Deuce on Making Music: 'I Don't Need Anybody Except My Homies'
Love him or hate him, you gotta respect Deuce. After parting ways with Hollywood Undead, the rhyme-slinging vocalist has gone solo with a bullet. With the success of his debut solo disc 'Nine Lives' and its lead single 'America,' Deuce has poven he can make it on his own. Now, he and his crew are gearing up to be a part of the Uproar Festival 2012, which also features Shinedown, Staind and Godsmack, among many more.
We caught up with Deuce and guitarist Jimmy Yuma while they were on the Fight to Unite Tour earlier this year with Blood on the Dance Floor and others. Check out our photo gallery and review of their stop in New York City. Our interview took place before a recent incident in which Deuce claims he was jumped by his former bandmates in Hollywood Undead.
Deuce and Jimmy Yuma, whom we also photographed wreaking havoc on the streets of the Big Apple, talked all about the debut album, their partying ways and the importance of wearing boots.
Your album 'Nine Lives' has a party side but then there's also a raw side to it. How was the mindset while recording this record?
Deuce: I mean both are real, the party aspects of our lives and then there's the haters and then the people that we want to slap around a little bit like "Get the f--- outta here homie, don't f--- with me I'm gonna smack you back, I'm big Deuce." People want to challenge us, challenge me then they're gonna get challenged and that's part of the game. If you want to doubt me then we'll see what happens with that.
What about the riffs Jimmy, do you enjoy playing the party tunes live or the more serious stuff live?
JY: I enjoy everything live. It's all good, you just have to be in the moment, when Deuce does his thing we back him up. It's just good times.
D: Yeah we kill it. He's in the studio with me all the time, he writes with me too but like I said it's all based off of real s---, like 'I Came to Party' it's like reliving those fun parties and it could be for anybody. It could be for someone that is a complete computer nerd or for someone like me who's always going to the bar and chillin' and drinkin' so that's what it is.
These songs could be related to anybody, from a kid in high school that gets bullied like 'Nobody Likes Me' they could relate to that. I'm not like getting bullied but it's just someone comin' at me saying nobody like me is the same thing as some kid in high school and some guy saying "You're a fag" or "F--- you." It's all real s--- and people relate to real s---. I'm not singin' about fake stuff, I'm not making up stories. I'm just a skinny white boy but hey, this s--- happened around me. [Laughs]
If you guys could do a cover of any song, what would it be?
JY: I'd say 'I Came to Party' that'd be a sick one to cover. [Laughs]
D: Probably Korn 'Freak On a Leash' [Laughs] no I'm jokin'. A song I would like to cover would be I don't know 'Sweet Dreams' Marilyn Manson covered it that too. I like 'Yesterday' by The Beatles or 'Hurt' by Nine Inch Nails, I like that for sure do a cover of that or just like a Beatles song but I would make it more Deuce. Deucy Beatles baby.
I you guys weren't doing music what profession do you think you guys would get into?
D: Probably still music. Even if I wasn't makin' money from music I would still go in my bedroom and be like "I don't care I'm gonna still record, I'm gonna have fun. Who's gonna stop me? Who the f---k is gonna stop me. No one's gonna stop me." I have my own studio, I record on my own, I don't need anybody except my homies and that's and that's what it is.
Homies like Yuma here.
JY: I'd still engineer for him too. [Laughs]
D: Even if I got dropped from every label, I wouldn't give up. I'll walk five feet from my f---in' bed and still be recording bomb s---.
What was the first concert you guys ever went to?
D: Dude I don't even remember. [Laughs]
JY: The first concert I ever went to was System of a Down I think.
D: It's been so many, I've been to big concerts, small no name concerts when I was 16. There was a lot of punk shows I'd run into, Dead Kennedys, NOFX – older punk bands – people use to bring me to those, so I would go to a lot of those. It's not really my style of music but I would go there anyways but punk is definitely not my favorite genre but I still like it, NOFX is really good they're melodic.
What is one thing you guys must bring on tour with you? No electronics.
JY: No electronics. F---.
D: Dude I need my toothbrush, toothpaste. My number one is probably brushing my teeth, I'm anal about brushing my teeth, having shampoo and soap with me, basic s--- like that. I could survive on tour with just toothbrush, shampoo…
JY: Bagels and some water.
D: Oh ice cream, too. I can't go a couple days without having ice cream. I love f---in' ice cream and a beer.
What about beer flavored ice cream?
D: I've never had it but maybe we should call it Deuce beer – Deuce flavored ice cream beer.
What about you Jimmy, what's one thing you need to bring with you?
JY: Uh, boots. I don't like getting my feet wet so if there's water I put on boots.
D: That sound's kind of sexual. [Laughs] Anytime someone says boots – boots are like some sexual s---.
JY: Boots are foot armor, you got to respect.
How are boots sexual to you?
JY: Boots are sexual, they're sexy when females wear it.
D: Yeah, dudes with boots is whatever.

Lee's Last Stand
opening cutscene: LAFAYETTE IN THE TUNNELS
On a first playthrough, the mission marker is located at the South Market tunnel entrance. Enter the tunnel and navigate towards Lafayette and Stephane to trigger the mission. On a Replay, the mission begins at Fort George.
100% Sync Tactic
- Reach the signal tower within the given time 3:00
- Remain undetected on the way to the signal fire
- Limit health loss to 50%
REACH THE TOWER IN 3:00/REMAIN UNDETECTED: These two objectives are one and the same. There is technically only ONE guard that Connor needs to kill and that's the one near the well. Avoid killing the patrolling guards as much as possible!
Eliminate the guard near the well and jump out and slide under the nearby gate. Navigate east to find two patrolling guards. Wait for them to turn around then run to the next alley and slide under it (see screencaps above).
Move forward and you'll see another two patrolling guards and a set of bushes. Wait for them to move away and then run and hide in the bush. When they turn around again, quickly enter the alley right in front of the bush.
Keep moving forward to the next building which is in front of the tower. Make sure the coast is clear and then climb the ladder to the top. There is another guard on the roof but you can ignore him. On the other side of the roof you'll see a haystack cart below. Dive into the cart and wait for the patrolling guard to move away (or kill him if needed). Now jump out and climb the tower.
Climbing the tower will alert the men below but do not stop! Keep going around and climbing up until you reach the signal post. If you were quick enough, Connor should still have about 30 seconds left on the timer. Objective Complete!
Now cross the area to the final battle.
LIMIT HEALTH LOSS TO 50%: Boss battle! The battle with Haytham is all about the Double Parry. DO NOT ATTACK HAYTHAM! To bring down his health, Connor needs to use the environment on Haytham. Move towards the barrels in the arena (with Animus indicators on them) and use a Double Parry move on Haytham as he attacks. If done correctly, each move will decrease Haytham's health.
After 3-4 successful attacks, a cutscene will trigger. When prompted, deliver the killing blow to Haytham to complete the mission.
ACHIEVEMENT/TROPHY UNLOCKEDDifficult End
After the mission, a cutscene will show Connor changing from Brit to Mohawk. Take note that this cutscene cannot be viewed on a Replay!

