An Interview with Inge Auerbacher
By Reema Sanghvi and Kevin Johnson
Cold Spring Harbor High School, New York
Inge Auerbacher, Holocaust survivor and author of the book I Am a Star, was born in Kippenheim, Germany and spent the years 1942-45 in the Terezín concentration camp in Czechoslovakia. Because she believes strongly in Holocaust education, Inge writes and lectures frequently on this subject. She agreed to be interviewed by our staff on January 22, 1994.
What were your earliest memories of the Holocaust?
The Holocaust really began for me on the night of Kristallnacht. In my town it began on November 10, in the morning; I wasn't even four years old yet. I remember waking up quite early in the morning; we were awakened by the police. My grandparents had come to see us in the village of about 2,000 people. My grandfather was quite orthodox. He went to morning synagogue. There was a knock on the door. My father was told to get dressed and report to city hall. We recalled that we had heard about the unrest in Berlin.
I remember soon afterwards there was a mob going through the streets throwing stones at the Jewish houses. My mother saw how the Ten Commandments on top of the synagogue were broken. The glass all around us was broken. We were going to hide in the shed outside our house; it was like a riot. When we were just about to leave, a man came up to our window and saw the chandelier and said, "Hey, there is one still standing there." Then he took aim. He meant to hit the chandelier but almost hit my head instead. My mother grabbed me and hid me in the shed in the courtyard the whole day. That whole day people banged on the door.
We spent the night at a Jewish friend's house. We spent the next day boarding up the windows on the houses of Jewish friends. The synagogue had been destroyed, but it was not burned because of the fire threat to all the neighboring Christian houses.
The next day one of the soldiers came to my mother's house with a basket filled with ties and belts and other things. He said that those were the remains of our men. My mother asked if they were still alive because my grandfather who had been praying in the synagogue was taken. We later found out that they were taken to the Dachau concentration camp.
Somehow, after about six weeks, my grandfather returned, but it was only because my mother went to an SS embassy and showed them a bogus ticket that we were on our way out. When my father and grandfather got home, they told us what had happened. My father was a very decorated war veteran, and so we never thought they would do anything to him. He was disabled during World War I.
At that point we decided to leave. My grandfather and father told us what had happened to them in the camp. Of course, their clothes were taken from them, and they had to wear the blue and white striped uniform. They had to stand for roll call for hours and hours in the freezing cold. And if someone even so much as wanted to blow his nose, because it was cold, they hosed him down with cold water.
My father was there for about six weeks, and when he came back, we decided to sell the house. It had to be sold at a very cheap price, and we moved in with my grandparents at the end of May hoping to get out of Germany. My grandfather had a bad heart anyway, but soon after we arrived, he died, not only of a bad heart, but of a broken heart. We had been living in Germany for so long that we became part of the German community, except we had a different religion. My grandfather never wanted to leave Germany. He said that he was born in Germany and that was where he wanted to die, and that is what happened in May of '39.
I did not experience any antisemitism before that. My friends in the village of Kippenheim, where I was born, were all Jewish. I did not really have any Christian friends at that time. I was the last Jewish child born in that village. I really did not experience any prejudice, and I did not really know that I was different. We lived a comfortable life side-by-side with our Christian neighbors. In a way, we also had our separate life within that community, the life was centered around the synagogue. Everybody went on Saturday morning; it was our Shabbat. It was a very closely knit group; we took care of each other. But in the midst of a non-hostile world, I could not say that it was always so non-hostile. There were always some undercurrents of hostility against Jews. Of course, I never felt this; my parents told me this. I didn't feel it until the day it mattered, and that was the day the Holocaust began for me.
Do you remember life before the Holocaust?
As I said, I played with my Jewish friends. I spent a lot of time at my grandparents' house, about 200 miles away, and there I had only Christian friends because my grandparents were the last Jewish family living in their little village.
How quickly did the German takeover occur?
The Nazi takeover from 1938 went very quickly. The Nuremberg Laws came out very quickly after that. And the erosion of Jewish life happened very quickly after Kristallnacht. After that, we weren't real citizens anymore. We really had no more rights from that time on. In 1939-1941, we lived in this little village, Jebenhausen. Most of the people there, including my grandparents, were cattle dealers. Even today when I see anything that has to do with cows, I am reminded of that happy time in my life. In that village, there was not that bad feeling. Although my grandparents were the only remaining Jews there, people never treated us any differently. I really had many friends there.
This village was close to 50% Jews, until recently. They lived on two different streets, and were invited there by the Count of Leibwenhauser, to pay taxes. While I was there, I had many Christian friends. I ran up and down with them singing their songs, the Nazi songs. They took me in as one of their own.
Did you think of yourself as a German first and then as a Jew?
No, as a child, I didn't think much about it. My parents were first Jewish and then German. We were an assimilation; we still had our religion as our foremost priority.
How do you feel about the German people as a whole?
I resent the ones who did this to us, but I cannot condemn the young ones today who did not do it. There were some good people whom we are still friends with today. There were some, like my maid, who would risk their lives to come in the middle of the night and give us prayer books, food, and pictures (which appear in the book). There was a school to teach the Jews despite the ban on their learning. Recently, I met up with some of my old friends from that time, and I still feel gratitude towards them. I don't "hate" the present German generation because to hate is to be comsumed by negative energy. I'd rather do something positive.
Do you feel we have learned from the Holocaust?
Yes, we have learned, but if we are silent, nothing will ever happen! To be a bystander, to do nothing makes you guilty too! Today, I live in a diversified community. We must all learn not to fear others. I am lucky to live in such a community. All of us have the same problems and concerns. We all worry about our children, food and health. We are all the same.
Would you ever want to go back to Germany?
I would love to go back to Germany. Some of the people who live there have never seen a Jew. I can only imagine what they think one is. The synagogue which had been desecrated and used to store animal fodder has now been taken over by an artist and used as a studio.
What do you think of the movie Schindler's List?
I think that there are enough "real" accounts; I want real testimony from real survivors (like [Lanzmann's] Shoah). I am worried about revisionists trying to alter, in any way, what happened. However, the movie will help to bring this subject into the light and give it more attention. It really showed the degradation and fear of the situation.
Why do you feel survivors go to see Schindler's List?
I feel they want to see how the story is being told, and if the Holocaust was properly depicted.
Have your beliefs in God changed since the Holocaust?
I am not so Orthodox. Yes, I still have my faith; this whole thing has made me more respectful of other faiths.
Who do you think did this? Was God involved?
God gave man free will, and man did it.
What do you think about what's going on in Yugoslavia?
We're repeating a story. It's horrible. I could never envision that these people would take up and go to war against each other. But they have; they are two powers that are fighting against each other and a lot of lives are being lost senselessly. For what? They lived together before; why can't they live together now? Why can't they accept that other people are different and let them go to a mosque or church or synagogue. It's a religious war and is due to segregation.
How does this compare to the Holocaust?
You can never really say that this is another Holocaust. The Holocaust must remain unique. And I hate it when it is used in terms of the "Atomic Holocaust," or of "The Cockroach Holocaust." It was a once in a lifetime experience when war was declared on all Jewish people. Events in Yugoslavia are different from the Holocaust because they involve two warring powers; the Holocaust was a war on all Jewish people. Given the chance, Hitler would have declared war on all people. He already had declared war on black people also; as a matter of fact, they were some of the first people he had killed at the start of the war.
What was the concentration camp like?
It was called Terezín, and it was a transitive, holding area one step before Auschwitz. It held a lot of distinguished people, doctors, and lawyers, and there were a lot of old people there also. It was really, just a holding area, for the camps to the East. I had a friend there who was a Christian, a Christian girl.
I remember that at the end of the war there were gas chambers that were being built so that all the survivors could be gassed and killed, but they had not been completed. Once the liberation of Auschwitz and other camps, my camp began to be filled up by all the survivors who were being pushed on death marches into my camp to be killed by gassing or by drowning. The Nazis could have done this by opening up the dam and letting the river flow though my camp, which was more like a fortress.
Are you familiar with the book, I Never Saw Another Butterfly?
Yes, but I was not familiar with any of the children who were published. I was mainly with the Czech children. There was a children's boarding house where many children were held.
In your book, I remember you talking about the way the Germans lived?
Well, they had a swimming pool and everything. There was a woman who lived by the camp, and I recently interviewed her. They had horses and everything; they had stolen everything.
You said you had gone back to your home town and seen everything?
It happened; my mother heard the sound of our old clock. the carpet that was on the ground was ours, and the town had so many of our belongings.
What groups should be involved in Holocaust learning?
Everyone should.
Do you know what countries study the Holocaust?
China, many of the European countries, where my book has been published.
What kept you alive?
Pure luck, I mean there were bodies all around, and I couldn't do anything. I mean there was hope, hope for the meal we would have one day and what we were going to do. But there were bodies all around and all that kept me alive was pure luck.
What was your worst experience?
The worst experience I ever had was on November 11, 1943, and they said people were missing in the camp. We didn't know there were so many people who came and went. We were told that we had to be counted, and they kept us out in the cold, and we were surrounded by guns. They probably had plans to kill us. I was afraid that I was going to be killed; I had real fear. It was an awful situation.
Student Art by AETI Staff Artist Jeff Renert
One of the saddest times I had was when my girlfriend was sent to Auschwitz. I was actually envious of her, because I wanted to leave too. But she gave me her doll's clothing to take care of until we met again. We were really close; we shared bunk beds for two years. She was Christian, and I remember that she prayed every night. And her father made sure she remained a Christian.
Do you have any other books coming out?
I have another book that will be coming out soon. It tells about coming to America and the struggles after, and having to spend time in a hospital because I was sick with malnutrition, and I had to learn more because I only had a first grade education.
What message do you have for future generation?
Not to be afraid, to be tolerant and have a heart, and to love with your heart. Be a brother or a sister to some one.
Do you believe in using computers to study the Holocaust?
Sure. In 20 to 30 years, we're all going to be gone. All the survivors are going to be gone, and there has to be something that will remain to teach people. As long as it's honest. I mean there are a multitude of rumors, and we have to teach people the truth.
Have you ever written any poetry for the book?
Yes, I have a poem entitled, "A Conversation with God," where I asked why he took my girlfriend away, and if he made the right decision in leaving me. Unfortunately, it was cut from the English edition, but the idea remained in the German edition.
Do you mind being interviewed?
No, every time I am interviewed, I learn about myself, and everyone should believe that there is something special about themselves. And there is where I got the title I Am a Star for my book.
What do you remember about the Red Cross?
I remember when the Red Cross began to examine the camps But they were only showed a cleaned-up area with bogus money and schools, and they saw football games. There still exist Red Cross videos that show a football game and a life that wasn't really there. It was like a theatrical event. I remember I wanted to be in the film, and my mother told me not to. She said never to volunteer for anything. The Red Cross gave out bread and everything, but after they left, the Germans took everything back, and we were sent back to our normal life.
What was the goal in writing your book?
Well, I am not getting any younger, and I wanted to bring out the lessons of what occurs when hatred interferes, and I wanted everyone to feel special about themselves. No matter who you are you are a star, and you should feel good about who yourself. We all have a right to exist. And if this is said enough, maybe it will get through.

