Marlane: live on Amazon. Retired from Fire Dept as a dispatcher. Adopted. Dramatic story. Birth mother involved with Newport gangsters. ...
Viddle: my brother died in the Battle of the Bulge in WWII, my parents were consumed by grief, there was no energy for me. They said I was "a mistake".
Vlasta: my parents said they bought me from the gypsies. I thought maybe they did. There were no photos of my first 4 years. Really it was because there was no film. .... Stalin died in '59 of natural causes... he killed more people than Hitler.
Judy: I am in the process of moving. Adrienne has been helping me and it has been so helpful. Two announcements. Debbie Rawl (?) a sharp lady, lived in Africa many years. This sunday, "The greater Cinti branch for democracy in Zimbabwe" at her house this Sunday, 6 pm, 4311 Haight Ave (Northside), no RSVP. Supper event. Presentations by Zimbabwe natives. I am going to go.
Annual dinner of the Homeless Coalition, 6 pm Wed Dec 8. $60. For members only $40. David Skingleton keynote of the Ohio Justice and Policy Center.
Viddle: interesting experience; my dentures broke; so expensive! I am now denture poor. ... If you are poor, your access to services is slow.
Ellen: I get all my dental care at the city dental clinic and it is excellent!
Joe: Incredible conversation; the salad is increible as usual; I am grateful I can do my own mechanical work, it saves mony.
Byron: email... a woman at City Hall tomorrow at 5:30. Author Michelle Alexander speaking about "the New Jim Crow", the legal system is destroying the lives of young Blacks for a small amount of marijuana, while whites get 6 months for murder. Sponsored by Cinti. Human Relations Commission. She is eloquent and intelligent. She is fair minded.
Vlasta: on Fri I took my dog to Fountain Square to see if they would arrest me. 2 weeks ago I was turned away because "dogs are not allowed" on the square "private property". A policeman on a horse. I pointed out the dog, he said, "So what." He didn't know that 3CDC controls the square. For 20 years they get the garage revenue. Now the city is giving Washington Park (opposite Music Hall) to 3CDC.
Lauren: I am really upset that the wealthy are going to get their tax cuts. Today it came out that the Republicans made a deal with the Dems; the Dems get renewal of unemployment benefits, and the wealthy get their tax cuts exctended. Worth 700 billion dollars. NY Tikmes article today.

Ms. Anonymous: couple of weeks ago I attempted to explain ARCHE. Arts restoring community and Healing the Earth. Restoration and reconciliation of Cinti. to Native people, ... stewardship of the earth. Events coming up.
I am working on a logo for ... (will pass around the card with draft of the concept. ) What are your reactions?
Julia: you may have noticed the camp out in front of the school here in Clifton. Tent city. It is the parents camping out to be in line to enroll their children in the German Bilingual School. First come first served.
My daughter Sophia goes there.
I carried coffee at the camp out.
If the weather gets too rough, people can be sheltered in the gym.
Dan: Rand Paul humiliated the establishment stooge. I was glad. He swept the state. Tea Party. Is a little eccentric. son of Ron Paul. APAC, very influential...
Viddle: was writing on Einstein. There was a fascist PM in Israel, Menachem Begin. NY Times article, in the '50's; cited Begin for being a fascist. Not democratic. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fascism
"Fascism (pronounced /ˈfæʃɪzəm/) is a radical and authoritarian nationalist political ideology.[1][2][3][4] Fascists seek to organize a nation according to corporatist perspectives, values, and systems, including the political system and the economy.[5][6] Fascism was originally founded by Italian national syndicalists in World War I who combined extreme right-wing political views along with collectivism.[7][8][9] Scholars generally consider fascism to be on the far right.[10][11][12][13][14][15]Fascists believe that a nation is an
organic community that requires strong leadership, singular collective identity, and the will and ability to commit violence and wage war in order to keep the nation strong.[1"
... statues of Mussolini in Italy. Enormous heads. They had huge parades, flags... See the Nazi film "Triumph of the Will" by Leni Riefenstahl, (available online, see google "triumph of the will") presents fascism. A romantic movement. Beware of idealistikc political movements. The idea becomes more important than people.
Joe: I heard, is it true: the American Israeli Public Affairs Committee APAC will black ball politicians who don't support the Israeli agenda, zionism. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zionism
Mira: being myself a Progressive Jew, and a Junitarian Juniversalist, a peace activist, left wing. There are many Jews who recognize there should be a Palestinian state, and there should be justice for the Palestinians. ... there are Israeli youth who refuse to serve in the military because of the Palestinian issue.
Vlasta: I lived in Israel 1971-75. Became Jewish there. Was there during the 1973 war October, Yom Kippur War.
(?) In Croatia I was not raised in any religion.
Dan: there are 14 million Jews in the world, 7 in the US, 6 in Israel, and the rest scattered around the world. They are accomplished in every field. They have survived, when they were expelled in 1492 from Spain... impressive achievements. Why? Culture? DNA?
Viddle: if the Arabs would only accept the Israelis they would join in lifting the entire area economically... But the Arabs will have none of it.
(discussion of the salon... definition of salon: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salon_%28gathering%29)
Ms. Anonymous: What was your impression of the card?
I want to expand the idea of "win-win" to all our interactions, and include the welfare of the earth. Care of the earth. ... There is a benefit to the earth that occurs when two or more people hold that intention...
In Hendersonville NC there were two businesses, a coffee shop and another business... rented a store front ... a solar company is going to install a unit on the roof at no cost, will benefit 5 businesses there. Provide hot water for all at the same rates paid before the installation forever. The solar company gets the "old" utility payments which quickly pay off the instillation costs, the earth gets reduction in CO2, the businesses get cheap hot water. "win win".
Viddle: 30 years ago we had a company that made hot water heaters with parabolic mirrors.
Vlasta: by April I will have a hot water heater on my roof.
Ms. An.: fun salon topics for the future:
-cleaners. Products for cleaning stuff. We could bring in products that really work.
-Alternative energy suppliers... I get these announcements in the mail. (from Ellen: you can compare suppliers at this site: (Ohio Public Utilities Commission, a governmental agency. http://www.puco.ohio.gov/puco/applestoapples/index.cfm )
-Kambucha tea, "Fab Ferments" a local couple. We could bring and have a demonstration.
-Discuss the effects of APAC on our political system in our country, and not get side tracked onto Israel.
-Non-violent communication; we could have an instructor come.

