I really had hoped that the Notley government had learned it's lesson in late November and early December last year- Alberta farmers were not prepared to take their intrusive legislation lying down. Bill 6 made news headlines for weeks and stirred an uproar the like of which my generation has hardly ever seen in provincial politics. You can read my original statement here: Bill 6 and the End of the Family Farm.
While perhaps not intended to be as overarching, socialist and far reaching as the bill was originally interpreted, farmers across the province banded together to let the Notley government know that we would not bow down to the bill by rallying multiple times in Edmonton and staging protest convoys. Regardless of intent, however, the bill is still written as a heavy-handed, unsolicited piece of legislation which would does little to improve safety on farms, and paves the way for intrusive government OH&S investigation. Further, it essentially allows unions to move in and take over the workplaces of large farms, most of which are still family owned and operated, as they have been for decades.
Late last week, the consulting boards we were promised in early January have finally been put together, almost 6 months after the passing of the skeleton bill (which somehow went into effect January 1, without being fleshed out or amended…?). Six consultation groups have been assembled, covering the topics of: The Employment Standards Code, Labour Relations Code, two groups cover the Review of Existing Requirements and Exceptions, Best Practices for Agriculture, and Education, Training, and Certifications. The detailed outlines of these groups are available here: Alberta government website.
We knew these groups were coming, and we had been told to be patient. The groups were expected to be put together in early March. It is now late May. Not unexpected from any government. We were told these groups would be representative of the agriculture community. They are. We were NOT told that these groups would be chaired by union employees, lawyers, union facilitators and university professors. We were NOT told that of 78 members across 6 groups, only 23 (29%, less than a third) of them would be farmers and members of the AgCoalition , and the rest would be union employees, government employees, nurses, professors and many others whom have no viable connection to Alberta agriculture. (Wheat Growers VP disappointed with Bill 6 working group picks, only 29% farmers)
How are we now to expect that these groups have the best interests of the agriculture community in mind? How can I sleep at night and know that these people will come to the best conclusions, when two-thirds of every group is constructed of people who may not understand the businesses they are attempting to regulate? Alberta agriculture is the oldest, proudest business sector in the province. We have existed, farmed, and ranched since before Edmonton was Fort Edmonton, and certainly long before the province was formed 111 years ago. Alberta agriculture deserves better than a 1/3 representation in the most influential ag bill of the new millennium. This is nothing more than a slap in the face to Alberta farmers, and a statement to the effect that we cannot be trusted to put together legislation that works for all producers. We do not need to be told. by unions, by white-collars, or by the Notley government how to best keep ourselves, our families, and our employees safe. Bill 6 is not over, in my opinion. Indeed, the fight against it may really just be starting.

Tomcat has a horrible gotcha around the seemingly simple task of deploying a web-app to the so called "root context", ie at <hostname>/<webapp>.
- Define a ROOT.xml context file in conf/Catalina/localhost
- Name your webapp WAR "ROOT.war" or containing folder "ROOT"
(Note: I mean, literally, it must be named "ROOT". Case sensitive)
Note that advice given in Tomcat docs and elsewhere on setting the context in <webapp>/META-INF/context.xml can be misleading: you cannot deploy to root context simply by using this setting.
The path attribute, which configures deployment to root context, is ignored outside conf/server.xml. See the docs for path attribute, especially 2nd paragraph. I think this was introduced with Tomcat 5.5.
Why is this poor design?
Well, it seems to run misdirect the "Convention over Configuration" principle that has proven so powerful in recent years. While inferring the context from the filename is a convention, the principle states that configuration should be optional and when present override the convention. In Tomcat's case, the configuration (ie a "path" attribute) is silently ignored when specified.
The impact is that you must change your War filename or deployment folder, with resultant impacts on build processes & tools, just to vary its deployment URL – a form of inappropriate coupling. Even though there is a setting defined that would allow the artefact name and deployent URL to be decoupled.
I dont know what they were thinking…
Update: Is Glassfish v2 a better alternative?
July to October 2008, I trialed using Glassfish v2 instead of Tomcat, to run 3 small-medium Java webapps. Glassfish was pretty good, but I am now going back to Tomcat, as it seems the better overall option.
While I found the Glassfish Admin user-interface very convenient, the app-server proved slow and memory hungry compared with Tomcat. I also had problems getting virtual hosting to work properly under Glassfish.
I think the situation could change with Glassfish 3, currently in beta, as it is much more modular and can run webapps in a much more lightweight configuration.

TV stars make loud thud in 'Quiet'
The Quiet: Drama. Starring Edie Falco, Elisha Cuthbert, Camilla Belle and Martin Donovan. Directed by Jamie Babbit. (R. 91 minutes. At Bay Area theaters.)
The desperation TV stars must feel to be on the big screen is the only explanation for Edie Falco and Elisha Cuthbert's appearance in "The Quiet," a creepy family drama that reeks of pretentiousness. They play a mother and daughter living in a version of suburbia so hellish that it's like a cartoon.
Cuthbert is doubly culpable for agreeing to be associate producer. What she saw in the script besides a big fat lead role is hard to fathom.
She's Nina, a reed-thin cheerleader obsessed with the notion that she's fat. Director Jamie Babbit seems to be obsessed with cheerleaders. Her only other film -- a far superior effort, though that isn't saying much -- was the 1999 "But I'm a Cheerleader."
Babbit is good at creating a murky environment where bad things could fester. In "The Quiet" she keeps much of the action confined to a house designed by Nina's architect father, Paul (Martin Donovan). Her mom, Olivia, is supposed to be decorating it. But she's in a haze much of the time from popping painkillers and mixing them with booze. The rooms are mostly empty and draped in plastic.
Into this eerie space comes Dot (Camilla Belle from "The Ballad of Jack and Rose"), the orphaned daughter of Olivia's best friend. The family takes her in when she has nowhere else to go. Dot is deaf, which is a source of great amusement to Nina and the popular crowd she runs with. They make stupid jokes about Dot's disability. When Nina runs into her in the girls' bathroom at their high school, she tells Dot she needs lipstick to look like a woman and proceeds to smear it all over her mouth.
Dot's thoughts are expressed in a voice-over. Given the cruelty toward her and the horrifying things going on in the house (because they're the "secrets" at the heart of the so-called plot, I'm sworn to keep quiet about them), it's odd that much of her interior monologue is about Beethoven's struggle with deafness. But then there's little in this film that makes sense. The family has entirely too many secrets and lies to be plausible.
The usually reliable Donovan shamelessly overacts. He's so bad, it's funny. A scene of Nina ironing her cheerleading uniform in front of good old Dad is pure camp. Cuthbert flounces around a lot but doesn't have the range to express Nina's feelings.
Falco tries to bring some depth to her role. But it's so sketchily written, there's not much to work with. When Olivia strips off her top to pique her husband's interest and, failing to have any effect on him, lies down on the floor in a fetal position, you want to spearhead an e-mail campaign to keep "The Sopranos" on the air. Better that Falco grow old as Carmela than squander her talents on tripe like this.

