Jews and Other Differences; or, Essentialism as Resistance
It could be said that the tension produced by the essentialist/constructionist debate is responsible for some of feminist theory's greatest insights, that is, the very tension is constitutive of the field of feminist theory. But it can also be maintained that this same dispute has created the current impasse in feminism, an impasse predicated on the difficulty of theorizing the social in relation to the natural, or the theoretical in relation to the political.
Although it is inflected differently for race, sex, and sexuality, there are ways that the essentialist/social constructionist dichotomy operates similarly for all of these categories.
We must start with a recognition that essentialism has no essence (Fuss 1989, 4, 21). There are as many essentialisms as there are differences to be essentialist about (Boswell 1992, 135). Although they have been often analogized, essentialism with regard to gender seems to me quite different from essentialism with regard to sexuality—and both, it seems, are entirely different from essentialism with regard to race and to whatever Jewishness is as well. To begin to understand the dimensions of this difference, a typical definition of the question with regard to sexualities will be sufficient. Contrasting definitions of essentialism with regard to feminism and gayness will bring out this point clearly. A recent writer on gay identity has defined the controversy in the following manner:
This quotation should by itself point up how the meaning of essentialism will be different when applied to the category "woman" than when used for the category/ies gay and lesbian, for virtually no one will doubt the reality of the division into sexes or its historical and cultural universality.[14] Essentialism, then, with regard to the category "woman" has to do rather with whether attributes beyond the obvious and physical ones—women menstruate, conceive and bear children, and lactate; men lack all of these capabilities—are to be associated with these physical differences or whether all such associated characteristics are culturally constructed and thus detrimental to the autonomy of individual women to define their own essence. (My illogical usage of "essence" at the end of the sentence is conscious and proleptic of the position I will take.) On the other hand, the debate about sexuality is whether or not in other cultures or in the past of our culture, which is the same thing, there were homosexuals and heterosexuals as categories of people, or only homosexual and heterosexual acts. With regard to sexualities, I claim, the question of essentialism is first a historical and ethnographic question, almost an empirical one; with regard to sexes, it is a philosophical one."Essentialists" treat sexuality as a biological force and consider sexual identities to be cognitive realizations of genuine, underlying differences; "constructionists," on the other hand, stress that sexuality, and sexual identities, are social constructions, and belong to the world of culture and meaning, not biology. In the first case, there is considered to be some "essence" within homosexuals that makes them homosexual—some gay "core" of their being, or their psyche, or their genetic make-up. In the second case, "homosexual," "gay," and "lesbian" are just labels, created by cultures and applied to the self. (Epstein 1992, 241–42)
The following description of what essentialism means in a feminist context should further clarify the point:
The crucial words in this paragraph for my limited purposes here are "as sex may be"; in other words, the division into sexes is (or at least may be) an innate feature, even for those who are anti-essentialist feminists.[15] There are men and women "really"; the question is what does this mean, or what are they like, or are there any essential differences beyond the obvious ones, while the question with regard to gay people is: Have "they" always existed, or have "we" "made them up"? Have they perhaps made themselves up—at a certain point in cultural history (Hacking 1992)?[16]If most feminists, however one may classify trends and positions—cultural, liberal, socialist, poststructuralist, and so forth—agree that women are made, not born, that gender is not an innate feature (as sex may be) but a sociocultural construction (and precisely for that reason it is oppressive to women), that patriarchy is historical (especially so when it is believed to have superseded a previous matriarchal realm), then the "essence" of woman that is described in the writings of many so-called essentialists is not the real essence, in Locke's terms, but more likely a nominal one. (De Lauretis 1989, 5; see Fuss 1989, 4–5)
In a paper published in a recent collection, Steven Epstein poses the issue in a sharply focused and politicized manner. "I take as given that power inheres in the ability to name," he writes, "and that what we call ourselves has implications for political practice.…Legitimation strategies play a mediating function between self-understanding and political programs, and between groups and their individual members" (Epstein 1991, 241). The great virtue of Epstein's paper is its constant attention to the political function of claims to essence. In the following statement, while I think he seriously misconstrues social constructionism, he nevertheless clearly articulates this political function:
This alleged "folk constructionism" bears no relation, typological or genetic, to social constructionism—it certainly predates these theories—, so Epstein is setting up a paper tiger here, but nonetheless, the positive part of the argument seems undoubtedly correct to me. Claims for essence are legitimation strategies for identity politics and, as such, are attacked at great peril to causes of difference and liberation of differences. As Ed Cohen has put it, "How individuals come together to act for change, how these actors are changed by their activities, and how these acts and actors crystallize as movements cannot be adequately imagined if the powerful effects felt by acting subjects are 'theoretically' disappeared" (Cohen 1991, 82). This formulation appears in a generally appreciative discussion of Judith Butler's work, in which Cohen has also written:A "folk constructionism" comes to be disseminated: the view that sexual identities are willful self-creations. And in reaction against this folk constructionism, which denies the experience of a non-voluntary component to identity, lesbians and gays operating within the liberal discourse slide to the opposite extreme: they assert that there is something "real" about their identity, and then try to locate that felt reality in their genes, or their earliest experiences, or their mystical nature. (261)[17]
And thus, I would add, it paradoxically reinscribes the "Protestant" ideology of the individual. Picking up on Cohen's overall argument, I would suggest that only a grouping which has some somatic referent can allow itself the possibility of reinventing its essence: "For if we can begin to gather together on the basis of constructions that 'we' are constantly and self-consciously in the process of inventing, multiplying, and modifying, then perhaps 'we' can obviate the need for continuing to reiterate the fragmenting oscillations between identity and difference that have been the legacy of post 1960s progressive politics" (88). As Cohen quite brilliantly suggests here, there has to be some referent for a we that is not in quotation marks in order for the cited, constructed "we" to function as such. With regard to women and gay people, there is some "objective reality," some somatic referent, it seems, about which to even ask the question of essence. At least ostensibly, the category of women is defined by something they are in their bodies, and gay and lesbian people by something they do with their bodies. There is, in both cases, as I have said, something about which to ask the question regarding essence, although I have argued that it is a different question in each of these two cases. But what about Jews? In what sense does this category exist—even as a nominalist category? I suggest that only genealogy can fill that function for Jews.In its attempt to rethink "agency" so that it is "constituted" in terms of "construction," it obviates any concern with what brings individuals together to effect changes in the social imagination/organization of their shared life-world, implicitly portraying collective action as "simply" voluntaristic. (83)
The most common language for the description of Jewishness historically is the language of race, γένος. Race, however, certainly did not mean in the premodern period anything like what it means today. The term has taken on an entirely different set of connotations in a recent epistemic shift, analogous to the epistemic shift that Foucault and especially Arnold Davidson have identified in the discourse of sexuality (Davidson 1992). If Foucault could write, "Our epoch has initiated sexual heterogeneities" (Foucault 1980), we can also claim that our epoch has initiated racial heterogeneities in almost the same fashion (Cohen 1991, 78–79). "Race," which was once the signifier of a set of relations with other human beings determined in the first instance by a common kinship and historical connection, has become the signifier of distinct, heterogeneous human essences, at just about the same time that sexual practices were transformed into the signifiers of different categorical essences of human beings. As Lloyd Thompson has put it:
This shift in meaning has, of course, enormous implications; the fact that it took place in tandem must also be meaningful.In these old and ever-popular usages, "race" bears two sometimes overlapping connotations: on the one hand, an ethnic group, a people, or a nation; and, on the other hand, a somatic type defined in terms of perceived skin colour, hair type, and morphology—a concept of "race" that dates from the latter part of the seventeenth century. (Thompson 1989, 13)
Let us begin, then, by exploring the sense that "race" might have had for premodern and particularly late-antique people. Symptomatic perhaps of this shift is the following statement from Dio Cassius, "I do not know the origin of this name [Jews], but it is applied to all men, even foreigners, who follow their customs. This race is found among Romans" (Gager 1983, 91). Now it is quite clear from this quotation that for Dio the word "race" does not imply some sort of biological essence, since it can be applied to Romans who have chosen to follow the customs of Jews. In short, one can convert to a race. "Race" is thus the signifier of a concept for which we have no word at all in our language, something like family writ very large. Just as family for us is primarily the signifier of a genealogical, that is, biological connection, but one that does not in any way presuppose some biological essence, so also "race" in premodern usage. Furthermore, just as family includes people who are not in the primarily physically defined grouping but have joined it secondarily, either through marriage or adoption, so also people can join a race in Dio's usage.
