Ahavas Yisroel and Compassion for Fellow Jews
Do you really care about your fellow Jew? Take the following test to see if your Ahavas Yisroel Quotient is on par with requirements established by Chazal.
Inside Purim: Even More Fascinating And Intriguing Insights On Purim And The Megillah
These are excerpts from the sefer "Inside Purim" which contains additional answers to the following questions and much more.
Parshat Tetzaveh: Spiritual refinement in the miluim process
While the transgression of the Golden Calf had caused Aharon to feel a sense of distance from HaShem, the miluim was intended to bring him close again through spiritual perfection. The priestly vestments play a central role in this process and great detail is offered in describing them.
Tetzaveh: Honor And Beauty
The wardrobe Hashem designed for those who served in his Mishkan served not only to distinguish them but also to impress upon them the importance and significance of the service for which Hashem had selected them. Clothing itself is a form of serving Hashem.
Paying a Professional, And For His Courtesy Too
"When someone completes his job faithfully you must pay him fully, even if no benefit comes from the work. For example, if a person ordered a delivery of medicine for a critically ill patient, and the person died or recovered meanwhile, the driver must be paid."
Who Is Your Rebbe?
Do older Jews have a rebbe?
Daf Yomi
At most a navi, through prophecy, can institute a temporary modification of a Torah law. However, if he seeks to introduce a permanent change in the Torah or to add a new mitzvah, he and his prophecy should be rejected.
Understanding The Mitzvah Of Megillah
To properly fulfill the mitzvah of listening to the megillah, each word must be heard. If a word is missed, the listener should read it quietly to himself from the text in his hand. The principal purpose of reciting the megillah is to publicize the miracle of Purim. Accordingly, many poskim permit the megillah to be read in English if the reader does not understand Hebrew.
Are Women Obligated To Hear Parshas Zachor?
The Sefer HaChinuch states in mitzvah 603 that women are exempt from the mitzvah of remembering what Amalek did to us. He explains that this is because it is not upon women to wage war against and avenge the enemy.
Q & A: On Yotzrot (Part I)
The term yotzrot refers to a grouping of special prayers that all fall under the same heading, and are also referred to as piyutim. Rabbi Yosef Grossman discusses this topic at length in his masterful work "Otzar Erchei Ha'Yahadut" ot peh, 377). He writes: "Piyut – these are prayers, poetic refrains, or sanctified songs that entered the liturgy of our special machzorim for festivals and special occasions, for the Days of Awe, as well as those solemn fast days that mark our national tragedies."
Rabbi Lord Sacks: The Art Of True Leadership
There is a deeper message in Parshat Tetzaveh - the principle of the separation of powers, which opposes the concentration of leadership into one person or institution. All human authority needs checks and balances if it is not to become corrupt. In particular, political and religious leadership (keter malchut and keter kehunah) should never be combined. Moses wore the crowns of political and prophetic leadership, Aaron that of priesthood. The division allowed each to be a check on the other.
Closing Our Eyes To The New Haman (Part I)
I dare not remain silent. I dare not ignore the wake-up calls and the catastrophe they portend. So I ask you to read my ensuing columns on the subject with open minds and receptive hearts. I will limit myself to the wake-up calls we have witnessed over the past couple of years, though they began considerably earlier.
Shabbat: A Time for Menuchah V'simcha
Shabbat is a time of menuchah, of rest. It is also a time of simcha, of happiness. We are often too busy during the week to stop and think about how we can do something simple to bring simcha into someone else's life. When we can combine the menuchah of Shabbat together with its inherent simcha, we can bring ohr laYehudim, light to all of us.
Drinking on Purim: Holy or Wholly Irresponsible?
The word the Gemara uses to get drunk on wine is "l'besumai," literally - to become fragrant. Not stinking drunk, but rather like the incense in the Holy Temple; a sweet smelling aroma.
Jewish Press Radio: Canada Loves Israel, Happy Hebrew Life, and Middle East Inside
Malkah and Yishai discuss Canadian dedication to Israel, and simple but deeply important aspects of distinctly Jewish life, experts from Brookings get real on Middle East dynamics, and, finally, Rebbitzin Mizrachi teaches how to be truly happy.
Inside Purim: Insights On Purim And The Megillah
These are excerpts from the sefer Inside Purim, which contains additional answers to the following questions and much more.
Shaking Hands With Women (Part II)
Question: Is there any halachic rationale for men to shake hands with women?
Rabbi Lord Sacks: The Tabernacle's Lesson
It is not what G-d does for us that transforms us, but rather what we do for G-d. A free society is best symbolized by the Tabernacle. It is the home we build together. It is only by becoming builders that we turn from subjects to citizens. We have to earn our freedom by what we give. It cannot be given to us as an unearned gift.
No Landlords (Part II)
Batei arei chomah are structures (of at least six to eight square feet) in towns consisting of at least three courtyards with two buildings each, with a predominantly Jewish population – provided that such towns were surrounded by a wall in the time of Joshua even though they may no longer be surrounded by a wall at the time of the sale or buyback.

