This world can overwhelm us from every direction. We get overwhelmed by responsibilities, our work load, and relationships. By human conflict as we see it first hand, on the news, or on social media. By family. By the needs of our friends. By money, or lack thereof. By unexpected change. By the frailty of life. By the number of choices on the menu at The Cheesecake Factory.
Life can be a lot to handle. Before we know it, we're drowning in stress, confusion, panic, and fear. How can there possibly be decades left of this dysfunctional circus? Is there an end in sight? I remember once sitting on an airplane, thinking if I have 65 more years left to live, how in the world will I entertain my mind for that long? In that moment, I was overwhelmed by boredom (and the stench of my deodorant-averse seatmate). But there have been other times that I ask myself a different strain of that same question. How can I possibly handle 65 more years of making sure I have enough money? How can I put up with 65 more years of seeing people fight on the news? Of never knowing another soul as well as I know my own? Of missing my mom? Of struggling with the choice between fish tacos and filet mignon sliders? It honestly seems like a long, turbulent road.
Those buckets of negativity momentarily pour onto my head and overwhelm me, covering me from head to toe, but are quickly put to shame by the roaring ocean of something else. Something that completely immerses me. Something that takes the word "overwhelm" to a whole new level. As cheesy as it sounds, that something else is love.
Nothing hits me quite as hard as love. It reminds me of sitting on beach chair just out of reach of the waves. Most waves roll about five feet from your toes before retreating back into the sea. Close, but nothing to worry about. Every once in a while, a wave touches your toes, and you think Whoa, that was a big one! Maybe that's money. Or death. Or betrayal. And then, with no warning, that one huge wave crashes ashore and absolutely puts the other waves to shame. It plows through your chair and knocks over your Bud Light Lime sitting in the sand. Your feet sink into
quicksand puddles and your towel sops up 15 pounds of water. Your butt gets wet through the flimsy, drooping fabric. Once that wave hits, all those other waves that touched your toes seem like puny little teasers.
Sometimes I think that the negatives of life are overwhelming, but those feelings are minuscule compared to the rush I feel when overwhelmed by love. Last weekend, I traveled to NYC to take part in a walk to raise money for bladder cancer research. As most of you know, my mother passed away from bladder cancer in 2012. A few hours before I boarded the bus to the Big Apple, I received an unexpected and perfect job offer that would allow me to move back to Virginia Beach, be close to family, and support myself in a little oasis of a one bedroom apartment right on the water. I was beyond excited. I was not excited, however, to tell my current employer. My boss has become something of a BFF/cool uncle/fun cousin in my life, so the excitement about the move started turning into dread of telling him that I'm leaving. Fear began washing to shore. A wave of uncertainty lapped at my feet. As the negativity threatened to reach my chair, I pulled up my email while the bus pulled out of Union Station. Lo and behold, up popped a new email from my boss. In it, he commended my coworker and me for how we handled a tough situation in the office that morning, and closed by wishing me the best during the walk in NYC, saying he "only wishes he had met my mother so he could tell her what a fine person she raised." There it was. The tsunami of love knocked me flat on my back. And nothing hits my heart harder than when someone suggests that I am a reflection of how extraordinary my mom was.
The tsunami materialized through my tear ducts, so I turned my head towards the bus window and began the Dramatic Silent Cry. Thank God it was pitch black on the bus and I didn't have a seatmate. That would've been real awkward. I wasn't crying because I was sad to say goodbye to such an awesome boss (which I am), but because I realized how lucky I am that the mutual love for friends and coworkers makes it so hard to say goodbye.
Then, because of how emotions work, the love-tears expanded into more thoughts about cry-worthy love—about the dozens of people who donated money to our bladder cancer walking team in memory of my mother, about my friends and family awaiting me in New York for the walk, about my friends and family in Virginia Beach who are so excited to welcome me back, about the Starbucks barista that calls me by name every morning, and about the girl in the line at Target who let me go first because I only had one item. How could I possibly hold it together with all of that love swirling about?
I know, I know. I'm an emotional disaster. You must be new to Generation grannY if this comes as a surprise.
All of this is to say that the moments you feel overwhelmed by sadness, bitterness, boredom, fear, annoyance, or anger absolutely pale in comparison to what you'll feel if you contemplate the amount of love in this world. We're so easily distracted by the negatives in life, thanks to the news, articles on Facebook, and our natural inclination as humans to be slightly depressing. Just like waves rolling to the shore, however, those little negative ripples barely reaching your feet are never as impressive or worthy of your attention as that big wave. You can will the Big Kahuna to crash ashore by actively recognizing the love in your life, or sometimes—as was the case on my bus ride—it'll hit you when you least expect it, overwhelming you with the most important thing in life. And boy is it refreshing.

"Ah. Good evening," sighed Diane von Furstenberg at the podium at the start of the Council of Fashion Designers of America award ceremony last night at Lincoln Center. She was dressed in a fluttery blue dress with colorful stripes. "Everyone is in such a good mood."
The awards at Alice Tully Hall were scheduled to begin at 7:30 but didn't start until about a quarter after 8 p.m. After a few thank-yous to the sponsors and benefactors of the CFDA, Ms. von Furstenberg appealed to the designers: "The CFDA promotes diversity and health," she said. "I beg you to remember that when you're planning your next show."
Brooke Shields presented the Eugenia Sheppard award to Kim Hastreiter. "Just because you're cute, connected, rich and famous doesn't necessarily mean you design great stuff," Ms. Hastreiter told the audience of designers, celebrities, editors and bloggers.
After the winners for the Swarovski awards were announced (Jason Wu for womenswear, Alexander Wang for accessories, Richard Chai for menswear), the petite Dakota Fanning, wearing a white minidress, approached the microphone. "Hello, I'm Dakota Fanning," she said and was startled by the unwarranted applause that followed. Ms. Fanning announced Alexis Bittar as the winner of the Accessory Designer of the Year award.
Caroline Kennedy arrived to give the Eleanor Lambert award to Vogue's fashion director Tonne Goodman. "I'm here because I've idolized Tonne Goodman since I was 12 years old," said Ms. Kennedy, who attended school in New York with the editor when they were children. "You might wonder why her style has not rubbed off on me in all that time." Ms. Kennedy informed the audience that Ms. Goodman was the only person in their high-school yearbook to choose brown as her favorite color.
There was a grand tribute to Alexander McQueen, presented with a somber monologue from actress Sarah Jessica Parker. Models wearing Mr. McQueen's designs solemnly walked across the stage and lined up as a video of the designer waving and walking away was shown on the screen.
CFDA executive director Steven Kolb reminded the audience that Ms. von Furstenberg will remain as the CFDA's president. "We followed Mayor Bloomberg's example and extended her term," he said.
There were a few bloopers, too. Model Doutzen Kroes elicited giggles when she announced Ralph Lauren as the recipient of the Popular Vote Award for the second year in a row and, not being able to decide whether to use the word fashion or style, called him, "the embassador of American ftyle."
Isabella Rossellini presented the Fashion Icon award to Iman. She told a story of when she first met Iman in Paris long ago and Iman was not wearing make-up. "Iman without makeup looked like a 12-year-old dough… little girl," she said, confusing the word daughter and little girl. "Did she just call her a dog?" the woman sitting next to The Observer whispered.
Earlier, outside of the award show, pedestrian onlookers were screaming not for Iman, but her husband, David Bowie, who led Iman, wearing a binding black mermaid gown. Accepting the award, Iman said, "Now my husband is not the only icon in the family."
Anna Wintour presented the Geoffrey Beene Lifetime Achievement award to Michael Kors and recounted some of her favorite stories told to her by Mr. Kors. One was about when a socialite once told the designer, "Michael, you are my Gap."
Actor Anthony Mackie presented the Menswear Designer of the Year award. "This night has often been referred to as the Academy Awards of fashion, and as someone who has been to the Academy Awards, I can tell you it is exactly the same," he said. A video featuring the nominees superimposed over Oscar films like Avatar, Up in the Air and The Blind Side played onstage, and in the end, David Neville and Marcus Wainwright of Rag & Bone were the winners. Marc Jacobs, meanwhile, took the award for Womenswear Designer presented by Jessica Biel. "I don't much believe in prizes …" began Mr. Jacobs, accepting his ninth CFDA award.

