I can take absolutely no credit for this brilliant little idea.
Arriving at a breakfast yesterday morning,
(for moms celebrating a bit of freedom
with children returning to school)
my eye went straight to the center of the kitchen island.
There surrounded by yummy pastries and breakfast delights
was this adorable arrangement.

How perfectly fitting for the event.

The Valdosta Daily Times
-- —
The new Academy Sports & Outdoors will be open in time for Christmas shopping this year, as the developer announced plans for the store and other retailers on Friday.
Andrew Mattiace, president of Mattiace Properties, said as the preferred developer for Academy Sports, the land purchase will be final this week and construction will begin as soon as possible on the 71,680 square foot retail store.
Academy Sports will be located on a parcel of land inside a larger development planned for the property on Norman Drive, across from Sam's Club. Mattiace's company has the option to purchase additional acres from the owners, Meacham Farms, for the development of phases two and three, with plans for at least two more phases beyond that.
"Phase one is Academy Sports, and we have adjacent stores set to open in 2013, with four additional retailers," said Mattiace."We're considering two national stores and two restaurants, which will be located on the same parcel as Academy Sports (see map of development on Page 7A)."
Beyond that, Mattiace said his company does have plans for phase three in 2013 or 2014, but said they are preliminary at this time, and there are tentative plans for two additional phases in the future.
Mattiace said his company serves as the "preferred developer" for Academy Sports, and the national retailer is the one who set its sights on Valdosta.
"We'd been looking in Georgia, but also in the Carolinas and Florida, and they were deciding where they wanted to go next. Academy identified Valdosta as a great growth market and the site was selected," he said.
Mattiace Properties will own the land and construct the building, which will be leased long-term to Academy.
"They're a growing company. Academy's footprint is pretty broad through the West and Southwest, into Tennessee, and is now expanding beyond that into the Southeast."
Mattiace said the company has plans to continue to expand the footprint and grow, with complementary tenants, all of which will be well known national retailers not currently available in this market.
"There is a great potential for further development beyond this, as this sets the stage for bringing in prominent national retailers for this entire site."
He was hesitant about mentioning any names, but did indicate that the stores will be a welcome addition to Valdosta, in line with the ones the community has indicated they'd like to see locate here in previous Times' Business Wish Lists.
Mattiace said that it's important to him to mention how accommodating the city leadership has been throughout the process of acquiring the land, negotiating, site plan development, etc.
"I found the elected officials and staff, especially the city manager, to be very professional and this has been a very good experience. The city is very pro-economic development, and that means a lot to a development firm."
Mattiace added that the property's owners, attorney Bill Langdale and Jimmy Dewar, partners in Meacham Farms, were "wonderful people and very professional. They were hard traders, but we really enjoyed that relationship."
The initial purchase is 8.48 acres with an option for 15 to 20 additional acres for phases two and three. The entire parcel is nearly 100 acres, and stretches from River St. to Norman Drive, and down to Spring Chase Apartments.
Although there are a number of small parcels between the back of the property and St. Augustine Road, the city has stated previously that one day, it is hoped that they will be able to run a connecting road through this new development to St. Augustine to connect to Lankford Drive.
The city is working on the installation of a traffic signal where the road into the development will align with the driveway at Sam's Club to ensure a smooth flow of traffic.
Academy Sports & Outdoors is a sports, outdoor and lifestyle retailer with a broad assortment of hunting, fishing and camping equipment, leisure products, apparel and more.
Mattiace Properties is located in Jackson, Miss. and has developed similar lifestyle centers, including the recent upscale Renaissance at Colony Park development in Mississippi.

MBT Presents Aquila Theatre's production of The Taming of the Shrew

Part of the 2012-2013 MBT Season
Aquila Theatre breathes fresh life into one of Shakespeare's most challenging comedies. Founded in London and now based in New York City, Aquila has won popular, critical, and academic acclaim worldwide, performing in places as diverse as Carnegie Hall, the Ancient Stadium at Delphi, and the White House. Education programs are an integral part of Aquila's mission; their visit to Bellingham will also include acting workshops at local high schools and WWU.
Set in the idyllic town of Padua, The Taming of the Shrew tells the story of the timeless battle of the sexes. Lord Minola declares that his beautiful younger daughter, Bianca, cannot be courted until her older sister, Katherina, is wed. Katherina's quick temper and acerbic wit frighten off potential suitors, who resort to hiring a newcomer to seduce and "tame" her. The story, with its domestic power plays and controversial depiction of marriage, has been adapted numerous times for stage, screen, opera, and musical theatre, perhaps the most famous being the film 10 Things I Hate About You and Cole Porter's Tony-winning musical Kiss Me, Kate.
  Why We Like It: Shakespeare may be called the "Bard," but we all know he's the original "Dude."