- Great quality for the priceReview by Catherine
Quality Price Fit Appearance
Bought one to see the color and quality. Out of the bag there was some exposed frayed edge at the hem but it was easy to trim. The quality of the fabric is good but the color wasn't metallic enough to "pop" on top of a white tablecloth. I will definately purchase something in a different color, you can't beat the price, especially for linens with a hemmed edge!(Posted on 3/12/16)
- Just What I was looking forReview by Devin
purchased for round and rectangle tables they are exactly what ùi was looking for and a fraction of the price(Posted on 11/12/12)

Pairs perfectly with the black tablecloth. Looks beautiful!!(Posted on 7/14/12)
- Quality Product!Review by Aaron R.
Was well pleased with this overlay... I question the quality because of the price, but once I pulled it out of the packaging I realize that it was of exceptional quality and I had stubbled upon one of the best deals around!(Posted on 3/30/12)

Based on the Clodbuster, this truck has virtually identical running gear to the Clod except for aluminium reinforcement plates on strategical places in the chassis tub, and most plastic parts are moulded in different colours. It is also topped off by a 'love it or hate it' USA type big rig truck body. These trucks come with American flags, an amazing decal set, and look even better with the hop up option light set fitted. Watch you don't roll it though, all that lovely chrome might get damaged!! (Description originally entered by stulec52)updated: 6/19/2003 9:46:37 PM by Jimbo


text: early voting Supreme Court says Ohioans can vote on final three days By Howard Wilkinson • Oct 16, 2012 Ohio voters will be able to cast ballots at their county boards of election on the final three days before the election, after the U.S. Supreme Court rejected Ohio Secretary of State Jon Husted's appeal of a federal court ruling. Immediately after the decision was rendered by the U.S. Supreme Court, Husted, the Republican who is Ohio's chief elections officer, issued a directive to all 88 county boards of elections setting uniform hours for voting in-person at the boards on the Saturday, Sunday and Monday before the Tuesday, Nov. 6 election. Election boards split over final weekend of in-person voting By Howard Wilkinson • Oct 15, 2012 Ohio Secretary of State Jon Husted asked county boards of elections to tell him what they want to do about in-person voting the final three days before the election, while Husted waits for a decision on whether the U.S. Supreme Court would hear his appeal of his ban on voting during that period. In southwest Ohio, the answers Husted is getting are all over the map – with Democratic board members wanting more hours and Republicans generally wanting less. Mail-in absentee ballots up by 30 percent over 2008 here By Howard Wilkinson • Oct 8, 2012 As of Saturday, Hamilton County's mail-in absentee ballots are running 30 percent above what they were in the last presidential election in 2008, according to figures from the board of elections. It is an indication of the high interest in this year's presidential contest - and the fact that, this year, six million Ohio voters were mailed absentee ballot applications by Ohio Secretary of State Jon Husted. Cincinnati court reinstates early voting for 3 days before election By Bill Cohen (Ohio Public Radio) • Oct 5, 2012 WVXU A major court ruling Friday declares that Ohio may not ban early in-person voting on the three days just before election day itself. Early voting in Ohio starts Tuesday By Howard Wilkinson • Oct 1, 2012 Early voting begins Tuesday in Ohio; and election officials expect the number of voters who vote early by mail and in-person at boards of election to surpass that of the last presidential election four years ago. As of Friday, the Hamilton County Board of Elections had already nearly 62 thousand and 5 hundred absentee ballot applications. Four years ago, nearly 62 thousand Hamilton County voters cast ballots by mail or in-person at the board of elections. That was slightly more than one of every four ballots case. Ohio's early voting starts Tuesday; could eclipse 2008 By Howard Wilkinson • Sep 27, 2012 There are signs that the early voting which begins in Ohio Tuesday is going to be even bigger this year than it was in the last presidential election four years ago. Registered voters in Ohio will be able to vote in person at their county boards of elections beginning Tuesday morning, but many more are expected to vote absentee by mail. As of Thursday, the Hamilton County Board of Elections had already received absentee ballot applications from 61,263 voters. "They've been pouring in,'' said Amy Searcy, director of the Hamilton County Board of Elections. Decision later this week over Montgomery County early voting flap By Ohio Public Radio • Aug 20, 2012 There's no word yet on what will happen to the two Democratic members of the Montgomery County Board of Elections who faced a hearing at the Ohio Secretary of State's office this morning. Ohio Public Radio's Jo Ingles has the latest in the fight to get in person, early voting on the weekends. Drumming sound of protestors Early voting decision leaves everyone unhappy By Howard Wilkinson • Aug 17, 2012 WVXU News In politics, as in most human endeavors, a compromise solution that leaves both sides less than ecstatically happy is probably the right solution. That may be the case with Ohio Secretary of State Jon Husted's decision this week to set uniform hours for early, in-person voting at all of Ohio's 88 county board of elections. Democrats not satisfied with Ohio elections directive By Ann Thompson • Aug 16, 2012 Hundreds of Hamilton County Democrats want a federal court to intervene forcing the Board of Elections to have Saturday hours for the month leading up to the presidential election. The overflow crowd at a Hamilton County Board of Elections meeting extended out into the hallway as Democrats clamored for something to be done. They say Republican Secretary of State Jon Husted's directive didn't go far enough without Saturday hours for early voting. Board Democrat Caleb Faux got right to the point.

