Size & Fit Details
Flutter-sleeve top
Rated 4.7 out of 5Â by 18 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5Â by CallieCoCat Perfect for a stylish work ensemble I genuinely thought this top was silk, as did my coworkers. The drape is completely lovely. I felt both sophisticated and cute when I wore it for a recent interview, and I can wear it to work or for a night out. I'll be buying it in more colors, because I could honestly wear it every day. It doesn't wrinkle, and the neckline cleverly avoids the common J.Crew top mistakes (it never fell awkwardly open, nor was it low enough to expose my chest). March 8, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5Â by 2Soft Lovely spring top A nice change from a tee shirt top. Feminine and just enough loose drape to flatter without being boxy. I chose the pink for a pop of color will wear this top with the Tibbi cropped pant in navy with a pair of pointy toe flats. Lovely! February 23, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5Â by lovejcrew Perfect Spring Top I have been looking for a flattering spring top to wear with jeans and dress pants. I found the perfect, flutter-sleeve top which fit perfectly in size 8 regular (I am 5'10", but did not need a tall size.). The open neck looks great with the J Crew gold choker necklace I have, and the sleeves give a feminine touch. I ordered three tops in pine green, navy, and also the silk flutter-sleeve top in pink/blue hibiscus. The top can either be dressed up with silk pants or dressed down with jeans. The colors all look great with my brunette hair coloring. March 16, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Cindy Flutter sleeve top This shirt was so light and flattering on my small figure I have it in navy and just ordered the yellow this with a nice pair of skinny jeans make you look good without trying too hard and I ordered my in a 2 it runs true to size. March 8, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5Â by TMHW Love this versatile top! I first purchased this in green and loved it so much I got it in blue as well. It looks great as shown with skinny pants since the top is not form fitting at all. I also have worn it tucked in with a pencil skirt for a dressier occasion. It is very versatile and figure flattering. I am 130 lbs and 5'6" and ordered a small and it is a good fit (and hides my 8 week postpartum tummy!) although I probably could've gotten away with an xs for a slightly more fitted look.

A Carlisle woman is facing a number of charges after leading officers on a chase Wednesday night, according to police.
Karisa Sanchez, 21, drove off on South Hanover Street when an officer tried to pull her over for driving without the car's headlights on, police said.
Sanchez' car crossed all four lanes of Noble Boulevard and hit two street signs before she bailed out of the vehicle while it was still moving, police said. She was quickly taken into custody.

Evotec is purchasing a 70% stake in India-based drug discovery services company Research Support International (RSIPL) for €2.8 million (about $4.02 million) in cash. The deal also gives Evotec a call option for the future purchase of the remaining 30 percent in the event of a change-of-control. RSIPL was established in 2004 as a wholly owned subsidiary of DIL (formerly Duphar-Interfran; www.dil.net) and currently has about 160 employees. Completion of the transaction will see RSIPL operate as Evotec India. The new site will complement the company's existing facilities in Hamburg and Abingdon, U.K. Evotec says that the Indian company will provide both important capacity expansion and complementary drug discovery and chemistry capabilities to its existing discovery platform in a cost-effective location. During May Evotec paid £0.5 million ($0.84 million) in cash for Summit's zebrafish screening business including operations in Abingdon and Singapore. The company says that despite this and the €2.8 million payout for the RSIPL stake, it should still have over €65 million ($93.41 million) in liquid funds by the end of 2009.

Dyson's season-ending injury is a tough blow for the receiving corps to absorb. Dyson was signed to add some explosiveness and speed at the position. All signs pointed to him having a very strong year as a Panther. Unfortunately for him and the club, his impact will not be seen in 2003. There is a possibility that he may return late in the season, but not many quick recoveries are made from Achilles injuries. It will remain to be seen how this latest setback affects Dyson's career, considering his long injury history. Hopefully he will make a full recovery and remain optimistic because the organization needs his talents on the field.
The loss of Dyson, who was actively competing for a starting spot, definitely thins the roster. Another veteran may be brought in soon (Oronde Gadsen, JJ Stokes, etc) but for now the team will have to move on as is. Many thought Muhammad would be a sure June 1st cap casualty, but now it seems he will be back in the mix for a starting job. Muhammad adds a veteran presence and has experience in the offense. Another wily veteran, Ricky Proehl, will be counted on to move the chains and give the offense consistency out of the slot (something that has been lacking for awhile now).
Steve Smith will most likely fill the other receiver spot with Muhammad probably returning to his. Proehl seems to be best suited for the slot due to his limited speed. Team officials seem very impressed by draftee Walter Young, a seventh round selection. Young has intriguing size (6-5) but is an untested rookie with marginal speed. However, he could develop into a productive player as the team's 4th wide receiver. The mismatches Young might create on 3rd downs against smaller dime corners should be interesting.
Karl Hankton hasn't shown much during his tenure with the team and will have to turn some heads in camp if he ever wants playing time. Many young prospects were brought in to fight for the 5th receiver spot. While it's highly doubtful any will have a serious impact on the passing game (and most will be cut by the season's first play) the competition might help to add some much needed depth at receiver.
Unfortunate as Dyson's injury may be, this group of players still should be much better than last year's edition. 2002's wide receiver corps was plagued by inconsistency from Smith and non-existent production from the slot receiver. A seasoned Steve Smith, experienced Mushin Muhammad and veteran Ricky Proehl should be enough to keep defenses respecting the forward pass.

