Maybe I'm nutty, but it seems to me that the world is sick and tired of dealing with folks who all seem to require armed conflict to solve their problems, regardless of what ever dogma they happen to follow. Below is a listing of all of the formal armed conflicts in the world today. The year listed is the year the conflict began.

The current stream of terrorism is not included in this list.

At first pass, it would appear that people who follow Islam are a bit over represented.

The following table shows where wars and armed conflicts are raging throughout the world in 2009. Find the year that war began and the major warring parties involved by region of conflict, including the Middle East, Asia, Africa, Europe, and Latin America.

Main warring parties

U.S. and UK vs. Iraq 2003

Israel vs. Palestinians 1948

Yemen: Government forces vs. the rebel group Shabab al-Moumineen (The Youthful Believers) 2004

Turkey: Government forces vs. the Kurdish Workers' Party (PKK) 1999

Afghanistan: U.S., UK, and Coalition Forces vs. al-Qaeda and Taliban 2001

India vs. Kashmiri separatist groups/Pakistan 1948

India vs. Assam insurgents (various) 1979

Philippines vs. Mindanaoan separatists
(MILF/ASG) 1971

Sri Lanka vs. Tamil Eelan2 1978

Algeria vs. Armed Islamic Group (GIA) 1991

Somalia vs. rival clans and Islamist groups 1991

Sudan vs. Darfur rebel groups 2003

Uganda vs. Lord's Resistance Army (LRA) 1986

Russia vs. Chechen separatists 1994

Colombia vs. National Liberation Army (ELN) 1978

Colombia vs. Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC) 1978

Colombia vs. Autodefensas Unidas de Colombia (AUC) 1990

Yes, then you are a racist.

You can't blame the entire race of people based on their color just because a few morons raped you.

Does that seriously need to be explained?

I said nothing about blaming an entire race.

You said, as did the OP, that if you're robbed or raped by multiple black men it makes you a racist.

That does need explaining.

You are wasting your time peeps. It's all being said before ad nauseam on other threads. The OP, who has his/her own agenda is as blinkered as others are accused of being. This little rant is aimed at stirring people up and it's working.
The fact is - I think most of us realise the world is not conveniently black and white but when we try to call the truth as we see it, it's too easy to pull the racist card. This sort of thing is, as much as anything, what throttles free speech in our politically correct world.
I think when someone puts 'truth' in their username, it says something about entrenched views. When you debate an issue with such a person or dare to take a different tack, you will always be wrong.

Really? Hmmm...

Looking on a few websites, the estimated world population of muslim indviduals is between 1.2 billion and 1.82 billion, between 2005 and 2009 (the estimates vary based on who is researching).

But taking an example from here, at 1.82 billion, you're saying that only 0.0001% or 1820 people of that total care if you're muslim or not?

From what I can tell, no facts of course, it seems that there's a few more than 1820 muslim people in the world who in fact *do* care if other people are following the Islamic faith. I think the combined Al Queda, Taliban and whatever other nutjob clubhouses out there are a few more than 2000 people.

If you just pulled that percentage out of your head then it, like the rest of yor post, is bunk.

fyi, I'm not a pro-muslim person - I'm an atheist so couldn't care less about any religion. But if you're going to "make up" statistics then expect to be called on them.

I understand where you are coming from. It's sad to see people fear and demonise the whole population based on the actions of a small faction of extremists. You will find bad people in all religions and cultures.

To other non-Muslims I say this: there is nothing wrong with being cautious or weary. Every person has the obligation to show you who they are and how they feel before gaining your friendship and/or trust. But treat Muslims around you with respect and tolerance. Give them the opportunity to show you their character and actions - not the character and actions of Extremist Muslims overseas.

On a side note, I don't think hate for Islam is because of "American propaganda". Most people are just concerned about the danger of Radical Islam. It unfortunately is a real threat to all those opposed to Islamic Fundamentalism - including Moderates. But we have a much better chance of defeating Fundamentalist ideology when all of us in the middle put aside our differences and work together.

Bringing more hate and division will create more Extremists in all religions in all regions!

Actually it was the CIA's statistics that said there is only a couple hundred al Qaeda.. a couple hundred Taliban. Every other Muslim is just trying to survive, find a good wife / husband, and raise a family.

I can tell you for a fact that the Quran teaches that every man is only responsible for their own soul.