Skip to comments.The Guild 3-3-2004 Political Ghost Story
Posted on 03/03/2004 5:11:05 AM PST by BigWaveBettyEdited on 04/13/2004 2:35:34 AM PDT by Jim Robinson. [history]
It happened at the annual Lincoln Day Dinner of the Allegheny County Republican Party, March 20, 1991, at the William Penn Hotel.
At the time the first George Bush was still flush with victory in the Persian Gulf, and dinnergoers chortled over a videotaped presentation of assorted senate Democrats backpedaling in the wake of a war they'd opposed. Ted Kennedy was shown. News clips were shown. But for Kerry, the speaker simply read the two letters, to everyone's amazement.
(Excerpt) Read more at post-gazette.com ...
John Fonda Kerry's New York Times connection, story here.
Please note: by popular demand, Ian Klaus, paramour of Chelsea Clinton, is hereby banned from Gawker Stalker. ...
· just saw chelsea clinton wandering around the measly produce section at the 22nd and park avenue associated supermarket looking all sorts of dowdy and confused in her sidwell friends sweatshirt as she gazed at the red peppers. following her around was her greasy-haired boyfriend looking pretty smug as he saw me notice her. [Ed. HIS NAME MUST NOT BE SPOKEN. AND AVERT YOUR EYES.] ....
· "I just ate lunch at Angelikas Kitchen and Senator John Kerry was there. He had bread with spread and some steamed vegetables and tofu. Took a fig bar to go. [What, no Philly cheesesteak?] ....
· "I sat next to Betsey Johnson (designer) at Pastis in the meat packing district. She was with two obvious sycophants who were drooling all over her, despite the fact that she looked beyond horrid in a multicolored coat that looked like a leprechaun had vomited on it. She had terrible hair with nylon-looking extensions and black raccoon eye makeup. Didn't smell great either." ....
· "8:45 am today saw Monica Lewinsky at the 26th St. flea market (she shops there fairly often). looks a hell of a lot better after the make-up and clothing people get through with her on mr. personality. either that or the director and camera people are doing a terrific job" ....
Maybe I'm not reading the sarcasm in your item about young Ms. Clinton, but all I know is that at the college I went to she once came for a weekend to visit her then-boyfriend. The [identity] of her boyfriend was interesting, because:
· He was a cokehead, and
· He was gay.
Yes, she was there; I saw her with my own two eyes, with the supposed boyfriend. At any rate, it raises a few interesting questions, doesn't it?

