Why Hate Gilad Atzmon Pt. 2: "He's WRONG!" (Or Is He?)
By Kevin Barret | Veterans Today | March 13, 2012
Last Thursday's essay "Why Hate Gilad Atzmon?" has been bouncing around the internet. (The title currently gets 780,000 Google hits).
In that piece I suggested that the anti-Atzmon brigade is defending sacred boundaries against Atzmon's fearless questioning. The two taboo questions are:
Is the whole notion of a Jewish state in Palestine (i.e., Zionism) legitimate and/or feasible? (The obvious answer, of course, is NO.)
Second question:
To what extent has Jewish identity politics contributed to the disaster of Zionism? (The obvious answer, of course, is "to a considerable extent.")
"Don't even go there!" they scream. Atzmon goes there. So they lynch him.
The truth hurts.
That's my take, anyway. But not everyone agrees with me. I have received quite a few anti-Atzmon emails. They all make the same argument: Atzmon is wrong about X, Y, or Z, and therefore he is dangerous, a racist, a dangerous racist, and so on.
First, I would like to point out to these people that Atzmon has a right to be wrong. Since nobody is arguing that Atzmon is offering wrong facts – just wrong opinions, interpretations and orientations on very complex issues – his critics ought to be working harder to explain why he is wrong, rather than calling him names and organizing boycotts and smear campaigns on the basis of perfectly innocent quotes violently and misleadingly ripped from their contexts.
Second, it isn't at all clear that Atzmon is wrong. What IS clear is that many of his opponents are.
Take the charge that Atzmon is an "essentialist."
To call someone an "essentialist" (in the bad sense) is to argue that they prematurely end a discussion by fallaciously citing the "essence" of something.
For example, if someone argued that the reason African-American communities often have high crime rates is that "black people tend to be criminals, that's just their nature" that person would be making a fallacious argument by falsely impugning an unchangeable "essence" to black people. And that person could plausibly be charged with bigotry. The logical fallacy involved is called "circular reasoning": Black neighborhoods have higher crime rate, therefore black people are more likely to be criminals, because they're the ones in the black neighborhoods, where crime rates are higher, ad infinitum. The problem with this argument is that it prematurely ends an inquiry into the real reason why crime rates are what they are; it short-circuits a more thoughtful investigation of the historical and cultural factors that have produced the phenomenon under investigation.
Now if Atzmon were to say "It is just the essence of Jewish nature to be greedy and violent, and that explains the rape of Palestine – end of story, and don't bore me with historical and cultural explanations," he would be an essentialist in the bad sense.
But that is not what he says. On the contrary, it is Atzmon who is opening a thoughtful discussion of the historical and cultural factors behind Zionism. And it is his opponents who want to prematurely shut down the inquiry by ruling that discussion off-limits. As Gilad puts it, the two-staters will only go back as far as 1967. One-staters go back to 1948, or maybe the Balfour declaration of 1917. Gilad wants to keep going, right back through the 19th century and beyond.
It is actually his opponents who are the essentialists. They believe that the essence of Jewishness is always either positive or neutral. Any discussion of Jewish culture or identity that brings up anything that is negatively-valued violates their sacred notion of the essence of Jewishness as innocence and victimhood. Atzmon wants to talk about empirical historical reality, which bears little resemblance to the essentialist construct. So they shout him down, desperate to end the discussion before it starts. You'd almost think they have something to hide.
Ironically, most of those wailing that Atzmon is slandering the Jews are themselves slandering Atzmon. They call him a racist, with no evidence to back up that charge. (Atzmon's critique of Jewish identity-politics and Jewish culture in general has absolutely nothing whatsoever do do with race, as he himself always makes abundantly clear, in part by pointing out that Jews are not a race.)
Let's look at some of the charges against Gilad that have appeared in my in-box. They usually involve taking a quote and lying about it – I mean, misconstruing it.
Atzmon quote: "The remarkable fact is they [ all Jews--not Zionists] don't understand why the world is beginning to stand against them in the same way they didn't understand why the Europeans stood against them in the 1930s. Instead of asking why we are hated they continue to toss accusations on others."