However, you didn't say terrorist organisations in your post, you didn't differentiate between "all" muslims and those with a more fanatical view.

You claimed 99.9999% of Muslims couldn't care if you followed their faith or not.

I would have changed that to 100% of real muslims respect your belief to "not believe" in their faith.

I haven't seen any stats on what the percentage of fundamental/fanatical mulism extremists are of the world's total mulism population. But at a guess, I'd estimate it as higher than 0.0001%.

This is truly not the best thought out rant I have seen. You say all Islamic countries are on the verge of collapse hmm I wonder why maybe their religion is just a little to radical and factions split off and instead of living together they feel the need to kill off the opposition. Could that be it? But no it is grand economic plan to enslave them ya right except for the fact they have been doing it for longer than most countries have been in existence.

Defend them all you want but the facts are the facts I look at it like this they have a faction that is very radical and instead of dealing with they hide and even help the radicals in my book that makes them all radicals to some degree. What do they think of non believers? Do women have rights? is there religion war based? simple questions lets hear some simple answers until I hear a good explanation I view them as war mongering women hating radical nut jobs who can not live well in civilized society just look at what is happening in Europe they just do not want to fit in it is their choice and they are making it.

You have just exposed yourself as the ignorant hate monger that you are. That is literally the definition of IGNORANCE. "Until you hear answers, you'll continue to believe that", huh? How bout you don't judge Islam until you actually read the ENTIRE Quran for yourself, and then judge their faith.

Muslims don't care about non-believers.

YES women have rights. Lots of them. There's a whole chapter in the Quran dedicated to womens' rights, it's called "Women", and gives them lots of rights, especially after divorce or having a child.

No, the religion is not "war based". Islam is a religion of peace. Read the Quran. It shuns the agressors in any war, and only advocates self defense.

And PS... They don't hate women either. More lies from your ignorant mouth.

reply to post by seattletruth

You normally write a pretty good post and are generally very likeable, in my estimation

So let's take a look at what's happened here before this gets worse

You, like most of us, were probably raised to believe your religion/nation is the best one. That's what they do ... they get you when you're young. Not just you ... all of us, ok

Most of us grow up and see the negatives aspects of our religion and nation, but even so, we're all likely to feel it personally at some point and we amaze ourselves with how emotional we've become about something we'd believed we'd mastered, namely, the knee jerk response when our religion or nation or family is insulted or portrayed in poor light

I can remember when I wasn't even aware of the word 'muslim'. Then, when I did hear a bit about it, I put it in the category of 'other' religions, along with Buddhism, Hinduism, Jainism, etc.

As to Muslims, all I knew or cared was that they lived 'somewhere else' ... in their own land

Then we had the muslim invasion. I didn't ask for it, nor did anyone I know. It was arranged by come-and-go politicians. And the public wasn't happy about it. So then the politicans and their buddies the whore-media started lying about it and about how many they were 'letting in'. They downplayed the figure drastically for decades

Next we knew, women wearing table-cloth apparel were trudging through shopping malls. And aggressive, jaw-thrusting, tight-jeans wearing Muslim youths ....... always in GANGS ..... were taking over the town centres by day and dominating the highways by night. They picked fights. They made disgusting remarks about women ... total strangers to them ... in their own language (and yes, by then, many of us had learned what these disgusting noises meant). Shar mutto, for example. Want to translate that for the forum ? Bet you don't. And it is THE most common expression tossed around by GANGS of aggressive, groin-obessed muslim youths at little girls, teenage girls, married young mothers, even middle aged women minding their own business. It means 'hairy female orifice' doesn't it ? Nice huh ? That's how muslims raise their sons ? Not to be grateful for the chance to experience civilisation, but to insult the host nations women in the most foul manner

Next came the muslim intimidation tactics. First they'd bribe and threaten weak local authorities into paying for (with ratepayers and taxpayers money, the HOST's money) a school JUST for muslim children .. then a mosque AND a tower that completely dominated the local populations' suburban architecture

Then, muslims park their cars on the HOST populations' lawns and well-maintained nature-strips ... even across the HOSTS' driveways

Any of the HOST population who object are monstered by hulking, swearing, threatening muslim male GANGS. And later that night, there will be destruction of the person's car or garden or banging on the door followed by a bashing by a GANG of muslim males

