Forestone Synthetic Clarinet Reed
View All Recently Viewed Items
The most "Cane-Like" synthetic reed both in sound and appearance.
Forestone Synthetic Clarinet Reed
Forestone is a new synthetic reed from Japan that has most of the advantages of cane but none of the drawbacks. It is the ideal choice for clarinet and saxophone players at all skill levels who seek to free themselves from the problems of inconsistency and instability associated with cane reeds. Forestone reeds are made with a special material that contains wood fiber, more than 50 percent of which is actual bamboo. The result is a clarinet or saxophone reed that not only sounds and feels like a good cane reed, but looks like one too. Forestone reeds have a robust timbre that is clear and strong, with just enough buzz in the sound to ensure good projection and carrying power. Intonation is stable and the reeds articulate well from the lowest to the highest registers. Forestone reeds were developed in Japan over a 30-year period. Intensive research into appropriate materials and a new fabrication method for this type of product - injection molding - has resulted in the finest synthetic reed on the market.

Tippi Hedren
The Beauty Changes Lives Foundation held their 2nd annual Legacy of Style Event, Monday, September 23, at the Peninsula Hotel in Beverly Hills. Last year's inaugural event honored Vidal Sassoon with the Legacy of Style award for elevating the salon profession through his creativity and passion for the craft. This year, the Legacy of Style award was given to actress, activist and "Mother of the Vietnamese Nail Professional" Tippi Hedren. Hedren is credited with launching the Vietnamese-American Nail Profession, which today accounts for 50% of the total industry. She has committed herself to the education and empowerment of Vietnamese-American women by helping them find work in the professional nail industry over the last three decades.
In addition to the Legacy of Style Award, Jan Arnold, Co-Founder of CND, announced the creation of the Beauty Changes Lives CND Tippi Hedren Nail Scholarship Fund. This Scholarship fund was created to elevate, educate and expose the the career of professional nail technican. CND presented the fund with an initial donation of $184,000.
Lynelle Lynch, President of Beauty Changes Lives, described the successful philanthropic efforts of the foundation as an amazing example of the industry coming together. "From manufacturers, spas, salons, creative artists, together, to unite behind one mission, volunteering their time to inspire the future generation of our industry," said Lynch. "The accomplishments in our inaugural year are profound. We have raised almost two-million dollars towards our scholarship funds. This past year, 30 individuals have been blessed with a scholarship and we have given out over $175 thousand dollars."
Arnold shared an abbreviated version of the story of Tippi Hedren and the establishment of the Vietnamese nail business. "In the 1960s and '70s, Tippi, as a famous actress, would give back through work with the USO, with Feed the People. She would go to Vietnam and she would travel the country, she would get to know the people, and she fell in love with the people," said Arnold. "There was another famous actress there, Kieu Chinh, and Tippi and Kieu forged a very fast and deep friendship. And then Saigon fell. Now these people were without homes, without food and money. Many of them tried to flee. Everything changed. One day, Tippi got a phone call from Kieu who was calling all her Hollywood friends collect and one person took the call—Tippi Hedren. Not only did she help Kieu but she became dedicated to a refugee came near Sacramento called Camp Hope. She would go there to check on them, to bring them food. She knew that once the war was over, these people, an industrious, hard-working people, would need jobs.