The writer claims that Atzmon is "blaming the Jews for the Holocaust." That's just not true. The quote, in its context, doesn't say that. It addresses an empirical historical reality (Europe in the 1930s, the world today) that is much larger than "the Holocaust." And once again, Gilad is the honest thinker while his opponents are the essentialists. For the essentialists, the essence of Jewishness is 100% pure victimhood, end of discussion: Not a single Jew on earth – including, for example, the Rothschilds and their big bankster friends who screwed Germany in World War I in exchange for Palestine – bears one iota of responsibility for the rise of anti-Semitism in Germany! (Just like the top neocons, of whom around 90% are Jewish and fanatical Zionists, bear not one iota of responsibility for the 9/11 wars against Israel's enemies.)
If you are an honest historian and cultural analyst, whenever there is a conflict between two groups, you look at it from the point of view of various parties in both groups, and emerge with a more or less nuanced, multi-viewpoint, holistic picture. Gilad compares this to analyzing the problems that arise in the life of a couple. Should we take the word of one or the other party that he or she is 100% right, and the other 100% wrong? Or should we talk to both parties and try to take both perspectives into consideration?
If you an essentialist/mythologist, nourished on Old Testament exceptionalism and chosen-ness (like Americans in general, not just Jews) you may instead imagine that it is the essence of the good guys in your historical narrative to be good, and the essence of the bad guys to be bad. Jews good, Germans bad; ergo, US and Allies good, Axis bad. End of sacred story.
This is the essentialist myth that Americans and Westerners have accepted in place of real history. And it is this myth, more than any other, that is responsible for what William Blum calls "the American holocaust": The massacre of uncounted millions, and the ruined lives of uncounted tens of millions more, by the CIA, the US military, and their allies since World War II. Taken together with Zionist atrocities against Palestine and their spill-over into widespread Middle East violence, and the WWII atrocities of the Allies against people in the Axis countries, and it should be clear to any sane and moderately well-informed person that the "good guys" who won World War II have committed vastly more mass-murder, vastly more atrocities, vastly greater crimes against the human body and spirit than the Nazis ever did. In short, as Philip K. Dick suggested in The Man in the High Castle, it was the real "Nazis" who WON World War II. We have met the enemy, and he is us.
Only this realization will stop the Zio-American holocaust that continues today and threatens to explode into World War III.
But – as is commonly said in reference to the "good Germans" under Hitler – it is so much easier to just pretend it isn't happening, and go along with the essentialist, exceptionalist assumption that your people are the good guys. And when someone like Niemoller or Atzmon comes along to challenge you, shout him down without giving him a fair hearing.
The confused individual who falsely charges Atzmon with blaming Jews for the Holocaust also calls Atzmon a racist:
"This is the essence of racism. Not that Jews like many before them have become corrupted by power. But that there is something pathological about Jewish culture–it must be their culture since he repudiates genetic explanations–that led them to become Zionists."
Sorry, that is NOT "the essence of racism." Racism offers biological explanations. Cultural explanations are THE OPPOSITE of racism!
Calling Atzmon "a racist" when you don't even know what racism is… well, to say that this is inviting a defamation lawsuit is putting it mildly.
This person is trying to rule out any kind of investigation of cultural factors that led Jews to become Zionists. This is idiotic on its face. So in an attempt to prevent anyone, himself included, from actually thinking, he starts in with the mendacious insults: "Racist! Anti-Semite!"
Let's get this straight: Nobody in his or her right mind has ever tried to prevent any discussion or investigation of cultural factors in history. Was there something in Protestant culture that led to the Industrial Revolution? Max Weber says yes – and he doesn't give a good goddamn whether you feel he's insulting Protestants (or Catholics) by investigating their respective cultures. Is there something in the culture of Muslim Saudi elites that is contributing to religious tensions in the region? Hell, yes – their hypocritical tolerance of wildly un-Islamic behavior for themselves, while imposing harsh restrictions on others. Is there something in Muslim culture that has slowed "economic progress" in Islamic countries? Sure, there are plenty of things, ranging from stopping to pray five times a day, to prohibitions against any kind of dealing involving interest, to culturally-accepted nepotism, to cultural preferences for working as an independent operator rather than a member of a corporate team.