Jewishness was, therefore, in antiquity, something—I do not say an essence—that could be referred to via the language of race. We no longer do so, although oddly enough, it seems that the modern sense of race has been constructed originally precisely against the Jews. This occurred at two points in the development of the modern concept. The first is in the Spanish "purity of blood," limpieza de sangre, to which I will have further reference below. This term signified one whose blood had not been tainted with the blood of conversos, converted Jews, and was, therefore, purely Spanish and purely Christian.[18] The second is at the development of modern "scientific" racism, which is, originally, the founding ideology of anti-Semitism.
There are significant differences between Jewishness and the modern sociopolitical senses of race. The primary dissimilarities involve the fact that people can convert to Judaism, which would seem to suggest that it is merely a confession, and that there are no "racial" characteristics that mark Jews off from other human groups, as there are, for instance, for Japanese people or Europeans.[19] More revealingly, however, the convert's name is changed to "ben Avraham" or "bas Avraham," son or daughter of Abraham. The convert is adopted into the family and assigned a new "genealogical" identity, but also, since Abraham is the first convert in Jewish tradition, converts are his descendants in that sense as well. There is thus a sense in which the convert becomes the ideal type of the Jew (see, however, Davies 1974, 168n.3).
On the other hand, Jews do not sense of themselves that their association is confessional, that it is based on common religion, for many people whom both religious and secular Jews call Jewish neither believe nor practice the religion at all. This kind of "racialism" is built into the formal cultural system itself. While you can convert in to Judaism, you cannot convert out, and anyone born of Jewish parents is Jewish, even if she doesn't know it. Jewishness is thus certainly not contiguous with modern notions of race, which have been, furthermore discredited empirically. Nor are Jews marked off biologically, as people are marked for sex; nor finally, can Jews be reliably identified by a set of practices, as for example gay people can. On the other hand, Jewishness is not an affective association of individuals either. Jews in general feel not that Jewishness is something they have freely chosen but rather that it is an essence—an essence often nearly empty of any content other than itself—which has been inscribed—sometimes even imposed—on them by birth.
How can this sense of genealogically given essence be distinguished from racism? What it comes down to, finally, is this. Any claimed or ascribed essence has two directly opposed meanings depending simply on the politics of the given social situation (Foucault 1980, 101–02). For people who are somehow part of a dominant group, any assertions of essence are ipso facto products and reproducers of the system of domination. For subaltern groups, however, essentialism is resistance, the insistence on the "right" of the group to actually exist.[20] Essence, as such, always makes an appeal to the body, to the "real," the referential. For women, the appeal is to the difference in the reproductive, sexual body; for gay people the appeal is to the difference in their sexual practices; for Jews, the appeal is to filiation. What we see in each of these cases is that the very things appealed to in order to legitimate the subaltern identity are appealed to as well by dominating groups in order to exploit the dominated. The valence of the claim shifts from negative to positive with the political status of the group making the claim. Therefore, I suggest, that which would be racism in the hands of a dominating group is resistance in the hands of a subaltern collective. In order, then, to preserve the positive ethical, political value of Jewish genealogy as a mode of identity, Jews must preserve their subaltern status. I wish to set out, at least in nuce, a notion of identity, which I will call Diaspora identity, which will be of value beyond the articulation of Jewishness alone.

My 3 yr old daughter loves it! Its easy to assemble and disassemble. My only complaint is it isn't very wide inside, her feet hang out the door. My fault for not checking the dimensions correctly. :)
Got this as gift for a 1 yr. old. She plays in all day; it's roomy enough for her Mom or Dad to sit in it w/her. It seems quite durable. The parents are quite please w/ this gift and how much their daughter loves it.
