Skip to comments.( Ted ) Turner 'almost done' buying up ranchland
Posted on 02/07/2008 11:36:02 AM PST by george76
CNN founder Ted Turner, the largest private landowner in Nebraska and the United States and the nation's largest bison rancher, said Wednesday that he is about done buying new ranches.
He said he would like to reach 2 million acres nationwide before he dies about 40,000 acres more than he currently owns.
"I'm almost done. I've got enough," said Turner...
The 69-year-old billionaire, philanthropist and conservationist said he isn't interested in free-standing ranches anymore, only "reasonably priced" parcels adjacent to his current operations, which include five ranches in Nebraska near Gordon, Oshkosh and Mullen. The ranches cover 425,221 acres, an area larger than Douglas and Sarpy Counties combined.
"You know what 2 million acres is?" Turner asked over a plate of bison miniburgers and transfat-free onion rings. "If my land was all connected, in one long straight line, a mile deep, it would stretch from New York to San Francisco."
Then he joked: "I've been thinking about doing some swaps. I'd be able to cut the United States in half and charge people from going from the north to the south."
Turner answered questions on a broad range of subjects his political preferences, the profitability of bison, his shrinking fortune and conspiracy theories ...

Yeah, I think 2,000,000 acres is "about enough."
Then again, I'm content with my 1/3-acre.
Ted, you magnificent putz!
Just think how many illegal aliens you could fit onto that land.
What an ass....
I sure he is leaving it to non-Americans.
Your acreage won't do you any good when you're dead, Ted.
Land rich and spiritually poor.
Johnny Carson's boyhood home?
Maybe he can skip the buying land and get right to the dropping dead part.
Acres of land holdings of Ted Turner, as of mid-September:
New Mexico: 1,105,905
Nebraska: 425,221
Montana: 153,963
South Dakota: 141,357
Kansas: 42,479
Oklahoma: 41,689
Colorado: 34,868
Florida: 29,530
South Carolina: 10,757
Arkansas: 1,323
Georgia: 537
Beef and buffalo.
Water. One of the countries largest natural aquifers runs under Nebraska, relatively close to the surface in some areas.
Has anyone read Tolstoy's short story "How much land does a man need"?
In the end, he'll get just as much land as Pahom. 6 feet from his head to his toes.
A goodly chunk of that New Mexico acreage is next to Philmont Scout Reservation. Perhaps he could be persuaded to donate that acreage to the BSA when he's done with it.
Ted wants the Buffalo Commons to be created.
WTFIIWNM indeed.
Oh, shoot! I don't have my Capt. Obvious picture on this computer!
But it's OK for wealthy liberals to hog up resources but not for wealthy Republicans. Those are the rules.
" Turner bought Vermejo, the Forest Service bought the Baca Ranch in North Central NM..."

Turner's Land Holdings Keep Increasing
Rumor says Paraguay has the largest natural aquifer in the world and is the reason President Bush bought the ranch that sits atop it.
New Mexico: 1,105,905
Nebraska: 425,221
Montana: 153,963
South Dakota: 141,357
Kansas: 42,479
Oklahoma: 41,689
Colorado: 34,868
Florida: 29,530
South Carolina: 10,757
Arkansas: 1,323
Georgia: 537
New Jersey may have toxic waste dumps, but at least we have zero acres owned by Ted Turner.
Thank you.
Mmmm. Buffalo burgers.
Find a reefer in his car and confiscate everything!
The turkey is scary, and certifiable!
Thanks for the ping.
I wonder what this leftist's carbon footprint looks like.
Do you have any source for the *Bush owns land in Paraguay* runor? I ask because years ago, National Geographic ran a cover story on Paraguay and it turns out Ted Turner, Soros, Cher and assorted billionaire celeberties have all purchased retreats there. The reasons were that, being in the Southern Hemisphere, Paraguay would escape the fallout of a nuke in the US. Turner himself has been quoted (sorry, no link, just my recollection) as saying that his ranch in Paraguay was an escape hatch for the time when *the revolution* took place.
That's what I've read. His real interest is water rights.
I never divulge my source of rumors unless someone is pounding bamboo sticks under my fingernails, but check out this.
I've read that myself.
Not exactly the most reliable sources, although one said it was for an ecological reserve.
At least the rumor will give the ultra-left uber-rich nightmares.
"OK ... what's in Nebraska?
Sand with a little grass on it. His land is all in the Sandhills. Good ranch country.
Old Ted what a guy. He had Ruckus meeting on his property doante to save the wolves. But then make sure the wolves can't get on his property demonizes hunting then sells high dollars hunts on his ranch.
I have a ball mason jar full of dirt !
Hide it.
I heard that Turner was after yer mason jar!
Farmers and ranchers terrified by the prospect of paying something to the government instead of living on subsidies.
"I've read that myself."
The Bush's have a little 100,000 acre spread down there too.
Yup. See LucyT's post #35.
Not that I'm a jerk or anything, but I'm really looking forward to the day he drops dead.
WTF? Truly, we must cue spooky music on this one!