The Benefits of Mango Wood Furniture
Furniture is necessary for people to be able to live and work in specific spaces, be it interior or exterior. In other words, furniture is any object intended to facilitate man's life and work while in a space.
What makes a bedroom a bedroom, or an office an office? Surely, these two rooms are interior spaces that contain furniture. The difference between a bedroom and an office may very well be the kind of furniture that each possesses. The bedroom contains a bed, night stands, a chest of drawers, a television, etc. The office contains filing cabinets, desks, chairs, etc. Now, having explained what furniture is, and how important it is for a person's life, it is important to go ahead and talk about one of the most popular and high-quality types of furniture available: mango wood furniture.
When people look for furniture, they look for quality, durability, comfort, and beauty. Mango furniture delivers on all of these fronts, and it is precisely because of this that people all over the world started to notice it. The best pieces are usually the largest as they show of the grain and patterned wood, pieces such as mango wardrobes, mango dining tables, mango bookcases and mango sideboards are the best at this.
Mango wood furniture is made from the wood of the mango tree, a wood that stands out over all others due to its unique coloring, its strength, and its lightweight nature. This wood allows for a wide array of furniture, given that its colouring may vary from shades of light brown to the darkest browns. Sometimes shades of grey, pink, orange, and green can also be found on the mango wood, thus adding to its beauty and diversity.
Second of all, given that it is a hardwood; it is extremely tough and durable, which makes for very strong and reliable furniture. Third, despite it being a hardwood, it is not heavy like mahogany or oak, but rather light, which allows for more versatile and modern designs.
Finally, given that mango trees are grown for their tasty fruit, thus rendering its wood merely a byproduct of the mango tree, mango furniture is much cheaper than other kinds of hardwood furniture available in the market. Mango trees are not grown for their wood, but for their fruit, and because of this, mango wood is remarkably economical.
Evidently, Indian mango wood furniture offers numerous benefits to anyone who decides to include it in their home or office. It facilitates man's life in ways that other kinds of furniture are unable to. Because of this, it should come as no surprise that more and more people have recognized the benefits of this kind of furniture.

