Echoes and Reflections - Yad Vashem
Echoes and Reflections - The LasT NAZI HUNTER
The following are notes from Dr. Efraim Zuroff's captivating discussion on his life's work capturing Nazis.
Thanks to the extension of life expectancy, there are still some Nazi Hunters. He prays for the good health of Nazis, he's the only Jew in the world that wants them healthy. They are almost all in their 90s. They try and still look as weak and frail as possible. The motivation for what Nazi Hunters do:
Nazi Hunters ⅓ detective, ⅓ political lobbyist, ⅓ historian.
He has to be a nudnik - someone who bothers people.
The passage of time in no way diminishes the crime.
Old age should not afford protection for this.
Time does not take a mass killer and turn them into a gentile.
Simon Wiesenthal - Because he survived, it obligated him to do something in his life. He felt people better than him had been murdered in the Holocaust, and devoted his life from his 30s to try and facilitate the prosecution of Nazis. He found out that Eichmann was in Argentina, but he didn't have the money to get him. Israel were the ones that got him. The most important Nazi that he brought to justice was Franz Stangl. He was involved with the euthanasia program. He built Sobibor and was the commandant of Treblinka, i.e. he was one of the biggest mass murders in the world. Someone said they'd give him information if Simon gave him $25,000, which was against his principles and he didn't have the money. He believed that the trial of him was a trial on the Holocaust and the euthanasia program. They negotiated down to $7,000. He was found in Brazil and put on trial. One time he saw people protesting that the Holocaust didn't happen and Anne Frank didn't happen. He realized that no one paid for arresting Anne Frank. He later found them. Austria is one of the biggest supporters of Nazis, giving them shelter. He thought that justice is not only about punishing people for x or y, but also providing a history lesson. He supported himself with private donations and barely had any money. The most important thing he did was to keep the Holocaust alive when no one really cared about it.
The fact that they are bringing people to justice so many years after the event, is important because it shows if you commit these crimes, you will still have to pay.
He wonders how after the Holocaust, does Genocide still happen. He believes its because the small number of people who were punished for Holocaust crimes. The chances of you joining a group like ISIS, the odds of you getting caught if you are not a big leader in it are very small.
This is very important on Holocaust denial and Holocaust distortion. In the western world they have won the fight against Holocaust denial in the mainstream. The Holocaust is the most documented crime in human history. Why would people try and deny the Holocaust took place. It's because of Anti-Semitism. They criticize Israel unfairly, and only Israel. There is a new wave of Holocaust denial in the Arab and Muslim world. The denial is from the leaders of countries like the former president of Iran. How to deal with Holocaust denials. There are first hand video accounts to disprove this, also documentaries and movies. Some people won't be convinced no matter what. The goal is to win over the non-crazy ones. Once the majority is convinced, the deniers will go away.
Holocaust distortion.
Once the war was over, many countries were liberated into Soviet control. The communist did their own manipulation of the Holocaust. They never acknowledged the Holocaust until the 1980s. They called WWII the Great Patriotic War. They could write their own truth. There was in reality mass collaboration with the Nazis for the Holocaust. When they became independent from the USSR, there first goal was to get into the European Union and NATO. They thought it was going to be important to become friends with Jews, because they believed they had the power to make that happen. The people of these new countries were the people who fought against the Soviet authorities. But what if these "heroes" murdered Jews during the Holocaust? The argument is that superiors told them to do so. There is no case of a Nazi getting killed for not killing someone. This is why this defense was rejected. This argument is allowed anywhere (Canada used to allow it).
Ivan Pemjanjuk - the US can't try any Nazis in court, because it didn't happen here and no US victims were hurt. In order to get them in trouble, they had to extradite people or they brought these people on charges of immigration and naturalization. When he was in court he made himself look like he was dying. After each day of court, he would get up and talk with people. You don't have to be Himmler or Hitler to have responsibility. German prosecution policy… you had to prove that the person who had committed a crime and had done so by racial hate, which is nearly impossible to do. A policy changed and since the death camps were intended to kill people, any person who worked at one is an accessory to murder who could get 15 years. This lasted 30 years for trial. He was sentenced to death in Israel, during the mandatory appeal process, they reversed it and he got 7 years and expelled back to America.
People who committed the crimes must feel guilty is a statement often made. People would think we were brainwashed. He has never experienced a case where a Nazi expressed any remorse or regret.
Accountant of Auschwitz
The procedure of catching them:
He was able to get a list of who was at a Holocaust death camp or the mobile death squads. He found a list of 80 people who were possibly still alive and Germany has tough laws that prevent people from finding out information. He went out to a news station and they helped since the government didn't. They found 2 people who were at Babi Yar and later a 3rd person. He later found another Einzengruppen member, who spent 65 years in a shooting club, continuing what he did in the war.
His most important case was Dinko Sakić at camp Jasenovac, where 100,000 people died. Most of his victims were Serbs. Most Nazis fled through the rat line to Argentina or to Syria or Egypt. They find Sakic in Argentina. He admits it is him. He says the problem is that the people at the camp deserved to be there, but the problem was that they didn't finish the job. He said I would do it again the same way and was proud of what he did. The question is where should this person be put on trial. They wanted to try him in Croatia for a lesson, but the leader of the country was a Holocaust denier. He was tried for mass murder (not genocide).
One day a guy stops him and says "thank you". One of the important incidents was when there was a role call. Sakic called people out of the line to be hung. One guy says it's against his faith to be hung and Sakic shot him on the spot. This was the guy's brother.
How to catch them:
One day he gets an email from someone in Scotland who was at a party with someone bragging about him being involved in Auschwitz. The email said he wants to shut him up. The guy they find out is involved with Auschwitz. He tells the paper to make a post about Hungarians in Scotland, since they knew the guy was Hungarian. The guy has the interviewer meet at his house and there a statue he made and it says his real name, Istvan Bujdosoin, and German rank. This leads to another person he knew, Sandor Kepiro who was his boss.