At last, the bare earth is quickly disappearing under an array of foliage: mainly of bulbs, but also delphiniums, hydrangeas, penstemons, oriental poppies, foxgloves and snapdragons, all greening up and preparing for a summer's flowering; and by flowers that have already in bloom: drumstick primulas, aubretia, bergenia, forget-me-nots, tulips, narcissi, Muscari, hyacinths, honesty, the list goes on. This pleasant stage of spring seems to have been a long time coming, and the garden was set back somewhat by two weeks of snow, hail and overnight frosts, as I'm sure many of yours were too. The main victims have been my seedlings, some of which got waterlogged. But things are looking up. The sun is back. We achieved 14 degrees today. I may even have enough flowers to sacrifice for a Vase on Monday this week.
At the head of this large border is my usual collection of plants that I have recently acquired and are waiting to be planted. A white dicentra is destined for the shaded area at the back that is shaded in summer by the trees. A blue Anemone blanda will go in this area too, where I am hoping it will spread happily around. I have two Aquilegias that are for the middle of the bed, replacing the Bergenia 'Eroica' that I am intending to move to the new back garden beds. The colour of 'Eroica' is too bright here and would suit the back garden much better. I also think this of the 'Toronto' tulips, lovely though they are. My plan for 2016 is to consolidate the (loose) colour scheme for the front garden, keeping it low key in whites, purples, blues, yellows and apricots.
My hostas are coming up at last. Well, two of them are, 'Devon Green' and an unknown variety I found in a pot when we bought the flat. There is worryingly no sign of 'Patriot' yet, and I am hoping it hasn't been gobbled by subterranean slugs. Something keeps gobbling my tulips too – snapping whole buds off the stems and destroying them, as if to eat the insides. Who is this vandal? A bird? A mouse? A cat? How can I prevent this? Any advice would be gratefully received!
I am looking forward to the Morello cherry blossom, which should be out this week, given the forecast for sunshine and warmth. The pear tree in the back garden has already blossomed, and I am quite glad that I have inadvertently bought two trees that blossom at different times. Up by the bench I have two large pots of bulbs, both looking fabulous now, but I am already thinking hard as to what to do with them once the tulips, Muscari, hyacinths and narcissi are over. In fact I have several pots that require attention if I am to have lovely summer blooms from them in a month or two. And with next week off work, I shall have plenty of time to figure it out.
End of month view is hosted by Helen at The Patient Gardener.

Could the 3-5-2 be the setup that helps USA secure World Cup place?
ORLANDO, Fla. — The four-man defense has been the key staple of the U.S. national team for so long that it seemed unlikely that we would ever see a shift to a three-man back line, even in specific situations. It took the return of a former coach and the evolution of the player pool to make it a viable option in big matches for the first time in 15 years.
Perhaps it should come as no surprise that back then, at the 2002 World Cup, it was also Bruce Arena who enjoyed success playing with three central defenders. Soon after he took over for Jurgen Klinsmann at the end of 2016, he mentioned the 3-5-2 as a system we could see the USMNT use.
Arena wasn't kidding. We have seen the U.S. deploy three central defenders in some very big matches, most notably the 1-1 draw against Mexico at Estadio Azteca. He shifted to a 3-5-2 late in the recent road qualifier in Honduras, a move that helped produce Bobby Wood's vital equalizer, a goal that kept the Americans from having their qualifying hopes suffer a devastating blow.
As the Americans prepare for another crucial qualifier Friday against Panama, there is a very good chance we will see three center backs deployed in either a 3-5-2 or 3-4-3.
"It's always there," Arena said of the 3-5-2 option. "You learn to play it in different styles and certainly if we're chasing the game and we want to throw another player into the attack, it's always an option."
U.S. captain Michael Bradley added: "It certainly can be (an effective tool). Obviously we played three for 90 minutes against Mexico, we played three for the last 25 or 30 minutes against Honduras, but quite honestly the three we played against Mexico was different from the three we played against Honduras.
"It depends on who's on the field, it depends on the situation. It depends on if three actually mean five, or does three mean three? Are we starting that way, or are we going to it at the end of a game if we need to push things?"
Working in the formation's favor is the fact that the current U.S. player pool is stocked with players familiar with different variations of the system. Bradley and Jozy Altidore have featured prominently in a 3-5-2 for a large part of the MLS season with Toronto FC. Geoff Cameron has recently seen playing time in a three-man defense, and so has Omar Gonzalez. DeAndre Yedlin has played as a wing back in a 3-5-2 before, while Paul Arriola spent an entire season in that very role with Club Tijuana under manager Miguel Herrera. It was a positional shift, and tactical education, that has made playing in the system easy for Arriola.
That is at least part of the reason Arena gave Arriola the start against Mexico in June, on a night when the U.S. managed to neutralize El Tri in a system that at times varied between being a 3-4-3 and a 5-3-2.
"As a wing back, someone that likes to get up and down the field, I'm used to that as a right mid anyway," Arriola said. "As a starting point, being a little bit further back as a right wing back, I enjoy it. I think it allows us to create more numbers in the middle, overload the middle and then we can create width with wing backs.
"For me, I really enjoy it and I think against Honduras it was a good switch and a different type of energy that we were able to provide off the bench in a different type of game," Arriola added. "It wasn't me that partook in the goal, but it had a lot to do with it, the movements and freeing Christian [Pulisic] to roam around and be a little freer because he's the guy we want on the ball in the final third."
Even Pulisic has experience playing in a 3-5-2, having spent time there with Borussia Dortmund last season, both as a winger and in a central midfield role. He didn't make as much of an impact against Mexico in June as most would have expected, but that could have also come down to him playing in short rest and at altitude. Against Honduras in September, Pulisic saw more of the ball and more opportunities when the Americans shifted to the 3-5-2 in the final 25 minutes or so.
Yedlin's return to the team provides a big boost, not only because he's the best right-back option in the pool, but also because he has the versatility to play as a wing back as well.
"At fullback you have a little bit more defensive responsibility," Yedlin said of the differences in roles. "You have to help out with your center backs a little bit more. As a wing back, you can be a little bit more aggressive with getting forward. As a wing back, when you get the ball wide, you usually don't have any help out wide. You have to be pretty good on your own out there. There are different challenges to each, so either one is fine with me."
The 3-5-2 system has shown some good things for the U.S. this year, but it is also less than a year since Klinsmann tried to deploy the U.S. in a three-man defense against Mexico in Columbus in November. It was an experiment that failed miserably, lasting less than a half, though the failure was seen more as a product of Klinsmann's poor preparation than the actual fault of the system itself.
"Like anything, tactically you can do anything you want as long as you work on it," Bradley said. "As long as things are made clear, guys understand the idea behind it. And so I think we've found a good way in some of these moments to have some flexibility, to tweak how we do things. To give ourselves the best chance to be successful."
As for as the current U.S. team is concerned, the 3-5-2 is a weapon the team is well-equipped to employ, making it something we are likely to see play a key role as the Americans look to secure their place at the 2018 World Cup.