Speaking of Chels, I must say that young lady can sure stretch a dollar...Her salary is "only" $135,000 (reportedly) yet she not only lives in a fancy Manhattan apartment with a uniformed doorman but now she is hiring a public relations firm to hype up her image? Too bad she doesn't read FR. We have offered her many tips in past on how to improve her image, i.e.
1. Do not ever wear bikinis in public. Even if you lose weight, you cannot change your shape.
2. Do not get rip-roaring drunk in public. If you do, no dancing on tabletops at bars.
3. Dump Ian and find a manly looking guy who does not resemble your "daddy".
"I believe this administration just helped overthrow, basically overthrow, a democratically elected president," Vanessa Kerry, 27, said during a campaign stop at Stony Brook University. "We basically, in our silence, allowed him to be deposed."
Basically bless her heart.
Paris-AP -- The French government admits it's being blackmailed by a terrorist group.
France says the group is threatening to blow up railway tracks within days unless it's paid millions of dollars in ransom.
The group identifies itself as A-Z-F -- the same initials as those of a chemical factory that exploded three years ago in southern France.
Government officials are taking the threat seriously. Last month, they found explosives buried in a rail-bed in central France.
The government had asked the media not to report the blackmail effort, to protect negotiation attempts with the terrorist group.
But the story leaked out, and is being confirmed by the Interior Ministry.
More Frenchie news:
PARIS, March 2 (AFP) - Families of British, German and French prisoners held at the US Guantanamo Bay detention camp will travel to the United States this week to appeal to the president for their release, a French politician said Tuesday.
Urging stronger French action to obtain their release, communist parliamentary deputy Andre Gerina told journalists: "We want the French authorities to end their embarrassed silence.
"The seven Frenchmen held illegally in Guantanamo must be allowed to return home to France." [What a good idea in light of terrorists holding France hostage and all]
Gerina is also mayor of Venissieux, home town of two French detainees, Mourad Benchellali and Nizar Sassi.
Gerina will travel this Saturday to Washington DC with Sassi's family, together with three British families and one German family on a trip organised by the Commission for Guantanamo Human Rights, recently set up in London.
Former British hostage in Lebanon Terry Waite [???] will be in the group, which will also visit United Nations headquarters in New York.
British actor Corin Redgrave, brother of the actress Vanessa Redgrave, who helped to set up the prisoners' rights group, told journalists here the delegation would submit families' letters to the White House and address an appeal directly to President George W. Bush on the prisoners' fate.
The team is also planning to meet Democratic Party presidential hopeful John Kerry, who has criticised the US-led invasion of Iraq.[Yipeee! More bad news for Kerry]
"Our message is very simple," Redgrave told journalists: "America has given the world a model of democracy which is founded on the rule of law, on fundamantal human rights, including the right to fair trial, the right to silence."
"Guantanamo offers an alternative model to the world, a model where no rights are sustained."
He warned of the danger that Guantanamo would be a model for more and more countries to copy.
About 660 men have been detained at the Guantanamo US naval base, most of them captured in Afghanistan since the September 11 attacks on the United States in 2001.
So far, 88 detainees have been released and 12 have been transferred to their home countries for continued detention.
Attorneys of two of the Frenchmen held noted that British, Russian and Danish detainees had been released, but the French prisoners were still being held.
"The French government has distinguished itself by complete inaction," said lawyer Jacques Debray: "Although no charges have been preferred against the French, there is no indication of their early release."
A second lawyer, William Bourdon, suggested the French prisoners might be "collateral damage" in strains in French-US relations after France criticised the invasion of Iraq.
Notice the enthusiastic crowd.
Ugh. That's my regular senator. Gag, spit.
Um, like, Vanessa, the Central African prez is telling Aristide to shut up. Like, basically, silence, you know.
Anyone else notice the resemblance?
My bond with Termite is only $128 a year. If you don't have one, the initial expense can be high, but the annual is usually reasonable.
The bond covers annual inspections and treatments. I mistakenly believed that meant I wouldn't get termites. Now I understand that it is simply insurance for treating an infestation and repairing any damage. (He told me there's no way to avoid an infestation, it's just a matter of luck.)
Teared up with "Safer, Stronger."
Just one of the many reasons I appreciate our president, his subtle, wry humor. It comes in so many ways, like this picture. :-)
Both of my sentors will make a person gag and spit. At least yours is easy on the eyes, as long as he keeps his mouth shut.
Isn't it though...here this 65 year old lady is falling down and nobody is doing anything, save for the one daughter who looks upset but is doing nothing. Meanwhile, the hubby, is totally oblivious...

