Met Korn!
I finally...after 14 years of being a huge fan..okay obsessed...met all the members of Korn.
I am still just giddy about the whole expierence I just have to share some highlights. ( I feel like I could write a book but don't have too much time...)
First I met Ray, shook his hand, talked to him while he autographed all the shit I had for him to sign. And then hugged him.
Then Munky came out and I could not take my eyes of him, he is even more gorgeous than I could have imagined when hes right infront of you- the closest I had ever been to him other than the front row of concerts. I shook his hand, mummbled about how good it was to meet him..and gave him the biggest hug, making sure to really feel his dreads in the process. He smelled so incredibly good. Then i just had to do it. I told him "I think you are sooo sexy!" He gave me a smile and said thank you.
Then Fieldy came out. I talked to him about his book and how much I enjoyed reading it. and we talked about that. Then we hugged. I went to put my arm around him the same time he went to put his arms around me so we switched postions akwardly, lol.
Meanwhile Ray walked back threw and I stopped him , gave him another hand shake and told him "I'm soo glad your in Korn" while I gave him an arm rub. He said, "thanks it's good to be here".
Lastly, Jonathan came out. I about lost it. What I said to him came out so fast but it was along the lines of "Jonathan, oh my god, Jonathan, your lyrics have really helped me thru some hard times,your lyrics mean the world to me." And he said "Thank you, I'm gald I'm able to help you honey." yes, he called me honey. More importantly I was so happy I was able to express to him what his lyrics have meant to me, and he acknolwledged what I said. And then I gave him a hug. Making sure to feel his dreads too. My friend and I then talked to him about his red camero, he told us how it was in the shop cuz the engine needing fixing. He was 2 or 3 people down the line and still talking to us about his car.
As if the night could not get any better, they all autographed all 3 things I had for them to sign and we stayed right against the barracade and we were front row for the concert. Directly infront of munky. We stayed in the front row the whole show and though I am still terribly bruised and sore 4 days later i enjoyed every second of it.
Being directly infront of Munky for the whole show we made plenty of eye contact and I nearly died when he did his guitar solo for another brick in the wall right infront of my face.
The night got better....somehow. Munky chugged a bottle of water, crumpled it a little and threw it to me!!! I caught it, dropped it. Security guy gave it to me because he saw me drop it. I drank the rest of his water and licked all the way around it...lol.making sure munky was looking. well, Munky got a kick out of that I figured because then he threw me his sweaty towel he had just dried of with. the guy next to caught part of the towel too and after a little tug of war i let go cuz at least I had munkys water bottle.
Still better Jonathan played downstairs doing his J devil show for a good hour. It was a total of 6 hours of korn filled mania.
Best day ever. I feel soo fufilled meeting, touching, and talking to all the guys in korn.
I am dying a happy girl!!!

You got to take pics?! Security at my show did not allow pics, which sucked. And yes, I do agree Munky gives great hugs..they all do. And Munks gives really good eye contact....I think I about went limp when we were just standing there looking at each other.
So whats the deal with pics? Some shows they allow it or not? Or does it depend on your package you buy?
RE: Met Korn!
Congratulations on your first meeting....and the first meeting is always the best and most personal and memorable....
on the question about pix....For the most part Jonathan is the only member that tends to not be very photogenic, so security typically addresses the fans during meet and greets that no photos are to be taken, either with him or of him.... your best chance to get a photo with him is at one of his DJ gigs.... the rest of the guys tend to be photo friendly and take photos, but also the time they have during a meet and greet can determine if pix will and can be taken...
hope any of that made sense and or helped you any... =)
RE: Met Korn!
I am incredibly jealous of you! I really, really want, no scratch that, NEED TO meet them! Munky is sooo fucken sexy! I couldn't stare at anyone else except from him during their gig in London! I don't want to make up stuff, but I could swear to God that I had an eye contact with him!

Re: Met Korn!
It's the story of my life I think. Met this band.
And I don't know if one day I could do this, it's really sad

The only guy I've seen really close was Munky in 2000, after a concert, I exit from the backstage, I saw the tour bus of them, I walked to the bus, saw a guy.... It was Sonny from POD, I talked to him a little, and then I had to exit from the backstage... I saw Munky who did "Hi!" with his hand to me but he was longer, and I can not go to see him, and the rest of the band (right after I was Fieldy near to him), caus there was the security sayin' to me "no you can't go there!" :( :(
I don't know if he remember that, but htis day Munky did a big thing to me... I think he don't remember, caus' it was like... 13 years ago, in a little town in France, but it would be cool if he remembers!!

Born in Kaunas, Lithuania (then part of the Russian Empire), to an Orthodox Jewish family, Goldman suffered from a violent relationship with her father. Although she attended schools in Königsberg, her father refused to allow her further education when the family moved to Saint Petersburg. Still, she read voraciously and educated herself about the politics of her time.
She emigrated to the United States with her sister Helena and settled in Rochester, New York, at the age of sixteen. Married briefly in 1887, Goldman divorced her husband and moved to New York City. Attracted to anarchism after the Haymarket affair, Goldman was inspired and encouraged toward public speaking by Johann Most and became a renowned lecturer, attracting crowds of thousands. The writer and anarchist Alexander Berkman became her lover, lifelong intimate friend, and comrade. Together they planned to assassinate Henry Clay Frick as an act of propaganda of the deed. Though Frick survived the attempt on his life, Berkman was sentenced to twenty-two years in prison. Goldman herself was imprisoned several times in the years that followed, for "inciting to riot" and illegally distributing information about birth control. In 1906, Goldman founded the anarchist journal Mother Earth.
In 1917, Goldman and Berkman were sentenced to two years in jail for conspiring to "induce persons not to register" for the newly instated draft. After their release from prison, they were arrested – with hundreds of others – and deported to Russia. Initially supportive of that country's Bolshevik revolution, Goldman quickly voiced her opposition to the Soviet use of violence and the repression of independent voices. In 1923, she wrote a book about her experiences, My Disillusionment in Russia. While living in England, Canada, and France, she wrote an autobiography called Living My Life. She traveled to Spain to participate in that nation's civil war. She died in Toronto on May 14, 1940.
Goldman played a pivotal role in the development of anarchist political philosophy in the United States and Europe in the first half of the twentieth century. Although she distanced herself from first-wave feminism and its efforts toward women's suffrage, she developed new ways of incorporating gender politics into anarchism. She spoke and wrote on a wide variety of issues, including prisons, atheism, freedom of speech, militarism, capitalism, marriage, free love, and homosexuality. After decades of obscurity, Goldman's iconic status was revived in the 1970s, when feminist and anarchist scholars rekindled popular interest in her life.
Taube's second marriage was arranged by her family and, as Goldman puts it, "mismated from the first." Her second husband, Abraham Goldman, invested Taube's inheritance in a business that quickly failed. The ensuing hardship combined with the emotional distance of husband and wife to make the household a tense place for the children. When Taube became pregnant, Abraham hoped desperately for a son; a daughter, he believed, would serve as one more sign of failure. They eventually had three sons, but their first child together was a girl, Emma.
Emma Goldman was born on June 27, 1869. Her father used violence to punish his children, beating them when they disobeyed him. He used a whip only on Emma, the most rebellious of them. Her mother provided scarce comfort, calling only rarely on Abraham to tone down his beatings. Goldman later speculated that her father's furious temper was at least partly a result of sexual frustration.