Her Studio Turned Red
Another yummy neutral piece for the International Collage Exchange.
Her studio turned red; the water, the work table, the towels and even her fingers. She dared not touch her tea mug for fear it too would turn red. Cool reds, warm reds, earthy reds, red reds. Reds she didn't know she owned. Reds she mixed and said "hello" to. Were these yummy, or were these yucky? She didn't know. She was learning to cook with a new spice. In the photograph, Mother Nature had done a spectacular job of adding reds in all tones to a vibrant but neutral winter landscape. Mother's reds were so graceful, so eye-catching, and so satisfyingly perfect. Well, Mother had been at this longer than she. Intrigued, but spent for the evening, she was called to supper. Spaghetti red greeted her.

Spaghetti red - what I'll be thinking about for the rest of the evening!ReplyDelete

Wonderful collage. I love it. Can't wait to see what you do with red. I'm sure it will be dynamite. Maybe you could sprinkle it, like paprika. Or you could wiggle a noddle through it, like spaghetti.ReplyDelete
Now you have really wetted my appetite !!!ReplyDelete
Loved the way you describe your new adventure with reds.ReplyDelete
And a wonderful new piece,,I adore what you do with the inks!
Your work is something transcendental and has a very personal writing that take us to the work of Tàpies. The gesture, the transparency, the stain color of honey are like basic elements predominant in a plastics speech, calligraphy and transcendence. It is this desire to transform the materials and capture the spiritual side of things that go beyond the world of representation, all this distinguish your work.ReplyDelete

Clever composition (something minimal about it)and cleverly chosen words. Your page is always gorgeous.ReplyDelete
Jeane: It's experimental over here!ReplyDelete
Dave: Thanks Dave. Minimalism is inheritably my style. I had fun with the words.
I'm usually not much for neutrals, but I really LOVE this.ReplyDelete
Oh and spaghetti red is so yummy.
Jazz: Thanks for visiting. And thank you for the nice complement. I like the dark richness of spaghetti red. More of a neutral than a bright scarlet.ReplyDelete
Stunning and regal collage.ReplyDelete

What does it say about restaurant if you dine once at a restaurant and then go back 4 hours later for another meal? Must have made a good impression. Well that was my experience at Yardbird Las Vegas. While it was conveniently located in our hotel, the Venetian, the food, decor and service are what brought us back for seconds.
The mix of lounge seating in vintage, rustic-chic furniture and high top communal tables, made it the perfect setting for every meal period. It was not what you would expect from the flashiness of most Las Vegas restaurants and was actually a welcome break from the bright lights and opulence of the casinos. It was comfortable, welcoming and most of all the food was very satisfying.
The menu had a great selection of southern comfort dishes with a modern twist. The cocktails (not pictured here) were hand crafted and many were served in mason jars. They made you want to be sitting on a porch in the south on a hot day – the Blackberry Bourbon Lemonade was delicious!
We shared all the dishes on the large communal table – my favorite way to dine. The food was definitely heavy (artery clogging), but it was complex in flavor, creatively presented and delicious!
Not sure when I will be back in Las Vegas, but I am sure I will make it back to Yardbird when I do go!
Overall the shining stars were the "BLT", Fried Chicken Biscuits, and the Pot of Pickles! It was a great spot for groups with its tall communal tables and sharable menu items.

WASHINGTON — The Defense Department's inspector general said on Wednesday that it was investigating complaints that the acting defense secretary, Patrick M. Shanahan, had been promoting his former employer, Boeing, and disparaging its military contractor competitors.
The investigation will examine complaints filed last week by a watchdog group, Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington. Dwrena K. Allen, a spokeswoman for the inspector general's office, said that investigators had informed Mr. Shanahan of the inquiry.
[Sign up for the weekly At War newsletter to receive stories about duty, conflict and consequence.]
Mr. Shanahan told lawmakers last week that he supported an investigation.
The investigation complicates what is already an uphill battle for Mr. Shanahan's effort to become the next permanent defense secretary. As recently as last week, Defense Department officials believed that President Trump was about to formally nominate Mr. Shanahan for the job left vacant by Jim Mattis, who resigned in December.
But as Mr. Shanahan's troubles mount, the White House does not appear to have a ready and able alternative to him.
Jim Talent, the former senator of Missouri, is one name which White House officials have discussed, according to former and current administration officials. Also under consideration is Robert L. Wilkie, the Veterans Affairs secretary. But Mr. Wilkie is viewed as doing a good job in a troubled department and Mr. Trump is loath to remove him from his post, the officials said.
The deadly crash of a Boeing 737 Max 8 jet in Ethiopia, along with growing complaints that his cozy relationship with his former employers at the detriment of other military contractors, puts Mr. Shanahan's fate in limbo.
Mr. Shanahan served as the Pentagon's deputy secretary under Mr. Mattis, a job that required Senate confirmation. Before that, he spent 30 years in commercial aviation and business at Boeing. He had hoped to bring his reputation as a corporate problem solver — including helping introduce the 787 Dreamliner — to the Defense Department.
Several Defense Department officials predicted this week that it was unclear whether Mr. Shanahan could win Senate confirmation for the Pentagon's top job, given his longstanding ties with Boeing and the fallout from the crash of the Ethiopian Airlines plane.
The transportation secretary, Elaine L. Chao, called on Tuesday for her agency's internal watchdog to investigate the process by which the Federal Aviation Administration in 2017 approved designs for the 737 Max. Lawmakers in Congress also are pushing for a review, while Canada is looking into its approval of the plane's American certification.
The specific allegations that the Defense Department's inspector general is examining revolve around complaints, first reported in Politico, that Mr. Shanahan disparaged competitors of Boeing during meetings at the Pentagon with senior national security officials and lawmakers, two United States officials said.
Senator Elizabeth Warren, Democrat of Massachusetts and a member of the Armed Services Committee that would consider Mr. Shanahan's confirmation if he is nominated, said she alerted the Pentagon's internal watchdog after hearing that he "may have advocated on behalf of his former employer, Boeing, while serving as the acting defense secretary."
"The American people should be able to trust that government officials are working for them — not for big defense contractors," Ms. Warren, who is running for president, said in a statement.
While Mr. Mattis resigned in protest of Mr. Trump's policies — including the surprise announcement that American troops would withdraw from Syria — Mr. Shanahan has held the line for the president.
As the deputy defense secretary, Mr. Shanahan made clear that "we are not the Department of No," as he told officials after the administration announced plans to create a new stand-alone Space Force at the Pentagon. It has since been moved to the oversight of the Air Force.
Since becoming acting defense secretary, Mr. Shanahan has raised the ire of some lawmakers. Last month, Senator James M. Inhofe, Republican of Oklahoma and the chairman of the Armed Services Committee, said he did not believe Mr. Shanahan shared the "humility" of Mr. Mattis but did not elaborate. Senator Lindsey Graham, Republican of South Carolina, also clashed with Mr. Shanahan last month over the planned troop withdrawal from Syria.
Last week, Mr. Shanahan appeared in front of Mr. Inhofe's committee to sell the Pentagon's proposed $750 billion budget for the 2020 fiscal year, which is geared toward combating threats from Russia and China and modernizing a military that has long focused on counterinsurgency conflicts.
Instead, senators accosted him on a range of issues, including Mr. Trump's move to take billions of dollars from the Defense Department for a border wall, and the Pentagon's decision to push for weaker standards on chemicals in drinking water.

