The Rancho "RS9000XL series shock absorbers allow you to control your ride quality. With 9 position tuning technology you decide how stiff or soft to set your shocks, providing up to 400% change in control. By just turning an adjuster knob located at the bottom of the body of the shock, you can switch from an off road performance shock to an on road comfort ride. Need to haul a heavy load? Just turn the adjuster knob up to 9 for a firmer more controlled ride. Dodge Truck owners now have the ability to decide what ride they like best. Rancho RS9000XL shock absorbers offer a large 2.75" (70mm) body diameter and large 18mm Nitro carb rod for performance and strength you can count on. Don't settle for just one shock when you can buy one shock that acts like 9 different shocks.

The Jesús Rafael Soto sculpture, Penetrabile, a favorite of visitors posting to Flickr, has a new look. The piece invites one to plunge into the colorful soft plastic tubing and regard the world from within a forest of glowing color.
Head objects conservator John Hirx recently oversaw the transformation of the piece. The original chartreuse tubing was replaced with new tubing in a shade that one of John's colleagues described as "Indian yellow." (Conservators are precise about such things, and John notes by way of historical interest that the term "Indian yellow" is derived from a color popular in traditional Indian miniature painting made by feeding mango leaves to cows, then collecting and drying their urine to extract the pigment—today, the pigment is synthetic, as the original method was hazardous to the cows. The tubes are not made with this pigment, but the color is a close approximation.)
Exchanging all of the tubes was no small task. John estimates that the piece requires 20,000 linear feet of the specially manufactured plastic tubing, and a complete back up set is on hand to facilitate ongoing maintenance. There are between 2,000 and 2,500 tubes suspended from the overhead grid. It took two teams working 2.5 full days just to swap out the tubes, each of which was precut to the perfect length to rest lightly on the ground, resulting in a gentle bend that catches the light. John noted that, right now, between about 11 am and 1 pm, when the sun passes across the sky overhead, those tubes sparkle and glisten in the midday sunlight.
Penetrabile, on loan from the Colección Patricia Phelps de Cisneros, is on view on the LA Times Central Court at LACMA for at least another year.

James Heffernan alerted us to New Books on Literature 19, a new book review site he's editing:
Launching on September 1, 2009, nbol-19.org is an Online Review of Books on English and American Literature of the Nineteenth Century. Sponsored by Dartmouth College and edited by James Heffernan with technical help from Thomas Luxon and editorial advice from thirty-three specialists in nineteenth-century literature, this site aims to revolutionize academic reviewing by assessing new books within ninety days of their publication, by inviting authors to respond to each review within thirty days of its submission, and by inviting comments from visitors to the site. Taking advantage of web resources, its reviews will include pictures from the books it reviews and links to relevant material on other sites. With reviewers ranging from graduate students to chaired professors and emeriti, this site has commissioned just over one hundred reviews of books published in 2009, is already posting more than twenty of them, and aims to have the rest up by next April. Meanwhile, its Books Announced list for 2009 briefly describes all the books it will review.

What's the best glassware to enjoy your wine in? Whether you buy a $125.00 Riedel Bordeaux Wine Glass at Nieman Marcus or a set of 4 Libbey Vina Red Wine Glasses – $15.49 for the whole, at Target – there are certain rules worth observing to maximize the enjoyment of a fine wine.
- Always get clear glass – Although crystal is preferred, it is expensive and only serious wine connoisseurs can justify the expense. Why clear glass? Seeing the color of the wine, unadulterated by any materials or colors from the glass is an important part of enjoying the particular potable. Besides, the wine color tells how old the wine is, what grape(s) it's made of and more.
- The glass should be large enough to release the bouquet – Never fill the glass more than half way, this allows the top of the glass to capture the bouquet or aroma of the wine as you give it a swirl. A quality wine glass tapers at the top. The bolder the wine the bigger the bowl the glass should have. A delicate wine requires a smaller bowl to bring out its best features.
- Always get a stemmed glass – This avoids your body temperature warming the wine, since you are holding the glass by the stem rather than by the bowl.
Riedel was the first company to introduce different size glasses to suit each wine type enhancing bouquet color and other fine qualities of the particular wine; many other companies, in almost every price range, followed. Not even the most fervent cognoscente will need every shape, but two or three types, especially when you know what suits which type of wine would add to the wine tasting experience.
Glassware used for a Pinot Noir or Red Burgundy are the widest and resemble a sniffer. These glasses direct the aroma to the nose while allowing ample room for the wine to air out. It's really quite remarkable how wine that is allowed to air out (even for a few minutes) tastes different and far better than a wine that was poured and tasted seconds after.
Glasses for full bodied Bordeaux and other red wines are slightly narrower and less round, but still tapered on top. Chardonnays and White Burgundy are best enjoyed in midrange bowls and are even less rounded. Ideal glasses for Sauvignon Blanc wines are smaller yet, but have a wide bowl to fully show off the flavors and aromas of these wine types. Champagne (or any sparkling wine) is best enjoyed in a tall, narrow "flute." This shape minimizes warming while letting you see the bubbles in the most attractive manner.
Non fortified dessert wines require smaller glasses, but are still rounded. Even smaller are Port glasses, which are also used for all fortified dessert wines, they show off the color while directing the bouquet to the nose through the relatively narrow top. While technically unnecessary, the Sherry glass has a more square bowl, it is smaller than a Port glass and very attractive.
Now that you have a nice collection of wine glasses, how do you care for them? Wash between uses, some experts advise washing only with hot water, while others suggest hot water with dish detergent as long as the glass is rinsed thoroughly to be free of all detergent remainder. Even a smallest amount of lemon or other such scented detergent can ruin the nose of any wine. When done, always hold up the glasses to the light to make sure they are clean. A superficially clean glass may be covered with a very fine scum which is very difficult to remove with a gentle rinsing. Such residue will adversely affect the wine especially if it is a champagne or other sparkling types, as they won't show their fizz.
Once washed let the glasses drip dry, when dry polish them to remove any unsightly water marks. Store them upright in an odor free cupboard.