The cloud. Like a comic book superhero, there seems to be no problem it can't fix or cost it can't slash. Yet making the transition is not always easy and production environments are still largely on premise. Taking some practical and sensible steps to reduce risk can also help provide a basis for a successful cloud transition. A plethora of surveys from the likes of IDG and Gartner show that more than 70 percent of enterprises have deployed at least one or more cloud application or workload.

Discussions of cloud computing have evolved in recent years from a focus on specific types of cloud, to a world of hybrid cloud, and to a world dominated by the APIs that make today's multi-cloud environments and hybrid clouds possible. In this Power Panel at 17th Cloud Expo, moderated by Conference Chair Roger Strukhoff, panelists addressed the importance of customers being able to use the specific technologies they need, through environments and ecosystems that expose their APIs to make true change and transformation possible.

Microservices are a very exciting architectural approach that many organizations are looking to as a way to accelerate innovation. Microservices promise to allow teams to move away from monolithic "ball of mud" systems, but the reality is that, in the vast majority of organizations, different projects and technologies will continue to be developed at different speeds. How to handle the dependencies between these disparate systems with different iteration cycles? Consider the "canoncial problem" in this scenario: microservice A (releases daily) depends on a couple of additions to backend B (re...

Too often with compelling new technologies market participants become overly enamored with that attractiveness of the technology and neglect underlying business drivers. This tendency, what some call the "newest shiny object syndrome" is understandable given that virtually all of us are heavily engaged in technology. But it is also mistaken. Without concrete business cases driving its deployment, IoT, like many other technologies before it, will fade into obscurity.

We all know that data growth is exploding and storage budgets are shrinking. Instead of showing you charts on about how much data there is, in his General Session at 17th Cloud Expo, Scott Cleland, Senior Director of Product Marketing at HGST, showed how to capture all of your data in one place. After you have your data under control, you can then analyze it in one place, saving time and resources.

The Internet of Things is clearly many things: data collection and analytics, wearables, Smart Grids and Smart Cities, the Industrial Internet, and more. Cool platforms like Arduino, Raspberry Pi, Intel's Galileo and Edison, and a diverse world of sensors are making the IoT a great toy box for developers in all these areas. In this Power Panel at @ThingsExpo, moderated by Conference Chair Roger Strukhoff, panelists discussed what things are the most important, which will have the most profound effect on the world, and what should we expect to see over the next couple of years.

