Q. What do you remember as your first inkling to begin producing electronic music?
A. My mum had an album called "Go Moog!" by Electrik Cokernut and it was a series of pop hits from the day [1972] performed on a modular Moog synthesiser. The other-worldy sounds and cover shot of a coconut with a patchbay and keyboard convinced me that electronic music was the way forward.
Q. How have you seen the dub scene develop in recent years? What influence has that had on your music in particular?
A. I wasn't aware there was a 'dub scene' and if there is I'm almost certainly not part of it. Not being part of any scene is the single biggest influence on what I do.
Q. If you weren't making music, what would you see yourself doing?
A. Writing, probably. And hassling for spare change at bus stations.
Q. Do you ever feel yourself struggling to stay motivated on tour? How do you persevere?
A. The endless treadmill of airport, aeroplane, taxi, hotel, taxi. airport, aeroplane, taxi, hotel can sap my will to live, but the 90 minutes I get to make a racket each night easily makes up for it. No matter how grim the airport layover, or how dismal the anonymous chain hotel beside a freeway in Arkansas, I never fail to feel rejuvenated by the spirit of the party.
Q. What's your spirit animal?
A. The Boll Weevil.

Domino's adds 33 additional school districts in 14 states to program for new school year
ANN ARBOR, Mich., Sept. 18, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Domino's Pizza (NYSE: DPZ) is starting this school year with excitement, highlighted by the recognized world leader in pizza delivery's continued growth of its Domino's Smart Slice school lunch program. The program, which meets the recently updated USDA school lunch nutrition standards, added 45 percent more schools to the roster compared to last school year, and is available in 33 new districts within 14 states: Arkansas, Arizona, California, Florida, Idaho, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Michigan, New Mexico, Ohio, Oregon, Texas and Utah.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20120814/DE55948LOGO-b )
"Domino's Smart Slice is a program we are very proud of, and we are thrilled to continue expanding the program to more and more schools every year," said Patrick Doyle, Domino's Pizza president and chief executive officer. "The pizzas offered in the program not only follow USDA school lunch nutrition standards, but they're a product that students really enjoy."
All pizzas in the program are made to order and each recipe is entirely customizable. This year, Domino's has added the Hawaiian Hot Lava pizza to the "Honor Roll" of flavor-packed pizzas, which also includes Bellroni, BBQ Smokehouse, Cheezzilla, Pacific Coast Veggie and Kick'n Chicken. The new Hawaiian Hot Lava features sliced ham, smoked bacon, pineapple, hot sauce, jalapenos, and lite mozzarella.
The Domino's Smart Slice program offers pizzas that meet USDA school lunch nutrition standards, which include requirements for calories, fat and sodium. Freshly baked and delivered to schools, Domino's Smart Slice utilizes nutritious ingredients like lite mozzarella cheese, white whole-wheat crust, as well as reduced fat and sodium sauce and pepperoni. Whole-grain varieties feature up to four grams of fiber and 24 grams of whole grains. Every Domino's Smart Slice pizza serves as an excellent source of calcium.

Dear lame lesbian bars,
You know who you are. You call yourself something platonic like "Sisters" or "Buddies" or *shudders* "Best Friends". You play soft acoustic female rock and that one Katy Perry song- exclusively! Or worse, you have live musicians covering Melissa Etheridge and aforementioned awful pop song. You never have a f#$king orange slice for my whisky because you don't serve any import beer. Your bartenders are old enough to be my grandmother and not in the Sophia-Loren-is-old-enough-to-be-my-grandmother-but-I-would-still-do-her kind of way. You always have a pool table or dart board directly in front of something essential, like the bathroom or the bar. And do you hire young sporty women with popped collars to storm off from large groups in 30 minute intervals? Or does this happen organically because you only serve domestic beer? What about the women who chase after them? Are their polo shirts and baseball caps part of the company uniform? Continue reading

All, is there a specific technique for kicking through baseball bats and what's the best way to practice/condition the legs so you can do it?
Also what's the best kind of bat to use?
I was also thinking about getting a a 1 x 2 plank to kick through instead!
I have a demo to do in May and was thinking of items to fill my slot with, hopefully getting some new students at the same time

I have the problem that i always meet the wrong people.
Most of the people i know on the one hand don't want to be self employed or on the other hand want to found a business but are to optimistic about it and think that they will be the next google by spending some hours a week on a project. Where and how can i find the right people for cofounding a software company?
From time to time some people come to me and ask for a business partnership. I tried this but the partnership was only valuable for them and not for me. They didn't pay me as declared or only wanted to get some of my knowledge for free.
Are there any key identifiers how i can rate a potential business partner? What is to avoid from the beginning?
My expirience till now is that you should not do any work in advance. Do only work if you see that your partner does something for you. The problem about this is that two partners can block themselves.