Jobs report gets curiouser and curiouser
- Last Updated: 12:23 AM, October 11, 2012
- Posted: 11:39 PM, October 10, 2012
Did someone rig the unemployment figures last Friday? Former GE head Jack Welch thinks they did, and so does Donald Trump.
A lot of other people probably share that opinion, since the big drop in the jobless rate — from 8.1 percent to 7.8 percent — this close to the election seemed awfully convenient for President Obama.
By the end of this column, you'll have your own opinion that is based on facts rather than just gut instinct and biases. Let's take this step by step to the thrilling end.
Each month the Labor Department does two employment reports: One surveys businesses to see how many new people they've hired, the other is based on contact with 60,000 households.
The households survey asks people if they are still employed, have found work in the past month or have given up looking. It assumes people are being honest in their answers — so I will, too. The surprise 7.8 percent unemployment rate is derived from that survey of 60,000 households, and that's where the controversy erupted last week.
There are some things you need to understand up front: The Census Bureau, and not the Labor Department, conducts the household survey. So if you want to level accusations, aim them at the right federal department.
Surveys with sample sizes of 60,000 are very big and are considered very accurate. Political polling, for instance, is done with scientifically picked samples of just a couple of thousand respondents.
But even when 60,000 households are questioned, a relatively small number of responses can affect the statistics. For instance, each response in the Labor/Census jobless-rate survey represents about 2,500 Americans.
So if only an additional 60 people who were surveyed in September said they had found work, that would have caused a 0.1 percent drop in the jobless rate.
The 0.3 percent drop in the September unemployment rate that was reported Friday meant that 180 additional people said they had found some kind of paid employment.
In other words, small numbers of people can change the perception of the job market. Some think they can even change the outcome of a presidential election.
Where did the Census Bureau get these extra 180 people who found work? Probably among 20- to 24-year-olds. In fact, the acting head of the Bureau of Labor Statistics found this so odd that he put a note in his report saying — without explanation — that an additional 368,000 people between those ages became employed in September.
Gee, weren't they lucky!
All told, there was an increase of 873,000 jobs in the household report, while the survey of employers found only a 114,000 job gain. So, the contribution of people ages 20 to 24 years was significant.

QUESTION: How do I configure the handwheel, the key switch and the illuminated pushbutton on the Mobile Panel 170?
ANSWER: The handwheel, the keyswitch and the illuminated pushbutton can only be configured as DP direct keys on the Mobile Panel 170. In order to use DP direct keys, the Mobile Panel 170 has to be connected to the control via the PROFIBUS-DP. In addition to the configuration of the control parameters with ProTool, the DP direct keys must be configured as DP slave in the S7 hardware configuration.
Notes on configuring the handwheel and an example project are available under entry ID 14612292 - "Evaluation of the handwheel position on the Mobile Panel 170".

One of the coworkers who is a bit...ummm unique would be the best word for her...kept insisting on bringing the cake and was super excited about...all of a sudden out of nowhere she was told the cake was taken care and not to worry about it by the hostess....she complained to me about it, but I just told her not to worry about it maybe the hostess had something else in mind. So this coworker gets offended and decides not to attend...well come to find out she shared with the hostess that she was getting a blank cake so she could decorate it herself and she was going to put a BBQ pit on it...with a baby on top of the pit...I can see now why this task was taken away from her.
This was at my dd 1st birthday. My husbands relatives brought empty containers to bring food home!
From the experience of my own baby shower:
1. Not RSVPing - we asked for regrets only. It's not that hard to pick up a phone and call or text a simple message saying you can't make it/won't be there.
2. Showing up late. I had three guests who were well over an hour late which interrupted the games, so rude! Tardiness is one of my pet peeves.
3. Bringing other people with them without inquiring if it's okay first.
4. Guests who a win prize and then win another one and TAKE IT! I've always declined a second prize and let them give it to the runner-up. (Is this just me? I was so pissed about this one!)

Over the last 8 years we have had the pleasure of seeing quite a few players move on to the next level, academically, and in most cases athletically as well.The bottom line is that these players WANTED to play at the next level, continue their education, and did what was necessary to get there. We will not take credit for placing any player in any program, because we know that would be misleading the people we care about most, our parents and our players, both past and present.Our involvement, was a SMALL part in the process, a decision that really has to be made by the parents, and to a greater degree, the student/athlete themselves.
If you are interested in playing for the Staten Island Orioles for the 2013 season and missed our tryouts, it's still not too late.
Tryouts will be run for a limited time on an individual basis. If you are currently in the 6th grade through your senior year in high school, please request a tryout.
Simply fill out a TRYOUT REQUEST FORM, which is located at the top right corner of the welcome page on our website or email: email@example.com.
A representative will contact you shortly to arrange a workout.