This was a gift but the friend I sent it to said her 2 girls (ages 2 and 4) LOVED it! She said the 4 year old made her put it in front of the TV so she could sit in it and watch TV. My friend said it was very sturdy and well built.
Once the kids tired of the castle, they put it on its side and it was a missile and they were off to the moon.
I purchased this castle for my niece and she LOVED it. It looks small in pictures, but believe me it is a good size. 3 adults can fit in there and have plenty of room.
My older daughter received this castle as a gift for her birthday. Just a couple of weeks ago, she found it and pulled it out and I set it up. The fabric was really thin and and even had small holes in it. I figured it wouldn't last long, but that it would be fine for her to play with it. Fast forward to this morning. The fabric is so cheap that one of strips of fabric around the edge of the door or window tore. I heard my 7 month old crying and found the strip of fabric wrapped around her neck. I had to run and cut the fabric off of her neck and she seems to be fine other than a red mark around her neck. I am shaken because if I had not checked on her right away, this could be a completely different story. I am keeping a close watch on her. I looked on the discovery kids site and cannot find contact information and have tried to contact discovery.com to report this issue. I would hate for this to happen to another child and their mother not catch it right away like I did. This fabric is too thin and cheap and tears too easily. I would not recommend this product and am posting this in the hopes that someone will read it and not purchase this castle.
Read the reviews before I bought this for two nieces under 4 yrs old. So glad I decided to send it to them. Their mother says the girls won't get out of it. They love it for their puppet shows too! Perfect for making little hearts happy!
Bought this for my grand daughter and the smile on her face was worth the money, but after a little use it does not stand up straight.
I was so pleased to receive the Princess Play castle for my grandchildren. It is a very nice shade of pink and playing in this castle would make any little girl feel like a Princess. It is very roomy and provides hours of fun for the children while allowing them to give way to their youthful imaginations. I can't think of a better gift I could have given them!
The Princess Play Castle is the perfect size for both indoor & outdoor use. It's easy to set up, take down, & store. My granddaughter loves it!

EDMONTON - Advanced Education Minister Thomas Lukaszuk will appoint financial consultants to help the University of Alberta achieve a balanced budget in 2014-15, the Journal has learned.
Doug Goss, chair of the U of A's board of governors, released a statement to the board Tuesday saying that Lukaszuk will appoint financial consultants to assist the university and ensure it is putting its finances on a "sustainable" footing.
The consultants will do a "pilot financial review project ... to help identify any potential gaps in fiscal planning for the institution," says the statement.
Goss said in an interview Tuesday that Lukaszuk is "supportive of the U of A's mission" but he has some additional financial requirements for the institution. Goss declined further comment.
"University administration will work co-operatively with the ministry and these independent consultants to ensure they have all the information they need to understand the financial challenges we face, their root causes and the risks they present the university and our students," says Goss's statement.
This month, each of the province's 26 colleges and universities will be receiving a letter from Lukaszuk with his comments on their budgets and plans to cope with the more than seven per cent cut in provincial funding in this fiscal year — a $147 million drop in funding. The U of A lost $43 million in provincial funding, instead of an expected two-per-cent increase. As well, its investment income was down, leaving it short about $67 million this year.
Lukaszuk "expressed concern with the proposed three-year plan" and has asked the university to provide quarterly updates to the department, says Goss's statement. Goss received the letter from Lukaszuk last Friday.
Lukaszuk approved the U of A's plan to carry a deficit of $44.7 million for the 2013-14 fiscal year, says the statement. It also says the government wants the U of A to reach a balanced budget by 2014-2015.
"Overall, the government accepts our plan and recognizes the value of our long-term aspiration goals," says Goss in the release.
"Most particularly the minister noted and commended our "strategic approach to developing research priorities that improve student engagement, key collaborations and academic excellence.' "
Earlier this year, the U of A talked of carrying a $60 million deficit. But about 10 days ago, the administration, on short notice, initiated an offer of voluntary severance packages to help cut $56 million in the next two years.