Most patients have minimal pain by 3 months (or sooner) after knee replacement, and the majority return to the office and report that their discomfort level, activity, and quality of life are all dramatically improved. It is not unusual to have occasional muscle aches and persistent (but usually slight) swelling of the knee and extremity for several months. Depending on numerous factors, including the surgical approach, amount of surgical work needed, and particularly the state of the musculature around the knee before surgery, some persistent limp is usually expected. In some cases, a limp may be persistent for a long time after surgery (most often for a patient who has had significant muscle atrophy - or wasting - from longstanding disuse of the knee prior to surgery).
It is important to remember that while most patients are back working and getting out of the house within 6 to 8 weeks, they are usually continuing to see gains in muscle strength and range of motion for up to a year after surgery.
There is a wide variation in how soon patients return to work. It primarily depends on what you do and also on your physical condition before surgery.
Obviously, a young person who is in good health aside from a bad knee will be back to work much sooner than a patient who is severely overweight and out of condition, but most everyone gets there eventually if their health is reasonable and they work at the rehabilitation. Partial knee replacement patients tend to recover significantly more quickly than total knee replacement patients, and patients who have had bilateral (e.g., both knee) procedures take a little longer.
Some patients have been back to desk jobs within several weeks. Others who have very physical jobs, such as laborers, may need to take 10 to 12 weeks until they are able to meet the demands of their job. We recommend that everyone returns to work when they can function safely and with reasonable comfort. Each patient is responsible for determining if he or she can safely perform the activities of his or her job (no one else knows what the job entails better than the person who has to perform it).
If there is some accommodation by the workplace (e.g., to allow someone who normally works a standing job to do light duty at a desk for a short while), most patients are back to at least limited work by 6 weeks.
In general, it is best to avoid impact activities after knee replacement. Although some patients do activities such as jogging or contact sports, they usually do so against medical advice. Avoid situations where repetitive impacts or sudden jolts might occur. Impacts will decrease the life of the replacement and increase the likelihood of early loosening, possibly necessitating revision surgery.
Low impact activities such as walking, golf, cycling, swimming, hiking, or ballroom dancing are good sources of activity and cardiovascular exercise, and these activities are well tolerated by joint replacements (assuming your general medical condition allows them). Skiing on gentle slopes is usually safe, although we recommend against downhill skiing that involves significant twisting and turning. Most joint replacements will last for many years with proper care and low impact activities.
Some patients enjoy yoga or pilates, and these activities are usually fine for routine exercise with some modification to accommodate the range of motion recommended by your surgeon. While hip replacement patients do have some range of motion limitations, knee replacement patients are limited by their own ability (e.g., knee replacement patients do not have to be mindful about dislocation like hip replacement patients do).
Another area that patients are often afraid or embarrassed to ask about is sex after any joint replacement. Hip replacement patients have a little more restriction (see that chapter), but knee replacement patients are again generally limited by what they can do.
Generally, sexual activity is safe for both men and women once they feel comfortable enough to resume activities. Most patients can resume sexual activity 4 to 6 weeks after routine knee replacement if they are otherwise healthy enough, often sooner with partial knee replacements.
One area of caution is that of kneeling. Total knee replacement patients in particular find that kneeling is too uncomfortable, although it generally does not result in physical damage to the knee. If you have more creative positions in mind, most things can be accommodated with some common sense and by going slowly. If you have a concern about a particular activity, it is probably best to just ask your surgeon about it rather than do something risky.
In the past, most surgeons have typically recommended the use of prophylactic antibiotics before dental procedures. The reason has been that with dental work, there is often bacteria in the bloodstream for a short while afterwards that (at least theoretically) may lead to infection of the joint replacement. This concept is not limited to prophylaxis after joint replacement surgeries; many cardiologists also recommend antibiotics for patients with heart valve problems for the same reason.
In reality, there are bacteria in the bloodstream on many occasions (such as after brushing your teeth), and the risk of infection of an artificial joint is very low.
There are however some situations in which antibiotics are recommended. The American Dental Association (ADA) and the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons (AAOS) have jointly met and issued some guidelines regarding when antibiotics should and should not be used before dental work. Because this information also applies to knee replacements, there is an appendix with these guidelines at the back of this book.
Most patients want to have some idea of how long they can expect their knee replacement to last. This is highly variable, however, and there are many factors that contribute to the longevity of the implants used. A good analogy is that of a new car; when two different owners drive a brand new car of identical make and model off the lot, there may be a wide difference in how many years each is able to use the car based on mileage and how they drive.
Impact activities (running, basketball, and other jumping sports) will increase the likelihood of loosening for a knee replacement over time. The repetitive impacts can lead to slow but progressive loosening of the components from the bone.
Patient weight has a significant influence over how long the replacements will last. Heavier patients place a larger load on the implants, but conversely, they often are less active (e.g., take fewer steps in a year).
The type of bearing material used factors into longevity. There is some evidence that hybrid materials (e.g., zirconium oxide on polyethylene rather than traditional cobalt chrome on polyethylene) will last longer, and these more expensive implants are typically employed for younger and more active patients. At this point, however, with most revision surgeries performed in recent years we are typically seeing the surrounding bone wear out (e.g., loosening) before the implants themselves wear out.
If a part of the knee replacement does wear out, it often may be only the polyethylene liner that is worn while the metal components (fixed to the bone) are still good. In this case, most implant designs allow for a relatively quick procedure in which just the liner is exchanged.
Factors unrelated to the implants may shorten their lifespan, such as infection or trauma. I have treated patients who fell or were involved in motor vehicle accidents who fractured the bone around the implant, necessitating wiring or revision. In general, it usually takes the same amount of energy required to break a bone to damage the replacement, however.
Younger patients wear out their replacements more quickly than older patients. For this reason, many surgeons in the 1980's and 1990's recommended waiting as long as possible before replacing joints in young patients. While we still wait until all conservative (nonoperative) treatments are exhausted, we now recognize that the implants and technology have evolved to the point that even young patients can expect years of use before requiring revision surgery, and partial and total knee replacement can now give severely impaired patients their mobility and life back.

I'm starting to wonder if this is becoming a hate triangle now.
Actually, a hate quadrangle. Outside people hate us, producers hate us a bit I guess (or something), Hasbro acts as if it were bringing down the fandom, and we're stuck in the middle. And then we hate the haters, we fly at Hasbro, and we get mad from the controversies.
And then Hasbro is controlling the production of the show like a puppeteer, keeping the outside people from the fandom (mostly haters) in check to make sure they're not trying to boycott they're products or something like that, and they're trying to keep all of that controversy in check.
AND THEN, the outside people are hating on Hasbro, the producers, and the fandom.
AND THEN the producers are in a stage of uncertainty or something, and they hate Hasbro and stuff.
REB DoMiNe would love that theory