Horton On The Law And The Gospel
This is probably the best shortest explanation of the all important distinction between God's law and God's gospel that I've read. It's from Mike Horton's new book The Christian Faith:
In the Reformed tradition, the law-gospel distinction was interpreted within the historical context of distinct covenants in history. The covenant of creation (also called the covenant of works or law) was based on the personal performance of all righteousness by the covenant servant. The covenant of grace is based on the fulfillment of all righteousness by our representative head and is dispensed to the covenant people through faith in him. There is still law in the covenant of grace. However, it is no longer able to condemn believers but directs them in lives of gratitude for God's mercy in Christ.
As I've said here before, the commands in the Bible are like a set of railroad tracks. The tracks provide no power for the train but the train must stay on the tracks in order to function. The law, in other words, never gives any power to do what it commands. It shows us what a sanctified life looks like but it has no sanctifying power. Only the gospel has power, as it were, to move the train. This is why the Bible never tells us what to do before first soaking our hearts and minds in what God in Christ has already done.

Rich Clementi hasn't had too much time to dwell on the past.
Less than a month after a trio of judges ruled his local opponent the winner of his most recent fight, he is on to the next challenge. And it's a big one.
None other than DREAM lightweight champion Shinya Aoki (27-5 MMA, 11-2 DREAM) will be there to help the veteran get out of his funk. The pair meet Saturday at "DREAM.17: Fight for Japan," which takes place at Saitama Super Arena in Saitama, Japan.
"It's actually a fight I've been wanting for years," Clementi (40-19-1 MMA, 0-0 DREAM) told MMAjunkie.com Radio (www.mmajunkie.com/radio).
His excitement would have been absent had you spoken with Clementi a few short weeks ago. He had just fought Reza Madadi for a lightweight title at Superior Challenge 7 in Stockholm, Sweden, and suffered a majority-decision loss. That wasn't the heartbreaker, though. It was the fact that the bout originally had been ruled a draw. Per the Swedish commission's rules, a winner had to be picked, and – surprise – the decision went to Madadi, a Stockholm-based fighter.
Shock, not anger, was the prevailing emotion for Clementi after the decision was read. He largely had controlled the fight on the ground and nearly stopped Madadi in the first round with strikes. He had also given up several takedowns. But he felt the result wasn't even in question.
One of the judges was Madadi's personal trainer, he later found out.
"I couldn't even be mad," Clementi said. "I was just like, 'Wow.' I'm still kind of that way. But by the same token, it was a good fight, and luckily, a lot of people got to see it and got to see my skill level and what I'm about."
Clementi filed an appeal this past week with the Swedish MMA Federation – the sanctioning body that oversaw Superior Challenge – to reverse the decision. Although he was unsuccessful in doing so, he said he holds no grudge with Superior Challenge. He does, however, believe there are lessons to be learned moving forward, and the decision could have far-reaching effects on the international talent attracted to the promotion.
"Foreign guys are going to be a little reluctant," he said. "It's almost like you're fighting in Russia; you have to kill a guy to get the nod. I told [the commission] that if they're looking to do big things, that's something that's going to hinder you.
"I think that it's going that won't happen again. I would love to fight for them (again)."
But for now, the future beckons. Clementi is set to fight one of the most feared grapplers in the sport – a man who continues to command reverence despite several high-profile setbacks. Aoki is 4-0 since his loss to Strikeforce lightweight champ Gilbert Melendez, and he's stopped three of his opponents by submission. Even without his trademark colorful pants, he hasn't missed a beat lately.
Lyle Beerbohm, Aoki's most recent victim, felt he couldn't be submitted by the grappling ace. He was dead wrong.
All this, and Clementi has had less than a month to get ready.
"A lot of people might look at it as a last-minute fight, but if you look at the things I've done – Terry Etim (and) Anthony Johnson – all those guys I've beaten in under four weeks' notice," he said. "The more of a challenge it is for me, the more I step up to the plate."
Aoki's supreme confidence in and out of the ring is well known to fans. But Clementi said that could be the fighter's undoing when they meet.
"If he doesn't respect me, that's going to be a little bit of a mistake," he said. "I think the problem that some fighters have done with him is the fact that he doesn't look like the strongest guy in the world. As the fight progresses … he takes some shots, and I think guys get a little ballsy at that point, and they deviate from that game plan.
"And that's my main thing. I respect the guy thoroughly. I've been around the game a long time, I know what a guy like that is capable of doing, and I'm coming up with a really good game plan to fight him."
Unsurprisingly, the plan is to make Aoki do exactly what he doesn't want to do – what all of those holding his kryptonite have forced him to do. Sure, Clementi could test his luck on the mat. But he'd rather use his fists to take the grappling ace out of his element.
"If I'm on the ground playing around, I'm not doing my game plan," Clementi said.
Besides, a knockout will leave no need for judges.
"Do I think I'll win a decision in Japan? Hell no," Clementi said. "I'm going to be hunkered down, and you're going to see a very aggressive boxing style that you haven't seen yet."
It's a huge risk, to be sure. But a big payoff could lead to even bigger opportunities such a return to the UFC. The promotion is headed to Clementi's backyard in September for "UFC Fight Night 25: Battle on the Bayou."
"If you don't roll the dice sometimes in life, you never reap the rewards," Clementi said. "You could sit back and need to be one of these guys, man – it makes me sick. And you see it a lot in the UFC, to be honest. You see guys name dropping. You're name dropping because you think you can beat that guy. You're not saying you want to fight the most toughest guy, generally.
"Even when I took the (Gray) Maynard fight, I told (manager) Monte (Cox) – and he actually advised against it. I was like, 'He's the toughest guy in the division right now. I'll take that fight.' Sure, I lost, but if you don't step up and fight the toughest guy, you don't get the reward."

Oscilloscope Needed?
Jan 19, 2013, 05:34 pm
I am a newbie, so of course I want to jump in and buy one of everything at this point. My question is: I have a chance to buy a used analog oscilloscope for $60. My goal at this point is to build simple robots for fun. Will the acquisition of such a tool be useful in my short/long term goals and understanding of basic electronics, or should I hold on to my money?
BTW- the scopes available are: Elenco S-1330 and the B&K Precision 2125A Any preference if I were to buy?
Thank you in advance.

You don't NEED a scope.
These are 30 MHz scopes so you can use them to see signals from Arduino's lines.
But i'ts harder to find unwanted effects in those signals with these.
$ 60,- isn't a huge amount of money, for these (they both are offered for a lot more online) but could be put into some other stuff more useful to you.
I would get one of those if they look good and are fully functional, but already got the use of some scopes.
The nice thing about a scope regarding the understanding of electronics: a scope is a true way of visualising stuff that really is invisible.
Have a look at "blink without delay".

