NEWARK — Nicholas G. Tullo, MD, cardiac electrophysiologist at the Barnabas Health Heart Center at Saint Barnabas Medical Center, has been named spokesperson for the STARS-US Take Fainting to Heart campaign. Syncope Trust and Reflex Anoxic Seizures (STARS) is an international organization that supports individuals with syncope, reflex anoxic seizures and other non-epileptic seizures; advances the education of medical professionals; and promotes research on the treatment and management of these conditions.
"A recent study showed that one in three people experienced a fainting episode at some point in their lives, but few understand the serious health risks that can be associated with fainting," said Dr. Tullo who was recently named one of New Jersey's Top Docs by NJ Monthly magazine. Syncope, the medical term for fainting, is a brief loss of consciousness caused by a sudden lack of blood flow to the brain. "It is a temporary condition that may be associated with a drop in blood pressure, a reduction in heart rate or changes in blood volume. Syncope is often the result of an underlying medical condition that could be related to a person's heart, nervous system or blood flow to the brain," he explained.
Unfortunately, the link between fainting and heart health is often overlooked. An electrophysiologist is a cardiologist with additional expertise in the heart's electrical system that maintains the body's natural heart rhythm. An arrhythmia, a disruption in the heart's rhythm, can cause serious symptoms, including syncope.
The Take Fainting to Heart campaign provides information and innovative educational resources to help the public understand the seriousness of fainting and the importance of visiting a doctor to determine if it is caused by an underlying, serious health problem.
"There are several diagnostic tests that can help uncover the cause of the fainting condition and to determine how best to treat it," said Dr. Tullo. "Patients can be treated successfully with simple lifestyle changes and/or medications. If a more serious heart-related issue is to blame, an implantable device such as a cardiac pacemaker or defibrillator many be necessary and could be life-saving."
As the national spokesperson, Dr. Tullo has been interviewed on the subject of syncope for national magazines, radio and television/internet news. Regarded as an expert in the field, he serves on STARS' international Medical Advisory Committee and on the STARS-U.S. Board of Trustees. In addition, Dr. Tullo is a Medical Advisor for the Dysautonomia Information Network.

We Are Family
I can't believe one of my pictures finally uploaded, Yayyyyyyy!!!!! I have been having so many problems with blogger lately. Anyhow, Thursday, two of my sisters, two of my nieces and my two daughters went on a local cruise up the Delaware River to celebrate my sisters birthday. We had so much fun. We ordered the fiesta table so we had a balloon bouquet and souvenir glasses for everyone. There was an amble buffet and the food was very tasty. The cruise included a live show with people singing Motown classics-somewhat corny, but definitely entertaining. After the live show the dance floor opened up with a Conga line. My daughters had everyone on the cruise laughing when they played "Jump on It" by the Sugar Hill Gang because they did some dance they saw on Fresh Prince of Bel Air. My sisters and I danced in all of the line dances including the classic Electric Slide, Cha-Cha Slide, Booty Call and Wild, Wild West. The party continued for three hours and the music didn't stop until the boat docked. We had such a good time, even though almost all of us had to go to work the next day it was worth it. I know my sister had a good time because she was smiling the entire time, plus there were two times she cried (we all are very emotional, LOL). Once when they played "We are family" by Sister Sledge and we all started to sing together and the DJ and dancers came over and sang with us. And secondly when the DJ played Stevie Wonder's "Happy Birthday" song and we lit her candles and sang to her. I am so glad she had a good time, she deserves it, I love my family.

If you've always wanted to meet a "Jersey Shore" cast member but have yet to do so, you must not be trying very hard.
There were three cast members appearing in the Chicago-area last month – Snooki, Vinny and Ronnie -- and there will be two more this weekend. The Situation will visit Drink in Schaumburg and Zero Gravity in Naperville Friday. JWoww will visit the L.A. Tan in Downers Grove and Norridge and Vision nightclub in River North Saturday.
I know what some of you are thinking: Who still watches "Jersey Shore"?
To be honest, I'm not sure who still watches – well, besides me (I've...