*Sitting down on my bed, my head held in my hands, dreading this moment but knowing that I need to feed. Looking at the door to the room and clenching my fists as I await Layla's arrival. Growling low and wondering how I can deal with what happened between Layla_and Qhuinn, shaking my head and thinking to myself that I'm fooling myself, what happened between them is going to haunt me. Trying to relax but finding it futile, I reach up and drag my hand through my hair, wincing as a timid knock sounds at the door. Getting up I move to the door, my movements jerky and uncoordinated as I fight the battle within myself. Not wanting to see Layla but knowing that I must and it will be better if we get this meeting over with, sooner rather than later. Thinking briefly on Qhuinn and feeling grateful that he isn't here for this meeting which is guaranteed to be awkward at the very least. Reaching out for the door handle and opening the door wide, I know my expression is as cold as it gets but what I see stops me in my tracks, Layla stands there, looking down guiltily and I have to look away from her, I need to be able to keep my anger but looking at her takes that anger away and leaves despondence in its place. Speaking in a rough, gravelly voice* Come in Layla.
*Glancing up as I hear the door open, my face flushing guiltily as I see your expression, knowing in my heart that the actions of myself and Qhuinn must have hurt you greatly. Walking into the room and looking around curiously at my surroundings, the room so different to the room you share with Qhuinn. My hands moving to smooth over my robe nervously as I hear you shut the door softly behind me. Turning back to face you I am surprised at the expression on your face, I expected to find anger at the very least but no, you are staring at the floor with an expression I can only call 'pensive'. Reaching up with a very unsteady hand to check my chignon is in place, the awkward silence around us seeming to drag on endlessly, with each and every second that drags on my urge to break the silence between us grows. Finding that the awkwardness between us has stolen my ability to speak above a whisper* Verily Blaylock, you requested my presence herein.
*Looking up as I hear your softly spoken words, my hand dragging through my red hair as I look at you* You know why I called Layla, I need to feed. *Looks away from you as my jaw clenches* But after…. *Growls and drops that topic quickly as I feel my anger beginning to rise again* I don't think I can do this, not with you. *Looking up as I see you react as if I have slapped you* What? *Watching as you straighten before me, holding your hand out as if to stop whatever else I have to say. Folding my arms I close my mouth and wait to hear what you have to say for your self.*
*Holding my hand up and looking at you in vexation* Verily Blaylock you try my patience. *Blushing brightly with my embarrassment* What happened… What happened between Qhuinn and I was an aberration. *Wringing my hands together as I make myself meet your incredulous gaze and taking a deep breath, scenting Qhuinn's bonding scent all over you* Blaylock the fact that I can scent Qhuinn's bonding scent on you tells me much. Verily Qhuinn does not feel that way for me and I do not feel for him the depth of emotion and love as you do. *Seeing your eyes show the pain of the betrayal dealt to you by myself and Qhuinn I reach out and place my hand on your arm* Verily Blaylock you know I have a great affection for both you and Qhuinn, I would not voluntarily cause either of you harm. *Sighing softly I drop my hand and walk slowly to sit on the edge of the bed, looking up at you* Blaylock, I will not lie, I feel the pull to Qhuinn as he does to me but we do not love each other. *Shrugs gracefully as I look up at you* I do not presume to understand the Scribe Virgin's intent with this.
*Frowning as you speak and feeling myself nodding as you say you wouldn't voluntarily hurt either Qhuinn or myself. Letting out a breath and moving to sit beside you on the bed. Narrowing my eyes as I try to think of a way out of this mess but quickly realising that there is no way. Letting out a sigh I look over at you, sitting beside me as if you have nowhere you would rather be, so at peace and looking as if you don't plan to move until we have this resolved.* How can you always be so calm Layla? I wouldn't have thought you would want to be here with me. *Frowning hard as I glance down at my hands*
*Smiling softly at you as you sit beside me and reaching out to place my hand gently on your wrist* I am at peace when I am here with you and Qhuinn. You… *Sighs softly as a sliver of discontent fills my heart* The brothers send me away as quickly as they are able so as not to upset their shellans but you.. you and Qhuinn you do not or *sighing and unconsciously tightening my hand at your wrist* or should I say did not do that. *Shaking my head gently and feeling a strand of hair from my chignon fall over my face* Verily Blaylock, I do not wish to see the same expressions on yours and Qhuinn's faces.
*Frowning in thought as I realise what you mean about the expressions on the brothers faces, or maybe more pertinently the expressions that the shellans wear whenever you are near. Turning my wrist over beneath your hand and holding your hand in mine, squeezing gently.* I will try not to react like that Layla but honestly that's the best I've got right now. *Biting down on my lip as I look at you, glad the anger that I had felt has lessened. Becoming distracted I find my gaze trailing down to your hand in mine, my gaze finding the blue vein just beneath the surface of your skin. Feeling my fangs elongate and cursing under my breath, knowing I am overdue for this feeding*
*Watching as your eyes drop to my vein and feeling a small smile cross my face, glad that it seems we will be able to get you fed. Reaching down I pull the sleeve of my robe back further, being careful in my movements so as not to scare you away as I know you desperately need to feed. Turning my hand slightly in yours, making the blue veins more apparent to your hungry gaze, murmuring softly* Verily Blaylock, you should feed, you are obviously in need *Watching your gaze jerk back up to meet mine and seeing all the confusion, pain and fear lurking there*
*Jerking my gaze forcibly back to yours, consternation running through me at the amount of force it took, which shows just how much I need to feed. Clearing my throat* Layla.. I don't think I can be gentle *Turning to look around the room, anywhere than looking at you* after… I don't think I can be gentle. *Holding your hand tighter, far more tightly than I should*
'Tis well Blaylock. Feed. *Lifting our joined hands, knowing the scent of my blood just beneath my skin must be calling to you. Watching you fighting yourself, what must surely be a losing battle, one part of you desperately needing to feed, the other hating that need with a vengeance and wanting no part of feeding from me*
*Looking back down at your vein with a low growl, holding myself back for a few split seconds before losing the battle. Raising your wrist to my mouth and sinking my elongated fangs into your vein. Shutting my eyes and trying to think of anything, anything to distract myself from what I am being forced to once again do with you. Drinking with deep draws at your vein, my hands both gripping your wrist tightly as I hear a soft sound of relief leave you*
*Feeling you gently sink your fangs into my vein, I smile softly, even with your words of warning I knew you would never be anything but gentle. Reaching out with my other hand I gently stroke my hand over your red hair, relaxing as I feel you drinking that which nourishes you. Feeling you gathering your will as if to pull away from me, I keep my hand on your head, keeping you pressed against my vein* Blaylock, you are in need, do not stop yet.
*Fighting an instinctual need to pull back from your vein I look up at you, my anguish showing plainly in my eyes. Seeing your determination to see me fed and fed well, I try to relax against you, the gnawing hunger not assuaged in the slightest*
*Watching as you struggle to keep feeding from my vein, I feel something change inside of myself, keeping my horror and worry hopefully well hidden from you as I feel the first spear of heat rush through me. Thinking briefly to myself that please let me be wrong, my needing can't be coming now, especially not with you beside me. Trying to hide what I am feeling from you I take a deep breath, remaining as still as I can beside you*
*Drinking deeply from your vein, I feel you become unnaturally still beside me, flicking my gaze up to meet yours and seeing that you are clearly struggling with some discomfort. Pulling back from your vein and quickly sealing the wounds before moving my hands to grip your arms gently* Layla? What is it? Did I take too much? Talk to me Layla?
*My mind focused solely on the heat building at the apex of my thighs, it takes me a moment to realise you've pulled back from my vein and spoken to me. Letting out a slow breath as I try to talk in a somewhat normal voice* Verily Blaylock, all will be well, I just need to depart to the other side as soon as I am able. *The gasp of pain that escapes me I can't hold back and gives lie to my words. Falling back on the bed and writhing as a pulse of heat comes from me. No longer able to keep from you what is happening, I look up at you fearful as to your reaction but I must ask anyway* Blaylock, please, you must help me.
*Feeling the blast of heat come out of you, it hits me full force and I groan in shock as my cock hardens to the point of pain. Looking at you as the realisation of what is happening to you hits me* Fuck. Fuck.. Fuck… *Knowing you need my help but also knowing there is no way I can help you personally, my thoughts trailing to the only person who can help you. There is only one option but fuck I don't want to think that way. Looking at you in horror as I force myself to think, everyone else is mated, there is only one option but he is mine. Lowering my head and wondering if I can do this, can I take you to Qhuinn? Dragging my shaking hand through my hair and looking at you laid out on the bed in obvious pain, I can't leave you this way, that much I do know. Standing up beside you I lean down and scoop you up into my arms, holding you tighter as a fresh, stronger wave of heat courses from you, surging outwards and making me groan as it strikes me. Growling under my breath I wait till the pulse subsides then quickly stalk from the room, my stride eating up the distance to Qhuinn in our room. Looking down at you resolutely as I pause at the door* Get the door Layla.
*Gasping softly and holding onto your shoulders as you pick me up in your arms, hoping you are taking me to the help I so desperately need. Feeling the heat already beginning to build inside myself again, I try to remain still in your arms but the heat overwhelms me and I writhe against you. Hearing you groan and feeling you lean back against the wall, your breath coming in gasps as a groan is wrenched from me. The heat slowly receding again I look up at you, only now becoming aware of our location and that my robe is falling open from all of my writhing, looking up at you in disbelief as you speak, I catch my breath before replying* Blaylock, verily I do not wish to hurt you, you are a male of worth but *sighs* This will hurt you Blaylock.
*Growing impatient with you as I look down at you* Layla, now isn't the time to argue about this, just get the door before I change my mind, or drop you when you start writhing again. *Looking at you and letting you see the resolution in my eyes. Keeping my eyes locked on yours as I feel you move to reach out to take the doorknob in your hand, opening the door. Feeling a spear of pain going through me at the thought of what will happen between you and Qhuinn, the pain slamming into me forcefully as I stride into the room and into DM's*

