Did Zionists Help Plan the Holocaust?
May 20, 2015
Apart from the destruction of Germany, the Illuminati
contrived the Second World War to trauma
brainwash Jews to believe they could never assimilate
and had to have a homeland of their own.
The Hoyer Memorandum suggests that Illuminati Jews
were complicit in planning the extermination of their fellow Jews.
Revised and updated: The Jews' "Worst Enemy" is Now Ours - June 9, 2007
By Henry Makow Ph.D.
In 1962, Christopher Story was the only 'goy' working at Jewish banker "S. Japhet & Co." in the City. The Eichmann trial was in the news and Story asked a Jewish co-worker, a "nice middle aged lady," if Adolf Eichmann wasn't himself Jewish?
She replied:" Didn't you know that a Jew's greatest enemy is another Jew?"
Story believes that many Nazis who planned and implemented the Holocaust had Jewish blood. Jews who belonged to the (Masonic) Illuminati conspiracy "sided with the Luciferian German Nazis to exterminate millions of their own race in what amounted to an inter-Jewish civil war and ethnic cleansing operation..." (532)
The motivation? Prevent Jews from disappearing as a nation and trick them into becoming Zionists and advancing the New World Order. He cites the famous article in the Jewish owned "Daily Express" headlined "Judea Declares War on Germany" (March 24, 1933). It states that Hitler "has aroused the whole Jewish people to a national consciousness." (535)
Before Hitler came to power, less than 3% of Germany's 500,000 Jews belonged to the Zionist movement.
In his book, "Hitler's Jewish Soldiers" Brian Rigg states that 155,000 Nazi soldiers had Jewish blood, including some generals.
One of these generals , SS Lieut. General Horst Hoyer submitted a report in 1952 on the role Nazi Jews played in the Holocaust. Helping plan the "Final Solution" were Jews named Walter Sonnenschein, Zuckerhorn, Spitze, Lowenstein, Gregor and Feckler. Organized Jewry offered Hoyer 30,000 DM to suppress this report but he refused. He was murdered some years later. (533)
Here are excerpts from his report:
"In all serious hate-filled literature in Germany and elsewhere, one hears only of collective and sole guilt of the German people. However, nowhere does one hear or read of a mutuality of guilt, yes, even that the main guilt falls on international Jewry, as to the fate of the Jewish people in the so-called "final solution".
"In the face of this, I became
convinced, and am prepared to reinforce this with an oath that the
"final solution" of Jewry (in so far as this concerned
wartime Poland under German control, and from my vantage point of
view), emanated from official Jewish and German departments (German,
"Stellen"). Although attempts, on my part, to name exactly
the responsible persons proved futile (however, as we shall see
shortly, it could not have been Adolf Hitler), I became convinced
that the deliberations of this "clique" took place on the
departmental levels in the German Military Transportation Command
(German, "Kommandatur") in "Akademizca" (English,
"University") Street in Lemburg.
There, to the best of my knowledge, is
where the details of the "final solution" were clearly laid
out. Sephardic Jews (see Translator's Note below) could hardly have
been victims, for these were taken out of Galicia by the hundreds, as
entire families were flown out by the German Armed Forces with their
Allies, in connection with the "final solution". Thus, in
October 1943, sixteen selected Jews were taken from my labor camp to
Lublin and then to the old civilian airport on the Chortower Highway
and flown to neutral Spain, to be handed over to the United States,
including a relative of Henry Morgenthau, a member of President
Roosevelt's cabinet.
From July 1941 to march 1943, I was chief administrator (German: "Vorgesetzter") of some 250,000 Jews, officially organized as the German Four Year War Effort. Our orders included manufacturing army clothing, processing scrap metals, captured war materials and the like. These Jews were paid volunteers. To secure smooth operations, I had to trust "my Jews" as head of departments and keepers of logs. Through them I was informed of all world happenings, even on an hourly basis. This was, for me, incomprehensible and even fantastic. Thus, I got insights which left me speechless, for "my Jews" knew full well, what world Jewry had in store for them and they were as helpless as the German people themselves.
Now for some names. Is Siegfried Langsam, the onetime Austrian officer still alive? Are Walter Sonnenschein and Dr. Wachter with their wives still alive? What about Zuckerhorn, Spitze, Loewenstein, Gregor, Fackler and many, many others? Are they anywhere in the world? If so, let them now step forward and tell their people, as well as the German people, fearlessly, what took place in the Akademizca Street! At the time, they feared world Jewry, putting me in their confidence, didn't they? They pleaded for my help, knowing full well that I was utterly helpless in the face of these underhanded activities. From [Academizca] street in Lemburg emanated actions which neither the German nor the Jewish people, nor the SS, nor the front soldiers knew about, or could have known.
[After a meeting with the Jewish Council of Elders in charge of the Warsaw Ghetto] an orderly announced, "Officials! Leaders! The gentlemen have arrived." Some sixteen or seventeen serious looking Jews were ushered in, introduced and took their seats around a large oval table. In a festive short hour, recognition was given these Jews with personalized certificates (on white hard paper, 40 by 40 cm). On the left was a large golden national insignia with letters in Gothic and a seal with the original signature of Adolf Hitler.
These certificates assured the full
protection of these Jews, their families and properties by the
Greater German Reich. Included were words of thanks and blessings by
Hitler in the name of the German people. Around this table with its
distinguished Jews and in this festive hour, one sensed no hatred, no
war and no conspiracy...
Once in our discussions, I was told, passionately, "Our race has to learn to sacrifice!" Later I was told by Jewish Fascists, "Of those here, we shall still let 60% 'bite the dust' before Madagascar [i.e Israel]."
One commentator who read the Hoyer Memorandum said:
"One must be mindful of the intense inter-Jewish tension and contrast, above all between the objectives of the nationally-assimilated Jews and those of world Jewry and Zionism. These divisions are much much deeper than the relationships between believing and non believing Jews...one group of Jews fell victim to another..." (Story, 532)
Last week, I featured evidence that Martin Bormann who signed the cheques for the whole Nazi hierarchy, including Hitler, was working for the Soviets, i.e. Illuminati. In my view, the whole Nazi enterprise was a conspiracy to destroy the German people and trauma brainwash Jews into taking Israel for the New World Order.
The "Jewish Conspiracy" is really the "Half-Jewish Conspiracy." Many prominent members intermarry or are the products of intermarriage. John Kerry is an example. Many are Jewish and many are not. What they all really have in common is loyalty to the Masonic Illuminati Order, which has subjugated the planet by manufacturing war.
Throughout history Jewish banker leaders have used pogroms (i.e. anti-Semitic massacres) to control their fellow Jews. They tell the Jewish masses they are hated for no reason and thus dupe them into advancing their Masonic one-world agenda (i.e. Communism, Zionism, Socialism.) But this is exactly the reason for anti Semitism. One-world government is about moral degradation, atomization, homogenization and tyranny. People want to keep their culture, race, religion, nation and family. They want to keep their freedom.
The Holocaust was a giant "pogrom" that convinced Jews they had to establish a national home by throwing the Palestinians out of theirs. The Illuminati want Israel as the capital of their world government. We can see this in the Masonic design of the Rothschild-sponsored Israeli Supreme Court.
The events of 9-11 were another "pogrom" aimed at the American people, designed to make them forsake their freedom and wage a phoney "war of terror." Just as in the Holocaust, Illuminati Jews were probably part of 9-11. The Jews' worst enemy is now all of ours.
Note: In a 1960 Life magazine interview, Adolf Eichmann described a deal he made with Budapest Jewish leader Reszlo Kasztner who was:
"a fanatical Zionist. He agreed to help keep the Jews from resisting
deportation -- and even keep order in the collection camps -- if I would close my eyes
and let a few hundred or a few thousand young Jews emigrate illegally to
Palestine. It was a good bargain. For keeping order in the camps, the price of
15,000 or 20,000 Jews -- in the end there may have been more -- was not too high
for me. And because Kastner rendered us a great service by helping keep the
deportation camps peaceful, I would let his groups escape" ("I Transported Them
to the Butcher," Life [5 Dec. 1960], p. 146).
List of Nazis claimed to have Jewish blood in Dietrich Bronder's "Before Hitler Came"
"der Fuehrer und Reichskanzler Adolf Hitler; seine Stellvertreter, die Reichsminister Rudolf Hess und Reichsmarschall Hermann Goering; die Reichsleiter der NSDAP Gregor Strasser, Dr. Josef Goebbels, Alfred Rosenberg, Hans Frank und Heinrich Himmler; die Reichsminister von Ribbentrop (der mit dem berühmten Zionisten Chaim Weizmann, dem 1952 verstorbenen ersten Staatsoberhaupt von Israel, einst Brüderschaft getrunken hatte) und von Keudell; die Gauleiter Globocznik (der Judenvernichter), Jordan [and] Wilhelm Kube; die hohen SS-Führer und z. T. in der Judenvernichtung tätigen Reinhard Heydrich, Erich von dem Bach-Zelewski und von Keudell II; die Bankiers und alten Förderer Hitlers vor 1933 Ritter von Stauss (Vizepräsident des NS-Reichstages) und von Stein; der Generalfeldmarschall und Staatssekretaer Milch, der Unterstaatssekretaer Gauss; die Physiker und Alt-Pg.'s Philipp von Lenard und Abraham Esau; die Uralt-Pg.'s Hanffstaengel (NS-Auslandspressechef) und Prof. Haushofer (s. S. 190)."
The Nazi Jews are the subject of Hennecke Kardel's "Hitler: Founder of Israel" available on line.