A writer who calls himself a "hoaxpert" says that flamboyant pranks and deceptions allow people to "carve out a small niche of personal control" in an age of oppressive bureaucracy
By Janice Harayda
Why do people try to hoodwink others with tales of Bigfoot, crop circles or bloggers who don't exist?
Hoaxes allow their perpetrators "to carve out a small niche of personal control in a world otherwise regulated by massive, impersonal bureaucracies," Alex Boese says in The Museum of Hoaxes: A History of Outrageous Pranks and Deceptions (Plume, 266 pp., $12, paperback). So the rise of the Internet has led not just to a new wave of deceptions intended to embarrass corporate giants like Microsoft and eBay but to a second life for some old standbys of chicanery.
As an antidote, Boese offers a collection of hundreds of literary sound bites, each of which explores an aspect of the origins of a well-known hoax and tries to set the record straight. In his section on the Loch Ness Monster, he focuses on a famous photo that appears to show the slender neck of a beast rising from a lake but in fact depicts a toy submarine outfitted with a sea serpent's head. He doesn't mention that a paleontologist might have guessed as much, because no fossil evidence exists to support the presence of Nessie, either.
Boese keeps tabs on new ruses or rumors of them on his site www.museumofhoaxes.com, which he says gets a million page views per month. And since the first publication of The Museum of Hoaxes in 2002, he's written Hippo Eats Dwarf (Harvest, 278 pp., $14, paperback), which looks at other kinds of chicanery, including Nigerian bank scams and posts by fictitious bloggers.

Review: iPhone Google Maps lags Android version
Every time my husband and I drive the 677 miles from New York to my parents' house in Michigan, we dread the long stretch of Interstate 80 through the hills of rural Pennsylvania. It's beautiful, but lonely, without a lot of places to stop.
On this trip, with a little help from Google and Apple, I was determined to stay caffeinated and maybe find somewhere else to eat besides McDonald's and truck stops.
We had two iPhones and two Android phones between us, allowing me to test Google Maps on both the iPhone and Android and Apple's own mapping app for the iPhone. (There's no Apple app on Android.) These apps all have turn-by-turn voice navigation and will nag you with new directions if you make a wrong turn or try to go off-course.
I tested out the Google and Apple mapping apps before, but focused on how their walking and public-transportation functions worked in New York City. I wanted to see how they performed for driving and outside of the comfort of a major metropolitan area.
But mainly, I wanted to see how Google Maps fared compared with Apple's Maps, which kicked Google Maps off the iPhone in September. That meant Google had no mapping app on the iPhone until it released a replacement in December. Google Maps with voice navigation has been on Android phones since 2009. I also wanted to see if the Android and iPhone versions have all the same bells and whistles. (Spoiler alert: They don't).
We set off from New York with our easily bored 3-year-old daughter strapped in the back seat. I fired up the phones and set courses for my parents' home in Haslett, Mich. (just outside Lansing, for those too lazy to Google it).
The two versions of Google Maps and the Apple software pretty much gave me the same directions and time estimate — just over 10 hours, though we were planning on 12 with stops.
We usually take a break at a Panera Bread bakery about an hour into Pennsylvania, but our daughter was napping and we weren't really hungry. So we threw ourselves at the mercy of Google and Apple and hoped that they would find us something in an hour or two.
As we wound through the hills, with my husband driving, I watched the little blue arrows on my phones move across the state and checked out the different features each mapping program offered.
The Android version of Google Maps has the most toys and the most beautiful graphics. The bars and dry cleaners visible on its street maps of New York get replaced by the names of rivers and small-town roads in the distance.
By comparison, both iPhone apps seem bare bones, which isn't too surprising as the Android app had a head start of three years. Apple's fancy 3-D graphics largely melt away when you get out of the city.
The Android version allows me to select "layers" for my map showing such things as traffic and nearby businesses.
The restaurant layer proved very helpful when my daughter started getting cranky and we needed to make an unplanned stop.
The traffic layer, which lights up in red, yellow and green depending on the amount of traffic, also was particularly helpful on the way back to New York. It warned us of a monster backup on the George Washington Bridge and estimated how long that would delay us in case we wanted to take an alternate route. We took our chances with the bridge. While the delay wasn't quite as bad as we feared it would be, it was definitely helpful to know about it ahead of time.
The iPhone version of Google Maps doesn't offer layers at all. And while the Apple software does offer some traffic information, you can't see it in the form of a layer when you're in navigation mode as you can with the Android version.
The Android version also allows you to set a final destination and search for places along your route, while Google's iPhone app doesn't.
Apple lets me do this by using the Siri voice assistant on my iPhone. By hitting the home button and saying "Starbucks," I got the closest locations.
That's what we did a few hours into Pennsylvania when our caffeine withdrawal headaches started to kick in and our daughter was getting antsy.
To my surprise, both Siri and the Android phones located a Starbucks in a small town just a few miles off the freeway. We easily got there, but found it was on the campus of Bloomsburg University, which appeared closed for the holidays.
So, we got back on the highway and headed to the next location, in Williamsport. Unfortunately, we never made it to that Starbucks either. Apple and Google both took us to a residential section of a small town, with no Starbucks in sight.
I still don't know if I did something wrong or if there was an error in the mapping software. Considering that both sent me to a store whose existence I later verified, I'm more inclined to blame my caffeine-deprived brain than the phones.
We never did find a Starbucks before leaving Pennsylvania or a cute mom-and-pop restaurant to eat at. But when we finally caved to our daughter's demands and decided to stop at the next exit, I did use the restaurants layer on one of the Android phones to locate an Arby's. Not exactly haute cuisine, but it's a guilty pleasure from childhood of mine, and all three of us got the break we needed.
I also used the feature on the trip back to New York to find a Mexican restaurant that we had eaten at a few years ago outside of Youngstown, Ohio. Unfortunately, it had yet to open for the day, so I used the software to locate and read online reviews about another Mexican place down the road. We ended up having a nice meal there.
It's worth mentioning that this is one of those times smartphones with larger screens help. The Samsung Galaxy Note II I was using let me easily look at what businesses are available off exits far down the road. Even if my iPhone had been able to show me these things, it would have been tough to view them on its comparatively tiny screen (3.5 inches diagonally on my older Apple 4S, compared with the Note's 5.5 inches).
Another nice feature available on the Android, but not Google's iPhone app or Apple's software, is that the phone's screen enters a night mode when you're driving at night. The background turns dark, so it's not as distracting.
One drawback with Android phones: They have a hard time finding enough juice, even when plugged into the car's charger. In fact, the HTC Droid DNA I was using gave me two warnings that my energy usage was outpacing the power going into my phone. A colleague had a similar problem using two other Android phones. By contrast, the iPhone seems to stay fully charged if you plug it in.
Of course, I could shut one Android phone down while I use another, but this probably isn't an option for most people.
After we got to Michigan, the phones also proved useful for quick little trips in town. That included a last-minute trip to a Toys 'R Us that I couldn't quite remember the location of. I also got to a restaurant that was slightly off the beaten path.
Bottom line is that when you're on the road, all three programs will probably get you where you're going. They offer clear maps and audible instructions that are easy to understand. They give you the directions you need with plenty of time to make turns and get in the appropriate lane of traffic. And when you inevitably do miss a turn or highway exit, they are quick to recalculate your route.
But for those who want an experience and information that rivals those provided by a vehicle GPS system, Google Maps for Android is the way to go. Just don't forget your car charger.