Atzmon's critics are wildly irrational in calling him a racist, and claiming that nobody should ever investigate cultural forces in history (the bread and butter of cultural historians). The dozens of people signing a statement to this effect - a statement containing blatantly false and defamatory assertions about Atzmon – might as well be signing a statement reading "I am an ignorant idiot."
What these folks should be doing is reading Atzmon's work carefully and holistically, and then, if they find that Atzmon is mistaken in his analysis of the way Jewish identity politics is a factor in Zionism, they should correct him. For once we've admitted that cultural critique is perfectly legitimate, we must add that not all cultural critiques are equal: It can be done badly, or well. Sure, some of Gilad's statements about Jewish identity politics are tendentious or overly broad. And since his main focus is explaining the horrors of Zionism, he naturally talks more about negative cultural tropes than positive ones. (Personally I think that the positives in Jewish culture outweigh the negatives; but the positives, such as humor, education, bagels with lox and cream cheese and a thin slice of onion, etc. don't explain what's been done to Palestine.)
The irrational Atzmon critic continues:
As long as Zionism is conveyed as a colonial project, Jews, as a people, should be seen as ordinary people. They are no different from the French and the English, they just happen to run their deadly colonial project in a different time."
Obviously this cannot be taken at face value. The French and the English are not identical, nor were their colonial projects. One thing I learned from postgraduate work in African Studies is that the French and English colonial projects differed wildly in accordance with the very different cultural peculiarities of the two nations. For example: The French, holding a monolithically statist and egalitarian ideology in keeping with their culture, did their best to grant the natives the status of honorary Frenchmen; and being slightly less racist than the British, they were more likely to intermarry with the colonized peoples.
So what is this dramatic, doth-protest-too-much insistence that "the Jews are ordinary people, just like the French and British" trying to hide?
The answer comes in the same sentence: The "deadly colonial project" of the Jews is happening at a "different time" from that of the French and English.
Let's be specific: All other colonial projects – especially settler-colonial projects – are dead. They have passed on, ceased to be, expired and gone to meet their Maker; stiff, bereft of life, they rest in peace. If the Israelis hadn't nailed Occupied Palestine to its perch, they would all be pushing up daisies.
The age of colonialism ended in about 1960; the process mostly happened within a few years, and was essentially complete within three decades. South Africa, the second-to-last settler colony, officially decolonized itself around 1990.
So what is it about Israel that allows it to persist as a fanatical, murderous settler-colony, vastly nastier than apartheid South Africa or French Algeria, in a post-colonial world?
Gilad Atzmon says that to answer that question, we need to take a very close, critical look at Jewish culture in general and Jewish identity politics in particular.
If there is a reasonable argument to the contrary, I would like to hear it.
But I don't think there is.
I think it will be people following the trail Gilad blazed – people who discover that the persistence of a very peculiar and very nasty settler-colony in Palestine is largely due to the peculiarities of Jewish identity politics – who will, by ripping the mask off Zionism show what it really is, shame the world in general and the Jewish community in particular into shutting down their settler colony in Occupied Palestine.
Currently, the sacred taboos and one-sided myths that surround this issue are protecting Zionism. Blast those taboos to smithereens, and the Wall will come down.
Like Joshua at the battle of Jerico, Gilad is heroically blasting the Wall – the wall that stops us from thinking as well as the Apartheid Wall in Occupied Palestine – with his saxophone as well as his pen.
One day the Wall will crumble.
And Gilad will be playing at the celebration.
Hope to see you there.

