The Palestine Solidarity Movement: A Recipe for Kosher anti-Zionism
British Palestine Solidarity outfit 'Palestine Place' provides a platform for anti-Syrian speakers, while ostracising and banning activists who choose to discuss topics designated as 'no-go' by Zionist ideology. This is symptomatic of a wider disease prevalent in the 'Palestine Solidarity Movement'.
The Palestine Solidarity Movement, not only within the UK but across nations worldwide, is becoming increasingly fractured and impotent. The movement is characterised by swathes of different groups squabbling amongst themselves, and ostracising members(1) who cross certain red lines – red lines which have been drawn by Zionism.
'Palestine Place': Symptoms of a Wider Disease
During my own recent experiences at 'Palestine Place' in London, I was unfortunate enough to witness acute symptoms of the disease afflicting the Palestine Solidarity Movement. The disease is not unique to Palestine Place; it afflicts the wider Palestine Solidarity Movement and the liberal 'left' in the UK. Not only is the Palestine Solidarity Movement paralysed with fear of being branded with the anti-Semitism epithet, but it routinely falls prey to Zionist and imperialist deception, manipulation, and propaganda. The carnal fear of being branded an 'anti-Semite' prevents any level of open and honest discussion on anything pertaining to Israel and the Zionist project – especially its founding myths which must be openly discussed and debated in order for truth to see light.
Outlawing Thoughtcrime in the Service of Zionism
During an open discussion at Palestine Place in June 2012, one attendee brought up the subject of Gilad Atzmon's alleged anti-Semitism. The gentleman proceeded to misrepresent Atzmon's words in order to paint him as a racist who merely seeks to attack Judaism.
During this discussion the subject of holocaust denial and holocaust revisionism came up. At no point was the holocaust denied by anybody present, however this writer did make the point that we must make a distinction between 'revisionism' and 'denial'. All historical events must be open to investigation and questioning; the very concept of history is based on revisionism. What legitimate reason could we possibly have for shielding any historical event from examination? We are constantly reminded that we must learn from history lest it repeat itself (reminiscent of the 'never again' mantra), yet we are prevented from examining these very elements of history!
This particular discussion at Palestine Place continued for ten or fifteen minutes before the next scheduled discussion was due to begin. During this time, dedicated pro-Palestinian activist Ken O'Keefe came to Gilad Atzmon's defence, drawing attention to Atzmon's idea that Jewishness and Jewish culture must be part of our investigation of Israeli and Zionist ideology. Are Israel's tanks, gunships and warplanes not adorned with the Jewish Star of David? Is 'Israel' not a self-professed Jewish State? The gentleman who had chosen to accuse Atzmon of anti-Semitism had misrepresented Atzmon's views and launched into a baseless ad hominem attack.
Immediately before the next scheduled speaker, a spokesman for Palestine Place made an announcement to the following effect: some people have decided to air their views on the holocaust, we must remind you that at Palestine Place we do not tolerate anti-Semitism and we will not be discussing the holocaust any further.
It must be noted that this was after the same spokesperson had emphatically stated that day, that Palestine Place was not affiliated with any solidarity organisation (such as the UK Palestine Solidarity Campaign), purely to avoid the politicisation and control of discussion!
This relatively small incident demonstrates how the Palestine Solidarity Movement is not only subject to Zionist bullying, infiltration, and lobbying, but more importantly cultural indoctrination. We are instilled with a cardinal fear of discussing the holocaust outside of the officially accepted narrative – a 'thoughtcrime' in this democracy and beacon of free speech known as Great Britain.
The knee-jerk 'we do not tolerate anti-Semitism' emotional reaction is sadly typical, and it is trotted out before one iota of thought has been given to the content and substance of the discussion.
It is incredibly sad and disheartening to see that the Palestine Solidarity Movement is utterly beholden to Zionism's biggest rhetorical weapon: false charges of anti-Semitism coupled with a religious observance of and adherence to the dogma of 'the holocaust'.
As activists and truth seekers, are we actually going to conflate historical revisionism (the practice of investigating and revising our understanding of history based on facts and free debate) with racism? This logic is completely lost on those who have an immediate emotional reaction to this question.
Palestine Place Bars Prominent Pro-Palestine Activist, Backs Foreign Insurrection in Syria
On June 13, 2012, Palestine Place hosted a talk on the subject of Syria. Several guests were invited to speak – all of whom were anti-Assad and pro-'revolution'. Without exception, all of the speakers represented the viewpoint of the corrupt Gulf dictatorships, the USA and Israel, who are jointly seeking the dissolution of all bastions of Arab resistance to Zionism and Western neocolonialism.
Shortly before the talk, I witnessed Ken O'Keefe being asked to leave the premises by organisers who cited a 'group decision' that had been made. Hypocritically, not one of the attendees to the talk was consulted about this decision – the decision was made by Palestine Place's organisers and had no 'grassroots' input whatsoever.
After Ken had left the premises the talks continued and the speakers dictated their opinion to the almost exclusively young (18-23) and impressionable crowd. One after another the anti-Assad guests expounded their mythical idea that the 'revolution' in Syria was at all indigenous, as opposed to being a foreign-led insurrection, which is now a clearly established reality.
The speakers were Simon Assaf, UK-based Syrian activist Shiar Youssef, activist Dan Gorman, and 'internet researcher and activist' Miriyam Asfar.
Simon Assaf's previous writings shed light on his ideological position. He is a commentator who claims to oppose western intervention in Libya and Syria, while breathlessly parroting the lies and propaganda that enable it. He saw the NATO-appointed NTC's calls for a 'no-fly zone' over Libya as "genuine calls for help",(2) and he mindlessly repeats the long-discredited claims that Gaddafi bombarded civilian demonstrations from the air. He even claimed that the case for the intervention in Libya was "very powerful".(3)
At Palestine Place, Assaf continued with his delusional and romantic narrative wherein he painted the foreign-led counter-revolution in Syria as an indigenous people's and workers' revolution. He smugly dismissed 'al Qaeda' involvement in Syria as paranoid conspiracy theory.
No reasonable person would debate the CIA's use of what would become 'al Qaeda' in Afghanistan throughout the 1980s to achieve its strategic objectives. This is not the stuff of 'conspiracy theory', rather it is established historical fact.
Assaf chose to ignore the deeply sectarian, thuggish, and terroristic inclinations of the 'revolutionaries' in Syria. Even the mainstream press has been forced to admit(4) that Abdelhakim Belhaj, former leader of the Libyan Islamic Fighting Group (LIFG), is providing fighters and assistance to the so-called Free Syrian Army.
The LIFG, still listed as a terrorist group by the US State Department,(5) is a paradigmatic example of one of the CIA's many proxy armies of brainwashed sectarian drones – commonly referred to collectively as 'al Qaeda'.
