As the clouds over the European economy get headlines on business pages, the social unease spreading through the continent provides more troubling news. In France, Switzerland, and Austria, right-wing parties known for racist and nationalist platforms have gained ground. Germany's neo-Nazis are seeing a renaissance as well. In Greece, a soccer player was banned for a Nazi salute. But nowhere in Europe has a nascent fascist movement made greater inroads than in Hungary.
Flying under the radar, the Jobbik party has staked a hold on the hearts, minds, and Facebook pages of Hungarian youth. Sadly, it's not just the possibility of secession from the European Union that's attracting followers: Jobbik scapegoats Jews and ethnic Roma. The party won 17 percent of the Hungarian Parliament in 2010 and has only gained ground since.

I thought that this was a great book. The autho did a great job describing all of the different settings and creatures. Since the book was science fiction it was sort of hard to keep track of the different creatures but after a while you begain to memorize them. Another good thing about this book was the action. There were quite a few good battle sceans with animal vs. creature. Overall I believe that Garth Nix did a great job writing his book Shade's Children.

A man who beat his girlfriend's son to death because he soiled himself was sentenced to 18 years in prison and lifetime probation on Monday morning.
Judge Warren Granville handed down the sentence after Jorge Busso pleaded guilty to second-degree murder and child abuse in the death of 4-year-old Ramon Alejandro Haro Colin of Mesa in December 2010.
Police said Busso whipped the 4-year-old with a belt after the little boy soiled himself.
Busso tried telling detectives the toddler hit his head on the wall. The child was hospitalized with massive head trauma and body bruises and died two days later.
The boy's mother was at work when the child was taken to the hospital.

A cheering crowd in Waitsfield Sunday helped nearly 1,300 runners cross the finish line of the 3rd Annual Mad Marathon. And for the first time ever, the race is dedicating all 26.2 miles to sustainability. This year, Mad Marathon organizers partnered with 1% for the Planet, a platform for businesses to donate small annual percentages to environmental organizations. "I think it fits with Vermont, and especially in the Mad River Valley. We have a lot of farms here -- a lot of organic -- and 1% of the Planet is based right here in Waitsfield, so it was a natural fit," said Melissa Roberts, a marathon organizer.While the race organizers had a goal of raising awareness for local sustainability, some runners had additional objectives. Like Nathan Bedford, who helped start Hannah's House, after losing his sister who struggled with bipolar disorder for many years. "It's awesome, this is our biggest fundraiser. We are constantly trying to find new ways to raise money and keep this organization. We are helping a lot of kids and families right now, and we have gotten a lot of thanks from people in the neighborhood," Bedford said. The organization provides therapy for families with children and young adults who are struggling with mental illnesses. Bedford estimates the 30 plus runners raised over $30,000 for Hannah's House.The scenic course winds through the Mad River Valley hills, which organizers say makes the marathon both beautiful and tough. But for runners like Steve Meunier, tough hills make crossing the finish line that much sweeter. "Because it is such a hilly course, there is a great sense of accomplishment in doing that, but completing any marathon for anybody is a great sense of accomplishment," he said.And with the unpredictable weather lately, race organizers say they were relieved Mother Nature cooperated long enough for the marathon to take place."You worry about the humidity because people can get really dehydrated then and then of course we have had frequent thunderstorms, so we had to plan as if it would be fine. And fortunately we have really lucked out, the few sprinkles we have had have actually been good for the runners," Roberts said.

Powell's Terriers battle for point
Chris Powell's wait for his first win as Huddersfield manager continues after his side were held to a 0-0 draw at home to Wigan on Tuesday.
The former Charlton boss was denied a first point in charge at the John Smith's Stadium on Saturday after a stoppage-time penalty gifted Middlesbrough all three points.
But the Terriers were not to be denied for a second time as they produced a battling performance to ensure Uwe Rosler's side remain without a win on the road so far this season.

Co-regulation is the approach to the regulation of housing put in place by the Tenant Services Authority and continued after the TSA's abolition by the Homes and Communities Agency. Co-regulation is a hands-off approach from the regulator, which sets certain National Standards, but leaves each housing association scope to work out with its tenants and other stakeholders how best to achieve them through its Local Offers.
The TSA characterised co-regulation as "robust self-regulation by the boards and councillors who govern the delivery of housing services, incorporating effective tenant involvement subject to a 'backbone' of regulation."
This approach to regulation places an emphasis on boards taking responsibility to seek assurance in the quality of their organisation's services and performance through independent checks including resident involvement.

