Zionism began as a political movement with a pronounced emphasis on socialism. But it was nationalistic, too; this sectarian flaw undermined its leftist commitment to equality & internationalism, also the strong Jewish tradition of justice.

Hence the political & financial hijacking of Zionism by the very rich minority of super-rich Jews in the West. Zionism became a right-wing, ultra-nationalistic movement. The Palestinians were its first & most prominent victims, but globally, many others have suffered under Zionism & its AIPAC vehicle. Zionism is now a powerful engine of anti-Democratic, world corporatism.

But please note: many Jews are NOT Zionists, but fighting opponents, inside & outside Israel. They remain committed to the visceral Jewish love of fairness & justice. Their enemies are the Zionists, bent on global rule by an obscenely rich 'elite' of supra-national oligarchs, bankers & else. To fall for the blind hatred of 'Jews' is to become the mirror-image of the Zionists - very much what these evil power benders want.

Low E, What is it ?
Windows and doors may have Low-E glass.


Low emissivity (Low E) - actually low thermal emissivity - 
is a quality of a surface that radiates, or emits, low levels of radiant thermal (heat) energy. All materials absorb, reflect and emit radiant energy. 
This article is primarily about material properties within a special wavelength interval of radiant energy - namely thermal radiation of materials with temperatures approximately in the interval -40..60°C. 

Emissivity is the value given to materials based on the ratio of heat emitted compared to a blackbody, on a scale of 0 to 1. A blackbody would have an emissivity of 1 and a perfect (White, Silver) reflector would have a value of 0. 

Window glass is by nature highly thermal emissivity of 0.9 (That is bad news). 
There few ways to improve thermal efficiency, 

Here are three ways to apply LOW E
Method 1...A thin film coatings are applied to the raw soda-lime glass. 
Method 2. A typical double-glazed window with a high-solar gain low-E is filled with argon gas 
Method 3. Method one plus method two.

Determining left and right hand doors

When buying a new pre-hung door (door is hung in the jamb) 
Often a question raised "do I need a left or a right hand door ?"

Look at the door that you are going to replace, Open the door towards you.
If the handle is on the right, it's a right hand door ans vice versa.

If you're buying a new pre-hung door to an opening in the wall without a door,
Stand on the side you want the door to open to, open it in your mind and see where the handle would be.

Buying the handle, Most handles are reversible but some are not.
Read the label on the package carefully and make sure you're buying the correct handling.

Interesting Obituary
In 1887 Alexander Tyler, a Scottish history professor at the
University of Edinburgh , had this to say about the fall of the Athenian Republic 

Athenian Republic some 2,000 years prior: "A democracy is always Temporary in nature; it simply cannot exist as a permanent Form of government. A democracy will continue to exist up until The time that voters discover that they can vote themselves generous Gifts from the public treasury. From that moment on, the majority Always vote for the candidates who promise the most benefits from The public treasury, with the result that every democracy will finally
Collapse over loose fiscal policy, (which is) always followed by a Dictatorship."

"The average age of the world's greatest civilizations from the Beginning of history, has been about 200 years. During those 200 Years, these nations always progressed through the following sequence:

From bondage to spiritual faith;
From spiritual faith to great courage;
From courage to liberty;
From liberty to abundance;
From abundance to complacency;
From complacency to apathy;
From apathy to dependence;
From dependence back into bondage."

The Obituary follows:
"United States of America", Born 1776, Died 2016 It doesn't hurt to read this several times. Professor Joseph Olson of Hamline University School of Law in St. Paul, Minnesota, points out some interesting facts concerning
The last Presidential election:
Number of States won by:
Obama: 19 Romney: 29

Square miles of land won by:

Obama : 80,000 Romney: 2,427,000
Population of counties won by: Obama: 127 million Romney: 143 million

Murder rate per 100,000 residents in counties won by: Obama: 13.2 Romney: 2.1

Professor Olson adds: "In aggregate, the map of the territory Romney won was mostly the land owned by the taxpaying citizens of the country. Obama territory mostly encompassed those citizens living in low Income tenements and living off various forms of government Welfare..."

Olson believes the United States is now somewhere between the "complacency and apathy" phase of Professor Tyler's definition of Democracy, with some forty percent of the nation's population Already having reached the governmental dependency" phase..
If Congress grants amnesty and citizenship to twenty million
Criminal invaders called illegal’s - and they vote - then we can say Goodbye to the USA in fewer than five years .

If you are in favor of this, then by all means, delete this message.
If you are not, then pass this along to help everyone realize just how
Much is at stake, knowing that apathy is the greatest danger to our Freedom..

Refurbishing stairway and trim work By Shapira Builders

Refurbishing stairway and trim work 

By Shapira Builders

This job was done in Manhattan. 
A general contractor hired me to finish this stairway.

When I came to job site I found that a wall that was going around the stairway was cut back 

Six steps up from the bottom had no drywall around and the two by four framing was exposed.

The original wall was floor to ceiling.

The treads were unfinished, missing the wood nosing
I had to modify the framing for the drywall.

second step was bending and hanging three layers of 1/4" thick drywall AKA sheet rock.
I had to water the drywall sheets, that made bending easy.

Baseboard and trim was soaked with water, bent and cut to fit.
The wet wood tend to shrink as it drys, so I cut it extra long.

I made the wood nosing and installed. 

The hand rail was installed at last.

Painting, staining and tile work was done by another contractor.

Thank for reading