Assaf, as well as the other speakers, reminded the audience that the 'revolution' started in Daraa, Syria, in March 2011. What they didn't draw attention to was the fact that Daraa, like the majority of the hotspots in the Syrian unrest, is on Syria's border. As a result of calls from short-sighted, hateful and poisonously sectarian-minded Sunni religious leaders (including our new 'al Qaeda' boogeyman Ayman al-Zawahiri), 'jihadists' in Turkey, Jordan, Lebanon and Iraq have flocked to Syria to fight against the Assad regime(6) (Assad is an Alawi and non-sectarian leader who allows 18 different sects to live in harmony). These 'jihadists' include Abdelhakim Belhaj's men, who were shipped to Turkey in order to allow them to infiltrate Syria's borders(7) from there. Further to this, the United States and Jordanian militaries began a joint military exercise known as Eager Lion in the summer of 2011.(8) What is the significance of this, and why is the majority of the unrest in border regions?
The Houla Killings – Fruit of the 'FSA'
Predictably, Assaf and the other speakers accused the Assad regime of committing brutal massacres against the Syrian people. The Houla massacre – an event which is held as the 'trump card' by the 'opposition' in Syria, is deserving of inspection here.
In the immediate aftermath of the Houla massacre, the Syrian 'opposition' and media outlets across the spectrum attempted to blame the killings on artillery attacks by the Syrian Army. When it became clear that most of the victims were killed at close range, many with stab wounds, the narrative became 'pro-regime militia'. Now however, after the dust has settled, it is clear that pro-Assad elements had nothing to do with the Houla massacre, and in fact it was the so-called 'Free Syrian Army' and 'opposition' that is most likely responsible.
The Assad regime would have nothing to gain but everything to lose by perpetrating the Houla killings. These murders have played right into the hands of Syria's enemies – those who seek regime change under the barrel of a 'humanitarian' gun. Initial reports from the opposition contradicted the physical manner in which the victims were killed. Three days after the event, Human Rights Watch joined the chorus blaming Assad and 'pro-government forces'.(9)
However, the facts betray this speculation from the Syrian 'opposition' and so-called human rights groups such as Human Rights Watch.
Those killed were nearly exclusively families from the Alawi and Shia minorities in Sunni-majority Houla (while HRW and the 'opposition' try to suggest that the victims were Sunni). This included several dozen members of one extended family, which had converted from Sunni to Shia Islam. Also killed was the family of a Sunni member of parliament who was considered a government collaborator by the rebels.
Considering these points(10) and the fact that the massacre occurred as three Syrian Army checkpoints were being attacked by armed gangs around the town, the idea that the Syrian Army was responsible for the Houla killings is asinine. It is now evident that the sectarian terrorists whom people such as Simon Assaf refer to as 'revolutionaries', were responsible for this heinous crime.
Another notable moment during Palestine Place's decidedly anti-Syrian evening was when 'activist' Dan Gorman showed the audience a video of an opposition-produced puppet show which ridiculed Bashar al-Assad and his father, Hafez. During the few-minute sequence, the puppets of Bashar and Hafez joked about killing Syrians, and bemoaned the propaganda peddled by Al Jazeera and Al Arabiya. The entire audience smugly nodded, laughed and clapped as this 'Two Minutes Hate' played out before them.
When UK-based Syrian activist Shiar Youssef took the stage, he forged another memorable moment. "This is just how we work in Syria", he said. He was referring to how Syrian activists work, compared to the way in which the Palestine Place activists were sat around on the floor of the room, gazing at the speaker. I have to confess, this reminded me of when UK Foreign Secretary William Hague admitted that the UK government is training Syrian activists.(11)
Conclusion: Solidarity Demands Intellectual Courage, not Servility & Herd Mentality
Palestine Place is, in every way, a microcosm of the international Palestine Solidarity Movement. Toothless, pseudo-enlightened know-it-alls who are intellectually servile, exclusivist, drowned in ego, and utterly impotent.
Ostensibly it has no individual leaders and is purely democratic, but this is meaningless since it religiously adheres to specific pre-defined boundaries of discussion. Freedom of speech and discussion exists only on paper; 'thought criminals' are barred and ostracised. It claims to present the opportunity for "radical change". It 'occupies' a building with the full cooperation of the landowner (this writer confirmed this by speaking to activists on-site).
Frank Barat, a London-based human rights activist tells Mondoweiss about the ins and outs of Palestine Place. Barat, who this writer suspects plays a role in the Palestine Place project, promotes the organisation(12) as a movement that will mean the West will "never be the same again".
He also insists that Palestine Place is "open to everyone and belongs to everyone", and that it is a "hub of creativity, discussions and possibility for radical change".
Palestine Place completely betrays these ideals.
Discussion of historical events intimately linked to Palestine and the history of Zionism, has been stifled. Attendees are banned and ostracised for having a different opinion; discussion outside of the mainstream is prohibited at this 'radical' outfit – whether this concerns the attendees or the opinionated, one-sided speakers who are invited to talk.
Palestine Place's official 'Safe Spaces Policy' bars holocaust revisionism(13) (the act of enriching our understanding of history on an ongoing basis by examining and documenting the facts). I must reiterate: what legitimate reason could we possibly have for shielding any historical event from examination? What are they afraid of? What is there to hide? We are constantly reminded that we must learn from history lest it repeat itself (reminiscent of the 'never again' mantra), yet Palestine Place chooses to protect this aspect of history from scrutiny!
Interestingly, Palestine Place's Safe Spaces Policy calls for (emphasis mine) "An end to the occupation and colonization of all Arab lands occupied since 1967". Does the land ethnically cleansed and occupied in 1948 not count? Did Israel's crimes start in 1967? Palestine Place attempts to normalise the Nakba here, accepting the legitimacy of the 1948 land thefts and only referring to the 1967 occupation.
The following passage from the same policy statement is simply staggering in its dishonesty, keeping in mind the practices of Palestine Place:
Palestine Place will not be dogmatic nor prescriptive about attitudes, opinions or beliefs that relate to the political debate around Palestine.
Palestine Place is not an environment that encourages any level of independent or critical thought. Youngsters, keen to learn about the Palestinian cause (and the geopolitical landscape surrounding it – i.e. Syria) are being corralled into adopting a kosher 'anti-Zionist' viewpoint that will pose zero threat to Zionism.
Outspoken and dedicated pro-Palestinian voices are banned and ostracised. Guest speakers are invited who are exclusively representing a one-sided point of view. Discussion of Zionism's founding myths are prevented. This supposed 'solidarity' outfit has demonstrably positioned itself into an anti-Palestinian standpoint, either wittingly or unwittingly.
The Palestine Solidarity Movement is terminally afraid of discussing subjects that are designated 'no-go' areas by Zionist ideology. The incessant false charges of 'anti-Semitism' is Zionism's biggest ideological weapon – and we all know it – but our movement has no defence.
Only with real independent thought and intellectual courage will our movement proceed.
When we are held emotionally hostage by certain ideas, we must ask why.
We must never stop the pursuit of truth, regardless of the level of 'herd mentality' around us. We must take a step back and think objectively.
Exposing any and all deceptions which alter perceptions about Israel, anti-Semitism, and Palestine, is our place.