Urge Congress to Pass "Disclose Act"
We just saw an election where corporations for the first time were allowed to secretly spend unlimited amounts of money through front-groups to try to buy elections. Right now Congress is considering passing a bill, the DISCLOSE Act, that would curtail the secrecy and force front-groups to let voters know which corporations and CEOs are funding their political attacks.
I just signed a petition urging Congress pass the DISCLOSE Act before the end of the year. The bill has bipartisan support but it won't move forward unless voters demand action. Follow this link to sign the petition:

Dear Wonderful Martin Luther King Chorale Singers (and anyone else who loves to sing),
It is the time of year when we gather to imagine the world Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was able to envision.
King saw the beauty that emerges when we all become drum majors for justice, when we step out in freedom's name, when we work for peace and religious tolerance, when we speak out against bigotry and endless spending on war rather than the social uplift of all people.
We have much work to do. Let us join together in song to broadcast hope and courage with a message bigger than each of us individually. Let's raise our joyfilled voices for justice. Let's send out a ringing, resonant choral endorsement of empathy and compassion.
Walk the Journey! Pass the Torch! Embrace the Dream
Rehearsals are every other week in 2010:
Tuesday November 23 @ 7
Tuesday December 7 @ 7
Tuesday December 21 @ 7
2011:
Tuesday January 4 @ 7
Tuesday January 11 @ 7
Saturday January 15 (10 to 12)
Our performance is on Martin Luther King Day, at Music Hall, Monday January 17. We will make our annual pilgrimage to Warren Correctional Institute on Friday January 14, and we usually perform at least one or two other run-outs in the community.
Thank you,
with love

Bentley Davis' updates on the political scene... Bentley rocks! Best politics expert I've met. Ellen
Political Notes:
Bentley is too busy (recovering from campaigning), but got questions? email her.
Bentley DAvis <bentleysdavis@gmail.com>
We rarely get a chance to see another country's editorial about the U.S.A.
Read this excerpt from a Romanian Newspaper. The article was written by Mr. Cornel Nistorescu and published under the title 'C'ntarea Americii, meaning 'Ode To America ') in the Romanian newspaper Evenimentulzilei 'The Daily Event' or 'News of the Day'.
~An Ode to America~
Why are Americans so united ? They would not resemble one another even if you painted them all one color ! They speak all the languages of the world and form an astonishing mixture of civilizations and religious beliefs.
On 9/11, the American tragedy turned three hundred million people into a hand put on the heart. Nobody rushed to accuse the White House, the Army, or the Secret Service that they are only a bunch of losers. Nobody rushed to empty their bank accounts. Nobody rushed out onto the streets nearby to gape about.
Instead the Americans volunteered to donate blood and to give a helping hand.
After the first moments of panic,they raised their flag over the smoking ruins, putting on T-shirts,caps and ties in the colors of the national flag. They placed flags on buildings and cars as if in every place and on every car a government official or the president was passing. On every occasion,they started singing: 'God Bless America !'
I watched the live broadcast and rerun after rerun for hours listening to the story of the guy who went down one hundred floors with a woman in a wheelchair without knowing who she was, or of the Californian hockey player,who gave his life fighting with the terrorists and prevented the plane from hitting a target that could have killed other hundreds or thousands of people.
How on earth were they able to respond united as one human being ? Imperceptibly,with every word and musical note,the memory of some turned into a modern myth of tragic heroes. And with every phone call, millions and millions of dollars were put into collection aimed at rewarding not a man or a family,but a spirit, which no money can buy. What on earth can unites the Americans in such way ? Their land ? Their history ?
Their economic Power ? Money ?
I tried for hours to find an answer, humming songs and murmuring phrases with the risk of sounding commonplace, I thought things over,I reached but only one conclusion. Onlyfreedom can work such miracles.
Cornel Nistorescu
(This deserves to be passed around the Internet forever.) It took a person on the outside - looking in - to see what we take for granted !