Where's the beer?
Re: Oscilloscope Needed?
Jan 19, 2013, 06:58 pm
Personally, I think I would go with the B&K over the Elenco (B&K still lists the device with docs on their website), but both should be fine for starting out.
The real question is how you are getting one of them so cheap? Do they work? Have they been demonstrated to you? How well calibrated are they? What happens after they have been on for a while?
If they are used scopes, being sold by a "fellow hobbyist", hopefully that person can demonstrate them to you, and won't try to cheat you out of your money by selling you something that isn't fully working (for whatever reason). If you know what you are doing, you can test the basic calibration of the scope using it's built-in test signal (all scopes have such a signal; it's from a little pin that sticks out of the front, that you can hook one of the probes onto, then switch to that channel, and test to see if the signal is showing up properly, at the right voltage levels, and proper frequency across time-scales - try both channels, across all ranges and settings, as well as A+B, A-B, etc if you can hook two probes in).
Probably the best thing you can do first is download the docs for each scope, and read them; also find an online tutorial on how to use and read a scope, and study that, too. Then when you are fairly confident, ask the seller to demonstrate it, and check the test signal, etc. The test signal is generally a square wave of a set frequency, at about 5 volts peak-to-peak; it will generally say what it is right above the test signal hookup point on the front panel. If the output doesn't look right, don't buy it. You are looking for the general basics (proper readings on screen across all ranges and time-scales), as well as whether the rise and fall times are "crisp and clean" (edges need to be square - some rounding/ringing is to be expected, but only at certain scales and such), the display is bright, that there isn't any focus or skew/rotation issues on the display (see if you can adjust and maintain the focus/skew/display - there are little adjustment knobs set-back in the panel that you can use a small screwdriver to adjust; typically you use a non-metallic driver to do this, but if you don't have such a tool, a regular small screwdriver will work ok), etc.
The manual will detail how to do all of this and adjust the device properly; if you have to, print-out or otherwise take the manual with you to the seller's place and test it like that.
Ultimately, $60.00 isn't a bad price for such an analog scope, provided you know how to use and read it, and how to care for it. There are certain "gotchas" that you have to be careful with on just about all scopes (but most of the time they involve attempting to read a power signal from the same circuit the scope is plugged into - you need an isolation transformer to do this properly, otherwise you can bugger your scope), but for basic signal reading and use (and learning) - $60.00 seems like a great deal to me.
That said, just know you aren't getting any way to "store" a signal or do other similar analysis; analog scopes are mainly best use for signals that are repetitive or continuous in nature. Checking pulse trains, or audio signals, or RF signals and such - that's what these scopes are best at. If you need to analyze the rise and fall times of a digital signal train of data (like a serial communications channel or something), an analog scope won't work; you need a DSO (digital storage oscilloscope), or a logic analyzer.
In my opinion, it is best to start learning on a simple scope like you've mentioned; then you need to decide whether you want or need the other two tools. Sometimes, you can get a DSO that has a logic analyzer built in (be prepared to spend some real cash, though!); generally, though, you want your tools as separate as possible - so if you find yourself needing to analyze a set of data bus lines (or multiple digital signals in such a way that the correlate based on their timings), and that number of signals is greater than "2" - then a logic analyzer is what you'll want.
They do make oscilloscopes (DSO and analog scopes) that have more than 2 inputs; you can find ones that will have a "Z" input (this mainly controls the intensity of the gun on-screen - so you can use it for old-school TV repair, generally) - but there do exist ones with four or more actual inputs; sometimes, you can even find them used. But what I have seen, is that if you go beyond 2 inputs or 100 MHz of bandwidth, the cost for the scope skyrockets (add DSO into the mix - yikes! - at my work, all the techs have nice 4-channel Tek DSOs - not sure about the bandwidth - I so wish I could get one of those, just to have it - but likely, I would never need it - and honestly, I tend to wonder if they really need it, either, given my employer's business).
Note that a DSO and a logic analyzer are not interchangeable tools - usually. A DSO (or an analog scope) is designed not only to let you view and study the signal, frequency, and voltage of a signal - but it can also tell you whether there is any noise present on the signal itself, or in the case of digital and high-speed analog signals, "ringing" at the signal transitions (look it up). Generally, a logic analyzer will only show you for a given input whether the signal is HIGH or LOW in relation to the other inputs. There are logic analyzers, though, that can give you the finer-grain details about such digital signals (noise percentages, wave shaping, and ringing) - but you generally won't find such details on anything in normal human price ranges (it takes a ton of memory and a lot of speed to store such information for playback and analysis).
Finally - if you find yourself later wanting another used analog oscilloscope, the brands to look for are Tektronix and HP/Agilent - if they are in good condition and not too old (and have all their parts), a 2-channel 50-100 MHz scope will run about $200-300.00 USD. If you find one cheaper in good condition, snatch it up. I personally own a Tek 2213 - picked it up off Craigslist for $250.00, and it had been factory calibrated. I also managed to get an interesting 100 MHz Fluke Combiscope (PM3380B) fairly cheaply (I think I paid $350.00 for it a few years back). This is an old DSO, but what is really interesting about it is that it can be used in both "digital" and "analog" modes - you can even have a single trace recording into the DSO in "digital" mode, while the other trace runs in "analog" mode, so you can compare both analog and digital signals at the same time. It's really an interesting beast; you can't find such scopes any longer (all DSO's these days use LCD screens).
Ok - well - since someone else posted before me - I do want to second his/her opinion that you don't -need- a scope for most things in basic electronics (a multimeter is far more useful). All of his/her points are perfectly valid. But - at $60.00 bucks, provided it is in good shape and working well - that is a great investment for a learning tool. Don't expect to use it forever; you might find you don't ever need it - or you might find you can't live without it and want to upgrade to something better. Heck - even though I have the scopes I mentioned (and don't need to learn to use a scope), I would probably jump on that deal (it's like all the free Harbor Freight multimeters I get - I don't need them all, but they are handy now and then).
Consider it an investment in your education; worst case, after you have learned how to use it and whether you need it, if you find you don't need it as much, or want to upgrade - pass it on to the next newbie...
I will not respond to Arduino help PM's from random forum users; if you have such a question, start a new topic thread.

Measurement changes behavior
Re: Oscilloscope Needed?
Jan 19, 2013, 07:31 pm
Maybe it's because the way I was raised and trained in electronics, and I'm an old fart, but I consider the basic O-scope the best overall general purpose piece of troubleshoot/learning equipment one can have. While a decent DMM is also a very basic requirement, a scope can let your see things that a meter just cannot show you.
I presently have a Tek 2213 and use it a lot, especially on the analog side of the electronics world. So I guess it's what your educational goals are with using an arduino. Many certainly many if not most build, troubleshoot, and debug arduino projects without a scope, but if you want a tool that will help you in learning and advancing in the electronics world then a scope is a very worthwhile tool to get. And as your starting out a cheaper (assuming it's functional) used scope is a good path and you will learn in time what you actually need and want if you ever decide you need to upgrade to a more powerful scope (and expensive) with more features and functions.