In recent months I've heard more and more reports of rabbis who say they no longer know how to talk with their congregants about Israel. They feel — correctly, as far as I can tell — that our community is deeply divided, and that the divisions extend to the communities within the whole: to wit, the congregations.
How does one address an audience, a portion of which regards "Beware, it is 1938 again!" as an applause line, while the other portion is outraged by what it sees as Israel's persistent provocations? Or perhaps it is into three parts that we are divided — the "Who are we to criticize Israel?" crowd, the "How can we refrain from rebuke when rebuke is warranted?" crowd and a growing number who want the whole matter of Israel to be pushed off-stage, who find it too confounding or too painful to tangle with.
Two parts or three, not necessarily of equal size or equal volume, their public intensity marked and disturbing not only to the rabbis but also to all who call themselves friends of Israel. Who are these others, those who boo while I cheer, those who cheer while I boo? They cannot be the enemy, but they are too blind to be counted as allies, or even as friends.
Relax. There really is a way, after all, to talk to all (or almost all) of us, and that means there is a way for all of us to listen, to comprehend that we are family. That way begins with acknowledgment of the fears we share. It accepts that the vehemence of our public views may well coexist with private pricks of doubt we cannot overcome.
Here's an example, quite personal: I have written and spoken for many years now, since long before the idea had become a mantra for so many, in favor of a two-state solution. In my view, any other conceivable solution spells death to the Jewish state.
But though that is as deep a conviction as I have, I do not think that a two-state solution, even if achieved, will be a picnic. It is riddled with hazards, both in conception and in execution: Where shall the borders of those states be? Shall Jerusalem be divided by an international boundary, or shall anyone who enters it from the new Palestine be able to exit it into Israel? How, if at all, will Palestine's eastern border, its long border with Jordan, be controlled? And how shall the limited water supply be shared between Israel and Palestine? Above all, how shall both the Jewish state and the Palestinian state deal with their own extremists, those who claim that their nation's leaders have stabbed them in the back and those who persist in denying the other's legitimacy?
One can go on, and on, and those whose task it will one day be to negotiate the terms of a solution to the conflict will have to go on, and on, detail by cumbersome and contentious detail. And their agreed-upon responses to those "details" will leave many on both sides dissatisfied, suspicious.
It grieves me to say all that; I wish it were not so. But it is so, and because it is, I cannot scorn those who feel trapped by the details and who therefore conclude that a two-state solution is folly. I am as outraged as they by Palestinian extremism and incitement (though I wish they were as outraged as I by Israeli extremism and incitement), and I share their doubts that a comprehensive peace treaty will put an end to the excesses.
Yet I continue, not out of stubbornness but out of Zionist fidelity, to believe that a Jewish state is ours by right. (That does not make the Palestinians wrong. One definition of tragedy: when two rights collide.) And the only way to preserve and defend that Jewish state is to embrace the independence of a new and viable neighbor: Palestine.
Some say the two-state idea is simply not realistic. But if I am right in my claim that only with two states can there be a Jewish state, those who say that the two-state idea is not realistic are defeatists. Some say the two-state idea is too problematic. Theirs is a three-letter error; scratch the word "too," and they are not wrong.
And then, in any case, there is work to be done now, for the house is truly burning. The escalating conflict between state and religion in Israel is a gathering menace to both. The continuing discrimination against Israel's own Palestinians citizens is an unacceptable affront to Israel's stated ideals and commitments. Can we speak of such things? Or is the Israel we love and cherish all milk, honey, falafel and high-tech entrepreneurs?
The Forward welcomes reader comments in order to promote thoughtful discussion on issues of importance to the Jewish community. In the interest of maintaining a civil forum, the Forward requires that all commenters be appropriately respectful toward our writers, other commenters and the subjects of the articles. Vigorous debate and reasoned critique are welcome; name-calling and personal invective are not. While we generally do not seek to edit or actively moderate comments, the Forward reserves the right to remove comments for any reason.
Well said Leonard. My only fear is that before long this piece will be filled with the same hostile comments as before.
The two-state idea is very realistic. Actually, it's "the only show in town" (it's the only idea that is being seriously considered). The topic that is NOT being discussed is the end of conflict. Will the founding of a Palestinian state end the conflict?
Mr Fein raises the question of extremists "on both sides". It seems to be very PC to make an even-handed presentation of the conflict. So, he mentions in one breath Palestinian extremism and incitement with Israeli extremism and incitement. A Jewish state "is ours by right", but in the same breath we hear that this "does not make the Palestinians wrong". There's this strong tendency not to point a finger of accusation solely at the Palestinians - as if being obviously pro-Israel is some sort of a social "no-no". The only time that Mr Fein can present a criticism only on the one side is when this criticism is focused only on Israel. So, we learn about the conflict of religion and state or about discrimination in Israel - and there's no PC need to balance such things and mention the status of Islam in the Palestinian Authority or the pressures on Christians there. Mr Fein can criticize Israel in her own right - and that's just fine, of course - but, strangely, he can't criticize the Palestinians without mentioning Israel in the very same category. That's PC, not journalism. Palestinian "extremism" won the parliamentary elections, and it is very likely to win the presidency next January. Jewish "extremism" is simply not mainstream at all. Palestinian extremism (let's say the Hamas government in Gaza) wishes to destroy Israel (and world Jewry). An extreme Jewish politician in the Knesset(let's say Lieberman) is on record as accepting a two-state solution. I surely wouldn't present the two phenomena as if they are merely the two sides of a single coin.
Now, if you don't mind, I would like to drop the issues of PC. Let's look at the conflict straight in the face, even if the sad conclusion (heaven help us) places the Palestinians BY THEMSELVES in a negative light. The question is: Will a two-state agreement be the end of conflict? Will the two-state agreement be final? From the point of view of Israeli society, the answer is absolutely "yes". There will be opposition, and there will be protests - but the government will be able to force its policy on the public, and the public will accept the finality of the signed agreement. In my humble understanding of the Palestinian position and sociology, they will not sign an agreement that defines the conflict as "over". They might agree to a two-state arrangement which could include their rule over East Jerusalem, an agreement about the right of refugees, etc - but if the meaning of the treaty is that there are no more grievances against the Jewish people, they will not sign it. They do not speak in terms of an end of conflict, even as they express a willingness to found a Palestinian state next to Israel.
Mr Fein - indeed, the two-state idea is the course we wish to take. It is the best interest of the Jewish people. However, there is a misunderstanding when we say "two-state solution". We (the Jews) understand that the word "solution" means "finality" - the conflict is over. For the Palestinians, the "two-state solution" defines the new basis upon which they wish to continue their national drama. It would be in our terminolgy a "two-state arrangement". Your repeated cry for a two-state solution should be restated as "an end of conflict through a two-state arrangement". And, yes, it is allowed to point fingers at the other side and ask them tough questions. It's perhaps not PC in the liberal Jewish world, but it is necessary in such a life-and-death debate over the future of the Jewish people.
If every time you extend a finger to a cat it bites you what do you think will happen when you extend your hand?
The only thing that will be gained by a two state solution will be providing the Arabs more targets for their missiles and a way station for their goal of conquest.
As I am not a liberal I can only deal in facts. Mel
Why do rabbis in this country feel the need to even discuss these issues? Let rabbis discuss Torah and let everyone else play Secretary of State!
Everyone from Ben Gurion onwards has accepted that Israel doesn't want millions of Arabs voting in Israeli elections. Israel tried to give Gaza back to Egypt, who refused to accept it. Jordan occupies 77% of British mandatory Palestine and Jordan's population is at least 70% Palestinian, so reconnecting the West Bank with Jordan would make sense -- but Jordan renounced her claim years ago. The Palestiian state will soon be ruled by Hamas as a proxy for Iran. Egypt and Jordan must join Israel in giving Palestinians autonomy within existing Arab states.
Mr. Field-That's pretty much Israeli journalist's Benny Morris' assessment in his new book "One State, Two States." He feels an independent PS would turn very quickly into another Zimbabwe as would a binational state. So we're stuck.
The Obama administration has actually undermined the whole peace process. There wasn't much chance that a deal could be finalized even under the best of circumstances, but now there won't even be negotiations. The Palestinians will not negotiate as long as the American government seems to be cold and distant from Israel. Why should they negotiate and obligate themselves when the Americans might force concessions out of Israel for free? Moreover, Israel would only be able to make concessions when she feels that the Americans can be trusted. The White House, for example, has denied the existence of understandings between past administrations and Israel vis-a-vis the settlements. The Americans could have stated honestly that they are changing policy - but they preferred to say dishonestly that there weren't any past understandings at all. Add to all that the fact that Obama didn't visit Israel to speak to our public, while he did visit Egypt and Saudi Arabia and Turkey to speak with their public. Don't hold your breath. There aren't going to be any breakthroughs in the Middle East conflict any time soon. One of the reasons that the Arabs wished to negotiate in the past was the fact that the only superpower is behind Israel. The cold shoulder approach to Israel is a real mistake.