Setting Your Goals
Creating a Plan to Achieve Them!
Do you know the difference between goals and dreams?
Goals without a plan to achieve them are just dreams!
If you really want to achieve something, you need to learn how to set goals, create a realistic plan, and implement the plan. Time is the great equalizer. You must remember that everyone has the same 24 hours in a day in which to achieve their goals.
When you make plans correctly, according to your goals, you will become a high achiever.
Here Is an Excerpt of the PDF Report You Will Receive…
"Your No-Nonsense Guide to Setting and Achieving Your Goals"
– What Steps Do You Need To Take? –
- Know What You Want to Achieve
The very first part of setting any goal is to understand what it is that you want to achieve. Don't think of all the steps yet about getting there, instead think about the goal itself and what it means. What is the big result?
- Define the Goal
Wanting to lose weight, write a book, or keep a clean house are all examples, but they aren't really what you achieve. When you lose weight, you achieve better health, a nicer physique, and more self-confidence.
These are better ways to describe what you want to achieve. What is the result of the action? When you finish the book, lose the weight, finish that course – what now?
- Let Go of Limiting Ideas
To identify what you want to achieve you may need to do some work on your limiting ideas and beliefs. Everyone has some. If you have an "I can't" mindset, you'll need to work on it so that you can make big goals for yourself.
"Can't" messages consist of internal dialogue in your head that stops you from truly achieving anything big….

Hi Guys,
I'm getting lots of people using the price quote on my site but not actually continuing through to order. I don't know how far they are getting in the order process before abandoning:
The funny thing is, the price is visible so people instantly know the price, but the button below the form reads 'Order Securely Online' and they are actually clicking this button to proceed (I assume).
That button then sends me a notification and passes the values to on to the next order form which is using Page Breaks... that's the problem. How do you track where people abandon when its not technically a page, only a page break?

* Friday morning breakfast with 2 of my favorite friends.
I just recently discovered this breakfast joint and it's SOOOO good. They serve these protein pancakes that are filled with granola, cinnamon, almonds and blueberries and I DREAM about them they are so yummy!
{Locals: the one in Chandler is on Chandler and Kyrene}.
* Dropped by my friend's house afterwards.
She needed a 'taste tester' for some new Oreo cookies that she had just made...
I don't EVER pass down a 'taste testing' opportunity.
I gave these cookies 2 thumbs way up!😉
* Spent the afternoon working on my NEW March Visiting Teaching Handouts. So excited to share them with you tomorrow!
* Friday night we attended a wedding and then went with some friends to eat tacos HERE. I've decided every Friday night should end with tacos and bean and cheese burros...am I right??
* Saturday morning I had the opportunity to participate in a stake wide Relief Society SERVICE project.
10 of us went to an organization in downtown Chandler called FANS ACROSS AMERICA.
I was blown away with this charity and all that they offer and provide for women who have left domestic abusive relationships and/or are homeless.
We sorted and counted items for them and it was such a great morning!
* Saturday night I practiced the organ {for Sunday} at my church building.
Don't be jealous.
The organ is a BEAST and that's all there is to it.
* Churchey-church on Sunday.
Our ward has issued us this Book of Mormon challenge....
...and our family started it tonight!
We are super excited about it.
* London spent the afternoon at my parent's house and when we went to pick her up - - my mom realized that Grant is now the same height as her!!
They all had to check it out in the living room mirror and then my mom proceeded to measure all of them on her craft room wall.
Anyone else do this??
She has lines and lines of all of her grandchildren's heights throughout the years and they have so much fun checking it out to see how much they have grown.
Can you even believe March is here?
It's supposed to be in the 70s and 80s here all week - - welcome SPRING!

Good news. A completely new Toggl Desktop, re-written from scratch, will be launched soon. We – Toggl team and guys from Mooncascade – have built it using a novel approach to software development – Sprint48 – where were are trying to build a working version in just 48 hours.
You can read more about our sprint from:
- our newly created Facebook fan page: facebook.com/Toggl
- ArcticStartup – a Nordic and Baltic technology startup blog: Toggl is a testbed for Sprint48
The reason why we decided to drop the current Toggl Desktop and build a new one from scratch is that we reached a conclusion that the current one has too many issues and the attempt to use a web application as a native application has not worked for us (current one is a site specific browser, i.e. a website in a native container).
Here is a screen shot of what the new Toggl Desktop currently looks like 🙂
Improvements that the new Toggl Desktop will bring:
- It is a native application.
- A lot better offline support.
- Faster, more responsive.
- Capabilities to auto-synchronize with the server.
- Smaller installer.
- Etc.
Here is a link to the new alpha version for:
- Windows
- Linux support will follow very soon.
NB! Keep in mind that the new Toggl Desktop is still in a very early development stage. There are many features missing, the design is not complete and there can be several bugs. However, if you are feeling adventurous, go ahead, try and let us know what your first impressions are 🙂

- Run Ceiling Fans. Keep your ceiling fans running to circulate conditioned air. This can also increase comfort by keeping the air moving in the home.
- Seal Air Leaks. All homes have air leaks as a result of the construction process. Air leaks allow conditioned inside air to escape, causing your cooling system to run more often. Having your home air sealed by a qualified contractor will help ensure the job is done right the first time.
- Run Bath Fans. Running your bath fan after showers will help remove warm, humid air. By adding a timer to your bath fan, you can schedule it to run on a daily basis to continually move stale, warm air out of the house.
- Adjust Your Thermostat. If your home has a programmable thermostat, check it. Can you turn it up a degree or two during the day? Increasing the temperature in your home during the day when there are fewer people at home can provide some relief in your energy bills.
- Increase Attic Insulation. Many homes don't have enough attic insulation. Even newer homes may have attic insulation that does not meet current codes. Contact a qualified contractor to have insulation added to your attic. Increasing your attic insulation can save up to 30% on your energy bills!