How to Remove a House Arrest Bracelet
How to remove house arrest bracelet in just a few easy steps.
If you want to remove a house arrest bracelet then there are a few things to consider first. Removing it is an offense that breaks your parole and will easily put you back in prison. Things gotta be pretty desperate if you're reading this and need to remove that anklet. So here's a few questions I ask a guy I know who's currently doing 90 days (as of writing this).
Here's a Q&A on house arrest bracelets
Q: What is House Arrest?
A: House Arrest limits an offender's movement within the community through electronic monitoring. House Arrest encompasses a philosophy of home detention, and strict accountability for any movement of the offender within the community, as approved by the Court or House Arrest office. House Arrest is used in lieu of incarceration in a State prison or County jail.
Q: Have you ever taken your house arrest anklet off? and how?
A: haha Well since you're not using my name here, I have been able to remove it to go swimming. I was told by my P.O. not to get it wet. I believed him but he's a dick anyways and is probably lying to me. So what I did was slide under it a steel rod about 2 feet long. Then I twisted it until the rivets or button things popped off. I totally panicked when I saw that but at least it was off. I then had someone goto a tailor and get the same kind of leather rivets and reinserted them.
Q: Who can be on House Arrest?
A: Any individual who is either pre or post conviction may be supervised by electronic monitoring, through legal assignment of a Court or Probation / Parole Officer. Cases supervised include offenders from the District Court, various municipalities, as a condition of bond, per the written directive of a Probation or Parole Officer, and via the Conditional Release program of the Johnson County Residential Center.
Q: How long does House Arrest last?
A: The length of House Arrest supervision is determined by the sentencing Court or entity. Sentences range from one day to an indefinite period. Typical terms of House Arrest supervision range from 30 to 90 days in length.
Q: What equipment is used to electronically monitor an offender?
Monitoring Equipment A: House Arrest utilizes electronic monitoring equipment (see image on right), installed in an offender's residence, to verify each offender's compliance. This equipment is used via phone lines, and serves several functions. Random computer generated phone calls to the offender's residence provides the House Arrest department with a photographic response, a voice response, and a breath sample to ensure the offender is not using / abusing alcohol. The photographic response is recorded, verifying the offender is in their residence, as scheduled.
Q: Do offenders have equipment strapped to their body?
A: In some circumstances offenders are required to wear a tamper proof ankle bracelet, which electronically communicates with their home monitoring unit. This ankle bracelet notifies House Arrest any time the offender exits without authorization, and continuously confirms the offender's presence within the residence. Ankle bracelets are utilized to strictly reduce offender movement, in conjunction with the photographic, voice, and breath response.
Q: What activities are offenders on House Arrest allowed to do?
A: Dependent upon Court orders, some offenders are strictly restricted to their residence, while others are allowed to maintain employment and approved activities. These activities would include educational programming, probation and parole meetings, drug testing, substance abuse and mental health treatment, and religious services. All movement must be scheduled and approved in advance, by the assigned House Arrest Officer.
Q: How is schedule compliance verified?
A: Each offender must meet weekly with their assigned House Arrest Officer to create a written schedule of movement for the week. Upon each weekly meeting, the offender must provide proof of their compliance via pay stubs, work schedules, receipts, verification cards, etc. House Arrest Officers maintain a high level of contact with offender employers and treatment providers to verify compliance, and complete random community compliance checks on each offender, at their residence or place of employment.
Q: What happens when someone violates his or her House Arrest?
A: When an offender can not be located, a four-hour non-compliance procedure is initiated. During this four-hour period many steps are taken to locate the offender, including a residence check by local law enforcement, manual calls to the offender's residence and employment, and contact of the offenders listed emergency contact. If the client can not be located that offender is declared Absent Without Leave (AWOL). In all District Court cases, a warrant request is immediately completed, and filed with the Sheriff's Department. With Municipal and Parole offenders, the referring Municipality or Parole Officer is notified immediately, and those individual entities initiate their revocation proceedings When violations occur and the offender's whereabouts are known, a wide variety of sanctions can be imposed, up to and including the arrest and detention of the offender.
Q: Are offenders under House Arrest supervision tested for drug use?
A: Yes I have. Each offender receives a breath analysis each time the monitoring equipment contacts them at their residence. Each offender is also required to submit to frequent and random urinalyses testing, to ensure they are maintaining a drug free lifestyle. Drug testing is increased in cases of noncompliance, upon behavioral concerns, or when reasonable belief exists that the offender is possible using illegal drugs.
Q: What does House Arrest cost?
A: The cost of House Arrest supervision is incurred by the offender. Each offender is required to pay a daily monitoring fee of $12. Increase fees apply for individuals living outside the local calling area. Each offender is also required to pay for frequent random drug testing.

So, my wife comes home from the movie place with a classical DVD she got for me to watch ... isn't that sweet???
The movie is called Impromptu and is based on George Sand's life. I'm sure it was not the intention of the filmmakers, but I laughed myself sick at this funny, mildly raunchy, hysterically inaccurate portrayal of some of our favorite composers. Hugh Grant (can you imagine??) gets to play the sickly effeminate Chopin, who's best line is: after Sand hints that he's yet a virgin due to his refusal to succumb to her feminine wiles, "nay, I was baptised in the brothels of Paris". hehe
Julian Sands gets to play my Liszt; his portrayal is fine I suppose -- he did get the hair and nose perfectly! The film was obviously pro-Chopin and anti-Liszt. (my wife got quite a kick out of tweaking my sensibilities everytime Liszt was put down as an inferior composer!) This, in spite of the fact, that there was almost as much of Liszt's music in the film score as Chopin's!!! The best musical moment for me was during a farcical duel between Chopin and one of Sand's former lovers ... music from Liszt's Dante Sonata was roaring away as they counted off the paces! Best inaccurate Liszt moment??: when he cries to Marie D'Gout (sp?) "you've suffocated my spirit for years. Imagine the composer I might have been!" and then proceeds to attack Marie and strangle her!!!! hahahahahahaha Poor Marie came out as quite the shrew in this production. (played by Bernadette Peters, who I love)
Emma Thompson has really the best role as bored country noblewoman who longs for the culture and "geniuses" of Paris. Boy does she get more than she bargained for! Mandy Patinkin (My name ees Carlos Montoya. You keeled my fadder. Prepare to die!) also stars as a fantastically funny bitter ex-lover of Sand's.
Anyway, it was a fun hour and a half even if wildly inaccurate.

I may get a lashing for this, but I liked that movie! I remember watching it for the first time when my kids were just babies. I didn't have time in those days to play much piano (or do anything else, for that matter), and this movie was exactly the kind of movie I liked. I think Hugh Grant made a good Chopin and I agree that Julian Sands was a good Liszt. Bernadette Peters was good and so was Emma Thompson - so actually they all were - guess you can tell that I still do like this movie (I bought the VHS ). I know there are some inaccuracies and so forth, but oh well...it's a nice way for me to escape things. And it's better than the other two Chopin movies I have: "A Song to Remember," and "Desire for Love."