Goldman's relationships with her sisters Lena and Helena were a study in contrasts. Helena, the oldest, provided the comfort they lacked from their mother; she filled Goldman's childhood with "whatever joy it had". Lena, however, was distant and uncharitable. The three sisters were joined by brothers Louis (who died at the age of six), Herman (in 1872), and Moishe (in 1879).
At the age of seven, Goldman moved with her family to the Prussian city of Königsberg (then part of the German Empire), and she enrolled in a Realschule. One teacher punished disobedient students – targeting Goldman in particular – by beating their hands with a ruler. Another teacher tried to molest his female students and was fired when Goldman fought back. She found a sympathetic mentor, however, in her German teacher, who loaned her books and even took her to an opera. A passionate student, Goldman passed the exam for admission into a gymnasium, but her religion teacher refused to provide a certificate of good behavior and she was unable to attend.
The family moved to the Russian city of Saint Petersburg, where her father opened one unsuccessful store after another. Their poverty forced the children to work, and Goldman took an assortment of jobs including one in a corset shop. As a teenager Goldman begged her father to allow her to return to school, but instead he threw her French book into the fire and shouted: "Girls do not have to learn much! All a Jewish daughter needs to know is how to prepare gefilte fish, cut noodles fine, and give the man plenty of children."
Goldman pursued an independent education on her own, however, and soon began to study the political turmoil around her, particularly the Nihilists responsible for assassinating Alexander II of Russia. The ensuing turmoil intrigued Goldman, even though she did not fully understand it at the time. When she read Nikolai Chernyshevsky's novel What Is to Be Done? (1863), however, she found a role model in the protagonist Vera, who adopts a Nihilist philosophy and escapes her repressive family to live freely and organize a sewing cooperative. The book enthralled Goldman and remained a source of inspiration throughout her life.
Her father, meanwhile, continued to insist on a domestic future for her, and he tried to arrange for her to be married at the age of fifteen. They fought about the issue constantly: he complained that she was becoming a "loose" woman, and she insisted that she would marry for love alone. At the corset shop, she was forced to fend off unwelcome advances from Russian officers and other men. One persistent suitor took her into a hotel room and committed what Goldman called "violent contact"; two biographers call it rape. She was stunned by the experience, overcome by "shock at the discovery that the contact between man and woman could be so brutal and painful." Goldman felt that the encounter forever soured her interactions with men.
At her new job, Goldman met a fellow worker named Jacob Kershner, who shared her love for books, dancing, and traveling, as well as her frustration with the monotony of factory work. After four months they married in February 1887. Once he moved in with Goldman's family, however, their relationship faltered. On their wedding night she discovered that he was impotent; they became emotionally and physically distant. Before long he became jealous and suspicious. She, meanwhile, was becoming more engaged with the political turmoil around her – particularly the fallout of the 1886 Haymarket affair in Chicago and the anti-authoritarian political philosophy of anarchism. Less than a year after the wedding, they were divorced; he begged her to return and threatened to poison himself if she did not. They reunited, but after three months she left once again. Her parents considered her behavior "loose" and refused to allow Goldman into their home. Carrying her sewing machine in one hand and a bag with five dollars in the other, she left Rochester and headed southeast to New York City.
something strange happened. In a flash I saw it—every incident of my three years in Rochester: the Garson factory, its drudgery and humiliation, the failure of my marriage, the Chicago crime.… I began to speak. Words I had never heard myself utter before came pouring forth, faster and faster. They came with passionate intensity…. The audience had vanished, the hall itself had disappeared; I was conscious only of my own words, of my ecstatic song.
Enchanted by the experience, she refined her public persona during subsequent engagements. Quickly, however, she found herself arguing with Most over her independence. After a momentous speech in Cleveland, she felt as though she had become "a parrot repeating Most's views" and resolved to express herself on the stage. Upon her return in New York, Most became furious and told her: "Who is not with me is against me! She left Die Freiheit and joined with another publication, Die Autonomie.
Meanwhile, she had begun a friendship with Berkman, whom she affectionately called Sasha. Before long they became lovers and moved into a communal apartment with his cousin Modest "Fedya" Stein and Goldman's friend, Helen Minkin in rural Woodstock, Illinois. Although their relationship had numerous difficulties, Goldman and Berkman would share a close bond for decades, united by their anarchist principles and commitment to personal equality.
When a majority of the nation's newspapers came out in support of the strikers, Goldman and Berkman resolved to assassinate Frick, an action they expected would inspire the workers to revolt against the capitalist system. Berkman chose to carry out the assassination, and ordered Goldman to stay behind in order to explain his motives after he went to jail. He would be in charge of the deed; she of the word. Berkman tried and failed to make a bomb, then set off for Pittsburgh to buy a gun and a suit of decent clothes.
Goldman, meanwhile, decided to help fund the scheme through prostitution. Remembering the character of Sonya in Fyodor Dostoevsky's novel Crime and Punishment (1866), she mused: "She had become a prostitute in order to support her little brothers and sisters…. Sensitive Sonya could sell her body; why not I?" Once on the street, she caught the eye of a man who took her into a saloon, bought her a beer, gave her ten dollars, informed her she did not have "the knack", and told her to quit the business. She was "too astounded for speech". She wrote to Helena, claiming illness, and asked her for fifteen dollars.
When he arrived in Homestead on July 23, Berkman gained access to Frick's office with a concealed handgun and shot Frick three times, then stabbed him in the legs. A group of workers – far from joining in his attentat – beat Berkman unconscious, and he was carried away by the police. Berkman was convicted of attempted murder and sentenced to twenty-two years in prison; his absence from her life was very difficult for Goldman. Convinced Goldman was involved in the plot, police raided her apartment and – finding no evidence – pressured her landlord into evicting her. Worse, the attentat had failed to rouse the masses: workers and anarchists alike condemned Berkman's action. Johann Most, their former mentor, lashed out at Berkman and the assassination attempt, claiming it was carried out to create sympathy for Frick. Furious at these attacks, Goldman brought a horsewhip to a public lecture and demanded, onstage, that Most provide evidence for his accusation. He dismissed her, whereupon she struck him with the whip, broke it on her knee, and hurled the pieces at him. She later regretted her assault, confiding to a friend: "At the age of twenty-three, one does not reason.
A week later she was arrested in Philadelphia and returned to New York City for trial, charged with "inciting to riot". During the train ride, Jacobs offered to drop the charges against her if she would inform on other radicals in the area. She responded by throwing a glass of ice water in his face. As she awaited trial, Goldman was visited by Nellie Bly, a reporter for the New York World. She spent two hours talking to Goldman, and wrote a positive article about the woman she described as a "modern Joan of Arc".
Despite this positive publicity, the jury was persuaded by Jacobs' testimony and scared by Goldman's politics. The assistant District Attorney questioned Goldman about her anarchism, as well as her atheism; the judge spoke of her as "a dangerous woman". She was sentenced to one year in the Blackwell's Island Penitentiary. Once inside she suffered an attack of rheumatism and was sent to the infirmary; there she befriended a visiting doctor and began studying medicine. She also read dozens of books, including works by the American activist-writers Ralph Waldo Emerson and Henry David Thoreau; novelist Nathaniel Hawthorne; poet Walt Whitman, and philosopher John Stuart Mill. When she was released after ten months, a raucous crowd of nearly three thousand people greeted her at the Thalia Theater in New York City. She soon became swamped with requests for interviews and lectures.