I've been reading about the potential health risks linked to meat consumption for decades1. The evidence of a relationship between processed meat products in particular and serious illnesses including cancer has been established for many years. So recent and widespread calls to rid bacon and ham of nitrates comes as no surprise. In fact, in some senses, it feels like a long overdue and underwhelming response.
Needless to say, The British Meat Processors Association stand by their bacon and maintain that nitrates are 'authorised additives'. However the dispute over the risks and benefits of nitrates in processed meat begs the question, why don't we do away with processed meats altogether? Meats are processed to modify the taste or extend the shelf life, products include bacon, sausages, hot dogs, salami, corned beef, beef jerky, ham as well as canned meats. Until we know more about the relative health risks of the different products it might be advisable to avoid them all.

In our previous lesson, Mystery Conductors Day 1, the students investigated how to detect a hidden wire by creating a circuit. Many students were challenged with planning an open circuit that could be "completed" by the mystery box, which is a piece of cardboard folded in half. There are 4 brads placed in the cardboard and are labeled A, B, C, and D. Inside of the cardboard at least one wire is connected between two of the brads.
I use the FOSS kits in my classroom, so these were supplied to me. However, you could easily make them. I suggest cardboard or poster board, so the wires are not easily felt.
The students are prompted to consider what went well and what was a challenge in the prior session. Then, they are to discuss with their team how they will approach and solve the challenge, "How can we detect a hidden wire using what we know about circuitry?"
My mini lesson today is short because this session is a continuation of yesterday. I simply remind the students that as scientists, they may run into situations that do not work. This is a gift, as it will supply them with necessary information.
I also remind them that they should draw schematics, discuss ideas prior to beginning, or rebuild what they had yesterday and revise if necessary.
Then, I send them off to their workstations to begin their investigations.
As the students worked, I realized quickly that they were much more organized and efficient today, after yesterday's "planning and exploring" time.
This group of students realized they had two hidden wires and were able to prove to me where they were located. After listening to them, I prompted them to draw their schematic and trade with another group.
This team of boys had an interesting way of proving how they knew their circuit was a workable tool in detecting their wire. They were also able to explain where the wire was.
Following their explanation, one of the boys drew the schematic with their findings on the whiteboard for me. While looking at his drawing with him, I was able to help him revise his drawing and then use it to describe his findings.
To close, I wrote the numbers of each Mystery Board on the whiteboard and asked students to report out where they detected the mystery wire. While doing this, we were looking for validation of results as well as sharing detection strategies.
My students love to share their thinking by agreeing and disagreeing. In this conversation, however, they were prompted to share their strategies, along with the results, which were obviously the same for each team.
I also asked the students to share what they did differently today and what they learned about electricity. Listen to how these students dissect their learning.

5 Easy Steps to stop anxiety-induced chest pain
The symptoms of anxiety attack will respond to anxiety-control techniques, like deep breathing and relaxation exercises. Here is one powerful technique to immediately stop chest pain:
(It is best done sitting but can also be done standing or lying down)
1. Sit with your back straight and your hands in your lap or on your thighs. Close your eyes. While doing this keep the tip of your tongue touching the top of your mouth.
When you inhale – do it through your nose. Exhale through your mouth. Ready?
2. Start inhaling slowly for 4 seconds (count them in your head not out loud). Push out your stomach and fill your lower lungs first like that. Then the rest of the lungs are filled.
3. Hold your breath for until you count to 7.
4. Exhale comfortably for 8 seconds.
Try to imagine that all the anxiety is leaving your body while you are exhaling. You are letting it go.
5. Pause for 2 seconds without inhaling (very important) and do this one more time.
Repeat until you feel your chest pain gone. And it will be!
Acupuncture has also proven effective in slowing the nervous system to retrain the body to not respond to feelings with adrenaline. Schedule your acupuncture appoinment now!

