The Inaugural 1st Edition of J Pix the Photocarnival is coming up...

After speaking to Muse over at Me-ander and Shiloh Musings, the thought struck me just how many Jewish Bloggers are great Photographers. Now I'm a great fan of Haveil Havalim and this is not designed to distract from that great carnival, but the simple truth is there is no Pictorial themed carnival in the Jewish Blogging world.

All these photos are Taken by JBloggers, we're a talented lot.
[Credits were skipped, so as people may guess who took each of these]

Some that Jump to Mind are:
Muse from

Me-ander of course
ASJ from ASimpleJew
Sara with No H [She has just moved to California!]

Sarah from where else but ~Sarah's View~
Mottel from Letters of Thought
Evan from Planet Israel
Rafi G from Life in Israel has be known to take the odd Photo
Cosmic X in Jerusalem is a man with many Talents

Now I'm going to make a point of inviting these folks.

If you like to take photos and feature them on your blog,
then submit a post for the upcoming carnival.

If you know of some one who is a Photograph Blogger then let them know.

Now make sure your name is one of those
included in the first inaugural JPix carnival.

Muse the 'Princess of Photos' was saying it would be great
to have a JPhotocarnival, well Check out the new JPix Carnival coming up.

A carnival especially for all those Jewish Blog Photographers and 'Artiste' out there.

News Just In:...What a Heartbreaker! Shahar Peer Beaten 8-6 in tie breaker! ..So Close!

The Australian Open -
One of Four tournaments designated as a 'Grand Slam' event.
Unbelievable! Beaten by a tie break point.

She won the first set, fought for the second,
and looked like winning the third,
until a change of luck went Serena Williams way. Shahar Peer is only Nineteen,
we will see many more achievements from her.
Mazal Tov to Shahar Peer for a superb effort,

An Apple a day helps keep Muqtada al -Sadr away

Iran wants Nuclear Weapons, this Cleric's breath could be far deadly

It seems that our Iraqi Friend Muqtada al -Sadr has been busy not only keeping himself away from the dentist chair but sticky his porky fingers in places he shouldn't be. Some attribute him as being a major factor in the sectarian unrest that is plaguing Iraq. His well known Anti American stance has caused many causalities in Iraq.

Finally after years of Pseudo protection the Iraqi Government appears to have stopped protecting the Shiite militant.

In a desperate bid to stop an all out American offensive he has withdrawn a two month boycott of the Government.

His supporters include 30 law makers and 6 cabinet ministers under his control, which are now back at their Jobs Sunday.

Clearly this man acts only out of his own megalomaniacal self interests, he dreams of a an Iraq under Sharia law.

At times he has openly encouraged rebellion against the 'invaders' and Iraqi police. Due to his Shia background and that his political followers include a large active militia, and 30 MP's and a handful of ministers in the American-backed government, confronting him has been a very tall task.

As predicted fatalities have began increasing in Iraq, this should come as no surprise to any one, those desperate to maintain their tyrannical holds are doing every thing they ca to inflame sectarian violence and cause US casualties.

The truth be known this Shia Cleric has been trouble all along. The quicker he is dealt with the better.

The upside is, when he is finally captured, he may just get that desperately needed dental appointment.

Right: When asked how many times he had brushed his teeth in his life he simply gestured 1, we figured this must be a pending appointment.

If cleanliness is next to G_dliness what's toothlessness?

Mr Bagel dares to be Brave

Its been a long time, but I'm going to do it, I have a fear about it.

Its one of those things that could become utterly uncontrollable.

I've looked at the pros and cons and I can't see a way of not doing it.

I'm scared what if? ..I could be away for a day.

I could get into an accident and forget my identity?

I could have a senile dementia episode and forget my password.

There's literally thousands of things that could go seriously wrong from this.

Do I dare? Will they be kind?

Or will they be horrible, nasty vengeful and attack Mr Bagel
trying to make him feel crummy, stale, moldy or worse unwanted?

I've turned comment moderation off, be nice.

Mr Bagel