Maybe it's time the Forward permanently bans Alan & Frank from posting.
Pro-Israel Rabbis should urge their congregations to organize and stand up to Israel's enemies. They should be urged to recognize the existential danger to Israel, and honestly assess the Obama Administrations attacks on Israel. They should contact their representatives spread the word that American Jews support Israel, and expect their representatives to do so. They should be told to stand strong and be of good courage - Chazak v'Amatz.
This president is no juggernaut, and American Jews need to stand up now for Israel ,and oppose his administration's attacks on Israel. .... Today, the Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Sunday (today) shows that 29% of the nation's voters now Strongly Approve of the way that Barak Obama is performing his role as President. Forty percent (40%) Strongly Disapprove giving Obama a Presidential Approval Index rating of -11. That's the first time his ratings have reached double digits in negative territory.
Do not despair - it does not have to be 1938.
You have already established that you are a hate filled nudnik, so, don't bother submitting your comments – no one will be reading them.
It is reasonable to expect the Arab oil states, the U.S. and the EU to help defray the cost of resettling those West Bank Israelis who are willing. The others can take their chances as citizens of Palestine.
The short term stability of a peace agreement can be assured by the U.S. and the EU acting as guarantors by stationing troops on the treaty established border – the troops having permission to use all force necessary to suppress treaty violations.
The long term stability of a two-state peace depends on the ability of Israel and of the Palestinians to establish mutually beneficial commercial relations.
Shalom Joel - There might be a guarantee from the international community for a future peace treaty. It's nice, but I wouldn't attach too much importance to it. Since the war in Lebanon three years ago, there is an international presence in the form of a UN force to preserve the conditions of the agreed cease-fire as determined by the UNSC 1701. The Hizbullah (a political party, not a state) is not allowed to be armed, and it's not allowed to have a presence south of the Litani. All this was meant to enable Lebanon to restore government rule over its own sovereign territory. Nothing became of all this. No government in Europe or in America will allow the endangering of its troops in Lebanon by agreeing to confront Hizbullah, so the UN army just looks the other way.
Conflicts come to an end when both sides have decided so. This, of course, is my question vis-a-vis the Palestinians. Do they see a future peace agreement with Israel as "end of conflict"? They will sign a treaty with Israel which might even include the recognition of Israel. Yet, they do not even keep it a secret that the peace treaty will not be seen as final, as "end of conflict". Essentially, this is the source of my overall pessimism. The concessions that Israel will have to make in order to reach an agreement with the Palestinians are concessions that we can make only in the framework of "finality". But the Palestinians cannot promise finality. So, it's hard to believe that a treaty can be reached.
It's hard to understand why you think that "mutually beneficial commercial relations" will bring long-term stability. First of all, the Palestinians have proved again and again that they are willing to pay a very heavy economic price in order to continue the struggle against Israel. Thousands of Palestinians lost their source of income as a result of the intifada, and yet the struggle is very popular. You cannot "bribe" proud people. More importantly, you should take note of the fact that the Arab world is fearful of Israel's economy. They see our society as very dynamic, and they are afraid that peace will bring Israel tremendous economic power and dominance throughout the Arab world. So, have a nice talk with a Palestinian friend, and explain to him that peace will bring "mutually beneficial commercial relations". If he's polite, he'll just tell you simply "no, thank you". If he's less polite, he might use a nice juicy Arabic expression. I can already heard it ringing in my ears.
I know that I'm wasting my time explaining such things. I can't even convince an intellectual American Jew that it's important to know Hebrew. Everyone seems to think that Jewish cultural life in English translation is good enough. So, how could I possibly explain to you that Arabic is also important if you would like to understand the conflict in the Middle East. Not everyone is an English-speaker who sees the world as English-speakers see the world ("mutually beneficial commercial relations"). It's hard to understand that other peoples see the world very differently.
Joel-I liked your very creative, and accurate, description of Frank.
I have read Fein,s article and all the comments posted. As far as I can assertain, and after readind all comments about the American position regarding the Israelie/Palestinian conflict, one salient fact emerges. After many wars and peace proposals, I feel the πalestinians have no real intention to agree to any peace negotiations. They can sit back and allow the Obama administration do the work of presuring the Israelies into giving yjr store away.[ that is if the Israelies accept the pressure].
Dear Yehuda,
Thanks for wasting your time explaining things to a provincial American like me. Forgive me if I am so audacious as to add some facts that you chose to omit.
The Palestinians are no more proud than we Jews. Well educated Palestinians, aware of the recent offenses committed against them by Israeli Jews, are also aware that: most of the Yishuv land was purchased from its legitimate owners; that they were responsible for most of the atrocities of the 1920's; that they aided, abetted and rejoiced over the attacking Arab armies in 1948; that they helped to foment the Six Day and Yom Kippur Wars, and that they carried on the incursions that preceded the invasion of Lebanon. Aware of all this and aware that the welfare of their people requires peace, many of these Palestinian leaders are working to keep their fellows aware of the facts and are working to achieve a peace – witness Yasser Abed-Rabbo, former PLO Minister of Information and Culture and chief Palestinian negotiator at Geneva, Hanna Siniora, Co-CEO of IPCRI and Ghassan Khatib, coeditor of the "bitterlemons" family of internet publications, vice-president for community outreach at Birzeit University and a former Palestinian Authority minister of planning.