SAN FRANCISCO Asteroids and comets colliding with the moon not only pitted its surface but also severely fractured its crust, researchers with NASA said on Wednesday, in a finding that could help crack a Martian puzzle.
On Mars, similar fracturing would have given water on the surface a way to penetrate deep in the ground, where it may remain today, they said.
"Mars might have had an ancient ocean and we're all wondering where it went. Well, that ocean could well be underground," planetary scientist Maria Zuber, with the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, told reporters at the American Geophysical Union conference in San Francisco.
The discovery that the moon's crust is deeply fractured came from a pair of small probes that comprise NASA's Gravity Recovery and Interior Laboratory, or GRAIL, mission. The identical spacecraft have been following each other around the moon for nearly a year.
Scientists have been monitoring the distance between the two, which changes slightly as they fly over denser regions of the moon.
The gravitational pull of the additional lunar mass causes first the leading probe and then the other one to speed up, altering the gap between them.
The data, assembled into the first detailed gravity maps of the moon, reveal that asteroids and comets cratered the surface and fractured the crust, possibly all the way down to the mantle.
"If you look at the surface of the moon and how heavily cratered it is, all terrestrial planets look that way, including the Earth," said Zuber, the lead GRAIL scientist.
Evidence of the phenomenon on Earth was wiped out by tectonic plate movements, erosion and other natural events.
"If we want to study those early periods, we need to go someplace else to do it and the moon is the closest and the most accessible example," Zuber said.
For Mars, the finding that a planet's crust can be so deeply fractured has implications in the search for extraterrestrial life.
The fractures provide a pathway for water to move from inside the planet to the surface, and vice versa. Scientists believe Mars was once much warmer and wetter than the cold, dry desert it is today.
"If there ever were microbes on the surface that had to head away to a better environment, they could have gone very deep within the crust of Mars," Zuber said.
The research is published in this week's journal Science.

Robert Hecht Jr. dies at 92; controversial dealer in classical antiquitiesObituaries
When Robert E. Hecht Jr. arrived at the loading platform of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York in the fall of 1972, he was carrying a large wooden box and was escorted by an armed guard.
Inside the box was perhaps the finest Greek vase to survive antiquity, a masterpiece that would soon be making headlines around the world.
The Met had agreed to pay a record $1 million for the ancient work. Hecht said it had been in the private collection of a certain Lebanese gentleman.
But when Met director Thomas Hoving heard the story, he scoffed: "I bet he doesn't exist."
Indeed, as Hecht later revealed in his unpublished memoir, he had just bought the vase from "loyal suppliers" who had dug it up from ancient tombs outside Rome and smuggled it out of Italy....

I'm attempting to write a PHP script that will connect to the SOAP client for our SightMax interface. With the code below I am able to print out a list of functions available however when I try and call any function I am getting the the following error.
$client = new SoapClient('http://domain.com/SightMaxWebServices/SightMaxWebService.svc?wsdl', array('soap_version' => SOAP_1_2));
$result = $client->__call("GetSiteSummary", array());
echo "<pre>";
echo "</pre>";
Fatal error: Uncaught SoapFault exception: [s:Sender] The SOAP action specified on the message, '', does not match the HTTP SOAP Action, 'SmartMax.SightMax.Agent.Operator/IRemotedWebsiteAdministrator/GetSiteSummary'. in test2.php:7 Stack trace: #0 test2.php(7): SoapClient->__call('GetSiteSummary', Array) #1 {main} thrown in test2.php on line 7
I've been researching this error for the last couple days and I've read different articles stating possible issues. From what I understand this error occurs because the SOAP client is configured for wsHttpBinding and either the build in SOAP client for PHP does not support the wsHttpBinding or I need to specifically specify the SOAP action.
Can anyone shed any light on this for me? Please keep in mind while I'm versed with PHP working with SOAP is new to me so step by steps are very helpful.
Thanks in Advance.

Will Democrats Seek GOP Votes Or 'Reconciliation'?
Congress is preparing for a big fight over President Obama's ambitious budget overhaul of the nation's health care, energy, and tax policies. Many Democrats want to consider the budget under a process known as "reconciliation." It's a legislative strategy that limits debate and requires 51 Senate votes for passage, rather than the 60 that most controversial legislation requires.
The Republican minority fears being excluded, and even some Democrats say their victory could be Pyrrhic if a large minority is left out.

