By Rabbi Stacey Blank
If you happened to read my last post reflecting on the rocket attack on Israel, I ended with a question: What can I do?
I was happy to receive a call from the Israeli Reform Movement who wanted to organize a group to go down to Ashkelon, which is located 10 kilometers (6 miles) from Gaza and 105 grad rockets were launched on the city and 13 caused damage to buildings, homes, and schools over two weeks of escalation between Hamas and Israel in November. We were asked to lead activities for students at a middle school as a way of easing their transition back into school. Many students suffered from shock and trauma and it was difficult for them to resume normal studies. I jumped at the opportunity and happily added to my car for the hour and twenty minute ride down from Jerusalem an Israeli rabbinical student, a young worker in the Reform movement headquarters, and the director of the Reform kindergartens. Our plan was to lead activities about Chanukah, since that fun holiday is just around the corner.
Driving through Ashkelon, which has some lovely parts and is by the sea, I didn't see any signs of damage. It felt like a normal, beautiful sunny day in the land of Israel. At the school, we met more people from the Israeli Reform Movement headquarters and six 18-year-old participants in the movement's Pre-Army program from Jaffa. The energetic principal of the huge school (seven classes of at least 30 kids in each grade!) greeted us with a smile and was clearly organized for our visit – for me, already a sign that they wanted us to be there and made this a priority. She repeated the request that had been sent out in the email: Please do fun activities and nothing too serious or requiring too much deep thought. These kids need respite.
I entered first a seventh grade classroom, armed with about five different activities depending on how things would go. Discipline is generally an issue in Israeli schools, and I was happy to see a teacher there to assist. I divided the class into two groups and we had a "contest" answering trivia questions about Chanukah, and then we had a "sing down" of different Chanukah songs (there are more Israeli Chanukah songs than for any other holiday!). They got really into it, and they even learned new things about the holiday. From there, I went to a 9th grade class that was much smaller (Only afterwards, the teacher said, "Maybe I should have mentioned before you started that this is a class of kids with learning disabilities"). We started the trivia, but emotions ran high among some girls. So, I switched to a more serious topic – but optimistic! – sharing some Jewish sources about the value in Chanukah of light – our need for light, the inner light that resides in each and every one, and the teachings in Judaism that instruct us to bring that light to the world. The students spoke about making peace, there should be no more war, being loving people, and how we can be supportive to each other. I ended the day with an 8th grade class. What can I say – it was the end of the day and the 13-year-old hormones were raging! We also did the trivia game and as the time ran out, I was proud of myself that I managed to pull the class together (better than the teacher was doing, I am sad to say) and leave them also with the message of the special light that each of them has inside of them.
The amusing part of the day – each class was fascinated with my foreign name and my accent (all the kids I met were native Israelis except one girl who was excited to tell me after the class that she was born in Canada). So at the start of each activity, I had to explain my origin and framed it to them in a joking way: You guys are the real tzabars (natives), and I am the real Zionist!
The fascinating part of the day – This was Israel. In each classroom, there were white Ashkenazic kids, dark kids of North African descent, Russians, Ethiopians, some boys with kipot, some boys with earrings. This was Israel's melting pot/salad. There was youthful enthusiasm, joking and laughing, singing, alongside hormones and teenage spats. But our common conversation – in this secular public school – was around our holiday, Chanukah and there was a place and a message for all. And despite the shouting, the emotions, and all the antics of this age, I really did feel the love and appreciation from the kids and staff.
We never spoke about the rockets, not with the kids and not with the teachers. On the one hand, I was so focused on my mission. But also, it wasn't what I came there for. We came there to smile, laugh, be a part of the Jewish People, and to move on together.

It is learning to appreciate the little things, stopping to smell the roses and accepting the misunderstood.