By the power of deception. -
Very well said and thoughtfully documented, thanks Martin. Sadly the Palestine Palestine Solidarity Movement & BDS are both "Paper Tigers" and are largely impotent and useless and need replacing. I don't think they can be reformed, we need something new free from NGO thought control, something with Teeth.
Great write-up Martin. Thanks
According to Frank Barat in the New Internationalist
Palestine Place is open to everyone and belongs to everyone. There is no organization behind it and all the activists behind the project are there in personal capacities.
Yet Ken runs foul of the Safe Spaces Policy, the relevant section of which is becoming a formula for exclusion.
Having told us that PP is united by " three demands made by Palestinian Civil Society" beyond which PP "will not be dogmatic nor perscriptive about attitudes, opinions, or beliefs within the space that relate to the political debate around Palestine" we then get:
. Expressions of oppressive beliefs, dogmas, and/or politics relating to either the subjugation of the Palestinian people or of an anti semetic nature will not be tolerated and may result in a person being asked to leave.
what seems to have been removed in the last few hours however is this:
(these include Nakba or Holocaust denial or revisionism, holding the Jewish people collectively responsible for the actions of the state of Israel or Palestinians collectively responsible for the actions of the any individual or group of Palestinians.)
In other words dogma and prescription.
We are told that PP "is an anti Zionist and anti racist space" and yet once again the very same devices that zionists have used to shut down debate, are used by anti-zionists to shut down debate.
Perhaps the removal of that text means that a debate has opened up?
I'm not going to hold my breath.
I was looking at the Glasgow Caledonian University Palestine Society attack on Ken which followed the Metropolitan University meeting in February.
They actually linked to a youtube video posted by a blatant zionist who uses the nick 'habibi1655′ – check out his other videos – in one the description reads:
Sarah Colborne of the self-styled Palestine Solidarity Campaign chants with the racist and Hamas supporter Carole Swords at the Ahava store in London.
and another is entitled Labour MP Corbyn hails hate preacher Raed Salah – its getting blatant when the anti-zionist censors use zionist resources to enforce the censorship.
Thanks for posting this, Roy, especially the Safe Spaces Policy, which is badly written, which is why you may have misunderstood why Ken had to be removed.
This is how I would rewrite for them, preserving their intent but expressing it with far more clarity:
NOT (their verbatim text)
" Palestine Place will not be dogmatic nor perscriptive about attitudes, opinions, or beliefs within the space that relate to the political debate around Palestine.
However, Palestine Place is an anti Zionist and anti racist space. Expressions of oppressive beliefs, dogmas, and/or politics relating to either the subjugation of the Palestinian people or of an anti semetic nature will not be tolerated and may result in a person being asked to leave."BUT
" Palestine Place will not be dogmatic nor perscriptive about attitudes, opinions, or beliefs within the space that relate to the political debate around Palestine, except those we consider oppressive and anti semetic nature.
Please note that the term 'perscriptive" is not a typo; we have adopted it to distinguish it from "prescriptive" which is a positive term.
Please also note that "anti-semetic is not a typo either; it is a term we have adopted to distinguish it from the term "anti-semitic" which has been ridiculed lately by those with oppressive beliefs.NOT:
"We ask everyone to be aware of their personal privileges (such as being white, male, middle class etc) and to act against them."BUT
"We ask everyone to be aware and regretful of their personal privileges (such as being white, male, middle class etc) and to act against them, in whatever way that is not oppressive. For example, in view of our acceptance and tolerance of sexual preferences and transgender issues, it is acceptable for white males to participate in blackface and cross-dressed. The status of middle class remains to be clarified after a decision of income ceiling is reached."So the problem was that Ken showed up as white male and expressed oppressive beliefs.
"British Palestine Solidarity outfit 'Palestine Place' provides a platform for anti-Syrian speakers,"
that's all i need to know. they work for jewish zionist masters.
The zionists certainly approve:
I always know its a good lead if RingmanFrank trolls one. I remember RingManFrank when he just a default icon.
Who-me please don't make that conclusion. Palestinians are Sunni Muslims which explains their position better than anything else.
Laura, your suggestion that Palestinians are somehow sectarian-minded bigots is ignorant in the extreme. I wonder if you've ever set foot in Palestine.
I don't think the problem is that perhaps she has never set foot in Palestine. If that were true there would not be lots and lots of people who have not visited Palestine either but who find her views on this issue odd, to say the least.
Laura, is it possible by any chance that the observer (you) attributes the bias observed (the anti-Syrian platform of the Palestinian Solidarity) to religion because of the observer's personal religious optics?
Or do you believe that the views expressed by Palestinians in this outfit are representative of Palestinians in general: anti-white (Barghouti), anti-Syrian, etc and the fact that they are Sunni "explains their position better than anything else"? -
Laura Stuart
"Who-me please don't make that conclusion. Palestinians are Sunni Muslims which explains their position better than anything else.?"
palestinians that support the israeli/zionist terrorism against syria are helping israel. one can play games and pretend the terrorism these mercs and quislings are doing is something else, but that doesn't change the reality. what kind of palestinian would help israel and betray the palestinian cause?
I first came across the idea of 'safe spaces' during the attempts to oust long-standing anti-Zio anti-war activist Tim from a co-op in Portland, Oregon – http://tinyurl.com/dxjxu5b
Further research found its origins in the seventies anti-war left. It used feminism, black & gay activism etc. to divide and defeat the movement. Its promoters were either Stalinist control-freaks or FBI agents. It worked because white guilt, male guilt etc. permeates the left. Otherwise, it would be laughed out of existence. The idea that gays etc. need special rights inside wholefood co-ops is ridiculous.
Zionists eventually found the idea and added Jews to the list of oppressed groups – http://tinyurl.com/bv8sfb6
I am glad you gave this link, Jay: http://tinyurl.com/dxjxu5b
I had missed it at he time. Highly informative.
One term in it you quote got my attention: "One individual in particular, a long-established co-op organizer in Portland, Oregon, and a defender of Palestinian rights, was accused of 'Holocaust denial' and 'anti-Jewish organizing'. "I have never seen "anti-jewish organizer" as an accusation before.
It is so inadvertently candid that it is comical.
Organizing against the Jews? The Palestinians?!? Perish the thought!
Individuals who hint at that must be rooted out of any pro-Palestinian movement.
Somebody watchful must have realized the gaffe and the term never gained open currency. Or did it? -
The Palestinian people recognise the right of the Syrian people to want to have a revolution like other nations to get rid of oppressive rulers is exactly what I am saying.
Martin your accusations are really not worth commenting on.
Do you have any evidence that it was Palestinians who organised the session at Palestine Place?
are you the AZZ's 5th columnist , or you are just a total ignoramus, who thinks that she knows something ,while in reality, she does not grasp anything from what is going on in the world??
Pick one. -
Adriana I wouldn't blame the Palestinians for hating white people at all since white people are what prevents any due process and allows Israel impunity not to forget the Balfour thing.
If you have the misfortune to be white and want to join the solidarity movement it probably helps if you are gay as the PSC is a testosterone free zone, you can see why Ken is a problem.
If I was Palestinian I would hate everyone even my own people (Abbas = collaborator) most especially the Arabs who let them down from the start and continue to do so and the whites who caused the whole mess and are complicite in its continuation. I suppose the Palestinians might have looked to the Arabs initially for help and found them useless, then looked to the West and found them no help either. The Palestinians in Gaza know they have only Allah to rely on.
Hasbi Allahu Wa Ne'mal Wakil!
"Allah is sufficient for me and is the best trustee of affairs."
Those (i.e. believers) unto whom the people (hypocrites) said, "Verily, the people (pagans) have gathered against you (a great army), therefore, fear them." But it (only) increased them in Faith, and they said: HasbunAllah wa Ni'mal Wakil":Allâh (Alone) is Sufficient for us, and He is the Best Disposer of affairs (for us)." (173) So they returned with Grace and Bounty from Allâh. No harm touched them; and they followed the good Pleasure of Allâh. And Allâh is the Owner of Great Bounty. (174) It is only Shaitân (Satan) that suggests to you the fear of his Auliyâ' [supporters and friends ,so fear them not, but fear Me, if you are (true) believers.
"If I was Palestinian I would hate everyone'
So believing in Allah makes you want to hate everybody??? -
Searching they have every right to even if they don't – but they might prefer not to be liberated when they find out that their PSC and BDS liberators are all gay.
Poor Palestinians they really are F*cked when you think about the reality of being oppressed by the State of Israel a.k.a. the worlds favourite gay destination or being liberated by gay marxist lefties – if the Palestianians find out about this they might give up.
You seem to have unwittingly bought into the zionist oft-repeated "why don't their Arab brothers help them?"
You make no distinction whatsoever between Arab nations and their leaders–USrael-propped regimes.You also gloss over Nasrallah's support for the Palestinians. He is a shia but he must not share your sectarian view about Palestinians.
"I wouldn't blame the Palestinians for hating white people at all….If I was Palestinian I would hate everyone."
Well, then it is a good thing you are not a Palestinian.
Believe me the Palestinians do wonder where the Arabs are, it was one of the things they kept saying when we entered Gaza a few weeks after Cast Lead.
Yes, of course the leaders – goes without saying.
I don't think anyone can deny the Palestinians the right to be angry.
f I was Palestinian I would hate everyone even my own people (Abbas = collaborator) most especially the Arabs who let them down from the start and continue to do so and the whites who caused the whole mess and are complicite in its continuation.
Hate is easy when you don't want to further in any analysis of the situation. It very easy to replace rational analysis with "hate". What Barghouti is doing is at best mindless or at worst playing to his pseudo-Left and left-Zionist benefactors and colleagues. He was address the ISO the same zio-left group that supported the overthrow of Qaddafi. The fact that Barghoutti was addressing these bullshit artisans is what should be question rather than "whiteness".
Who invented "whiteness" and "blackness" anyhow? The same folks who now occupy Palestine. However if Barghoutti made such as remark the ISO would certainly reject his presence.
This is why "hate" make no sense. It restricts thinking. Analysis makes every sense as it REVEAL who the phonies really are.
"PSC is a testosterone free zone, you can see why Ken is a problem."
It would not have occurred to me.
I would have thought that if Ken were the same advocate but gay, he would have been equally odious to them (presumably then, to you too).You seem to think that the gay agenda if the GOAL of PSM, instead of the MEANS.
You seem unable to accept that the zionist support of groups (gay, feminist, anti-white) is merely the implementation of the Divide and Rule strategy.
Splinter a movement you wish to subvert and control, make yourself the champion of each, suborn them, and get them to march under your ("anti-anti-semitism") banner as a collection of motley groups with unrelated individual agendas, not as a unified movement. From time to time shout "free Palestine" and you have a kosher PSM. -
'Splinter a movement you wish to subvert and control, make yourself the champion of each, suborn them, and get them to march under your ("anti-anti-semitism") banner as a collection of motley groups with unrelated individual agendas, not as a unified movement.