Echoes and Reflections - Holocaust Survivor - Rena Quint
These are notes taken from Rena Quints inspiring story. There is no survivor who is younger than 80 from the Holocaust. We are the ambassadors of the Holocaust survivors. She brought up the story of a principal in Boca Rotan who denied the Holocaust and said, "He must be an idiot".
A million and a half children were killed. She was the only one who survived in her family. She was between 3 ½ and 9 ½ during the Holocaust. Most children who survived, did so because of living in Christian camps. She was liberated from Bergen-Beltzen. Her story is different because every time she lost a mother, she gained another. She wrote the book, A Daughter of Many Mothers. She had parents, aunts, and uncles, and grandparents. She was adopted and a good education. She was married to her husband for 60 years until he passed away. He would say, "I was spared for him".
She was born in Poland in the first ghetto in the city of Piotrków. She went back there in 1989. The Nazi's came in early on and took the able body people including her father to work in a glass factory, at a smaller ghetto.
One night there was banging on her door from German soldiers telling her to leave and get out. She had to pack whatever she could immediately and there was chaos. Everyone got out into the square in the city center. 2,000 people were gathered. They were herded into the synagogue. There are no Jews left today in the city and the synagogue has been turned into a library. If you couldn't fit into the synagogue, they took the people outside to dig ditches in the forest, which would be their own graves as they were shot. People were being shot in the synagogue and there was mass confusion. She was 6 at the time of this. A Polish man at the back door told her to "run". She was with her mother, and two brothers. She ran out and let go of her mother's hand. She can't remember what her mother looked like. She wonders what was her mother thinking to let her daughter leave her hand. Everyone left at the synagogue was taken to Triblinka and killed at the gas chamber. Rena says she hopes her mother is looking down on her today to see the happy life she has. She is also sure Hitler is "down there somewhere, and he has to look up". Any genocide was bad. The man who told her to run, scooped her up and took her to her father. She became a "boy" in order to blend in as girls we seen as useless. The factory work was hard and dangerous. There were dogs that they'd send out on the people in the factory for fun. If the dog bit someone's arm, they couldn't work, rendering them useless. She still has a fear of those dogs. In 1944 the Allies were getting closer. The Germans were sending people out to cattle cars. There were 80-100 people into each car. There was nothing to eat or drink. There was one pale to go to the bathroom, where you'd have to go in front of everyone. The smell and stench was everywhere. They used the snow after they got out to eat and drink. They had to divide people with women on one side and men on the other side. The issue being is that she was dressed as a boy at the time and people had to disrobe, which would reveal her identity. Her father gave to a teacher, and promised he'd meet back with her later. He never did as she never saw him again, but knows he was sent to Buchenwald. That's all she knows about him. As they were walking on the snow with no shoes, if you stopped to take a rest, you would be shot. There was a trail of bodies. As they made there way to Bergen-Belsen, she had her pictures in her hands. A soldier took her pictures and tore them up. He had no idea what those pictures meant to her, as she has no idea who they are or what they looked like. Everyday the most important thing was good. They had horrible soup everyday. One day, an announcement came saying "We are the British army, you are free, you can do what you want".
The British had to build huge graves to bury the dead. She couldn't do anything because she had Typhus. The British burned down the barracks because they were so infested. 14,000 people died after the war as people weren't able to recover or recuperate. They brought her to a make-shift hospital. She was sent to neutral Sweden. A young Christian couple gave her sweets and cookies in Sweden and they asked if she would like to live with them. She ends up not living with them because Jewish people told her she should go to Palestine (Israel) in a displaced persons camp. She met a new "mother". Israel is so important to Jews, because it is a place for Jews to call home. The mother told her she was going to the United States with this "new" family. In the US, her "new mother" had died, but no one explained what was going on. She was confused because one person died and everyone made a fuss, yet she thought in the Holocaust so many people died and no one made it a big deal. At the funeral, she was the only one who didn't cry. Now that the mother was gone, the family didn't want her. They knew another Jewish family that took her in.
She believes strongly in God, but doesn't understand how God could have let this happen.
Later on that day she invited all 35 of us to her wonderful house. The love letters her husband would write to her were still on display.
Echoes and Reflections - Masada
Echoes and Reflections - Holocaust Survivor - Gita Cycowicz
These are notes taken from the inspiring story of Gita Cycowicz.
90 years old as a working psychologist. Born in Czechoslovakia in a town of 20,000. 8,000 were Jews. She was born in a poor town. The town was Chust. Family was there for many generations. Many people didn't even have a citizenship passport, including her dad. All the businesses and stores were owned by Jewish people. Father sold mineral waters at his business. 1939 the town of Chust was taken over. A week after Hitler took Poland, he started creating death camps, ghettos, and destroying temples. When she would walk in the streets as a child with her dad, people would call out, "Stinky Jew", this was normal. One day at school someone passed into her backpack a note that said, "death to the Jews". She didn't think about this being an issue. One day she showed up at school when she was 12, the teacher came to her and said no more school for the Jews. She went when she was 40 to Brookland college. She also passed the GED/ high school equivalency test. The year prior she learned English language. Worked her way up to a doctorate.
One day a non-Jew came in to her dad's shop and said he wanted to stay at the shop and learn how to run a shop. He was told he had to do this. After a few weeks, after learning enough, he took over the shop. Gradually all the Jewish stores were closed. The father wasn't allowed to sell the mineral water. Eventually the father said he had no more money, when she was 13. To survive, they had a family friend who owned a hotel and they stayed and worked their.
Side story - Every Jewish 18 year old or older had to work in forced labor for the Hungarian army. They had hard work. Dig ditches in cold, frozen Russia. People lost limbs due to the frozen conditions. One boy who was 17 didn't want to go. So a doctor said he could make an impairment on him in order to allow him not to go to Siberia. He's cut off some fingers or break his ear drums and make him deaf. He was not sent to the army, but he was sent to Auschwitz later on.
The dad was caught selling bottles of water and caught. He was beaten for 3 days.
1943 Hitler declared Europe free of Jews. (only small groups and pockets of people hiding).
