The Queen of almost' is a solo drug show written by Hadas Bashan for Talula Bonet.
Talula Bonet is a drug queen created by the young actor Tal Kallai 12 years ago, and up to now was mainly assigned with the biggest gay party lines in Tel Aviv
This is the first time Kallai has given Talula a stage to reveal her wishes, and personal voice. Talula tells her story, how she almost became the ultra-star of Tel-Aviv's great cultural life. Moving from the Kibbutz to the big city, she was sure she'll fast become famous and admirable for her talent.
Sounds like you have a lot of empathy to the character, even though it seems like it is the type of a person most of us will despise
We hear a lot of people getting out of the show, saying they found themselves in Talula's story: single ladies, gay guys, and obviously most of the people living in Tel Aviv, who are all familiar with "the almost" syndrome we talk about in the show. Apparently, we recognized a fundamental element; most people can identify with and share.
You have been going on with Talula's drag shows for over 12 years.
How much of Talula you have created is in Bashan's play?
Before this play, Talula mostly served as a side-kick in different TV shows and big entertaining gay events in order to add glam and color to them. She had never had the chance to "tell her story" right, so no one really knew who she really was, including me. Bashan sawed the pieces of her past together into a full picture, and Dudu Yzhaki's musical management contributes greatly to the way we wanted to tell it.
You were brought up in Jerusalem, where you also took your studies in the prestigious acting studio of Nissan Nativ's.
How would you compare what Tel-Aviv has to offer to the gay community with what Jerusalem is offering?
People may not know this, but even though it seems that everything happens in Tel Aviv, including the most significant gay party lines and events, Talula was actually born in a gay bar in Jerusalem, alongside with my fellows to the process where the group of drag queens "The holly Wigs" set their place. I'm proud to say that this is where Talula started, and all of us in "Holly Wigs" still keep a special place in our heart for to the first gay bar to accept us there.
I keep a new tradition now to perform every Monday in MIKVE- the new gay bar in the holly city with my weekly solo show: GEVALD

Never again – this is probably the best name for a museum that was created to commemorate Holocaust.
Outside the building is cold and rough. The walls are not welcoming, even if touched by dazzling February sun. The very end of Mall, not far away from waterfront, in the immediate vicinity of the Washington Monument - the US Holocaust Memorial Museum is located somehow aside, just not to spoil the merry atmosphere of the National Air and Space Museum or the National Museum of American History Police around, "Taste your water, Sir" at the security, which is not unusual in the US, but still uncommon when entering a museum.
The main bright hall does not announce the traumatic content of the museum. There is a lot of space, it seems that the building is breathing and enjoying the sun as if it was alive. In order to enter the exhibition, guests are asked to enter a large elevator. It is not obvious if it was an intention of the constructors, but being crowded on a small space starts to bring some associations. First floor, second, third. The elevator does not hurry.
The three floors of the Holocaust Memorial Museum are incredibly packed and as you walk the rooms, artifacts, life stories and pictures weave the perplexing history of genocide that happened in Europe. The authors of the permanent exhibition decided to offer most of the information in the first rooms so that the visitors understand what they are going to see later. Large print boards, movies and pictures that set the scene for the next rooms. At the beginning you feel the urge to take notes, to remember, to know, to have the number at hand, but after some time it becomes fastidious, impossible, pointless.
The Museum unfolds the story chronologically. Paradoxically, the more you know the more you believe that there will be a happy end. Perhaps the whole death-fuelled machine will break at some point. It will just stop digesting the atrocities. This is obviously not the case. Next room. The broadcast is becoming more and more brutal. Some of the screens are protected in a way that children cannot see the content. The machine works and is well oiled. A room filled with shoes brought from Auschwitz, the foul smell that is so omnipresent at the original site, people starting to break down in tears.
The US site is not too interactive as it should not be. It is painfully explicit and educating in all three parts it offers: "Nazi Assault," "Final Solution," and "Last Chapter". Each visitor experiences different range of emotions. Without a shadow of a doubt, the US Holocaust Memorial Museum leaves you with many questions, the most basic being "How was this possible?" The answers given by the Museum's narrative are straightforward but still, you just want to question the nature of a human being, if Holocaust was possible.
More than 34.1 million people visited the Museum since it opened in April 1993. There are more than 16,385 objects gathered, with an average of six to seven new items acquired each week. The US Holocaust Memorial employs 400 people.

