L'chaim - to life! Even in the grave...Aug 14, 2008
The Rabbinical Centre of Europe (RCE) was recently confronted with an unusual halachic question. As their press release explains:
A German Jew who passed away had expressed as his last will a peculiar request: to be buried together with a bottle of Vodka.
As the community rabbi heard this weird request, he immediately contacted the RCE's office in order to forward this question to one of the RCE's halachic experts in order to determine if it is permissible to place a bottle of vodka in the grave of the man. The Jew emigrated from Russia in the 70s and was not connected to the local Jewish community. However, a good friend of his, a regular participant of community events and an acquaintance of the local Rabbi, delivered this last message of his friend to the rabbi.
"Every day he would drink a half a glass of Vodka in the morning and a half in the evening", he told the rabbi.
This ostensibly odd question actually raises a serious halachic dilemma. On the one hand it is of extreme importance to fulfill the last wish of a Jew, but on the other hand it is unacceptable to bury any object together with the body of a deceased person.
Rabbi Yaacov Rozhe, who serves as chairman of the Zaka Rabbinical Council and as representative of the chief Rabbinate of Israel in the Medical Institute of Abu Kabir, to which the question was forwarded, replied that there is no halachic prohibition of placing the bottle near the coffin but under no circumstances may it be placed in the coffin, nor beneath it so that no object interposes between the coffin and the ground.
With the implementation of this ruling the man and the bottle passed away side by side…
So a happy ending then.

- -- A court in Illinois has struck down a will by a couple who stipulated that their grandchildren would only receive their inheritance if they married within the Jewish faith. This piece argues the decision was correct
-- London isn't the only place where an eruv fight has turned ugly:
An anti-eruv ad in a local weekly asked, "Is Westhampton Beach an Orthodox Jewish Community? ... Don't let it happen." E-mails and rumors have warned that local shops were being coerced into closing on Saturdays.
-- Honest Reporting asks why The Guardian includes the "Hamas military wing" in its list of "useful links"
-- Good question: how will the credit crunch affect rates of aliyah? The cost of Jewish living is probably lower in the UK than in the US – as most of us don't have to pay the same kind of school fees to send our children to Jewish schools – however, the drop in property prices might affect us more….
-- The LA Jewish Journal examines the contradictions of Bob Saget (of Full House fame)
Even when he's riffing about his synagogue, Kehillat Israel in Pacific Palisades, an animal somehow enters the picture.
"We have a great synagogue -- the rabbi will marry a man to a goat," he said. "It's Reconstructionist -- they'll do gay marriage if you need it, they'll do interfaith -- and interfaith's nothing after a goat."
-- AB Yehoshua laments Israeli corruption in The Guardian. Some of the comments question whether this was the right forum for this piece
-- A 'chnyok' nowdays is a derogatory term used by religious people for the 'holier than thou' super-observant. But what did it originally mean? Some suprising answers