Could be much betterPros: Nice looking and compact. The keys have a nice feel, but the keys are too close to each other (horizontally and vertically) to type comfortably. However, it is better than the dead keyboard it replaced. Cons: A little larger than my laptop's keyboard but the layout will take a lot of getting use to. Other Thoughts: Although wired keyboards make sense for me, I prefer small wireless mice. One of this keyboard's two USB ports hosts the mouse transceiver. 0 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
Why so small?Pros: It has very very quiet keys! it is thin and has 2 usb ports in the back which is nice to plug a mouse into and jump drives. Cons: Why is the backspace key SO SMALL? Maybe it is just me, but it is one of my most used keys, and it is only one key size, not two like most keyboards. 1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
Decent KeyboardPros: It's a very nice looking keyboard and it's very thin. I really like the side buttons for volume and various other adjustments. There are two USB ports on the back which is very convenient. Cons: It seems to be a bit cramped. The backspace key is only a single size key as opposed to the normal, double wide backspace key. I'm sure this will just take some getting used to but as of now, it is rather annoying. Other Thoughts: Overall, I thought this was an alright keyboard that's reasonably priced. 3 out of 3 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
Very NicePros: Great keyboard. Looks nice, very quiet. Built in USB ports and media card reader work great and are very handy. Cons: none Other Thoughts: I would buy it again. 2 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? |

This is my non-sponsored, nothing really specific, log. I'm not exactly sure what my immediate goal is; I suppose it's a slow fat loss without losing gains, but I haven't stuck to any specific diet in the last few weeks. Right now I've been at 2400-2800 calories/day, and my macros have been 30-35p/40-45c/20-25f. During training days, that is. Weekends I stay at around 2500 but don't count macros.
I am 1.5 weeks in of trying to stay at high volume. My goal is 20-ish reps per set, but I haven't gotten used to the weight I need for that yet. I'm enjoying the pump and the DOMs. Oh, the DOMs!
I'm thinking 4 total weeks of high volume, 2 weeks at a 5 rep max, 2 weeks at a 3 rep max, a week or two at 8-12 reps, then a deload. Maybe...
My supplements right now are:
FinaFlex Max Pump (2 w left?)
Versa -1 (I am on day two of my first run. I saw a post wondering what it actually does, and since no one there knew I figured now would be a good time to find out myself)
Modern BCAA's (x5g pre)
Creatine Mono (NP; 2.5-3g)
Gameday PWO by MAN (1-2 w left)
Well, that's about all I've got! I'll adjust supps as I change them.

The three were rescued Monday night after being held captive for ten years.
In 2003, Utah and the nation was shocked when she was found alive.
For nine months she was held captive by Brian David Mitchell and his wife.
Since then, Smart has turned the page, championing children's rights.
Appearing on Good Morning America, she told a national audience that she can somewhat understand what these three women are going through.
"All I can think of is joy, relief, happiness, gratitude," she says. "But at the same time I think it's so important to respect their privacy to try and help give them every chance they can in their own way to find a pathway, back to some sense of well being."
The three young Cleveland women were held captive for a decade. Smart understands why some may ask why didn't they escape.
At a symposium last week at Johns Hopkins University, she says the repeated rapes made her feel filthy, like a used piece of chewing gum.
"I felt like I'm that chewed up piece of gum," she says. "Nobody re-chews a piece of gum. You throw it away and that's how you feel. You no longer have worth. You no longer have value."
She says the Cleveland woman need to erase the past and move forward.
"He's stolen so much from them already," she told the national audience. "They deserve to be happy. I would tell them I would hope they realize there is so much ahead of them. That they don't need to hold onto the past."

Crimson Trace Laser Grips were designed with self defense in mind. Under duress, even skilled shooters will have a diminished capacity for accuracy, which makes them less effective at protecting themselves, and may cause them to be more dangerous to innocent bystanders. Take the guess work out of your shooting by adding a laser sight by Crimson Trace to your pistol, revolver or long gun! You need every advantage over an attacker. As many crimes happen at night, those carrying a pistol for self defense are forced to shoot in low light conditions. It can be very difficult to accurately aim a pistol in such situations. The added accuracy, higher target acquisition speed and extreme ease of use from a laser sight will keep you firing on target. Crimson Trace Laser Grips are on sale and we offer free shipping with each order over $29.95. If you have any questions about which laser sight will fit your firearm be sure to get in contact with us and one of our product specialists will ensure you select the right item.
Crimson Trace Lasers are easy to install. In most cases the gun owner can use a screwdriver and quickly add the sight to their side arm. While a laser sight certainly improves your performance, it also adds to your intimidation factor, making would be attackers think twice before messing with you. It's one thing to have someone point a gun in your general direction. It's a whole other thing to see a red dot in the middle of your chest, right where the shot will go. Crimson Trace Laser Grips are super easy to use - many models have a simple pressure switch on the handle, so that when you hold the gun the laser turns on, but if it's holstered the laser turns off to prolong battery life.