Apple boosts iPod orders for current quarter, trims Macs slightlyApple has increased orders for most of the members of its iPod family over the past month or so while trimming Mac orders only slightly — a sign the company's business is standing its own amid a weakening economy, one Wall Street analyst says.
FBR Capital Markets analyst Craig Berger in a note to clients Wednesday said his latest round of checks into the Apple supply chain show the electronics maker to have revised its second-quarter (ending June) iPod build numbers positively by 15 percent since his last check in late March. Looking ahead, he now sees iPod builds growing 35 percent quarter-over-quarter.
"We see greater Shuffle, Classic, and Nano, builds slightly offset by fewer Touch builds, with greater Shuffle builds accounting for most of the increased iPod builds.," the analyst wrote.
Though he did not offer an explanation for the decline in iPod touch orders, some consumers may be delaying new purchases of the touch-screen players as they await pricing details of the next-generation iPhone, which will in all likelihood include all of the functionality of the iPod touch.
Berger's checks also show Apple have cut its second quarter iPhone build volumes by less than 10 percent versus checks from late March. Going forward, however, he expects iPhone build volumes to ramp considerably by about 250 percent to 3 million units, as Apple builds 3G iPhones ahead of its likely June launch.
"Apple's June, September, and December total 3G order fell by 500,000 units versus our prior checks to 11 million units, although our contacts still say Apple will likely reduce this forecast over time," he wrote. "This suggests Apple could sell 11 million iPhones in total in 2008, including its March actual shipments."
Meanwhile, Apple's second quarter Mac builds are said to have fallen only modestly since Berger last checked, with the most pronounced cut affecting the company's more costly professional MacBook Pro line.
"Apple used the seasonally slow March quarter to replenish inventory of notebooks, and to build the initial wave of MacBook Air products, thus making second quarter build comparisons difficult," he explained. "For the second quarter, we see total PC build volumes declining about 15 percent sequentially due to Apple's inventory build in 1Q."
"Big picture," he added, "these checks show that consumer spending, at least at Apple, has not meaningfully deteriorated over the past two months."