Muslims don't like work, it seems. They like to live on the back of the HOST population

When muslims do get a job, it's amazing how MANY of them sue their employer for 'back injury' and live for free thereafter

And that's just your ordinary muslim migrant. That's considered by the HOST population to be 'typical' of muslims

Ok. There are some better and some worse. Those better are industrious and polite. Those worse are gang rapists who target the HOST populations' daughters, then rape those girls in packs and film it and send it to their friends as its happening

If the host population could get the politicians responsible for inflicting this growing muslim plague, they would skin them alive as a lesson to future politicians. The host nation does NOT want muslim migrants. Our message to politicians is this: ' You like them? Good, then YOU move to muslim nations instead of bringing them here'

And I have not mentioned one word about the Koran here ... although I do suggest you get online now and read Ayotollah Khomeini's Little Green Book .... all about how it's ok for muslim males to have sex with infants and animals, for example. If you can't find it, let me know and I'll post excerpts and links in this thread for you

You'll notice I haven't mentioned one word about Muslim heaven and the promised 74 virgins and the rest of the sex-obsessed nonsense. Last time I did (and I quoted DIRECT from the source) a Mod removed my post and censured me for posting 'FILTH and DEPRAVITY' ... yet I'd posted direct from the MUSLIM WEBSITE and provided the link ! So that's what the Mods think of it .. they think it's depraved filth so awful that they removed it. Yet it remains on the muslim website. Go figure

Anyway, hope I've shown you why muslims aren't popular in some quarters. It's not the world that has to adapt, it's you. Maybe if you stepped beyond what you've been TOLD to believe and defend, and looked at it from the non-muslim perspective, you'd realize why things are the way they are

Because, lets be honest here, you MAY be sick of people's opinions of muslims, but so what ? You're not going to change people's opinions. Only muslims can do that ... if they're interested in doing so. But it looks as if they'd prefer to just take over one suburb, one town, one city, one nation at a time, using that ever increasing muslim migrant army ... all teh while playing victim as they build yet another mosque, another muslim-only school, and forcing removal of Christmas trees and Christmas cards and Christmas pantomimes along the way

Ps: my feeling regarding muslims have not been influenced by 'American propaganda' one iota. I would swear to that on a Bible in court if necessary

I have posted long and hard against the US invasions of Iraq and Afghanistan and elsewhere and have been insulted, had points removed and paid the price for doing so, down the years. I would do it all again because it happens to be what I believe

No, my impressions of muslims are entirely attributable to muslim behaviours as I have personally observed them

Muslims are liked or disliked, in the overwhelming majority of cases, based on how muslims conduct themselves in civilian life. I know you most likely won't want to accept that, but it's the way it is

In fact, in the US, it appears they receive a better class of muslim migrant compared with those foisted on Australia and the UK and most of Europe

If you were to have your memory wiped for a day (so that you don't remember you're a muslim) and be allowed to observe the complete destruction of entire European societies and culture by ridiculous levels of muslim migrants, you would be saying what I and other are saying about muslims

The bottom line is that people have been killing each other over differences in beliefs for 2000 years and it will not stop EVER. I am an American and I don't care what anyone believes in or does not believe in. I just do not want anyones religion shoved down my throat and I certainly do not want to see people who are Muslim or Protestant or whatever blowing people up.

In Ireland the Catholic and Protestants have been killing each other for ever and kids have to be escorted to school over there so they are not attacked. In the Middle East you have Muslims blowing up Muslims?

None of this is new and it is not going away. Peace out.

I cannot see how anyone who worships any positive god figure can attempt to disrespect any other religion that is attempting to guide the souls to the same positive EXISTANCE. Me I live in America and was basically influenced by my parents with CHRISTIANITY. But as I grew I began to study all religions as best as 1 can and came to the conclusion that most if not all religions are sending the same message but in different languages. The message is to live as positive as you can and acknowledge your creator. So to me ISLAM is a good religion just as CHRISTIANITY.

Now, Rather Than Later: How to Foster Learning for a Business-Minded Child

Most businesspeople can recall the story of their first fascination with the corporate world. Perhaps it was a childhood interest in the company where one of their parents worked, an entrepreneurial spirit sparked by a neighbor’s lemonade stand or a reaction to a “career day” speaker.

