Welcome to Westchester Reform Temple Jewish Learning Lab
Before making your class choice selection, please take a moment to read our 2017-2018 School Year Overview below for Kindergarten through 12th Grade.
Temple/Synagogue Membership is required for all WRT Jewish Learning Lab programs. WRT Family accounts must be in Good Standing (all account items paid in full). New Jewish Learning Lab families, if registering your children before the new membership year begins, must provide $1,845 deposit towards Membership Dues (dated July 1, 2017), and Membership Forms (Building Fund, Commitment and Info Card), before being allowed to register for Jewish Learning Lab.
Kindergarten through 6th grade: Our students are engaged in a variety of learning experiences. Students explore our liturgy and holidays, and as they progress through the program they learn to read Hebrew, and explore Judaic studies topics such as the Jewish life-cycle, Israel: Land, History and Society, What Does it Mean to become a Bar or Bat Mitzvah?, and Facing History: An Introduction to the Holocaust. We have various models to meet the needs of our students and their families.
ALEF ("A") and BET ("B"): In addition to regular classes, Kindergarten through 6th grade students and their parents join together on Sundays at 10:30-11:00am for a musical service led by our clergy. Students enjoy learning both traditional melodies and the latest in Jewish popular music with a music specialist, and share in a variety of special events and projects.
SHARING SHABBAT: Our Sharing Shabbat program is designed for parent participation. Students and parents attend a Saturday morning family service beginning at 9:00am that is followed by an oneg: bagels, coffee, cookies and conversation for children, parents and teachers. Students then go to their classrooms and parents are invited to engage in discussion about Jewish life and literature with our clergy. During this time, childcare is offered for three- and four-year-old children. All Shabbat activities end at 12pm.
5TH AND 6TH GRADE: Our weekday program meets twice a week on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 3:45-5:45 pm. During the week, students have the opportunity to delve into services in a small group session with our clergy; exploring prayer, liturgy and music.
5th & 6th Grade Alef/Bet Schedule
• Alef schedule (9 am-11 am) and Bet schedule (10:30 am - 12:30 pm)
• An every other month family learning session led by our Clergy, with an oneg, a festive breakfast from either 9 am –10:30am (Alef) or 11 am - 12:30 pm (Bet)
• A weekly family service in the main Sanctuary from 10:30-11 am for all families in 3rd-6th grade (and a parallel service for Grades K-2)
All of this is in addition to our pre-existing Covenant of Learning:
• Regular (weekly) Parent & Child participation in our Sunday learning and services
• Exemplary participation in our J-Lectives program
• Student participation in a 40 minute small group Hebrew learning session, scheduled individually, Monday-Thursday.
• Learning as a family within and outside the Temple throughout the week.
J-LECTIVES!: All 5th, 6th & 7th Grade students (regardless of the program they choose) are expected to participate in J-Lectives. These experiential activities take our students out of the classroom and into the world, helping them make new friends and find their own Jewish paths. We offer a wide-range of activities to meet every interest and schedule. We encourage students who participate in community service and other events at the Temple to apply for J-Lective "credit" for their participation.
7th Grade: The 7th Grade B2Mitzvah Program: Boneh (Building) B'nei Mitzvah meets on Wednesday nights from 5:15pm - 7:00pm. Our kids are in formation: building character, building life skills, and building Jewish identity. This curriculum addresses a challenging and critical time in a child's life.The students are placed in color groups based on their B'nei Mitzvah date and rotate between five different workshops throughout the year. The B2Mitzvah program features five Workshops, with five important goals: (1) Building the necessary skills to lead the Bar/Bat Mitzvah service from the bimah. (2) Building a D'var Torah, the speech that each child delivers at Bar/Bat Mitzvah. (3) Building a mitzvah project and an abiding commitment to helping others. (4) Building one's character as a young Jewish man or woman. And (5) Building an awareness of the Holocaust and the Jewish directive to build a more just and compassionate world. Please click here to download our flyer for the program.
Teens @ WRT – 8th Through 12th Grade
8th and 9th Grade: The 8th & 9th grade meet as part of our Mercaz program on Wednesday nights from 6:30pm -8:30pm. The evening includes dinner, an hour of elective time where each teen chooses a class based on their interests and our course offerings, and a half hour of grade wide community time. The theme of the 8th grade year is Clal Yisrael, our connection to Jews throughout the world. We return to this theme and how it manifests itself in different ways as we learn together as a class and travel together to Alabama in the footsteps of the Civil Rights Movement. The theme of the 9th grade year is Tikkun Olam, trying to heal our fractured world. Throughout the year we will explore contemporary and historic social justice issues. The 9th grade class will have the opportunity to travel with Rabbi Blake to New Orleans to engage in Jewish history and social action
10th Grade (Confirmation*): The Confirmation year at WRT is one of the most meaningful experiences we offer our youth. Through thought-provoking programming and conversations, we strive to help our teens crystallize their identity, both as Jews and as human beings, to cultivate a sense of responsibility for others, and to feel a sense of connection with one another and with the Jewish people.
Our 10th grade program is multifaceted and encompasses our five pillars: Avodah/Spirituality, Chavurah/Community, Talmud Torah/Lifelong Jewish Learning, Tikkun Olam/Repairing the World, and Clal Yisrael/Jewish Peoplehood. Wednesday nights, retreats, rehearsals, social action programs, religious and cultural programs, as well as the Consecration and Confirmation services, make up the essential parts of this year. *The Confirmation program meets on Wednesday evenings from 6:30pm - 8:30pm as part of our regular Mercaz program; social justice activities take place select Sundays throughout the year.
11th and 12th Grade (POST CONFIRMATION**): The Packing for College program meets twice a month: once on a Wednesday from 6:30-8:30pm for a more traditional Mercaz class, and once a month on Sundays from 11:30am-1:00pm for a "brunch and learn" with one of our Rabbis and Cantors. The Packing for College class is a two year curriculum which aims to provide our young adults with the tools and skills that they need to feel proud of who they are, and also to grapple with some of the tough issues that we all struggle with like anti-Semitism and Israel, and how to be Jewish on campus. We welcome our teens throughout the year

Orbit Water Sprinkler Timer Systems
There is an extensive range of water sprinkler timers available from Orbit Irrigation Products. This is a company that specializes in irrigation products and the control of when the sprinklers are operated can be controlled either by simple or quite complex means. The Orbit products cover all watering requirements and cater to the backyard watering system as well as the far more extensive systems that might be used on large estates.
The simplest of the Orbit products is the Orbit 1 Dial Hose Faucet Timer. It is a very simple piece of equipment that fits directly onto the faucet and features a dial that explains each function in clear terms. Setting the timer is a simple process of setting the watering time, how often you need it to operate and for how long and you are done. It also comes with a manual button that will allow the system to be overridden without affecting the automatic settings. For less than $35, it's very good value for money.
A little more advanced is the Orbit 2-Dial Digital Timer. The first dial is a Start Interval Dial that allows you to set up to ten interval options that will control when the watering is performed over the period of a week. The Duration Dial can then be used to set how long each of those watering periods will last. This is a very good set-and-forget system that can be operated directly at the faucet. It can be bought for less than $30.
Moving the settings to a central location is a simple matter with the range of Orbit Outdoor Swing Panel Timers. They are available in a range of multiple station versions including 4-station, 6-station, 9-station or 12-station Timers. These outdoor units come in weatherproof containers and are easy to install in either an indoor or outdoor setting. If you are after a unit that can control multiple parts of the yard with watering options over a number of days the Orbit systems keep coming up as particularly reliable units that are very easy to use. The smaller 4-Station Timer System is less than $50 while the larger 12-Station System can be bought for around $80.
A couple of things that stands out whenever reading any of the customer reviews for the Orbit Water Timers listed above as well as others in the extensive range is firstly the ease with which they can be installed and, secondly, their reliability. The Orbit Water Timers definitely look as though they provide an outstanding option for setting up a home watering system that can be relied upon.

EU discusses Kosovo security force
by UPI
LJUBLJANA, Slovenia - European Union defense ministers Friday discussed a possible security force in Kosovo and ways to keep this week's clashes from spreading.Of particular interest also to the ministers, holding a two-day, informal session in Slovenia, were Bosnia and Herzegovina where some Serbs in Republika Srpska are reported to be demanding a break-away from the federation. Republika Srpska is one of two political entities of Bosnia and Herzegovina and is made up of Serbs, Bosniaks and Croats.
"We want to set up a unit in charge of protecting Kosovo," said Franz Josef Jung, Germany's defense chief. "We want to create a Kosovo security force which would allow it to assure its own security,"Because of violent activities by Serbs in northern Kosovo and Serbian border crossings this week, NATO-led peacekeepers must remain in the region, he said.Meanwhile, the United States and the United Nations have strongly criticized Serbian attacks on the American embassy in Belgrade which followed a massive rally Thursday protesting Kosovo's break from Serbia.The incident involved around 1,000 protesters who broke into the embassy while throwing flares through a window and setting part of it on fire. An unidentified body was found inside.

Scottish Open: Shiv Kapur makes the cut, Anirban Lahiri hangs by thin thread
Shiv Kapur shot an even par 70 to make his first cut since April as his total of two-under 138 with 68 and 70 made the weekend rounds at the Aberdeen Asset Management Scottish Open
Gullane: Shiv Kapur shot an even par 70 to make his first cut since April as his total of two-under 138 with 68 and 70 made the weekend rounds at the Aberdeen Asset Management Scottish Open in Gullane on Saturday.
Meanwhile, Anirban Lahiri (71-68) was hanging by a thin thread after two rounds and Jeev Milkha Singh missed out with rounds of 74-69 as the cut was expected to fall either at two-under or one-under, in which case Lahiri will play on the weekend.
Kapur, who last made a cut in April in Volvo China at Shenzhen, survived the cut despite a double bogey on par-3 third and bogeys on fifth and 10th as he had four other birdies.
Kapur had three birdies and one bogey in his first round 68. Since China, Kapur has been missing the cut, including at US Open, often by narrow margins of one and two shots.
Lahiri, winner of Hero Indian Open and Malaysian Open this season, was going great in first round at three-under after five and then finished at one-over 71. In the second round he had four birdies against two bogeys on seventh and 12th.
Jeev after a 74 in first round faced a tough task and even a 68 was not enough with three birdies and two bogeys.
Daniel Brooks (64-65) was 11-under and three shots ahead of Johan Carlsson (65-67), Shane Lowry 66-66) and Justin Rose (66-66). Also at eight-under was Richard McEvoy but he had 10 more holes to play.
Rose rated his game at just 50 per cent despite a second 66. Looking to become the first player to win the event two years running following his victory at Royal Aberdeen 12 months ago, Rose carded a second consecutive 66 to join Ireland's Shane Lowry and Swede Johan Carlsson in the clubhouse on eight under par. Later Brooks overtook them.
Rose, the former US Open Champion recovered from a bogey on the first with five birdies in the next seven holes, but could only manage nine straight pars on the back nine.
Playing partner Phil Mickelson, who won the 2013 Open a mile down the road at Muirfield, was in danger of missing the halfway cut when he bogeyed the 11th and 12th, but responded in style with a hat-trick of birdies from the 14th to finish three under.
Lowry, who was in contention for the US Open last month before finishing ninth, also carded his second successive 66 and credited his recent good form to a settled home life.
Carlsson went round in a 67 which included four birdies against a single bogey.

Ex-Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer now owns the LA Clippers after paying a record-breaking $2 billion for the franchise last week.
This franchise has been a perennial laughing stock in the NBA, basically ever since they left Buffalo in order to move to San Diego in the late 70s.
At the time, the club decided to rebrand itself from the Braves to something that was more fitting in San Diego. After holding a radio contest, they settled on the name of a ship – and the San Diego Clippers were born.
When Donald Sterling – the now disgraced former owner of the team who was basically run out of the league after a series of racist rants came to light -- came along and bought the franchise in 1981, he did two things right.
First, he only paid $12 million for the franchise at the time. He probably had no idea how valuable sports franchises in America would grow to become in the next 30 years (making a 16,667% return), but he did what all good value investors do: he paid next to nothing for the team.
The second smart thing he did was bullying the league into letting him up and move the franchise to the big market of Los Angeles, even though the Lakers were already there and thriving.
We'll never know what Steve Ballmer would have paid to buy the San Diego Clippers if they still played there but it's likely it would have been much less than $2 billion.
After that, though, there's little you can point to that Sterling did right with the team. Yet, thanks to a lucky draft of Blake Griffin, the NBA forcing Chris Paul to go to the Clippers instead of the Lakers, and bringing in Doc Rivers to run the team (and basically the franchise in the last 2 months), the Clippers are one of the better teams in the league.
So now Steve Ballmer is in charge and has pledged to keep the team in LA. What's next?
Although Ballmer and Microsoft were never well-known for their marketing prowess (I don't remember anyone ever talking about the latest Zune TV commercial), I have some advice on the next big move he should make to rebrand the Clippers organization.
He should rename the team the Los Angeles Raiders.
The Clippers name is associated with losing and racism. When you think of that name, you think of Donald Sterling sitting courtside with a goofy grin. It needs to be banished and the organization needs a complete restart. The players will love it and the fans will embrace it.
Why the Raiders?
Los Angeles still mourns the loss of the Raiders football team when Al Davis mercurially decided to move his team back to Oakland in 1995. It's been almost 20 years since that happened and you'll still find lots of silver and black on Angelinos. Many from LA still cheer for the Oakland Raiders as their default NFL team.
It wasn't just the colors, the Raiders inspired an attitude of swagger and confidence in Los Angeles. It was young. It was powerful. It was about being an outsider and walking to the beat of your own drummer. LA loved it.

- n. Plural form of record.
- v. Third-person singular simple present indicative form of record.
Sorry, no etymologies found.
This can make the examples incredibly repetitive: it "should set @records when accessing GET / index" do get: index assigns [: records]. should_not be_nil end
So the entire 3-game difference in records is explained by their performance against different NFC teams.
This latter was in the way of explanation of the title records, so that by referring from one to the other, Bob was able to trace out the process by which the land had been acquired.
In her new post Kate also attempts to begin to develop a distinction between archives 1.0 and archives 2.0, picking up on some of the points that Steve and I have made in relation to the problem of definition associated with the term records management 2.0.
Nowhere in your records is there any mention of POW status.
Nowhere in your records is there any mention of authorization to wear or claim the Purple Heart as you have done many times.
Somewhere in my records is an e-mail wherein he tells of going AWOL from the 25th Recon on
Note 31: One of many such examples which appear in the Eleftherotipia records is the promotion of Evropi Grigoriadou.
Arms and the Woman: Just Warriors and Greek Feminist Identity
I just wonder if the revelation about the financial institutions handing over all of our records is about to break?
So, when different marriage dates appear in the IGI, recorded in different towns, often one of the records is a date of publishment or certification of intentions.

238th District Court race takes on new tone
Published 4:31 pm, Wednesday, July 18, 2012
A negative tone was introduced Wednesday into the 238th District Court race that up to this point has been mostly friendly.
Candidates David Lindemood and Elizabeth Leonard spoke during a meeting of the Midland County Republican Women. Both touted their respective experience in the legal field as reasons they believe they should be elected to the vacant judicial position.
Lindemood also took the opportunity to refute campaign materials he says paint an inaccurate picture of the race and, in some respects, are offensive.
"It seems to me that when you say something, especially in a judicial contest, you ought to be accountable for what you say," he said. "Quite frankly, some of the things in my (opponent's) brochure are troubling to me and it does bother me."
While Leonard's brochure references her being the only candidate with significant oil and gas law experience, with "relevant" courtroom experience and with the felony trial background needed for the court, Lindemood said there's more to it than that.
The 238th District Court has the ability to hear civil cases in addition to criminal cases, Lindemood said. Like him, Lindemood said many of the past and current district judges in Midland, including Judges Jody Gilles, Dean Rucker and Pat Baskin, also did not have backgrounds as felony prosecutors.
"To try to imply to you that if you don't have felony prosecution experience, that you're not going to be qualified to sit in this court basically tells you that everyone of those judges ... none of them are qualified," Lindemood said. "I take great offense to that statement."
Leonard, while also pointing out what she sees as flaws in her opponent, focused more on her own background.
"I want you to think, which of these candidates has the most relevant experience to hear the serious felony cases that make up the majority of this court's docket," she said.
With six years of oil and gas experience and 10.5 years of courthouse trial experience that included dozens of felony cases, Leonard said she is the most prepared.
"My experience has been in civil law and criminal law with an emphasis in felony criminal law and oil and gas law," she said.
The 238th District Court has jurisdiction over both civil and criminal cases. In 2011, about 90 percent of the cases that went to trial were of a felony criminal nature, according to the Midland County District Attorney's Office. Just one case was over a civil matter.
This year, all of the cases that have gone to trial were criminal, according to the District Attorney's Office. One is scheduled next week that will involve a civil issue.
Leonard said Lindemood has stated he has "very little" criminal law experience and that his mediation experience would be helpful on the bench. Knowing what the 238th District Court judge will face, Leonard said her background is more fitting.
"Mediators, unlike judges, do not decide cases," she said.
Lindemood said he's practiced in front of judges throughout West Texas during his more than 25-year career and that his mediation experience over the past 10 years would be an asset.
"If you appear before different types of judges and try different types of cases like I have in my 25 years, you actually learn something," he said.
The two will face each other in the July 31 runoff race. Early voting starts Monday.
Other candidates in attendance at Wednesday's meeting were not as direct in criticizing their opponents.
Barry Smitherman and Christi Craddick both spoke of their desire to keep the federal government out of the oil and gas business. They also cited the need to have an efficient, effective Railroad Commission and to work toward energy independence.
The two are vying for separate seats on the Railroad Commission.
"We have to stop giving money to people who hate America," Smitherman said, referring to foreign oil imports. "Perhaps in the past we did not have a choice. We have a choice now."
Craddick, who thanked Midlanders for their warm welcome home, said, "We need the federal government to get out of this business. They have no business in this business."
Greg Parker, who will face Smitherman, also gave a brief introduction of himself following the meeting. Craddick will face former state Rep. Warren Chisum.
Justice David Medina and challenger John Devine, who are running for the place four state Supreme Court position, also spoke.

During a gathering this week, Andy Wells will be among religious leaders encouraging young people to find peace in Jesus Christ.
In its eighth year, DNOW, or Disciple Now, will bring together youth group leaders and members from 16 churches in Manatee and Sarasota counties. As the student pastor at Lakewood Ranch Baptist Church, Wells will lead 35 youngsters as they explore releasing burdens of a hectic society and rethinking priorities.
"Our society in general is just go-go-go and in the church we have taken on some of that and this weekend is a reminder to not only students but leaders as well that Jesus does call us to rest, to not let this weigh us down but to rest in his comfort and his peace and be satisfied with a life committed to him," Wells said.
Even good programs can end up being distractions from what one's primary focus should be, a relationship with Jesus, he said.
Wells is on the planning committee of the event that includes Friday night and Saturday morning and night sessions of music by the Chris Coleman Band and discussions of the Matthew 11:28-30. The event is an opportunity to encourage and equip youths to lead a Christian life.
Lakewood Ranch Baptist has taken part every year.
The event this year is special for a different reason: It is the first major event for Lakewood Ranch Baptist Church since it became its ownfull-fledged congregation July 1. For the past 10 years, it had been a satellite campus of Sarasota Baptist Church until, Wells said, it became obvious the 350-member congregation would do best on its own.
"The concept was one church and two campuses," he said. "It kind of turned into a plant church in the sense both campuses agreed it was time for the Lakewood ranch campus to go off and be its own church with its own vision so we could better reach the community."
A large part of the church's outreach is its thriving student ministry that draws from several middle schools and high schools, including Sarasota, Riverview, Braden River and Lakewood Ranch.
Students attending the weekend sessions will learn that it is not always best to tackle too much.
"It's also a call not to be sucked into that culture, to not be like everyone else," he said. "Our values come from Christ and not what teams we're on and what grades we get and whether we graduate as a sophomore in college because of dual enrollment classes."
Planning committee member Monty Hershberger of nearby Cornerstone Church of Lakewood Ranch will bring about 40 youths to DNOW. The church has participated each year, he said, and youths realize they are not alone on their journey of faith during the weekend.
"The reality of what we do in discipleship is helping kids find their real identity, be free to be who they are and what they're meant to be," Hershberger said. "It's kind of in vogue again for kids to be really busy, really active and one of the purposes that's discipleship-driven is allowing kids time and space to be relaxed."
As part of that Christ-centered focus, the church plans to offer four host homes where students can meet in small groups to share their beliefs.
"These weekends are really intentional to connect these students as well," he said. "We're encouraging our kids to be disciples and to learn what it means to live their faith. It enables them to be who they are whether on church or school campuses."
Other connections between students occur. Sixth- through 12th-graders from Covenant Life have reached out to friends from nearby Pine View in south Sarasota, student ministry director Brandi Dowdy said.
Dowdy, who attended D-Now conferences beginning in the seventh grade in Missouri, said somechildren from Pine View showed up a few years ago and the number has swelled.
"Now we have about 20 of them," she said. "Something cool is happening with us. We have been able to partner with these kids who are involved in all different aspects and a school where all things are based on science rather than faith."
In an age when children face so many options, she stressed that resting in the Lord is crucial.
"We really encourage students to find time for the Lord every day," Dowdy said. "If he's your priority, make time for him."
At gathering, youth will learn to put Christ first

John Curtis, a Christmas tree grower in New Jersey, has found a profitable niche for his tree farm by growing over 40 varieties of trees that offer something different for shoppers looking for a unique tree to take home. Both new visitors and repeat customers appreciate the experience of seeing so many varieties after being accustomed to the three or four usual varieties at most Christmas tree farms.
Technically, an exotic Christmas tree is a variety that is not native to an area, but Curtis has taken that definition to a new level with varieties such as the Arizona cork bark and the King Boris, a natural hybrid of the European Silver Fir. Curtis says
"I like a challenge. I wanted to make this tree farm different from any other. Many of these trees are so beautiful. The Korean Fir, for instance, has white on the underside of the needles. The Grand and Nordman Firs grow in a natural Christmas shape, requiring no pruning."
Exotic Christmas tree varieties have several benefits, according to Curtis, such as:
- Superior needle retention
- Unusual color or texture
- Insect and disease resistance
- Frost and drought resistance
Some of Curtis's favorite varieties include:
- Algerian
- Arizona corkbark
- Bornmueller, also known as Turkish Fir.
- Canaan Fir
- Concolor Fir, with a unique citrusy aroma.
- European Silver Fir
- Ernest Fir, discovered in China.
- King Boris
- Korean Fir
- Nikko Fir
In addition to growing exotics, Curtis has found two additional profitable niche markets. The first is growing eco-friendly live Christmas trees in pots for those in smaller homes, such as condos. He also sells cut greens for Sukkot, or Feast of Tabernacles, a week-long Jewish holiday. He supplies enough branches to build a 90 square-foot shelter, used to eat a meal to celebrate the harvest.
There is room for an exotic Christmas tree grower in every community, and plenty of potential customers who are looking for something different. If you're thinking about growing Christmas trees for profit, be sure to explore the fascinating world of exotics. Our book, Growing Trees for Profit, lists wholesale sources for Christmas tree seeds and seedlings.

Whether you're the type of lady to pack 10 t-shirts or the type to pack carefully thought out outfits, this guide will help ease your mind when it comes to that dreaded staring into your empty suitcase scenario.
First things first, you need to pack all your essentials. Essentials are items you WILL use or need at some stage of your holiday. Everything else such as heels, sparkly dresses and handbags are a bonus, I like to refer to these as luxury items, things that you don't need to pack, but it will be lovely to have too. So let's run through the essentials.
Most Crucial
Nothing is more important than sunscreen. Not only will it keep you hydrated, it will protect you from the harmful UV rays and give you a nice even tan. I recommend this Loreal Milk Spray Bundle. It has everything you need and the spray applicator means quicker application. Another crucial item I recommend is a hat. This Straw Bowler Hat is stylish, cute and versatile. It will go with almost any outfit, and protect your face and hair from the sun.
I suggest a sundress that can take you from day to night. I personally love this the Love Label Open Back Sun Dress. Its summery, floral, cute and sexy at the same time. Wear with flats by day and heels by night, thats 2 outfits in one! I also recommend taking a maxi dress, another day to night item. Maxi dresses are stylish, comfortable and glam. This Love Label Open Back Maxi Dress will be making it's way into my suitcase!
Take some simple coloured tank tops. These South Ribbed Longline Vest is only £5 a pop meaning you can afford to buy several in different colours. These kind of tops look good with shorts or skirts, there super easy to style and more importantly, super comfortable.
You definitely need a great pair of flats. I have gone for these South Acapulco Leather Sandals. Metallic is slightly more dressy than plain ones meaning you can wear them at night time too! These South Turi Elastic Front Wedge Espadrilles are also great, a small wedge will give you some comfortable height if like me, your a high heels kind of girl.
Every girl needs at least a couple of bikinis. I will be taking this Pineapple Bikini Set with me. The minty colour is SO this season and the frills will help add some volume to my small chest. The perfect companion is this Resort Crinkle Kaftan. It's lightweight and flattering, the perfect cover up. It's also the crinkle look so wave goodbye to your iron!
Sunglasses are a must, I can not stress enough how important it is to protect your eyes from the sun. I will be sporting my Ray Ban Teardrop Aviator Sunglasses this summer. Oh please, keep those paps away! teehee. Finally, everyone needs a great multi tasking bag. I went for this Bench Giving Tote Bag. Big enough to take on to plane, casual enough to take to the beach and stylish enough to take to the bars. Sorted!
Quick tips on packing
-Roll your clothes instead of folding, this will prevent them from creasing
-Save space, stuff your underwear into your shoes, make use of that spare space!
-Hold your hat, don't waste space in your suitcase.
-Take thin lightweight towels, not only will these save space but they will also dry faster and easier.

This was a great evening. Aside from the fantastic views, the boat was well-maintained and the staff was very friendly. We were also impressed by the selection of microbrewed beers. The only problem we had was locating Pier 62. Classic Harbor line has relocated its booth and access to Pier 62 is gained by entering Chelsea Piers through Pier 61.

Robert Covington had 18 points and eight rebounds, but Tennessee State's return to postseason tournament play was short-lived as the Tigers lost 68-60 at Mercer on Tuesday in the opening round of the CollegeInsider.com Tournament.
Consecutive 3-pointers by Will Peters gave the Tigers a 42-38 lead with 12:32 to play, but they scored just two points over the next 6:15 and never recovered. It was TSU's first appearance in a postseason tournament since the 1994 NCAA tournament.
Mercer scored 17 of its final 23 points on free throws. The Bears were 20-24 from the foul line for the game, including 20-22 after halftime when they scored 49 points, 30 more than in the first half.
TSU (20-13) led by two at intermission, 21-19, and quickly extended the margin to five when Covington made a 3-pointer 14 seconds into the second half.
Mercer (23-11) responded with a 12-2 run, which included 10 points by Justin Cecil.
The Tigers regained the lead briefly, but Mercer went ahead to stay on consecutive 3-pointers by Langston Hall. They were Hall's only two field goals of the contest. The first tied it 44-44 and the second made it 47-44 with 8:25 to.
Cecil led all scorers with 19 points and Daniel Coursey (8-8 at the foul line) added 16 for Mercer.
Kenny Moore scored 11 and Jordan Cyphers chipped in 10 for TSU.

Are you ready for the imagery war -- the war against personal photography and capturing of video? You'd better be.
The title of this piece actually isn't entirely accurate. In some ways, this war isn't just coming, it's already begun. Forces are lining up on both sides, under the radar for most of us so far, but preparing for action. And right now, if I had to place a bet (cash, not bitcoins, please), I'd reluctantly have to predict the anti-imagery folks have the better chance of winning.
There are many facets to this struggle, and they interact in complicated and sometimes even seemingly contradictory ways. It's largely a battle pitting technology against a range of personal sensibilities -- and politics will be playing an enormous role.
And please note the following well -- if we techies attempt to argue that no significant relevant issues actually exist, if we are perceived to be arrogant in our reactions to the various concerns being expressed, we are likely to be steamrolled by the opposition.
I said there were contradictory forces in play, and man, do I mean it.
In the aftermath of the Boston bombings -- cameras were everywhere there -- which while horrendous and tragic, killed and injured fewer people than just a few days of "routine" gun violence here in the USA, we're hearing the predictable calls for vastly expanded government-operated video surveillance networks, even though virtually every study shows that while these systems may be useful in solving crimes after the fact, they are of little to no use in preventing crime or terrorism in the first place. This has proven true even in cities like London, where there's a camera focused on pretty much every individual pimple on each Londoner's face.
In some cities, like New York, the surveillance-industrial complex has its fangs deeply into government for the big bucks. It's there we heard the Police Commissioner -- just hours ago, really -- claim that "privacy is off the table."
And of course, there's the rise of wearable cameras and microphones by law enforcement, generally bringing praise from people who assume they will reduce police misconduct, but also dangerously ignoring a host of critical questions.
Will officers be able to choose when the video is running? How will the video be protected from tampering? How long will it be archived? Can it be demanded by courts? Divorce lawyers? Insurance companies? Can it be enhanced and used to trigger prosecutions of new crimes, perhaps based on items in private homes captured on video when officers enter? What will be the penalties when clips of these videos, often involving people in personal situations of high drama and embarrassment, often through no fault of their own, leak onto video sharing sites?
All of this and more is the gung-ho, government surveillance side of the equation.
But what about the personal photography and video side? What of individual or corporate use of these technologies in public and private spaces?
Will the same politicians promoting government surveillance in all its glory take a similar stance toward nongovernmental applications?
Writing already on the wall suggests not.
Inklings of the battles to come are already visible, if you know where to look.

At Kate's Bill wakes up screaming NO NO and Kate comforts her. She says she's afraid the same will happen to Bo as Roman. She tells K that she loves Bo so much, but....... Kate reassures her and reminds her that Bo chose HER, not Hope and wants to know why she is not happy. Billie asks what if B&H still love each other, but for some reason Bo can't tell her. Kate does not understand, but instead convinces Billie she shouldn't dwell on her insecurity, but go after Bo and Billie agrees (Come on, Billie...how many times Bo gotta tell you he doesn't love you...GET A CLUE, GIRL!) Kate tells Billie she heard of Roman's death...she should go and comfort Bo. Later, Billie decides to drop her drug investigation of King. The longer it takes Bo to catch him, the more time SHE will have to catch Bo. She drops a little vial of what looks like cocaine in her purse and decides she'll get rid of it.
At the church, Shawn, Caroline and Kim are joined by Marlena (who's praying it isn't really R's body). She tells them about this and says she won't be convinced he's dead until she sees for herself. Major Dodd comes in and M asks for proof. He gives her a letter from Shane telling them that Roman is dead...the letter goes on to say that dental records and DNA testing confirms that the body is indeed Roman Augustus Brady. All 4 of them break down together.
At Peter's house, Mike, Jenn and Lynn watch Laura ranting and raving that she is sure the secret room is right here, but can't get the door open. We see Kristen on the other side holding on for dear life. Mike tries also, but no luck. Laura is upset because no one believes her. She gets mad and says FINE, lets go home and stomps out. K breathes a sigh of relief and thinks now, she's gotta get home and see what kind of trouble Susan has gotten into! (Man, if she ONLY knew!) Laura & Co. arrive at Jenn's house (still arguing about the secret room) Lynn trots up with a pill and L refuses to take it and says she doesn't want ANYTHING from any of them and stomps up the stairs. Mike hates to do it, but decides to call Marlena and Lynn gets this panicked look. Marlena is crying over the casket when her cell phone rings. Mike tells her he needs her and she gets upset, thinking something is wrong with Sami. Mike explains what happened and she tells Mike she'll be right there. When M gets there, L recants her story for her. M asks if she had her medication and Lynn suggest they increase dosage and Laura jumps all over her. L says she wants to talk to M alone. Mike returns to the hospital and Jenn goes to check on Abby and Lynn goes to the kitchen (for what else...to make tea!) but listens at the door. L tells M that she is sure K is involved in all this and M says she can believe anything about K...but what about Stephano and Peter...they're dead! L says well, lets go after the one we KNOW is alive...Kristen, because K knows that L is on to her. L tells M she wants her to confront K about her whereabouts this evening!
Back at the hospital, Hope pleads with Bo for the truth, but Kim walks up. She tells them about the letter and Bo breaks down. Bo decides to go to the church to be with S&C and leaves. Kim wants to know what happened between B&H. H says she doesn't know, but can still feel Bo's love, K says she can too. K urges her to go after him and make that stubborn Brady admit his feelings for her. K stays with S-D and H leaves too.
On the pier, Billie throws the drugs into the river. Hope sees this and questions her. Billie tells her she was just cleaning out her purse (Sure, Billie...all women do that) She goes on to politely tell H to mind her own business (that Bo is her fiance and Hope should move on with her life) and leaves. Hope is confused by Billies sudden change of attitude (And frankly, so am I). Bo joins Shawn & Caroline at the church and then Billie shows up to offer her condolences. She tells Bo privately that she isn't going to do anything to interfere with his investigation and back at the pier Hope is VERY curious as to what Billie really threw into the river and what she's up to.
Meanwhile, back at DiMansion, we find John and Susan in bed. He tells her that Roman's death makes him realize how precious life is and you should savor every moment. She tells him to make love to her and then she attacks! J comes up for air and comments on how passionate she is. J tells her they need wine and goes to the cellar. When J gets back, we see K enter the front door calling for him. John makes a toast to *his beautiful wife* and S is eating all this up! J asks her why she isn't drinking and she says cause she's nursing (See S isn't so dumb afterall!) J leaves the room after hearing JJr. crying (to check on him since Susan has the night off) As he goes out the door he says I'll be right back Sweet Heart & Kristen (whose upstairs by now) scrambles for cover. She goes in and finds Susan propped up in the bed and goes ballistic and wants to know *what the hell are you doing?* She balls Susan out, accusing her of trying to seduce John and says she could never be her *you are just a stupid, ugly girl*...she yanks her wig off and tells her to get out of her bed and negligee. Susan goes in to the nursery (as Susan) with John and he returns to Kristen. J notices that K isn't as passionate as she was before, but before she can give him a reason, the phone rings...
M has arrived at DiMansion and wants to talk to Kristen, she calls her on the intercom and tells her she wants to see her right now. Kristen tells John she will be right back and angrily heads downstairs. John goes back to the nursery and Susan is in awe of him. She comments *how wonderful how love sustains you even in your darkest moments*...OOOPS! John had said that to her (as Kristen) earlier and wants to know where she heard that!
In the den, asks Marlena what does she want and Marlena blurts out *I know what you did to Laura tonight!*.....
In prison Jack continues his heartbreaking quest to find Jennifer a man. Later Jen comes to see him and tells him about Laura's accusations about Peter being alive, and what it would mean if it was true.

In the DiMera nursery John asks Susan where she heard "Love will sustain us", and when Susan says she must have read it in a book John tells her she heard that from inside his and Kristen's room! Suddenly John says "How could I have been so blind!" Susan goes on about how embarrassed she is and she never meant it for this to happen, and John accesses her of standing outside the door and eavesdropping. Susan claims she heard things over the baby walkee talkee and brakes down crying, cause she's a really really good person and she would never never never do anything to risk her job because John Black is the bestest kindest man in the whole whole world and she loves working for him and she just adores the baby and boo hoo hoo hoo (Susan's words). John comforts Susan and tells her it's okay and he didn't mean to hurt her feelings. John tells her that the security of his house is very important because he's been deceived so many times in his life. Susan says she is so sorry and John takes the baby monitor and says the issue is over, they won't talk about it anymore. Susan thanks him and after he leaves Susan says she know understands why Kristen is frantic to keep secrets from him, but she would NEVER hurt John Black.
Downstairs Marlena confronts Kristen about what she did to Laura. Kristen says Laura is delusional, and she slips up by saying she wasn't anywhere near Peter's house. Marlena catches her and asks how she knew Laura was at Peter's since Marlena never mentioned it. Kristen just says that she assumed that's what Laura said because she's obviously delusional and set on destroying her. Marlena says she thinks Laura did find that secret room and Kristen knocked her out. Marlena says John would be interested in knowing this, and Kristen says it doesn't matter, John would never betray their vows. Marlena responds by saying they'll just see about that, she's going to tell him everything tonight! The two argue, and when Marlena is about to go upstairs Kristen claims John isn't home. Suddenly John walks down the steps and says hello to Doc, and Marlena is surprised to see him since Kristen said he wasn't home. Kristen says she just felt John needed some time alone. Marlena tells John she has to tell him something about Laura, and Kristen butts in and says Laura is accusing her of attacking her at Peter's house and plotting against her with Stefano and Peter. John asks if there is anyway to prove Laura's crazy accusation false, and Marlena says there is a way, Kristen just has to prove where she was tonight. Kristen is shocked that she has to defend herself, and John says that they were together tonight which is why Kristen was hesitant to say something. Marlena says she see and decides to leave, but John asks her to stay and he'll bring her some tea. Kristen asks if that was enough for her, or if she needs some more intimate details about her and John's sex life. Disgusted Marlena decides to leave. Later John tries to pick up where they were, but Kristen's enthusiasm has seemed to have diminished. Kristen decides she better go check on Susan and the baby, and before she goes John says Susan is upset that she can hear them speak through the baby monitor. Kristen is shocked, and once she's out of the room John turns on the monitor he took from the baby's room to see what is going on with it.
Kristen goes upstairs and calls Susan a little slut and demands to know what she did in bed with John. Susan says she only kissed him, but Kristen calls her a lying tramp. Kristen is going to put an end to everything and demands Susan for the wig. As Kristen tries to leave with the wig John comes into the room! Kristen quickly puts the wig behind her back. John came in to check the baby monitor, and Kristen manages to hand the wig to Susan, who stuffs it in a drawer. Kristen and John leave, and Kristen says she has to make a call to the contractor.
Back up in the nursery Susan tells Elvis she will make John love her.
Carrie meets Austin in the hall way because Austin wanted to talk. Austin tells her he wish he didn't feel guilty about Sami, but he loves Carrie and has no plans to give up on her. Carrie tells him that sounds good, but the fact is Sami isn't, and doesn't want to remember the last four years of her life. The conversation is interrupted by a phone call from Caroline who says the rosary is going to be said for Roman. Carrie asks Austin to come with her, but he says Sami needs her as well. Carrie suggests that Lucas stay with Sami, and Lucas comes over and agrees to stay with her while Carrie and Austin go to the funeral. Lucas however messes everything up by dropping a pan and waking Sami up. When Sami sees Austin and Carrie so dressed up she asks what is going on. Carrie tells her Roman's body is in town and they are going to the funeral. Sami says she has to see her father one last time, and when Carrie says the casket will probably be closed Sami just says, "well they'll have to open it."
Carrie, Austin, Lucas, and Sami all arrive at the church, and Sami asks them to open the coffin to make sure it's really her daddy. Kim says that they know it was Roman because DNA test proved it, and Shawn says it's better if the casket remains closed so they can remember him how she was. Sami says this is all because of John and Marlena's affair, but Shawn and Caroline say it wasn't any persons fault, Roman left on his own will. Caroline hopes Sami will be more forgiving towards John and Marlena, and Kim says everyone makes mistakes and wouldn't she want to be forgiven for hers? Sami replies "I could never do anything that horrible!"
Marlena and Carrie talk at the funeral. Carrie asks her if Sami can will her memory from coming back, and Marlena says if she was determined enough not to remember than she could succeed.
Latter Laura talks to Marlena, who has spoken to Kristen. Marlin tells her that John was with Kristen tonight, and he wouldn't lie to her. Laura says that can't be, and asks Marlena if she is going crazy again. Marlena says she only thinks Laura is confused, but Laura sticks with her story, and suggest Stefano made a double of her obviously!

In Austin's apartment, Austin and Sami are getting ready to go to the church, and when Carrie asks if they are ready to go Austin says no, he needs to talk to Carrie alone. Lucas takes Sami to the car, and Austin tells Carrie it's a mistake to tell Sami the truth. Austin says he just can't tell Sami with Roman's funeral today. Carrie says she needs him just as much as Sami does, so Austin promises to tell her everything after the funeral.

Bo and Hope talk to each other outside the church about Roman. Billie shows up for the funeral, and before going in Hope pulls Billie aside to ask her a question. Hope asks Billie point blank if she's using drugs, and Billie says no. Hope says she hope's she's being straight, because she doesn't want Shawn D. around any more drugs. Billie gets ticked and tells her she resents Hope using her past against her, and walks off. Billie goes inside and sits with Kate and Bo, and Hope sits with the Hortons.
Before the services Laura tells Marlena she mustn't blame herself for the past, and to try and think of her future with John. Marlena tells Laura she can't sit here thinking about John because it's just like betraying Roman all over again. Laura says that she knows Kristen, Peter, and Stefano plotted against her and she asks Marlena to help her find the proof. Just then Kristen and John walk in, and Marlena gets a disgusted look on her face when she bows and does the sign of the cross. John looks at Marlena, and Laura gets all excited because she knows John still loves Marlena.

Sami wants to check on will, and Lucas takes her to the phone. Once out of range Carrie tells Austin they must tell Sami the truth now and Austin agrees to tell her once they arrive home.
People begin to toast Roman, and when Shawn asks Marlena to speak she doesn't think it's appropriate for her to speak. Caroline says she gave Roman some of the best years of his life, and 2 wonderful children.
Marlena tells Laura that she's decided what to do about Kristen. Suddenly John and Bo show up and at the pub, and John is soaked. They explain what happened, and when Abe hopes they tape and camera bag will give them a clue as to who was behind it John says he already has an idea. John thinks the only one interested in the Brady's enough to go that far is Stefano. Laura says if Stefano is behind it than she was right!

Back at the DiMera Mansion Susan still has the Kristen wig and is telling Elvis that she's going to try and fool the rest of Salem. Susan takes Elvis for a stroll in his carriage, and runs into Vivian and Ivan in Salem Place. Vivian asks how everything is going, and when she asks how that crazy Susan is Susan takes offense and becomes snotty. Susan continues to tell Vivian she and John are fine, and manages to fool her. Vivian and Ivan walk off, and Vivian is concerned that Kristen was so calm about the possibility of John spending time comforting Marlena.
Vivian and Ivan also run into Kate, and Vivian picks up that Kate is scarred about Sami remembering, and Vivian is determined to find out what she has on Kate.
At the pub Carrie tells Kate that Austin is going to tell Sami the truth today and leaves. Kate becomes worried, but Lucas says if Austin tells Sami the truth and she remembers he'll lose Carrie, and she could have her dirty secret Sami has on her exposed. Lucas begs his mom to trust him with this secret Sami has on her, but she says Sami has nothing on her. They get into that old "Carrie could be mine" and "You love Austin more" argument.
Austin and Sami arrive home, and Sami begins looking at her family album. They begin talking about families, and Austin says he'll always be around to love and support Sami and Will, but he has something important to tell her about their history. Sami says she wants to hear everything, and asks him to start at the beginning. Austin says they met through Carrie, and Sami is shocked he didn't want to date Carrie instead of her. The tea Austin made starts to whistle, and when Sami says she'll get it she ends up burning her hand on the kettle. Austin manages to calm Sami down, and Sami picks up on the tension in Austin's voice and wants to know what's wrong. Austin says nothing is wrong, and says he's going to see if Wendy can watch Will for awhile. After he leaves Sami thinks she's done something wrong to make Austin mad. Sami begins to talk to her father and says she doesn't understand or how to deal with her problems with Austin.
John and Abe are watching the tape and wonder if Stefano could possibly be alive and have taped the funeral. Abe checks other idea's out, like the tabloids, but they can find no explanation for the man taping the funeral.
Kristen calls Stefano and says if he didn't tape the funeral than he better think of a way to prove he's really dead. Kristen says that she needs his help in dealing with future problems and asks him to stay in closer touch with him. Kristen hangs up, and bumps into Kate who informs her that Marlena and Laura ran off to the hospital. Kristen panics and fears Marlena may be trying to hypnotize Laura again, and she can't let that happen.
Later Carrie bumps into Kate on the pier, and Lucas isn't far behind. Lucas is concerned that she hasn't eaten anything, and tells her Caroline set food out. Carrie leaves, and Lucas begs once again to tell him what Sami has on her. All Kate says is that what she's done was out of love, and Lucas says everything he's done is out of love as well, but she can't understand it. Kate realizes she's already losing Lucas, and if Sami remembers she could lose Austin and Billie as well.
Lucas returns to the pub and sits with Carrie while they wait for Austin's call. Lucas comes clean and tells her he loves her and begs her not to marry Austin, because he could give her a much better life. Carrie says she's touched, but all she can be is friends with him because Austin is her life. Lucas understands, and Carrie decides to go back home. After Carrie is gone Lucas damns Austin.
When Carrie gets to her apartment she hears Sami sobbing. She enters Sami's apartment to find Austin gone and Sami crying. Carrie asks Sami what is wrong and Sami says this has been the worst day of her life.
Laura and Marlena arrive at the hospital to try and prove Stefano and Peter are alive. Mike brings Marlena and Laura all of Peter's medical records and they hope to find some odd sign in them to see if he could possibly be alive. Mike and Laura argue over Peter's current health status, but nothing he says makes her doubt that Peter is alive. Marlena says that there is no proof of Peter surviving, and says perhaps these are dreams Laura is having because of her deep resentment towards Peter. Laura asks Marlena to come clean with John, but she says she will wait until Kristen to mess things up first. They don't know that Kristen is listening in on their conversation, she thinks Marlena is no longer a threat, now she only has Susan to deal with.
After Kristen is gone Laura says that Marlena isn't telling John because of her guilt she feels over Roman's death. Marlena says she destroyed Roman, and Laura couldn't understand, but Laura understands all too well because her affair with Jack could have kept Jack and Jen from reuniting a long time ago. Marlena begs Laura to stop pressuring her, and she says she will, but she won't give up on proving Peter is alive.
Kristen returns home to find John and Abe discussing the tape and it's possible connection to Stefano, and Kristen suddenly blurts out that Stefano had nothing to do with the tape. John looks at her and asks just how she knows that. Kristen says it's just not his method, he would have had a camera hid in a wall or something, and Abe agrees. However, John still feels Stefano's presence and doesn't understand why. John then decides to clean up and go see Marlena.
John finds Marlena at the hospital, and Kristen is with him. He tells Marlena he fears Stefano is behind the taping of Roman's funeral, and wants Marlena to move back in with him and Kristen! Marlena says she will be fine, and Kristen agrees, so John backs off. John goes to check on John Jr.'s next appointment, and Kristen and Marlena go at it. Kristen accuses Marlena of being responsible for Roman's death! Marlena gets ticked and walks off.
Marlena goes to the pier and runs into Major Dodd. Major Dodd informs her he has a message from Roman, and hands her a letter Roman wrote while he was held hostage.
Back in Salem Place Laura confronts Susan, who she thinks is Kristen, and informs her that she's going to prove to the world what a bitch she is! Laura says she knows everything about her and can't wait to expose her, but Susan doesn't understand and thinks Laura knows she's Susan and not Kristen.
Back at the hospital Vivian runs into Kristen and says she wasn't wearing that outfit earlier. John asks what she's up to know because Kristen has been with him all day. Suddenly Kristen and Vivian realize Susan is running around dressed like Kristen, and pulling it off!
Carrie returns to her apartment where Lucas is, and she tells him Austin is going to tell Sami the truth right now, and they don't have to play this stupid game any longer. Lucas tries to convince her today isn't the day to tell Sami, but she refuses to let anything stand in her way again. Carrie tells Lucas she knows he hopes something more will develop, but it's not going to happen, she loves Austin. Carrie and Lucas look through a photo album of Carrie's, and Lucas tries to make Carrie see that if they tell Sami the truth they'll be taking Sami's life, her husband, and her hope to walk again. Carrie and Lucas argue when someone knocks on her door. When Carrie answers it she looks at the person and says "you!"
Back in the apartment Austin tells Sami they need to talk to about the past. Sami begins to cough, and when she asks Austin to get her a glass of water she tries to stand up when Austin has his back to her. When Austin sees her trying to stand he wants to know what she's doing, and Sami falls to the couch. Austin tells her it takes time for her to get better, but Sami thinks that she doesn't have time. Sami fears that Austin was going to dump her for being a burden and breaks down into tears. Austin says what he has to say doesn't matter that she can't walk, but what he says will hurt her. Sami tells him she can take anything as long as Austin is with her, and tells her to what he has to say.
Laura confronts Susan, who is disguised as Kristen and tells her she will expose her evil ways. When Laura calls Susan by the name of Kristen she realizes that Laura thinks she's Kristen, and doesn't know she's really Susan. Susan tries to back out and leave, but Laura tells her she's going to expose her for what she did to her, and she's going to pay big time! Laura walks off and Susan looks at Elvis and says even that strange lady knows Kristen is a loser, and she (Susan) will be the winner!
At the hospital John is angry at Vivian for claiming she saw Kristen in Salem Place and wants to know what game she is playing now. Vivian says she doesn't know what she was thinking, she saw Susan with the baby in Salem Place. John is angry and wonders if Susan knows about the doctors appointment, and even though Kristen says she told him John decides to go to Salem Place and find her himself!
John, Kristen, and Vivian are searching for Susan, and they all find her , thankfully out of the Kristen disguise. John takes the baby to the car, and Kristen tells Susan she ordered her to stop impersonating her. Susan says that she just had to do it one last time so she knows what it's like to feel beautiful, but she's thrown the wig away. Kristen says she better not be lying to her, and Kristen walks off to take John Jr. to his appointment. After Kristen and Vivian are gone Susan pulls the wig out of a bag and says "I fooled you again Kristen."
John, Kristen, and Vivian arrive at the hospital, and before John and Kristen go into the doctor's office Vivian tells Kristen she better find a way to deal with Susan, and Kristen says she's working on it. John Jr. checks out with a clean bill of health, and John goes to make another appointment. When John is gone she asks the doctor if she could switch over to formula, but the doctor says to give John Jr. a little more time. Vivian approaches Kristen and informs her she's canceled the rest of her spa vacation to help her deal with Susan, and Kristen informs Vivian that Susan won't be a problem for much longer.
Marlena is reading Roman's letter to her and asks her to please find love again with John. (See the Misc Fun Facts for the whole letter). Marlena returns to her office for some privacy, when Laura shows up. Laura sees Marlena is hurting, and Marlena shows her the letter from Roman. Laura says that is such an unselfish request, and asks Marlena to abide by Roman's last wish. Marlena thinks she should let Kristen self destruct on her own, and Laura says if there was only a way she could monitor Kristen. Marlena tells Laura that John asked her to move back in, but she turned it down. Laura pleased to her to do it because she might lead them to Stefano and Peter. Laura says that if she can't do it for herself, please do it for Jack. Suddenly Susan calls to confirm her appointment, and Marlena says she can see her today. Laura tells Marlena she shouldn't be taking appointments today, but Marlena thinks by helping others she's helping herself.
In Salem Place Major Dodd gives John a letter from Roman, and lets John have his privacy. John read the letter and is blown away by the letter (see the Misc/Facts Page for the letter).
Susan, Kristen, and Vivian all return to the mansion when Marlena calls to inform Kristen and John she will be moving in with them after all! When Kristen and Vivian leave the room Susan takes a pin off of Kristen's jacket because Kristen said John gave it to her as a symbol of the love for the mother of his child. Susan puts the pin on and leaves to see Marlena.
Downstairs Kristen shows Vivian the secret room she's built for Susan and gives her the grand tour. She even has a little TV set up where She can monitor Susan, and Susan can see what is going on in the house. Suddenly they see John walk in upstairs and Kristen gets Vivian out of the room and they go to see him. Upstairs John is thinking over what to do, but he doesn't tell Kristen about the letter. John goes out to the garden on Kristen's suggestion that it's a nice place to think, and when he's gone Vivian pulls out the letter from Roman she saw John stick in a drawer and hands it to Kristen. Kristen reads the letter and is furious and Vivian says Roman probably sent the same type of letter to Marlena! Kristen says no way is she going to let Marlena move back in, but Vivian asks how she's going to stop her.
Meanwhile Laura and Marlena continue discuss the fact they only need one shred of evidence to prove Kristen is evil, and when they wonder what piece of evidence they need Susan shows up with Kristen's pin on!

Press Releases: December 2003
Evisa.com today won its appeal at the Ninth Circuit over whether its domain name diluted Visa's trademark for credit cards, keeping the word "visa" in the dictionary (and DNS servers) for now. "Visa is a generic word used throughout the world to describe foreign travel and was used long before it became a brand name for credit cards," said EFF Staff Attorney Jason Schultz. "The Court of Appeals wisely rejected Visa's attempt to monpolize use of the word 'visa' in a domain name without further proof of harm to Visa's business." EFF represented Evisa.com in its appeal along with Thomas Moore III of Tomlinson Zisko LLP.

In a victory for Verizon and the privacy of Internet users, the D.C. Circuit Court today dismissed the recording industry's subpoenas for user identities. (PDF opinion) The Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) has filed
nearly 3,000 subpoenas in Washington, D.C., as a prelude to
lawsuits against 382 alleged filesharers. The court today
ruled that those subpoenas are not authorized by the Digital
Millennium Copyright Act.
"Internet users are the winners in the Verizon case," said
Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) Staff Attorney Wendy
Seltzer. "The effect of the appeals court decision is that
we do not lose our privacy simply by connecting to the
Internet. The ruling stops the record labels from taking our
free speech rights as collateral damage in the campaign
against the American music fan."
EFF filed an amicus brief supporting Verizon on behalf of 45
consumer, privacy, and Internet industry groups. (case archive)
"Allowing ordinary people to influence the rules that affect their lives through website 'action centers' is one of the best benefits of the technology revolution," said EFF Legal Director Cindy Cohn. "The Forest Service is right to listen to the opposition presented by a broad coalition of groups, led by EFF, and allow the public to continue to make its voice heard."
The Forest Service announced that it is abandoning its plan to reject public comments from online action centers and other "duplicative" sources. EFF led a coalition of 19 diverse organizations, including the Campaign for Tobacco Free Kids, the League of Conservation Voters and the AFL-CIO, that objected to the proposed rule.

The RIAA announced yesterday that they have hired Bradley A. Buckles, director of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF), to head up their anti-piracy unit. "This is just another example of the RIAA's ongoing plan to treat American consumers like criminals instead of customers," said EFF Staff Attorney Jason Schultz. "If they really wanted to solve their file-sharing problems, the RIAA should have considered hiring someone with a business plan rather than a baton and a bulletproof vest."
