Marie Claire's expose this month on the problems with the nation's sex offender registry has been garnering attention throughout the country. The issue, the article states, is that too often kids are being put on the registry for doing things lots of teens do: have sex with their high school boyfriend or girlfriend.
Frank and Nikki Rodriguez began sleeping together after a year of dating when Frank was 19 and Nikki was just shy of 16. When Nikki's mother found out she reported the relationship to police. Frank, on the advice of his attorney, plead guilty. He now must register every year as a sex offender. His crime is listed as "sexual assault of a child." From the story:
Once he was labeled a sex offender, Frank faced a slew of restrictions. "I couldn't talk to Nikki. I couldn't go to restaurants, public swimming pools, football games — any places where there might be kids," he says. "I couldn't vote. I couldn't leave the county without permission. My probation officer told me, 'If you even look at a woman the wrong way, you could go to prison.'"
Frank did not have to go to jail. Instead, he was required to perform 350 hours of community service — picking up trash, mowing lawns — and to attend weekly counseling courses with convicted sex offenders and pedophiles. He also had to move out of his family home, since a 12-year-old girl lived there: his own sister.
His father helped him rent a place, and Frank says he became depressed. A recent high school graduate, he had been planning to attend a nearby technical college. Instead, he says, "I just locked myself up in there — my life stopped."
The couple, who moved in together the day Nikki turned 17, have since married and have two children together. The pressure of being labeled a sex offender has taken its toll on the family. Nikki says her relationship with her mother is strained. Her mother says she never would have gone to the police if she knew what the consequences would have been.
In Texas it is considered sexual assault for anyone to have sex with a child under the age of 17 who is not a spouse. The exception is if the victim is at least 14 and the perpetrator is not more than three years older. (Frank was three years and two months older than Nikki.) In September, a new law goes into effect that changes the minimum age to be at least 15 and the perpetrator no more than four years older.
As a mother of a daughter who's almost a teenager I admit I feel a bit conflicted about this. It doesn't seem fair that a 51-year-old man can have sex with his 16-year-old wife and that's perfectly fine, but a 19-year-old kid can have his entire life ruined because of consensual sex with his long-time girlfriend.
At the same time where do we draw the line? If a four year age gap is okay, what about a four year, two month age gap? Your thoughts below.

Leslie Howard (born Leslie Howard Steiner, 3 April 1893 – 1 June 1943) was an English stage and film actor, director, and producer.[1] Howard also wrote many stories and articles for The New York Times, The New Yorker and Vanity Fair. Howard was one of the biggest box-office draws and movie idols of the 1930s but is probably best remembered for playing Ashley Wilkes in Gone with the Wind (1939). Howard had movie roles in many other notable films, including: Berkeley Square (1933), Of Human Bondage (1934), The Scarlet Pimpernel (1934), The Petrified Forest (1936), Pygmalion (1938), Intermezzo (1939), "Pimpernel" Smith (1941) and The First of the Few (1942), receiving two nominations for the Academy Award for Best Actor.
Howard's Second World War activities included acting and filmmaking. He was active in anti-German propaganda and rumored to have been involved with British or Allied Intelligence, sparking conspiracy theories regarding his death in 1943 at the hands of the German Luftwaffe when the British airliner on which he was a passenger was shot down over the Bay of Biscay.
Early life
Howard was born Leslie Howard Steiner to a British mother, Lilian (née Blumberg), and a Hungarian Jewish father, Ferdinand Steiner, in Forest Hill, London. Lilian had been brought up as a Christian, but she was of partial Jewish ancestry—her paternal grandfather Ludwig Blumberg, a Jewish merchant originally from East Prussia, had married into the English upper middle classes.[2][3][4] Howard was educated at Alleyn's School, London. Like many others around the time of World War I, the family Anglicised its name in this case to "Stainer," although Howard's legal name remained Steiner as evidenced by his military records and the public notice of his name change in 1920.[5] He worked as a bank clerk before enlisting at the outbreak of the Great War. He served in the British Army as a subaltern in the Northamptonshire Yeomanry but suffered shell shock, which led to his relinquishing his commission in 1916.[6]
Theatre career
Howard began his professional acting career in regional tours of Peg O' My Heart and Charley's Aunt in 1916-1917 and on the London stage in 1917 but had his greatest theatrical success in the United States in the Broadway theatre, in such plays as Aren't We All? (1923), Outward Bound (1924), and The Green Hat (1925). He became an undisputed Broadway star in Her Cardboard Lover (1927). After his success as time traveller Peter Standish in Berkeley Square (1929), Howard launched his Hollywood career in the film version of Outward Bound, but didn't like the experience and vowed never to return to Hollywood. Howard would return, however, many times—later repeating the Standish role in the 1933 film version of Berkeley Square.
The stage, however, continued to be an important part of his career. Howard frequently juggled acting, producing, and directing duties in the Broadway productions in which he starred. Howard was also a dramatist, and starred in the Broadway production of his play, Murray Hill (1927). He played Matt Denant in John Galsworthy's 1927 Broadway production Escape in which he first made his mark as a dramatic actor. His stage triumphs continued with The Animal Kingdom (1932) and The Petrified Forest (1935).[7] He later repeated both roles in the film versions.
In the same period, he had the misfortune to open on Broadway in William Shakespeare's Hamlet (1936) just a few weeks after John Gielgud launched a rival production of the same play that was far more successful[8] with both critics and audiences. Howard's production, his final stage role, lasted for only 39 performances before closing.
Howard was inducted into the American Theatre Hall of Fame in 1981.[9]
Film career
In 1920 Howard suggested forming a film production company, British Comedy Films Ltd., to his friend Adrian Brunel. The two eventually settled on the name Minerva Flims Ltd. The Company's Board of Directors consisted of Howard, Brunel, C. Aubrey Smith, Nigel Playfair and A. A. Milne. One of the Company's investors was H. G. Wells. Although the movies produced by Minerva—which were written by A. A. Milne—were well-received by critics, the Company was only offered £200 apiece for movies it cost them £1,000 to produce and Minerva Films Ltd. was short-lived.[10][11][12] Early films include four written by A. A. Milne, including The Bump, starring C. Aubrey Smith; Twice Two; Five Pounds Reward; and Bookworms, the latter two starring Howard. Some of these films survive in the archives of the British Film Institute.
Following his move to Hollywood, Howard often played stiff-upper-lipped Englishmen. He appeared in the film version of Outward Bound (1930), though in a different role than the one he portrayed on Broadway. He had second billing under Norma Shearer in A Free Soul (1933), which also featured Lionel Barrymore and future Gone With the Wind rival Clark Gable six years prior to their Civil War masterpiece. He starred in the film version of Berkeley Square (1933), for which he was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Actor. He played the title character in The Scarlet Pimpernel (1934).
Howard co-starred with Bette Davis in The Petrified Forest (1936) and reportedly insisted that Humphrey Bogart play gangster Duke Mantee, repeating his role from the stage production. It re-launched Bogart's screen career, and the two men became lifelong friends; Bogart and Lauren Bacall later named their daughter "Leslie Howard Bogart" after him.[13]
Howard had earlier co-starred with Davis in the film adaptation of W. Somerset Maugham's book Of Human Bondage (1934) and later in the romantic comedy It's Love I'm After (1937) (also co-starring Olivia de Havilland). He played Professor Henry Higgins in the film version of George Bernard Shaw's play Pygmalion (1938), with Wendy Hiller as Eliza, which earned Howard another Academy Award nomination for Best Actor. Howard starred with Ingrid Bergman in Intermezzo (1939) and Norma Shearer in a film version of Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet (1936).
Howard is perhaps best remembered for his role as Ashley Wilkes in Gone With the Wind (1939), his last American film, but he was uncomfortable with Hollywood and returned to England to help with the Second World War effort. He starred in a number of Second World War films including 49th Parallel (1941), "Pimpernel" Smith (1941), and The First of the Few (1942, known in the U.S. as Spitfire), the latter two of which he also directed and co-produced.[14] His friend and The First of the Few co-star, David Niven said Howard was "...not what he seemed. He had the kind of distraught air that would make people want to mother him. Actually, he was about as naïve as General Motors. Busy little brain, always going."[15]
In 1944, after his death, British exhibitors voted him the second most popular local star at the box office.[16]