By Steve K.
In a spiritual sense it's often suggested that love is the opposite of fear. When considering the characteristics of these two states of being I can see the truth in this point of view.
However, I would suggest that this viewpoint relates to unhealthy or neurotic fear, rather than 'in the moment' instinctual fear; which is natural and surely necessary. The type of fear I'll be relating to is mainly born of our past experiences, trauma and social conditioning. This type of fear is the insecure ego that lacks self-love and emotional security. It's resentful from the past, isolated and defensive in the present, and pessimistic about the future.
I suffer from this type of fear and it was the driving force of my active addiction. The book 'Alcoholics Anonymous' describes the alcoholic as spiritually sick and suggests that self-centred fear is the root cause of the alcoholic's problems.
"Selfishness – self-centeredness! That, we think, is the root of our troubles. Driven by a hundred forms of fear, self-delusion, self-seeking and self-pity…"
Alcoholics Anonymous, 3rd edition, p.62.
"Notice the word "fear"… This short word somehow touches about every aspect of our lives. It was an evil and corroding thread; the fabric of our existence was shot through with it."
Ibid, p.67.
Fear focuses inward towards self and disconnects from others. It isolates and causes a sense of loneliness by blocking healthy, intimate and loving relationships. As fear is often informed by past hurts and trauma, it is typically defensive and lacking in trust in the present, as well as pessimistic and controlling regarding the future.
Fear of this kind keeps a person stuck and from living their life to the full. It feels the victim of circumstances, is often demanding and blaming of others, and fails to take responsibility for life and its problems. This fear is a negative sickness that poisons the soul.
Love, generally speaking, seems to be the complete opposite of fear. It is open-hearted, vulnerable and extends outward towards others. Love connects and builds intimacy. It's unselfish and lives in the present moment. Love feels secure and joyful, is trusting of life and in people. Love takes responsibility, lives wholeheartedly, and is a positive state of being. It nurtures the spirit.
The Nature of Love
What is love? Is it just an extension of our evolved survival, sexual and social instinct? Our limbic system with its neurochemistry creating the feelings that urge us to bond, reproduce and take care of one another.
This is the physical mechanism of love, the channel that it flows through, but I would suggest that love seems more than the sum of its parts. Deterministic science cannot explain our conscious experience of love (1); with its ineffable quality consciousness can't be explained by reducing it to its component parts. Additionally, the evolutionist's view doesn't adequately explain the different types of love, where the survival and sexual motive appear to be absent.
The spiritual view of love suggests it's synonymous with God (whatever that means to you), or a transcendent power within nature. Love is seen as the essence and guiding force of our true-self or being. It drives us towards growth and self-actualization. Love is often understood as a healing force working through people; that loving relationships are why we are here.
It is also believed, by some spiritually centred people, that only love and fear is at the core of our nature. (2) That we are either coming from a state of love, or that we are in fear. As opposites they cannot be experienced together; and so by practicing love we drive out our fear.
It's been suggested that the essence of Twelve Step recovery is "love and service". (3) That the practice of the Steps connects us to our true-self and to others. We are then 'promised', as the result of these Steps, "a new freedom and a new happiness", which is freedom from fear.
"We will comprehend the word serenity and we will know peace. We will lose interest in selfish things and gain interest in our fellows. Self-seeking will slip away. Our whole attitude and outlook upon life will change. Fear of people and of economic insecurity will leave us…."
Alcoholics Anonymous, 3rd edition, p.84.
The practice of love brings us serenity, feelings that are good, and a peaceful state of mind. By letting go of our resentments, our demands and expectations, we free ourselves from the conflict and mental distress that they cause. Love is accepting of self and others, it's forgiving and unconditional in nature. This was Bill Wilson's realization when writing his Grapevine article, "The Next Frontier: Emotional Sobriety."
"If we examine every disturbance we have, great or small, we will find at the root of it some unhealthy dependency and its consequent unhealthy demand. Let us…. continually surrender these hobbling demands. Then we can be set free to live and love; we may then be able to Twelfth Step ourselves and others into emotional sobriety."
The Language of the Heart, p.238.
A Loving Mind
The book 'Love is Letting Go of Fear', by Gerald G Jampolsky, places great importance upon our mental outlook in choosing 'love over fear'. He suggests that we can choose to forgive and let go of our demands, expectations, and blame where others and life is concerned.
I think this outlook takes faith and practice. We need to believe in the healing power of love and its ability to transform our lives for the better. We can let go of our past, stop worrying about and projecting our future, by just living in the here and now. We can practice trusting in our intuitive wisdom rather than reasoning with a fearful ego mind.
In terms of our philosophy of life, we have a choice in how we view the world and our experiences in it. The psychologist and philosopher William James advocated pragmatism in relation to our more spiritual beliefs. Believing in the transformational power of love is a positive and very beneficial thing that we can choose to do for ourselves. Belief in, and Practice of, love over fear… this is now my choice.
A core principle of Jampolsky's book, is that what we give in love to others, we receive in equal measure. By giving love without demands we expand the love within us. This is the mutuality of Twelve Step recovery – by helping others to stay sober, we increase our own sobriety; what we give, we also give to ourselves; what we teach, we also learn.
This is why recovery is found in the practice of love, rather than fear.

Univeria Zekt - The Unnamables (1971)
The one and only album from this Magma offshot. It is Magma in all but name.
This album was recorded and released just after the Magma album 1001 Centigrades as a introduction to zeuhl for the broader market. It is an introduction to zeuhl. Well, it was supposed to be that.
The Unnamambles has (with one exception) the same line up as the band who released 1001 Centigrades too. The difference is that we get more straight edge jazz. The mood is far lighter than on any Magma album, Merci excluded. The music is a bit fusion light too. Piano and woodwinds can be found here too. The occasional outbreak of kobaian from Christian Vander can also be found here. A bit demented and that is the only thing this album has in common with zeuhl.
I really don't get this "introduction to zeuhl" element here the band tried to attempt. Zeuhl as a genre is so much darker and brooding than this album. It seems like Magma totally missed the boat with this album. That is why I am so glad they did not release it under the Magma name. This album is not as bad as Merci. But it runs that album pretty close. Nevertheless, it is a decent album which recovers a great deal at the end of this half an hour long album.

Versus Versace perfume opens bright, sweet and fruity with lemon and fleshy peach. The sparkling citrus and the sweet side are equally divided, until the rose comes out. It's not your typical fishnet stockinged rose though: the layer of vinyl is substituted by the sweet peachy and the citrus fruity notes of the start. It's a strange couple what you have there, but it blends quite well: it's delicate and sweet, but still with a sexy card to play, especially […] Read more »
In the very opening, Versace Pour Homme Eau De Toilette offers very quick and fugacious aquatic notes, and then goes classic, amber-clean and laundry-detergent. There are citrus notes as well in the background (more present on the blotter though), and also a spice that makes it slightly powdery. It feels quite classy, with a style that reminds of Ferrari Black (where the spice is a bit more aggressive), which is from 1999, whereas this one is from 2008. And […] Read more »
Just like Acqua di Gio, another Italian fashion/perfume house with a fragrance inspired by the Mediterranean sea, but with less herbs this time. It was created by Alberto Morillas and Launched in 2007. This Versace Parfum opens with quite natural, not too sour citrus: lemon, grapefruit, mandarin. Not long after the start, light florals like lily and jasmine mix jump in, and the result is a pure and discreet fragrance, so thin you can see through it. That doesn't […] Read more »
Bright Crystal starts with pomegranate and yuzu, a citrus fruit from East Asia. You'll love this opening: the two types of sourness those fruits put together produce a smell that is clearly citrus, but different from the usual, similar to orange but without asperities. Florals are there though (peony and magnolia), and start to come out after about 15 minutes. The transition will be slow and enjoyable, with nothing dense nor aggressive. After all, with a name like that, […] Read more »
The Dreamer Versace starts quite sober, with gentle, almost feminine florals, but with a dry note there, which gives a masculine touch. As it evolves, the dryness reveals itself in a distinct note of amber. Again, think of this with a gentle touch. Think of Cool Water by Davidoff, but with a way less hairy chest, practically shaved. Amber came and went on my blotter, but the balance remained quite stable throughout, with the florals at times more powdery and […] Read more »