Bill Richardson, former Treasury Secretary Robert Rubin, Iowa Gov. Tom Vilsack, and Virginia Gov. Mark Warner. (AP Photo/Files)
Possible? In whose universe? I mean really, Landrieu and Rendell? LOL!
Let's just be blunt: The North Koreans would love to see John Kerry win the election. The mullahs of Iran would love it. The Syrian Ba'athists would sigh with relief. Every enemy of America would take great satisfaction if the electorate rejects the Bush doctrine and scuttles back to hide under the U.N. Security Council's table. It's a hard question, but the right one: Which candidate does our enemy want to lose? George W. Bush.____________________________
And some conservatives will be happy to help, it seems.
I sure never thought of James Lileks as a conservative. Guess I was wrong.
That is her youngest son Chris (age 30) in #8 on the right. He and Vanessa Kerry are very active in the campaign and head some college group for Kerry. Her oldest son, John Heinz Jr., shuns the limelight and is, in fact, a teacher and has a**gasp** job and is married with a kid. The middle son, Andre, heads some environmental group so I am sure he will show up at some point.
But no person constitutionally ineligible to the office of President shall be eligible to that of Vice-President of the United States.Dems would argue that "ineligible" only refers to the initial age and citizenship requirements.
Looks like another case ripe for Dem chicanery...all the way to the Supreme Court.
Off to church to cook for a very large dinner tonight. Have a good day, everyone.
But, but... that violates their privacy rights! That evil John Ascroft just wants to suppress people's rights! /sarcasm
Btw, Karen Hughs is back on the job! :-)
John Pepe Le Pew Kerry came to Orlando yesterday and I was able to watch most of the rally on a local news station. Bob Graham droned on for at least a half hour and then Kerry spoke so long that the station broke away ( this is NOT a conservative type station). I laughed because it's not like there's a whole bunch of news happening around here so why pull out? heh heh heh!
And Pepe is a dummy... It's Bike Week in Daytona Beach, which is just an hour drive from Orlando, but Pepe didn't cruise by and check things out. Nothing, zip, zero, nada word about Bike Week and Kerry is supposed to be a big motorcycle guy.
Fool, a visit to Bike Week could have been almost as big an event as President Bush's stop at the Nascar race. In 2003, an estimated 500,000 - 600,000 people came for Bike Week.
I see John Edwards is out? Well sorta. He suspended his run for president.
Out here everyone is talking about the new Bush ads. Did you know that Bush is exploiting 911 because he has a picture of the American flag over the World Trade center? Oh my gosh!
And!!! He has Laura Bush doing one of his ads? Oh my Gosh! How could he?
Now let me see.................If it were the Clintons we won't be so upset over theses ads, now would we?
Great to see all of you.
Oh please, please let it be Wesley Clark!

Henrico Police arrested and charged a Highland Springs man Sept. 21 with 10 counts of possession of child pornography.
Eric Sebastian Campbell, Sr., 39, of the 100 block of New Avenue in Highland Springs, was charged following a Henrico Police investigation that began in August. Police were notified at that time of innappropriate pictures that were printed to an in-store photo kiosk in the 5100 block of Laburnum Avenue.
Detectives identified Campbell as the owner of the photos, and their investigation led to his arrest.
Villa's Flagler Housing wins national NAEH award

Fireflies by Owl City :)
when i lay in my bed at night to many things occupy my mind
i look around in the dark cold sky as ten million fireflies
gives me enough light around me to shine
to keep me company through the night for
i am still awake for my mind is occupied by you
as i lay in bed and look at my ceiling it feels like
time stands so still and the earth goes so slowly
i wish i could say staying awake is better than sleeping
but to me that would be a lie for when i am asleep
is when you come to me in my dreams
and the thoughts in my head turn to dreams that feels
so real they feel like reality
however at the moment i am laying here watching fireflies
fly in the dark and oblivious night as they light up the sky
until i fall asleep once again tonight to the last thought of
you on my mind