Read an Excerpt
Chapter Two
The picture I looked at first has been the source of countless jokes over the years. It depicts all of my immediate family gathered together at our house. For some reason, we are sporting nametags. Perhaps this was a neighborhood function or family reunion. Though the exact memory has faded, the feeling of those days remains. I look and can almost hear the sounds, can feel the warmth of the day, not quite hot, but warm.
Our mother had arranged us in descending order from oldest to youngest. Granville stands on the far left and is bored and uninterested in the photographer. To his left stands Greg. He has worn a striped tank top identical to Granville's. I don't view this imitation with negative judgment. The younger brothers all admired and copied the older ones. Nothing wrong with being a copycat as long as you're copying the right cat! Apparently, Grant and I had decided it was too warm for full shirts, even tank tops, and instead we chose for the day our standard 80s half shirt. Behind us, tucked under our father's big legs, huddles the youngest, and our only sister, Gwendolyn.
We kids were uninterested in the task at hand, and a close look at the photo reveals less about our personalities than our boredom. But if you look closely at my parents, you can tell certain things about their life and times. Mom had a rather unfortunate Jerry Curl. She smiles slightly, the smile of someone who understands the difficulties of daily living, yet is happy to have her family around her. Her stance is revealing. She does not stand haughty or proud, but solid. She was in many ways our rock. Dad's gestures are just as telling. He is shouting in the direction of someone outside the frame. His head is arched back and in one hand he is holding a frosty mug, just emptied, not yet filled with a new beer. Perhaps the most noticeable thing about him is his size. He is broad shouldered and tall. He looks fit. He does not stand like someone who should be trifled with. And that was him. A former marine, he took life seriously and always demanded that we be places punctually. At the same time, he also wasn't afraid to cut loose a bit with a drink or two.
In photo was taken in Glassboro, New Jersey, where we had just moved from Camden. For those who are unfamiliar with the statistics of crime throughout the country, Camden often takes the dubious prize Most Dangerous City in America. This statistic is based on numbers compiled by the FBI regarding the number of violent crimes per person. Some of Camden's citizens wear this ranking with pride, with t-shirts that say on the front: # 1 in America, (and on the back) America's Worst City. Situated just across the river from of the City of Brotherly Love, Philadelphia, many parts of Camden, N.J. are noticeably unbrotherly. Perhaps many of the problems are the result of poverty. Two out of five citizens live below the poverty line, and the school system was recently taken over by the state of New Jersey due to student drop out rates.
Behind us in the photo sits our new home. With four bedrooms and two bathrooms, it was a great improvement over our previous living situation. If the first photo on my computer had been of our home in Camden, it would have pictured a row home with 3 bedrooms and a bathroom that was perpetually broken. Many houses on our row, these were the row houses you hear frequently about in discussions of American crime, were boarded up. Other neighboring houses in Camden suggested a complete lack of civic pride, or perhaps just patchwork ingenuity. From the wide array of building materials, it was clear that when something broke, whatever was cheapest would serve as a replacement. This fix-it fast, fix-it cheap approach created a hodgepodge of architecture. Brick portions of the house ran straight into faux brick shingle material, as if the builder ran out of money mid-way through construction and chose instead a less costly option. Cheap siding of multiple types, asbestos shingles, rotting wood, and even portions of tin, "decorated" the fronts of houses and lent a confused look that bespoke poverty. Paint schemes on houses had only one common characteristic a complete lack of schematic planning and years of age and disuse. The exceptions to the rule, folks bravely holding on to their pride and often defending their homes forcefully, were stuck next to neighbors that neither cared about nor were capable of maintaining appearances. When you account for all the citizens of Camden addicted to drugs of various degrees of illegality, you understand how and why the street came to look the way it did.
The backyard of our Camden house was about the size of a standard jail cell and had a comparable lack of comfort. No lawn, no bushes, just a 10 ft. by 10 ft. section of concrete, just enough room for a picnic table. To many people this lack of a backyard might be a good thingno grass to cut. But with four boys, it was my mother's nightmare. The lack of space left us with only one option. We had to take our games out into the street up front, dodging cars and drug dealers as we caught passes and ran routes. The most astounding thing to me now is that on that broken and pothole-riddled asphalt, we played tackle. In Camden, toughness developed at a young age. I still have a scar from tackling Greg in the street and catching a piece of glass in my leg. When I finally dragged him down, blood streamed from my knee, tears welled up in the corners of my eyes. Greg carried me inside to get me cleaned up. Even as he sympathetically helped me bandage the wound, he looked at me with stern eyes and said in a clear voice, "You gonna have to be tougher around here to make it, Gary. You can't go crying about little stuff like this. I know it hurts, but even when you don't think you can bear it you can. Just reach down for something extra."
This combination was normal for my brother Greg. He was always caring but firm with me. He had my back, but also insisted that I learn to take up for myself. He helped teach me that valuable lesson about the size of the dog in the fight mattering much less than the size of the fight in the dog. This dog developed particular toughness from playing against older kids early in life, and from words like these from my brothers. I knew as the smallest kid out there that I had to make up for what I lacked somehow. Nobody felt sorry for me, so I had better not feel sorry for myself. This all helped me in the long run. No one gets better from playing against weaker competition. Challenge and adversity stir growth!
One episode is seared into my mind. My brothers and I were out in front of our house in the street. We were playing a game of some sort with neighborhood guys, and for some reason Granville ended up in a tussle with two neighborhood thugs. Without thinking, every one of the Brackett brothers jumped on those poor guys. They ran off, and knew that when you messed with one of us, you had better expect us all to join, even little me at five-years-old.
Granville got into another fight that was even more dangerous. On this day I was near the front door when the altercation broke out. I copied what I had seen on TV, went inside and grabbed one of my father's handguns and came out of the house shouting. I had no intention of shooting anything, but that did nothing to soften the whipping I got when Dad got home and heard the story.
"This thing is not a toy Gary! You have no idea the kind of pain you can cause with this gun."
"But Dad, I wasn't going to use it."
"One thing I always say about guns Gary, never get one out and point it at something unless you are prepared to go all the way."
When I was five, my parents decided to move the family to Glassboro, a safer area with more space, and where perhaps we would do a better job of staying out of trouble. Camden's streets were just too dangerous. Our new home was only about 20 minutes away so my older siblings weren't going too far from their friends. But it was some distance into the suburbs and away from the big city of Philly next door. We all helped pack, and as we prepared for the big day I grew nervous and lashed out.
"Mom, what our new house be like?"
"You'll like it Gary. We'll have more of a yard to play in."
"Yea, but what about my old room? What about my friends?"
"You will have an even bigger room, and across the street you and your brothers will be able to make forts!"
"Mom, I don't want to go!"
"Gary, you remember what I always tell you now: don't fear and don't be angry. One minute of anger robs you of 60 seconds of happiness."
As a young kid I had no reason to doubt my mom. She never led me wrong. But I had heard she and dad whispering late at night about the move. They knew it needed to happen, but moving five kids even a short distance is a chore.
In Glassboro, things were definitely better. The schools were friendlier places with fewer students and nicer teachers. Our new house had more room, another bedroom and bathroom to be exact. We thought we had gone to heaven. There was more than one bathroom, and both of them were functional. Even more exciting than the new space inside the house was the new space outside. No more playing in the street and getting glass in our knees. We now had a yard!
The front of the house emptied out into the projects. We lived right across from a federal government housing development, each of the little brick houses were essentially the same design. But in between those projects and our house grew grass. And our backyard stretched back perhaps a half football field into some woods. The side yard extended for about 50 yards before it sloped gently into a drainage ditch. We played football and baseball year round. And here is the best part of growing up with four boys in a house: no need to recruit, because you always have numbers for a game of 2 on 2. We Bracketts had enough to field a game with just the brothers. Since I was the youngest, and Greg was the second oldest, we often ended up playing against Granville and Grant. Greg and I developed our own secret language for plays, used hand signals our brothers never could decipher, and were usually encouraging teammates.
This neighborhood was a more family friendly place. Sometimes at night we would play late, and Dad would come outside and whistle. That whistle covered the whole projects, and reached clearly to the basketball courts where we so often spent our time. If we didn't hear it, others did. Those who lived around us knew two things: if that whistle sounded, Granville Brackett expected his boys home. And he didn't expect them sooner or later, he expected them to be there quick! Not now, but RIGHT now. So, that whistle was our family version of: "Thundercats Thundercats Thundercats Ho!" At that sound, we dropped what we were doing, ended whatever game we were playing, and moved.