Routiers et mercenaires pendant la guerre de Cent ans / eds. Guilhem Pépin, Françoise Lainé, Frédéric Boutoulle
Presented as the record of a small colloquium held in 2013 to honour the contribution of Lord Jonathan Sumption to the study of the Hundred Years War, this volume consists of some 18 papers (three of which are in English) on the theme of routiers and mercenaires operating in France during the Hundred Years War.
The people of early modern England loved a good conspiracy theory. During the Elizabethan period, Catholic polemicists portrayed the regime as a conspiracy of evil counsel.
King Henry VIII's quarrel with the papacy over the annulment of his almost 24-year marriage to Catherine of Aragon is familiar to both popular and historical audiences. What is less well known is that papal interference in royal marriages dates as far back as the Carolingian era, although the tools popes used to defend the indissolubility of marriage evolved over time.
For more than 75 years the historiographical debate surrounding the appeasement policy of the 1930s has centred upon the notorious 1940 publication Guilty Men, in which a trio of left-leaning British journalists unleashed a vitriolic polemic castigating those men responsible for leading a hopelessly ill-prepared Britain into a catastrophic war.

The ratification of the 13th Amendment in December 1865 marked the crowning achievement in the history of American abolitionism. The sesquicentennial anniversary of this amendment has led to a recent avalanche of scholarship on the downfall of American slavery and the coming of freedom for more than four million slaves.

"I really like this invite when I ordered it online it looked great but I I received it the print was so tiny I could hardly see it. I called their customer service and they send me new invites with larger fonts looks great Amazing customer service"
"I ordered these invitations for my twin sons' baptism. I was very happy with the quality of the paper, the design, the font used. I did not make any changes to the sample online, only personalized it with our information. Everyone who received the invitation commented how pretty it is. Not very many twin baptism invitations out there and especially invitations without pictures so I was very pleased to have found and ordered these. Great quality for the price."
"I am very pleased with this card- the design and quality are great! Makes a very elegant invite and was a snap to personalize. Would definitely order again."
"The invitations were perfect. I'm glad I added the shimmer and the bracket trim. It gave the invitations the perfect touch. I'll be sure to order my sons grad invites from Tiny prints as well."
"I am very impressed with the product, price, customer service and delivery time. The invitations arrived standard shipping in 2 days! Amazing! Classy invitation on nice weight card stock. I kept the color and font as shown. I was able to change text in the text box easily. The blue background and white border have an aged quality because the ink is not solid...more like it was painted in watercolor. Very Book of Kells feeling to me which is a subtle and nice touch. The Celtic cross and knotwork are beautiful. The blue background is a light blue. The digital image doesn't translate the actual color well. Still lovely. Darling little hearts on cross and corners of the invitation. I am proud to send these out to my family and friends for my son's 1st Holy Communion. Exceeded my expectations! Thank you so much! Great job Tiny Prints!"

6. Sony Xperia Z5
A top flagship with a strong camera and waterproof chassis
Weight: 154g | Dimensions: 146 x 72 x 7.3 mm | OS: Android Marshmallow | Screen size: 5.2-inch | Resolution: 1920 x 1080 | CPU: Snapdragon 810 | RAM: 3GB | Storage: 32GB | Battery: 2900mAh | Rear camera: 23MP | Front camera: 5.1MP
The Sony Xperia Z5 is the Japanese brand's 'mainstream' phone, and one that we're happy to talk about - it's got a number of nice features that make it worth checking out.
It's a big upgrade on the earlier phones, and the speedy autofocus - much faster than anything else on test - has to be tried to be believed. You can whirl around and still get a sharp snap, and in bright light the Z5 is probably the best camera around.
It's added in a pleasing fingerprint sensor on the side, and has the latest Snapdragon 810 processor with 3GB of RAM. The waterproofing is amazing when you see how many open ports there are, but Sony has managed it. You can drop this in the toilet without fear, basically.
The large 5.2-inch screen looks great thanks to Bravia technology - it's the best phone Sony has ever made, and we especially like the frosted rear glass too. Recent price drops have made it even more palatable, so it's still sitting pretty near the top of our rankings.
Read the full review: Sony Xperia Z5
Also consider: You could go larger with the Sony Xperia Z5 Premium, which is mostly the same as this model but with a larger 5.5-inch screen and bigger battery - plus it's a 4K screen too, although that's not really that useful. However, the Sony Xperia Z5 Compact is a great option too - smaller 4.7-inch screen, but same great camera and not a lot lower in the power stakes.