GREENBUSH, Va.- The 69th arson in Accomack County was a single story trailer set ablaze in the early morning hours on Sunday. The proximity of the trailer to an abandoned home sparked the 70th fire forcing firefighters to fight two fires at once.
Gilbert Cutler lives just down the road from the most recent fires and says that he has lived in Greenbush his entire life. Cutler said he noticed that the trailer and home had not been used in many years.
"I walk every day and my wife walked with me one day and the trailer door had been open for four or five years and I said, 'Pauline...That door. I think he is going to get us next. And you know, sure enough,'" Cutler said.
As the number of arsons continues to grow, some are ready for some divine help. Pastor Steve Jones of the Shore Presbyterian Church said there is a prayer service Tuesday night from 7 to 8 at Nandua High School. The pastor said they will be asking for God's help to stop these fires and give county residents their piece of mind back.
"If they have any future of catching this man, they're going to need God's help. They're going to need God's help because what they're doing right now is totally nothing. I don't see anything that they're doing. They're one way, He's another way. If the cops are in Onley, he is setting a fire in Atlantic," said Greenbush resident, Mildred Wise.
A high reward, increased patrols and check points have not stopped this arsonist yet. Some say that hopefully prayer is the answer for Accomack County.

Congrats on the new body! No fun not having it work as you expect out of the box, but good to hear it seems to be working now. As for the high ISO noise (or more accurately, the lack thereof) I have been reading that the D3 has fairly aggressive and sophisticated noise reduction algorithm going on in camera, and I wonder if the D300 has the same thing, only less so, but I have no idea how you would test that.
I have been itching to upload my Thanksgiving pics, but work has been an absolute bear this week (there is even an HDR sunset since you guys have been talking about them)
Thanks! I think that there might be some truth to the idea that they are applying more sophisticated algorithms. But I think the fundamental design differences play a part too. In the case of the D300 it is moving to a CMOS sensor which inherently produces less noise. In the case of the D3 it is the larger sensor and micro lenses. Whatever it is I'm happy to have more sensitivity.
The D300 also employs an optional D-lighting function to preserve highlight detail, which is kind of intriguing. Lack of exposure latitude and highlight clipping is one of the things that has always has bugged me about digital camera images. I will have to play with it and see what it does.
Also, today's announcement by Nikon of loadable user settings (available on their site) that match color to the D2X is kind of cool too.
Thanks for the sample pics. Amazing difference!
Anything worth shooting is worth shooting twice. Bullets are cheap. Life is priceless.
The images were shot using mostly default settings and saved as jpegs. I wanted to see what the camera's processing would do with the images. Although now that you mentioned it, I went back and checked the NR settings and the D200 was set to "Low" rather than "Normal" which would have been the default. So maybe the D200 could have done a little better. I set it to low for my normal shooting and do NR in Photoshop later and I forgot to reset it. So this comparison may not be totally fair, but I will say that my experience with the D200 is that auto white balance is a problem at high ISO and the D300 appears to be better at that.
This is a similar image shot with the D200 at the same exposure with NR set to 'NORM"
D200 - 1600 ISO with "Normal" high ISO NR
It is less grainy but detail is lost. The detail of the vertical lines of the blinds holds up much better with the D300. To me, the D200 NR looks blotchy.Keep in mind that this is a 465 pixel square out of a 3872x2592 image. It also looks like I might have a stuck pixel. Also notice color balance is different from the prior image. It's the consistency of auto white balance that is the problem at high ISO. I sometimes take continuous shots and they are all just a little different--this is under fluorescent of vapor lights at high ISO.