My own first “venture” came at age 10. That’s when I realized I could resell Now & Later — a popular new candy at the time — at school for a higher price than stores charged.

$2.9m for Hot Coffee?

Seinfeld mocked it. Letterman ranked it in his top ten list. And more than fifteen years later, its infamy continues. Everyone knows the McDonald’s coffee case. It has been routinely cited as an example of how citizens have taken advantage of America’s legal system, but is that a fair rendition of the facts? Hot Coffee reveals what really happened to Stella Liebeck, the Albuquerque woman who spilled coffee on herself and sued McDonald’s, while exploring how and why the case garnered so much media attention, who funded the effort and to what end. After seeing this film, you will decide who really profited from spilling hot coffee.

Some books I read and some I chew on.
Chewy books are those where the thinking is so profound or ideas so counter intuitive that they are tough to digest.
Douglas Holt’s How brands become icons is a chewer.
Holt’s belief that brands achieve iconic status because they provide real identity value for consumers is pretty much received wisdom. However, the concept that they do this by resolving a fundamental contradiction between the expectations placed upon people by society and the reality of their day to day lives is a little more challenging. He does this with brands like Budweiser and VW which make loads of sense but it’s when you try to apply this to your own examples that things get interesting. Is Apple a run away success because of great products and great marketing or because the brand allows millions of people to feel they are part the creative economy when the reality of their lives is very different?
Add to that his challenge to the dreary dogma of relationship marketing and you have a book that messes with a lot of our assumptions about the way brands achieve and maintain iconic status.
One day this book will make it onto my bookshelf but for now its still in my bag close at hand for a daily chew.

'Pumped' Ads Execs Appear in Goofy Stock Photos For Cannes Lions 2014

In a hilarious promotion to the Cannes Lions Festival -- if that actually needs any promotion -- McCann London is out with a collection of faux stock photography shots featuring the likes of Barbarian Group's Benjamin Palmer, If We Ran the World's Cindy Gallop, Droga5 CCO Ted Royer and others.

The campaign aims to highlight the fact that attending the world's leading festival of creativity and being surrounded by the greatest creative work and people on the planet is a hugely valuable experience. It inspires delegates to return to work with renewed enthusiasm as if to push a reset button.

Of the campaign, Cannes Lions Director of Brand Strategy Senta Slingerland said, "Our campaign celebrates the one thing that everyone who goes to Cannes experiences: the feeling of falling in love again with what you do for a living."

Each execution features a stock image-style watermark with the legend: "Cannes Lions Festival. You'll come back as pumped as a stock photo model." The ads feature search terms like "Success," "Winning," "Inspired," "Energized," "Cannes," "Festival," and "Pumped."

Are you pumped yet?

Was ShrI Shankara a Vaishnava?

Sankaran Panchapagesan panchap at ICSL.UCLA.EDU
Wed Aug 11 15:25:47 CDT 1999

> I remember reading in one of Natalia Isayeva's book that there is a

> -Vivek.

I remember reading in Natalia Isayeva's book "Shankara and Indian
Philosophy", that one Paul Hacker (famous scholar?) had proposed that
Shankara was a Vaishnavite. But Isayeva herself rejects it because it
overlooks the tradition's view that Shankara was the author of devotional
poems on Shiva and Shakti. She also says that Paul Hacker probably
proposed it because of his own Christian bias, whose concept of a benign
God is close to Vishnu.

In the archives of Soc.Religion.Hindu, starting September 1996, there is a
big discussion on Shankara and Vaishnavism between Ramakrishnan and Mani
Varadarajan (who was claiming that Shankara was a Vaishnavite) and others.
This is at:

Start reading from Mani Varadarajan's post on the thread

Also read Ramakrishnan's post "Shankara and Vaishnavism" in the SRH
archives of October 1996:

They are very informative and will probably answer your questions.

Point well taken, but Kartik's point about translations is also
Christian theologies from various church denominations have different
opinions about the word faith and its role in human salvation. If I am
asked to talk about vedAnta to an audience in the US, I will definitely
be very careful about what words I use in English and in what context.
And given that communication often happens in the English language,
it is worth the extra effort to reiterate other dimensions of the
words too.

What about 2+2=4?  This is a proposition based on inference which is based
on inference which does not require the senses.