Personal life
Howard married Ruth Evelyn Martin in March, 1916,[17] and they had two children, Ronald "Winkie" and Leslie Ruth "Doodie." His son Ronald Howard (1918–1996)[18] became an actor and portrayed the title character in the television series Sherlock Holmes (1954).
Arthur, Howard's younger brother, was also an actor, primarily in British comedies. A sister, Irene, was a costume designer and later a casting director for MGM.[19] Another sister, Doris (aka Dorice) Stainer, founded a small school, Hurst Lodge School, in Sunningdale, Berkshire, England, in 1945 and remained its headmistress until the 1970s.
Widely known as a ladies' man[20] (he himself once said that he "didn't chase women but … couldn't always be bothered to run away"),[21] Howard is reported to have had an affair with Tallulah Bankhead when they appeared on stage (in the UK) in Her Cardboard Lover (1927); Merle Oberon, while filming The Scarlet Pimpernel (1934) and Conchita Montenegro, with whom he had appeared in the film Never the Twain Shall Meet (1931). There were also rumours of affairs with Norma Shearer and Myrna Loy (during filming of The Animal Kingdom).[22]
Howard met and fell in love with Violette Cunnington in 1938 while working on the film Pygmalion. Cunnington was secretary to Gabriel Pascal who was producing the film. Cunnington became Howard's secretary and lover and the two traveled to the United States, living together while Howard was filming Gone With The Wind (1939) and Intermezzo: A Love Story (1939). Howard's wife and daughter joined him in Hollywood before production ended on the two movies, making Howard's arrangement with Cunnington somewhat uncomfortable for everyone.[23][24][25] Howard left the United States for the last time with his wife and daughter in August, 1939. Cunnington soon followed. She later appeared in two of Howard's films, "Pimpernel" Smith (1941) and The First of the Few (1942), in minor roles under the stage name of Suzanne Clair. Cunnington, in her early 30s, died in 1942 of pneumonia, just six months before Howard's death. Howard was distraught over her death. In his will, Howard had left her his Beverly Hills house.[26][27]
The Howard's family home in Britain was Stowe Maries, a 16th-century six-bedroom farmhouse on the edge of Westcott village near Dorking, Surrey.[21]
Howard's will revealed an estate of $251,000, or £62,761 (the equivalent of £2.55 million as of 2015).[28][29]
An English Heritage blue plaque commemorating Howard was placed at 45 Farquhar Road, Upper Norwood, London in 2013.[30]
Howard died in 1943 when flying to Bristol, UK, from Lisbon, Portugal, on KLM Royal Dutch Airlines/BOAC Flight 777. The aircraft, "G-AGBB" a Douglas DC-3, was shot down by Luftwaffe Junkers Ju 88C6 maritime fighter aircraft over the Bay of Biscay.[31] Howard was among the 17 fatalities, including four ex-KLM flight crew.[32][33]
The BOAC DC-3 Ibis had been operating on a scheduled Lisbon–Whitchurch route throughout 1942–1943 that did not pass over what would commonly be referred to as a war zone. By 1942, however, the Germans considered the region an "extremely sensitive war zone."[34] On two occasions, 15 November 1942, and 19 April 1943, the camouflaged airliner had been attacked by Messerschmitt Bf 110 fighters (a single aircraft and six Bf 110s, respectively) while en route; each time, the pilots escaped via evasive tactics.[35] On 1 June 1943, "G-AGBB" again came under attack by a schwarm of eight V/KG40 Ju 88C6 maritime fighters. The DC-3's last radio message indicated it was being fired upon at longitude 09.37 West, latitude 46.54 North.[32]
According to German documents, the DC-3 was shot down at 46°07′N 10°15′W / 46.117°N 10.250°W, some 500 miles (800 km) from Bordeaux, France, and 200 miles (320 km) northwest of A Coruña, Spain. Luftwaffe records indicate that the Ju 88 maritime fighters were operating beyond their normal patrol area to intercept and shoot down the aircraft.[20] Bloody Biscay: The Story of the Luftwaffe's Only Long Range Maritime Fighter Unit, V Gruppe/Kampfgeschwader 40, and Its Adversaries 1942–1944 (Chris Goss, 2001) quotes First Oberleutnant Herbert Hintze, Staffel Führer of 14 Staffeln and based in Bordeaux, that his Staffel shot down the DC-3 because it was recognised as an enemy aircraft. Hintze further states that his pilots were angry that the Luftwaffe leaders had not informed them of a scheduled flight between Lisbon and the UK, and that had they known, they could easily have escorted the DC-3 to Bordeaux and captured it and all aboard. The German pilots photographed the wreckage floating in the Bay of Biscay, and after the war copies of these captured photographs were sent to Howard's family.[31]
The following day, a search of the Bay of Biscay was undertaken by "N/461", a Short Sunderland flying boat from No. 461 Squadron RAAF. Near the same coordinates where the DC-3 was shot down, the Sunderland was attacked by eight Ju 88s and after a furious battle, managed to shoot down three of the attackers, scoring an additional three "possibles", before crash-landing at Praa Sands, near Penzance. In the aftermath of these two actions, all BOAC flights from Lisbon were subsequently re-routed and operated only under the cover of darkness.[36]
The news of Howard's death was published in the same issue of The Times that reported the "death" of Major William Martin, the red herring used for the ruse involved in Operation Mincemeat.[37]
The tragedy rendered Howard the first leading cast member from Gone with the Wind to die.
Theories regarding the air attack
A long-standing hypothesis states that the Germans believed that British Prime Minister Winston Churchill, was on board the flight.[38] Churchill, in his autobiography, expressed sorrow that a mistake about his activities might have cost Howard his life.[39] The BBC television series "Churchill's Bodyguard" (original broadcast 2006) suggested that (Abwehr) German intelligence agents had learned of Churchill's proposed departure and route. Churchill's bodyguard, Detective Inspector Walter H. Thompson later wrote that Churchill, at times, seemed clairvoyant about threats to his safety, and, acting on a premonition, changed his departure to the following day.
Speculation by historians also centred on whether British code breakers had decrypted top secret Enigma messages outlining the assassination plan, and Churchill may have wanted to protect the code breaking operation so the Oberkommando der Wehrmacht would not suspect that their Enigma machines were compromised. German spies (who commonly watched the airfields of neutral countries), may then have mistaken Howard and his manager, as they boarded their aircraft, for Churchill and his bodyguard, as Howard's manager Alfred Chenhalls physically resembled Churchill, while Howard was tall and thin, like Thompson. Although the overwhelming majority of published documentation of the case repudiates this theory, it remains a possibility. The timing of Howard's takeoff and the flight path were similar to Churchill's flight, making it easy for the Germans to have mistaken the two flights.[40]
Two books focusing on the final flight, Flight 777 (Ian Colvin, 1957), and In Search of My Father: A Portrait of Leslie Howard (Ronald Howard, 1984), concluded that the Germans deliberately shot down Howard's DC-3 to assassinate him, and demoralize Britain.[20][41] Howard had been travelling through Spain and Portugal lecturing on film, but also meeting with local propagandists and shoring up support for the Allies. The British Film Yearbook for 1945 described Leslie Howard's work as "one of the most valuable facets of British propaganda".[42]
The Germans could have suspected even more surreptitious activities, since Portugal, like Switzerland, was a crossroads for internationals, and spies, from both sides. British historian James Oglethorpe, investigated Howard's connection to the secret services.[43] Ronald Howard's book explores the written German orders to the Ju 88 squadron, in great detail, as well as British communiqués that verify intelligence reports indicating a deliberate attack on Howard. These accounts indicate that the Germans were aware of Churchill's real whereabouts at the time and were not so naive as to believe he would be travelling alone on board an unescorted, unarmed civilian aircraft, which Churchill also acknowledged as improbable. Ronald Howard was convinced the order to shoot down Howard's airliner came directly from Joseph Goebbels, Minister of Public Enlightenment and Propaganda in Nazi Germany, who had been ridiculed in one of Leslie Howard's films, and believed Howard to be the most dangerous British propagandist.[20]
Most of the 13 passengers were either British executives with corporate ties to Portugal, or lower-ranking British government civil servants. There were also two or three children of British military personnel.[20] The bumped passengers were the teenage sons of Cornelia Stuyvesant Vanderbilt: George and William Cecil, who had been recalled to London from their Swiss boarding school. Being bumped by Howard saved their lives. William Cecil is best associated with his ownership and preservation of his grandfather George Washington Vanderbilt's Biltmore estate in North Carolina. William Cecil described a story in which he met a woman, several months after his return to London, who said she had secret war information, and used his mother's phone to put in a call to the British Air Ministry. She told them that she had a message from Leslie Howard.[44]
A 2008 book by Spanish writer José Rey Ximena[45] claims that Howard was on a top-secret mission for Churchill to dissuade Francisco Franco, Spain's authoritarian dictator and head of state, from joining the Axis powers.[46] Via an old girlfriend, Conchita Montenegro,[46] Howard had contacts with Ricardo Giménez Arnau, a young diplomat in the Spanish Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Further circumstantial background evidence is revealed in Jimmy Burns's 2009 biography of his father, spymaster Tom Burns.[47] According to author William Stevenson in A Man called Intrepid, his biography of Sir William Samuel Stephenson (no relation), the senior representative of British Intelligence for the western hemisphere during the Second World War,[48] Stephenson postulated that the Germans knew about Howard's mission and ordered the aircraft shot down. Stephenson further claimed that Churchill knew in advance of the German intention to shoot down the aircraft, but allowed it to proceed to protect the fact that the British had broken the German Enigma code.[49] Former CIA agent Joseph B. Smith recalled that, in 1957, he was briefed by the National Security Agency on the need for secrecy and that Leslie Howard's death had been brought up. The NSA claimed that Howard knew his aircraft was to be attacked by German fighters and sacrificed himself to protect the British code-breakers.[50]
The 2010 biography by Estel Eforgan, Leslie Howard: The Lost Actor, examines currently available evidence and concludes that Howard was not a specific target,[51] corroborating the claims by German sources that the shootdown was "an error in judgement".[36] There is a monument in San Andrés de Teixido, Spain, dedicated to the victims of the crash. Howard's aircraft was shot down over the sea north of this village.[52]
Howard did not publish an autobiography, although a compilation of his writings, Trivial Fond Records, edited and with occasional comments by his son Ronald, was published in 1982. This book includes insights on his family life, first impressions of America and Americans when he first moved to the United States to act on Broadway, and his views on democracy in the years prior to and during the Second World War.
Howard's son and daughter each published memoirs of their father: In Search of My Father: A Portrait of Leslie Howard (1984) by Ronald Howard, and A Quite Remarkable Father: A Biography of Leslie Howard (1959) by Leslie Ruth Howard.
Estel Eforgan's Leslie Howard: The Lost Actor is a full-length book biography published in 2010.
Leslie Howard: A Quite Remarkable Life, a film documentary biography produced by Thomas Hamilton of Repo Films, was shown privately at the NFB Mediatheque, Toronto, Canada in September 2009 for contributors and supporters of the film. Subsequently, re-edited and retitled "Leslie Howard: The Man Who Gave a Damn", the documentary was officially launched on 2 September 2011 in an event held at Leslie Howard's former home "Stowe Maries" in Dorking, and reported on BBC South News the same day.[53] Lengthy rights negotiations with Warners then delayed further screenings until May 2012, although the situation now appears to have been resolved and Repo Films now intends to enter the film into various International Film Festivals.