Return travel from Michigan to Florida. Have stopped at this hotel twice now and was pleased with the overall quality of the facility and staff. Will book a room again next year when we make the same trip.
Wonderful room and comfortable bed
July 06, 2016
I've stayed at some very high quality hotels in the past but none can measure up to the stay I had at Staybridge of Chattanooga.
The room over exceeded my expectations, the kitchen had everything you would need to feel at home, the bed was comfortable, the bathroom was nice and they even had a laundry basket for you clothes with easy access to the laundry room.
I wouldn't change a thing, and if I could I would live there.

Our Family Advocates provide support to licensed resource parents in NJ; foster, adoptive & kinship families; as well as foster, adoptive & kinship parent applicants.
Meet the Family Advocate for your county:
|Cape May
Meet Corissa Kazar, Support Services Manager
As Support Services Manager, I will assist foster, adoptive and kinship families in obtaining the best information and resources available in order to help empower them as parents.
I can navigate and obtain resources and information that will assist families and let them know they are never alone in supporting and providing for children in foster, adoptive or kinship care.
Previously, I worked as a Family Service Specialist Worker for DCP&P (formerly known as DYFS). I understand the struggles foster, adoptive and kinship families face. It was at DC&P during an investigation I had to remove an 11-year-old boy and his 6-year-old sister. This was the first time these children were placed in foster care. They were frightened. When en-route to their foster home, the boy asked me a question that stays with me to this day: "So who will love us now?"More
Meet Jessica Hernandez, FAFS Family Advocate (Camden, Gloucester, Hunterdon, Mercer, Salem, Warren)
As a FAFS' Family Advocate (FFA), my goal is to assist resource parents by providing them with the resources and supports in their area along with Division of Child Protection and Permanency (DCP&P) and Office of Licensing (OOL) policy and procedure breakdowns and clarifications.
The most rewarding part about working with foster families is knowing that you are making a difference in the lives of others by simply being that listening ear, by showing empathy and compassion, and ultimately by making sure that foster families feel supported. The experience alone makes it rewarding.
I will give my resource parents the comfort and security in knowing that they can contact me for any questions and concerns that they might have and that I will do my best to help them navigate through resources available to them.
As a FFA, I hope to provide foster parents with knowledge on the policies and procedures of DCP&P and OOL in a language that they are comfortable with and understand. I will give my resource parents the comfort and security in knowing that they can contact me for any questions and concerns that they might have and that I will do my best to help them navigate through resources available to them. More
An experience that has led me to become an FFA is having worked as a Child Specific Social Worker in the Intensive Foster Care Department at my previous employment in Massachusetts. It was there I gained a deep understanding of the foster care system from every perspective — the foster parent and the child/children in placement.
I enjoyed being able to connect to the different parties and serve as that liaison/middle person. Foster, adoptive and kinship families require lots of support, and I felt that this is what I was meant to do. Although it comes with its ups and downs, knowing that I am making a difference in the lives of others is my ultimate self-fulfillment.
If you're a foster, adoptive or kinship parent in Camden, Gloucester, Hunterdon, Mercer, Salem or Warren County New Jersey who needs support or assistance, contact Jessica today or reach out to me in our Interracial Fostering and Adopting group at FAFS' Online Support Network.