How should a Holocaust art look like? Are there any functions which it needs to execute? Should it follow any cautious guidelines; inspire any actions or thoughts; inform, remind or alarm? Adolf Frankl's permanent exhibition in Vienna, called 'Art against oblivion' ('Kunst gegen das Vergessen'), seems to have its own mission too. Yet his paintings approach Holocaust from a very personal and, therefore, a very unobvious viewpoint.
Adolf Frankl was born in 1903 in Bratislava and studied art with renown Slovak artists of his time. During his studies he also worked as a cartoonist and a painter. Being Jewish, In 1944 Frankl and his family were captured and transported to Sered' concentration camp. Having spent a bit more than a month there, the painter was deported to Auschwitz. Later Frankl was moved to a typhus barrack in Althammer (Stara Kuznia), a neighbouring camp of Auschwitz. In 1945, he was saved by the Red Army. Right after his rescue, the artist moved back to Bratislava and started to work on his most prominent creation, inspired by what he has seen during the Holocaust - the cycle 'Visions from Inferno'. In 1949 the communist regime has forced Frankl to leave Bratislava again, his 'beloved native town' as he called it in the names of his paintings. This time the artist has left his town forever. Frankl lived in Vienna, New York and Germany and died in Vienna in 1983.
Frankl has devoted more than 50 years of his life to art. Learning painting in the interwar Central Europe, the artist couldn't remain unaffected by the major tendencies, which have drastically changed the fine arts. His works were to a certain extent inspired by Chagall, Picasso as well as by lesser known artists.
Holocaust is not the only topic of Frankl's countless paintings - but among his cartoons or scenes of the pre-war life in Bratislava or Vienna, it obviously plays the central role. The artists takes a very individual touch to the representation of this topic. According to the memories of Thomas Frankl, the artist's son who runs the exhibition in Vienna, Adolf has hardly spoken about his Holocaust memories. Instead, these memories were voiced through his art.
But apart from artist's war memories and sketches, Frankl's works feature many reflections, full of hidden and apparent comparisons, symbols and metaphors. Thus, Frankl constructs Adolf Eichmann's face from the bodies of suffering victims ('Adolf Eichmann - anthropomorphic description'); while countless faces, figures and Bratislava city patterns can be found on a mosaic-like 'Remembrance of the Bratislava rabbis'. Being an important element of Frankl's inspiration, Bratislava is beautifully portrayed on 'The approaching doom', where mysterious faces and images, symbolizing the nearing disaster, have filled the sky over a picturesque city skyline.
The dynamism, inherent to Frankl's paintings, is aimed to depict the transformations, which happen to human nature in times of disorder. These transformations are, again, approached from a metaphorical, maybe even slightly 'naive' viewpoint (which is rather mentioned in the context of 'naive art' than literally). 'The tornado' portraits 'the eruption of evil and the animalistic inhumanity are portrayed in the numerous figures', and 'The persecutors' intends to 'describe the hatred of human creatures becoming animals. It is the wild animals with their bloodthirsty mouths chasing the weak and defenceless ones'.
Apart from the permanent exhibition in Vienna, opened in 2006 at Judenplatz, the historic center of Viennese Jewish life, Frankl's paintings have been presented at various shows during the past forty years in Austria, Germany, Israel, Poland, the USA, Italy, and, finally, in Slovakia.
Slovakia has an especially significant meaning in this list. Thomas Frankl recalls accompanying his father in his trips to the Austrian borderline, where only a border fence separated him from his beloved city of Bratislava. Frankl could clearly see the Bratislava castle and the city skyline on the other bank of the Danube, on the other side of the Iron Curtain, with no hope to ever come back to the city of his birth. Years after the artist's death in his 'Viennese exile', his paintings have eventually passed the already fallen border.
Frankl's art offers an offbeat approach to the hard and constrained topic of Shoa. Being very personal by default, these paintings do not aim to win the masses. Yet, their ability to fascinate and puzzle does not need to be proven.

My 'Tu B'Shvat' celebration started when I came across an ad calling for volunteers to come and give a hand in establishing an urban farm in the middle of 'Shchoona Gimel' (3rd district) Be'er Sheva. The invitation was signed by the organization, Shvuat Ha Adama (Earth's Promise) , which was founded by a young couple, and sponsored by Issac Hamez and World KKL in partnership with the municipality of Be'er Sheva and Kalisher Absorption Center, which accommodates newcomers from the 'Palashmura' clan of Ethiopia.
Adam Joshua Ganson and Moran Slakmon started the project 4 years ago with a vision: To use the most fundemental element in bringing people of a community together: the land.
The 3rd district of Be'er Sheva is strongly assocoated with low economical class, less fortunate population and societal tension.
This is where the couple chose to base their headquarters from which they supervise the development of at least two more southern urban farms of the same model as they grow. The intention of the two is to supply the foundations for realizing the concept, while the execution itself is left to the locals, who gladly take upon the oppurtunity handed to them. They launch the starting point, considering all conditions necessary for the miracle to happen in the target community, knowing the community could easily take off from there.
What are the conditions required for an ideal farm in the city, so it could be sustainable and benefficial for all?
We are now on the second phase of our work here: putting the citrus orchard for the enjoyment of all members of the neighborhood. We check first options of the topography; in Kalisher Garden, for example, there's a clear slope coming down the hill, which could be naturally used in this climate. This area is prone to many floods followed by dry days. Digging channels in the soil to accumulate extra water is an old Nabatic system aimed to keep the water in the ground. It's ecological and economical.
But what you can see allready in use to the right is the garden. That was initally dedicated solely to the residents of the absorption center. We got many seeds of original plants from Ethiopia, the 'Palashmura' are used to working with, like "Gomen" (a kind of lettuce), and we encourge them to try out local mediterianan seeds like eggplants, though it's not an ingredient of the traditional Ethiopian menu.
The 50 familes living in the absorption center at the front are working here for their own food. Each family to its own flowerbed.
The final stage will be the farm behind. For this we went to the local businesses in town asking them what would they like us to grow, to ensure that they will buy the farm's products. This way we also use a naturally deserted place; and naturally making the city more beautiful and, of course, green. We supply a new pool of local organic food, without using any gas or diesel to deliver it, or a big network of supermarkets to sell it. Most important of all: this kind of system is not only about going green and healthy, it is also important to strengthen the local coin: Money stays in, and so does labor and time—those don't run out of the borders of the neighberhood.
To top it all, there's a crucial social effect to what we are doing: not only the newcomers are meeting the old residents at their back yard, but all people of the neighberhood are invited to take part in a real co-operative: whoever gives time of work in the farm. Local businesses and other community services are giving back time and products by the hour. Our favourite Falafel vendor has just joined the operation; dancing lessons and Hebrew teaching and all kind of barters are being swapped with the working hands like good old classic trading.
This is it, I pulled my sleves up, ready to plant my first tree this year with the Palashmura for their first Tu B'Shvat in Israel. I look at Moran and Adam and with their co-ordinator Ateret I started following their skilled smooth movements as they deal with the dirt. Trying to adapt to myself a true serious look of a farmer, even if just for one day.

