FRISCO, Texas – With captain Didier Drogba leading the way, the Ivory Coast shook off a poor performance against Bosnia-Herzegovina, and despite some sluggish moments, did what they needed to do to beat a young El Salvador side in front of an impassioned crowd of 18,578 at Toyota Stadium Wednesday night.
The Elephants ultimately won by a score of 2-1, but the effort was more labored than the West Africans would have preferred. The Ivoreans were forced to hold off a late push from the Central Americans after a 75th minute goal.
The first goal came before even 10 minutes were played as Drogba fed Gervinho in behind the Salvador defense for an easy finish. The pair teamed up again in the 42nd minute, this time with Drogba getting the finish.
El Salvador's goal came after Kolo Toure was called for a foul on Orlando City player Darwin Ceren in the Ivory Coast penalty area. Former FC Dallas and Real Salt Lake player Arturo Alvarez made the most of the chance, confidently putting it into the side netting. The finish inspired the mostly El Salvador crowd for the rest of the match.
Ivory Coast is preparing for their World Cup effort that starts on June 14 against Japan. Drogba's side is considered one of the stronger sides from Africa and is expected to contend for advancement out of the group that also includes South American power Colombia, as well as Greece.
El Salvador brought a very young side, with the oldest player for the team being the goal scorer Alvarez, in preparation for the upcoming Copa Centroamericano and the following World Cup qualification effort for the 2018 World Cup in Russia.

Wisconsin bill could force closure of poor-performing schools
The latest version of a school accountability bill before a Wisconsin state Senate committee would force poor-performing public schools to close or reopen as charter schools.
The measure, which has been rewritten since it was first introduced in September and which is up for a vote Thursday, would also assign letter grades for the first time to public schools based on their performance and require testing for taxpayer-subsidized students at private voucher schools.
The changes would take effect in the 2015 school year.
The Republican-authored bill would also prohibit the lowest-performing schools from enrolling new voucher students, the Wisconsin State Journal reported Tuesday (http://tiny.cc/releax ). Participating private schools also could test all students for accountability purposes.
"We're going to start holding anybody who gets public money accountable for getting results. That is the bottom line," said Sen. Luther Olsen, R-Ripon, chairman of the Senate Education Committee, which plans to vote on the bill Thursday. Olsen said he hoped the full Senate would vote on it Feb. 11.
Olsen has been working on the bill for months, but it's unclear whether the changes will satisfy Gov. Scott Walker and Republicans in the Assembly. Walker's spokesman, Tom Evenson, had no comment on the details of the latest version. He reiterated that the governor hopes to sign an accountability bill into law this year.
Likewise, Assembly Speaker Robin Vos, R-Rochester, wants to take up an accountability bill this session, but spokeswoman Kit Beyer didn't offer an opinion on the latest proposal.
A spokesman for Republican Senate Majority Leader Scott Fitzgerald said he would wait to see what happens in committee before saying when it would come up for a vote.
The latest bill raised concerns from Betsy Kippers, a Racine teacher who is also president of the Wisconsin Education Association Council, the statewide teachers union. She said the bill had "fingerprints of the voucher and privately run charter lobbyists are all over this."
The president of School Choice Wisconsin, a group that advocates for voucher schools, did not immediately return a message Tuesday seeking comment. A spokesman for the state Department of Public Instruction also did not immediately return a message.
Among the changes, schools would receive letter grades on an A-F grading scale, rather than the current five phrases ranging from "significantly exceeds expectations" to "fails to meet expectations."
Under the proposal, public schools that receive an F for three consecutive years, or a combination of Ds and Fs with weak growth scores for five consecutive years, would be closed or turned over to a private charter management organization. Eligible organizations would have to operate existing charter schools with better test results than district schools.
Public charter schools with similar poor performance would have their charters revoked and wouldn't be allowed to participate in the voucher program if they reopen as private schools.
Private voucher schools that don't perform would not be allowed to accept new students or reopen as charter schools. But those schools would have the option of having students take the state test or a different one.

After drastic cuts, NH gov proposes big boost in funding for higher education
CONCORD, N.H. (AP) — New Hampshire's public colleges and universities are among the biggest winners under the budget proposal laid out by Gov. Maggie Hassan.
Hassan told lawmakers Wednesday that she wants to spend $75 million on the state university system in fiscal year 2014 and $90 million the following year. That would bring funding back to almost what it was in 2011, before the Republican-led Legislature slashed the amount nearly in half.
Hassan also proposes $83 million over two years for community colleges, and $4 million for need-based scholarships that could be used at private and public universities.
The leaders of the university system — UNH, Keene State, Plymouth State and Granite State College — say they will ask their trustees to freeze instate tuition for two years if their funding is restored.

squid fries during the 2012 Cortez Commercial Fishing Festival. BRADENTON HERALD FILE PHOTO
Sure, Manatee County continued to make headlines for such Florida weirdness as human flesh eating and school teacher Facebook gaffes.
But the Bradenton area also managed to bring plenty of attention to its vibrant arts and entertainment scene.
Not a week or so went by this year without a winning show, major festival or $6.2 million project opening.
There was always something to get excited about; something that made me happy, and, yes, proud, to be a resident of Bradenton.
Another perk?
Many of these great events were free.
To celebrate, here's a month-by-month look back at the biggest and best Manatee County entertainment events of 2012.
The forever fun Manatee County Fair (Jan. 12-22): The 96th edition of the Manatee County Fair proved to be another fun affair filled with everything from live country music to livestock to midway madness. My favorite part? Enjoying the various sights, sounds and smells with the amazing woman who recently became my wife.
Cortez Commercial Fishing Festival turns 30 (Feb. 18-19): The 30th anniversary of the Cortezians' signature event was another sunny celebration along Sarasota Bay featuring an abundance of fresh seafood by our favorite restaurants like Ocean Harvest (see photo) plus homegrown music and clog dancing.
'Voice' finalist at Village of the Arts (March 2): The Village of the Arts' monthly ArtWalk enjoyed an extra boost when blues artist Beverly McClellan, who finished in the top four as part of Christina Aguilera's team during the first season of NBC's "The Voice," played a free show at the Blues Revue office on 11th Avenue.
Tyrese headlines Rib Fest in Palmetto (April 15): He played Sgt. Robert Epps in the "Transformers" franchise and returned as Roman Pearce in "Fast Five" after originating the role in "2 Fast 2 Furious." First-name-only star Tyrese then returned to music and released "Open Invitation," which shot to the top 10 on the Billboard 200 not too long before he closed the Gulfcoast Rhythm & Ribfest at the Manatee County Fairgrounds.