-- The NY Times suddenly cottons on to the fact that there is a Jewish dating scene on the Upper West Side. I suppose that wouldn't have anything to do with the recent piece on Jewish dating in the Wall Street Journal?
Is it safe to fly in and out of Ben-Gurion airport?Aug 10, 2008
This week, I wrote about the serious security implications of the story of the little girl who got left behind at Ben-Gurion airport while her family flew on to Paris.
How, I asked, could an airplane take off from such a security-sensitive airport with luggage on board that did not belong to any passenger? Isn't this a basic security no-no?
Now it emerges that the same problem exists on planes coming into Israel. As Haim Watzman blogs:
Here I am stuck in New Jersey, while the four suitcases checked by me and Ilana are in flight. In other words, while security at Kennedy International Airport kept Ilana and me from bringing hand cream into the secure area, our luggage was allowed to fly on its own to Israel. If a terrorist wanted to blow up an airplane, would he rather use a jar of Ponds or a large valise?
Meanwhile, the American Federal Aviation Administration has uncovered other serious security flaws at Israeli airports:
The FAA cited a lack of proper supervision from civilian authorities as the major problem affecting flight safety. Among other findings, the FAA found that Ben-Gurion International Airport suffers from serious flight safety shortcomings and cited Israel's especially crowded airspace as a serious safety concern.
The FAA critique comes after a civilian committee headed by former Israel Air Force Amos Lapidot issued findings a year ago highlighting severe shortcomings in flight safety at Israeli airports. The Lapidot public committee found that aviation safety in Israel is in a "catastrophic state."
The panel's final report criticized the infrastructure at Ben Gurion International Airport, legislation pertaining to the matter, and air traffic control systems, adding that Israel has not fully seen the technological developments of the last decades in the field of air traffic control. They called to increase supervision on air traffic control systems, and to better train the controllers, many of whom do not always speak in English or use the proper terminology.
Amos Lapidot resigned from his post as head of the committee in charge of examining flight safety two months ago, reportedly because the committee would not implement his recommendations.
The FAA is due to submit its final report in just under 90 days. There is a possibility that it will severely reduce the number of flights on the US-Israel route.
While I, of-course, in no way wish to see Israel suffering an economic blow, perhaps the threat of losing so much money and making it difficult to travel to America will be more effective than the "mere" threat of a catastrophic loss of human life - and those responsible will implement some urgent solutions.
And I was Hitler's maid's sister's cousin's neighbourAug 8, 2008
Many of you will have caught the feature in the Guardian this week on Germans who converted to Judaism and are now living in Israel.
It included a rather remarkable interview with an unnamed professor of Jewish Studies at one of Israel's universities, who claims that his grandmother Erna was, at one point, married to one Hans Hitler – the illegitimate child of Adolph's half-brother, Alois Jr.
As he explains:
"Hans married my grandmother Erna after she divorced my grandfather."
He immediately states that he hates the Hitler branch of his family. He becomes agitated. "I have neither any blood nor DNA from Adolf and his family," he insists. "I was not socialised by that family." He met Hans only once. The Hitlers came for tea when he was 12 years old. "Hans was a very nice man," he says. "No passions, no brutality." But Erna was thrilled to have married into the Hitler clan, and remained a Nazi until she died. "I didn't know her," he says of his grandmother. "She wasn't part of my family."
The professor gave the same account of his relationship with Hitler two years ago to the American Jewish Action magazine. It included many details about the awkward situations he faces as a German convert - he doesn't, for example, participate in Holocaust Day ceremonies - and on the sometimes hostile reaction of his friends and neighbours to his background.
At the time, it provoked much excitement in Jewish circles, and the article was widely reprinted on the internet.
And now, the JC has learned, the Mail on Sunday is also chasing this gentleman – and intends to expose the "Jewish relative of Hitler" this weekend.
Well, I hate to ruin the party. But I am simply not convinced by his story.
According to Ben Barkow of the Wiener Library – the most authoritative Holocaust archive in the country – there is simply no record, anywhere, of a "Hans Hitler".
Hitler's half-brother Alois Jr, according to Mr Barkow, certainly had one son, William Patrick. There was also another son, Heinz, who was reputedly Hitler's favourite nephew but who was killed in 1942 on the Russian front. But certainly no Hans Hitler.
So who is the unidentified and mysterious Israeli academic who is apparently trading on Hitler's name in a rather sickening manner?
I suppose we will have to wait for the Mail on Sunday to find out….
Meanwhile, this just proves once again what a predilection we have to believing such stories. Nothing makes us happier than hearing of a descendant of a Nazi who converted to Orthodox Judaism, or of a one-time PLO terrorist who now preaches Zionism, or (in some circles...) of a Jew who eats pork on Yom Kippur becoming a Belzer Chossid. Such stories are a way of assuring ourselves we were "right" all along -- if even our greatest enemies (or their descendants) can come over to our side, surely the truth is with us.
There is also an enormous appetite for stories creating a personal connection between Hitler and Jews. Who amongst us hasn't heard the old urban legend of Hitler having a Jewish great-grandmother? But hey, why let the truth get in the way of a good headline?
When husbands used their wives' maiden namesAug 8, 2008
The Israeli Ashkenazi Chief Rabbi, Yona Metzger, recently called on women to take on their husband's surname.
As a married woman who (mostly) still uses her maiden name, I am grateful to blogger Lion of Zion for providing this fascinating reminder that the way we allocate surnames has changed greatly throughout the centuries - and that a woman taking on her husband's name was not, historically, the only Jewish practice.
As he explains:
If it is so deleterious to a marriage when the wife uses her maiden name, how much worse would it be for the husband to take on that name for himself (rachmana litzlan - G-d forbid)?
A famous example of a husband using a name from his wife's family is R. Shmuel Salant, the Ashkenazi chief rabbi of Jerusalem in the nineteenth century. His father's name was not Salant; rather, he adopted it from his second wife's father, R. Yosef Zundel of Salant.
Even before the adoption of surnames -- which, contrary to popular opinion, was already in limited use centuries before the Austrian edicts of the 1780s -- there may be evidence that some Jews chose to identify themselves by their fathers-in-law rather than the standard ploni ben ploni.
Records from the Jews of medieval England list some names as ploni the son-in-law of ploni or ploni the brother-in-law of ploni (click here. I don't know the information on this website is reliable)...
Likewise, some Jews in Galicia (and elsewhere?) used "names that indicated son-in-law of" (click here)...
This website (unverified) notes the following concerning R. (Yehuda) Leib Eskeles of Olkusz (Elkesh), near Krakow (17th c.?):
Rabbi Yehuda [Leib Eskeles] married the daughter of Rabbi Moshe Israel Hendels of Krakow. As it was often the case, R' Yehuda Leib, entering the family of his father-in-law was known under this surname and was known as "Rav Leib Hendels" (and not Leib Eskeles)...
Finally, not all newlyweds in Europe registered their marriages with the secular authorities (like today, although probably for different reasons). In such cases wives continued to use their maiden names by default and their children were even registered with their mothers' surnames as illegitimate children (click here).
Benzion Dunner's inquest is a wake-up call for the Charedi communityAug 6, 2008
So Benzion Dunner, a pillar of Charedi society, had cocaine in his system when he died, according to his inquest. Whatever next?
The temptation for the Charedi community will be to suppress this genuinely shocking story, internally, altogether. But since it has been widely reported in the national press this may prove impossible.
And a good thing, too.
Benzion Dunner was not some kid smoking dope behind a bicycle shed, who can be dismissed as a "problem child" unrepresentative of the Charedi community. He was the best, the brightest, the kindest, the frummest, the richest, the most generous of his group. If a man of his calibre was taking drugs - and knew where to find them - you can sure there are many others. And while there is no suggestion he had a regular drug habit, are we really to believe that he had only ever tried it once – to celebrate Purim, the day before he died? Cocaine is a highly addictive Class A drug which is not for beginners – or anyone.
Last week, 200 Charedim chased an American rabbi down a street in Stamford Hill, because he campaigned against Charedi pedophiles. It is high time the community recognised that it is not immune to the addiction problems and social ills of the secular world. Because without admitting the problems, it has no chance of dealing with them.
If the tragedy of Benzion Dunner is not treated as a serious wake-up call, what will be?
Is alcoholism on the rise in the Orthodox community?Aug 4, 2008
Newsweek is running a piece on the supposed rise of alcoholism among American Jews, particularly Jewish ones.
The assertion is unsupported by any real figures - numbers about "Israelis younger than 33" do nothing to shed light on trends in the Orthodox community in the diaspora - but anecdotally, I can believe there probably has been such a rise (no word on whether there is a similar trend in the UK).
In addition, while the article goes some way to explaining why alcohol addiction among Jews has traditionally been low, it never really even attempts to explain why that might be changing now.
Doing a little research on the web, I was fascinated to come across this piece from Time magazine in 1958, about a Yale study asking why there is so little alcoholism in the Jewish community. It includes the following strange theory, which I have never heard before:
...A more convincing theory, [Yale Sociology Professor Charles R.] Snyder believes, is the Jewish emphasis on food, "so that 'compulsive' eating is more likely to be selected as a means of alleviating psychic tensions [than] addictive drinking." He cites one psychological study showing that Jewish mothers' anxiety about their children's eating often causes the Jewish child to remain an infant, "so far as taking food is concerned, much later than other children.
Could the much lamented death of the Jewish mother -- and the diet culture -- be responsible for our descent into alcoholism???