Philip Hammond plays down suggestions of UK frontline role in Libya
British warplanes and battleships could be deployed to counter Islamic State (IS) in Libya although frontline fighting is not expected for UK troops , Philip Hammond has said.
The Foreign Secretary said it is "quite possible" the fledgling government of national accord (GNA) would request air and naval support to combat IS, also referred to as Daesh, as it will not be able to develop its own forces of this nature.
Mr Hammond added no request or talks on such a military deployment have taken place but he said the UK would consider the idea if it is proposed and indicated MPs would be allowed a vote.
Mr Hammond is due to make a statement amid speculation UK forces could be deployed
His refusal to rule out air and naval operations in the region came after he insisted there is "no appetite" in Libya for foreign combat troops on the ground.
Mr Hammond said the UK is willing to send troops to help train and support the GNA's forces, adding: " We do not anticipate any requests from the GNA for ground combat forces to take on Daesh or any other armed groups and we have no plans to deploy troops in such a role.
"I will of course keep the House informed of any plans we develop in the future in response to requests from the Libyan government.
"But the type of mission that we currently envisage would be focused on providing training and technical support away from any frontline operations."
Labour MP Mike Gapes (Ilford South) later told Mr Hammond: "You said that there's no appetite in Libya for foreign combat troops on the ground.
"Is there any appetite in the Libyan political system for foreign air forces or foreign naval forces operating in Libyan territorial waters?"
Mr Hammond replied: "I think we've seen on the latter point already a clear wariness of any suggestion of foreign naval forces operating in Libyan territorial waters even if the focus is counter-migration rather than counter-Daesh.
"I can't rule out, and it would be wrong to rule out, any future request for air or naval support to a counter-Daesh operation.
"I can envisage prime minister (Fayez) Sarraj, if his government is successful, being able to muster enough ground forces to mount an attack on the Daesh stronghold around Sirte.
"Sirte is a coastal port, of course, and it's certainly the case that the Libyans will not be able to develop either naval or air assets in any reasonable period of time to support such an operation.
"Indeed, it is quite possible that from a military point of view they would seek assistance from outside.
"Now, prime minister Sarraj would have to balance that military imperative with the political issues that would arise if he were to request foreign assistance.
"There has been no such request, no discussion of such a request, but if it comes we will consider it and if we think that the UK should participate in such action we will come to the House and allow the House to express an opinion through a vote."
Mr Hammond made a statement to the House of Commons after visiting the troubled North African state in a show of support for prime minister-designate Sarraj's administration on Monday.
Tory chairman of the Foreign Affairs Committee Crispin Blunt (Reigate) stressed the importance of carrying the House in any decision making on Libya.
He said: "A coherent British contribution will be easier with the consent and understanding of this House, it might need to include for example air strikes on Daesh targets, as well as the training mission he has alluded to and I would counsel him that he's dancing on pretty thin ground with this differentiation between a training mission into a combat zone and not seeking to carry this House with him."
Mr Hammond responded: "Any proposal to carry out air strikes in support of a counter-Daesh operation absolutely would trigger the convention that the Government would come to the House, consult the House and allow a vote by which the House could express its view on the proposed intervention."
He said he understood Mr Blunt's concern that the lines between what is a combat mission and what is a training mission "could be blurred", adding: "But we are very clear that we can make that distinction."
Mr Hammond said there was a "big difference" between training and advising troops and getting engaged in combat activities, adding: "The Government is extremely mindful of that distinction and of the obligations it's entered into in respect of consulting the House."
Responding to questions from backbenchers, Mr Hammond said he envisaged any training force to be between "tens and hundreds of trainers" rather than thousands.
Any mission is unlikely to focus on "hard" training of infantry troops initially but instead on military command structures through a civilian-led defence ministry - advice that could be given from Whitehall, he said.
The Foreign Secretary also indicated that police and ex-military contractors could carry out some or even all of the training rather than serving forces personnel.
"There's been a kind of assumption across the House that any training we give would have to be given by UK military personnel," Mr Hammond said.
"Some of the training that's needed will be police training...
"It's also quite possible that some of the training, perhaps all of the training, will be delivered by contractors, often ex-military personnel working for contractors rather than current serving military personnel."
Mr Hammond stressed that the only way of stabilising Libya is to co-opt the different militias which sprung up after the fall of Muammar Gaddafi in 2011.
He insisted that many of those armed groups are not extremists but instead local defence forces who were protecting the local population.
The Foreign Secretary said: "It's not possible to talk about raising a new Libyan armed forces that will then take on all these militias, that would be a completely unrealistic project.
"The only way forward is to co-opt militias into a nascent Libyan armed forces backed by a political system which is highly devolved and assures them of the autonomy and the fair shares of Libya's wealth for the communities that they are seeking to back."
Mr Hammond was asked by Labour's Daniel Zeichner to rule out any Libyan troops being trained in Cambridgeshire, following a series of sex attacks by trainees in his Cambridge constituency in 2014.
The group were part of a Libyan unit undergoing training at Bassingbourn Barracks as part of an agreement by the Government to help the country after the 2011 collapse of Gaddafi's regime.
Mr Hammond said he could not give any further information about where a training programme could be located as no request had yet been made by the Libyan government but insisted it would probably be a "very different operation in very different circumstances."
Mr Zeichner had asked: "You will recall the unhappy saga in 2014 when some 2,000 Libyan personnel were trained at the Bassingbourn barracks in Cambridgeshire, that ended very badly with a series of violent sexual assaults in my city of Cambridge when they were left out unsupervised.
"Can you reassure residents in Cambridge there will be no further training of Libyan personnel in Cambridgeshire?"
Mr Hammond replied: "This would be I think a very different operation in very different circumstances.
"There are no plans yet, there is no request, so I'm afraid I can't give the House any further information about what such a training programme might look like or where it would be conducted but I can give you the assurance that the lessons of what happened at Bassingbourn have been taken on board by the Ministry of Defence and will be properly factored in to any future plan."
SNP Stephen Gethins (North East Fife) argued Libya had been an "unmitigated disaster for this Government, where we even have a sitting president criticising a sitting UK Prime Minister".
Mr Hammond: "It's very easy to sit over there hurling stones, the world I'm afraid is not a neat and tidy place and we have to deal with the situations that present themselves."
Tory John Baron (Basildon and Billericay) echoed Mr Gethins's point and asked what lessons could be learned.
He said: "There can be no doubt that our intervention in Libya in 2011 as some in this House suggested has been an unmitigated disaster resulting in many thousands of casualties and more, the establishment of Daesh and basically a vicious civil war."
Mr Hammond replied: "I would very much take issue with him."
The situation in Libya in 2011 he said was very difficult and messy but there was a need to be positive about Libya regaining stability.
On Daesh, he said there were "probably up to about 3,000 Daesh fighters in Libya of whom a significant number would be foreign fighters".
Labour chairman of the Home Affairs Committee Keith Vaz (Leicester East) said he was "disappointed" more had not been offered to deal with the migration crisis with an 80% increase in crossings between Libya and Italy.
He said: "What we need is permission to enter Libyan coastal waters in order to stop the people traffickers."
Mr Hammond said Mr Vaz was approaching the issue in "exactly the wrong way".
He said: "I think we've got to be acutely sensitive to the concerns in Libya about foreigners....I think the truth is we've got to balance this very carefully and get a package which works for the Libyans as well as for the European agenda."

Hey folks, going to get rid of my tw home telepone, and want to port the number to a cell phone? Any guidance and experience, I don't want to cancel the service and lose the number before it ported... any how thanks in advance for any info.
Solved! Go to Solution.
You are correct, if you cancel first, the number can be lost. You want to contact the new provider and you will need to prove you own the number, usually with a copy of a bill. You start the process and the new provider will contact us to initiate the port. Once the port is complete, you can contact our billing team or visit a TWC store to ensure the phone charges are off the account. Please let us know if there are any additional questions.

The Canadian parliament has begun debate on a no-confidence motion expected to topple the Conservative minority government.
Liberal Party leader Michael Ignatieff said Prime Minister Stephen Harper's government "breaks the rules" and "does not deserve to remain in office".
If the motion passes on Friday, it will trigger an election in early May.
The vote stems from a ruling on Monday that the Conservative government was in contempt of parliament.
A parliamentary committee judged that Mr Harper's government had acted in contempt by failing to disclose the full costs of spending on programmes involving tougher crime legislation, corporate tax cuts and plans to purchase stealth fighter jets.
'Facts concealed'

"The House must speak with a clear voice and it must say that a government that breaks the rules and conceals the facts from the Canadian people does not deserve to remain in office," Mr Ignatieff said.
Conservative House of Commons leader John Baird spoke on behalf of the Conservative Party ahead of the confidence vote.
"I'm saddened that a Parliament which has accomplished a lot recently will come to an end because of the reckless actions of the [opposition]... in forcing an unwanted and unnecessary election on Canadians," he told legislators.
With four parties holding seats in the House of Commons - the New Democrats (NDP) and the Bloc Quebecois in addition to the Liberals and Conservatives - it is difficult for a single party to gain a majority.
The Conservatives came to power in 2006 but need opposition support in order to pass any legislation.