Radio career
Howard was not only an accomplished actor on stage and screen, he appeared many times on radio as well. Howard began his career on radio in the early 1930s when he performed dramatic readings for The Yardley Program. Not much is known about the program because the recordings have been lost, but references to the show can be found in fan magazines of the time[60] and the show is listed in The New York Times radio program guide.[61] Howard was also a guest performer on such shows as The Rudy Vallee Show/Fleischmann's Yeast Hour, Lux Radio Theatre, The Silver Theatre, The Magic Key of RCA, Your Hit Parade and Kraft Music Hall with Bing Crosby.
In May, 1935, Leslie Howard and his daughter, Leslie Ruth Howard, aged 10, appeared on The Rudy Vallee Show/Fleischmann's Yeast Hour in "The Enchanted Forest" scene from James M. Barrie's Dear Brutus. The show was so popular with audiences that for the first time in the show's history an encore was performed six weeks later on 27 June 1935. That show survives and can be heard on the Old Time Radio Library's website.[62]
At the end of 1936 Howard began appearing as a guest on Eddie Cantor's Texaco Town. It took six months and three appearances before he and Cantor finally delivered the punch line in the skit "Three Pairs of Rubbers." Howard's appearances were not limited to guest spots. Beginning in October 1935 and into the spring of 1936 Howard had his own show on CBS. It was a serial titled The Amateur Gentleman.[63] The show eventually became Leslie Howard's Matinee[64] with each week bringing a new adapted play popular at the time to radio listeners. Howard also appeared in Columbia Presents Shakespeare as Benedick in the play Much Ado About Nothing with Rosalind Russell in the summer of 1937.[65] Howard produced two shows for Lux Radio Theatre: Lady for A Day, starring May Robson and Guy Kibbee, and The Life of Emile Zola, starring Paul Muni and Josephine Hutchinson. His last known radio appearance in the United States before returning to England to help with the war effort was the Radio Tribute to the King and Queen in which dozens of British stars performed skits while King George VI and Queen Elizabeth listened with President Roosevelt and Mrs. Roosevelt from Hyde Park.[66][67] Howard's appearances on the BBC's Britain Speaks were broadcast to the United States from July 16, 1940, after the onset of WWII urging America to enter the war in support of Britain. By January 1941 Howard had completed 27 broadcasts of Britain Speaks.[68] Howard also appeared on a panel program for the BBC called The Brains Trust.
Unfortunately, most of Howard's radio broadcasts have been lost but a few have survived for the enjoyment of audiences today.