A student wrote me asking how he could make a SketchUp model that realistically represented a project he built in the shop. The project is a lampshade constructed of four L shaped risers and horizontal stretchers.
In the shop he started with four risers, each glued up to produce the L shape. He tied two sets of the risers together with a stretcher. The results are in the picture at left.
The student didn't share his thoughts behind his question with me, so what follows is my interpretation of what he may have been thinking.
He may have wondered why the left and right sides of the L were not 90° to the sides. Being curious he may then have produced a SketchUp model, perhaps to answer his question. The SketchUp model produced desirable results as seen below right. Clearly all the side are right angles. He wondered why the difference and asked if I could produce a model that represented "reality" – i.e. the shop version.
The simple answer as to why these models are different is that he built the shop model and the SketchUp model differently. The shop model started with glue ups at right angles and roughly 1" on a side and 3/8" thick. He then made a compound cut to allow the risers to tilt inward in both the x and y direction.
The problem is that when you tilt the risers in both direction and then tie them together with a stretcher, which itself is tilted inward, you force the other side to point inward. Further, when you cut the L shape with a compound angle you produce a cross section that is not rectangular, but rather parallelogram in shape. You can see this nicely in the photo thanks to the glue lines. Click on the photo to enlarge it and look at the pieces joined together to form the L.
So why did the SketchUp model look so nice and provide the desirable results? The answer is found in a quote from the email he sent me.
SketchUp Model: To make the vertical risers – drew the bottom (L-shape) as a horizontal plane, drew a second "L" and moved it up and out, and then connected the corners.
He essentially made the assumption that a compound cut would produce a cross section with right angles, that is, rectangular in shape. He then produced the cross section he wanted and copied it at a higher elevation and shifted it inward in both x and y direction. Finally he connected the corresponding corners to form risers. A detailed inspection of the resulting riser would reveal that the angle between the outside faces would have to be greater than 90°; not by much. In fact little enough to deceive the eye.
I constructed a riser using this right angle assumption just as the student did. It was 1" wide on the outside faces, 20" high and tilted in 3" in x and y. The angle between the outside faces I measured to be approximately 91.3°.
I then constructed a SketchUp model using the shop model approach. That is, I started out with L shaped risers that was all right angles. Then I used slicing planes to cut the top and bottom just as you would do with a compound miter saw. Then I rotated the risers in the x and y direction to align the compound cuts with the ground plane (red/green plane) and achieved the desired tilt. The resulting picture is at left.
This model is tilted a lot to demonstrate what happens. The only reason this model does not look exactly like the shop picture above is because I did not tie riser sets together with stretchers and force the front and back faces to align. If I had the side faces would be angled in even more. You can download this model and convince yourself that the risers are in fact constructed from right angle stock and compound mitered at the ends.
Compound miters, or more generally, faces that are at angles to two planes, are a difficult problem for most people starting out with SketchUp to master. If you have taken my beginner's and intermediate SketchUp courses you have heard me talk about slicing planes. This problem begs two questions: how do you create the correct compound slicing plane to achieve the desired splay and what angles do you set your table saw, or compound miter saw for when cutting them. I will answer the first question in the attached video below. The second question is the subject of a subsequent post. Stay tuned.

The candidate debates
May 3, 2007 - Simi Valley, California
The first Republican debate was at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library in Simi Valley, California. It was simulcast live for 90 minutes on MSNBC and Politico.com. Questions were gathered from The Politico readers for the candidates. All declared candidates were present, as Fred Thompson had not yet declared. Former First Lady Nancy Reagan was present, along with California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger.
The debate was moderated by MSNBC anchor Chris Matthews of Hardball and The Politico's John Harris.[8] Questions were gathered from The Politico readers for the candidates.
The candidates presented differing opinions of President George W. Bush, with McCain and Huckabee criticizing Bush's mismanagement of the Iraq War while Giuliani and Romney praised Bush, Ron Paul said Bush was a poor conservative.[8] The candidates also presented different opinions on contentious issues such as abortion and stem-cell research but were united in calling for further tax cuts.[8][9] All candidates opposed a pullout from Iraq except for Ron Paul, who spoke and voted against the resolution to authorize war on Iraq in 2002 and has been a vocal critic of the war.[10][11]
John McCain answered "yes" when asked whether he believed in evolution. Immediately following, the questioner inquired whether any of the candidates did not believe in evolution, three candidates (Tancredo, Brownback, and Huckabee) raised their hands.[12] McCain then added "I believe in evolution, but I also believe, when I hike the Grand Canyon and see a sunset, that the hand of God is there also."[13] Later in the June 5 debate, Brownback and Huckabee elaborated on their position, taking a far more moderate approach.
Pundits Howard Fineman and Joe Scarborough concluded that Romney did the best and maintained his posture by seeming the most energetic in the debate. Eugene Robinson deduced that Romney showed that he has the potential to be a formidable candidate and also answered the most questions in a consistent manner.
At the end of the debate, MSNBC's online votes showed Ron Paul standing out from the other candidates. Ron Paul won "Best one liner," "Who stood out from the pack" "Most convincing debater", and "Who showed the most leadership qualities?" In all four, he had at least 45% of the total vote.[14]
Mitt Romney won an online vote taken at The Drudge Report, with Giuliani and Paul close behind.[15]

May 15, 2007 - Columbia, South Carolina
The second Republican debate was May 15 in Columbia, South Carolina at the Koger Center for the Arts at the University of South Carolina. All candidates then declared participated. It was broadcast live for 90 minutes on Fox News Channel, and simulcast on Fox News Radio affiliates, including the station of the debate, WVOC. The event was moderated by Brit Hume, with Chris Wallace and Wendell Goler asking most of the questions. The debate was in three rounds, the first on the War in Iraq, the second on domestic issues, such as abortion, gay rights, spending and tax cuts. For the last, Brit Hume proposed a fictional scenario involving terrorism. The candidates had to predict their actions in that situation. Fox News held text message voting by the audience. Ron Paul received the most (33%) with Mike Huckabee second (18%).[16]
During the debate, Ron Paul asserted that American interventionism in the Middle East, from CIA installation of Iranian leaders to the bombing of Iraq in the 1990s, culminating in the ongoing Iraq war, led to anti-American sentiment in the Middle East and to terrorists plotting attacks against America. Rudy Giuliani portrayed Paul as implying that America had justified the 9/11 attacks through its actions and interrupted the proceedings to demand a retraction, which Paul refused. Former head of the CIA's bin Laden unit, Michael Scheuer, congratulated Ron Paul for his comments, calling them "the truth."[17] Others portrayed the exchange as a victory for Giuliani.[18]
The fictional ticking time bomb scenario suggested by the moderator was: "Three shopping centers near major U.S. cities have been hit by suicide bombers. Hundreds are dead, thousands injured. A fourth attack has been averted when the attackers were captured off the Florida coast and taken to Guantanamo Bay, where they are being questioned. U.S. intelligence believes that another larger attack is planned and could come at any time."[19] John McCain and Ron Paul were the only candidates who said they were opposed to the concept of "enhanced interrogation techniques",[20] a phrase Paul labeled Orwellian newspeak for torture.[21] Mitt Romney suggested that the U.S. double the size of facilities holding non-citizen enemy combatants held in places like Guantanamo and deny them access to the protections afforded to American citizens, such as the right of having an attorney. Giuliani said interrogators should use "any method they can think of" and did not exclude water-boarding.[22] Expressing disbelief at the idea of debating "whether or not waterboarding would be a bad thing to do" Tom Tancredo said "I'm looking for Jack Bauer."[23]
Mike Huckabee drew the biggest laughter of the night when he accused Congress of spending money "like John Edwards at a beauty shop," a reference to Edwards, who at that time was a 2008 Democratic Presidential candidate, spending $800 of campaign money on two haircuts.[24]
June 5, 2007 - Goffstown, New Hampshire
WMUR-TV, CNN, and the New Hampshire Union Leader hosted Democratic and Republican debates at Saint Anselm College in Goffstown, New Hampshire, part of the Manchester urban area. The debate was two hours, without commercials, making it and the CNN Democratic debate the longest debates in the 2008 season so far. All declared candidates participated, which excluded Fred Thompson. Wolf Blitzer of The Situation Room and Late Edition on CNN moderated the debate.[25][26][27]
According to the online CNN.com poll, Ron Paul received the most votes in all but two categories: "snappiest dresser," who was Mitt Romney, and "most disappointing performance" who was Rudy Giuliani.[28] The "big three" candidates (Giuliani, McCain, Romney) also received larger shares of air time compared to the "minor candidates."[29][30]
A WBZ-Franklin Pierce College poll showed Romney as the winner of the debate at 22%, followed by Rudy Giuliani at 18% and John McCain at 11%. In that poll, none of the other candidates earnered over 3%. Participants in the debate: Sam Brownback, James S. Gilmore, Rudy Giuliani, Duncan Hunter, Mike Huckabee, John McCain, Ron Paul, Mitt Romney, Tom Tancredo and Tommy Thompson[31]