very good summary, Adriana. -
Thanks, searching.
One typo I just noticed. It should be:
"You seem to think that the gay agenda is the GOAL of PSM, instead of the MEANS. -
From a Zionist point of view it makes sense to recruit Goy Gays to their cause. The reason being is their victim complex gives them a sympathetic angle upon which to lever their points.
Ariadna the "problem" is the same both with Gilad and Ken – both are authoritarian and both are very definitely masculine or macho (both ex soldiers). You forget that men in the West have largely been castrated by marxist feminism so the two of them do not fit in to the subjugated excuse for men that we have here in the UK. If Ken and Gilad want to learn to fit in with the PSC they are going to have to submit to feminism or come out as gay.
Thanks, Laura. It takes a woman to tell us… . I wrote something much milder, and got barred from a pc lefty site for writing it: http://tinyurl.com/bv35ucz
You may cradle your cherished faith in the pivotal role of testosterone hatred in AZZ/PSM/zionism, Israel but I would bet any amount of money you and Jay would plunk down together on your side of the bet that:
–if I got a black woman and a gay man to go there and convincingly impersonate, respectively, a radical feminist and a gay activist, complete with personal testimonials of victimhood under white-male testosterone oppression and homophobia
–and once "credentialed" they would express strong anti-zionist/anti-Israel views
they would both be out on their ears in no time.Equally, if –by absurd hypothesis– Ken and Gilad would suddenly tear their hair out (shorter work for Gilad) and announced that once they were blind but now can see the luminous righteousness of the PSM/BDS/AZZ path, they would roll out the red carpet for them.
They would require them to perform public repentance but no castration would be in the program. -
Don't take my endorsement of Laura's views too seriously…
The problem here is that everyone takes their views very seriously.
And that makes for good debate.
Sure it does and everyone must feel so smug in their superior knowledge of how Palestinians should behave – feel and think.
It really doesn't change anything though.
Not only have the Palestinians the right of return they should have the right to be angry as well and many are. As one example how should they feel in Gaza about being charity dependent? How should they feel about the hordes who can enter Gaza pretty freely whilst taking them aid whilst at the same time the people are perfectly capable of working and sustaining themselves if they were not under siege or unable to move in and out freely? A look at Harrys place can show you umpteen photos of worthies who had their picture taken with a smiling Ismail Haniyeh (a very patient man)whilst visiting Gaza, so is there a Gaza tourism industry now – like a zoo where you can have your photo taken with the caged exhibits?
I am not really referring to Barghouti in particular when I say Palestinians have a right to be angry or hate whites I am perhaps referring more to the people of Gaza, although I don't deny all Palestinians that right. They do know that we can watch them being bombed on our tvs from the comfort of our sitting rooms, I wonder how that makes them feel – they must wonder what we are doing about it, will they feel that much better to know that a group of people are having an intellectual debate about it ? It doesn't exactly stop the bullets or the bombs does it. -
"Sure it does and everyone must feel so smug in their superior knowledge of how Palestinians should behave – feel and think."
So how smug do you feel Laura?
What is there to feel smug about Roy?
It was you who suggested that people with views must feel smug.
I don't – so I was wondering if perhaps you were projecting your own smugness
No Roy I feel only upset that the reality is that people are still being killed and under siege in Gaza whilst we only have so much hot air to contribute.
The fact that people who are capable of action instead of empty words are deleted from Facebook, kicked out of Palestine Place, kicked out of the P.S.C. and denounced by so called activists is very frustrating.
Okay – thanks = that makes your statement clearer.
I share your concerns
so for you any, guy who is heterosexual,not of a meager posture, ex-soldier , is outspoken , has a family and children has to be macho, authoritarian, masculine and … oh, you forgot to add , beats his wife and terrorises his children.
Why do you want to reduce the problems within PSC to being gay or not gay??
So you want to tell us that all people who are involved in the PSC are either gay or feminists,
( plus a couple marxists for diversity )??
I did not know that. -
Searching -Why are you adding to wife beating or child terrorising to the equation? I condone neither. I know both Ken and Gilad personally and they both have those attributes as I previously described – which I see as positive attributes by the way.
I also did not say everyone in the PSC/BDS is gay in fact Tony Greenstein is married and has children so don't be fooled by the fact that he lives in Brighton, is a slave to "Just for Men" and uses volumising hair products or the fact that he prefers to be filmed sitting on a pink sofa because they might be just tactics to ensure his acceptance into the movement.
"RT: Who is trying to divide Lebanon?
MC: I can ask you the same question. External forces seek to control Lebanon. They seek to divide and weaken all the countries surrounding Israel in order to ensure Israel's security.
RT: Based on the current situation in the region and the information we have, can we point the finger at somebody and say that they are interested in this scenario more than anybody else?
MC: I can put it this way: We have all heard this expression the Arab Spring, but who has seen the fruit of this spring? No one. Has Egypt elected its president? Or has the spring ended? Almost the same thing is happening in Tunisia and in Yemen. There's no fruit, there's just this expression, the Arab Spring.
I really think what we see today is an Israeli Spring. Who will pose a threat to Israel now? Palestinians die every day, and no one protests. Before, even if one Palestinian was killed, there was an outrage. Today, three Palestinians get killed, or ten, or twenty – and nobody says anything. There is not even talk about differences within the Palestinian movement."
"for a human being to have a corrupted heart means that they have succumbed to some major obstacle barring further progress on the path towards ethical universalism. there are many such obstacles. indoctrination with a sense of 'chosen-ness' is one of them.
similarly, there are many different social manifestations of such psychological 'blockage', ranging from narrow-minded criminality to the dangerous pseudo-idealism of political fanatics. all share a furtiveness of motivation, and a schizoid perception which easily sees others either as enemies or victims.
whilst, to achieve their aims they often must collaborate, this is not done in a joyful manner, with mutual love and dedication, but rather through naked relations of power, threats, money, blackmail, seduction, indoctrination, lies, stifling of dissent…all of which must be provided with a Cloak of Respectability, or, rather, with a whole wardrobe of cloaks so vast that it would have dwarfed Imelda Marcos' not uncopious collection of footwear."
Jorge Bernhardt-Shore, 'The Kleptocrats'
PS fine article, Martin.
"Harry's Plaice/Palestine Plaice – something a bit fishy? not at all, says Chief Rabbi. sayan/hasbara activism is, in reality, a remarkable fractal, working on many different scales simultaneously, with the ultimate, benign, objective of creating the Apocalypse by altering the 666th digit of Planck's constant (in binary) from a one to a zero, a process known technically as nilification." Serendipity Dorgstein, writing in the JC.
"sayan/hasbara activism is, in reality, a remarkable fractal, working on many different scales simultaneously"
Great description IMO. As such it does not require central control; it is reflexive, automatic and self-perpetuating.
"it is reflexive, automatic and self-perpetuating."
like the aids virus.
Or… in more benign terms, like a beehive (the Tribe).
No central commands are given or needed to make it work:
the workers, the soldiers, even the drones, all act instinctively to protect the hive, to feed the Queen (JP?) so she can thrive, to act in the furtherance of the beehive, which is their only world.
There is occasional buzzing in various tonalities and those recently decoded patterns of flight "dances" (hasbara?) that are either alarm signals when "enemies" are spotted, or road maps to newly discovered patches of flowers whose nectar can be sucked.
But in general the bees don't need to be told who they are, what to do or whom they serve.
Incidentally this elaborate description is mine but the metaphor as applied to the Jewish tribal behavior is not mine. I cannot recall for sure, but I think I read it in Shahak