- ↑ It is known that Leslie Howard appeared on Rudy Vallee's show sometime in 1933 or 1934 because he made a reference to his appearance on the show that aired on 14 February 1935 stating he had been there "a year ago." Two pictures exist, the first with Howard, Margaret Sullavan, William Gargan and Rudy Vallee standing in front of the audience holding scripts and the second picture with Howard, Sullavan and Vallee standing with scripts in front of an NBC microphone. It is unlikely that Howard appeared on the 16 November 1933 show when Margaret Sullavan appeared because he had appeared in This Side Idolatry in London during October, 1933, and wouldn't have been in the United States at that time. Also, Howard is not introduced as part of the cast on that show. The other show Margaret Sullavan appeared on in the right timeframe aired 14 June 1934. This was Episode 243 "Coquette" and is lost. Episode listings, however, show guests as: Willie and Eugene Howard, not Leslie Howard.

- ↑ Show began on 6 October 1935 as a serial, The Amateur Gentleman. Each week brought a new episode of that story. However, the format was changed to present a new play adapted for radio each week beginning 8 December 1935. Play titles appeared in The New York Times, Radio Program Section.

Alexander Wilson was born in Renfrewshire, Scotland; he was removed from school at the age of ten and from the age of thirteen worked as a weaver. For three years Wilson traveled as a peddler, selling, among other items, his poems. He contributed to The Glasgow Advertiser and The Bee. After engaging in a dispute with some master weavers Wilson was suspected of treason and emigrated to America in 1794. He worked as a schoolmaster in Pennsylvania and New Jersey before undertaking the work that made him famous, his American Ornithology.

