Cognitive Dissonance and Our Ability to Understand the Depth of Our Holy Torah

Cognitive Dissonance and Our Ability to Understand the Depth of Our Holy Torah: "idea of cognitive dissonance can be easily resolved, while it is also possibly more difficult to resolve. all this being said I want to at least introduce several concepts which have caused me to reflect often as to what could really be their deeper meaning. I express these thoughts regardless of weather they are concepts which are grounded in Torah study or alternatively simply thoughts which are grounded only within my own mind as being related to the ideas being discussed."

Scripting News: I deleted my Facebook account

Scripting News: I deleted my Facebook account: "According to Facebook's rules, they will wait two weeks before actually deleting it. This seems reasonable. I've been on the other side of this, and it saves them the grief of having to deal with people who impulsively delete their accounts and then decide they want them back. Two weeks is enough time to decide if you really mean it.  

Already people are wondering how long this will last, as if being part of Facebook is a permanent thing, like having a driver's license or passport.  

For me it was not an impulsive decision. I hadn't logged on to Facebook since we discovered that you couldn't log out, starting with this post on September 24. But I had never been a big Facebook user"

Social Ad Cloud: PromotionWorld : 5 SEO Strategies that Stand the Test of Time: "I love SEO, don’t get me wrong. When compared to other mediums, SEO consistently brings the most cost efficient website traffic time and time again. However, too many SEO people tend to view SEO as the business and/or brand strategy, not a medium or marketing campaign that supports the business. They think the tail wags the dog so to speak.

It’s easy to view SEO campaigns through the lens of links, link value, keyword density, etc. Someone says something like, “We need an infographic!” And when you ask, “To communicate what message or thought?” they tend to say, “I don’t know, but infographics are really a good way to get links."

Apple planning solar farm near data center, report says | Apple - CNET News: "The company has won approval to reshape the slope of 171 acres of vacant land it owns adjacent to the data center in preparation for a data center, according to permits issued in Catawba County. However, the permit offered no details about the solar farm project itself--dubbed Project Dolphin Solar Farm-- including its size, the newspaper noted.
Apple has spent reportedly $1 billion to build a 500,000-square-foot behemoth of a data center in Maiden, N.C., which had the code name Project Dolphin.

In front of a huge television screen those gathered caught their first glimpse of Shalit, stumbling out of a van, held up on either side by armed men, they let out a loud but controlled cheer. Three teenage girls, dark curls tumbling down their cheeks, burst into tears and turned away.
The television replayed over and over his first, tentative, steps, before switching to his unexpected and unwanted interview with Egyptian television."

The release of Gilad Shalit was felt personally, not politically, by the people of Mitzpe Hila, his family's hilltop village. But they could not ignore the ramifications of his presence, a fragile-looking bargaining chip valued a worthy exchange for 1,027 Palestinians."

Of course WIPO is one of the groups which administer domain name disputes and to see the head of it take such a pro-IP stance as to wish the entire Internet was protected by IP interests and that every user would be force to pay IP interests fees to use the net, it certainly gives you an indication of what domain holders are up against in a WIPO action"

Yet in the interim, David Weprin, a self-declared Orthodox Jew, voted in favor of same-gender marriage, and proudly marched in the parade which promoted this agenda.

While many Jews typically vote Democratic because of their concern for social ills, and also because they are often the recipient of social programs, I was proud to see that many voted their conscience even though it may conflict with their pocketbooks.

In an election that was seen by many nationally as a referendum on Barack Obama's policies, the way he is handling the economy and foreign policy regarding Israel, I was doubly proud to see this clear message sent to Washington that we will not be silent regarding the above mentioned issues."

Uncategorized | ChaiDomains.com - Part 30: "South Africa tiger cubs born in captivity to learn hunting skills so they can be released into the wild. With the number of tigers in the wild thought to be as low as 30, Chinese conservationists are ready to try desperate measures to avoid the endangered sub-species of Chinese tiger, or Panthera tigris amoyensis, becoming only a zoo animal. About 60 of the species survive and breed in zoos and game parks, but they are thought to have lost the ability to fend for themselves in the natural environment"

Teaneck Parents Eyeing Public (School) Option | The Jewish Week

Teaneck Parents Eyeing Public (School) Option | The Jewish Week: "Teaneck parents who are pulling their children out, or considering pulling them out, of yeshivas and day schools (along with a quick perusal of the controversial and largely anonymous, but widely read, “Bergen County Yeshiva Tuition” blog) reveal that many families are financially overwhelmed, resentful of those they think are abusing the scholarship system and increasingly skeptical that a full-day intensive Jewish education is worth sacrificing seemingly everything else for."