In our recent "Tour Staff Contest", we asked you to tell us why we suck. Ask and you shall receive! You guys definitely let us know what we need to do to improve, and we appreciate it honestly. Many of you told us we suck because we don't cover much in the way of golf course reviews. Well, today we're giving you what you asked for…a killer golf course review. And you know it wouldn't be MyGolfSpy if we didn't come up with a scoring system that breaks it down in such fine detail that when your done reading this review you know exactly what your getting or won't be getting from a particular golf course. So let us know what you think, think we should do more? do less? do something different? add something you think would be helpful for other golfers? or maybe scrap the whole damn idea. At the end of the day it is up to you.
(Written By: GolfSpy Matt) Quick, what's the first name that comes to mind if I say, "Chicago golf course"? I suspect that the majority of people, Chicagoans or not, would say either Medinah or Cog Hill because of their frequent appearances as PGA Tour venues. But does that mean that these are the best courses in Chicago? Not by a long shot. I submit to you, my friends, that whether you're a local or just in town for one round, The Glen Club in Glenview, Illinois is the must-play course in Chicago, and if you read on, I'll let you in on why that's so.
As always, I suggest that you take a quick peek at my Course Review Rubric before reading on. I think it's important to understand what I'm grading in each category and what the different scores mean to me.
Course Conditions
The two days that I played at The Glen Club, the course was in superb condition. This is particularly noteworthy given the extreme heat and drought that we've had in Chicago this year.
For me, rating course conditions starts at the green. The greens at The Glen Club rolled smooth, fast, and true. I will admit to being a bit concerned when I walked up to the first green because there were lots of ball marks. My concerns disappeared as soon as I hit my first putt; in spite of the appearance, the greens were great.
Tee boxes, bunkers, and fairways were all similarly outstanding. To find fault with the conditions at The Glen Club, you'd really have to look hard.
Score: 9.5/10
The reality of building a golf course in or around Chicago is that you have to contend with, and try to block out, one of the largest metropolitan areas in the country. Not a small order, but Tom Fazio uses elevation brilliantly to keep the focus on the beauty of the course. Can you see houses from the course? Yes, a couple of holes run alongside a neighborhood, and, if you're looking for it, you can see development from many holes. However, if you're looking at the shot in front of you, the surrounding area rarely interrupts your view.
While it can't completely isolate you from the surrounding area, The Glen Club is without a doubt one of the prettiest courses in Chicago.
Score: 8.5/10
Customer Service/Guest Experience
From the time I got to The Glen Club until I left, everyone associated with the course greeted me with a smile, a "Sir," and the intention of making my time there comfortable.
When I pulled up to The Glen Club, there were multiple employees waiting at the bag drop to take my bag from my car and load it onto a golf cart. They even got us checked in so that we could go straight to the range. Those same gentlemen were there when we finished our round to clean our clubs and make sure that everything had been satisfactory.
The one individual who really put the customer service element over the top was the starter. He had great control of the putting green/first tee area: he knew who was there, when they should be starting, and he kept everything running very smoothly. He was also happy to offer advice about the course, though was not pushy about it. When one of the players in our group realized that he didn't have a wet towel, the starter literally ran the towel into the clubhouse to wet it for him.
Score: 10/10
Overall, The Glen Club provides excellent amenities for its guests, the most impactful of which is a top quality GPS system on the carts. The GPS provides a large, full color display that shows either the entire hole or the green, depending on where you are on the hole. What makes it stand out is that you get the distance to the pin, not just to the center of the green. This is really helpful for those playing the course the first time. The GPS is so good that I actually put away my laser after the second hole, which is saying a lot for me.
With regard to refreshments, The Glen Club has a bit of a unique set up because #9 does not bring you back to the club house. Instead, there's a halfway house that you pass between #6 and #7 and then again between #14 and #15. And, of course, there's a beer cart that circulates quite quickly (I believe we saw the cart 4 times in our round).
For out-of-towners, The Glen Club's "clubhouse" is actually a hotel with a restaurant, so you really never need to leave the property.
My only negative is that the pro shop is a bit small and has primarily soft line items (shirts, hats, gloves, etc). Not that I'm necessarily one to buy a new putter or driver in a pro shop, but some people might be hoping to buy some extra yardage before they hit the course.
Score: 9/10
Practice Facilities
The Glen Club has everything you would want in a practice facility: full-length driving range, a large putting green, and a quality short game area. One of the things that stands out about The Glen Club is the quality of the golf balls: Titleist NXT's. What's great about having quality range balls is that you can actually judge how far (and what direction) you're hitting your clubs instead of just using the range as a place to warm your muscles. Another big plus: the putting green is large enough to easily accommodate two foursomes, it rolls exactly like the greens on the course, and it's located spitting distance from the first tee.
My only complaint about the practice facilities at The Glen Club is that the short game area requires a bit of a drive to get to. In fact, I didn't know it existed until I saw it from the course. In spite of that, I can confidently say that The Glen Club offers everything you need to sharpen your game before a round.
Score: 9/10
Accessibility to All Skill Levels
The Glen Club offers 4 sets of tees that play to the following distances (approximately): 5300, 6000, 6600/6700, and 7200. My gut level response to this was that they need a set of tees at 6300 or 6400 yards, but my experience there showed me that while an extra set of tees might be a good thing, they aren't truly necessary.
My first round at The Glen Club was with two golfers who are bogey golfers at best and not very long. I tried to politely suggest that they play from 6000 yards, but they insisted on playing from 6700 with me and my other friend. I thought that this would be a very long day for both of them, but both of them came off the course extremely happy.
Much of the course's length is concentrated on a few holes, so there were instances where the shorter hitters felt that a par 4 played like a par 5. However, most of the time, they had a fair, if long, shot at making a green in regulation. There are no ridiculous forced carries, and there are ample "bail out" areas for any player who wants a safe route.
One of the short hitters did admit that he would have "had a ball" at 6000 yards, but he still had a great time at 6700. This is a great credit to Tom Fazio's design and a testament to the fact that The Glen Club is accessible to all levels of golfer.
For my second trip, I played the same set of tees, but in very different weather conditions. The first round was sunny and dry, the second was wet and windy. While I played from the same tee boxes, the course was effectively well over 7,000 yards giving me a nice sense of what it would be like to play from the tips. The two primary differences are that you will have fewer options off the tee box (hitting driver is needed/wanted more often) and you will be hitting longer clubs into the greens. Even with the added length, the course is perfectly fair and everything is still put right in front of you.
Overall, as with any course, The Glen Club is best enjoyed from the correct set of tees, but it is very forgiving to those who let their ego get in the way and play too far back.
Score: 10/10
A perfect score in this category means, "Tough but fair." I can't think of a better way to describe The Glen Club. On virtually every shot, Tom Fazio shows you exactly what shot you need to hit to make birdie, and he also gives you a safe way to try to make par. Hole #11 is a perfect example. It is a long par 3 over water, and, if you want to go for the pin, it's an all-or-nothing proposition: water short and a very tough chip if you're long. However, instead of forcing the short hitters to look for the drop zone, Mr. Fazio provides a bail out area to the right of the green that gives the golfer a great angle to pitch it close for a scrambling par. To my mind, this is exactly what great course design is all about: lots of options, lots of decision making, and no one left feeling like they can't play the course.
Score: 10/10
During our round, my dad said to me, "Unless you got 8 hours of sleep and ate a good breakfast, I'm not sure how you can expect to play this course successfully. There's too much thinking involved." I think this is a great indication of the variety of holes at The Glen Club and the decision making that it demands. The course offers everything from really short par 4's to really long ones, a short, "easy" par 3 as well as a pair of beasts, and some great risk-reward par 5's.
There are a number of short par 4's where you could hit anything from driver to 7I off the tee…and not be comfortable with any of them. My favorite hole, #8, is a perfect example: at only 339 from the blue tees, it's short enough to give you options, but there's no easy shot. You can see in the picture that left is wet, so any club that you're afraid of hooking is out. If you're going to hit driver, you need to thread the needle between water left and bunkers right. A soft little iron could easily get pulled left into the trap that's short left, and any shot that's too safe and too far right makes the second shot much longer. Just describing it makes my head hurt.
Much as I love the layout (and I really do…in case that wasn't obvious), I have to stay true to my rubric and deduct half a point for the big brother/little brother similarities of the two par 3's on the back, #11 and #17. They're good holes and they vary significantly in length, but it still feels like déjà vu.
Score: 9.5/10
The cost of playing The Glen Club varies significantly throughout the year and even over the course of a day. The full rate schedule can be seen here. The short version is that it will cost you anywhere from $90 (March) to $185 for the green fee. There is an additional cost for a cart or caddy, but your green fee does include use of the driving range.
While your average Joe is not going to be able to afford The Glen Club on a weekly basis, there's no reason why it couldn't be a once-a-year treat, or somewhere you play on occasion. The varied green fees make this a reasonable proposition. So, for the locals, The Glen Club may not replace your weekly go-to course, but it should definitely be on the list of courses you play once in a while.
For the tourist, The Glen Club is a no-brainer, must-play. Compared to resort courses near Chicago and elsewhere, The Glen Club is downright affordable and there's nothing about this course that doesn't measure up with the courses the charge much much more.
Score: 9.5/10
Anyone who appreciates good golf course design will walk away from The Glen Club with fond memories of many holes. Is every single hole a postcard? No, this isn't Kapalua or Cypress Point. It's a beautiful Midwestern golf course that will leave you thinking about every decision you made, and how you might play the course differently next time…and you will want there to be a next time.
Score: 9/10
So, I'll say it again: are there courses that have "bigger" names out there? Yup, and if you're into that, more power to you. But if you're looking for the best golf course in Chicago, this is it. The layout is simply second to none: it's tough, it's fun, and it's accessible to all levels of golfers. Add in great course conditions, excellent customer service, and well-rounded amenities, and you can see why The Glen Club is an absolute winner.
Score: 94/100