WASHINGTON, D.C. (10/02/2013) - The federal government officially shut down midnight Tuesday, leaving hundreds of thousands of federal workers furloughed and most national services and tourism spots closed.
The Capitol was closed to tourists but kept open for members of Congress.
One congressman in particular kept his staff busy. Rep. Dan Kildee (D-MI) told Washington Bureau Chief Jacqueline Policastro that his staff is "essential" to his day-to-day operations. Today, Kildee said they proved extra helpful as his office was flooded with phone calls.
"Our call volume is up pretty significantly. A lot of our calls coming in are talking about the government shutdown, but a lot of them are from people calling looking for help," Kildee said. "The other agencies of government aren't available to them. But we are. So that's what our staff is here to do …to help the people of our district."
Kildee's busy office was a far cry from the emptiness seen throughout some of the rest of the Capitol buildings. Many committee rooms, a place where lawmakers usually debate issues and bills, were vacant. All hearings are postponed until further notice.
In addition, Smithsonian museums, the National Zoo, and monuments on the National Mall are all closed. This is just the impact of day one of the government shutdown. What happens next depends on a compromise between the battling House of Representatives and the Senate.

Last week, we focused on the office desk. This week, it is the office chair.
Statistics show an average office worker spends 50 to 90 per cent of working hours in a chair the reason behind the thrust being given to scientific studies of seating design.
It is essential that office seating is comfortable, appropriate to the task being undertaken and easy for the operator to adjust. The conventional view is people maintain a fixed posture for long periods. But when performing a range of activities, people tend to adopt different postures while seated and this is desirable, too.
Adjustable chairs
• A chair should be adjustable to the task and be easily adjusted from the seated position
• The seat should be height-adjustable, preferably using a gas lift
• The seat should have a curved front edge to minimise pressure on the underside of the thighs
• It should have a supportive backrest that is adjustable in height, angle and depth.
• The seat and backrest should be covered by a material that breathes.
The chair should have good stability. While the revolving chair should have a five-star base, the traditional four-legged one must have the legs at least as far apart as the width and depth of the seat above.
Readymade chairs are designed to fit 90-95 per cent of adults. People outside the average range of body measurements should be provided with seating tailored to their needs.
Seat height
Seat height should be set so that the thighs are approximately horizontal and the feet can rest comfortably on the floor. Chairs with adjustable seat heights (not very expensive) should allow adjustments between 15 and 20 inches.
Combine chair and desk adjustments to position the work at elbow height. It is important to note that the height of the work seat must be considered in conjunction with its work table.
The vertical distance from the top level of the seat to the tabletop should be between 11 and 12 inches to provide for proper elbow support when the arms are on the table. If the thighs are wedged between the chair and the under surface of the desk, or the knees bump into the front of the desk, either the desk is too low, the chair is too high, the desk top or keyboard are too thick or the user is too tall for the chair and desk. Request your interior designer to check the ergonomics.
Traditionally, offices go for low-height backrests for clerical staff, medium-height ones for senior officers and thrones for the bosses. If such chair hierarchy can be dispensed with, a scientific backrest that is 22 to 24 inches vertically above its point of contact with the seat is ideal for all.
A backrest that can be tilted backwards from 0 to 7 degrees is best. A tilt more than that is a no-no as it will raise the feet off the floor.
This will depend on whether the desk is at the required height once you have adjusted your chair to suit your needs. If the desk is too high and cannot be lowered, raise the chair height and use a footrest to raise the height of the floor by the same amount. Footrests should have height and be large enough to permit some movement while supporting the feet. But a footrest should not be so large that it clashes with the chair base.
These are optional. While they help decrease the forces on the shoulders and the back, they can also limit access to the desk. Those who perform a variety of tasks, move frequently to and from the chair or sit back to talk to visitors can go for armrests. However, avoid them if your work involves keying-in as the elbows may rest on the armrests and cause the shoulders to be raised into an unnatural posture.
There is a clear divide. While some workers insist on armrests, others avoid them as they prefer to rest forearms on the table in front. Anyway, remember it is preferable that the armrests be height adjustable.
Alternative seating
Some special forms of alternative seating are available these days to enable people to sit upright with the hips at an angle that is believed to reduce pressure on the lower back. These are usually chosen by personal preference, for example, by someone with lower back pain. Examples include the kneeling chair, the sit-stand chair or saddle chair, and the physio or sit ball chair.
Although healthy for the spine and back, there are limitations in using these chairs, such as fixedness of the seat angle, awkwardness in getting on and off the seat and low degree of flexibility in reaching, bending and twisting.
Also, there are no firm guidelines or design standards for such alternative chairs. So, go for these if you have a real bad back and do not sit for long periods.