One Israeli medical student and one documentary cinema photographer join together to run the "POSOTIVE" project. A unique 40-minute documentary film chronicling the story of the rock music scene as seen in the live house concerts performed monthly at the student's house in the Capital of the Negev—Be'er Sheva.
No, that's not quite accurate. Strike it down and let me start over; this the private story of Ronel Keren, 6th year student of the medical University Semmelweiss in Budapest, Hungary, landing straight from cold Europe into his professional internship in 'Sorroka' hospital in Be'er Sheva. Originally from Kfar Sabba, Keren didn't know anyone in town. Let alone, he didn't go to 'Ben-Gurion' University either, as most medical students living there do; and so he sensed a strong lack of a community for himself.
Having played in a band for as long he can remember, one night Keren went to sneak a taste of the local rock music scene at a popular venue in town, and fell in love with the raw authentic statement of what the artists there had to offer. Unlike in other more central areas of Israel, in which music creators strive to keep up the beat up to date, there was something almost pure in the lyrics and melodies brought out by the citizens of the desert city.
Once a month Keren rents some amplifiers, microphones and lights, and the little quiet home of his goes through a transformation: in the corner of the kitchen the artists are invited to "the stage," on the other corner of the living room neighbors and families take their place on the couch or on a carpet on the floor ready for magic to begin.
POSOTIVE project aims to bring music as Keren believes it should be delivered to the listeners: intimate, close, un-plugged. For this cause he assigned Itamar Luria to follow the monthly events with his camera. The result, they hope, will become a 40-minute documentary aimed to expose the Negev local voices to the world. Voices that are unlikely to be heard at global scale.

'Visas for Life: Righteous Diplomats', a Holocaust day exhibition at Vienna UN headquarters, surprisingly evokes one's strongest emotions; and these emotions have no connection to horrifying pictures of mass murders. Sadly, I've put the word 'surprisingly' here intentionally.
There are two groups of people: those who are too scared to see a Holocaust exhibition and those who have seen so many of them that it can hardly change their state of mind anymore. Often, it can hardly tell anything new to them either: if your plans for this weekend include a Holocaust exhibition, you probably already know that Shoa is a terrible tragedy which should not happen again.
The exhibition in Vienna kindly invites both groups to come. There is completely no Auschwitz there, but plenty of little-known, yet important and exciting stories instead. Promised.
'Righteous Diplomats' were different diplomatic officers, who used their positions and available means to save the persecuted Jews along with other victims of the Nazi regime. Fake visas and illegal hideaways acted as life saving tools. The 'Righteous Diplomats' were not exactly the same as the 'Righteous Among the Nations' (though many of them were awarded this title). A collective image of a peasant hiding a fellow Jewish family in a barn obviously had less resources for a rescue than an ambassador. Lives of heroic diplomats was full of risk and often ended the way they expected the least.
Raoul Wallenberg, the most famous one from the list, has saved tens of thousands Jews working as a Swedish diplomat in Budapest. His tool were fake protective passports of 'Swedish expatriates' and illegal embassy buildings. Wallenberg knew he was suspected and Nazis could capture him anytime, so he slept in a different place each night. His prediction was not entirely accurate: he was captured by the Soviets and died imprisoned in 1947, somewhere in the Soviet Union.
Ariel de Sousa Mendes, a Portuguese aristocrat and diplomat in France, whose signature was on 30,000 illegal free visas, allowing its bearers to escape the Nazi regime. Dishonor, disgraced and forgotten in the post-war Salazar Portugal, he died alone in poverty in 1954.
Some other diplomats, like Carl Lutz, Ho Feng-Shan, Chiune Sugihara, Giorgio Perlasca, Hiram Bingham IV and Jan Zwartendijk had a better fate. But what does unite them all? What is in common among a Swiss Vice-Consul in Budapest; a Chinese diplomat in Vienna and his Japanese colleague in Lithuania, which have helped thousands of Jews to get to Shanghai and Japan; a disillusioned Italian fascist, working under a Spanish disguise; a noble American descendant of Protestant missionaries and treasure hunters and a Dutch director at the Phillips factories in Lithuania? Was there a common factor, which have turned all these different personalities into heroes saving thousands of lives?
Presenting the stories of the righteous diplomats, the exhibition highlights six keywords, attempting to identify the guiding powers behind the heroic actions. These words are 'Cooperation', 'Ingenuity', 'Self-Sacrifice', 'Social Responsibility', 'Integrity' and 'Moral Leadership'. But can these concepts describe the real motives as good as the words of the diplomats themselves, which open each story presented at the exhibition?
'Even if I am discharged, I can only act as a Christian, as my conscience tells me. If I am disobeying orders, I would rather be with God against men than with men against God'. These are the words of Aristides De Sousa Mendes, a Portuguese saviour of 30,000 French Jews and other persecuted persons. The main guiding power of the diplomats was their strong values, and only then the strong decisions. But what nurtures these values? Are there any requirements for embodiment of such values into one's character? And, importantly, of what use are these stories and their motives to us, here and now?
As mentioned at the conclusion of the opening ceremony, apart from its direct meaning, the exhibition also has a universal message. It's about the choice each of us has regardless any circumstances. It's about our jobs, which assignments and constraints should not cross our moral values and personal interests, regardless of the possible loss or punishment. And if they do, it's again about the choice we always have. And probably a bit of heroism too.