Academic staff have until Sept. 16 to decide whether to apply for severance with a year's salary. The dean of each faculty will have the final say in who qualifies for severance.
The U of A, the province's largest research institution, received $3 million from the federal government for its world renowned virology institute.
At the same time, science course are being pared back and some 20 low enrolment programs are being eliminated in the arts faculty.
"Many good people across the institution have been working hard to address this fiscal situation and I appreciate the good work and thinking happening at all levels," Goss added.

Hundreds of past and present Miami Herald employees gathered at One Herald Place to say farewell to the newspaper's 50-year-old building.
The gathering took place Wednesday, a month before the newspaper moves to a new headquarters in nearby Doral.
The current building will be demolished to make way for a luxury hotel and high-end condominiums.
Herald President and Publisher David Landsberg spoke of the newspaper's rich history, which includes 20 Pulitzer Prizes. He also said The Miami Herald is geared for the future.
The new building will be fully adapted to the digital media age.

In Hans Rosling's hands, data sings. Global trends in health and economics come to vivid life. And the big picture of global development—with some surprisingly good news—snaps into sharp focus.
Even the most worldly and well-traveled among us will have their perspectives shifted by Hans Rosling. A professor of global health at Sweden's Karolinska Institute, his current work focuses on dispelling common myths about the so-called developing world, which (he points out) is no longer worlds away from the West. In fact, most of the Third World is on the same trajectory toward health and prosperity, and many countries are moving twice as fast as the west did.
What sets Rosling apart isn't just his apt observations of broad social and economic trends, but the stunning way he presents them. Guaranteed: You've never seen data presented like this. By any logic, a presentation that tracks global health and poverty trends should be, in a word: boring. But in Rosling's hands, data sings. Trends come to life. And the big picture — usually hazy at best — snaps into sharp focus.
Rosling's presentations are grounded in solid statistics (often drawn from United Nations data), illustrated by the visualization software he developed. The animations transform development statistics into moving bubbles and flowing curves that make global trends clear, intuitive and even playful. During his legendary presentations, Rosling takes this one step farther, narrating the animations with a sportscaster's flair.
Rosling developed the breakthrough software behind his visualizations through his nonprofit Gapminder, founded with his son and daughter-in-law. The free software — which can be loaded with any data — was purchased by Google in March 2007. (Rosling met the Google founders at TED.)
Rosling began his wide-ranging career as a physician, spending many years in rural Africa tracking a rare paralytic disease (which he named konzo) and discovering its cause: hunger and badly processed cassava. He co-founded Médecins sans Frontièrs (Doctors without Borders) Sweden, wrote a textbook on global health, and as a professor at the Karolinska Institut in Stockholm initiated key international research collaborations. He's also personally argued with many heads of state, including Fidel Castro.
As if all this weren't enough, the irrepressible Rosling is also an accomplished sword-swallower — a skill he demonstrated at TED2007.

thank you too kid41212003!!!!!!! it's pretty easy......just be patient and spray at a good distant......and do about 3 to 4 coats........good luck
awesome paint job, seeing ur window mod made me want to put a hole in my 690 so cheers man. now contemplating painting it too, by the way the cm690 looks soo much bigger in the photo's than in RL haha
That really is a great looking case, very professional looking dude! 8/10 from me... ... only a few things that have marked it down for me, and please don't take this personally, it's just my constructive criticism. A lot of people get their arse out about opinions after they've asked for them (not that I'm saying you are). I think you should paint the DVD bezel, even though it works as it is, looking at the DVD drive on it's own makes it stand out a bit too much. The other thing, and even though you've done an freaking excellent job on the cable management, which for me is one of the major, make or break factors in a PC on display - is the fact some of the coloured cables are taking away from the overall look. Sorry if I've come across as an anally retentive, detail nazi-asshole, I just thought you might appreciate my explanation as to why I've given you 8/10. Still one of the best looking cases in the gallery in my opinion.
