Greek literature of the first centuries CE.
