Skip to comments.An unhyphenated people [Interesting take on British attitudes towards Jews]
Posted on 06/13/2006 6:31:01 PM PDT by Sabramerican
An unhyphenated people ashley perry, THE JERUSALEM POST Jun. 14, 2006
People often ask me where my family is from. I reply Britain, and they invariably ask me where my grandparents came from, and I reply again, Britain. Sometimes they will ask where my great-grandparents or great-great-grandparents came from and the reply is still Britain.
This answer is usually met with incredulity as most assume that Anglo-Jewry is in the main no more than two or three generations old and has its origins in Eastern Europe. When I tell these same people that I am in fact 17th-generation British, I am met with disbelieving and astonished looks.
The fact is my family has been in Britain for 350 years and, unlike most of Anglo-Jewry today, we are Sephardim (Jews of Spanish and Portuguese ancestry). My ancestors were admitted to England shortly after the English Civil War, when the Lord Protector Oliver Cromwell, having won a raging battle against the Monarchists, needed financiers to reinvigorate the war-torn English economy.
Rabbi Menassah Ben Israel of the Amsterdam community petitioned Cromwell to readmit Jews to a land which had not officially seen a Jew in over 360 years. Cromwell accepted the petition but only after a heated exchange with those who sought to prevent Jews from being readmitted.
The first Jewish community in Britain for centuries consisted of no more than a handful of families who arrived from the thriving Sephardi Jewish community in Amsterdam to try their luck in London. After a few more years and the addition of new families, the first synagogue was built, namely Bevis Marks, which still stands, although sadly under-used, in the City of London.
My rich Sephardi-Anglo background, with its honorary titles and coats-of-arms, leaves me somewhat divided. While on the one hand I am proud of what British Jewry has achieved, on the other I am saddened by what being British has made the Jews.
"Britishness" is a hotly debated subject in those Isles today; many are asking what British means and how one attains this appellation. As opposed to some other parts of the world, it is not done to apply an adjective to your nationality. You cannot be "African-British" or "Asian-British." It is far more simple than that, you are either British, or you are not.
UNLIKE MOST other minorities, Jews can hide all elements of their heritage and become "British." This has led to a quandary for many Jews, especially in this generation. Jews no longer want to be outsiders in any way, and with help from a certain amount of antipathy they have morphed into the British cultural and social landscape with few, if any, discernible characteristics.
British Jews, unlike their American counterparts, have anglicized their names and their customs. My father and grandfather both felt it necessary to change their name from the foreign-sounding Pereira-Perez to Perry as they went off to fight "Johnny-Foreigner" in the two world wars.
Anglo-Jewry has literally had to take its kippa off its head, as Chief Rabbi Jonathan Sacks suggested due to security concerns a few years ago.
I have my own personal opinions as to why British mistrust and suspicion of the Jews is so different and perhaps at a higher social level than most other forms of world-wide anti-Semitism.
The British consider themselves the height of civilization, the founders of democracy and the force that brought culture to much of the world. However, there is one people that has lived with the British for many years, reminding them that their civilization is relatively new.
A good example of this was a retort by prime minister Benjamin Disraeli to an anti-Semitic remark aimed at him in the House of Commons: "When the right honorable gentlemen's ancestors were savages on an unknown Island, mine were priests in the Temple of Solomon," Disraeli responded.
FOR THE BRITISH, who like to look down their noses at most nations in the world, there is one people among them who constantly remind them of their humble beginnings. I do believe that this rankles the British upper and literary social set, which finds its manifestations in the so-called chattering classes.
A few years ago Penelope Wyatt reported in the Spectator the remark of a peer in her upper-middle class social milieu: "Thank God, we can once again say what we want about the Jews."
While in most Western countries anti-Semitism is usually the bastion of the underprivileged and those from the lower-socioeconomic classes, in Britain its strongest protagonists are to be found at the opposite end of the social spectrum.
As Anglo-Jewry celebrates 350 years since its readmittance, I look back on my own familial Anglo-Jewish narrative with a mixture of pride, interest, and a heavy dose of consternation. Anglo-Jewry faces an uncertain future as it struggles for its own identity.
As for me, I have made my choice. From my side of the family, at least, there will not be an 18th British generation. I have returned to Israel, where my roots extend far deeper than those of my sojourn in the British Isles.