Dont worry, it's awesome that you have some constructive criticism. I do appreciate it. Im really open to everyone's opinion. Criticism: bad or good, just as long as i get them
dude that is sick i was planing to buy one of those and paint the inside black and the outside dark green nvidia might also do liquid cooling this time black?? i am not sure
thanks FooArm, JrRacinFan, and MKmods!!!!! FooArm: that's a really interesting concept......i wanna see how green would look like, and doing the watercooling in black.....i know that's going to be awesome. I just wish I had the money to do somehting like that ....let me know when you're done.....I bet it will look RAD!!!! JrRacinFan: yeah, doining the cable management thingy is a bit tricky, but i know you'll pull it off......anybody can.....just take your time on it.....good luck.
Paint job is amazing and how long did it take you to figure out what you were going to do for the cable management. I have a coolermaster cosmos and my cable management sucks. Check it out on the first page its called "The Beast". Oh yeah I gave you an 8/10.
I voted 5/10 because: Looks good man, but wire managment is not detailed enough for my tastes sorry I am a bit of a harsh critic

SYRACUSE -- Polls have opened and voting is underway statewide for Election Day 2011. Here are some of the featured races we'll be following today, and reporting on tonight when polls close at 9:00 p.m.
In Onondaga County, both County Executive Joanie Mahoney and District Attorney Bill Fitzpatrick are running unopposed. The most visible individual race in the county may be for Syracuse City Auditor, where Republican Steve Kimatian faces Democrat Marty Masterpole for the office currently held by Phil Latessa. This race has been linked to recent stories about alleged violation of campaign finance laws by Mayor Stephanie Miner's political action committee. Miner has denied these claims, and is not up for re-election this year.
Elsewhere in the county, two towns have public referendums on the ballot. In Salina, the town has proposed purchasing the current Burdick Chevrolet dealership on Old Liverpool Road, which would replace the aging town hall on School Road as well as the current highway department garage. Also, incumbent Salina Supervisor Mark Nicotra (R) faces a challenge for his post from Democrat Patrick Foster.
In Camillus, village residents will decide whether to dissolve their municipality into the surrounding Town of Camillus. The county comptroller says dissolution will save the average town homeowner at least $77 per year on their tax bill.
In Tompkins County, there is a four-way race for mayor of Ithaca. Democrat Svante Myrick, Republican Janis Kelly, Independent J.R. Clairborne, and Wade Wykstra are facing off to replace outgoing mayor Carolyn Peterson. Other local cities electing mayors today include Auburn, Oneida, Fulton, Oswego, Cortland, Rome, Utica, and Watertown.
In Oneida County, in addition to the aforementioned mayoral races, County Executive Anthony Picente (R) is running for re-election against Conservative challenger Rodger Potocki.
And in the Town of Ledyard in Cayuga County, incumbent Town Clerk Rose Marie Belforti faces a challenge from write-in candidate Ed Easter. Belforti has made national headlines recently for refusing to sign same-sex marriage certificates, instead delegating the duties to a deputy.
Tune in to CNY Central news on CW6 at 10:00, and NBC3 and CBS5 news at 11:00 tonight for complete election results. You can also find results online right here at CNYcentral.com, on Twitter @CNYcentral, and on Facebook at Facebook.com/CNYcentral.

Dookhan is arraigned, released after posting bail
BOSTON (WHDH) -- Annie Dookhan has been the target of an investigation for years, but police arrested her Friday for fear she might take off after allegedly making a $4,000 withdrawal.
The 34-year-old chemist at the heart of the lab scandal is charged with obstructing justice and sources tell 7News that Dookhan has stopped cooperating with investigators. She was arraigned in a courtroom Friday filled with family members.
"What she would do is she would take narcotics, maybe 15 or 20 or 25 samples at a time. And she would group them in areas that she believed- here are 25 cocaine samples and instead of testing all 25, she would test five of them and then she would call all 25 of them cocaine," said prosecutor, John Verner.
The prosecution also revealed that Dookhan's tests would come back positive even though the same batch tested by Boston and state police would have negative results.
"She would take known cocaine from an area that she knew was cocaine and actually add them to a sample to make it cocaine," said Verner.