Some of my oleanders have gold spots on the underside of the leaves?
My first reaction is the yellow oleander aphid which we have here. If you have good eyes for closeup viewing, you should have seen the little yellow bugs (aphids) clustered on the stems of new growth where it is still soft and succulent. But if you need bifocals, and you weren't wearing them, it could appear as yellow spots. Yellowing and scorch on oleander due to drought.
Oleander is not a low water use plant but is very drought tolerant, two very separate issues. The other possibility on the oleander is damage due to underwatering which will appear as yellowing and eventually browning. If that is the case just increase the watering. Oleander is not a low water use plant to look good. Although it is very drought tolerant it is a high water use plant and does very well under rather frequent deep irrigations much like any other nondesert shrub.

Business News of Friday, 11 September 2009
Source: GNA
Accra, Sept 11, GNA - The inflation rate dipped to 19.65 per cent in August as a result of lower food prices, the Ghana Statistical Service (GSS) said on Friday.
The figure represents a decline of 0.85 percentage points from the inflation rate of 20.50 per cent for July. Government Statistician, Dr Grace Bediako, said the rate of inflation for August was primarily driven by the non-food sub-sector. The non-food group registered an inflation of 23.91 per cent as against 14.75 per cent for the food group. "The fall in prices in the food category is helping to contain the overall inflation and has been responsible for the lowering of the rate," Dr Bediako said.
Trends from the past three years indicate that August, September and October are usually periods of declining inflation. "Unless something out of the ordinary happens, we can safely say the rates might go down further in September and October," Dr Bediako said.
As usual with the trend the rate is likely to go up in November and December because of high spending before and during the Christmas festivities. "Looking at the trend, there is no reason to suggest that rate will go down during the last two months of the year unless food prices hold out," she added.
Government is projecting an end of year inflation of 14.5 per cent but the Centre for Economic Policy Analysis (CEPA) is, however, forecasting 20.5 per cent inflation at the close of the year. Eastern Region registered the lowest inflation of 14.48 per cent while the Upper East and Upper West regions recorded the highest of 33.29 per cent. The urban and rural inflation for August 2009 was 22.37 per cent and 18.86 per cent respectively. 11 Sept. 09

Here's some snippets from the build.xml that builds Tomcat:
<target name="prepare"> <mkdir dir="${tomcat.build}"/> </target> <target name="main" depends="prepare"> <javac srcdir="src/share" destdir="${tomcat.build}/classes" classpath="${tomcat.build}/lib/xml.jar" debug="on"/> <rmic base="${tomcat.build}/classes" class="org.apache.tomcat.shell.AdminImpl"/> </target> <!-- and so on -->
The exciting thing is that each tag is just a class (ie Javac.java) and you can define your own tags by writing classes for Ant to load.
Besides being easier to use than "make", ant is also faster at compiling Java code: The compiler code is loaded within ant and can be used repeatedly.
Ant has recently become its own project with a separate workspace so you can use Ant whether or not you're interested in Tomcat. A manual is available in the distribution under the docs directory.

GFI reset
Hi All. First thing, is to check the Power Sorce, Period. Where you have your RV plugged in to. It may not even be your RV'S GFIC Box at all, but somewhere in the circuit that your at plugged ito. A friend paid over $400 dollars to have a so called Seniro Service M obile Tech come out to his house. He fiddled around for a while, and changed the RV;s GFCI Box, then changed him $400 dolllars for the time it toook him to drive =both ways, and for sure marked up the GFCI Box plenty. He left, it still didn;t work. I told my friend to unplug from that line and plug into some other line in the garage. "Hey" it worked perfectly. The first place he plugged into had a bad ground, so it keep poppong his GFCY Box. Everyone should check their "Main Electrail Box" for lose wires and bad grounds on there entire RV every couple of years. Its called "Proventive Maintence Programs". Its really pretty easy to keep from breaking down, or having problems if you take the time to take good care of your RV, not just when you have problems. Good Luck. Happy Travels.

I consider my Endless Breeze model to be of remarkably high quality and design. I just wanted to insert a real-life recent experience. It's nice to participate in a forum where folks do not have their head cross-threaded onto their neck! :) Hi All. We couldn't agree more with what you had to say. "The Fantastic Endless Breese Modle is by far one of the best fans out there. Prettty darn quit, and very easy on the Power U sage. Also a great help to help move the air around inside your RV, durning the Winter Time, or the Summer Time also. Good Luck. Happy Travels. Dan & Jill & "The Yorkie Kids"

Tech Issues
Water tank fell out.
Hi All. It realy is a shame when something so simple, can't be instlled properly. Its just not in the RV Markets, it everywhere. Simpled fact is that you just can't fix "Stupid People", Period And what ever happened to "Qualitry Control Inspedctions", before a product left the essembly line. Prices continue to keep rising every year, and so does the lack of "Good Quality Control Isues". What does help a lot is having a "Good Proventive Maintence Progam, your self every year. on everything thats in or on your RV's. Good Luck. Happy Travels. Dan & Jill & The Yorkie Kids

Cost for 4 corner weighing ?
Hi All. "Hight" isn't the word for it, its just pain a "Rip-Off". I think I would never do any business with this company no matter what they had and I needed. The place I use, I can get it weighted anyway we want it to be weighed, and for as long as it takes. And we also get a "Real California DMV Certified Weight Scales Report, and for only $10 Dollars. Find another palce tghat has reasonable prices. Good Luck. Happy Travels. Dan & Jill & Yorkie Kids

Class A Motorhomes
Hi All. For us it wasn't a very hard choice for us to make. We bought the TST #507, with the changeable Battries. We als had a Duran Monitoring System before, didn't care much for that one at all. That nice Gent at TST gave us a 20 % Discount for buying his TST #507, amd ,mailing the old Duran Sensors tpo him, as proof. Plus he added an extra year on our Warrantry, instead of a two year, he gave us a three year. Great people to deal with, and willhelp you until youu gdet your TST installed properly. Seens a few other RV'ers in the past had some issues with installing them. We sure didn't hhave any issues. If we had it to do all over again, it would be with another TST #507, with the Changeable Battries. It doesn't get much simpler than this one does. Good Luck. Happy Travels. Dan & Jill & our Yorkie Kids.

We have a Pair of Honda EU2000is', Paralla Kit and Extended Run Tank. If your Yahams runs anything like the Twined Hondea's EU2000is do, you willl be one very Happy RV"er. Its great to have the opetion to run only one Generator to Recharge your Battery Bank, and still have power left over to runs some lights and TV and a few other small draw items. With our twin Honda's, I easily ran our 13,500 BTU TT A/C, and the Frideg and the Microwave, all at the same time, and still have some power left over. We sure are glade we keep our Twind Honda EU2000I;s. Paralla Kit, and Extended Run Tan when we sold our 5er. With our Motornhomes built-in 5.5 G Generator plus the Twin Honda's, we can easily go past our Motorhomes 30 AMP limit anytine we feel like it. Its nice to have all the "Generator Power", that you would really ever need with us. But at the same time, its one thing for sure that we will never have to worry about, "Not Having Enought Generator Power" and then some. They are also easy to move around and very easy to even store. Good Luck. Happy Travels. Dan & Jill & our Yorkie Kids