Generally good article. Weakened, however, by a glib "straw man" that seeks to turn all racialist inquiry into black crime rates into "bigotry".
You can do better than that, and by God we will all have to do better than that.
Atzmon is a hero.

You don't have to tell me, mate, Atzmon has got it right and his detractors–genocidal megalomaniacs who think they're the master race–are out to silence him. I hope they aren't in a position to do him any actual harm, get him fired from his job, that sort of thing.

Fyi, a discussion thread on the so-called 'progressive' forum 'Rigorous Intuition' which I find very disturbing.
While all kinds of subjects, some of the most outlandish, are given free rein; when it comes to Atzmon, Israel, Zionism and disproportionate Jewish control of finance, media, markets and political policy, in swoops a self-proclaimed 'elite' thought-control police.
Anti-Imperialism & Anti-Humanist Rhetoric of Gilad Atzmon.
Sign of disturbing times.

Israel's 'Right To Exist'
By Phillip F. Tourney | January 17, 2009
I have heard it for the entirety of my 61 years of life, Israel's 'Right To Exist'. In fact, in recent memory I have heard this phrase more than I've heard 'Happy Thanksgiving' or 'Merry Christmas' or even 'Have a Good 4th.
Israel seems to exist quite well. Her people have a very high living standard compared to the rest of the world. Israel has the most sophisticated armed forces in the Middle East, if indeed not the world. According to one of our former presidents, Israel is said to possess several hundred nuclear weapons and if we are to believe some of the things said by Israel's leaders in recent years she is ready to destroy mankind if her leaders choose to do so. … continue

You don't pay for tutoring unless you find a good fit!
I love teaching Italian. I lived in that beautiful country for 28 years and I moved to the States in 2004. It takes a long time to really understand the culture and also the language.I studied at the university of Bologna and I got my Master's in Agricultural Science in 2003. I got a major in wine too, since I studied to become a sommelier in 2005. Since I came to the States I had several jobs in the wine industry as well as in restaurants. I have been teaching Italian from almost 6 years and I discovered very soon I love teaching this beautiful but also difficult language. I'm currently a teacher at the Academy of Languages in Seattle, but I do have also private students. I can teach grammar at any level as well as conversation. I'm friendly but I like committed students. Feel free to contact me and we can discuss about details!GRAZIE!

Quantum Level Process
Revolution Power has some fuses that are are treated with a proprietary quantum level process. So what is a quantum level process and how does a manufacture apply it?
Technical: To understand the advantage of the 99% Silver + 1% Gold combination, think about silver's crystalline structure. The drawing process for silver (or copper) wire causes micro cracks in the surface of the wire. The cooling process also results in imperfect crystal grid structures. Both of these "deformities", relative to the ideal of a perfect conductor, result in surface distortion when current flows through the wire. The addition of 24K gold fills the micro cracks and the empty spaces between the crystal boundaries to improve transmission properties, while also inhibiting the surface oxidation and tarnishing that will occur over time otherwise. These custom, precious metal fuses are also cryogenically treated using Europe's only cryo system from Cryogenics International (USA). Finally, the Supreme fuses are treated with a proprietary quantum level process.

I didn't know you could distort electrons by having micro-cracks in the surface of the conductor...
Also, anybody that uses "quantum" when describing an electrical device is definitely 'marketing' to audiophools... |

The cooling process also results in imperfect crystal grid structures.
Solution? Freeze it further. |

Many years ago snake oil salesmen all used 'radium' in their products. Where genuine, it made people ill. Then everything had to be 'computer-controlled' (even a bread toaster - it could still burn toast). Now everything is 'quantum' or 'cryogenic'. Maybe soon everything will include 'Higgs' or 'dark energy'.
Note that "imperfect crystal grid structures" are an important source of electron scattering, which is the origin of electrical resistance (and a contributor to thermal resistance?). No scattering means no resistance. You need electrical resistance in a fuse (and some thermal resistance) otherwise it doesn't heat up and doesn't act as a fuse. To the extent that their processing works, it reduces the effectiveness as a fuse!! |

These fuses might be the long lost missing link between reality and Quantum Purifiers...
As to the quantum level process, they probably shine a light on them for inspection. |

Try these two options:
1. Got some fuses here, really nice $80 each. 2. Quantum BS cryo blah blah electron scatter yaddah yaddah, veils will be dropping like the dance of seven for the amazingly low price of $80!! Equally inane but many will go for pitch #2.

Roky Erickson
Roky Erickson
Like Syd Barrett, a common point of reference, Roky Erickson rose to cult-hero status as much for his music as for his tragic personal life; in light of his legendary bouts with madness and mythic drug abuse, the influence exerted by his garage-bred psychedelia was often lost in the shuffle. Born Roger Kynard Erickson on July 15, 1947, in Dallas, TX, he began playing the piano at age five; by age 12, he had also taken up the guitar. The child of an architect and would-be opera singer, Erickson dropped out of high school to become a professional musician. In 1965, he penned his most famous composition, "You're Gonna Miss Me," which he first recorded with a group called the Spades. The song and his high, swooping tenor brought him to the attention of another area band, the psychedelia-influenced 13th Floor Elevators, whose lyricist and jug player Tommy Hall invited Erickson to join; the Elevators soon cut their own version of "You're Gonna Miss Me," and took the single to number 56 on the pop charts in 1966.

Municipal bonds are issued directly to investors to meet instant cash requirements. Bond issuers must spend the cash generatedthrough the issuance of these bonds either instantly or over a period of five years from the date of issue.
When an investor buys a municipal bond, s/he is lending money to the issuing authority. In return, the issuing authority guarantees to repay the principle amount along with a specific interest. The interest is remitted either on a periodic basis or as a lump sum (along with the principal) on bond maturity.
While investing in municipal bonds, an investor should consider the following factors:
The four most common types of municipal bonds are:

Countertop Covered In Pennies & Epoxy
I have a confession. I've wanted to cover a countertop (or table top) in pennies and epoxy ever since I first saw the bar tops at Fuddrucker's many years ago.