In writing about the Shifting Thought Shifting Action gathering in Berlin I am not going to describe the entire event, but the thoughts that came to me specifically because I had a chance to be there.
For some time now, sociologists have been describing the change in people's relations, which have transformed from local to global. The greatly reduced travel time to the farthest regions of the world and the economy of it allows us to move easily and participate in the same conference in some central location, allowing for the exchange of views and the building of strategic relationships.
Facebook, which has had doctor's theses devoted to it, changed personal relations for the better, into quick, concrete, task and information exchange oriented contacts. Not community bonds, but supranational relations have become the everyday staple of human communication. However, humans cannot live in such conditions for long, because we are gregarious creatures and need contact with other people. When I say contact, I mean face to face, hand in hand, where the exchange of thoughts and observations counts and not just brief, specific information. What is more, we are no longer satisfied by international contacts, as those, which were to be intimate. Relationships such as family, friendship, partnership, those closest to humans are slowly returning to its place, that is the local environment. Long distance relationships through the Internet, Skype friendships, were an interesting experiment of our contemporary period, but despite their ease and accessibility did not give us the same satisfaction as "old fashioned", pre-Internet relations.
Jews around the world began to realize this. As a "global nation" tied by a network of various contacts, they realized that the strength and basis of its existence is that which is local. But so far, from my "Polish-Jewish" observations, I can say that, that which is local is often pathological, incompetent, without a long-term goal, chaotic. How then can one build a great supranational network based on this? I believe that Jewish organizations such as ROI and Paideia noticed this problem long ago, but it did not seem right for them to speak out about it. Firstly, because ROI is an Israeli-American organization, so any comments made about Europe could be perceived as interfering in matters not on their turf or a form of paternalism. Secondly, Americans, Israelis and Poles all differ mentally, so even if the intention were good, communication could fail. Regardless, ROI was bold enough to organize a conference, with a catchy name – Shifting Thought, Shifting Action, which simply screams, Europe, it's time for some pretty serious changes.
Such a logo could only imply one thing – there will be discord. 50 confident, young people, activists with approaches as different as the two extremities of a river, were locked in one conference room with a table decked with bagels and coffee. For three days. Honestly? It turned out fantastic. Why? Because ROI and all the wonderful people working for the organization knew, that they were treading on thin ice. There was time for conversation, official and personal, time for direct action and time for a spiritual connection (personally, I'm not fond of candles or spiritual morning exercises, so I don't even know what to call it, though I still wear the blue string on my right wrist. By the way, only those that were there in Berlin know about the blue string). There was time for an exchange of thoughts and not the shallow, goal-oriented type, but of the deeper kind, which comes to you when given a bit of time to interact with another person. It was then that important comments were made by the event's participants. Even though it was nice to spend time and work together, get to know each other and promise to keep in touch, the meeting wasn't all that local. Because, even though it was an event for Jews in Europe and even though we stated how we wanted our modern community to look, few of us can actually return to it and make a change. There is a certain establishment, and excuse me for saying so, but it is mostly post-communist or blind to new initiatives. Those who managed to get in, can slowly drill into the rock and hope that someday there will be a tunnel; however most of us will crash into that rock.
A true challenge for organizations such as ROI, though perhaps not that one specifically, would be to gather for 3 days, in one room with bagels, members of the establishment. Would the days pass by in as pleasant an atmosphere? I would venture to guess – no. Although ROI is probably capable of surprising me. Much was said about us being the future of our local communities, but most of us probably thought, "sure, when the establishment dies off". Although I believe that the priority of approaching social changes will be local community, I'm afraid that for some time still, young people will escape to the international, shallow, informational, task and goal oriented contacts. There is such a great chasm between the way of thinking of that which is young, fresh and new and that which is stale and firmly clinging to the wall, that I personally don't see much of a role for us in local Jewish communities in Europe. You can tell by the projects that young Jews create. There are a lot of apps, websites, video blogs and photos. We feel better in the virtual realm than we do with flesh and blood. In the case of problems or unpleasantness we can retreat more quickly. We close the site and we disappear, born again on a new page. In the real world of local Jewish communities, the mistakes of our youth, interesting initiatives which the establishment calls "being out of line" or even the less diplomatic plays, they haunt us and spoil every new idea from the start. But how is a young man to know, what is diplomatically correct or what is not. Which strategy will prove successful? Many people may not agree with me.
This text is not a summary of research but rather an observation. And as any observation, it is based on the specific physical and mental characteristics of my person. I do not doubt that organizations such as ROI or Paideia will tackle this problem as well. They have proven many times their great intuition for spotting trends, correlations and nuance. I am only calling attention to it...

In Brief
- Membership in a large number of groups was once thought to be detrimental because it complicated our lives and caused stress.
- Now, however, research shows that being part of social networks enhances our resilience, enabling us to cope more effectively with difficult life changes such as the death of a loved one, job loss or a move.
- Not only do our group memberships help us mentally, they also are associated with increased physical well-being.
You have turned up for your annual medical checkup. The doctor has taken your blood pressure, inquired about your diet and exercise patterns, and asked whether you smoke. Then come some rather pointed questions about your social life: Do you have many friends? Do you socialize? Which groups do you belong to? How diverse are they? How important are these groups to you?
Even though these questions are unexpected, you go through the long list of your active memberships: your book club, volleyball team, hiking group, work colleagues, and so on. Your doctor congratulates you and says that you are doing exactly the right things. You even learn that because you belong to so many social groups you should not worry if you skip your gym visit every now and then.

Good stuff.
Good stuff.
Another fun guest who is not allowed on HSS anymore.
Spontaneous comedy can be mean and hurtful.
Howard delivers the scripted pre approved funny.
Kind of a borefest this morning
Bill Maher reference.
They all can't be winners. I'll take Norton and Florentine in a "Borefest" over edited replays any day.
Florentine is hilarious. His podcast is excellent.
Say hey, whadaya say? Give me a nickel...
better than the satelitte years or any bullshit on the howard channels
I tried to listen but there was way too much DLR. A Norton/Florentine show would have been great.