SOUTH BEND, Ind. (AP) — A story that Notre Dame Heisman finalist Manti Te'o's (MAN'-ty TAY'-owz) girlfriend had died of leukemia turned out to be a hoax apparently perpetrated against the linebacker. Calling it incredibly embarrassing to talk about, T'eo said in a statement Wednesday that he developed an emotional relationship with a woman he'd met online and maintained that relationship through computers and phones. He said it's painful and humiliating to realize he was the victim of what was apparently someone's sick joke and constant lies.
OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — Russell Westbrook poured in 32 points and the Oklahoma City Thunder halted the Nuggets' six-game winning streak by whipping Denver 117-97. Kevin Martin and Kevin Durant each had 20 points for the Thunder, who built a 16-point lead in the first quarter and led wire-to-wire for the second time this season. Oklahoma City improved to a league-best 31-8 and moved one game ahead of the Los Angeles Clippers.
SAN ANTONIO (AP) — The San Antonio Spurs remain two games behind Oklahoma City after Tony Parker's 17 points and 11 assists led a 103-82 rout of Memphis. Tim Duncan added 19 points for the Spurs, who shot 58 percent and extended their home winning streak to 13 games.
OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) — LeBron James contributed 25 points, 10 assists and seven rebounds in just 30 minutes as Miami blasted Golden State 92-75. Dwyane (dwayn) Wade had 15 points, six assists, eight rebounds and five steals for the Heat, who led by 30 heading into the fourth quarter. The Heat lead the Eastern Conference by one game over the New York Knicks.
MELBOURNE, Australia (AP) — Defending champ Victoria Azarenka (az-ah-REHN'-kah) has cruised into the third round of the Australian Open, needing just 55 minutes to post a 6-1, 6-love victory. The top-ranked Azarenka stayed on track for a semifinal meeting with Serena Williams, who was a 6-2, 6-love winner in second-round action. Williams has dropped just two games in her two matches.