MISSION, B.C. - British Columbia is the latest province with a snake problem as officers discovered and euthanized nearly 50 illegal pythons in a small town home.
Insp. Chris Doyle of the B.C. Conservation Officer Service said they were called to a house in Mission, B.C., on Thursday while the tenant who owned the snakes was being evicted.
Officers discovered 46 reticulated pythons which are prohibited under the province's Wildlife Act without a permit — the longest snake was just over four metres in length.
Doyle said nobody had a permit at the house, which is located in a residential area within a couple blocks of a school.
The report came in the same day that 40 pythons were seized at a Brantford, Ont., motel room.
Earlier this month, two young brothers were killed while sleeping at a friend's house in Campbellton, N.B., by an illegal African rock python that had escaped from its enclosure.
"Those snakes are a public safety risk," Doyle said about the reticulated pythons found in Mission.
Doyle said officers found a number of other snakes and a monitor lizard that didn't fall under the province's controlled alien species regulation, as well as some restricted species like boas and other kinds of pythons.
Restricted species only become prohibited once they grow beyond a certain length.
"Some species of pythons aren't ever restricted or prohibited because they don't grow large," Doyle said.
Monitors are among the biggest lizards on the planet and some species are prohibited, though Doyle said the kind they discovered wasn't illegal.
Doyle said that although no venomous snakes were discovered, "you do have to be concerned of being bitten by any snake for risk of infection plus the injury itself."

There are certain things about being a kid that I remember. The memories that stick out the most are the girls I had crushes on, the first time I bought an album with my own money, and also when I started to develop my own sense of style. I'm almost 30 now, so I think it may have been around fifth or sixth grade when all those transitional moments began.
As you do when you get older, you start going back to what made you really happy when the stresses of adult life didn't exist. That's why when I found out that Airwalk was reissuing my very first skate shoe ever, I got extremely excited and purchased them right away.
Finally I could wear my original skate shoe again while listening to White Zombie, Guns N' Roses, Pearl Jam, and Tool. The 90's are back with a vengeance and these shoes are my crown as the king of the decade's revival. Incredibly, I got them just in time to go the king of 90's festivals….Lollapalooza!
As I opened the box of fresh new Airwalks I couldn't help but smile. I was immediately brought back to my youth and all the things that occupied my mind. The only things I was missing was a Billabong jacket and a note to give to my crush.
When I put them on, they fit like a glove and were super comfortable. Way more comfortable than the Nike or DC skate/casual shoes i've been wearing. Back then I was wearing a size 7, but now in my super manly age I get to sport a 10 and it couldn't fit any better. That's even because I don't do the bow tie on the laces. I tighten the laces, make a knot and snip the rest of the lace off with scissors. It's the cool way to wear them.
They are exactly the same and haven't changed a bit since I can remember. Super simple, clean and not flashy. You could wear them with shorts or jeans easily. Maybe even throw on a Stussy shirt.
Suede feels so nice.
For the price (about $60) it's a great shoe no matter if you have the same emotional attachment that I have to them or not. They did a great job with the reissue and if they keep them around, i'll probably buy more as I wear them out. There are a couple of things that I wish were different however. One, they didn't include an Airwalk sticker in the box! When I was a kid, that sticker was a badge of honor. There is no badge this time. Second, these shoes will get dirty really quickly. The black dye used on the suede can rub off on the white suede and smudge on it. I just wore mine to work today for the first time and they are pretty smudged from just sitting at my desk. It seems like they should spray a protectant before they ship.
Anyway, make sure to check out Airwalk.com and see them for yourself. I got the black and white, but they also have a blue. Either way, i'm willing to bet you'll dig 'em.
Thank you so much for the review of the new Airwalk One shoe. I was hoping someone would review them and that they'd be just as good as the originals. I had a pair of the navy and tan ones when I was 12. They were my all time favorite shoes. I always wanted the black and white ones and it looks like now I'll finally have a chance to own them. I'd love to see more pictures of yours sometime. They bring back a lot of good memories.
Got my first pair in 8th Grade at Urban Outfitters…also had the tan and navy. I still have one, but unfortunately I lost one in a drunken haze one night. I had to cut the backs out to wear them and they didn't stay on my feet very well. I bought the blue ones and the black already famous 2 months ago and the black & white last month. Hopefully they will keep making these and in different colors. All I need is a new retro Mossimo t-shirt like I got when I bought the shoes, which I still have, but it's too small and full of holes, lol.

Mr. Chairman;
Mr. Suleyman al-Najab,
Special Emissary of President Yasser Arafat;
Members of the diplomatic corps;
Distinguished Guests,
"We have assembled once again as South Africans, our Palestinian guests and as humanists to express our solidarity with the people of Palestine.
"I wish to take this opportunity to congratulate the organisers of the event, particularly the United Nations Information Centre and the UNISA Centre for Arabic and Islamic Studies for this magnificent act of compassion, to keep the flames of solidarity, justice and freedom burning.

You've got to slow it down, watch out.
The Indiana coaches need to call Mr. Telephone Man.
And a big welcome to Mr. Stribling.
...why do I feel this way?
Ricky and Mike, if Hoke likes a recruit who cares who you like...
He is listed as a 3 star on 247, and his user rating on rivals is a perfect 5 star
User rating on Rivals? I'd listen to Ace Williams scouting of a player before I used those.