The writer is development coordinator for the Jewish People's Project at the Jerusalem Center for Public Affairs. He made aliya five years ago and lives in Efrat.
Just the right day for this to show up.
He should have stayed because Britain is so hospitable to Jews. Just as long as they don't acknowledge that they are Jews.
What leads you to believe that?
For his allegiance is in the end, towards G-d. Which one gathers, yours is not. Can understand why you'd be jealous. Richard the Lionhearted would understand the pilgrim's position, Richard went to Jerusalem to live too. Left England in a rot, too. Robin Hood and all that, eh?
rootless cosmopolitan bumpski
Hence the writer moved to Israel.
The same was true of John Walker Lindh and Richard Reed, but they were still traitors. This guy might not be a terrorist or an enemy combatant, but he's still badmouthing what he should consider his homeland in a foreign paper and it doesn't speak well of him.
I have Jewish relatives who emigrated to Israel myself and I don't think badly of them for it, but so far as I know they didn't take it upon themselves when they got there to put down America. The UK may have it's problems, but on the whole it is still a good and honorable country.
FRmail me to be added or removed from this Judaic/pro-Israel/Russian Jewry ping list.
Warning! This is a high-volume ping list.
So the clerk ask: "What new name do you wish to have?"
"Ivan Ivanovich Ivanov"
No the same was not true of the killers and terrorists -- Lindh, Reed, Al Queda, Hamas, etc. Not by my G-d, at least, who recognizes the difference between good and evil. Would you be approaching some onset of a moral-relativism flu of of spirit? For your sake I hope not.
You haven't made a peep about Iraqui Americans who returned to Iraq, have you?
I seriously doubt that a Scot would be asked or tolerate being asked if he is a Scot or British.
If your allegiance to "G-d" causes you to insult your homeland publicly in a foreign country then you're a dirtbag. The one exception being if you come from some despotic hellhole like North Korea or Sudan. However even refugees from these godawful places usually still love their country. They generally just hate their governments.
Yeah, where that Ambassador publicly wondered why everybody has to pay so much attention to that sh!!!y little country... And then there's the islamicization of England. I can certainly understand why this fellow didn't feel welcome, even after 350 years.
That was France, not the UK.
"British Jews, unlike their American counterparts, have anglicized their names and their customs."
The author evidentally has not met any assimilated, southern Jews in the United States, whose families go back to Colonial days on this continent.
Are there many left? As a kid, I read a book called Mr. Benjamin's Sword, about Judah P. Benjamin, and it inspired me to go looking up the history of Jews in the US. Turned out that a large percentage, from what I gathered even the majority (until maybe the late 19th or early 20th century) were in the South.
If you could tell me a bit more, I'd be grateful.
Well, he made good on his declarations and moved to the Holy Land. What would you have preferred?
My family goes back 5 generations in the United States. Yes, we are all proud Americans, but my children have also chosen paths that led them to Canada, Israel, and Russia.
None can squelch a twit quite like an Englishman. With his telling of the Disraeli squelch, the author makes most clear his essentially English weltanschaung.
Okay, so I am not going crazy... :)
Some Americans make the false accusation that British Jews in general are not loyal to the UK. I suspect that the allegiance of those Americans is to Rome.
Why did the Chief Rabbi of London have to warn English Jews not to wear skull-caps in public?
All European nations are tribal. It's not necessarily bad, but for someone who considers immigrating, United States (or Canada or Australia) would be a better choice.
Where did he insult his homeland? What he did was point out that antisemitism pervades the British upper classes. That's a criticism, not an insult.
People often ask me where my family is from. I reply Britain, and they invariably ask me where my grandparents came from, and I reply again, Britain. Sometimes they will ask where my great-grandparents or great-great-grandparents came from and the reply is still Britain.
It reminds me a Russian joke:
Some guy comes to the civil records office and ask for change of his name.
The clerk says: "It will cost you a lot"
The guy answers: "I don't care. I have to change my name".
So the clerk ask: "What new name do you wish to have?"
"Pyotr Petrovich Petrov"
Clerk writes it down and asks: "Good, and what is you present name?"