Here is an very technical (so probably not very useful in real world terms) comparison of the D300 and 40D sensors. But what is interesting is the D300 does some processing before the file is written to RAW (it looks like the 1Ds MkIII might do this as well now, which just seems to go against the whole RAW thing). Also I found it interesting that there isn't much difference in dynamic range between the 12 and 14 bit modes for the D300 (or for any camera), about 1/3 of a stop, which means that the overall size of the loaf of bread is about the the same for 12 and 14 bits, but with 14 bits your slices of bread will be thinner, which means the noticeable difference should be better gradations and less posterization.
On a completely unrelated note, it looks like the 1Ds MkIII will release Friday! At 21mp it will be interesting to see if they can keep the noise under control. If it does, it could give some competition to the medium format bodies for studio shooters, but with the distinct advantage of 5fps. You just need to be ready for the 25MB image size.
For 8 large, it better be good
Interesting article, thanks. It looks like the D300 is a significant improvement over the D200 but the 40D is still has the edge in IQ. My understanding is that the D300 uses a Sony sensor that does some NR on the chip. Sony has manufactured mostly CCDs in the past and so perhaps they are a little behind Canon in CMOS technology. The article appears to confirm that the D3 is likely a state-of-the-art benchmark camera.
I am also anxious to see what the 1Ds Mark III can do. The density of the photosites would be comparable to a 14MP DX/APS sensor which would lead you to think noise might be a problem. I will be interested to see what kind of technology they employ to address noise and light fall off in the corners of the image. I'm not sure I'm ready for a 21MP image in a 35mm format though. The workflow would consume a lot of resources and you really can only use the very top quality lenses, which is another huge investment. Although it is still probably cheaper than most medium format digitals.

gotta love that title -.-
------Original post----
Hello guys! My name is peter i am a 15 (17) year old living in Sweden.
I am a self taught artist with the desire to improve and hopefully work with art someday . Please tell me what to change in my pictures because at deviant art they don't provide the feedback i want.
I'm aware that all my pictures lack detail but recently I've started working on it.
Since the beginning of the year i started to paint daily(one environment a day keeps the doctor away?). Ive managed pretty well so far I draw people and landscape-thumbnails on paper while just paint landscapes on the comp. I hope you can help me get better!
Here is some recent work.
did this yesterday, i felt very lazy :C
had ref
Everest study not done tho, probably will never finish it.
arm study
just love the platform
The guy to the left was the one i did first.
oldie, should have refined it way more. Probably should do it sometime.
Gonna have to finish this one
need refining
started to use perspective lines, need to use em moar -.-
MEH did this at the very beginning of the year
OK so what can i improve? I have hard skin, smack me with you comments. Doesn't matter if they make me feel sad, I WANNA GET BETTER!

first people thumbnails on comp that i have made. i am pretty pleased for first attempt.
finished this picture today, im pretty pleased, but still have to improve.
Great landscapes! Keep doing them and maybe do some more anatomy studies and gesture drawings
Keep going!
THANKS JONDAWO!! Sure ill do more anatomy during the weekend.

sure your enviromentals are amazing! Some of them miss some deep though, not that I'm better That's just what I noticed. What I really love about your work, are the clear lines. There is nothing blurry if you go and refine your sketches and that just makes them look overnatural - in a good way obviously. That might not look very realistic but I'm not a huge fan of "photorealistic" art. It's exacltly that clear look that I just love!! I sure got to try that too soon
As I'm not so good with enviroments I think I can learn from these so I'll just subscribe now, thanks for posting your work!!
Thanks prototypt for the feedback, ill bear that in mind!
heavy concept for soldier
Hover bike thumbnail exploration, in alchemy
Further refining
Nice environments!
ok crap ive not been doing anatomy recently :C Gotta start again!
Thanks KONM
I started filming speedpaints: http://www.youtube.com/user/st0peter/videos
top of hoverbike
here is a vehicle concept for our game:
I like to watch you painting
So you need 27 minutes for that enviroment speed paint. Do you get the ideas while painting, or do you start with something in mind? I wouldn't probably be able to do something like this in half an hour, but I'm not doing speedpaintings anyway. Because I get stuck on details. And if one part is detailed I beginn refining all the rest of the picture But I will try this too soon!
ok attachments....
How do you make these smaller?
Proto: thanks! I usually get ideas as i go, but sometimes i know what to do.

Those landscapes are realy nice, but you should study more the human anatomy , for sure... it will help you a lot ...
keep on track, your stuff is great

ok will do right now jablar
one last quick lasso tool iceberg study
warmupish , im probably gonna post more anatomyyy today after lunch
fill in