Holocaust Commemoration Ceremonies
Often it is important to choose a particular theme for a commemoration service. In most cases this will be the same theme as chosen for Holocaust Awareness Week. Examples of themes in the past include :
Children of the Shoah
The theme chosen for a commemoration is more than just a topic that ties ideas together.
A theme sends a clear message to the audience.
Focussing on Resistance or Righteous Gentiles on hand allows the audience to take something positive away from the commemoration. On the other hand however it takes statistically minor aspects of the Shoah and transforms them in the minds of the audience to central elements.
Focussing on different people killed in the Second World War or other genocides, is often of interest to the broader audience but it also downplays the 'uniqueness' of the 'Shoah'. Not only is this a very complicated issue but may also be found to be offensive to segments of the audience.
Venue is very important to a Holocaust commemoration. Depending on the size of the audience you are expecting an appropriate venue should be decided upon. A full room is more effective than a larger half empty one.
Effective ceremonies often involve darkness, visual displays and audio-visual equipment.
The venue should be accessible to guests, speakers and familiar to your target audience.
Clearly the main language of the ceremony should be in English in order that the vast majority of the audience can fully understand the ceremony. However it is worth considering the use of Jewish languages as part of the ceremony. (This may be considered with or without translation)
Yiddish : The majority of the Jews of Europe spoke Yiddish. It was not merely just a language but a culture. As the Nazis also endeavored to eradicate the Jewish culture, the use of Yiddish in a ceremony sends a strong and clear message.
Hebrew : The use of Hebrew language also provides a strong message about the Jewish people today. As the language of the modern State of Israel Hebrew has become a symbol of Jewish present and Jewish future.
Most communities will have a good pool of speakers to choose from. There are generally three types of speakers that address Holocaust commemoration functions as key note speakers.
a) Holocaust Survivors
There is no better testament to the Shoah than Holocaust survivors themselves. For many people it will be their first encounter with the atrocities of the Shoah and can leave a lasting impact. It is also important to remember that this is the last generation that will be able to have direct contact with Holocaust survivors and that it is the responsibility of this generation to pass on the legacy of the victims and the survivors.
When asking a survivor to speak it is important that someone has heard them speak before. Some survivors have difficulty speaking a clear English. Also it is difficult to ask someone to tell their 'story' and then restrict their time. Sometimes it is possible to ask a survivor to focus on a particular theme or particular aspect of their experience. When asking a survivor to speak it is important to emphasize that you are not asking for a history lesson but a personal testimony.
b) Lecturers
Often at University level, people want to learn something about a specific topic. If they are attending a lecture or ceremony at lunchtime they want to feel as if they have gained something from the experience. Pick your lecturer carefully and you should select the topic that you want them to speak on. This maybe on their area of expertise or maybe on a more general topic.
c) Community Members
There are several members of the established Jewish communities who can speak at functions. These people have good message to share and it also gives them a chance to see some of the work that your union is doing.
Visual Effects
Visual representation of the Shoah can add significant impact to a ceremony. There are no shortage of available resources.
Movies (or short extracts from movies), Slides, Posters, Handouts, Overheads, Power Point Presentations are just a few ideas for a commemoration service.
Text of Ceremony
A ceremony should have a flow that ties all pieces together. Consideration should be made to using poetry, short testimonies and quotes within a ceremony in order to create a flowing service. The use of primary sources within the ceremony adds authenticity and impact to the overall commemoration ceremony.
Religious Elements
As a Jewish ceremony there are certain religious elements that should be included in the commemoration. The Yizkor Memorial Prayer and 'El Male Rachamim' are two prayers that should be included. Anyone can be asked to recite these prayers. It may be a good opportunity to invite a communal religious leader to be a part of your unions activities.
Your union should invite guests to the ceremony. Members of the Jewish community, university lecturers and staff are often keen to participate in Shoah ceremonies. If there are genocide or Shoah courses taking place at University then students and staff associated with these courses should be invited to attend.