Have you heard of Noa Tishby? If not- now is the time to memorize that name. Tishby is a household name in Israel, and also maintains an impressive acting career in the United States. In fact, I believe she is the most appreciated by Israelis than all her Israelis- in- Hollywood peers. What makes her so special is not her many roles in television (Charmed, Nip/Tuck, Las Vegas, Big Love, NCIS, CSI:Miami and more), or her roles in film (The Island, Connecting Dots, The Ghost of Girlfriends Past…) What really make her the greatest is her pro-Israel activism. Tishby is an advocate of Israel, and she is not afraid to leverage her status in Hollywood to speak for Israel in every opportunity. Tishby is a member of AIPAC (the American Israel Public Affairs Committee) and has traveled to Washington, D.C. to lobby on Capitol Hill. She is also a member of The Israeli Consulate Speakers Bureau and the ILC (Israeli Leadership Council). She is also co-Founder of the digital activist group: Act for Israel. Moreover, Noa was on The Jerusalem Post list of the 50 most influential Jews in the world alongside Benjamin Netanyahu, Natalie Portman and Mark Zuckerberg.
Her activism is not something to be taken for granted. Many Israelis abroad are afraid to put their nationality on display, because of the not-so-pro-Israeli public opinion, but Tishby really puts her country first, which really makes her an Israeli pride.

Last week, we all witnessed what is called: Media War. The media war in unannounced and it doesn't end with a truce- it is an ongoing battle with social networks and websites as the battlefield. It occurs when two sides of a conflict of sort compete for the public's attention through the various media. During Operation Pillar of Defense, the Media War was very noticeable, and many of us took part in it, trying to expose Hamas' lies and supporting Israel. But it did not start last week. It is an ongoing process in which, so far, Israel is on the losing side…
I remember hearing about the Gaza war (also known as Operation Cast Lead) for the first time: It was December 2008, and I was on a vacation in London. While riding the train, observing the passengers and playing the common game of trying to guess their story, I noticed an old man reading the daily newspaper. It was folded, so I was able to read one of the articles. The title said "IDF in bombing in Gaza." There was a dramatic photo of a Palestine woman crying, kneeling and raising her bloody hands towards a ray of light; a dead body of a child was lying beneath her. Next to the picture, there was a quote by the mayor of Sderot, a city in Israel that is constantly under the attack of missiles, which said, "I'm proud to be an Israeli." I couldn't stop thinking about what I had just read. It looked bad. It made the IDF and the Israeli people seem like despicable murderers.I couldn't believe the vicious act I had just read about. I started thinking about other people, non-Israeli people. It only made sense that their first reaction to this article would be to feel sorry for the poor woman, and to condemn the mayor of Sderot. In the next few days, this described attack was the center of public discourse
Having been born and raised in Israel, I had constantly been protected by soldiers. Throughout my childhood, I admired the IDF. After serving in the IDF I can say from firsthand experience that the army does not attack without purpose- they are the Israeli Defense Force. Unfortunately, the media oftentimes provides a skewed perspective and portrays the IDF as aggressors. While I myself was aware that there was surely much more to this attack than what the news reported, I kept in mind that the average British citizen knows only what he hears and reads. I can't begin to explain the despair we feel every time we watch the international news. It hurts to know that some people receive only partial information.
Our hands are tied when in comes to the greatest war of all: the media war. Our army may be one of the strongest, most powerful armies in the world, but we are helpless when it comes to media publication.In the age of instant messaging where whoever publishes last- doesn't count, people don't care about the circumstances. They're only looking for the results. We are always in a hurry, and need to get as much information as possible as quickly as possible. The newspapers compete for readers, and so they choose headlines that will capture our attention. Even thought the body of that article about the Gaza War was neutral and showed what lead to that attack, I'm sure most people will never know. We don't have time. We read headlines, and that's that
I'm not trying to make excuses, and I'm not saying that every decision made by the Israeli government is the right one. I'm just saying that it's natural to feel sorry for the little boy standing in front of a big tank. It's the easiest thing to do. But have you ever stopped thinking what brought that tank over there? Have you ever noticed the boy is holding a stone in his hand? Have you ever taken a moment to try and think what is not shown in the photos you see? Maybe there are hundreds of kids holding stones and standing in front of that tank. Maybe those kids threw stones at innocent people. Maybe some were killed and that tank came to stop this killing. Maybe those young kids are protecting a number one target of a terror organization. Maybe not. We'll never know.
Remember that headlines and pictures are meant to target readers' emotions- they don't always show the full truth. As Karl Popper once said, "Put everything to question. Things will be true only when no one can question them anymore." Since you can't see beyond the limits of what you are shown, or look into five different websites at a time, all I can recommend, and beg you to do, is this: Whenever you hear or read about something that seems to lack explanation, check yesterday's news. It may help you see things more clearly...