-- Ha'aretz is carrying an excerpt of an interview, which will be published in full over the weekend, with the son of one of the leading Hamas men on the West Bank. He has converted to Christianity, moved to LA, and has some very nice - yes, nice - things to say about Israel.
-- Haim Watzman reveals the best advice he ever received as a soldier - shouted at him by his company commander. It's not what you might think:
"No matter how little time you have to sleep, no matter how miserable you are, don't shut your eyes until you've washed yourself and changed your underwear. It's not just hygiene – it's to remind yourself that you are human being, not an animal."
I really hate to think what brought on that advice.
-- The Israeli government has charged a family of American olim for towing away their car - which was damaged in a bulldozer terrorist attack last month. Their daughter was also lightly hurt. Was that really necessary?
-- Meanwhile, a factory owner in Sderot is giving pay rises to workers who become more observant.
Since the offer was made, many of the factory's employees have indeed become more religious, organizing groups who break for morning and noon prayers and Torah studies.
Apart from any financial incentive, all these examples involve taking time off work. Is it any wonder "many" employees have taken the bribe? Personally, I think pay rises should be based on merit - not on mitzvah points.
-- What is it with Britney Spears and Jews? First there's her Kabbalah obsession. Then there was boyfriend Isaac Cohen. Now she is apparently dating her new minder - "a former Israeli soldier", according to the Sun. I don't know what he did in the army, but I'm guessing that whatever it was, it was easier than dealing with Ms Spears.
-- The Times interviews comedian Josh Howie, who aims to be "the Jewish Woody Allen" - and who has written a piece in this week's JC.
-- Cute(-ish) Milton Friedman anecdote.
-- Thinking of making aliyah? Read Chayyei Sarah first.
-- And finally, reading material for a (very) long Shabbat: Dr Elliot Cosgrove has just finished his dissertation (University of Chicago), titled "The Insoluble contradictions in the life and thought of Louis Jacobs". It can be downloaded in two volumes, here and here. Review, anyone?
The conspiracy theories around Obama's Kotel note get murkierJul 31, 2008
Charedi news blog Vos Iz Neias has posted a link to a video on YouTube which, it says, documents the moment at which the note Senator Obama placed in the Kotel was "lifted". The blog explains:
The videographer identifies himself as David Cohen, "a freelance photographer/videographer currently living in Jerusalem." He reports that "Seconds after Obama left the stones, some of his entourage stepped up to the wall (dressed in suits) and I recorded a young man gathering notes in his hands in what appeared to be the search for Obama's freshly placed personal note. He is joined by others who unwrap notes and read them. One person [is shown] walking away from the wall with a note that he unwraps as he tries to aggressively block the camera lens."
Cohen's testimony provides new evidence that suggests that the alleged pilferer, dressed in the garb of a seminary student, may in fact have been a member of Obama's entourage. If so, there would not need to have been an official authorization by the campaign to publish the note. The actual "pilferer" may have been working for Obama. This possibility would go a long way to account for the mixed messages emanating from both the Maariv and Obama spokesmen.
I don't know what the Obama team members were doing; and it is certainly not clear whether any of these men, the Obama staffers or the obviously Israeli Charedim in the rest of the video, actually did pick up Obama's note. Just because a guy walks away from the Kotel with a note in his hand, trying to block the camera, does not mean he is the guilty party.
I fully understand why sites such as Vos Iz Neias might be uncomfortable with the idea that a Charedi man might have been behind the scandal (although it reflects on no one - no one - but that man himself). But one question: If the Obama camp really did want to make Obama's words public, why would they go to the great lengths of dressing up one of their own staff "in the garb of a seminary student"?? (As it happens, the Obama staffers on the video were actually only wearing knitted kippot and did not look like Charedi yeshivah bochurs at all. If, in fact, that is what these men were - in this video Obama's entourage all seem to be wearing white kippot.) Why wouldn't they just release the text?
The Pope did, after all…
Are Charedi women at the back of the bus the modern-age Rosa Parks?Jul 31, 2008
About a month ago I wrote about a directive, issued by the Rabbinical Transportation Committee, calling on Charedi women to sit at the back of the bus.
The Forward picked up on this last week, and adds an interesting angle to the story. The move towards segregated bus lines, it says,
has sparked a row over who may lay claim to the legacy of Rosa Parks, the African-American civil rights activist who famously refused to obey an Alabama bus driver's order to give her seat to a white passenger. Opponents of segregation say the mantle is theirs. But enthusiasts for segregation have begun to argue that by making their way to the back of the bus, they are actually Parks's heirs.
"I see Haredi women who sit at the back as being the Israeli Rosa Parks," said writer Shira Leibowitz Schmidt, one of the leading proponents of segregation. "We see it as a stand against the deterioration of standards in the public arena, and view the chance to sit at the back without men gazing at us as a form of empowerment."
Later in the story it quotes a woman petitioning against the separate seating:
A co-petitioner, Chana Pasternak, director of the Modern Orthodox women's organization Kolech, said it was "impossible in the 21st century to justify discriminating against women like this." She added, "I feel the need to take a stand, like Rosa Parks."
Strictly speaking, of course, Pasternak is the true heir of Rosa Parks - who would probably be horrified that women anywhere (of any colour) were invoking her name to justify segregation. But I do get Leibowitz's Schmidt point that she, in her own mind at least, is fighting to retain her dignity.
Nevertheless, I wonder if shaping the debate around Rosa Parks is to completely miss the point.
Parks is a very American icon; her name and her struggle would mean nothing to the great majority of Israeli women whose lives this is actually about.
But more than that, Parks took her stand spontaneously, of her own volition, in a moment of deep conviction (although she was, admittedly, an advisor to the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People [NAACP] youth council, which was looking for a case just like this in order to challenge bus segregation laws).
Ms Leibowitz Schmidt notwithstanding, how much of the push to get Charedi women sitting at the back of the bus is coming from women - and how much from the men? Is this a cause women actually wanted and were behind - or are they adjusting to, and adopting, and justifying, what is becoming a new social norm, at the insistence of men, more out of inertia than anything else?
Particularly as we already know what can happen to women who decide they prefer to sit at the front of the bus, after all.