National Anthems
We recommend that you the national anthems of both your country of residence and of Israel should be included in a Holocaust Commemoration Service with both flags being visible throughout the ceremony.
Over many years candles and candle lighting ceremonies have become an integral part of Holocaust ceremonies. The candle as a symbol of the Shoah is also very powerful. On one hand fire symbolizes destruction and the death of so many Jews. But the flame is also a symbol of hope and the future as expressed by the eternal (Ner Tamid) flame in synagogues all around the world.
Candle lighting ceremonies can take many forms.
Your choice of who lights the candles is very significant. Sometimes survivors can be asked to light the flame. Other time sit might be felt appropriate that young members light the flames to symbolize hope and future. It is also becoming increasingly common to have members across generations lighting flames.
On other occasions it has been felt appropriate to invite non-Jews to light flames. In some instances these were other victims of the Nazis including members of the gypsy or homosexual communities. Righteous Gentiles or members of the Clergy have also been invited to take part in candle lighting ceremonies.
Often Candle lighting becomes a central item of the overall ceremony. The impact of this event within a service should not be underestimated and a bit of thought should go into making this as significant as possible.
As we look at these lights,
try to imagine six million candles
each one with the name of another Jew.
Each one would signify a unique and
Precious soul, who struggles and had hope,
Who was part of a family, an orphan, a widow, or a widower,
They worked, studied, took walks-
The ordinary things of life.
They celebrated births and weddings,
Mourned at funerals.
All were part of the Jewish people, each one was a separate individual. Each one suffered.
Each and every one was murdered.
In lighting these candles we remember the six million Jewish martyrs who lost their lives in the Holocaust.
We dedicate each candle to an important group of witnesses.
This candle is dedicated to the children who witnessed the horror, starvation, deprivation and degradation if our people.
We dedicate this candle to those who witnessed the spiritual and physical resistance of our people during the Nazi regime.
With this candle we remember those people all over the world who witnessed and attempted to inform governments of what was happening to the Jewish people, even though their accounts fell upon deaf ears.
This candle is dedicated to the survivors of the Shoah who witnessed the liberation and had the courage to rebuild their shattered lives.
We dedicate this candle to those people who will be called upon as public witnessed in the forthcoming war crimes trials to be held in this country. May they find the strength and courage to cope with the resurgence of their darkest memories.
This last candle is dedicated to us – the next generation. We must bear witness to what has happened after all the other candles are extinguished and there is no-one but ourselves who are left to carry the flames of remembrance.
The first candle has been lit in memory of the babes in arms, innocent prey who were slaughtered without reason. May their souls be bound up in eternal life.
The second candle has been lit in memory of the children who valiantly tried to help parents and friends against all odds. And in the memory of their children who never had a chance to be. May their souls be bound up in eternal life.
The third candle has been lit in memory of those who formed partisan groups after escaping transports, ghettos and camps, to strike back at the terrible enemy. May their souls be bound up in eternal life.
The fourth candle has been lit in memory of ghetto fighters who dared to defy the Nazi War Machine while strong armed nations stood by uncaring and un-aiding. May their souls be bound up in eternal life.
The fifth candle has been lit in the memory of valiant men and women herded into ghettos who set up schools and synagogues, hospitals and soup kitchens, orphanages and burial societies, creating order in the midst of chaos and choosing life amidst death. May their souls be bound up in eternal life.
The sixth candle has been lit in memory of our parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, brothers sisters cousins and friends who believed so deeply in goodness and whose blood cried out to us : "Remember us! Remember our lives! May their souls be bound up in eternal life.
We dedicate these 6 candles to the six million Jews who lost their lives in the Nazi persecutions.
1. In memory of the helpless infants, children and teenagers who were cut down like young trees, before their time. Zachor…Lo Tishkach !
All: We shall not forget.
2. In memory of all mothers who dies with their children in their arms. Zachor…Lo Tishkach !
All: We shall not forget.
3. In memory of all mothers and fathers who were cruelly separated from their families. Zachor…Lo Tishkach !
All: We shall not forget.
