In the past Amazon has had a policy where if in 7 – 10 days after purchasing an item on the site you noticed the price cheaper somewhere else or if the price dropped on their site they would typically refund you the difference. Either to the credit card you purchased it with or by way of a Gift card.
From much reading online and personal experience today, they no longer do this. It is apparent they made a change sometime mid last year and then told the world they never had such a policy, to begin with, that they just gave their agents the freedom to choose to offer that.
Two days ago I placed an order for this Classic Brands Queen Adjustable Comfort Bed Base at the time it was $684.18, I had watched the price for a week hoping to see a price drop, but finally decided it was going to and placed my order as I really want to get my new bed setup so I can start getting a good nights sleep.
Today I happened to click over to the item to read the description and was shocked to see the price had dropped a huge $215.54, I hopped right on to chat to request my refund of the difference, because clearly, it has only been 2 days since ordering. I was promptly informed that Amazon does not do post-order price matching. This sure came as a surprise to me, as I have done this before when I was lucky enough to have a price drop just days after ordering.
The Amazon rep told me my only option to get the lower price would be to request a refund, refuse the delivery and let it go back and wait for a refund. Then I could place an order for a new one. To this point, I can not imagine how this is a better option. This base weighs 150 lbs. That means 3 trips for that. Once to my house, once back to Amazon and then another one to head out to my house. It completely boggles my mind how this makes any sense.
So basically I would steer clear of ordering ANYTHING of a big ticket item on Amazon if they can not offer this courtesy to their customers. I mean gees I've had a Prime account for ages now, I more or less do most of my shopping with them for any odds and ends I need and this is the treatment I get when they change the price so drastically.
I honestly would not be making such a fuss if this was a few dollar difference. Maybe even just something under $100 difference, it would hurt and would be irritating, but it would be low enough to shrug off. But over $200 difference in 2 days is INSANE. They should have some flexibility in cases like this. To this point I would even settle for a gift card with the difference, not an ideal choice but I always need stuff off the site LOL.

But who cares when you have such a wonderfully suave song stylist as John Alcorn and perhaps a glass of wine or scotch or two making you feel better?
That's the scene each Saturday night this January at Club 120 where one of Canada's finest crooners is presenting a month of cabarets dedicated to Broadway and Jazz composers who have contributed to the "Great American Songbook."
Last Saturday, John's Cole Porter show was sold-out. This week, January 14th, appropriately a month from Valentine's day, he pays tribute to Irving Berlin, composer of many romantic classics including "Steppin' Out with My Baby," "What'll I Do?," "Blue Skies" and "How Deep is the Ocean?"
The composer of the 1911 international hit "Alexander's Ragtime Band" is also known for his holiday classics "White Christmas" and "Easter Parade."
He wrote 17 complete scores for Broadway musicals and revues and contributed material to six more. "Call Me Madam" and "Annie Get Your Gun" are just two of his perennial hits.
His Hollywood musical movies included "Top Hat," "Holiday Inn" and "There's No Business Like Show Business."
Alcorn's additional January concerts are dedicated to Rodgers and Hart next Saturday, Jan. 21st and Buffalo native Harold Arlen on Jan. 28th, the composer of such beloved classics as "Blues in the Night" and "Over the Rainbow" and other songs from the Judy Garland movie "The Wizard of Oz."
John Alcorn's CDs including "Haunted" are available from us at Song & Script. Drop in or call us at 416-923-3044.

Hi all! Is my card ever apropos for today! It's raining buckets and has been all morning!
For my card this week, I created my umbrella with more of the left over bits of paper, coming up with this fantastically bright and cheerful striped umbrella. I cut my umbrella twice – once from white and a second time with the striped paper. My background is created using the Swiss Dots background stamp and I randomly stamped Hero Arts Neon inks onto the stamp. My card base is little — only a 4.25 square card. I then cut a rounded rectangle from Grout Gray and glued down my umbrella. Then, I went a little enamel dot crazy. What I love is that the enamel dot colors match the stripes — that is a total fluke, a total happy & bright fluke! My sentiment is from Keep on Rockin'. I pulled the bottom circles up onto the rectangle and added in yet another four enamel dots that match the umbrella handle.

How to Get Cast on Trading Spaces
4 Must Haves For Getting Cast on the Trading Spaces Reboot
The only thing more exciting than the news of Trading Spaces coming back is the possibility of being cast on the reboot. The TLC show is now officially looking for sets of neighbors to "work with our team of expert designers and contractors to create a new space for your neighbors to enjoy." Beyond being willing to turn a room of your house over to be completely redesigned at the discretion of your neighbors and a designer, there are a few casting nonnegotiables.
Want to know what it takes to make the cut? You must . . .
Apply as 2 Pairs
Spouses, siblings, friends, significant others, it doesn't matter how you're related to each other, but you must be paired off and you must apply together with your neighbor. Apparently the dynamics of the show just don't work as well with teams of singletons.
Live Near Each Other
Not surprisingly, considering the show is about neighbors redesigning each other's spaces, you have to actually live near the pair you're applying with. That doesn't mean your homes have to directly abut (though preference is given to those that do), but you at least need to live within a quarter mile of each other.
Be the Resident and Homeowner
In other words, renters need not apply — TLC isn't in the business of irritating landlords. You have to own and be living in the space you're submitting to be made over.
Actually Know Each Other
If you're thinking of introducing yourself to your neighbor with the sole intention of recruiting them to apply with you, think again. TLC only wants applicants with a preexisting relationship as to add to the authenticity and drama.

For both better and for worse, 2017 will be remembered for the #MeToo campaign. It may have kicked into high gear after the Harvey Weinstein scandal but the outrage started growing during the Bill Cosby trial and the brouhaha over the firing of Fox News' Bill O'Reilly.
It was also a year marked by tragedies around the world. More than 620,000 Rohingya Muslims fled from Burma to Bangladesh to escape a bloody campaign of ethnic cleansing. There were terrorist attacks from Istanbul to Mexico to Paris to Pakistan — and a deadly carnage, too, from mass shootings. Terrifyingly memorable among them was the killing of almost 60 and wounding of 400 at an outdoor concert in Las Vegas.
The world, too, mourned the passing of Hollywood idols and legendary musicians. Among them: Mary Tyler Moore, Roger Moore, Jerry Lewis, Sam Shepard, Chuck Berry and Fats Domino. Canadians said farewell to Giller Prize founder Jack Rabinovich, CBC host Stuart McLean, authors Richard Wagamese and Richard B. Wright, labour leader Bob White and Toronto city councillor Pam McConnell.
And in Toronto, who can forget that the very first employee tested under the TTC's new drug-testing program, ahem, failed.
Still, despite the lows, villains and madness, there were also highs, heroes and magical moments to celebrate in 2017. Here, the Star presents, then, its annual end-of-year Darts and Laurels.
LAUREL: In memoriam to Gord Downie. The Tragically Hip frontman inspired us with his music, dedication to Indigenous rights, and indomitable spirit in the face of incurable brain cancer.
LAUREL: To Prince Harry. His Invictus Games for wounded, injured and sick servicemen and women moved Toronto.
DART(S): To Donald Trump, for managing in his first year of office to alienate the world, never mind his own country, by — to name just a few things — promoting white supremacy and misogyny, attacking minorities, immigrants and a free press and imperiling us all by playing childish games with a nuclear power.
LAUREL: To Justin Trudeau, for not being Trump-like in the least.
LAUREL: To Jagmeet Singh, for injecting style and substance into the federal New Democratic Party and Canadian politics in general.
LAUREL: To the millions of women who donned pink pussy-caps and marshaled the biggest ever march on Washington to loudly protest Trump's inauguration. You showed the world the way.
DART: To United Airlines, for dragging a 69-year-old doctor down the aisle and off a plane — knocking out two of his teeth, breaking his nose and giving him a concussion — after he refused to "voluntarily" give up his seat on an overbooked flight. Can you say "passenger rights?"
LAUREL: To the Toronto Argonauts, for winning the Grey Cup in a nail-biter game with the Calgary Stampeders, even though many fickle fans had abandoned you.
LAUREL: To harm reduction volunteers, for setting up a pop-up supervised injection site in a tent in Toronto's Moss Park in August. You put the city, which hadn't managed to open up even one of three approved sites at that point, to shame.
DART: To Premier Kathleen Wynne, for turning down Mayor John Tory's request to impose tolls on two Toronto-owned highways. The city needs more revenue tools and you road-blocked a potential biggie.
LAUREL: To the TTC's former CEO Andy Byford. Torontonians may have laughed when the American Public Transportation Association named the TTC the best public transit agency in North America, but you worked tirelessly in your five years at the helm to make it happen.
LAUREL: To Margaret Atwood. The TV adaptation of her novel The Handmaid's Tale won numerous Emmy and Television Critics Awards for completely capturing the dystopian fears of a nation under Donald Trump's thumb. And you wrote it in 1985!
LAUREL: To Bitcoin, the little computer currency that could. After soaring 1,000 per cent since the beginning of the year, bitcoin rose as much as 15 per cent in just one day on Nov. 29, before falling and rising again. Follow the bouncing ball!
DART: To growing income inequality. Oxfam reported just eight men, from Bill Gates to Michael Bloomberg, owned as much wealth as 3.6 billion people. Humbug.
DART: To North Korea, for adding to world instability with its nuclear testing program.
DART: To the National Hockey League, for showing poor sportsmanship by refusing to send its players to the 2018 Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang, South Korea.
LAUREL: To Wiarton Willie (RIP), the albino groundhog that gave hope — dashed as it often was — that we would only have six more weeks of winter.

Reasons for Designation
Around 6,000 moated sites are known in England. They consist of wide ditches,
often or seasonally water-filled, partly or completely enclosing one or more
islands of dry ground on which stood domestic or religious buildings. In some
cases the islands were used for horticulture. The majority of moated sites
served as prestigious aristocratic and seigneurial residences with the
provision of a moat intended as a status symbol rather than a practical
military defence. The peak period during which moated sites were built was
between about 1250 and 1350 and by far the greatest concentration lies in
central and eastern parts of England. However, moated sites were built
throughout the medieval period, are widely scattered throughout England and
exhibit a high level of diversity in their forms and sizes. They form a
significant class of medieval monument and are important for the understanding
of the distribution of wealth and status in the countryside. Many examples
provide conditions favourable to the survival of organic remains.
The circular moat 580m south west of Church Farm is believed to form the earthwork remains of the earliest Holton Manor, a small manor house with associated buildings situated on a moated island with open views in all directions. Such early manorial settlements were functional and sometimes defensive rather than comfortable or luxurious. As a result it is not surprising that it was later moved to the site occupied until last century by the main house, where a much larger moated island with room for more extensive buildings, gardens and other signs of wealth was available.
As a result of this shift, the early manor site will not have suffered from the damage of later building foundations and cellars, and will contain archaeological and environmental evidence relating to its construction, occupation and the earlier landscape in which it was built. In addition, along with the later site, it provides a good example of the changing needs and wealth of medieval manorial families, and the fashions which affected the later development of the landscape around them, in this case the landscaping of Holton Park.
Legacy Record - This information may be included in the List Entry Details.
The monument includes a roughly circular moated island situated 280m to the
south east of a larger moat which was the former site of Holton House in
Holton Park and which is the subject of a separate scheduling.
The roughly circular moated site occupies a position with good all-round views, and is believed to be the site of the earlier manor house first mentioned in 1367 but probably in existence at least a century earlier. The central island is roughly level and forms an almost perfect circle with a diameter of 27.5m. There are no surviving building remains visible at ground level, but from comparison with similar sites, these can be expected to survive as buried remains.
The island is surrounded by a broad ditch as much as 2.5m deep in places and measuring between 6.5m and 8m wide except at its north west edge where it has been extended by a further 6m to form a broader rounded hollow.
The site is very similar to the early manor moat at Woodstock, in the grounds of Blenheim Palace, 17km to the north west and the subject of a separate scheduling. At both sites it appears that the later house was constructed on a new site leaving the earthwork remains of the earlier abandoned moat within the later landscaping of the park. At Holton the fact that the later house was also moated has led to its confusion with the earlier manor site, and this smaller moat has sometimes been identified as a possible Civil War earthwork. Although the park was occupied by Parliamentarian troops in 1643, there is no evidence that any large-scale earthworks were constructed, and in any case, it is more likely that troops would have made use of existing earthworks at first, as occurred at Cornbury Park near Charlbury.
The site formed the focus of the early medieval manorial settlement which later shifted as part of the wider development of the landscape associated with the changing needs and fashions of the owners of Holton Park.

Installation of Engine & Gearbox
Background & Preparation: Having mentally worked my way around the engine and gearbox, and having plucked up enough courage to get my act together, I decided the safest way to install the engine and gearbox was to use the levelling-bar method. This option virtually eliminates the risk and there is no chance of anything slipping or causing undue pressure on anything. E.g. sump, water pump etc.
I did consider buying an engine hoist, but that would end up being serious garage jewellery after using it once; so I hired one. But I couldn't hire a levelling-bar; only webbing straps which I didn't want to use so I decided to buy one... (Less garage jewellery and something I can sell easily if I decide to...) I'm not a fan of spending money on something I will use only once, but in this case, safety was paramount, followed by a very healthy and fiscal preservation requirement to not drop or damage the engine or gearbox.
In addition, I looked on YouTube and found many videos of how to lift and install an engine and gearbox... Some were very good and some were very very scary.
A great confidence booster -and enabler for me- was the video made by the Engine Factory of how to properly lift an engine. This, by attaching a supporting device i.e. a levelling-bar or steel rope with loops on the end and a runner in between... And coincidentally, the demonstrator (Tim) was the person who built my engine.
Looking on the web for a levelling-bar, it became clear very quickly that there are 'levelling-bars,' and there are "levelling-bars." Some were 31.5 cm between chain pivots. My engine, a V8 Ford 302 and the heads being 50 cm long, required something more fitting, so I opted for the Machine Mart one; this one having a generous 73.0 cm between chain pivot points... (Am happy with this.) Also, the bar came with adjustable hooks that attached to the chains and of which enabled me to precisely adjust the length at each end to equalize the weight distribution... (A very useful feature and one I had not considered.)
The Edelbrock RPM Performer heads have three bolt holes at each end. These for bling, pulley kits and for lifting. However, the threads are Imperial (3/8 and 7/16th); and figure the odds on this... not a mile from where I live there is a Tool and Bolt shop called "Harrogate Tool & Bolt Ltd" which specialise in Imperial nuts and bolts (as well as Metric.) So a couple of hours later I had the necessary high-tensile imperial bolts I needed. And most of this time was spent in the new-found Aladdin's Cave of Imperial goodies having a look around and chatting to the owner about "stuff"... (Planets lining up or what..!)
Back in the garage, and with everything in place and attached, I took up the strain.
The engine was lifted up to just off the floor and I let it sit there for a while thinking the whole contraption would collapse [which it didn't.] Then I removed the steel engine transit frame that was attached to the engine mount bolt holes, and of which kept it secure and stable during transit. Then I attached the engine mounts (hand tight only) my rationale being to drop [metaphorically speaking] the engine directly onto the chassis mounting plates... (More on this later.)
So with the radiator and cross-member bars removed from the chassis, it was time to have the engine and gearbox gain some altitude.
I raised the engine and gearbox to about 45 cm off the floor and rolled the chassis underneath as far as it would go. Then I turned the handle on the leveller-bar to lower the back end to allow the gearbox to clear the top chassis bar at the back of the engine bay. I had this bar protected with a stout piece of webbing to protect the powder coat if I knocked it with the bell housing.
- The engine mounts, being already fitted to the engine, were in the way and were snagging on the two chassis engine mounting plates. This had the effect of not allowing the bell housing to clear the top bar of the chassis frame, therefore it would not go down or in any further; so I removed them which allowed the box to drop down more and slip under the top bar, and in, very nicely.
- I had to be very careful not to dink the front brake pipe with the front of the sump. There is an "L" shaped part of the brake pipe run that protrudes a couple of inches inwards towards the sump. I assume it's there to absorb vibration, and it was a simple task of just manoeuvring the sump around it until it cleared the pipe.
Also, at this point in the proceedings, I reattached the mounts and gently lowered the engine down until it was just touching the chassis plates... (So far so good and no drama.)
Then, after ~30 minutes of admiring and jiggling to square everything up, the tension was fully released and the engine and gearbox were in and sitting pretty... (Definitely tea and chocolate digestive time.)
I also moved the front flexible brake line by re-positioning the "P" clip (the one just below the lower pulley.) It was originally running along the top of the bar directly under the moving pulley but with only about 1 cm clearance. Wasn't comfortable with this so I moved it to the front of the bar and well out of the way of any movement and bouncing.
Prior to all this, I had test-fitted the mounts on the chassis plates to ensure they would move from side-to-side as they were designed to. They are designed to move about +-0.3 cm each way; and I assume this movement has something to do with getting the engine to sit properly... (But that's a too technical thought for me at this stage.) I used M12 bolts to secure the engine mounts to the chassis with a couple of washers to take up the slack.
Gearbox Mounting Plate:
The gearbox was nicely positioned in the tunnel and I temporarily supported it with a plywood mounting template. I used the 1/4 inch steel plate from the engine transit frame to manufacture the proper one. I just needed to cut it to size and drill six holes in it. Not too concerned about drive-line angles at this stage but I will get this sorted before I tighten everything up.
Comment: Most gearbox mounting plates I'm seen on blogs are attached to the underside of the chassis support frame... I'm not comfortable with this configuration as all the weight and stresses are on the four fixing bolts. I intend to put mine on the top of the two fixing brackets, therefore having all the weight supported by the plate and therefore having no stress being placed on the retaining bolts.
Measured up and cut the plate using my 9-inch angle grinder (man-cave tool or what..!!!) then dressed it and tweaked the fitting with a hand file.
Issue: Perfect fit, however, when trial fitting the plate, the weld fillets on the chassis (where the supporting brackets are welded onto the frame) were causing the plate to not sit flush, so I trimmed the underside edges to ensure a snug mating of the horizontal surfaces.
Marked up for the holes by lowering the gearbox (with the gearbox mount now attached) until the two bolts were touching the plate. Then I marked-up these and the positions for the four plate securing holes and drilled them for a perfect fit. I've used M12's for the four fixing bolts and the two mount bolts were 3/8th... (Job's a good'un)
Prop Shaft: Having the gearbox in position with the gearstick centralised, I measured the distance accurately between the back of the gearbox and the front of the diff' for the prop shaft. Took a picture and sent it to GD and placed an order.
Drive Line Angles: Did some research on drive-line angles and Tremec have a very nice Smartphone App' that takes three angles and tells you if the angle differences between the gearbox and diff' (with the prop shaft in place) are within acceptable limits. Much more to be learnt on this subject though...
Carroll Shelby: Ford Engine Association
(Fact file from the Web)
In August 2012, three months after Carroll Shelby died, the city of Dearborn, Mich., granted Ford Motor Co.'s request to change the name of a street on the company's sprawling product development campus to Carroll Shelby Way.
It's a one-of-a-kind honor -- no other street on Ford's campus is named for a key figure in the company's history. Even though Shelby's relationship with Ford turned rocky for a time in the 1970s and '80s, no one did more to burnish Ford's performance cred than Shelby.
Born in 1923 in Leesburg, Texas, Shelby roared through the world's automotive scene like a tornado, leaving marks as a racer, automaker, marketer and businessman. He is the only man to win Le Mans as a driver, team owner and manufacturer. The name Shelby is synonymous with performance.
Shelby vehicles such as the Ford-powered Cobra sports car, first-generation Shelby Mustang, Le Mans-winning GT40 and modern Mustang are among Ford's post-World War II highlights.
But Shelby also had a hand in the creation of the Dodge Viper sports car, various high-performance Chrysler products and his own sports car, the Shelby Series 1.
The Road to Ford
In the late '50s, as a driver on the world's racetracks, Shelby devised the plan that eventually took him to Ford. His dream: Build an agile and powerful lightweight sports car using a European chassis and a reliable American V-8 engine. He did not intend to make more than 100 or so cars a year. The race-ready cars would have the bare essentials to make them road legal.
In 1962, Shelby spoke with Ford's Dave Evans, chief engineer of a new, lightweight 221-cubic-inch V-8, about using the engine.
Evans sent Shelby an engine to see if it would fit in an AC Ace, a British-made sports car. It did. And not long after, Shelby was in business in a rented warehouse in Venice, Calif., installing Ford engines into AC bodies with flared fenders for fatter tires. He named the car the Cobra. The 221-cubic-inch V-8 later morphed into the Mustang's 260-, 289- and 302-cubic-inch V-8s.
In spring 1964, Ford launched the Mustang. By summer it was available with its first high-performance engine, a 271-hp, 289-cubic-inch V-8. The GT version added dual exhaust, fog lights, styled steel wheels and other items.
But a horsepower war was brewing in Detroit, touched off by the Pontiac GTO. The '64 GTO could be ordered with as much as 348 hp. Soon after came high-performance Dodges, Oldsmobiles, Chevrolets and Buicks.
Needed: More muscle
The cigar-chomping Lee Iacocca, Ford's general manager in the early 1960s, knew of Shelby and knew that he was stuffing Ford engines into British-made sports cars.
It's unclear whether Iacocca approached Shelby or vice versa about turning the Mustang into a performance car.
But in Shelby, Iacocca found someone who knew his way around Ford's parts bin and whose name could bolster the Mustang's performance cred. In Iacocca, Shelby found someone willing to write the checks to make things happen with a minimum of interference.
"It was Lee Iacocca who really stayed behind us all the way, encouraged us, and then got us into the Mustang program," Shelby wrote in Alex Gabbard's 1990 book, Fast Mustangs.
Ford shipped a few early 1965 Mustang fastbacks for Shelby to test in California. And Shelby's track testing exposed some weaknesses.
Shelby told Ford the car needed quicker steering, stronger brakes and more power.
"Ford Motor Co. marketing executives were game to support almost anything Shelby could come up with, knowing the rub-off from a Shelby modified Mustang would increase sales of non-Shelby Mustangs," Wallace Wyss wrote in his 1977 book, Shelby's Wildlife: The Cobras and Mustangs.
With the Mustang deal in hand, Shelby rented a Los Angeles airport hangar in 1965 and set up a production line. Shelby got Ford to commit to giving him two days' of 1965 Mustang production from the San Jose, Calif., plant.
Performance tweaks included a hood with air scoops, a new intake with a Holley carburetor, a performance cam, exhaust headers, big disc brakes and a retuned suspension.
Horsepower jumped to 306, but because the Mustang was smaller, lighter and more agile than Detroit's mid-sized muscle cars, Shelby Mustangs occupied their own niche. Blue stripes were added down the hood and on the sides. A fiberglass cover was placed where the back seat would have been.
The car created a stir. The GT350 could do something its higher-powered Detroit muscle-car rivals could not: handle well.
Hal Sperlich, the Ford product planner who helped bring the Mustang idea to life, credits Shelby with helping build the Mustang's performance image.
"He came in and worked with engineering and styling and product planning and brought some of his ideas," Sperlich told Automotive News recently. "It was an alliance. He had a close relationship for a lot of years using Ford power in his cars and putting his signature to Shelbyized versions of Fords. He was a great, fun guy."
The arrangement lasted until the final 1966 Mustangs were built. Then Ford transferred production of Shelby Mustangs to a small company in suburban Detroit. The '67 Shelby Mustang got bigger and heavier. Shelby, tied up with Ford's efforts to race the GT40 at Le Mans and beat Ferrari, distanced himself from Ford.
The Shelby Mustang carried on until the 1970 model year, adding luxury and grand touring features and a convertible version. In the mid-1970s Ford angered Shelby by using the Cobra name on the Pinto-based Mustang II. In 1988, Shelby sued Ford for using the GT350 name on a Mustang.
By the late '90s, Ford and Shelby put their differences aside and Shelby helped develop the 2005 GT, the supercar created to celebrate the company's 100th anniversary.
Shelby continued working with Ford on the redesigned Mustang launched in 2005.
The most powerful American-made production car available today is the Shelby Mustang GT500 with its 662-hp V-8. It stays true to Shelby's original vision for the cars he helped create: that they could go straight from the showroom to the racetrack.
"Before Carroll left us, he spent hundreds of hours with the Ford engineering team," says Jim Owens, Mustang marketing manager. "He knew what it took to make a car a racing legend and he shared that with the Ford team. So a little bit of Carroll is in every Mustang we will produce now and into the next 50 years.

Insights and Inspiration
from the
Holy Land
Rabbi Ephraim Schwartz
"Your friend in Karmiel"
March 11th 2016 -Volume 6, Issue 23 1st Adar II 5776
Parshat Pikudei
Occupation Therapy
I had reached that point in my life when it was time to find a 'real' job. After 15 years of Jewish educational outreach work and practicing as Rabbi-it takes a lot of practice- it became time in life to do what my parents always said I should do. Find a 'real' job. Or as they so eloquently put it. "What type of job is a 'Rabbi' for a nice young Jewish boy". Leave that for the "goyim". A Jew is meant to be a doctor lawyer or an accountant. We pay other people to do the Rabbi-thing for us. The guys that can't make it in the real world. Their assumption being of course that I was a nice young Jewish boy. My teachers and Rabbis had another opinion though. Which is why became a Rabbi in the first place J.
Now although I had a college degree, in Finance incidentally- which actually assisted me tremendously in life in understanding the principles behind why I had no money- I wasn't really drawn to field. Playing with OPM-Other People's Money never really enticed me. Other people's mishegas though I always found fascinating. So there I was trying to figure out what I should do with my life, and fortunately I bumped into one of these personal coach people. Y'know those guys that help you figure out what to do and how to succeed in life and your personal goals by inspiring you and building up your confidence and complimenting you repeatedly- kind of the opposite of some of my High School teachers. These coach people actually are there to repair some of that damage. Kind of like a therapy not covered by health insurance, although with Obama-care I'm not sure anymore, maybe if you're a Syrian refugee you'd be covered. Anyways this kind coach was happy to help me with my occupational dilemma. His wise words of wisdom to me were to find something that I was good at and that enjoyed doing and then figure out how to make a living doing something in that field. "For if you enjoy what you are doing then it is not really work- it's doing what you love and getting paid for it. And you will excel at it, for you will be living inspired.
Now as my faithful readers know that there is not really many things I enjoy more than chulent. What can I say, it inspires me, though not so much those that sit next to me a few hours later. Now I really can't make chulent. I can fry an egg and even make potato latkas, but I'm not really a cook or chef. There is also no real market for a gourmet chulent critic for those connoisseurs either, although the thought did pass my mind to meet this untapped rapidly growing market. At least their waists are growing. So I gave it much thought and came to the realization that I really am good and enjoy vacation very much. I'm like the king of "Bein HaZmanim" (school intercession) vacations. I like fun and I know how to do that well. Now there is certainly no better place to have a great vacation then Israel. Hashem made sure of that for us. I mean where else in the world do you have ski- resorts, beaches, fun water hikes, jeep rides, deserts and hills and valleys as well as great Kosher restaurants and world class wineries. Oh yeah and there's even some history- like a few thousand years' worth and holy spots to go tap into your soul as well, so you don't feel too guilty about having so much fun and can tell yourself that it's really a "learning experience". All the party and no guilt-even a mitzva for doing it. It doesn't get better than that. So we made Aliya. I became a tour guide and I bless God every day for giving me the best job in the world and that special coach for guiding me to my own personal role in this world.
The truth is I didn't really need that coach. If I had studied a little harder and read the Torah a little better I could have found his tip for life to me in the subtle words of this week's Torah portion. This week the Torah concludes the Book of Shemot, our Exodus from Egypt that culminates in the building of the Mishkan/Tabernacle for Hashem. From the beginning of the Book when we came down to Egypt, a family of shepherds, we became pyramid builders, persecuted slaves and prisoners under Pharaoh. Yet Hashem rescues us with the greatest miracles of all times, splits the sea, takes us to Sinai and gives us the Torah, in the most important revelation in the history of the world. We of course sin very quickly and in the process achieve an even greater closeness to our Creator as we learn that we can do Teshuva and He will forgive us. Our bond is eternal, if the Golden Calf debacle didn't shake it then nothing ever will. Yes this story ends this week as we finally erect that permanent home for Hashem, that was the Mishkan not only the physical one that he sojourned amongst us in the wilderness and in Israel in, but the Mishkan within each and every one of us as well.
There is a fascinating verse as the people bring all the handiwork that they had made for the Mishkan to Moshe to put it all together. The verse tells us
"Like everything that Hashem had commanded Moshe, so did the Children of Israel do, all the-Avoda- labor. Moshe saw all the -Melacha- work and behold they had done it as Hashem had commanded, so they had done; and Moshe blessed them."
Did you guys catch the subtlety there? I wrote it in Hebrew and bolded it for you. The Jews brought their Avoda- their labor to Moshe. But Moshe sees the Melacha- the work. The difference between the two is that Avoda- labor comes from the word Eved- slave. The work of a slave has no personal interest or benefit. The slave works or labors for his master, because he is his slave, his chattel. He serves to accomplish and see that his owners will and desires are fulfilled. Not really a particularly fun or inspiring job or role to have in life. We had close to 300 years of that life in Egypt. 300 miserable, not fun or inspiring years in the slave-pits of Egypt. Yet we came out. We stood at Sinai and accepted upon ourselves willfully and with euphoria to be totally committed servants and yes- Avadim- slaves to our Father, Our King, our Creator. Yet unlike in the case of Pharaoh we weren't forced into slavery, we accepted it. The reason? We found a job that we were good at, that we were inspired at that would ultimately give us meaning and purpose in each and every days of our lives and in every act that we do. We became partners with our Master in Creation, in healing and uplifting the world. We had become his human angels on this world. His Malachim, whose work was not Avoda but rather Melacha- the same Creative achievement and term that the Torah uses to describe Hashem's creation of the world.
"And He rested on the seventh day 'Mikol Melachto Asher Asa'- from all His work that He made".
Just as Hashem blesses his Creation and the end so too does Moshe, the quintessential Eved Hashem- servant of Hashem, bless the nation. The blessing Rashi tells us that it that the Divine presence should always be found in the work that we do. This is not a blessing for success, this is not a blessing for health, wealth, and children or even for forgiveness after the sin of the Golden Calf for which the Mishkan is meant to atone. Moshe blesses the Jewish with the ultimate blessing. That we should see Hashem in every act that we do. That all our work no matter if it is an accountant, computer technician, Doctor lawyer, politician and even a Rabbi and teacher should see that their work is something that is being done to serve Hashem. It shouldn't never merely be a way of just making money and supporting ones family and even paying your bills. Our work should be Melacha, something that has eternal significance. Something that aligns our goals with the Divine. Something that uplifts the world and brings it to its fulfillment. If you live like that then it is never just work. It is doing what we are inspired and enjoy to do, what we were put here to do. And there's nothing better than that.
Have a fantastic Shabbos and an ever increasingly happy Chodesh,
Rabbi Ephraim Schwartz
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h_y9F5St4j0 –In honor of my English anniversary this week for my dear wife!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4i4nN3JyeLg – the words are Im Al Hamelech Tov from the Megilla If it is good for the King and I have found favor in your eyes give me my life nation as my request.
https://youtu.be/KI7-Jc2JtUc –And the fast version of the above with millions of dancing Chasidim-Ok maybe not millions
"Kol zman es rirt zikh an aiver, klert men nit fun kaiver."- "As long as one limb stirs, one does not think of the grave"
"I am an ignoramus among men; what is man that You should acknowledge him? However, Elokim saw my lowliness and my suffering, and He brought me to the house of "Admor" / our master, our teacher and our rabbi, the Gaon / genius and Chassid / pious one, the rabbi of all the sons of the diaspora, in Vilna. Hashem gave me favor in his eyes and I served him with all my strength. For all of the two years minus one third that I was with him, I did not move from him, I held him and did not let go, and I did not leave his tent day or night. Where he went, I went; where he slept, I slept; and my hand did not leave his at all."
Harav Menachem Mendel Of Shklov 1st of Adar this Friday 1827-Many people unfortunately associate the return to Israel as having started in the early 20th century with the Zionist movement. Which intitially was started with the ideas of Theodore Herzl as a secular movement. The real story is the greatest sages from all generations always dreamed of returning to Israel and many of them came here despite the great dangers and almost certain loss of life of many of their loved ones just to realize the dream of lving in Hashem's promised land, the place from where the Shechina never departed. The Chasidic retrun of the students of the Baal Shemt Tov in the late 1700's is most famous as well is the return of the atagonists of the Chasidim the Mitnagdim led by the students of the Gaon of Vilna. Love of Eretz Yisrael and its central place in Jewish life crossed all differences. The return of the students of the Gaon was led by his primary student Harav Menachem Mendel of Shklov.
One of the greatest students of the Vilna Gaon,Reb Menache Mendel was a son of Harav Baruch Bendit. Who traces his lineage back to Rabbi Yehudah Ha'Nasi the editor of the Mishna and a descendant of King David. He studied for only two years under his Rebbi the Gaon however it is he who is credited with bringing all of the writings of the Gaon to the light of the world.
Eventually he became the leader of the Perushim, a group of the Gra's talmidim who ascended to Eretz Yisrael in the year 1807. Their journey involved many hardships; and even after they settled in Eretz Yisrael they encountered adversity. These challenges were also encountered by a group of Chassidim led by Harav Menachem Mendel of Vitebsk, which ascended to Eretz Yisrael at about the same time. Originally they moved to Tiverya where they joined the Chasidim there who had come on the Aliya some years before however to avoid any fighting they moved to the city of Tzefat, where they established their yeshivos.
Reb Menachem Mendel writes that how there he established "batei medrashim full of sefarim." After a terrible plague hit the city of Tzfat in 1812 that killed many of his students and colleagues, he subsequently relocated to Yerushalayim and there, too, he established houses of Torah and tefillah. He managed to acquire the abandoned Churvah Shul in the old city of Yerushalayim, which he considered a tremendous merit. This famous shul was destroyed by the Jordanians in the war of 5708/1948. It has recently been rebuilt.
Historically, his wanting to settle in Yerushalayim was very significant because the first Ashkenazi settlement in Eretz Yisrael, led by Rabi Yehudah HaChassid in the year 1700, failed, leaving behind great debts. Subsequently, whenever Ashkenazic Jews tried to settle in Yerushalayim, the authorities would demand money from them and then evict them from the city. (Interestingly, traditional Yerushalmi garb closely resembles Arabic dress because their permission to live in Yerushalayim was only because they passed themselves off as Sefardic Jews in the colored robes which did not look like the black and white Ashkenzic attire.
When talmidei haGra arrived in Eretz Yisrael, they initiated settling the old debts of the Ashkenazic community with the Yerushalayim authorities. Later, in 5597/1837, when a major earthquake struck Tzfas, groups of olim dispersed, many of them arriving in Yerushalayim. That is when the old debt was finally cleared, and the Ashkenazi Yidden, led by Harav Yisrael of Shklov, established themselves.
Reb Menachem Mendel was known for his vast Torah knowledge and his profound understanding of Kabbalah, and he devoted many years to writing his insights. It was known that he wrote 10 sefarim, but the only printed work that remains is Mayim Adirim on the Idra Zuta, with footnotes from his student Harav Yitzchak Eizik Chaver. He also printed many of the sefarim of his Rebbi, the Gra. Many of his writings remain in manuscript form, yet to be printed.
He passed on the first day of Rosh Chodesh Adar, and is buried on Har Hazeisim in the Jerusalem he had literally given new life to with his leadership and return.
answer below at end of Email
Q. Burial in ossuaries appears in Israel for the first time during:
A. The Chalcolithic period
- The First Temple period
- The Second Temple period
- The Mishna and Talmudic period
Sometimes we can glean an important insight from Rashi into something significant in the text, not by what he says but rather by what he doesn't say. This week's Torah portion is the one with the least commentary. Quite easy for someone who reviews the Torah portion each week with Rashi to get through. The reason it is assumed is because there's not much to comment on. After all the majority of the Parsha is merely a recounting of everything that took place as they constructed the Mishkan and Rashi had explained this time and time again in the various Parshiyot that took place until now. Yet the Rebbe of Lubavitch notes, that shouldn't Rashi be troubled and at least ask the simple question that troubles everyone when reading the Parsha. Why again? Haven't we done this and heard this before. Why can't the Torah just say in one simple Pasuk that they di it all as Moshe commanded instead of elaborating each vessel and each detail of the building. Yet Rashi seems to be silent. What happened to our great commentator?
The Rebbe answers that Rashi already answered this question, and therefore felt no need to explain the obvious. Where you ask? The Rebbe notes that there is another time in the Torah back in Bereshis where the Torah seems to give a seemingly needless repetition. Know where? All the way back in Chayei Sara when Eliezer the servant of Avraham goes to find a spouse for Yitzchak. There the Torah repeats the entire story and the words of Eliezer to "Uncle Lavan", of how he left Avraham and arrived very fast miraculously there. He recounts the promise to Avraham to find a wife for his family, although the Torah a few verses before that already told us all of this.
Rashi there comments that the Rabbi Acha teaches us that the
"Conversation between the servants of the Patriarchs is more pleasing to Hashem then the Torah of their descendants- the children of Israel. For the Parsha of Eliezer is repeated in the Torah and many essential elements of the Torah were only given in hints."
The Rebbe suggests that there are two parts of Torah. There are the laws and mitzvos, like Shabbat, Kosher and family purity which are barely mentioned in the Torah in proportion to the vast intricacies and details of these laws. Yet there is another part of Torah that is the stories and conversations and the day to day lives of our ancestors. They are more pleasing and essential to Hashem then all the rest. They are the heart and spirit of the Jewish people and our tradition. We are commanded V'Shinanton LiVanecha- to teach Torah to our children, yet we are also commanded right after that V'Dibarta Bam and we shall speak about them. We should have conversation about our Torah. we must tell over our stories. We must share them perhaps even more so than the laws and commandments.
Thus he explains the Torah here repeats obviously the story of how the people each brought each item. Each one ws special each one needs to be recounted. Hear that story again and again. If Hashem and the Torah repeats the story of the "servants of our Patriarchs- Al Achas Kama V'Kama- how much more so the stories of the children of Israel at their moment of glory.
There was no need for Rashi to explain this again. It was simple. It was obvious. A father can't stop talking about what His children did. The silence of Rashi is itself is the comment. Beautiful!
Initiation of the Auto-De Fe (burning at the Stake) by the Spanish Inquisition – 7th Adar 1481- We have always suffered from anti-semitism yet after close to over a thousand years of Jews living in Spain and close to 800 years of being the aristocracy of that nation led us to forget that we were in Exile. That all changed with the advent of the Inqusition. On 1 November 1478, King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella received permission from Pope Sixtus IV to name Inquisitors throughout their domains, to protect Catholicism as the "true faith". Ferdinand's action intially met great resistance yet in spite of this social discontent between 1487 and 1505 the Chapter of Barcelona processed more than 1000 people, of which only 25 were absolved.
The first auto-da-fé took place in Seville, Spain, on the 7th of Adar in the year 1481; when six of the men and and one woman were burnt at the stake. Later, Franciscan missionaries brought the Inquisition to the New World. The auto-da-fé was a major aspect of the tribunals, and the final step in the Inquisition process. It involved a Catholic Mass, prayer, a public procession of those found guilty, and a reading of their sentences.
An Inquisition usually began with the public proclamation of a grace period of 40 days. Anyone who was guilty or knew of someone who was guilty was urged to confess. If the accused were charged, they were presumed guilty. Officials could apply torture during the trial. And they did that quite brutally. Inquisitors were required to hear and record all testimony. Proceedings were to be kept secret, and the identity of witnesses was not known to the accused.After the trial, officials proclaimed the prisoner's sentence and administered in an auto-da-fé. The auto-da-fé was not an impromptu event, but thoroughly orchestrated. Preparations began a month in advance, and only occurred when the inquisition authorities believed there were enough prisoners in a given community or city. The ritual took place in public squares or esplanades and lasted several hours with ecclesiastical and civil authorities in attendance.
Bordering the city's plaza, an all-night vigil would be held with prayers, ending in Mass at daybreak and a breakfast feast prepared for all who joined in.The ceremony of public penitence then began with a procession of prisoners, who bore elaborate visual symbols on their garments and bodies. These symbols were called sanbenito, and were made of yellow sackcloth. They served to identify the specific acts of treason of the accused, whose identities were kept secret until the very last moment. In addition, the prisoners usually had no idea what the outcome of their trial had been or their sentencing.The prisoners were taken outside the city walls to the burning place. There the sentences were read. Prisoners who were acquitted or whose sentence was suspended would fall on their knees in thanksgiving, but the condemned would be punished including whipping, torture, and burning at the stake.
The auto-da-fé was also a form of penitence for the public viewers, because they too were engaging in a process of reconciliation and by being involved were given the chance to confront their sins and be forgiven by the Church.

I'm not an alcoholic alcoholics go to meetings, I'm a drunk, we go to parties.
You say alcoholic, I'll say alcohol enthusiast
Why is it called Alcoholics Anonymous when the first thing you do is stand up and say, "My name is Tom and I'm an alcoholic?"
The drunken wino was stumbling down the street with one foot on the curb and one foot in the gutter. A cop pulled up and said, "I've got to take you in, sir. You're obviously drunk" The wasted wino asked, "Ociffer, are ya absolutely sure I'm drunk?" "Yeah, buddy, I'm sure," said the copper. "Let's go." Obviously relieved, the wino said "That's a relief - I thought I was a cripple."
Police Patrol From the state where drunk driving is considered a sport, comes this absolutely true story. Recently a routine police patrol parked outside a bar in Fort Worth, Texas. After last call the officer noticed a man leaving the bar so intoxicated that he could barely walk. The man stumbled around the parking lot for a few minutes, with the officer quietly observing. After what seemed an eternity in which he tried his keys on five different vehicles, the man managed to find his truck and trailer and fall into it. He sat there for a few minutes as a number of other patrons left the bar and drove off. Finally, he got into the car and started the engine, switched the wipers on and off....it was a fine, dry summer night, flicked the blinkers on and off a couple of times, honked the horn and then switched on the lights. He moved the vehicle forward a few inches, reversed a little and then remained still for a few more minutes as some more of the other patrons' vehicles left. Finally, when his was the only car left in the parking lot, he pulled out and drove slowly down the road. The police officer, having waited patiently all this time, now started up his patrol car, put on the flashing lights, promptly pulled the man over and administered a breathalyzer test. To his amazement, the breathalyzer indicated no evidence that the man had consumed any alcohol at all! Dumbfounded, the officer said, 'I'll have to ask you to accompany me to the police station. This breathalyzer equipment must be broken.' 'I seriously doubt it', said the truly proud Hillbilly. 'Tonight I'm the designated decoy.'
Answer is A – This is a very tricky question. Ossuaries, as I 'm sure you are familiar with the concept was an ancient form of burial in which after one year the bones of the deceased were taken out after the flesh had decomposed and placed in stone box and added to a family cave. The majority of the ones that we have found that were in common use by almost everyone was from the period of the second Temple and through the Mishna period in the 2nd and 3rd century. Beit Shearim is a classic place to see many of the Sacrophags that the were quite elaborate that people used back then. However we have uncovered quite a number of ossuaries that date back to the copper period of early man, way before even our forefathers. So the correct answer is Chalcolithic period which of course I'm sure you knew means the Copper Age. Right?

Re: *Realm of Asgard*
Did someone called for a taxi?
*grins as he suddenly appeared in front of them with a orbital glider Sif, Volstagg and Hogun being on board too*
Fandral! Just in time!
*frowns as he sees all the others there too*
What are you all doing there? I asked for a vehicle not for the whole warrior troup to escort me!
Go back home. The Allfather will punish you all if he learns that you are betraying him and go on this unauthorized mission with me!
And let you alone with this snake?
*nods to Loki with a glare*
He will stab you as soon as you turn your back to him!
I'm sure this won't be a fightless trip so one or another fighter more won't hurt right?
You wont get rid of us so easily~
Re: *Realm of Asgard*
*he couldn´t believe his eyes as suddenly Fandral and the other warriors/friends of Thor appeared in a orbital glider; he would have said the gods were joking with them but the ironic things is that they /are/ gods and so he is stuck with hotheaded, suspicious
You must be kidding me brother, you got your whole fan-club invited to this party? You do realize this is extremely suspicious and they will not want me to help. I will end up with my head on a spike if I even move a finger.
Oh and it´s good to see you again too Volstagg, did your beard grow?
*he eyes Fandral, Volstagg. Hogun and Sif, they once fought together but now they would stab him in the back and not, like Volstagg said that he would stab Thor*
// They will just mess everything up, I can´t handle five impulsive fighters in one party, and four and a half don´t even trust me...I should have stayed where I was and thought of another plan. But now that I am here let´s make the best out of it.//
*he sighed softly and stood a bit closer to Thor*
We should get going brother.
*she eyes Loki as he stepped closer to Thor, a frown appeared on her pretty face*
You are only tolerated here Loki, don´t do anything stupid or I will kill you.
*slowly he turned his gaze to Sif and smirked, he bowed his head in a mocking manner*
As gallant as ever my Lady Sif. It´s really sweet of you all to welcome me so heartly, I see you have not forgotten poor Loki who sat alone in the dark with nobody so brave and noble to talk to.
*he just couldn't´t stop his tongue, his voice dripping with sarcasm which only earned him disgusted looks from the four warriors*
Re: *Realm of Asgard*
*massages his temples and mumbles only for Loki audible*
I didn't know they would show up here..
Don't worry, I won't let them..
*a bit of trust seeps through his voice*
Yeah, the pleasure is all mine..
*fake smiles*
*listens to all the threatenings and mockings calmly*
*suddenly raises his voice*
Enough already!!
This mission is doomed to failure if you already try to kill each other before we even start! So either you all behave and don't whip your swords out with every move loki makes OR I go alone with Loki like I previously planed!
*that silenced them*
*takes Loki under his wings without even noticing*
Fine.. Whatever you say Thor..
Re: *Realm of Asgard*
*he eyes Thor and nodded slightly, he had no other chance but to trust his brother*
You could have just given me a weapon and I would feel much more secure you know. And maybe they would stop threaten me then.
//well they probably never will but I can do this without their trust too. Now we just need to get them off that glider..//
*watches with a smile as Thor takes him under his wings and gives the warriors a dashing fake smile*
Alright Thor we won´t stab that liar but we will still come with you and I guess you need this glider so why don´t you two hop on and we can start our adventure because someone might search for us soon-
As much as I hate to say that but Frandal got a point there so can you all please get in line for killing me later and get going? I would not like to end up in my cell again.
*Loki gently pushed Thor towards the glider, he felt bare and without defense, of course he could always use his magic and tricks but that wouldn´t make his situation any better* *so he gets close behind Thor, half hiding behind his brother as they get on the glider*
Next time please warn me when your dogs come barking.
*he whispered in Thor´s ear only for the Thundergod to hear, trying to hide the distress in his voice*
They make me really, really uncomfortable and I thought you needed my help. Well with them in my back I can´t even walk without fearing their knives.
Re: *Realm of Asgard*
Yes yes of course! *gets onto the glider*
*notices how close Loki stays behind him*
*looks back at him*
I'm sorry..
*thinks for a bit*
*looks at the others*
Maybe it's better when Loki and I go alone.
What? You're kidding right?
I'm not. I really appreciate your worry and your offer to help but I have the feeling this won't work out when you all accompany us..
Re: *Realm of Asgard*
*he smirked, Thor was really taking him under his protection and urging the warriors not to come with them, it would all get so much easier for Loki*
Just think about it. Someone has to back up Thor here and who could be better for this than Asgard´s greatest warriors? I left an illusion in my cell so you shouldn´t worry about me. but Thor...Well he has no alibi.
//Please listen to me for once you morons, I am actually right and you all should know that!//
*he hesitates, Loki had spoken some true words*
He got a point there guys... But you are still a dirty liar! Who says you won´t just flee?
*sighs deeply and gives Farndal a played sad look*
Do you really don´t trust me at all? I helped you already and now you detest me because of a few mistakes, that´s really unfair don´t you think? But you should know yourself what´s best...for Thor and for Asgard.
*she snarls at the trickster and points her knife at Loki´s throat*
He is right, we have to back up Thor but...You stay away from him, we know exactly where you are going and if Thor doesn´t return you are a dead man.
*raises his hands in a defensive manner and looks at Sif innocently*
I will protect my dearest brother with all my given might.
//As long as he won´t be in my way...//
Re: *Realm of Asgard*
I can take care of myself, don't worry about me.
*grins and pats Mjolmir that hangs on his belt*
Thanks guys.
*watches how they all get off the glider*
We will be back safe and sound WITH that weapon.
I promise.
Take care Thor. We guard your back here.
*smiles softly*
*shots Loki one last glare*
Shall we then Loki?
*gives him the driver*
Lead us to the secret path.
Re: *Realm of Asgard*
*he stands in the glider next to Thor and watches the others get off the vehicle, he made it, nobody would get in his way, except his brother of course*
I will miss you too Farndal~
*says in a sarcastic tongue and chuckles softly to himself* *he looks up to his brother and nods, taking the rudder and let the glider start off towards the mountain sides of Asgard, his green eyes are fixed on the horizon, yet examining everything around them*
I hope nobody will follow us and put up a fight...I don´t have the nerve for that. And you still own me a long bath
*he fixes his robe and leans back, steering the glider with a steady hand* *he enjoyed to finally breath fresh air and feel the sun heat up his wavy black hair, a small smile formed on his lips even though they were going right into another mess*
Re: *Realm of Asgard*
Well let's hope it will all run smoothly.. I'm not keen on fighting an whole army alone.
Whatever you want brother.
*watches him as he flies the glider*
*can't help but smile a but at Lokis smile*
Re: *Realm of Asgard*
*the glider was getting closer to the mountain walls and nobody had seen them yet, Loki looks around, always alarmed*
Thor remember you are not alone? Or do I not count as a person anymore?
*he shoots his brother a look that could have been a playful pout long time ago*
You still need to tell me where we are going or the secret path won't work. Who got that secret weapon?
*he tugs some hair away from his face as the wind messes it up*
Re: *Realm of Asgard*
Of course you do!
*smiles a soft genuine smile*
Yes.. I'm glad you are.
//I may be the biggest idiot of Asgard to give Loki my trust or forgive him over and over again. I may be betrayed again.. But I'm in the strong believe that Loki isn't 100% evil and that not everything he does consists of lies and betrayal. The old Loki is still there.. There is still something good inside him! I can feel it!..... Or more.. I refuse to believe otherwise..//
The Vanir. We have to go to Vanaheim.

Re: *Realm of Asgard*
*he watches his brother with a serious expression, eyes deep and thoughtful*
I will get that weapon with you. I never wanted Asgard to go down.
//And this is the truth. I don't want this world to go down...guess I still have sympathy. Yet I want this weapon for myself, you never know how you can use something like that.//
*he can feel that Thor is deep in thoughts and strangly he likes this face of his brother, it made him look mature and more king like*
//He really looks like a king- but no that's not what I want him to be, I want to be king...to be loved.//
*he shakes his head to get his thoughts away and steers the glider right at the rocky walls*
Alright then, Vanaheim it is. You should hold on tight now! We are going through!
*smirks and holds right to a crack in the wall of the mountain, the glider rushing there with full speed*
To Vannaheim!
Re: *Realm of Asgard*
Thanks brother.. *smiles softly*
*graps tightly onto the railing*
Loki are you crazy?! You're going to kill us!
*widens his eyes as the glider scratches the walls and sending sparks*
Re: *Realm of Asgard*
*the horrified expression on Thor's face makes him laugh out loud and he looks like a maniac*
Don't be afraid brother!
*the glider starts to crack and crash with the walls as the crack gets thiner and they still go with full speed deeper in the mountain walls and then with a loud crash they-
-pop out into the green forests of Vanaheim, sun glisters through the green leaves and warmth surrounds them; the glider flies on, the sides being damaged but yet it is still holding together and flying*
I told you I could get you here~
*Loki laughs again and gives his brother a smug smile*
Re: *Realm of Asgard*
By the nine, let us arrive in one piece!
*prays for himself as he sees the ship slowily falling apart*
*suddenly gets blinded by the sun of Vanaheim*
*sinks down and sighs relieved*
You give me heartattacks!
*can't help but smile back tho*
Re: *Realm of Asgard*
*he laughes genuily, the warm sun and the smell of the green land making him finally feel more alive since a long time, the shock he gave Thor only adds to his joy*
For a tough warrior you look dangerously close to a scared maiden Thor. I would suggest you to pull yourself together and get ready for the landing, we can't fly around Vanaheim with this glider unnoticed.
*he smirks and let the glider sink down to the soft earth of Vanaheim, bringing the vehicle to a gentle touchdown*
After you my 'prince'
*says in a sarcastic tone and does a mocking bow*
//Let's see if you eveb trust me enough to turn your back on me, because you will have to trust me. We will do this in my way...//
Re: *Realm of Asgard*
*Lokis genuine laugh melts his heart and makes him smile too*
//It's been so long since I last time saw him laugh like that.. I almost though he lost it forever..//
Please I'm perfectly fine!
*rolls his eyes*
*ignores Loki's sarcassm and jumps down the vehicle casually not even thought that Loki could try to kill him comes to his mind*
Hm.. let's see where are we...
*mumbles and looks around*
Re: *Realm of Asgard*
*he watches Thor jump off the glider and brushes some dust off his robe, jumping down too, this time his jump is graceful and he straightens up again; now he feels much stronger as when Thor let him out of his cell*
//He seems to trust me a bit. Let's see how much.//
*he steps next to Thor*
Dear brother I don't like disturbing yoir mumbling but may I say something? You should tell me the details now and give me a weapon to defend myself because I bet we will get in trouble. You always get in trouble anyway.
*looks at Thor and raises a brow*
Take your time... I will disguise our glider while you talk.
*starts to put an illusion over the glider, melting it into the background of the summerly forest*
Re: *Realm of Asgard*
*figured out in with direction they have to go now*
*looks at Loki as he speaks*
Well actually the secret path wasn't the only reason why I needed you.
The weapon we search for is a golden scepter with a blue stone that contains strong magic. It should be in their treasure room somewhere in the underground vault from the caslte of Vanaheim. Meaning lots and lots of guards and what not. So we have to rely on your illusions to get though there without getting caught.
*look at him meaningful*
*suddenly pulls out a sword and holds it with the blade in Lokis dirction*
Either we trust eachother..
*turns the sword with a cool swift move so that now the hilt points at you for you to grasp it*
..or Vanaheim will be our grave.
*smiles at him surprisingly honest-
Re: *Realm of Asgard*
*he finsihes hiding the glider and turns back to Thor, listening carefully, his brows furrowed*
//So that's why he needs me. He doesn't want to go head first through the wall for once. And a golden scepter, that sounds very interesting and exciting.//
*he nods carefully at Thor's explenaitions and gasps as you suddenly pull out a sword, yet not moves and inch*
Well...I really hate dying so I will choose to trust you for now.
*grips the hilt of the sword and grins*
Let's get us in that castle and not loose any more time. You really have to trust me now...I will turn us into city guards as soon as we are close to the city.
Lead the way brother.
*puts away the sword in his robe and pats it*
Re: *Realm of Asgard*
A good choice~.
Yes.. Let's go.
I will.
*leads the way through the forest to the city near the castle*
Re: *Realm of Asgard*
*a rush of excitement spills through his veins and he steps next to Thor, walking by the blond god's side*
You know. I could just walk in there alone and bring back that..weapon, which by the way sounds really pretty and mighty. Oh and what does it do again?
//and why is it so important? I would love to know what that septer can do.//
*he walked on through the forest at his brother's side, like in old times, it nearly felt normal again only that their 'relationship' could never be normal again*
Re: *Realm of Asgard*
*raises a brow looks at Loki with an "in-your-dreams" expression*
As if I let you touch the scepter.. I know that you want to have it.
*smiles sweetly*
..forget it beloved brother~ ♥.
There is no need for you to know all this~!
//It kinda feels like the old times.. to bad that we can't be like we used to be...//
Re: *Realm of Asgard*
*he growls softly and under his breath as Thor refuses to tell him anything about ths scepter or the danger it brings for Asgard*
You can stick your beloved brother up your ass
*he huffs, obviously upset that he doesn't get to know everything but he still continues to walk with Thor, going through with their plan*
//I will get the scepter anyway. It sounds like a magical weapon so it should be perfect for me. Just wait Thor Odinsson. We are not done yet...brother. Beloved brother...thank you for getting me out of those dungeons.//
Re: *Realm of Asgard*
*his features sadden*
*lets out a sigh*
*doesn't say anything anymore*
//Maybe I indeed will be left backstabbed and betrayed after this.. //

ELLWOOD CITY -- Marshall Tree service will begin work on cutting down 13 trees targeted for removal from Ewing Park. Ellwood City Borough Council approved a $9,450 contract with the company to remove or trim trees in the park.
The tree removal is part of an overall project to remove more than 20 dead or dying trees from Ewing Park with the ultimate goal of reforesting the facility.
Borough Manager Dom Viccari said work has begun on the project, with public works employees working on the trees that they can cut down with borough-owned equipment. Marshall Tree Service will cut or trim the remaining trees.
The borough accepted four bids on properties placed in the Lawrence County property repository for non-payment of taxes.
Properties sold were: 443 13th St., to Brian Braunbeck for $500; a Lawrence Avenue property, to Marie Jeannette for $1,000; 1210 Lawrence Ave., to John Calabria Jr. and John Calabria Sr. for $505; a Line Avenue property, to Drew Richardson for $1,002; and 230 Line Ave., to Drew Richardson for $3,002.
The properties were purchased as part of a program to get properties back on the tax rolls. Under the program, people can purchase land from the repository for a minimum bid of $500, if the transaction is approved by all three of the relevant taxing bodies -- which would be Ellwood City Area School District, Ellwood City Borough and Lawrence County in all of these cases.
The school district already approved of the purchases earlier this month.
Bigger bin
Ellwood City residents can now obtain 95-gallon recycling bins, which the borough purchased in response to resident complaints that the existing bins are too small to hold two weeks worth of recyclable materials, now that Ellwood City's contracted trash collector accepts a wider range of recyclables.
Residents can get the bins by paying $20 at the electric department billing window in the municipal building.