Elsewhere in the house, a gloxinia is hibernating. A cactus I've owned for 23 years is probably alive, although I must admit it's hard to tell. A terrarium lives in a fog. Outside, the ground of a postage stamp backyard contains more than fifty plants I have buried in the rented soil.
I enjoy gardening, but I'm not sure why. Not that it matters much on a rented plot in a shoehorned development in a cold climate, where the chance to really create a garden is fairly limited, but I still think about the day when I'll have more of an opportunity for this sort of growth.
Part of it, of course, is the aesthetic beauty of the plants as they grow. In our home in Allentown, we created a beautiful perennial garden in front of the house, and we kept all sorts of plants in different parts of the backyard. This wasn't exactly a cultivated beauty - in some sense it resembled what happens when I go the supermarket without a perfectly defined list of items to buy. Some purple here, some red there, grasses here, bulbs there, and a motley arrangement of vegetables. Blueberry bush. Aravah bushes. Mint. Horseradish. Oakleaf hydrangea. Impulse purchases galore. But yes, they were attractive to the eye, or to my eye at any rate. Colors and textures and curving silhouettes...
Part of it was the gratification of seeing a result to my labors. I was never that good about fertilizing the soil, but I did the rest of it, from mulch to weeding to watering, and it paid off. Who wouldn't feel satisfaction at crocuses poking up from the soil, or berries emerging on a branch? Certainly, the plants were doomed to an ultimate death, but as Rabbi Akiva said, we celebrate at the time of celebration, and at that moment the effort is worthwhile, more than justified.
And, of course, one could connect this gardening to Torah sources and the redeeming value of working the soil and producing with one's hands. Adam and Chavah. Kayin and Hevel. Noach. Lemech's kids. The sin of the Tower of Bavel, per Ibn Ezra, was a desire to leave the land and move to the city.
And then those first, wonderfully agrarian Hebrews. Ever since rural Avraham declared his suspicion of those big-city Egyptians, the Jew has not trusted a life apart from the soil. Even in our most urban days, even in the beis medrash and synagogue, we understood where the Jew's true display of emunah [Shabbat 31a] was. We knew that Seder Zeraim was calling us, with its myriad complex laws, its kilayim and tithes and offerings and so on, of which much more should be written here. [Note: The suspicion of city life existed beyond the beis medrash. Many Jews who would never crack open a sefer agreed with the patronizing 18th century Europeans who said the children of Israel could become civilized if only we were trained properly; our blight had come from centuries of enforced urban life. Was this only out of desire to ingratiate ourselves with the Europeans? Or was it ideological, born in a yearning for the land?]
But I suspect the greatest benefit of gardening for me, back when I really did it, was the enforced distraction. You can't properly tend plants if you are constantly looking at your watch. Or, at least, I couldn't. I needed to detach from everything else, and "be the garden". I tend to get caught up in things, and having a cause that pulled me away from those things - and that demanded pulling away at regular intervals - was good for me. Clears the head, clears the heart, not a bad thing after a week of funerals or classes or whatever. One can accomplish the effect with a daf of gemara, of course, and that's another option, but one needs more than one way to do it.
Nothing deeper than that here; I'm just looking at the orchid, waiting for it to bloom.

My father A"H got real enjoyment from gardening (flowers and sometimes vegetables) in our Staten Island backyards (2 successive houses) for many decades. After I grew up and moved out, he set up some warming lamps in my former bedroom where he kept potted plants over the winter to be planted later in the spring. I believe he wanted to enter Cornell U's ag school in the 1930's but the Depression made that unaffordable.ReplyDelete

I found more info on lamps for plants; it looks like they mimic sunlight to help plants grow indoors.ReplyDelete

I've had the same experience in the garden, and I'd say it's quite different from the place one might go while focusing on daf yomi. Focusing on anything with sufficient attention can indeed crowd out the daily minutiae, and that's important and necessary, but the daf requires the intellect to remain active and engaged, even primary. In the garden, especially if one is weeding or deadheading or something similar, one can let the intellect take a break as well. It's not the only place that can happen, of course, but it is one of them. Stepping outside one's otherwise ceaseless stream of thought is incredibly restorative.ReplyDelete
Thanks. Lamps not a great option here, but I appreciate the research.
Very much agreed.
This is a beautiful post, I wish I could enjoy gardening this time of year. Makes me feel very alive.ReplyDelete
That's why gardening is so therapeutic, you have to drop everything and "be the garden."ReplyDelete

Las Vegas is the last place you'd ever expect to go green. A dizzying buffet of high-rise hotels, boisterous tourists, casinos, clubs, and lights flashing all around, the city of sin is hardly a picture of eco-friendliness.
The CityCenter—the newest addition to the Strip—promises to change this, however. A 76-acre city-within-a-city, the CityCenter will house hotels and residences, restaurants, and a $40 million public fine art program. Currently under construction and scheduled to open its centerpiece building, Aria, by the end of 2009, the CityCenter is destined to be one of the world's largest environmentally sustainable urban communities. Inhabitat reports that the CityCenter is the largest privately financed development in the history of North America vying for U.S. Green Building Council's (USGBC) LEED certification. Indeed, the Center is slated to span 18 million square feet, which Inhabitat says is more square footage than all of the existing LEED-certified buildings combined.
The Center is the product of an $8-billion venture between MGM Mirage and Dubai World, and the goal is to make the process as green as possible. The project's developers have enlisted hundreds of consultants to ensure a sustainable approach to the project, and the MGM Mirage has educated over 10,000 construction workers and craftsmen on green building techniques. Other green bullet points include recycling construction waste, employing eco-sustainable materials, emphasizing natural lighting throughout, and incorporating materials from the imploded Boardwalk Hotel, which once stood where the CityCenter soon will. Also noteworthy is the MGM Mirage's implementation of custom designed low-flow water fixtures, which will help save some 76 millions gallons of water per day.
Having recently returned from a long weekend in Vegas, which I enjoyed (I'll even go so far as to say a bit too much) but nonetheless came out of feeling overwhelmed by the overbuilt indulgence of it all, part of me cringes at the thought of seeing yet another set of oversized buildings pierce the skyline. But then I'm reminded that if the CityCenter weren't being built, chances are that some other building would be going up in its place, and that building wouldn't necessarily have green in mind. So I look forward to seeing what this venture brings to Vegas and can only hope that all future projects will follow its, um, LEED.