Horst said (May 21, 2015):
Thank you for this fine and factual article, the puzzle is reaching its completion.
Too sad, Christopher Story most certainly was "done away" by this very group of monsters.
He was an extraordinary and courageous gentleman, same class as you.
It proves very clearly that this so powerful "groupuscule" / mini-state will never ever
relent until their final goal, world domination, is attained, really ??
The moneychangers have sworn to demolish and exterminate Christianity. How can they
since they are up against GOD and us, the awake and the awakening world ??
All the very best to you,
PS: NA = national socialist ZI = zionist = NAZI
R said (May 20, 2015):
Good article on the Holocaust. In the early 1960s, long before reading any of the later critiques on the Holocaust, in which the number of victims and the causes of mortality are debated, I read Ben Hecht's book, Perfidy. Hecht didn't dispute the terrible persecution of the European Jews, he pointed the finger at the Zionists who sacrificed their "lesser brethren" and at the Anglo-American Illuminati politicians. Your pieces add another dimension to this picture in limning the role of the Illuminati in the Nazi government as well.
Erika (general comment) said (June 14, 2007):
Hello Dr. Makow, I am a African American woman who is a Mass Communications major. Iwill be graduating next year '08. I have read several of your articles and I must say... I love your wisdom,your boldness, and your truth which is actually God's truth. As I read your thoughts I realized that a lot of what you say are actually biblical principles. The books of Ecclesiatics and Proverbs contains loads of what you're saying. Well done ! I really loved your article on "Why Men are losing interest in women".I often wondered HOW so many men could leave their wives for another man ??? Homosexuality just really disgusts me ! Whether it be men or women. I think men should be men and women should be women !!!I now have extra confirmation why I love my husband... I allow him to be in control (somewhat) and I stay in my place as a woman. He is extra masculine and I am feminine. Not that I am a pushover but It turns me on for my husband to be the Leader. I would never want a wimp who is a YES man. Keep the artcles coming ! Sometimes I start an argument just to see how much He's in LOVE with me.
Harrie said (June 13, 2007):
Hi Henri,
I really enjoy your writings. I learned a lot from you, although many things I did not understand in the beginning. Especially the part about feminism took me a little while to understand. Now I can see that you are right. I
like to show some of your articles to people in a politics group I am visiting. One Politics group I am visiting is at Hi5, called World Politics.
People in this group are very polarized. For instance, some are Zionist and others are Nazi's. I think your articles are very educative for them in order to change the stereotype ideas they have. Anyway, thanks again for writing all these articles. I enjoy reading them.
Thanks Harrie,
I appreciate people like you who make the effort to learn, and help spread the truth.
Michael on Feminism said (June 12, 2007):
I came across a book you might find interesting. It is called "Maximized Manhood" and is written by Edwin Louis Cole.
Written in 1982, the author laments that men and women don't know their roles in society, primarily due to feminism and the growing immaturity of men. Feminism, he says, has "liberated" men from the duties and
responsibilities he would ordinarily hold.
Cole is a Christian minister and he recommends that all men be like Jesus, who Cole terms a real "man's man." Putting Cole's faith to the side, his advice to live as Jesus would is solid. A man, acting as Jesus and claiming his manhood, becomes the man of the house - "a leader, steward, priest, minister - counselor. He must be everything to his home that Christ is to
the church." It is, therefore, the job of a man to minister to his wife and children on all things in life and to guide them in proper virtues. In one chapter, he laments the "video daddy," men who act like the TV dads in all
of the most reprehensible ways.
Cole recommends that men who are immature and who have lost their manhood to embark upon the journey of "Christlikeness." He writes, "The man needs to change so his family can change. The man needs to grow so his family can grow. He sets the example."
This is only a sampling of the valuable content this book contains.
"Maximized Manhood" should be required reading for all men AND women.

I'm not sure if you remember me, but I am a reader of your website since late in 2001, and enjoy your rants on a regular basis, in fact its almost an addiction. I moved to Singapore in Nov 2003, from NJ, and am very happy since.
After reading this weeks article about Jews being their own worst enemy, and one of your readers mentioned that 300 men rule the world, I wanted to bring to your attention this attached book, that I read some time back in 2002.
In 2002, I worked for the IT department of the blue blooded law firm, Milbank Tweed in downtown Manhattan. Imagine my shock, whilst reading this book in a NYC subway, when I read that a lawyer from my firm was involved in bringing down Nixon, as mentioned on page 100 of the attached file. This book basically puts a lot of historical events in perspective, and tries to unmask the reality that is usually hidden by the main stream media.
Keep up the enlightening work, in these dark times.