5 Things that will happen if WWE buy TNA
TNA wrestling has been around since 2002, following the death of WCW and was started by Jeff and Jerry Jarrett. Since its inception, TNA has tried to be WWE lite and has failed repeatedly, often giving up on what made them successful like the X-Division and the Knockout's division to focus on wrestlers let go by the WWE.
Rumours of TNA's problems began since Spike TV refused to renew their contract at the end of 2014 causing them to move to Destination American, which effectively halved their viewership. TNA moved to Pop TV at the beginning of 2016 which hurt their viewer base even more.
Rumours of TNA's dire financial situation have been floating around all year and reports that WWE want to buy TNA and their tape library surfaced early September. Will the sale go through? We don't know for sure but there were rumours of renewed talks between Billy Corgan and WWE that surfaced last week. This, along with the rumours that TNA almost didn't have the money to go through with the Bound For Glory show, just add strength to the sale rumours.
With the possibility of WWE buying TNA getting stronger, let's take a look at what could happen if WWE buys TNA outright (and not just the tape library).
5: TNA gets shut down
The first thing WWE will do after purchasing TNA is the obvious – they'll shut TNA down as fast as they can. No, they won't continue with TNA as a separate brand and showcase it on the Network. WWE will have the option to bring in some of TNA's talent but there is no chance of them keeping TNA alive when they already have NXT which is one of the hottest products in professional wrestling right now.
If WWE buys TNA, we will have another promotion out of business and gobbled up by the WWE juggernaut. It will mean one less place for upcoming wrestlers to go to look for more mainstream exposure. This purchase would be great for WWE but terrible for the wrestling industry as a whole. After all, TNA were the second biggest promotion in the United States less than a decade ago.

"The love of nature is a common language that can transcend political and social borders"
-Jimmy Carter
Tanzania's unique and internationally significant Protected Area Network is under pressure from the illegal harvesting of natural resources. Commercial poaching for ivory and bush-meat, the extraction of charcoal, and hardwood black markets are at levels that threaten the existence of some of the last untamed wildernesses of East Africa.
The Friedkin Conservation Fund (FCF) was created to preserve one of Tanzania's last unspoiled natural areas and its diverse wildlife population. FCF has taken on the responsibility of preserving over 3.2 million acres of protected wildlife areas that are crucial to the greater Serengeti ecosystem's survival. Equally important as protecting and saving these last waste plains of wilderness is ensuring that communities living along these unfenced borders benefit from an active and committed wildlife conservation plan.
FCF has therefore defined three pillars of focus:
-Wildlife Conservation and Anti-Poaching
-Scientific Research and Monitoring
FCF works closely with the Tanzanian Government and local communities and is dedicated to achieving the best possible results for the country, its people and the environment.

It's been a while since I've studied linear algebra, and I wanted to follow up on something I read on MathOverflow.
In this answer, KConrad mentions you can write any invertible $2\times2$ matrix as a conjugate of an upper triangular matrix. How does this work again?
If I wanted to more formally pose my question:
Suppose $A=\begin{bmatrix} a & b \\ c & d\end{bmatrix}\in GL_2(\mathbb{C})$. How could I determine matrices $B$ and $C$ such that $A=CBC^{-1}$ with $B$ upper triangular?

If you're good with numbers and interested in the ways that money moves around in the new global economy, then a career in banking or finance might be exactly what you're looking for. There are a myriad of different areas in which to specialize, and many career paths within each of those areas. Banking has the added bonus of being a constant presence in our culture—no matter what else happens, businesses do business, with each other and with people. Careers in banking and finance get you right in the middle of that, helping to make it happen.
The world of banking and finance offers quite a lot to the right person: good salaries, a secure career path that commands respect, and the chance to do what you do best: math. If you're logical, clear-thinking, and can work with numbers the way writers work with words, then you need look no further for a fulfilling career.
If you're intrigued by what you're reading, but have no experience in banking or finance, you might want to try this online course in banking fundamentals. Even if you aren't looking for a career in banking, getting a better grip on the nuts and bolts of our economic system is probably a good idea.
The Financial Industry
The world of finance and banking can be broken down into several areas, each of which merits its own article. And you need a solid educational background and the right degree or degrees. We'll take a look at what you need to learn, and at each part of the financial sector, and give you what you need to know so that you can dig deeper once you know what you're really interested in.
What Education Will You Need?
Obviously, working in finance and / or banking requires that you have a facility with numbers and with mathematics, but majoring in math tends to be more the province of math teachers rather than banking and finance. But if you want to work in a bank, on the retail end of the industry, a math major and some public speaking as an undergraduate should get you by. At the graduate level, you would most likely want to think about an MBA, or an advanced degree in Finance, Accounting, Higher Math of some type, and perhaps pursue a certification in accounting, if you wanted to have some upward mobility.
A career in banking and finance requires that you take business-related courses such as accounting, business finance, money, financial markets, statistics, and micro-and macro-economics, regardless of what you major in. You might choose to major in Accounting, Finance, Economics, Applied Mathematics or Statistical Mathematics, or Business Administration (with a minor in Accounting or Mathematics). Graduate degrees are of course available in all of these fields, and there are certifications that may be required, such as the rigorous exam required to become a Certified Public Accountant.
No matter what you major in, it's probably a good idea to get some entry-level experience in the world of banking and finance, either through a retail job in a bank or through an internship with a financial company. If you plan to follow this path, it is worth your while to think about how to prepare for the interview ahead of time. Interviewing for a finance or banking job is not as intuitive as you might think. This blog article by Kasia Mikoluk will help you prepare for the tough questions you'll be asked.
Banks and Banking
There are many job options for those who wish to work specifically in, or for, banks. Teller is the entry-level position in many cases, but you might want to move up to positions like branch manager, mortgage banker, loan officer, trust officer, or credit analyst. Each of these positions is specialized, and each requires a unique skillset and educational background. Branch managers often have studied business or management, while loan officers benefit from a background in sales.
Whichever end of commercial banking you pursue, you will most likely be dealing in some capacity with the public. A grounding in sales and relationship management is essential, and you can learn more about those in this online course.
Asset Management
Working in asset management means doing just that for clients, whether they are individuals or companies: managing the client's assets. Asset managers and portfolio managers typically create funds (mutual funds, hedge funds, etc.) and then invest for their clients in securities and equities. Usually, skill in research and quantitative analysis is a boon in this field.
Corporate Finance
The field of corporate finance encompasses mergers, acquisitions, IPOs, and large-scale real estate deals. Working in corporate finance means collaborating closely with corporate clients, advising them on the best strategies for growth and continued success in the ever-evolving market. If a corporation needs capital to buy out another company, purchase a new facility, buy back some of their own stock, or even sell off a division, they turn to their corporate finance advisors to help them figure out the best way to do it.
Investment Banking
"Investment banking" is a term that covers a lot of area. Saying you are "an investment banker" is about as specific as saying you are "a teacher" or "an athlete." Such a term gets you in the ballpark, but doesn't get nearly specific enough.
So what sort of things do investment bankers do? They sell, trade, and underwrite securities for clients. They also provide many of the same services that corporate finance firms might provide, but they often do so for smaller clients, such as smaller companies and individuals: managing assets and advising on all investment matters.
The thing that differentiates investment bankers from others in the financial sector and is common to all who use that name to define what they do is that they work for banks. Specifically, investment banks devoted to that purpose. It's a fast-growing field, and just as the name is broad in scope, the job opportunities are, as well. If you're interested in a career in investment banking, you can get a good overview of the field in this online course. To get more in-depth, you might want to take a look at this online course on financial and valuation modeling, a key area in investment banking.
In fact, there is so much growth in this field right now that many recent college graduates find themselves interviewing for entry-level positions at investment banks. If you are already on this track, and are trying to land an interview (or if you have just scheduled one and want to do some quick preparation), read Kasia Mikoluk's blog post on formulating answers to some common investment banking interview questions.
Hedge Funds
The hedge fund has gotten a bad rap in the movies and in the popular conception. They got their name for the practice of "hedging," the sometimes-ethically-questionable practices that are used to guarantee an investment in unpredictable market, such as agricultural commodities. In other words, hedging is like betting on yourself to both win and lose.
However, not all hedge funds actually engage in hedging techniques. Most hedge funds are simply open-ended, pooled investment vehicles. Clients can be individuals or companies. Someone needs to manage these funds, administrate them, and ensure that only the smartest choices are made, and that's where hedge fund managers and other employees come in.
Private Equity
Private equity firms invest in both privately-owned and publicly-traded companies. They don't work for clients; rather, they are the clients themselves, seeking to make profits on smart investments. Very large amounts of money are made and lost by private equity firms, and so a strong business and finance background is recommended for those interested in this world.
Sales and Trading
Those who work in sales and trading generally work for large companies, managing various in-house funds, such as pension plans and mutual funds. Those in sales maintain client relationships and oversee the sales of securities and other assets, while those in trading typically do just that: execute trades in commodities, equities, bonds, derivatives, bonds, and currencies, to make a profit for the parent company.
Public Finance
Pursuing the path of public finance does not necessarily mean working as a public servant. More often, those in public finance work for investment banks that partner with various public and private agencies on public projects. Most of the work involves raising capital by issuing securities that are exempt from federal taxes.
Venture Capital
Venture capital firms do exactly what the name suggests: they help raise capital for new business ventures, usually start-ups in industries like energy, biotech, and the Internet. These firms solicit funds from companies and wealthy individuals to accomplish their goals. Experience in the industries that venture capital firms focus on can be the make-or-break portion of your work history.
The Long and Short of Banking Careers
Money, some say, is the root of all evil. It has been more than twenty-five years since the Wall St. dictum "greed is good" became first a call to arms for all young college graduates with endless drive and ambition, and almost ten years since the economic meltdown and the ensuing public backlash against the world of finance. We've all grown up since then, and the field of banking and finance is not going away, no matter how it may change with the times. The job opportunities are there; the high salaries are there; the career paths are there. You just need to decide that this world is one you want to live in, and then pursue it with all the drive, resourcefulness, and intelligence you possess. Good luck!

