(photo credit:REUTERS/Ibraheem Abu Mustafa)
There were no signs whatsoever on Thursday that Hamas was interested in a
cease-fire with Israel at this stage.In past rounds of fighting, Hamas
leaders used to appeal, both openly and discreetly, to the Egyptians to
intervene in order to achieve another truce with Israel.But the assassination of Ahmed Jabari, overall commander of
Hamas's armed wing, the Izzadin Kassam Brigades, has hurt the Islamist movement
so badly that it feels the strong and urgent need to restore not only its lost
dignity, but also the shattered morale of its members and supporters in the
aftermath of the elimination of Jabari.Unconfirmed reports that Hamas
has "begged" the Egyptians to broker another cease-fire with Israel have been
strongly denied by the movement's leaders and spokesmen in the Gaza
Strip.Hamas feels that with the killing of such a senior figure it has
lost its balance of power vis-a-vis Israel, and will agree to a cease-fire only
after it feels that it has extracted a heavy price from Israel for the death of
its military commander.Failure to extract such a price from Israel will
undermine Hamas's credibility not only among its Palestinian supporters, but
also in the eyes of many Arabs and Muslims.Immediately after the
assassination of Jabari, Hamas leaders and spokesmen threatened to "open the
gates of hell" before Israel and to trigger an "earthquake under the feet of the
Zionists."Now Hamas is seeking to live up to its promise to avenge his
death by killing as many Israelis as possible.On Thursday, shortly after
Jabari was brought to burial, Hamas announced the beginning of "Operation Stones
of Shale" by firing dozens of rockets and missiles at Israel.The name of
the offensive is derived from the Koran, where it is mentioned that Allah sent
swarms of birds to smite the "people of the elephants with stones of baked clay
and made them like straw eaten up [by cattle]."The "people of the
elephants" is a reference to the army of the powerful military commander King
Abraha, who led an expedition to destroy the Ka'bah, the cuboid-shaped building
in Mecca that is the most sacred site in Islam.Hamas believes that
Israel is not interested in dragging on the confrontation for a lengthy period.
The movement is also convinced that Israel will not send ground troops into the
Gaza Strip.Nevertheless, Hamas officials acknowledged Thursday that they
are aware of the fact that it's only a matter of time before the Egyptians
manage to reach another cease-fire deal with Israel.But before Hamas
agrees to a ceasefire, it wants to show that it is capable of making Israel pay
a heavy price for killing one of its most prominent commanders.