Roger Cohen - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Roger Cohen - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia: "Iraq
Cohen supported the American-led invasion of Iraq. He criticized the Bush administration's handling of the occupation while still supporting the cause given the brutality of Saddam Hussein's regime. In January 2009, he commented that Saddam's 'death-and-genocide machine killed about 400,000 Iraqis and another million or so people in Iran and Kuwait.' He wrote that 'I still believe Iraq’s freedom outweighs its terrible price.'[15]"

Ron Radosh » Memo to The New York Times: Fire Roger Cohen!

Ron Radosh » Memo to The New York Times: Fire Roger Cohen!: "endless anti-Semitism and Holocaust denial of President Ahmadinejad? As Cohen sees it, one has to ask what is more significant; the ranting or that the Iranian Jews live in “relative tranquility,” as proved by the fact that he has seldom “been treated with such consistent warmth as in Iran.” He recognizes that in 1999 Iran arrested Shiraz Jews on trumped-up charges of espionage, which was “the regime at its worst.” Still, he explains, Jews have one representative in Parliament, although a Muslim is not allowed to vote for a Jewish candidate. So, Cohen suggests we show “realism” about Iran, and not respond to it in a way that makes us see Iran as a rogue regime."

Sept. 11 Suspects to Be Tried in Military Court - NYTimes.com

Sept. 11 Suspects to Be Tried in Military Court - NYTimes.com: "Obama administration’s largely frustrated effort to dismantle counterterrorism architecture left behind by former President George W. Bush. President Obama, in one of his first initiatives, had announced his intention to close the Guantánamo prison in a year, a goal that he failed to fulfill.

Mr. Holder said Monday that he stood by his judgment that it made more sense, based on the facts and evidence of the case, to try Mr. Mohammed, described as the mastermind behind the Sept. 11 attacks, and the four others in a federal court. He criticized restrictions imposed by Congress last year that banned the military from using its funds to transfer detainees to domestic soil, even for trials."

China, US simply decide oil market's trend - Focus discussion - People Forum

China, US simply decide oil market's trend - Focus discussion - People Forum: "The U.S. summer driving season starts next week amid predictions that gasoline consumption in the U.S. will be lower than last year as squeezed motorists cut back due to high prices.

The U.S. summer driving season starts next week amid predictions that gasoline consumption in the U.S. will be lower than last year as squeezed motorists cut back due to high prices. Fear that this phenomenon will diminish overall oil demand has been a big factor in the recent fall in international oil prices from their April high of $127 a barrel.

However on the other side of the world, industry observers see the opposite situation due to the threat of electricity shortages in China. If power supply is tightly rationed this summer and the Chinese turn to backup oil-fired generators as they have in the past, oil demand may be significantly higher than previous predictions."

Yemen: "Islamic Emirate" by AQAP? - Focus discussion - People Forum

Yemen: "Islamic Emirate" by AQAP? - Focus discussion - People Forum: "The international observers say the AQAP’s seizing the capital is not a surprise. Since the eruption of the four-month-long anti-government protests aimed at ousting Yemeni President Ali Abdullah Saleh, who has been in power since 1978, the AQAP has launched sporadic heavy attacks on Zinjibar. Now they have the mature conditions to take up the city.

Zinjibar is the capital of Abyan province in south central Yemen. The impoverished state, which was the ancestral homeland of Osama bin Laden, has been wracked by violence amid protests to end President Ali Abdullah Saleh's near 33-year rule.


Washington considers al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula - the Yemen-based al-Qaeda franchise - to be the world's most active terrorist cell."

Chinese central gov't vows to take lead in eliminating wasteful practices - People's Daily Online

Chinese central gov't vows to take lead in eliminating wasteful practices - People's Daily Online: "Chinese State councilor Ma Kai addresses a conference in Beijing, capital of China, May 31, 2011. Chinese central government departments and central organizations of the Communist Party of China (CPC) held a conference on Tuesday, where they pledged to set an example for the rest of the country by strictly controlling and reforming government spending. (Xinhua/Wang Ye)

Central government departments and central organizations of the Communist Party of China (CPC) held a conference on Tuesday, where they pledged to set an example for the rest of the country by strictly controlling and reforming government spending.

Premier Wen Jiabao sent a message to the meeting in which he said 'our goal is to create a clean and economical government.'"

Bloggers Note: Now coming from China, that just sounds smart. In the US, someone would be accused of cutting out important services that are essential for the poor.

However in truth there are all these little "juicy" tax incentive type things or all kinds of government spending ways, or creating tax loopholes or ease "environmental restrictions" that help politicians "pay back" their campaign supporters.

Opinion: America's dogfight over debt woes worsening - People's Daily Online

Opinion: America's dogfight over debt woes worsening - People's Daily Online: "The dogfight between the two major US political parties on whether to raise the federal deficit ceiling and avoid a default on American debts has just begun.

The stakes are high that, if no agreement comes out, the US would be sent to another financial crisis and the global economy would face the dim prospect of another great recession.