Ernie from "Sesame Street" loved his rubber duckies. In fact, there was seldom a scene in his bathtub - or even outside of it - where he was seen without his beloved bright yellow rubber ducky. We think he may have even loved it more than he loved Bert (just kidding).
We love our rubber duckies too, though at some point between graduating from college and starting a career we realized that perhaps it was not becoming of us to keep them around. If we wanted to still look cool, that is.
So if you're still fond of rubber duckies and would like to challenge yourself to a fun baking and cake decorating project, then take a look at this tutorial. You'll learn how to decorate cupcakes into duckies.

#Tefillin4pittsburgh Starts to Take Off
Following the tragedy in Pittsburgh, a grassroots initiative to put tefillin on Jews worldwide in memory of those killed in Pittsburgh was launched. Now, the results are in.
Following the tragedy in Pittsburgh, a grassroots initiative to put tefillin on Jews worldwide in memory of those killed in Pittsburgh was launched. Now, the results are in.
In a creative and meaningful response to the tragedy in Pittsburgh, Avraham Edery and Daniel Schechter went to Washington Square Park in Manhattan, and put on Teffilin with 11 Jews.
191 Families. Thats how many families will have volunteers from Bais Rivkah High School this year, under the umbrella organization HOO-Helping our own. Over 400 girls will be visiting families once a week to give Moms a helping hand with their little ones.
Hundreds of Tishrei guests took the opportunity Friday to go out on the streets of the city to do Mivtziom.
After 50 years of incredible success, the Tefillin campaign the Rebbe launched prior to the Six Day War is about to spread like wildfire. WRAPP, a brand new mobile app that merges cutting-edge technology with good old-fashioned Ahavas Yisroel, puts a powerful tool in the pocket of every Lubavitcher to fulfill the Rebbe's vision of enabling every Jewish male over age 13 to wrap Tefillin.
A video of Rabbi Isser Lubecki, a 27-year-old Chabad rabbi from France, helping a Deaf Jewish man put on tefillin and say the Shema in sign language, recently went viral. Viewed tens of thousands of times across various social networks, the video shows Lubecki helping the man with the mitzvah.
A very unique Tanya was printed at the headquarters of the British Army, to give strength and support the members of the armed forces.
After a phenomenal summer last year Camp Yaldei Hashluchim Ukraine will be reopening this summer. Last summer, for the first time ever, dozens of children of the Rebbe's Shluchim from across the Ukraine joined the program for a summer filled with trips, activities and more.
A campaign titled "Ecole Juive Pour Tous" which translates to "Jewish School for Everyone" was recently launched by the Shneor School in Aubervilliers, France, attracting many Jewish boys and girls to attend a Jewish school. Its recently completed first year is being billed a major success.
Conservative Talkshow host Mark Levin, who was at the Kotel today marking Jerusalem Day and attending the opening of the United States Embassy in Jerusalem on Monday, put on Tefillin at the local Chabad Tefillin booth.
Cootamundra, population 6,700. I had been driving for six hours on behalf of Chabad of Rural and Regional Australia, or RARA, northbound along the seemingly endless Hume Highway, stretching the vast distance of Australia's east coast. I was headed to Wollongong, just one of eleven locations where regional Seders would be taking place, a coastal paradise famed for its beautiful beaches and warm climate. But now I was taking an hour detour off the Hume Highway to visit the only Jewish family living in Cootamundra.
During the Shloshim of Menachem Mendel Bruchstat OBM, friends and classmates came up with the idea of purchasing and dedicating a Mitzvah Tank in his memory. On Yud Alef Nissan, the day of The Rebbe's birthday, it came to fruition.
Dozens of 'Mitzvah Tanks' took to the streets of New York City to spread the message of redemption and of Pesach, as a 'gift' to the Lubavitcher Rebbe marking his 116th birthday. A simultaneous 'rally' for children took place in front of 770 – the Lubavitch World Headquarters.
For decades, emissaries of the Chabad-Lubavitch movement have set up tefillin stands in universities and at street corners around the world, looking to encourage Jewish passersby to put on phylacteries. One such tefillin stand in Paris received a most unusual visitor on Monday, when a middle-aged tourist from Morocco approached the stand and began chatting about the Lubavitcher Rebbe.
When 20-year-old rabbinical students Mendel Kastel and Mendel Lipskier arrived in Kathmandu, Nepal, on very short notice in April 1989, they knew they had their work cut out for them. But they were ready.
Two bus-loads of Beis Rivkah of Montreal High School students visited five Montreal Jewish schools and presented a specially prepared, original, interactive educational program for the young children.
It's still early Friday morning, but Agripas Street is already wide awake. Those staying in town for Shabbat are rushing to the historic Machane Yehuda market (also known as the shuk) to buy food, challah, wine and other staples for the day of rest. And those leaving the city are rushing to the central bus station nearby to get to places all over Israel before the buses stop running an hour before sunset.
70 students from Yeshiva University enjoyed an inspiring Shabbos in Crown Heights together with their Oholei Torah chavrusas over farbrengens, meals, a grand Melava Malka, and a visit to the Rebbe's Room, House, and library.
You know them when you see them, and when you see them, you know it's Chanukah. The car menorah is a uniquely American innovation—a marketing gimmick created by young yeshivah students in the early 1970s as a way to spread awareness and the message of the eight-day Jewish holiday. Today, they can be found across the globe and on all kinds of vehicles.
While law enforcement agents were searching the Kensington, Brooklyn, home of Akayed Ullah, the would-be suicide attacker who had detonated a pipe bomb in a Manhattan subway on Monday, Rabbi Yisrolik Langsam, who heads a Chabad outpost in the area with his wife Mushkie, arrived at the scene to pass out donuts and Chanukah menorahs and wrap tefillin with Jewish people present — from law enforcement, the media and passersby.
All lanes of the upper level of the Brooklyn-bound side of the Verrazano Bridge were blocked Monday night, causing traffic delays. Included in the jam, which stretched for almost five miles, was a sukka mobile returning from a day of mivtzoim in the Staten Island area. The vehicle sat idle, but the Bochurim that were on it did not.
With Sukkos quickly approaching, dozens of Bochurim and Shluchim have already confirmed their Sukkah Mobiles for this coming Chol Hamo'ed. After tremendous efforts, by Bochurim and Yungerleit, the Sukkahs are ready to be assembled, rental contracts are already confirmed and much more has already been done in advance of what promises to be the biggest Sukkah Mobile season yet.