Appeal by 'Desperate Housewives' actress denied
LOS ANGELES (AP) — The California Supreme Court has declined to review Nicollette Sheridan's lawsuit over the demise of her role on "Desperate Housewives."
The state's high court said Friday it would deny an appeal by the actress in her wrongful termination case against ABC and Touchstone Television.
Sheridan said she was fired because she claimed she was hit in the head by series creator Marc Cherry. ABC attorneys claimed Sheridan's contract simply was not renewed.
In March jurors deadlocked after a two-week trial. An appeals court found in August that Sheridan was not entitled to a new trial, but should be allowed to file an amended lawsuit claiming she was retaliated against because she complained about her boss.
"Desperate Housewives" concluded its eight-season run this year.
Calls to Sheridan's representatives were not immediately returned Sunday.

How you drive can make your car greener
Whether you want to save a bit on gas or to help the environment, learning how to drive "greener" can come in handy.
"The key to EcoDriving is that anyone can do it, in any vehicle, and best of all, it's easy," said Dave McCurdy, president and CEO of the Alliance of Automobile Manufacturers.
The alliance is a trade association of 11 car and light truck manufacturers, including the Big Three of Chrysler, Ford and General Motors, along with others such as BMW, Volkswagen and Toyota.
The alliance sponsored an effort to encourage more drivers to take simple steps to improve their fuel efficiency and reduce their carbon footprints.
The EcoDrive effort aims to produce the highest mileage from every one of the roughly 245 million vehicles, regardless of size or age, in the U.S.
The EcoDrive website includes tips for greener driving, along with a calculator that lets visitors figure out their carbon dioxide emissions and a virtual road test to try out their new-found knowledge.
"It's time that we all begin taking the steps necessary to reduce our carbon footprint," McCurdy said.
Driver versus car
You won't get any argument from Gil Portalatin, hybrid propulsion system applications manager for Ford. Portalatin believes that great mileage comes from not the car itself, but from the driver.
And becoming a "greener" driver isn't that hard, he said.
"I watch people drive and waste gas every day," Portalatin said. "Most drivers don't pay attention to the flow of traffic. If you're in traffic, you know you're going to stop again, so anticipate that stop by easing off the accelerator pedal early and coasting as much as you can."
He also advocates driving with the terrain and going for a smooth ride. Since it takes more energy to climb a hill than to roll down the other side, it's OK to lose a few miles per hour while driving up a hill. That lost speed can be regained by coasting down the other side, he said.
"Some drivers will be better off just driving with their cruise control," he said.
Smooth driving
Cruise control plays a big part in EcoDriving. The U.S. Department of Transportation estimates that using cruise control for 10,000 of the miles a typical motorist drives in a year could save nearly $200 and more than 60 gallons of fuel.
But EcoDriving doesn't stop there. Like Portalatin's smooth driving suggestion, keeping a constant pace and not speeding will end up saving in the long run. Not exceeding 60 mph can improve mileage by up to 23 percent, McCurdy said. Most cars get the most efficient mileage figures between 45 and 55 miles per hour. Any jump to 65 mph significantly reduces fuel efficiency, while a further jump to 75 mph over long periods can result in an expensive return to the pumps.
That steady speed can also pay off when it comes to the bane of all commuters: traffic lights. Since they are often synchronized so that a motorist driving at a specific speed will pass through a series of green lights without stopping, a steady speed will help drivers avoid being stuck at red lights.
Some newer hybrid models even come with modes that can help you obtain maximum fuel efficiency with minimum effort, according to AAA.
A couple of manufacturers have gone a step farther and integrated visual cues into their instrument panel displays that help teach motorists how to drive more efficiently.
In the Ford Fusion hybrid, a plant grows branches and leaves when the car is driven in a fuel efficient manner and withers as economy goes down. The 2010 Honda Insight hybrid has a speedometer display that varies in color from blue to green as efficiency increases; it also offers guidance on braking techniques.
Stuck in traffic
If you do find yourself stuck at a long stop light, Craig Howie of AOL Auto suggests simply turning off the engine.
As Howie notes, several police departments have started prohibiting their officers from idling patrol cars at traffic stops and crime scenes. Regular drivers can also save by switching off the engine at long lights, when waiting in heavy traffic or when waiting to pick someone up.
An even better tip from Howie involves a little more work and planning. He suggests lightening the load your vehicle is hauling and combining trips.
"Clearing all that junk out of your car — in some cases heavy junk like golf clubs, car parts or kids' toys — can result in significant savings," he said. "The EPA estimates that for every 100 pounds of weight your car carries, fuel efficiency dips by 2 percent."
Starting and stopping for separate trips to the grocery store, salon and video store uses up more gas and is worse for the environment, Howie said. Vehicles emit more pollutants in the first minutes after startup, as their emissions systems haven't fully warmed and are functioning less efficiently.
But what about the car?
Not every green driving tip focuses on changing your driving habits. There are steps you can take with your vehicle that will help save you some green and the environment at the same time.
The website FuelEconomy.gov, a joint effort between the U.S. Department of Energy and the Environmental Protection Agency, stresses the importance of keeping your engine properly tuned.
The site suggests that a properly-tuned engine can provide efficiency savings of 4 percent. Checking and replacing air filters provides another 10 percent and proper tire pressure 3.3 percent. Using a motor oil that says "energy conserving" on the API performance label can give you another 1 to 2 percent in efficiency savings.
And even when and how you fill up your car can play a part.
AAA suggests the best time to fill your car is at cooler temperatures. That's because gas fumes heat up at warmer temps and create ozone. AAA also recommends against topping off the tank, which can release gas fumes into the air, canceling the benefits of the gas pump's anti-pollution devices.