Israeli archaeologists uncovered an ancient well in the Yizra'el Valley, in the northern Galilee region. The well dates back to the Neolithic period (about 8,500 years ago), and is believed to have been part of an ancient farming settlement. Several artifacts were found in the well, but the most unique findings were skeletal remains of a young woman and an older man. The reason why their remains were inside a well is unclear.
Guests from 100 cities in Germany visited Israel last week for a conference celebrating Israeli-German sister cities. Sister cities (i.e. Holon/Berlin, Tel-Aviv/Cologne) share a partnership of common cultural and economic ties. The conference took place in Jerusalem last Sunday and Monday, and the Israeli and German delegations who met there discussed issues of shared importance. The conference opened with a fancy gala event that was attended by Israeli president Shimon Peres and German ambassador to Israel Andreas Michaelis.
Stevie Wonder just called to say he supports the IDF. The musical legend will perform at this year's "Friends of the Israeli Defense Force (FIDF) Gala," an annual event benefiting Israeli soldiers. The event is scheduled to take place on December 5th at the Hyatt Regency Century Plaza in Los Angeles. It will be hosted by Cheryl and Haim Saban, with more than a thousand members of L.A.'s Jewish community expected to attend. Considered to be one of FIDF's biggest and most meaningful events, the gala raises millions of dollars each year.
Four Israeli life scientists were among the 22 selected by the European Molecular Biology Organization (EMBO) to be part of its prestigious Young Investigator Programme. The program identifies some of the most promising young researchers in Europe. In addition to the high recognition, Israelis Ron Milo, Jacob Hanna, Itai Yanai and Raz Zarivach will each receive a €45,000 grant. The three-year program provides academic, practical and financial support during the early years of the researchers' independent careers.
And the Oscar goes to…A group of students from Nofey Golan High School in Katzrin won first place at the International Student Film Festival in Hollywood, California. The film Einey Shaked ("Behind Her Eyes") won Best Foreign Drama, beating 200 other films made by teenagers from all around the world. The 17-minute film tells the story of a close relationship between two young girls, put to test after a sexual assault. The movie critiques how authorities deal with cases of rape and sexual assault, where the victim is often the one placed into question instead of the perpetrator. Two of the student filmmakers lived out their dream: walking on the red carpet in Hollywood.
Hockey is back! After being absent for 16 years, hockey will make its comeback at this year's Maccabiah Games. Also known as the "International Jewish Olympics," the competition will feature hockey for the first, and only, time since 1997. The games are scheduled to take place during July 2013 in Metula, Israel, and they will feature teams from all over the world competing in a variety of sports.

Many years ago, a wise person (may have) said, "Don't get involved in politics you understand nothing about." Well, I guess Kim Kardashian missed that statement. Last week, the reality star's Twitter account turned into one big political mess… During the IDF Operation Pillar of Defense, Kardashian posted from her Twitter account: "Praying for everyone in Israel." This tweet caused controversy, and people unsupportive of Israel gave her a piece of their minds. The reality star quickly deleted the post, replacing it with: "Praying for everyone in Palestine and across the world." This tweet (you guessed it!) was less-than-popular with Israel supporters. This second post was also promptly deleted, and was followed by a longer statement by Kardashian in her web site's online blog: "I want to own up to and explain that earlier today I sent out two tweets about saying prayers for the people in Palestine and Israel and after hearing from my followers, I decided to take down the tweets because I realized that some people were offended and hurt by what I said, and for that I apologize. I should have pointed out my intentions behind these tweets when I posted them. The fact is that regardless of religion and political beliefs, there are countless innocent people involved who didnt [sic] choose this, and I pray for all of them and also for a resolution. I also pray for all the other people around the world who are caught in similar crossfires." Oopsy daisy…
A Polish film, based on one of the most controversial episodes of WWII, was released in Poland last Friday. Poklosie ("Aftermath") was directed by Wladyslaw Pasikowski and features a cast of famous Polish actors. It tells the story of the 1942 Jedwabne massacre of Jews by their Polish neighbors, a nightmare event in which hundreds of Jews were burned alive in a barn. The film was inspired by the book Neighbors, written by Polish-American historian Jan Tomasz Gross, which sent shockwaves across Poland after its publication in 2000. The date of the massacre has entered Poland's remembrance calendar.
And I know it's been several days now, but one last time, I want to say: THANK YOU!

Monica Sex is one of my favorite Rock Bands. Their music is generally characterized by its alternative rock sound and catchy lyrics. For 20 years now, the band takes a great part in Israeli culture, and is considered an Israeli music icon. Their songs have lyrics that I believe anyone could relate to. This, together with a top of the notch all-the-way rock melodies, makes their music immortal. While their music is mostly aimed for a younger audience, their 20 years of experience and the fact they are still relevant now as they were then, unite parents and their teenage children. So far, I've been to more than a few of their concerts, and the fun I am having is indescribable. Enjoy and Rock On.
Maka Afora (Grey Punch)- This is a song that 99% of Israelis know by heart
Al Haritzpah (On the Floor)- live
Mangina (Melody)- one of their beautiful ballads and the best video clip!

