We love Frank Strozier – and think he's one of the greatest talents in jazz – period! This long-overdue CD brings together two of Frank's early 60s sessions for the Jazzland label – both of them gems that have lain under-discovered for years. Long Night is an excellent example of the maturity and modernism that was coming out of the Chicago jazz scene as it hit the early 60s – and it features Strozier's soulful alto in the company of some of the city's best players, like pianist Chris Anderson, drummer Walter Perkins, bassist Bill Lee, and baritonist Pat Patrick, playing here away from Sun Ra's group! The title track alone is an incredibly fantastic composition, full of moodiness and incredible reed work – but the rest of the record's great, too, and features excellent originals like "The Need For Love", "The Crystal Ball", and "Pacemaker". March Of The Siamese Children continues the trend – with a sound that goes far beyond the hardbop and soul jazz in which Strozier first cut his teeth – into a mode that's angular and exploratory, yet also still warmly expressive – filled with a richness of sound that holds up fantastically year after year. Titles include "March Of The Siamese Children", "Our Waltz", "Hey Lee", "Lap", "Extension", and "Something I Dreamed Last Night". © 1996-2016, Dusty Groove, Inc.
We realize that there are many different interpretations of the standard grades used for pre-owned vinyl record albums & CD, so we thought we'd offer you the ones that we are working with, so you have an idea what we mean when we give the grade for a non-new item on our pages.
Below are stated conditions for a used vinyl records at Dusty Groove. Grading for the cover should be assumed to be near (within a "+" or "-") the grading for the vinyl. If there is significant divergence from the condition of the vinyl, or specific flaws, these will be noted in the comments section of the item. However, please be aware that since the emphasis of this site is towards the music listener, our main concern is with the vinyl of any used item we sell. Additionally, please note that all of our records are graded visually; considering the volume of used vinyl we handle, it is impossible for us to listen to each record. If we spot any significant flaws, we make every attempt to listen through them and note how they play.
The following grading conditions apply to the vinyl component of an album or single:
This is what it says, that the record is still held fast in shrink-wrap. We tend to be pretty suspicious about these things, so if the shrink-wrap doesn't look original, or if the record seems to have undergone some damage over time, we'll probably take it out of the wrapper to ensure that it's in good shape — which is why we don't have more of these. In some cases the shrink-wrap may be torn in spots, but if it's not possible the record has been taken out and played, the record will still qualify as "Sealed".
Dusty Groove does not use the grades of Near Mint (or Mint, for that matter) because in our experience, we find that no records ever qualify for such a high grade. Even sealed records tend to have one or two slight faults, enough to usually qualify them for a grade of NM- or lower. We've often found that records which are clearly unplayed will have a slight amount of surface noise, especially in quieter recordings.
This is a grade we rarely use, as we try not to sell records in very bad condition, though in some rare cases we will list a record in such bad shape that it does not conform to the standards above. A "Fair" record will have enough marks or significant flaws that it does not even qualify as "Good", but is a copy you might consider for playing, if you're willing to put up with noise and/or flaws. An example might be a recording with surface noise so heavy that it is equal to the volume of the music. For records listed as "Fair", we will describe the extent of the condition in the comments.
Like "Fair", we rarely list records in this condition, as they represent the extreme low end of spectrum. These records typically have multiple serious problems, and we offer them as "relics" or "objects" only — for those who want to at least have a copy of a record, even if it is not really worthy of play, perhaps for the cover alone. For these records, we will describe the extent of the condition in the comments.
If something is noteworthy, we try to note it in the comments — especially if it is an oddity that is the only wrong thing about the record. This might include, but isn't limited to, warped records, tracks that skip, cover damage or wear as noted above, or strictly cosmetic flaws.
We have only one grade for non-new CDs at Dusty Groove — "Used CD". This grade is somewhat all-encompassing, but we choose it because we try to offer Used CDs in the best shape possible. All of our Used CDs are guaranteed to play without skipping or flaws. If you purchase a Used CD from Dusty Groove, you have 1 week to play it to determine that it plays correctly — and if it does not, then you may return it for a full refund.
With our Used CDs, you can expect the disc to be free of all but the lightest of surface marks — clean, and not dirty at all. You can also expect the case to be clean (we often change the cases ourselves — putting fresh cases on Used CDs we handle) — and you can expect the booklet to be in good shape, unless noted otherwise. We will list any specific details/defects underneath the item — so look for notes on cutout marks in the case, stamps on the barcode, or details like that.

Being Pregnant is WONDERFUL! With pics :)

Wednesday, May 29, 2013
I can't believe it's been so long since I blogged! Life has been pretty crazy lately, but in some great ways. I could list them all, but honestly... why bother? They're over, and things are settling down now.
On the 8th, I had an Ultrasound. Ultrasounds are not without risks, and they can make some people more anxious (and an ambiguous ultrasound is often used to justify more invasive tests), but I really wanted one. I needed to see that my baby has a brain, and a spinal cord, and functioning organs so that I could rest easy. And I figured, "Well, might as well find out the baby's sex, too!"
So we decided to have a gender reveal party! We had a voting board where folks could guess baby's gender, size, and whether s/he'd be early, on time, or late. The votes were HEAVILY in favor of Boy, 8-9lbs, and Late. We also set up a Dinosaur Decorating table where everyone painted a little wooden dino for the baby's mobile and played an Old Wive's Tale game for activities. We had fabulous food based on my cravings -- chips and salsa, salmon, and cheese for the savory side; cookies and milk, berries, and chocolate (in the form of question mark cupcakes) for the sweet. And for the actual reveal, we had a PINATA! I had given the gender, written by the Ultrasound tech in a sealed envelope, to my BFF, and she filled up a pinata with wrapped candy. So when the reveal happened, it was a surprise for Miles and me, too!
My friend shot a video of the reveal, but since it's just on his FB page I can't really share it -- sorry. But the big deal is that IT'S A GIRL!
Of course, most of you know that from reading my little Friend Feed updates.
I'm so excited to have a girl. I would have been thrilled with a little boy too, but I really do feel like I'm meant to have a daughter. Miles is really excited to have a daughter, too, and to raise her right. We're going to raise an awesome, empowered, bold little girl! Her name is Josephine, after Jo from Little Women, and I hope she gets a lot of the character's traits.
Having the name, seeing the Ultrasound pictures, and of course, feeling her move have all made this pregnancy so much more REAL. During the 1st trimester, I mostly felt icky and paranoid. Now, I know that things are going smoothly, I can feel her dance and kick and squirm, we've painted the room and started building the furniture... This is really happening!
Being pregnant really is wonderful. It's an awesome excuse to sit in funny positions and do yoga poses at work. I get to practice relaxation techniques every night. I cut my caffeine consumption down without a problem and I don't even remotely miss alcohol. I've never felt better about my body. Oh sure, I weigh 184lbs now -- about what I did when I joined SparkPeople in 2008 -- but I LOVE my belly! And these changes are FASCINATING! I mean, come on -- I have an extra human inside me! MIND-BLOWING FACT: I HAVE THE EGGS TAT WILL GROW INTO MY GRANDCHILDREN GROWING INSIDE OF ME RIGHT NOW. Biology is neat.
I'm trying to be as healthy as possible, but I will admit that I am a far cry from my Whole30 self. I don't really mind this, because with an expected intake of ~2400 calories per day and a total lack of calcium in prenatal vitamins, I really need the grains and dairy in my life. What I DON'T need is the daily dessert that I've been enjoying for quite some time.
That said, it hasn't stopped me from getting all the right stuff! Miles and I have a CSA share that started 4 weeks ago, so every day I'm eating organic vegetables, especially dark leafy greens. I get LOTS of protein from a wide variety of sources (meat, low-mercury fish, dairy, nut butters). And of course, I'm exercising! The intensity is steadily dropping as the weeks go by, but I'm still averaging 35 minutes per day.
I'm also getting geared up for the birth. We're taking Bradley Method classes and I'm reading "Birthing from Within," which are both really confirming our choice to birth out of the hospital. I'm so grateful that I have the opportunity to make the birth a positive experience for me, Miles, and (of course!) our daughter.
But before that can happen, well, I have to keep expanding! Here are some pictures of the progress being made!
Here I am at 17 weeks, in mid-April.
This is at 21 1/2 weeks -- I'd really popped! And I've gotten even bigger in the past week and a half!
Here she is! This is actually one of the best Ultrasound pictures I've ever seen -- I can't believe how clearly I can see her lil' nose!
Stage 1 of the nursery is done -- painting. We're halfway through stage 2 -- assembling the furniture. How awesome is that crib?
So, there's my long-winded update. Being pregnant is the bomb.
...Remind me of that in 12 weeks when I feel like I'm going to explode, okay?