text: Home Politics Donna Brazile: Voter Photo ID Not the Answer The interim Democratic National Committee chair says that the GOP push for new voter-identification laws is a war on voting. By: Cynthia Gordy Posted: May 4 2011 12:08 AM 0 Getty Images In the month since political analyst Donna Brazile took the helm as interim chair of the Democratic National Committee, she's been focused on matters relating to the 2012 election, including a push by Republican-controlled state legislatures to require photo identification at the polls. Republicans say that the laws are necessary to prevent voter fraud, but Brazile claims that they're a partisan tactic designed to weed out voters who are more likely to be Democrats and help the GOP on Election Day. "The photo-identification laws that Republicans are pushing across the country are most likely to disenfranchise young Americans, poor Americans and minorities -- individuals who are least likely to have government identification or to be able to afford to get it," said Brazile in a recent DNC statement. Eight states have photo-ID laws, and legislation is pending in more than 30 others. Among the more noteworthy measures: * An Ohio bill would require one of four forms of photo identification at the polls: an Ohio driver's license, a personal state ID card, a military ID or a passport. * Under a Kansas bill, not only must voters show a photo ID at the polls; in order to register to vote, they will also have to produce their birth certificate or other proof of citizenship. * A pending Texas bill rejects voters with IDs from state universities but would accept, among a few other forms of identification, a handgun license. Although 11 percent of eligible voters don't have these types of photo identification -- stats that creep higher among the typically Democratic-voting groups of African Americans, the poor and the young -- many people don't see what the big deal is. When The Root explored the issue in a previous article, most commenters said that voter-ID laws sounded like common sense. Democratic hand-wringing, on the other hand, sounded like excuse making for people who can't be bothered to make a simple trip to the DMV. On her last day as DNC interim chair before passing the torch to incoming chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz, Brazile makes her case. She explains why laws requiring certain forms of photo identification only sound sensible, and what she thinks lawmakers should do to really protect voting rights.

This summer Walt Disney is set to release The Lone Ranger starring Johnny Depp and Armie Hammer. The story, of course, is nothing new. The Lone Ranger today is an icon of the 20th century. His story represents a romanticized version of the "Wild West" with all its rough and tumble glory. The Lone Ranger is a hero, saving the lives of innocent settlers and catching outlaws with the aid of his faithful friend, Tonto. Yet the image of the Masked Avenger that movies and TV have painted in our mind may not be entirely accurate. In the past, men like Clayton Moore, Chad Michael Murray, and now, Armie Hammer, have played the leading role of the Lone Ranger. A closer look at the historicity of the Lone Ranger's story however, suggests the possible inspiration for the legendary figure to be Bass Reeves, an often forgotten former slave and U.S. Marshall in the Indian Territory in the years preceeding the Civil War.
Bass Reeves was born in 1838 in Crawford County, Arkansas, a child of slaves. He grew up in Grayson, Texas after his owner, William S. Reeves relocated. During the Civil War, Bass claimed to have fought under the leadership of William Reeves' son, Col. George Reeves in the Battles of Pea Ridge (1862), Chickamauga (1863), and Missionary Ridge (1863). Bass Reeves' family however, claims an alternative story which suggests that between 1861 and 1862, Reeves attacked his owner in an argument over a card game and escaped into Indian Territory. Though the truth has yet to be determined, historians consider it unlikely that Reeves ever served in the last two battles. Regardless, after the war, it is understood that Reeves served as a guide for U.S. government officials as they passed through Indian Territory.
In 1875, Reeves began his career as a deputy U.S. Marshal under the guidance of Federal Judge Isaac Parker of the Western District of Arkansas. Roaming a 75,000 mile area in what is now mostly Oklahoma, Reeves was responsible for chasing and apprehending criminals. To do his job, Reeves employed a number of clever tricks and techniques all too reminiscent of the well known Masked Avenger. As a 6'2″ man, Reeves learned from the Native Americans how to make himself appear smaller on his strong white and grey horse. At times he would surprise outlaws by adopting their clothing and mannerisms. Just as the Lone Ranger gave out silver bullets, so too did Reeves give out silver dollars as calling cards. Reeves was also often accompanied by one particular Native American, whose name is unfortunately unknown to historians at this time. According to contemporary reports, Reeves apprehended more than 3,000 outlaws and killed 14 during his time as a marshal. Many of the criminals he apprehended were sent to Detroit to serve their time. Interestingly enough, it was in Detroit that the Lone Ranger radio program first aired.
What the Lone Ranger did in movies, Bass Reeves did in real life. Known for wielding a rifle along with two pistols on either hip and being a dangerously accurate shot, Reeves no doubt had an intimidating presence. It was his unwavering dedication to his job however, that gave Reeves his serious reputation throughout the West. Despite his success, Reeves was forced to retire in 1907 when Oklahoma became a state due to the strict Jim Crow laws. Sadly, his larger than life persona has since been lost in the annals of history. While the story of the fictional Lone Ranger comes back time and time again, the true story of Bass Reeves continues on without much notice.

I like Avia and Audrey. McKinley and Emerson are blatantly masculine, and Kensington is incredibly pretentious.

I like Avia and Audrey but possibly with the mns switched
so Avia Nicole and Audrey Quinn - I find these easier on the ear , Avia Quinn doesn't sound as nice as Avia Nicole IMO , I don't know why , same with Audrey Quinn. I think Quinn also spices up the very traditional Audrey and likewise Nicole makes Avia sound more classic (personally I think Ava Nicole would be even prettier)Proud mama to Lillian Gwynaeth (Lily Gwyn/ Lilou) (12/2012)