In the past eight days- Israel was at war, but it wasn't a traditional war. This war was fought in two fronts: in the field and in social networks. Eight days ago, I turned to you and asked for your help in supporting Israel online. The media was tilted towards the other side, and there were few of us fighting against it. I asked you to share the truth, and spread pictures and videos exposing Hamas' lies and supporting Israel. It may sound a bit funny, but your simple clicks on "share" helped Israel like we never imagined. Very much unlike Operation Cast Lead, Operation Pillar of Defense was seemed legit in the public's eye, who understood Israel's right to defend itself. It wasn't a full support, as you probably saw for yourself. Some media channels still chose to present a non-balanced picture of the reality in Israel, and saw it as a war between a strong army (IDF) and poor, innocent people (Palestinians). Nonetheless, to every article as such, there were hundreds of comments supporting Israel and condemning the tone of the tilted story. Some of those comments came from youI.
I would like to dedicate this post to you: non- Israelis who believe in Israel. Thank you for believing in us and for trusting us to handle this operation the right way. Thank you for seeing us as what we really are- a state wanting to defend itself from terror attack, while trying to minimize civilian casualties. Thank you for sharing the truth and helping the world see what you and I see, and most of all- thank you for not giving up! Some of your comments were so moving, they brought me to tears, and I really can't express my appreciation enough. Once again- thank you!!! May we never again have the need to defend Israel, both online and offline.

It's been seven days now since operation Pillar of Defense got the green light. For seven days, missiles have been fired at both Israel and Gaza, and people have been suffering from both physical and mental injuries. Honestly, nothing's really changed in the last seven days. The IDF is still trying to target terrorists, and Hamas is still firing on schools and residential areas while operating within civilian areas so that they could make it seem as if Israel is targeting civilians as well. Palestinians and Israelis are still under fire, and the IDF still battles terrorism. True, every day that goes by, more houses are being destroyed, more schools are being hit and more people get hurt. But all in all, there hasn't been a significant change in the situation. On the second day of the operation I looked at mainstream American news sites, and showed you the inaccuracy in some of their stories. Some were partially wrong while others were completely and utterly not factual. Five days later, a glance at several sites shows, once again, inaccurate stories. Journalism, by its own definition, is supposed to be balanced and as accurate as possible, but as it turns out, not all news channels adhere to these standards. These reports show that when it comes to attracting audiences, when there is a possibility for a juicy story, truth can sometimes be overlooked. From partial truths to completely imbalanced reports- here are the news sites you should avoid reading nowadays:
"CNN has multiple crews in Gaza, Israel and neighboring countries to bring you the latest accurate information on the conflict, the impact on people and talks to stop the violence. Turn to CNN TV andCNN.com for what you need to know now"- this short statement appeared right before a summary on operation Pillar of Defense, and the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. After this promise for a balanced report on the impact of the conflict on the people, an utterly imbalanced report appears. The article summarized the operation, presenting interviews with Palestinians and love reports from the reporter in Gaza, as opposed to quotes from Israeli officials. Now you tell me: if you read a description of a wrecked Gaza and of "children pulled from the rubble after one airstrike in Gaza", brought to you by a professional reporter who witnesses it all first handwho's side would you be on?. This reporter later interviews innocent Palestinian civilians who say how impossible life is under IDF attacks. After all of this, you read a quote by an Israeli official saying that one million Israelis are under attack. No quotes from Israeli civilians and certainly no description of what their life is like under Hamas rockets. When reading an article like that, which you believe is balanced, because is it what it claims to be, what is the image that will come to mind? Where would your sympathy go? I am not saying Palestinians don't suffer from this operation. I know they do and I think people should know and acknolwledge that. But this is NOT a war between the Israeli military and Palestinian civilians. In this story, there are two armies and two groups of innocent civilians. Both sides are being hurt. CNN failed to present that destruction is happening on both sides, that the IDF constantly warns Palestinians of upcoming attacks and that the Hamas couldn't care less.
Later, the very same CNN shows a Q&A, for people who want to get a better understanding of the conflict. This would have been a blessed initiative if it weren't for their imbalanced biased report. The first question alone, " What has caused the Israelis to strike so hard inside Gaza?", indicates that the purpose of this Q&A is far from explaining the whole story. The opposite question, what has caused Hamas to strike to hard inside Israel, does not appear.
CBS is also adopting a very pro-Palestinian, anti-Israeli tone, but there it is done in a more subtle way than at CNN. On the surface, they are giving a full report on what happens in Gaza: death toll rises as the IDF targets militants in civilian areas. This indicates the basic understanding of the fact that Hamas is, in fact, hiding within civilian areas to enhance the IDF's attack on innocent people and get more sympathy from the world. What is most interesting about CBS's website is their photo album named: "Israel, Palestinians in deadly clashes." This photo album presents images of wounded Palestinians (mainly small children, of course), and of Israeli missiles hitting buildings in Gaza. It shows Palestinians cry for help, holding infants, and Palestinians being rescued from rubble. Few images show Palestinian youth throwing rocks at Israeli soldiers and Israelis running for shelter with smiles on their faces. More photos of Israel are of the Iron Dome system successfully defending Israel. Now you tell me, what would you think if you had no idea what is going on, and you'd look at this photo album? On the Palestinian side- pain, tears, and stones as the only weapon against the strong Israeli army (no Hamas terrorists in the pictures, by the way). On the Israeli side- strong defense and confidence.
I'll be the first to admit- there are more Palestinian casualties than Israeli ones. This is due to Hamas' hiding places along with Israel's sophisticated defense system. However, this does not mean that Iron Dome is successful in blocking every single missile fired to Israel. Just yesterday, a school was directly hit by one of Hamas' rockets. People in Israel are living in terror. Children spend their days hiding from missiles instead of playing Hide and Seek, and running in fright to the sound of alarms instead of playing Tag. No children should have this kind of childhood and the world should be made aware of it. Israel is not immune. Rockets are not being fired back automatically when reaching city centers and schools in Israel. For some reason, CBS sure makes it look that way.
Like everyone else, NBC also couldn't resist reporting on the rise of the death toll in Gaza. As I mentioned before- this is a juicy story. Death attracts more readers than life in fear. However, I must say that NBC's report is rather balanced. One of the top stories in the Middle East section is of an Israeli family struggling for normal life under Hamas' attacks. NBC news succeeded in realizing what CNN and CBS missed (or intentionally ignored): Israeli civilians are also under brutal attack. Israeli children are in constant search for shelter and have no normal childhood, as rockets are constantly being fired from Gaza for many years. This is not a one sided attack- no matter how you spin it.
FOX News, I'm afraid, also failed to present a balanced report this time. Just like CNN ignored the situation in Israel, FOX ignored the situation in Gaza. It shows reports of the missiles fired from Gaza to Israeli civilian locations but does not say a word on Palestinian casualties. As IDF targets only militants, the reports there show just the successful hits. This, in my opinion, is also the wrong kind of journalism. Palestinians in Gaza are being hurt, just like Israelis are. Hamas is operating within civilian areas and even though the IDF sends warnings to the Palestinians minutes before it fires a missile, people are getting hurt. This is the full picture, and it should be presented.
In war, innocents from both sides get hurt, and make no mistake, this is war. When I read "accurate reports" presenting this as a one-sided attack, it makes my heart ache. What makes it even worse is the fact that my cry is almost unheard. It reaches almost nowhere and people continue to get the very wrong picture presented by foreign media. Israeli officials cannot order the IDF to put down their weapons because Hamas refuses to cease fire. Last night, Israel suggested truce for 24 hours, and in response, Hamas bombed Jerusalem, while Secretary-General of the United Nations, Ban Ki-Moon visited there. Israel has the right to defend itself and I wish there were no casualties in this process. But when I wake up every night drenched in sweat because I thought I heard the alarm, I support my brother, who's a soldier, and the entire IDF as they protect my family and me, while risking their lives in effort to minimize the attacks on Palestinian civilians. For us, the voice of the Israelis who live under attack is unheard- SHARE THE TRUTH!