March 1944 - The Germans encouraged the Hungarians to open the gates so the Germans could come in. She knew it was her death sentence as a Hungarian Jew. The Jewish leaders were the liason. They were always updating the Jews of their current status. Her dad shaved his beard for the first time in his 49 year life. The Germans needed 200 strong men, and killed them all. They didn't need them for anything besides striking fear in the people. Their community was turned into a ghetto. In each 2 bedroom house, they put in 4 - 5 families. One toilet, stove, etc. She was there for 5 weeks. They were boarded onto a wagon. There were two pales, one with water, one to use the bathroom. They bring what is absolutely necessary, no photos, but pots and pans. They assume it'll be another place to live. 95 people were in half the wagon. Men debate if it is okay to pray in the wagon, because it's unbecoming of themselves to pray where there is an open toilet. They end up praying. Through the barbed wire window, someone sees a sign, "Auschwitz Burchenaw". No one knows what it means. There are no fences, only barbed wire fences. The doors open. There are two people in striped uniforms telling them to jump from the train. After getting out they couldn't get their bags, they were told they'd get it later. They don't know what's happening in the front of the train. There are high ranking SS officers who are "doctors" who decide who will die immediately or who will die later. 90% of all transports were headed directly to the death camps. The men including her father were taken away to a coal mine. She was taken to a shower room to undress. Then they tell them to form two lines, they get a dress from a mountain of dresses. Someone came and clipped their hair off. Everyone is laughing because they looked so strange. No one in her group had their menstrual period their entire time, no one knows why. They put her into a camp where 27 big barracks, each with 1200 people. They didn't do anything until 4pm and they'd take out people each day to be killed. For 5 months, they'd look at the faces of all the girls. This actually happened 2x a day. She is fearful for 5 months with her mother. She gets barely any soup that essentially is from grass and salt. You had to eat the soup with your hand. Mother's would give up their food to give to their kids. She thought she'd try and get out on a transport. She prayed everyday, "Make this your day God to give us mercy". 3 SS point out 8 women one day, including her mother and aunt. She worked at a labor camp in incredibly cruel situations. In snow and ice, just in a dress, only eating bread in the morning and night. No toilet paper for a year, some people went three years without it. One day they were hanging out on a day off, an SS asks why is it so cold and asks why didn't you build a fire. They say they weren't allowed to. The SS says they can, and it was like paradise. The next day they are told they won't have food, but will still have to work. The last time they ate was in the previous morning. The reason was because they made a fire, even though the guard said they could. Work days were 12 hours long at least with no food.
She gets moved around to another camp as the Germans move people because the Russians are coming in. One day she hears whistling, which means line up. The loud speaker says no need to line up, just stand up. The SS says, "It's May 8th, the war is over, and you are free, you can go wherever you want. We are there to only stay and watch over you. Please treat us right" (Again, this is the guard saying this).
She went back to her house. Nobody smiled. She had no one to take care of her, didn't know where her sister was, her mother, and her father was. For 2 weeks her sister and herself, walked with thousands of other prisoners, full of anxiety, no shoes. People are constantly asking if they knew their mothers or their fathers. Stalin says that her home city is part of Ukraine, which was under Soviet control. He meets a man on a train after walking for 2 weeks. Someone asks who she is. She tells him. She says your mother is at home. She's reunited at her home. Her once beautiful home has a hole in the roof possibly from a bomb. Every plank of wood is lifted up as the SS was probably looking for treasures. There's no furniture. The only thing left was her father's religious books, opened, with feces on them. Her other sister was alive too. Her father was killed at a camp.
She was later asked to share her story in Germany. She could have asked for money to appear. She didn't, she asked one thing, "how come they didn't see the human in me? I have two eyes, two ears, I am a human being". She didn't get an answer.
Echoes and Reflections - Old Jerusalem
Bethlehem - 7-7-19
Jordan - Wadi Rum - 7-6-19
Feeling sick on a trip is never good, let alone when you are halfway around the world on an experience of a lifetime. Sad to say, here I was feeling the flu along with two of the other seven people in our group. Uncharacteristically of me, I chose to take it easy on this day. After having a hard time sleeping at the camp due to the flu-like symptoms, (the camp actually was very nice) we got in our SUVs and headed for Wadi Rum. This reminded me of my recent trip to Utah or the Grand Canyon, with the red sand blanketing the land. Peering out through the sand were rough and jagged peaks. Trying to keep my head up and my camera ready was a losing battle. I caught glimpses of the tour guide's excited speech as he told us about how one of my favorite movies was filmed here, Lawrence of Arabia, as well as Star Wars and the new Aladdin. What particularly caught my eye were the numerous camels cruising through the land. Having a true Bedouin style barbecue wasn't enough to pry my weary head from the ground as I was prone to sleeping any moment I could. Finishing through the desert, we went on a drive to cross the border into Israel. Once here, there was a sense of relief as we felt complete safety for whatever reason being here. Not to say Jordan wasn't safe, but the feeling that we were now in the country where we were going to be hosted by Echoes and Reflections was reassuring. When we got on the bus from Elat to Jerusalem, what I thought I muttered in my head, I later realized I said aloud to my peers, "I don't think I'm going to make it". It was a rough ride, but perseverance paid off once we saw the outer walls of Old Jerusalem.
Jordan - Petra - 7-5-19
Egypt - Holy Sites - 7-4-19
Egypt - Day 1 - 7-3-19
Starting with Egypt, the excitement was palpable as I had hyped this venture so much on my own. I can remember in 2014 thinking back at the Mayan pyramid's size and thinking they must be a lot smaller than the Egyptian pyramids, but I would never be able to see them. Now I'm flying into Cairo to see this amazing human creation. Being that this was the first stop on the trip, it was one special way to start this journey. I couldn't believe how enormous the pyramids were. I knew they were big, I heard the stories, read the research, see them on tv and in movies, but I couldn't fathom them living up to the hype. Boy howdy did they. Marveling at their immense and imposing structure as the towered over Cairo, my mouth was aghast as we walked towards them. In front of the pyramids, humorously our tour guide offered the seven of us an opportunity I had no idea was possible, to go inside the pyramids. He said reluctantly, it will cost $15. The cost was laughable to experience this amazing opportunity. The sun was ever-present, but not overwhelming despite the time of the year. We went in the great pyramid and went through the extremely tight corridors through the one way passage. At the top of the narrow stairs, there was a small room where you could catch your breath amidst the sweltering heat. In it was a security guard and an empty tomb. Once leaving the tomb, we went further down to Panorama Point and saw all three pyramids in their glory together. Next we drove by the Great Sphinx and went by the building where the bodies were mummified. Seeing the Sphinx too, guarding the pyramids was awe-inspiring. I tend to be a kid in a candy store when I see things like this. Leaving the pyramids, we went to a perfume shop where we were offered several scents. Leaving here couldn't have happened sooner, as we were now headed to Tahir Square where the 2011 revolution was the epicenter to the riots. Here the Egyptian Artifact Museum stood where we walked through the air-conditionedless 100 year old museum that was struggling to house all the mummies and artifacts that continued to be added. Thankfully next year a massive contemporary nearby building will house everything in a more modern and spacious building. The most striking artifacts we saw was the loot that was discovered in King Tutankhamen's tomb. Disappointingly it was picture free, but the memories I'm sure will be intact for a long, long time. The fine detail on the sarcophagus's to the glittering gold were phenomenal. The artifacts told a story that couldn't be believed if it weren't for Howard Carter's discovery of these items. One can only imagine what items would have been found in Ramses the Great's tomb. Cleansing our palette of excitement for our long day, we took a relaxing faluca sailboat ride on the Nile river. This let us catch our breath from all of the excitement we were having. Finishing the night, we traveled back towards the pyramids and ate at a wonderful restaurant that overlooked the pyramids, which were illuminated at night.