It seems like your landscapes are nice, so just start working more on your figures, just keep going with them.
My sketchbook topic right here!http://www.conceptart.org/forums/sho...d.php?t=239476
Please tell me what to change in my pictures because at deviant art they don't provide the feedback i want.
demon: my environments are far from what i want them to be
harlow, you can start a thread on this site, people will give you feedback eventually whats you DA name?
Hey, here is a huge bug I noticed: http://www.conceptart.org/forums/att...1&d=1333447580
You can't just copy the image to create the reflection. For example you would only be able to see one side of the wall of the tunnel in the mirror, because its offset. The perspective just doesn't match anymore and that makes it feel wrong somehow.
I hope you know what I mean. It's quite difficult to describe if I can't point on the picture.
Hope that helps
Woah never thought of that, thanks proto!! Ill look for some ref to see how it really is
Maybe you should not see it as a mirrored image, but a second room behind a glass wall. This way you would draw it in the correct perspective You just have to imagine everything a bit different. mirrored
here is a quick example of the different perpectives. I know its not so good, but just to show you what i meant. The right one is correct, the left is incorrect (watch the symbols and where they mirror):

Improving rapidly, I see! Keep up hard work.
ok i started painting a environment, totally forgot to do anatomy :C
some alien concepts, my team still doesn't seem happy
i like this one more than the one above
and the landscape i shouldn't have done
yay some better anatomy
Hello. Quite a nice thread you have here. The environments are very promising.
At this point, I would advice you to grab a pen and pencil and to do some life drawings. Do anything from quick sketches to precise anatomy studies. This should support your academics, especially if you have some instructor who can check your progres on the go.
And thanks for dropping by my thread.
thanks merl1n, i should do that when im not by the computer , unfortunately the good art teacher from my school is sick and wont be attending more this term which is my last term at this school and then ill be moving on to a high school.
thanks for dropping by
here is a female im working on,
ok here i need some help with perspective
can the roof of house #1 do that? You see in the top view how i want the house but its not following the perspective rule, unless im using another vanishing point.

Award-winning author Maggie Anton will speak about the research behind her best-selling Rashi's Daughters trilogy, set in the household of the great medieval Talmud scholar who had no sons, only daughters. Among the topics she discusses: What was life like for Jewish women in 11th century France? Were Rashi's daughters really learned? Did they really wear tefillin? Why should a 21st century Jew want to read about Rashi and his daughters anyway?

As part of the process of modernization, modern nation-states found it necessary to require last names for their citizens. The Jews at first resisted, which caused the government to assign names randomly. When this process was finally complete, a class of identifiable Jewish names was generated, resulting int he desire of some Jewish citizens to change their names to escape anti-Semitism.

In recent decades, a growing number of scholars have become interested in the economic dimensions of Judaism and Jewish life. They have introduced new, social scientific, quantitative methodologies into fields traditionally dominated by qualitative, interpretive approaches. This paper will provide a sampling of online resources that are freely available for scholars interested in analyzing the changing economic climate at the end of the first decade of the 21st century and its impact on Diaspora Jewish life, particularly in North America, and within the State of Israel.

This session on electronic resources has three parts:
C.O.T.A.R., Collection of Torah Articles: The Evolution of a Database and its Uses, presented by Yaakov Aronson of Bar Ilan University
COTAR is a DVD database containing the full texts of articles in the field of Jewish law published in journals not readily available to the general public. The material chosen for scanning was chosen from the yearly bibliographies of outstanding articles in this field prepared by Rabbi Meir Wunder of the Jewish National and University Library (now National Library of Israel) and published in the annual Tehumin over a period of 20 years. The presentation discusses the preparations necessary before scanning could begin, permissions from authors and publications, etc, and the challenges presented by the project. Though the articles in the database are from the field of Jewish Law, their use as primary sources for political, cultural, social and economic history is discussed.
Creating a Bibliography and Catalog of All Hebrew Writings for the Future National Library of Israel, presented by Donald Goldman, publisher and producer
With the acceptance of using the MARBI Model B structure for Name Authority Files, and the linking together of all the various international formats with a VIAF (Virtual International Authority File) type server, and the experience gained in using these tools with Arabic, Goldman explains how it is now possible to create a cohesive bio-bibliographical unit.
The 'Voices of the Holocaust' Project at the Illinois Institute of Technology presented by Christopher Stewart, Ralph Pugh and Eben English, all three from the Illinois Institute of Technology (IIT)
In 1946, IIT psychology professor David P. BOder travelled to Europe to document the traumas suffered by persons displaced by the recent world war, including many survivors of the Holocaust. As his interviews progressed, Boder (armed with a wire recorder) soon abandoned his pre-planned structure interview questions and let his interviewees tell their personal narratives with as little hindrance as possible. His interviews contain much of the earliest extant Holocaust testimony anbd convey what scholar Donald Niewyk aptly describes as "fresh wounds." In 1999, IIT's Galvin Library launched its "Voices of the Holocaust" website, which features Boder's translations of 70 of his 124 interviews. Galvin Library is currently coordinating the original language transcription of all the interviews, along with the translation of those that Boder was unable to complete himself. The augmented website, which will include many search capabilities for students and scholars, will be unveiled during 2009. IIT Dean of Libraries Christopher Stewart, Galvin Library Digital Services Librarian Eben English, and IIT Assistant University Archivist Ralph Pugh discuss David Boder's life and work, the scope of his 1946 interviews, and the challenges facing IIT as it seeks to promote the widest possible sue of this invaluable resource.