Easy to assemble and really easy on my back. I use mine for laundry and bringing groceries up to my apartment. I used to make 3 trips in the elevator until I got this cart. It's strong and handles a lot of weight very well. Note to female senior citizens like myself who don't have a lot of experience putting things together: When you put on the big wheels, make sure to BEND the last little clip you put through the rod to hold the wheels on. If you don't bend it around, it will work itself out and the wheel falls off. Yea, you got it. I didn't bend the clip and both wheels fell off just before I got it to the car to load up. Thank God I managed to gather up all the pieces and put it back together on the spot. For 65 years I have been learning things the hard way. Seems like that isn't going to change any time soon. (;
Cart was above my expectations.....I use it all the time...for groceries, transporting items and even in the yard!
This cart is very handy for carting groceries and other items between car and 2nd floor condo unit. A bit difficult to steer using all 4 wheels but once tilted back onto back wheels, moves very easily. Holds a great deal.
Heavy gauge steel. Real rubber wheels. This thing turns heads man! Instructions are a tad hard to follow. Here is a tip, move your OLD shopping cart near you when you assemble this. Look at the instruction that come with your order, then look at that section of you OLD chart. The rest is cake. PS: If you don't need the old cart anymore, please don�t just throw it in the garbage, give it away or put it where someone who needs it will find it.
This quality of this item was a disappointment. It is made in China junk. The instructions for assembly were awful, and the wheels fall off when you use the cart. I do not recommend this.
Written instructions are crap - however I found this website which was great! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m1qhiWkV0kg
Took this cart to a big flea market this weekend. It was so nice to not have to carry my purchases, just pushes them around. Recommend for many uses.
Easy to assemble but cheep product; you can see it was made in China. I had one in the past and it lasted several years. I will let you know how long this one will survive. Color and everything else - no complaints.
The size, height and overall build of the cart is good. The issue is that in order to navigate the cart, the cart must be tilted back onto its wide rear wheels. The cotter pin assembly, as included, in the package is not strong enough to hold the weight advertised. I had a cart full of groceries, a combination of lightweight items like fresh spinach and heavy items like milk. The load was likely less than half of the advertised weight, but even if it was higher... the wheels bowed on the first trip. IF you need a low price cart, this cart may be for you if you can watch the load and are able to tilt and push. This really is not a cart for disabled or elderly persons without the dexterity to balance the cart as the front wheels do not turn. This also is not a cart for persons who want to carry 12 packs or cases of cans or bottles of any kind. I feel that this cart could leave me stranded and would never use it for distance. I plan on using it as little as needed with great care until I can either get my other cart repaired or shell out for a better cart. Purchasing this cart for heavy use because of the great price is a mistake as you will need to purchase another, however light use and light loads should work great or if you are able to find someone to secure the wheels better. I may try a heavier cotter pin and see if that helps. The wheel assembly is the only issue with the cart. however it is an important one, so take care.

ChaVe asked you a question in your old UDF-less thread in Columbus. It was bumped by a relative newbie yesterday.

But you never know -- if you want to keep it alive, you might give the mods a shout out that it's still relevant?
Congratulations on having the tenacity to post 900 consecutive days! Warren {:-)

Her Name is Georgia...
I kept her somewhat monotone. I loved the background and didn't want to do too much to it. The number "1" in the lower right was something I wanted to keep since this is the first time I've done an under painting like this. I did the shoulders of her jacket as if they had faded and run a little bit. HB doesn't like it. What do you think?
24 comments:
She is stunning! I love what you did with the colors this time, she looks so soft and that beautiful neckline. There are a lot of depth in there too. The way she sort of fade/wanish is a great detail too. Make it a lot more exciting I think. And the background..... no wonder you didn't want to cover it too much.
Great job Janet and inspiring too. Thanks for sharing!What Kristin said! She summed it up perfectly!
Also, there's something about her expression. It really speaks to me. It's like she's finally revealed something to the viewer that has been weighing heavily on her mind, and she's waiting for a response. But not in a meek, or scared kind of way, but rather in a slightly cocky kind of manner. Like "Whaddaya think of that?!?!"
I really appreciate each and every comment you leave for me. From now on I will respond to your comments here so check back if you have a specific question. I will try to answer you here.
Thanks for taking the time to visit me and for leaving a comment.

Most Malaysian IP law firms reported an increase in patent and trade mark filings last year. According to figures from the Malaysian IP Office (MyIPO), patent applications increased by 7.1% and patents granted increased by 4.5%. Trade mark applications and registered increased by 10.5% and 9.5% respectively.
While Malaysia awaits accession to the Madrid Protocol, other changes were made to the Industrial Designs Regulations and the Copyright Act. One lawyer says "it is likely to be the end of 2013 for the Madrid Protocol", while another lawyer believes "it is all talk and nothing has been put into action yet". Malaysia will be holding an election in the first quarter of 2013, so another lawyer commented that it would not be a surprise if IP law takes on a lower priority: "The speed at which some of the changes will be implemented will most likely be determined after the 2013 election." Under the current arrangements, 2015 is the absolute latest for Malaysia to join Madrid.
MyIPO is also promoting IP securitisation, where intellectual property is used in financial transactions in the form of a charge, mortgage or collateral. To further this, MyIPO is working to encourage understanding of the value of intellectual property and its potential as a financial instrument. However, this would rely heavily on the soundness of Malaysia's financial system as well as adopting an appropriate pricing model.
In addition, Malaysia is preparing for the accession to the Budapest Treaty on the International Recognition of the Deposit of Microorganisms for the Purposes of Patent Procedure.
Legislation passed last year also brought about some procedural changes. The Copyright Act was amended on June 1 2012 with the adoption of the Voluntary Notification of Copyright Regulation, which gives copyright owners more tangible protection by depositing a copy of the work eligible for copyright with MyIPO. Furthermore, amendments to the Industrial Designs Regulations brought about an increase in prescribed fees, procedural changes and the introduction of electronic filing of applications effective February 15 2012.
Dave A Wyatt and Lim Eng Leong of Henry Goh & Co describe the key changes in 2012 for patents, designs, trade marks, copyright and geographical indications