Two actresses who made their names in television have both recently died. The first was Phyllis Kirk, who died Thursday at age 79 from a post cerebral aneurysm. Although perhaps best known for her role in the horror classic House of Wax (which starred the legendary Vincent Price), her career would largely be in television.
Kirk was born Phyllis Kirkegaard in Plainsfield, New Jersey on September 18, 1929. While in her teens she moved to New York City to break into acting, working various odd jobs until she could make a living at her craft. She made her first appearance on film in the movie Our Very Own in 1950 in the role of Zara. She appeared in various minor roles in movies before her big break came in 1953 with the release of House of Wax. In the film Kirk played raven haired beauty Sue Allen, who is stalked by mad wax sculptor Henry Jarrod (the great Vincent Price). She would go onto have roles in the films Thunder Over the Plains Crime Wave, the Jerry Lewis vehicle The Sad Sack.
Despite the success of House of Wax, Kirk's career would primarily be in television. Even before her memorable appearance in House of Wax, she first appeared on the small screen in The Philco Television Playhouse in 1952. She would go onto have dramatic roles in some of the most prestigious anthology series of the era: Armstrong Circle Theatre, The U.S. Steel Hour, Goodyear Television Playhouse, Studio One, and Playhouse 90. She would guest star on such shows as The Name of the Game and The F.B.I.. Her biggest claim to fame on television may well have been her role as Nora Charles on the TV version of The Thin Man, which ran for one year on NBC in the '57-'58 season.
In the Seventies Kirk left television for the stage, then went into public relations. She was a publicist for CBS News for many years before retiring in 1992.
The second actress to die of late was a television legend. Jane Wyatt died Friday in her sleep from natural causes at the age of 96. She is perhaps best known as Margaret Anderson, the mother on Father Knows Best, and as Amanda, the mother of Mr. Spock on Star Trek.
Jane Wyatt was born August 12, 1910 in Campgaw, New Jersey to a wealthy family. Her father was a Wall Street broker and her mother was a drama critic. She grew up in New York City. After attending Barnard College, she became an apprentice with Berkshire Playhouse in Stockbridge, Massachusetts for six months. Wyatt made her Broadway debut as a performer in The Midnight Rounders of 1921 in 1921. She would go onto several roles on Broadway, among them Dinner at Eight, Conquest, and For Services Rendered. She was signed by Universal in 1934, making her first screen appearance in the James Whale movie One More River. She then rotated between the screen and stage. On film she appeared as Estella in the 1934 adaptation of Great Expectations and the film The Luckiest Girl in the World. On stage, besides the aforementioned plays, she appeared in The Mad Hopes and The Joyous Season.
Her big break came with Frank Capra's film version of Lost Horizon, playing the role of Sondra Bizet. Although Wyatt would continue to appear on stage, her career was increasingly focused on film. She appeared in such films as Hurricane Smith, Army Surgeon, Boomerang!, Gentleman's Agreement, and My Blue Heaven.
Wyatt continued to appear on Broadway, although less frequently after the Thirties. Among the plays in which she had roles were The Bishop Misbehaves, Night Music, Quiet, Please!, and Hope for the Best. She last appeared on stage in 1951 in The Autumn Garden.
With the Fifties Wyatt's career turned towards television. She first appeared on the small screen in an episode of the anthology series Nash Airflyte Theatre in 1951. She would go onto appear on such shows as the legendary Your Show of Shows, Lights Out, and Robert Montgomery Presents. It was in 1955 that Father Knows Best debuted. On the sitcom Wyatt played the mother of the household, Margaret Anderson. The show ran for six years, with 207 episodes. She won three Emmy awards for her role on the show. Wyatt would go onto to appear in several other TV series, among them Studio One, The U.S. Steel Hour, Wagon Train, and The Alfred Hitchcock Hour.
It was a 1967 guest appearance on a then obscure show called Star Trek that would bring Wyatt her other famous role. In the episode "Journey to Babel" Jane Wyatt played Amanda Grayson, the human mother of Mr. Spock. Wyatt was perfect in the role and as perfect as a match for a Vulcan as there ever could be. Amanda was patient, kind, and understanding, but at the same time strong willed enough to hold her own with her husband Sarek and their son Spock. Although Amanda only appeared once on the original series, Wyatt made a huge impression in the role and it would become her best remembered role besides that of Margaret Anderson. She would reprise her role in the Star Trek movie, Star Trek IV: the Voyage Home.
Wyatt would go onto several more guest appearances on such shows as Love American Style, Marcus Welby, Walt Disney's Wonderful World of Color, and The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles. She appeared in the recurring role of Katherine Auschlander, the wife of Dr. Auschlander. Wyatt also appeared in several TV movies, including Amelia Earhart, A Love Affair: The Eleanor and Lou Gehrig Story, and Family Knows Best reunion movie, Father Knows Best: Home for Christmas. Her last appearance on the TV documentary Frank Capra's American Dream.
Both Phyllis Kirk and Jane Wyatt were gifted actresses who had a large impact on television. Kirk was undoubtedly beautiful and, although utilised primarily as a damsel in distress in film, had a real gift for drama. She could also do well in light comedy, as her role as Nora Charles in the TV version of The Thin Man proved.
As to Jane Wyatt, there is a reason she is a television legend. Wyatt had a gift for playing women who were kind and understanding, yet possessed of a strong will of their own. Indeed, one of the things that separates Father Knows Best from other comedies (besides the fact that it wasn't the least bit smarmy) is the fact that Margaret Anderson, although understanding and gentle, could hold her own with both her husband and her children. She was no pushover. This is even truer of both Amanda on Star Trek and Katherine Auschlander on St. Elsewhere. Both women were well equipped to deal with stubborn men, whether it was the relentlessly logical (and though they would not admit it, arrogant) Sarek and Spock or the painfully stubborn Dr. Norman Auschlander. Playing strong women who are at the same time understanding and kind is, no doubt, a difficult task, yet Wyatt played those roles with ease. Wyatt is a legend who won't soon be forgotten.