These presentations were given at the 2009 Association of Jewish Libraries convention in Chicago, IL.

This session included two sections by two speakers.
Groshn-bibliotek – Popular Reading of Polish Jews in the 1930′s, presented by Lyudmila Sholokhova of the YIVO Institute for Jewish Research
Groshn-bibliotek (Penny-Library) is a series of over 200 popular biographies and other historical brochures that were published in Yiddish in Warsaw during the years 1930-1936. It includes essays about outstanding personalities, Jewish and non-Jewish, stories on major events in world history with special attention to famous Jewish individuals, and stories about the recent Russian revolution and its protagonists. Groshn-bibliotek was a Bundist edition. Its aim was to educate the Yiddish reading masses about Jewish and world history. Most secular Jews in pre-WWII Poland did not have formal high school education, but many were self educated through avid reading. The series reflects the high intellectual interests and the broad outlook of its authors and editors.
Yiddish Publishing in Argentina presented by Rita Saccal of the Seminario Rabinicio Latinoamericano "Marshall T. Meyer"
Rita Saccal focuses on the "Golden Age" of Yiddish literature in Argentina. She presents a very brief introduction to Yiddish literature inthe colonies, continuing witht he period between the late 19th centuray to the late 1950′s, when Argentina, or better said Buenos Aires, was considered the capital of Yiddish poetry and literature, compared only to Varshaw, Moskow and New York.
This session was presented at the 2009 Association of Jewish Libraries convention in Chicago, IL.

Stanford University Libraries acquired the papers of Eisig Silberschlag (1903-1988) in 2003. Silberschlag was recognized as an authority in the field of Hebrew literary criticism and won prizes for his translations of Aristophanes and Menander from Greek into Hebrew as well as for a book of his poems. He was much beloved as a teacher, served as Dean and later President of Hebrew Teachers College in Boston, and ended his career as a visiting professor of Judaic Studies at the University of Texas, Austin.
What makes this collection unique and valuable to researchers? Silberschlag never moved beyond second-tier status in academia nor did he succeed in having his plays produced by any of the leading theater companies in Israel or the U.S. Yet his correspondence files, which comprise the bulk of the collection, reveal that he was highly regarded by many of the literary and academic luminaries in the world of Hebrew letters and scholarship. The collection contains correspondence from writers S.Y. Agnon and David Vogel; historian Salo Baro; and publisher Avraham Stybel, among many others, and offers glimpses of the 20th century Jewish academic experience in Europe, Palestine and post-1948 Israel; and North America. This guided tour, illustrated by slides, includes excerpts from the collection's many highlights.
Anna Levia is Assistant to the Curator for Judaica & Hebraica Collections at Stanford University. She presented this paper at the 2009 Association of Jewish Libraries convention in Chicago, IL.

From the beginnings of intensive study of Jewish music over 100 years ago by A.Z. Idelsohn, approaches have changed significantly. Idelsohn provided the first comparative study of Jewish music comparing various traditions in Europe, the Middle East, to Yemen and beyond. His goal was to explain and define the essence of "Jewish music." As the field of ethnomusicology developed, scholars asked different questions looking more at the complexities of single traditions with less emphasis on larger comparative approaches. This presentation shows how the developments of the field of ethnomusicology, a discipline to look at the connection of music and culture, during the 20th century has impacted studies of Jewish music and offer examples of various approaches. Kligman also shares his research of Syrian Jews in Brooklyn with audio and visual material to demonstrate a particular connection of Jewish culture with Arab music.
Mark Kligman, PhD, is Professor of Jewish Musicology at Hebrew Union College-Jewish Institute of Religion in New York.