Poor eggs, they get a pretty bad wrap in some circles. Barring food allergies or intolerance, organic, free-range eggs are actually an excellent source of nutrition.
Some highlights of the almighty egg:
- Excellent source of protein, helping stabilize blood sugar and keep you feeling fuller, longer.
- Great source of heart healthy omega 3 fatty acids, helping reduce your risk for heart disease.
- Egg yolks are one of the richest dietary sources of the B-complex vitamin, which directly affects neurological (brain) function.
- Eggs are high in sulfur, which is essential for collagen and keratin production, leading to strong nails and hair as well as youthful, glowing skin. Sulfur also supports vitamin B absorption and healthy liver function.
Here's one of our favorite egg recipes over at Eat Clean Health:
Herb and Avocado Omelet
1 egg, 2 egg whites
½ tablespoon EVOO (extra virgin olive oil)
½ tablespoon fresh/dried basil
½ tablespoon fresh/dried parsley
Dash of turmeric
½ ripe avocado
Black pepper (optional)
- Crack the eggs into a bowl, add herbs, and whisk together.
- Heat a small saute or omelet pan over medium heat, then add the oil to the pan. Once the oil is hot (be careful not to allow it to smoke), pour in the eggs.
When the eggs are firm, flip over. Add sliced avocado on one half of the omelet. Turn off heat and fold the egg over to serve. Top with black pepper to taste.
Eat Up and Enjoy!

Some water experts warn the upper Colorado River is an endangered species if current residential growth patterns and water consumption patterns continue along the state's Front Range, and they're increasingly concerned proposed energy production on the Western Slope will accelerate its demise.
Ken Neubecker, president of the state counsel of Colorado Trout Unlimited and a member of the Colorado River Basin Roundtable, points out that already 64 percent of the upper Colorado River above Hot Sulfur Springs in Grand County is diverted across the Continental Divide to the Front Range population centers of the state.
With the State Demography Office forecasting Colorado's population to jump 50 percent over the next 25 years from current levels of around 5 million to more than 7.6 million, Neubecker and others say there needs to be a major shift in land-use planning, water conservation efforts and energy policies to head off looming disaster for the Colorado and other state rivers.
Drought by a thousand cuts
"In the long run, especially if you're going to take the climate change thing seriously, the fossil fuels have got to just come to an end," Neubecker said of commercial oil shale production and its potential impacts on the Colorado River basin. "[Former Vice President] Dick Cheney made the comment that the American way of life is not negotiable. Well, in a hundred years it'll be drastically negotiated if we don't do something now."
Residential development alone has dramatically impacted the upper Colorado, Neubecker said, referring to a plan by the Denver Water Board to divert even more of the Fraser River in Grand County through the Moffat Tunnel to the Front Range. A key tributary of the Colorado, the Fraser already sees about 60 percent of its flow diverted east of the Continental Divide.
"They're sort of making light of the true nature of the cumulative impacts on the whole Colorado basin," Neubecker said. "Essentially, the whole upper Colorado, from Dotsero up, is suffering a death from a thousand cuts, and everybody who makes a cut says, 'Oh, mine won't hurt; mine's too small to be significant.'"
But all the cuts are condemning the river to a permanent drought-year status that adversely impacts riparian areas, degrades aquatic habitat and results in too much sediment building up in the river's channel, Neubecker said. Couple those impacts with contamination from natural gas drilling and other industrial and agricultural uses, and the Colorado and other Western Slope rivers are in big trouble, others say.
People get to drink that stuff
"That's one thing in this whole oil and gas industry that kind of gets short shrift is these drinkable or potable aquifers," said Bob Elderkin, a biologist and retired oil and gas specialist for the U.S. Bureau of Land Management who now lives near Silt.
"When something happens and you have [a chemical spill] — and you're going to have it because we've got people involved with [drilling] and people are fallible — that aquifer is polluted with a bunch of stuff, and unless they're required to go in and pump that out and mitigate the problem, that stuff stays in that aquifer until it eventually surfaces wherever it's going to surface.
"Most of that stuff either ends up in the White River or the Colorado River, and either way a lot of people are going to get to drink it."
Routt County Commissioner Doug Monger, whose northwestern Colorado county sits at the epicenter of any future oil shale boom, applauds Interior Secretary Ken Salazar for recently tightening Bush administration research and development leases and requiring more accountability.
Oil shale and nuclear industry water gulpers
He said residents of impacted communities and Americans in general need to know if oil shale is economically and environmentally realistic. The former president of Colorado Counties Inc. has his doubts.
"I hope America can't come here and trash out my country here to support the current industry," Monger said of existing oil shale technology, which requires between three and five barrels of water per barrel of oil. "They talk about 500-megawatt power plants to commercially extract this oil shale with Shell's technology, and all of the rest of the water out of Yampa and White river systems, as well as some further water out of the Colorado River system, which basically obligates all of the rest of the water in the Colorado Compact that we have."
The 1920s Compact that Arizona Sen. John McCain last year so famously — and disastrously — suggested should be renegotiated, dictates Colorado must send 3.88 million acre feet downstream a year no matter how the state divvies it up for local use. Oil and gas companies have been snapping up water rights in the Colorado basin since the 1940s, but the big knock on oil shale has been how much power it takes to extract petroleum from shale rock and sand.
Some have suggested nuclear reactors could solve the energy demands of full-scale commercial oil shale production, but Neubecker scoffs at that notion.
"[Nuclear] uses twice the water [of fossil-fueled-based power plants], and I don't think Sen. [Mark] Udall gets it, because he's a big proponent for nuclear power," Neubecker said. "I'm all for nuclear power east of the Mississippi because they have the water, just so long as they have to store the waste in their own backyard, not ship it out here for storage. We're not the country's trashcan."