Tera Patrick, real name Linda Ann Hopkins Shapiro, was born to a British Jewish father and Thai mother in Great Falls, Montana. Soon after she was born her mother moved back to Thailand and her father moved to San Francisco. Tera grew up there and at the age of 13 she was discovered by the Ford Modeling Agency and did mainstream modeling for the next 5 years.
At 18, she quit modeling and went to school. She got a degree in Microbiology and became a Registered Nurse. She was still interested in modeling, nude modelling actually, and began to take tiny steps into it until she did her first hardcore film in 2000.
Since then she's appeared almost everywhere and was going strong until she shocked the industry by sayng she was retiring in 2002 with 5 years left on a contract to a company. As of 2006 they are still suing each other for various things (Tera says she wasn't paid sometimes, they say she has a contract till 2007 and can't use the name Tera Patrick). Neverminding her legal problems, Tera signed with another company in 2003 for two years.
Tera Patrick also has her own modeling agency, TeraVision. She also married actor/rocker Evan Seinfield in 2004 and will now only do hardcore scenes with him.

SuperCissus pain relief
Posted by Reviewer1270487 on May 04, 2012
This is a great product for assisting with joint pains. Cissus is supposed to have healing and anti inflammatory properties and I believe it. This is the third time that I have used the product for post tendonitis and each time I feel fantastic during use. Additionally it seems to have healed some of the areas, as I do not feel as much pain post usage. I had two friends that broke the same bone in their hands the same week both snowboarding. One took my advice in taking the SuperCissus while the other did not. The girl who began to take it recovered much faster that the other and was actually rock climbing shortly after. I will absolutely be ordering more, and thanks to IHerb for great service and excellent customer service :)
Great Product

USPlabs SuperCIssus
Posted by Reviewer2531717 on Aug 17, 2012
I have been using the product for about 2 weeks now. I had broken a carpal bone in my hand and I was having pain with movement in my wrist. After I started taking SuperCissus I noticed the pain lessened and movement was easier. I would recommend this product. I also work a very physically demanding job and it seems to help in that regard also.
Highly recommended!

A new line from a Hampstead jeweller is helping to raise funds for London's Great Ormond Street Hospital, where her daughter underwent life-saving treatment.
Annabel Bartfeld has raised £500 by donating £10 from each purchase from the jewellery range, whose pieces incorporate personalised photos and for which prices start at £95.
Her seven-year-old daughter Jessy was treated at Great Ormond Street when she was two.
"I'm totally devoted to the hospital and I want to raise a substantial amount for them," Ms Bartfeld said.

Really, I saw one in Kanab, Utah today. The owners told me about the model T tour starting on Sunday and continuing until Friday.
Looks like a lot of fun, about 200 model T's from around the world! Would have been extremely fun to have a couple hundred model S here at the same time! Anybody up for a spur of the moment trip to Utah?
This is a very beautiful area with a lot to see and do, and some very wonderful roads! I have been thinking of putting together some kind of tour along the lines of the Grand circle tour, http://www.utah.com/itineraries/grand_circle.htm. Only it would be the Grand S tour! Anybody interested? I think 8-10 days or so, from Vegas to Zion national park, to Bryce Canyon national park, to Capital Reef national park, to Arches and Canyonlands national parks, through monument valley, to north rim Grand Canyon, back to Zion, then back to Vegas and home. Or the way they are doing it is base in Kanab and then do day trips out and back. That misses Arches and Canyonlands, and highway 12, all you S owners really want to drive your Tesla on highway 12!

NEWTON, Ala. — AngelTrax Bus Video has expanded its video management software suite to include FlexPlay Pro, a video data management platform for analyzing live and stored video surveillance and telematics.
FlexPlay Pro features remote system configuration, automatic wireless downloads, live video streaming and instant system health notifications, which enables fleet directors to gain real-time insight into their fleet operations, company officials said. In addition, FlexPlay Pro features an enhanced user interface, resulting in streamlined monitoring of telematics data.
System-wide remote configuration also allows users to create custom notification and network settings for each component in their fleet. FlexPlay Pro notification settings can be programmed to alert users to events, such as camera loss, hard drive failure, vehicle collisions, over-speed and other system malfunctions.
The redesigned interface, which is similar to the AngelTrax FlexPlay user environment, allows fleet directors to browse and monitor video data faster and more easily. Users with GPS-enabled equipment can now view embedded GPS coordinates as a Google Map overlay synced with video surveillance footage in a user-friendly, side-by-side format.
Other FlexPlay Pro features include a four- or eight-channel video display with selectable audio playback, an innovative blur feature (which can be used to conceal innocent individuals), automatic retrieval of stored footage from the hard drive, and 24-hour, one-hour or 20-minute segmented playback timeline options.

About This Slideshow:
Mindy McCready, who hit the top of the country charts before personal problems sidetracked her career, died Sunday in Arkansas in an apparent suicide. She was 37.
The Cleburne County Sheriff's Office said in a news release that McCready was found dead at a residence in Heber Springs from what appears to be a single, self-inflicted gunshot to the head. An autopsy is pending.
McCready found some peace after her appearance on "Celebrity Rehab" and told The Associated Press in early 2010 she hoped to get her career restarted, write a book about her experiences and begin production on a reality show. She felt she'd finally gained some control over her life.
"It is a giant whirlwind of chaos all the time," she said. "I call my life a beautiful mess and organized chaos. It's just always been like that. My entire life things have been attracted to me and vice versa that turn into chaotic nightmares or I create the chaos myself. I think that's really the life of a celebrity, of a big, huge, giant personality."