Orot Ha-Teshuva
Uploaded: Thursday, September 04, 2008
By: Rav Ronen Neuwirth
This week, on ג' אלול, we have commemorated the Yahrzeit of Rav A.I. Kook, the first Ashkenazi Chief Rabbi of Israel and one of the first and the most significant founders of the Religious Zionist Movement. One of Rav Kook's most important writings is Orot Ha-Teshuva – The Light of Repentance. This composition of Rav Kook is innovative in the sense of his unique and profound definition of the concept of תשובה .
"Great is Teshuvah, that it preceded the creation of the world." (Midrash T'hillim 90:12). We tend to comprehend Teshuva as repentance, as a tool to correct all of our misdeeds, errors and sins. However, if that were the case, in an ideal world, there is no room for the concept of the תשובה since there would not be any sins. If so, why is it that Teshuva preceded the creation of the world according to our sages? Why was there a need for Teshuva prior to the actual existence of sin?
According to Rav Kook, Teshuva is not merely a means to overcome the effects of sin. "Teshuvah preceded the world, therefore it is the foundation of the world…" (Orot haTeshuvah 5:6a) When the World was created, in The Beginning, it was created in an eternal form, by an eternal force – Hashem. By definition, however, a physical world is a limited world, a world that is bounded in a finite number of dimensions. This gap between the creator and the limited reality caused an inherent deterioration in this World. This deterioration is not related to any sin but rather related to the definition of a "physical" World.
From this very first moment of deterioration, a new force started developing – the power of Teshuva. In that sense, Teshuva is the inertial force that makes the World go around. It's the force that always moves us forward, and makes us strive, desire and aspire. Because we were once in an eternal position, subconsciously we still strive to restore this previous status and overcome our mortality. Therefore, we always need to be progressing.
Teshuva is all about progress, always. Obviously, one who had sinned must, first of all, restore his/her former level of spirituality, and in that case, Teshuva is indeed repentance. Even, however, one who hypothetically never committed any kind of sin, still needs to do Teshuva, needs to progress. Without being constantly in movement, we deteriorating, by nature. Teshuva is about development, progress and continuous improvement.
This is the goal of the holy month of Elul. We need to desire, to strive to retrieve our passion for קדושה (holiness). Encouraging and motivating our willingness to be in never-ending spiritual progress, is the first and most essential element in Teshuva. Rav Kook explains that our desires are also the sources of our abilities. The stronger our desire for something, the more energy we will find in ourselves in order to achieve that thing, and in the words of Rav Kook: "גבורת הרצון מחוללת את היכולת" – "The power of the will generates the ability" (Orot Hakodesh). The more we believe – the more we can achieve.
In Chodesh Elul, we have to clean the dust from our spiritual aspirations. We need to return to a route of progress. This will surely endow us, later on, with the ability to improve our actions.
This innovative concept of Teshuva is also reflected in the Psalm of Elul (Psalm 27)– "לדוד ה' אורי וישעי". "אחת שאלתי מאת ה' אותה אבקש"". "One thing have I asked of Hashem, that will I seek after". Rab Simcha Bonim of Pshischa explains the redundant words in the verse as follows: My only wish is to have the desire to seek Hashem. When I will internalize this desire, nothing can stop me on the way to the Eternity – "שבתי בבית ה' כל ימי חיי" – "that I may dwell in the house of Hashem all the days of my life".
In the upcoming Days of Awe, we will, hopefully, have the ability to achieve the spiritual experience of dwelling in the House of Hashem. Meanwhile, in order to get there, we need to practice for a month. We need to activate our dormant desires for Hashem – "I am my beloved's, and my beloved is mine" - "אני לדוד ודודי לי" -

Canton head football coach Gary Kinne remained in the hospital Friday night in critical condition after being shot, allegedly by the father of one of his athletes.
A longtime friend of his told KLTV Coach Kinne came through the first surgery Thursday with no complications, and more surgery is scheduled for this weekend.
Today in Canton, friends, neighbors, and total strangers got together to help Coach Kinne any way they could. A Stewart Blood Center van collected more than a hundred units of blood for Coach Kinne Friday, making it one the blood center's best drives ever.
In fact, the blood drive was so successful, it's spawned a sequel. There will be another drive coming up on Monday, April 11th, at the First Monday Log Cabin from three to eight in the afternoon.
In a great display of sportsmanship, district rival Lindale's PTA will also have a drive coming up later on this month for Coach Kinne.