Big Money
The WCOOP Main Event has genuinely become one of the most significant poker tourneys during the calendar year, if one considers the attention it receives, the prestige given to those who do well in it, and, of course, the money. The big, big money.
This year 2,133 entered to create a prize pool of $10,665,000. The buy-in for the WCOOP ME has remained steady over the last few years, with the prize pool peaking back in the last pre-Black Friday year of 2010 at $12,215,000 when Tyson "POTTERPOKER" Marks won an incredible $2,278,097.50 first prize when there was no final table deal.
In 2011 the WCOOP ME prize pool dipped to $8,135,000, then increased to $9,125,000 in 2012. This year it again topped the $10 milly mark, and like most other online tournament series on PokerStars the overall numbers are edging back toward (or even surpassing) the pre-2011 totals when Americans could play on the site.
Over on Wikipedia one can find a list ranking the largest ever poker tournaments (by prize pool). The list looks reasonably well maintained (although I haven't tried to verify its accuracy).
Of the 30 tournaments listed, the last 10 World Series of Poker Main Events crowd the top part of the list. The 2003 WSOP ME won by Chris Moneymaker doesn't make the list, as its total prize pool was "only" $7,802,700.
Meanwhile the 2008-2010 WCOOP Main Events sneak into the bottom part of the list. This 2013 WCOOP Main Event should earn a spot on there as well just behind those earlier WCOOP MEs. That'll make six online events among the top 30 of all time.
How big can the WCOOP Main Event and/or other online tournaments get? It appears their potential for further growth is less limited than that of live events, although it doesn't seem as though an online tourney could ever reach the heights of the biggest WSOP MEs with prize pools these days usually around $60 million. (The biggest ever in 2006 was $82,512,162.)
Was reading David Schwartz's article a couple of days ago in which he looked back five years to "The Day Wall Street Went Bust" and snuck in a subtle allusion to a Rush song along the way. And so with Rush on the brain -- and big money -- I much more lazily titled this post. Hey... I said I was tired.

Coolant Safety & Transportation
When considering the use of coolant in any application, review and understand our current Material Safety Data Sheet for the necessary safety and environmental health information. Since use conditions and applicable laws may differ from one location to another and may change with time, the Customer is responsible for determining whether products and the information provided are appropriate for Customer's use and for ensuring that Customer's workplace and disposal practices are in compliance with applicable laws and other governmental enactments. Recochem requests that the Customer read, understand, and comply with the information provided and the current Material Data Safety Sheet(s). Customer should furnish the information to its employees, contractors, and customers, or any other users of the product(s), and request that they do the same.
Coolant in containers or means of containment of less than 5,000 lbs (2,270 kg) or less are not regulated by either Transport Canada or the U.S. Department of Transportation. Therefore in North America, all consumer packaged coolant is non-regulated for shipment. Bulk shipments in Canada are also not regulated. Bulk shipments of coolant concentrate equal or greater than 5,000 lbs (2,270 kg) in a single container are regulated by the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) because ethylene glycol becomes a Reportable Quantity at those quantities. The Shipping name is "Environmental Hazardous substance Liquid N.O.S. (Ethylene Glycol), UN 3082, Class 9, Pk Gr III. The flash point is 116°C. Shipping prediluted coolant in bulk could contain 5,000 lbs (2,270 kg) in glycol and as such would require the same shipping documents and markings as the concentrate.

The Eco Experts demystifying double glazing prices
Published: 28 July, 2016
The Eco Experts, the UK's leading solar panel comparison site, is now offering a price comparison service for double glazing.
With none of the largest window installers in the UK offering clear information about pricing and only giving quotes once they have visited in person, The Eco Experts hope to help the public become much more informed about how much double glazing should cost.
A recent survey by Which.co.uk highlights the need for this service. Which found that 40% of the public think it's difficult to find good advice on double glazing, and a quarter had no idea how much double glazing costs before receiving quotes.
To help home owners avoid being ripped off, The Eco Experts allow users to compare prices of window installers operating in their local area for free. They have also produced a pricing guide to help demystify how much new double glazing should cost.
You can read this price guide at www.theecoexperts.co.uk/double-glazing-costs

How to choose a good wedding photographer
- Choosing the right wedding photographer is a very important part of your wedding day.
- Word of mouth & recommendations are usually the best.
- Speak to your reception venue; they will probably know someone reliable.
- Ask to see a friend's wedding album…..not just one or two photos.
- Invest a little of your time, take up the offer of visiting a photographers premises.
- Choose a wedding photographer with experience; ask questions, if they are still shooting weddings after 10 years they are going to be good, after 15 years very good.
- Good wedding photography is about excellent people skills, creative ability and a genuine desire to produce great photographs; it is not about the latest camera or Photoshop!
- A family member or friend who has 'a good camera" is probably not ideal, even the most expensive camera is useless in the hands of a novice.
- Finally, your special day will only happen once, try to eliminate the possibility of someone failing to produce acceptable work.