Area of Life
Boating is an outdoors sport that takes place on lakes (natural or man-made), oceans, and rivers all around the world. Boating is usually open to the public on state owned property or can be done on privately owned property. In either of these cases, permission or even a fee may be required for their use. Boating is primarily considered a summer activity in Montana, but can be enjoyed year round in other areas where weather permits.
The equipment involved to partake in this activity is both vast and costly. Not only do you need the boat, but you also need a vehicle that is big and strong enough to pull the trailer that your equipment is on. There are also many requirements that need to be obeyed before you have some fun in the sun. These include licensing and registration, certain equipment is required to be on board at all times, maintenance needs to be kept up, and responsible operation and control in emergencies are also major requirements. With so many rules and regulations, boating proves to be an expensive activity which requires an immense amount of responsibility. Boating usually consists of at least a two person party. However one person may go alone for purposes such as fishing.
Boating is an activity that many people have been fortunate enough to partake in. It can server as a form of exercise, and can allow fun for others in the sport of wakeboarding and water skiing. The travel that is involved with this activity can be a great time in itself. People may have had the opportunity to travel to different states. Boating gives many family's an opportunity to spend some quality time together. One element that has begun to put a damper on the amount of boating for many family's is the immense increase in gas prices over the past few years. Yet, boating continues to be an exciting activity that allows people to enjoy themselves and get away from the stresses and worries of the everyday life.
Juridic Controls
Although boating seems to be a carefree activity, underlying that picture perfect exterior is an "ocean" of rules and regulations that are to be followed at all times. A list of these is as follows:
It is unlawful to operate a boat while under the influence of drugs or alcohol. There is certain equipment that needs to be in the boat at all times while in use. This includes fuel tank(s), a horn of some sort, navigation lights for travel between dusk and dawn (a red light on the port (left) side, green on the starboard (right) side, and a white light that is visible in all directions), a flashlight, a Coast Guard approved PFD (personal flotation device) for each person in the boat, a fire extinguisher, a paddle or an oar, and also, if needed, a navigation unit. A child 12 years and younger must wear a PFD at all times while in a boat.
When participating in boating activities keep in mind some of these guidelines that are required in Montana. A child that is 12 years or younger cannot operate a motorized boat unless someone 18 years or older is on board. From the age of 13 it is required to have a valid Montana motorboat operator's certificate, which can be obtained from an online course. You must be 18 years or older to rent a motorized boat. If pulling a person on a wakeboard or other device, the person being pulled must have on a certified PFD. Also there must be an additional person in the boat with the driver to observe the person out on the water.
Montana law also prohibits driving within 100 feet of other boats or skiers, as well as driving at high speeds that enable the driver to stop efficiently in the case of an emergency.
There are many rules for boating, some being enforced on the boat, and others in the water. Boats should be launched and loaded at the appropriate areas provided for them. It is illegal to dump wastes such as garbage or sewage into the water, designated waste disposal areas are often provided. When fueling the boat on the water the operator must be sure to allow no gasoline to spill into the water or in the boat to avoid any unwanted fires and pollution. Boats cannot emit sounds greater than 86 decibels measured at a distance of 50 feet.
Boaters must stay at least 200 ft away from a "diver down" flag, 20 ft away from designated swimming areas, 75 ft away from someone else engaged in hunting or fishing activities, and 50 ft from a swimmer in the water. These are the rules enforced and designated my Home Land Security. It may seem there are too many rules on boating, which may be frustrating and make the event itself not as enjoyable. Yet, these rules and regulations are for your safety and your fellow companions. Boating can be a dangerous activity and if accidents or injuries happen they are to be reported to the local sheriff.
All boats are required to be registered within the particular state's guidelines. In Montana all boats 12 ft and longer are required to be licensed and registered in order to operate. Crafts exempt from this include manually propelled and government owned boats. Out-of-state boats need a special registration for the desired state if there stay consists of more than 90 days. In Montana, boat owners must obtain a certificate of ownership (title) and certificate of number (which lists the boat's registration, decal, hull and title numbers) and pay all fees to the County Treasurer in the county where the owner resides. The certificate of number must be carried on board the boat and be available for inspection whenever the boat is in operation.
Every boat MUST be registered. The registration number must be painted or attached to the bow. The registration numbers need to read from left to right, be at least 3 inches in height and still be readable when the craft is in the water. The color of the decals must be a contrast color of the boat and there must be a space or hyphen between the MT and the number the boat is registered under. Capacity plates also need to be placed in the boat near the steering wheel and on the trailer that is hauling the equipment. The plates in the boat tell the maximum horse power recommended for the boat, the maximum allowable weight of persons on board in pounds, and the maximum carrying weight of the vessel in pounds. On the trailer, a label providing the maximum weight that can be hauled, the trailer ID number, and the specific weight certain tires can haul.
As with most sports, safety and common courtesy is a big rule that should be followed to make boating a pleasurable experience for everyone involved. Being cautious, having the correct safety equipment, obeying the implied rules and regulations, and respecting to other boaters make this activity an exciting experience.
You can find all of these rules and regulations online or in books and pamphlets that each state has available. In Montana they can be found at Fish, Wildlife, and Parks facilities and other places such as the courthouse or boating outfitters and suppliers. Punishments are put in place for those who do not wish to comply with these fairly simple, rules can be fined up to $500.00 or sentenced up to 6 months in jail. Also boating licenses can be revoked and a person's privileges of participating in this activity can be taken away from them.
Burden of Juridic Load
The rules and regulations described above are only a handful of the restrictions placed on the boating community. The main focus is on the basics that are to be followed while participating in the activity. Many other laws are made on towing, how certain activities while boating are to be done, unloading and loading your boat and so forth. The boating rules and regulations may frustrate humans, yet they provide a safe and fun experience for everyone. After a while, the rules become second nature and you just follow them to get the most satisfaction out of participating in any activity. The whole idea of boating is fun. Follow the rules and compliances; watch out for yourself and the others around.
How to Escape These Controls
One way to escape such controls, or lighten the the burden would be not going boating at all because there would be rules almost everywhere you go. The one exception would be boating on a private lake on private property. So unless boating on private lake, a person should obey the laws. However, a person could still choose to break the rules at his/her own risk, but if caught, the consequences are great.

