More than one hundred Jewish leaders from the United States are calling on Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to make clear “Israel’s readiness to make painful territorial sacrifices for the sake of peace.”
“We believe that this is a compelling moment for you and your new government to respond to President Obama’s call for peace by taking concrete confidence-building steps designed to demonstrate Israel’s commitment to a ‘two-states for two peoples’ solution to the Israel-Palestinian conflict,” the letter to Netanyahu said. The campaign was organized by the Israel Policy Forum.
“We urge you, in particular, to work closely with Secretary of State John Kerry to devise pragmatic initiatives, consistent with Israel’s security needs, which would represent Israel’s readiness to make painful territorial sacrifices for the sake of peace,” the document continued.
The letter was delivered to Netanyahu just before Kerry's planned visit to Israel and the Palestinian areas on April 8 and April 9 and just two weeks after Kerry accompanied Obama to Israel.
Exercising such leadership, the letter continued, “would challenge Palestinian leaders to take similarly constructive steps, including, most importantly, a prompt return to the negotiating table.”
The signees – who spoke only for themselves and not as representatives of their organizations – include Rabbi Rick Jacobs, the president of the Union for Reform Judaism and Richard Pearlstone, a former chairman of the board of governors of the Jewish Agency. Other signees included Susie Gelman, the immediate past president of the Jewish Federation of Greater Washington and Dov Zakheim, a former Pentagon official who served as a top adviser to Mitt Romney's presidential campaign.
Although well intentioned, the letter to Prime Minister Netanyahu calling for territorial concessions as a good will gesture toward peace are naïve, at best. Israeli Economy and Trade Minister Naftali Bennett pointed this out last week, accusing President Obama of “wishful thinking and naiveté regarding the path to peace in the Middle East” for proposing the so-called two-state solution. That view – echoed in the letter from the American Jewish leaders to Netanyahu – perpetuates the myth that if Israel concedes enough, peace will come. Such talk, Bennett concluded, is “distant from reality.” As you pray for the peace of Jerusalem and Israel, pray that Israel’s leaders will stand strong against the pressure to offer unilateral concessions by giving up the land given to them by God and won through armed conflict.

Ok, you might ask why. Well there is a tree with hundreds of shoes hanging in it right next to us. The light was too good in this shot. Here it is. Like it more every time I see it. SOOC
Alya and I went out to the spot that got screwed up over the weekend. Guess what, it got screwed up again. Its jinxed and I am strongly considering not going again.
Since we were there, we made the best of it and I just played with some cool angles and was trying to get very soft light and very very very smooth bokeh. I liked these best.
experimenting with the light tonight with some soft focusing thrown in the mix...

Dallas, Texas. The Pearlstone building stands behind a wall off of 1st Street in Dallas. It almost looked like a castle from my vantage point. Shot at night, long exposure and mixed ambient light.

Larvikite is also known as black labradorite, & the pendant bead in this necklace is a beautiful example of why. Grey-blue flash is visible at many angles, as well as in the smaller pieces in the necklace.
I've wire-wrapped sterling silver to link the various beads - coins & rounds of larvikite, 2 sizes of grey recycled sea glass, and small blue swirled glass cubes that draw out the blue
This is a truly stunning piece of stone, so perfect it needs no complement. It is a darker stone than standard labradorite but it still has a lot of grey-blue flash to it. Larvikite is also known as spectrolite, black labradorite and even Norwegian Pearl granite or blue pearlstone

Old Chicago beer tour leads to good things ;). Tonight I met Vicki who graciously volunteered to let me pop a quick shot off at her. I would have liked to have another go at it, but one is enough for tonight. Hopefully I might get the chance to shoot her again actually. Vicki is an aspiring musician who is closing in on producing her first album. Best of luck to you Vicki. Come see me sometime and we'll do this right ;)
Before you ask, yes, she really has a lot of color in her cheeks. Made the processing kinda difficult until I tried in B&W and really liked it.

I took this photo because the tall tree in the center-right reminded me of a Cezanne painting that I love. Now that I am looking at the painting, the resemblance has faded. Oh well. I think there are some cool lines in it, anyway.

Some glass art from a gallery in New Harmony. I don't have the artists name handy but I will get it and update you soon. It was a super cool exhibit. These glass women clothing items were super small, I'd estimate maybe only 3-4 inches tall.

Dub-Cuz Joel had rented out this expansive exurban campus called Pearlstone in the williwags of Baltimore, which had a character somewhere between a religious cultist encampment, a corporate retreat, and a posh summer camp. There were various entertainments like canoes on the manmade lake, a bonfire pit, and ziplining; the accommodations were blandly comfortable (if lacking in tiny soaps and shampoos, since its theme was environmental stewardship); and a vast tent had been raised out on the lawn occuping the central area of the campus amidst the administrative center and lodging. All very convenient for a bar mitzvah weekend involving a goodly number of attendees who did not travel far on the sabbath. After an afternoon of hiking around the rather brambly trails in the further reaches of the property with my parents and some board games with further-flung relatives, the requisite party was under the aforementioned bigtop, complete with the likewise requisite hoisting of the bar mitzvah boy into the air on a chair.
Pearl represents the powers of planet Moon. It is considered that Moon planet spreads calm and peace. Buy original Pearl stone to wear that provides several benefits when it is worn in silver.