Questions for Meghan Daum on Life Would Be Perfect If I Lived in That House
Q: In Life Would Be Perfect If I Lived in That House, you detail your lifelong obsession with real estate and your quest for a place to call home. What does "home" mean to you? How has that meaning evolved over the years?
A: Asking what "home" means is like asking what "love" means. And, as I say in the book, I have a pet peeve about people referring to houses as homes, especially if theyre talking in terms of real estate or about properties as physical, purchasable entities. "I just bought a new home," someone will say. Really? What does that mean? You bought a feeling, a mélange of smells, a history? No, you bought a house! In my mind, you buy a house but you make a home.
Q: In your book you say, "I wanted to live on another block, in another part of town, in New York, in Paris, on the moon." Why the constant desire to move around?
A: The open houses my parents took me to as a child probably were a factor. We didnt do sports or play games or relax much on weekends, but my mother was always up for open houses and, moreover, the idea of moving to a new house. I definitely inherited my restlessness from her. Ive also found that moving functions as something of a stimulant for me. During the process of moving out of an old place and getting settled in a new place I find I become more energetic, more excited about my surroundings and more motivated about my life trajectory. And being in a new place just naturally makes you more observant. Its like I can feel a set of antennas rising from my skull as I pull into a new town or neighborhood. And thats a rush; I cant deny it.
Q: After several years in New York, you moved to Lincoln, Nebraska. What attracted you to such a different place? How much of a factor was the high price of real estate in New York in your decision to relocate?
A: The reason I give most often for moving to Nebraska is, yes, the less expensive cost of living (its the most easily explained.) I rented a large apartment with beautiful woodwork in Lincoln for about a sixth of what it would have cost me in Manhattan. I was in a lot of debt from student loans and various other things, so I framed my decision around my financial picture. But that belied a deeper, less tangible and infinitely more pressing reason that I went to Nebraska, which is that I felt an almost chemical urge to radically change my surroundings. As enamored as Id been in my teens and 20s of New York City, I always nursed a constant, low-grade crush on the idea of rural life and, specifically, the aesthetics of the prairie. Some of that, Ill admit, came from having watched the Little House on the Prairie series on television and reading the books as a kid. I was consumed with the idea of homesteading, so much so that I made my mother sew me a sunbonnet so I could run around like Laura Ingalls. She also put an extra box spring under my bed and leaned a step ladder against it so I could climb up to it as though it were Laura and her sisters loft bed. Even as I grew older and outgrew Laura Ingalls I remained enthralled with the aura surrounding the high plains. I loved--and still love--the starkness of that geography, the huge sky, the scarcity of the trees, the drama of the weather. But because its easier to tell yourself and others that youre uprooting your life and moving to the central plains in order to save money rather than to watch a hail storm through the window of a rattling farmhouse, I basically went with that story. Not that the money part isnt true; I desperately needed to get out of debt. But there are ways to do that that dont involve hailstorms, so clearly something else was at work.
Q: When you eventually moved to L.A., you had a hard time letting go of life in Nebraska, and nearly bought a farmhouse there as a vacation home. Why do you think you had such a hard time leaving Lincoln for good? Does the allure of a farmhouse still call to you?
A: The farmhouse definitely still calls to me! When I moved to L.A. I missed Nebraska terribly, not just for the obvious reason of missing the friends Id made there but also for (again this is intangible and a bit tricky to explain) the entire mood of the place. I could describe that mood as "laid back" but that doesnt quite get to it. Its more like I detected in Nebraska a sort of peaceful coexistence with reality. That sounds kind of sophomoric and pretentious, I know, but I guess what Im saying is that I noticed a greater acceptance there of the messiness and absurdity of life. That acceptance can be difficult to find in places where the financial stakes are higher and people tend to be harder driving in the conventional sense and more invested in achieving some notion of perfection. As a former New Yorker, that kind of mentality was, alas, quite a novelty to me. And after soaking it up for nearly four years I landed in a canyon north of Los Angeles surrounded by a lot of wealthy people who wore their "laid backness" like designer jeans while they were in fact so anxious that their pets were on Xanax (true.) So in the midst of that I found myself craving that stark geography again. And every time I go back to Nebraska, which is at least once a year, I feel just so exhilarated when that plane touches down.
Q: After taking the big real-estate plunge, you met, dated, and eventually married your now husband. Do you think theres any sort of karmic connection between the two?
A: Id like to say yes but Id probably be lying. I was in that house for two years before I met or even really tried to meet someone (because in my mind it wasnt enough to own a house; it had to be totally fixed up.) And I wasnt even finished when I met my now-husband, since I made him shop for antique kitchen drawer pulls on our first date. I think it was mostly luck--and the fact that he called me for a second date even after I dragged him to an architectural salvage yard.
Q: What is it about real estate that draws such a following? Why are so many Americans so obsessed with the size, location, and style of their home? Do you think theres a deeper meaning to this fixation?
A: The essence of this book is really an examination of the emotions that inform these obsessions. Yes, its a book about houses. But its also about how we see ourselves in the world vis-à-vis our family, our social class, our aspirations, and our fears. The way Ive always thought of it, a house is ultimate metaphor. Its more than just shelter for ourselves and for our loved ones, more than just "the biggest purchase youll ever make." Its like a really expensive, high-maintenance, inanimate version of ourselves. Its a repository for every piece of baggage weve ever carried. Our homes protect us from the outside world, show our off taste, and accommodate our stuff. Perhaps above all, they prove to ourselves and to the world that weve truly moved out of our childhood bedrooms. You dont have to be a real estate junkie, I think, to feel this way.

Meghan Daum is one of the most celebrated nonfiction writers of her generation, widely recognized for the fresh, provocative approach with which she unearths hidden fault lines in the American landscape. From her well-remembered New Yorker essays about the financial demands of big-city ambition and the ethereal, strangely old-fashioned allure of cyber relationships to her dazzlingly hilarious riff in Harper's about musical passions that give way to middle-brow paraphernalia, Daum delves into the center of things while closely examining the detritus that spills out along the way. She speaks to questions at the root of the contemporary experience, from the search for authenticity and interpersonal connection in a society defined by consumerism and media; to the disenchantment of working in a "glamour profession"; to the catastrophic effects of living among New York City's terminal hipsters. With precision and well-balanced irony, Daum implicates herself as readily as she does the targets that fascinate and horrify her. In a review of The KGB Bar Reader, in which Daphne Merkin singled out Daum's essay about the inability to mourn a friend's death, Merkin wrote: "It's brutally quick, the way this happens, this falling in love with a writer's style. Daum's story hooked me by the second line. Hmm, I thought, this is a writer worth suspending my routines for."