'Vampire Academy' First Look: 5 Exclusive Photos!
Director Mark Waters describes scenes from his film of Richelle Mead's YA smash
Slide 1 of 5
Rose Hathaway (Zoey Deutch)
"This is a little bit of a leap off the book," teases Vampire Academy director Mark Waters, "but Rose has a brief moment where she has a chance to kill a Strigoi, but then she hesitates because she's still a novice, and fails to go through with it. I have to keep it a little cryptic because I don't want to reveal too many things that happen in the movie, but it is her brief moment of trying to do something, but her training is not quite up to it yet."

- Liberal internationalism, in a shambles, meets Tariq Ramadan tonight in NY
"Alexandre Adler, Alain Finkielkraut, Bernard-Henri Lévy, André Glucksmann and Bernard Kouchner are Jewish."
Philosophers? They are French!
No-one outside France can take them seriously.
- Israelis and their US mouthpieces push back on 'imposed solution'
"Toed the line"
- All the nukes that's fit to print
It is now accepted that Israel has nukes. Israel has never signed the NPT. This means that it is illegal for the US to send financial or military aid to Israel.
The Hickenlooper Amendment has made Israel cautious about seizing property owned by U.S. citizens.
Time to press the Symington amendment.
Send in the lawyers!
- NYT protects Israel on 'live ammunition' charge
It is nonsense to say Israel is the native land of the Jews. A person's native land is the land that person was born in. Most Jews (including a lot of the Jews living in Israel) were born in other lands.
- Gaza shows, Israel is main threat to peace in region -- Erdogan
And let's remember that Turkey isn't just any old "somebody in NATO". Turkey has the second largest military in NATO, as well as a strong indstrialised economy.
- Realists get traction (Brzezinski and Scowcroft have Obama's ear)
Australia has officially recognised the immorality of the treatment of the aborigines, and is making some attempts (much debate here about how good those attempts are) at recompense.
"Carrying a grudge for 3 generations and counting will not get you anywhere. "
I sympathise with the idea that carrying grudges for generations is self-destructive, but:
(a) Where do you get 3 generations from? 1948 was in my lifetime, and I am not even retired.
(b) The ethnic cleansing and persecution did not stop in 1948. It is still going on.
" They refused to accept the existence of a Jewish state. "
Since the idea of a state that privileges one ethnic group over all others is abhorrent, they would have been quite right to refuse. However, all the indications are that they were prepared to accept it if the refugees were allowed to go home.
"the Arab states were not willing to negotiate a peace agreement after the 48 war"
Simha Flapan, in "The Birth Of Israel", says of the Lausanne negotiations
"Israel, however... [preferred] tenuous armistice agreements to a definite peace that would involve territorial concessions and the repatriation of even a token number of refugees. "
" the Arab states were not willing to negotiate a peace agreement after the 48 war. "
Avnery does not agree.
link to zope.gush-shalom.org
"If the Arabs would have demanded the return of the Palestinians in 48 as part of a comprehensive peace plan, then Israel should have accepted that."
English lesson for an Israeli: the "would/should" comes in the consequent clause, not the conditional clause.
"If the Arabs had demanded..."
I disgareed with nearly everything William Safire wrote in the NYT, but he and I agreed on this point of grammar.
- Judt's Algeria story suggests that years of civil war may lie before us
I remember reading bits about the Algerian war in the papers when I was a boy.
Of course, the Algerian case was a bit different from the Palestinian case. The Arab Algerians were about 90% of the population, greatly outnumbering the pieds-noirs. The parties in I/P are closer to equal in proportion.
The pieds-noirs, onthe other hand, had support from France, with the French army doing most of the fighting for them. The Israelis are likely to do their own fighting, unless they get the Americans in.
The French were already demoralised by the loss of Vietnam. I'm not convinced that theIsraelis have been demoralised to a similar extent (Hezbollah notwithstanding).
But the violence will probably be no less horrible . Still, the current violence is horrible, and there is no sign it is going to get any better.
- Air strikes on Gazan cheese factory is a reprise of 'Cast Lead'
I'm glad this report pointed out that it is not only (only?) a food-production plant that has been destroyed, but also that jobs have been lost. What will the people who worked there do now? Try to find another way to earn a living, or try to find a way to resist Israel?
Probably the former, but I'm pretty sure they won't forget about the latter.
Just think of the yoghurt attacks! Oh, the horror! The horror!
- Lawrence Wright plays it safe on Gaza
"why does Hamas have to recognize Israel as a "Jewish" state?"
Because Israel has no legitimacy unless it is granted by Palestinian recognition.
- Levy challenges his leaders to declare their territorial goals
"Jewish people no longer know who they are, in which case either Jewish identity needs to change, or .."
Or they could forget about it entirely.
"Problem solved! All Israel needs to do is just procrastinate for another 20 , 30 years until all "direct refugees" are dead and no one is left to return! "
That might solve the problem of the 1948 refugees, but the ethnic cleansing has continued since then, so there will still be people demanding the right to return.