Holiday is when everything is too good to resist. During holiday, the temptations are everywhere especially the food. Is diet possible during holiday? Here are some tips how to stay eat healthy
Set realistic expectations
During holiday, perhaps we have to focus more on maintaining weight instead of losing weight.
Portion control
The art of diet is to enjoy your favourite food in moderation. You can eat what you want but control the portion size. Remember this: eat small & frequent. You also can share with your partner. Sharing is caring.
Don't go easy on fibre
Even though you are on holiday, it doesn't mean your diet on holiday as well. We always forget our vital nutrient, fibre while we on vacation. Fibre makes meal more satisfying and helps you to control hunger. Include fruit, vegetables or whole grain product wherever it is possible. Extra point, these foods provide antioxidants and vitamin to lower your risk to get sick.
Plain water
When you are on vacation or travel, your body will easily get dehydrate. Bring plain water with you everywhere you go.
Cut calorie from your drink
Choose no calorie drink such as coffee, tea or lime juice with no sugar. If you still curb for sweet beverages go for diet soda. Unfortunately, there is no alternative for alcohol. What you have to do is again drink in moderation.
Stay active
While you are on holiday, you must be doing a lot of fun thing such as hiking, travelling, swimming or any adventurous activities. So, stay active even shopping requires you to walk a lot. Don't forget your running shoes so that you still can go for jog if you don't have any activities.

Increase your protein: Research has shown that a diet with lean protein and reduced carbohydrates reduces overall belly fat. Salmon salad anyone? Yummy!
Reduce added sugar: Did you know that the average American consumes about 20 teaspoons of sugar a day? Most of this comes from processed foods like soda, bread, cereal, etc. That adds up to 325 or more added calories a day. Too much sugar also slows your metabolism. Skip that soda and grab a nice glass of water with a lemon wedge instead.
Don't skip all fat: Remember to include healthy fats in your diet. They will make you feel full and add the flavors that you usually crave. Eat the foods that are rich in monounsaturated fats like olive oil, nuts and avocados.
Now that you know the basics, here is a yummy recipe I found that incorporates these principles:
Key West Chicken-Avocado Sandwiches
|1 c mashed Florida AVOCADO (MUFA), about 1 med
1 Tbsp freshly squeezed limejuice (about 1/2 lime)
1/2 tsp Tabasco green pepper sauce, optional
1 c baby spinach
10 oz grilled or roasted chicken breast, sliced (I used Jamaican seasoning)
1 mango, peeled, pitted, and sliced (about 1 c)
4 whole wheat sandwich thins
Combine avocado, lime juice, and green pepper sauce, if using, in small bowl. Spread top and bottom halves of rolls with 2 tablespoons each of the avocado-lime mixture.
Layer 1/4 cup of the spinach, one-quarter of the chicken, and 1/4 cup of the mango on bottom halves. Top with other halves of rolls.
Makes 4 servings.
See what fun ideas you can come up with. Have fun getting a flatter belly starting today. Until next time, have a safe, happy and healthy week ahead.

How the Sopranos of Wall Street Just Took Us for $5 Billion in "Rent"
Wow, let's give giant "kudos" today to journalist Gretchen Morgenson, researcher Alain Delaquérière, and the New York Times, where those two hang their investigative journalist hats.
If you didn't catch the Business Day section in the Sunday Times yesterday, Gretchen just blew the lid off something that's been going on for years but has managed to be tucked away so well it's hardly ever seen the light of day.
If you've been paying any attention to what happens on Wall Street, you're probably not even going to be surprised.
Shocked, yes, but surprised? No.
It's only costing us about $5 billion this time around…
The Federal Reserve, which oversees – that means "regulates" – big banks has managed to not overlook, but oversee to it that banks (I'm talking about the "Sopranos" of Wall Street) that aren't supposed to own non-financial assets are allowed to own non-financial assets.
Here's the thing. If you let big banks with all that clout and control over Congress and their regulators (that's called "regulatory capture") own non-financial assets, with their power and control, they could get out of control and take over the free world. No, not take it over to run it. Take over free markets to run up their profits and bonus pools.
It's been happening, and in the worst way. Gee, what a surprise.
Gretchen's article was about how Goldman Sachs bought Metro International Trade Services for $550 million in 2010, in order to effectively control the warehousing of aluminum, which happens in Detroit, Mich.
Detroit? Goldman Sachs is there in Detroit and running a business, and the city is bankrupt?
Yep, that's because Goldman's 27 industrial warehouses in Detroit don't hire a lot of people, because they don't need to. It turns out they have just a small force of truck drivers and warehouse employees who load the aluminum stored there on trucks that go, get this, back and forth between their own warehouses. Loading the stuff here, unloading it there, then moving some from there to over here. In other words, they "daisy chain" aluminum.
Since Goldman took over the warehouses, the delivery time for aluminum from their warehouses has gone from six weeks to 16 months!
Things are slow for a reason.
Goldman collects rent on the aluminum in its warehouses, to the tune of $250 million a year. The longer it sits in their warehouses, the more rent they collect and the longer it takes to get from their clutches to the end users – folks like car manufacturers and soda bottlers.
Here's the rub. The stuff can't just sit there in the warehouses. That'd be illegal. The London Metals Exchange, which makes up the rules for storing metals that are traded on their exchange, says stuff can't be warehoused away because that would allow folks to corner the market for metals. If you're a trader, you can't buy the stuff and lock it up and keep buying more and lock it up to raise the price. That's manipulation. You just can't do it.
Unless you're Goldman Sachs, or JPMorgan Chase, or Citigroup, or Barclays (you get the picture)…
Back to what Goldman is doing. They're moving the aluminum around because the LME says you can't just sit on it. So, they move it, back and forth. Technically, that's not sitting on it. So it's perfectly legal. And incredibly profitable.
According to the NYT article, this little game has cost American consumers $5 billion over the last three years.
Oh, about the LME, and why aren't they all over Goldman? Because, you guessed it, Goldman, along with the other usual suspects, are members of the London Metals Exchange. And… the LME gets a 1% vig on all the rent collected.
The story here is that Goldman is allowed, by the Fed and the SEC and Congress, to own these warehouses in order to get around rules governing storing metals to prevent price manipulation to manipulate the price of aluminum higher, which costs us all more.
They, this time Goldman, JPMorgan and Blackrock, now want to do the same thing with copper. The three houses have approval to buy up 80% of the world's copper – an even more crucial commodity – on behalf of "investors" and hold it in warehouses.
Are they doing it with other stuff? You bet your bottom dollar they are.
Here's the thing. If you control the conduits, like pipelines and tankers, and you control the storage facilities for commodities and finished industrial products, you can manipulate prices.
Now, in case you don't get the whole picture, in which case, smack yourself… the big banks trade all this stuff. Gold, silver, oil, gasoline, commodities, you name it, they trade it. And just to prove to yourself that you're not stupid, what's the purpose of trading?
Ah, that would be to make money.
The whole bloody game is rigged.
There's only one way out.
Know what it is?

