��Could this be our old StumbleUpon, once
the move is complete in early December?

The person who posted the photo to Flickr commented that "every time I go there I end up the night by stripping off my clothes & baying at
passing cars".

So yes, that would be our old StumbleUpon, with its disproportionate number of drunks and outcasts.

A lot went quiet after the new broom Walter swept through mid last year but a larger change is at hand now, and not all of us will adapt.

This post is dedicated to those who have not embraced
the shiny new white-painted and possibly whiteWASHED
quarters of Version 4 and now feel somewhat abandoned.

I propose in fact that we call a meeting
and discuss our options (over a drink).
Is V4 a goer or not, and if not, where to next?

Al Jazeera English - Focus - Jewish directors challenge Israel

Sat, 07 Nov 2009 02:34:28 -0800

From the page

A series of controversial Israeli films are provoking outrage and plaudits in equal measure at the London Film Festival.

The best documentary award has gone to one of the year's most controversial films.

Defamation is a polemic by Israeli filmmaker Yoav Shamir. In his expose of America's Anti-Defamation League (ADL), he claims anti-Semitism is being exaggerated for political purposes.

He argues that American Jewish leaders travel around the world exploiting the memory of the Holocaust to silence criticism of Israel.

He gets inside the ADL, which claims to be the most powerful lobby group of its type anywhere in the world.

With unprecedented access, he travels with them as they meet foreign leaders, and use the memory of the Holocaust to further their pro-Israeli agenda.

At one point, an ADL leader admits to Shamir that "we need to play on that guilt".

Shamir says his film, Defamation, started out as a study of "the political games being played behind the term anti-Semitism".

"It became more a film about perceptions and the way Jews and Israelis choose to see themselves and define themselves - a lot of the time unfortunately choosing the role of eternal victims as a way of life."

Uday's story is told below the photo at the link.
He was shot for befriending some American
soldiers and eventually granted asylum.

The photographer would also like you to know . . . "that bird is real".

Bit of rain at the weekend, then getting hot again, like him.
Cool.

Amazingly, he can tell you what the weather
will be like pretty much anywhere.