Loved ones pay respects to victim
Published: Friday, November 30, 2001 at 6:01 a.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, November 29, 2001 at 11:00 p.m.
THIBODAUX -- Amid flowers and photos, the family and friends of Nancy Cooley gathered Thursday to bid the Choctaw resident farewell.
Cooley, 36, was stabbed and beaten to death in her motor home early Monday morning. An ex-convict who moved in with her after exchanging letters stands accused in her murder.
Family members remembered Cooley as a kind and generous woman, one who loved her family and tried to help those she could the best that she could.
"She was kind-hearted, and she trusted everybody," said Audrey Landry, Cooley's step-grandmother. "There was no bad in anybody. Why this man did this, we will never know, but it hurts a lot . She will be missed by a lot of her relatives and friends, and we pray that she's in a better place."
During the funeral service, the Rev. James Duck, pastor at University Baptist Church, spoke of the impact Cooley made on other people.
Duck said he has conducted prior services only a handful of people have attended.
For Cooley, however, that was not the case.
As a testament to her impact on others, the funeral home parlor slowly filled to capacity as family and friends came out in the middle of the workday to say goodbye and pay their respects to Cooley's family.
That presence, said Duck, spoke volumes about the life that she lived.
"During this time of living, she made an impact," said Duck. "(Her life) wasn't just a solitude. They've come to say goodbye to her because of the memories they have of her . and the love they have for her."
Others remembered Cooley in much the same manner, with one recalling that she found the best and the good in everybody.
"She had a lot of people who loved her, and her Mom and Daddy are the same way," said Linda Anderson, Cooley's former stepmother for 21 years who delivered the eulogy written by Cooley's sister, Judy Mire. "They'd both give the shirts off their backs to help someone they loved."

Data from Mexico are used to examine whether two indicators of subjective well-being—income satisfaction and income adequacy—correlate not only with the respondent's absolute level of income, but also with their assessment of how their income compares relative to the income of a reference group, the level of income they hoped to have achieved by that stage of their life, and the income they had three years earlier. Both subjective well-being indicators correlate positively with the ranking relative to all three reference points. Some of the findings differ across segments of the income distribution. Subjective well-being assessments of the poor are influenced more by the inability to achieve income aspirations, while differences with respect to others is a more prominent factor among non-poor respondents.

Malatya is a town in the Eastern Anatolia region of Turkey, on the plain of the Euphrates River. Today it is best known for its apricots. Tourists may be surprised to discover how many delicious confections and desserts can be made from real Turkish apricots. Malatya is a very old community, dating back to the ancient Hittites. It was fought over by many armies, including an allied Christian and Muslim army that tried, unsuccessfully, to defend it from invading Mongols. Little in the way of architecture is left from ancient times, aside from the remains of a citadel. However, the Archaeological Museum has some fine exhibits. There are over 15,000 artifacts from Classical ancient periods, as well as some prehistoric fossils. Aslantepe, a few miles outside Malatya, was once the capital of the Hittite Empire. Some old Hittite traditions are still alive here. Battalgazi, just nine miles (14.5 km) from Malatya, was an important Byzantine city. Here you can see the Ulu Mosque, built by the Seljuk Turks in the 13th century.