Capacitive touchscreen devices function because your fingers conduct electricity and distort the screen's electrostatic field where your finger has pressed onto the screen, the device then registers this distortion as an input triggering the desired action. However when you wear gloves your fingers ability to conduct electricity is stopped meaning the so that the touch screens electrostatic field is not distorted and the action is not registered. Smart gloves have conductive finger tips allowing charge to pass through them making it possible for you to use your smart device whilst wearing the gloves!

Ellie Cashman Design® vinyl wallcovering is sturdy and durable, and is easy to clean with a damp cloth.
For Ellie, flowers of the Dutch Golden Age are symbols of our intense longing, desire, and aspiration towards beauty. Thinking about how she might apply her own hand to this subject matter, it occurred to her that she might want to do this with more softness, applying less clinical precision, and revealing more emotional vulnerability.
At the same time, by creating wallpaper from this kind of floral composition, she felt bold enough to enlarge its scale and place it into a repeating pattern, so that the power of its symbolism is amplified, and becomes capable of transforming an entire space. With A Golden Age Wallpaper, a wall, a ceiling or an entire room becomes a dramatic, romantic and large-than-life celebration of beauty – both the kind that exists already, and the kind we can create ourselves.
A Golden Age Wallpaper is available in four background colors and three scales. All color and scale combinations are possible. Initially this design was created with the Chestnut Brown background. This colorway is warm and harmonious and remains one of Ellie's favorites. We like to pair it with brown leather furniture, warm wood tones and soft textiles like sheep skins.
The smallest scale (100%) has a repeat of 97.4 cm (2 strips) wide and 127 cm high (or 38.35" w x 50" h).