ABC News conducted a live, 90-minute debate that aired Sunday morning on a special edition of This Week, moderated by George Stephanopoulos at Drake University. All Republican candidates were present. Mitt Romney defended his change from a pro-choice to pro-life position on abortion. Ron Paul spoke of pulling U.S. troops out of Iraq. The debate concluded with the candidates' revealing their biggest mistakes. Frontrunners Mitt Romney, Rudy Giuliani, and John McCain were given more time to speak than were lesser-known candidates, as in previous debates.
According to an on-line poll at ABCNews.com, Paul won the debate with 63% of votes.[32] Paul's vote total was nearly eight times as many as runner-up Romney.[32] Frank Luntz, a political commentator for Fox News, asserted that Mike Huckabee had won the debate.[33]
September 5, 2007 - Durham, New Hampshire
Fox News Channel hosted a Republican debate at The Whittemore Center at the University of New Hampshire in Durham, New Hampshire, for 90 minutes on Fox News.[34] The event was moderated by Brit Hume, with Chris Wallace and Wendell Goler asking most of the questions. According to a public text messaging poll, Ron Paul won with 33%, Mike Huckabee came in second with 18%, followed by Rudy Giuliani and John McCain who received 15% and 14% respectively.[35] All candidates who were declared participated.
The Fox News Luntz focus groups watching the debate declared disappointment with the performance by Mitt Romney and Rudy Giuliani, though John McCain was viewed favorably.[36] However, some noted the lack of McCain supporters in the audience.[37] The status of Larry Craig was discussed in the debate, with Sam Brownback stating that Craig should go through with his decision to resign.[37]
An exchange between Ron Paul and Mike Huckabee over the war in Iraq was covered extensively by many news agencies.[38][39][40]
September 17, 2007 - Fort Lauderdale, Florida
The first-ever "Values Voter" Presidential Debate was held for the GOP candidates at the Broward Center for the Performing Arts in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. It was broadcast live on television on Sky Angel, and live on many Christian radio stations, including the Voice of Christian Youth America (VCY America) network and WKBF-AM, and online on the American Family Association (AFA) Web site. Seven candidates attended-- Brownback, Huckabee, Hunter, Paul, Tancredo, and newly announced candidate Alan Keyes and John H. Cox, a candidate who had then not appeared in any of the other debates. The official Web site reports the immediate straw poll of 340 delegates was won by Huckabee with 219 votes (63%) to Paul 44 (13%), Keyes 22 (7%), Brownback 18 (5%), Fred Thompson 15 (4%), Hunter 4%, Tancredo 2%, Giuliani 1%, McCain 1%, Cox 1%, and Romney 0%. A similar event was planned for the Democratic candidates, but none would confirm their participation.
September 27, 2007 - Baltimore, Maryland
PBS television hosted a Republican debate in Baltimore, Maryland, at Morgan State University that aired live on PBS and on www.pbs.org.[41][42] Dubbed the "All-American Presidential Forums," it was the first prime time debate with a panel exclusively of journalists of color. Questions were asked by host Tavis Smiley and panelists Ray Suarez of The NewsHour, Cynthia Tucker of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution, and NPR's Juan Williams.
The six debaters were Sam Brownback, Mike Huckabee, Alan Keyes, Ron Paul, Duncan Hunter, and Tom Tancredo. Absent were Rudy Giuliani, John McCain, Mitt Romney, and Fred Thompson, who, according to public opinion surveys,[43] were the leading Republican candidates. The organizers put empty podiums on the stage in place of the candidates who refused to attend.
Most of the questions focused on racial issues.
For the most part, the candidates agreed with one another about most of the issues discussed. One exception came near the end when Cynthia Tucker asked, "Does the U.S. have a role to play in ending the genocide in Darfur?" All the candidates except Paul answered in the affirmative, though most ruled out using U.S. troops. Huckabee added that we also need to address "the infanticide in our own country, with the slaughter of millions of unborn children." Paul opposed even sending food, and added, "we should direct our attention only to national security, and not get involved for these feel-good reasons of going overseas for the various reasons, and this is the main reason why I think we ought to just come home from every place in the coun-, from every place in the world." Keyes replied, "I have to say I'm appalled by the suggestion that we retreat into some kind of Fortress America, and forget who we are. We are a nation of nations, a people of many peoples. We are in touch with every people on the face of the earth. If somebody's is being hurt somewhere in the world, somebody in America grieves for them. And I don't believe we can turn our backs on that universal significance, that universal mission... We don't have to send troops, but we need to support and reinforce the sense of local regional responsibility for both humanitarian and military order in that region."
October 9, 2007 - Dearborn, Michigan
CNBC, The Wall Street Journal, and the University of Michigan–Dearborn hosted a Republican debate in Dearborn, Michigan at the Ford Community and Performing Arts Center.[44][45] It was co-moderated by MSNBC's Chris Matthews and CNBC's Maria Bartiromo. The focus of the debate was on the American economy.
Sam Brownback, Rudy Giuliani, Mike Huckabee, Duncan Hunter, John McCain, Ron Paul, Mitt Romney, Tom Tancredo, participated, along with Fred Thompson in his debate debut. Alan Keyes was not invited.
After the debate, Ron Paul won with over 7000 votes, because of which CNBC took take down the page.[46][47][48][49]
One highlight of the debate occurred when Mitt Romney and Rudy Giuliani debated whether the line-item veto was constitutional or not. Giuliani claimed that it was unconstitutional and challenged former President Bill Clinton on its use, while Romney praised the practice citing that he used it 844 times as Governor of Massachusetts.
Another highlight in the debate happened when candidates were asked by Chris Matthews if they need to go to Congress to get authorization to take military action against Iran's nuclear facilities, if they were president of the United States.[50][51] While Hunter, Huckabee, McCain, Thompson and Giuliani replied they would not obtain Congressional authorization if there was an imminent threat from Iran. Romney replied, "You sit down with your attorneys and (they) tell you what you have to do..." Paul advocated obtaining Congressional authorization, which he claimed is mandated by the US Constitution.
In the end of the debate, Mitt Romney remarked, "This is a lot like 'Law & Order,' senator. It has a huge cast, the series seems to go on forever and Fred Thompson shows up at the end." Romney was making a reference to Fred Thompson's role on Law & Order. Thompson replied, "And to think I thought I was going to be the best actor on the stage."[52]
Critics of the debate have commented on the uneven amount of time given to "second tier" candidates.[53]
The debate aired on CNBC and MSNBC.
October 16, 2007 - Washington, D.C.
The Republican Jewish Coalition debate at the Grand Hyatt Hotel Independence Ballroom featured five candidates: Sam Brownback, Rudy Giuliani, John McCain, Mitt Romney, and Fred Thompson. Although Mike Huckabee was invited, he did not attend, due to being in California at an event with Newt Gingrich. RJC Communications Director Shari Hillman wrote that "due to the limited time available for the event, the RJC could only include the top six candidates currently in the field." The Jewish Telegraphic Agency reported that sources close to the RJC leadership said that Paul was excluded due to his "record of consistently voting against assistance to Israel and his criticisms of the pro-Israel lobby".[54]
October 21, 2007 - Orlando, Florida
The Republican Party of Florida hosted a two-day event on October 20 and 21 featuring Republican candidates in a debate. Produced with the Fox News Channel, it was moderated by Chris Wallace, Brit Hume, Wendell Goler, and Carl Cameron. Eight candidates participated. Alan Keyes was not invited.
The event was at the Rosen Shingle Creek Hotel and Resort in Orlando, Florida. The weekend culminated in the nationally televised, prime-time debate.[55]
According to Fox News Viewers "text voting" after the debate, Ron Paul won with 34%, Huckabee came in second with 27%, Giuliani third with 11%, Romney 10%, Thompson 9%, McCain 5%, Hunter 1% and Tancredo less than 1%.[56]
At one point, with the poll showing Ron Paul winning the informal "cell phone" poll, Fox News talk show host Sean Hannity declared, "Ron Paul did not win the debate tonight."[56] Hannity described the results as "stacking."
Paul was the only candidate to be jeered during the debate—both times Paul advocated a non-interventionist foreign policy.[57] Alan Colmes, in the post-debate analysis, stated that Paul drew the most spirited reaction of any candidate, both positive and negative.
This Republican debate also revealed that the Republican contenders think America will go bankrupt if spending policies are not changed.
Thompson hit on a theme on which all of the debaters seemed to agree, that out-of-control spending is bankrupting America: "We're spending the money of our grand kids and kids yet to be born", Thompson said.
Giuliani accused Fred Thompson of being the "biggest obstacle to tort reform". Giuliani, touting his record as New York City mayor, said, "I brought down crime 60%", and called for school choice.
Regarding health care, Ron Paul said that "managed care isn't working" and that "drug companies lobby for managed care". Paul said, "We could take care of these poor people if we weren't trying to maintain an empire overseas". Ron Paul hit continued to discuss the issue of military non-interventionism, "70% of Americans want war over with and are sick and tired of big government at home and overseas". They want their "civil liberties and not allow government to spend endlessly and bankrupt us". Paul also answered questions related to his experience with Medicaid and endorsed allowing civil unions for same-sex couples country-wide, with marriage itself handled solely by religious institutions.
Mike Huckabee defended the "sanctity of human life, it is one of the defining issues of our culture" and on health care promoted "personalization not privatization. We do not have health care system, we have a maze. It's a health care crisis".
FOX News Channel and its affiliates moderated and televised the debate.