As I have said before, if Israeli and Zionist claims about Jewish "nationality" are accepted, no Jew would be permitted to be a Member of Parliament in Australia. All members have to be of Australian nationality (and that is the word used) only. Those of us with dual nationality have to renounce our other nationalities before we can take up office.
- A Palestinian-American discovers that the State Department allows Israel to define his national identity
Incidentally, on the "all terrorists are Muslims" line you sarcastically quote, I used to shock my American students by telling them that when I hear the word "terrorist" I think of an Irishman.
But (because I am a grumpy old git) I most closely associate terrorists with EOKA and the Mau Mau. Then the Irgun and Carlos the Jackal.
I also recall hearing the term applied to the Viet Cong, the Tamil Tigers, and the Baader-Meinhof gang. All good Muslims.
You are quite correct. There is no light between the US and Israel. They have no light.
Another good article from Ahmed Moor. Keep them coming.
(But " all Muslims may not be terrorists" means "it is possible that all Muslims are not terrorists". I think what you mean is "it may be the case that not all Muslims are terrorists". This could be more neatly written as "maybe not all Muslims are terrorists".)
- When Israel invaded Lebanon, Americans died
"The Italian soldiers were there for the same reason, presumably, as the Americans and French. "
In that case, the attackers of the Americans would have the same reasons for attacking or not attacking the Italians regardless of whether the attack on the Americans was Israel's fault or not.
(My guess is that it is because no-one (not even the Italian military) takes the Italian military seriously. All armies should be like them.)
I've heard that Mossad is supposed to have known about the bomb in advance
and that they tried to kill Ambassador Dean
but nothing really solid on them being the perpetrators of the barracks bomb.
Thanks for that link. I had heard that the Israelis harrassed American soldiers, but couldn't find a good reference for it.
I have also come across claims that it was in fact Israel that was responsible for the barracks bombing. Do you have any semi-respectable sources for that claim?

- an argument about Passover
"And if you saw how African Americans had to negotiate the modern United States"
I've seen it. I've lived in Atlanta and Phildelphia.
"you'd wonder just how dead slavery really is. "
Officially, as a Dodo. If Israel lifted all the legal disabilities on the Palestinians this afternoon, and made Israel officially a state of equal citizens, I would expect the Palestinians would still face the same sort of discrimination . But Israel hasn't even done that.
"After slavery came 150 years of legal discrimination, and an almost complete lack of constitutional rights."
I mentioned that, albeit briefly, as the "subsequent segregation period".
But it was neither a precondition for nor a necessary result of U.S. independence. It should not preclude an African American from celebrating Independence Day. On the contrary, the very ideals which are supposed to be celebrated are those which the African Americans needed (and in many cases still need) to be translated into reality. Celebration would emphasize that.
The Nakbah was a necessary element for the foundation of Israel. The victims of that can hardly be expected to celebrate that.
"Or are you suggesting the Palestinians are "slaves to their ancestors"?"
No, I was suggesting that Jews were, when they say "we were slaves in Egypt".
I'm going to elaborate on that.
The independence of the USA was not achieved through setting up the institution of slavery. Celebrating US independence does not in any way imply endorsing the slavery that was current, or forgiving Jefferson et al. for owning slaves.
The establishment of Israel was achieved through the Nakbah. To celebrate the establishment of Israel is to endorse the Nakbah.
Slavery is now history. It has been publicly acknowledged to have been wrong, and the various legal disabilities imposed on the descendents of the slaves have been removed. Of course, there are still injustices that stem from slavery, and from the subsequent segregation period.
The Palestinians who were driven out of their homes are not allowed back. More are driven out on a regular basis. Neither in Israel nor in the occupied territories do Arabs have equal legal standing to Jews. The Nakbah is not an event of the past.
The US is, at least officially, a state of all its citizens. The principles on which it is supposed to be based (and laid down in the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution) are deemed to apply to all, whether they be descendents of slaves or not.
Israel is, as pabelmont points out, only a state for Jews.
"Exactly..And that's why the Palestinians cannot bring themselves to "celebrate" Israel's independence day."
Not the same sort of situation. Slavery is over. The Nakbah is still going on.
"We were slaves."
In Atlanta, I went to the supermarket on July 4th. In an (uncharacteristic) attempt to be friendly, I said to the AA woman at the check-out, "I bet you are feeling a bit annoyed at having to work on Independence Day. "
She replied "It means nothing to me. My ancestors were slaves."
I thought (but, with tact even more uncharacteristic of me, did not say) "And you, too, are a slave. You have made yourself a slave to your ancestors."
"This is really the only question for me as a tribal person: what can I do to help my original community enter the modern global era of respect for others"
Stop thinking of yourself as a member of a tribe.
In Georgia, "Christian" isn't the same as "white". And "African American" doesn't mean "not a total fruitcake".
I lived in sophisticated Atlanta for a few years, and even there it seemed that whites and blacks were equally crazy.
What do you want facts for, Mooser. It sounds good, so go with it!
- Self-determination
Can I be a nit picking pedant here?
Well, I'm going to be one anyway.
The word "infringe" has two meanings.
When it is used in its sense of "limit" or reduce", it does not take the preposition "on".
Thus, we infringe the rights of the Palestinians, we infringe international law, and we infringe the privacy of air passengers by using the body scanners.
When it is used in its sense of "trespass", then it does take the prepostion "on".
Thus, we infringe on Palestinian territory.
"The problem with the idea of "a people's right to self-determination" is that it legitimises Zionism"
That's assuming that the Zionists are a "people". And even if we do admit that, their ancestral land is in Poland and Ukraine.
However, I agree with your basic point that these "nations" are imaginary entities.
Of course, if there is any right to self determination, it is the right of the people resident in a given territory to determine the politcal status of the territory.