Pocket T-Shirts
Sort By:
Are Tee Shirts Promotional Items for Everyone?
There are countless reasons why you might be looking for customized tee shirts. These promotional items are one of the most popular ways to advertise a brand's logo or message, to show appreciation to employees or customers, and to simply raise awareness about an organization and its mission. Any style and color of t-shirt can be branded with a logo, making your options for this versatile item as vast as your imagination itself. There are many different types of customized tee shirts: long-sleeved t-shirts, with long sleeves that extend to the wrists to cover the wearer's arms; ringer tees, with a separate piece of fabric that is usually a different color sewn on to accent the sleeve and collar hems; cropped t-shirts or halfshirts, with a high hem that typically comes to above the waistline; and pocket t shirts, with a pocket on the left breast that is large enough to hold a credit card, cash, bottlecaps, or any of a variety of promotional items. Long-sleeved t-shirts are often available in the pocket tee style as well, and a number of variations on these main styles include baseball tees, henleys, and even sleeveless types of customized tee shirts.
Effective Branding with Custom Pocket T Shirts
Have you ever been at a sporting event where a mascot or representative of your favorite team (or perhaps their opponent) has used a tee shirt gun to blast promotional t-shirts at fans in the crowd? You might have even seen a fight break out over a particularly interesting or high-quality tee during a customized tee shirts giveaway. In reality, fans were fighting over the opportunity to plaster a logo onto their chest, providing the brand whose imprint appeared on the shirt with some great, low-cost advertising: every brand's dream. Indeed, there is no easier way for your company or organization to get its message out into the world than by distributing free customized tee shirts to individuals on the sidewalk, at an event, or in return for some personal information; you will find that people are more than willing to give up their e-mail address for complimentary promotional products or apparel. You might also decide to distribute customized tee shirts imprinted with your brand's logo and message as a gift with purchase to customers, or to make it a part of an incentive program to improve customer loyalty and increase the likelihood of a return visit to your brick and mortar location or even your website. Customized tee shirts are typically a lightweight item, so mailing them to the winner of a contest you hold online to increase buzz surrounding your brand on the Internet does not have to occur at a sizable added cost, and by sending individuals around the country and even the world a customized tee shirt you'll be implementing an effective national or global marketing campaign that will be worn and seen by real people.