Public sector employment has risen every year from 1998 and in June 2005 it reached 5,846,000. This was an increase over the period of 11.6%. The private sector increase was 5.7%. The figures are published in report from the Office for National Statistics, 'Public Sector Employment Trends 2005'. The savings required by the Gershon efficiency review which recommended cuts in the civil service and other back-office jobs across the public sector appear to have stopped the growth trend.A recent survey by the Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development found that there are employers in the public sector who expect to employ more staff, but these increases are entirely offset by those expecting to employ fewer people. In the current year local councils intend to make efficiency gains exceeding 1.1 billion pounds according to a survey by the Chartered Institute of Public Finance and Accountancy. Over half of the efficiencies are being sought from individual service departments such as Social Services, and the remainder from activities either supporting or cutting across several direct services to the public.
The report from the Office for National Statistics also provides a profile of the public sector workforce. Women make up 65 per cent of workers compared to 41 per cent of private sector workers. Around 30 per cent of public sector workers worked part-time, compared with 24 per cent of private sector workers. The public sector workforce is older than the private sector workforce. Some 72 per cent of public sector workers were aged 35 and over compared with 62 per cent of private sector workers. Public sector workers are more likely to stay longer with their employers.

For the production of wood based panels, fluctuations in panel thickness and deviations from nominal values reduce quality. Your customers will identify these as product defects.
Due to their highly developed technology, the new Thickness Gauges DMR 6000 and DML 6000 by GreCon provide the necessary information for the fine-tuning of production processes to increase system availability and output.
The new thickness gauges by GreCon are based on tried and tested measuring principles. Measurements with the DML 6000 are non-contact using an optical laser. For measurements with the DMR 6000, high-precision rollers contact the material and convert thickness variations into vertical motion within the transducer.
New Features and Benefit
- Production control within precise tolerance limits
- Temperature-resistant frame
- Quick and timely recognition of quality deviations
- Display of effects of changes in the production (intentional or unintentional)
- Display of optimisation potentials
- Reduction of costs by minimising excess material required to be added for sanding (0.1 mm 0.8% material)
- Ensures high system availability
- Measuring System Analysis according to MSA, type-1 study
- Quick press adjustment to new products

This is an elearning free session that lasts one hour. No need to step out of your office to attend!
The class includes a presentation as well as a 10-minute long Q&A session.
Introduction to descriptive statistics - 1 hour
Data analysis tools can be grouped into several categories, each category aiming at answering a certain type of questions associated to a certain type of data. Descriptive statistics allow to summarize information contained in datasets using simple numbers such as the mean or the standard deviation; and charts such as box plots and scatter plots. This Webinar presents descriptive statistical features with applications using the XLSTAT statistical software.
- A few definitions: descriptive statistics, variable, individual
- Describing one qualitative variable: mode, flat sorting, pie charts
- Describing the link between two qualitative variables: cross tabulation (contingency table)
- Describing one quantitative variable: mean, standard deviation, median, quartiles, box plots
- Describing the link between one quantitative variable & one qualitative variable: multiple box plots
- Describing the link between two quantitative variables: scatter plot
- 1 quantitative var. x 1 quantitative var. x 1 qualitative var.: scatter plot with colored points

How Empires Justify War
Empires – almost by definition – fight imperial wars to gain land and resources.
But if they admitted to their citizens what they were up to, people wouldn't be that excited in sacrificing their families' blood and treasure to fight a series of wars.
So empires always pretend that they're being attacked … and they are simply fighting to defend themselves.
The ancient Roman leaders whined, "But we have to protect ourselves!" And every empire has done it since.
Nazi leader Hermann Goering explained at his Nuremberg trial:
Why of course the people don't want war … But after all it is the leaders of the country who determine the policy, and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship … Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is to tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same in any country.
The same is true in America today. For example, FBI agents and CIA intelligence officials, a top constitutional and military law expert, Time magazine, the Washington Post and others have all said that U.S. government officials "were trying to create an atmosphere of fear in which the American people would give them more power". Indeed, the former Secretary of Homeland Security Tom Ridge admitted that he was pressured to raise terror alerts to help Bush win reelection.
The threat from Al Qaeda – while real – has been greatly exaggerated. Former U.S. National Security Adviser Zbigniew Brzezinski – also a top foreign policy advisor to President Obama – told the Senate that the war on terror is a "a mythical historical narrative". (And statistics arguably show that many terror attacks are actually carried out by non-Muslims.)
Indeed, every empire exaggerates the mortal threat from its enemies. For example:
- Dick Cheney and Donald Rumsfeld made false claims exaggerating the threat posed by Russia's weapons in the 1970s to justify huge increases in military spending.
- There is a mountain of evidence that government officials intentionally lied about Iraqi WMDs
- The U.S. Navy's own historians now say that the sinking of the USS Maine — the justification for America's entry into the Spanish-American War — was probably caused by an internal explosion of coal, rather than an attack by the Spanish.
- It is also now well-accepted that the Gulf of Tonkin Incident which led to the Vietnam war was a fiction (confirmed here).
- Two lies were used to justify the 1991 Gulf War: the statement that Iraqis murdered Kuwaiti babies and the statement that a quarter of a million Iraqi troops were massed on the border with Saudi Arabia (see also this article)(technically, the statement about Kuwaiti babies did not come from the U.S. government, but from a public relations firm hired by the government).
Another common tactic for pretending the empire is being attacked is launching a false flag attack. If you haven't learned about this 2,000-year old trick, you can't even begin to understand empire and war.
Whipping up a state of hysterical fear is vital for the empire to manipulate its people. And a necessary part of process of beating the war drums is to demonize the enemy … and pretend he is a bloodthirsty beast.
If the people stop being afraid of one enemy, the empire needs to find a more suitable boogeyman.
But that doesn't mean that the empire has to be consistent … if it can distract the population, it can switch allegiances as it wishes.