The focus of this session will be "personal narratives" and "oral tradition and folklore." Beatriz Gomez-Acuna presents a video montage including highlights from interviews and may invite some of the informants. "These people are fascinating as they have a very rich personal history and most of them are elderly (one of the men is 98). They recall with great affection and nostalgia their childhood and youth in places like Smyrna, Salonica, etc."
Presented by Beatriz Gomez-Acuna, Assistant Professor of Spanish at Elmhurst College, specializes on the folklore and oral traditions of Spain and especially the study of Hispanic Balladry.

Established in 1903 by Moshe Beinkinstadt, Cape Town's oldest Jewish book store remained in the hands of his descendants for 105 years. Situated in District Six, the district closest to the original harbour, not far from the castle built by the Dutch East India Company, the shop reflects the history of Cape Town's Jewish community. Suppliers of seforim, taleysim, tefilin, and even of herrings, all imported from Latvia in the very earliest days, the shop also served as a meeting place for Yiddish speaking intellectuals. Among some 3000 Yiddish and Hebrew books on its shelves were titles as diverse as the luried early 20th century Yiddish novels of Shmoer and bloyshteyn, information about birth control from 1930 Warsaw, translations of Goethe, Balzac, Ibsen, Chekhov, Dostoevsky, Tolstoy, Dickens, Marx and Kropotkin, Darwin's Ascent of Man, and Jean Meslier, the 17th century Catholic priest's philosophical essay promoting atheism! In the context of the social history of Cape Town's Jewish community, this paper will consider what this diverse collection reflects about the world of Yiddish speaking Jews in the first half of the 20th century.
Presented by Veronica Belling, Jewish Studies Librarian, Jewish Studies Library of the Kaplan Centre for Jewish Studies and Research and University of Cape Town Libraries.

The Jewish community of northeastern Ohio, or more simply, "Jewish Cleveland," has played an important role in the region's development since the first group of Jews to settle in the area arrived in 1839. This presentation will offer an overview of the growth and development of the region's Jewish community after World War II, drawing attention to the community's response to the arrival of Holocaust survivors, the move to the eastern suburbs, the role of Jewish leaders in the civil rights movement, and the local campaign on behalf of Soviet Jewry. The aim is to present a series of questions within a presentation on the community's development, questions which the presentation can only begin to address: How has the community's relationship to Jews outside the US affected local leaders and organizations? Why and how did Jews move to the eastern suburbs and how has the suburbanization of the community affected their concerns? How has the Jewish community forged alliances with non-Jews, and how have conflicts with other communities been handled? How has the community remained so vibrant, in spite of increasing urban sprawl and persistent demographic challenges? Posing the questions may lead to a new awareness of this more recent period of history. Special attention will also be given to the types of resources available in the Cleveland Jewish Archives to answer these questions.
Sean Martin is Associate Curator for Jewish History in the Cleveland Jewish Archives of the Western Reserve Historical Society in Cleveland, Ohio. Martin's academic interests focus on modern Jewish and Polish history. He has written articles and book reviews for several journals in these fields, conducted extensive research in Poland, Ukraine, and Lithuania, and given talks on the Holocaust and Jewish history in the US and Poland.

One of the most active and dynamic groups of Sephardim today are the Syrian Jews living in Brooklyn, New York. An extremely tight-knit community, they began moving from Syria at the beginning of the 20th centuray. Subjected to terrible persecution, a major wave of them came to New York in the 1920′s, and another group came when they were released by the government in the 1990′s. In New York they became a highly insular group, with a major edict that prevented almost any conversion into their community. This was intended to prevent dilution of the traditional community and has resulted in a highly homogeneous, close-knit group of jews whose numbers now exceed 75,000. Two scholars, Dr. Walter Zenner and Joseph A.D. Sutton, have carried out extensive studies of this gropu, with articles, oral histories, and other documentary evidence. The papers of both of these scholars are held in the archives of the American Sephardi Federation. In this presentation, we examine those papers and attempt to learn a little more about this fascinating group of Sephardim.
Randall Belinfante is the Librarian/Archivist of the American Sephardi Federation. Over the past seven years, he has expanded this Library/Archives from a small collection of 200 odd books and 20 boxes of papers to a collection that now exceeds 6,000 catalogued items and some 300 linear feet of archives. Randy is fascinated by all aspects of the Sephardim, with papers and articles dealing with communities from Brooklyn to Burma.