Reggie Bush could be screwed. USC will be screwed. The upshot: SO WHAT NEXT?!
Congratulations to Yahoo! Sports on the site's biggest scoop ever and by far the biggest story of the day/week/month in sports:
An investigation that busts Reggie Bush for taking $100K in freebies from would-be (and will-be) marketing reps -- a follow-up to their original scoop a few months ago first peeling back the onion on this.Here's the direct link to their story.
The whole scandal raises three key questions:
One of the most frustrating things about college sports scandals is that the player who does the damage is rarely punished – he's off to his millions in the NFL, virtually untouchable, leaving everyone else to deal with the crap.
Except in this case. There is something punitive that can be done to Bush that would hit him where it really hurts:
Take away his Heisman. Call it my "Heisman His Heisman" campaign.
He may have been the most exciting player ever in college football, but that doesn't mean he can't make himself ineligible for the Heisman Trophy.
I'd strip Bush of the trophy and give it to runner-up Vince Young. That's adding insult to injury. (And righting a wrong: The Rose Bowl proved that VY deserved the Heisman last year.)
I like Dan Wetzel's first-to-market argument that the NCAA take away USC's 2004 national title.
The most fascinating upshot? That makes
It's too bad that the rest of the team would have to pay for Bush's mistakes; that's perpetually the biggest injustice of NCAA sanctions.
(And speaking of sanctions, the NCAA has got to punish the program going forward, beyond retroactively stripping them of their national title. I'd take away two years of bowl eligibility. If I was the Pac-10, I'd throw in a year of not being allowed on TV. That's the 21st century equivalent of the old 1980s "death penalty." No TV? Nooo!!!)
Yahoo has a report that the RBs coach knew about the Bush situation and didn't do anything about it. That guy better polish up his resume. Maybe Reggie can get him a job cleaning toilets for the Saints.
But I think it would be a mistake to let Pete Carroll off the hook, simply because he claims not to have known anything.
As the head of the program – its CEO, effectively – he is responsible for what happens. To think that he didn't keep tabs on his best player either shows remarkable willful negligence -- or remarkable willful stupidity. With either excuse, do you really want that guy coaching your team?
I'm sure USC will slap him on the wrist, but let's please not accept his "I didn't know nuthin'" plausible deniability. It was his JOB to keep his players – and program – clean.
Comments spin-off question: What's your take on this entire thing? If it's all true, what's the most appropriate punishment? How do you reconcile the inability to really punish Bush with all the weight of his infractions falling on the USC program? Where's USC's culpability in all this? What do you think of my "Strip-the-Heisman" idea?

El Dorado Bathtubs for the Elderly & Disabled
Make bath time relaxing again with walk-in and step-in bathtubs for the elderly and disabled. Sacramento Walk In Tubs provides complete bathtub replacement services, delivering attractive and functional alternative tub layouts and design for those who struggle to use a traditional bath for any reason.
As we get older, it can be very difficult to do things that we often take for granted, such as bathing. It will be difficult to get in and out of the bathtub because our mobility is greatly reduced, and a single slip can lead to severe injuries. Disabled people will also find it hard to bathe, especially if their disability affects their mobility greatly.
Here at Sacramento Walk In Tubs, we understand the necessity to make things easier for our loved ones to maintain their hygiene with comfort and ease. With our help, you get the right type of bathtubs that are accessible to your loved ones. We can also modify your existing bathroom space and add the right accessibility features. All our recommendations will be within your budget and last for a long time once they are installed.
Call Sacramento Walk In Tubs at (916) 999-5833 for a Free Consultation!
Accessible Bathtubs For Limited Mobility
Bathrooms can be very dangerous for the elderly and the disabled if they do not have the right features that will help them move around easily. Not all bathrooms are equipped with mobility features because they can be very expensive to install.
Some of the accidents people can meet in bathrooms are caused by wet surfaces coming from showers and bathtubs. These can lead to falls and slips, which can be bad if one already has a disability or mobility problems.
A great way to prevent bathing-related accidents is by getting the right bathtub for them to use. In this case, walk-in bathtubs are the way to go. These bathtubs come with a cut-out in the side that can be closed by a waterproof door. Users simply open the door, step in the bathtub, and close it again so that they can enjoy the tub like a traditional tub.
Getting the Right Bathtub
When purchasing a walk-in tub, you need to make sure that the tub you will get matches your requirements. Here are the things you need to consider when getting a walk-in tub:
- Needs – When buying the right walk-in tub, you need to consider what your family needs. Can it handle wheelchairs? Does it have hydrotherapy?
- Bathroom Space – You also have to consider the bathroom space where the tub will be installed. Walk-in tubs are both taller and wider than traditional tubs. If they do not fit your current bathroom, you will incur more installation fees.
- Hot/warm water capacity – Some walk-in bathtubs require 50 gallons of hot water to keep it warm during a bath. You may want to opt for bathtubs that come with an automatic heater to keep the water warm at all times.
- Safety- Walk-in tubs are ideal for those looking for additional safety features to be added to their bathroom. Look for walk-in tubs that come with non-slip floors, low-step in configuration, bath rails, and quick drainage capacity.
If you want some help in selecting the right walk-in tubs for your needs, we can help you out. We can recommend the right tubs that will match your needs and even your budget.
Features That Make Bathing Easier
We can work with all types of bath systems and modify them based on the needs of the elderly and the disabled in your family.
We can install handrails, seats, anti-slip floors, and remodel your current bathtubs if you don't want to buy a new tub for your bathroom. We will follow your needs and work with the space that you have to achieve the ideal bath image you want for your bathroom.
For walk-in tubs, we can add other benefits like seats, remove the barriers, and add jets for hydrotherapy. We can even customize your tub for you so that it fits your bathroom space easily. All the materials we will use for the tub are long-lasting and durable, serving as extra protection from mold, mildew, and damage.
Every project we make, we try our best to do it within a day. Most of the fixtures and upgrades we do allow us to be this efficient. We work methodically and focus only on the areas that need to be modified. This enables users to use the other parts of the bathroom they need without problems and reduce further fees from being incurred.