Rise of socialist ideas (up to Marx); spread of Marxian Socialism (Part 1)
- Socialism is a social and economic doctrine that calls for public rather than private ownership or control of property and natural resources. Socialism is characterised by social ownership and/or social control of the means of production and co-operative management of the economy, as well as a political theory and movement that aims at the establishment of such a system. "Social ownership" may refer to cooperative enterprises, common ownership, state ownership, citizen ownership of equity, or any combination of these.
- According to the socialist view, individuals do not live or work in isolation but live in cooperation with one another. Furthermore, everything that people produce is in some sense a social product, and everyone who contributes to the production of a good is entitled to a share in it. Society as a whole, therefore, should own or at least control property for the benefit of all its members. This conviction puts socialism in opposition to capitalism, which is based on private ownership of the means of production and allows individual choices in a free market to determine how goods and services are distributed.
- A socialist economy is based on the principle of production for use, to directly satisfy economic demand and human needs, and objects are valued by their use-value, as opposed to the principle of production for profit and accumulation of capital.
Criticism of Capitalism
- Socialists complain that capitalism necessarily leads to unfair and exploitative concentrations of wealth and power in the hands of the relative few who emerge victorious from free-market competition—people who then use their wealth and power to reinforce their dominance in society. Because such people are rich, they may choose where and how to live, and their choices in turn limit the options of the poor. As a result, terms such as individual freedom and equality of opportunity may be meaningful for capitalists but can only ring hollow for working people, who must do the capitalists' bidding if they are to survive. As socialists see it, true freedom and true equality require social control of the resources that provide the basis for prosperity in any society.
- Socialists argue that capitalism consists of irrational activity, such as the purchasing of commodities only to sell at a later time when their price appreciates, rather than for consumption, even if the commodity cannot be sold at a profit to individuals in need; therefore, a crucial criticism often made by socialists is that making money, or accumulation of capital, does not correspond to the satisfaction of demand.
- The fundamental criterion for economic activity in capitalism is the accumulation of capital for reinvestment in production; this spurs the development of new, non-productive industries that don't produce use-value and only exist to keep the accumulation process afloat, such as the spread of the financial industry, contributing to the formation of economic bubbles
- Socialists argue that the accumulation of capital generates waste through externalities that require costly corrective regulatory measures. For Example: Excessive disparities in income distribution lead to social instability and require costly corrective measures in the form of redistributive taxation, which incurs heavy administrative costs while weakening the incentive to work, inviting dishonesty and increasing the likelihood of tax evasion while the corrective measures reduce the overall efficiency of the market economy.
Criticism of Socialism
- Economic liberals view private enterprise, private ownership of the means of production, and the market exchange as central to conceptions of freedom and liberty. Socialism impedes technological progress due to stifled competition.
- The more even distribution of wealth through the nationalization of the means of production advocated by certain socialists cannot be achieved without a loss of political, economic, and human rights. To achieve control over means of production and distribution of wealth, it is necessary for such socialists to acquire significant powers of coercion. It is argued that the road to socialism leads society to totalitarianism. The absence of voluntary economic activity makes it too easy for repressive political leaders to grant themselves coercive powers.
- Some critics of socialism argue that income sharing reduces individual incentives to work; incomes should be individualized as much as possible. Critics of socialism have argued that in any society where everyone holds equal wealth there can be no material incentive to work because one does not receive rewards for a work well done.
- Socialist systems based on economic planning are unfeasible because they lack the information to perform economic calculations in the first place, due to a lack of price signals and a free-price system, which are required for rational economic calculation.
Origin of Socialism
- The origins of socialism as a political movement has its origins in the French Revolution of 1789 and the changes brought about by the Industrial Revolution, although it has precedents in earlier movements and ideas.
- Socialist or communist ideas certainly play an important part in the ideas of the ancient Greek philosopher Plato, whose Republic depicts an austere society in which men and women of the "guardian" class share with each other not only their few material goods but also their spouses and children.
- The French Revolution was preceded and influenced by the works of Jean-Jacques Rousseau, whose Social Contract famously began, "Man is born free, and he is everywhere in chains." Rousseau is credited with influencing socialist thought, but it was Babeuf, and his Conspiracy of Equals, who is credited with providing a model for left-wing and communist movements of the 19th century.
- In the period right after the French Revolution, activists and theorists like Francois Babeuf influenced the early French labour and socialist movements. His newspaper "the tribune of the people" was best known for his advocacy for the poor and calling for a popular revolt against the Directory, the government of France. He was a leading advocate for democracy, the abolition of private property and the equality of results. Babeuf was executed for his role in the Conspiracy of the Equals. He is also called father of socialism.
- In Britain, Thomas Paine proposed a detailed plan to tax property owners to pay for the needs of the poor in Agrarian Justice while Charles Hall wrote The Effects of Civilization on the People in European States, denouncing capitalism´s effects on the poor of his time.
Growth of Socialist Movement
Early or Utopian Socialism
- Utopian socialism is a label used to define the first currents of modern socialist thought as exemplified by the work of Henri de Saint-Simon, Charles Fourier, and Robert Owen.
- Utopian socialism is often described as the presentation of visions and outlines for imaginary or futuristic ideal societies, with positive ideals being the main reason for moving society in such a direction.
- One key difference between "utopian socialists" and other socialists is that utopian socialists generally don't believe any form of class struggle or political revolution is necessary for socialism to emerge. Utopians believe that people of all classes can voluntarily adopt their plan for society if it is presented convincingly. They feel their form of cooperative socialism can be established among like-minded people within the existing society.
- Later socialists and critics of utopian socialism viewed "utopian socialism" as not being grounded in actual material conditions of existing society.