Tech Issues
Aerbus Roof Leak
Hi All. Well, I think most of your problems is "Yourself". And most of that is becasue of you being a "Newbie RV'er". I have done all of my own "Work", and "Repairs" and "Mods" on every RV we have ever owned in the past 45+ years as RV'ers. This is not just a Rexhall issues, its all RV's Period. The A/C Gaskets are very well known to have to be checked from time to time. As all that Viberations, Shakking and Rattleing and going down the Hiways of this country sure does losen up a lot of things on an RV's if you don't stay on top of it. Its called "Proventive Maintance Programs". I don't concider it work to be working on the Motorhome when ever we are not using it. I am a "Real Nut Case", when it comes to "Provemntive Maintance Programs", Period. We also have a 19997 Rexhall, and we haven't had one issue since we bought ours some years ago. But then again, I do all of my own work and repairs. I have never taken our Motorhome to any RV Shop, period. When we did our Motorhme search, we decided that we wanted only a Rexhall, Period. They are a pretty darn good montorhome to statr wwiht. They are also still in business if you have to ask for any information about your Motorhome. We also like the all the "Steel Frame" on Rexhalls wallls. We have never Broken down or have ever had a leak of any kind, in any RV we have ever ownerd, now and in the past. We wouldn't trade our Rexhall Motorhome for any other brand of Motorhome out there. We even did an "Inside Make-Over" on the inside of our motorhome. so now its the way we wanted it to look now. We really liked the Layout and Floor-Plan of our Rexhall Motorhome. But we didn't care for some of the "Colors", or for some of the "Furinture" it had in it that the manufactor used in our Motorhome. So we replaced all of the old cruddy OEM Flooring and some of the OEM Furniture also. And we also got red of all of the OEM Window Treatments too. Instead we used "Real Household Curtains", and while we were at it, we put the very Dark Limo Tinttiing on all of the Windows that were allowed. This Rehall Motorhome will more than out last us and then some. Our Rexhall Motorhoe is a pleasure to ride in and to drive very esaily with just one hand. We don't have to worry about "Semis passing us", and in most case "Cross Winds, unless they are extream. And on top of it, we bought or Rexhall Motorhome, for a "Once in a Life-Time Buy. Good Luck. Happy Travels. Dan & Jill & our Yourkie Kids

Is there a problem with electric Heater VS. Propane?
Hi All. They bothe each have their own uses. EWe motly do all Boon-Docking, in the past 45+ years. We are very well set-up to be off the Grid. The only thing that we don't feel a need for is "Soalr Panels", do to the kind of areas that we Boon-Dock in, and where we spend most of or time at. Even "Protable Solar Panels" isn't for us. One thing, is neither of us like the direct sun. As we both burn like Lobsterss and have had our share of Skin Cancers, and Surgies. As a matter of fact, we have 4 ea Ceramic Heaters, of different out-puts. Some as low as 100 watts to the normal 1500 Watts, with lower setting in them as well. We also have a Mr Heater "Buddy" and a Mr Heater "Big Buddy" and an Oly Wave #6 Propane Heaters. And if you notice our Signature, we can even easily go past our Motorhomes 30 AMP Limits anytime we wish to. As we have more than enough "Generator Power" and then some. We rearly use the Motorhomes Furnace, since it is really hard on a Battery Bank and eats Propame like there is no tomorrow. It may not be for everybody, but it sure has worked out good for us. Even keeping the Storage Compartments warm, espaically the Wet bay, really isn't an issue for us either. And we can keep the inside of our Motorhome just about as warm as we want it to be. To each thier own. Both have their uses. Some of the best Boon-Docking is in the winter time. We use our Motorhome on/off all year long. Good Luck. Happy Travels. Dan & Jill

12 volt coffee makers is the any good reason to own one?
Hi All. Nope, not for any reason at all to own a 12 volt Coffee Pot, ever. We have been RV'ers now for over 45+ years. We have aalwasy had a 120 Volt Drip Coffee Maker, but have hardley ever used it. Now on the othe rhaad, we still have our Favorite Coffee Drip Pot of aall times, a "Coleman Drip Coffee Pot". We have almost always have been Boondockers anyways. Even at home, or out and about, we never, ever drink any of that Flavored Coffee for any of those places that sells it. Don't think we are about to change anytime time soon. Good Luck. Happy Tavels.

steer safe
Hi All. Are you sure you have everything lined up correctly on your "Steer-Safe", Joe, I don't mean you any disrespect, but there have been a couple of times here on this Fourm, that the installer (Owner) really didn't do the install correctly. I did our install of our "Steer-Safe", and its the differance betweeen night and day. As soon as I finished, I took it straight down and have the Front End Aligment done correctly. Also, I know that we don't have any Front End Parts, that are worn or lose. We even just had all new tires installed also. I also replaced the OEM "Steering Stabilizer Shock", and all the rest of the OEM Shocks while I was at it. Our Motorhome is now a pleasure to drive, and no more worries about "Wondering" or "Passing Semis". Ours Steers and Handles very easily with just one hand now. That alone sure make for a much more comfortable drive and ride. I also have the "5000lb Air-Lift", Air Bags on all four corners. Something just doesn't sound right on your Steer-Safe Install, or maybe you have other issues with your front end, or something else that your not aware of. I agree, that I don't think that "Longer Eye Bolts" is going to do anything for you, as longer would add to your problems. Hope you find your problem as soon as you can. That "Steer-Safe" really is a good prouduct. Are you sure you have the Correct "Steer-Safe" Set, ? Good Luck. Happy Travels. Dan & Jill

Better Than Wood Blocks!
Hi All. We are Happy for you, and that you are Happy about the prices you paid for the "Plastic Blocks". We still much prefer the "Free Blocks" that we have always been using for the past 45+ years as RV'ers. Anytime any one of them needs relacing, there still the same "Free Cost" as always. We find that the Free Wood Blocks last for a very long time. And the really don't take up hardly any more room, and I can replace them from almost any where that we travel and are building something. Its not that we are cheap, but have buetter use for our money. But good Luck to you. Good Luck. Happy Travels. Dan & Jill

Dash heater
Hi Earl. If you still haven't found your problem as yet, why don't you give "Rexhall Industries" a call, as they are still building Motorhomes. They just moved, so I don't have thier new phone number as yet. But a quick search should get you thier number. They are great to work with and very friendly. They just might nbe able to fix yoo up with an "Electrail Copy" of your year Rexhall's Motorhome. On our year Rexhall Motorhome, there is only "two screws", one on each side, under the Dash. You will need a Flashlight to find them. Once you remove the screws, you will be able to lift your Dash by quite a bit. It sure does make doing anything under the Dash much easier. Good Luck. Happy Travels. Dan & Jill

VuQube ladder mount
Hi All. So far, we haven't found a need yet to mount our VUQube. We have a Rear Ladder on the rear of our Motorhome. It also has the so called Stroage Rack on the Roof that goes around the end of the Motorhome. All I have to do is fasten down the VuQube to three sides of the Roof Rack. Trust me, Our VuQube isn't going anywhere. As long as it stays dry I just leave it up on the roof while traveling. If it shhoould be a rainy day in the camp site, I just put a "Plastic Bag" over it. We have been using it this way for about three years now with no problems. I added a "Water Tight" Cable Box Connector (Sort or just like ones for Electrail, but is only aboujt one inch thick) to the outside of the Motorhome, high up on the wall, as it goes right into our rear Bedroom Cloaset, right where the Bedroom TV is. This way, not a lot off cables running all over the place for some to trip on or for kids to play with. Works out great for our needs. Good Luck. Happy Travels. Dan & Jill