Advent time has been very busy with a birthday to celebrate, the preparation of our up-coming stay in Australia, and fighting the flu.
We are not done with the above, but at least the Christmas tree is up and decorated and there are enough ingredients to cook a couple of delicious dishes in the fridge.
The entire family is looking forward to begin 2017 in Australia, even though it is only for a few months. We all have the intention to spend time together, but we have plans for ourselves as well. I have decided to use a part of that time to think about my blog. To think about if I should continue or not, or maybe continue it in a different way.
But for now, I want to thank all of you who have followed me and read my posts, and most of all I wish you and your families a peaceful time and happy holidays!

Miracle Beyond Measure (Miracle Trilogy, Bk. 2)
Genre: Fantasy Romance
E-Book 3.99
Life on the run is hard. Food is limited, and clothes are difficult to come by, but I'll keep going. We'll keep going. We have to. The world is depending on us.
My name is Casi Clarity, and there's a prophecy that says I will be the one to save the world, along with my protector, Coheed. But we don't know how, or when, or why. We just will.
Our travels have taken us to New Orleans, where the demons are getting stronger, smarter, and harder to evade. With new allies and enemies alike, who can I trust? Is my protector even who he says he is?
I'm in the fight of my life, with or without Coheed, but fighting without the help of my love is impossible to fathom. I'd rather die myself. But if I did, would I stay dead this time?
My name is Casi.
The undead call me Little Mouse.
Coheed calls me his Miracle.
Warning! Contains a special tea, a trailer in the swamp, deception, bitter cold, a lost testament, a new revelation, and the loss of a loved one that tears the heart apart.
"Stay here," the older woman ordered again. "I'm going to check out the front window. See if I can't spot some of those unholy devils."
"I doubt that you can. The priests can't see them. I mean, if the demons want to be seen, you wouldn't be able to tell they're demons. You'd only see normal people."
"Perhaps. I'll be right back."
A dark shadow moved against the paler curtains as the woman brushed them aside and exited the room. Casi strained her ears to detect the woman's movements, but all she could hear was the wind blowing hard outside, and the icy rain and sleet striking the glass panes.
Without warning, the mobile home lifted, tilting nearly thirty degrees to one side. It hung there, suspended at an angle, as a cacophony of things falling and crashing echoed through the trailer. Casi lost her grip on the table as she began sliding backwards, flailing her arms to keep from hitting something. The chair went out from under her as the table scraped across the floor, and everything slid like one massive mountain of debris toward the other end of the trailer.
She hit the wall with her right side. A bolt of pain lanced through her, and she gasped at its sharp intensity. An instant later, the table slammed into her thigh before tumbling away from her. She heard a chair impact against the wall mere inches from her head, and instinctively she flung her arms up to protect herself.
More items pelted her as the sound of things thudding and banging around continued to resonate everywhere. Suddenly, the trailer dropped back to the ground, bounced slightly, and remained still.
Demons or no, Casi knew she couldn't remain inside the mobile home. Those things were determined to get to her, but she couldn't allow them to destroy the old woman and all her possessions in their pursuit of her.
Struggling to her feet, she waded through the items, favoring her bruised left leg, until she reached the door. It took a few hard tugs to open it, but she managed to make it to the hallway. From there, she limped into the living area that looked as though it had been hit by a tornado.
She found Maman Jeanette lying on her stomach in the middle of the kitchen. The woman was attempting to get up. A dark patch of what looked like blood ran from her forehead, down the side of her face. Kneeling, Casi grabbed the woman by the arm. "Can you stand?"
"I'm a bit woozy, but yes. Help me up, child."
Gradually, she managed to get the woman to her feet. Maman Jeanette pointed to the front window. "I need to see them."
"You're hurt," Casi argued. "You need medical attention."
"I need to know what I'm facing," Maman Jeanette firmly said. "I have to—"
A white glow filtered in through windows, brightening in intensity, until the entire mobile home was filled with its brilliance. The light continued to expand and grow stronger, forcing Casi and Maman Jeanette to cover their eyes to protect their sight. For several seconds, the radiance seemed to permeate every inch of the trailer, until it slowly receded.
Casi helped the woman over to the wide front window and stared outside. Nothing appeared to be different. Nothing had changed. The weather was still intolerable. The wind blew the trees around, and bits of ice were coming down, mixed in with the rain.
A lone man stood in the yard, just beyond the old Jeep. He stared back at them, his expression unreadable in the semi-darkness, but she recognized him.
"Coheed." Letting go of the old woman, she started for the front door, when Maman Jeanette snagged her shirt.
"No, child! Stop!"
"But that's Coheed!"
"How do you know, ma petite?"
Casi stared at her. "What? That's my Coheed I told you about."
"Or something you think is your Coheed," the woman countered. "Remember, you were lured away from the church by one of those things impersonating him."
Casi looked again at the man standing unruffled in the middle of the storm. The wind and rain didn't affect him. It was as if he stood within an invisible pocket that protected him from nature. Silently, she called out to him, and lifted her hand in invitation.
Coheed, come to me, my love.
He began walking toward the mobile home. Maman Jeanette gasped and backed up, pulling on Casi's shoulder. Casi threw a smile at her. "He's the real Coheed. You'll see."
The woman released her, moving to the rear wall. Casi continued to watch him as he drew closer.
The trailer door flung open, letting the wind and rain inside. Coheed paused in the doorway but didn't enter. Casi caught a movement in her peripheral vision just as Maman Jeanette yelled at him, "Be gone, foul demon! You have no power here!"
Tilting his head slightly, he smiled and raised his arms out to Casi, inviting her to embrace him. Casi gave a little cry of relief and ran to him, ready to receive his hug, when Coheed's head unexpectedly snapped backwards. There was a flash of lightning, and what sounded like thunder, and Coheed vanished in a cloud of gray ashes.
Stunned, Casi stared at the remains until a second figure stepped inside the mobile home and shook himself. "Bloody impersonators! I detest the lot of them! Casi, luv, are you all right?"