To make money, Goldman decided to pursue the medical work she had studied in prison. However, her preferred fields of specialization – midwifery and massage – were not available to nursing students in the US. Thus, she sailed to Europe, lecturing in London, Glasgow, and Edinburgh. She met with renowned anarchists like Errico Malatesta, Louise Michel, and Peter Kropotkin. In Vienna she received two diplomas and put them immediately to use back in the US. Alternating between lectures and midwifery, she conducted the first cross-country tour by an anarchist speaker. In November 1899 she returned to Europe, where she met the anarchist Hippolyte Havel, with whom she began a relationship. Together they went to France and helped organize the International Anarchist Congress on the outskirts of Paris.
Earlier, Czolgosz had tried but failed to become friends with Goldman and her companions. During a talk in Cleveland, Ohio, Czolgosz had approached Goldman and asked her advice on which books he should read. In July 1901, he had appeared at the Isaak house, asking a series of unusual questions. They assumed he was an infiltrator, like a number of police agents sent to spy on radical groups. They had remained distant from him, and Abe Isaak sent a notice to associates warning of "another spy".
Although Czolgosz repeatedly denied Goldman's involvement, the police held her in close custody, subjecting her to what she called the "third degree". She explained their distrust of him, and it was clear she had not had any significant contact with Czolgosz. No evidence was found linking Goldman to the attack, and she was eventually released after two weeks of detention. Before McKinley died, Goldman offered to provide nursing care, referring to him as "merely a human being". Czolgosz, despite considerable evidence of mental illness, was convicted of murder and executed.
Throughout her detention and after her release, Goldman steadfastly refused to condemn Czolgosz' action, standing virtually alone in doing so. Friends and supporters – including Berkman – urged her to quit his cause. But Goldman defended Czolgosz as a "supersensitive being" and chastised other anarchists for abandoning him. Many newspapers, meanwhile, declared the anarchist movement responsible for the murder. In the wake of these events, socialism gained support over anarchism among US radicals. McKinley's successor Theodore Roosevelt declared his intent to crack down "not only against anarchists, but against all active and passive sympathizers with anarchists".
When a Scottish anarchist named John Turner was denied entry into the country, Goldman helped organize a group called the Free Speech League. It enlisted the aid of Clarence Darrow and Edgar Lee Masters, who took Turner's case to the US Supreme Court. Although Turner and the League lost, Goldman considered it a victory of propaganda. She had returned to anarchist activism, but it was taking its toll on her. "I never felt so weighed down," she wrote to Berkman. "I fear I am forever doomed to remain public property and to have my life worn out through the care for the lives of others.
In 1906 Goldman decided to start a publication of her own, "a place of expression for the young idealists in arts and letters". Mother Earth was staffed by a cadre of radical activists, including Hippolyte Havel, Max Baginski, and Leonard Abbott. In addition to publishing original works by its editors and anarchists around the world, Mother Earth reprinted selections from a variety of writers. These included the French philosopher Pierre-Joseph Proudhon, Russian anarchist Peter Kropotkin, German philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche, and British writer Mary Wollstonecraft. Goldman wrote frequently about anarchism, politics, labor issues, atheism, sexuality, and feminism.
On May 18 of the same year, Alexander Berkman was released from prison. Carrying a bouquet of roses, she met him on the platform and found herself "seized by terror and pity as she beheld his gaunt, pale form. Neither was able to speak; they returned to her home in silence. For weeks he struggled to readjust to life on the outside; an abortive speaking tour ended in failure, and in Cleveland he purchased a revolver with the intent of killing himself. He returned to New York, however, and learned that Goldman had been arrested with a group of activists meeting to reflect on Leon Czolgosz. Invigorated anew by this violation of freedom of assembly, he declared "My resurrection has come! and set about securing their release.
Berkman took the helm of Mother Earth in 1907, while Goldman toured the country to raise funds to keep it functional. Editing the magazine was a revitalizing experience for Berkman; his relationship with Goldman faltered, however, and he had an affair with a fifteen-year-old anarchist named Becky Edelsohn. Goldman was pained by his rejection of her, but considered it a consequence of his prison experience. Later that year she served as a delegate from the US to the International Anarchist Congress of Amsterdam. Anarchists and syndicalists from around the world gathered to sort out the tension between the two ideologies, but no decisive agreement was reached. Goldman returned to the US and continued speaking to large audiences.
In the spring of 1908 Goldman met and fell in love with Ben Reitman, the so-called "Hobo doctor". Having grown up in Chicago's tenderloin district, Reitman spent several years as a drifter before attaining a medical degree from the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Chicago. As a doctor, he attended to people suffering from poverty and disease – particularly venereal disease. He and Goldman began an affair; they shared a commitment to free love, but whereas Reitman took a variety of lovers, Goldman did not. She tried to reconcile her feelings of jealousy with a belief in freedom of the heart, but found it difficult.
Two years later Goldman began feeling frustrated with lecture audiences. She yearned to "reach the few who really want to learn, rather than the many who come to be amused". Thus she collected a series of speeches and items she had written for Mother Earth and published a book called Anarchism and Other Essays. Covering a wide variety of topics, Goldman tries to represent "the mental and soul struggles of twenty-one years". In addition to a comprehensive look at anarchism and its criticisms, the book includes essays on patriotism, women's suffrage, marriage, and prisons.
When Margaret Sanger, an advocate of access to contraception, coined the term "birth control" and disseminated information about various methods in the June 1914 issue of her magazine The Woman Rebel, she received aggressive support from Goldman. Sanger was arrested in August under the Comstock Law, which prohibited the dissemination of "obscene, lewd, or lascivious articles – including information relating to birth control. Although they later split from Sanger over charges of insufficient support, Goldman and Reitman distributed copies of Sanger's pamphlet Family Limitation (along with a similar essay of Reitman's). In 1915 Goldman conducted a nationwide speaking tour in part to raise awareness about contraception options. Although the nation's attitude toward the topic seemed to be liberalizing, Goldman was arrested in February 1916 and charged with violation of the Comstock Law. Choosing not to pay a hundred-dollar fine, she spent two weeks in a prison workhouse, which she saw as an "opportunity" to reconnect with those rejected by society.
To this end, she and Berkman organized the No Conscription League of New York, which proclaimed: "We oppose conscription because we are internationalists, antimilitarists, and opposed to all wars waged by capitalistic governments. The group became a vanguard for anti-draft activism, and chapters began to appear in other cities. When police began raiding the group's public events to find young men who had not registered for the draft, however, Goldman and others focused their efforts on spreading pamphlets and other written work. In the midst of the nation's patriotic fervor, many elements of the political left refused to support the League's efforts. The Women's Peace Party, for example, ceased its opposition to the war once the US entered it. The Socialist Party of America took an official stance against US involvement, but supported Wilson in most of his activities.
On June 15, 1917, Goldman and Berkman were arrested during a raid of their offices which yielded "a wagon load of anarchist records and propaganda" for the authorities. The New York Times reported that Goldman asked to change into a more appropriate outfit, and emerged in a gown of "royal purple". The pair were charged with conspiracy to "induce persons not to register under the newly enacted Espionage Act, and were held on US$25,000 bail each. Defending herself and Berkman during their trial, Goldman invoked the First Amendment, asking how the government could claim to fight for democracy abroad while suppressing free speech at home.