The board of Peter Black Holdings, the Marks & Spencer footwear and toiletries supplier, yesterday agreed a management buyout of the company, valuing the business at £223m.
The board of Peter Black Holdings, the Marks & Spencer footwear and toiletries supplier, yesterday agreed a management buyout of the company, valuing the business at £223m.
The offer, led by the chairman, Gordon Black, has been pitched at 350p per share compared with the 380p price indicated in July when the company first indicated the management's approach. The directors said the reduced price was due to continued adverse publicity surrounding M&S as well as uncertain market conditions that had "restricted management's ability to fund an offer" at the higher level. Peter Black shares jumped 33p to 343p.
The announcement was accompanied by a downbeat trading statement that said orders from major customers, including M&S, have so far been "relatively slow". M&S accounts for 40 per cent of the group's output.
Peter Black's decision to go private makes it the latest in a series of traditional, Old Economy businesses to turn its back on the stock market. The five directors leading the buyout said they believed that the company had been undervalued for some time. They blamed negative sentiment towards mini-conglomerates, Old Economy stocks and smaller companies.
The offer price is 29.4 per cent above the closing price on 26 June when Peter Black shares started to respond to rumours of a possible bid. At 350p, the offer represents an exit multiple of 12.8 times. Jeremy Hilditch, an analyst at Williams de Broe said the offer was not overly generous but that it was the best institutions were likely to get. "I can't see any other bidder being interested," he said.
Peter Black, founded in 1947 by the current chairman's father, is based in West Yorkshire. Its operations include supplying own label healthcare products to the major supermarkets. The Black family control 20 per cent of the shares. The company recorded profits of £25.9m last year.Reuse content

Summary | Excerpt | Reviews | Beyond the book | Readalikes | Genres & Themes | Author Bio
Kim Philby (1912-1988) was a highly ranked member of the British Secret Intelligent Service (the SIS, aka MI6) who at one time was responsible for all covert operations against the USSR and later for MI6's collaboration with the United States' CIA in their espionage work against the Soviets. Throughout his 30-year career he was also a spy for Moscow. In A Spy among Friends, Ben MacIntyre details Philby's exploits and betrayals and elucidates exactly why he was able to get away with his activities for so long.
Many books have covered Philby and the rest of the "Cambridge Five," a spy ring active during and after WWII, that was comprised of British natives who had attained high-ranking jobs in the government. What makes MacIntyre's entry unique is his concentration on Philby's close friendships that enabled him to continue acting on behalf of the USSR until his...

A unique natural landmark, Purgatory Chasm runs for a quarter of a mile between granite walls rising as high as 70 feet. Popular with picnickers and rock-climbers alike, the Chasm is believed to have its origin in the sudden release of dammed-up glacial meltwater near the end of the last Ice Age, approximately 14,000 years ago.
Trails lead to a wide variety of rock formations, with such romantic names as The Corn Crib, The Coffin, The Pulpit, Lovers' Leap and Fat Man's Misery.Fun with the Family The deep chasm is a dramatic sight and a nice spot to hike any time of year, but in the summer the cool, damp air is especially pleasant. A marked path leads down the series of ravines that form the chasm. NOTE: This path is steep in spots and isn't appropriate for children under 10 unless they are experienced hikers. There are numerous picnic spots in the reservation, as well as a good playground area and a short marked path through the woods that's more appropriate for younger kids.

Testing the "Inaction Corridor" in a Three-Regime TVECM
In this note, we investigate a test for the existence of a middle "band of inaction" in a three-regime threshold vector error correction model (TVECM). For this purpose we propose a supremum Wald statistic, derive its limiting distribution and calculate its critical values through simulations.