October 25, 2007 - Sioux City, Iowa
AARP and IPTV held their second presidential candidate forum at the Orpheum Theater in Sioux City. Of the candidates invited, only former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee and U.S. Senator John McCain attended.[58] The forum was webcast live but was not aired on PBS stations across the country as originally planned.
Due to the absence of most candidates, the format was changed to "allow Sen. John McCain and Gov. Mike Huckabee to discuss the issues of health and financial security with Iowa caucus-goers. The format included opening remarks, questions from moderator Dean Borg of IPTV, Sioux City Journal readers and those selected in the audience."[59]
November 28, 2007 - St. Petersburg, Florida
This debate is known as the "YouTube" debate. CNN planned it with a simulcast on CNN en Español (in the Spanish language). Internet services YouTube and Google also participated, allowing them to stream the event live and have clips for future use. Video questions had to be submitted by November 25 to YouTube [4]. According to Nielsen Media Research, the debate drew a record Cable TV audience for a presidential primary debate, an estimated 4.4 million viewers.[60]
The debate format permitted audience applause and boos—something that had been uncommon in the debates.
Several candidates cited scheduling conflicts with the original date, September 17, 2007, so it was rescheduled. The invited candidates are Rudy Giuliani, Mike Huckabee, Duncan Hunter, John McCain, Ron Paul, Mitt Romney, Tom Tancredo, and Fred Thompson.[61] Alan Keyes was not invited. All invited candidates accepted, and all appeared.[62]
Thirty-three questions were chosen for the debate, with Anderson Cooper - the moderator - determining which candidates would respond to each question.[63] Giuliani spoke 20 times, for a total of 16:38. Mitt Romney spoke 19 times, for a total of 13 minutes and 18 seconds. Fred Thompson and John McCain each spoke 12 times, for 12:16 & 11:00, respectively. Mike Huckabee spoke 11 times, for a total of 10:00. Paul spoke 9 times, for a total of 7:43. Hunter spoke 7 times, for a total of 5:06, and Tancredo spoke 7 times, for a total of 3:49.[64] Mike Huckabee was not given a question to answer until minute 26, while Ron Paul's first question was given after the first half-hour.[65]
CNN's on-line viewer poll shows Ron Paul the winner of the debate with 49% of the vote. Viewers found Rudy Giuliani to have the most disappointing performance, with 27% of the vote.[66]
Forty-four percent of Florida Republicans who said they were undecided surveyed by InsiderAdvantage/Majority Opinion Research judged that Mike Huckabee won this debate, whereas 18% thought Rudy Giuliani won, 13% felt that Mitt Romney won, and 10% picked John McCain. No other participant was selected as the debate's winner by more than 5% of those surveyed. The poll's margin of error was +/- 6%.[67] An InsiderAdvantage/Majority Opinion Research survey of over 1,035 decided & undecided Iowa Republicans taken during the last 20 minutes of the debate found that 32% thought Huckabee won the debate, while 16% judged that Romney won, 12% felt that Giuliani won, and 10% picked John McCain. In this poll, Fred Thompson was chosen by 7% and Ron Paul was chosen by 6% as the debate's winner. No other participant was selected as the debate's winner by more than 2% of those surveyed.[67]
John McCain and Ron Paul had a notable exchange over the Iraq War and the Vietnam War. McCain stated that troops wanted the US government to "let them win." Ron Paul replied "The real question you have to ask is why do I get the most money from active duty officers and military personnel?" [68] McCain also called Paul an isolationist, saying "We allowed Hitler to come to power with that kind of isolationism." Paul replied that McCain was confusing isolationism with non-intervention, "I want to trade with people, talk with people, travel, but I don't want to send troops overseas using force to tell them how to live."[69][70]
During breaks, ads created by each campaign were aired. Fred Thompson's ad attacked Mitt Romney and Mike Huckabee, to which they were allowed to respond.[71]
CNN was criticized for not revealing during the debate that Keith Kerr, an openly gay military general who had submitted a question and spoke during the debate, was on a campaign advisory organization supporting Hillary Clinton. CNN cut the question and candidate response in the subsequent airing of the debate.[72] Los Angeles Times editorial writer Tim Rutten criticized CNN's handling of the debate, calling the network "corrupt" and accusing it of focusing the debate on immigration to benefit Lou Dobbs' ratings.