We say that if America has entered the war to make the world safe for democracy, she must first make democracy safe in America. How else is the world to take America seriously, when democracy at home is daily being outraged, free speech suppressed, peaceable assemblies broken up by overbearing and brutal gangsters in uniform; when free press is curtailed and every independent opinion gagged? Verily, poor as we are in democracy, how can we give of it to the world?The jury saw it differently, and found them guilty; Judge Julius Marshuetz Mayer imposed the maximum sentence two years' imprisonment, a $10,000 fine each, and the possibility of deportation after their release from prison. As she was transported to Missouri State Penitentiary (now Jefferson City Correctional Center), Goldman wrote to a friend: "Two years imprisonment for having made an uncompromising stand for one's ideal. Why that is a small price.
In prison she was assigned once again to work as a seamstress, under the eye of a "miserable gutter-snipe of a twenty-one-year-old boy paid to get results". She met the socialist Kate Richards O'Hare, who had also been imprisoned under the Espionage Act. Although they differed on political strategy – O'Hare believed in voting to achieve state power – the two women came together to agitate for better conditions among prisoners. Goldman also met and became friends with Gabriella Segata Antolini, an anarchist and follower of Luigi Galleani. Antolini had been arrested transporting a satchel filled with dynamite on a Chicago-bound train. She had refused to cooperate with authorities, and was sent to prison for fourteen months. Working together to make life better for the other inmates, the three women became known as "The Trinity". Goldman was released on September 27, 1919.
Goldman had viewed the Bolshevik revolution as a positive step when it first took place. She wrote in Mother Earth that despite its dependence on Communist government, it represented "the most fundamental, far-reaching and all-embracing principles of human freedom and of economic well-being". By the time she and her fellow deportees neared Europe, however, she expressed fears about what was to come. She was worried about the ongoing Russian Civil War, and the possibility of being seized by anti-Bolshevik forces. The state, anti-capitalist though it was, also posed a threat. "I could never in my life work within the confines of the State," she wrote to her niece, "Bolshevist or otherwise.
These fears were justified, as she quickly discovered. Days after returning to Petrograd (Saint Petersburg), she was shocked to hear a party official refer to free speech as a "bourgeois superstition". As she and Berkman traveled around the country, they found repression, mismanagement, and corruption instead of the equality and worker empowerment they had dreamed of. Those who questioned the government were demonized as counter-revolutionaries, and workers labored under severe conditions. They met with Vladimir Lenin, who assured them that government suppression of press liberties was justified. He told them: "There can be no free speech in a revolutionary period. Berkman was more willing to forgive the government's actions in the name of "historical necessity", but he eventually joined Goldman in opposing the Soviet state's authority.
In March 1921, strikes erupted in Petrograd when workers took to the streets demanding better food rations and more union autonomy. Goldman and Berkman felt a responsibility to support the strikers, stating: "To remain silent now is impossible, even criminal. The unrest spread to the port town of Kronstadt, where a military response was ordered. In the fighting that ensued, six hundred sailors were killed; two thousand more were arrested; and thousands of Soviet troops died. In the wake of these events, Goldman and Berkman decided there was no future in the country for them. "More and more," she wrote, "we have come to the conclusion that we can do nothing here. And as we can not keep up a life of inactivity much longer we have decided to leave.
In December 1921 they left the country and went to the Latvian capital city of Riga. The US commissioner in that city wired officials in Washington DC, who began requesting information from other governments about the couple's activities. After a short trip to Stockholm, they moved to Berlin for several years; during this time she agreed to write a series of articles about her time in Russia for Joseph Pulitzer's newspaper, the New York World. These were later collected and published in book form as My Disillusionment in Russia (1923) and My Further Disillusionment in Russia (1924). The titles of these books were added by the publishers to be scintillating and Goldman protested, albeit in vain.
In 1925, the spectre of deportation loomed again, but a Scottish anarchist named James Colton offered to marry her and provide British citizenship. Although they were only distant acquaintances, she accepted and they were married on June 27, 1925. Her new status gave her peace of mind, and allowed her to travel to France and Canada. Life in London was stressful for Goldman; she wrote to Berkman: "I am awfully tired and so lonely and heartsick. It is a dreadful feeling to come back here from lectures and find not a kindred soul, no one who cares whether one is dead or alive. She worked on analytical studies of drama, expanding on the work she had published in 1914. But the audiences were "awful" and she never finished her second book on the subject.
Goldman traveled to Canada in 1927, just in time to receive news of the impending executions of Italian anarchists Nicola Sacco and Bartolomeo Vanzetti in New York. Angered by the many irregularities of the case, she saw it as another travesty of justice in the US. She longed to join the mass demonstrations in Boston; memories of the Haymarket affair overwhelmed her, compounded by her isolation. "Then," she wrote, "I had my life before me to take up the cause for those killed. Now I have nothing.
In 1928 she began writing her autobiography, with the support of a group of admirers, including journalist H. L. Mencken, poet Edna St. Vincent Millay, and novelist Theodore Dreiser. She secured a cottage in the French coastal city of Saint-Tropez and spent two years recounting her life. Berkman offered sharply critical feedback, which she eventually incorporated at the price of a strain on their relationship. Goldman intended the book, Living My Life, as a single volume for a price the working class could afford (she urged no more than $5.00); her publisher Alfred A. Knopf, however, released it as two volumes sold together for $7.50. Goldman was furious, but unable to force a change. Due in large part to the Great Depression, sales were sluggish despite keen interest from libraries around the US. Critical reviews were generally enthusiastic; the New York Times, New Yorker, and Saturday Review of Literature all listed it as one of the year's top non-fiction books.
In 1933 Goldman received permission to lecture in the United States under the condition that she speak only about drama and her autobiography – but not current political events. She returned to New York on February 2, 1934 to generally positive press coverage – except from Communist publications. Soon she was surrounded by admirers and friends, besieged with invitations to talks and interviews. Her visa expired in May, and she went to Toronto in order to file another request to visit the US. However, this second attempt was denied. She stayed in Canada, writing articles for US publications.
In February and March 1936 Berkman underwent a pair of prostate gland operations. Recuperating in Nice and cared for by his companion, Emmy Eckstein, he missed Goldman's sixty-seventh birthday in Saint-Tropez in June. She wrote in sadness, but he never read the letter; she received a call in the middle of the night that Berkman was in great distress. She left for Nice immediately but when she arrived that morning, Goldman found that he had shot himself and was in a nearly comatose paralysis. He died the next day.
Goldman began to worry about the future of Spain's anarchism when the CNT-FAI joined a coalition government in 1937 – against the core anarchist principle of abstaining from state structures – and, more distressingly, made repeated concessions to Communist forces in the name of uniting against fascism. She wrote that cooperating with Communists in Spain was "a denial of our comrades in Stalin's concentration camps". Russia, meanwhile, refused to send weapons to anarchist forces, and disinformation campaigns were being waged against the anarchists across Europe and the US. Her faith in the movement unshaken, Goldman returned to London as an official representative of the CNT-FAI.
Delivering lectures and giving interviews, Goldman enthusiastically supported the Spanish anarcho-syndicalists. She wrote regularly for Spain and the World, a biweekly newspaper focusing on the civil war. In May 1937, however, Communist-led forces attacked anarchist strongholds and broke up agrarian collectives. Newspapers in England and elsewhere accepted the timeline of events offered by the Second Spanish Republic at face value. British journalist George Orwell, present for the crackdown, wrote: "[T]he accounts of the Barcelona riots in May … beat everything I have ever seen for lying.