4. In memory of all scholars, teachers, rabbis who were the first to be seized. Zachor…Lo Tishkach !
All: We shall not forget.
5. In memory of the Heroes of the Resistance who fought the Nazis – so few against so many. Zachor…Lo Tishkach !
All: We shall not forget.
6. In memory of the Martyrs who gave their lives to help their brothers and sisters under the Nazis. Zachor…Lo Tishkach !
All: We shall not forget.
Suggested Outline for Holocaust Commemoration Ceremony on Campus
1. Welcomes, Introduction (Please refrain from applause during the ceremony)
2. Play a song or perhaps a short video.
3. Lighting of the Memorial Candles
4. Yiddish Poem with translation
5. Introduce Key note speaker
6. Key note speaker
7. Vote of thanks
8. Song
9. A few words from your union
10. Yizkor
11. El Male Rachamim
(Possibly the Partisan Song)
12. Hatikvah
*It is ideal to intersperse readings about the Holocaust between items.
These should include factual information about the Shoah so that the audience leave the commemoration ceremony feeling they have not only commemorated but been educated.
Quotes and Readings
"If history repeats itself, and the unexpected always happens, how incapable must Man be of learning from experience."
George Bernard Shaw
'Take heed...lest you forget the things which your eyes have seen, and...teach them to your children and to your children's children."
Deuteronomy 4:9
'Never think there is an easy way to make an end to such bitter memories. Only know that hope lives when people remember.'
Simon Wiesenthal
'It was the only time in recorded history that a state tried to destroy an entire people, regardless of an individual's age, sex, location, profession, or belief. And it is the only instance in which the perpetrators conducted this genocide for no ostensible material, territorial, or political gain.'
Deborah Lipstadt
Forgetfulness leads to Exile while Remembrance is the secret of Redemption
Baal Shem Tov
Pastor Martin Neimoller
First they went after the Communists,
and I did not stand up, because I was not a Communist.
Then they went after the homosexuals and infirm,
and I did not stand up, because I was neither.
Then they went after the Jews,
and I did not stand up, because I was not a Jew.
Then they went after the Catholics,
and I did not stand up, because I was Protestant.
Finally, they went after me,
and there was no one left to stand up for me.
Emil Fackenhiem
"Jews are forbidden to hand Hitler posthumous victories. They are commanded to survive as Jews, lest the Jewish people perish.
They are commanded to remember the victims of Auschwitz
Lest the memory perish.
They are forbidden to despair of man and his world,
And to escape into either cynicism or other worldliness,
Lest they cooperate in delivering the world over
To the forces of Auschwitz.
Finally, they are forbidden to despair of the God of Israel, lest Judaism perish."
from God's Presence in History.
The 614th Commandment
'Jews are forbidden to hand Hitler posthumous victories.'
Jews..are commanded to survive as Jews, lest the Jewish people perish. They are commanded to remember the victims of Auschwitz, lest their memory perish. They are forbidden to despair of man and his world, and to escape into either cynicism or... otherworldliness, lest they cooperate in delivering the world over to the forces of Auschwitz. Finally, they are forbidden to despair of the God of Israel, lest Judaism perish. A secularist Jew cannot make himself believe by a mere act of will, nor can he be commanded to do so ... And a religious Jew who has stayed with his God may be forced into new, possibly revolutionary relationships with Him. One possibility, however, is wholly unthinkable. A Jew may not respond to Hitler's attempt to destroy Judaism by himself cooperating in its destruction. In ancient times, the unthinkable Jewish sin was idolatry. Today, it is to respond to Hitler by doing his work.
Elie Wiesel
Their faith
Their faith…remains unshaken, and one may well wonder why. They do not despair.
The proof: they persist in surviving – not only to survive, but to testify. The victims elect
to become witnesses.
from One Generation After
The Forest
When the great Rabbi Israel Baal Shem-Tov saw misfortune threatening the Jews it was his custom to go into a certain part of the forest to meditate. There he would light a fire, say a special prayer, and the miracle would be accomplished and the misfortune averted.