The most virulent opponents of a two-state peace are the religious factions, Hamas and Gush Emunim. Fortunately, the Palestinians have for decades been mostly secular. What is to become of Gush Emunim, I don't know.
If it should become obvious to both peoples that their two-state commercial relations with each other are essential to their welfare, the stability of any agreed two-state peace will be assured.
Thanks for your patience,
You wrote, "In recent months I've heard more and more reports of rabbis who say they no longer know how to talk with their congregants about Israel."
The divisions within their congregations threaten to destroy the congregations of these rabbis and threaten their positions of employment. But, these divisions will not evaporate on the basis of the strength of the fear and guilt based propaganda to which their congregants respond.
I think that these rabbis would be best served by giving their congregants the facts, the facts of the history of both sides, all of the facts. And, these facts must include the contemporary facts of the destruction of Palestinian society and the facts of the cost to Israel in lives, in the radical reduction of social services, in the decay of the educational system, in the rising delinquency of Jewish youth, in the rising rate of corruption, and in the falling respect for the law of the state, in general.
With profound respect,
I remember my Russian grandfather railing at the television each time a Jew would speak when I was a child growing up in rural Illinois.
There was something in the way he said the word – JEW – that made it sound like a noxious, subhuman, thing….
I never knew any – until I left Illinois.
At almost 62, I've now lived long enough to see Jews collude in America's courtrooms, planning commissions, school boards and in business and media.
It goes without saying that there is plenty of greed and corruption in the world – but there is something more nefarious going on here between Jews – as the efforts in Reston show us.
I think the most chilling example I've witnessed was in family court between a Jewish attorney and what was supposed to be an independent assessment by a psychiatrist from the Family Clinic which guides judges in custody cases.
The Jewish psychiatrist was persuaded to rule against the mother because she called the Jewish lawyer a 'filthy scumbag'.
The cause and effect was pretty self evident when the psychiatrist taunted the otherwise innocent mom with "what happens to anti semites" ….
The outcome was pretty awful. The two Jews managed to destroy the life of the child – a gentile child – so no matter -
and created a family of VIRULENT JEW HATERS. This event changed the life of 6 people I know very well. Their hatred for Jews is focused and activist.
Over the years, I've witnessed Jews in the ski town of Telluride Colorado collude with board members to increase zoning capacities for Jewish properties on the side of a cliff with no access… and down zone properties which, if developed, would have affected the 'view' of a fellow Jew.
I've seen a Jewish lawyer betray his client in favor of a fellow Jewish plaintiff. I've seen Jewish judges favor Jewish claimants, and I've seen seen two Jewish lawyers gang bang the clueless gentile – again serving their own.
The problem with this evolutionary strategy for a very very ambitious minority – is the backlash.
Victims of these heinous ethnocentric practices NEVER FORGET. And it narrows their focus in life… they are changed by the enormity of the deceit… and by the inability to get anybody to listen or speak up about the practices.
The Telluride Times was owned by a Jew – who refused to print letters about these practices. The community was unable to defend itself from these monsters, because not only did the Jews own the media, they owned the moral high ground….. complaining that we were all neo nazis… jealous, ignorant and DANGEROUS anti semites.
A tag team of Jews buying properties in Aspen had an ongoing scam wherein they bought up properties and then immediately filed suit to void the sale because of 'defects'. They were notorious down at city hall because of how many properties they bought and returned – keeping the commission of course.
Which of course was the point of the purchase. One Jew was the buyer – his partner was a real estate attorney with a crew of contractors whose job it was to inspect the property AFTER the sale and invent costly defects.
The weary sellers usually took back the property and cut their losses rather than hire expensive [and possible Jewish] representation.
Again… everybody knew these two… yet nobody could alert the public because the paper was owned by Jews….. and charges of anti semitism can be highly damaging to any professional reputation.
…. on and on it goes…
America is Sobibor West – with a Jew in every watchtower.
I don't buy the good Jew – bad Jew techniques proffered by the likes of the author above….
Jews know the score… they understand the game.
And yet they are alarmed and aghast each time they witness the evil of their brethren….. "WHO KNEW?"
and yet it continues….
so I am an unapologetic JEW HATER…. I hate ALL OF YA…. I don't want to hear your 'reasoned debate' on the subject.
Jews should be judged as what? — individuals????
Sounds like the intellectual alps — for gentile saps.
I'm rootin for Islam.
Georgann Marks, you foul hate monger, apparently your "Russian grandfather" taught you how to see, but with psychiatric help (largely invented by a Jew) you can probably grow beyond him.
Meanwhile, you're lucky that you no longer live in Illinois, because, as sustained by the U.S. Supreme Court in Beauharnais v. Illinois, 343 U.S. 250, under law Ill. Rev. Stat., 1949, c. 38, § 471 in Illinois it is a crime to "exhibit in any public place any publication which "portrays depravity, criminality, unchastity, or lack of virtue of a class of citizens, of any race, color, creed or religion" which "exposes the citizens of any race, color, creed or religion to contempt, derision, or obloquy."