Earlier today, someone posted the following on Israelife's Facebook page:"The IDF is an evil organization. Netanyahu and all the Zionist scum are evil murderers. By deception, they wage war. Do not be deceived!" In order to prove the accuracy of his statements, this person attached a video of a former IDF soldier being interviewed by the BBC back on January 6th 2009 during operation Cast Lead. In this interview, the Israeli said that what the IDF is doing in Gaza is a war crime. He also said that the IDF and the Israeli government are "killing the desire of the Palestinian people to live in freedom." This video is not fake or a fraud, it is genuine. The Israeli giving the interview is Yonatan Shapira- a well-known activist against the Israeli government.
A short You Tube search will provide you with several videos of Israelis opposing the government, claiming the IDF's way of interfering in Gaza is wrong. Similar videos presenting Palestinians opposing the Hamas are impossible to find. This fact leads some people, including the person who left the initial Facebook comment, to believe that the Israelis are under the rule of a rough government who strikes innocent Palestinians for fun and oppresses Israeli civilians. Moreover, it makes people believe that Palestinians under the rule of Hamas are living peacefully, only bothered by the occasion Israeli missile.
When I watch those videos and realize the lack of similar videos from Hamas, I come to a different conclusion. To me, the video of Yonatan Shapira represents one of the biggest differences between Israel and Hamas: Israel is a democratic country. The people here have every right to express their opinion, even it is seems non-legitimate. There, however, this freedom of speech does not exist. You cannot find a video of a Palestinian speaking out against Hamas, because they cannot do such a thing. Hamas settles in private houses and rules the citizens of Gaza with a an iron fist. It takes their money, their freedom and their voice, and anyone who even considers opposing the government- loses his or her life. The very few voices of people from the inside opposing the Hamas can only be heard from distanced western states, such as the United States. The title of Shapira's interview: "Brave Israeli Soldier Speaks Out On BBC Against the Crimes of His Government," is deceiving. He is not braver than any other Israeli, he just uses his democratic right to speak his mind. He was not executed but probably was criticized, for he is considered a minority here. Palestinians, on the other hand, don't resist, because they can't.
In the past couple of days, IDF aircrafts flew over Gaza and dropped notes asking civilians to stay safe and keep their distance from Hamas facilities. The IDF is doing all it can to hit legitimate targets without harming civilians, which is a very hard thing to do because Hamas intentionally operates within civilian areas. Hamas, on the other hand, carries no value for life, neither Israeli nor Palestinian. It aims at houses and town centers in Israel and uses Palestinians as human shields to defend itself from Israeli attack. Do not be fooled- Hamas does not care for the civilians living in Gaza because it only values death.. As more and more pictures and videos of Palestinians supposedly wounded by IDF forces turn out to be fake, it becomes more and more clear who is acting in a humanitarian manner and who is acting the exact opposite way. SHARE THE TRUTH.