NOTE: This posting is a very small part of one section of a new whitepaper coming out on claims and SharePoint 2010. Look the whitepaper later this year or early next year.
SharePoint 2010 provides the ability to retrieve list data through a REST interface. In this example I'll reuse the code to get the FedAuth cookie that was included with this post: http://blogs.technet.com/b/speschka/archive/2010/06/04/using-the-client-object-model-with-a-claims-based-auth-site-in-sharepoint-2010.aspx. Once I have the FedAuth cookie I'll reuse it to make a call to retrieve list data via REST. The call will be slightly different because we'll need to do HTTP GETs directly against the listdata service in SharePoint. The listdata service is available within any site by navigating to the _vti_bin directory. For example, if you have a site at https://claims, then to get all of the items in the Contacts list in that site you could make a request to https://claims/_vti_bin/listdata.svc/Contacts. The data is returned as Xml, which you can then process as needed for your application.
Here's an example of code that reuses the method to obtain a FedAuth ticket, and then retrieves a list of all the items in the Contacts list:
private void GetRestDataBtn_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
//this is the REST endpoint I want to use to get all Contacts
string endpoint = "https://fc1/_vti_bin/listdata.svc/Contacts";
//get the FedAuth cookie
string FedAuth = GetSamlToken();
//make a request to the REST interface for the data
HttpWebRequest webRqst = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create(endpoint);
webRqst.UseDefaultCredentials = true;
webRqst.Method = "GET";
webRqst.Accept = "*/*";
webRqst.KeepAlive = true;
//create the FedAuth cookie that will go with our request
CookieContainer cc = new CookieContainer();
Cookie samlAuth = new Cookie("FedAuth", FedAuth);
samlAuth.Expires = DateTime.Now.AddHours(1);
samlAuth.Path = "/";
samlAuth.Secure = true;
samlAuth.HttpOnly = true;
Uri samlUri = new Uri(SamlTxt.Text);
samlAuth.Domain = samlUri.Host;
//plug our cookie into the request
webRqst.CookieContainer = cc;
//read the response now
HttpWebResponse webResp = webRqst.GetResponse() as HttpWebResponse;
//make the request and get the response
StreamReader theData = new StreamReader(webResp.GetResponseStream(), true);
string payload = theData.ReadToEnd();
//create the Xml classes for working with the results
//xml doc, loaded with the results
XmlDocument xDoc = new XmlDocument();
//namespace manager, used for querying
XmlNamespaceManager ns = new XmlNamespaceManager(xDoc.NameTable);
//query for items
XmlNodeList nl = xDoc.SelectNodes("/b:feed/b:entry/b:content/m:properties", ns);
//create a list to hold the results
List<Contact> Contacts = new List<Contact>();
//enumerate the results
foreach (XmlNode xNode in nl)
Contacts.Add(new Contact(
xNode.SelectSingleNode("d:FirstName", ns).InnerText,
xNode.SelectSingleNode("d:LastName", ns).InnerText,
xNode.SelectSingleNode("d:Company", ns).InnerText,
xNode.SelectSingleNode("d:JobTitle", ns).InnerText,
xNode.SelectSingleNode("d:EMailAddress", ns).InnerText));
//bind to the DataGridView on my form
ContactGrd.DataSource = Contacts;
catch (Exception ex)
//your error handling here
public class Contact
public string FirstName { get; set; }
public string LastName { get; set; }
public string Company { get; set; }
public string JobTitle { get; set; }
public string Email { get; set; }
public Contact(string First, string Last, string Company, string Title, string Email)
this.FirstName = First;
this.LastName = Last;
this.Company = Company;
this.JobTitle = Title;
this.Email = Email;
Stepping through the code, you can see that it starts out by getting the FedAuth cookie from SharePoint as demonstrated in the previous post I linked to above. Once the cookie is obtained, a new HttpWebRequest is made that will be used to call the REST interface in SharePoint to retrieve all items in the Contacts list. A new cookie is created where the FedAuth cookie that was retrieved can be placed; this is what allows SharePoint to view our request as being authenticated. Once the cookie has been added, the request is made to the REST interface in SharePoint to retrieve the data and the results are put into the string variable payload.
If you are experiencing an error like "The HTTP request is unauthorized with client authentication scheme 'Negotiate'. The authentication header received from the server was 'Negotiate oW0wa6ADCgEBomQEYmBgBgkqhkiG9xIBAgIDAH5RME+gAwIBBaEDAgEepBEYDzIwMTEwODA1MjA1MTMzWqUFAgMDdRemAwIBKakPGw1DT05UT1NPLkxPQ0FMqhMwEaADAgEBoQowCBsGcG9ydGFs'.", then see the update in posting http://blogs.technet.com/b/speschka/archive/2010/06/04/using-the-client-object-model-with-a-claims-based-auth-site-in-sharepoint-2010.aspx for details on how to work through that.
Hi Steve,
Thanks for this post. Is it necessary to use this method when in a Claims-based authentication enabled site? Can't you just use a normal Web Reference and it's context?
I'm asking because I've been getting errors with my silverlight web part (which uses listdata.svc) in a claims-based authentication enabled site.
do you have a link to the GetSamlToken() method you're using? Can this method be modified to look into AD instead of a custom or Adfs provider?
I want to do this to connect to a site in a web app which is in claims mode (Active Directory only) and FBA (Ldaps). I don't know how to get the cookie. If I copy the cookie using Fiddler (and IE) and set it in the GET call it works.
Do we need to add servcice reference to use this service, the way you have described?
this is brutal man! :) it saved me a lot of investigation, thanx.
Nice Post !!. Is there any way to get this working using Jquery.ajax() ?
Although this article is very old, I hope you still get a notification for this. I got the problem that a site with mixed authentication windows + fba in sharepoint 2013 claims doesn't allow for specific credentials to be handed over. If I use DefaultCredentials
everything is fine, if not, 401 Unauthorized is returned. Thanks for your help
This seems to be serving my requirements. Thanks to you!However when I copied the code into my windows application in VS 2012, I found VS could not able to locate GetSamlToken() method, I searched in google too but no luck.Could you please help me which namespace I forgot to include in my project.Thanks in Advance.
I'm not sure what is SamlTxt.Text in the code. Could you please explain?

He's to be sentenced on Tuesday in Macomb County Circuit Court.As part of the agreement, he's expected to be sentenced to probation and ordered to repay about $13,000 to six former customers.

SPECIAL OFFER: - Limited Time Only!

