“I am not a failure. I am a success that hasn't occurred yet”
A scary article by Robert Parry; Intelligence sources say President Bush - along with Israel's Ehud Olmert and the UK's Tony Blair - are weighing the possibility of Israeli-led attacks on Syria and Iran in early 2007, with the United States providing logistical back-up. A Very Dangerous 2007

A man walks into a bar
Barbara Walters did a story on gender roles in Kabul several years before the Afghan conflict. She noted that women customarily walked 5 paces behind their husbands.
Recently she returned to Kabul and observed that women still walk behind their husbands. Despite the overthrow of the oppressive Taliban regime, the women now seem to walk even further back behind their husbands and are happy to maintain the old custom.
Ms. Walters approached one of the Afghani women and asked, "Why do you now seem happy with the old custom that you once tried so desperately to change?"
The woman looked Ms. Walters straight in the eyes, and without hesitation said, "Land Mines."
A man walks into a bar with a dog. The bartender says, "Hey buddy, can't you read that sign? It says no dogs allowed! Get that mutt out of here!" The man replies, "No, I can't read the sign - I'm blind, and this is my seeing eye dog." The bartender is embarrassed and gives the man a beer on the house. Later that day, the guy is telling his friend about it: "I told him I was blind and I got a free beer!" The friend then takes his dog into the bar and sits down, and the bartender says, "The sign says no dogs allowed! You'll have to leave!" The friend says, "Sorry, I can't see the sign because I'm blind, and this is my seeing eye dog." The bartender replies, "Since when do they give out Chihuahuas as seeing eye dogs?" The man says, "They gave me a Chihuahua?". All the Guy Walks Into a Bar... Jokes. (From Coudal)

Escobar’s Hippos
Cowscapes by Rachael Sudlow
Pablo Escobar lived in a 5,500-acre estate 100 miles east of Medellin, Colombia. He built a bullring, an airstrip, an ersatz Jurassic Park with half a dozen immense concrete dinosaurs. He stocked a private wild animal park with hundreds of animals, including elephants, camels, giraffes, ostriches and zebras. He installed four hippos in one of the estate's 12 man-made lakes.
Today, Hacienda Napoles is in ruins, taken over by jungle foliage and bats. But the hippos are still here

When we were kids
The Great Songs of Moshe Wilensky: Wilensky (1910 - 1997) was one of the most influential composers of the new Israeli Song. He wrote his melodies to the lyrics of prominent Hebrew poets such as Natan Alterman, Tirza Atar and more. The famous singer Shoshona Dammari, as well as Chava Alberstein, and others, performed his greatest hits.
The site includes musical notes, sound, video clips, pictures and scores of 14 songs (on the right sidebar). Here is a typical, evocative song (In 4 versions on the left side - try No. 4 sung by Yehoram Gaon, first):
When we were just kids,
We played on the dunes of the great sea
We lost an aluminum bucket in the sand
And with it we lost a tear of childhood…
Nothing is left now…
And then when we were teens,
We walked on the sand with girls in curls
We dropped a flower on the sands
And with it we lost a tear of puberty…
Nothing is left now…
(etc.)
Also, Religious popular music from Upper Egypt. (Found on Metafilter)

Metric Olympics
When Lisa Suben took a job last year as the fifth-grade math teacher at the AIM Academy in Southeast D.C., she was told her lessons had already been prepared for her. AIM was the second charter school founded for low-income D.C. students by KIPP, the Knowledge Is Power Program. KIPP had gained a national reputation for math instruction. The KIPP leaders in D.C. had good reason to think, as they told Suben, that "we have math pretty much figured out."
Suben, 23 at the time, still thought she could do better. She told her supervisors she was going to produce her own fifth-grade math curriculum. A year later, her students achieved the largest one-year math score jump ever seen at a KIPP school from the 16th to the 77th percentile... (More inside)

Donut Robot of Love
"Everyone loves doughnuts, but not hundreds of them, much to my dismay. My neighbors are already tired of eating doughnuts, but I have high hopes I can sell delicious doughnuts in DaughterBot's school for fundraising. Making a shopping bag full of doughnuts costs me about $8 (and cheaper if I buy shortening by the block and not by the can), and depending on how much I sell each doughnut for, I could make ONE MILLION DOLLARS. Or I could just eat the doughnuts, that's probably an even better deal to me!” The Donut Robot of Love 2000

150 great documentaries
I just finished reading Kevin Kelly’s latest book, True Film 2.0, and I am blown away. (I mentioned his experimentation with personal book publishing just a few days ago).
Kelly reviews 150 of his family’s favorite documentaries, educational films, instructional how-to's, and what the British call “factuals”. In short, compelling descriptions he brings those wonderful films alive.
So many great-sounding movies! From the obvious, famous classics to the wondrous & obscure (Chickens and the people who love them). Movies about music & art, nature and history, cruelty, misery, bigotry, human triumph, obsession & loss. Mmmm
Here are a few, random samples from the book:
New York Doll about the unlikely rise, the predictable fall, and the final resurrection of a little-known rock musician
Baraka: “A cinematic poem celebrating the human relation to the eternal. Not a word is spoken, but every person alive in the twenty-four countries this was filmed in would understand it. It’s about Us on Earth Now… The first truly sacred film I’ve seen”
The Cruise: An unforgettable portrait of a truly original human being who happens to give tours of New York City on a double decker bus. The hero is either mentally ill or one of the most profound living poets. Or both. You can't tell. For sure, here is someone who "thinks different"
Hearts of Darkness, about Apocalypse now
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Kelly’s previous book: Asia Grace. One memorable documentary he missed: American Pictures
In the past, I used to see hundreds of movies per year, and many documentaries, but in this millenium, “not so many”… (Maybe I should even get a TV screen again and sign up for Netflix?)
A wonderful read. Buy it online.

More dead bloggers
I just learned that John Mudd, one of the very first real estate bloggers, died a few months ago as a result of complications from juvenile diabetes. John Mudd was a pioneer, who started his Tampa Bay’s Inside Real Estate Journal in 2003 when there were literally only a couple of such blogs. Since then he had been actively involved with issues of real estate blogging, lecturing, publishing articles and promoting the concept. He will be missed.
Another young blogger who passed away last week is Star of Sarcasmo’s Corner. RIP