Home Category Shomrim Patrol
Shomrim Patrol Shomrim (Hebrew: שׁוֹמְרִים, 'watchers', 'guards') or Shmira (Hebrew: שְׁמִירָה, 'protection') are organizations of proactive volunteer Jewish civilian patrols which have been set up in Haredi communities in neighborhoods across the United States, Canada[1] and the United Kingdom (among other countries) to combat burglary, vandalism, mugging, assault, domestic violence, nuisance crimes and antisemitic attacks, and to help and support victims of crime. They also help locate missing people. Shomrim volunteers are unarmed and do not have the authority to make arrests, other than citizen's arrest. Some Shomrim members in the United States have been convicted of assaults and misdemeanors against people from outside their community.[2][3][4][5] In Brooklyn,[6] Baltimore,[7] and London[8][9] many residents call Shomrim prior to the police due to the former's shorter response time.[10] However, one of the volunteer patrols in New York has been criticised by the New York City Police Department for not always notifying police when a call comes in.[2] In London, however, the Hackney Police Borough Commander Chief Superintendent Matthew Horne complimented Shomrim on this point, saying that "they will generally know when is the time to call us. They don't tend to waste our time and they don't let people go".[11] Additionally, Brooklyn Shomrim organisers have been accused of withholding information on suspected child molesters and other Jewish criminals, in keeping with an interpretation of the Torah prohibition against mesirah (informing on a fellow Jew to the non-Jewish authorities).[12][13][14] The forerunner of the Shomrim was the Maccabees, a Jewish patrol organization founded by Samuel Schrage in 1964 in the Crown Heights neighborhood of Brooklyn. While initially successful, it was disbanded at the end of the decade due to political pressure amid allegations of lack of oversight and tense relations with the African American community.[15] Shomrim was first established in the Brooklyn neighborhoods of Borough Park, Crown Heights, Flatbush, and Williamsburg in the late 1970s and early 1980s.[2][6][13] Similar patrols were later established in Haredi neighborhoods in Monsey, New York,[citation needed] Baltimore,[3] Miami,[16] Waterbury, Connecticut,[17] and London,[18] United Kingdom.[19] In around 1998, a split in the organization occurred in Crown Heights when the rival group Shomrim broke off from the original group Shmira. This was the first time two competing groups were patrolling the same neighborhood.[20]

An agency created by the US Congress in 1974 to regulate exchange trading in futures.
A federal agency, established in 1974, that regulates and supervises the trading of commodity futures and commodity options. Additional regulation is effected by the exchanges on which the contracts are traded. Compare National Futures Association.
The Commodity Futures Trading Commission approved a similar expansion for stock index futures and options contracts on the Chicago Mercantile Exchange, the Kansas City Board of Trade and the New York Futures Exchange.
In the United States, before the passage of the Futures Trading Practices Act of 1992 and subsequent regulatory action by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), the exchange-trading restriction of the Commodity Exchange Act had raised serious concerns about the legal enforceability of many OTC derivatives contracts.
Commodity Futures Trading Commission opened an investigation in November of Long Beach deliveries and withdrawals that continues today, Metro International's president, William Whelan, said Monday.
Of the efforts taken to date, I should comment on the significant progress made in improving communications among the agencies involved in the surveillance effort--the Bank, the Treasury, the SEC, the Federal Reserve Board, and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission.
Tull, the acting commissioner of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission, said that the agency's investigation of the Sumitomo scandal included Credit Lyonnais, the French bank, a unit of which acted as a broker for Winchester Commodities Group Ltd.
Nonetheless, while the Board believes that federal oversight is necessary, we have been of the view that this authority should rest with either the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) or the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).
In other areas, Nasdaq claims to have undertaken major reforms by hiring a new chief regulator, Mary Schapiro, the well-respected former chief of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission.
The Government Solutions practice works with government entities including the Commodity Futures Trading Commission, Defense Acquisition University, Defense Commissary Agency, Department of Agriculture, Department of Justice, Federal Aviation Authority, Federal Communications Commission, Treasury Executive Institute, U.
In contrast, the Commodity Futures Trading Commission requires the firms to let commodities investors not agree to arbitration.
Mitchell joined Cadwalader in 1983 from the Commodity Futures Trading Commission.
HedgeStreet, which began operations in late 2004 following regulatory approval by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), traded and settled nearly 1 million contracts (called Hedgelets) during its first full year of operation.
More than a decade ago, the Commodity Futures Trading Commission determined there was little reason to be the nation's watchdog because Enron, Reliant, and other energy companies convinced Congress to eliminate regulatory oversight.


Oh, sorry. My mistake. I will fix my programming error right away.
I think this program should do just what the customer wants, not what we think is kewl.
I finished the code two weeks ago, Id just like a little more time to polish the documentation.
Before I start coding, I should find out exactly what this program is supposed to do.
At some point, we have to count on the intelligence of the user.
Microsoft makes all the best programs.
I got into programming so that I could interact with other people. And I really love doing documentation.
I-I-I t-t-h-h-i-n-n-k-k I-I-ve h-h-ha-a-d e-e-n-n-ou-gh c-c-c-a-a-f-f-i-i-n-n-e-e n-n-o-o-w.
Ive fixed all the bugs, added all the features you wanted, so if theres nothing else, Im going to leave a few minutes early for my date. Or I should say dates…Mimi and Kiki are twin lingerie models.
On this project, I want to apply what I learned from The Mythical Man-Month and spend time on the requirements and design instead of just banging out code.
The hardware is fine, we should fix this in the code!
Yes, my dear, of course. I will drop everything and come to meet you right away. Who cares about all this stuff anyway? YOU are so much more important to me and I have worked enough to complete my daily 8 hours!
I wish we could do this in COBOL (or: FORTRAN) !
Weve hit a bit of a problem. This task is going to take a little longer than I expected in the initial estimate. My fault.
Star Trek isnt really real. Its an abomination of social ethics.
I can do that in five minutes, just have a coffee and it will be ready.