Science is the only major application of anumana that depends on
pratyaksha and its a very important one but others can be conceived.

[Advaita-l] No non- advaita schools before Shankara

"This shows that prior to Shankara there were no vedantic schools that were non-advaitic"

Namaste to all. I changed the heading of the thread.  You may be aware of the following verse near the end of Srimad Bhāgavatam also which many scholars date post Shankara:
Sarva-vedānta-sāram yat
Brahmātmaikatva-lakshanam ।
Vastv-advitīyam tan nishtham
Kaivalyaka prayojanam ।।
(Srimad Bhāgavatam 12.13.12)
We see in such a grantha of Bhakti yoga the above statement that the Bhāgavatam is the essence of all vedanta explaining the unity of brahman and ātman, and that the final teaching is non-dual.
If you take Bhāgavatam as written before Shankara then it supports Shankara's bhashya statement also.

Detection of Tospoviruses in Ornamental Plants in Hobby Gardens and Landscaping Areas in Adalar District of Istanbul Province

Fatma Şafak, Muharrem Arap Kamberoğlu

This study was conducted in order to detect Tomato spotted wilt virus (TSWV), Irish yellow spot virus (IYSV) and Impatients necrotic spot virus (INSV) in ornamental plants growing in hobby gardens and landscaping areas in Adalar district (Büyükada, Heybeliada, Kınalıada and Burgazada) of Istanbul province between 2015 and 2016. During the surveys carried out in that district, the samples were collected from both simptomatologically suspicious ornamental plants and the plants which did not show any symptoms. All of the collected samples (n=150) were firstly tested by Double Antibody Sandwich (DAS) ELISA and none of the samples were found to be infected with TSWV and INSV. The samples detected to be positive with IYSV by ELISA tests were then used in RT-PCR studies. At the RT-PCR using the IYSV-465c; IYSV-239f primer pair, a band with a size of 240 bp was observed for Pittosporum tobira and Hydrangea macrophylla. Therefore, the presence of IYSV infection in Adalar was also confirmed molecularly.

Scoliosis Message of Hope

A Message of Hope – Non Surgical Scoliosis Treatment

After a few minutes spent reviewing internet sites devoted to scoliosis, you might end up feeling rather depressed and overwhelmed by the mass of contradictory and unscientific information to be found. It is no small wonder that so many scoliosis surgeries take place every year – from what you read on the internet (which is really the largest library in the world!), it seems to be the only option.

One study entitled, “Surfing for Scoliosis: the quality of information available on the internet,” the authors came to the conclusion that, “The information about scoliosis and scoliosis treatment on the Internet is of limited quality and poor informational value.”

The only website which earned their praise was the official Web site of the Scoliosis Research Society; this website is, of course, heavily biased towards traditional approaches such as bracing & surgery. It should not surprise us that this study was conducted by the Department of Orthopedic Surgery at Downstate Medical Center in Brooklyn, New York.

However, the true effectiveness of the Harrington Rod surgery does not live up to the claims. Curves progress even in surgically treated patients; “Initial average loss of spinal correction post-surgery is 3.2 degrees in the first year and 6.5 after two years, with continued loss of 1.0 degree per year throughout life.” This is a mixed message, to say the least.

The best alternative scoliosis treatment available

This is why the Scoliosis Correction Center is excited to promote the teachings and philosophy of the CLEAR Institute: there is a non-surgical treatment for scoliosis, with no psychological or physical scarring, that achieves lasting, positive results! This is the best alternative scoliosis treatment available. It is this message of hope that defines who we are, even more so than the results we achieve.

If you or someone you know is suffering from the all-too-real side effects of scoliosis, please take a moment to review the information about scoliosis on this site. We update our site with new information as often as possible. Call today to schedule an appointment, and keep an open mind to the alternative types of treatment that we may suggest.

At the Scoliosis Correction Center, we understand that historical approaches to scoliosis have failed to achieve lasting results. You are probably frustrated about your past treatment options. Well, it is now time for action. Call (252-321-3579) or email for a consultation. One will be scheduled as soon as possible.

Bracing is ineffective

For more evidence that bracing is ineffective, let’s look to a study published on March 15, 1997, from the Ste. Justine Hospital in Quebec:

“Boston brace treatment produces complex trunk motions that tend to shift the spine and rib cage anteriorly [forward], with little derotation and lateral displacement to the left, whereas ideal correction would be the opposite [emphasis added].”