- Utopian socialists never actually used this name to describe themselves; the term "Utopian socialism" was introduced by Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels in The Communist Manifesto in 1848, referring to all socialist ideas that simply presented a vision and distant goal of an ethically just society as utopian.
Saint Simon
- One of the first utopian socialists was the French aristocrat Saint-Simon (born 1760, Paris). Saint-Simon did not call for public ownership of productive property, but he did advocate public control of property through central planning, in which scientists, industrialists, and engineers would anticipate social needs and direct the energies of society to meet them. According to Saint-Simon, such a system would be more efficient than capitalism.
- Saint-Simon believed that history moves through a series of stages, each of which is marked by a particular arrangement of social classes and a set of dominant beliefs. Thus, feudalism, with its landed nobility and monotheistic religion, was giving way to industrialism, a complex form of society characterized by its reliance on science, reason, and the division of labour. In such circumstances, Saint-Simon argued, it makes sense to put the economic arrangements of society in the hands of its most knowledgeable and productive members, so that they may direct economic production for the benefit of all.
- In his last years and in the period after his death, Saint-Simon's ideas, which gave prominence to art as a prized aspect of work, interested numerous artists and musicians
Robert Owen
- Another early socialist, Robert Owen, was himself an industrialist. Owen first attracted attention by operating textile mills in New Lanark, Scot., that were both highly profitable and, by the standards of the day, remarkably humane. Child labor and corporal punishment were abolished, and villagers were provided with decent homes, schools and evening classes, free health care, and affordable food.
- He wrote about his ideas in his book A New View of Society, which was published in 1813
- Owen's fundamental belief was that human nature is not fixed but formed. If people are selfish, depraved, or vicious, it is because social conditions have made them so. Change the conditions, he argued, and people will change; teach them to live and work together in harmony, and they will do so. Thus, Owen set out in 1825 to establish a model of social organization, New Harmony, on land he had purchased in the U.S. state of Indiana. This was to be a self-sufficient, cooperative community in which property was commonly owned.
- New Harmony failed within a few years, taking most of Owen's fortune with it, but he soon turned his attention to other efforts to promote social cooperation—trade unions and cooperative businesses, in particular.
- Owen's main contribution to socialist thought was the view that human social behavior is not fixed or absolute, and that human beings have the free will to organize themselves into any kind of society they wished.
Charles Fourier
- François-Marie-Charles Fourier (1772 – 1837), a French clerk whose imagination, if not his fortune, was as extravagant as Owen's. Modern society breeds selfishness, deception, and other evils, Fourier charged, because institutions such as marriage, the male-dominated family, and the competitive market confine people to repetitive labour or a limited role in life and thus frustrate the need for variety. By setting people at odds with each other in the competition for profits the market in particular frustrates the desire for harmony.
- Accordingly, Fourier envisioned a form of society that would be more in keeping with human needs and desires. Such a "phalanstery," as he called it, would be a largely self-sufficient community of about 1,600 people organized according to the principle of "attractive labour," which holds that people will work voluntarily and happily if their work engages their talents and interests.
- All tasks become tiresome at some point, however, so each member of the phalanstery would have several occupations, moving from one to another as his interest waned and waxed. Fourier left room for private investment in his utopian community, but every member was to share in ownership, and inequality of wealth, though permitted, was to be limited.
- He had no money to embark upon such ventures as Owen did. He kept onn waiting for a person who would give him money for putting idea into practice but n one came.
- Fourierism manifested itself in the middle of the 19th century where literally hundreds of communes (phalansteries) were founded on fourierist principles in France, N. America, Mexico, S. America, Algeria, Yugoslavia, etc." Fourier inspired the founding of the communist community called La Reunion near present-day Dallas, Texas as well as several other communities within the United States of America.
Other Early Socialists
- Other socialists in France began to agitate and organize in the 1830s and '40s; they included Louis Blanc, Louis-Auguste Blanqui, and Pierre-Joseph Proudhon.
- Blanc, the author of The Organization of Labour, 1839, promoted a scheme of state-financed but worker-controlled "social workshops" that would guarantee work for everyone and lead gradually to a socialist society.
- Blanqui, by contrast, was a revolutionary who spent more than 33 years in prison for his insurrectionary activities. Socialism cannot be achieved without the conquest of state power, he argued, and this conquest must be the work of a small group of conspirators. Once in power, the revolutionaries would form a temporary dictatorship that would confiscate the property of the wealthy and establish state control of major industries.
- Proudhon in What Is Property?, 1840, memorably declared, "Property is theft!" This assertion was not quite as bold as it appears, however, since Proudhon had in mind not property in general but property that is worked by anyone other than its owner. In contrast to a society dominated by capitalists and absentee landlords, Proudhon's ideal was a society in which everyone had an equal claim, either alone or as part of a small cooperative, to possess and use land and other resources as needed to make a living. Such a society would operate on the principle of mutualism, according to which individuals and groups would exchange products with one another on the basis of mutually satisfactory contracts. All this would be accomplished, ideally, without the interference of the state, for Proudhon was an anarchist who regarded the state as an essentially coercive institution. Yet his anarchism did not prevent him from urging Napoleon III to make free bank credit available to workers for the establishment of mutualist cooperatives—a proposal the emperor declined to adopt.
Note: Anarchism is a political philosophy that advocates stateless societies, often defined as self-governed, voluntary institution. Anarchism holds the state to be undesirable, unnecessary, or harmful.
- Mikhail Bakunin, the father of modern anarchism, was a libertarian socialist, a theory by which the workers would directly manage the means of production through their own productive associations. There would be "equal means of subsistence, support, education, and opportunity for every child, boy or girl, until maturity, and equal resources and facilities in adulthood to create his own well-being by his own labor."
- While many socialists emphasized the gradual transformation of society, most notably through the foundation of small, utopian communities, a growing number of socialists became disillusioned with the viability of this approach and instead emphasized direct political action. Early socialists were united, however, in their desire for a society based on cooperation rather than competition.