Goldman returned to Spain in September, but the CNT-FAI appeared to her like people "in a burning house". Worse, anarchists and other radicals around the world refused to support their cause. The Nationalist forces declared victory in Spain just before she returned to London. Frustrated by England's repressive atmosphere – which she called "more fascist than the fascists – she returned to Canada in 1939. Her service to the anarchist cause in Spain was not forgotten, however. On her seventieth birthday, the former Secretary-General of the CNT-FAI, Mariano Vàzquez, sent a message to her from Paris, praising her for her contributions and naming her as "our spiritual mother". She called it "the most beautiful tribute I have ever received".
As the events preceding World War Two began to unfold in Europe, Goldman reiterated her opposition to wars waged by governments. "[M]uch as I loathe Hitler, Mussolini, Stalin and Franco," she wrote to a friend, "I would not support a war against them and for the democracies which, in the last analysis, are only Fascist in disguise." She felt that England and France had missed their opportunity to oppose fascism, and that the coming war would only result in "a new form of madness in the world". This position was vastly unpopular, as Hitler's attacks on Jewish communities reverberated throughout the Jewish diaspora.
Anarchism, then, really stands for the liberation of the human mind from the dominion of religion; the liberation of the human body from the dominion of property; liberation from the shackles and restraint of government. Anarchism stands for a social order based on the free grouping of individuals for the purpose of producing real social wealth; an order that will guarantee to every human being free access to the earth and full enjoyment of the necessities of life, according to individual desires, tastes, and inclinations.
Goldman's anarchism was intensely personal. She believed it was necessary for anarchist thinkers to live their beliefs, demonstrating their convictions with every action and word. "I don't care if a man's theory for tomorrow is correct," she once wrote. "I care if his spirit of today is correct." Anarchism and free association were to her logical responses to the confines of government control and capitalism. "It seems to me that these are the new forms of life," she wrote, "and that they will take the place of the old, not by preaching or voting, but by living them."
At the same time, she believed that the movement on behalf of human liberty must be staffed by liberated humans. While dancing among fellow anarchists one evening, she was chided by an associate for her carefree demeanor. In her autobiography Goldman wrote:
I told him to mind his own business, I was tired of having the Cause constantly thrown in my face. I did not believe that a Cause which stood for a beautiful ideal, for anarchism, for release and freedom from conventions and prejudice, should demand denial of life and joy. I insisted that our Cause could not expect me to behave as a nun and that the movement should not be turned into a cloister. If it meant that, I did not want it. "I want freedom, the right to self-expression, everybody's right to beautiful, radiant things.
Originally opposed to anything less than complete revolution, Goldman was challenged during one talk by an elderly worker in the front row. In her autobiography, she wrote:
He said that he understood my impatience with such small demands as a few hours less a day, or a few dollars more a week.… But what were men of his age to do? They were not likely to live to see the ultimate overthrow of the capitalist system. Were they also to forgo the release of perhaps two hours a day from the hated work? That was all they could hope to see realized in their lifetime.Goldman realized that smaller efforts for improvement such as higher wages and shorter hours could be part of a social revolution.
Her experiences in Russia led her to reassess her earlier belief that revolutionary ends justified violent means. The repression and authoritarian control of the Soviet Union caused a radical shift in her perspective. Indeed, by 1923 she had nearly reversed her position. In the afterword to My Disillusionment in Russia, she wrote: "There is no greater fallacy than the belief that aims and purposes are one thing, while methods and tactics are another.… The means employed become, through individual habit and social practice, part and parcel of the final purpose….
Nevertheless, she viewed the state as essentially and inevitably a tool of control and domination. As a result, Goldman believed that voting was useless at best and dangerous at worst. Voting, she wrote, provided an illusion of participation while masking the true structures of decision-making. Instead, Goldman advocated targeted resistance in the form of strikes, protests, and "direct action against the invasive, meddlesome authority of our moral code". She maintained an anti-voting position even when many anarcho-syndicalists in 1930s Spain voted for the formation of a liberal republic. Goldman wrote that any power anarchists wielded as a voting bloc should instead be used to strike across the country. She disagreed with the movement for women's suffrage, which demanded the right of women to vote. In her essay "Woman Suffrage", she ridicules the idea that women's involvement would infuse the democratic state with a more just orientation: "As if women have not sold their votes, as if women politicians cannot be bought! She agreed with the suffragists' assertion that women are equal to men, but disagreed that their participation alone would make the state more just. "To assume, therefore, that she would succeed in purifying something which is not susceptible of purification, is to credit her with supernatural powers.
A nurse by training, she was an early advocate for educating women concerning contraception. Like many contemporary feminists, she saw abortion as a tragic consequence of social conditions, and birth control as a positive alternative. Goldman was also an advocate of free love, and a strong critic of marriage. She saw early feminists as confined in their scope and bounded by social forces of Puritanism and capitalism. She wrote: "We are in need of unhampered growth out of old traditions and habits. The movement for women's emancipation has so far made but the first step in that direction.
Goldman viewed crime as a natural outgrowth of an unjust economic system. In her essay "Prisons: A Social Crime and Failure", she quotes liberally from the nineteenth-century authors Fyodor Dostoevsky and Oscar Wilde, and writes: "Year after year the gates of prison hells return to the world an emaciated, deformed, will-less, shipwrecked crew of humanity, with the Cain mark on their foreheads, their hopes crushed, all their natural inclinations thwarted. With nothing but hunger and inhumanity to greet them, these victims soon sink back into crime as the only possibility of existence.
A committed atheist, Goldman viewed religion as another instrument of control and domination. Her essay "The Philosophy of Atheism" quotes Bakunin at length on the subject, and adds:
Consciously or unconsciously, most theists see in gods and devils, heaven and hell, reward and punishment, a whip to lash the people into obedience, meekness and contentment.… The philosophy of Atheism expresses the expansion and growth of the human mind. The philosophy of theism, if we can call it a philosophy, is static and fixed.In essays like "The Hypocrisy of Puritanism" and a speech entitled "The Failure of Christianity", Goldman made more than a few enemies among religious communities by attacking their moralistic attitudes and efforts to control human behavior. She blamed Christianity for "the perpetuation of a slave society", arguing that it dictated individuals' actions on Earth and offered poor people a false promise of a plentiful future in heaven. She was also critical of Zionism, which she saw as another failed experiment in state control.
In 1970, Dover Press reissued Goldman's biography, Living My Life, and in 1972, feminist writer Alix Kates Shulman issued a collection of Goldman's writing and speeches, Red Emma Speaks. These works brought Goldman's life and writings to a larger audience, and she was in particular lionized by the women's movement of the late twentieth century. In 1973 Shulman was asked by a printer friend for a quotation by Goldman for use on a t-shirt. She sent him the selection from Living My Life about "the right to self-expression, everybody's right to beautiful, radiant things"; the printer created a paraphrase that has become one of Goldman's most famous quotations, even though she herself probably never said or wrote it: "If I can't dance I don't want to be in your revolution. Variations of this saying have appeared on thousands of t-shirts, buttons, posters, bumper stickers, coffee mugs, hats, and other items. Although the words are not explicitly Goldman's own, they capture the spirit of her belief in personal liberty and self-expression.