Meet Valerie Kerr, FAFS Family Advocate (Atlantic, Burlington, Cape May, Cumberland, Monmouth, Ocean)As a FAFS Family Advocate, I am here to provide support, information and encouragement to assist foster, adoptive, and kinship families with navigating the resources available to them.
I believe that the welfare of children is of vital importance to society and that all children deserve to grown up in a nurturing and safe environment.
In 2011, my first opportunity to work with young adults who are or were involved with DCP&P came when I was hired as a Scholarship Associate with FAFS Scholarship Department. I was there not only to administer a scholarship to deserving young men and women but also I was there to help them make the most of their post secondary educational experience. Many of them were unsure how to get the assistance they needed whether financially or academically. I helped them advocate for themselves. More
I enjoy working with children and families. In my previous experience, I worked as a preschool teacher for children between the ages of 12-24 months. I have also been employed as a teacher's assistant for children with autism and other developmental disabilities. Spending time with children can be an extremely rewarding experience.
Resource parents have many responsibilities to a number of individuals: the child placed in their home, DCP&P, the child's biological family and their own family. It is not an easy task to navigate the world of child welfare. Resource parents can sometimes feel overwhelmed with the sheer number of professionals they may interact with when caring for a child in placement such as Law Guardians, Case Managers, Resource Family Support Workers, teachers, doctors and nurses. I am available to provide support and understanding to resource parents, as well as a listening ear. I can also help with navigating through the many policies and procedures they can be faced with.
I believe that the welfare of children is of vital importance to society and that all children deserve to grown up in a nurturing and safe environment. Being with the child on a daily basis, resource parents have a unique opportunity to advocate for the needs of the child in their care and provide a positive influence. I am excited to help support families who provide a home for New Jersey's most vulnerable children.
If you're a foster, adoptive or kinship parent in Atlantic , Burlington, Cape May, Cumberland, Monmouth, and Ocean County New Jersey who needs support or assistance, contact me today or or reach out to me at FAFS' Online Support Network. Sign up. Already have an account? Log In.
Meet Sameerah Lewis-Diaab, FAFS Family Advocate (Bergen, Burlington, Hudson, Middlesex, Somerset Union)
I've been a foster parent for nearly 10 years now. I've fostered 10 children and adopted 1. I have been assisting people from all walks of life every since I can remember; to get paid for it is a wonderful reward.
I provide that listening ear when there is an issue that may be of no importance to someone else, but is vital to foster, adoptive and kinship parents!
As a FAFS Family Advocate I am able to provide a sense of confidence and empowerment to foster, adoptive and kinship parents by supplying them with the appropriate information from DCP&P policy/procedure to handle whatever their issues and/or concerns may be. I have the willingness to research services that are not immediately available in order to help parents help the children in their care as much as possible.More
My work in helping children and families is most rewarding. I was asked to join a Family Team Meeting of two teenage siblings who were seriously acting out (not bathing, cutting school, not cleaning, fighting, leaving without permission). The foster parent had requested their removal. During the meeting I observed the two sisters who were coming into their own young womanhood were struggling with not being with their biological mother. I listened with extreme care to get a heartbeat on why these young women were acting out. At the conclusion of the meeting, I assisted in composing household rules for the girls as follows: Prepare for school the night before, (do homework and get school clothes out), help with household chores, do not throw food in the garbage, no lying, bathe and shower daily, set alarm at a comfortable time approx. 6am, no cutting classes, no fighting each other, come straight home from school, and always contact their foster mom for permission to go anywhere! The girls signed the rules that day, and today, the younger of the siblings is under KLG (kinship legal guardianship) with the foster parent, and the older sibling is now living independently. I am proud to help retain foster homes so we have more safe havens for our children.
If you're a foster, adoptive or kinship parent in Union, Bergen, Burlington, Hudson, Middlesex or Somerset County New Jersey in need of support or assistance, contact me today or or reach out to me in our Teens group at FAFS' Online Support Network. Sign up. Already have an account? Log In.
Meet Veronica Moore, FAFS Family Advocate (Essex, Morris, Passaic, Sussex)
As a FAFS' Family Advocate (FFA), I am here to provide resource parents with support and understanding. I will also advocate for resource parents when they encounter challenges raising children who often face fears and uncertainty.
The most enjoyable experience of being an FFA is offering a part of me that comes naturally. I like to prepare resource parents for the home study licensing process as well as provide support and other resources to help meet the diverse needs of children in foster care.
I look forward to motivating, encouraging and advocating for my resource families. I will foster cooperation and respect while identifying problems and assisting with services to help.
I have dedicated 15 years to rewarding work in the fields of social, community and mental health services. I have 8 years experience in different functions within the Division of Child Protection & Permanency (DCP&P). This includes, but is not limited to, an Intake Worker, Adoption Worker, Resource Family Support Worker and experienced Case Worker.More
As a Resource Family Support Worker, I established relationships with resource families, completed psychosocial evaluations and developed resource family homes.
In the position of a Resource Development Specialist and Family Team Coordinator for DCP&P, I encouraged team-building, embraced the principle of focusing on each family's unique strengths and mentored staff as needed in the Family Team Meeting process.
In addition, I am experienced in utilizing community resources to help maintain cooperative relationships with public and private agencies. I believe these skills will help me assist resource parents as an FFA.
If you're a foster, adoptive or kinship parent in Essex, Morris, Passaic or Sussex County New Jersey who needs support or assistance, contact Veronica today.