December 9, 2007 - Miami, Florida
Univision, the nation's largest Spanish-speaking television network, sponsored a Republican debate hosted by the University of Miami on December 9, 2007.
The candidates in attendance were Rudy Giuliani, Mike Huckabee, Duncan Hunter, John McCain, Ron Paul, Mitt Romney, and Fred Thompson. Alan Keyes was not invited. Tom Tancredo was invited, but has vowed never to participate in a Spanish-language forum.[73] As expected a prominent portion of the debate focused on immigration.
December 12, 2007 - Johnston, Iowa
The Des Moines Register and Iowa Public Television were originally to host a Republican debate in Johnston, Iowa, on January 5, 2008.[25] The Iowa Republican Party, undecided on a date for the caucus, finally settled on January 3, two days before the planned debate. The debate was then moved to December 12, the day before the Des Moines Register hosted a Democratic debate. It aired live on Iowa Public Television, CNN, MSNBC, C-SPAN3, Fox News Channel, C-SPAN Radio, and Fox News Radio, with a prime time replay on C-SPAN2.
Rudy Giuliani, Mike Huckabee, Duncan Hunter, Alan Keyes, John McCain, Ron Paul, Mitt Romney, Tom Tancredo, and Fred Thompson participated in the 90-minute debate; thus, with 9 candidates in attendance, this became the single largest Republican debate of the 2008 cycle.
The moderator, Carolyn Washburn, editor of the Des Moines Register, was criticized by the media for being overly "strict" in dictating answer time and for barring questions on both Iraq and immigration.[74][75]
January 5, 2008 – Goffstown, New Hampshire
ABC, WMUR-TV and Facebook jointly hosted back-to-back Republican and Democratic debates from Saint Anselm College three days before the first-in-the-nation primary on Tuesday. According to Nielsen Media Research, this debate drew the largest televised audience of the Republican primaries with an estimated 7.35 million viewers.[76]
The Republican debate included Rudy Giuliani, Mike Huckabee, John McCain, Ron Paul, Mitt Romney, and Fred Thompson. Charles Gibson moderated. Candidates were allowed to participate if they meet one of three criteria, "place first through fourth in Iowa, poll 5 percent or higher in one of the last four major New Hampshire surveys, or poll 5 percent or higher in one of the last four major national surveys."[77] Thus, ABC News eliminated Republican Duncan Hunter.
ABC said the rules were quite inclusive, and that none of the candidates objected ahead of time. "In previous debates where the stage was more crowded you had to make sure all of the candidates got equal time," said David Chalian, ABC News political director. "Here you will have more time to go in depth on the issues."
January 6, 2008 – Milford, New Hampshire
A brunch forum housed by Chris Wallace with presidential candidates, originally to be sponsored by the New Hampshire Republican Party, was planned for broadcast on Fox News.
Candidates Ron Paul and Duncan Hunter were excluded by Fox News, though Paul got 10 percent of the Iowa vote while Giuliani, who was invited, got just 3 percent. Fox News said they had only enough room for "so many candidates."[77][78]
New Hampshire Republican Party chair Fergus Cullen said on December 31, "Limiting the number of candidates who are invited to participate in debates is not consistent with the tradition of the first in the nation primary. The level playing field requires that all candidates be given an equal opportunity to participate–-not just a select few determined by the media prior to any votes being cast."[79][80]
On January 5, following Fox News' continued refusal to allow a fair debate format, the New Hampshire Republican Party withdrew their sponsorship.[78] Jay Leno invited Ron Paul to be a guest on the January 7 Tonight Show specifically because he felt Paul's exclusion was "unfair."[81]
In a post-debate analysis by Fox News, Mitt Romney was declared the winner of the debate by several analysts. On top of this, Frank Luntz, a pollster with Fox News, indicated that Mitt Romney's performance was well received by his focus group of both conservatives and moderate conservatives.

January 30, 2008 - Simi Valley, California

Shabbat Shalom
Your Peace of the Week
by: Marissa Anteby
I can't take all the credit for this week's topic. The inspiration for this article, came to me when I was reading the comments posted last week. In it, I described an at home Tension Releasing Massage you can do for yourself. Maggie, wrote in: "Sounds good, have to try this. Today the aroma of fresh baked challah is (finally) my relaxation."
She touched on something so vital; the act of cooking, lends itself perfectly to taking a moment to inhale slowly and access a place of calm within yourself. To expand upon that theme; really any activity can be utilized as an opportunity to be mindful. Focusing on the task at hand, while simultaneously recognizing what's going on in your inner world, will cultivate a sense of ease. Checking in with your thoughts and your breathing, can help alleviate stress, both mental and physical. For more information about Mindfulness Training, you can check out a 7-day course I participated in at The Miraval Spa.
Maggie's comment got me thinking; I wonder what other things Jewish women do to make their cooking time enjoyable. So, I posed the question to my Indoor Cycling students, and here's their list of suggestions:
• "Make a shopping list, and go to the supermarket early in the day, so you'll have all the ingredients you need." – A. Dweck
• De-clutter your work space before you start to cook. For tips on how to de-clutter click here: http://embodyinc.blogspot.com/2010/04/tips-for-de-cluttering-and-clearing.html
• "Playing music helps me relax, and makes me happy to be in the kitchen, even if it is for hours! The music makes the time go by faster." – Raquel Mishaan
• "When I'm cooking, I like to clean up as I go along, so the pots don't pile up. I can stay in the kitchen for as long as needed, because I'm working in a clear environment." – Violet Cohen
• "Don't rush cooking your food, you'll taste the love in it afterward." – Rachelle Esses
Wow, isn't that beautiful. Rachelle told me her Mom says that. It's such a lovely motto to live by. It's good to remind yourself, that the energy you put in to making your family's meals is transmitted and truly appreciated.
When your hard work in the kitchen is complete (I know your thinking, "That's never.") Do something special for yourself. Sit down and read a book (now you're really laughing.) Ok, I'll re-phrase, sit down and read a sentence in a book, before you get interrupted, or go for a walk, meet with a friend, etc.
Sarah Haddad Cheney says, "Women deserve time for themselves. Tell everyone to come to the Spa Day this Wednesday April 21, at the new SCC Spa. There will be all kinds of treatments; SkinDeep skin care products and consultations, chemical peels, hair styling by Momotaro NYC, Thai Yoga Massage, and more." http://scclive.org/pages/detail/47/-Health-ClubSpa
As always, scroll all the way down to post your comments. I really enjoy reading them, and 1 lucky winner will be chosen from people who comment. The prize is a FREE Thai Yoga Massage from www.embodyinc.com
Shabbat Shalom,
Marissa Anteby is a wife, and a mother of 4 children. Her company www.embodyinc.com hosts holistic exercise classes in Cycling, Pilates, and Yoga, in cities throughout New York and New Jersey. Marissa maintains more than 10 wellness related certifications, including Reiki Massage, and Thai Yoga Massage.