I"m on ATT and I was worse.
I actually did a total wipe and then installed iOS 6 on my 4s via my computer. Happened to be that I was at home all day on wifi and it was the day that my billing period resets as well. Figured I'd update and set up as new and my onboard counter would be all reset for the month blah blah. I don't keep copies of my apps on the computer to say hard drive space (really not needed since I can redownload as many times as I need right). So I logged back into iCloud, hit all the right buttons in my apps purchased list. turns on iTunes Match and started downloading the couple of playlists I wanted and like 2 tv show eps that were SD. ALL while my iphone claimed it was on my wifi which is about 5 ft away.
I went to make dinner and when I came back, perhaps 2 hours later, I had a text that I had used 65%, 90%, all of my monthly data. ***? I was on wifi. I even looked in the usage counter in the settings and zero cell data usage. Which makes sense cause all the 'use cell data' switches were off and I was "allegedly" in wifi.
I went into ATT to see just how far over I was. i'm on the 300MB plan cause I'm always in wifi or using my ipad for my heavy internet stuff. typically I use maybe 150MB of data in a month for the random imessage and voice mails. It said I had used 10GB of data. Do the math on how many 300MB plans that used up. Needless to say I was livid.
I called ATT and after three levels of supervisors they finally agreed to all but the regular plan when it posts to my account for payment. But AppleCare had zero clue there was a problem. So I've been stuck having to turn off cell data in the hopes that it really is off and call in for voice mail etc. Not cool.
This and a myriad of other bugs is why I'm not crying that Forstall is gone. I've heard he is a total *** and it feels like he was too focused on cutesy cosmetic BS and not on fixing bugs in the software. Cook and the rest probably got tired of losing money cause of having to appease folks over their wasted time, swaps for wifi totally tanking etc.

When I called Apple Care on Oct 3rd they sure didn't offer to call ATT for me. They acted like they had no clue this issue existed outside of the already fixed Verizon issue.

Well Rogers has finally admitted that there is a problem with the iOS6.
Mattsmithsa Nov 2, 2012 4:59 AM
in response to Christopher Parrott
So IOS 6.0.1 has been released.
2 of the fixes are:
- Resolves an issue that prevents iPhone from using the cellular network in some instances
- Consolidated the Use Cellular Data switch for iTunes Match
So hopefully that sorts our problems out - but still doesn't help me with my $1000 excess data bill. Am still waiting for my carrier to get back to me.
ItsNotTheSameWithoutSteve Nov 2, 2012 5:44 AM
in response to Christopher Parrott
Finally! 6.0.1 is released.
Only after hundreds of thousands of people were told they were the only person to call about this while we've all been told to bend over and pay our giant bills.
You should be ashamed Apple. Tim Should spend more time fixing problems with his devices and stop commenting about the surface tablet.
While you are re-writing that apology to Samsung, you should write one for us too.
With a check to go along with it.

in response to ItsNotTheSameWithoutSteve
Yeah, iOS6.0.1 is out, but from what I am reading online it has not fixed this problem at all. Personally, I'm steering clear of iOS6.0.1 for now. I'd rather have a jailbreak so I can get inside the phone myself and see what's going on, as well as installing some software that can switch my data off if I near my limit.
It appears Apple is not acknowledging this problem at all. It doesn't exist. ***?!

Good Gawd! I haven't come across any posts on that yet.....are they here? Can you post a link? I have a small computer repair shop here and post all of this on my site and FB page.
So far so good for me, but then again, I have not yet been outside my range today yet to see if cellular data skyrockets at 200mb per minute. It runs like water......people WILL run to Android over this if they don't admit to this and get this fixed across the board. I read they are going to release another larger update after the holidays.
At this point, we won't HAVE any money for the holidays due to the huge bills we all owe.
And so we wait.....

Not sure if Apple realises that in countries like Australia , companies like Vodafone charge 25 cents per megabyte (yes mega) over the user's cap.
My wife had 4GB chewed up between 1am and 8am one morning, Vodafone instantly sent us an SMS satiting we had gone over our 1.5GB cap and we already had over $700 to pay them.
The problem is, when we tell them, there is an iOS6 bug, they say bluntly that Apple has not confirmed anything and that we must pay the bill.
1) First of all, who charges $250 per Gigabyte (25c / Megabyte) for excess data, come on Vodafone, seriously?
2) Secondly, APPLE! Can you please confirm this issue!? Do you know how many of the older iPhone users out
there would simply turn right off smart phones because of this? ("A phone is a phone I say").
3)Lastly, maybe help advice companies like Vodafone on what their customers should do in the mean time. Surely the amount of excess data charges generated has surpassed 1 millon dollars by now (I alone have 0.01% of that).
It will take more than this before I start recommending Android over Apple to old people (parents and my older clients) but I must say, for me it is Android FTW on this topic.
Here is a link to a Vodafone forum where people are complaining about thousands of dollars of excess data, and Vodafone saying things like "Apple has not confirmed this issue" Nobody likes unexpected data usage" and basically ending up tellign people to pay their bills pay your bill etc.:

Perhaps since Steve Jobs has been out of the picture the product testing and atetntion to detail has suffered.