Fundraiser for family of beating victim
GARDEN GROVE Friends and family of the woman who was killed in a beating outside a Santa Ana nightclub gathered Saturday to raise money to assist her family.
Annie Kim Pham, 23, was pronounced brain-dead on Jan. 19 after she received multiple injuries outside The Crosby restaurant and nightclub early the previous morning.
Pham's loved ones and supporting community members trickled into 7 Seas Sports Bar and Grill, 12941 Main St., during the afternoon and sported pins with Pham's picture and the words "In Loving Memory."
Amber Ayres, a close friend of Pham's and waitress at 7 Seas, co-hosted the fundraiser in hopes of helping the family cover last week's funeral and other costs.
"She was such an amazing person, and she blessed so many hearts," Ayres said. "It's so sad that she left us the way she did."
Afternoon attendance was minimal with the nearby Tet Festival celebrations and parades, said Anna Nguyen, whose cousin was Pham's friend.
"We're here to support the family, even if it's just for an hour or two," Nguyen said.
Pham's former co-workers and friends at Ink Press, a custom T-shirt company based in Garden Grove, donated personalized hats, T-shirts and rubber bracelets that were sold for profit to be given to the family.
Meanwhile, at Bad Influence Tattoo in Fountain Valley, Ronin, a nationally known tattoo artist, Westminster native and friend of Pham's, was offering memorial tattoos for donations to also give to the family. He flew in from Florida and created several tattoos with her name and lotus flowers and said he would be doing personal unique tattoos for her family and friends before hitting the road again to tattoo in Phoenix.
"At the end of the day, she helped me so I want to help her," Ronin said. "There won't be a day that I don't think about her."

Amoral Gower by Dianne Watt
Book DescriptionAn innovative reading of John Gower's work and an exciting new approach to medieval vernacular texts. "Moral Gower" he was called by friend and sometime rival Geoffrey Chaucer, and his Confessio Amantis has been viewed as an uncomplicated analysis of the universe, combining erotic narratives with ethical guidance and political commentary. Diane Watt offers the first sustained reading of John Gower's Confessio to argue that this early vernacular text offers no real solutions to the ethical problems it raises--and in fact actively encourages "perverse" readings. Drawing on a combination of queer and feminist theory, ethical criticism, and psychoanalytic, historicist, and textual criticism, Watt focuses on the language, sex, and politics in Gower's writing. How, she asks, is Gower's Confessio related to contemporary controversies over vernacular translation and debates about language politics? How is Gower's treatment of rhetoric and language gendered and sexualized, and what bearing does this have on the ethical and political structure of the text? What is the relationship between the erotic, ethical, and political sections of Confessio Amantis? Watt demonstrates that Gower engaged in the sort of critical thinking more commonly associated with Chaucer and William Langland at the same time that she contributes to modern debates about the ethics of criticism.

1938's hit "Jumpin' at the Woodside" helped gain atraction for the Count Basie Orchestra, as soon a good portion of the earth would know who they were. The piece wasn't whole planned out from top to bottom, but the band members would memorize specific riffs and then use those two interact with each other.
Late in his career, Count Basie would find himself playing frequently with fellow piano great Oscar Peterson.

New Boise, Idaho Patio Home Community Offers Five Floor Plans and Reasonable HOA Fees
Summers can get hot with temperatures in the 90s (and very little humidity), and winter temperatures can dip into the teens, 20s and 30s. Snowfall averages roughly 2 feet per year.
Englefield Green offers five floor plans, and all homes are Energy-Star efficient. Each residence is built on one level (although some homes have a second story bonus room) and comes with an oversized, two car garage and a private patio. Current resale homes start at $179,900 and have two bedrooms, two baths and 1,320 sq. ft. The most expensive home for sale is priced at $339,900 and has a modified English Tutor design, along with three bedrooms, two baths and 2,430 sq. ft.
Open floor plans, 9 ft. to 11 ft. ceilings, gas fireplaces, large living rooms, a security system, plush carpeting, door level handles and kitchens with center islands are standard. Hardwood floors, granite tile in the baths and kitchen and upgraded lighting packages are found in the higher end properties. All residences are fully landscaped with a front yard and a backyard that is maintained by Englefield Green.
Monthly HOA fees are very reasonable, just $92, and include the lawn maintenance, snow and ice removal and access to the clubhouse. The developer, Thompson Homes, is a family enterprise with 39 years of experience building homes in Idaho. Amenities are not overwhelming, but there is a new clubhouse with a community kitchen, a business center and a fitness center. A pond and walking paths create a pleasant outdoor setting.
As Englefield Green is built out, and the assisted living section is completed, there will be access to an aquatic center, and scheduled transportation and a meals plan will be offered (for a membership fee that is to be determined). There is no activities director, so residents have to keep themselves entertained.
Boise (population 585,000 in the surrounding metro area) is a growing city in southwest Idaho. Over the last few years, it has attracted more retirees, and today 30% of the population is age 46 or better. This is a safe city and has won national recognition as a place with a high quality of life. Its overall cost of living meets the national average.