As well as a brief general overview of the DSS library, the differences revelaed by the contents of DSS texts in theology between Essenes, Sadducess and Pharisees is illustrated by looking at the topics of predestination, immortality, dualism, apocalyptic messianism, and angelology. Differences in halakhah are illustrated by touching on the laws regarding halah, peru u-revu, pikuah nefesh, li-fenim mi-shurat ha-din, oils, mikvaot immersions, harvesting the omer, tevel yom relating to the parah adumah, and some differences in Shabbat observances. The method of approach is to compare DSS theology, politics and halakhah with the evolution of mainstream Rabbinic traditions across history in order to illuminate, enhance, and increase our knowledge about Rabbinic observances, history and practices.

The field of Qumran Studies underwent a dramatic shift in 1990 with the expansion of access to the thousands of fragments previously unavailable to the majority of scholars. This talk summarizes the developments in our understanding of the meaning and significance of these materials for the study of Second Temple Judaism and identifies important issues in the ongoing academic work of Qumran scholars.

Very nice cushion, as thick as promised, pretty fabric that seems sturdy and durable. Extremely comfortable.

Fantastic !!!!!!!!!!!
We recently purchased the two chaise lounge cushions and they were exactly as I has pictured only thicker!! Wow they are awesome! So comfortable
This cushion was an excellent buy. It is very soft and replaces a very thin and worn out one. So this summer I can nap out in my lounge chair.

Every couple is different. It's something we are all told from the moment we start to consider marriage and babies, and the reality is, it's true. Every couple IS different. We have absolutely no way of knowing whether we are looking at a happy couple or a miserable one from the outside. The truth is, there are rarely any absolutes in life. But there might be in sex.
Married couples who have "sexless marriages" are, indeed, unhappier than those who have plenty of the between the sheets action. But just what constitutes a "sexless marriage"? I know for my husband, if we fall below once a week, he starts to get pissy.
It may sound bad, but it's true. There is a lot of door slamming and whining and "why aren't you paying attention to me?" But you know what? I'll take it. There are worse things that can happen.
Having known many couples over the years and having heard some of their intimate stories, I know that every couple has their magic number. Whether it's once a week or once a year, there is a bare minimum that is required to keep the magic alive.
Once you fall below that number, you start to feel less desirable, less attractive, and generally less. And that is NOT good for any marriage.
Having spoken off the record with a few friends on this subject, I am aware that once a week isn't the norm. But every couple has their "hmmm, why are we not being intimate?" moment. For me, I would start to get antsy around two weeks. I would start to feel neglected and like he didn't love me or find me attractive.
Once you reach that point, there is trouble. And if you go beyond that point? Look out. Sure, there are extenuating circumstances when people get sick or have a baby or travel for work, but in general, even in busy times, couples need to find their magic number and stick to it. If yours is one week like mine, you better find the time to get between the sheets even if it isn't what you want to do at that moment.
The person with the higher sex drive or who needs it more often is the one who wins in this case. Even if you don't feel like it, once you get started, it's usually true that sex is pretty fun.
So figure out your magic number and figure out your spouse's and then make your sex happen that often. Trust me. It will save your marriage.
How often do you and your spouse need to have sex?
Image via danielmoyle/Flickr
This week, none. Last week, I think 6-8 times. Ha..it usually evens out for us.
yeahright-Doesn't your father-in-law ever sleep? Does he sleep in the same room as you? Is he an invalid and requires 24 hour care? Are you so loud that he would hear a blow by blow of your lovemaking? I'm at a loss as to why having a grown man sleeping in your house would keep you from having sex with your husband. Maybe you're resentful of him living there and that's keeping you from wanting to have sex with your husband.
It's really hard to be in a relatively sexless relationship, but it happens not by choice sometimes. He has ANOTHER doc's appt next week to see what could be causing his ED, but it keeps getting worse instead of better. That doesn't mean that I'm going to head out the door. I love him in health and sickness, even though we haven't taken those vows. He would stand by my side if the shoe was on the other foot.