"Sarcasm is the protest of the weak."
John Knowles, "A Separate Peace" 1959
Not to mention the fact that it's based on 14 people, probably consisting of his best friends and some Michigan fans in the last hour.
I thought user rating was what we always use here!
I guess he only had an offer from NC state and Hampton. Weird.
are belong to us. In June.
Goodbye, McQuay...may your jams in Nashville be ever groovin'.
I think this would be a fine choice definitely if the coaches think he deserves an offer to come play at THE UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN. If we only have two spots left I would rather them go to McQuay and Bailey that would be a great little package. I know everyone is like what about Treadwell? but if we were to get bailey and already have Dukes, York we should be fine for next season. The 2014 class is going to produce some great receivers and we are in on some BIG names like Cory Holmes, Damon Webb, and Drake Harris and I'm sure there is more who will want to come play with sugar shane!
Posting this in just one Channing Stribling thread just wasn't enough, was it?
Good size frame and looks pretty fluid in his movements. So if I understand this correctly, he camped at Michigan and then we offered him?
Wonder how his pad level is?
Magnus, where are you?
This is interesting. I really can't wait until we get some more info about him. As of now all I know is what's been in the recruiting post yesterday and what a quick google search came up with.
Can't we hold on the spots to those 4/5 stars?
Of course we could. Rankings are often very good tells of player quality, but they're not everything. Sometimes great players are very underrated. Mike Hart was a three-star on Rivals, and ended up being one of the best players in Michigan history. Braylon Edwards (although he was being recruited in the very beginning of the Rivals era, and thus was not ranked), would likely have been a low three star or a two star nowadays judging by his offer list at the time.
Stars are great, but if the coaches see something they like, and the scouts see it too, then I like the call. I could see this very easily becoming another situation like Conley's, with Stribling flying under the radar for the time being.
I wonder part of the coaches' reasoning is to incentivize future lower rated kids to come to camp so they can get a look at everyone. If there aren't going to be any offers and everyone thinks our class is full I can't imagine many kids without offers would show up going forward.
I'm sure the kid can play as well it's not all incentive, just maybe part
Welcome Mr. Stribling. I'm confident the offer was earned and look forward to see him suit up in the maize and blue. Let 's not become ND and base our greatness on the number of stars in our class. I have a feeling Stribling brings some major weapons to Ann Arbor.
Say that our recruits are obviously the best because the coaches said so.
Staee'ers say that "stars don't mean anything, we're getting guys Mork can coach up and be great" to excuse the fact that they're getting their butt kicked on the recruiting trail by teams that have been down compared to them the last few years (UM, PSU, OSU).
With how good the rest of our class is, I don't think saying "The Coaches have a sleeper here" is a problem on Commit 22
So let's combine the two... Get some quality 4/5 star recruits who many feel are can't miss, and get a few sleepers here and there. I am no football coach, if Hoke, Borges, and Mattison say we need a long snapper, I support the decision. Mark Ingram, Mike Hart, Matt Ryan, Sam Bradford, David Harris, and Darrelle Revis were all under 4 star recruits.
What if these new recruits were reading mgoblog because they are excited to be committing, and all they see is "ugh, it's not "insert 4/5 star recruit name here." I say welcome aboard, and if they show the same passion about the university that Hoke and staff have, I want you more than someone who may not have the same passion. Go Blue
Well stated , sir (or madam). It is really disturbing to see posters complaining about the fact that a kid "took the spot of a better player" rather than welcoming the young man to Michigan.
I say, "Hail!" to young master Stribling.
I am absolutely thrilled with this committment for a number of reasons... 1. the kid must be something special (or at least comparable to other prospects) if he is offered a scholarship in light of the fact that we still have other highly ranked kids on the board...2. the kid came up and earned his scholarship in person.. in front of the coaches. There was no 'hype' surrounding the kid... he just came up and played football...3. he is a 6'2" corner that joins the number 1 class in the nation...
Congrats Channing Stribling...you'll be a player I personally root for in the years to come.
The kid looks like a playmaker. He also plays wide receiver and can return kicks and punts. He reminds me a lot like Steve Breaston.
So no LM3?
I would say no at this point. There are two spots left and most people have said that we are saving those for WRs.
... another Hello post needs it some writin'.
I'm guessing ACE didn't have this Hello post waiting in the wings.
now. We are all super happy for him, he's been talking to reporters all night :)
How's the kid's personality? If you don't mind me asking, that is
Stay away from the underage prospects Jack
We've been pretty much out of the running on Fuller, Green, and Mathis for a while now. Have you been paying attention to the recruiting at all? Ace (and others) have said quite a few times the only big star guy we're really *in* for is Treadwell
It's best to ignore dumb people.
We are also still in it for Paul Harris, who is a 4 star WR.
Congrats to Channing!
Good for him and good for us. It would be nice to get in with Butler High School...lots of solid prospects every year.
Welcome to Michigan Channing! I hope you put all of those rating services to shame after you become an All Big10 corner!
See you in the Big House.
Everybody chill on the non-4-5 star whining. The coaches have the inside track on all these recruits and they wanted him - the kid would have blown way up down the line, and he obviously really wants to play for UM. Great addition.