I was a little busy to write yesterday so I'll have to do my catching up now!
Friday I had another follow-up with my cosmetic surgeon. He said that my arms are looking great and they look better than he expected at this point. I guess I'm a good healer because he said that for not even a year post-op they're already very smooth and not as red as he'd expect. And I've not put any scar cream on them in quite a long time. YAY!
After my appointment I got back to town and had to run a couple errands, then I picked my boyfriend so we could get his car from the shop. Then we headed toward my house. He stopped for gas and I stopped for a few groceries for dinner on the way. He decided to wash his car too so I beat him home. And carried all of our stuff in. I think he did this intentionally....To get out of the work! Ha! We just spent Friday night in, and didn't do much of anything. I made turkey burgers (which he LOVED, by the way) and roasted cauliflower for dinner. I, of course, seasoned them up to give them a little extra flavor. I used lettuce as a substitute for a bun around my burger. I peeled off two large leaves and they worked perfectly. He had a bun and potato chips instead of cauliflower. See? There are easy ways you can make things healthy for one and not for the other(s). After I cleaned up, we watched TV (wrestling, of course) and just hung around for the evening.
We didn't do a whole lot on Saturday either. I ended being called into work which kind of messed up going out of town for my friend's little guy's first Birthday party. Bummed to have missed it but since I didn't feel the greatest (thought I was getting a cold; turned out to be allergies) anyway, so I had pretty much decided that I'd stay home. I did a little cleaning and stuff at home, we went and got more groceries (Friday night had been a quick trip for like three things), and pretty much just spent time hanging out together. Saturday night I made jalapeno popper melts that I found on the Kraft website. Except I added bacon, which I saw on Pinterest. They were easy to make and I used some lighter cheese and light whole grain bread for my sandwich to make it a little less deadly. They were delicious - my boyfriend was, once again, impressed with my awesome cooking skills. I love how he doesn't hesitate to tell me how awesome something is, or how it is better than a restaurant version. I guess I like knowing that I'm a good cook and he enjoys that.
On Sunday I decided I needed to get some more stuff done around the house - like packing! I had started picking up a few little things on Saturday but needed tape to tape boxes back together, which I did not have until we went shopping (and this was later in the day). I got an entire room and closet (holy cow - my skills at filling a closet rock - that thing was PACKED!) cleaned up and packed away. All that is left in that room (my third bedroom/computer room/craft room) is my computer and desk, and a table that is folded up. I won't take that stuff until it's time to move. It took me most of the day (although having consumed an entire bottle of wine may or may not have caused me to move a little slower for a while there - I was getting distracted by the "treasures" I was finding). I ended up filling up three large lawn and leaf bags (although one and part of another was from some cleaning I did down in the basement - yes I did a little of that too!) I also did some more cleaning and the laundry (seemed to have a lot more than usual this week!)...Nothing too exciting. After I we were done with all of that, we had dinner (I didn't actually cook this time), I packed our lunches, and spent the rest of the evening relaxing. By relaxing I mean I zoned out on the couch watching TV while my boyfriend napped for a good two hours (I had to wake him up, for fear he'd sleep all night and then be up at four in the morning or some ridiculous time).
Yesterday it was back to work for both of us. After, I went to pick up a shelf I bought from someone for the new house (SO cute; shabby chic!) and then headed to my parents' house. I spent some time on the tready, showered, made dinner, and then headed over to the boyfriend's house. Like I even need to say this by now? This happens weekly...I should write about something that has CHANGED; not the same ol' thing. We're also together more days than not (most, actually) so it's not like being together is all that noteworthy. Last night was the same ol' wrestling date ritual as usual.
Today I had a hair appointment so I ended up going home after, and got there later than usual. It was a "quick" night. I did a quick workout and made a quick dinner (left over turkey burger) and some spaghetti squash (ate a little; mostly made it to take to work tomorrow). I'm writing this and getting ready to relax for the evening. I feel like I should do something more around the house, but I'm feeling kind of tired and I've done quite a bit today...And it's after 8:00. I feel like I deserve a little relaxation time. Truth be told, I'll most likely do a few more things around here...Unless I fall asleep on the couch.
I hope you had a great weekend and a fantastic week!

Center Offers Unified Cancer Attack
GRAND RAPIDS — In developing the $45 million Lacks Cancer Center, Saint Mary's Health Care is reaching for two complementing goals: to elevate the level of cancer treatment the health system offers and do it in a better setting.
The Lacks Cancer Center consolidates all of Saint Mary's Health Care's cancer treatments into a single location that provides an integrated-care model blending clinical expertise, modern medical technology and the health system's "body, mind, spirit" approach providing emotional support to patients and their families.
As a new medical center-of-excellence in Grand Rapids, the Lacks Cancer Center has already enabled Saint Mary's Heath Care to attract several new specialists and sub-specialists in cancer treatment in the last few years and is expected to draw many more in the future.
"It's an embodiment of the best of Saint Mary's," said Deb Stiemann, Saint Mary's Health Care's vice president of strategic planning. "It both elevates the level of clinical care and is a way to bring in other clinical expertise."
Saint Mary's Health Care completed construction on the Lacks Cancer Center in early December and began showing off the facility during a series of open houses. The health system begins transferring patients this month.
The Lacks Cancer Center stems from a strategic plan formulated five years ago that identified cancer treatment as a key clinical area for Saint Mary's, which in September 2004 took on a new name and launched a year-long media campaign — using the theme "expect something more" — to promote its clinical expertise and reputation for compassionate care.
"We do feel we have our own brand of care model that patients will find very attractive," CEO Phil McCorkle said in September.
And that care model is reflected in the Lacks Cancer Center, where medical expertise and medical technology in cancer treatment are the cornerstones, including a new $3.5 million TomoTherapy CT scanner/radiation treatment unit that enables doctors to better pinpoint and precisely treat tumors.
The TomoTherapy unit is one of only 28 in use in the world. Saint Mary's Health Care was chosen as one of 20 centers of excellence where the manufacturer of the unit will measure patient outcomes and provide on-site support.
In highlighting the Lacks Cancer Center's technology, Saint Mary's Health Care administrators equally tout the care model they have designed to provide as comfortable an atmosphere as possible to ease the fears and anxieties of patients and their families who are experiencing the emotional trauma that comes with the diagnosis of cancer.
Those support amenities are crucial because families are instrumental in helping a patient cope with the illness and its treatment, Lacks Cancer Center Director Kenda Klotz said.
"Cancer has this big ripple effect, and the closer the family unit, the bigger the waves," Klotz said. "Our whole goal of this facility is to minimize the institutional feel and make it a warm space and a comfortable place."
The Lacks Cancer Center's interior design consists of warm colors and wood trim that largely minimizes the cold, clinical environment often associated with medical settings. The top floor sports a conservatory, an outdoor garden and a walking path for patients and their friends and family to use.
Many of the amenities designed into the building — spacious, private inpatient rooms with sleeper chairs for family members who wish to spend the night, for instance — are designed to aid a patient's emotional well-being, which in turn can affect how they respond to medical treatment, Klotz said.
Funded completely through philanthropy, including a $10 million gift from the family of the late Richard J. Lacks Sr., the Lacks Cancer Center will initially treat 15,000 outpatients annually and about 1,500 people on an inpatient basis.