Rolling Stone: Kid Rock Brings Good Times, Wears Many Hats at Raucous Jersey Show
Two years ago, Kid Rock changed the way he approached touring. Rather than charge a week's pay for tickets, he cut the price of most seats to 20 dollars and recouped via sponsorship and beer sales. The crowd had no doubt contributed generously to the latter, but that alone could not explain the enthusiasm last night at New Jersey's PNC Bank Arts Center; audience members were so worked up that even the late-set commercial break earned a standing ovation...
Read full article here.
- Love Kid Rock and all that he does, can't wait to see him and the TBT on 8/11 ❤💋 rebeccagarontakos

- The Greatest Show on Earth. A must see for sure. Just maybe one day he will add more shows to Jersey since we love he so much. He had to be feeling the love (and the heat) last night JJinJersey
- I do not understand how Rob Richie could have a 1/2 black child and still run around the country draped in a confederate flag and spewing love for the south when he is not even Southern! Does the black mother of his child appreciate that? Does she think that flag is just a southern symbol? Symbol of what? Pissed off southerners who STILL cannot accept that black people are equal and protected by our country. Disgusting and absolutely bewildering. rhondahowell808
It's On!

a little tip from me
The Hundred Islands is Pangasinan's best-known attraction. It is a cluster of small white sand beaches on coral islets. During high tide, you won't be able to see all these islands. If seas are rough, crossing to the islands may be unsafe. Sea conditions occasionally render some islands inaccessible while others are easily reached but if the...more

Occasions for Style
Weddings, parties, proms, and more: it's time to shake off the winter with occasions for celebration.
Overall a good sweater. A little lighter weight than I thought it would be. A small snag in the sweater when I got it but didn't want to go through the hassel of return....
You be the envy of all of your friends when you wear this fabulous and stylish sleek, long-sleeve V-neck sweater. The designer sweater top was made by Cable & Gauge and features a V-neck, bold black and blue stripes, and Dolman sleeves.
ITEM#: 14192788Add a stylish touch to your wardrobe with this fashionable sweater top from Cable & Gauge. Dolman sleeves and a striped pattern finish this top.

I first want to say that I truly like, nearly love the Cable & Gauge sweaters. However, this one is acrylic and I'm not totally in love with it, but I do like it. The reason I bought it is because I like dolman sleeves and they seem to be "in" right now, also I happened to like the striped pattern, and also the v-neck style of this sweater. I've worn it a few times now, and it's very serviceable, but just not a "joy" to wear. I do love the royal blue color with the black, I only wish it was made of a natural fiber such as cotton. Not much else to say here, but that I AM satisfied with this item, just not overly so.Read More

"Large" can mean almost anything--as can "medium" and "small," of course--This sweater will be a wardrobe staple, and the light weave will make it summer-wearable. (Not see-through, thank the gods; there's too much of that around these days for an aging woman's comfort.) The stripes *are* horizontal and the center seam tends to make it hike a little bit at the waist, but no serious objections and the illustration is quite accurate.Read More

'Excellent high-ISO-sensitivity photos'
'Every physical control you could ever want'
'Incredible low light sensitivity in video'
'Extremely well built'
'Practical feature set contribute to the Nikon D5100's strengths.'
'Low-light performance is outstanding with this camera, and the level of detail captured by the D5100 is excellent, even at higher ISOs.'
'high quality 16.2 megapixel sensor'
'I give this camera 4 stars because the HDR feature was a big selling point and it is useless by my standard.'
'very good noise reduction'
'high enough shutter speed'
'high resolution'
'very responsive camera'
'High-quality LCD.'
'Sony's first translucent-mirror camera offers impressive continuous-autofocus capabilities, an amazing burst mode, and excellent image quality to go along with its smaller size. '
'excellent camera'
'high iso performance'
'+ high ISO performance is excellent.'
'beautiful pictures'
'the camera is nice with many customizations possible.'
'very nice portrait lens'
'Large 3-inch LCD.'
'It's a strong look as the D3100 succeeds in out-classing a number of DSLR cameras classed as "higher spec" in various manufacturers' ranges. '
'exceptionally low noise'
'The camera also sports a significantly redesigned weather-sealed body, and the new viewfinder has an LCD overlay for providing additional information, like an on-demand grid and electronic levels. and this is the first EOS dSLR to incorporate wireless flash. '
'Excellent still-image and HD-video quality.'
'And, unlike Canon's smaller consumer range the 450D or 500D , for instance the grip is practically sized for grown up hands, and feels like the body will be perfectly balanced paired with one of Canon's L-series telephoto lenses. '
'Solid body.'
'Judged on its own merits, the Nikon D3S is an absolutely outstanding camera. '
'The D3s, like the D3, inspires a great degree of confidence for photographers who use and abuse their cameras in tough environments. '
'All this is housed within a secure and rocket magnesium alloy construction effectively protecting from moisture'
'It's great! '
'Like most D-SLRs, the E-5 isn't exactly compact—it weighs a seriously hefty 1.97 pounds and measures a considerable 4.6 by 5.6 by 2.9 inches (HWD).'
'During the review, the Olympus E-5 produced images of very good quality.'
'Overall, the Olympus E-5 produces beautiful pictures in a variety of conditions. '
'Steep price in comparison to competition.'
'A middle-of-the-pack performer, with the exception of very fast start-up times, the D3000 doesn't improve much on the D60. '
'The Nikon D3000 looks and feels expensive; its build is similar to the more-expensive ($999 list, body only) Nikon D90 , but it's more compact (1.16 pounds) with a smaller grip and fewer buttons. '
'If you're an enthusiast photographer and want to learn more about how to take photos in different situations, there is probably no better camera to get your hands on than the Nikon D3000. '
'Images are sharp and have good color.'