"Ivan Ivanovitch Ivanov"
Clerks stares at the customer with curiosity, and says:
"Ivan Iwanovich Ivanov is a very good Russian name! Why do you want to change it?"
"Because people always ask me - what was your previous name?"
The linked story merits a second look after reading this author's opinion.
Why would the British Monarchy be jealous of the success of the Jews?
I LOVE Oliver Cromwell. A SMART man, as well as a (necessarily) brutal bastard when he needed to be.
If only a NEW Cromwell would emerge to send those welfare cases from the House of Windsor-Hanover-Saxe Coburg to the gallows.
Yeah, I spent the last year in Britain and didn't encounter any anti-Semitism. Only the contrary, if possible. Then again, I was in the countryside, in what could very well be considered flyover/redneck (or, in the case of Eastbourne, chav) country Britain.
Perhaps if I was in London, it might be otherwise, but then I suspect most anti-Semitism wouldn't come from the British right (except maybe a few inbred aristocrats), but from the British left, and particularly among immigrants. Likely belonging to a certain religion of peace and tolerance.
He should get points for honesty. And Ken Livingstone should be tarred, feathered and rode out of London on a rail.
How many of those old Jewish families are left in the South, though, was my question. ;)
Right. And as a British Jew by origin, I'd much happier that my ancestors lived in fairly tolerant Britain than in France, Germany or anywhere else in Europe...
There's a very good book by the Anglo-Jewish playwright, Bernard Kops, called "The World is a Wedding." It's about his terrible childhood in the East End during the second world war. When he wasn't being bombed to hell by the Germans, he was being bombarded by hate speeches by Oswald Mosley. What a nightmare!
I can see why gentiles might have thought Mosley was a joke. But can you imagine being a Jewish child and hearing Mosley's diatribes out your window every Sunday? Yikes!
We get desecrations too. Mostly on Long Island in the state of NY for some reason!
Couldn't resist a little gratuitous Catholic-bashing, eh? Nice to voice unfounded "suspicions" so that you can kill a couple of birds with one stone. Jews and Catholics are the two groups everyone seems to feel safe bashing these days...

Tony Matelli talks about his process
If you look around, there's a sort of quiet, cosmic war going on all around us. You can see it in the cracks of a sidewalk, on attic junk and down the gradual sag of a face. It's our effort against the beat of time. And it seems to be what, at least in part, Tony Matelli is exploring in his sculptural work at the Green Gallery East.
From the outside of the exhibition space, it may seem like you missed the opening night by a few years. Dusty mirrors propped against walls bear the handprints and doodles of bygone humans. Walking up to them for a moment almost channels a quieting, humanistic experience of a cave drawing. And it is then the liminal space you just trounced in on begins to move into focus. »Read Full Blog Post(1)

Global Support for Free Expression
There is global support for free expression, including free speech, free press and freedom on the internet. Americans, along with Latin Americans and Europeans, stand out in their opposition to government censorship.
Where the world sees limits to free speech
In principle, most people around the world support freedom of expression. But there is a fine line between general support for freedom of speech and support for specific forms of expression.
Deep Divisions in Turkey as Election Nears
Turks are split on whether their democratic system is working, and views of Erdogan are at their lowest since 2012. But they still prefer a democratic form of government over a strong leader to guide their country.
People in U.S., Latin America approve of renewing U.S. ties with Cuba
Nearly three-quarters of U.S. adults (73%) say they approve of the U.S. renewing ties with Cuba. A similar median of 77% across five Latin American countries surveyed also approve of this action.
Views of U.S.-Cuba Ties in Latin America
While Latin Americans approve of the U.S. re-establishing diplomatic relations with Cuba, they hold mixed views on Cuba overall and have little confidence in Raul Castro.
Political Engagement Low in Emerging and Developing Nations
Most vote in elections, but few engage in other kinds of political participation or think those forms are effective. Publics overwhelmingly say that government officials do not care what they think.
Tunisia Confidence in Democracy Wanes
Tunisian support for democracy has declined steeply since the early days of the Arab Spring. Just 48% of Tunisians now say democracy is preferable to other kinds of government, down from 63% in 2012.
El-Sisi likely to win Egypt election, but questions about mandate remain
Low turnout in Egypt's presidential election has raised concerns that a victory for former general Abdel Fattah El-Sisi would leave the government without a sufficient mandate.