The New Jim Crow.... Book Talk Today at City Hall
Try not to miss author Michelle Alexander, speaking about her new book: THE NEW JIM CROW. It's about how the legal system is destroying lives of the good, smart and talented young blacks---over a small stash of marajuana. Her book goes into details about how unbalanced and unfair our justice system is. Adult white males will get 6-months for murder (this was in the news yesterday). Blacks will get the book thrown at them---costing them their college credits, barring them from getting a decent job, and decent housing---as they are branded for life. Meanwhile, 14 states have legalized the medicinal herb for the seriously ill. I have taped Michelle three times---and she is dynamic.
This Thursday event is sponsored by the Cin'ti Human Relations Commission --- open to the public --- 5:30 til 8:00 pm --- 3rd floor City Hall --- for details call Mrs Kyle 352-3237. TO HAVE A REAL DEMOCRACY YOU'VE GOT TO HAVE GOOD INFORMATION

Food Freedom ... Call Washington!
Campaign for Liberty broke the story earlier Monday, 11.15.10 that S.510, the horrific, fake "food safety" bill (and possibly its evil companions, S.3767 and the discredited S.3002) will be pushed through the Lame Duck Congress this week. It is definitely on the Obama Lame Duck Agenda.
ACT HERE NOW!
http://salsa.democracyinaction.org/o/568/p/dia/action/public/?action_KEY=4613
The C4L website has been offline, apparently a victim of hacking. This very well protected, very professional site was hit to stop the word getting out that Congressional insiders expect to move S.510 immediately.
IT IS URGENT THAT EVERY HEALTH AND FOOD FREEDOM GROUP WARN THEIR SUPPORTERS AND FLOOD CONGRESS WITH "NO S.510!" MESSAGES, STARTING NOW!
Please forward this message widely.
If you need information about the bills, see Talking Points here:
http://www.healthfreedomusa.org/?p=6910
Action item, to email US Senators, is here:
http://salsa.democracyinaction.org/o/568/p/dia/action/public/?action_KEY=4613
It is urgent that many thousands use the action item every day to make PUSH BACK work!

Learn Sarver Heart Center's Continuous Chest Compression CPR
Every three days, more Americans die from sudden cardiac arrest than the number who died in the 9-11 attacks. You can lessen this recurring loss by learning Continuous Chest Compression CPR, a hands-only CPR method that doubles a person's chance of surviving cardiac arrest. It's easy and does not require mouth-to-mouth contact, making it more likely bystanders will try to help, and it was developed at the University of Arizona College of Medicine.
"This video is worth sharing," said Gordon A. Ewy, MD, director of the UA Sarver Heart Center and one of the research pioneers who developed this method.

Bentley Davis' updates on the political scene... Bentley rocks! Best politics expert I've met. Ellen
Political Notes:
Bentley is too busy (recovering from campaigning), but got questions? email her.
Bentley DAvis <bentleysdavis@gmail.com>
We rarely get a chance to see another country's editorial about the U.S.A.
Read this excerpt from a Romanian Newspaper. The article was written by Mr. Cornel Nistorescu and published under the title 'C'ntarea Americii, meaning 'Ode To America ') in the Romanian newspaper Evenimentulzilei 'The Daily Event' or 'News of the Day'.
~An Ode to America~
Why are Americans so united ? They would not resemble one another even if you painted them all one color ! They speak all the languages of the world and form an astonishing mixture of civilizations and religious beliefs.
On 9/11, the American tragedy turned three hundred million people into a hand put on the heart. Nobody rushed to accuse the White House, the Army, or the Secret Service that they are only a bunch of losers. Nobody rushed to empty their bank accounts. Nobody rushed out onto the streets nearby to gape about.
Instead the Americans volunteered to donate blood and to give a helping hand.
After the first moments of panic,they raised their flag over the smoking ruins, putting on T-shirts,caps and ties in the colors of the national flag. They placed flags on buildings and cars as if in every place and on every car a government official or the president was passing. On every occasion,they started singing: 'God Bless America !'
I watched the live broadcast and rerun after rerun for hours listening to the story of the guy who went down one hundred floors with a woman in a wheelchair without knowing who she was, or of the Californian hockey player,who gave his life fighting with the terrorists and prevented the plane from hitting a target that could have killed other hundreds or thousands of people.
How on earth were they able to respond united as one human being ? Imperceptibly,with every word and musical note,the memory of some turned into a modern myth of tragic heroes. And with every phone call, millions and millions of dollars were put into collection aimed at rewarding not a man or a family,but a spirit, which no money can buy. What on earth can unites the Americans in such way ? Their land ? Their history ?
Their economic Power ? Money ?
I tried for hours to find an answer, humming songs and murmuring phrases with the risk of sounding commonplace, I thought things over,I reached but only one conclusion. Onlyfreedom can work such miracles.
Cornel Nistorescu
(This deserves to be passed around the Internet forever.) It took a person on the outside - looking in - to see what we take for granted !