Managing Editor
Nov. 9, 2010 — I love reading. Every night I read no matter how tired I am. My daughter has often turned off my bedside lamp and taken my glasses from my face and laid my book or Kindle aside. I tend to enjoy light reading late at night because after a day at work, helping with homework and reading several newspapers, I want to escape into a world that suspends reality. My favorite reading material is mystery/suspense without a lot of blood and gore.
However, this fall and winter, I plan to explore the autobiography genre, again. In high school I read a lot of biographies and autobiographies. I became fascinated with the lives of celebrities. I am not fascinated with celebrities any longer. I rarely watch TV, and movie stars bore me. But, I do want to read the recently released "Autobiography of Mark Twain." I loved his novels when I was growing up, and Hannibal, Mo. isn't very far from my hometown of Moline, Ill., that sets on the Mississippi River.
I am currently reading "Courage and Consequence: My Life as a Conservative in the Fight," by Karl Rove. It is a fascinating story. That read comes on the heels of reading "Going Rogue," by Sarah Palin and "A Bold Fresh Piece of Humanity," by Bill O'Reilly. Palin's book gave me insight into the second women to be nominated to run for vice president. O'Reilly's book was funny and strangely similar to my life in the fact I also grew up in a middle class Catholic home. I literally laughed out loud. It has less to do with politics and more to do with how many of our lives were shaped by the values of the church and families living in the 50s and 60s.
On my buy list are the two autobiographies by George W. and Laura Bush. I admire Laura Bush greatly. "Spoken from the Heart," by Laura Bush has gotten well-received reviews from both political parties.
The 43rd president's book is being released today, Nov. 9. No matter what anyone says about George W., he was a man of principle and conviction. This man was not wishy-washy and I admire that. I am not ashamed to say I am a fan. It still amazes me how people still bad mouth him and blame him for everything. He is a man of integrity because I know I wouldn't have been able to spend the last two years quiet and humbly supporting President Obama. There are only three left in the elite club besides the current president, and I applaud the former presidents for getting along. Hopefully, the current one can learn a thing or two from them about grace and humility.
By the way, I have read "My Life," by President Bill Clinton, and I did read Obama's books "Audacity of Hope" and "Dreams from My Father — A Story of Race and Inheritance." I enjoyed the read, but they only confirmed what I was slowly learning, I couldn't support voting for him.
My point this week isn't so much about politics but about reading. I would rather read books, magazines and newspapers on different points of view than listen to pundits on the radio or TV. Books and articles give readers a more in-depth look at the author's thoughts and perceptions. I have no doubt Obama and Clinton love America. But after reading their books, I came to the conclusion they love it differently than I do. I happen to agree with Rove and Palin. I hope to learn knew things from Twain and gain insight into the Bushes.
So when I am not clicking knitting needles together, I plan to grab a pair of woolen socks, a quilt and snuggle on the couch with a biography and learn how others made their life work. Join me on the journey. I'd love to hear your thoughts.

Shrimp, glorious shrimp!
Since I was meeting a gal-pal for lunch at divey Chinese restaurant Wahsun, it seemed like a good moment to take a closer look at the surrounding neighborhood. Although I've been to the Bookmans over there many times, it's never occurred to me to look around: there's presumably a dimensional rift that transports a person directly from Christown Spectrum Mall to the Bookmans plaza.
It turns out there's a haunted strip mall.
These excursions require a little Daytrotter, so let's start with Minnesota's One for the Team (official site), a sort of jazzy pre-grunge-ish, maybe-a-little-folk, let's-bang-on-things group that writes about love gone the ways love goes. Extremes of ups and downs turn out to be apt for this neighborhood tour. Hop in the car with me, and let's go. Read the rest of this entry »

I normally wear a large tall, what size should I order. I'm 6'2" 210 lbs. and long arms.
I got by with the XL great, but as you know when a Tall size isnt available this is a huge YMMV.
So far the rain i experienced wasnt a good indicator for water proof.
I couldn't wear it the next day, however, because they recommend drip dry only and it didn't dry out after 1 night hanging.

Railway saw 4m more passengers last year
11:00am Saturday 17th August 2013 in News By Will Lodge, Senior reporter
ALMOST four million more people travelled by train in the region last year.
Train operator Greater Anglia saw 126.4 million passenger journeys in 2012-13 compared to the previous year.
The latest figures, published by the Office for Rail Regulation, also showed the operator employed 95 more staff.
More trains ran on time, with only 1.9 per cent cancelled and 0.2 per cent "significantly late", compared to 2.2 per cent and 1.3 per cent the previous year respectively.

I would love to get a train to work, in Chelmsford, everyday but (although we, the taxpayer, subsidise rail networks through the stratosphere) the prices are stunning.
I sympathise with those that have no option, but until realism is restored, I'll stick to the car.

COPENHAGEN, Denmark - An elite Danish soldier has been killed in southern Afghanistan by an explosive device, military officials said Thursday.
The blast is said to have happened late Wednesday or early Thursday and came as members of Denmark's Ranger and Frogmen units were on a joint patrol with an Afghan police's elite unit.
The Ranger was airlifted by helicopter to a field hospital but his life couldn't be saved. Next of kin have been notified.
The soldier was from the northern Denmark city of Aalborg. His name or rank were not immediately released.
Denmark has about 600 troops in Afghanistan, mostly based in the volatile Helmand province. More than 40 Danish soldiers have been killed in Afghanistan since Denmark joined the U.S.-led coalition in 2002.
Denmark has begun withdrawing its combat units and is gradually shifting its role to training Afghan forces.

The diagram below outlines the steering teams as well as all the interface projects that are active in the TM Forum Integration Program. Click on the boxes below to learn more or click here for the complete project list. Description and purpose:
Service providers want to be able to select their operational and business management systems from various providers based on factors such as prices, quality and functionality. However, the price of trying to integrate and continue to maintain these systems from different suppliers can be high. This is often referred to as the "Integration Tax". The TM Forum Integration Program (TIP) has the goal of addressing and mitigating the integration tax problem by creating a set of standardized interfaces that enable rapid, repeatable and flexible integration among systems. The Interface Strategy to meet these needs is outlined in the following TM Forum Integration Strategy document. The TM Forum Integration Program (TIP) is responsible for the TM Forum work on business services, interface specifications, related Reference Implementations (RIs), and Compliance Test Kits (CTK) in accordance with the Interface Strategy set out in the TM Forum Integration strategy. The TIP Program is broken down into an over arching co-ordination team, (the TIP Steering Team) and a number of projects which address specific technical areas.