Tunisians Sour on Political Leaders as Conditions Worsen
Two years after launching the Arab Spring, Tunisians are growing disaffected with their leaders as conditions worsen. According to our new survey, 72% dissatisfied with the way their democracy is working.
As Mali Votes, Mixed Reception to French Intervention
As Malians go to the polls for the presidential election on July 28, Africans, on balance, approve of the French military incursion in its former colony and France enjoys a largely positive image in many African nations. In contrast, most publics in the Middle East disapprove of Paris' action and France's ratings have slipped in the region.

Pupatella Neapolitan Pizza
Pupatella originated as a food truck in 2007 and went brick-and-mortar three years later. This two-room storefront with the sign out front that warns "Pizza Addicts Only" is the D.C. culmination of Enzo Algarme's experience hanging around the some 200 or so pizzerias in Naples where he was born. Pupatella, a name borrowed from a late relative ("what everybody called my grandmother in Italy," he told The Washington Post), is run by Algarme and his life (and business partner) Anastasiya Laufenberg. Their oven's bricks were built using volcanic ash from Vesuvius — hard to get more authentic than that outside Naples.
They offer red and white pies — more than three times the former — ham and mushroom, prosciutto and arugula, chorizo, sausage and onion, eggplant and red pepper among them. But Pupatella's most popular pie is the Capricciosa featuring sautéed mushrooms, marinated artichokes, prosciutto cotto, and fresh mozzarella. Algarme's website is charming enough to win over even the most skeptical — his FAQ explains what bufala mozzarella is, why there are leopard spots on your crust, why a real margherita is wet in the middle and never crispy, and why you'll never see a Neapolitan tossing dough. And they "love foodie bloggers."

Harbor seals hang out on glacier ice
Harbor seals are the most widespread pinniped species in the world. They range as far south as Baja California in Mexico, and as far north as Artic Canada and Greenland. In the colder areas of that vast distribution, they sometimes make themselves at home on floating chunks of ice below tidewater glaciers.
Glaciers are constantly on the move, flowing slowly downhill under the force of their own weight. When that path leads them into the ocean, they're called tidewater glaciers. During the summer, harbor seals, up to several thousand at a time, congregate in Alaska's tidewater glacier fjords.
15 December 2015
One Million Icequakes
Nestled in the Arctic is a glacier like no other. This glacier quakes once a minute creating seismic events that rattle the earth—more frequently than scientists have ever seen. Understanding why these icequakes are so common may help researchers predict future ice flow, a process that propels climate-driven sea level rise.

Groton — School Superintendent Paul Kadri on Monday formally requested a hearing to address allegations of abusive behavior and moral misconduct that have led the school board to consider his termination.
Kadri's attorney, Gregg D. Adler, has asked that a neutral arbitrator, instead of the board, oversee the hearing.
"Mr. Kadri does not feel that you or the other board members would be in a position to act as an objective, unbiased tribunal at this juncture in time," Adler wrote in a letter addressed to Board of Education Chairwoman Kirsten Hoyt.
Adler said a condemning letter from Hoyt and various other actions and statements show the board does not have a truly open mind regarding the issue.
Kadri was placed on paid administrative leave in May and faces a host of claims from current and former employees who allege a pattern of bullying, intimidation and verbally abusive behavior. An investigator's report also alleges unprofessional and unethical behavior such as using school district personnel to perform personal tasks and requiring the former assistant superintendent to campaign for a school building project during her vacation time.
More recently, the board voted to investigate Kadri's use of school district grant funds based on statements from a former grants administrator that hinted at misuse of those funds.
Kadri, who was hired in 2008 and continues to earn his $167,475 yearly salary, said he is being falsely accused. He emailed a letter Monday addressed to Groton students, school district staff, and Groton taxpayers, saying he has not been given the opportunity to defend himself.
"After sitting patiently in exile for the past 179 days while my reputation has faced numerous false accusations, I have reached the point to where I have no more hope that the Board of Education will do the right thing in allowing me to address the charges against me," Kadri wrote.
Hoyt was not immediately available for comment.
The school board will have 30 days to convene a hearing to determine whether Kadri should be fired, according to his contract. The board's recommendation is due within 20 days of the end of the hearing. Adler said he has not yet made a decision about whether the hearing will be public or private.