“A more optimal way to achieve trunk corrections could be made by applying loads laterally on the convex side and on the anterior thoracic [front of the chest] opposite the rib hump, with a system that constrains mechanically the posterior rib hump from moving backwards.”

This study, and others like it, led to the development of the Scoliosis Traction Chair that we use at the Scoliosis Correction Center and that the CLEAR Institute designed and patented in 2004. Why did it take seven years for someone to act on the idea that scoliosis could be corrected biomechanically? Maybe it’s because when all you have is a hammer (or scalpel), every problem looks like a nail (or patient in need of surgery!).

Comments from our lovely patients

“I found out from my family physician that I had scoliosis. I did some research online and found out that my choices were bracing or surgery. I’m pretty young and wasn’t ready to have major spinal surgery. I found the CLEAR-Institute website. I called and got information from them. They recommended Dr. Kean. After 3 months of scoliosis treatment therapies I have had a 17 % reduction in my scoliosis curve. I am currently treating there and look forward to seeing my improvement at my next re-exam. ~ Amy R.”

I have scoliosis. I had previously seen a few other chiropractors. I found Dr. Kean on the internet. He helped my condition. It has improved through treatment so well that I am back to my usual activities (swimming, school, and work). I have no more pain when carrying out everyday activities. My words of encouragement are: Chiropractic Works! ~ Lindsey A.

Science is involved in chiropractic

It’s time to take a new look, from a fresh perspective. The training we have received at the CLEAR Institute has given us a unique understanding of the mechanics and physics involved in the spine that many other healthcare practitioners, and unfortunately even many other chiropractors do not.

Please do not make the mistake of assuming that, simply because your family doctor is unaware of alternatives, they do not exist, or they are unscientific. You might be surprised by how much science is involved in chiropractic.

By the way, the above study was compiled and performed by the Department of Mechanical Engineering. When it comes to scoliosis, physicists are closer to hitting the mark than the physicians designing these braces!

AHIMA's Advocacy and Policy Efforts

AHIMA has created a model Patient Request for Health Information form to help providers streamline the process when patients request their protected health information (PHI) under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) and comply with the timeframe and fees set out by the Office for Civil Rights’ (OCR) guidance of 2016.

HIPAA requires covered entities (health plans and most healthcare providers) to provide patients, upon request, access to their protected health information (PHI) maintained by or for the covered entity. Patients have the right to inspect or obtain a copy, or both, of the PHI, as well as to direct the covered entity to transmit a copy to a designated person or entity.

For those involved in release of information (ROI), a lack of consistency in the forms accompanying these requests can make it difficult to determine whether they should be approved or denied. This free form provides a standardized mechanism, written in plain language, that can be easily read and understood by patients and may be customized by providers and organizations to capture the data you need as well as organizational contact information.

The second page of the form explains how to use it and contains information and links to related HIPAA requirements and resources, including the OCR guidance.

Download the model form

Patient education and access to information are two significant focuses of AHIMA’s policy and advocacy work. To accurately tell a patient’s story, we need to start with the correct identification of the patient. But as electronic health records become more common, incorrect patient matching becomes a greater risk and a potential cause of costly or even dangerous mistakes. AHIMA believes a public-private collaboration on a national voluntary patient safety identifier is the solution to the problem of patient matching. Work on this issue is core to our work toward the betterment of patient safety and access to health information.

In March, AHIMA launched the MyHealthID campaign and a petition asking the White House to lift the federal budget ban that prohibits the US Department of Health and Human Services from participating in efforts to find a patient identification solution. Through media attention, in-person meetings with legislators, and new partners gained during the petition effort, AHIMA laid the groundwork for progress with Congress — a must for making this change.

You can learn more about patient matching in articles in the Journal of AHIMA and Perspectives in Health Information Management.

The 2010 Jewish Guinness World Records

The 2010 Jewish Guinness World Records

Raise your glass of Guiness, and make a L’chaim to this year’s Jewish record holders.

We Jews are nothing if not achievers. Show us a mountain and we’ll climb, a sky, we’ll dive, a “bungee,” we’ll jump, a – Wait! Am I meshugge? Show us a dreidel, we’ll spin it, a matzo ball, we’ll fatten it, hummus, we’ll spread it over a satellite dish – that’s better! True, there are MOTs who fling and fly, but the vast majority of Jewish Record setters this past year have preferred safer, decidedly more savory and charitable endeavors!