Dookhan worked at the state drug lab in Jamaica Plain since 2003. Two years ago she came under investigation based on one of her co-worker's observations.
The lab shut down in August when the severity of Dookhan's alleged evidence tampering came to light. The judicial system was thrown into chaos and possibly tens of thousands of convictions were compromised.
Dookhan was fitted with an ankle bracelet while in her cell. Her family posted the $10,000 cash bail and she was released late Friday after signing probation papers. She fought through a crowd of reporters to beat her 6 p.m. to 6 a.m. curfew.
She is a naturalized citizen, but was told she had to turn in her passport to authorities. She is due back in court on Dec. 3.

Hey all, I've recently begun charting a few of my band's songs with Reaper, but I've come across questions in regards to slide notes and sustained notes.
There is a lot of acoustic picking, sliding, and strumming for each guitar part and I am wondering how exactly these should be charted.
For a few slides I've simply sustained the start note gem right until the note has completely slid into the next one, and then HOed to that new note. Is this the correct way to handle slides in Rockband? I've been trying to reference other disc and dlc songs in Rockband and Rockband 2, but I am at a loss trying to find some good examples.
I also have a question regarding rhythm guitar strumming.
Because I actually play rhythm guitar on a few of the songs, I've tried to match the up and down strokes to my actual strumming IRL. It works pretty well and feels natural when pretending to play the chart (haven't exported a song and played it on an XBox yet).
My question is how I should chart the chord formations. I have a bunch of 1-3's and 1-2's and that feels pretty natural for emulating chord formation...BUT I am not sure if I should sustain each and every note that is strummed with each chord until the next strum.
IRL it makes sense that you wouldn't take your fingers off of the fretboard when letting the chord ring out in between strums.
I already charted some non-sustained strumming as well, to emulate certain strums that happen in between chord changes (like strumming open notes and the like)
So that's my quandary with guitar charting right now.
I am sure I will come to the same questions when charting bass...as there are several slides on that as well.
I am thoroughly enjoying my time with Reaper and the charting process overall...It's pretty fun trying to transcribe how you play something with a real guitar into Rockband's gem charts.
Thanks for your time, and I hope I can get some feedback and help on this.

He'll yes she is beautiful I love you Kristen, those Brits should bath first before they say anything naughty about you,you are sexy in everyway. I wish you and Rob all the best. You stay true to yourself no matter what they say.
she may not be as sexy as Marian Rivera or kim kardashian but she's definitely sexy on her her tiny way. pple who post this most definitely be gay or hate her alot
Kristen is certainly pretty, BUT that does not automatically mean she is sexy. She is so awkward and always looks uncomfortable...I totally agree that she has ZERO sexy appeal. Sophia Vergara is sexy. K-Stew is not!
Like the saying goes "beauty is in the eye of the beholder " but i'm not sure what these englishmen were looking at but , what i see is a natural very pretty young woman . Anyway have you seen those english guys ...... 4 out 10 are actually good looking and sexy the rest are just average . What you should ask them is "who do they think is the sexiest american actress " cause obviously they are not including their own in this stupid poll !!!
Well. I think she's hot. Its my opinion. I work at a movie theater and I pretty much hoard all the posters with her face on it that I can find.
I don't get it. She is the most beautiful and sexy girl I've ever seen. What is wrong with these qusi-sexual Brits. What are they looking at ?

I booked this Hostel for my daughter, she told me she had a very bad experience and moved out after one night. The manager or owner of the hostel was extremely unpleasant and not nice to deal with. The hostel was not at the location given, the owner was agressive in demanding money immediately on arrival for all the nights booked. This hostel should not be on your list, you obviously did not check it out, I have lost confidence in your website as a result of this experience.

Low rates on Skype-enabled 3 mobiles in the UK and Ireland
As you may have heard, something groundbreaking's happening in the land of 3.
A software update being pushed to handsets in the UK and Ireland from tomorrow will let you call landlines and mobiles abroad using Skype's paid-for services from your 3 Skypephone or Skype-enabled 3 mobile. 3 Skypephone users – both S1 and S2 – along with people using Skype on 3 mobiles will be able to take advantage of Skype's low rates to stay in touch with non Skype users around the world.