New city survey shows about 20 percent have concerns with taste of city's drinking water
A bit "earthy" is how Lawrence city officials described the taste and smell of the city's drinking water for a period in June 2012.
I'll leave it up to you to decide whether that is the adjective of your choice to describe the city's tap water during last summer's outbreak of geosmin, an algae byproduct that was in the city's drinking water.
While "algae byproduct" certainly is a phrase city officials would like to no longer have associated with their water supply, city commissioners have a multimillion dollar question facing them on that subject.
City officials continue to estimate that it will cost about $19 million to equip the city's two water treatment plants with new equipment to make it less likely that geosmin outbreaks will affect the city's tap water. If the geosmin posed a health risk to the public, it would be an easy decision. But geosmin isn't a danger to health; it's just a danger to taste buds.
At their meeting on Tuesday, commissioners will receive a report from the city auditor on the water's occasional taste and odor issues, but it doesn't do much to answer the tough question of whether commissioners ought to undertake a major, unbudgeted upgrade to the city's water treatment plants.
But the audit does include results from a survey city officials took of water customers. Let's see if you feel the same as respondents to the survey, which was sent out to about 1,700 water customers in early December. Here's a look at the results:
• 56.8 percent of respondents were either satisfied or very satisfied with the taste of their drinking water.
• 18 percent of respondents were either dissatisfied or very dissatisfied with the taste of their drinking water. The balance of people were either neutral on the subject or didn't have an opinion.
• 60.7 percent were either satisfied or very satisfied with the smell of their drinking water.
• 16 percent were either dissatisfied or very dissatisfied with the smell of their drinking water.
• 92.2 percent were either satisfied or very satisfied with the reliability of the water service.
• 51.3 percent were satisfied or very satisfied with the overall value they received for their water and sewer rates.
• 21.2 percent were dissatisfied or very dissatisfied with the value they received for the water and sewer rates. Those last numbers about the value customers think they're getting for their water and sewer service could end up being particularly important. If the city is going to make $18 million worth of upgrades to its water plants, it is hard to imagine how it will do that without raising rates.
Commissioners have been sensing that customers may have a bit of rate fatigue, and this survey, which has a margin of error of about 5 percent, may raise some new flags on that subject.
City officials still haven't settled on a new rate plan for 2013 for the water and sewer service. The city has been using 2012 rates thus far in the new year. Commissioners are scheduled to have a study session on Feb. 12 to discuss those issues.
Shortly after last summer's issues with taste and odor, city commissioners were talking pretty strongly about the need for improvements at the water plant. But since then, staff members have been highlighting the improvements they already have made; they've bought specialized equipment to better test for geosmin, for example.
The new report from the city auditor on the taste and odor issue was the type of report that could have provided more fuel to the fire for improvements at the water plants. But it didn't. The report really didn't get into the issue of how other communities deal with this and what type of improvements would be appropriate.
So, it will be interesting to see where this issue goes. It may boil down to a simple question: What leaves a worse taste in your mouth, a little bit of algae byproduct or an increase in water rates?

In relation to Is it possible to have chometz on the shabbos directly after Pesach? Is there any problem if a non Jew bakes bread on Pesach (the Jew did not ask him and does not care if the non Jew does or does not) to give or sell to a Jew after Pesach is over? Is there a difference if Pesach is over on a weekday or if Pesach ends on a Friday? (Can only happen in Eretz Yisrael)

Sigma announces new mirrorless cameras, lens and E-mount adapter
Nikon announced its new "premium series" of Nikon DL series cameras, Ricoh announces WG-M2 action cam.
Introduced at Photokina 2014, there is no flash triggering system that is more anticipated than the Odin II. It is the result of operational requests from the thousands of happy Odin users who love their TTL flash systems and want even more. Phottix is delivering on all of its promises. And then some.
Firmware v3.23 for Phottix Mitros for Nikon and Phottix Mitros+ for Nikon v1.06 are available for download.
Last week Nikon released the high end D810, their latest high end DSLR. With the D800 sensor landing a knockout blow to detractors when it was released the new model mostly comes with tweaks. Except in its video capabilities where they kicked the D810's performance well beyond its predecessor.

Oct. 9, 2013
LAS VEGAS, Nev. – Wednesday was the first day of the USTA/Intercollegiate Tennis Association Mountain Region Championships held at Fertitta Tennis Complex on UNLV's campus.
The tournament opened up with doubles action and juniors Natalie Heffron and Adriana Wojakowska faced off against Utah's Sarah Richter and Luisa Gerstner da Rosa. The Rams and Utes were tied at 5-5 until Richter and Gerstner da Rosa pulled away at the end to win 8-5.
In the afternoon, the event transitioned into singles play and both Heffron and Wojakowska failed to advance in the single-elimination tournament.
Heffron was defeated 6-0, 6-1 by Idaho's Vicky Lozano and Wojakowska lost 7-6, 6-3 to Mountain West rival Iren Kotseva from UNLV.
"When you are given opportunities you have to make the most of them," Head Coach Jon Messick said. "That has to be in their head as we enter spring. They're working hard in practice and getting better but in the matches they're just not sustaining it the way they need to. "
After a break, the Rams season will pick back up on Feb. 1 as they travel to Boulder to face the University of Colorado.