How to Tame Your Budgies
Three Parts:Building Your Budgie's TrustHand Taming Your BudgieTeaching Your Budgie to Step UpCommunity Q&A
Budgerigars or parakeets are fun birds to keep as pets. Although budgies are not difficult to tame, the taming process requires plenty of time, patience, and consistency. Don't forget to have fun while you're taming your budgie; it can be a truly rewarding experience for both you and him!
Part 1
Building Your Budgie's Trust
1Allow your budgie to adjust to its environment. Budgies can be nervous and skittish animals.[1] Taming them will not be effective if they are nervous in their surroundings.
- If you just purchased your budgie, give them about 2 weeks to become settled in to their new environment. One of the things that they will do during this time is locate his food and water dishes in their cage.[2]
- Place the budgie in a busy room during their adjustment period, if possible. Although this may seem counter productive, having them in a busy room will actually let them get accustomed to seeing people as companions rather than threats.[3] However, be aware that budgies have sensitive hearing, so be careful that the room is not a stressful place. Although there is plenty to see, be careful it's not a noisy room with the stereo on high, or a room where there are drafts because of people coming and going. It needs to be a pleasant environment, so as not to overwhelm the bird.
2Place your budgie's cage close to you during normal activities. In order for your budgie to trust you, he will need to become comfortable being close to you. Allow about a week for him to get comfortable with this. [4]
- Have the cage next to you when you are doing relaxing activities such as watching TV and reading.[5]
- You do not have to directly interact with your budgie when you have his cage close to you. It's more important for the budgie to be comfortable in your presence.
3Interact with your budgie without touching them. Once the budgie is comfortable being around you, you can start working on interacting with them more often. You will still need to be very patient with them so that you don't increase their anxiety.
- Be mindful not to make eye contact with your budgie. Budgie's eyes are located on the sides of their heads, which is common in prey animals. Because human's eyes are positioned on the front of the head, looking directly at a budgie signals to him that you are a predator−you definitely don't want him to see you this way![6]
4Place your hand on the outside of the cage and talk to your budgie in soothing tones. In this way, they will be able to see your hand as non-threatening; your soothing voice will help to reduce their anxiety. Give the budgie about a week to become comfortable with your hand being outside of the cage.[7]
5Place your hand inside the budgie's cage. Open the cage door slowly when you do this so that you do not startle your budgie. Do not try to touch them or anything else in the cage. The goal is to have the budgie get comfortable with your hand being in his physical space. It may take about a week for him to become comfortable with this.[8]
- You can place a towel over your hand if you are afraid that your budgie may bite you.[9]
6Place your hand in his cage with a treat, such as millet. Slowly move your hand closer to your budgie and see if they will walk to you to grab the treat. Don't be surprised or discouraged if the budgie gets scared, freezes, or flies to another part of the cage.[10]
- Practice doing this over at least 3-5 sessions. Move your hand closer to your budgie during each session. Eventually, they will become more comfortable with walking over to you and taking the treat from your hand.[11][12]
- Having a treat in your hand each time that you reach into the cage to change your budgie's food and water will encourage them to get more comfortable with your hand.[13]
- This step may anywhere from several days to several weeks.[14]
Part 2
Hand Taming Your Budgie
1Place your hand inside your budgie's cage. Use the same slow and steady movements and soothing voice that you used when building his trust. Even though your budgie should be much more comfortable with you and your hand at this point, you will need to be consistently non-threatening to them to make progress in taming them.
2Move your index finger closer to your budgie. Make sure that you do this slowly. Your budgie may react in the same way as when you moved your hand closer to give him a treat. If this happens, wait for the budgie to calm down, then try again.
- If your budgie seems too flustered and nervous, you may want to wait until later in the day or just try again on another day.[17]
3Encourage your budgie to step onto your finger. Once the budgie is comfortable with having your index finger close to him, slowly place your index finger on his chest just above his feet and gently push up.[18] Make sure to use light pressure when you place your finger on their chest.
- If you are too forceful when you place your index finger on your budgie's chest, they may get nervous and fly away from you.
- Your budgie may not understand this movement at first and may fly away. Just be patient with him and try again until he understands what you want them to do.[19]
- Gently saying 'step up' as a verbal cue as you push on your budgie's chest may help them understand that they should step up onto your finger.[20]
- If your budgie is hesitant, you can use some millet to entice them to step onto your finger.[21]
4Hold your hand still. When your budgie steps onto your finger, keep your hand as still as possible.[22] Even though budgies are used to perches, it may take some time for your budgie to get comfortable with using your hand as a perch.
- Reward him with a treat as positive reinforcement for using your finger as a perch.
- Practice having your budgie use your finger as a perch several times a day, rewarding them each time.
5Take your budgie out of the cage. Now that your budgie is comfortable stepping onto your hand, it is now time to practice taking them out of their cage. Use slow movements and a soothing voice to coax them out of their cage.[23]
- Your budgie may be very reluctant to leave their cage, because that is their comfort zone. You can try enticing them out with treats, but do not rush them.[24]
- Creating a clear exit path out of their cage (no toys, food and water trays) will help you easily back your hand out of the cage more easily.[25]
- It is okay if your budgie flies away, or flies right back into their cage, when you get him out of the cage.
- If your budgie flies away, do not run and chase them. Chasing your budgie will feel like a predator/prey situation to them.[26] Wait for them to sit down somewhere and then calmly walk over to them. Reach out your finger to get it to step up onto your finger.
- If your budgie flies back into their cage, let them relax for a while and then try again.
- Taking your budgie out of their cage and keeping them on your finger will probably take at least 1 week of daily practice, but it may take longer. Be patient and move at the pace of their comfort with being outside of their cage.
6Walk with them to different rooms when they are perched on your finger. Once your budgie is comfortable being perched on your finger outside of their cage, take them to rooms that are unfamiliar to them. The bathroom is a common room that budgie owners will take their bird to.[27]
- Whichever room you take your budgie to, it would be helpful to cover the mirrors and the windows, since they may serve as distractions. Also, make sure that the room is clean and free of dangers, such as fans or other pets.[28]
- Your budgie may fly off your finger because it's a new environment. Once again, do not chase them if they do this.
- Offering your budgie a treat in the different room may help them be more comfortable in this new room.[29]
- Aim to take your budgie to a different room for 15-20 minutes at a time, a few times a day.[30]
Part 3
Teaching Your Budgie to Step Up
1Have your budgie step onto one of your index fingers. This part of the taming process involves both of your hands, so it will be easier to remove your budgie from their cage. You can choose a neutral room that he has become used to, such as the bathroom, [31] or they can stay in the same room as their cage.
2Sit down in a chair, on the floor, or on a bed. Teaching your budgie to step up will be easier to do when you are sitting down. Sit down slowly and gently so as not to startle your budgie or cause them to fly off your finger.[32]
3Place the index finger of your other hand on your budgie's chest, just above their feet. Use gentle pressure against their chest just as you did when you initially taught your budgie how to step onto your index finger. Push up against their chest as you say 'step up.'[33]
- Your budgie may not be familiar with this verbal cue, so it may take a few tries before they understand that they should step up onto your other index finger.
- Give him a small treat each time he steps up.
4Practice this until they can step up onto your other index finger without you having to push on their chest. As with the other aspects of the taming process, you should practice this several times a day in short sessions (10-15 minutes). Stepping up usually comes naturally to budgies, so it probably won't take very long for them to learn how to do this on your index fingers.[34]
Community Q&A
What do I do if my bird won't respond to a command to come to me even after training for a few months?wikiHow ContributorSome birds take a long time to train. Just keep trying and be patient. He or she will get it eventually.
My budgie allows me to take my hand near it, but when I attempt to touch it, it tries to bite me. What should I do?wikiHow ContributorTry making slower movements. You could also try touching it under chest or while it is busy eating.
Can I start taming my budgie a few days after I got it even though it is already friendly and tamed beforehand?wikiHow ContributorIt's best to still let the budgie get use to its surroundings for a week. Even though it may be tame, it will still be a bit uncomfortable with the new location and will need time to adjust. After the budgie adjusts to the new surroundings, let it adjust to you for a week. After that you can see how it goes with your hand in the cage.
My parakeet gets scared when I put my hand in it's cage, what do I do?wikiHow ContributorIf your parakeet continues to become scared when you put your hand in its cage, it's back to step one. You're budgie still needs to adjust and get to know you before it can become fully comfortable with your hand in its cage.
Is it okay to wear a glove as he bites he comes on my hand?wikiHow ContributorNo, it is better to not wear a glove as it makes your hand appear larger and will scare your bird. If he bites your hand, don't flip out. If you do, your bird knows that that's how he gets you to go away and will continue biting. Just say no firmly and continue training him.
Can I tame budgies in groups?wikiHow ContributorYes, it is possible to train budgies in groups, but it will be harder as the budgies will tend to have a stronger bond with other budgies rather than you.
What if my bird flies everywhere when I take it out of the cage?wikiHow ContributorIt's good for your budgie to get some daily flight time. Make sure the room it's in is made safe for flight -- turn off any fans, close doors to rooms you don't want it in, and cover windows so it doesn't try to fly through the clear glass. Once it's had time to fly around for a bit, it will likely tire out and perch somewhere you can reach it. Just lightly touch its chest with the knuckle of an extended finger and it will step up instinctively. Then, carry it slowly back to its cage, gently placing your other hand over its wings to stop it from flying if you need to.
- Don't give up! Taming a budgie takes a lot of patience but is very rewarding in the end.
- Remain calm and relaxed throughout the taming process. Even though it could take several months to tame your budgie, remaining calm will help them feel more at ease as you're working with them.
- It's easier to train a young budgie than an old budgie. All kinds of animals are best tamed when young.
- Do not pull your hand away if your budgie bites you. This will teach them that if they want you to back off, then biting is how you do it. This is a sign of your budgie training you, not the other way around.
- Make sure all the windows are closed when taking your budgie out of their cage; otherwise, they may end up flying out of the window!
- Millet sprays are high in fat, so this should not be the only treat that you offer your budgie. Other types of healthier treats are fresh fruits and vegetables, seeds, and pellets. However, millet is the most effective treat to give to your budgie.[35]
- Certain foods are toxic to budgies, such as apple seeds, avocados, parakeet chocolate, and onions. Do not feed these to your budgie.