He was an outstanding president of the Pápa community for decades.
He was a beloved student of R. Lipót Lőw, who served here between 1846-49. When Lőw was already in Szeged, they continued to correspond to each other in Hebrew for a long time. The great rabbi called him ba'al dikduk.
When Salamon Breuer, later the rabbi of Frankfurt, was in Pápa, Adolf Lőwenstein, at the time already holding the post of community president became a most devoted follower of this intransigent orthodox rabbi.
On one occasion the so-called enlightened members of the community achieved majority in a coup, so to say, and gave the rabbi notice. They were afraid that his strictly religious ideals would hinder the realization of their liberal ideas. Adolf Lőwenstein led a deputation to minister Trefort, who reinstated Rabbi Breuer in office, under the influence of Lőwenstein's convincing arguments. It was rightfully stated by Rabbi Breuer about Lőwenstein that the Pápa community president would measure up to the job in Paris as well!
He was an educated man and a strictly religious Jew. However, he wore boots and Hungarian attire. (Why not? If Polish chassids were allowed to wear the rabbit-skin headgear of Polish nobility, who would forbid the president of the Pápa community, breathing the very spirit of the Hungarian War of Independence, to wear Hungarian attire?)
His wife, the admired Rezl Lőwenstein, was a model for pious Jewish women (her grandmother Rochl Tevel founded the first Association of Jewish Women) practising the mitzvah of matan beseter: when a needy customer visited her flour shop she put the money back into the flour bag of the poor man.
In his last will, Adolf Lőwenstein donated a fund for feeding 10 Catholic, 10 Protestant and 10 Jewish destitutes on his Yahrzeit, on condition that after the meal the Jews would read out the whole Birkat hamazon from the book.
At his funeral, there were six hajdús [bailiffs the translator] with drawn swords, accompanying his coffin.
He brought up his children in a cultured, strictly religious spirit. His son Jakab fulfilled the post of gabbai at the community for decades. One of his daughters married Dezső Korein, a committee member and a writer, the founder and the president of the National Shomrei Shabbat Association.
His daughter Janka married Vilmos Steiner, the descendent of a famous family in Gyömöre, who was the community president at Pápa for 20 years. His son-in-law Emil Gestettner headed the Pápa yeshiva.
His third daughter married Zsigmond Steiner, a highly respected wholesaler and she presided over the Hachnasat Kalah Association until her death. Head of the strictly religious family, Zsigmond Steiner, saved one-tenth of his income for charity. His surviving descendants still respectfully preserve his box for the maaser.
His memory is cherished in love and respect by his grandchildren: Sándor Lőwenstein (published several memoirs about life in Pápa), his sister Sári, Irma Steiner, the spouse of David Breuer, and László Korein, all of them living in Israel, and Emil Korein, living in South America.
And we, the Jews of Pápa, remember our famous rashekol with reverence and blessing.
befitting the rank of Pápa community presidents, served as such for 10 years.
For him it was not a post, the means of showing off; on the contrary, it meant an opportunity for him to notice concealed poverty and modest distress in the community, which he was appointed to lead by a consensus of general respect and unanimous love. He was a Jew in the Biblical sense; his pious religiousity was most profound. His father was the president of the Shiur Association for decades. He gave more than the compulsory maaser of his assets. Charity was the focal point of his life. His goodness was supported by a worthy helper in everything; his spouse, who was the younger sister of Dr. Samu Lasz, a Kolozsvár High School principal.
A great blow, the tragic loss of their only daughter together with their young grandchild, broke the parents' hearts and at the same time raised them to the height of human greatness. They saved other people from suffering, this was their only solace.
Everyone who knew him loved him.
[Page 42]
It was formed simultaneously with the community in 1749. In the beginning they buried their dead at Német-Tevel, a small town nearby, which at that time was a fairly large community with a rabbi. Then they had burial plots inside the Roman Catholic cemetery in Pápa, at the Calvary. Later on land for burial plots was purchased to set up a cemetery at the end of Hosszú Utca (now Jókai Utca), so the Jews buried at the Calvary were disinterred and moved to the new cemetery. This explains the fact that we can find here tombstones older than the cemetery itself. Rabbi Horovitz and Rabbi Rapaport were buried here, as well as the the ancestors and other relatives of native Pápa Jews. The cemetery is also visited by those Jews who eventually moved far away from Pápa, for the purpose of fulfilling the mitzva of Kever Avot At Tisha Beav, after finishing the Kinoth at 11, Chevra Kadisha officials took the carriages waiting for them in front of the temple and came here in order to send their prayers to Heaven from the graves of the holy men.
The grandfather of the Hungarian G. B. Shaw, Frigyes Karinthy, is also found here, in this old cemetery: Mr. Kohn was a watchmaker and umbrella repairer, living in a humble flat in the courtyard of the Ókollégium [Old Protestant High School Ed.].
At the time of the great plague of Pápa (the history of which was recorded by Dr. Móric Feitel, the head physician of Pápa) two orphans got married at the cemetery under a chupa set up over a grave, in the presence of the whole community. Their story came down to us by word of mouth, unfortunately failing to record the name of the young couple, for the sake of historical accuracy. It used to be mentioned as a fact that after the wedding, the dangerous plague weakened and eventually stopped completely.
We must record with regret that the mortuary was sold by the National Bureau of Israelites (Orsz. Izr. Iroda) to a non-Jew, who demolished the building, which should have been considered a historic monument, and the valuable frescos were lost.
At the end of the 19th century the cemetery got filled up completely, so there was a need for new burial plots. Two Hungarian acres of land were purchased for the purpose of the cemetery not far from the old one, next to the Calvinist cemetery. The inscription over the mortuary expressed the hope of resurrection:
Maintainance of the cemetery set a difficult task for Chevra Kadisha officials. The problem of tombstone inscriptions triggered a nationwide dispute. The original Hebrew inscriptions were followed by German, later by Hungarian ones. Among rhymed epitaphs a special place is occupied by the ones in Hebrew, written by Reb Kive Schreiber, Reb Yosef-Leb Neumann, and Chevra secretary Stern, where by connecting the first letters of the lines read out the name of the deceased. On the tomb-stone of Dr. Iván Katona, who died young, and Dr. Lipót Koritschoner, Chief County Attorney, you can read their own poem:
October lights, you can go on flirting,
Frail human beings, we are to be pitied,
Whose lamenting souls, torn to bits and pieces,
Beg for solace the October lights.
You can also find here some epitaphs by the poet, Rabbi Dr. Arnold Kiss, the chief rabbi of Buda.
|Rabbinnical graves in the Pápa cemetery
|Ohel over the grave of R. Yechezkiel Grünwald
All the following persons were buried in this cemetery: Moshe Arye Róth, chief rabbi Sámuel Gottlieb, Moshe Link, dayan Zvi Eckstein, and R. Yechezkiel Grünwald, whose grave had been covered by an ohel, built by his followers. A separate monument marks the place of burial of the Torah scrolls desecrated by the Nazis.
At the entrance to the cemetery there is a notice board of Chevra officials, calling on family members of the dead to plant only green plants on the graves, not flowers
|A monument marks the place of burial of
the Torah scrolls desecrated by the Nazis
The Chevra Kadisha in the year of its foundation set up a Jewish hospital, preceding by nine years the hospital of the Brothers of Mercy. It was located in Ispotály (now Eötvös) utca, on the ground floor of the Chevra building; in two rooms there were beds for 4 male and 4 female patients. Later on the hospital was transferred to a building raised especially for this purpose in Korona Utca, where the number of patients was around 30-40. First kórházas Róth was the caretaker of the hospital [kórház means hospital in Hungarian], later on followed by kórházas Schiffer, whose wife was a true guardian angel for patients. Patients were treated by Pápa Jewish doctors free of charge. The Chevra Kadisha fulfilled their sacred task, and carried out the disposal of the dead according to strict rules. These minhagim should be recorded, as remembered by our friend, Sándor Lőwenstein:
On occasion of yetziat haneshama (departure of the soul) Binyamin Zev Baum visited Chevra officials, one by one, calling on each Yüd Alef in Hebrew and German. If it happened at night, he humbly knocked at the window and reported the case. The book Mavor Yabok must always be at its appointed place so that they could find it easily in darkness as well. (This is a prayer book dealing with burial rituals, popularly called Mayver Yabok.) The dying person was first visited by a Chevra member to see if he was conscious. Then other members entered. They prayed from Mavor Yabok. Near the end of the agony, they lit a candle with a green end. The candles were distributed at the entrance of the temple, at Zayin Adar, and the officials received braided havdala candles. When the dying person asked for it, they recited together with him the Viduy confession..
Caring for the dead was called mesasek sein, (mitasek, caring for, in Hebrew). Only Chevra officials were allowed to participate in the preparation of the coffin; in exceptional cases male family members were also invited. At the tahara (the ritual washing of the dead) the president of the Chevra offered the honour to individual officials to participate in the washing. Before the burial, Mr. Breiner went around the town. He wore a lightweight black cape over his suit and a black top-hat with the letters חק standing for Chevra Kadisha, holding a collecting box bearing the name of the dead and the time of the funeral. He knocked at each and every Jewish house, announcing mes mitzvo, and when the charity was dropped into the collecting box, he said good-bye with the words tzedoko tatzil mimoves, charity saves you from death. The burial took place at a prescribed time. The dead were carried on shoulders all the way to the cemetery. It was an honour, as demonstrated by the fact that those who committed suicide were taken on a wagon.. In front of the mortuary, they stopped three times, placing the coffin on the ground. From here, they carried the dead in their hands. They placed a sand-bag called Erdzekl, under the head of the dead. The bag was filled with sand with an upturned hand, and ground from Eretz Yisrael was added for the righteous. There was no board under the head of the barminan, the deceased. The first shovel of earth was thrown by the president of the Chevra, followed by the officials, then by the family. They took special care not to hand over the shovel; it had to be thrown down and picked up by the next in line. There was no chazan accompanying the procession, and no El Male Rachamim said during the burial. On the eyes and mouth of the deceased so called sharbelach were placed, while in his hand they put a two-pronged, fork-like branch, as a symbol of resurrection.
Breaking off the review of burial customs, let us insert a memoir by Gyula Láng in connection with the latter minhag:
Marcheshvan 28. Feelings of pain awaken in me. Six decades had passed since then, nevertheless the memory of the sad day stayed with me. I can see my father, a 52 year-old, fine figure of a man, cheerful, everybody's beloved Uncle Náci. In his free time he used his expertise in doing woodwork, using the fretsaw, drawing sketches. We turned to him with a mixture of awe and curiosity:
-Dad, what are you preparing?
-You will find out in a couple of days.
A hidden tear was shining in his eye and he went on drawing letters. In a clandestine manner, the work was getting ready - no other Jews ever did the same, preparing like this. I know that others think of death as well, some buy their graves in advance, others get their funeral clothes ready. But you Dad, on the other hand, cut out with the saw yourself the gepelach and kneaded the clay for the sharbelach.
Our burial rite includes a simple, rough wooden coffin, white funeral clothes without pockets, a two-pronged, fork-like piece of wood to place in the hand of the deceased (called gepelach because it is like a fork), and shards (popularly called sharbelach) for the mouth and the eyes.
While he was cutting with the saw, drawing and creating, his hand and his vision were driven by the fever of his illness and his inspiration, his heartbeat was throbbing in the lifeless wood. He was contemplating death; it was painful for his soul to leave his spouse and four young children. His piety breathed the letters on the carved, smoothly polished forks:
|Two wooden forks for the time of the resurrection,
to make it easier to rise to the last trumpet.
|Clay on the eyes, what he saw, he shouldn't.
Close his lips the seal of silence
Only pure belief in God could radiate towards him the words that he drew on the other piece of wood:
I fully believe in the resurrection of the dead!
What self-control, artistic inspiration, holy feeling came over the man at the zenith of his life, kneading the clay, shaping it nice and round, and painting the holiest confession on the clay for closing the eye:
So that when the lips cannot move anymore to praise the glory of God, even then he would have the crop he had made himself over the lips, proclaiming: Blessed is the Name of His glorious kingdom for all eternity
Let us return to funeral rituals. Eulogies were rarely given in Pápa; there were no burial chants or wreaths on the coffin. There were eulogies only for outstanding persons. However, when 90 year-old, bent uncle Marton toured the town with the collection box, he was reciting tzedoko tatzil mimoves in such a harrowing voice that it, in fact, substituted for the eulogy, because no eye stayed dry at the sound of the trembling words from the lips of the old man, tzedoko tatzil mimoves
During the shivah, minyan was held at the mourners' house. If there was no minyan on Friday night, the mourner went to the temple and prayed in the hall until the Lecha dodi. After Boi Vshalom, the chazan turned back and said likras ovel, then the mourner passed along the benches and the community recited the usual consolation: Hamokaym yenachem eschem, May the Omnipresent comfort you among other mourners of Zion and Jerusalem. The rabbi or the dayan left his prayer-niche in order to approach the mourner
The Chevra Kadisha organized its annual feast at Rosh Chodesh Nisan. This is how it was reported by Yeda Am, a folklore periodical published in Israel:
First, the rabbi eulogized those who died during the year. In the Chevra room, a coffin was placed with a shovel and a rope used for burial next to it. Earlier they held the feast for the young, called the melachim those serving at the the table were dressed as coffin bearers who were obligated to drink wine that had been poured over a comb used at the tahara.
At night they had the feast for senior Chevra members in an intimate atmosphere, at the end of which they drank krampampuli, a very special kind of brandy that they were supposed to drink sitting on the floor, singing zmirot, religious songs...
After the Shoah, the holy activities of the Chevra came to an end. Bila hamavet lanetzach There was no more Jewish life at Pápa, there was no more death either. Only the cemetery, the world of the dead proclaim that some time ago, maybe not so long ago, there had been such a prospering Jewish life here No longer It was finished