With Kadri on leave and interim Superintendent Randall Collins' departure on Friday, the school board moved quickly Monday night to get former Bridgeport school Superintendent John Ramos to work.
While still hammering out details of a contract, the board voted to hire Ramos and pay him $644 a day. They expect to sign a contract by next week.
Ramos said he was eager to get started and visited three schools on Monday. Ramos, who said he plans on staying away from the Kadri matter, will be given the responsibility of presenting the state with details of a redistricting plan to address a racial imbalance.
Ramos, from a school district with 35 schools and 20,000 students, said he has experience in redistricting in Bridgeport.
"My job is to make sure the process is an inclusive one … ensure the community has an opportunity to weigh in," he said.
He plans to spend the week visiting schools, reaching out to parent groups and meeting with other town and school officials.

1. EverQuest II - Ever since this game was released, it has been my MMO of choice. I have taken breaks to play other games, like Age of Conan, World of Warcraft, and The Lord of the Rings Online, all of which were fun, but EQII has stood the test of time. With new content coming out all the time, a deep and varied class system, and a graphics engine that has scaled very nicely over the years due to SOE planning ahead, this game remains enjoyable. My level 90 Iksar Shadowknight is still a blast to play, especially in groups. Perhaps one day I will finish my Mythic weapon quest? Perhaps. Or perhaps I am just waiting for The Old Republic.
2. Battlefield: Bad Company 2 - There has been some debate as to which is the better game, Bad Company 2 or Modern Warfare 2. I have not played MW2 yet, but BC2 is as exciting, challenging, and engaging a shooter as any I have played recently. I like that the combat style of the Battlefield series has remained intact in the single player campaign. It's very challenging for an old codger like me, but boy oh boy, this is a fun game.
3. Torchlight - I did not used to be a fan of the Action-RPG genre. I did not like how the first two Diablo games forced you to sift through menus in order to change skills. It was Titan Quest that changed my mind about the genre, and now Torchlight is served up to us as an appetizer to precede the upcoming banquet that is Diablo 3. This new generation of click-fests gives us the one thing that Diablo lacked: hot keys. Torchlight lacks a multiplayer component, but for 10 dollars, it's still a hell of a good time. Blizzard, we all know you guys have more money than God, so hurry it up with the Diablo 3, would ya?
4. Sacred 2 - Like Torchlight, this little game is another gem that shows us that Blizzard is not the only Action-RPG developer on the block. Unlike Torchlight, this game gives us multiplayer, and it is a delight. The unique and weird classes available to the player, as well as favoring colorful top-side adventuring over dingy dungeons, all come together to make for a very cool adventure that makes me glad I gave this genre another chance.
5. Sim City 4 - It's installed, the DVD sits in my little disc holder thing, but beyond trying it for a couple of hours, I have not gone back to it. It is fun, sure, but frustrating too. I'll revisit this when I have more patience.
6. Dragon Age: Awakening - I am liking it so far, but I am almost afraid to play it because that means it will eventually end. And that's the worst part of the Dragon Age games. Like great sex, it eventually has to end.
7. The God of War Collection - I am still not sure why this mighty god-like being has to tackle jumping puzzles and moving boxes around. So far, the first game is fun, but I don't know if I have the skill and patience to make it through all three games. Maybe I should just play Dante's Inferno?
8. Final Fantasy Anthology - With a lot of people saying that the new Final Fantasy XIII is a huge departure from the series and the game takes 20 hours to get interesting and various other controversial things, I figured it was time to take a break from the modern games and fire up this old favorite. My wife thinks Final Fantasy VI looks boring, but she was raised in an Ewok Village, so what does she know? I am glad that I set aside some time for this classic RPG. I might go as far as to say this is the best game in the series. If they ever do a 3D remake, I am so there.
9. Green Day Rock Band - Ok, so this game is not actually out as of this writing, but the demo sure is rootin tootin fun, as are the six songs already released. I have a feeling this will replace regular Rock Band, at least for a few weeks. The entire American Idiot album is going to get a killer workout.
10. Sins of a Solar Empire - I loved the demo so much, I bought the game for five dollars. It's a little different than the standard RTS, but it's pretty clever stuff.
11. Supreme Commander 2 - I kept saying to myself, when this game gets cheap I will pick it up. Sure enough, ten dollars is cheap. It will be waiting for me when I finish some of these other games.

The education community has a habit of using terms or phrases with the assumption that everyone understands them as well as they do. One example is Common Core State Standards (CCSS). Educators across the country have been working hard to implement CCSS and there appears to be general consensus of support for them. However, there have also been myths about what they are and how they impact students. I am using information published by the Michigan Department of Education and provided by the Michigan Association of School Boards to dispel some of those myths and help parents and citizens understand CCSS.
Who's gonna get the money? It's expected that the state of Michigan might well have a few hundred million in surplus revenue in this year's budget … and the competitors for a share of the bonus are already lining up.

Great recipe for coconut macaroons. Super easy and delicious!
How do you stop them from going flat and browning at the bottom?
Yummy! I have never made macaroons and decided to give this recipe a try. What an easy great recipe. I didn't have almonds so I left them out and I put 1/2 tsp. more of almond extract because I love almond. I read in a review that the person used a mini muffin pan, so I decided to use my mini muffin pan on some and the cookie sheet on the res. The mini muffin pan, in my opinion, worked out better than the cookie sheet. They were a little sweet next time I will probably cut a little back on the sugar, although my hubby thought they were perfect. Thank so much for sharing.
Very good, but I prefer Hazelnuts to almonds. Thanks for posting...My favorite is Ina Gartner's recipe which uses sweetened condensed milk. Both are yummy in thier own way:)
These are the best Coconut Macaroons I have ever made! LOVE them.. love that they are soft and chewy and pretty close to perfection. I made a batch yesterday and they are almost gone. Thanks for the amazing recipe!
My husband really enjoyed these. They are soft & chewy. I used vanilla instead of almond extract. Otherwise followed recipe then drizzled with melted chocolate. Yummy & looked great. I got 24 cookies from this recipe so mine were a bit bigger. Such an easy recipe, definitely will make these again.
These were easy and good. I would cut back on the sugar as I think they were overly sweet.
I didn't have any almonds, so I made them without & they were still very good! Great cookies - I'll definitely make them again and will make sure I have almonds when I do! =)
Put little mini chocolate eggs in and made them birds nests for easter. This is the 4th time I have made these and they are great. Not too sweet, moist and chewy. I do leave them in a few min. more just to get a little toasting on top but keep an eye on them because you don't want them to get to dry. Always get a lot of compliments on them and they are a QUICK cookie. This time I did them with my 3 year old. Perfect.
made these today for christmas cookie trays...followed exactly except i used dry roasted slivered almonds..i also used both the vanilla & almond extract..i let them get a little brown on top but the insides were nice and moist and chewy...excellent cookie...will make often!! thanks!!

SARASOTA, Fla. - A tattooed mechanic with a long rap sheet was charged with murder Friday after authorities found the body of an 11-year-old girl whose kidnapping was captured on a carwash surveillance camera.
Police said Joseph P. Smith told a witness that he had kidnapped and killed Carlie Brucia, and authorities used that information to find the sixth-grader's body in a church parking lot a few miles from the carwash.
Investigators refused to say how the girl was killed or whether she had been raped.
"He will pay the ultimate price for what he did to her," sheriff's Capt. Jeff Bell said. Investigators would not give details on the witness who helped them.
Smith, 37, is believed to be the man seen on the surveillance video in a mechanic's shirt with a name patch, leading Carlie away by the arm Sunday as she walked home from a slumber party. Investigators said the man on the tape had tattoos on both forearms; Smith has many tattoos on his arms.
The kidnapping set off a frantic search for the former Girl Scout, and the tape was beamed across the nation as Carlie's family and authorities pleaded for her safe return.
Investigators were led to Smith after a tipster identified him as the man in the video. Authorities said he had a Buick station wagon that was seen in the surveillance footage shortly before the kidnapping.
Investigators had called on NASA to sharpen and enlarge images of the abduction, but they said the quality wasn't much better than what they already had.
Smith was charged with first-degree murder and kidnapping, and could face the death penalty if convicted. His public defender, Adam Tebrugge, did not immediately return calls for comment.