By Mrs. Jennifer Aldridge (USACE)June 17, 2013
WIESBADEN, Germany - Kaiserslautern High School will soon have a new home. A modern, 21st-century educational facility is being designed to replace the current school, housed in a converted World War II-era hospital building.
Last month, SchenkelShultz Architecture, the firm hired by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and Department of Defense Education Activity to develop a design concept for the new school, won a prestigious LEARNING BY DESIGN Citation of Excellence for the KHS project in Vogelweh, Germany.
Each year SchenkelShultz submits project entries to LEARNING BY DESIGN, but 2005 was the last time the firm won an award of this caliber, said Daniel Tarczynski, a SchenkelShultz partner.
"For us, in our firm, this was major. My colleague, Bridget Paterno, who submits all the award entries, left me a message and asked me to call her back," Tarczynski said. "I didn't, so she called me again. When I answered, I said, 'Yes, yes Bridget, I know we won an award.' She said, 'No, we didn't just win another award from LEARNING BY DESIGN, we won THE award.'
"This was a great accomplishment for the design team -- providing a school of this quality to students of U.S. military families," Tarczynski said.
When the team met internally to rank and submit its award entries they had an inclination the Kaiserslautern project would win, said Brook Sherrard, a SchenkelShultz associate principal.
"It encapsulates 21st -century design," Sherrard said. "The more you are challenged as a designer, the more you push yourself. We had a great time designing this school and we had all the right people on it."
21st-century learning facilities, as defined by DoDEA, are collaborative, flexible and dynamic. DoDEA's new 21st-century schools will support student-centered learning and provide continuity to military children worldwide, according to the agency's website.
Upon completion, Kaiserslautern High School will bring 21st-century design principles to life. The building itself will serve as a teaching tool. Learning cues have been designed and incorporated throughout KHS. One of the cues, for example, is a "living wall," Tarczynski said.
"We have a wall with growing plants and exposed water filtration from rainwater collected on the roof," he said. "The plants then purify the air. The glass [surrounding the plants] is also a writable surface."
In addition to the living wall, liquid-crystal display screens will show students how much power they draw from photovoltaic panels and wind turbines on campus, an organic school garden will be planted and Green Revolution stationary bikes will convert human effort into usable energy, explained Johnnie Lohrum, a SchenkelShultz associate principal.
"This is cutting-edge 21st century," Lohrum said.
Undoubtedly, the award-winning school design required the input of many key stakeholders. The project delivery team included a laundry list of organizations - DoDEA headquarters, Department of Defense Dependents Schools-Europe, USACE Europe and Norfolk Districts, German construction agencies, SchenkelShultz, Dorsch Gruppe, the Kaiserslautern garrison and Kaiserslautern High School. It was a large but productive team, said Tammy Cinnamon, the USACE Europe District project manager.
"Even our internal team partnered to make sure we met the intent of 21st century," Cinnamon said. "It was a really good collaborative effort."
The team, especially the U.S. and German architects, came together on this project immediately, said Lawrence Hoskin, the DoDDS-Europe military construction program manager.
"If you don't have a team pulling together with free flow of ideas, I don't see how you could win the award SchenkelShultz won," Hoskin said.
Experience also aided in the team's award citation. Many of the PDT members, including SchenkelShultz, worked together designing two Spangdahlem Air Base schools before moving on to Kaiserslautern.
SchenkelShultz was hired into the DoDEA vision and everyone was on board; the oars were all going in the right direction, Sherrard said.
"There was amazing synergy. Very rarely do we get clients who say go ahead and push the boundaries," Sherrard said. "That was the opportunity we got on this project."
Kaiserslautern High School is one of six DoDDS-Europe 21st -century facilities currently in design under Europe District's military construction program. In the near future, five additional Kaiserslautern military community schools will begin design, bringing the total to 11. The district is responsible for the delivery of these schools in Germany and Belgium, representing a population of more than 20,000 students.
Although the majority of KHS students will graduate long before the new facility is scheduled to open its doors, their legacy will live on. During the design phase, SchenkelShultz conducted a brainstorming session with students and staff to find out what they liked about their school and what needed improvement. The students had great input and many of their ideas were incorporated into the design, Hoskin said.
"Their participation in the design will provide an excellent 21st-century school for future students," he said.
From the moment Kaiserslautern students step off their bus, they will be learning. A "history walk" will introduce them to the story of their school, their base and the U.S. Army in Europe. The front of KHS will be lined with pavers mapping out Germany and highlighting the locations of past and present U.S. installations. Hopefully this will help build school pride from the outside in, Lohrum said.
"Giving them a piece of home, I feel like I am giving back to the military that gives us so much freedom."
***Editor's Note: LEARNING BY DESIGN will honor the Kaiserslautern High School project with a Citation of Excellence Award in the October edition of its publication. This citation is one of only three presented by LBD with support from the American Institute of Architects, APPA-Leadership in Educational Facilities, Council of Educational Facility Planners International, the National School Boards Association and the National Clearinghouse for Educational Facilities.