Those who have been following this blog know that we love good photography. I was delighted, therefore, when the opportunity arose of attending two shoots Irving Schild was doing for Kosher Inspired Magazine's upcoming stories to appear in their Pessach issue
I've known Irving Schild for a number of years and have always admired his work, always marveled at his wonderful eye for detail, his eye for the unusual. I've seen his photos from a pilgrimage to Reb Nachman Bratzlaver's kever, a trip to Morocco, and to the wilds of Africa, etc. In each case, one not only sees an image, one experiences the soul behind it.
In a black and white shot of a quickly improvised shtibl in Uman you can feel the fervor, you can almost hear the words and the lilt of the heartfelt prayer; you anticipate the rhythmic shockle of the participants at each sound. As you look at his photos of Zulu warriors, their fierceness grips you, the piercing eyes cut right through you. When I saw the images of his Morocco trip, I was suddenly transported to the Mellah where the street sounds and the aromas were in my ears, in my nostrils.
Who is Irving Schild? What makes him click? He was born in Belgium, but in 1939 the family had to flee at the approach of the Nazis. They moved from country to country; with the liberation of Rome – by the Allies – in 1944 the Schilds were part of a 1000 carefully selected refugees invited to the US by President Roosevelt, as guests of this country. When WWII was over, the family opted to apply for immigrant status rather than return to Europe.
Irving served in the US Marine Corps and was trained as a combat photographer at the Army Signal Corps School in Monmouth, NJ. After the army, he attended Cooper Union in NYC where he studied graphics design. He went on to become art director at various well known advertising agencies. Eventually he decided to take advantage of his army training. He opened a commercial photography studio in Manhattan and soon his photos graced the pages of Life, MacCall's, Esquire, Paris Match and more. For the last 40 years he has traveled the world on assignment for MAD Magazine. He recently retired from teaching at New York City's Fashion Institute of Technology where he served as Chairman of the Photography Department. During his tenure at FIT he trained many students who went to become much talked about luminaries in their field. Though partially retired, he indefatigably continues to do commercial photography for various clients. His work has been recognized through numerous awards.
He has done food photography for major magazines including Bon Appetit, McCall's and most recently Kosher Inspired. He often does his own food styling, applying the lessons learned during his four decades in professional photography plus his experience as an art director. He is currently hard at work on a collection of photographs celebrating the renaissance of Jewish life around the world.
A good photographer does not content himself with the camera's result; certainly as he shoots he tries his best, but the work continues after the camera is packed away…
Some may find the above sample all too easy, but there were many other shots during these two days where the final result was not so obvious at first, yet in every instance the finished product was a true work of art.
Following Irving Schild for two days, as he conquered the problems of lighting, as he toiled on finding the perfect composition, as he took memorable photos, as he post processed the shots, was truly an education. He taught me how to see and how to feel my subject, I hope I may yet prove a worthy student.

Oil Sludge
CarComplaints.com Notes: The Dodge Stratus, Intrepid & other Chrysler sedans are infamous for oil sludge problems with the 2.7L V6 engine. If someone offers to sell you a 2.7L V6 model, it's only worth the price of the scrap metal it's going to shortly turn into.
NOTE: Only the 2.7L V6 has the oil sludge problem. Our "Avoid like the Plague" designation is ONLY for models with the 2.7L V6 engine. All other available engines are very reliable with no major problems.
Even with regular maintenance, the oil sludge defect eventually destroys the 2.7L engine typically around 80,000-100,000 miles. The only true fix we know about is to put in the larger 3.2L engine, which has a great reputation. Also the 2.4L engine doesn't have the oil sludge problem.
This issue was never deemed a safety defect by the Feds, so there was no recall. In the end, Chrysler got away with FOUR YEARS worth of defective 2.7L V6 engines in their sedans.

Yesterday was the biggest traffic day in our blog's short history, surpassing even that notorious date in 2009 when Potato Pete leveled Teddy Roosevelt in Pittsburgh, and the way today is trending, the record may fall fast.
Why all the excitement? Wednesday night's appearance of a super-sized John F. Kennedy certainly drew a ton of attention, but the headline that followed last night stirred the pot to a degree not usually seen in our harmless little world.
Quite a few Phillies fans, as it turns out, have taken offense.
After being named Worst Sports Fans in America this month by GQ Magazine, some of the Phillies' faithful are crusading to correct what they see as an unfair stereotype.
So when I published Phillies Fan Ejected for Punching Thomas Jefferson, I was pilloried for jumping to conclusions.
Well, pilloried might not be the right word, but the boo-birds did come out of the woodwork, calling it bullsh–, calling me an ass and a jerk, calling DC fans classless and drunks, and otherwise generally dishing the brotherly love.
Yes, the headline was intended to be provocative. But even though Bob Carpenter had said on the MASN broadcast that it was a Phillies fan, and all evidence supports the allegation, I noted in the write-up that the fan in question was not, in fact, wearing Phillies gear.
Will anybody step forward to verify the fan's identity? As the comments continue to pour in here, the question has since been taken up by discussion forums up and down I-95, plus Dan Steinberg's DC Sports Bog, Half Smokes, and Yahoo's Big League Stew (which contributed the photo illustration above).
Or as a fan on MLB.com pointed out, "Maybe it was just a fan trying to finally get Teddy Roosevelt a win in the race."
UPDATE: Confirmed.