When Dennis Walters and his canine companion Bucky perform this weekend at Golfweek's Golfest Presented by Transitions Championship at the Downs Golf Practice Facility, they will bring an inspirational message of hope and perseverance to all who attend.
"I want to encourage people to reach for their dreams, strive for excellence and do something they didn't think they could accomplish," Walters said. "I'm able to do this by telling my story and using my experience as an example to challenge others.
"I also want to grow the game of golf and to prove with every shot I hit golf is a game for everyone. I'm living proof of that," he said.
"The last thing someone with a serious disability might think they can do is play golf. 'The Dennis Walters Golf Show' encourages people with disabilities this is something they can try, and when they see someone else in a similar situation who can do it, that is a big help," Walters added
A Jupiter, Fla. resident, Walters as a young man dreamed of playing on the PGA Tour. He seemed to be headed in that direction after winning three state championships as a junior in New Jersey, enjoying a successful collegiate career at North Texas State and finishing 11th in the 1971 U.S. Amateur.
His dreams were dashed in the summer of 1974 when the brakes on his golf cart failed as he was riding down a steep hill on a course near his home. He suffered severe spinal cord damage and was paralyzed below the waist. After months of therapy and rehabilitation, Walters was determined to return to the golf course. Playing from a wheelchair was impractical, but one day he had a vision that would make his dream a reality – to design a golf cart swivel seat that would swing 90 degrees away from the cart, allowing him to play.
Through trial-and-error, Walters discovered what worked and what didn't, teaching himself to hit sand shots and putt one-handed while balancing on crutches. It wasn't long before he could break 80 on a regulation course.
Within a couple of years, pros had noticed him on the course and he was asked to conduct local clinics. Three years after his accident, he began to spread his gospel worldwide.
During the last 35 years, Walters has made more than 3,000 appearances, and when he did his show for The First Tee of Anchorage a few years ago, it meant he has performed in all 50 states (in addition to Mexico, Canada and the United Kingdom).
'The Dennis Walters Golf Show' is a combination of golf lessons and life lessons. "Every person should have a dream," he explained. "If you have a dream and it doesn't work out, never stop dreaming. … get a new dream!"
Walters is one of a handful of honorary lifetime members of the PGA of America and was given the organization's Distinguished Service Award in 2008. He is a spokesperson and national ambassador for The First Tee. In 1978, he was named the winner of the Golf Writers of America's Ben Hogan Award, previously given to President Eisenhower, Babe Zaharias and Lee Trevino.
During his performance, Walters will hit balls with clubs made from a fishing rod, a crutch, a cell phone and a radiator hose. He hits shots blindfolded and through fire, along with the occasional 200-yard putt.
Amazingly, he must vie for the spotlight with Bucky, a 20-pound Terrier mix he found at Canine Castaways in Arcadia. Bucky, who is 4, follows three other canine companions who have teamed with Walters, including the late and beloved Benji Hogan.
"Bucky answers questions from the audience (Believe it!), tees the ball up and does other ball tricks," Walters said. "He is also a service dog, so he helps me in real life by picking up things I can't reach."
The Dennis Walters Golf Show will be performed at Golfest at 3 p.m. on Saturday and 11 a.m. on Sunday. It is only part of the fun and excitement promised to all golfers during the second annual Golfweek's Golfest Presented by Transitions Championship extravaganza.
Golfers of all ages and ability levels can sample and buy new equipment, get free lessons, enjoy clinics and demonstrations and enter the $25,000 Putting Challenge. Tickets are $10 daily for adults, with children 16 and under admitted free. Golfest hours are from 9 a.m.-4 p.m. on Saturday and 9 a.m.-3 p.m. on Sunday. Tickets are available at the Downs Golf Practice Facility or online at www.golfest.com.
A portion of the proceeds will benefit The Future Champions Golf Tour and The First Tee. Golfweek's Golfest is the nation's largest outdoor golf lifestyle event and the only such show in the Tampa Bay area.
In addition to Walters, the list of instructors and celebrities set to attend is a veritable "Who's Who" of golf teaching. It includes David Leadbetter, considered by many the world's No. 1 instructor and coach of the winners of more than a dozen major championships and 100 worldwide tournaments; Mike Shannon, a top-50 instructor and putting guru to many PGA Tour players; long-drive champion and trick-shot artist Mike Ziegler; Marius Filmater, creator of the SAM Putt Lab systems; golf entertainer Brad Denton; TaylorMade's 2009 National Club Fitter of the Year Bob Van Sweden; and numerous top area instructors, including PGA Class A professionals from the Downs Golf Practice Facility staff.
"Golfest is an excellent opportunity to bring out the entire family to try the latest products, receive instruction, win prizes and enjoy good food and beverages," said Downs Golf Practice Facility manager Jon Johnson.
Golfers can enter the $25,000 Putting Challenge sponsored by Paradise Golf & The Future Champions Golf Tour and the Cobra AMP Short Game Chipping Challenge, with a chance to win prizes and merchandise. Discounts will be offered throughout the weekend. For details, call the Downs Golf Practice Facility at (813) 854-4946.