Bringing an MBS Perspective to Pilates: An Interview with MBS Practitioner Jane Meek
by Danielle Hill
Pilates is an application of the body, whereas MBS to me is how to be as a body in the broadest sense, in the way that we come into the world with all these capabilities.
Jane Meek is a graduate of the MBS Foundation training (2011) and a Body Control Pilates Instructor and Remedial Massage and Advanced Myofascial Therapist based in Glasgow, Scotland. In her work with clients and students in these two distinct contexts, Jane has described MBS as "running through everything and underpinning everything rather than the other way around."
Prior to her entrance into the world of bodywork and movement education, Jane worked in translation and in the wine industry.Continue reading

GE S-1000: General Electric Aircraft Engines Quality System Requirements
If you are interested in supplying quality systems to General Electric Aircraft Engines, you need to adhere to certain standards and specifications. The "Bible" for discovering exactly what GEAE expects is GE S-1000. This does not mean it is the only document providing quality requirements. It is not. However, it the starting point from which all suppliers must work.
What Does the Document Establish?
The document establishes for suppliers of various components the minimum quality requirements for the systems for suppliers. It provides all suppliers with a documented procedure. The intent of this is simple – to provide clarity and introduce the basics of GE quality.
Overall, the document ensures the supplier completely comprehends the quality controls it must meet to satisfy the existing requirements of GEAE engineering. The requirements within the document do not remain static. Periodic updates occur. This results in revisions to the quality system and its demand for compliance from the supplier.
Who Does It Apply To?
The document is addressed to "suppliers." Further elaboration indicates the term encompasses the following::
- Supplier participants
- Revenue share participants
- Material suppliers
- Ground support equipment suppliers
- Distributors
- Warehouses
Although each of these groups is also expected to comply with other applicable requirements, this primary document always will take precedence. For example, Revenue Share Participants and Supplier Participants also have to adhere to the constraints indicated in S-477, and Material suppliers have to follow the conditions of ISO9001. However, if a conflict between the documents occurs, GE S-1000 always takes precedence.
Compliance, GEAE and GE S-1000
If you wish to be a supplier to GEAE, your company will have to adhere to specific standards. In particular, you will need to provide proof that they meet if not exceed the requirements clearly stated and specified in GE S-1000 Quality System. While your company will also have to follow the demands made in other GE documents, this is the primary and essential document for quality system requirements.

i would be against it. Unless all the States had similar criteria for issuing concealed carry permits. And they don't
Bill would allow concealed weapons across state lines | TheHill
Add this to the interstate handgun purchase and I'll be one happy camper.
I know this idea leads to the idea of a national registry and we shouldn't need permits at all, but I don't think well get that anytime soon.
Here in the northeast, it is easy to bump across state lines and no state recognizes permits from their neighbor. It is frustrating to say the least.
I hope this passes.
"Bother", said Poo, chambering another round.
i would be against it. Unless all the States had similar criteria for issuing concealed carry permits. And they don't
Human Scum. Proud Never Trumper
Don't most states allow reciprocity for concealed carry permit holders already?
Not really, especially in the Northeast. Which makes it difficult. I can easily be through over a half dozen states in a day of driving, so trying to have non resident licenses for each state would get pretty expensive. The biggest thing is accidently bumping over a border and becoming a felon. I've accidently crossed from Vermont (no license required - law states it is illegal to commit a crime with a firearm or something commonsenical like that) into New York State. That could have been bad had I been stopped / searched.
As for the idea of standard criteria, I think since it is a right, or supposed to be anyway, it sould be as easy as possible.
"Bother", said Poo, chambering another round.
Ahh, here we go.
Concealed Carry Permit Reciprocity Maps - USA Carry
I guess reciprocity is one of the perks of living in the midwest. I don't see much chance of this bill passing unless the Feds were to come up with a standardized set of concealed carry requirements and curricula however.
I'm actually ok with that taking place. Even as an avid gun owner, I would be totally on board with requiring a couple days of education and a basic skills demonstration as a prerequisite to owning firearms, or in this case concealed carry.
I really need to send in my Utah app...
Or it could be the basis for the argument that any criteria is an infringement.
"Bother", said Poo, chambering another round.
Because felons and criminals obey the law right? and places that have the strictest requirements also tend to have the most amount of crime.
"Bother", said Poo, chambering another round.
Voting certainly requires that a person register, and vote at the prescribed place and time, while felons and minors are often restricted from voting. Should people be able to vote willy nilly in whatever fashion they individually choose without identifying themselves?
Firearms can certainly be treated in a manner that requires a prospective owner to demonstrate that they possess a basic understanding of which end the bullet comes out without running afoul of the 2nd amendment.
But your argument feels like you are saying locking your door is worthless since a determined felon can still break into your house.
Locks on doors and legal restrictions on guns are not absolute solutions, but they do raise the bar for the time and effort required to circumvent them. Sensible regulations that raise the bar for criminals without becoming too burdensome for the average guy seem worth pursuing even if they aren't airtight solutions.
Funny but there seems to be an argument about the legality of asking people for an id to vote. As for the training requirements, I would be fine with them if they worked. Instead they wind up being a requirement to jump through legal hoops and/or pay fees in order to exercise your right. In the very worst cases they can be seen as a veiled attempt to restrict firearms ownership from "those people", is NOT those in power.
making the requirement reasonable it still accessible to all just like a drivers license would be fine but for some reason people think that a firearm is much more likely to cause injury or death then someone texting behind the wheel, making the requirement reasonable it still accessible to all just like a drivers license would be fine but for some reason people think that of iron is much more likely to cause injury or death than someone texting behind the wheel. guns are a simple tool no worse or better than those behind them. They aren't the magic wand that needs a PhD to operate and like a comedian says you just can't fix stupid.