THE STORY OF THE COMMITTEE OF 300 by John Coleman
John said (June 10, 2007):
In the thirties, there was a German linguist, Gerhard Kessler, who said that the name Eichmann was actually used by Jews trying to break with their forefathers. This was also the opinion of Hennecke Kardel, a German Jewish soldier who fought in World War II, author of: "Adolf Hitler, founder of Israel in War with Jews," a book that says pretty much what you're saying.
Hard hitting piece, God bless,

Jean from Hungary said (June 10, 2007):
Thanks for your latest article. If Christopher Story wrote his book today, he could describe how the American "christian" elites were attracted in a deadly trap by the "Neo-Conservatives"-called jewish Golem. Since the first Iraqi war started, the neocons managed to bleed to death the American economy and also to make the entire planet hate everything American.
The American "Christian" elites were stupid enough to believe that a war policy (the "War On Terror") could result in an American unipolar world. The European central bankers (the same who own the US Federal Reserve) supported the American war policy for years through their European puppet politicians, even while the best American military experts were announcing the Middle-Eastern military quagmire we see today.
Now that the defeat is obvious, the European puppet politicians assembled recently at the G8 summit were overtly blaming the Bush administration for its war policy and are preparing to leave soon the Iraqi and Afghan battle fields: as a result, the American elites will either decide to abandon their world domination dreams or to go directly to the final stage of the plan which is the war against China and Russia.
As America is now economically ruined, the only choice left to its infantilish elites is to do all the possible to destroy also the Chinese and Russian economies and it is every day more obvious that the only chance they have to do it is by war.
We have now reached a point where America is used by the European central bankers as a suicide bomber against the central bankers` enemies. Meanwhile, the EU is hypocritically posing itself as a peace champion and the central bankers are probably dreaming of the coming day when America and Eurasia would have destroyed each other.
I`m sorry to say it but I don`t believe there is any political way left to get out of the WWIII scenario. However a giant natural catastrophe could force the American elites to abandon their running amok wargames. Such a catastrophe could be an imminent melting of the Greenland ice cap which would result in a massive and permanent flooding of most of the American east and gulf coasts and a resulting massive economical destruction.
Mauri said (June 9, 2007):
For the real scoop on Martin Bormann, read "Martin Bormann, Nazi in Exile" by Paul Manning. (His son was murdered for writing this book.) It can be downloaded from Dave Emory's website, www.spitfirelist.com Two other great books that got it right are by Loftus, "Unholy Trinity" and "War against the Jews". How do I know? I was on the receiving end of the Vatican Ratline, where I worked with Martin Bormann, his son Adolf and many other Nazis and Mafia and the Jesuits hiding them all. Martin disappeared in 1945, was in California in 1946-7. His trail is picked up again in 1948 in Argentina. I'm just one more eyewitness to this fact. Martin was working with the Vatican, his eldest son even became a Jesuit priest. His other 8 kids were turned over to the Catholic Church when his wife died of cancer just after the war. The Russia rumor has little or no evidence to back it up. But of course at the top they are all working together anyway.
Anon said (June 9, 2007):
Henry.. I always enjoy your essays. Check out these quotes.
Widely known and somewhat benign:
"Three hundred men, each of whom knows all the others, govern the fate of the European continent, and they elect their successors from their entourage." -Walter Rathenau, the Jewish Banker behind the Kaiser writing in the German Weiner Frei Presse, December 24th 19l2.
Here's the kicker--that ties it together:
"The meaning of the history of the last century is that today 300 Jewish financiers, all Masters of Lodges, rule the world." -Jean Izoulet, member of the Jewish Alliance Israelite Universelle l931.
The source and reference for these quotes is: http://www.nireland.com/fame97/
I've printed it twice (once in larger font) but haven't yet finished reading..because its rather sickening.
Dan said (June 9, 2007):
"....Some weeks after this catastrophe-atrocity Vice-President Richard Cheney paid a visit to New Orleans [uttering] the following Freudian slip: "We are on top of this exercise."
Wow, that's a classic Freudian slip.
"Christopher Story: ...He says Hurricaine Katrina was a regional test for Illuminati takeover."
For me, living in Houston, which experienced the visible influx of over 100,000 automobiles from south Louisianna the Friday before the storm hit New Orleans that Saturday, Story's assumption is highly credible. More to that point happened in the the aftermath of Katrina. In particular when, only a few weeks later, I found myself evacuating Houston with friends, in bumber to bumper traffic headed west on Interstate Highway 10, the same one than runs from central Texas and on down the gulf coast east to Jacksonville, Florida.
Now the hurricane season is hear again on the Gulf of Mexico, and this week local news is amping the possibility of Katrina like storms in the near future (Due inexplicably to 'climate change'). Only yesterday the local news announced that Highway 45, the only other major evacuation route out of the 4th most populace city in the US will be a hopeless bottleneck 'this time', as it is 'under contsruction' begun by the State after the 2005 hurricanes, which will not be cleared until 2008.

About Me Budget Shopper
Comments about Veterans Flag Display Case:
I bought this Veterans Flag Display Case for my Mom who's husband, a WWII veteran, recently passed away. She had bought one like it for me when my husband, a Vietnam veteran, passed away several years ago. It was very much like the one she bought me and she loves it. She is able to use it to display his flag in the den he loved to do his reading in. She enjoys spending time in there remembering the wonderful man he was.
Bottom LineYes, I would recommend this to a friend

I priced flag displays and decided to go with a lower priced item at Miles Kimball. I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the item and the fact that they engraved the plate also. All for a great price. Couldn't be more happy with this product.
A Great Honor to My Father

About Me Midrange Shopper
I ordered this case for my father's burial flag shortly after his burial. When it came, I immediately placed the flag in it and the name plate on it. Everything was just as I hoped. On the right side of the case, I put my father's army picture ID and the other side, I put the army medal. It's beautiful and the best way to honor my father who was proud to serve his country in WWII.

Bought for a friend of ours who just lost her veteran husband. The look on her face after I put the flag in it and put it together was worth it.
Broken glass
By Nicole Lee
from South Dakota
Glass was broke inside the product where the screw was screwed to the wood. I purchased as a gift for my husband when he returned from overseas and did open the case, so did not notice immediately. After I noticed it, Miles Kimball would not replace because itwas after the 45 day window. INSPECT ITEM THOROUGHLY!! Is a sad reminder knowing the item glass is broken when looking at the display.
Bottom LineNo, I would not recommend this to a friend
Bad packaging ruined a good product!

The packaging allowed the corners to be chipped during shipment due to very poor interior and exterior wrap. This could so easily have been packaged for safe and secure shipping. What a shame to ruin a good product with cheap packaging!