Hi Michael, Same with Virgin Mobile in Sydney. 21c/MB excess data charge. They are not ready to accept this as a common issue and waive off the fee/address it to Apple/do anything about it. Do you think contacting TIO, ACCC or the Department of Fair Trading or Consumer Affairs would be any help ?
Mattsmithsa Nov 5, 2012 10:45 PM
in response to Christopher Parrott
So here in South Africa, Vodacom has offered me 50% off my horrendous data overcharge as an offer of goodwill.
I'm going to accept it, paying $500 instead of $1000 still hurts, but it's better than nothing.
iPhone 5 hasn't launched here yet, but following this drama I'm seriously considering making the move to Samsung.
Good luck to everyone here!

http://www.dailytech.com/Apple+CEO+Tim+Cook+Intervenes+in+Unlocking+iPhone+3GS+f or+ATT+Customer+in+Canada/article24282.htm
Inabiltiy to unlock iPhone won't cause an impact on iPhone sales like a data overrun. Even worse is data overruns will cancel cell phone accounts and future iPhone sales. Too expensive accessories and non-retroactive overcharges makes me want to overspend on non-Apple iDevices. I've stopped recommending iDevices from Apple due to so many costly problems. Oh well.

Hi, I have managed to get Vodafone to refund my excess data charges after Apple admitted on the sly that yes, there is a problem. So my advice is to not give up!! Of course, it is entirely up to you whether you pay part of the bill but bear in mind Vodacom is a Vodafone opco so in my opinion it is worth fighting this. I escalated my issue straight to the top and it took weeks but I managed to get them to listen in the end.
The latest update 6.0.1. has a fix in place:
Resolves an issue that prevents iPhone from using the cellular network in some instances
Apple wouldn't put this fix in place unless they was a problem....it's a relatively small number of customers affected so that's why a big fuss isn't being made. Of course, for those of us affected this is a huge issue!

Hi Guys,
Been watching this post with much fear and anticipation. Was all fired up to go get myself an iPhone but hit the handbrake when i came accross this post.
I, like Mattsmithsa, am based in South Africa.
Have you guys seen any improvement with IOS 6 update ?
Just did my ipad with the update but doubt i will see a diff. The ipad lives at home on the Wi-Fi and i use top up Data for the 3G. When its finished its finished. No chance of nasty surprise.
It came with a prepaid 1GB sim card. didnt last very long now that i think about it lol.
Mattsmithsa... What do you reckon bud? Better or no change ?
I was, and still kinda am, amped to get an iPhone. Fed up with BB and not wild about S3
Your thoughts and opinions much appreciated.
Cheers lads

I am considering purchasing one of the Dahon 26" folding bikes (the Jack model). I want to be able to use this bike for touring, so I need to find out whether I can attach front & rear racks and a pannier bag system (bags mounted to both the front and back). Can a rear rack be attached to the bike? If so, will the bike still fold properly? (Same questions for the front rack.) Will most standard pannier bag systems work with this bike?
I notice that in the accessories category on the Dahon website, there are rear racks available for the 16" and 20" bikes, but they do not have a rear rack that fits the 26" bikes. I am wondering if this is because a rear rack cannot be mounted on the 26" bikes, or is there some other reason?
Thanks for any help with this.

You can rest easy knowing that any choice you make from our list is sure to please.
Schlitterbahn Kansas City Waterpark
If physical growth is any indication of popularity then Schlitterbahn has unquestionably become a hot spot for cool activities. This waterpark 'resort' has undergone several multi-million dollar expansions, and opens the world's tallest water slide - Verrȕckt � for the 2014 season. There are plenty of other activities too, from watery roller coasters and a 3000-foot river full of rapids to more than a dozen mini slides and multiple beaches. Relax in a giant hot tub and swim right up to a refreshment bar. Surfers can practice here, float enthusiasts can experience a tidal wave river and adventurers can check out the Storm Blaster � Schlitterbahn's unusual uphill water roller coaster. And where else can guests float in tubes throughout a park without leaving the water? (913-312-3110)
Arrowhead Stadium
Home of the beloved Chiefs, Arrowhead has seen more than its share of great NFLers, including Joe Montana, Marcus Allen, Derrick Thomas, Len Dawson, and colorful head coach Hank Stram. For more than 25 years, crowds of rabid, red-clad fans have crowded into Arrowhead each fall to cheer and holler for the Chiefs. If you get the chance, make it to a Raiders game, since no other team brings out the Chiefs' emotions like this inter-divisional rival. (816-920-9300, 800-676-5488)
Harry S. Truman Home
This historic site offers a glimpse at the 33rd president's life and career. The white, Victorian-style home looks much as it did in the early 20th century, complete with period antiques and family heirlooms. During the Truman presidency, the home was referred to as the "Summer White House." The site also features the homes of Bess Truman's two brothers and the home of the president's aunt (on nearby Delaware Street). Tours are limited to eight people, and tickets are time-specific, issued on a first-come, first-served basis. (816-254-9929, 816-254-7199)
Kansas City Zoological Park
Explore the wild Australian outback, the Kenyan savannah, or the deepest, darkest Congolese jungle at this state-of-the-art zoo. The 200-plus acre complex is home to more than 1500 animals, including polar bears, apes, elephants, birds of prey, and more than a few big cats. An extensive renovation program in the 1990s added $71 million worth of improvements and took only five years to complete, doubling the zoo's area and tripling its population. Golf cart tours are available; reserve in advance. (816-513-5700)
Negro Leagues Baseball Museum
This unique museum utilizes film, memorabilia, and other exhibits to track a remarkable chapter of American sports history. Guests use computers to access 3-D information on the league's history and players, play challenging trivia games, and learn basic baseball techniques. An interactive playground allows visitors to "bat" against video images of major-league pitchers inside a 44-foot-wide batting cage, which also features a virtual umpire and measurements of how far your hits travel. While you're there, make sure to check out the phenomenal collection of books, videos, and one-of-a-kind gift ideas at the museum's "Extra Inning Store." (816-221-1920, 888-221-6526)
Sprint Center
Since it opened in 2007, Sprint Center has become synonymous with entertainment in downtown Kansas City, whether visitors attend sports competitions, concerts or special events. A striking curved glass exterior enfolds an arena that seats as many as 18,000 patrons, depending on the individual event. During college, professional and amateur sporting events a 16 LED screen scoreboard ups the excitement ante. Named the nation's fourth busiest arena and the world's 14th busiest live entertainment venue, by Pollstar Magazine (2014), Sprint Center also easily accommodates Broadway shows such as Jesus Christ Superstar and iconic musicians as diverse as Paul McCartney or Cher. (816-949-7100)
Liberty Memorial and National World War One Museum
Officially the only US museum devoted solely to World War I, Liberty Memorial displays objects collected beginning on Armistice Day (November 11, 1918) at war's end. The permanent exhibits, then, seek to explain and interpret the varied holdings. The memorial itself is composed of a 217-foot tower, the museum building, two sphinxes representing Memory and Future, the Great Frieze (depicting man's journey from war to peace), and connecting courtyards and stairways. Great for history buffs and visitors wanting to learn more about the Great War. (816-784-1918)
Kauffman Center
Kansas City, Missouri's skyline changed dramatically in 2011 with completion of this immediately iconic structure. Designed by renowned architect, Moshe Safdie, the breathtaking modern building with sun-drenched lobby offers two performance halls that host music, opera, theater and dance programs from throughout the world. Pitch-perfect acoustics, dramatic lighting and inviting color schemes have created a spectacular performance venue. For the Kansas City Ballet, Kansas City Symphony and Lyric Opera of Kansas City, the Kauffman Center for the Performing Arts is a long-awaited new home. For local and visiting performers alike this venue offers a beautiful and technologically superior space in which to delight and inspire audiences. (816-994-7200)
Union Station
Originally the rail terminal for 12 main lines and 30 subsidiary lines, this circa-1914 building was renovated in 1997 as a $188 million entertainment center. The gorgeous facility was treated to an historically accurate restoration and now shines with dramatic turn-of-the-century architecture. Other station attractions include an interactive children's science center, shops and restaurants, an exhibit on KC's railroad history, movie screens, a live theater stage, and even the return of railroad service, thanks to Amtrak. In addition, a covered walkway connects Union Station to Crown Center (a retail venue) and the Hyatt Regency. (816-460-2020, 877-724-2489)
Nelson Atkins Museum of Art
Established in 1933, this museum is among America's premier art institutions, boasting a variety of prestigious works dating from antiquity to the present. Indeed, the Atkins is renowned for its magnificent collection of rare European, American, and Asian art. The 17-acre Sculpture Park features the largest stateside collection of bronzes by British sculptor Henry Moore, featuring significant work from Africa, Oceania, and the Americas. The museum's prolific art history research library houses 93,000 volumes. (816-751-1278)