You may think you are being nice to the wild animals, but it makes wild animals lose their natural fear of people. Feeding can make potentially dangerous animals become too comfortable in residential or recreational areas. Once animals learn they can panhandle for food, they can become a nuisance—or even worse, a safety risk. When wild animals gather for food handouts, it can cause crowding and competition. These unnatural conditions increase the chances of fighting and injury among animals. It can also increase the spread of diseases, some of which may be transmitted to pets and humans. Feeding animals can result in malnourishment due to inappropriate diet and in disruption of natural hunting or food-gathering behavior. So help the wild animals the proper way... Let them live naturally, do not feed them!

The Most Dangerous Justice Rides Again: Revisiting the Power Pageant of the Justices

Minnesota Law Review, Vol. 86, p. 131, 2001
Vanderbilt Law and Economics Research Paper No. 01-08

Minnesota Legal Studies Research Paper No. 02-4
Who is the most powerful Supreme Court Justice? In 1996 we measured voting power on the Court according to each Justice's ability to form five-member coalitions. From the set of all coalitions formed by the Court during its 1994 and 1995 Terms, we developed a generalized Banzhaf index of the Justices' relative strength. Generally speaking, participating in a greater number of unique coalitions translates into greater judicial voting power. To supplement the small number of decisions then available, we derived hypothetical five-Justice coalitions from the intersections of actually observed coalitions involving more than five members. Professor Lynn Baker contested our model, favoring instead an additive measure based on the number of times each Justice participated in any winning coalition.
This Article stages a new Power Pageant of the Justices in light of the cases decided by the Court since 1996. For more than seven Terms, the Court has retained the same personnel. This stability provides a unique opportunity to test competing measures of judicial voting power. We hypothesized in 1996 that a larger set of cases might obviate the need to resort to inferred coalitions. Analysis of this larger data set in fact undermines the validity of both our measure and that of Professor Baker over the long run. We conclude that there are three different measures of voting power each reflecting a different aspect of judicial power.

Red Cross benefit with Slick 57, Centro-matic, Deep Blue Something, Happy Jack, [DARYL], Sorta
Dylan Silvers thanked the audience, the performers and Granada owner Mike Schoder about 50 times when playing with [DARYL] and Who cover band Happy Jack, introducing the temporarily reunited Deep Blue Something and guest-guitar-playing with Slick 57. That comes out to something like once for every 100 bucks the Red Cross will receive from the hastily assembled Katrina benefit. "I wish we could have had another week," Silvers said about the slapdash affair, and it must have been a task to round up such a cast at short notice--hell, he even talked DBS' Todd and Toby Pipes into playing "Breakfast at Tiffany's" one more time for the sake of the Red Cross. Band and venue schedules meant the all-star lineup couldn't have happened any other night, but luckily, the limitation didn't affect the performers. Even with a last-minute schedule change, openers Sorta didn't miss a beat and ended their set with a goosebumps-raising version of "I Shall Be Released."
If only the filthy floodwater could be pumped from the Big Easy as quickly and efficiently as the crowd drained out of the Granada after Centro-matic's set, the penultimate of the night. Maybe they thought it was impossible to top another great Centro performance, full of scathing versions of fan favorites like "Fidgeting Wildly." Or maybe they were worn out from [DARYL]'s awesome display of flailing, wildman rock or from singing along to "Baba O'Riley" and "My Generation" (and pretending to know "Doctor, Doctor") while Chris Holt did a jukebox-perfect Pete Townshend imitation in Happy Jack. If the boys in closing act Slick 57 noticed the mass exodus, their set of loud country-punkabilly offered no evidence. "We did it! We benefited!" Slick 57 singer John Pedigo shouted at the end of the set. He had every right to be proud; they did it. And we benefited.