I love looking at all kinds of DIY projects, but I admit that when I see people actually build their own furniture from scratch, I have all kinds of admiration for them. I mean, that takes some serious skill and vision. For example, this DIY farmhouse table and bench from Ashley at Domestic Imperfection is nothing short of spectacular. It was a group effort...a project that she worked on along with her husband and her brothers-in-law--and the … [Read more...]

Location was great, staff was wonderful, and room was very comfortable. Having stayed there with my family, I have only two issues: no free wi fi, and no pool. Other than that, we had an all around great experience! Highly recommend!!Genuine Expedia guest review
It was very bad experience!!! We were charge for the service which never was received, and I don't know how, but my personal information was used without my authorization! My advice - be aware and check all your statements after checking out from the hotel.Genuine Hotels.com guest review

"Nice hotel"
The hotel was very nice and had good service. My only complaint is that I found hair on the sheets/pillowcase the first night. Hair that was definitely not mine. The staff responded very quickly and I soon had clean sheets.Genuine Expedia guest review
WAS DISSAPOINTED THAT THE HOTEL DID NOT HAVE A POOLGenuine Hotels.com guest review
We called ahead to request a room with a view. We were told all king 2 room suites had a view. Our room had a view of the hotel wall and a non impressive skyscraper. They moved us to a jr suite which we could have paid considerably less for. Don't pay for a king st. You will be very disappointed. The rooms looked like your grandmas house and you have […] to stand to see out the windows Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review

"Gas lamp Marriott"
no pool, though perfect location and appropriate for Marriott. staff failed to let us know about 21st floor hospitality suite until second day.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Convenient and Comfortable"
The hotel was located within walking distance of most of the places we wanted to see. Just a few minutes in a taxi got us anywhere else. The accomodations were comfortable and well-kept, and the staff was friendly and helpful. I would definitely stay here again.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
Enjoyed our stay very much, the only thing that we missed in the room is a sofaGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Wonderful experience"
The hotel was extremely clean and in convenient location. The view from my room was spectacular. I had an amazing nice sleep. It was the best experience.Genuine Expedia guest review
Response by San Diego Marriott Gaslamp Quarter Thank you for the terrifc review, we appreciate you taking the time to share your visit. We are very fortunate to be located in such a vibrant area where we are only steps to everything San Diego has to offer. I hope that you will stay with us again! All our best,
I would probably stay again.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Gaslamp quarter area & restaurants wonderful"
22nd floor rooftop bar was awesome,we watched the Padre's score the winning home run in the bottom of the 9th. Quality of hotel excellent, room very nice, as well as location. A bit expensive, especially the valet parking. No pool but the rooftop view made up for it. Loved San Diego.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
Response by San Diego Marriott Gaslamp Quarter Thank you for the five star review! Everyday our associates strive to exceed our guests expectations, and I'm glad to see we exceeded yours. We look forward to welcoming you back. Thank you for staying with us. Best regards,
Clean room, cozy bed, room key gets you up to rooftop bar/club which is a great added benefit when the line is through the lobby you just breeze right by to the elevators, valet takes 15-20 min, all in all great stay in SDGenuine Hotels.com guest review
The place was very good. Great staff. The beds were really smallGenuine Expedia guest review
"The Right way to do down town"
We had plans for a bday dinner and trip to Stingaree. Had a blast at the club then came to the Hotel. We checked in road the elevator all the way up to sky bar and had a blast. Room was great, clean, good coffee in the pot. No fridge but we didnt need one. The beds were clean and decently comfortable. Next time we go down town we're doing that agai […] n!