TWO FROM BYRON MOODY, SALONISTA:
Lay the Favorite is the story of Beth Raymer's years in the high-stakes, high-anxiety world of sports betting—a period that saw the fall of the local bookie and the rise of the freewheeling, unregulated offshore sports book, and with it the elevation of sports betting in popular culture. As the business explodes, Beth rises—from assistant to expert, trusted and seasoned enough to open an offshore booking office in the Caribbean with a few associates, men who leave their families up north to make a quick killing, while donning new tropical personas fueled by abundant drugs and local girlfriends, and who one by one succumb to their vices. They lie, cheat, steal, and run, until Beth is the last man standing.
Beth Raymer is a natural storyteller: funny, charming, and fully awake to the ironies around her. But she is also a keen and compassionate observer of the adrenaline-addicted, rougish types who become her mentors, her enemies, her family. Raymer brings to life a world that teems with pathos and ecstasy in this wild picaresque that also tells the story of a young woman's crazy, sexy, most unlikely coming-of-age.
The second one is The Good Son by Michael Gruber:
Peace, Byron
Beth Raymer is a natural storyteller: funny, charming, and fully awake to the ironies around her. But she is also a keen and compassionate observer of the adrenaline-addicted, rougish types who become her mentors, her enemies, her family. Raymer brings to life a world that teems with pathos and ecstasy in this wild picaresque that also tells the story of a young woman's crazy, sexy, most unlikely coming-of-age.
The second one is The Good Son by Michael Gruber:
Gruber's seventh novel, "The Good Son," is perhaps his most ambitious. He seems to have learned a great deal about the religion and culture of the Muslim world, and he wants to examine that world alongside our own and to investigate why the two find themselves in such terrible conflict. He tells his story through a mother and her son.
Sonia Bailey, a shrewd and colorful American, worked in a circus as a teenager, then married a Pakistani lawyer named Laghari, whom she chanced to meet in Central Park. They moved to Lahore, Pakistan, where their son, Theo, was raised. When Theo was 10, after a family tragedy, he and his best friend ran off to become weapons carriers for the jihadists fighting the Russians in Afghanistan. At the age of 13, Theo became legendary when he single-handedly took a fortress and killed 60 Afghan government soldiers and their Russian advisers. At that point, his mother found him and took him back to America, where in time he joined the army.
As the novel begins, Sonia, by now a celebrated psychotherapist, is part of a group of activists who go to Pakistan for a conference on world peace and are promptly taken hostage by terrorists. Theo, now a professional assassin for a secret military agency, sets out to rescue his mother.
He knows the American government won't exert itself to save a bunch of peace activists, so he devises a plot to convince the National Security Agency that the captors also have a stolen nuclear weapon -- which, of course, would demand immediate military action. This leads to a nice satire of life among ambitious intelligence operatives, including one young woman who is sleeping with her middle-aged boss even as she plots to oust him.
My only complaint about the novel is that its middle section, when Sonia and her colleagues are held captive, drags a bit as they discuss at length religion, peace, poetry and various aspects of the Muslim psyche, and as Sonia charms her captors by interpreting their dreams. But Gruber serves up a slam-bang ending that involves a nuclear weapon, a gun battle, a plot to blow up Saudi oil terminals and many surprises. Theo, of course, must decide which country, the United States or Pakistan, is his true home.
The novel is highlighted by pithy, usually sardonic remarks about both East and West. Gruber savages Muslims for their treatment of women, as when an angry American tells the jihadists that they fight to preserve "not the modesty but the stupidity of women, and when you succeed these stupid women produce even stupider sons -- yourselves."
Theo has this to say about America's current adventure: "There was no Afghanistan the way there was a France or a Canada, there were only individuals and families and clans, and the Americans trying to make it different was like assembling a fighter plane out of wet toilet paper." If you happen to share Gruber's worldview, this is a novel that may teach you a lot about why the two sides -- "crusaders" and "jihadists" -- are locked in blind, seemingly endless war.