Out Today: Aaron Thompson's Vessel EP
It looks like local troubadour Aaron Thompson has picked up and moved to New York City, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't cop his new EP. Thompson did, after all, live until recently in the District, releasing music through stalwart label Sockets.
He's also staffed the Vessel EP, which is out today, with some D.C. personnel, including percussionist Nathan Jurgenson (formerly of Phonic Riot, currently of really smart tweets about Internet culture) and Janel Leppin (of new-music duo Janel & Anthony). I've appreciated his songs in the past for their blend of old folk-music tropes and laptop-y atmosphere, but this set gets its power from a more orchestral, organic kind of ambience.
From the songs and from a recent promo video, it's clear Thompson has wanderlust on his mind. These songs follow him from foreign shores ("took the last boat to America, its ports a one way line," he sings in "In a Velvet City") to domestic coastlines. In "The Pines," the album's most powerful and least characteristic song, he waxes dystopic about (I think) a Gulf Coast oil spill, invoking the devil and communing with a terror-strewn natural world as his vocals are subsumed by a massive, apocalyptic string motif. It's really something.
You can buy the EP from Thompson's Bandcamp page, or stream it below.
Hey, and this isn't the only local release out today. Noisegazers Screen Vinyl Image and backpack rapper yU (I'm not just saying "backpack"; dude does wear a backpack) have new full-lengths, both of which are reviewed in this week's City Paper.

Hitch 22: A Memoir (original 2010; edition 2010)
by Christopher Hitchens
Work details
Hitch-22 by Christopher Hitchens (2010)
No current Talk conversations about this book.
Candid and very frank. Not for the squeamish or thin-skinned.
see this review:
Enjoyed the honesty and candor of this book. Interesting to see how his views came about. Used a lot of words that I had to look up. (One of the nice things about eReaders is the dictionary is included, but I did not read this on one of those.)
Boring. I had such high hopes but it just didn't pan out for me. I'm sure this was rivoting for political junkies but it seemed so stuffy and detached to me. Even the author's account of his mother's suicide seemed devoid of emotion.
Great Memoir of a Genius Critic. One is encouraged to read literature and think critically in all situations. I loved his connections made between the classics read and the book he led. If you are a reader than this book will be your cup of tea, or stick of dynamite (TNT).
Christopher Hitchens became dazzled by his "friendships" with the rich and powerful and turned into an apologist for war on Iraq. Terry Eagleton reads his new memoir –– and finds a man in conflict with every one of his own instincts.
Oedipus wrecked
The Oedipal children of the establishment have always proved useful to the left. Such ruling-class renegades have the grit, chutzpah, inside knowledge, effortless self-assurance, stylishness, fair conscience and bloody-mindedness of their social background, but can turn these patrician virtues to radical ends. The only trouble is that they tend to revert to type as they grow older, not least when political times are lean. The Paul Foots and Perry Andersons of this world are a rare breed. Men and women who began by bellowing "Out, out, out!" end up humiliating waiters and overrating Evelyn Waugh. Those who, like Christopher Hitchens, detest a cliché turn into one of the dreariest types of them all: the revolutionary hothead who learns how to stop worrying about imperialism and love Paul Wolfowitz.
That Hitchens represents a grievous loss to the left is beyond doubt. He is a superb writer, superior in wit and elegance to his hero George Orwell, and an unstanchably eloquent speaker. He has an insatiable curiosity about the modern world and an encyclopaedic knowledge of it, as well as an unflagging fascination with himself. Through getting to know all the right people, an instinct as inbuilt as his pancreas, he could tell you without missing a beat whom best to consult in Rabat about education policy in the Atlas Mountains. The same instinct leads to chummy lunches with Bill Deedes and Peregrine Worsthorne. In his younger days, he was not averse to dining with repulsive fat cats while giving them a piece of his political mind. Nowadays, one imagines, he just dines with repulsive fat cats. . . .
Hitchens acknowledges many people for their help, but interestingly no specific editor for this particular book. This is unfortunate: a good editor might have cut out 100 pages, pruned the moments of self-indulgence, reminded Hitchens that abuse is not equivalent to analysis and asked for a little more introspection. Read Christopher Hitchens, certainly, but not necessarily Hitch-22.
A generous friend, Mr. Hitchens gives most of his book's good lines (and there are many, a good deal of them unprintable here) to the people he loves. Those good lines including this one, from Clive James, who began a review of a Leonid Brezhnev memoir this way: "Here is a book so dull that a whirling dervish could read himself to sleep with it.... If it were read in the open air, birds would fall stunned from the sky." Whatever the opposite of that book is, Mr. Hitchens has written it.
Our protagonist is a bit of a disembodied brain, highly capable of poignancy but not exactly introspection or, as is welcome in memoirs, overwhelming indiscretion. (Would it be primitive to say that he seems so English in this way, though he's become an American citizen?) When he shares a tender memory, his preference is to quickly convert it into a larger political observation; for him, politics remains the most crucial sphere of moral and intellectual life.
When previously surveying his writerly recycling, I wrote, "I did not compile these examples to suggest that Hitchens has dined out on the same material for decades," but Hitch-22 made me start to wonder.

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0446540331, Hardcover)Over the course of his 60 years, Christopher Hitchens has been a citizen of both the United States and the United Kingdom. He has been both a socialist opposed to the war in Vietnam and a supporter of the U.S. war against Islamic extremism in Iraq. He has been both a foreign correspondent in some of the world's most dangerous places and a legendary bon vivant with an unquenchable thirst for alcohol and literature. He is a fervent atheist, raised as a Christian, by a mother whose Jewish heritage was not revealed to him until her suicide.
In other words, Christopher Hitchens contains multitudes. He sees all sides of an argument. And he believes the personal is political.
This is the story of his life, lived large.

Pithy. Not much here. Seems to be the norm of this new feature at DPReview.
It is too short, needs lots of examples, and for gosh sakes talk about all the prep, the planning, the packing, transport of stuff. Not much here that I can read. I have written better.
Talk about the how, the what, the specific. Nothing here that would help anyone going on a travel adventure.
In sum, a blah blah blah article.

Hey, what's up? I'm Shifty, Cynn's Lab pet. Take a good look, because next time you visit me, I'll probably be different!
I really want to be an Ice Hissi, like the Snowager. For a long time I was Faerie, because Faerie Hissis are so pretty, but now I'm back to going to the Lab and hoping for ice. The good news is, my stats are getting better!
Sweet! I'm a Lutari, now. And a mighty handsome one. I think I'll stay away from the Lab, now.

A Huntington Beach nonprofit is giving out $30,000 in scholarships to single parents who are low-income so they can get an education.
Project Self Sufficiency on June 17 will present 21 scholarships to residents for the 2011-12 academic year.
Coordinator Brigette Beisner said parents who benefit from the program rely more on scholarship funding to get an education because education funding is dwindling.
"These scholarship funds will make the difference for a low income, Huntington Beach single parent to stay in school and pay for things like books and rising child care costs," Beisner wrote in a statement.
Denise Patin, 45, recently walked at Cal State Fullerton's graduation ceremony and will complete her coursework to receive her bachelor's of science degree in Human Services in August.
Patin, a deaf single parent living in Huntington Beach, said the resources at PSS helped her obtain her degree. The nonprofit provided financial assistance so she could attend Cal State Fullerton, including providing a sign language interpreter for her classes.
"I loved it because they know that I cannot hear and where happy and able to provide a necessary reasonable accommodation to meet my need," Patin wrote in an email. "I find this support awesome."
Patin has two children, Brandon, 17, and Renise, 9, and she said PSS helped her to continue being a good mom while obtaining her degree so she could provide a better life for her family.
"The scholarship I received helped provide the basic living needs as well as paying for summer school tuition, parking permit, books and food," she wrote. "I know the children truly appreciate their mothers, because my children do appreciate me for being a mom and having the desire to do well in life."
Patin says she hopes to get a job after receiving her degree and to one day return the favor to PSS by becoming a donor to help other single parents succeed.
"I consider the Project Self Sufficiency foundation program a blessing," she wrote. "Otherwise, I would be lost and along as a single parent. This helps me get through the bumpy journey to get to where I would need to be."

When I was a kid, I had the six foot tall Frankenstein poster drawn by Jack Davis. Man, I bet it's a collector's item now and I don't even know what happened to it. Recklessness!
I've been reading about various literary film adaptations lately -- Revolutionary Road, The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, The Spirit, even a possible new Great Gatsby directed by Baz Luhrmann. This onslaught caused me to flash back to a vintage Mad Magazine comic (originally published before I was born, but available in countless reprints such as these). Here are the great Harvey Kurtzman and Jack Davis riffing on what happens when a book becomes a movie. First, we see the opening segment from their hypothetical novel:
And here's how the corresponding movie made from the novel starts:
Dash blast the gosh darned blankety heck! It's well known that the Kurtzman-era Mad comics of the 50s were among the high points of 20th Century civilization. As far as I'm concerned, it doesn't get much better than Book! Movie! by Harvey Kurtzman and Jack Davis from Mad #13, July 1954.

Erratic Steelers still searching for consistency
Updated: December 10, 2012, 4:06 PM ETAssociated Press
PITTSBURGH -- Casey Hampton believes greatness is still within reach for the Pittsburgh Steelers, even if at the moment the only thing Hampton's team has a firm grasp on is maddening inconsistency.
"Going forward I feel like we're going to win every game," the veteran nose tackle said. "That's what we've got to do to get in the playoffs."
Better that than try to rely on the kind of help the Steelers received on Sunday, when a demoralizing 34-24 home loss to San Diego did minimal damage ...

Thomas Cooke was born in 1603 at Karl's Colne, County of Essex, England. He came to America in 1635, landing in Boston. In 1639 he was living in Taunton, Massachusetts, and in 1643 finally removed to Portsmouth, Rhode Island, where he died in June, 1677.
Thomas Cooke married in England in 1626. His wife, born in 1605, was named Mary (Lindall?), her family name I have as yet been unable to find. Captain Cooke was a member for Portsmouth in the General Assembly of Rhode Island
in 1664. He had three sons, Thomas born 1626; John born 1631; George born 1633, and one daughter Sarah born 1632.
His son, John Cooke was a large land owner in Rhode Island
and elsewhere. He married, in 1649, Mary, daughter of Richard Bordon of Portsmouth and formerly of County Kent, England. In 1670, with his wife's brothers, the Bordens, the Claytons and other Rhode Islanders, he purchased land at Shrewsbury, New Jersey, but never lived there, remaining in Rhode Island where he died in 1677. His wife died in 1690, at the age of 57 years.
Thomas Cooke, Second
Son of Thomas Cooke, born 1628, married 1653, and had four sons, Thomas, Stephen, Ebenezer, Benjamin, and one daughter, Hannah. Of these, Thomas Cooke, 3rd, the oldest son, the first of the Cooke family to settle in New Jersey. He was born in 1654 and came to Shrewsbury in 1676. In that year he had warrents for land there issued to him. He added largely to his holdings and was a member of the House of Deputies of East New Jersey in 1693. In 1698 he resolved
to visit England and was lost at sea. He left a widow and three children, William, Thomas 4th and Elizabeth.
William Cooke, Esq.
Eldest son of Thomas Cooke 3rd, was born at Shrewsbury.
About 1730 he removed to Crosswicks, Chesterfield Township, Burlington County, and died there, intestate, and without issue, in 1760. Letters of administration were granted
August 29th, 1760, to his widow Mary (Clayton) Cooke and to William Clayton. He had been married at Chesterfield Meeting in 1723.
William Cooke was Judge of the Court of Common Pleas, Burlington County. He was elected a member of the General Assembly in 1738 and served with distinction until 1748.
He introduced many bills, serving constantly on prominent Committees, and was often appointed to wait on the Governor, or Council in reference to pending legislation. He died intestate and without issue in 1760. Under the old English law of Prime Geniture then prevailing, his great estates, estimated at more than 5000 acres and a large personalty, went to William Cooke, Junior, the eldest son of his brother Thomas 4th.
Thomas Cooke 4th, was the second son of Thomas Cooke 3rd. He was born at Shrewsbury, New Jersey, 1695 and removed to New Hanover near Crosswicks about 1730, and died there in January 1742. He married Abigail Emley, widow of William Emley. Her maiden name was Abaigail Borden. She was the daughter of James Borden of Burlington NJ, and a great granddaughter of Richard Borden of Portsmouth RI.
Thomas Cooke 4th, was grand nephew of John Cooke who as
has already been stated, married Mary Borden, who was the daughter of Richard Borden. She was therefore the great
aunt of Abaigail Borden, the before mentioned wife of Thomas Cooke. As Richard Y. Cooke married Lavinia Borden the 8th generation from Richard Borden of Portsmouth, RI these prior intermarriages between the two families are most interesting.
Thomas Cooke 4th left three children, William, born 1735; Benjamin and Elizabeth.
Son of Thomas Cooke 4th was born 1735. He inherited a considerable landed Estate from his father at his death in
1742. In 1760, as has been before stated, his uncle William Cooke Sr. dying intestate and without heirs, William Cooke Jr. fell heir to all his great landed estates and became probably the largest land owner in Eastern New Jersey.
He married in 1761, Achsah, daughter of John Middleton,
and great granddaughter of Lord John Middleton and Martha Carew. (See marriage record St. Andrew's Church, Holborn, England, Dec. 16th, 1666).
William Cooke Jr. held the following offices for the Township of New Hanover; Overseer of the Poor 1764; Assessor
1767; Constable 1771; Overseer of the Poor, 1774; Surveyor of Highways, 1775; Assessor, 1777; Freeholder, 1780; Assessor, 1777; Freeholder, 1780; Assessor 1781--1794. He then refused re-election.
He was commissioned as Cornet in Captain Shreve's troop
of Light Horse, of Burlington, in 1776. He was as ardent Whig and both tradition and the public records show that
he and his sons took active part in the Revoltionary struggle He had by his first wife, who died about 1801, seven sons: William 3rd, Joel, Thomas, John Middleton, Apollo, George, and Charles. By his second wife, Cathrine, he had three sons\ He died at Cookstown, October 1814.
Of the sons by the first marriage; William Cooke 3rd was Cornet in Captain Thomas' troop of Light Horse, and was
killed at Cedar Bridge, Dec. 27th, 1782. Thomas Cooke 5th was in the New Jersey Line Regular Army. Joel Cooke 1st.
was also in the New Jersey Line and was of the party which captured Bacon, the Tory refugee, who had shot Cornet Wiliam Cooke 3rd. After Bacon's capture he attempted to escape and seizing a musket fired on the officer, Stewart, who was guarding the door. Stewart returned the fire, the ball going through Bacon's body, and wounding Joel Cooke 1st, who nevertheless closed with Bacon and killed him after a hand to hand struggle.
Joel Cooke 1st was the second son of William Cooke 3rd.
He was born about 1764 and died about 1795. His son Joel Cooke 2nd was born after the fathers death. Either Joel Cooke or William Cooke was Chairman of the Committee of
Public Safty for Burlington County during the Revolutionary War. My Father, Joel Cooke 2nd had these records in his possession for many years, but were accidentally destroyed by fire. Joel Cooke 1st died from the effects of a wound recieved in a duel with General Lacey. His son,my father, told me that the duel was fought on Sunday in the Church yard at Crosswicks, and that the arrangments were made and his father called out from the service he was attending with his wife. The cause of the duel was Generay Lacey's connection with the attempt to remove General Washington from Command during the Revolutionary War, known as the "Conway Cabal". The Cookes were partisans of Washington, while Lacey had espoused the side of General Gates. This account my father had from his Mother.
Joel Cooke left a fair estate. My Father, however, was educated by his Grandfather. His mother having married
a second time. He described him as having been most kind to him, and always spoke of him in the most affectionate terms. When his grandfather married his second wife, about
1806, my father, Joel Cooke 2nd. came to Philadelphia, living in that city the rest of his life. He purchased (old) No. 189 Chestnut Street about the year 1835 and lived there until 1855. On July 22nd, 1834, he married Mary Paul Yerkes, only daughter of Titus Yerkes 2nd. She bore him four sons-- Gustavus Benson b. July 1838, d. Jan. 6, 1867; Joel 3rd b. March 20, 1842; Richard Yerkes b. Feb. 25,
1845; William, b. July 18, 1847, d. May 16, 1893. These
four sons were all born at (old) no.189 Chestnut Street
and almost directly opposite the entrance to Independence Hall.
Joel Cooke was for many years, because of repeated re-elections Alderman of Chestnut Ward of the Old City of Philadelphia. When consolidations took place, he declined further elections and retired to private life. He was always prominent in Whig politics, and the associate of William
B. Reed, Morton McMichael, George W. South, Thaddeus Stevens, and other leaders of that party in PA. He was a good citizen and an affectionate father. I count my greatest blessings that I had the benefit of his example and council in early manhood, and which he bore in the community, in which he lived nearly all his days. Of his sons, Gustavus Benson Cook died single. Joel cook 3rd married Mary Edmunds, Sept. 19, 1865, and had one son, George W. Childs Cook, B. April 21, 1868, and two daughters Annie E. Edmunds Cook b. Oct 5, 1866-d. July 11, 1867; and Mary Paul Cook, b. Feb. 16, 1872, Married Oct. 18, 1892 to Edmund Harris Kase.
3rd son, Richard Yerkes Cook married Lavinia Borden, March 10, 1868 and had one son Gustavus Wynne Cook b. dec.12, 1868, who married Nancy Munford Bright, June 1896.
4th son, William Cook b. July 18, 1848, d. May 16, 1893; Married Mary Earle, March 24, 1873, and had one son George 'Earle Cook.
It is worthy to note that Mary Earle, decended from Ralph Earle, was the grandniece of Mary Earle, Granddaughter of
Ralph Earle 1st who married John Borden in 1670. John Borden's sister, Mary, married John Cooke. John Cooke was grand uncle of William Cook.
JOEL COOKE 1st
Joel Cooke 1st was the second son of William Cooke,Jr. ( He married Kiturah Mars(or Meirs?). He had by her, one daughter and three sons, Mary, Anthony, John and Joel 2nd.
Anthony Cook was born about 1791. He married Nancy Taylor in 1822. He had by her 5 sons and three daughters; Joel 3rd Robert, Benjamin, John, Anthony Jr., Catharine(Snuff), Edna(Corwin) and Mary Ann(Bradstreet).
CATHARINE COOK 1828-1918 @ Morris Chapel-Berrien Twp.
Catharine Cook was born on June 2, 1828, married George Snuff(aka Schnorf) on Dec. 14, 1848 in Franklin,Ohio,moved to Niles,MI 1863-4. They had 6 children, one daughter and three sons,two died as infants. Nancy Jane born Dec. 7, 1849; Edgar Landis Snuff born May 1, 1851; Granville C. born Jan. 23, 1853, John W. Born Oct. 18, 1857. Nancy Jane Snuff married Wilber F. Long, on July 1, 1869. Edgar Landis Snuff married Sarah Amelia Foster, on Feb. 1875 in Niles Twp.,Michigan. John W. Snuff married Julia Ann Wolfgang, May 1, 1895. of Niles,Michigan.
*Daughter of Edgar and Amelia,Edith May Snuff married David Nelson Walker in 1901 (my great grandparents).
The spelling of the family name was always Cooke to the
time of John Cooke 2nd. about 1815. As he has himself told me, he dropped the final "E", and during the last sixty
years of his life spelled his name "Cook". My own preference is for the old English spelling, and if my descendants
shall see fit to adopt the family name it has been spelled for I do not know for how many years, but certainaly from the year 1600 to 1815, they may count my assent as having been given.
**This was probably written by Richard Yerkes Cooke.
Use at your own risk,some things don't fit right with what I had,but this looks like a well done Cooke/Cook history,and what do I know?.
Would like to share and compare genealogy notes and old photos with family members.

Make the New Crack Cocaine Guideline Retroactive
On April 30, the Sentencing Commission published what it calls an Issue for Comment on whether and how to make the crack guideline reduction apply so that people serving sentences for crack cocaine might benefit with the shorter sentence.
Families Against Mandatory Minimums (FAMM) needs your help to make sure the Commission hears loud and clear that the guideline reductions must be made retroactive!
We know that your voices can make a difference. Five years ago, when the Commission last considered voting to make a change to the crack guideline retroactive, FAMM members unleashed an avalanche of letters and other expressions of support that helped win the day. We can do it again.
The Commission counts signatures on a petition the same as the letters it receives. Please sign this petition today.

It looks fine and not cropped in the media library. If I insert the image into a page or post it is cropped down to 390px height Normally in WordPress you can insert the image into the post or page and scale it down to fit by just editing the html code. What's happening here is the image is being cropped in the vertical so that much of it is missing (cropping to 940 x 390). if I edit the functions.php to increase the vertical on the full image size to 940 x 550, I still get the same problem. Thanks Paul August 7, 2011 at 7:37 am #49718 DudeModerator Hey, You can choose the size in the image upload popup window which opens when you click on the "insert image" button on your post/page editor page.

What do you do after you get a string of Emmy nominations? Leave your parent's home, of course. Lena Dunham, who received four noms in 2012 for acting, writing, and directing, left the nest for a Brooklyn co-op that's modest by New York — and celebrity — standards. Abodes of Emmy stars, though, tend toward the lavish — if not in square footage, at least in price tag. Take your shoes off at the door and check out these celebrity cribs.

Jon Stewart, New Jersey riverfront home
"The Daily Show" host and perennial Emmy winner may poke fun at New Jersey, but that's because he knows it like his own backyard. He
purchased his mansion for $3.8 million back in 2010. Price tag aside, he's actually on the humbler side of the river -- all the better for Stewart to keep an eye on the swells (like, say, Jon Bon Jovi).

Adjective. It modifies "shooter," of course. It answers the question: "which shooter was it?"
English evolved from West Germanic, just as German did.
I'm a "certified" English expert, and I'm not quite sure I could define the term "past participle."
Well, that's a joke. As is teaching the concept in the first place.

Ask Billboard: Country, Where The Girls Aren't
By Gary Trust
Ask Billboard is updated every Friday. As always, submit your questions about Billboard charts, sales and airplay, as well as general music musings, to email@example.com. Please include your first and last name, as well as your city, state and country, if outside the U.S.
Hi Gary,
If I'm seeing correctly, there is not one female soloist appearing by herself as a lead artist on a title in the entire top 30 of this week's Country Songs chart.
How rare is that kind of chart boys club at the format?
Tom Kalina
Owosso, Michigan
Hi Tom,
You are correct.
And, what an insightful observation.
I posed your question to Billboard country chart manager Wade Jessen, who pain-stakingly (but in a labor of love) scoured the top 30 of every Country Songs chart since the survey converted from a collection of reported playlists to Nielsen BDS-monitored data the week of Jan. 20, 1990.
What Wade found turned into several e-mails among members of the chart department, as we realized that the issue was deserving of a thorough analysis.
With the input of those who program country radio, Wade looked not only at the current state of the format, but also its history as it pertains to female artists. (His take on the genre is so all-encompassing that it's the sole focus of this week's "Ask Billboard").
Please scroll to the next page for Wade's study on Country, Where the Girls Aren't.

Leonardo DiCaprio's stepbrother has been arrested in Texas.
Leonardo Dicaprio's stepbrother Adam Farrar has been arrested in Texas on drugs, theft and harassment charges. Police detained Farrar, 42, shortly after he attempted to visit his girlfriend Charity Moore at the Collin County Sheriff's Office.
Leonardo DiCaprio's Stepbrother Has Been Arrested
Lt. John Norton of the Collin County Sheriff's Office told People magazine, "Adam Farrar came in to visit an inmate, and we arrested him at that time.
"He is still in custody at this time," Norton adds. "Our district attorney's office will work with the state of California and coordinate what happens next."
Jane Robison, a Los Angeles County District Attorney spokeswoman said: "A bench warrant was issued last December for Farrar's drug case - he had pleaded guilty to possession of heroin and is supposed to be in a drug diversion program.
"He was charged in July 2013, he pleaded guilty in Sept. 2013, and he was due in court on Dec. 6, 2013, for a progress report, which resulted in a bench warrant."
DiCaprio Is Up For Best Actor at the Oscars
The couple are parents to six-year-old daughter Normandie who has been reported missing since July 2013.
Farrar is the child of George DiCaprio - Leonardo's father.
The 'Wolf of Wall Street' actor - who is nominated for best actor at the Oscars - is thought to have enjoyed a close relationship with Farrar growing up. Farrar also worked in entertainment - if only for a brief period - scoring roles on Battlestar Galactic, reports the Independent.

Manning is the Auburn Chamber of Commerce's new quarterback
By: Gloria Young,
After nearly 10 years on the board, Auburn resident is now the Chamber's president
After nearly a decade as an active member of the Auburn Chamber of Commerce board of directors and working in the Leadership Auburn program, Wayne Manning has taken the reins as president.
Manning and his wife, Janet, moved to Auburn in 2000 when he took over leadership of Unity of Auburn church. After nearly 30 years in the ministry, he retired in 2004 to devote his time to being a credentialed life and business coach with Academy for Excellence in Sacramento.
"Since then I have joined the faculty of the school and have become a coach trainer," he said. "My primary work is training other coaches through their certification process."
Manning got involved with the chamber not long after arriving in Auburn. Through the years he has served in various board capacities and on the executive team, just recently completing his term as president-elect.
"I enjoy the teamwork as much as anything — a group of people getting together, having good ideas and making things happen for the benefit of the community," he said.
And he's looking forward to the coming year as Auburn continues to dig out of the recession.
"We certainly want to continue doing what we are doing to help the economic recovery continue," he said. "Auburn has had a good past year — actually a pretty good past three years since a low in 2010."
Sales tax in the city of Auburn hit a low of $2.5 million in 2010, rebounding to $3.4 million for 2012, he said.
"The numbers are kind of telling," he said. "In the second quarter of 2012, we were almost 30 percent above the same quarter the previous year in sales tax revenue. The interesting thing I've found is, where in the past the recovery was led by one or two industries, in this case it was across the board through all kinds of products and services — illustrated by the fact that 79 of Auburn's top 100 businesses were growing in 2012."
That's nearly a 30 percent increase over the same quarter the previous year, he added.
"In terms of goals, we want to keep doing what we are doing and keep enhancing our relationship with the city and county," he said. "We have good partnerships there and want to keep nourishing those."
One of the major upcoming projects will be the chamber's move back to the former city hall building at Central Square.
"We should be able to accomplish that by early fall," Manning said. "The city is renovating and upgrading the entire building and making space available for us to go back to where we were for a lot of years."
In addition to bringing the chamber back into the center of downtown, the site offers access to a community meeting room.
"It's a large room available to us and others," he said. "We'll be able to have meetings and trainings there. It's also just closer to the heart of what's happening, which is what we really appreciate."
The chamber will likely retain ownership of the building it now occupies on upper Lincoln Way.
"It will become a leased property," he said.
As president, something he hopes to get off the ground is a plan to bring more visitors to experience Auburn's outdoor recreation opportunities.
"This would be a concerted effort with city and the chamber to bring more coordination in the wonderful outdoor events we have and offering those as packages to those out of the area to come and have an adventure weekend — whitewater rafting, kayaking, biking, hiking or a combination of those wonderful things," he said.
The packages, for example, would include transportation in and out of the canyon.
"You park in Auburn and everything is handled in Auburn, much like on a cruise ship," he said.
He stressed that the idea is in the early development stage.
"We're talking concepts and ideas and seeing it develop over the next two or three years," he said.
He'll also continue as day coordinator and session speaker with Leadership Auburn, a position that wins high praise from participants.
"It's one of the highlights that we get the most positive comments about every year from citizens who go through the program," chamber CEO Bruce Cosgrove said. "They comment on the value of what they learn about themselves through the brief sessions they have as a class with (him). … He's bringing really valuable communication and leadership skills to the chamber as a result of his background and experience."
Manning said his goal is to make himself as available as he can as the year unfolds.
"Our working slogan is 'On the Move in 2013.' We mean that both the chamber is on the move as well as Auburn — in a larger sense," he said. "We are so blessed in the last decade to have the leadership we've had with city council and the city manager being so aware when we saw all this coming and they positioned us very well for the downturn."
Manning will be involved in a variety of fronts, including economic development, membership development and public relations, Cosgrove said.
"He is personally focused on tourism promotion and recreation," Cosgrove said. "He sees those as viable growing segments of our business community here. He's also a very strong team builder and I think that that's going to be very valuable to us as an organization this year."
Manning and his wife, Janet, chose to stay in Auburn after he retired from the ministry because "we love it here and it is our home," he said.
Between the two, they have eight children who now have their own families. In his spare time, he enjoys golf, reading, canyon hiking, walking and movies.