Go to the matte: Does your makeup disappear by lunch only to be replaced by an oil slick on your nose? "In the summer, skin feels greasier, and we sweat more," says Heidi Waldorf, MD, a dermatologist in New York City. "Extra humidity in the air means that evaporation is slower, so shine just sits on your skin." To help lick the slick, Dr. Waldorf recommends applying a lightweight SPF moisturizer and topping it with a mattifier, which can help control oil for hours. We like Philosophy Total Matteness Pore Eraser ($40, philosophy.com), which is filled with shine-sopping bamboo extract.
Think prime time: Next, put on a primer to help makeup last longer. Choose one that's free of silicone, an ingredient that can turn greasy in the heat. Try Becca Ever-Matte Poreless Priming Perfector ($36, sephora.com).
Last the distance: Give your foundation a vacay and opt for a BB cream. "The last thing you want is a face full of makeup on a sweltering day," says Raychel Wade, a makeup artist in New York City. Our pick: Garnier BB Cream Skin Renew Miracle Skin Perfector for Combination to Oily Skin ($13, drugstores), which provides light coverage, oil-zapping ingredients, and SPF 20. Wade says to mist on a setting spray to lock in your look. A good one is Mary Kay Makeup Finishing Spray ($18, marykay.com).
Touch up lightly: If you find yourself in meltdown mode, resist the urge to pile on more products. "If you add more makeup, it can get cakey and discolored," Wade says. Instead, after using an oil-blotting sheet (or a tissue), reach for a thick stick concealer, like Maybelline New York Cover Stick Concealer ($6, drugstores). "You can apply it just where it's really needed, then spread it around," Wade says. "Use your fingers to dot the concealer around your nose and T-zone." Finish with a dusting of translucent powder.
Take it all off: Wash away the day's makeup, sweat, and grease with an oil-control cleanser, such as Olay Fresh Effects Shine, Shine Go Away! Shine Minimizing Cleanser ($8, drugstores) or Clarisonic Deep Pore Detoxifying Solution ($169, sephora.com), which includes a pore-clearing cleanser, a mask, and a brush that uses a sonic frequency to remove grime.
Zap zits: Dr. Waldorf's one-two punch for minimizing a pimple: Apply a 1 percent hydrocortisone cream to reduce inflammation, then top it with an acne spot treatment containing salicylic acid, benzoyl peroxide, resorcinol, and/or sulfur to dry it out. Try Neutrogena On-the-Spot Acne Treatment ($5, drugstores), which has 2.5 percent benzoyl peroxide.

How would the U.S. government be spending money if it wasn't fighting the Iraq War? Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., raised the question during Monday's Democratic presidential debate in Myrtle Beach, S.C.
"We are spending $9 billion to $10 billion every month," Obama said. "That's money that could be going right here in South Carolina to lay broadband lines in rural communities, to put kids back to school."
Is the war keeping federal money out of local communities? And if so, is the cost worth it?
By Joel Mathis
The fog of war obscures many things, including its own price tag. No one knows exactly how much the United States has spent in Iraq, but one estimate places the number at nearly $500 billion.
That money, as Obama said, could have been spent on building broadband lines or improving schools. In fact, there have been suggestions the feds could spark the country's sagging economy by giving money to states to spend on infrastructure projects. Right now, though, that money is being spent in the Middle East.
If this seems crass to mention during wartime, remember: Iraq was a war of choice. Citizens of a democracy should weigh the costs — in blood and treasure — of such choices.
Instead, a presidential adviser was fired in 2002 for suggesting that the tab for Iraq might hit $200 billion. If only. And as the costs have mounted, so has the national debt. Your children will someday be paying the bills for our Mesopotamian misadventure.
If we'd at least spent that money at home, we might have something to show for it. Instead, the costs of war have bought us only more war. The fog thickens. It always does.
By Ben Boychuk
If the war is preventing the federal government from spending tax dollars in local communities, it isn't at all evident in the $516 billion omnibus appropriations bill Congress sent to President Bush last month. Austerity is a tough line to take when legislators see fit to insert 11,000 earmarks topping $14.1 billion, according to Citizens Against Government Waste.
But there is an even more fundamental problem with Obama's claim. Saying the money spent on the war would be money better spent on local infrastructure is a fallacy. It's wrong. The federal government should not be in the business of building streets, schools, hospitals or telecommunications networks. That's what state and local governments are for. That's what private companies and charities do.
The fact that local and state governments, as well as charities and private firms, go to the federal government, hat in hand, for community-development grants, transportation funds, school subsidies, health-care reimbursements and the like is not an indictment of the war. It's an indictment of a bloated government with bad priorities.
You don't have to be a Ron Paul fan to believe that federal priorities should fall within the scope of the Constitution. Common defense? Constitutional. Filling potholes along Main Street? Beyond the scope.
Why not just eliminate the middleman, let that money stay at the state and local level, and fight the war?

4 Responses to "Where, but where, to spend?"
Boychuck is right. Other than interstate highways, dams and such structures as the bridge over the mississippi river. the state should collect the taxes to maintain their own nececessities. For example, the levees and dikes in New Orleans should be the responsibility of the state of Louisiana and the businesses that need them to operate there.
Also, high risk states such as Florida should have their own emergency programs in place for hurricane disasters and require all insurance companies who wish to do business in their state to write hurricane and flood insurance. FEMA would not be necessary because the fed could always declare a disaster area to provide additional assistance if needed.
There was a time when business contributed to the building of infrastructure of this country and states paid their own way.
But that was before Reagan changed the tax system.
Bush's boys at transportation have just announced that they will not be helping to fund the Feds share of a coordinated effort with the state of VA to build a long awaited section of the Metro that extends to the heavily used Dullas airport. VA officials and everyone involved didn't see this coming and were taken by surprise. Bush may have turned another purple state blue. Billions for Iraq infrastructure and squat for the US. Now there is a platform I would like to see the GOP run on.
That 9 to 10 billion dollar figure is actually borrowed money. If we weren't in Iraq those funds wouldn't be part of any appropriations bill or the annual Federal budget. Unless of course Bush invented some other cockamamie boondoggle to fund!