Dometic digital thermostat
I just have a preference to everthing running off 12v. I realize if you change batteries once a year all is fine. The add-on fan switch also is just not my style. BTW the Dometic has an automatic fan speed setting. Nothing wrong with the lower cost thermostat. It may even have more features like programability to set back temps based on time. I did have a delay on the blower fan start to let the compressor start by itself on a marginal generator. That feature is now gone but I have found I really will not be using a generator to run the air for extended periods. At that point we are looking for hookups. The price did not bother me a bit. Same as if the fridge control board went out I would not opt for a lower priced board if it relied on batteries. Reminds me it is time to change batteries in the smoke detector and CO detector :R Why can't those be 12v connected? I also found the existing freeze sensor in a bad spot. The new sensor seems better IMO and I have had an issue a few times. Anyway it is just another option if considering a change. Hi All. So, What is stopping you from doing just that ?. Our Motorhome has everything hard wired to the 12 Volt System. I went out and bought all new "Batery Operatd Units", We have Double of everything now, except for the "Smoke Detectors", we have if I remember correctly about 7 Smoke Alarms. As fast as an RV Burns to the ground, its nice to have a few extra "Smoke Alarms". They do give you a bit more notice if there is a fire inside of our Motorhome. Works out for us anyways. Good Luck. Happy Travels. Dan & Jill

Hi All. Want "Better Brakes, Braking, Period". Then take it out of Over-Drive when better Braking is needed. There is very little Compresson when in OD.

Sometimes you just gotta wonder
110 volt power monitor We keep one of these plugged into a kitchen outlet and check every time when we hook up. If it's way down in the red zone we won't run air conditioning. Low voltage can destroy your air conditioner. Hi All. We keep this exact same Voltage Meter Plugged in right above our Dinning Table, so we can see it from just about anywhere in our Motorhome. We used this same Voltage Meter for about 7 years in our 5er before the Motorhome. Our Motorhome is onaly a 30 AMP'er anyways, but it sure does make it pretty simple to keep an eye on the incomming Power. For those of you that don't know it, this Voltage Meter, is Adjustable, and makes life pretty simple. So all in all, we have been using this Voltage Meter for about 12 years now. Good Luck.

LED Light Conversion
To answer the OPs QUESTION the brand is Chinese this vendor Is reliable cheap and I have used them 3 times to replace all of my lights with success Try a few see how you like them then order more if they are what you want The 36 panel ones seem to give the best light and are cool and use very little power. Hi All. We have usd this Same E-Bay Seller for the past several years now, and have not had a singa problem. We replaced every OEM Light Bulb, in our Motorhome with his 36 LED Lite-Boards, with several different conections. Ours used the Standard 1141 Bases. That includes all of our "Bottom Storage Compartments", also. You just can't beat then for Boon-Docking. Trust us, your Battery Bank will really thank you. LED Lite-Bulbls will really extend your Boon-Docking times. Add a couple of Very Low Wattage LED TV's, and you won't have to run your Generator very often. Good Luck. Happy Travels. Dan & Jill

Preparing for your appointment
By Mayo Clinic staffYou're likely to start by first seeing your family doctor. However, in some cases when you call to set up an appointment, you may be referred immediately to a neurologist — a doctor who specializes in nervous system disorders, including diseases of the brain, spinal cord, nerves and muscles.
Because appointments can be brief, and because there's often a lot of ground to cover, it's a good idea to be well prepared for your appointment. Here's some information to help you get ready for your appointment, and what to expect from your doctor.
What you can do
- Be aware of any pre-appointment restrictions. At the time you make the appointment, ask if there's anything you need to do in advance, such as restrict your diet.
- Write down any symptoms you're experiencing, including any that may seem unrelated to the reason for which you scheduled the appointment.
- Write down key personal information, including any major stresses, recent life changes, family history of syringomyelia and any past spinal or back surgeries or injuries you've had.
- Make a list of all medications that you're taking, as well as any vitamins or supplements.
- Take along any related medical information. If you have past medical reports, MRI scans or CT scans that might relate to your current problem, bring them to your appointment.
- Take a family member or friend along, if possible. Sometimes it can be difficult to soak up all the information provided to you during an appointment. Someone who accompanies you may remember something that you missed or forgot.
- Write down questions to ask your doctor.
Your time with your doctor is limited, so preparing a list of questions will help you make the most of your time together. List your questions from most important to least important in case time runs out. For syringomyelia some basic questions to ask your doctor include:
- What is likely causing my symptoms or condition?
- Are there other possible causes for my symptoms or condition?
- Is there a possibility my symptoms will get better on their own?
- What kinds of tests do I need?
- Is my condition likely temporary or chronic?
- Is my condition related to my diet or environment?
- What is the best course of action?
- What are the alternatives to the primary approach that you're suggesting?
- Can exercise help?
- I have other health conditions. How can I best manage them together?
- Are there any restrictions that I need to follow?
- Should I see a specialist?
- Are there any brochures or other printed material that I can take home with me? What websites do you recommend?
In addition to the questions that you've prepared to ask your doctor, don't hesitate to ask questions that arise during your appointment.
What to expect from your doctor
Your doctor is likely to ask you a number of questions. Being ready to answer them may reserve time to go over any points you want to spend more time on. Be as specific as you can when answering. Your doctor may ask:
- When did you first begin experiencing these symptoms?
- Have your symptoms been continuous or occasional?
- How severe are your symptoms?
- What, if anything, seems to improve your symptoms?
- What, if anything, appears to worsen your symptoms?
What you can do in the meantime
Avoid doing anything that seems to worsen your symptoms. For many people with syringomyelia, straining can trigger symptoms, so try to avoid activities that involve heavy lifting or straining. Also, avoid sharply flexing your neck.

In the West, generous monsoon rains continue to ease drought but cause local flash flooding in the Four Corners States. In contrast, hot, dry weather prevails in northern California, where several new wildfires are burning. Hot, dry conditions also cover the Northwest, where Washington led the nation with 20% of its intended winter wheat acreage planted by September 8.
On the Plains, very warm, mostly dry weather prevails, except for a few showers in Nebraska and South Dakota. By September 8, winter wheat planting was underway in all of the Plains' major production states, with progress ranging from 2 to 13% complete. However, soil moisture shortages remain a concern in several areas, including the central and southern High Plains.
In the Corn Belt, a few showers stretch from the upper Great Lakes region into Nebraska. However, most of the Midwest continues to experience unfavorably hot, dry weather. In Iowa, Missouri, North Dakota, and Wisconsin, 20 to 30% of both the corn and soybeans were rated in very poor to poor condition on September 8.
In the South, isolated showers are confined to southern Florida and the western Gulf Coast region. Elsewhere, very warm, mostly dry weather is promoting summer crop maturation and harvesting. Dry weather remains favorable in the previously waterlogged Southeast, where cotton bolls were 13 to 35% open on September 8.
Outlook: A late-season heat wave will continue through mid-week across the Midwest. During the second half of the week, markedly cooler air will arrive in most areas east of the Rockies—although heat will linger across the Deep South. Hot conditions will also persist in northern California, the northern High Plains, and the Northwest. Meanwhile, a late-season monsoon surge will maintain the threat of flooding in the Southwest, particularly in the southern Rockies. Heavy rain will also spill onto the central High Plains. Five-day rainfall totals could reach 2 to 5 inches in the central and southern Rockies and the central High Plains, while 1- to 3-inch amounts may occur in the Northeast and southern sections of Florida and Texas. Only light showers will occur, however, in the Midwest. The NWS 6- to 10-day outlook for September 15-19 calls for near- to above-normal temperatures and rainfall across the majority of the nation. In fact, cooler- and drier-than-normal conditions will be limited to the Northeast.
Weather report: Very warm and mostly dry on the Plains