"San Diego Marriott Gaslamp Quarter"
The Hotel had everything you would want to do or see within walking distance, including Petco Park right across the street for all the baseball fans. Great service, rooms, lounges, and restaurant. Highly recommend!!!!!!!!!!!!!Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Awesome Stay!"
Came to San Diego for a Dodgers game vs the Padres. Couldn't of picked a better Hotel. It's located across from the stadium. Gaslamp District is a block away. It's pretty much near everything. Had a great time and to finish it off, went up to the 22nd floor to their Lounge and it was awesome. Great music and friendly atmosphere. A benefit of staying […] here is that you dont have to make line to the lounge. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
"Great Location, Quiet hotel"
We stayed here because it's right next to Petco Park. We were thrilled with the location to everything in the Gaslamp and especially how quiet the hotel is. It was incredibly busy with people for opening day but our room was quiet and the beds are very comfortable.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Nice Hotel to stay in San Diego"
Very nice hotel. The bed is really comfortable and clean.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Great place to stay!"
Great hotel in a great location. Within walking distance to all of the downtown activities, shops and restaurants. Gaslamp Quarter is a great place to stay! My only complaint is the view from my room. I asked for a good view and was told I had a city view. I was in room 909 (9th floor) and my two large windows were both frosted glass so you couldn't […] see out. The windows did open about 9-12 inches each, however we were at the level of a rooftop and could only see rooftop concrete and air handlers. We had zero city view! I will say that the rooftop of the hotel is accessible and had gorgeous views. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
"Good deal...good service...great location."
An all around good experience. I needed to so early check-in, they could not have been nicer. All my experiences with the staff were very positive and it is really a great location.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
the hotel is in a perfect location, the rooftop bar is our favorite bar in San Diego especially during baseball season!! within walking distance to everything in gaslamp!! A fabulous hotel!Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Great Place!"
We stayed here for a bachelor party. Excellent Location to all restauraunts and bars! The Roof-top bar was amazing! Great views! Great breakfast was included! Friendly staff accomodated our requests. Would definitely stay here again!Genuine Expedia guest review
Great location! The room was well appointed and spacious. The staff was friendly and helpful. My only issue was the quality of the buffet breakfast. Food was undercooked and cold-runny eyes and barely cooked bacon. Coffee was not good. Although the breakfast was disappointing, our stay was great!Genuine Hotels.com guest review
The TV is too low to watch comfortably while reclining in the bed.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Beautful elegant great concierge floor room"
Perfect at reasonable rate. Large room. Recently renovated. Loved it.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Great location."
This hotel was perfect. It was right across the street from PETCO park, and was within easy walking distance of everything in the GAs light district! very nice place to stay!Genuine Expedia guest review
"Great San Diego stay!"
Fantastic hotel! Big candy bowls are always out! The staff is very friendly. Hotel is adorable and so clean. Close to everything!Genuine Expedia guest review
"A good mix of business and pleasure."
Staff was great- I accidentally left my phone in the car once and the valet guy literally ran to go get it. Nice bar on the roof- perfect for a drink at the end of a long day.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Nice hotel, lousy service and useless staff."
The service at this hotel was horrible for this stay. We had our room cleaned at 5pm the first night and the second night they didn't come until we called at 6pm. At that point, we declined service but hoped to get some compensation in return. Nothing could be offered by the staff on duty. I have stayed here before and had decent service but will look […] at other options for our next visit. We pay too much to be treated in this manner and are not satisfied at all with our stay.