Major League Baseball's legendary outcast, Pete Rose, and his adoring wife, Kiana Kim, have to keep the money rolling in somehow, so what better way to get a quick and easy paycheck than by starring in a local, low budget commercial for a furniture store? And seriously, this bad boy has it all. Hackneyed acting? Check. Horrible production values? Awkward posing and absurd dialog? Check. Paula Deen furniture? You betcha. Wait. Paula Deen furniture? What the fungus? Is the stuff made out of butter, y'all? Anyhoo, Pete Rose, Kiana Kim and some random sales lady from Muenchen's Furniture in Cincinnati are perusing the available furniture on the showroom floor as the happy couple cannot seem to agree on which item to purchase, as there is so much stuff each of them "just have to get." It's a nearly flawless exercise in terrible advertising. Watch and enjoy. I cannot stop watching this train wreck. It gets better with each viewing. And by better, I mean worse, but in a good way. With the way Pete and Kiana are so natural, comfortable and relatable in front of the camera, it's a shock that the couple's reality show on TLC totally bombed and subsequently was deep-sixed by the network. [H/T Hardball Talk] TweetThe post Sweet fancy Moses, Pete Rose's furniture store commercial is brilliant (video) appeared first on Sportress of Blogitude.

Flickr Hive Mind is a data mining tool for the Flickr database of photography. Flickr Hive Mind is a search engine as well as an experiment in the power of Folksonomies. All thumbnail images come directly
from Flickr, none are stored on Flickr Hive Mind. These photos
are bound by the copyright and license of their owners, the thumbnail links take to you to the photos
(as well as their copyright and license details) within Flickr. Because some other search engines (Google, etc.) index parts of
Flickr Hive Mind, you may have been led here from one of them. Welcome to Flickr Hive Mind, almost certainly the best search engine for photography on the web. If you are a Flickr
user and use Flickr Stats you
may have seen people being led to your photos via Flickr Hive Mind (as a Referrer).
Flickr requires that I inform you that Flickr Hive Mind uses the Flickr API, but is neither endorsed nor certified by them.
There are literally hundreds of other web tools built around the Flickr API, see
Flickr Bits for a bunch of examples.
If you are unhappy with your photos' presence on this site, you can (a)
make your photos private for yourself, friends, and family. These settings will be instantly honored by
Flickr Hive Mind and all other API-driven applications. (b) Hide your photos globally from text and tag searches on 3rd party sites that use the Flickr API, via your preference settings on Flickr. See the privacy tab at:
http://flickr.com/account/. To also remove yourself from searches for specific user names, you will need to set your Flickr profile to be hidden from searches. Flickr has finally created a single page with all these settings, this is much easier to do now and is the preferred method - it will shut down all API driven sites.
(c) Finally, you can
Banish Yourself
From Flickr Hive Mind. To banish yourself from Flickr Hive Mind, you must first authenticate to Flickr, which lets Flickr Hive Mind identify who you are. Once logged in, come back to this area
and there will be a link to banish you. If there are any problems email me at nosflickrhivemind ... at ... fiveprime ... dot ... org. (a few people with weird characters in their user names may have had problems)Log In To Flickr Now
Flickr Hive Mind is a data mining tool for the Flickr photography database, allowing search by: tags(keywords); Flickr photography groups; Flickr users, their contacts, and favorites; free text; the Flickr Explore algorithm for interestingness. Flickr Hive Mind can also be an effective tool to identify photography with licenses that allow non-commercial (and sometimes) commercial use. Written by:
Nathan Siemers.
Inspired by (and thanks to) Flickr Leech.
Dedicated to
Anna and her Flickritis.
If you find your login does not work, perhaps your browser has disabled the cookies that I use to track your session. Try telling your browser to accept them.
Flickr Hive Mind stores no
personal information nor photos,
but some general time and IP address information ends up in my apache server logs. For additional details see the privacy policy.
Any revenue generated through advertisement on this site is used only to cover the cost of keeping the site online, beyond that Fiveprime donates to charitable organizations (also, there are no ads on User pages). Flickr Hive Mind is currently consuming about 13.6 terabytes of network bandwidth per year (not including the photos themselves)!