One supermini that's spacious
Posted: September 06, 2012|
All those cute little citycars are all very well but they're not very practical are they? So what if you could get that kind of fashionable feel in a small runabout with a bit more space – something like Toyota's Yaris supermini? That's the thinking behind the Japanese brand's marketing of this model in 'Edition' and 'Trend' guises.
Though both the 'Edition' and the 'Trend' models look sporty, there are no changes beneath the bonnet to get excited about. The 'Edition' is powered by the range's entry-level 1.0-litre VTi petrol engine that's really designed for urban use.
Better for the open road is the 'Trend' version, as it's based on the sportier SR model in the standard line-up, powered by a 100bhp 1.33-litre petrol unit. This variant also gets slightly stiffened suspension for sharper cornering. As a result, the low speed ride is quite firm, but refinement is good enough to give the feeling of your being in something from the next class up. Rest to sixty in the 1.33 takes 11.7s on the way to a top speed of 109mph.
Beneath the visual frippery of these special edition models lurks a sensible supermini. Pronounced V-sculpting of the radiator grille and eased-out wheelarches give the latest Yaris a studier, more purposeful look, and the chrome strip running along the boot combines with the small tailgate spoiler to carry through the slightly sportier mein. The 100mm increase in length over the previous generation Yaris has made a big difference to cabin room that you can most easily feel in the back; six foot adults can be accommodated with ease. The 286-litre boot (within 9-litres of a Fiesta) expands to 347-litres if you load up to the roof. Push forward the 60:40 split-folding rear seats and a useful 768-litres of total space is freed up.
And at the wheel? Well, traditional instruments behind the steering wheel replace the binnacle in the centre of the dash of older Yaris models. And while it's certainly true that there are classier-feeling cabins in this sector with higher quality plastics, none is better screwed together. It certainly looks very smart. Apart from the redesigned multifunction steering wheel - and the clever Touch & Go multi-media system - the well laid out and ergonomically sound interior hasn't changed much. There's also plenty of interior storage space, and the decently-sized door bins can accommodate a decent sized drinks bottle with ease. The trend in small car marketing is to offer more for less, a fashion followed by these special edition Yaris models. There's nothing especially innovative at work with the thinking behind them - a lot more equipment for not a lot of extra money - but the concept should achieve its objective here of boosting Yaris sales.
That doesn't always happen with special editions, but in this case, the equipment enhancements are well chosen and the price additions for them modest. If you're after a supermini that stands out a little in the supermarket carpark, then one of these Yaris models may well appeal.

Braided Shoelaces Craft
Source: Babycenter Community
Mom Rating
Ages: 5-8+ years
In: Arts & Crafts , Tire Out , Holidays
Instructions:This is a great craft for any girl..
Knot three 36" strands of embroidery floss together a half an inch from one end. Pin the knot to a pillow or clip to the fridge with a magnet, in order to provide tension as you work. Begin braiding, bringing the left strand over the middle strand, then the right strand over this new middle strand, untangling the long ends as you go.
When you have the desired length, knot all strand ends together, leaving a half inch beyond knot. Rub the ends with your fingertips to form a firm single strand. Dip this, up to the knot, into nail polish for easy threading when inserting laces.
Using the same colors of floss, braid another shoelace to make a pair. For thicker shoelaces, put two strands of floss together and use as one.

Tribute | a cappella SSAA chorus | 5'
Tribute (2010) was commissioned by the Orange County Women's Chorus under the direction of Eliza Rubenstein; this piece was premiered on May 22, 2010 in Newport Beach, CA.
In choosing this poem to set, I was intrigued by the way that poet Annie Finch plays with words and sounds within the poem; though the poem doesn't rhyme, each sentence ends with similar-sounding words: "bone," "own," "upon." Within the composition, I play with these repetitive syllables, particularly the "n" and "oh" sounds that recur in these and other words (e.g., "when," "stone"). The music is divided into three distinct sections, corresponding with the three sentences of the poem.

BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. (AP) - Jackie, Marlon and Tito Jackson say
they don't want to point fingers about their brother Michael's
Jackie Jackson cites the ongoing Los Angeles police homicide
investigation, saying he wants to wait until it's finished before
Tito Jackson also says its premature to say who did what because
all the facts haven't been gathered.
The brothers made the comments while promoting their new reality
series on A&E Network, "The Jacksons: A Family Dynasty," which
premieres Dec. 13.
Authorities have said their homicide investigation was focusing
on Michael Jackson's personal physician Dr. Conrad Murray, but no
charges have been filed.
Through a spokeswoman, Murray maintains that he didn't prescribe
or administer anything to Jackson that should have killed him.

Alternative water points for elephants
Alternative water points fail if conservancies don't have enough diesel to pump water at both points. Solar pumps may be a solution to this problem. In addition, communities should agree not to settle at the water point or allow their livestock to drink there. (Guibeb Pers. Comm; Esterhuizen Pers. Comm). It could be difficult to get such an agreement in a semi-arid to arid area such as Kunene Region where mobility is important for successful livestock farming and drought is a normal occurrence. Again theft of the solar panels and the pump could be a potential problem.
The cost to build alternative elephant water points in conservancies assisted by the NGO IRDNC varied between N$ 20.000 to N$ 25.000, (≈ 2870 - 3580 US $) including piping from the source ranging between 1-5 km Esterhuizen (Pers. Comm.).