Arsenal should have sold Jack Wilshere this summer
Arsenal star Jack Wilshere is set for yet another prolonged period on the sidelines after fracturing his right ankle.
This comes on the back of several long-term injuries which have forced the 23-year-old to miss much of his early career.
The worrying nag in the back of the minds of Arsenal fans is whether or not he can ever live up to his superb potential.
Apply to become a GMS writer by signing up and submitting a 250 word test article: http://gms.to/haveyoursay5
Wilshere came back at the end of last season after missing most of the campaign through an ankle injury suffered at the hands of a reckless challenge from Manchester United Paddy McNair in October.
During this comeback the young Gunner looked exciting, after a number of superb cameos from the bench he looked to be returning to something near his gung-ho best. This was exemplified by stunning strikes against West Brom and Slovenia.
Such promise has drawn the attention of suitors in the past. Interest from Europe's elite has never strayed far from the controversial Wilshere and this summer has drew the most realistic proposition for a transfer yet.
Manchester City appeared desperate to seek out home grown players in a bid to bolster their league regulated quota. Reports of their interest in Wilshere were strong and led to Wenger issuing a hands-off warning earlier in the summer.
With recent reports suggesting Wilshere may be out for the foreseeable future, reports averaging around the two month mark, should Wenger have cashed in on the troublesome young star?
Stelring comparison
Wilshere much like Raheem Sterling is seen as a prodigious talent for English football, however he has equally been no stranger to controversy in the press. Youthful exuberance resulting in the Arsenal man being harangued by the press for smoking in the past.
Sterling completed a £49million move to Manchester City this summer, which regardless of ability, is a tremendous sum. Surely the more experienced Wilshere could have commanded a reasonable fee had Arsenal been open to selling him. And whilst the £50m mark seems fanciful, Arsenal would have surely been able to command a fee somewhere in the region of £30m.
Even if fully fit their are doubts as to whether Wilshere would command a regular first team place for Arsenal. The current Arsenal squad already boasts a whole host of technically gifted midfielders.
Chance to cash in
Many of whom cause Wenger considerably less headaches when it comes to off field conduct. Have Arsenal missed a trick this summer in failing to offload the Arsenal youth product?
Wilshere found himself in hot water yet again post FA cup triumph for singing anti Tottenham chants as he did the year before.
Wilshere has been caught smoking twice, has been disciplined for overzealous celebrations twice and now has a further injury setback to contend with.
It is perhaps too early to compare Wilshere to his former perpetually injured teammate Abou Diaby, however, it goes without saying that had Arsenal sold the Stevenage-born star this summer he would have commanded far more than the Frenchman who left by mutual consent due to the non renewal of his contract.
It is tough to say whether Wilshere will recover from yet another injury setback and hindsight is a wonderful thing. Arsenal may be prolonging the inevitable as yet another rising star burns out on the treatment table but if presented with another chance, perhaps Arsenal would be wise to cash in, before they rack up too much more on medical bills and press releases.News Now - Sport News

Over at the latest website of Sentire cum Ecclesia (whereby David Schütz appears to be on the way to as many instantiations as Doctor Who), yours truly has been intervening in a big way in the discussion about what is meant by Our Lady's virginity in partu, attempting to defend the traditional doctrine thereof.
(Warning: this topic is sometimes discussed with too much expatiation of details that really require a holy reserve.)
With the Church, we pray in honour of the Ever-Virgin (from the Dominican Little Office of Our Lady):
Dignare me laudare te, Virgo sacrata: da mihi virtutem contra hostes tuos.
(Vouchsafe me to praise thee, sacred Virgin: give to me strength against thine enemies.)
— Antiphon at Prime
In prole mater, in partu virgo, gaude et lætare, Virgo Mater Domini.
(In offspring a mother, in birthgiving a virgin, rejoice and be glad, Virgin Mother of the Lord.)
— Antiphon at Sext
Beata mater, et intacta virgo, gloriosa Regina mundi, intercede pro nobis ad Dominum.
(Blessed Mother, and intact Virgin, glorious Queen of the world, intercede for us with the Lord.)
— Antiphon at None
Post partum, Virgo, inviolata permansisti: Dei Genetrix, intercede pro nobis.
(After childbirth, O Virgin, thou didst remain inviolate: Mother of God, intercede for us.)
— Antiphon at Lauds