Fancy Pants App: Mummy Dogs
I like my dogs with mustard, but John prefers ketchup. Serving them that way makes them look like bloody mummys! Perfect for the scare factor! These came from Mel's Kitchen Cafe where Mel has posted an immense amount of Halloween treats for grown-ups and kids alike. Are you ever too old to stop celebrating Halloween?
I'm not sure...I remember my cousins used to have a GIANT Halloween party at their parents house when they were probably around my age. All I know is I was always too young to attend, and by the time I got old enough, they had kids and crazy Halloween parties were no longer their style. Isn't that always the way. Although I wouldn't mind being home in NY next week and helping the kids trick-or-treat. There is something really fun about holidays that involve every American regardless of religion like Thanksgiving or Halloween. And what better way to celebrate a holiday then with food, right?
here; dough adapted from here)
Serves: 4
3/4 cups warm water
1/2 tablespoon instant yeast
1 tablespoon sugar
1 3/4 cups flour
½ teaspoon salt
4 hot dogs of your choice
Mustard and Ketchup for serving
Mix warm water, yeast, sugar, flour, and salt with an electric mixer until well combined. Knead for three to five minutes. Let the dough rest for 10 minutes. Then, use half of the dough for Wednesday's recipe (keep in the fridge) or make them into plain breadsticks. Heat oven to 375 degrees. Roll out the breadstick dough about 1/4 to 1/2-inch thick and cut into thin strips with a pizza cutter. Starting at the top of each dog, use a strip of dough and wind it down the hot dog. Repeat with a 2nd strip of dough per hot dog and then place on a lightly greased cookie sheet. Bake 10-15 minutes until the dough has completely cooked through (it will puff up but don't let it turn golden--it should still look like a white mummy)! Dot mustard or ketchup "eyes" on the mummy dogs and serve.
Until the next time my oven is on...

These are so cute! I bet they taste pretty good too. We always have hot dogs of some sort on Halloween night. I like mine with mustard too.ReplyDelete
Thanks so much for the book! I got it today and your timing couldn't be better as a snow storm is blowing in tonight. I hope to get started on it tomorrow sometime. I'll send it back when I'm done.

Bounce House : Renovation
The key design move for this small inner west renovation was to bounce northern light into the interior living spaces.
An enlarged angular eave fascia acts as the reflector which in turn relies on the neighbours wall to illuminate the kitchen, living and dining through windows set within a wall of joinery.
The 1.5m wide side passage is deliberately linked to both the living spaces and the rear yard to increase the sense of space on the small site.
The front portions of the dwelling were also renovated and included two wet areas and a new bedroom. A bespoke ceiling profile has ensured the internal bathroom is a delightful light-filled room.

Roadkill Chinese Buffet!
Now we have an answer.
And it ain't purty.
All Joking Aside...
I have often joked about the reason the prices are so low is that the owners of the restaurant, often immigrants to America and unfamiliar with our customs and laws, probably got the meat on the buffet from the local Animal Shelter. It's worse than that, folks.
Much worse.
CBS affiliate WYMT tells us about a Chinese restaurant in Williamsburg, Kentucky that went the extraa mile in feeding their customers. And by "extra mile" I mean to the nearest interstate highway. WYMT reports, "Two of the workers came in wheeling a garbage can and they had a box sitting on top of it. And hanging out of the garbage can, they were trying to be real quick with it. So that nobody could see it. But there was like a tail, and a foot and leg. Sticking out of the garbage can and they wheeled it straight back into the kitchen," adds Hopkins. (ed.- "Hopkins" was a customer/witness to this mess)
Hopkins, who described the scene that left a trail of blood across the floor as 'very disturbing,' called the health department immediately.
An environmental health inspector, Paul Lawson, reportedly arrived at the Chinese restaurant after the complaint to find a dead deer in the restaurant's kitchen.
The workers did this with customers in the dining room!
What? No Possum?
Before reading the story, having sen only the headline to it, I was thinking that some Ma and Pa cafe had been caught serving possum or raccoon in their place. I never in a million years would have guessed it was a Chinese restaurant. We're talking about Kentucky, not Cal-ee-forn-ya here.
What kills me is the fact that the two China Guys thought they could get away with wheeling the dead deer in the trash can through the dining area. With actual customers in there and everything. I would give a thousand bucks to have heard the hatching of this brilliant plan.
China Guy 1: Hey, Won Hung Lo! Let's go on the north side of Interstate 75 and look for tomorrows buffet meat. I hear the truckers run over deer and possum there like crazy and just leave them laying on the roadside. Those ungrateful Imperialist Yankee Pigs!
China Guy 2: OK, Dum Phuk Er! Let's go!
China Guy 1: When we get back to the restaurant, we must quickly wheel the roadkill in through the Dining Room! Got It? Those American Dogs will be too busy eating yesterday's skunk, which they think is beef! Hahahahaha!
China Guy 2: You crack me up, Dum Phuk Er! Wait'll they get a load of the "duck"!
China Guys 1 & 2: bwahahahahahahahaha !!!!
Which brings me to a joke. How many Chinese restaurant owners does it take to make a lunch buffet? Two. One to watch out for traffic! bwahahahahahahahahaha I kill myself sometimes.
Penalty Box
You'd think that some major closure and/or fines would be imposed on the restaurant owners, right? Wrong. The WYMT report goes on, "The Red Flower Chinese Restaurant will not face any fines and will be able to reopen if they pass a secondary health inspection. The restaurant owner alleges that he was going to serve the deer to his family and not to customers."
Riiiiiiiiiiiighttt. And I am the fucking Tooth Fairy.