This is not so much about places as it is about places in film, on video, TV, in photographs, print, books and magazines. It is about the vast difference between the places in which we live, can live and do live, and the places, sometimes the same places, that are represented to us in Hollywood mass media.
The difference is self-evident, if not immediately explainable, if you look up and around you right now, this moment, and compare the place you are in to every place you can recall from the incessant flow of media images and descriptions that make up nearly all the reality we carry in our heads. I'm betting you see and feel something akin to what I do, a strange sense of halting, a peculiar calm and clarity regardless the emotions and thoughts that coincidentally preoccupy you, and a fluttering away into nothingness of everything that a moment before seemed so defining of who, what and where you are. The real that was last night's evening news, a sitcom, a prime-time hospital or law office filled with then all-so-intense human drama, slips way, vanishes like it had never been there, not even the tangible thinness of a piece of paper left to feel between your fingers. Look around you long enough and maybe you wonder as I do, what is this cage that I've been carrying in and around my head? And how seldom have I been outside it!
This difference is not just a matter of full dimensional, multi-sensory reality compared to some inherent poverty of representations, of pictures and words that, of course, cannot really represent the real thing. You can open a photo album of pictures from your life and experience the same vast difference in recalling all that is daily forced upon us by commercial media.
The difference is systematic and, although not created by central committee, it has a design and a purpose, which is to keep us "headed"-in more than one sense--someplace other than where we are or might be going, to keep us headed toward the mythical noplace where every problem can be solved by one final, right purchase at the right price, by repeating therapeutic phrases from books and TV to friends and enemies, bosses and loved ones, by leaving "big" political issues to others because politics is hopeless complex, hopelessly corrupt, and in so many other ways hopelessly beyond reasonable reach. The difference keeps us separate from the places where we are and, therefore, separate from each other, except in ways it regulates, informing us endlessly who we are, individually and in aggregate, and how we are to interact or not interact.
The difference is and is the product of "The Matrix." Like all genuine science fiction, the film The Matrix is, at bottom, not about some horrifying possible future in which machines rule the world but an allegory of the present in which mere mortals much like ourselves do. And however much The Matrix, because it is part of the present matrix that governs and adjusts our lives to the purposes of others, bumbles into passive fantasies of salvation by "the One," the Buddha, the Christ, the voodoo lotha, the single superman or supernerd who inexplicably arrives with the innate ability to play the game better than the game makers themselves, it necessarily reveals a fragment of the truth, that fragment which is necessary to move us to enthusiasm for its fiction: that already we are living and dying in The Matrix.
But how do we wake up? How do we unplug? How do we recover our real selves and the real places in which we live, when no conspiratorial strangers are to arrive after long watching and studying us to leave cryptic personal messages on our terminals; or phone us in the middle of our sleep, in bed or in our wage-slave cubicles, with sudden life and death instructions; or kidnap us from deserted, rain-swept streets and forcibly deprogram us with drug and futuristic electro-shock treatments? And it seems to require that much, because the problem, which the film The Matrix also truthfully touches upon, is that we like The Matrix, or have been raised and taught to like it as if there were nothing else. The Matrix is good, better, the best of everything we can imagine or even want to imagine.
I suspect we never wake up until we first reconsider carefully what we "like": why do we like it? what don't we like? what else do we like? and, in sum, what have we become like in becoming people who like it? This applies especially to media we consume, to our sense of entertainment and enjoyment.
Take, for example, the streaming videos on this site. The sound is awful. The pictures are blurry. The camera jiggles and focuses frequently without purpose. There's no plot, no story, no purpose, no heroes, no villains, no violence, no nudity, no readily discernable meaning, no eye-candy. They're terrible. Yet these days I've become more at ease with myself watching them and whatever other "amateur" productions like them that I can find on the web, than I am paying for the latest Hollywood fodder at theaters or on video and DVD. They have something of the same appeal that draws audiences to such "reality" shows as COPS, RealTV, America's Funniest Home Videos, and the endlessly spawning infotainment video-magazine shows serving up much the same raw camcorder footage.
In contrast to perfectly shot, cut and re-mastered Hollywood productions, these shows and the videos on this site have in common that they represent not only people but places differently. For in them it is evident, as is not the case even with on-the-scene newscasts, that here is a place in which both camera operator and camera subject were actually situated, a specific place at a specific juncture in time. The place is real. It exists in the same world and same flow of time, the same point in history, as you do. You could go there and see and experience much the same thing, because it is the place, not a scenario-writer, director, editor, that dictated what could be shown, moment by moment, in the footage you watched. This is not to say that COPS and RealTV segments are not carefully selected and edited, that there isn't an agenda in what is being aired, any more than it is to say that selection, editing, and agenda are missing from the videos on this site. It's just that their common reality effect is different, fundamentally different than the reality illusions of polished Hollywood productions, including commercials, and the millions of dollars required to produce them.
Of course, COPS and RealTV are just as much a part and product of The Matrix as Hollywood productions such as The Matrix. They serve the common purpose of keeping us "headed" no place. So called reality TV accomplishes this by allowing us to glimpse real places and real people that lie outside the Hollywood matrix, but only in their most nightmarish, fearful, freak-show aspect. Reality TV represents us, flawed people that we are, only so that we might more firmly turn away toward the perfect Good and Bad served up elsewhere by the same mass media industry. We do indeed get to see ourselves and our places--our neighbors, our families, our strangers; our neighborhoods, our homes, our streets--but only as dark, chaotic places through which cops crash, guns drawn, police dogs barking, toward disheveled perpetrators befuddled with drugs, alcohol or sleep, or as utterly insipid places in which someone much like ourselves is about to do something incredibly stupid and degrading. We are invited by such shows to fear, hate, and laugh at ourselves, nothing more, nothing less. It is made attractive, exciting, with the host's or narrator's calm, neutered voice assuring us that we are safe, sufficiently distant from ourselves to feel the fear, the hatred, the laughter. And what a sense of overwhelming relief it is, afterwards, to switch the channel and settle into the comparatively stabile and meaningful lives of even the most distressed sitcom or primetime drama characters. Maybe we should buy something after all....
No conspiratorial strangers will leave messages on our terminals, phone us with instructions, or kidnap and deprogram us from the streets, but perhaps we could take at least a small step toward waking each other up by filling the net with our own images of ourselves and our places. For surely we have more to show to each other than our naked bodies--the "real" images that currently dominate the web. And surely we don't need to surf the web to find more of what we can readily find just by turning on the tube, going to the movie theater, or down to the local rental superchain. Life will not be complete because now we have a TV tuner in our PC, because now we can pipe the same Hollywood sounds and images back and forth between tube and monitor, DVD, VCR, stereo, RAM, and hard disk.
We cannot hope to play the game of making movies better than our Hollywood masters, the game makers themselves, but we just might be able to find it in ourselves to "like" ourselves, to develop a taste for those realities we can live and represent to each other. And perhaps if we can do that, if enough of us can do that and do it for long enough, The Matrix that now surrounds us might at least start to flutter its way off into the nothingness it really is.