GAZA, (PIC)– Gaza premier Ismail Haneyya said that the scheduled visit of Turkish premier Recep Tayyip Erdogan to Gaza had signaled the end of US hegemony in the region.
Haneyya welcomed and appreciated, in a terse statement in Doha on Tuesday, Erdogan's visit to Gaza.
He said that the visit reflected the extent of Ankara's support for the Palestine cause and people.
Erdogan had said that his plan to visit Gaza would not change in response to a request by American secretary of state John Kerry to postpone the visit.

These lists, do not display the avoidable mortality. A clear and statistical factual evidence, about the number of deaths due to indecent ruling by occupation forces. For even an occupier has obligations under International Laws, Geneva Convention and the Hague regulations, which it is neglecting. These circumstances, together with deliberate policies of the occupier to neglect and even deny every basic human right, severes avoidable mortality which is totally silenced by media or reporting organisations. While in the Holocaust, 1 on 6 Jewish people directly died of deliberate neglect, so if we believe the facts over 1 million due to avoidable mortality, neither should these same circumstances be ignores which are ongoing in Palestine. For this report displays a avoidable morality of at least 0,5 million Palestinians.
How many more dead corpses of Palestinians does the international community need to see in order to act? How many more cruelties and violations of Human Rights, Regulations and International Law will be needed to intervene so this ongoing warcrime is being stopped once and for all?
The Rockets from Gaza Excuse
The Facts
So you only read melodramatic stories about home made unguided firecrackers flying from Gaza, zionism magnifying the flares untill the average ignorant thinks we're talking 12 meter high nuclear head detonation (chemical nuclear or toxic) loaded warhead carrrying long range missiles.
While in fact, the "TENS OF THOUSANDS ROCKETS" which are allegedly "launched" by Gaza are non detonating, non guided and seldom hit any target at all regarding the alleged number of "rockets" we can easily state it is more a matter of high unlikely a Gaza rocket hits anything at all even more unlikely the chances it will kill.
Total Deaths from Qassams and mortars within Israel as from 2001 according to the "Israel Project": 21 in 10 years
So let's behold, the tens of thousands rockets which allegedly were launched: They killed 21 people if internationals counted as well, including Palestinians 29. 29 death from 10′s of thousands of rockets in 10 years, and 29 too many too.
To retaliate these deaths Israel commits the following attacks (kindly notice, all related posts are covered by media, reports and international organisations:
The Counterfacts
Gaza Under Israeli Attacks – Timeline Military Operations on Gaza
For all attacks all over Palestine check the Category → Attacks
For all attacks and violation of Law and crimes against → Children

For all assassinations by Israel → Assassinations
For all kidnap attacks by Israel → Kidnapping & Abductions
For all unlawfull incursion attacks by Israel → Incursions

So you did read in worldwide newspapers and media about a home made flare or "flying" from Gaza towards the occupied desert?
But you never read about the DAILY attacks by army, airforce, navy, police, intelligence, undercover agents AND settlers which happen on land from the air and from and on the sea in Gaza as well as in the West Bank? The tens of thousands rockets from Gaza killed as said 29 people inside occupied territories in 10 years.
Aside 10′s of Thousands rockets did hit 29 people they only hit The Israeli Qassam Rocket counter and Israeli (influenced media which is 96% of worlds media)
Your media did not cover it:
Israel detonated the 1st bomb ever in the diaspora & introduced terrorism: Learn a/ Menachim Begin
Neither about the fight of Real Judaism against Zionism which older than Israel itself, read the
130 Year record of jewish opposition against zionism
Even Einstein warned for it. Real Smart Jewish people know and knew
Einstein's Letter Warning Of Zionism/Facism In Israel
For the sceptics: It was published in the New York Times
Original scans from microfilm of NYT Dec 4, 1948
Einstein's letter to the Stern terror gang when it solicitated him to raise fund in the US
But #US is keeping the facts from the people, serving Israel and silencing while The power of lies, deceptions and disinformation as Americans pay the price of collective stupidity which is funneled up by their gov't. Silencing the facts the giv't knows too well:
The Facts US is aware of and hiding for you
But Checkpoint Washington is like Bibi explains
Netanyahu: 'America is a thing you can move very easily'
Now we behold the real cost of human lives which has 2 sides
- Deaths due violent attack
- Deathd due to passive aggression (so called avoidable mortality)
This year 2011, Israel killed 239 people with direct violence
Siince the year 2000, Israel killed 1472 children
This year only, Israel killed, in Gaza only: 19 children, wounded 200 by shelling | Report
Deaths at Checkpoints
You only hear of death or possible death at a checkpoint, when a pregnant American reporter get's forced 3 times after eachother to go through the X-Ray at a checkpoint.
Only than, media makes a little noise about possible (!) danger for the foetus. 18.000 women a year develop complications due to this policies and 35 children have died since start of monitoring of the effects of obstruction or entrance to medical aid
Avoidable Death of Pregnant women & their Unborn at Israeli Checkpoints – incl video
71 Palestinian Women Forced to Labor at Checkpoints-Israelis Deny Women Access to Hospitals, Clinics
Obstruction to medical aid or infringement of aid cost many lives in Palestine:
B'tselem Report | Death due to infringement on humanright of medical care: 2000 -2011
(This list only displays the direct reported effects of death by policies or denial to healthcare, while te real avoidable mortality rate due to deliberate deprivation of basic needs is much higher.)
For a comparision: During the Holocaust 1 in 6 Jewish people died due to deliberate deprivation of Nazi policies, causing death of 1 million Jewish people. A warcrime. Remembered every year. And this is justified to remember people which are slain in the awful Nazi war
Aside from the number of deaths in Palestine, it is widely silenced that Israel not only in Palestine cause many deaths, but also in Egypt, Syria, Lebanon, Jordan and beyond.
From 1967-2005 0,5 Million Palestinians died due to all other factors causing avoidable mortality or so called excess death
If you have no idea about the effects of deprivation meet Baby Firas:
Baby Firas – video
Or read about the effects of cuts of electricity for example for patients in need of dialysis:
Since 2007, 67 patients in need of dialysis or other treatment unavailable in Gaza have died
While International Law states:
Geneva Convention
Articles 55 and 56 of the Fourth Geneva Convention clearly establish that Israel, as the occupying power, not only has a duty to ensure medical supplies reach hospitals in the OPT, but to ensure and maintain the services of the hospitals too. As High Contracting Parties to the Geneva Conventions, other states not only have a moral duty but also a legal obligation to ensure Israel abides by its commitments to the protected population of the OPT.
UN Convention of the Rights of the Child
As a States Party to the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child, Israel is obliged under Article 24 of the treaty to recognise the right of every child under its effective jurisdiction "to the enjoyment of the highest attainable standard of health and to facilities for the treatment of illness and rehabilitation of health. States Parties shall strive to ensure that no child is deprived of his or her right of access to such health care services".
In deliberate deprivation for Israel is refusing to lend a permit for repairs, supplies or denies entry of fuel:
Murder by denying repairs or materials to arrange basic life sustaining needs
That is is deliberate targeted to Palestinians may be proven by the fact that Israel donates streetlights to African countries to prevent traffic deaths, but demolishes 'Imneizils (by Spain funded) solar systems which also provide the hospital, schools and the whole village of basic electricity needs:
If Israel would be able to "turn off" the sun above #Palestine, It would" ~ in pictures
Israel floods dams deliberately in Gaza, or deprives Gaza of repair materials for the aquifier (which also not works without power by the way) Causing only 5% of the water is fit to drink.
A fact which is known by world authorities on WHO since 2006.
Water-borne diseases cause 26 %of Illnesses
But Israel has become exactly as those it feared and hated once themselves. Than it accused beginning of December 2011 Ireland for being the most hostile country in the EU, because it compared Israeli soldiers to Nazis. You make the comparision. Judge for yourself:
HaShoah versus Al Nakba – in pictures
Or worse, it even kills life before it is born and "shows off" zionism proudly, the trophy pictures Israel does not want you to see:

Deliberate extermination by neglect:
Slow death' [is] the Israeli system for exterminating prisoners
More than 200 Palestinians died in Israeli prisons due to the illegal Israeli policies of medical negligence since Israel occupied the rest of Palestine in 1967.
Several Palestinians were shot and killed by the arresting soldiers and officers.
Since the beginning of the Occupation in 1967, over 750,000 Palestinians have been arrested by Israel. Almost 95% of them have been subjected to some form of torture or cruel, inhuman and degrading treatment.
Since 1967, over 105 documented torture techniques have been used by Israel. At least 66 Palestinians have been tortured to death.
Israel itself adopted by enactment in March 2011 a mine clearance law, but only valid as it seems for Israeli grounds, for Golan is still paved and remaing 1 million personell mines stay in the soil of Palestinian occupied teritories
Those mines costed only for example in Golan (by Israel occupied Syria) 16 deaths
Many more deaths Israel caused by the left behind in for example Lebanon
Unexploded ordinances, also are a common (!) danger throughout Palestine, where daily invasions of Israeli forces often result in explosives, ordinances and tank shells that are (deliberately) left behind.
It is often children who are the victims of these unexploded ordinances, as they are naturally curious and drawn to the strange objects left by the army.
Not to forget, the kind of weapons Israel uses: US funded White Phosphorus, GBU-39 Bunker Busters with 75kg depleted uranium each, DIME, toxic, and other chemical warfare like CS gas (which last killed the first protester of this year 2011 Jawaher Abu Rahma on Jan 1 2011)
Special Topic: Israel's Weapons a Crime on Humanity
More footage of Israel's arsenal of weaponry
As you can read in the previous post these weapons not only kill instantly but also have long term risk effects for health, can cause diseases and/or death in the end. (even in Egypt and Israel itsaelf)
Only(!) during the war 2008-2009, Gaza police have put the weight of weapons dropped on the Strip by Israel during the war two years ago at over 3000 tons.
Tahseen Saad, head of the police force's explosives engineering unit, indicated that a lot of the weapons used were illegal under international law. Occupation forces used different types of bombs with the most significant ones weighing between 150 – 500 Kg. Most controversial weapons were/are used including white phosphorous bombs which are illegal to use in populated areas.
Furtheron Israel used an assortment of missiles, such as anti-tank guided missiles, against civilians and their vehicles. Israeli army used bombs that dispersed red smoke made up of explosives and tungsten. When the bomb is dropped it sprayed a liquid which creates fog and in less than a second it disappears and the bomb explodes.
Reminder that Israel also murders people in Gaza by remote control: Israel's video game killing technology . These drones which fly 24/7 365 days a year over Gaza/West Bank as well for several purposes like espionage,
Remote killing technology & surveillance but also precise and remote "liquidation"
The effect of the weapons is not limited to killing. Weapons containing materials that are forbidden under international accords, such as phosphorous, tungsten and uranium, spread cancer in the targeted population, destroy nature and cause terrible burns and amputations. Some of the consequences, like foetal abnormalities, are not immediately apparent.
So next time you see Israel telling, they had another rocket "attack" remember it has the most advanced Iron Dome system which indeed intercepts missiles if there are any REAL ones.
Remember also. Gaza… does have no dome at all. No iron dome, and no dome of Human Rights. It is indiscriminately bombed by F16′s, surveilled and attacked by drones, shelled by tanks, shelled & bombed by navy ships, from coast or at sea, and invasions on the land occur almost daily.
All the above is just a fraction of aggression regarding to the presumptions about the so called waves of rockets from Gaza and to put this into a more realistic perspective.
This is by no means a complete overview and this list can be made exhausting if we go name all passive and direct aggression, oppression in any way imaginable which Israel or it's settlers impose on Palestinians.
The Right to Self-Defense of Palestine
For who does still not understand the (need or concept of) resistance of Palestine recommended read:
The Eagle of Palestine
The Palestinian Right of Self-Defense against this disproportional power and agression of " Israel"
Palestinian right to fight occupation not only moral, but legal as well ~ by @myaguarnieri
The average civilian in Palestine has no more of self defense than a stone he or she can throw.
24 Years ago Palestinians massively engaged in civil disobedience and we're heavily suppressed, which happens even today. Even last friday a unarmed civilian protester Mustafa Tamimi was murdered by the Israeli army. There is still not even evidence he even had a stone.
Overview ▶ With surgical precision Israel shot Mustafa Tamimi & deliberately delayed aid. He died. – pictures & videos
And remember
The First Intifada | انتفاضة – in pictures
24 Years later Palestinians living under occupation for 64 years now, still only have a stone, and some flares while the daily disproportional violence and aggression of the occupier, the collective punishment and the daily oppression and exiling is influencing 11 Million Lives in Palestine but most still outside, unable to return to their home.
While International Law – Universal Declaration of Human Rights states:
UDHR Art 13(1)
"Everyone has the right 2 freedom of movement & residence within the borders of each state"
UDHR Art 13(2)
" Everyone has the right to leave any country, including his own, and to return to his country"
"No one shall be arbitrarily deprived of his property."
"Everyone has the right to freedom of peaceful assembly and association."
"No one may be compelled to belong to an association."
UDHR Art 9:
"No one shall be subjected to arbitrary arrest, detention or exile"
UDHR Art 5:
"No one shall be subjected to torture or to cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment."
UDHR Art 3:
"Everyone has the right to life, liberty and security of person
"Everyone has the right to a nationality"
All of the Human Rights above, are not valid in Palestine. Just because Israel unilateral decided Palestinians have no rights at all, of no kind at all. Even when this means they pretend to be a Jewish state, violating not even international law, regulations, but also every divine law.
Something to ponder about…
For who not sees or who's eyes are still closes. IOA has become exactly and even worse than those, they feared and hated once themselves. Using the same atrocities, policies to oppress, ethnically cleanse and eradicate human beings. Creating a new Shoah (Holocaust) for the Palestinians in 1948 with Al Nakba, and sustaining it by hasbara and the world's ignorance or at least those not using their own mind to reconsider the realistic facts. So Hasbara in 16 words explained:
"Make the lie big, make it simple, keep saying it, and eventually they will believe it…"
~ Joseph Goebbels