A true sport SUV

Amazing handling. Great technology package. Received numerous compliments. Definitely more of a niche/speciality product whereby with a small sacrifice in rear cargo space, you get great driving sports-like performance.

Air hockey with an injection of neon
Glow Hockey is a game for Android that simulates a true-blue game of air hockey.
If regular hockey games are too bland for you, then you could try installing the exceptionally popular Glow Hockey Free on your Android.
The game follows all the usual rules of air hockey, but the twist is that all the graphics light up. Glow Hockey Free is visually pretty impressive, and the colorful neon table, pucks and paddles are very authentic. In fact, they might even distract you a little from the gameplay by being slightly too bright!
Glow Hockey is very easy to play. Just hold your finger somewhere near the paddle and drag it around. There are three levels of difficulty in this free version of the game, and the hardest level can be pretty challenging.
Overall though, the lack of two player mode in Glow Hockey Free gives the game a very limited shelf life. Playing against the computer opponent quickly gets very boring.
If you're looking for some air hockey fun without having to drop in some tokens and find an opponent, Glow Hockey's a fun alternative

I have the images for the page stored in a folder, let's call it "new site images" I've copied and pasted the html for the new page but the images do not show up. I uploaded the "new site images" folder via FTP into the wp/content/uploads folder but none of the images are showing. The path to the images is http://www.domain.com/site-page-name/images/newsiteimages/name of image.jpg. Have I put the images folder in the correct place?
Thanks in advance.