China, now holding more than 8 percent, or nearly $1.2 trillion US Treasury bonds, is certainly concerned about the quagmire, as the security of the debts repayment is on the line.

Currently， Chinese online chat-rooms are awash with ordinary people's demands for Beijing to draw down its purchase of American debts, and shift to other securer investments including buying more oil and resources as strategic reserves."

Game Over for Gaddafi — The Israel Situation

Game Over for Gaddafi — The Israel Situation: "uprising that is sweeping the Middle East has reached Libya is not the surprise. Colonel Gaddafi’s authoritarian style was always going to be under attack as soon as his people had sufficient support and confidence to rebel against him. What has been most shocking for me is the way in which some of Gaddafi’s closest circle have rebelled against him without being pushed very hard.

First was the strange story of two Libyan Mirage fighter jets that arrived in Malta last week. We were led to understand that the pilots had defected from Libya with their planes after they were ordered to bomb protestors who had taken over Libya’s second-largest city, Benghazi. Considering that pilots are regarded amongst the elite of the elite of the Libyan military and Libyan society in general, I would imagine that pilots are screened to ensure their loyalty to Gaddafi and his regime. As such, they should not"

Palestinians attack al-Jazeera ‘distorted’ talks leaks | bdtodaynews.com: "Among the leaked papers, the reported offers relating to East Jerusalem are the most controversial, as the issue has been a huge stumbling block in peace talks. Both Israelis and Palestinians claim Jerusalem as their capital.Israel has occupied the West Bank, including East Jerusalem, since 1967, establishing close to 500,000 Jews in more than 100 settlements.

According to al-Jazeera, in May 2008 Ahmed Qurei, the lead Palestinian negotiator at the time, proposed that Israel annex all Jewish settlements in East Jerusalem except Har Homa (Jabal Abu Ghneim), in a bid to reach a final deal.

“This is the first time in history that we make such a proposition,” he reportedly said, pointing out that this was a bigger concession than that made at Camp David talks in 2000.

“We are offering you the biggest Yerushalayim in Jewish history,” negotiator Saeb Erekat was quoted as saying, using the Hebrew word for Jerusalem."

Serbia braces for Mladic extradition protests
Filed under Internationalno comments
Ref: Serb authorities have tightened security ahead of protests by supporters of Ratko Mladic, the former Bosnian Serb general awaiting extradition to the Hague to face war crimes charges.



Extreme right-wing groups urged their supporters, mostly soccer hooligans, to join Sunday’s planned rally in front of parliament in downtown Belgrade, the capital.

The rally, organised organised by the ultranationalist Serbian Radical Party, is seen as a test about whether Mladic still enjoys popular support after 16 years as a fugitive.

A Serbian judge ruled on Friday the 69-year-old had a medical commission “which has determined he is fit for further proceedings”.

Police officials said they had turned attention to groups planning the protests.

“Additional attention has been focused on the extremist groups these days,” said Ivica Dacic, Serbia’s police chief. “We are taking measures to prevent the escalation of extremist behavior."

Worldandnation: Golan families dream of reunion

Worldandnation: Golan families dream of reunion: "'Why can I not see them any more?' he wondered.

In the four decades since, the 20,000 Druze of the Golan Heights have found advantages and drawbacks to their 'unidentified nationality' - as it says on their Israeli-issued travel documents.

Druze and Jews get along well. Hundreds work together at the Mount Hermon ski resort or on farms and kibbutzim, growing the apples and other fruits for which the Golan is famous.

Druze also appreciate their freedom of speech in Israel, far different from autocratic Syria where 'the only time you open your mouth is at the dentist,' Salih jokes.

But he and most other Druze in the Golan rejected Israel's offer of citizenship, fearing Syria might punish them if the area ever returned to Syrian control. For that reason, they don't serve in the Israeli army, either.

'It would be so difficult to take a gun and tank and kill my uncles in Syria,' said Salih, a former teacher who owns a guest house near Mount Hermon."

He attended the Agricultural School there. At the age of 14, he joined the newly formed Jewish militia known as the Haganah. In 1938 he joined the Palestine Supernumerary Police and became a motorized patrol ('MAN') commander.One of his military heroes was the British pro-Zionist officer Orde Wingate, under whom he served in several Special Night Squads operations.

On 3 October 1939 he was the commanding instructor for Haganah Leader's courses held at Yavniel when two British Palestine Police Officers discovered a quantity of illegal rifles. Haganah HQ ordered the camp to be evacuated. Leading a group of 43 men through Wadi Bira, early the following morning, they were arrested by 12 to 15 Arab members of the Transjordan Frontier Force. Questions were asked about why such a large force were arrested by a much smaller one. Moshe Carmel, the groups deputy commander, was also critical of Dayan's willingness to talk to his interrogators in Acre prison. On 30 October 1939 most of the group were sentenced to ten years in prison. Seven"