Alan Jackson: Country Music Star from Newnan
Country singer Alan Jackson was born on Oct. 17, 1958 in Newnan, Georgia. He married his high school sweetheart, Denise, in 1979 and they are still together today with three daughters.
Jackson grew up in rural Georgia; he lived with his parents and four older sisters in a house built around his grandfather's old toolshed. Shortly after marrying Denise, the couple moved to Nashville, Tennessee so he could pursue a career in music. After a long series of rejections, he finally landed a recording deal with Arista Records. The tremendous success of his debut album, "Here in the Real World" (1990), marked Jackson's arrival among a group of country artists including Randy Travis, Clint Black, Travis Tritt, Garth Brooks, and Vince Gill. That represented a new brand of traditionalism in country music and the end of the synthesized pop country trend of the 1980's.
An accomplished songwriter, Jackson wrote much of his first album, which remained on the U.S. country charts for more than a year. His next two albums, "Don't Rock the Jukebox" (1991) and "A Lot About Livin'…and a Little 'Bout Love" (1992) were even bigger hits, spawning five No.1 singles each. Notable among these hits were "Love's Got a Hold on You," "Midnight in Montgomery" (Jackson's tribute to the legendary country star Hank Williams), and "Chattahoochee." With the 1994 release of his fifth album, "Who I Am," Jackson's record sales reached a total of over $10 million.
Throughout the course of his career, Jackson has been honored with over 45 awards from organizations like the Academy of Country Music (ACM) and the Country Music Association (CMA). He released his Greatest Hits album in 1995 and won eight major awards, including CMA Entertainer of the Year. Later albums included "High Mileage" (1998) and "Under the Influence."
Jackson's "Where Were You (When the World Stopped Turning)," a song commemorating those lost in the September 11 terror attacks, earned him his first Grammy Award for Best Country Song. He received four CMA Awards that year, tying with Johnny Cash for the most CMA wins in a year. His 2006 gospel album, "Precious Memories," was originally recorded as a gift to his mother.
In 1998, USA Today broke the news that he and his wife Denise had separated; they reconciled later that year, and renewed their wedding vows on the 19th anniversary of their marriage. The couple has three daughters, Mattie, Alexandra, and Dani. Jackson's mother and his sisters and their families still reside in Coweta County.

Hey guys! This is what i was wearing last weekend. Me and my boyfriend went to Antwerp to stroll around and shop a bit, so i opted for this easy casual look :) The scarf and sunnies are new and i think they make the outfit so complete! I really need to invest in more accesories, they can change an outfit so much.


Four months ago, when my youngest little guy was three-months-old, my friend Nadine from Mayana Genevière asked me if I would be the cover-girl for her latest collection.
Naturally, I laughed really, really hard.
But hindsight is 20/20; the campaign photos turned out beautifully and I'm so grateful that I was able to document that snippet of my motherhood story.
And now for some BONUS behind-the-scenes shots!

Yerûšelem a new adventure for Blut Aus Nord members, reveals industrial haze on 'The Sublime'
It's common for music fans to get upset when a band or artist goes in a different artistic direction, like the listener at home has some sort of say in what moves the creator of the art. But it happens, and it's not isolated to metal, but that's what we're here to talk about. That often leads to discontent, bad feelings, and records like "Load" and "Reload."
Two primary members of Blut Aus Nord decided to follow their muse but in a direction away from their primary band. Well, mostly. Yerûšelem is the brainchild of Vindsval and W.D. Feld, and instead of going through the vortex of their brain-chilling black metal, they instead veer toward industrial sounds, strange ambiance, and even a cleaner vocal direction. That doesn't exactly sound foreign if you've followed Blut Aus Nord's run. Their "777" trilogy bathed in a lot of similar sounds as to what you hear on this project's debut offering "The Sublime," a nine-track effort that makes it easy to get lost in their blackened shadows and strange dreams. There's a lot in which to immerse yourself, be it musically or metaphysically, and each section of the album is a mental adventure and a creation lurking in the fog that feels kind of familiar but is a totally different beast.
The title track gets us started with strange hisses and hypnotic melodies, with the alien words sung instead of screamed, with everything melting into your psyche. The track conjures strange mental visions before ending in echoes and sizzling. "Autoimmunity" acts as a cloud breaking and delivers a soaking storm, with guitars cutting into the picture and the singing ghoulishly floating. Thick bass barrels in and leaves heavy bootsteps behind, while a weird cloud hovers, with the track dissolving into noise. "Eternal" has beats colliding, guitars churning, and the singing feeling like it gives off a New Wave vapor. The music trickles and bubbles, while the purposely repetitive pace lures you into the maze, the music spirals, and everything ends suddenly. "Sound Over Matter" is a brief instrumental that originates in the cosmos, feeling like an alien phantom briefly showing its face.
"Joyless" opens with synth strikes before sludgy thrashing arrives, and the guitars seek to slice off limbs. The vocals bubble in your brain as the heaviness brings unease, and the track ends in a nightmarish void. "Triiiunity" is beat driven before a Godflesh-style assault is unleashed, as the band mashes away. The track feels like it overturns flooded oil tanks, letting the thick goo cover the earth, while the back end sends a panic that agitates your fight vs. flight tendencies. "Babel" has bass and beats pushing, the vocals rolling in mystery, and the guitars giving off steam. The pace clobbers later, pounding through your muscles and leaving deep bruising. "Reverso" brings guitars awakening with the riffs turning their blades inward. The vocals sound like they were spawned in a Petri dish and left to turn into a strange beast, while the playing adds a dangerous chill to the air, the guitars carry the melody, and the finish leaves the senses battered. Closer "Textures of Silence" is a quick instrumental finish based in moodiness and a haunting gaze that leaves an indelible mark.
While it might not totally scratch the itch you have for more Blut Aus Nord music, Yerûšelem come damn close to achieving that means on "The Sublime." OK, so it's not their bizarre and hypnotic black metal, but it definitely contains very similar strands of DNA and shows you a different side to what these artists have to offer. This is an icy, frosty new vision from two creators who already had given us some of the more thought-provoking material in extreme music even before this great new venture.