Description: Once upon a time in the suburbs, there lived a teenager named Alice. A pretty girl who liked to play games. Games of seduction. Games of violence. One day Alice decided to kill Said, a handsome and cocky classmate, so she manipulated her naive boyfriend Luc into committing the cold-blooded crime as proof of his love. Alice thought that she had carefully planned everything. But a life of true crime can be filled with so many difficulties. Alice and Luc went to the forest to dispose of Said's body. Once their work was done, Alice and Luc noticed they were lost. Luckily, they found a rowboat on a stream. But it only carried them deeper into nowhere. Poor Alice and Luc. Cold, hungry and all alone. And everyone knows that the woods are filled with traps for careless young rabbits. Happily, they stumble onto a quaint little cabin inhabited by a lone woodsman. But Alice and Luc didn't realize they were about to discover that life is not a fairy tale at all.

West Hills Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram Sales Reviews

- Chat with Dealer
Our salesman was GREAT!!Written by farminmom on 11/05/11 05:26:11 PM PDT Go back to Sales reviews
Recommend this dealer? Yes Purchased a vehicle from this dealer? Yes
Over the last 40 years, my late husband and I have purchased many many cars. I have never had as good an experience with sales personnel as I had with Mel Blanton. Not only was he knowledgable and willing to work with me, but he really seemed to want to make sure I found what I needed and wanted in a vehicle, and was never pushy. This was my first major purchase since I was widowed, and it could have been quite traumatic, but Mel made it easy and comfortable....and actually FUN! The financial department took an unreasonably long time doing the paperwork--especially considering I was paying cash!--(they had a computer down or some such) but Mel remained patient and cheerful and entertained my son and I--or maybe we entertained him--for, literally--hours. I will always go to Mel first for any vehicle needs I have, and will be recommending him to everyone I know. I couldn't be more pleased, love the vehicle, loved the salesman!! You can't say that very often after buying a new car. Oh! And got a GREAT warrantee!!

If you are an ardent follower of BlackBerry devices, this news might seem obvious to you but it is the first time that the confirmation has been made in a formal manner. BlackBerry was required to file documents with the US Securities and Exchange Commission soon after their Q3 earnings of 2014. The Wall Street Journal reports state that BB had to cancel two of their upcoming devices in order to mitigate the inventory risk that was identified by the brand.
Some good news for Apple fans who want to grab the second version of the iPad mini! The much awaited Retina display iPad mini is officially on sale today.
Some good news for all those disappointed that the rumored Lumia 929 didn't surface at Nokia's big event at Abu Dhabi last week!
In an endeavour to obliterate huge international roaming charges, T-Mobile has entered into a deal that would aid in washing away such charges in more than 100 countries.
Again a wave of leaked images! And now the company to have undergone the same is HTC.
Months after it was rolled out on the other major U.S. carriers (AT&T, T-Mobile and Sprint) Verizon customers can finally lay their hands on the flagship HTC One smartphone.
They just keep coming - no matter how secure you make your website or online store, hackers find a way out to intrude your system and do away with critical information, often leading to huge monetary loss. It has been found that more financial crimes were reported in 2012 than state sponsored hacking incidents.
Research In Motion has partnered with top carriers Verizon, AT&T, and T-Mobile to launch Blackberry 10 devices by the start of February.
Major Internet Service Providers (ISPs) plan for Six Strikes should instill a fear in the hearts of anyone engaged in supporting piracy. However, what is in it that is making everyone with a shared internet connection fearful of it?
For the residents of New York and New Jersey devastated by the super-storm Sandy, the news that Verizon is not going to charge them for data and voice usage for two week period is nothing short of silver lining amongst dark 'Sandy' clouds.

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — Five-time world boxing champion Johnny Tapia has died, according to a source close to the family.
Albuquerque police were called to Tapia's house at about 7:45 p.m. by a family member who found a body there, said Albuquerque Police Department spokesman Robert Gibbs, but police couldn't say with absolute certainty Sunday night that it was Tapia's body.
The death did not appear suspicious, Gibbs said. An official cause of death will be determined by the Office of the Medical Investigator following an autopsy.
For more details about the life and death of Johnny Tapia, please read "Champ Boxer Dies".

Kane County Board Chairman Karen McConnaughay formally announced her plans today to run for the Illinois State Senate next year.
At a midday kickoff in West Dundee, McConnaughay said she will seek the Republican nomination for the 33rd District, a newly drawn district that will not have an incumbent within its boundaries.
She said she planned on bringing lessons she learned in a 20-year career in local politics to Springfield, and said she hoped to be a positive voice for limited, responsible government in tough economic times.
"There aren't enough people who talk about what can be," McConnaughay said later Wednesday in a phone interview.
Pension reform, reduced borrowing and consolidating duplicative areas of government will be major areas of emphasis, she said.
"I'll fight every day for smaller and smarter state government," she said.
The St. Charles resident was elected to the Kane County Board in 1992. She was elected chairman in 2004 and won re-election in 2008. Like most units of government, Kane County has been forced to reduce spending over the last several years, but McConnaughay said the county is on firm financial footing.
"I feel very confident this is a good time to pass of the reins to new ideas and energy," said McConnaughay, who said she will fulfill her term as chairman, which expires in January 2013.