A while back I went on a search to find some vegan-proof lunch spots in Antwerp. I totally forgot to tell you about a new-ish little place (opened in 4 months ago) until I came across these pictures in iPhoto (somewhere in between the 20,000 pics - and yes I often make back-ups + delete haha). Located in one of my favourite streets of Antwerp, Sint Jorispoort (coincidentally close to another vegan-proof spot), Carotterie 2000 is a small vegan/vegetarian place which serves up homemade breakfasts, lunches, juices and snacks. I was dying to try it, secretly hoping it would compare to my all-time favourite in Munich.
With high expectations, a big appetite and my vegan-partner-in-crime (my sister), I headed to Carotterie for lunch. Let me first get the negative out of the way. I was a little disappointed with the place itself. Firstly, the design is not my taste at all, a bit cold I would say, and not very cosy. Secondly, although it's small, there's room for people to sit but it's on bar chairs facing the wall, which is more of a "fastfood" way of eating. I was hoping for some cosy tables, but the design of the place doesn't really allow it. A missed opportunity because after eating there once I would only really do take-away instead of sitting down!
Okay now we got that out of the way, let's talk about the most important thing: the food! We picked out two fresh juices to start with, which were both delicious! Carotterie 2000 contains carrots, apple and ginger, which is always a winning combination. My sister's Greena Colada was even tastier: spinach, apple, parsley and pineapple. Sweet, fresh and green at the same time!
The menu has a few lunch suggestions, although the chef doesn't really stick to it all the time (I guess she likes the variety & freshness of a changing menu, which is fine with me!) Similarly to the Mae Deli, you can create your own plate with the different salads they have prepared that day. The "salads" are all displayed behind the counter so you can see them before choosing. My sister chose a big plate (€12.95) with a bit of everything! I tried it all but I can't tell which one was my favourite. My sister and I agree that it's the combination of them all which made it really tasty. If you're in for a big healthy lunch, I would choose this! (the small option is €7.95, I recommend this one unless you're really starving)
My lunch looked a little less colourful but it was definitely just tasty. Next to the salads, there's a range of sandwiches to choose from. There are 4 vegan sandwiches, one of which is the Vegan Aubergine Star. Of course I had to pick it (I love the names on the menu!) It's a fresh crunchy sourdough baguette (plus points for sourdough!) with grilled aubergine & zucchini, organic homemade vegan cashew ricotta (yum!), marinated sweet bell pepper and coriander. A perfect combination of different flavours, I loved it. I could easily have this for lunch every day!
Although my first impressions of Carotterie weren't great, I was pleasantly surprised by the food. It's fresh, full of flavour, vegan (most of it), colourful and homemade. Everything you could ask for in a lunch basically. Another good thing are the prices, which are very reasonable for the amount of preparation, work and fresh ingredients which are used. You can get breakfast for €4, a sandwich for €5. Prices you wouldn't even dare dream of in London at a vegan place. Although I don't think it's very cosy to sit down for food at Carotterie, I can definitely recommend this place for a good take-away lunch in Antwerp or a breakfast on-the-go.
ps. I haven't found any similar vegan places like this one in Antwerp, so if you have some tips let me know! (So far nothing compares to the Vegan Deli in Munich)

Samsung Highlight SGH-t749 (T-Mobile)
Samsung's latest touch screen handset, the Samsung Highlight SGH-t749, offers a responsive user interface and a pleasant, rubbery form factor. It's intended to sit below the excellent Samsung Behold SGH-T919 in T-Mobile's lineup, since the Highlight has a lower resolution camera. At the time of this review, the Highlight actually cost $30 more than the Behold, though I expect T-Mobile to discount it soon. Pricing issues aside, it's a solid handset for anyone looking for a colorful touch screen device and who's unwilling to pay for a smartphone data plan.
Read the full review of the Samsung Highlight SGH-t749 (T-Mobile).

I hate being told what to do. It is childish and perverse and contrary of me, I know, but as soon as someone tells me what I should do/think/say/feel, I want to NOT do that thing and instead do the exact opposite.
So naturally, I hate Valentine's Day.
Don't tell me what day I should celebrate the person I love most. I'll decide on my own, thank you very much.
I resist celebrating this holiday with everything in me.
Matt thinks this is funny, and therefore gives me Valentine's presents and cards that say things like "I know it's your favorite holiday"…
Then I begrudgingly get him gifts as well, but I give them to him on the 15th because I am nothing if not a stubborn pain in the ass.
In reality, though, the fact that he persists in making a big deal out of a day he knows I think is dumb also makes me begrudgingly love him more. I know that it is my very resistance to this holiday that makes him celebrate it as thoroughly as possible, and I do find that funny. Contrary to my bones, I am. And a true romantic, to boot.
And, man, I do love him. Not just today, but every day. More on other days than today, in fact. Today he mostly annoys me with his gifts and cards and flowers.
If I did have to send Valentine's Day cards, these are the ones I would want to send!

We in the Wetlands have good musicians. Even some excellent ones!
This time I will introduce you to a new rising star in our musical firmament. His name is Dotan.
Dotan Harpenau, in full. Israel born, but raised in the Netherlands.
He's young, he's a hunk, he's the son of a BN'er (B for Bekende = Well-known, N for Nederlander = Dutchman), and he's pretty ambitious. Not for him the instant-but-very-soon-forgotten 'fame' of participating in The Voice of Holland, but a gamble on EMI being interested enough to produce his first album.
They were.
'Dream Parade', his debut, was released in 2011, and the Dutch were...hm...a little less scathing than normal (we have a saying which says a lot about our mentality: 'do not show your head above the level of the hay, or it will be chopped off'; in other words, do not show yourself to be better than the next man). In fact quite a few of us (me!) sat up and pricked up our ears with interest. Who was this new singer-songwriter with the unusual name?
The single 'This Town' was played very frequently on 3FM (for hip young listeners) and Radio 2 (for middle-aged listeners) both. By the way, do admire the artwork accompanying the song - it's great.
Dotan meanwhile appeared on national TV, where his good looks didn't make things worse for him either. But that's not what he is about. He is a real musician, not a media-concept dreamed up in some office.
So for his second album, '7 Layers', he wrote the material himself. Let me quote him for you, to give you a feel for his mindset:
in the human anatomy,
complex layers of tissue that cover the surface of the body
and protect internal structures from contact with the environment.
The seven layers of skin are:
stratum basale,
stratum spinosum,
stratum granulosum,
stratum licidum,
stratum corneum,
the upper papillary layer
and the lower reticular layer.
The skin is also divided into three main layers:
and subcutaneous layer.
Once you peel your skin layer by layer you will get to the inner core.'
Admit it; you'll never think about your skin in the same way again, will you?
'7 Layers' (2014) features 12 songs. The first single released from the album was 'Fall', and it was aired reasonably well, but you cannot call it a hit single.
The link shows Dotan live, in the early morning radio program 'EversStaatOp538' at Radio 538.
But it was when flight MH17 was shot down over the Ukraine, and the total massive loss of life that ensued, that the second single, 'Home', took off like a rocket (no disrespectful pun intended!!!). It became the anthem for the hundreds of deceased who still had to be brought home to the Netherlands, but also to Australia and other countries. The version I've linked for you is once more a live one, from RTL Late Night on August 24th, 2014.
So. Just in case you are wondering which track is my favourite, it is the first one of the album: 'Let the River In'. I have a thing for rivers, and my Wetlands is a country criss-crossed by rivers, and I was born and work in a city on the mighty river Maas (in fact, overlook the Maas from my classroom windows!). This version was again recorded at the session at EversStaatOp538.
And here endeth the lesson on Dutch singer-songwriter Dotan. Do look up his songs on YouTube, and buy his albums, you could do worse. And then you can boast to your friends you have discovered this amazingly obscure but talented Dutch artist!