This stuff is great for my 10-year-old Jack Russell's well worn joints. She is much more playful because of taking it. My only disappointment is she won't eat them even though they're liver flavored and chewable so I have to crush them and mix them in her wet food.
I have a Rottwielr and she is going to be 10 years in january 08 the Rott only live 10 or 11 years but she is in good health except for her hip and in the winter time it get bad she has started to cry. I put her on the MAX JOINT SUPPORT and she has stoped crying so I'm hopeing to spend more time with her.
I have a 15 year old Rott mix who has experienced hip and joint problems for about 2 years. I've tried other animal products with mixed results. The only effective treatment has been feeding a half human tablet--hidden in cheese--a day. This product does work and has alleviated her joint problems. My only complaint is the size of the pill. The instructions say to cut it in half and feed half a pill twice a day. That's a tough chore as the pill is difficult to cut and crumbles. Consequently, I have been on whole pill, once a day. Fortunately my dog likes the taste and will chew it before swallowing. I would far prefer smaller half dose pills. The medication's price is reasonable, but not inexpensive by any stretch. It's worth the price, to me, because it works. I recommend it to those whose puppies are no longer puppies.
I have a 14 yr old Chow who was near death it appeared from debilitating arthritis. After starting Her on these tablets, Her mobility and flexibility have doubled to where she acts like half her age. Even Her appetite increased. I would definitely recommend these for any elderly Dog as it will rejuvenate them and is the least we can do for our dear friends!
While the price is great I gave it just 4 stars overall because the liver tasting pills don't get past my dog's lips. He'll eat anything, any liver flavored pills I've thrown at him in the past so all I can think is these must not taste like anything because he can detect that thing in a quarter cup of margarine, or one whole slice of bread wrapped around it. The food goes down, and the pill comes right back out every time. So now the cost savings has been sucked up by the pack of bologna I have to keep in the fridge to get the pill past his suddenly gourmet taste buds.
Aside from that, the pills seem to work great, and have more of the needed ingredients than anything I've tried so far.
Used the product as indicated and within a week my dog was completely healed without any, noticeable, after effects. I am still following the product instructions and will continue to use the product for the forseeable future. Mind you, this product was ordered and used after my vet suggested all kinds of MRI's. Thankfully, I was proactive and tried a much more convenient approach to animal care and succeeded.
I get Max Joint Support for my black lab as he has bad knees. He is moving easier since taking this product. I believe it has reduced the inflammation in his knees.
We live on a ranch and have an 11 year old Australian Shepard. She was getting so stiff and sore she could not do any of her jumping tricks or jump into the pickup like she loves to do. We put her on this product several years ago and I can't tell you how much better she feels and acts. She is always ready to jump in for a ride in the country or chase a rabbit - she hasn't caught one yet but loves the game of tag.
I have used this for 3 months now and it works great. I had ordered my 2 order a little late and you could tell the difference. My american bulldog has hip displasia and when he is on these pills he acts like a the puppy he is. I can tell when it is time for his secound dose for the day too. These are amazing. I tried several diffent kinds that didnt work very well but these take care of it very well.
I have a yellow lab that would be stiff and sore when he gets up. After giving him this supplement he is not limp anymore.
This product seems to be working just as well as the Glyco Flex III and is much more reasonable.
Was not expecting this to work for my 8 year old dog. When she would run a little the next day she could not walk. After a few weeks after taking this I saw improvment. Now she can run all day long and the next day she may be sore a little in the morning, till she gets moving around. Then shes perfect!!! She is now a happy dog thanks to this product!!!!
My dog takes this pill very well and seems to like the flavor. It helps with her hip movement.
it helped my 12 year old dog with his joint pain
My dogs like this better than the expencive stuff you get at your vet.Would like to get it in my store and save to go on line.
This did not work at all! Where is Joint Eze?????? My dog loved it and it worked!

5 of the Most Influential Prints Ever Produced18th May 2016 is International Museum Day in celebration we are taking a look at 5 highly influential prints. 1. 'Rhinoceros', Albrecht Dürer (1471-1528), Dürer created this woodcut print of a rhinoceros in 1515, the image sold over 4000 copies during his lifetime. The rhino's distinctive look is due to the fact that like many sixteenth century Europeans, Dürer had never actually set eyes on a rhino.