Yes our people set records this year, and no they’re not just for accounting.

Some were noble pursuits performed by groups and countries for tzedakah. Others were a bissel odd. But all are a testament to the mighty spirit of the MOT (Member of the Tribe)! So, as we wave farewell to the secular year 2010, let’s look at six that made an indelible mark in that Macher of Mavinhood, the Guinness Book of World Records.

Nes Gadol Haya Sham! “A Great Miracle Happened There.”

All they wanted for Hanukkah was a Guinness title, and it looks as though they’ve “spun” their way into it, and some scholarship gelt to boot! On November 30, the dream of two Yeshiva University students was realized when they, along with 616 other Y.U. students, alumni, faculty, staff, neighbors and friends, filled the Max Stern Athletic Center in Manhattan the night before Hanukkah to break the Guinness World Record for most dreidels spun simultaneously. The previous record of 541 was set at Temple Emanuel in Cherry Hill, N.J. in 2005.

This event, termed “DreidelPalooza,” was organized by Students Helping Students, which raises money for scholarships. As over 70% of the Y.U. student body receive some sort of financial aid, the group not only twirled their way into the record book, they raised awareness, pride, and much needed gelt to further Jewish education!

The tension was high in Tel Aviv’s Rabin Square last October 21, as Israeli Chess champion, Alik Gershon, 30, set out to play the most simultaneous opponents at Chess. In order to set a new Guinness World Record, Gershon would have to take on more than 500 simultaneous opponents and win at least 80 percent of the matches to beat the record set in Iran in 2009. If you think his opponents were a bunch of bubbies, Gershon's opponents were ranked by the Israel Chess Federation, as per the requirements of the auspicious Guinness. Most were immigrants from the former Soviet Union. Gershon himself, is a native of Dnepropetrovsk, Ukraine, who immigrated to Israel in 1990.

The event was sponsored by the Jewish Agency and the Israel Chess Federation to mark the 20th anniversary of the mass aliyah from the former Soviet Union. Jewish Agency Chairman Natan Sharansky kicked things off, by squaring off against Gershon at the start of the event which attracted many other public figures among the spectators.

The formalities started at 11.30 am, and by 6 am the next morning, Gershon handily beat the record taking on 523 simultaneous opponents, and winning 86% of the games played!

You Call This a Matzo Ball?

At almost 500 pounds, maybe a matzo boulder! No, it wasn’t some “natural” formation that Hashem bestowed upon Boomer Jews who have flocked to the desert (this one in Arizona). It was created by Chef Jon Wirtis of Shlomo and Vito’s restaurant in Tucson this past November for the Third Annual Jewish Food Festival. The feat required 125 pounds of matzo meal, 25 pounds of schmaltz, over 1,000 eggs, and a six-foot high, six-foot wide pot, to create the mega matzo ball, which at 488 pounds, is a new World Record, solidly beating the old one of 267 pounds set a year earlier by Noah’s Ark Deli in New York City.

The biggest challenge was insuring the ingredients would hold together, so Chef Jon, relying upon his bubbie’s recipe (with a few upward modifications), added 20 pounds of potato starch, and covered the monster matzo ball in heavy cheese cloth during boiling.

And what of the soup?? It took 320 chickens, 80 pounds of carrots, 40 pounds of celery, 40 pounds of onions and a 1,500 pound kettle! As for what to put the leftovers in? Personally, I’m bringing a ladle, a boat load of mandlen, and heading for Hoover Dam.

Proceeds from admission tickets went to the Community Food Bank, to ensure holiday meals for everyone.

“Battle Hummus” Rages Toward Peaceful Settlement?