The second installment of Universal Pictures' Snow White and the Huntsman franchise is in the works, but expect some significant changes. According to Deadline, the studio is talks with Frank Darabont to helm a follow-up to the 2012 action fantasy that will focus on Chris Hemsworth's Huntsman rather than Kristen Stewart's Snow White.
The shift is so pronounced that the website contends Universal is referring to the film as a spinoff rather than a sequel. TheWrap adds that "Snow White" may even be dropped from the title.
The extent of Stewart's involvement isn't clear, but TheWrap suggests if she appears at all, it will likely only be in a cameo. Charlize Theron is expected to reprise her role as Ravenna, the evil queen.
Because the first one wasn't bad enough? Hemsworth must really need that paycheck to do a second one….
Hemsworth was the only thing that made the movie the least bit interesting. And Theron as always good on the eyes.
just before I looked at the receipt ov $8130 , I
didn't believe that my sister woz like actualy bringing in money part-time from
there pretty old laptop. . there aunts neighbour has been doing this 4 only
about 22 months and at present repayed the mortgage on their appartment and
bought themselves a Chrysler . see here Moneyduties.COM
isn't Theron's character dead?
why not make a totally new movie with Hemsworth and forget Snow White ever happened? it was awful people!

The Piper Baker's Rack offered everything we needed. It is very easy to set up - just flip the three shelves down. It is the perfect weight not too heavy not too light. Nice solid construction and holds many plants. The only thing we wished we had done differently was to order the four shelf version instead of this three shelf version. We ended up ordering the four shelf version later and they look great together on our back deck.
- How did the color on site compare with the actual product? Black is Black - color was great
- Please tell us about the quality of the product. Quality was very good - good weight / nice welds / perfect finish
- How accurate was the on site description of the product? very accurately
easily assembled, looks good
Much better than I expected. Well made, heavy enough to sit well on my patio and accommodates all my herbs and plants. I highly recommend this product.
This rack was exactly what I wanted and at a great price too. However, after taking it out of the box and removing the zip ties, I noticed I couldn't bring the top two shelves down from the folded position. The top left hinge was bent inward. It's real sturdy construction, I can't bend that piece back with my own hands. Since the box was in mint condition, and no paint was damaged in the area, I feel like it was manufactured like this at the factory. Disappointing, but I am going to try to have someone fix it and then I'll repaint. It should look great on my deck with plants next Spring/Summer.
- How did the color on site compare with the actual product? Yes, a matte black
- How accurate was the on site description of the product? My rack doesn't open up like the picture
This baker's rack is certainly fine and does the trick, in spite of a couple of obvious flaws, but it is absolutely NOT worth the price I paid.
- Did the color match the color displayed onsite? Yes
- How is the quality of the product? A part of it is noticably bent. Quality is fine, not great for the price.
- Did the description onsite accurately describe the product? Yes.
This is a nice item, but apparently I received the one that Sad in Texas returned. The top shelf is bent, one leg is bent, the top decorative curl is bent and one leg was missing the caster cup. Must have just taken the damaged item and sent it back out. The box was torn and there were smashed pieces of plastic, so I assume that was the caster cup. Very poor packaging. Don't want to spend the money to return it. I recommend the Baker's Rack, but poor experience here.
This is the first time I have to send something back to Overstock. The top shelf and one leg were bent when I took the rack out of the box. The rack looked very cheap. Not worth the money.
- Did the color match the color displayed onsite? The color was fine.
- How is the quality of the product? One shelf and one leg were bent.
- Did the description onsite accurately describe the product? It didn't look as nice as the picture.
Heavy duty for such a great price. Very impressed with the overall look and construction. I plan to order another one.
inexpensive an perfect for my Lanai (that's Floridian for back portch). I put a coat of spraypaint over the black and it went on fine and covered nicely.