We are always right.
Often, though, the establishment covers up the truth, so you don't see we are right.
- At your seder, salute a Jewish truth-teller
Nothing comtemptuous about asking why you stick to what you were brought up with. Some people don't think about it, some do, and have change, and some do and don't change.
Those who change usually have reasons for changing.
Those who don't usually have reasons for not changing.
And I am no closer to an answer tothe question of why it is important for the Jews to be regarded as a "people" rather than (e.g.) a religious group.
And as for Spinoza , "The Christians made us do it" is a pathetic excuse!
And when it was done, he stopped being a Jew, and became a philosopher.
You say yourself that you know that the "idnetification" you feel with other Jews is the result of the way you have been raised. You have been taught that, and you know it, so why do you stick with it?
"as a writer, a dreamer and a lover of cinema, the ability to identify with other places and times is valuable to me"
Then why limit it?
(And where Spinoza is concerned, I get really annoyed with the way Jews now claim him as a Jew. Because of his unorthodox beliefs, he was thrown out of the synagogue with foul curses. Now that he is a famous and respected philosopher, they want him back. Contemptible.)
The stamp collectors question is there to see if you can offer a way of deciding what groups count as a "people", and what groups do not. I'm pretty sure you won't accept stamp collectors as a "people", but I want to know why they fail to be a "people". Regardless of whether "a people" turns out to be a univocal term or a cluster concept there needs to be a way to sort out most groups as "a people" and "not a people". Otherwise the term is useless.
(Yes, I am not just a foam-flecked anti-Semite. I am also a professional philosopher.)
"I think the key word (to me) … was kinsman."
But a kinsman is a blood relation. This would mean your "people" were simply those people who are members of your family by birth rather than marriage. I'm sure you mean more than that.
"As far as importance- I suppose that anyone whose "people" has suffered a trauma like the trauma that my people suffered not long before I was born, has to deal with the trauma and along with the trauma is a question of definition"
That doesn't explain why it is important to you that Jews are considered a "people".
(And since it happened before you were born, the trauma is not yours. You didn't suffer it. )
"Has your people suffered a trauma in the recent past"
That's rather a silly question. If I don't know what a "people" is, how can I think of any group as "my people"? And I simply don't think if any group as "my people".
If you mean my fellow citizens, then those who came from (e.g.) Vietnam certainly have. Those who lost their homes in recent bushfires certainly have. But what follows from those answers?
Why the comparison with the French? The French are members of a nation (in my "political organization" sense), but are they a "people"? Without a definition of a "people", we cannot tell.
Is the definition "a group which shares some habits and which regrds itself as a distinct group"? If so, would stamp-collectors count as "a people"?
And, aside from the self-definition involved in the prayers, why is important to you that the Jews be a "people"?
But what are the defining characteristics of a "people"?
I keep asking you this, and you never give a clear answer.
"The essence of Passover is freedom. It is true that the freedom was achieved violently."
So if the Palestinians achieve freedom by killing all the Israeli first-born, that would be O.K.?
The God of the Jews looks like a terrorist!
To me, Passover just says
"Woohoo! God killed lots of Egyptian children, and not ours."
- What the 'Jewish state' means to its Palestinian citizens
The interviewers are really evil . They shift to (extremely good) English to put her at her ease, and then reveal themeselves to be Arabs. And when she gets flustered, they do not get angry, or sarcastic, or berate her. No, they are so nice and comforting that she has absolutely no hope of finding anything to support her prejudices.
Give them decent shaves and haircuts, and they would be perfect spokesmen for the Palestinians.
So what do they need education for? Arabs are just there to do the shit jobs.
And why do they need to marry people from Ramallah? They'll end up having children, which will mean more Arabs, and more cheap white shoes.

Sorry, I can't get it. How do I "connect at 15:36:50"?
Are you saying that the Palestinians should have agreed to allow themselves to be swamped by foreign immigrants, when the main representatives and organizers of those immigrants had made it clear that their intention was to take over the country?
Yes, you are, because you think that the immigrants matter and the Palestinians don't.
Perhaps he is thinking of hte Arab Revolt of 1936-39. The Arabs of Palestine, foolishly thinking that their wishes for their own country mattered, made the folliwing demands.
An end to Jewish immigration
An end to transfers of land to Jewish owners
A new "general representative government"
In Nov, 1938, Montgomery was put in command of the British Army in Palestine, and his brutal tactics brought a swift end to the revolt. (A major stain on an otherwise pretty good reputation.)
The Arab politcal leadership was largely destroyed, and the Arabs were mosty disarmed. This greatly weakened their postion.
"Yeah, and the British also have a pretty long record of being brutal oppressors–the Mau Mau didn't kill anywhere near as many people as the British in suppressing them. And they were brutal in putting down the Palestinian revolt in the 30's. "
As I said, the British have experience of terrorism.
(And the "Irish" in America who sent funds to the IRA can think themselves damn lucky they got away with it.)
"who are they to judge us on the war on terror?"
They are the people who faced years of Irish terrorism. (And didn't send the RAF to bomb Boston and those stupid Americans who pretend they are Irish.) The British faced the Mau-Mau terrorists in Kenya, the Jewish terrorists in Palestine, the EOKA terrorists in Cyprus, and the Malayan Emergency, just for starters. They do have some experieince of terrorism.

Peasants are not serfs, and Jewish magnates did not feel themselves bound by the principles of natural law or the chivalric values of nobility, but did not the Ukrainian law of (whatever century you are referring to) offer any protection?

One of the rights of a serf was that he could not be displaced from the land.