Gov. Jon Corzine's commissioner for the state Department of Health & Senior Services over the last two years of his term was long-time aide Heather Howard, who is not a medical doctor.
Howard was the first person without a medical degree to run the DHSS since Christine Grant, the commissioner between 1999 and 2001. Since then, the department was headed by Drs. George DiFerdinando Jr., Clifton Lacy and Fred Jacobs, until Howard's appointment in January 2008.
And if you think that distinction didn't matter to the state's doctors, here's yesterday's statement from Medical Society of New Jersey president Dr. Joseph Reichman about Gov. Chris Christie's nomination of Dr. Poonam Alaigh — a board certified internist with a specialty in vascular diseases who has been working as executive director at Horizon Blue Cross Blue Shield of New Jersey and previously was national medical director for GlaxoSmithKline, the pharmaceutical company.
"Our organization is delighted to learn that Dr. Alaigh, a physician, was named to the commissioner's post. New Jersey, along with the rest of the country, is facing its fair share of public health dilemmas and it is comforting to know that we will have a medical doctor in charge — someone who is well-versed in vaccine-preventable diseases, disease management and understands the issues relating to health care in the Garden State."
"We thank the governor for entrusting a seat in his cabinet to one of our own."

Jay Leno: "Well, this is Barack's third day in the Middle East, and President Bush says he has no timetable for bringing him back home."
Jay Leno: "John McCain called a press conference today. Unfortunately, all the press were out of the country covering Obama."
Jay Leno: "You know, you've got to feel kind of sorry for McCain. I mean, all day on TV, they show nothing but footage of Barack Obama touring the Middle East, being with the troops in Afghanistan, meeting with troops in Iraq. The only time I saw McCain on TV was when Willard Scott wished him a happy birthday on the 'Today' show."
Jay Leno: "A lot of people think to take some of the spotlight off of Barack Obama, that John McCain will announce his vice presidential choice this week. And most people think it's going to be Mitt Romney. … See, I don't know" about that, because "when Romney and McCain stand together, doesn't it look like one of those slick Countrywide lenders trying to trick your grandfather into a reverse mortgage?"
Jay Leno: "And yesterday, President Bush gave the US Olympic Team a rousing sendoff to the Olympics. Again, I don't think President Bush is that up on geography. Like, he told the athletes to get there a couple of days early to acclimate themselves to the fact that China is upside down."
David Letterman: "Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi is calling the Bush presidency 'a total failure.' … I think he's done okay, if you don't count Iraq, the economy, the environment, Afghanistan, the mortgage crisis," the "deficit, gas prices, Hurricane Katrina, illegal wire tapping, the national debt, tainted food, failure to catch bin Laden, CIA Leak. Other than that, I think it's been pretty good."
David Letterman: "John McCain…said" recently that Iraq and Afghanistan share a common border, and "I thought, well no wonder we can't find Osama bin Laden. We've been searching an imaginary border.'"