Shavuah Tov to all,
There is a lot I want to say tonight, and need to condense my message as best I can because there is so much to discuss here. So, first things first.
I listened again tonight to the shiur of Rabbi Richter, which I posted in my post "...Chasdei Hashem", in which he demonstrates that the torture perpetrated on the 10 boys by the Shabak and the entire establishment of the state of Israel is a continuation of the policy of the Labor Zionists, pre - and after - Independence. I, however, would go back even further: Barry Chamish states this very well in his most recent post, "Hitler lived ". No wonder there are no more Chovevei Zion, as Rav Richter points out! A lot more has been written about this very dark chapter of Labor Zionist history.
"The Labor Zionists cut a deal called The Transfer Agreement in which the Nazis agreed to ban all German Jewish parties but Labor Zionism in return for a massive no boycott of the Nazis after. Read the excellent book by Edwin Black before you mock the accusation. Without Labor Zionism, there would not have been the Holocaust as we know it.
Look what the head of Labor Zionists and thus world Jewry, Chaim Weizmann, said before the Holocaust began:
"I told the British Royal Commission, Weizmann is quoted (on pages 19-20) by Hecht as telling the Zionist Congress in 1937,
that the hopes of Europe's six million Jews were centered on emigration. I was asked "Can you bring six million Jews to Palestine?" I replied, "No" ... The old ones will pass... they were dust, economic and moral dust in a cruel world...
Or, so sorry. Only those Jews who disembark in Palestine get to survive. The other 4 million, they're of no use to us and thus are "dust."
And he was the leader of the Jews and that was his policy. He gave Hitler a free pass to mass murder.
But what I would like to focus on today is two fold. First of all, I am struck by the fact that most of the boys being persecuted by the Shabak come from a Kahanist background, and the aggression of the state seems focused on Kfar Tapuach , a Kahane stronghold, and related communities. It is the old war of the Labor Zionists, who call themselves Zionists, including today's statist National Union, the "Mizrochnikim", against the Kahanists (WHO MURDERED MEIR KAHANE? WHO MURDERED BENYAMIN AND TALYA KAHANE? WE know); For instance the famous wedding that was set up and framed by the Shabak was the wedding of Lenny Goldberg's child. Lenny is a leading figure of Kfar Tapuach. Then there is Meir Ettinger, the grandson of Rav Kahane, HY"D. Then there is the son of Rav Richter, also from there, etc. etc. Put two and two together and it becomes very clear that this whole witch hunt is once again persecution of Rabbi Meir Kahane's followers - they must be growing in numbers and influence or the Erev Rav government would not have decided to crush them once and for all!
This brings me to an interesting fact, which once again shows "Hineh lo Yanum velo Yishan Shomer Yisrael" - the G-d of Israel neither slumbers nor sleeps: the very same week that the boys were falsely convicted of a crime to which they confessed under torture and therefore under totally inadmissible circumstances, Ehud Olmert was convicted of a crime for which there is more than enough evidence. Now watch here a old video pitting Ehud Olmert against Rabbi Meir Kahane, HY"D. Ehud, pathetic Erev Rav symbol, who did everything he could to give Yishmael a role in Yisrael, debates Rav Kahane, who warns that giving Yishmael a role in Israel is a recipe for disaster. Today's events in Israel prove, beyond the shadow of a doubt, THAT MEIR KAHANE WAS RIGHT! Look around, see the daily attacks by Arabs; see the headlines:JUST TODAY AN ISRAELI ARAB COMMITTED A TERROR ATTACK IN TEL-AVIV! JUST TODAY THE POPE FINALIZED THE ACCORD BETWEEN THE VATICAN AND THE SO-CALLED STATE OF PALESTINE! THE UNIFICATION OF ESAV AND YISHMAEL IS THE GOAL OF THE EREV RAV! And through that their other goal is the destruction of the Jewish People and of Torat Yisrael! They want to separate between Mashiach ben Yosef and Mashiach ben David.
Which brings me to the second point I want to discuss: the Zohar, the Erev Rav, and today's events: what is happening today is described in great detail in the Zohar as well as by the Arizal, by the Vilna Gaon, and by so many other Gedolim and Tsaddikim.
The Vilna Gaon states that whoever does not participate in the war against the Erev Rav, would have been better had he or she not been born.
What I discovered today is precious: you see , I thought that in order to fight the Erev Rav you have to be politically active, you have to actually get into a fight with them. But thanks to a brochure I read over Shabbat, written by a great Talmid Chacham whom I heard at Kever David this past summer, Rav Yehuda Gross, it was made clear to me that the reality is so much simpler, and so much more attainable. And this reality has apparently been validated by at least 1000 Talmidei Chachamim, including the Chafetz Chaim, the Arizal, the Rashbi, the Vilna Gaon, the Ramchal, and many, many others: the way to fight the Erev Rav AND WIN is by studying the Zohar every single day. That, the Erev Rav cannot withstand. And one more thing: rabbis who oppose learning the Zohar are apparently from the side of the Erev Rav. Now we understand why so many rabbis signed on that infamous letter regarding the Shabak. It is said that at the End of Days the Erev Rav will rule, and most of the rabbis will be from the side of the Erev Rav, because all they want is money and power. Rings a bell? But it also says that at the End of Days HASHEM WILL KILL ALL THESE EREV RAV CHARACTERS. Now you see why they are scared? They know their time is coming, and soon!
So, thank you, Vilna Gaon, and thank you, Rav Yehuda Gross, the Holminer Rebbe.
By the way, the Holminer Rebbe distributes his material for free. It is awesome. He writes the Zohar in Aramaic, because he says that the Sitra Achra gets attached to the holy tongue, Hebrew. Difficult to understand if you don't speak Aramaic, and I don't. But there are many sources in Hebrew to study your passuk of Zohar every day. He recommends to study daily at least one pasuk of the Zohar connected to the Parshat Hashavuah, and he also says to study the Zohar of Tehillim at Kever David ( if you can make it there ). I am sure that is a battle you will be happy to join. I am starting. Will you?
PS: please read the comments below; there is important information there, both regarding the Erev Rav actions, and regarding study of the Zohar.
And here is the Holminer Rebbe speaking: I think he is quite marvelous, so genuine, so simple, yet what an amazing person, he accomplished so much in his life:

The Puerto Rican Elderly: Health Conditions (PREHCO)
Principal Investigators:
Alberto Palloni, PhD, University of Wisconsin-Madison
Ana Luisa Dávila, PhD, University of Puerto Rico
Melba Sánchez-Ayéndez, University of Puerto Rico
The Puerto Rican Elderly: Health Conditions (PREHCO) project provides quality data for researchers and policy makers about issues affecting the elderly population in Puerto Rico. Its topics include self-reported health conditions, physical and mental impairment, housing arrangements, functional status, transfers, labor history, migration, income, childhood conditions, health insurance and use of health services, marital history, mistreat, sexuality, kin networks, intergenerational support, etc. PREHCO is unique in these five areas of innovation: (1) the design and test of a new tool for assessing cognition among Spanish speaking elderly of low levels of education, (2) a symptoms section to assess the validity of selected self reported conditions, (3) a modification of the Cantrill's Ladder Scale, (4) protocols for physical measurements to assess current, as well as past, conditions, and (5) the use of GIS and GPS in the fieldwork supervision and to geocoding the survey data. PREHCO project was funded by the National Institute on Aging (NIA) and it is developed through a collaboration agreement between the Center for Demography and Ecology of the University of Wisconsin-Madison and the Graduate School of Public Health of the Medical Sciences Campus of the University of Puerto Rico.