"San Diego Gaslamp Marriott"
Very nice, will definitely be back, short walk to everything in the Gaslamp.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Very convenient"
Stayed here for a conference at the San Diego Convention Center. Very convenient if you don't mind walking a few blocks. Hotel was comfortable.Genuine Expedia guest review
"The SD Marriot Gas Lamp - Convenient Location"
The San Diego Marriott Gaslamp Quarter -- Convenient location!! Walking distance to ALL!! PetCo Park, Convention Center, Restaurants, Night life!! Parking was high if you valet with the hotel... thought we'd get a better rate since we were staying at the hotel, but no. However, there is a parking structure right across the street at more than half the […] cost of the Marriotts Parking!! Literally just crossed the street to get to parking structure with the better parking rate (although it was NOT valet). Overall, wonderful place to stay!!! Would Highly recommend it! Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Just great"
This is a perfect hotel with great staff. The is was my second stay and I'd stay here again in a heartbeat. The rooms are generously sized and nicely appointed with everything you might want in a business hotel. My room had a large corner desk with free wired internet and three outlets built into it. The desk also had a lovely view of Petco Park, Coronado, […] and the bay. The rooms aren't more traditional style than modern, but you'll find fine materials like granite and wood throughout the room and bathroom. The tile in the bathroom is especially impressive; what you'd expect from a much more expensive hotel. You'll also find a coffee maker, iron, safe... everything you'd expect. The only thing missing was a minibar. But for business, it's great. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The location is hard to beat, right near the convention center, the water, a public transit station, the Gaslamp district with its many bars and restaurants... what more could you ask for? It's not the cheapest hotel in all of downtown, but it's also far from the most expensive. It's worth every penny, especially if you need to be near the convention center. Highly recommended. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
"Gave it a high rating, but shower was too short"
Loved the location for the Padres game! Loved the breakfast buffet! Loved the room! Loved how quickly the staff took care of bringing extras like crib and fridge to the room! But....My hubby is 6'3" and he had to duck his head to take a shower. I am 5'1" so it seemed to fit me well, although the soap holder was at my knee height. The shower head was […] only inches above my head so when my husband showered he had to lower his head to get under the water. Other than that it was a great location for restaurants, Padres stadium, shopping and convention center. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"comfy beds, great location"
so nice to have windows that open for fresh air, nice staff and perfect locationGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Great hotel to stay at while visiting San Diego!"
The San Diego Marriott Gaslamp Quarter hotel is conveniently located next to Petco Park home of the San Diego Padres. It is within walking distance to Seaport Village, the convention center & Horton Plaza. There are great restaurants on every block surrounding the hotel. We even watched the Padres play a game from our hotel window along with fireworks […] that followed after the game. The hotel is nicely appointed with a modern decor. The staff is very friendly & helpful. There is a nightclub on the roof overlooking the city with a beautful view of the Coronado bridge & San Diego bay. This is a great hotel to stay at if you've never stayed in downtown San Deigo, or even if you have visited the city many times. I would definitely stay here again! Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
"Great location, but find another option"
Numerous issues with incorrect charges to our account (valet, room service, and we were even double-charged for our weekend stay). Problems were eventually fixed...after numerous phone calls. No apologies given. Also, hotel has a night club on top floor, which makes for a mess Thursday - Saturday night (some elevators only used for club goers, line […] of drunks waiting in line in the lobby to use the elevators). Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
"Great location, nice neighborhood"
Gaslamp has great nightlife and this hotel is in good location for it. If you're not into the nightlife, it might annoy you that theres a club on the top floor and therefore the lobby is filled with people every night lining up by the elevator to get in. Also I could not locate any close parking other than the valet at the hotel, which was close to […] $40/day plus tip. Overall though, it was a nice hotel in a great location for a decent price. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Too bad the walls are paper thin!"
The hotel was great; awesome location, super clean, staff very helpful, BUT the walls are super thin! I've. Never stayed at a hotel where I could overhear so much!! At night, we could hear EVERYTHING our neighbors were doing. Too bad, really. The noise next door, down the hall, even outside woke us up :(Genuine Expedia guest review
"Not a good experience"
The check-in and check-out process was not friendly. We also thought the room price was reasonable for the area, then found out there's a $34 per night (!!!) parking add-on. The bar scene was over the top with rooms on our floor full of rowdy partying people.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Great stay @ San Diego Marriott Gaslamp Quarter"
Perfectly located, nicely appointed accommodations. Restaurant/breakfast were wonderful. Not a single complaint.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Marriott Gaslamp: Close to Convention Ctr and Game"
Actually, very nice hotel, clean, comfortable. Great location in the Gaslamp quarter and very close to the convention center if you're coming into town for a conference there. BE AWARE that this hotel is adjacent to PetCo Park, where the Padres play. If you're a baseball fan or here for the games, that could be great. If you're not, and don't feel like […] dealing with the significant extra foot traffic and the crowds that come to the (really very nice) rooftop bar every game night, then this place may not be for you. Also, there is no swimming pool. But spacious rooms, comfortable beds, decent gym on the roof, very pleasant service. Overall, highly recommended. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"It is OK"
The location of the hotel is good AND bad. It is in the historical Gaslamp quarter of the city and with a lot of shops and restaurants around, which is very convenient. However, it is right next to the San Diego Padre Baseball park, which can get quite noisy during the baseball season. The room is clean and new, but sometime the pipes in the bathroom […] make noise, even in the middle of the night which can be annoying. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review

Grown Ups 2
'Grown Ups 2' no easier to watch than No.1
It would be dishonest to call "Grown Ups 2" the most repellent high-profile comedy in recent memory. But that's largely because few moviegoers have memories kind enough to have already erased 2010's "Grown Ups" — which offered almost every loathsome quality of this installment, plus Rob Schneider.