Not upto the markI have been a huge Rujuta Diwekar fan. Her book, 'Don't lose your mind, lose your weight' helped me lose 22 pounds. When I saw this one, I was like, okay, let's see what she's got for me. However, this book really isn't worth it. Most of what she said was already known to me, thanks to Rujuta. Also, she has this 'weight loss phase' and maintenance phase, which are complicated as compared to Rujuta's 4 rules diet. Also, I don't understand why she forbids cheese and allows things like crackers and biscuits. The latter is a fantastic source of calcium. Although she says her diet plan is not restr… (Expand)

EAT.DELETE : HOW TO GET OFF THE WEIGHT LOSS CYCLE FOR GOODI just finished reading the book and found it simply disappointing.I picked up this book at my local library in hopes that I could learn a bit more about healthy eating, as I am always searching, and found exactly that.In the fiist half of the book, Puja emphasizes on eating right stuff ie nuts, oils, etc, but in her meal plans she strictly tells to avoid nuts, sugar. You say eat this and then say BUT don't eat it. So it feels contradictory. This book has made lot of hype on food food but found actually worthless.The book should be more than just about diet but should contains all the infor… (Expand)

what's on your plateDeep inside, we all know that weight loss is never or can never be a race against time.

Just okay!Good book but if you have read Rujuta's books, you may find this lacking in-depth knowledge about diet and lifestyle change in general. I actually got interested in the book from page 168 where she "actually" starts giving out the details about the diet. Read this book in one sitting. Easy to read but not too insightful.

[1][2] The parotid (in front of the ear) and submandibular (under the chin) glands are most commonly affected.[1] Sialadenitis may be associated with pain, tenderness, redness, and gradual, localized swelling of the affected area. There are both acute and chronic forms.[3] Although it is quite common among elderly adults with salivary gland stones, sialadenitis can also occur in other age groups, including infants during the first few weeks of life. Without proper treatment, sialadenitis can develop into a severe infection, especially in people who are debilitated or elderly.[2]Sialadenitis is an infection of the salivary glands. It is usually caused by a virus or bacteria.

Hello fellow fodorites.
My wife and I are close to finalising our German/Austrian visit over 6 weeks. We now need help with accommodation for Vienna (4 nights), Prague (3 nights) and Dresden (2 nights).
Our main criterium is the location. We always arrive in a chosen city by train, so close to the main train station is handy. Also, we like to walk everywhere if possible, so if there is acceptable accommodation near the main sights that is also welcome.
We prefer self-contained (kitchenette, fridge) if possible - but this is not essential. However, even if it is more like a hotel room, we like to have a refrigerator in the room.
Our budget is anywhere between EUR 100 - 160 per night.
Any suggestions will be gratefully received.
Thanks and warmest regards,

Accommodation in Vienna, Prague and Dresden
Hello fellow fodorites.
Report Abuse
For Vienna, I would not stay near the stations. Whether Westbahnhof or Meidling, both are far from anything in the core of the city. We traveled to our hotel inside the ring by subway.
The Prague main station is reasonably close to the old town. I was just there last week, but could not find anything in the old town even though I looked for a room back in May. I ended up in Malostranská district.
In Dresden, I would not stay near the main station. It is not close to the center. I stayed in Swissotel am Schloss which is across the street (50yards?) from the Dresden Palace entrance. The price was within your price range. It is an ultra-modern business hotel.
Report Abuse
Hi Greg, Thanks for your comments. I will take your advice and also look into the Swissotel am Schloss in Dresden.
We were also hoping to find accommodation in the Old Town area of Prague (near the Charles Bridge). Hopefully we will have better luck than you
Regards, Steve

Prague's main station is at the bottom edge of New Town close to some dicey areas. Stay elsewhere.
You want near the Charles Bridge, check out hotels on Kampa Island, The Bishop's House in Mala Strana (60 meters from the bridge) or U Tri Psiotru (something like that - it means "At the Three Ostriches"), which is about 20m from the bridge. Not thinking a kitchenette is easy to find.
And Prague is neither in Germany nor Austria, no matter what a certain Austrian-born German wanted for its fate 74 years ago.

I am not sure if my post is a bit late, but here are a few other hotels which are located right on the Neumarkt, Dresden which is the historical center of the city.
QF Hotel, Innside by Melia or Hilton. They should all fit into your travel budget.
Report Abuse
I don't think staying near train stations is a good idea in any city of some size. It can be okay in small places (like Lucerne I did it, and it was okay).
I also think you are being too picky about wanting an apt really, not a hotel, but that's your business.
IN Dresden, I stayed in the Dorint which I loved. The hotel was fantastic in terms of room size and comfort, the price was good, it has a very good in-house restaurant if you don't want to go out or weather is bad, and it is directly in front of a tram stop so you can easily go to the Old Town area, etc., if you want, but the hotel itself is quiet not being in a congested area. I got a room facing the inner courtyard for most quiet. They do have minibars, if that's what you like.

Hi guys,
Thanks very much for all your helpful input. We have now found accommodation in all three places and are very happy with our choices. Looking forward to our trip now - counting the weeks!
Thanks again and best regards,