The women's movement of the 1970s that "rediscovered" Goldman was accompanied by a resurgent anarchist movement, beginning in the late 1960s, which also reinvigorated scholarly attention to earlier anarchists. The growth of feminism also initiated some reevaluation of Goldman's philosophical work, with scholars pointing out the significance of Goldman's contributions to anarchist thought in her time. Goldman's belief in the value of aesthetics, for example, can be seen in the later influences of anarchism and the arts. Similarly, Goldman is now given credit for significantly influencing and broadening the scope of anarchist activism to sexual liberty, reproductive rights, and freedom of expression.
Goldman has been depicted in numerous works of fiction over the years, perhaps most notably by Maureen Stapleton, who won an Academy Award for her role as Goldman in Reds. Plays depicting Goldman's life include Howard Zinn's Emma; Martin Duberman's Mother Earth (1991); Jessica Litwak's Emma Goldman: Love, Anarchy, and Other Affairs (Goldman's relationship with Berkman and her arrest in connection with McKinley's assassination); Lynn Rogoff's Love Ben, Love Emma (Goldman's relationship with Reitman); and Carol Bolt's Red Emma. Ethel Mannin's 1941 novel Red Rose is also based on Goldman's Life.
Goldman has been honored by a number of organizations named in her memory. The Emma Goldman Clinic, a women's health center located in Iowa City, Iowa selected Goldman as a namesake "in recognition of her challenging spirit. Red Emma's Bookstore Coffeehouse, an infoshop in Baltimore, Maryland adopted her name out of their belief "in the ideas and ideals that she fought for her entire life: free speech, sexual and racial equality and independence, the right to organize in our jobs and in our own lives, ideas and ideals that we continue to fight for, even today". The Emma Goldman Cooperative House in Madison, Wisconsin (part of the Madison Community Cooperative) also adopted her name, describing itself as "committed to advocating a sustainable and socially just society".

Setting the Standard for Freelance Writers
The National Writers Union/UAW Local 1981 (NWU) is committed to establishing a living wage for all freelance writers. We believe that recent actions by AOL/Huffington Post set a dangerous precedent.
Working without pay should not be the expectation of online publications – or online writers. As the nation's most popular blog, the Huffington Post sets the status quo for other online publications. The NWU is committed to fighting for fair pay for freelance writers. So we want to work with the Huffington Post to set high standards of quality online journalism that fairly compensates its writers. For more campaign updates, sign up at www.PayTheWriter.org
What's Up With the Huffington Post Boycott?
In late October, the National Writers Union/UAW Local 1981 withdrew from the boycott of the Huffington Post. The boycott began after the Huffington Post was acquired by AOL for $315 million last February. NWU and The Newspaper Guild-CWA were electronic picket captains with the support of many, many progressive writers, bloggers and organizations. For now, the boycott has run its course.
But the NWU is continuing and intensifying our Pay The Writer! campaign to establish fair pay rates for freelance journalists working for the Huffington Post and other online publications. On October 11, we held our first national event, a live-streamed panel discussing the future of online freelance journalism (video of the event is available here). We will continue to organize around these principles:
Writers create more than content. We create value and wealth. Just ask Arianna Huffington. Working without pay should not be the expectation of online publications – or online writers. Quality journalism must be justly compensated.
Today we are in touch with hundreds more writers than we were when we started, and some are joining NWU. Over the coming months our organizing drive will become more active and visible, as hundreds and then thousands of freelance writers add their collective knowledge and wisdom to this campaign. We are confident we are gathering the forces that will make Pay The Writer! a reality. Sign up for campaign updates at www.PayTheWriter.org and follow us on Twitter @PayTheWriter.

Relief of a Nobleman
The exact context of this relief is unknown. The anonymous noble's garment and elaborate wig with lotus flower fillet and intricate locks are perfect attire for an offering scene in the underworld.The relief clearly illustrates the legacy of the artistic style championed by Akhenaten, Egypt's so-called heretic pharaoh. The projection of the face and neck beyond the wig and the deep carving of the rear of the head are details that continued long after Akhenaten's reign. The elegant treatmnent suggests that the relief comes from a tomb at Saqqara, a vast cemetery in the region of Memphis. At the left a hand holds a sistrum (or rattle) and a flower. The missing person was surely a woman, either the wife or some other relative of the deceased.

The George Washington Chapter of the Sons of the American Revolution honored two Alexandria deputy sheriffs with Law Enforcement Commendation Medals at a luncheon on Saturday, May 11. Scott Brice Stephens, co-chair of the Public Service and Heroism Awards, and Paul Wagoner, who chairs the ROTC Awards but was assisting Mr. Stephens, presented Lieutenant Melissa Josiah and Deputy Ernesto Arroyo with certificates and medals during the Chapter's lunch meeting at Belle Haven Country Club. Lieutenant Josiah, who was very recently promoted to her current rank, was honored for her work ethic, commitment to excellence and collaborative spirit. Since joining the Sheriff's Office in 1994, she has been assigned to the William G. Truesdale Adult Detention Center where she served as the Special Management Sergeant since 2010. She has also organized the Sheriff's Office Helping Hands team for Spring for Alexandria's Community Service Day for the past three years. This week she began her new assignment as the Watch Commander for Team 2B at the Detention Center. Deputy Arroyo, who has served with the Sheriff's Office since 1995, was recognized for his dedication to the Office, commitment to his colleagues and outstanding leadership with the Honor Guard. Deputy Arroyo has served at the William G. Truesdale Adult Detention Center throughout his career and is a long-standing member of the Honor Guard, where he is assigned as a Team Leader. He takes great pride in his uniform and appearance, and his expertise and instruction have been integral parts of Honor Guard training, which paid off with the team's first place finish in a regional drill competition earlier this month. Lieutenant Josiah was accompanied by her husband Eric Josiah, Deputy Arroyo was accompanied by his wife Amelia Arroyo, and Chief Deputy Clarke Stearns, Chief of the Detention Center Operations Bureau, also attended the luncheon.

This is going to be looooong... if you don't want to read through all that stuff you can just as well scroll down and read the long story short, kinda.
Okay, I know this is wrong. I know this is wrong on so many levels but I thought I'd give it a shot to try and "review" one of the most talked about devices of the last year.
First things first:
- I am located in Germany. That means, that, and I will say more on that later, while the Antenna Problem is undoubtley there, it is not at all as game changing as in the US.
- I will try to be as objective as possible and I hope you are too. If, in any sentence here, I imply that the iPhone is the best device out there, it may be due to a misunderstanding and because my english is not sufficient.
- This is in no way intended to start a flame war, although I already know that this is inevitable. I am sorry in advance for everyone who tries to make this into a question of Android vs Apple because that's not what this is about.
I bought the iPhone 4 because my iPhone 3G contract was running out and I needed a new phone.
In January of this year, I had a short intermezzo with a Motorola Milestone, which I really liked design-wise. Also, I wanted to try out Android, because I found it interesting to see what it was capable of. I really loved it but I eventually went back to my iPhone 3G. That was not due to the fact that Android was, inferior or anything, because it's not.
But I really like polished and good looking UI design and in my experience, most 3rd Party Apps from the Market were not that polished while they certainly did do the job.
I was lucky because I had the 3G lying here and I could just return.
However, when my contract ran out, I was thinking about the Galaxy S and the Desire and of course the iPhone 4.