Thanks guys for a million views on Dot Dot Dot. I know, most folks are pretty tired of hearing about it. But I figured I had to do something to celebrate :)
However, if you're a fan and you wanna play with some of your favorite phrases and words, go rock out!
*** *** ***
Lol! Thanks so much for the FP, that was certainly unexpected! Don't worry, this was wrap up button for Dot. Someone very appropriately called it "a final bow" ... which is exactly what this was. Thanks again NG :D

Lol, I found some fun combos too
Rated 2 / 5 stars February 11, 2011
That's enough.
It was funny for a little while, but it has gone too far.
To me, this looks like an effort to get every little ad revenue penny out of this thing you can. You are taking the spotlight away from many other flash artists out there who put more time into their work than you did.
Too much man, too much. Don't take it personally though.
Ouch! I was probably the first person to say that dot was over exposed.if anything it's cast a shadow on my past and future releases, which I spent and plan to spend more time on. The couple dollars this brings isn't exactly taking advantage of the revenue system. Amd like I said, this is for fans of the project. I felt like some kind of project was due for the million view mark.

Alberto, you are a gentleman, we had a very comfortable stay and would recommend your B & B, immaculate inside, from walking through the main door... straight through the whole accommodation. We wanted for nothing. We were left to come and go as we pleased and never felt we were intruding on anyone as this was our fear when booking shared facilities. Alberto speaks perfect English and answered any questions we had. Thank you again for a comfortable stay. Jim & Yvonne podľa Happyholidays, (Glasgow), dňa 07/11/2013

stage in human embryonic development; fluid-filled ball of cells that implants in the endometrium
membrane that forms from the inner cell mass and an extraembryonic mesoderm or connective tissue regulates hormone activity in the uterus
stage of embryonic development when the fluid filled ball pushes inward to form 2 cell layers
yolk sac
small pouch near the umbilical region, formed from hypoblast cells it forms blood cells and gonad cells
Apgar score
assement of infants physical status; based on HR, BR, color, muscle tone, and feflex...done w/i the first 5 minutes of birth, 8-10 is healthy
Hormone produced by the placenta that causes pelvic ligaments and pubic symphissis to relax
Stages of pregnancy
Gestation -last menstrual period until birth , Conceptus-Fertilization plus 2wks, Embrionic- 3-8 wks Fetal Development- 9wks to birth
Slow block
Zip-zonal inhibiting destroys sperm recepters (causes other sperm bound to recepters to detach
(Human chorionic gonadtropin) SECRETED BY Trophoblast prompts the Corpus Luteum to continue to secret projesterone and estrogen
Human Chorionic thyrotropin- Hormone the placenta releases that increases the rate of maternal metabolism
Central acidosis
Carbon dioxide accumulated in babys blood that triggers the babys first breath
Released from the anterior pituitary gland , hormone that stimulates the breast to produce milk.
Collection of IgA antibodys,protein, vitamin A and minerals secreted prior to lactation
Hormone relesed from posterior pituitary causes let down reflex(ejection of milk during nursing) , stimulates contraction of the uterus during child birth
most favored time for fertilization
3 days before ovulation, no later than 24 hours after ovulation
An incrase in the fragility of the membranes of sperm cells when exposed to the female reproductive tract. Capacitation is required sot aht the acrosomal enzymes can be relased to faciliate fertilization.
acrosomal reaction
The discharge of hydrolytic enzymes from the acrosome, a vesicle in the tip of a sperm, when the sperm approaches or contacts an egg
The union of haploid gametes to produce a diploid zygote (pronuclei come together chromosomes replicate)
The burrowing of a blastocyst (a developing embryo) into the endometrium of the uterus, typically occuring about a week after fertilizaiton.
Decidua basalis
part of the endometrium that lies between the chorionic villi and the stratum basalis
Dilation stage
time from labor's onset until cervix is fully dilated by the baby's head.(10cm)
period of fairly rapid mitotic divisions of the zygote without intervening growth.produces a structure called a blastocyte.
the removal of the glycoprotein coat covering a sperm's acrosome; occurs in the uterine tube by the enzymes released by the follicle cells
third stage in the first trimester; formation of blood vessels and development of placenta
embryonic disc
the subdivided inner cell mass formed from the upper epiblast and the lower hypoblast
function of the hormone hCG (human chorionic gonadotropin
signals the corpus luteum to continue producing estrogen and progesterone to maintain the pregnancy.
corona radiata
is an arrangement of elongated follicle cells that surrounds the mature oocyte and the zona pellucida