Carlie's body was found beneath thick underbrush near the Central Church of Christ. While investigators in white coveralls searched the area for evidence, Carlie's friends and family gathered outside the church. Her stepfather, Steven Kansler, and some friends knelt in a prayer circle.
Smith has been arrested at least 13 times in Florida since 1993.
He served 17 months in prison in 2001 and 2002 for heroin possession and prescription drug fraud. Eight days after he got out, he was arrested for cocaine possession and put on probation for three years. He also got probation for aggravated battery in 1993 and heroin charges in 1999.

Skip to comments.Is anyone else sick and tired of the word "Fundamentally"??
Posted on 09/21/2012 12:57:44 PM PDT by Jerry Attrick
Is anyone else sick and tired of the word "Fundamentally"??
Yup. . . and "notion."
Basically, yes...
I am sick of the word "Obama".
Basically, unexpectedly, and fundamentally, yes.
And this election season's term of the day "gaffe." I have never seen it as much as Ive seen it over the past couple of months.
sick of "iconic" and "appropriate" , too.
And "Unbelievable!" (can Hannity give an opinion without that word?)
Only at "the end of the day"!
What happened to "gravitas"?
"Millionaires and billionaires"
"Tax cuts for the rich"
"Everybody agrees" which is closely related to "most economists agree"
"Supporting corporations with tax subsudies"
Really the list is endless.... needless to say I'm not going into work on Nov 7th.
I'll either be celebrating the end of the skinny Marxist's regime OR I'll be mourning and lamenting the end of this once great country.
Yup. Right up there with "exactly" and "narrative".
They want us to: fund a mentality.
and...."the truth of the matter"
I'm sick of just about any buzz word. Of course, there are descriptive words and phrases that are useful often such as: Fool, idiot, stupid, liar, fake, fraud, evil, buffoon, clown. All are synonyms for obastard.
Obastard is what I am sick of. His face, his voice, his words. Every single thing about him.
I'm also sick of our lives being consumed by the political class. I'm sick of having to watch them all the time and feeling powerless to stop them from screwing with my life, my opportunities and my liberty.
Literally ...
yes fundamentally!
Basically, no, it's not impacting me!
I believe "notion" is included is most all Obama speeches or responses. Another one is "let me be clear about this.." It's the only attempt at transparency the man can force himself to do.
It's substratal, Dear Watson!
Yes, you beat me too it. "moving forward" makes me want to scream too.
We need a paradigm shift in the way we use the word fundamentally. Literally.
"Let me be clear" is what my pastor always says just before a staffer (politely and with great spirituality) "gets it in the caboose." Father says that, the whole parish winces.
Well then, let me count the cliches on this very thread (excluding those we complain about of course):
sick and tired
What's the frequency, Kenneth
Sheesh already!
I'm sick of
Right up there
beat me too it
makes me want to scream
"Gaffe" is the single most overused word heard in the news, but not the most annoying word. I hate all of these new, made-up words—bromance, ginormous, pwned...awful.
As sick as I was of "nuance" last time around...
Then you are my frenemy!
IBBF (In Before Bush's Fault!)
I have issues with "issues".
Not to mention "allegedly"
And I used to like "like", but that one's way burned out!
that and folks, hope, change, the worst recession since the great depression, etc. etc.
Absolutely !
(the word I'm SICK of hearing)
Fundamentally . . . yes.
And then there's the word "notion". Any time Obama wants to negate and pooh pooh anyone's opinion; he says "they've got the NOTION blah-blah-blah that blah-blah-blah", as if it's just a silly "notion" that they concocted in their tiny little pea brains.
Trying to use "in sum" and "at bottom" lately - i think any of those phrases are attempts to make ourselves sound even smarter and signal the profundity of our next few words.
"folks", "Let me be clear..." and dropped "G"s. Argh.
Not the leftist freak Hussein Heads.
They eat it up.
'Back in the day' gets my vote as the MOST disgusting and most overused.
"make no mistake..."
The only words in the field of politics, that I can stand hearing, will be:
At that time, it will be to imbibe sparkling apple cider, and relax, or brew a fresh cup of coffee, and go down to the castle keep's armory, and start the necessary preparations within.
At the end of the day, yes. I am fundamentally sick of buzz words.
"The reality is..."
I don't give a FF what his/her reality is.