I ended up buying the iPhone, because I got a nice rebate for being a good customer of Germanys exclusive iPhone provider T-Mobile and I just got used to the iPhone way of handling things.
You can now bash me for being biased but I just wanted to get out of the way that I was not only in the market for the iPhone for iPhones sakes.
So I ended up waiting a few days because of very high demand and got the 32GB iPhone 4 black (of course...).
Antenna issues and hardware goodness
As I said before, I am located in Germany. We have T-Mobile here as the exclusive provider for the iPhone 4. T-Mobile is the biggest provider in Germany and that is a good thing.
Because in most of Germany, the coverage is awesome.
I think that is important, because hearing the stories of dropped calls and Antennagate, I was worried that maybe that would be a downer in general.
But here is my experience:
I can get the bars to drop. When I hold it tightly with my left hand and really try to, the bars drop. But only by 1 or 2. That is, at least I assume so, due to the great overall coverage T-Mobile offers here.
Then again, I never experienced ANY dropped call in 3 years of overall iPhone experience in Germany, so I started to think that it must have something to do with AT&T screwing up big time.
That's a shame for every iPhone user out there, because dropped calls really are something that can break the deal.
Luckily, in Germany and, as far as I've heard, throughout Europe, coverage is not an issue.
On to the hardware on that thing.
Many things have been said and many photos have been made and I think by now, almost everyone had one in hand or at least saw extensive closeup shots of the iPhone 4 itself.
But I gotta say while it looks really, really nice and feels solid in hand, I have a few things that bug me.
Only looking at the sheer beauty of this device is great but in everyday usability, the flat and sandwhich-y design can be a downside.
When it's lying on a flat surface such as... a table, you really have to grab it with your fingertips, because it's so thin. With the 3G, you could slightly lift it due to its curved shape. Now, you really have to apply preassure to the sides in order to get it up there. I experienced once or twice that I had a hard time picking it up. Nothing you really notice and no deal breaker but a minor inconvienience.
Other than that, the hardware strangely feels more solid and on the other hand more fragile that before. I figured that is because of the overall heaviness or let's say "not lightness" of the device and the extensive use of glass.
The Display and some Photos
I did't put this under hardware in general, because the Camera and the Display were the two selling points for me. I really missed the Milestones high res screen when going back to my iPhone back then so I was so looking forward to the iPhone 4s display and I was not disappointed. I will not post any pictures because you probably saw so many comparison shots.. But I got to tell you: The display IS amazing. Sometimes, when I am done calling and just put it on my table without hitting the sleep button and the home screen is still there, it looks like one of those really good dummys you often find at electronic stores, where the interface is printed on where the display is supposed to be. It looks almost... real and not like a display. Photos and videos look great on there and it's a pleasure to zoom into web pages just for fun to see the text being rendered to almost screen-filling dimensions while the background image of the page is of lower DPI and suddenly looks like a bad compressed JPEG.
After a few days of usage it still is awesome but became more of a normal thing. But every time I help my brother finding something on Cydia on my old 3G which he now has, you really learn to appreciate the extra pixels.
What bothers me though is, that everything now is super high resolution and all but apart from great picture quality and the pleasure of looking at the seemingly non-exsistend pixels, you don't really benefit from it.
You don't get extra space in Mail-app or don't see more playlists at once in iPod, like on higher resolution Android-Devices. Apple could have easily added one or two more eMail list entries or something, which would have made the higher res even more useful and awesome.
The camera...
There has been a lot of talk about it when the first real world samples appeared. But I have to say: The camera on this thing is amazing. The pictures are great even in low light and it's perfect for a quick shot of that funny looking dog in front of you... At the end of this post, I will attach some downsized but otherwise not edited samples. Downsized, because that is what you normally do. I, at least.
You take them, put them on your computer and then resize them for Facebook or to send to your Mum, so I figured that that would be the most adequate way of showing how good the pictures look in real world usage. If the demand is there, I will happily provide the full resolution samples aswell.
Day to Day to Night to Day
And now something not at all objective and totally not scientific...
I wake up at 7:30 in the morning. My iPhone wakes me up. The first thing I do is check my mails while still in bed. Coming from a 3G, where Facebook took about 1:30 min to load, it's a pleasure browsing your social whatever on that thing but for someone coming from a 3GS it might be not that stunning.
After being 100% charged when I went to bed, the iPhone now is, after some bedbrowsing on WiFi before falling asweep and some Remote-Action for my bedtime music and waking me up with 3 to 200 times snoozing, which depends on how eager I am to get up, still at a good 98%.
I then put it on my desk, get some coffee and do my RSS-Twitter-Facebook-News morning routine on my computer.
It's about 9-9:15 when I arrive at the office (I work as a social media manager for Vice Magazine Germany). On my way there I listened to some Music and browsed Neowin or my GReader and FB/Twitter. It's still at 95%.
After a day full of work, some subway riding, many phone calls and lot's of music on my way to meetings or other stuff, the phone still is at about 75%.
I would say that's pretty good. 3G on, full brightness but WiFi turned off when I don't need it.
Oh and one dropped call, BTW. In the subway.
But it is not of too much use here to tell you what you can and cannot do with a smartphone. And all of that would've been possible with an Android device aswell. Sure thing.
The rest
Okay. So what is all this about? Was all that text really neccessary?
Yes. And no.
It really is a shame to read about the issues some have with their iPhones. This device is so great, it's so beautiful and everything feels so polished... The animations are fast, iOS4 app switching may be no real multitasking but it's more than enough for me, the music experience is unrivaled IMHO, the iPod app is so well designed and all...
But it's not the perfect phone. You cannot customize it to an extend that some people need to. I don't. I like it the way it is. Custom wallpapers and folders are enough for me. Widgets are nice, yeah, but the phone is so fast, I can just aswell open the FB app, instead of checking the widget. I found myself keeping my homescreens very simple when I had my Milestone. I rather have the phone transform into an eMail client or a Twitter machine than having everything at a glance but not quite complete... kinda half baked.
But that's personal reference. Others might need it differently.
Do I reccomend it? Hell yes!
IF you don't live in the US, that is. Because over there, the Antenna issue really seems to be BIG. But other than that - it's just a great phone.
Get an Android or the iPhone?
I don't give a ****. Get what suits you best. I said that at the end of my 3G review back then. Get what's best for you. If you need root access and deep customization, get an Android, of course. You want polished looks, an easy to use interface? Get an iPhone or an Android. You want gaming? Get an iPhone.
It all comes down to what you do with it, how you feel using it, how it suits you best.
The iPhone is far from perfect but so is Android. I use it at work and at home, it's always there.
But so would be a Desire or Galaxy S.
One thing I never understood was... why fight? Why fight over what someone else is using? I like my iPhone. So what? I don't really like the Android experience. So fckng what?
You don't like the iPhone? Alright! Go ahead. Use what's best for you. What feels best.
And I think that's quite important. Feeling good, when it comes to Gadgets like cell phones. Those things are your everyday companion for the next 12/24/whatever months. What is the point, if it doesn't feel right?
And then, what is the point in trying to convince someone that the device he/she owns and that might work for them is the wrong device, because you know it better, because Android/iPhone/whatever served you best? Who cares?
Personal reference is the key.
So.. To put a way too long story short:
This is my feelings about the iPhone. Maybe and hopefully it will help someone make a decision, in all likelyness it won't but hell... I hope some of you enjoyed reading this.