Budapest is a breathtaking city with a long and dramatic history. It was originally two separate cities – Buda and Pest – located on opposite sides of the Danube River. In the 1500s, Hungary was controlled by the Ottoman Empire, who built numerous Turkish bathhouses in Buda and thankfully, many of these still remain. In the late 1600s, the Habsburg Dynasty gained control of Hungary and in 1873 Buda and Pest were united as one city. If you want to wow the locals (or anyone) with your linguistic skills, refer to the city as "Boo-da-pesht", which approximates the Hungarian pronunciation.
Budapest suffered greatly in WWII as it was occupied by German troops who destroyed much of the city upon their retreat in 1945. A communist government came into power and Hungary was declared a republic until the Hungarian Revolution in 1956. Many civilians lost their lives in the Revolution and gunfire damage can still be seen today on many of Budapest's magnificent buildings.
In 1989, Hungary became a democracy and later joined the European Union. Today, much of the city is designated as UNESCO World Heritage Sites. Many of its attractions are within walking distance of each other and budget travellers will be delighted to find that the cost of accommodation, food, and entertainment in Budapest is much lower than in Western Europe.
What to See
Budapest is full of incredible architecture, particularly in the art nouveau style, and a striking amount of street art can be found throughout the city. Make sure to look up and look back over your shoulder every now and then when you walk – you never know what beauty you might see.
One of the most impressive and iconic sights in Budapest is the Hungarian National Parliament Building located on the banks of the Danube. Built in Gothic style, it is the largest parliament building in Europe and is spectacularly lit up at night time. If you'd like to go inside and view the Hungarian Crown jewels and some of the 691 rooms, you must book a guided tour.
A short stroll from the National Parliament is the Great Market Hall, which is a vast, airy building filled with locally-grown fruit and vegetables and locally-sourced meat. Many Hungarians do their daily grocery shopping here and it's a great place to pick up nutritious, budget-friendly food while supporting local farmers. The mezzanine level has several souvenir stalls selling lace, handmade chess boards, tote bags, and is also a great place to get some freshly-cooked Hungarian specialties such a goulash, sausage, and lángos. Do you know what lángos is? A disk of deep-fried dough bigger than your face, slathered with sour cream and garlic, and piled high with shredded white cheese. Hello, soulmate.
Since the city is bisected by the Danube river, Budapest has seven major bridges connecting the Buda and Pest sides. The first bridge was opened in 1896 with Emperor Franz Ferdinand hammering in the last silver rivet himself. The bridge was originally named for him, however, this bridge (and every other bridge in Budapest) was bombed by the retreating German troops in 1945. This bridge was the first to be rebuilt and was renamed Liberty Bridge. Today it is decorated with Hungary's coat of arms and statues of turuls – falcon-like birds, common in Hungarian mythology. Another gorgeous bridge is Chain Bridge, which has two stone lions standing guard at either end and is beautifully floodlit at night.
A particularly moving sight in Budapest is the sculpture Shoes on the Danube, located on the eastern banks of the Danube, near the Parliament building. It is comprised of 60 pairs of shoes cast in iron and attached to the ground in various positions. The sculpture gives remembrance to 3,500 people (800 of them Jews) who were shot into the Danube River by fascist Arrow-Cross militiamen during WWII. The victims were lined up on the banks and shot into the river so the current would carry their bodies away. They were told to remove their shoes first, because shoes had value (the implication being that their lives did not).
What to Do
If you are lucky enough to be in Budapest from mid-November to early January, make a beeline for the Christmas Market – it's one of the best in all of Europe. You can get all your Christmas shopping done in one visit as there are countless stalls selling beautiful handicrafts and decorations. But the real highlight is the food – lángos as big as your head, pigs roasting on spits, doughy chimney cakes baked in front of your eyes, and every flavour of mulled wine imaginable being ladled up from massive, steaming barrels.
For a uniquely "Budapest" experience, hit up one of the many ruin pubs. They are combination bars/pubs/clubs that have been set up in huge, abandoned buildings decorated in all manner of thrift shop chic, including velvet couches, funky art, vintage signs, and disco balls. Szimpla Kert was one of the first ruin pubs in Budapest and remains one of the biggest and most popular. It has several different nooks, each with a different purpose, including a cocktail bar, a wine bar, a hookah room, an open-mic room, an open-air courtyard (with an old Trabant car in the centre that you can sit in while sipping a beer) and, of course, a dance floor with a kickass DJ.
A visit to Budapest would be incomplete without a dip in at least one of their famous thermal baths. The waters are naturally heated by magma underground and contain numerous minerals that are said to improve skin conditions and joint issues. There are many bath complexes to choose from, each with a different style and vibe. Szechenyi baths is one of the oldest, largest, and most popular in the city. It has three large outdoor pools (perfect for relaxing and star-gazing after a busy day) and several indoor pools of varying temperatures, including ice-cold plunge pools and a dry sauna. For a more traditional experience, try Rudas, which is a gorgeous Turkish-style bathhouse built in the 1500s.It has a main pool and a variety of smaller pools, as well as a steam room, dry sauna, and relaxation room. Weekdays at Rudas are gender-segregated and bathing in the nude is the norm, whereas on weekends it's open to everyone and bathing attire is required.
The Hungarian Jewish Community is the largest in Central Eastern Europe and Budapest's Jewish District is one of the most lively and interesting areas of the city. A perfect way to experience it is on foot, either with an organized walking tour or doing your own tour. A good place to start is the Great Synagogue on Dohány Street. It's the largest synagogue in the world outside of Israel and is unique in its Moorish architecture, which is not typical of synagogues. The complex also includes the Jewish Museum, Heroes Temple, the Jewish Cemetery, and Raoul Wallenberg Memorial Park.
The Great Synagogue was originally consecrated in 1859. It was bombed by the Hungarian pro-Nazi Arrow Cross party in 1939 and was used as a base for German Radio during WWII. The synagogue was severely damaged during the WWII air raids but during the Communist era it was repaired and once again became a house of worship.
The Jewish Museum holds a collection of religious relics from Pest Hevrah Kaddishah (Jewish Burial Society), ritual objects of Shabbat, and a Holocaust room.
Raoul Wallenberg was a Swedish diplomat who helped rescue thousands of Jews during the Holocaust, before his mysterious disappearance. The park contains a captivating Memorial to Hungarian Jewish Martyrs, which resembles a metallic weeping willow tree and has the names of Hungarian Holocaust victims engraved on the leaves. Also part of the memorial are four marble plates, which commemorate 240 other non-Jewish Hungarians who helped to save Jews during the Holocaust.
A quick walk from the Great Synagogue complex will bring you to Király utca, also known as Budapest's Design Street. It has some fantastic restaurants, pubs, and outdoor cafes, and comes alive every Sunday for a weekly market. Nearby, on Kazinczy street, there is the Orthodox Synagogue, which was built in 1913 and is a magnificent example of Hungarian Art Nouveau architecture.
Where to Stay
Accommodation in Budapest is affordable and plentiful. AirBnB is a great option, with several apartments located in the city centre for easy exploring on foot. I stayed at a beautiful AirBnB close to the river and just a short walk from the centre of town for about $200 for 7 nights.
Budget travellers will be thrilled at the variety and quality of hostels in the city. These are some of my favourites:
Lavender Circus – Super funky style, spacious rooms, and amazing central location. Each room is individually decorated with vintage furniture and drawings on the walls. All beds are doubles so this hostel is ideal for couples or friends travelling together.
Maverick City Lodge – Perfect location in the heart of the Jewish Quarter, immaculately clean, and you can get a palatial double room with a huge bed, tv, ensuite bathroom and clean towels for the same price you would pay for a dorm bed in Western Europe. They also have dorms and free breakfast so it's great for solo travellers looking to make friends.
Wombats – Part of a high-quality European hostel chain, Wombat's Budapest offers clean dorms, a well-equipped kitchen, free breakfast, a excellent location in the Jewish Quarter. You can always rely on the "Wombar" for a good time and if you want to get the pub crawl going, Szimpla Kert is just steps away.
Each of these hostels can be booked direct through their websites or through " target="_blank">Booking.com

Mark Dantonio: Michigan State players to determine if Jon Reschke could rejoin
If members of Michigan State's football team are willing to let him come back, former Spartan linebacker Jon Reschke could rejoin the team.
Reschke announced he was transferring after the 2016 season following an incident where he admittedly said an insensitive remark to a teammate. Reschke never transferred anywhere and coach Mark Dantonio said Wednesday that Reschke could return if the team was comfortable with the idea.
"I've talked to our football team about it," Dantonio said. "That's our football team's decision on that one. I think there's certain things that you go through relative to your football team so that decision will get made as we go forward. I think it's more important to talk to our players about that, if and when that happens."
There's another factor at play here too. Reschke said he was going to graduate and transfer to his new school as a graduate transfer. He didn't play in 2017 after having a knee injury in the spring. If he was to attempt to play football in 2018 for the Spartans he would need an NCAA waiver for a sixth year of eligibility. While the NCAA waiver process can be inconsistent at times, we can't say we're too confident Reschke would get that waiver given the circumstances of his initial departure from the team.
Reschke wrote in February of 2017 that he had decided to seek the transfer after discussions with the coaching staff.
"In an argument and a brief moment of anger I lost control of my emotions and made an insensitive and totally regrettable comment involving a former teammate," he wrote then. "In so doing, I have hurt and offended countless number of people and for that I am deeply sorry. If I could take my comment back, I would do so in a second."
Reschke has 101 tackles throughout his Michigan State career and played in just two games in 2016 because of injuries.