Q: How would you describe campus life at Carleton?A: Everything ebbs and flows at Carleton. Work, exams, weekend activities: sometimes they all come at once, and sometimes things are more quiet around here. But regardless of how much work you have or how full your social calendar is, life at Carleton is always driven by individual interests and passions.
Q: What would surprise your high school friends about you now?A: I've had friends visit me at Carleton and they were definitely surprised at how many people I know on campus. Compared to a large school there are obviously less students at Carleton, yet I feel like you end up meeting more people because of all the myriad interests pursued and the residential college environment.
Q: Have you done any volunteering at Carleton?A: Through the ACT center I teach science and ecological conservation lessons to third graders with a program called Kids for Conservation (KFC). It's great to get off campus for an hour a week, interact with a lot of kids, and learn a lot about science and conservation in the process.
Q: Any advice for high school students on their college search?A: Apply early, and often. Make sure that you visit the schools you're considering. Try to get a sense of how the campus feels and ask yourself if you could grow and learn in that environment. And make sure you enjoy your senior year of high school along the way.
Q: What's been your most interesting assignment?A: I designed and conducted an economics experiment this fall using real money and student test subjects to explore charity donation strategies, with the goal of maximizing donations.
Q: What are your interests & hobbies?A: Last summer I learned how to keep bees; I'd like to get better at that. I also like to grow a vegetable garden each summer.
Q: Which Carleton classes have been your favorites? Why?A: My two favorite classes at Carleton have been Environmental Chemistry and Symphonies from Mozart to Mahler. I loved learning intro chem through an environmental lens and designing a final research project.

Burton Hall is both a student residence hall and the location of Burton Dining Hall, one of two dining facilities on the Carleton campus. It has four floors, including the floor traditionally known as the loudest on campus owing to the foot traffic it receives: First Burton. It is part of the "complex" that links it to Davis Hall, Sevy Hall and Sayles-Hill without having to walk outside.

Oh, I was full of myself back then when the mighty Cowboys traveled to soggy Municipal Stadium to play the Cleveland Browns in the Eastern Conference Playoff Game. A victory was a forgone conclusion as this was against the same Browns team they annihilated in their first franchise playoff win a year before, 52-14; and the same Browns which were heartlessly battered earlier in this season, 28-7. Yes the game was on the road, but this team won every road game in 1968. So omnipotent was this sovereign, the entire league was their sphere; no matter where they played, they were home. There was only one unanswered question remaining. Would it be the Vikings or the Colts (squaring off in the Western Conference Game) who would be pillaged in the NFL Championship Game?
A team did get ransacked on that cold, wet December day in archaic Municipal Stadium in the Eastern Conference Championship Game. But it was the pillagers who were plundered. The Dallas Cowboys were outsmarted, out coached and out hustled for nearly the entire 60 minutes of that football game. The Browns defense battered Don Meredith rendering him completely ineffective forcing Landry to bench him after his third interception of the first half in favor of young backup Craig Morton. Morton faired [sic] no better as the Browns were the hungrier, meaner and better team on that day. Final score: Browns 31 Cowboys 20…and the score was much closer than the actual beating the Cowboys took on the field.
The losses to the Packers the previous two years were palatable because this young franchise exceeded all expectation and nearly toppled a giant. They played like champions, never giving in to their mighty foe…but ultimately only to the relentlessness of time and destiny.
The loss to the Browns was simply abysmal and began a media onslaught against this franchise that would haunt them for two more seasons and even beyond. "Next Years Champions", I despised that name. But sorrowfully, the title was earned.
The Cowboys did play one more game that year. They beat the Vikings in the humiliating Playoff Bowl. This was a game played by the losers of the Conference Championship games and carried less importance than a pillow fight between my brother and me on a day off from school. To further place it in a proper context, it far surpassed today's Pro Bowl in its overwhelming magnitude of insignificance if you can believe that. I am convinced the NFL only scheduled this game to further punish the losers, as if having an entire season of blood and sweat being derailed was not enough.
This can't miss king to be, unambiguous inheritor of the throne only a week and a day before…was now the court jester, relegated to the under card to play out a comedy with the other foolish clown in front of an audience of knaves and peasants. Oh, how swiftly the cruel winds of fate can waft the unprepared off the pedestal of impending sovereignty. The question entering the 1969 season was: can this franchise recover from that devastating rout and realize that elusive status they seemed destined to achieve in 1968?

TEAMS: New York Yankees, Baltimore Orioles
Two Maryland state troopers sure picked a bizarre time to ask New York Yankees star Derek Jeter for his autograph — while the shortstop was in the dugout during Sunday's playoff game against the Baltimore Orioles.
In the top of the ninth inning of the Yankees 7-2 win in Game 1 of the American League Division Series against the Orioles at Camden Yards, the troopers asked Jeter and teammate Nick Swisher for autographs in the dugout, according to The New York Post.
"Swish was livid," said a spokesperson who witnessed the Super Troopers' request.
Asked if that ever happened before, Jeter said, "What do you think?"
Law enforcement officials are in the dugouts to serve as deterrents to abusive and annoying fans, but after Sunday's night's pesky behavior don't count on seeing those two cops anywhere near the dugout for Game 2.
Maybe Rabbit and Farva are available.

If you are into the commerce, retail, marketing, selling or distributing businesses, you have daily deliveries that require fast action. Similarly, maintaining an office or franchise requires you to send some documents and important items to different locations in and out of the country.
Many companies today are opting to have their in-house delivery team, which essentially entails them to invest in trucks and employees. Huge corporations are able to afford these, but if you are yet taking the first big steps to business stardom, you may not have enough resources yet for these types of huge investments. In this regard, partnering with a courier service provider proposes to be a great option.
Ponder on these points you may need to know when contracting a third-party delivery service for your daily operations:
You can rely on, or demand, speed and reliability.
As a valued client, you can expect your delivery company to provide you with no less than their best service, or risk losing you to their competition. As estimated completion of the delivery will be relayed to you, you will not be at a loss when updating your recipient. In addition, many shipping firms are now equipped with advanced online tools that allow for customers to see real-time status of their goods, especially for interstate or out-of-country shipments. You can take advantage of this for tracking purposes. Read the rest of this entry »

If you are having a face lift that includes a brow lift, your eyebrows would be raised. If you are considering a brow lift, you may want to consider waiting to do the tattoo .

A face lift will not affect your brow height. Only a brow lift would raise them.