The Fort Lewis College softball team opened the season with a pair of losses at the annual Desert Stinger tournament in Las Vegas.
The Skyhawks lost 18-2 to Western Washington in a five-inning opener.
FLC rallied in the second game, taking an early lead before falling to Grand Canyon University of Phoenix 11-3 in brutally cold conditions in Nevada.
It was so cold. I felt sorry for the girls, FLC head coach Kira Zeiter said.
The final score (in the second game) did not reflect how close the game was, Zeiter said.
FLC took a 3-0 lead over Grand Canyon, but the Antelopes rallied for the win on a game-ending grand slam.
In the opener, Western Washington jumped out quickly, amassing 14 runs in the first inning, 10 of them charged to FLC starting pitcher Kassie Haubert (0-1), who failed to record an out.
Katie Watkins came on in relief and surrendered eight runs on 11 hits in five innings.
Haubert came back and pitched a complete game against Grand Canyon.
Chelsea Rodriguez drove in both runs for FLC (0-1) with a fifth-inning double in the opener.
Alexie Levin drove in three runs and scored a pair with two hits for Western Washington (4-5). Jordan Walley homered as part of a 2-for-2 afternoon for the Vikings while scoring twice and driving in a pair of runs.
FLC will play West Texas A&M and Central Washington on Saturday at the Desert Stinger in Las Vegas.

Race-Tech exhaust range was the first series of silencers designed with the new diamond-shaped section.
This design replaced (quite completely, but not at all) in the past years the older silencers sections, oval and cylindrical. The advanced profile (looks like a diamond, with smooth corners) makes it possible to reduce dimensions with respect to an exhaust with a more traditional shape and with an equivalent section surface. This feature is important in reducing weight and dimensions, increasing the internal volume with excellent advantages in noise damping and high performance. Internal structure is generally made in stainless steel, TIG welding. The internal parts, the sections, the exit pipe and the rear endcap are designed to allow for the smoother flow of exhaust gases possible reducing back-pressure-generated losses.
Race-Tech silencers are available in titanium, carbon fiber and aluminum. Aluminum is available in 3 different finishes: transparent anodized, black anodized ("Dark" version) and white painted ("White" version). Rear endcap is available in stainless steel or in carbon fiber.
Race-Tech silencers are available in a street legal version with removable baffle.

In 1928, Dan Hornsby, an Atlanta musician, wrote and recorded the song, �The Shelby Disaster,� about the collapse of First National Bank Building in Shelby. Recently his granddaughter, Nikki Hornsby, who is also a musician, was asked by curators of The Grammy Museum to contribute her grandfather's memorabilia for its year long Columbia Records display.
In 1928, Dan Hornsby, an Atlanta musician, wrote and recorded the song, �The Shelby Disaster,� about the collapse of First National Bank Building in Shelby. Recently his granddaughter, Nikki Hornsby, who is also a musician, was asked by curators of The Grammy Museum to contribute her grandfather's memorabilia for its year long Columbia Records display.
The Grammy Museum, located in Los Angeles, is an interactive museum that explores and celebrates the legacies of all forms of music; the creative process; the art and technology of the recording process; and the history of the Grammy Awards.
Although Nikki Hornsby never met her grandfather, she inherited his collection of 78s and documents from her father. She is also a singer-songwriter, musician, recording artist and record label owner.
Her grandfather was named to the Atlanta Country Music Hall of Fame and his music is also known in Europe.
Dan Hornsby was a singer, songwriter, musician, recording artist, engineer, producer, talent scout, A&R man for Columbia Records, as well as a radio personality. He discovered many talented artists, including Bessie Smith, and recorded them for Columbia / Bluebird Records.
Along with Dan Hornsby's Columbia Records, Nikki Hornsby donated posters from the 30s to the Grammy Museum exhibit. The artifacts include records from family friend Jimmy Van Heusen and Frank Sinatra in 78s. Also donated were rare Bessie Smith and many Harry James Columbia Recordings along with out takes from Bing Crosby and more.
Dan Hornsby played trumpet and sang with various dance bands in Atlanta in the 1920s. Hornsby formed his basic group, Dan Hornsby Quartet: Perry Bechtel (banjo, guitar and baritone), Taylor Flanagan (piano and high tenor), Sterlin Melvin (guitar and bass guitar) and Dan Hornsby (lead singer and arranger).
The Atlanta Baking Company asked Hornsby to do a show on WSM Radio in Atlanta. The group name changed to Bamby Baker Boys and Hornsby became the first commercial performer of the WSB radio station, which started airing in 1922. His pleasant disposition and sense of humor earned him a nickname, �Cheerful Dan.�
Dan Hornsby�s performance on radio was noticed by Columbia Records - the oldest record company. His main role was a sort of talent scout, but he had many roles at Columbia Records during the 1920s and early 1930s, including production of his own recordings like �On Mobile Bay� and �I Want A Girl� or with Young Brothers Tennessee Band: �Are you from Dixie� and �Bill Bailey, won�t you please come home,� �Oh! Susanna,� �Little Brown Jug,� and other classic American songs. For example, Hornsby was the first recorded voice of the �Arkansas Traveler� and was the producer of the first recording of �You Are My Sunshine� and �Take me out to the Ballgame!�
Listen to the song:
The song was recorded on Oct. 23, 1928, 56 days after the event which occurred in Shelby. Six people died and twelve were injured.
The Shelby Disaster:
From "Our Heritage: A History of Cleveland County," published by The Star in 1976
"Possibly the major disaster to hit Shelby came on Aug. 28, 1928, when the Frist National Bank of Shelby, a grocery store and a tailor shop collapsed and killed six persons. With some $30,000 damages in property loss, however, The Clevleand Star of the day noted that insurance covered none of the damaged buildings because of the nature of the damage which appeared to be a structural fault. The building which actually fell, damaging two other adjoining buildings, was Goode's Grocery on West Warren Street. Miss Katherine Carpenter, a bank clerk, considered herself to have experienced miraculous protection because she had not only been on vacation when the bank collapsed but had also experienced safety from an earlier disaster, a fire in the old three-story Central Hotel which burned on Feb. 28 of that year. She had moved out several days before the tragic fire which claimed three lives and injured many persons."


text: All i hear is if we lose to the broncos that we will be exposed as a bad team, but if the broncos lose then they are still a good team that just happened to be beat by a team with a winning record. Also if we win we only beat a team that has yet to beat any team over a .500 record so we are still not a good team. Its like the talking heads will spin anything around to make sure the nation knows we are a "bad" team. I say eff em all. GO CHIEFS!!!