I prefer, "Experience has taught us..." followed by unambiguous examples.

HARRISBURG - Kelsey Lefever was well-known in the Pennsylvania horse world.
The 24-year-old horse trainer from Chester County competed at the Devon Horse Show and traded show ponies and draft horses on the Internet. At Penn National, near Harrisburg, one of the biggest racetracks in the state, she schmoozed thoroughbred owners, telling them she would find great homes for their horses when their racing careers were over.
In fact, state police allege, Lefever was selling the horses - as many as 120, by her admission - to contractors for a Canadian slaughterhouse, where they were butchered and shipped overseas for human consumption.

'Resigned accommodation and usurpatory strategies': Women, Practice, Architecture
Each thematic issue of Architectural Theory Review focuses on a specific compelling object – whether a text, a drawing, a building, or otherwise – the implications of which are reviewed by the contributors to that issue. In this call for papers, we invite submissions which reflect on a keynote essay, 'Women Architects and Their Discontents' by Bridget Fowler and Fiona Wilson, first published in 2004 in Sociology (38(1): 101-119). The essay is significant in that it builds a theory of practice for women architects, using a theoretical framework and methodological tools drawn from the discipline of sociology. Specifically, Fowler and Wilson use architecture as a case study of a 'typical masculine-dominated profession,' and draw on the work of Pierre Bourdieu to argue that in architecture there is a tendency to 'naturalize domination.' Fowler and Wilson aim to
'clarify the material and cultural constraints that block the path to gender progress. It is only by grasping the social relations on which women's participation is premised that equal access to the fields of modern professional performance can be granted.'
In this special issue of ATR, we invite contributors to address these material and cultural constraints, and the social relations that condition women's participation and progression in architectural practice today. For this issue, Fowler and Wilson's text should be seen as a catalyst: it may be a point of origin or departure, revision or re-evaluation, approached directly or on the oblique.
Is it true that 'the route towards equal participation of men and women in the architectural profession is likely to be arduous'? As Fowler and Wilson ask, '[w]hat deeper structural continuities explain why the profession of architecture continues to be such unfavourable territory for women?' Could it be that the self-perception among architects, of a profession that is progressive, liberal, and meritocratic, is actually a barrier to equality – is there a discrepancy between 'the egalitarian rhetoric of architecture and its backstage realities'? What modes of 'resigned accommodation' are practiced by women architects, and what ''usurpatory' strategies' do they undertake to 'challenge male monopolies'?
We invite approaches from the history and theory of architecture, and feminist architectural theory. We particularly solicit interdisciplinary perspectives, with analyses originating in scholarly disciplines outside of architecture, including the sociology of work, gender studies, management studies, organizational behaviour, feminist theory, ethical philosophy, and others. We invite comparative perspectives, which make associations and distinctions between architecture and other professions and models of work. Case studies and comparisons between different international contexts, and different historic periods, are also welcome. Innovative modes of scholarship including visual research are encouraged.
Specific questions and approaches might include:
• What effects have the policy and initiatives of professional associations and institutions had on gender equity in architectural practice? What effects have broader government policies had?
• What has been the effect of legal regulation and registration of the profession on gender equity?
• How is gender equity in architecture affected by shifts in the wider economy, particularly recession – are male and female architects equally vulnerable in times of financial crisis?
• How has feminist architectural theory been taken up or resisted by women architects in practice, and what have been the pragmatic consequences of feminist architectural theory?
• Examinations of the design and implementation of strategies to improve women's workforce participation in architecture, their retention and advancement to senior levels of the profession
• Examinations of how gender participates in the development and reproduction of professional identity in architecture, and the ways in which the image of the profession is gendered
• Examinations of how gender features in innovation in the practice and design of architecture; what are the economic and other benefits of gender diversity in architecture?
• Examinations of why women leave the architectural profession, and where they go
• Ethnographic studies of architectural office practice and culture
If you wish to contribute to this open call, please contact Naomi Stead (email@example.com) in the first instance to register your interest and receive an electronic copy of the keynote article. All texts selected for publication will be subject to a process of double blind review and independent proofreading. Full papers should be submitted via the journal's website: http://www.tandf.co.uk/journals/titles/13264826.asp. The deadline for submission of full texts is 8 January 2012.