The most vile anti-Israel and Jew-hating rants imaginable are welcome by the Forward (see above), while pro-Israel comments by actual Jews are DELETED:
Leonard Fein, the Forward's resident far-left anti-Israel propagandist issues his latest offering, this time to legitimize the members of the "Jewish family" who hate and attack Israel. For anyone who has read a number of his screeds, the purpose is always the same, to weaken American Jews' support for Israel.
The attempt to legitimize anti-Israel fanatics like J Street is evident in this latest attempt, along with Obama, to "divide and conquer".
"Relax", we can work it out! Relax while Iran builds its nukes and while Clinton suggests its OK since there will be an American "umbrella", relax when it becomes clear that Obama lied to Jewish Americans about his intentions to prevent a nuclear Iran, relax while Obama excoriates Israel and redefines Jerusalem as a "settlement", relax while the "palestinians" sit back with glee and watch Obama act as their agent, relax while all prior understandings between the US and Israel are repudiated and attempts are made to force Israel into the "Auschwitz borders", relax while the White House and anti-Israel "Jewish" media tries to legitimize George Soros' J Street and attack the Zionist Organization of America, relax while Israel is libeled by far-left haters accusing it of "apartheid" and "colonization" and treating its own citizens as "second class citizens" (a Fein favorite) and "occupation" and every anti-Semitic ruse posing as "anti-Zionism, relax as Fein uses the BIG LIE (claiming that there is a moral equivalence between arab terrorists and patriotic Israelis), relax as anti-Semitism rises along with the "progressive" leftists in America, relax as attacks the Jewish community flounders in finding its footing to resist and confront the most anti-Israel American administration in history. Just "relax" and read the latest "Jewish" Forward's propaganda story attacking Israel.
For "palestinians" the "extremists" are those who would live in peace with the Jewish State of Israel. They have raised from childhood, four generations of Jew-haters. Even the arab citizens of Israel deny the Holocaust, and cheer when Hezbollah bombed (their) country. To the palestinians, an "extremist" is one who sells property to a Jew, or cooperates with the authorities to prevent a terrorist attack. Those "extremists" are murdered by their arab brothers. For Fein, a Jewish "extremist" is one who wants to live his life in all of Jerusalem or one of its Jewish suburbs, which have long been accepted (until Obama/Clinton) to be an expected part of Israel in the final status peace plan. There is in fact no moral equivalence. Palestinians hate and murder. Jews grow, plant, and create. But not in Fein's make-believe world.
Rabbis should be speaking frankly with their congregations about the extremely dangerous situation that the Jewish people find themselves in today because of Iran and the Obama administration.
However, there are a group of "rabbis" who feel much as Fein does. They are the "progressive" lovers of the enemies of the Jewish people, who attack Israel (to the extent they can get away with it given their own political constraints). These political leftists advocate for the "rights" of the arabs who would destroy Israel. Believe it or not, there are "rabbis" who support J Street, and its ilk.
"Rabbis" such as those should be shunned and condemned by American Jews for the quislings that they are.
I've enjoyed reading Leonard Fein's columns over the years, though I often find myself disagreeing with his tone and sometimes with his conclusions. I'd like to comment briefly on this one, w/ the hope that he looks at these reader's postings!
Mr Fein, there seems to be one persistent thread in your columns: that Israel won't survive without a "two-state solution" and so must do everything in her power to make this a reality. However, like you ask yourself and your readers in this column, what if the two-state solution cannot or will not actually happen? Then what?
When you say: "Yes I continue, not out of stubbornness, but out of Zionist fidelity to believe that a Jewish state is ours by right", I fully agree. You need not, and should not add any qualifiers or conditions. Yes, it would be great to have a peaceful Palestinian neighboring state taking up the remaining territory outside of the Jewish areas of Jerusalem and the main settlement blocks. It might even be okay, in theory, in a purely utopian world to cut the borders of Israel so close to the bone that they barely encompass the territory of the 1949 Armistice lines. Though I think you know as well as I do, that in reality this would be such a demoralizing retreat, that the only context in which it would make any sense would be in exchange for full, lasting peace and acceptance.
In other words, you would need real, genuine Arab recognition of Israel in advance, and outreach, at the very least for example, along the lines of Sadat coming to Jerusalem. When the Saudi leadership won't even meet or shake the hand of an Israeli diplomat, that doesn't sound like real acceptance to me. When Fatah keeps the "resistance" option still on the table and doesn't want to recognize the Jewish character of Israel, it's clear that the sort of two-state resolution that we American Jews, Israelis, Zionists are dreaming of is still quite far off. Maybe it's an unrealizable dream.
I think it's our responsibility, in these times, to stay strong. I don't think that the sort of self-blame (J Street approach?) is helpful, and sometimes it seems to me that your columns veer too strongly in that direction.
So here's where I take exception: It's clear, like you say, that the two-state idea is problematic. Though desirable, I strongly disagree that it is absolutely necessary.
Without a perfect peace and a perfect, utopian two-state solution Israel will not evaporate. It will be difficult. But the absence of an immediate solution does not mean that one state in which Jews are a minority is inevitable. We've been through harder times. We have a state by right. We'll find a way. We must defend and support her and we must not prejudge the outcome.