In my continuing coverage of the Great Hummus Wars here, we left off with Lebanon grabbing the honors last October. Good news, pro-Israeli hummus fans! A mere three months later, in January of 2010, the Israelis came back to reclaim their rightful place in Hummus history. Jawdat Ibrahim, an Israeli-Arab, who is a 17.5 million-dollar U.S. lottery winner, and restaurateur was behind this successful attempt to wrest the prize from Lebanon in the Israeli Arab town of Abu Ghosh. Their record-breaking hummus weighed over 9,000 pounds (and was served on a satellite dish)! The struggle was described by Israel's Army radio as the Third Lebanon War. But Ibrahim, who awards scholarships to both Arab and Jewish university students and hosts informal peace talks between Israeli and Palestinian Authority leaders at his Abu Ghosh eatery, may approach the Lebanese to suggest a joint Israeli-Lebanese effort to create the Ultimate Hummus! Can the road to peace be paved with chick peas?? Stay tuned, mamalas!

IDF Prepares Jewish Aussie to Muscle in On New Guinness Record!

His name? Jarryd Rubinstein. His Game? “Muscle-ups.” Farshay? As far as I can gather, a muscle-up is a combination chin-up and dip, where the upper body is raised above a bar to the point at which the arms can be straightened. Does that help you? (Me neither.) But 26-year-old Rubinstein, now an Australian, who served in an elite unit of the Israel Defense Forces, recently registered 25 Muscle-ups, beating the previous record of 15, and is in the process of being formally recognized by Guinness as the world record holder. In addition to meeting Guinness requirements (two witnesses, including a certified trainer, photos and video), Rubinstein put his feat on YouTube with a challenge to all comers. It has received around 300,000 hits! The closest anyone came to beating him was a fellow in New York who did 20.

Twenty is “typical” for Rubinstein, who credits his three years with the IDF for his super strength. The 143 pound muscle man, who trains at Bondi Beach, spent three years in the elite Sayeret Golani counter-terror unit preventing hundreds of casualties in operations against Palestinian terrorists in Gaza and Nablus.

He kept up the training when he returned to Australia in 2008. When he’s not working in wealth management, he’s often seen performing his muscle-ups in the exercise area near North Bondi Surf Club.

Muscles up, dude!

The Record-Breaking Record Breaker: Ashrita Furman

Arguably one of the world’s finest (and well-rounded) athletes, health food store manager, Ashrita Furman, born Keith Furman in Queens, New York, is the world’s primo world record breaker and holder! This past November 18, he received his 122nd Guinness nod, bestowed in London by the editor. It read: Most Records Currently Held by an Individual!

A wimp in High School, Furman, in 1979 at age 25, set his first official record by doing 27,000 jumping jacks. In 1986, he invented, then set the record for underwater pogo stick jumping which he introduced on Good Morning America on April Fool’s Day. That same year, he performed what may have been his most daunting tasks: setting records at historic landmarks which included doing forward rolls along the 12 ¼ mile route of Paul Revere's Ride, and jumping 11 ½ miles up and down the foothills of Mount Fuji on a pogo stick!

Middle age hasn’t slowed Furman’s quest for the best. In 2010, in addition to his record-setting honor, the Brooklyn born maven, who’s motive has been to inspire others to “connect with their own indomitable inner strength,” has set about 40 new records. These include: pea, coin, and stamp blowing distance, Hula Hoop spinning, grape catching by mouth, orange, lemon, and pickled egg eating, apple bobbing, golf ball bouncing (on a golf club), egg cracking, balancing, and catching, duct-taping (himself to a wall), underwater juggling, spitting (all kinds).

And so, Furman, along with the other MOTs in our group, through valiant effort, unparalleled persistence, and unmatched creativity, have once again, in 2010 earned a place in the Guinness Record book, and added a colorful, if odd, stitch to the fabric of our Jewish History!

Mazel Tov to all!

Hospital Hunger

70 year old Sidney opens his eyes and sees a lovely lady in white staring at him. "Where am I?" he says.

"You're in the Sinai hospital, Mr. Green," she replies. "You had a nasty car crash four days ago and you've been unconscious ever since you were brought in. But don't worry about anything – you're in a great hospital and we've got the best doctor looking after you."

"Four days, eh?" says Sidney, "it's no wonder I'm so hungry. Can you bring me a hot salt beef sandwich on rye with mustard and a cucumber with some latkes on the side."

"I'm sorry, your doctor has instructed me not to feed you with any solids," says the nurse. "You're being fed through an intravenous. Do you see that large tube down there? If you follow it, that's your food supply."

"Well then," says Sidney, "If this really is the best hospital with the best equipment, please bring me two more tubes tomorrow. Then I would very much like to invite you and my doctor to join me for lunch."