Rachel Kushner takes on the difficult task of writing about prison in her latest novel, The Mars Room . The book is mainly set in the Stanville Women's Correctional Facility, a fictional prison in California's Central Valley where, as one character puts it, the primary challenge is "having dignity in a cage. Having it hog-tied and Tasered. Being a person no matter what." It's hard to be a person, though, when you're enmeshed in a system that doesn't want you to be one.
As was the case in her previous novel The Flamethrowers , Kushner here roves between different narrators and different time periods. We spend time with Gordon Hauser, a failed English PhD who now teaches at Stanville, and with Doc, a dirty cop locked away for, among other crimes, taking part in a series of contract killings. But we spend the most time and gain the most intimacy with Romy Hall, a twenty-nine-year-old serving two consecutive life sentences plus six years for beating a male stalker to death.
Barred from seeing it because immersed in it; prison schools Romy in beauty through its negation. Her memories of the Sunset—"wet feet and soggy cigarettes at a rainy kegger in the Grove. The rain and beer and bloody fights on St. Patrick's Day"—sound like they could come from a Denis Johnson short story. (Romy at one point receives Johnson's Jesus' Son  to read.) These particularized memories become beautiful—not uncomplicatedly beautiful but beautiful nonetheless—through their difference from the systemic ugliness that presently envelops Romy.


Welcome to the fold Work-Shop Northern Rivers!
The Work-Shop team was hosted by the amazing Lismore Art Space as we helped christen the new venue in proper style with some opening night shenanigans.
Check out the photos inside.
Today we had Harry Joseph Stenmark Peppitt (incredible name, I know) from Viking Leather teaching us how to make the leather wallets. This is how it went down.


Paradox is quickly approaching its first birthday! Its hard to believe that not that long ago, it was just a twinkle in our eyes. We've had many long nights, learned a lot along the way, and of course made some mistakes. But overall it's been a great year and we've had the opportunity to work with some awesome world-changers. We thought there was no better way to sum up our first year than with our own version of an annual report. Hard copies were in high demand, so if you didn't get one check it out below.


Oooooo lulled into a false sense of security… then BAM! Nice one!!
Yeah, what's that all about? Damn aliens.
I knew it was too good to be true. There's no getting away from human (or inhuman) nature.
You've imagined an ingenious means of alien invasion. Let's hope they fail!
Oh my. We might could use this kind of take over. 😉 I'm put in mind of The Monitors, a 1969 Sci Fi movie where aliens brought peace. Humans couldn't take it. Well done as always, sir.
I've not seen that film but I can believe it. I recall that in the film "The Matrix" it's mentioned that the first Matrix was an ideal society – which humans rejected.
It's the updated version! I'm glad you liked my story.
Insidious little devils, these aliens. I'm glad you liked it!
At that point I don't suppose humans will care how many tentacles he has.
The first thing I saw was a giant antenna – too much Dr Who I suspect. I'm glad you enjoyed it!
Chilling and entertaining read – loved it!
Sadly, it did. I'm glad you liked it!
Let's hope not – 'cos nobody's fighting back!
I think we should have a referendum to decide. Although I'm not sure I can be bothered!
I'm not sure I can be bothered with a referendum either – signal or no signal.
Not the best bringer of hope!
I think it will be a big improvement on the current situation.
I was wondering that myself. Maybe Dresh will be good for everyone!
And while I don't think it is an either/or (war or no-will-power), I do think that balance is always a good thing.
Maybe Dresh will sort us all out and then be on his way. We could use a little guidance!
Nice one. I can almost hear Dresh N'Gak cackling with evil laughter 'mwahahaha…'.
It's all come together rather nicely for him!
Yeah, let's get back to reality here. Out of the way, hippies, we're gonna show you how a real invasion is done. Attack!
It was nice while it lasted… I'm glad you enjoyed it!
So, it's all peace, love and mung beans. Sorry aliens, it won't last.
We'll break through the conditioning before long, that's for sure.
And then I woke up from my dream! Nicely done. All hope, but never going to happen.
Sadly I fear you're right. It is nice dream, though.
Clever story Ali – love your examples of a peaceful life – 'warlords took up farming'. Let's hope someone has a punch up and gets the aggro going again !
Yikes! War is never the answer… or so I thought! Hopefully those humans will drum up the will for war one more time!
It comes to something when we're hoping someone will get a war going! But as you say, just one more time. I'm glad you liked it!
Oh, now, I think we could use a little peace in this world… but, not that way. Great story.
We need to sort ourselves out rather than have it forced upon us ready for conquest. I'm glad you liked it!
Wickedly dastardly, really made me say "oh yeah" and chuckle as I read the last line. Brilliant stuff, still smiling!
Heh, I like "wickedly dastardly"! I'm glad you liked it.
What a creative use of the prompt.
Clever Dresh used our tendency to the extremes. Fair enough.
He's an insidious little fellow.
Dresh must have studied us very carefully. He got us to stop hating and fighting -maybe Earth will be better off with him in charge. A very clever story.
Hmm… quite the dilemma. If that's the only way to have world peace, so be it!
I love how you have made evil out of peace!
oooo, who would have thought peace would allow evil to overwhelm…..hmmm.
I think I'm siding with Dresh, for now. Nice to have a moment's peace!
Even a few days would be nice!