The KPMG International Annual Review focuses on our record of achievement and those who define us as an organization: clients, people and communities.
We will build and sustain our reputation as the best firm to work with by ensuring that our people, our clients and our communities achieve their full potential.
KPMG's Global IFRS Institute provides information and resources to help Board and Audit Committee Members, Executives, Management, Stakeholders and Government Representatives gain insight on the evolving global financial reporting framework.

Mining organizations need to adapt across the mining asset lifecycle, from expansion to closure, as changing economic, political and regulatory environment demand greater flexibility.
The Chemical industry's landscape is changing fast - global companies are developing or launching new products and services – and appear optimistic - setting sights on geographic expansion.

This report provides an analysis of the complex, fragmented and rapidly evolving green tax landscape worldwide. It aims to encourage companies to explore the opportunities of green tax incentives, and to reduce exposure to green tax penalties.

KPMG's International Case Competition (KICC) is a chance for students to challenge yourself to solve a real business issue and an opportunity to meet new people across the globe.
Welcome to these pages which are focused on the European Commission's proposals for the restructuring of the audit market across 27 member states.
Given that auditing is of such vital public interest and plays such a specific role in reinforcing confidence in the capital markets after the financial crisis, any proposals to reform the sector must be carefully thought through.
Clearly, this is a major issue for KPMG, the audit profession as a whole, our clients, the wider business community and many other stakeholders, not just in Europe – but globally as well.
KPMG welcomes a positive agenda for change and recognises that the status quo is not an option. That is why we strongly support measures that aim to improve the relevance and quality of audit and provide for a robust framework for auditor independence and corporate governance.
Whilst there are some aspects of the Commission's proposals that we support, at the same time we believe many are seriously flawed and could have the unintended effect of actually harming audit quality rather than strengthening it.
As drafted, and without significant change, there is a real risk that the proposals could disrupt the audit market, resulting in a significant loss of audit quality, acting as a drag on growth and increasing costs to business.
We welcome the fact that the draft JURI report, released in September has addressed some of our concerns on the initial European Commission proposal such as the removal of the creation of audit-only firms. However we believe that some important elements are still missing from the draft JURI report such as corresponding enhancements to corporate governance, whilst others, such as the mandatory firm rotation proposal, need further debate.
Clearly, there is a continued need for wider discussion to ensure that whatever legislation emerges in relation to the audit market, it provides the right framework and model.
So we now want to take the opportunity to provide an overview of the proposals, their implications and our views on them. On these pages, we examine many of the issues and arguments surrounding audit reform. Links are also provided to the reactions of a range of other parties, and access to various academic studies that have been carried out on different facets of the audit market. We will also seek to update these webpages as the legislative process unfolds.
I hope you will find these pages useful.

Posted 23 April 2007 - 05:24 PM
First of all, I want to emphasize that dining at Bite Club makes for a very pleasant evening. Daniel and his companion Alicia are extremely welcoming. You are served in the living and dining rooms of a "classic five" apartment, with the tables set up like a restaurant. Including my wife and me, there were a total of fourteen diners on the night we visited. The service is pretty professional and very attentive, handled by Daniel, Alicia, and a drafted friend of the house. Plan on a long night. IIRC, our meal had five proper courses, two amuses/palate cleansers, a cheese course, and three desserts. There's a wine pairing with every course-- it was more than I could eat and drink. A tremendous value at $100 per person. We were there from 8 p.m. until after midnight.
Mostly Daniel aims for French technique with some dabs of experimentation here and there. Luxury ingredients like lobster, foie gras, and caviar are sprinkled throughout the meal, givng a feeling of luxury, but I could see evidence of smart efforts to save money as well, such as in the apple/rutabaga soup and in some of the wine pairing choices, which included a Languedoc red and a simple French Pinot Noir varietal bottle.
My favorites of the evening were the first amuse (a powerful lobster broth with a bit of lobster meat), the rutabaga/apple soup, Daniel's cauliflower "panna cotta" (made with cauliflower, cream, and gelatin, which makes a creamy, light base for a spoonful of caviar), the rack of goat (good flavor and perfectly cooked, served with a smear of Rancho Gordo beans), and the cheese course, of which I remember little but which featured at least six cheeses from Montreal. I thought a few of the courses missed the mark, such as the pasta/lobster/sea urchin course, which just didn't do it for me, and the chef's personal favorite, his quail with waffles. The quail is fried (in a batter, seemed like), and then served with waffles and maple syrup-- I just didn't get it. It didn't seem to me like the quail really belonged in the dish, and I thought the syrup overwhelmed everything else. But most of the meal was very impressive. Daniel has come up with a few signature dishes-- I'll be interested to see what he can do with seasonal ingredients once they start really coming in locally.
I was so full and buzzed by the time dessert rolled around that I'm having trouble bringing the experience back to the surface. I do remember some tasty house-made ice creams and a home-made French macaroon, which I think earns extra points. And I liked the port.
It doesn't seem like Bite Club has sparked much interest among MF members. There was one other MF'er there (who came seperately from us) the night of our visit, but I got the sense from Daniel that we were the first MF'ers to come. Daniel and Alicia are extraodrinarily friendly (or it's possible they overestimate my opinion's value around here). At any rate, in my opinion it is worthy of your time and money-- but don't worry about them if you're not interested. I think they're booked until July.