Please try to keep the BS down, really, I hope I did not offend anyone, I did not steal your time and you leave this topic not thinking "where is the last 15 minutes of my life".
I uploaded the pictures to Flickr. Figured it would be too much here.

It's been two years since the state of Florida made the buying and selling of horse meat a felony...
Posted 01 December 2012 - 16:04
They made it illegal because people were killing wild horses and horses that were the property of other people. There wasn't really a penalty that could be proven once the horse was dead and gone, so they created this law.
Posted 02 December 2012 - 00:45
That sounds ridiculous . The exact same thing could be said of cows. Why wouldn't there be any proof and a possible punishment for stealing a horse from someone? The fact that you ate it doesn't really change the previous act? Really, doesn't make sense at all.
Posted 02 December 2012 - 01:39
There aren't 'wild' cows in Florida. Nor are cows used for anything but milk (which don't make for good meat) or slaughter. So no, the same thing cannot be said for cows.
Posted 02 December 2012 - 02:04
Posted 02 December 2012 - 02:40
Note that it isn't a national law - but a law specific to a single state.
The use of USDA officials to enforce a state-level law is what I find objectionable.
If Florida sees fit to have such a unique law, let the state pay the freight - or, if they are going to use assets of the national government, at least reimburse Uncle Sam's costs.

|Lael Hazan
History of Food in Jewish Italy
Master Chef Giuliano Hazan and his wife Lael are quite a talented pair. Chef Hazan, the son of famous Italian food pioneer Marcella Hazan, is a cookbook writer, teacher and TV personality known for regular guest appearances on the Today Show. His new book (his 4th), Giuliano Hazan's Thirty Minute Pasta (Stewart, Tabori & Chang), offers quick and delicious Italian pasta recipes, most of which can be used as presented, or easily adapted to a kosher kitchen. Visit GiulianoHazan.com for more information and recipes.
Chef Hazan travels internationally and has been sharing his expertise at hands-on classes and demonstrations. Each summer Giuliano and Lael have their own Italian cooking school in Villa Giono, a Renaissance villa, outside Verona in Northern Italy. No, unfortunately it is not kosher — but perhaps, if enough of our KosherEye friends are interested, we can encourage Chef Hazan to create a special course for us. (Do let us know!)
Lael Hazan is a respected food historian and lecturer. Her subject specialties include Italian Jewish history, History of Italian Cuisine and Italian fun food facts! Lael has been kind enough to share an informative article about the history of Jewish Italian Food. Fascinating, thought provoking and delicious.
For KosherEye.com by Lael Hazan
Although Kashrut kept them apart, and most Italian Jewish dishes are the cuisine of poverty, one can find traditional recipes in almost every region in Italy. Just look for the names all'ebraica, alla giudea, alla grega, Rebecchine, Gerusalemme; the names indicate that they are the foods of the Jews. Jewish influence in Italian cooking was present even in ancient Rome; the Garum Catimoniale was a fish sauce made only from fish with scales.
Pellegino Artusi, the foremost food writer of his day, was credited with establishing a national Italian cuisine, in La scienza in cucina e l'arte di mangiare bene (Science of Cooking and the Art of Eating Well), 1910, Firenze, Italy.

Bryan Mills has only recently given up his government career as what he calls, a "preventer" to be near his daughter Kim, who lives with Bryan's ex-wife Lenore and her new husband. To make ends meet, Bryan joins some former colleagues for special security details (like guarding a pop diva), but most of his time and energy are spent re-connecting with Kim. But, when Kim requests his permission to spend time in Paris with a friend, he reluctantly consents. Bryan's worst fears are realized when Kim and her friend Amanda are suddenly abducted - in broad daylight - from the Paris apartment at which they've just arrived. Moments before Kim is dragged away by the as yet unseen and unknown assailants, she manages to phone Bryan, who begins to expertly piece together clues that will take him to the darkness of Paris's underworld, and to the City of Light's plushest mansions. He will face nightmares worse than anything he experienced in black ops - and let nothing and no one stop him from saving his daughter.

PopulationMiner draws upon Intermountain's vast repository of clinical, financial and operational data stored in a warehouse that supports patient-outcome analysis.
New York City –
Deloitte today is announcing the upcoming release of PopulationMiner, a real-world, data-analytics solution for gleaning insights and relationships among drugs and diseases across broad patient populations over time and spanning multiple therapeutic and clinical areas.
Scheduled to be available in November, PopulationMiner works to provide life-sciences organizations more access to the front lines of patient care, a window that can help them develop more personalized medicines based upon clinical data and to do so more quickly using less capital.
"With the shift towards value-based, personalized care, it's key for life-sciences decision makers to have deep insights into complex, real-world populations," said Brett Davis, principal, Deloitte Consulting LLP and general manager of Deloitte Health Informatics. "PopulationMiner enables a better understanding of health and disease by supporting population stratification and advanced analytics based on disease type, stage and comorbid combinations. With a few clicks, this platform can provide an unprecedented level of nuanced insights from millions of patients, leveraging informatics and clinical expertise from Deloitte and Intermountain Healthcare."
PopulationMiner draws upon Intermountain's vast repository of clinical, financial and operational data stored in a warehouse that supports patient-outcome analysis. The solution may allow for the identification of biomarkers using laboratory test results and rapid hypothesis generation and validation across a range of business functions including drug development, drug safety, pharmacoepidemiology and health economics and outcomes research.
PopulationMiner can also produce hypotheses across complex, comorbid patient populations and a pathway for conducting follow on research with the same populations. Users can specify cohorts based on granular criteria and then export these definitions to OutcomesMiner, where the criteria and methods can be further customized in generating reports.
Peter Haug, director of the Homer Warner Center for Informatics Research at Intermountain Healthcare, said "This application is designed to provide insights into a broad range of medical conditions and clinical care. These insights can be leveraged to develop novel research hypotheses and to suggest effective approaches to answering these research questions. It should provide a tool for seeking answers to difficult health-care questions in large collections of clinical data."
Such capabilities are critical to the success of accountable care organizations (ACOs), said Scott Kolesar, principal, Deloitte Consulting LLP and leader of Deloitte's Value-based Care practice. "PopulationMiner aims to provide organizations with an integrated comparative analytics platform so that they can discover opportunities to dramatically enhance the quality of care delivery while reducing costs," said Kolesar.

The Wilson College field hockey team traveled to Winchester, Virginia today to face off against Shenandoah University in their first game of the 2013 season. Shenandoah defeated Wilson by a final score of 7-0.
Shenandoah got on the board early in the match when hornet Ashley Cross scored unassisted in just over nine minutes of play. The offensive momentum stayed on Shenandoah's side when they added another goal by Liz Grover later in the half. Wilson was not able to put any pressure on the Shenandoah defense and could not string together any offensive production in the half.
Shenandoah added a cushion to their lead in the second half, making it difficult for Wilson to make a late comeback. The hornets scored another pair of goals back to back early in the half against the Phoenix while adding three more later in the half. Unfortunately, Wilson could not put together a late rally, and tallied just one shot on goal in the contest.
Sophomore Taylor Crouse and freshman Lauren Hampton recorded a shot apiece for Wilson. Sophomore goalkeeper Gina Weigold totaled three saves in the game.
Wilson looks for their first win of the season, as they host Dickinson College for their home opener on Wednesday, September 4th at 4:30pm.