I live in Florida. I voted today. The wording of this proposed "Amendment" read like a Tea Party manifesto, like it was written by a nut, obscured in excessive wordiness and verbosity.
Here's a tip: If you want to convince those "in the middle", or -- God forbid! -- the opposition, that they should all change their minds and go along with your POINT OF VIEW, don't try to trick them with wordiness and overly lawyered language. THAT was what today's rejected wording was akin to.
And beyond that ... if consumers can buy Apple iPhones, and pay $150++/month for data plans and unlimited calling, THEY CAN DARN WELL PAY THEIR DOCTOR for routine appointments or even major surgery. And if they can't, they HAVE TO BUY INSURANCE. And if they don't want to buy insurance, but doctors are COMPELLED TO TREAT THEM ANYWAY, then ... force them to buy insurance. The details of making that happen, we can argue about ... but PAY YOUR BILLS. Or, it *should* be the role of government to make sure you do... my wife almost can't afford to practice radiology, because of the Harry Reid's AND Marco Rubio's of the world -- productivity-free LAWYERS who CONTRIBUTE NOTHING TO SOCIETY.
Nice to see rational people take control of their destiny for a change, instead of being at the hands of fundamentalists, gun nuts, and blindfolded people who cannot live and breathe without quoting some "founding father" or hypocritically invoking some sort of imaginary "liberty" and"freedom". Good going Florida.
5 Trillion in debt in 4 years. Medicare and Medicaid are unfunded to the tune of 72 trillion dollars. Those of you that think Obamacare is sane should get your drugs now, you won't be able to find any once this bomb explodes in 2014.
Fred -- that's all true. It's not being funded without another massive redistribution of wealth, and even then, its a pipe dream to say its any more than 60% (maybe 40%) funded.
But, did the Republicans come out and SAY THAT? No. They played around the edges, because the truth is even uglier: they didn't want to alienate the big insurance companies who stand to make billions on Obamacare. So, instead of laying out the truth about Obamacare economics, RNC went state-by-state, and tried the "Constitutional Ballot" route, with dubiously worded "voodoo" that was so unclear that it was repellent to anyone but true believers. Oh, and as Ryan said to Ralph Reed's call-in, "Healthcare reform violates Judeo-Christian values" ... which just totally, finally exposed the hypocrisy and incoherence of that position for any moderate who might have possibly, potentially, maybe voted for the position.
Better to be honest and lose than to lie and still lose. Republicans have no moral standing left -- and they probably won't win in 2016, either. Great going, guys :(
I don't normally blog but as I read these comments the reference to "wordiness" , "hipocrisy", "incoherence" and "verbosity" in reference to this measure fails to mention the 1100 pages of the same within the federal healthcare law itself. What would you call individuals who pass a law and then those who accept it without reading it and knowing that it was created without the input or vote of anyone from the "other' party? I would care to add that these individuals could be called "nuts", "hipocrits", and in my own word, sheep.
Simply, it is the sheep who voted for the individuals who passed this law to begin with and the same sheep who rejected this measure to block it in this state.

Boyzcum quit the Boy Scouts and joined the Communists as a spy in 1947 under the name Morris Taylor.
His father, John Boyzcum was second-in-command of the Montreal police squad's anti-subversive squad since its inception in the 1930s. That lasted until he was charged with manslaughter for shooting and killing killing a man named Andre Pawlas on Easter of 1932 at 2058 Davidson (then Harbor). Boyzcum had been tossed out of a house after quarreling with Joseph Wadalski, who he called a "Pollock." He was cleared.
The senior Boyzcum had been busting Commies since at least as early as 1931 and in later years was assigned such tasks as checking out if Lili St. Cyr's dances were immoral (they weren't) and busting a baseball team trying to raise cash for their lefty political party.
|Young Claire Benzvy watches raid
"My father warned me it was a Communist paper but I explained that's how I would get to know them," said Maurice in an interview.
Maurice, then 15, vowed that he would replace his dad in his job on the anti-subversive squad if ever needed.
So Boyzcum began infiltrating as Morris Taylor, son of a Polish dad and Jewish mom by becoming a delivery boy for the Red publication, the Daily Tribune.
He then moved on to delivering mail and running errands from their office on Notre Dame W. to Quebec provincial headquarters of the Labour Progressive Party at 254 St. Catherine E. rooms 25 and 26.
He dropped out of high school, the Boy Scouts, avoided his regular friends and quit his part time job. He wanted to leave discreetly, so he demanded a big raise, which was refused. His communist friends applauded him for standing up for his rights.
Boyzcum then joined the Jewish People's Order's Youth Division in the fall of 1949 and quickly became the secretary and social director for that group.
|John Boyzcum in 1951
"It was a slim chance but with luck on my side, I succeeded in slowly climbing the ladder of the Red movement in Montreal," he later said.
He became press and publicity director of the UJPO and in 1950 they promoted him to a full-member.
"This meant I was pure Communist through my activities and tests I passed, including a course in leadership given by top party leaders," he said.
He eventually was a member of the UJPO, NFLY, Civil Liberties' Union and Montreal Peace Council.
The teenager even attended Communist summer school.
"I never knew my luck would last so long," he said. He was eventually brought up "paraded before a meeting and questioned for several hours."
Suspicions of him being an undercover agent had risen so he was suspended and forced to leave.
Cops, using his information, then conducted four simultaneous raids on Dec. 5, 1951, at 1539 Ducharme Outremont and busting Claire Benzvy, 19, at her parents home. They also raided 4900 Clark (Sydney Marknian), 5333 Hutchison, (Ann Lash) 7820 de l'Epee apt. 10 (Peter Peretz)
Peretz owned a fur business and was polite and helpful as police carted off huge amounts of pamphlets and other materials. He and his wife Jane Little were the local leaders.
Eight days later four more joints were raided under the Padlock Law, which was later ruled unconstitutional.
"I've lost 22 pounds in less than a year while leading this double life. Now maybe I'll put on some weight," said Boyzcum.
Days after the raids, his dad's home on Taillon was broken into at 2:30 a.m., presumably by his former friends in the Communist movement, hoping either to rough him up or get back some of the 8,000 documents seized in raids of the National Federation of Labour Youth.
The Boyzcum clan doesn't appear to get mentioned again, ever, so it's likely that Maurice Boyzcum changed his name.
We would definitely like to know what became of Maurice Boyzcum, who would be about 81 now, if still alive.

This setting is accessible to most choral groups and will be a wonderful tribute to those we seek to honor. Available separately: SATB, SAB, SSA, ShowTrax CD. Duration: ca. 3:35.