In the past couple of days, I've been keeping you up to date with the situation here, in Israel.
As missiles are being fired to and from Israel, there is a war going on in social networks: Hamas representators are posting false pictures and videos, which have been exposed as lies on Facebook walls and Twitter accountes.
For your information, here are some examples of Hamas' online lies.
Since Wednesday 703 missiles were fired to Israel.
Please, help Israel and share the truth, so that people who do not read Jewish Journal can also get a better picture of everything that is going on here:
Yesterday, a picture of this bleeding baby girl was published on Twitter, presenting her as an injured Palestinian. Truth is (and a glance at the Hebrew letters on the shirt of the person carrying her), this infant is Israeli, which was hurt in yet another Hamas attack:
A couple of days ago, Hamas posted this heartbreaking image of a dead child in Gaza yesterday. Turns out the original picture was taken in Syria and posted three weeks ago:

Tom Ricketts, The Cubs Owner, was in Iowa this weekend and was interviewed by The Des Monies Register newspaper. There has been extensive local speculation in Des Monies that the Cubs organization was going to be moving their Triple-A Minor League Iowa Cubs team to Omaha, Nebraska.
"""We have no plans now or in the future to move the Cubs to Omaha," Ricketts said. Iowa has been a Cubs affiliate for 30 years." The contract is through 2012."
(Sound Familiar?)
"He talked about his Chicago Cubs, who entered Friday 10 games under .500 and 9½ games behind NL Central Division-leading Cincinnati.
"The first half of the year has been disappointing for every fan, the Ricketts family included," he said. "The off-season moves were very strong: Marlon Byrd is our All-Star. Getting him was a good decision, but I don't think anyone could really have predicted the difficulty we've had this year.
"I've talked to thousands of fans many right here in Des Moines. There's nothing I can tell them that they don't know. We're watching closely how things are going on the field.""
After paying all the money the Ricketts' family paid for the Cubs, The Ricketts, who were not known to idly wait and see what happens during their families' decades of business ownership success; expect their "plans" to change!
Lou Piniella, the Cubs Major League Manager, no longer appears to be mentally in our present day world and the obvious next Cubs Manager is Ryan Sandberg, who is the current Iowa Cubs manager. It was Piniella's quote during the Cubs 2009 Spring Training Season which started this whole 'Cubs in Naples' idea. The dry Arizona air does not allow pitchers' pitched balls to move in the same manner as balls pitched during the humid months of the northern states' regular summer season and Piniella was concerned that the dry air did not allow his coaching staff and himself to correctly assess pitching prospects. So Florida's more humid air would be the obvious fix to Piniella's problem, so I suggested.
Remember this quote from Tom Ricketts, "There's nothing I can tell them that they don't know." There is one thing you can tell them that they do not know Tom, that plans change when the current plan does not work and the current Cubs plan from top to bottom has not worked in almost a Century.
With their money on the line, expect the Ricketts Family to change their plan.
2012 or shortly there after Ryan Sandberg will be managing the Cubs' MLB team, the Iowa Cubs will be in Omaha and the Cubs Spring Training will have been moved to Collier County Florida along with the Daytona Cubs regular season.