Homecoming: Soldiers return after holidays
January 5, 2011
By Susanne Kappler, Fort Jackson Leader
FORT JACKSON, S.C. -- For more than 7,500 Soldiers who train at Fort Jackson, the holiday season came to an end with their return from Victory Block Leave Monday. More than 8,500 Soldiers left the post Dec. 16, but about 1,000 moved on to Advanced Individual Training or other assignments.
After returning, the Soldiers had to sign in at the Solomon Center before being sent back to their units for drug testing and refresher training, explained Maj. Michael Ufford with the Fort Jackson G3.
Ufford said that planning for Victory Block Leave began in July.
Aca,!A"The biggest challenge is linking all the voices involved in this massive puzzle,Aca,!A? he said. Aca,!A"Just about everybody on this post is affected by, if not directly involved in, Victory Block Leave; from directorates (and) units, to civilian contractors, as well as other military installations and organizations like Fort Benning and Fort Gordon and TRADOC and (civilian partners) like the Columbia, Charlotte and Atlanta airports and the Columbia Amtrak station.Aca,!A?
Ufford emphasized that one of the toughest challenges is coordinating ticket sales, which he said went extremely well.
Aca,!A"When all is said and done, I think all involved Aca,!" the units, directorates and civilian organizations Aca,!" can be proud of themselves for successfully executing a very challenging undertaking.Aca,!A?
But not all Soldiers went home for the holidays. Almost 200 Soldiers stayed at Fort Jackson for various reasons. Some chose to save leave or money, while others were scheduled to leave the Army for medical or other reasons, said Maj. Thomas Adkins, executive officer of the 1st Battalion, 13th Infantry Regiment, which was designated as this yearAca,!a,,cs holdover battalion.
For Pvt. Nicole Bryan, who is in Basic Combat Training with Company F, 3rd Battalion, 13th Infantry Regiment, the decision to stay was about wanting to stay in shape throughout the holiday season.
Aca,!A"If I had gone home, I would have been so excited about seeing family and friends and just spending the holidays,Aca,!A? Bryan said. Aca,!A"I knew that I would probably be too busy just spending the time with them instead of working out like I should be. Here (we have) had PT in the morning, so itAca,!a,,cs definitely benefitting me a lot more than going home.Aca,!A?
Adkins said that physical training is the only mandatory training event for Soldiers during Victory Block Leave.
Aca,!A"PT is nothing too strenuous because we have all different levels of people Aca,!" from red phase all the way to just short of graduation Aca,!" so we have to kind of trim it down to the lowest common denominator,Aca,!A? he explained.
For the rest of the time, the Soldiers were able to participate in a number of activities organized by Family and Morale, Welfare and Recreation and the USO. For Pvt. Travis Briles, Company B, 2nd Battalion, 39th Infantry Regiment, one of the highlights was attending sporting events, such as NBA and NFL games in Charlotte, University of South Carolina basketball games and the Meineke Car Care Bowl.
Aca,!A"ThatAca,!a,,cs something that most people donAca,!a,,ct have the opportunity to do (that) often,Aca,!A? Briles said. Aca,!A"IAca,!a,,cve had a great time.Aca,!A?
Other activities included trips to the zoo, movie theater, shopping mall and bowling alley, as well as video game and athletic competitions.
On Christmas Eve, Soldiers were presented a special meal by the 3rd Battalion, 13th Infantry Regiment dining facility before attending a USO holiday party.
Aca,!A"I havenAca,!a,,ct eaten this good in a long time,Aca,!A? said Pvt. Devin Rickard, Company B, 2-39th. Aca,!A"They fed us really well.Aca,!A?
For Bryan, being with her fellow Soldiers helped ease the pain of being away from home on Christmas for the first time.
Aca,!A"People around you make you feel like youAca,!a,,cre family. And the Army is your family now,Aca,!A? she said. Aca,!A"We were looking out for each other because we understood that people were upset because they couldnAca,!a,,ct go home, and maybe it wasnAca,!a,,ct their choice that they couldnAca,!a,,ct go home. ... There was a day when I was really upset, and a couple of my battle buddies were talking to me, and they helped me get my mind off things.Aca,!A?
Rickard said he doesnAca,!a,,ct regret staying on Fort Jackson for the holidays.
Aca,!A"You save a lot of leave, you save a lot of pay ... and youAca,!a,,cre guaranteed three meals a day,Aca,!A? Rickard said. Aca,!A"You get the chance to do PT, to keep in shape, to keep in the Army mindset. That way, whenever (we) go back to basic training, I feel like weAca,!a,,cre going to be a step ahead of our comrades who went home.Aca,!A?

Commando squad leaders: separated by age, united by country
December 24, 2010
By Sgt. Ben Watson, Special Operations Task Force - South
Story Highlights
- Ibrahim joined the ANA in 2004 at the age of 17.
- Diatullah joined the same year, after returning to Afghanistan following a ten-year absence.
- Today they run missions beside the same SOTF-South mentor who trained them in 2008.
KANDAHAR, Afghanistan -- When Diatullah returned to Afghanistan following a nine-year absence from his home in central Afghanistan, 17-year-old Ibrahim just enlisted in the Afghan National Army. Diatullah joined the ANA shortly afterward. That was six years ago.
Since then, 39-year-old Diatullah and 23-year-old Ibrahim have run missions together in Kandahar, Zabul and Helmand provinces as ANA Commandos trained by members of Special Operations Task Force - South, near Kandahar Airfield.
Today they are squad leaders in the ANA's 3rd Commando Kandak, assisted by the same SOTF-South weapons sergeant who trained them in 2008.
"Last trip I worked with them on just about every mission, and we did similar direct-action missions then as we're doing now," said the weapons sergeant.
"I was one of the lead advisers for their company and platoon; and comparing this squad to the others, [Ibrahim and Diatullah's] leadership has definitely trickled down to the commandos in their squad," he said.
Born just 30 miles from each other but separated by more than 17 years, Diatullah and Ibrahim arrived at the ANA from very different places in life.
As an adolescent, Ibrahim had been attending school near his home in Baghlan province when the Taliban rose to power in the mid-1990s.
"When the Taliban came, they didn't let us go to school anymore, so my family moved to Pakistan where it was safer for us," Ibrahim said. "But we wanted very much to get back to our country and to live in our home again."
Once they received word that the Taliban had been removed from power by early 2002, Ibrahim and his family moved back to Baghlan and back to their family's compound. But by then, he said, he had reached the age where his family now depended on him to earn money to help provide for everyone.
Joining the ANA allowed Ibrahim to take care of his two biggest concerns at the time: patriotism and family.
"Even today, when I go back home on leave, I tell the young people that they can support their family and serve their country if they become a commando," he said.
Diatullah has served his country in two different decades of fighting.
In the 1980s, he fought the Soviets as a young man with the mujahedeen. It was a difficult time, he said, because the Soviets conscripted his brother to be a soldier in the Soviet army.
"For six months he was gone in Moscow for training to become an officer," Diatullah said.
Not long after returning to Afghanistan, he got word that his brother was killed in a tank battle. Diatullah was wounded in fighting during that period, but it was a minor injury to his leg and not something with lasting effects.
Then life slowly began stabilizing for Diatullah's family after the Soviets left Afghanistan, he said. By this time, his family was just his mother and his wife.
But when the Taliban rose to power, Diatullah's family moved to Iran for safety. Then tragedy befell them all when a dispute with an Iranian soldier landed Diatullah in prison for seven years. He never saw them alive again.
"When I returned to Parwan," he said, "I found that my wife and my mother had just died. I had only two younger brothers and no job."
So Diatullah joined the ANA as a 33-year-old experienced fighter. His SOTF-South mentors have warmed to him because of his maturity and experience - and his signature mustache.
"We call him 'mustache' because he looks like that guy on the coffee can," said the SOTF-South weapons sergeant. "He's an old dude, but he and 'Rahim' are about the best I could ask for when working with a partnered force."
A SOTF-South engineer sergeant said he's worked with Diatullah and Ibrahim for the last four missions, and both are "probably the most squared-away" of all the commandos.
"They're all proactive when we're out there pulling security throughout the night," he said. "Their assertiveness - you should hear 'Rahim' yell - and their concern for the most basic needs of their soldiers gives them credibility. Their squads listen when they talk."
During their latest mission in Kandahar province's Zhari district, Diatullah spent the early part of their first evening teaching their fellow commando, Rahmad, how to write up a guard roster for the squad's evening watch.
Once the squad began their shift on an evening when temperatures dipped below freezing, both Ibrahim and Diatullah took turns adding logs to the fire they built to keep their squad warm throughout the evening.
"We have worked with each other for about five years, and he has become my closest friend," Ibrahim said.
Both Ibrahim and Diatullah hope to continue their success as commandos, with the goal of one day earning selection for training as a member of the ANA Special Forces.
"We can't worry too much about the future of Afghanistan, because that is up to God," Diatullah said. "But I hope that one day we can help it become at least as secure as other foreign countries."

As they enter the exhibition, attendees assume the identity of a real Titanic passenger and then move through a series of dramatic galleries filled with many never-before-seen artifacts recovered from the ocean floor."As New York City was the intended final destination of the maiden voyage of Titanic, it has been a privilege to bring her and her story home," stated Cheryl Mure, Vice President of Education for Premier Exhibitions, Inc. "We are saddened to leave at the end of February, but we are so pleased to have had the opportunity to honor the legacy of Titanic, her passengers, and crew to the hundreds of thousands of New York City residents and visitors who attended this Exhibition." "We are so proud to have opened Discovery Times Square Exposition with Titanic, a world class exhibition that has never been able to make a stop in NYC until now," said James Sanna, President and Executive Producer of Running Subway Productions, an experienced New York-based event producer and promoter. "We are pleased that so many New Yorkers and visitors and were able to experience this piece of history and we are committed to continuing to present other fascinating and important exhibitions in the future." Highlights of the Exhibition, which has been seen by more than 22 million people worldwide, include a scaled recreation of the Grand Staircase, replicas of first- and third-class cabins, clothing and personal effects of passengers, and undisturbed bottles filled with champagne from the Ship. Additionally, the Exhibition displays a number of artifacts that explain and explore the Ship's construction, life on board, and the ill-fated night of the sinking, as well as recent artifact rescue efforts. The artifacts in the Exhibition are preserved through a painstaking process which begins with a 12 hour dive to the Titanic wreck site. Once an artifact is recovered, it must undergo conservation following carefully designed processes to remove rust and salt deposits. After a period of six months to two years, artifacts can be conserved using treatments that are compatible with each artifact's construction materials. Meet Molly Brown Special Event "Keep rowing or I'll throw you all overboard!" Those are the immortal words of Mrs. J. J. "Molly" Brown. Meet the unsinkable Molly Brown during the month of February at Discovery Times Square Exposition and hear the story of Titanic's fateful sinking in her own words. Molly Brown was one the most colorful characters of the 20th Century and the night of April 14, 1912 was just the tip of the iceberg. At first blush, Molly seems like a precursor to today's most photographed heiresses Ivanka Trump, Amanda Hearst and Paris Hilton - famous for being famous - but in reality she was no mere debutante. One of the leading suffragettes of her day, Molly twice ran for public office and was an early leader in the battle for women's rights. In 1914 Molly organized a group of "martially inclined women" ready to "shoulder the rifle and fight side by side with the men". She mediated a coal miners strike, and fought for better working conditions through her association with the Garment Workers' Union and the Women's Peace association and relief corps. She was famously "ready with her purse" for any woman in need of help. Molly Brown will be in the Titanic galleries ready to share her stories from 2pm to 4pm and again from 6pm to 8pm on Wednesday, February 10, 17, and 24. "Meet Molly Brown" is free with admission to Titanic: The Artifact Exhibition . Tickets to Titanic: The Artifact Exhibition are available through February 28, 2010 at www.DiscoveryTSX.com, at the Discovery TSX box office located at 226 West 44th Street and by phone at 866-9-TSXNYC. The exhibition is open seven days a week, from 10AM – 8PM every Sunday through Thursday and from 10AM – 9PM on Fridays and Saturdays. RMS TITANIC, INC. RMS Titanic, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Premier Exhibitions, Inc., is the only company permitted by law to recover objects from the wreck site of Titanic. The Company was granted salvor-in-possession rights to the wreck site of Titanic by a United States federal court in 1994 and has conducted seven research and recovery expeditions to Titanic's debris field and recovered more than 5,500 artifacts. Premier Exhibitions, Inc. is a major provider of museum-quality touring exhibitions throughout the world.

The girl who lost her mother and siblings in a house fire in Nineveh will receive more than $7,000 from a charity motorcycle ride.
About 100 motorcycle riders helped raise the money in July during the Aley's Ride hosted by the 8th Day Riders group. The group, based out of Edinburgh, promotes safety when riding motorcycles after multiple people were killed in accidents in recent years. It also has been helping lead charity rides throughout the year, group chaplain David Whitehead said.
The $7,336 has been put into a trust fund for her to use for her education and counseling, Whitehead said. The motorcycle group is presenting the money to her and her father today in Edinburgh.
Aley Slusher-Abbott survived the deadly house fire in November that killed her brother and sister, both of whom were younger than 2. Her mother, Sirena Slusher-Abbott, died days later from burns and smoke inhalation after she tried to rescue her two children from the flames.

Première transmission:
Strasbourg, France - European Parliament
Fin de production:
- statements by the Rapporteurs, Council and Commission Background: Current EU law does not impose specific deadlines on member states for deciding on asylum applications. To iron out differences between national asylum procedures, the new rules bring in common deadlines for handling asylum applications (a standard six-month deadline with limited exceptions), stricter rules on training staff dealing with asylum seekers and new provisions for the special needs of unaccompanied minors and other vulnerable persons. -Minimum reception conditions: A shortlist of grounds for detaining asylum seekers, decent detention and living conditions, an early assessment of asylum seekers' medical and psychological needs and swifter access to the labour market (nine months after lodging an asylum application) are among the key improvements to the 2003 reception conditions directive. As a general rule, if asylum seekers are detained, they will have to be placed in specialised detention facilities. -No transfers to countries unable to cope: The Dublin regulation determines which country is responsible for dealing with an asylum request (usually the one through which the asylum seeker first entered the EU). Under the new rules, asylum seekers will not be transferred to EU countries where there is a risk of inhuman or degrading treatment. These rules will also introduce an early-warning mechanism to help tackle problems in national asylum systems before they turn into crises. -Police access to asylum seekers' database: Finally, member states' police forces and Europol will have access to asylum seekers' fingerprints in the Eurodac database, to help them fight terrorism and serious crime. At the request of MEPs, stricter data-protection provisions and new safeguards to ensure that data is not used for other purposes, will apply.

Exterior view of the European Parliament, Strasbourg, France (1 shot)
SOUNDBITE (Spanish): Antonio MASIP HIDALGO (S&D, ES): "I think that trough this legislation we are going to remove the cruel and humain automatism which makes the asylum seekers, who are being persued in their own countries, as soon as they come, they end up in prison, we will be able to put an end to. The asylum seekers can only be rejected for 6 particular reasons now, this directive is also going to try and to remove any condition of lack of protection which forces people to live out in the streets."
SOUNDBITE (Swedish): Ceciliq WIKSTRÖM, (ALDE, SE): "Single minors arriving should not just have the right to join their parents, but also brother, sisters, aunts, mothers, fathers, or grand parents who are residents in one of our states."
SOUNDBITE (Romanian): Monica LUISA MACOVEI (EPP, RO): "The data base is useful for a number of reasons, there are situation where for example where someone seeks asylum in France, later also in Germany and the UK. The various jurisdictions are able to refer to the Eurodac database to see whether or not an applicant has already applied in an EU Member State. There have also been a number of situations where asylum applicants have said they were tortured in their country of origin on a certain date, but according to the data base they were already on EU territory."
SOUNDBITE (Romanian): Monica LUISA MACOVEI (EPP, RO): "What is new in this report that investigating authorities will have access to this data base for the purpose of terrorism or serious crime investigation."
SOUNDBITE (French): Sylvie GUILLAUME, (S&D, FR): "According to the Nationality of the Asylum seeker the level of protection various, for instance if somebody from Afghanistan looks for Asylum in Europe the protection can go from 8 percent up to 80 percent from the country we are talking about. It is important to revise this directive, it is in interest of the asylum seeker and of the Member States, but of course this has not been a calm process."
SOUNDBITE (English): Lucinda Creighton, Irish Minister for European Affairs, speaking on behalf of the Irish EU Council Presidency: "One of the innovation elements arising from the negotiations was the inclusion in Dublin regulation was the mechanism for early warning, preparedness and crisis management. The mechanism allows for an active and early response to situation where the Asylum system of a Member state is subject to particular pressure or has problems in its functioning. It provides for structured and escalating action in order to address any deficiencies and problems before the situation becomes a fully fledges crisis."
SOUNDBITE (English): Cecilia Malmström, EU Commissioner for Home Affairs: "There will be a general deadline of 6 months for normal asylum procedures. Asylum seekers will no longer to have to wait years for a decision. This will of course reduce Human suffering; but also save money because people will not depend on economic and social assistance. The new rules in the Asylum procedures and in the reception condition directive mean that Asylum seekers with special needs will be quickly identified, they will receive the necessary support to explain the claim and adequate reception conditions, and there will be greater protection for unaccompanied minors and victims of torture."

Verified Patient Reviews
Dr. Hendler was a delight to see. In a great mood, good sense of humor and very straight forward. I read reviews before going so I anticipated his assistant to be less delightful. While she isn't the most chatty woman, you can tell she knows what she's doing. She isn't forthcoming with info or directions but politely answers your questions when asked. No wait.
Dr. Handler was very friendly and went through my medical history thoroughly. I feel like he understood my concerns and doesn't over medicate. He has a great sense of humor and made me feel at ease. His office staff is very friendly as well. I'm glad to have found my new PCP!
Nurse was rude. Dr acted in a rush.
He's very thorough and makes you feel like your health is in good hands, unlike those larger doctors' offices that make you feel like they're all about high turnover.
I'm writing this a probably right now as it really depends on the results from my test. That is, will see how he delivers results before I give a final rating. But for the most part I think the visit was great.
I could not be more pleased with Dr. Hendler or his staff. I highly recommend.
It's was excellent
He was professional and irreverent which I found funny and made the experience last stressed
Great visit to the Dr. I felt very comfortable with Dr. Hendler. Will definitely be going back and would highly recommend him to friends.
Dr. Hendler was very professional and made me feel very comfortable.
He is a great doctor seems to care about his patients
Was rushed.., didn't solve anything.. Never got results back.....
So far so good. There were minor hiccups but nothing worth commenting on. I will have a better basis to evaluate after my upcoming follow up visit..
Dr. Hendler's office went out of their way to fit me into a very tight end of the year schedule. After hours of finding no availability with other local doctors, Dr. Hendler's office had a last minute cancellation, called me back and fit in a physical as well as an illness consult. They were friendly, courteous and professional. Any previous reviewers who evaluate a doctor and his/her office based on their office surroundings are clearly using the wrong criteria in measuring the skill of the doctor and staff that work there. Thank you Dr. Hendler!
The staff didn't make you feel like you were just another patient, they were helpful and made u feel like you were at home. Dr. Hendler explained everything to me in a way that made me feel good about wanting to get better. I definitely recommend this office to anyone looking for a a Dr. that cares!
They had my appointment time incorrect... but decided to blame me for their error. The receptionist was extremely rude, and not willing to help in any way. There were no patients there, but it was still a big production to try and work me in. The doctor is a nice guy at least.
He was very nice, thorough, knowledgable and helpful. The only negative was that the office seemed quite dated, rundown and messy/unorganized, but the quality of care was good! The receptionist style was a bit rough around the edges as well.
Very nice doctor and he has a great office staff!
Very nice and friendly...will def recommend.
The visit was very quick. He didn't ask many questions.
The doctor was fine but his front desk girl was horrible. Acted like she didn't even want to be at the office and was not polite at all. She made the wait time uncomfortable.
He was great.
Dr. Hendler was very knowledgeable and answered all of my questions. The lab messed up my tests which was a little aggravating, but other than that the experience was great.

Peter Falk, best known for playing TV's Columbo, died Thursday night at the age of 83. A family spokesman confirmed the actor's death with CBS News.
Falk, who won four Emmy Awards for his Columbo portrayal, last played the rumpled detective in the 2003 TV movie Columbo Likes the Nightlife. He also received Oscar nominations for his roles in Murder, Inc. and Frank Capra's Pocketful of Miracles. In 1961 he became the first actor to be nominated for an Oscar and an Emmy in the same year.
Falk suffered from Alzheimer's disease and in 2009 was placed in conservatorship. He's survived by Shera, his wife of 34 years, and two daughters.
For those keeping an eye on the celebrity-deaths-come-in-three rule, Falk is the third celebrity to pass away recently (the other two being Ryan Dunn and Bruce Springsteen's saxophone player Clarence Clemons).