I'm from Texas, amigo...armadillo road pizza is our favorite.Delete

I'm never eating out again. Never again!ReplyDelete
Though, I guess we don't really know what the meat we get at grocery stores is either.
Hmm, I guess as long as it tastes good who cares?Replies
I prefer "Possum on a Half Shell" (armadillo)Delete
We have a Chinese restaurant near work that was caught red handed dumpster diving for produce at the grocery store across the parking lot. They never got in trouble for that either as far as I remember.ReplyDelete
No word on whether they got in trouble for being in possession of the deer carcass? I don't know how it works in other states but up until a few years ago, WI didn't allow anyone to pick up and keep road kill deer. Now you can but I believe it still needs to be tagged by a cop or DNR warden.Replies
I can only imagine what a Korean restaurant might do.Delete

Continuing with our discussion on new-age startups that have the potential to create jobs, and unconventional ones at that, what if we were to give wings to our wildest fantasies and make them take largely maiden flights to hitherto unheard-of vocations. So to say, whereas the last two blogs talked about ideas that had already been tried and tested, what follows is largely uncharted territory – fantastic, fanciful & insanely exciting.
For instance, while we're already aware that the last bastion of one-horned rhinos in Assam, India, aren't exactly staring at a bright future, not everyone will, despite beating hearts and glowing emotions, feel it apt to visit Kaziranga and Manas wildlife sanctuaries in person. And this despite the fact that the state, torn apart in the 1980s by ethnic strife, has been pretty placid in recent times. Actually, the greatest issue for everyone, whether from other parts of India, or abroad, is accessibility. The North-East isn't exactly well-connected though things are changing.
Given these circumstances, what would a wildlife warden sitting in Kohora, one of the main gates of Kaziranga do in order to increase footfalls? Sure, the conventional advertising and PR activities will remain. However, maybe one can take up something really innovative like experiential safaris which are basically augmented reality-like virtual tours that'll get the potential tourist so engrossed that she'll pack her bags and set sail for Assam at the earliest opportunity.
In other words, in order to entice tourists into visiting in person, presuming the potential tourist checks in at the website, he gets to see the vanilla pop-up and drop-down advertisements, PR testimonials and the usual stuff. However, the call to action here really is a small video grab that, against a nominal fee, helps one plunge into rhinoceros land lock, stock and barrel! Once the viewer clicks the video, it streams to pan out into a well-cut game-like video that encourages the viewer to partake of the joys of the park – sight birds and wild buffaloes, run around with the shy deer, spot a slithery python sunning itself on the giant eucalyptus, or indeed cap the horn of the one-horned pachyderm with Santa-like caps! This will be designed to be so interactive that the viewer will be induced and so influenced that he'll book his tickets and make his reservations right away!
Similarly, for heritage tours, one can have an app that is inspired by and designed like a treasure hunt! Imagine an otherwise mundane city 'darshan' / tour brought to life with a little imagination where the tourists in different buses are pitted against each other in a race akin to a treasure hunt! For instance, let us assume that Mrs Namrata & Ms Shalini have clicked on to the app. Now, they're given the option of outwitting each other and winning free passes to the latest water park in town. The app gives them clues akin to a treasure hunt and in the course of the race, they almost experience the city first hand, a decidedly tasty bait for them to make reservations and pack their bags. What's more, the same app can be replicated on ground and gifts handed out to the winning team. This will easily add the much-desired zing to plain heritage tours or city sightseeing experiences!
Having already spoken of places where the wild things are – of Nature's bounty as it were – and of man-made heritages and city-walks, it's a good idea to take a swim with the dolphins and sea-turtles off exotic costs and picture-postcard islands. Yes, when we talk of coastal tours, what is almost always missed out is the crucial bait that makes potential tourists opt for one beach over the others. Look at Goa for instance. What is it that makes this tiny state the party capital of India? Cheap booze? Wrong! There's cheaper liquor available elsewhere in the country. Is it the beaches? Nine out of ten times, Goa's famed beaches will leave one underwhelmed. The answer, it'd appear is a quagmire – a cultural heritage that's as un-Indian as it gets, locals who make a career out of lethargy, a strong PR and Bollywood's go-to destination for all things sinful! Which is precisely why while a honeymooning couple might choose it, a couple travelling with kids would prefer the serenity of Pondicherry. And while Goa is top-of-mind while selecting a beach vacation, quainter places like Pondicherry and Daman are slowly moving up the line too. So yes, the point is to remain a little enigmatic and a little exotic in order to be that much more attractive to the discerning traveller. So to say, advertise by all means but be clear about your USP. And play it to the galleries.

The final results of Markit's U.S. manufacturing PMI survey are out.
The report's headline index fell to 55.5 in March from February's 57.1 reading, in line with a preliminary estimate published by Markit a week ago. Market economists, however, expected the index to stage a smaller drop to 56.0.
Table 1 displays changes in the index's various sub-components.
"The fall in the composite Manufacturing PMI masks the ongoing resilience of output, new orders and employment growth, all of which continued to rise at historically strong rates in March," said Chris Williamson, chief economist at Markit, in the release.
"That's because the PMI also includes a measure of supplier delivery times, which dragged the PMI down but only because deliveries were quicker as a result of improved weather. The survey indicates that factory output growth has picked up again after the weather-related disruptions seen at the start of the year, presenting policymakers with an encouraging picture of a healthy goods- producing sector that is generating jobs at the rate of 15-20,000 per month."

I thought it was a prank at first but when I got the second email I was pretty excited it was the real deal.