The United Nations (UN) named the year 2013 as the "International Year for Water Cooperation." Since the start of the year, many projects have taken place worldwide aimed at increasing awareness about the international challenges and demands regarding water management, sanitation and access.
Focusing on these challenges within Palestine, the Palestinian Water Authority and the European Union (EU), along with a number of Member States, have collaborated in order to organize the first Euro-Palestinian Water Film Festival, set to tae place throughout October and November in various locations within the West Bank including Hebron, Nablus, Ramallah, Bethlehem, Jerusalem and also in Gaza.
The overall objective of the festival is to raise awareness, not just about the political aspects of the water issue in Palestine, but also its cultural and social implications whilst sharing and encouraging the works of Palestinian film-makers—thus combining the fields of culture, cinema and water.
They try to make our life miserable. We try to make it possible.
They try to make our life miserable. We try to make it possible.
Dr Shaddad Attili, head of Palestinian Water Authority, spoke enthusiastically at the festival's opening on Monday 21 October at the al-Qasbah Theatre in Ramallah. He thanked the EU member states for funding and collaborating on such an event as well as on all the ongoing and0 vital water management projects in the West Bank and Gaza, such as the large and small scale waste water treatment plants.
Dr. Shaddad explained that these projects are a sign of hope for the numerous Palestinians who regularly come to him asking for water. He argued the fact that in many cases he has no authority to do anything, especially in Area C which falls under full Israeli military and civil control. He battles with such frustrations on a daily basis and has, as result, begun to joking refer to himself as the Minister of "Virtual Water."
This same argument was further explained in one of the films screened at the festival's opening, "Jordan Valley Blues," produced by 'Lifesource' in 2012. Despite all the struggles and political conflict, Dr Shaddad's words were ones full of positivity for continued work towards solutions in creating easy access to potable water for all Palestinians.
"They try to make our life miserable. We try to make it possible," said Dr. Shaddad.
The Communication and Information Officer for the EU, Mr. Shadi Othman, who was also present at the opening, likewise spoke about the special significance of this festival in highlighting one of the EU's top priorities in its assistance to Palestine. These being water waste treatment, water sanitation and networks across the West Bank and Gaza.
"We work with the Palestinian Water Authority and try to tackle their most urgent issues in order to minimize the challenge which Palestinians face in securing their needs of water for agriculture and drinking," said Mr. Othman.
Among various foreign films, the festival includes an interesting list of Palestinian productions released last year, such as "Palestinian Dream," by Ahmad Tariq Hamad, "Farming in Despair," by Mashareq, "Every Day Nakba," by Mohammad Al Azza and "Atash," (Thirst) directed by Tawfk Abu Wael.
"Atash," which also screened at the opening last Monday, brought about a slightly heated discussion at the end of the evening when some members of the audience repeatedly asked the Director why he did not clearly represent the Israeli occupation and water issue in his film. He calmly replied that his aim was not to represent the entire situation, but only himself and his own emotions.
The 'thirst' in the film was meant to symbolize a yearning for love and freedom, not just for water. Some claimed this to be disrespectful and walked out offended. Others, however, supported the Director and acknowledged his right and freedom as a film-maker to create whatever he wishes. Mr Abu Wael pointed out that it was not he who chose the movie for the festival and could not be held accountable for any misrepresentation of subject. He was nonetheless happy to take part and collaborate.
He also humbly explained that his Palestinian identity does not omit the fact that he is firstly and above all, human, and wants to express his emotions in his own way without having to address the political issues of his country.
"'Israel is so powerful, they control everything, the land, the water, the life of the Palestinians...for me, the only way to succeed is through art," said Director Tawfik Abu Wael.
There is perhaps a fine line between artistic expression and political representation in the eyes of those who live in ongoing political conflict, where the two of them are merged and co-exist almost interchangeably. Yet it does not necessarily mean they cannot exist independent of each other.
Such a festival can clearly demonstrate that Palestinian identity is not only defined by its political struggle, it is in fact very much alive and present outside of this context. It is this strong, deep-rooted identity which makes the political struggle all the more meaningful—a crucial, encouraging fact to remember.

DALLAS (AP) -- American Airlines and US Airways agreed Wednesday to a merger that will create the world's biggest airline. The deal caps a turbulent period of bankruptcies and consolidation that leaves the U.S. airline industry dominated by four big carriers.
The boards of American parent AMR Corp. and US Airways approved the deal late Wednesday, according to four people close to the situation.
The carrier will keep the American Airlines name but will be run by US Airways CEO Doug Parker. American's CEO, Tom Horton, will serve as chairman of the new company until mid-2014, these people said. They requested anonymity because the merger negotiations were private.

The deal has been in the works since August, when creditors pushed for merger talks so they could decide which earned them a better return: a merger or Horton's plan for an independent airline. American has been restructuring under bankruptcy protection since late 2011. AMR creditors and possibly its shareholders will own 72 percent of the stock, and US Airways Group Inc. shareholders will get the rest, three of the people said.

Tax Benefits of HomeownershipFebruary 5, 2020 12:00 am
There are many financial benefits of homeownership, such as building equity and not paying rent to someone else. There are also many tax advantages available to homeowners, which makes now a fantastic time to buy a house.
Here are some of the tax deductions and benefits that are eligible to homeowners:
Mortgage Interest – Most homeowners have the ability to deduct the year's mortgage interest from their tax obligations. For most homeowners, their monthly mortgage payment is made up largely of interest, often making this a large deduction.
Closing Costs – In many cases, the year you purchase your home, you are able to claim the points paid on your home mortgage loan, even if the seller paid them. This savings can be significant, as many origination fees are 1% of the loan or more.
Property Taxes – Property taxes for your primary residence and/or vacation home are fully deductible from your tax obligations.
Home Offices – If you work from home, your home office space and expenses are tax deductible. While up to 300 square feet can be considered an office space, there are strict rules regarding this deduction. Talk to a tax professional to learn what constitutes a tax-deductible home office space.
If you are interested in speaking to an accountant about the tax benefits that homeownership can provide to you, I would love to refer you to one of my business partners. If you are considering purchasing a home or refinancing your current house, call me today so that we can discuss your options!Homebuying