text:
One of the new ideas in Perl 6 is the metaoperator, an operator which combines with an ordinary operator in order to change its behaviour. There are several of them, but in this post we will concentrate on just two of them:
X and
X operator is one you might already have seen in its ordinary role as the infix cross operator. It combines lists together, one element from each, in every combination:
> say ((1, 2) X ('a', 'b')).perl ((1, "a"), (1, "b"), (2, "a"), (2, "b"))
However, this
infix:<X> operator is actually just a shorthand for the
X metaoperator applied to the list concatenation operator
infix:<,>. Indeed, you're perfectly at liberty to write
> say ((1, 2) X, (10, 11)).perl ((1, 10), (1, 11), (2, 10), (2, 11))
If you like. So what happens if you apply
X to a different infix operator? How about
> say ((1, 2) X+ (10, 11)).perl (11, 12, 12, 13)
What's it done? Instead of creating a list of all the elements picked for each combination, the operator applies the addition infix to them, and the result is not a list but a single number, the sum of all the elements in that combination.
This works for any infix operator you care to use. How about string concatenation,
> say ((1, 2) X~ (10, 11)).perl ("110", "111", "210", "211")
Or perhaps the numeric equality operator
> say ((1, 2) X== (1, 1)).perl (Bool::True, Bool::True, Bool::False, Bool::False)
But this post is also meant to be about the
Z metaoperator. We expect you may have already figured out what it does, if you've encountered the
infix:<Z> operator before, which is of course just a shortcut for
Z,. If a Haskell programmer understands
infix:<Z> as being like the
zip function, then the
Z metaoperator is like
> say ((1, 2) Z, (3, 4)).perl ((1, 3), (2, 4)) > say ((1, 2) Z+ (3, 4)).perl (4, 6) > say ((1, 2) Z== (1, 1)).perl (Bool::True, Bool::False)
Z, then, operates on each element of each list in turn, working on the first elements together, then the second, then the third for however many there are. It stops when it reaches the end of a list regardless of which side that list is on.
Z is also lazy, so you can apply it to two infinite lists and it will only generate as many results as you need.
X can only handle an infinite list on the left, otherwise it would never manage to get anywhere at all.
At the time of writing, Rakudo appears to suffer from a bug where
infix:<Z> and
infix:<Z,> are not identical: the former produces a flattened result list. S03 shows that the behaviour of the latter is correct.
These metaoperators, then, become powerful tools for performing operations encompassing the individual elements of multiple lists, whether those elements are associated in some way based on their indexes as with
Z, or whether you just want to examine all possible combinations with
Got a list of keys and values and you want to make a hash? Easy!
my %hash = @keys Z=> @values;
Or perhaps you want to iterate over two lists in parallel?
for @a Z @b -> $a, $b { ... }
Or three?
for @a Z @b Z @c -> $a, $b, $c { ... }
Or maybe you want to find out all the possible totals you could get from rolling three ten-sided dice:
my @d10 = 1 ... 10; my @scores = (@d10 X+ @d10) X+ @d10;
If you want to see some real-world use of these metaoperators, Sudoku.pm in Moritz Lenz's Sudoku solver.