After a few weeks it became quite apparent to Dave and then to myself, that I was addicted to sugar. Soon after that it was more than apparent, it was glaring. Each time I ate a processed carb (whole wheat bread, brown rice, oatmeal) I began to have horrendous cravings for sugars and processed carbs and again would begin to gain weight. I found that by eating a processed carb meal within 30 minutes of my workout, along with a fair amount of protein, I would not gain weight and I would be able to recover for my next workout. The protein along with the carb did not cause a spike of insulin and a crash, but a slow steady flow. I could eat one processed carb meal a day without gaining weight. Dave then suggested I purchase the book Paleo Eating For Athletes. With Dave guiding me through the Elite Mastery Program at Leanness Lifestyle and by eating Paleo for Athletes, I was able to lose the fat that I had gained.
Inside of this book I found scientific information to explain to me why eating the way that I was (one processed carb meal post workout) was allowing me to lose weight and to recover quickly.
I trimmed the 26 pounds from my body that I had gained, I was able to run many more races and workouts and able to recover quickly for the next run. This year I have run better than I ever have. This is a product of recovering from training, running at a lighter weight and being stronger than ever, all from changing my diet. It has to be, doesn't it?
In talking with one of my clients last week I was surprised to learn that she had never heard of Paleo, nor of Paleo Eating for Athletes. I wanted to post a "cliff notes" version to begin this conversation so you all know what it is I am referring to.
Here is a version from Joe Friel (world renowned endurance triathlete..author of Triathletes Training Bible, Going Long, as well as co-author of Paleo Eating for Athletes and many others).
Although it is now the 21 st century, athletes still have Old Stone
Age (Paleolithic) bodies. There has been no significant change in the human genome in the past 10,000 years. Physiologically speaking, we are still Paleolithic athletes.
The optimal foods are those that we have been eating for most of our time on Earth—more than 4 million years. Only in the last 10,000 years, a mere blink of the eye relative to our species' existence, have we been eating non optimal foods. Unfortunately, these foods comprise the bulk of what western society eats today and include such foods as
grains, dairy and legumes. Given that our bodies have not changed, we are simply not well adapted to these non optimal foods and they moderate health and peak performance.
stages of daily eating relative to exercise.
carbohydrates at least two hours prior to a hard or long workout or race. There may also be some fat and protein in this meal. All foods should be low in fiber. Take in 200 to 300 calories for every hour remaining until exercise begins. If eating two hours prior is not possible, then take in 200 or so calories 10 minutes before the workout or race begins. *Hammergel or Hammerheed*
Stage II: Eating During Exercise
During long or hard workouts and races you will need to take in high glycemic index carbohydrates mostly in the form of fluids. Sports drinks are fine for this. Find one that you like the taste of and will drink willingly. Realize that events lasting less than about an hour (including warmup)
don't require any carbohydrate. Water will suffice for these. A starting point for deciding how much to take in is 200 to 400 calories per
hour modified according to body size, experience and the nature of the exercise (longer events require more calories than short).
ounces of fruit juice with a banana, 3 to 5 tablespoons of glucose (such as CarboPro) depending on body size, about 3 tablespoons of protein powder, especially from egg or prior is not possible. * I usually bring Recoverite to the race venue and just shake with water, which doesn't taste too great, or blend juice, banana, Hammer Whey and bring along in a cooler from home.* This 30minute window is critical for recovery. It should be your highest priority after a hard workout or race.
1 carb -protein ratio. Now is the time to eat nonoptimal
foods such as pasta, bread, bagels, rice, corn and other foods rich in
glucose as they contribute to the necessary carbohydrate recovery process. Perhaps the perfect Stage IV foods are raisins, potatoes, sweet potatoes and yams. *This is when I eat my 1 carb meal. I bring along yams and raisins with a tuna pouch or if I am at home I'll eat an oatmeal pancake or fortified french toast.*
For the remainder of your day, or until your next Stage I, return to eating a Paleo Diet by focusing on optimal foods: low g i fruits, veggies and lean proteins, the good fats.
The macro nutrient requirement changes with the demands of the training season and so should be periodized along with training. We recommend that athletes maintain a rather consistent protein intake year round. As a percentage of total calories this will typically be in the range of 30- 35% for athletes. This is on the low end of what our
Stone Age ancestors ate due to the athlete's increased intake of carbohydrate in Stages I to IV which dilutes protein as a percentage of daily calories. On the other hand, periodization of diet produces significant and opposing swings in the athlete's fat and carbohydrate intake as the training seasons change. During the base (general preparation) period the diet shifts toward an increased intake of fat
while carbohydrate intake decreases. At this time in the season when a purpose of training is to promote the body's use of fat for fuel, more healthy fat is consumed—in the range of 30% of total calories—with carbohydrate intake at around 50%. During the build and peak (specific preparation) periods the intensity of training increases
placing greater demands on the body for carbohydrate to fuel exercise. At this latter time of the season Stages III and IV become increasingly critical to the athlete's recovery. Carbohydrate intake increases accordingly to around 60% of total calories with fat intake dropping to around 20%. During times of the year when training is greatly reduced (peaking/tapering and transition periods) the athlete must limit caloric intake to prevent unwanted weight gain.
● Increases intake of branched chain amino acids (BCAA). Benefits muscle
development and anabolic function. Also counteracts autoammunosuppression common
in endurance athletes following extensive exercise.
● Decreases omega6: omega3
ratio. Reduces tissue inflammations common to
athletes while promoting healing. This may include asthmatic conditions common in athletes.
● Lowers body acidity. Reduces the catabolic effect of acidosis on bone and muscle while stimulating muscle protein synthesis. This is increasingly important with aging.
● Is high in trace nutrients. Vitamins and minerals are necessary for optimal health and long term
recovery from exercise. The most nutrient dense foods are
vegetables and seafood. On average, vegetables have nearly twice the nutrient density of grains.