Judge Them Only On Their Athletic Performance???
I think that they should be good role models and be good at sports. If you are not a good role model then your reputation in sports gets ruined. If your reputation gets ruined then your fans will not go to your games and your sports career will be ruined. Unless you prove to the world and your fans that you have changed your ways.

This is nothing short of AMAZING. Well done!
The Akhtar - Irani family tree is great. You may also add actress Tanvi Azmi, wife of Baba Azmi. Tanvi's mother was Usha Kiran, actress of the 1950s.
AH! I had no idea and will add that branch! Excellent!
hi Beth...
Indeed, the akhtars are a super talented family. Thanks!!
However, Farhan and Zoya Akhtar are not twins...
Also, though may not be related to movies, Javed Akhtar's brother Salman Akhtar is a renowned psychoanalyst.
How on earth did I miss this? There will soon be overlapping trees too!
Feroz's wife Sundari is also actress Sonia Sahni's sister. Sonia was married to IS Johar at one point, although I don't think they had kids.
Shaukat Kaifi is from Hyderabad and Kaifi Azmi from Azamgarh, UP. Farah and Tabu are from Hyderabad, hence they are from Shabanas' maternal side of family.
Shukat Kaifi (Shabanas' mother) is from Hyderabad and so are Farha and Tabu. Whereas, Kaifi Azmi is from Azamgarh, UP, hence they are from her maternal side of family.

Israel has urged the U.S. to set up definite 'red lines' over the actions of Iran which - if crossed - would lead to an aggressive response, including an American-led attack. Washington has so far asked Israel to cool down its rhetoric on the issue to give talks and sanctions a chance. RT talks to writer and journalist Afshin Rattansi.

Commodity prices are on the upswing to start the trading week as risk sentiment mounts a cautious recovery after three consecutive weeks of aggressive selling. In the absence of top-tier economic data or significant Eurozone-linked news flow, the catalyst appears to have come by way of supportive overnight comments from Chinese Premier Wen Jiaobao, who said Beijing will maintain an active fiscal policy focused on stabilizing economic growth. The remarks stoked hopes that China will undertake stimulus measures to boost its own performance and by extension that of the global economy at large.
Looking ahead, the absence of major scheduled event risk through the end of US trading hours suggests the corrective advance is likely to continue. Indeed, S&P 500 stock index futures are pointing firmly higher ahead of the opening bell on Wall Street, arguing for a near-term upside scenario for growth-geared crude oil and copper prices. Gold and silver likewise stand to gain if the rebound in the risk space dents safe-haven demand for the US dollar. With that in mind, disappointment in the largely fruitless G8 summit over the weekend is likely to keep a lid on the festivities considering none of the headwinds battering risky assets recently have materially changed.
COMEX E-Mini Copper (NY Close): $3.468 // -0.012 // -0.34%
Prices are recovering from support at 3.438, the 100% Fibonacci expansion level. The advance faces initial resistance at 3.537 marked by the 76.4% expansion, with a break above that exposing 3.598. Alternatively, a break of support opens the door for a test of 3.334.
Spot Gold (NY Close): $1592.99 // +18.72 // +1.19%
As we suspected last week, prices recovered after putting in a Spinning Top candlestick above support in the 1532.45-1522.50 area, marked by the Sept. 26 and Dec. 29 spike lows. The 1600/oz. figure is now in play, with resistance there reinforced by the 50% Fibonacci retracement at 1599.17. A break above these boundaries exposes the 61.8% Fib at 1616.23. Near-term support is marked by the 38.2% retracement at 1582.10.
Prices are testing resistance at 28.70 after putting in a Bullish Engulfing candlestick pattern above support at 27.06. A break higher exposes the next upside barrier at 28.70. Alternatively, a reversal through near-term support on a daily closing basis opens the door for a descent to the 26.05-15 area.
WTI Crude Oil (NY Close): $91.48 // -1.08 // -1.17%
As with the S&P 500, prices are staging an intraday recovery from support at 90.49 to challenge resistance at 92.51, a former support marked by the Dec. 16 low. A break above this boundary exposes the Feb. 2 low at 95.41. Alternatively, a break of support targets 88.55.

Dear Mrs.T.Muller,
I know you think you shouldn't give me a chameleon to keep forever but here are some reasons why you should :
First of all I wouldn't let my dog even touch it, anyway I'd buy an aquarium for it that he would like. I'll bring it to school so the class could look at it and feed it so that we can learn how to be responsible for a living creature. Plus I'll read to him at free time and improve my reading fluency. Also it would teach the class about chammeleons. At gym time we could play hide and seek with him. It would make school more fun and kids will want to come everyday! These are the reasons why you should give me a chameleon. signed
Your responsible student, Fiona

TODAY WE WENT TO MRS. BANNERMAN'S CLASS AND WE SAW A FRENCH PLAY. IT WAS ALL ABOUT A CHEETAH, ZEBRA, ANTELOPE, LION, TREE, AND A TURTLE. iT WAS ABOUT THAT THERE WAS NO RAIN SO THEY ASKED THE WISE LION FOR ADVICE, THE LION TOLD THEM THAT YOU NEED TO GO TO THE TREE AND TELL HIM HIS NAME. THE LION TOLD THE NAME AND THEY ALL TRIPED OVER A ROCK AND FORGOT THE NAME OF THE TREE. BUT WHEN THE TURTLE TRIED HE DID NOT TRIP OVER THE ROCK BECAUSE HE WAS STEADY AND SLOW SO HE COULD SEE THE ROCK AND HE DID NOT FORGET THE NAME AND HE SAVED THE DAY BY MAKING IT RAIN!

My favourite book is Little witch .
I like books because they can be about anything!
They can give me good dreams.
If I was forced to read to kids I would say yes.