Narrow your search
Even with its slow performance and lack of search filters, Yelp's incredible database of business listings and user-submitted data make it a must-have app for every mobile user.
Yelp is worth downloading for its massive database of reviews that help you decide if that hole-in-the-wall joint or five-star hotel is worth it.
The search giant is experimenting with tech that lets you use apps without downloading them. It's part of Google's plan to keep its crown when it comes to mobile search.
Technically Incorrect: Peeple, the much-reviled app that was going to let you rate people, has taken a slight pivot.
Technically Incorrect: Peeple is an app that allows you to be public with all those things that you have kept to yourself. Wouldn't you love to give your friends a one-star rating?
The business reviews site has suffered a string of blows this week, including the departure of its high-profile board chairman. Can it regain its footing?
The popular social media site is said to be seeking a sale for as much $3.5 billion, according to The Wall Street Journal.
The power of the Internet makes a takeout joint in Kona, Hawaii, one of the highest-reviewed US restaurants on Yelp.
The new page scours cities across the globe for the top restaurants, hotels, theaters, schools and landmarks.
Yelp pays $134 million for the food-ordering and delivery app, so users don't have to "cook, shop or wear pants."

My friends would describe me as the "baby whisperer" I love working with kids. I was a nanny for a family of 3 boys and their neighbors 2 children as well for almost 3 years and it was such a great job. I loved teaching the boys how to use their imagination to create new worlds. We would build Lego forts, play explorers in the nearby parks, and did plenty of crafts. The kids were ranged from 15 months to 9 years old so finding things to do for all ages was sometime a challenge, but a challenge I readily accepted. I have experience in potty training kids. I am great at following schedules as well as creating our own agenda, whichever you feel more comfortable with works for me.

I say NO LOL maybe more gas tax and maybe ClenAir in my lifetime in the city
Tax the polluters and their dirty machines!
Slightly increase gas tax and put a surcharge on new ICE car purchases over $40,000!!!
Leave the BEVs and PHEVs alone...
Politicians that want to tax EVs should be denounced as saboteurs of our future!
Politicians that want to tax EVs should be denounced as saboteurs of our future!
I like it good 1
I agree that if I use the roads, bridges, etc, I should pay.
However, the system needs to be fixed. Funds collected should only be designated for the roads.
You can solve all this by making a fee for vehicle miles traveled and the ICE fees should have a surcharge for polluting.
Don't forget the taxes on electricity generation and distribution. Taxing EV's for miles driven is really double taxation. Gov should consider allocating a portion of the taxes on electricity to road and bridge maintenance.
That would really put the gasheads over the top if they noticed a tax on their electric bill for road maintenance or if they knew any of the existing tax went toward roads because of EV. I say go for it.

Wat Hin Mak Peng
Forest temple on the Mekong
What we say:
Founded by the late Ajahn Thate, who was one of the two most revered forest meditation monks in Nong Khai history (the other being Ajahn Juan of Wat Phu Tok), Wat Hin Mak Peng was named after three massive boulders that sit along a narrow stretch of the Mekong.
Ajahn Thate passed away in 1994, and the forest monastery founded by this supposedly enlightened monk quickly became a prominent pilgrimage site. The grounds include a large chedi and mausoleum containing the monk's relics along with his few personal requisites and a bronze statue of him. There's also a life-like wax sculpture of Ajahn Thate that sits among a handful of temple buildings near the three boulders. The vast, sloped rocks are now off limits to visitors as they're perched many metres over the river, but you can walk along a series of picturesque riverside walkways with decent views over to a forested part of Laos.
The monastery grounds are spread over nearly two square kilometres, most of which remain nothing but forest. It's easy to find a quiet corner for meditation, but this is also a pleasant place to simply stroll around and soak up the peace and quiet. The grounds include simple monks' cabins (kuti) and a large pond. If you're not templed out by now, you might check out Phra Sutham Chedi at nearby Wat Aran Ban Pot, which is said to contain a pubic bone of the Buddha. Far out!
More details60km west of Nong Khai
How to get there: The temple is located right off Route 211, some seven km west of Sri Chiang Mai and 60 km from Nong Khai. It's well sign-posted if coming by motorbike. Alternately, you can catch the early bus from Nong Khai to Loei and ask to be dropped off at Wat Hin Mak Peng. Keep in mind however that only a few buses ply this route each day so it might be a long wait for the next one.

In Mississippi one of our largest industries is farming.
The USDA is almost completely closed for the duration of the shutdown. Without the USDA agricultural exports don't occur. Without USDA employees, the contract payments due under federal conservation programs like the CRP will not be made, and those payments are due now. Farmers rely on that money to pay their bank loans which may be timed to coincide with the payment date.
The Shutdown's ripple effects on the farming economy are already biting, but Mississippi's legislators don't seem to be at concerned enough to act. They are more interested in politicking than getting their farmers a new farm bill or living up to their federal contracts.

WASHINGTON, Aug 13: In an Independence Day message to the Pakistanis, US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton assured them that the United States was committed to helping Pakistan become a stable and secure state.
"Today, we take time to honour your sacrifices and renew our support for a stable and secure Pakistan for generations to come," she said.
Secretary Clinton also reminded the Pakistani people that the founder of their state, Mohammad Ali Jinnah, dreamt of a vibrant, self-reliant Pakistan, "a goal we all share".
She noted that since 1947, Pakistan "has persevered in the face of immense challenges to build upon the democratic ideals" of its founders.
"On behalf of President Obama and the people of the United States, I am delighted to send best wishes to the government and people of Pakistan."—Correspondent