Poles, in black and white
A new book examines how Jews perceived their Polish neighbors during the Holocaust, and documents a shift from one extreme to another.
"Anu Yehudei Polin? Hayehasim Beyn Yehudim Lapolanim Betekufat Hashoah Min Hahebet Hayehudi" ("We Polish Jews - Polish-Jewish Relations during the Holocaust: The Jewish Perspective" ) by Havi Dreifuss (Ben-Sasson ). Yad Vashem Publications, 280 pages, NIS 78
The Holocaust of the Jews of Poland has been studied by a relatively large number of historians - relative, that is, to Romania and Tunisia, but not relative to the actual size of the largest Jewish community in Europe before the war, which numbered more than 3.5 million people.
Nevertheless, as in contemplating Pablo Picasso's painting "Guernica," you can always find new aspects by studying the details and the picture as a whole. The new historians are dealing, for example, with a new field - image and perception - and this is the subject of this new study by Havi Dreifuss . "We Polish Jews - Polish-Jewish Relations during the Holocaust: The Jewish Perspective" (in Hebrew ) shows how the perceived image of a people is not just a philosophical or aesthetic matter, but rather a historical and even a current issue.
In the book, Dreifuss describes an interesting change in how the Jews perceived the Poles during the Holocaust. As raw materials, she uses only testimonies from that time, because she wants to recreate that perception as it looked in "real time." In the collective Jewish memory, the Poles are accused of indifference, if not collaboration; the Righteous Gentiles (of whom there were more in Poland than anywhere else ) are the exception that proves the rule.
Dreifuss relies on materials produced in Poland during the war - in Polish, Yiddish and Hebrew - and especially on the Oneg Shabbat archive kept by Emanuel Ringelblum, which was buried in milk cans in the Warsaw Ghetto and most of which was discovered after the war. She sketches a transition from a positive perception of the Poles to the very negative one that has remained with us until recently.
However, in 1939, with the outbreak of the war, the Jews remembered positively their joint effort against the German invader, in which which Jews and Poles fought shoulder to shoulder in defense of Poland.
For hundreds of years, Poland swung back and forth between aspiring to be a Catholic nation state and aspiring to be a multicultural state that would include Jews. In the independent Poland established after the Treaty of Versailles in 1919, the second model seemed to prevail. For the first time, Jews were given equal rights, and they - including the Orthodox Jews - began to grow closer to the Poles and Polish culture.
In the 1930s, nationalism, which saw the Jews as a problem in need of a solution, gained the upper hand. Nonetheless, in 1939 the Jews believed that they and their Polish neighbors were sharing the same fate and the same catastrophe, and took some comfort in this.
For example, Yiddish poet Zusman Segalovich wrote at that time: "Then Jews and Christians proved / their shared fortitude / The same ceaseless language of guns / The same stabbing, angry eyes / The same crushing cannon fire."
Anti-Semitic language and incidents were considered exceptions, and even harassment of Jewish soldiers by Christian commanders "contradicted the overall image of the Poles held by many Jews, and could not dispel it."
Dreifuss demonstrates that during the first years of German occupation, the Jews' positive image of the Poles gained even firmer footing. She quotes Chaim Aron Kaplan, who wrote in his diary: "At long last the Poles too have begun to understand that the hatred of Jews that the occupier is spreading among them is nothing but opium, an intoxicating drink to dazzle them and turn their eyes away from the real hater."
In fact, even during their isolation in the ghettos, when as Czeslaw Milosz wrote in his poem "Campo dei Fiori" they were "the lonely / forgotten by the world": The Jews yearned to believe they "had a strong bond of courage with the forces of freedom outside the wall," to the Polish smugglers, for example, or those hidden in the ghetto to prevent their deportation to labor camps in Germany.
The author suggests a psychological explanation for how this positive image took such firm root at such a difficult time: "The shared fate of Jews and Poles at the start of the war created a certain lens through which the Jews looked at the Poles ... In situations of stress ... one of the mechanisms that enables a person to cope is reliance on a known and stable world. When the reality of the familiar existence is lost and the contexts of normal life disappear, the individual needs a strong anchor."
An image shatters
However, from 1942 onward, the Jews' positive image of the Poles shattered. Testimonies from eastern Poland about their participation in the slaughter, as well as their general apathy amid the destruction of the ghettos and the sending of the Jews to slaughter, led to an extreme change. The taste of the neighbors' betrayal was caustic. Mordechai Gebirtig, author of the song "It Is Burning," wrote: "The pain is terrible, not because of the foreign foe - because of them, Poland's daughters and sons / whose land will weaken them too when the day comes / who with their wicked laughter watch how our bitter foe, who is also their bitter foe / abuses the young and shows no mercy to the old."
And Mieczyslaw Parker-Pokorny wrote in his diary: "And to think that we Jews lived for hundreds of years among people who in truth are wolves, plain and simple, who lurk to tear us to shreds."
From then on the Jews saw the Poles as no less bitter enemies than the Germans, and perhaps even more so. Just as the image had been initially positive despite the reality (Poles harming, exploiting, robbing, informing on and even murdering Jews ), now the image became negative, even though there were many Poles working to save Jews - more than in any other country in occupied Europe .
It would be interesting to examine whether this perception also changed among ideological groups that from the outset, even before the war, believed in the alliance between the Jews and the Poles, such as the Bundists. Did they try to cling to the positive image despite everything, or did they sober up even more? And did the people of Agudas Israel, for example, have to go through such a far-reaching process?
In any case, image perception is not a theoretical matter but rather one with very practical import. The survivors (less than one-tenth of pre-war Polish Jewry ) returned to Poland with a very negative image of their countrymen, and it is no wonder that most were easily persuaded that Jews had no future in that country. Would they have tried to start new lives in the land of their birth had they retained the positive images of 1939? It is hard to say, but the Jews certainly packed up that negative image with them when they left Poland, and that is the perception that took hold in Israel.
In the decades after the war, it was easier to hate the communist, poorer Poland than it was to hate "the other Germany," which went through an economic miracle. And thus, at a time when we had already almost forgiven Germany, the schadenfreude and resentment toward Poland remained.
Now that Poland is a member of the European Union and also has gone through an economic miracle, its image is changing again and many people are already seeing "the other Poland." Contributing to this, undoubtedly, is Poles' reckoning of conscience that started in the 1980s, regarding both the Holocaust (such as the recognition of the slaughter of the Jews of Jedwabne by Poles, in July 1941 ) and the establishment's anti-Semitism of the end of the 1960s.
The Poles' side
Memory and guilt are the subject of "Facing Memory: The Polish Account," a recent collection of articles written by Poles (edited and translated into Hebrew by Miri Paz, Hakibbutz Hameuchad, 2007 ). In this collection, Polish writers address questions about their guilt - meaning, questions of image. Joanna Tokarska-Bakir, for example, asks: "How are the Poles translating what they know - about themselves and about the Holocaust - into Polish non-guilt?"
Further along, the author hones in on the attempt to transform guilt into non-guilt and thus - alas - her research becomes relevant to Israel of our day. We too, after all, are very familiar with the attempt to free ourselves of guilt, to dismiss all criticism as anti-Semitism and to transform guilt into non-guilt.
And in fact, anyone who reads these two books will find it hard to avoid thoughts about the resemblance between the current situation, especially the perception of the Arabs in Israel, which never remains merely a perception, and that of the Jews in Poland before the war. Comparative research of this sort has not yet been conducted, but the modern-day milk cans are filling up with testimonies.