Now you'll have no excuse not to get in touch with your friends, relatives and colleagues, even if they're on a beach in Sydney or a hotel in Rome

wapside47861 said 5 years ago
Will this update for skypeout work on pay as you go aswell? It would be nice to make clear if they are not. Is skypein enabled on skypephone ?
peterparkes said 5 years ago
Yes – it will work on Pay As You Go as well as Pay Monthly. And I'm afraid you can't use online numbers (SkypeIn) on Skype-enabled 3 mobiles at the moment.
gd-jac said 5 years ago
A workaround for SkypeIn numbers would be to forward the calls to your mobile at the local rate isn't it ? Though if SkypeIn numbers were available I would ditch my current device immediately…
joetedweb said 5 years ago
How do I get the update?
noimden said 5 years ago
Will it be also available in Italy with tre italia? If so, When could we expect to have this upgrade?

The more that relevant websites link to your website, the better Google likes you. It is authority by association. Think of it this way: you have a LinkedIn profile and the more your colleagues/clients recommend you the better your professional standing. Similarly, when a website links to your website, Google considers it a recommendation or a vote of confidence and increases your ranking.
The best way to get back-links is to create valuable content; create it and they will link! Additionally, you can create social media accounts that link back to your website. Yet another proven method is to submit your website URL to web-directories with decent Google page rank, ex: Yahoo and D'moz. (more…)

A vascular birthmark is a discoloration of the skin that is caused by blood vessels that don't form correctly. They are present at birth or appear shortly after birth. There are three major types of vascular birthmarks:
Vascular birthmarks are painless and usually don't cause any symptoms other than the skin discoloration.
A strawberry hemangioma may cause other symptoms if its location interferes with a vital organ. For example, a lesion on the neck could press down on the trachea and interfere with breathing, and a hemangioma near the eye or on the ear could limit vision or affect hearing.
In rare cases, a port-wine stain is associated with other abnormalities. For example, some children who have a stain around the eyelids also have Sturge-Weber syndrome, a condition that is associated with glaucoma, seizures and other problems.
A doctor can diagnose these birthmarks by looking at them. When strawberry hemangiomas or port-wine stains are located in an area that could affect organs beneath them or near them, the doctor may order additional imaging studies such as a computed tomography (CT) scan or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).
Salmon patches usually fade within the first year of life. Strawberry hemangiomas get larger for 6 to 12 months, sometimes rapidly. Then the growth stops and the hemangioma eventually shrinks and disappears. Ninety percent of strawberry hemangiomas disappear by the time children are 9 years old. Sometimes a bit of extra loose skin remains in the spot where the strawberry hemangioma disappeared. Port-wine stains usually grow in proportion to the body and persist into adulthood. They may darken or thicken and develop tiny bumps.
There is no way to prevent vascular birthmarks.
No treatment is necessary for salmon patches, which usually fade within the first year of life. For most strawberry hemangiomas, the best cosmetic results are achieved when the birthmarks are allowed to go away naturally, without treatment. Some hemangiomas, for example those that interfere with a vital organ, are treated with laser therapy, oral or injected steroids, or surgical removal. Port-wine stains can be covered with opaque cosmetic creams such as Dermablend or Covermark. They also can be removed by laser therapy.
You should discuss treatment options with a dermatologist or plastic surgeon, who has expert experience in treating vascular birthmarks.
Birthmarks should be evaluated by a doctor soon after they appear and at regular intervals after that, particularly to monitor the growth of strawberry hemangiomas.
Salmon patches fade and have no associated problems. The majority of strawberry hemangiomas eventually disappear with no associated problems, although approximately 10% of people affected are left with minor skin changes. Laser therapy can remove most port-wine stains with minimal scarring or discoloration. For hemangiomas involving vital organs and port-wine stains associated with other abnormalities, the outlook varies. For the best outcome, seek early evaluation and treatment by an experienced doctor.