- Philosemitism's threat to Zionism
Well said, Annie.
Plus the assumption that Jews are a "people".
(Incidentally, your posts are insightful and astute, but awfully difficult to read. Is your shift key broken?)
I think that Zionism was copied from the Slavic and Uro-Altaic nationalisms of the ninteteenth century. It seems probable that Eastern European Jews would adapt Eastern European models.
Fault can be found right back in the earliest Zionism. The themes of ethnic cleansing, of "we matter and you don't" reverberates through their total lack of concern for the rights, interests, or wishes of the native Muslims, Christians, and Jews of Palestine.
Don't try to pretend that Zionism started off nicely and then took an unfortunate turn.
- Obama could study Reagan and grow a pair
So did New Zealand, but both NZ and Canada exist in order for their larger neighbours to make fun of them, so their contributions don't count. (Even though the Princess Pat's single-handedly saved South Korea.)
Every Australian knows that all the important victories in WW1 were won by the Australian troops, with occasional help from the British, the Indians, and the Canadians. The French were slack, and the Americans (when they finally showed up) were incompetent know-it-alls who refused to take advice on tactics and got cut to pieces as a result.
That answers the question "What has Israel ever done for the U.S.?", but I'm not sure that it qualifies as alliance. You might want to claim that having Mossad run Abu Ghraib and teach terror techniques to the Kurds qualifies, but its not quite the same as sending thousands of regular troops.
Huge welfare cheques to Australia and Britain?
Where's mine, then?
Every thime an American says "Israel is our ally" it is an insult to America's real allies whose armed forces have stood side-by side with US forces in battle.

Let's see now.
1918 to 1948 - Thirty years in which the Zionists and the British co-operate in acting directly contrary to the clearly expressed wishes of the majority of the population of Palestine.
1948 to 1967 - Nineteen years, during which the Zionists refuse the clearly expressed wish of the Palestinian refugees to return to the homes, villages, and farms from whihc they had been drive. The Arabs of Israel are treated as second class citizens.
The West Bank is annexed by Jordan, and Gaza, full of refugees, is controlled by Egypt.
1967 to 2010 - Forty-three years, during which the Palestinian refugees are still not allowed to return home, the Palestinians of the West Bank and Gaza are oppressed and attacked.
1982 to 2000 - eighteen years during which the Palestinian refugees in Lebanon come under Israeli occupation (with its attendant slaughter) as well.
Yes, it was those wicked Jordanians who denied the Palestinians their right to self-determination.
" The complete denial of the right of self-determination for the Palestinian people for 60 years "
The Palestinian people have been denied their right to self-determination ever since the Australians (with Arab help and a British general) won the battle of Armageddon and took Palestine from Turkish control. That was in 1918.

"Russian gangsters, many of whom are believed to have produced bogus proof of Jewish ancestry to enter the country"
Believed by whom? Is this just an attempt to deny the (putative) fact that there are Jewish gangsters?

A Jewish state is a state run by and for the benefit of Jews.
"I understand masquerading as Jews has been a boon for Russian mobsters feeling the heat back home."
Why do you think they are masquerading? Does anyone have any solid evidence about this? Is the "Russian Mafia" really a "Russian Jewish Mafia" or even just a "Jewish Mafia"? I have seen allegations to that effect, but it all comes from extremely dubious-looking sources.

The Commonwealth of Australia is a similar sort of political organization. Australians are citizens of that nation. All of the citizens together are the Australian people.
On my passport it says "Nationality: Australian." As far as I am concerned, that is the only sensible way to think of nations and nationality.
Now tell me why it matters whether or not Americans, or Australians, or any other group you care to mention, are a "people" in the Sand sense.

"If you are trying to say tha the USA regime, over the last 40 plus years, and its enablers under the AIPAC umbrella, are costing the USA it's hard-won good world reputation paid for by US blood and treasure during WW2, you are correct"
The USA lost that reputation over a period of sixty years, and not all in connection with Israel.
Much of it was lost when it became clear in the 1950s and 1960s that the US would support any dictator, no matter how corrupt and brutal, who claimed to be anti-communist. (Nor did that policy seem to change in the 70s and 80s.)
Much of it was lost in the McCarthy persecution. (Yes, this did have an international impact. I was a schoolboy in Australia, and I knew about McCarthy.)
Much of it was lost by the continual oppression of blacks in the 1950s and 1960s. (Yes, this did have an international impact. As before.)
And of course, Vietnam destroyed even more. The Zippo lighter had been the symbol of U.S. troops fighting against fascism and Nazism. It became the implement U.S. troops used to set fire to peasants' huts.
There wasn't much of that reputation left forty years ago.

South Carolina football coach Steve Spurrier has seen less "negative recruiting" than in the past, but the age-old tactic has not gone extinct.
In an interview with the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, Spurrier said his program received some negative recruiting from an unnamed Big Ten school.
"We don't run into much of any negative recruiting around here as SEC coaches," Spurrier told the AJC. "We were involved with a player who was being recruited by a Big Ten school. They got negative a little bit with 'There's a lot of crime in Columbia, the big city. They don't graduate their players,' which was completely untrue. They searched for a little bit of everything but the player came with us anyways."
The Head Ball Coach did not say which specific recruit, but South Carolina signed five with Big Ten connections: linebacker Bryson Allen-Williams, tight end KC Crosby, cornerback Wesley Green and defensive tackles Abu Lamin and Dexter Wideman.
South Carolina signed the No. 15 class of the 2014 recruiting season last week, according to 247Sports Composite.