Dr. Helen Hudson (Sigourney Weaver), a psychiatrist famous for her writings about serial murderers, is nearly killed by obsessed psychopath Daryll Lee Cullum (Harry Connick Jr.). As a result of this trauma, Helen becomes a drunken, pill-taking agoraphobic who can't leave her San Francisco apartment. After a series of bizarre murders, she calls the police suggesting that the murders were the work of a serial killer. Detective M.J. Monahan (Holly Hunter) and her assistant Ruben (Dermot Mulroney) believe Helen and discover, during the investigation, that the man is re-creating murders by the killers described in Helen's book: The Boston Strangler, Ted Bundy, Son of Sam and the Hillside Strangler. After Helen's secretary, Andy (John Rothmen) is murdered, Helen begins to fear for her own life. The film has a dramatic, terrifying conclusion as Helen confronts the killer and must overcome her own fears to save herself. ~ Linda Rasmussen, Rovi

This film adaptation of the Broadway musical based loosely on Puccini's opera La Bohème features many members of the original cast. It follows a year in the lives of seven friends living the disappearing Bohemian lifestyle in New York's East Village. AIDS and both its physical and emotional complications pervade the lives of Roger (Adam Pascal), Mimi (Rosario Dawson), Tom (Jesse L. Martin), and Angel (Wilson Jermaine Heredia); Maureen (Idina Menzel) deals with her chronic infidelity through performance art; her partner, Joanne (Tracie Thoms), wonders if their relationship is worth the trouble; Benjamin (Taye Diggs) has sold out his Bohemian ideals in exchange for a hefty income and is on the outs with his former friends; and Mark (Anthony Rapp), an aspiring filmmaker, feels like an outsider to life in general, always behind the camera recording the events but never playing a part. ~ Cammila Collar, Rovi

After creating an international sensation with the visually dazzling and intellectually challenging sci-fi blockbuster The Matrix, the Wachowski brothers returned with the first of two projected sequels that pick up where the first film left off. Neo (Keanu Reeves) and Trinity (Carrie-Anne Moss) have been summoned by Morpheus (Laurence Fishburne) to join him on a voyage to Zion, the last outpost of free human beings on Earth. Neo and Trinity's work together has been complicated by the fact the two are involved in a serious romantic relationship. Upon their arrival in Zion, Morpheus locks horns with rival Commander Lock (Harry J. Lennix) and encounters his old flame Niobe (Jada Pinkett Smith). Meanwhile, Agent Smith (Hugo Weaving) has returned with some surprises for Neo, most notably the ability to replicate himself as many times as he pleases. Neo makes his way to The Oracle (Gloria Foster), who informs him that if he wishes to save humankind, he must unlock "The Source," which means having to release The Key Maker (Randall Duk Kim) from the clutches of Merovingian (Lambert Wilson). While Merovingian refuses to cooperate, his wife, Persephone (Monica Bellucci), angry at her husband's dalliances with other women, offers to help, but only in exchange for a taste of Neo's affections. With The Keymaker in tow, Neo, Trinity, and Morpheus are chased by Merovingian's henchmen: a pair of deadly albino twins (Neil Rayment and Adrian Rayment). Filmed primarily in Australia and California (the extended chase scene was shot on a stretch of highway build specifically for the production outside of San Francisco), The Matrix Reloaded was produced in tandem with the third film in the series, The Matrix Revolutions. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

A determined California detective attempts to crack one of the most mysterious cases in modern crime as the tale of the fearsome Zodiac Killer comes to the screen in director Alexander Bulkley's cinematic account of the crimes that rocked San Francisco's Bay Area from December 1968 to October of the following year. As the citizens of the small California town of Vallejo prepare for their holiday celebrations, the discovery that two teens have been viciously gunned down at a remote lover's lane leaves the citizens of a once tight-knit community fearing for their lives. In the months that follow the brutal crimes, Vallejo police inspector Matt Parish devotes his entire existence to revealing the identity of the elusive killer and ensuring that no more innocent lives are taken. With pressure from both his superiors and the local press mounting, lack of sufficient evidence and increased tensions at home lead Inspector Parish down a series of frustrating dead-end roads. When the killer strikes yet again, this time shooting a young couple in a darkened parking lot, investigators are shocked to receive a phone call from a man confessing to the crime. A letter sent to the local newspapers by the confessed killer states that if it is not published, a dozen more people will die in the coming weekend. Even more curiously, the letter contains a mysterious code that, if deciphered correctly, will supposedly reveal the true identity of the man behind these shocking crimes. Though a suspect is questioned following yet another killing, this time in broad daylight, the frustrated police department fails to make an arrest as the elusive killer continues to taunt both the police and the media with a series of menacing letters. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Underground film icon Giuseppe Andrews stars as a sexually frustrated, half-Latino speed dealer whose rampant paranoia is about to get the best of him in director Eric G. Johnson's tense, hallucinogenic thriller Tweek City. Fired from his job at a Bay Area computer company, San Francisco speed slinger Bill Jenson (Andrews) seeks solace in the company of punk-rock porn connoisseur Jerm (Keith Brunsmann) -- a White Trash Debutantes fanatic. Jerm, however, becomes completely useless when he takes Bill to a punk rock concert, then stage dives and severely injures himself -- leaving Bill to fend for himself and to focus on what troubles him the most: the loss of his lifelong love, Sharon (Elizabeth Bogush). Life goes on, though, and these days Sharon is set to marry another man. As the wedding date draws near and Bill's tenuous grip on reality slowly begins to slip, the lovelorn addict embarks on a drug-soaked bender of epic proportions before he sets his sights on the ceremony and determines to stop the union at all costs. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi
