More than one hundred years ago, Noworadomsk was the name of a small place, without economic or residential significance. Even when the small number of Jews in the area were living in the suburb, Bugaj, or in nearby Plawno, Jewish families were already active in Radomsk where they occupied a distinguished place in the economic life not only of Radomsk and Poland, but also of the then Russian Empire.
The Jewish Radomsker resident Reb Berisz Ferszter was an entrepreneur who built the railroad throughout almost all of Russia. He built the electric tramway line in Warsaw and hundreds of government buildings over a wide area of Russia, Poland and other nations of the then Czarist Empire. In Radomsk proper, he built his own large house, in which was located the big hotel, the inn, the post office, the pharmacy and the like. Together with his private house, he built his private shul that was well known by the name Ferszter's shul later Beis-Yakov.
The rich man Reb Leizer Rikhterman, who was a large importer and exporter of various wool and cotton articles, lived at that time in nearby Plawno and later in Radomsk proper.
The Banker family built the well-known Hotel Banker with a large park that later was turned into almost a Jewish entertainment center.
Years later, we see Dovid Rikhter's large grain export and import firm, which was a member of the grain exchange in Breslau. The firm had storehouses near the railroad station and made large deals, not only in greater Russia but also in many different nations in Europe.
By the end of the 19 th century, Jewish initiative and its creative spirit in industry gave employment to a thousand workers in Radomsk and vicinity naturally non-Jews. However, this had an indirect effect on the economic life of the larger part of the Jewish population.
A large enterprise from Austria that produced Viennese furniture built a large factory in Radomsk during the second half of the 19 th century under the name, Yakov Yosef Kohn and it employed almost two thousand non-Jewish workers and a few score clerks, all Jews. As a Jew the general-director, H. Blumenfeld, an Austrian citizen, had not received a residency permit from the Russian government; he lived here by means of a certificate of baptism. At the beginning, some Jewish artisans (carpenters, tinsmiths, and others) were employed in the factory, of whom several worked on Sunday instead of Shabbos. Jews were the suppliers of various raw materials for the factory.
At the same time, the Jewish Radomsker family Ruszewicz built a large oilcloth factory in the city that was supposed to be the first in the realm of Poland. Jewish professionals were employed in the factory, along with at the beginning, even Jewish workers. The factory later was moved to Warsaw.
The large glassworks owned by the Fiszman family, in the nearby village of Jasien, together with large agricultural holdings of the family, enriched the economic life of Radomsk and vicinity. In general, the Fiszman family in Jasien lived a complete Jewish life. During the yomin-tovim, such as Rosh Hashonah, Sukkos and Passover, all the poor Jews from almost all of Poland came together there. They davened there, received food and a place to sleep and clothing, and upon departure each received 1 ruble.
Reb Meir Rozenbaum, who first lived in Plawno and later in Radomsk, also played a significant role in Jewish economic life. He was the founder of the family wood firm Rozenbaum and his children married into the most respected Jewish families in Radomsk.
The large sawmill of Izrael Rekhterman, son of Leizer Rekhterman, must also be remembered. The sawmill, which employed a few score non-Jewish workers, was managed by Jews. The chief director was Reb Ithamar Rabinowicz, a grandson from the rabbinical court. The sawmill carried out large business deals with Germany, England and other European nations.
At the end of the 19 th and the beginning of the 20 th century, there were several large wholesale businesses in various lines of business in Radomsk. They were the forerunners of commerce not only in Radomsk but also in the whole area. Mrs. Minchele Rabinowicz's large wholesale textile business was in the first rank. She was a daughter-in-law of Hasid L'Abraham. A score of people were employed in her business, all Hasidic Jews and Torah scholars (Mindicz, Gitler and others) who at the same time were efficient merchants. Mrs. Minchele Rabinowicz was the mother-in-law of the last Radomsker Rebbe, Reb Shlomoh Henekh Rabinowicz (shot in Warsaw together with his family, summer 1942).
Yosef Najkron's large wholesale business of tobacco and other articles was among the business enterprises that in large measure influenced the economic life of the Jews. The same can be said about the large wholesale haberdashery business of Yosef Besser, who employed two score employees. Every day of the week a different shtetl in the province would come to buy goods from this business (Przedborz, Brzeznica, Pajeczno, Plawno, Gidle and others).
A special impression was made at the time by the respectable business of Yehieil-Dovid Najmark selling seforim, musical instruments and other similar articles. The fine facilities and conduct testify to the high cultural level of the Najmark family.
Jewish initiative by the Fajerman family also created a large steam mill. The Winer and Fajerman families were also pioneers in the steam industry for wood. This was a thoroughly new branch of production not only in Radomsk but in Poland, in general.
Here must be recorded the Szpira, Grundman, Zilberszac and other families in the iron business, Mendel Epsztajn in the chemical business and many other names in other lines of business.
Jews in ancient Radomsk were not permitted to build or own houses. Permission was first given in the second half of the 19 th century, during the reign of Aleksander II. Without any exaggeration, it can be said that more than 80 percent of all the houses in Radomsk were built through Jewish initiative and money. The building contractor of that time, Reb Mandel Fajerman and later his son Shmuel-Meir, built scores of Jewish houses. The Fajerman family had its own brickyard and the like.
The Russian military, which was stationed in Radomsk, at that time, took possession of the kazarmes (barracks) that belonged to the Jews Szwarc, Zandberg and others. The same thing occurred with the Russian post office, bank and the like.
The Jewish commercial lessees, who created and developed economic life in Radomsk, did not enjoy any help. It was their own diligence, initiative and intelligence that built and developed the
The furniture factory of the Thonet brothers.
commercial and economic life of the city. True, at that time large enterprises were built in Radomsk with foreign capital, such as the large furniture factory of the Gebrider-Thonet, the Metalurgia metal factory and others. However, this was the expansion of foreign capital supported by states and governments. The Jews then had to fight to gain their positions step by step.
In the ten years before the outbreak of the First World War, Jewish economic life experienced a more intense crisis, which led to greater Jewish emigration. Jews from Radomsk left for various western nations, mainly for the United States in North America. Yet the crisis years did not destroy the well-organized Jewish commercial concerns and they achieved success until the outbreak of the First World War (1914).
During the course of the First World War both our own Russian army and later the foreign Austrian army destroyed everything that had been created in the lifetime of generations. Jews had to create new incomes from smuggling. Even neighboring Czentochow became foreign, occupied by the German army. Poverty spread more rapidly and with it epidemic illnesses that created very many victims.
The Polish Economic Minister in post-war Poland, Stanislaw Grabski, immediately proved it with his economic plan for 1923; instead of assisting the economic recovery, it neglected various steps so as to oppress the Jewish economy. However, the Jewish entrepreneurial spirit was again evident in the building of new creditable commercial and economic positions. Jews again built small and large factories that employed a very significant number of workers, produced needed articles, both for local use and for other cities in Poland and even for exporting abroad.
After the First World War, Jewish workers began increasingly to penetrate industries.

The scores of Jewish furniture workshops occupied a special place in the furniture business. They produced the most beautiful furniture, which was sent almost all over Poland. Radomsk occupied second place for beautiful and good quality furniture (bedroom, kitchen, office furniture and so on) after the city of Kalvaria, which was famous as the furniture center of Poland. Production reached hundreds of thousands of zlotes a month and created employment opportunities for many Jewish families: providers of raw materials, packers, wagon drivers and the like.
After the First World War, the merchants, both large and small retailers, again expanded their sources of income. However, all of the problems of the anti-Semitic Polish government circles poured out particularly on them. Wanting to establish a Polish merchant class, a bitter struggle was carried out against the Jewish merchants and retailers on one side through taxes and other vexations and on the other side, the Polish merchants were supported by tax relief and credits. The anti-Semitic agitation of Swoj Do Swego (One to His Own) and boycotts were very strongly felt in Radomsk.
The constant struggle of Jewish commercial circles for their existence had a very bad effect on the commercial community and
In the above mentioned newspaper of 31.7.1931 (July 31, 1931) one reads the following: It was proposed (by the auditing association) in Warsaw that the members should cover all of the damages and that goodwill deposits should be drawn on the spot for the sum of 25 thousand zlotes, the debts from collection should be immediately regulated; an analysis of the balance leads to the conclusion moreover that the shares are a misrepresentation of 15-20 thousand zlotes.
Attempts were made to create a retailers' bank, which developed very nicely at the start. However, because of the pauperization of the Jewish population, it suffered from almost constant extensions of the loans and other delays in the financial obligations that did not permit the institution to develop appropriately. In the yearly report for 1931, we read in the Radomsker Zeitung the following: It is the sad epilogue to the Cooperative Bank, the end of share capital. The fact

that many owners of deposits were recruited from the poor and were crushed by the extraction of a part of their bloody groshns, had to have a negative effect on the Retailers' Bank. It started to develop well a year ago, but in the last year remained standing in a stagnant condition and, although this bank functions correctly, it has the character more of a collection office than of a bank because it has no circulating capital. The sum total is the confused retailer and artisan stand helpless today and do not have a place to borrow one hundred to two hundred zlotes.
During this time an interest free loan office was also created that began weakly, but later developed nicely.
The poverty among the Jewish population became greater and stronger. People who a year earlier earned a good living from their work or their trade were ruined by the taxes and anti-Jewish economic policies and so the number of those receiving charity and support grew. Here must be remembered, in the first row, the help of the Radomsker landsleit in America, which arrived in a significant amount, but was basically absorbed like a drop in an ocean.
In 1926 the sum of 10,000 zlotes arrived. In a report in the Radomsker Zeitung of 26.3.1926 (March 26, 1926), we read about the distribution of this sum: 82 grants were given out of 5 zlotes, 200 of 10 zlotes, 155 of 40 zlotes, together 506 with a total of 8,270 zlotes.
In the Radomsker Zeitung of 16.4.1926 (April 4, 1926) we read a message from M.Z. Rozenblat to the Radomsker landsleit in America: During the last year your aid for our city amounted to almost one thousand dollars. There are literally no words to express our gratitude to you our dear brothers and sisters Alas, your aid work is not in line with the spirit creating productivity, because this work is purely philanthropic and, therefore, we can, G-d forbid, be tempted to become receivers of money, takers of tzadekah (charity) We are only victims of the high tax burdens, of boycotts and extermination policies against the entire Jewish population in Poland. What we wish for is a credit institution for cheap and long-term credit, established on a fixed basis, without any taste of tzadekah and philanthropy. Only such an institution will support our life, if not totally, then at least partly stand us on our feet Save us as it is not too late!
This help for productive credit, which was requested in 1926, was probably not received. So the situation literally grew worse day by day. The taxes grew, the boycotts strengthened and the expropriation of Jewish properties involved all levels of society. In the Radomsker Zeitung of 16.10.1931 (October 16, 1931) we read about an existing Jewish aid committee. There is no longer talk about
From the above description it can be seen that the Radomsker Jews were those who built the commercial and economic life as well as the city. Yet they were oppressed and discriminated against by the Polish Sanacia agents, on the eve of their complete annihilation by the dark Hitlerist beasts.
On the eve of the outbreak of the Second World War, workers in the city comprised approximately 1,500 Jewish artisans, merchants and clerks, which means a population of 6,000 souls.
In Radomsk on the doorstep of the 20 th century, we meet firmly established Jewish artisans: carpenters, Reb Josef Szpalter and Dovid Bursztajn (Henje's Dovid), tinsmiths, Reb Zelig Goldberg and his son Mordekhai, and many others who own their houses and were good artisans in the city.
Almost all of the work for large estate owners around Radomsk, for the Catholic churches and for the Pravoslavne (Orthodox) churches was carried out by Jewish artisans. It was difficult to understand how Reb Moishe or Reb Yitzhak the tinsmith, for example, roofed the complicated roofs on the spires of the churches. They were marvelous tradesmen and their work was carried out conscientiously and well.
Reb Shmuel the baker (the lame Shmuel) was the Torah reader in the city shul for many years and sometimes substituted for the Hazan.
The Jewish artisans must have led a life of difficulty and toil. They also had to put up with many underhand tricks from the small number of Polish artisans who were organized in their guild whose symbol was the holy apostles. This served to further encumber the life of the Jewish artisans.
Close to the start of the First World War the young community worker from Lodz, Engineer Jan Kurszraut, took the initiative to organize the Jewish artisans. In the years of the First World War, Jewish Artisans' Unions were founded in various cities in Poland. In 1916 a Jewish Artisans' Club was also established in Radomsk and later, a Jewish Artisans' Union, as a section of the Warsaw Central. The first founders were: Ludwig Wajnberg, for many years chairman, Yitzhak Slabiak, Shmuel Band, Feiwel and Abraham Wilhelm, Zukin Szreiber, Yakov Bugajski, Shlomoh Goldberg, Ruven Liberman, Emanuel Ruwin, Shimon and Shlomoh Kugel, Hershel Kroskop, Shimon Haze and others.
During the first years the Jewish Artisans' Club only conducted aid work among its members, created a tea hall and reading room where in the evening the members received a glass of tea, read a newspaper and talked about problems they had in common. When Poland became independent, the activities of the Jewish Artisans' Union expanded: help in obtaining licenses; defense against tax levies; an office to dispense loans. There was also created a stall for the purchase of raw materials and it founded a cooperative for the leather trade.
In time the Jewish Artisans' Union carried out expanded cultural activities. In 1924 a library was created named after Y. L. Peretz and a dramatic section under the leadership of Sh. Band. Papers, lectures, meetings and the like were arranged. The founders of the library were Ludwig Wajnberg, Yitzhak Slabiak, Yakov Bugajski, Emanuel, Ruwin, Aba Truskolaski, Gliksman and Rozencwajg. The librarians were Hirshel Witenberg, Gliksman, Rozencwajg, Dovid Bugajski, Fishel Koziwoda, Dovid Wielunski, Blacha Truskolaski and Rusze Waksman. The library developed as one of the outstanding cultural institutions in the city (with 3,500 books and 350 readers).
The Radomsker youth had a wonderful yom-tov with the celebration of the ten-years' of existence of the Jewish Artisans' Union (January 1927). We read in the 14/1/1927 (January 14, 1927) Radomsker Zeitung:
The celebration was opened by the chairman Eng. Faliwoda and took place in the auditorium of City Hall, which was gloriously decorated and bore an impressive character. Representatives of the administrative and municipal regimes came to the celebration, headed by the Staroste and city presi-
After the welcome by the Polish and Jewish representatives, Mr. Ruwin Najkron made a very successful welcoming speech in which he said among other things: The Jewish artisans literally were ignored in the course of generations. And if the attitude of society has become positive it is a result of the liberation struggle of the Jewish people, of which the Jewish artisans are an important part. If we have lived to see the regime come to welcome us, it shows only that they cannot love us, but they have respect for us when we have power in ourselves. But a people that struggles for its liberation and marches toward its goal can have flags. In exile in Egypt the slaves were freed; we created flags. The flags were created in order to go forward to our one goal and to aspire to the communal Jewish flag, to the flag of Judea.
The celebration made a very great impression on the whole population of the city.
In 1927 after a difficult struggle there was success in obtaining a more liberal industrial law and then the Jewish artisans received equality with the non-Jews: through the creation of trade guilds, receiving diplomas, taking part in the artisan-cells and the like. The Jewish Artisans' Union likewise received the right to certify how long the actual artisan had operated his workshop. On this basis, the artisan received the necessary artisan's card that permitted him to operate a workshop legally.
In time the Jewish Artisans' Union became a mass organization that numbered almost 600 members. The artisans had their own representative on the City Council and in the appraisal commission for various taxes. The representative on the City Council was Engineer Paliwoda.
After the Pilsudski upheaval (1926) the Polish right wing elements among the Polish artisans did not want to cooperate with the government organs. Then it appeared that in this situation the Jewish artisans would be able more or less to develop. However, in a very short time, when the political and economic life in Poland went onto anti-Semitic rails, the pauperization of the Jewish population grew worse. The aim of the terrible taxes was to annihilate the Jewish productive elements the Jewish artisans and all other parts of the Jewish population. Alas, this brought about internal quarrels until the creation of 2 Jewish Artisans' Unions that later again united. Despite the joint efforts and difficult struggle, there was no success in controlling the difficult economic situation.
The Jewish artisans in Radomsk had a wonderful communal and professional tradition. They always pursued both internal and external struggles to achieve an appropriate position in the Jewish communal, political, economic and cultural life. During the ruthless extermination of the Jewish people, the Hitler beasts brought to an end the aspirations and struggles of the Jewish artisans for an honorable position in life.
During that time those active in the Retailers' Union managing committee and other committees were Shmuel-Leib Witenberg, Yakov Herbet, Yakov Bugajski, M. Yakubowicz, Shimon Waldfojgel, Yakov Chenchinski, Moishe-Dovid Frajman, Mikhal Grajcer, Haim Lustiger, Zalman Zilberszac, Yehoshua Rozencwajg, Zisman Blum, Yehuda Davidowicz, Haim Dudzik, Abraham Hercberg, Hershel Pelman, Dovid Rodol, Ramek Rozenbaum, Moishe Berger and others.
The principle task of the union authorities was to defend the retailers in the state offices, particularly against higher taxes. A representative of the retailers was employed in calculating the taxes of the small merchants. The union would also intervene for its members with the police and other institutions. Every month the union would publish the current prices as was required by the regime.
At first the meeting hall of the union was located at Przedborska 6 and later at Reymonta 14.
While there was an Artisans' and Merchants' Bank in the city, it was necessary to create an interest free loan fund for the retailers. In 1926, a vote was taken to create such a fund and a provisional managing committee was created with 6 members: Shmuel-Leib Witenberg, Shimon Waldfojgel,
The first loans were each 30 zlotes, to be repaid in 10 installments. Later, a general campaign was carried out in which not just retailers, but sympathizers also contributed larger amounts and were obligated to pay monthly dues for the fund. A lottery was also held along with other organized efforts that strengthened the fund and increased its capital. Later support was received from the American landsleit and the loans were increased up to 100 zlotes. After joining with the Joint (Joint Distribution Committee), the fund began to distribute long-term large loans, too, both for retailers and for artisans. At that time a loan of 250 zlotes was a large sum for a retailer or artisan.
In 1933 the noted merchant Mendel Lakham donated 5,000 zlotes to the fund.
The secretaries of the fund were Moishe Gaslowski and, later, Zishe Gonszerowicz.
In 1927 a cooperative was created to provide products for the retailers, so that they would not have to depend on the large merchants. From the start, the cooperative developed successfully. However, for certain reasons, it was liquidated after two years.
In 1929 a Retailers' Bank was created. The active members of the bank were: Moishe Berger, Yitzhak Herbet, Zukin Goldberg. Leibish Szwatowski, Zisman Blum, Eli Grundman, Henek Krakowski, Pinkhas Krakowski, Yehosha-Leizer Rabinowicz. The task was to distribute loans for larger sums of money. However, the bank only existed for two years and was dissolved. The principal bookkeeper of the bank was Menakhem Gatesman.
At the time of the first Russian Revolution in 1905, Radomsk played a significant role in the struggle of the professional workers. Many strikes in various trades took place and the Radomsk workers' leaders spread this fight to the surrounding towns and shtetlekh. In the process of the oppression of the revolutionary movement in the greater Russian Empire, workers' leaders in Radomsk also were arrested.
In the First World War, Radomsk was liberated from Czarist authority and control on the political street became a little freer, the struggle to better the situation for the Jewish workers was renewed. Even the unenlightened workers like bakers began to organize, at the same time as other artisans. The workers from small factories, too such as glassmakers achieved significant social improvements through strikes.
After the First World War the professional movement among the workers in Radomsk widened. The workers' parties were very active among the professional workers. Some professional unions were connected to some parties and called themselves algemeine (general), such as Left and Right P.Z. (Poalei-Zion), the Bund, and communists.
In the thirties, the Right Poalei-Zion (united with Z.S.) was very active in the professional field and they founded at Reymonta 40 a professional center of the professional unions: transport workers, bakers, painters, leather workers and store employees.
The members of the Professional Union of Garment Workers (1933)
The managing committee of the Leather Workers' Union (Sitting from the right): H. Liberman, E. Przyrowski, Kh. Birncwajg, B. Zilbersztajn. (Standing): Y. Obarzanek, Y. Wajsberg, Y. B. Goldberg.
The Transport-Workers' Union of the Right P. Z. (united with Z.S.) is a separate chapter. Here were generations of transport workers (treger carriers), where the son inherited the horse and wagon and also the firms that the father had served. The work consisted of obtaining the goods from the factory, business or workshop and bringing back the completed cargo documents, sometimes with the cash on delivery, too. The transport workers had very little work. They, themselves, the owners together with their helpers were in need of having their work organized and this, the union gave them.
The Jewish Transport Union took part in the recruitment campaign of Jewish transport workers for the port of Haifa. In the newspaper Befreiung-Arbeiter-Shtume (Liberation Workers Voice) from the end of 1934 we read: The Central Council of the Professional Unions of the Right Poalei-Zion has made an effort for a long time to attract Jewish treger from Poland as port workers for Haifa. At last the efforts were crowned with success. Among the 140 transport workers who need to travel to Eretz-Yisroel in the next weeks will be 40 treger from Poland. Aba Khushi, the general secretary of the Labor Council in Haifa, came to Poland for this purpose. He had to choose the 40 Jewish treger. Comrade Yosef-Hersh Goldsztajn, who made aliyah to Eretz-Yisroel in 1935 together with his family, was recruited from Radomsk.
The Leather Union, also led by the leader of the Left P.Z., Comrade Hanan Birncwajg, did not remain aloof from the remaining unions with its professional and cultural activities. The same can be said about the Business Employees and other unions; they all developed extensive social and professional activity.
Various factors sometimes hindered or interrupted the activity of the professional unions. The frequent arrests carried out among the professional and worker leaders by the reactionary Polish government organs on one side, and the aliyah of activists to Eretz-Yisroel would have an effect on the activities of the professional unions.
The Professional Workers' Union, every one for himself and everyone together, was a very important agent in the general political-social life of the Jewish community in Radomsk. Although activity had an effect and was reflected mainly in the area of professional problems, their activities and readiness to fight had a significant influence on the pace and on the development of life in general. In this connection the Professional Workers' Unions played the roll of connecting commercial-economic life on one side with political-social life on the other side.
All of the struggles for a better tomorrow for the Jewish working people shared the fate of the Jewish working masses. Many of them struggled against murderous German Nazism. Several of them, such as Comrade Tuvia Borzykowski, of blessed memory, who was an active leader in the Needle Union, raised themselves to the level of leadership in the ghetto struggle and actively participated in acts of revenge on the Fascist enemy of the Jewish people.

Total Hypothetical here....
I'm a huge fan of the show Dollhouse. On this week's episode, a woman (who ends up being murdered) had her memories imprinted in Echo (it was in her will) so she could go back and see her funeral, find out what people really thought of her, and try to solve her murder.
Murder aside, if you could go back and observe your loved ones post your mortem, would you? Would you really want to know what people thought of you? Could you handle watching their grief?
I'm not sure what I would do...
PS...If you're not watching Dollhouse, you should. It took me a while to figure out if it was going to be really great, and as the story line (which starts a bit slow, admittedly) progresses, I LOVE it..

The Best Birthday Present I've Ever Received...
I'm sure it should be something more lofty like life or some shit like that, but Handsome got me tickets to Kris Kristofferson who was at the Uptown Theatre last weekend.
Holy shit, friends...A dream come true.
i have a LOOOOONG love affair with Singer/Songwriters and Kris Kristofferson is on my absolute A List....
Harry Chapin, John Denver and John Lennon are dead. It's doubtful I'll ever see Pulp or Simon and Garfunkel in concert so this was my dream come true.
See this pic? Yeah, so...on the most important dream-come-true concert I've ever been to, my fucking camera batteries die...that glowing something-ish thing is Kris Kristofferson.
Let me tell you...
I don't care if he's 30 years older than me and that I'm happily married...HE'S SMOKIN' HOTTT! He sounds like he did 30 yrs ago...He's poetry out loud...He was horribly sick that night and was blowing his nose in between songs, but he was just fabulous...
I went to the concert with a friend of mine who shares my birthday and is a Kris fan (Handsome was in rehearsal that night, damn it!) One of the first songs in his set was "Me and My Bobby McGee" (yeah, he wrote that, thanks, Janice) and I turn to her and say, "Holy shit. He's singing THAT song!" I was like a crazed teenager at a Jonas Brothers concert. I'm sure she was embarrassed, but it was a curiously stoned crowd. You could tell who were the Highwaymen fans from the true blue Kris Kristofferson fans.
There are SO many songs I wanted him to sing, which he sang quite a few but one hit me REALLY hard..."In The News" was one he wrote about the Laci Peterson/9-11 time and when I first heard it, I was pregnant with Darling. I was SO affected by that song and the idea of someone killing his pregnant wife and throwing her in the ocean. I thought about my own life and how Handsome would hardly let me do anything during my pregnancy (to the point that it got annoying) and just realized how blessed I was. And this was also the time that Precious Doe's identity was discovered. I remember watching it on the news and holding my newborn tightly and crying because I couldn't imagine a mother doing that to her child. Or being ok with someone else doing that to her child. Watch this and tell me you don't cry...I dare you...
On a more historical note, check out Kris' "Jesus Was a Capricorn". I love this song SO MUCH!!!
Jesus was a Capricorn, he ate organic foods.
He believed in love and peace and never wore no shoes.
Long hair, beard and sandals and a funky bunch of friends.

There was a scandal in Rolling Stone about Toby Keith and Kris Kristofferson last month and while both parties deny Ethan Hawke's claims of the exchange, loving both artists, I can SO see this happening...
As the daughter of a Vietnam vet, I respect how Kris served his country and then still hates what he had to do. My dad was a Corpsman (Navy equivalent of a medic)and he was the guy on the helicopter deciding who wasn't so far gone that they could be saved and whether the helicopter would lift off the ground...
Anyway...my concert review is 2 enthusiastic thumbs up. Kris is still kickin' ass and taking names...

Lolcats burnout
Burnt out on cat pictures? Me too, kind of, but it's like a train wreck and I still have to look. I recently discovered Picture is Unrelated: WTF Pictures and if you haven't seen them, well, you're missing out.
I'm truly scared for the human race...
Here's a few:
I'm sure there is perfectly good explanations for these bizzare photos, but, well, everyone loves things taken out of context.
For truly beautiful pictures done by a kick ass Kansas Citian, see Hyperblogal...I adore his work and you should too!

RetroGag: Scary Stuffed Peppers and Bad Choices with Spaghetti
It's been awhile since I've done a Retro Gag and I think we're overdue...
This week's gems come from the fascinating Mock Duck site. It is a retro-fabulous trip down technicolor gag lane. Check it out. Brave, brave work with the cookbooks of yesteryear...
First on the menu today is this:
I don't know what that little girl is so damn excited about. It seems like an innocent enough picture if you can get past Suzy's Joy of Cooking euphoria. Nutrious (but canned) veggies, pudding with ill placed cherries, I'm even moderately ok with the spaghetti, but I'd like someone to please explain WTF are those hockey puck looking things gracefully lining the spaghetti dish. Those aren't meatballs, kids, and I'm afraid to ask.
Tell me this doesn't look like a ham loaf at first glance. It looks like ham, pimentos and cherries to me. That makes me ill to my stomach. Apparently, it's less nefarious, but oddly fruitcake.
Here's the recipe:
"Frozen Fruit Salad -- luscious! Fruit cocktail, cherries, and marshmallows polka-dot this rich delicious salad-dessert. For pretty slices, freeze in round freezer cartons."
Well, it's not as bad as I thought, but still...
Double Gag Whammy
First direct your eyes to the top right corner of this picture (I know, it hurts, doesn't it). I'm a huge fan of Stuffed Peppers. I make kick ass peppers. Probably not as good as Meesha's, but my Sloppy Joe Peppers are rather delish. I am not a tremendous fan of baked beans, but that has to be the most disgusting/lazy/bland display of pepper stuffing I've ever seen.
Ok, let's talk about that pizza. I'm pretty sure that the old adage: "Pizza is like sex, even when it's bad, it's worth the effort" is blown to smithereens with this one. If Handsome tried to pull off "Pizza topped with canned spaghetti and a lattice of anchovy fillets and processed cheese" he'd be sleeping on the couch. That isn't pizza, that's the overspilled bowels of a night of bad culinary decisions. The green olives are that final touch. They accent the dead fish so well.
Last but not least, I saw this over on Strollerderby this week and while it's not a true retro-gag, the ghosts of 1950's moms everywhere will be nodding their heads and clapping in delight...
Spaghetti Dogs
Truly, words fail me. If I served this to my Darling, she'd be sleeping in our bed for a week after the Octopus Hot Dog Monster dreams she's sure to have. I wouldn't blame her. Hell, I might have nightmares about this anyway...
Happy Friday, have a great weekend!
Posted by MoxieMamaKC at 1:44 PM 6 comments
Well, it *does* rhyme with Maria
Darling's really into rhyming right now. Cat, mat, pat, rat...etc.
So, we're cruising down the road the other day and I'm discussing my friend, Maria, with Handsome.
We assume Darling is asleep in the backseat, but out of the blue, really loudly, she shouts, "Maria rhymes with diarreha!"
Well, yes. Yes it does.
I proceeded to let her know that the Maria diarreha song she began to sing was just as inappropriate in social settings as the "I see London, I see France..." song was last week.

It's the pits, really...
How freakin' cool is this? I'm a huge fan of Cool Things in Random Places, but this takes me back to my childhood desire to dig a hole to China. I did my best, but my mom cut me off when I'd only gotten 2 feet deep into the ground. Good thing Hell wasn't in my backyard, I guess.

To Me...On the Anniversary of My Solar Return
Solar Return is just a fancy, New Agey way of saying birthday. It somehow sounds more dramatic, doesn't it? And I married an actor, so obviously I'm inclined towards the dramatic.
So, I'm 32. A smidge older than yesterday, definitely no wiser.
Mostly I'm just tired and ready for the weekend.
But I get retrospective on the day the sun returns to the position it was in on the day of my birth. It's the historian in me, I guess.
I'll admit the last few years have really been tough on me. Some of the toughest in my life and I'm not sure I'm a better person for having endured them. I've let my vices and inner demons get the best of me and had too much inertia about the things I know I need to change. But time marches on and so do I.
I promise myself to do more of the things I love: write, read, yoga, find my spiritual center, be an even better wife/mother/friend...
Time to change, but only for the better and place the past in the past where it belongs.
This year I give myself the present of the future and the vision to see it.
So here's to 32...to a better year.

What kind of commenter are you?
I saw this over on mental floss and it's just a really interesting article. I'm not sure what kind of commenter I am, I just know I usually like to leave and receive 'em. (As long as they are mostly nice/at least has a valid point if I'm wrong)... I've been extremely busy lately and I haven't left as many comments/blogged as many entries as I'd like. Hopefully things will simmer down soon...

Adult Easter Egg Hunt Suggestions?
Against my better judgement (don't I have ENOUGH to do?!), I've agreed to host an adult themed Easter Egg Hunt tomorrow night. My sister in law talked me into being the host for an event that I've never even been to, so I'm not sure of the standards.
Apparently I'm in charge of hiding Easter Eggs in my back yard filled with things like condoms and slips of paper that say "Good for one Jello Shot" and "Good for One Pair of Edible Panties".
Any fun ideas? Usually I'm creative with this kind of stuff, but I'm drawing a blank. Nothing too gross, but I want to make it fun....

Let's Go Royals!!!
I don't care how bad they suck, Opening Day for the Royals is a High Holy Day of Awesomeness in my world. I love, love, love me some MLB!!!
I'm going to be soggy today, but I'll be at the K, drinking overpriced beer and scarfing some nachos. (If you're that really, really drunk girl who peed her pants in the Ladies restroom line last year, please don't stand next to me this time, m'kay? Thanks.)
I will maintain perfect somberness as I stare at the forbidden hot dogs and remember that Christ died for my sins.
But I'll be cheering for the Boys in Blue! Let's Go Royals!!!
This is my favorite time of the season...the brief few weeks I can kid myself that there's hope for the Royals being a contender for the pennant race. I embrace my self-delusion like a well loved security blanket.

Peep Show!
I've been a very bad, bad blogger lately and that's mostly because I've got some potentially bad, bad shit going on in real life. It sucks, I don't want to really go into it here, but needless to say, if you can think happy, fluffy, wonderful thoughts for me for a little while, Moxie would much appreciate it. All hope isn't lost just yet, but I'm not sure...
Anyway, Mental Floss' Peeps on Parade cheered me up. Check it out...I hate the taste of them, but they are a sure sign of Spring and that's a good thing, right?
Here's one of my favs, The Wreck of the Edmund Peepsgerald . . .

A Lesson In Gratitude...
Darling spent last weekend with my mom and dad. We aren't going to see my family on Easter so, naturally, the Easter Bunny came a little early and visited at Grandma's.
When my mom and dad brought her back on Sunday evening, I told Darling to thank Grandma and Grandpa for all the cool stuff (a Peeps necklace, an Easter dress, and LOTS of candy) they gave her.
Darling, with all the self-righteousness and justice a 4.5 yr old can muster, refused.
"Grandma didn't get these for me, the Easter Bunny did."
I told her to thank Grandma anyway.
She refused.
I guess she has a point...
Why give Grandma any credit when a mythical fertility creature deserves the props?
Good imagination, spoiled brat or future judge, I haven't decided...

THORNBURY -- Brandon Norfeet is currently featured on the homepage for Cheyney men's basketball, but last season's standout freshman will not be playing for the Wolves.
Head coach Dominique Stephens talked last season about building his program around the silky smooth point guard, and then he transferred to Indiana (Pa.) in the off-season. But Stephens now believes that former Chester High School standout Darius Collins will eventually make everyone forget about Norfleet, who averaged 13.6 points, 2.7 assists and 1.6 steals.
'Even without Norfleet, we have a good core of young players,' Stephens said. 'From what I am seeing, the absence of (Norfleet) is not a major concern, especially the way Collins has been playing.
'It was a blow, but it's not about talent. (Norfleet) was a guy we thought would be a four-year guy in our program.'
The loss of Norfleet, and the absence -- at least through the end of this semester – of Rashaad Slappy, is certainly going to have an effect early. It's two reasons why the Wolves were picked no higher than seventh out of eight teams in the PSAC East preseason coach's poll.
'I think we are definitely going to be better than seventh,' Stephens said. 'I like this team. I am excited and looking forward to going out and proving them wrong.
'We have better leadership, which was an issue last year. I don't think we'll have discipline issues this season.'
An explosive wing player, the 6-foot-4 Slappy led CU in rebounding (6.5) and was second in scoring (15.4) as a junior a year ago, but is 'going through some academic issues,' according to Stephens. The Philadelphia native missed a dozen games a year ago due to off-court issues.
'Worst-case scenario, he'll be back by the next semester,' Stephens predicted. 'But even with his issues now, he is stepping up, trying to lead this group.'
Until then, much of a load will fall on Collins and senior forward Deshawn Curtis, who missed four games a season ago due to undisclosed disciplinary reasons. A sophomore from Chester, Collins (6-0) played sparingly last winter but has made enough strides to earn the starting spot at the point. The 6-6 Curtis was fourth in scoring (12.8) and second in rebounding (5.3) in 2012-13, and has shown glimpses of brilliance but also had a tendency to get lost at times.
'I am looking for a whole lot of consistency from Curtis,' Stephens said. 'It's his senior year -- he's got to have it at this point.'
Most of the other impact players are from the sophomore class that was previously led by Norfleet, including frontcourt players Calvin Brown (6-9) and Christopher Bryney (6-7), along with combo guard Khalil Meadows (6-0), swingman Jerrod Johnson (6-3) and premier defender Eugene Lett (5-7). Junior college transfer Charles Ayetigo (6-3) is also in the mix.
'I will go to the got hand all day, but we are looking for guys to try to make their teammates better,' Stephens pointed out. 'I think this group understands that a bit more than last year's group, who didn't get it until the end of the season.'
The Wolves won their last five to go 14-12 overall last season, and would have qualified for the PSAC Playoffs if not for NCAA postseason probation. During the late surge, Cheyney made strides on defense, but still surrendered a hefty 74.4 points per game. The sanctions expired last spring.
'As far as I know, we are now eligible for the playoffs,' Stephens said. 'It's a big goal for men's basketball because it seems like this is the only program that has a track record for qualifying for the postseason.'
Top priorities for this season are to avoid foul trouble (CU attempted 200 fewer free throws than its opponents) and to improve on the glass, particularly on the defensive end.
'With our size, some guys were thinking we are going to dominate the rebounding, and they didn't think they had to box-out,' Stephens said. 'Even though we have some size, we still have to work at it, which has been a problem in the past.'

BRUSSELS – The European Union will no longer import any fish caught by vessels from Cambodia, Belize and Guinea, accusing their governments of failing to co-operate in fighting illegal fishing.
The sanctions, approved Monday by EU fisheries ministers, mark the first time the 28-nation EU has imposed such a punishment.
They mean the EU will not import any fish products caught by boats or ships from the three countries and EU vessels will not be allowed in those countries' waters.
The EU has been working for years to reduce illegal fishing of fish such as shark and bluefin tuna worldwide, urging foreign governments to improve surveillance and enforcement of illegal catches and ensure that stocks are not permanently depleted.

Beautiful card Sue, it's gorgeous.
Welcome to Heidi, as our ladies have already said, you have found the best blog ever.
Carmen, good to hear the Kid is doing well enough to visit. His girlfriend sounds delightful and a real keeper. They are both so strong.
My best wishes for his health and their future together.
June, I did know about your sisters, I was the eldest of 6, four brothers, then Mum had my sister a year before she died. My Nana brought up my sister from 3 months old as Mum was so poorly and we were to young to cope with everything. She only lived a few minutes away so we saw her every day.
Girls, you are so right about the grandchildren, such joy, my eldest Luke is nearly 20, so handsome and a lovely young man and my only granddaughter Rachael, 14 is gorgeous, as are the twins.
Helen, hope you are feeling more comfortable bow stitches are out, physio, I think you were right with torture but necessary, hang in there.
Elaine, hope Andrew got loads of rest. Big hugs for you all. Hope dr appointment went well for you.
Hugs to all, especially our poorly and missing friends, TinaT and NannaTina, Norah, Yvonne, Wheeley, missing you gals.

Morning Sue.
My first thoughts about this sample was it looks very regal and opulent and the design of the heart is sooo pretty Sue. Although it's a brilliant 'gift' to give to that special couple, you could colour theme the heart and it's contents for those milestone anniversaries maybe. I've not watched the 'how to' yet but it's the next on my to do list, what a chore - NOT ☺ so before I indulge myself into the four walls of your YouTube studio with a hot large glass of latte,I will send my usual hugs, and hope you have the most fantastic day either there or here or maybe in between ??!!

You really are a talented person Sue to come up with such creations from your dies and stamps, I feel honoured and privileged to be your friend.
Pam, you like I must have so many memories of when we were growing up, I know whenever I get together with my sisters we talk and laugh so much remembering, that is one of the good things about coming from a big family. I have 4 grandchildren, boys are 21 and 14 and girls are 15 and 5, they bring us so much joy.
Elaine, hope Andrew has rested up and is feeling much better. and Helen keep up the physio, believe me it does get easier.
Stay safe, healthy and happy, hugs, June Smith xxx

Wow what an outstandingly lovely card, Sue, that heart die is so pretty and love it all - curled corner, sentiment, floral element. Guess it would work just as well without the shaker. Do like that you are using a little mirror card - even if you do give it a bit of distressing! Video, as ever, really appreciated.
Thanks Pam, echoing again. Such a tragedy for your family losing your Mum, and what a lovely Nana.
Heidi - welcome, love your expression - Sue's card today also "sent right through all my fences".
Hugs for Laine (my grandmother-in-law always said I had plebeian tastes, make of that what you will!!) And for Carmen - what an inspiration the Kid and his girlfriend are.
Happy day everyone.

Beautiful work Sue ,i wish i had money to buy all your lovely dies.
I am waiting to have my back assessed whatever that means ,but as the walking stick does not help i will take anything. Andrew is doing just fine , hopefully another treatment on Thursday.
Pam ,so tragic losing your mum but thankfully your lovely Nan kept you all together, My john lost his Mum when he was 5,his two sisters 3 and 6 months of age, his dad had lost one leg in the Somme war , he found he could not cope and so had the girls put into care , sadly they lost contact as the years went on ,however after years of looking for them we found them , one living not too far away and one in Wales , all of them being in their 30s. We all meet up for family parties and get to see each other quite often now and always talking of times gone by .
I will jump on your wagon again today if thats alright.
Sending the usual hugs to all

Dear Sue and Awestruck-ettes,
OK now you're starting to get through to me on the chrysanthemums. Love that tipping with gold. Might not be much longer before I succumb.
Am I just cheap, or does it seem like a waste of good mirror card to emboss a whole sheet and then just let two tiny bits show? I sometimes wonder if, when you're matting your layers with really nice card, you sometimes cut out the middle so you can use most of the paper for something else -- since only the edge is showing anyway.
Today I looked right at 1 a.m. East Coast (of U.S.) time and didn't see the new card. Took me a few to realize we went on Daylight Savings over the weekend, so I need to look at 2 a.m. Now.
One of my assignments during Tuesday's near-blizzard is to go see if the surfing enthusiasts are out there riding the storm waves.
Enjoy your Tuesday moments. Thanks for the glorious jeweled heart.

Just stunning, beautiful dies and flowers.

Oh, what a fabulous, sophisticated and elegant card. I don't usually think of shaker cards int that way, but this one certainly is! It would be just perfect for so many special occasions like weddings and anniversaries and while I love the colours in the demo, it could be made in any colour combination to suit the occasion. I adore the gold tipped chrysanthemums,lovely finishing touches. But, oh dear, I haven't got these dies or the heart.... and I feel them calling to me!!! Thank you for sharing this.

Hi sue love the gold and white card and how u flipped one corner and l generally don't like shaker cards to be honest but this one small shaker heart quite effective but still not a fan
- 14 March 2017 at 11:55
Absolutely stunning card. I just recently purchased the heart fillable dies, all 3 sets of them, and the fronds dies for my friend's birthday....so beautiful. She opened them immediately and we die cut them...oh, my, they are so pretty. The details on the heart dies is "to die for"...LOL pun intended. While she offered to share them with me, I think I'll have to add them to my die collection.
Thanks for another wonderful video. I already texted my friend to tell her to watch it, too.

Hello Sue,
I'm sorry I'm very late today! It's just been one of those days and I did want to watch the video first!
It's a beautiful card but personally I'd prefer it without the treat cup. I love how you just took a bit of the shine off the heart! It's such a pretty Die. Great tip too about fixing the rolled edge down. The flowers are gorgeous and the sentiment is a lovely one. Thank you so much. Oh Sue, the Glitter Kiss is amazing!! Great product!
Donita - the thought of riding storm surf waves makes me ill without adding a blizzard to the picture! Stay safe !!
Helen Bell - keep going with the physio it will be worth it and you will be able to craft again pain free!
Yvonne- I do hope all your travels and helping your parents hasn't made you too unwell. Thinking of you and missing you!
Love to all my lovely friends on the blog!

Hi Sue and everyone
What a wonderful card. It's so majestic. Just lovely. Unfortunately I have not watched the video yet... but fortunately I can look forward to watching it tomorrow. I love the embossing folder it goes perfectly with the dies used.
Pam I am feeling more comfortable now the stitches are out thank you, the bruising is nice and colourful now too. Definitely agree the physio is worth the pain and will help in the long run. To June, Izzy, Pat and Myra thanks for the comments. I think I have it easy compared to what you had to go through June, I think the upper limbs are easier to cope with than the lower ones. I have had pain and impaired movement for so long I can't wait until I'm healed properly. They've told me it will be a long haul, but steady progress is better than it getting worse like it was. Thanks to all those who echoed Pams comments too.
Lots of love

Hello Sue,
Today's card is so opulent, and definitely a wow card. I love it. Thoroughly enjoyed watching the video, and a great tip about backing the treat cup although like Myra I think I would prefer it without a treat cup. The chrysanthemums look fabulous tipped in gold, they are my new go to flower at the moment.
Pam bless you it must have been hard growing up without your mum, glad you had your nana to care for your sister.
Elaine what a lovely ending to a sad beginning, so pleased John found his sisters.
Donita it makes me shiver just thinking about your weather let alone surfing, hope you get a good piece to write up.
Trish I hope Elissa has a wonderful trip to Cologne, it's beautiful. Think I can guess which company your daughter works for, yummy.
Helen, keep up the good work, it'll be worth it and you'll be back crafting in no time. Big hugs.
Laine, George Michael? Really?
Love and hugs for all

Hi Sue,
This is a stunning card! Simple but elegant and sophisticated! Love the colors. The gold tipped chrysanthemums is a nice touch. A card with an embossed background is a winner for me!
It would work just as well without the shake, as 'P' in Wales said. It still has lots of beautiful elements to be a gorgeous card.Thank you sharing and for the great video.
Pam – So sad to hear about your mom. When I was very young I thought that Moms live forever. The life is not a fairy tale for everybody. I think your Nana was as special person and for sure you inherited something from her: the kindness and care for others. As I said before, when I see your comment on the top I know that the day will be just fine. Thank you to be here every day!
Heidi – A warm welcome for you from Canada.
Elaine- Hope you'll feel better. Hugs for the three of you.
Laine – Are you still playing with your new toys?
PP - Wishing you well. Hope you'll be back soon.
Starting today I am the happy owner of some of Sue's dies: Striplet Timeless,Corners Square & Triple Gemini -Pictor! I am planning to make a few small cards and these dies fit perfectly my needs. They are so pretty. My wish list becomes longer each day.
Have a great day everyone.

Shuttle between lakes region, Portland coming this summer
Service hopes to attract shoppers, commuters
A new commuter service connecting Naples and Portland was scheduled to begin Monday, but now won't start until later this summer.
The Portland-based Regional Transportation Program said it needs the extra time to finalize an exact schedule and route. Still, the company and the Lakes Region community have high hopes for the service.
From the causeway in Naples, it's about 30 miles down Route 302 into Portland. In between are a lot of people who work and shop.
"We finally saw the density along 302; we finally think it will work this time," said Dan Goodman of the Regional Transportation Program.
After being proposed decades ago, there is finally a combination of federal, state and local funding for the service to begin. There was also an overwhelming response to a recent online survey asking for input, the company said.
"[There was interest] from people who are traveling to work from the Lakes Region, traveling to work into Portland, residents who want to go to all the great businesses along 302 and the recreation," Goodman said.
Christine Powers, a member of the Naples Select Board, said the town has worked for years to put the shuttle system in place.
"We're very hopeful it will be popular and be able to maintain it," Powers said. "We have a low social-economic base in many pockets of Naples, and there are a lot of people who just don't have, some don't have their own automobile."
The new bus seats 18 passengers, has wireless Internet, bike racks and wheelchair accessibility. Initial plans call for four round trips daily with stops in Raymond, Casco, Windham and Westbrook, a popular corridor that Goodman said has the potential to deliver a lot of people.
"We think the population is there from Naples to Portland," Goodman said. "The population has grown and we see a lot of interest in public transportation."
The price for the shuttle will be somewhere between $1.50 and $5, depending on the length of the trip.

Having enjoyed an epic run as Michael Scott on "The Office," Steve Carell has wisely decided to exit the show after one more season and focus on films.
"I just think it's time," Carell told E! Online. "I want to fulfill my contract. When I first signed on I had a contract for seven seasons, and this coming year is my seventh. I just thought it was time for my character to go."
That Carell has decided to leave following the 2010-2011 season should hardly come as Earth-shattering news, but his unwavering declaration does appear to put to rest any further speculation on the subject.
U.S. & World
The day's top national and international news.
While some may find the idea of leaving questionable, the fact is that Carell's been playing with house money for about four years now. When the show first aired on NBC (yes, the same people who own us) in 2005, it struggled mightily to find an audience and was met with great resistance from those of us who had dearly loved Ricky Gervais' original BBC series.
But by the graces of the decision makers here at 30 Rock, the show was allowed to develop a following, with its audience growing by more than 50% during the show's second season.
Carell is likely aware that even under the best of circumstances he could get another three to five years out of the show, that his energy would be better spent tending to his ailing film career, which could easily go another 20 years if properly managed.
Forget the box office number, "Date Night" was a mess, "Get Smart" was DOA, and the less said about "Evan Almighty," the better. That said, he's got three very promising projects in the pipeline, with "Despicable Me" out July 9, "Dinner for Schmucks" arriving July 30 and he's got an untitled marital crisis comedy co-starring Ryan Gosling, Emma Stone, Julianne Moore, Marisa Tomei, Kevin bacon and Josh Groban on the way.
Carell also told E! that this departure didn't mean the end of the show, and we'd have to agree. With "The Office" losing a bit of its oomph over the past season, Carell's departure would allow for a reconfiguring of the show's focus. There is no shortage of great bit players in the mix to fill 22 minutes a week: BJ Novak, Kate Flannery, Creed Bratton, Craig Robinson... Weep not for Steve Carell: like every good visitor to your home, he's leaving before you grow sick of him.

Bill Bryan also looks to boost unified communications and collaboration capabilities.
Bill Bryan became CIO of Missouri in January, after spending 18 years as an assistant attorney general in the Missouri Attorney General's (AG) Office. While at the AG's Office, he built a reputation for handling complex cases and championing new technologies to make attorneys more effective.
GT: What are your priorities?
A: The first challenge is the state Web sites. We can get the most bang for our buck and time by improving our Web presence and letting citizens know what we're doing, how to get information from us and how to access services more efficiently. Also, we're in the third year of a consolidation effort, and the consolidation to date has been largely financial. We gathered the money, people and other assets, but we haven't set about using them in a unified way. That, I think, is our long-term goal.
Utah recently moved to a 4/10 government workweek for economic and ecological reasons. Do you see things like that being made possible through a more robust Web platform?
A: Absolutely. If you don't have a Web presence in the U.S. today, you don't exist. Our analytics show that browsers like Safari are increasing rapidly. That tells us we're getting lots of people who are accessing our Web pages from mobile devices like iPhones. This is a trend that states can't ignore. If we're not providing services and information this way, we won't be serving our constituents well. I think it's going to provide us a lot of opportunity. As we move to more Web-based platforms, we're going to modernize systems.
What impact will the economic stimulus have on your IT projects?
A: It's very difficult to tell. There are many different projects in all the agencies that are under consideration, and almost all of them have an IT component. There are things we're specifically interested in that'd help us improve our network and capability for reaching out to corners of the state that are really independent of other agencies. But this is a rapidly moving target, and it's hard to say how much we'll benefit.
What's on your wish list?
A: Unified communications. I'd like to see an investment that would allow us to provide productivity tools that would let our employees collaborate and [work remotely].

With Europe undergoing a period of prolonged economic and political uncertainty, the CBRE Hotels European Investor Intentions Survey aims to give hotel property stakeholders useful insight into the capital deployment plans of investors in hotel real estate. In doing so, we hope to provide a clearer picture of the future shape of the regional hotel investment market.
- This year's European Investor Intentions Survey was answered by 336 real estate investors, all of whom have a significant interest in the hotel asset class.
- We were encouraged to find that an overwhelming majority of survey respondents intend to invest either the same or more capital into hotel real estate in 2018, compared with 2017.
- With all indicators pointing to another strong year for European hotel investment in 2018, we seek to answer the key question: which European hotspots will come to the fore?

i just now noticed this. i have a sign on my bedroom door and it's says, Partental Advisory Keep Out. and that has 23 letters. i had that sign on there for a long time. my birthday doesn't have 23 in it. well at least i don't think it does. do u? my birthday is Sep. 28, 1990. if u know let me know. but i doubt it. i checked.
I was taking the bar-code sticker off of a box, and 23 was on there. When I went to pull it off, it only ripped around 23! I'm not making this up, I don't think I really can.

Has anyone noticed:
Shakespeare was born on April 23 and he died on April 23!
I just found this out about me:
All of the letters in my name add up to 23
I was born at 8:15 (8+15=23)
"No time outs. Only DEATH!"
"I don't like to brag and I won't cuz I don't have to!"
Uau !!!!
Did anyone notice on lost the television show on season one, the boarding gate in which the airplane that crashed was gate A-23?!!!!!
Just wondering...
When once asked what I would do if I met Jim I said that I would give him so many hugs because he is so damn HOT and then I would tell him to get married. Response, "he is hot, but...nevermind."
You should see this:
"No time outs. Only DEATH!"
"I don't like to brag and I won't cuz I don't have to!"
The TV show Lost has alot of connections to the Number 23. The producers said once that the number is used throughout.
The studio where the show is filmed is actually Studio 23
The flight that crashed was Flight 815. 8 + 15 = 23
The numbers 4 8 15 16 23 42
I'm sure theres more, but listing them all would seem crazy... am i crazy? lol
Look at this:
My name is Patricia Molina = 14 letters
and Jim Carrey = 9 letters
14 + 9 = 23
I think I am part of the enigma!
"Happiness is felt by making other people happy."
I can't wait for the date, when the movie going to release in hungarian language...