I enjoyed the pasta with sea urchin as well as the quail with waffles--a nice takeoff on the classic Southern dish of chicken & waffles. The baby goat was outstanding.
I have the menu at home, so I'll post later on exactly what we had. I did sample the booze that was served with the last dessert--maple liqueur, which Daniel said was a mixture of Canadian whiskey and maple syrup. It was an intriguing combination.
One thing to note: unlike at a dinner party, where everyone is seated at a long table, people are seated at separate tables according to the # of people in your party, like at a restaurant. So if you plan to go by yourself like I did, expect to dine alone at your own table unless another singleton shows up, in which case you may be seated with that person (if both of you are amenable to the idea, that is).

That's interesting about the quail-- I had a feeling it was a take on some traditional dish I didn't get. It makes sense that it's Southern in origin. Way too sweet for me!

Hey Seth,
So happy to hear your write up.. We dont think you are that big time, I was just being nice for the next time I need legal advice..I am in China right now and will have Alicia post desserts.. But I think we gave you the broiled melon with homemade phyllo and ice cream, the chocolate macaroon, a shot of ginger hot chocolate, a chocolate cognac mousse a la whipped cream maker, and the baby poached pear, with pear rum caramel, and pistachios, with an eight egg vanilla bean ice cream...Plus everyone left before we could give out our take home desserts, they went to good use.. I also think that cheese plate was some of the best collection of cheese I have personally ever seen.. But Miss A is in charge of desserts so I will ask her..
Anyway, you and your wife are just so lovely, we hope to see you soon.. I love being a day a head over here, if anyone needs the lottery numbers, just ask... Off to breakfast!

I forgot to mention the little foie gras oreo-- it was a great rich counterpoint to the humble (yet very satisfying) soup. I think that was actually my favorite course of the meal.
Posted 24 April 2007 - 03:30 AM
Seth I will concede that the soup is inexpensive to make but thats not why we made it.. It was a cold rainy night, actually it was the sunday night when we got all that crazy rain... A guest there said her favorite things on the sign up sheet where sweet potatoes and we did make a foie gras mousse and a pastry from foie gras that housed the filling.. The pastry alone took two days to make.. Your opinion is still very valid, I just dont want you to think it was driven on economics.. We are not that savy, we make the meals and then at the end are like oh shit, how much did this cost to make..Haha

FAQ's - Students/Parents | |
Can I start my apprenticeship while still in high school? A: YES. OYAP gives students who are at least 16 years old and who have completed 16 credits the opportunity to earn a high school diploma (OSSD) while working toward your apprenticeship. In most cases signings won't happen until grade 12. However if a student has a firm commitment from an employer prior to grade 12 they may also be registered while still in grade 11. Can a Grade 12 graduate still take OYAP? A: OYAP is designed to accommodate Grade 12 graduates. If a student has the required technical skills and for whatever reason did not opt for OYAP when he/she was in Grade 11, he/she may still apply for OYAP. A Grade 12 graduate will be accepted into OYAP provided that he/she meets the following criteria: Has made a commitment to complete the one or two semester program. Q: How long is the Ontario Youth Apprenticeship Program? A: Students may start OYAP in Grade 11 or in Grade 12 Many students might like to take as many of their compulsory courses as possible in their Grade 11 year and then begin an OYAP Co-op in the second semester of Grade 12 or return for a fifth year (grade 12+). Q: How can I prepare for OYAP? A: If you require additional information contact the Cooperative Education Department at your school. You will be given an information package including OYAP Pathways Planner. This information will help you choose the appropriate academic and technical courses. Q: May I still play sports? A: You can still participate in all school extracurricular activities. If these activities take place during your co-op hours you will need permission from your workplace to be absent. For more information please speak to your Cooperative Education teacher. Q: Am I responsible for my own transportation to the workplace? A: YES. You are responsible. But, you will not be denied access to the OYAP program or any other Cooperative Education course because you cannot afford the additional costs. Please see your cooperative education teacher for assistance. Q: What happens if I decide to leave the apprenticeship program or am asked to leave the program? A: You may find out that you are not suited to an apprenticeship or you also might be in a situation where your attendance, work ethic, attitude etc., might be considered unsatisfactory by your teacher(s) or the employer. Depending on the timing within the school year, you may normally return to a regular program. If this cannot be accommodated, then you will have to pursue alternative ways of earning credits through correspondence or online courses, credit recovery programs, night school, summer school or return to your home school the following semester. Q: Am I protected with Workers Safety Insurance coverage? A: YES. You are covered under WSIB by the Ministry of Education during the co-operative education placement. This coverage is documented in the form of a Work Education Agreement (WEA) which is signed by employer, student, parent and teacher prior to starting at your placement. When an OYAP student is registered as an apprentice and PAID the employer is responsible to provide the WSIB protection. |

Dear Dr. Donohue: Several years ago, I was diagnosed with myelodysplasia. I am a 79-year-old widow. I have seen a hematologist for it every six months. After a knee replacement 18 months ago, I suddenly became very short of breath. My daughter took me back to the hospital, and I had to have blood transfusions since my blood count had dropped so low. I took shots every week for months until my blood count returned to low normal. I read in our paper that myelodysplasia is a form of preleukemia. What are my chances of developing leukemia? - J.J.
Dear J.J.: Here "myelo" refers to bone marrow, the site of blood-cell production. "Dysplasia" indicates that a monkey wrench has been thrown into the production of blood cells. Myelodysplasia (MY-uh-low-dis-PLAY-zhe-uh) syndrome is a group of blood disorders with a common thread running through each - a greatly reduced production of red blood cells, white blood cells, platelets or a combination of two or all three. It mostly strikes between the ages of 65 and 70 and is not an unfamiliar condition.