Later, when his disciple, the celebrated Magid of Mezritch had occasion, for the same reason, to intercede with heaven he would go to the same place in the forest and say: "Master of the Universe, listen! I do not know how to light the fire but I am still able to say the prayer." And again the miracle would be accomplished.
Still later, Rabbi Moshe-Leib of Sasov, in order to save his people once more, would go into the forest and say: "Master of the Universe, listen! I do not know how to light the fire but I am still able to say the prayer. And again the miracle would be accomplished.
Then it fell to Rabbi Israel of Rizhyn to overcome misfortune. Sitting in his armchair, his head in his hands, he spoke to God: "I am unable to light the fire and I do not know the prayer; I cannot even find the place in the forest. All I can do is to tell the story, and this must be sufficient."
And it was sufficient.
from Gates of the Forest
The Madman's Prayer
Elie Wiesel tells the story of a small group of Jews who were gathered to pray in a little synagogue in Nazi-occupied Europe. As the service went on, suddenly a pious Jew who was slightly mad – for all pious Jews were by then slightly mad – burst in through the door. Silently he listened for a moment as the prayers ascended. Slowly he said: "Shh, Jews! Do not pray so loud! God will hear you. Then He will know that there are still some Jews left alive in Europe."
God of forgiveness, do not forgive
The Nobel Prize-winner Elie Wiesel, who was in Auschwitz as a child, said in an address at an unofficial ceremony commemorating the camp's liberation:
'Although we know that God is merciful, please God do not have mercy on those who have created this place. God of forgiveness, do not forgive those murderers of Jewish children here.
Do not forgive the murderers and their accomplices. Those who have been here... remember the nocturnal processions of children and more children and more children, frightened, quiet, so quiet and so beautiful.
If we could simply look at one, our heart would break. Did it not break the heart of the murderers? God, merciful God, do not have mercy on those who had no mercy on Jewish children.
Naturally, we know that there is no collective guilt. Only the guilty were guilty. Their children are children. So children all over the world, remember the Jewish children.
And if you remember, as we try to remember, then, as you just heard; hope is possible that because of our memory, thanks to our Jewish memory, a better world might be built in which children could be happy ... smiling, singing, taking each other's hands and saying to each other:
'Well, another morning, another day. Another morning, another day, for human-kind.'
Anne Frank
It is Really a Wonder
It's really a wonder that I haven't dropped all my ideals, because they seem so absurd and impossible to carry out. Yet, I keep them because in spite of everything I still believe that people are really good at heart. I simply can't build up my hopes on a foundation consisting of confusion, misery and death. I see the world gradually being turned into a wilderness. I hear the ever approaching thunder, which will destroy us too. I can feel the suffering of millions and yet, if I look into the heavens, I think that it will all come right, that this cruelty will end, and the peace and tranquility will return again.
In the meantime, I must uphold my ideals, for perhaps the time will come when I shall be able to carry them out.
Anne Frank's Diary July 15, 1944
Memory is a Sacred Energy
Memory is a sacred energy. Forgetting desecrates the past and endangers the future. But we must remember wisely. For the sake of our children we must not forget the heroism of such as the Metropolita Stephan and the Holy Synod of the Bulgarian Church who defied the insistent Nazi orders to deport 50,000 Bulgarian Jews to death camps. We must remember the deeds of Himmler and Eichmann, but we dare not suffer amnesia to blot out the names and acts of families who hid the family of Anne Frank.
Yitzhak Katznelson
The First Ones
The first ones to be destroyed were the children, little orphans, abandoned upon the
face of the earth;
They who were the best in the world, the acme of grace on the dark earth;
Oh, tender orphans !
From them, the bereaved of the world
In a house of shelter we drew consolation;
From the mournful face, mute and dark, we said the light of day will yet break upon us…
written in the Warsaw Ghetto
Milan Kundera
The first step in liquidating a people is to erase its memory. Destroy its books, its culture, its history. Then have somebody write new books, manufacture a new culture, invent a new history. Before long the nation will begin to forget what it is and what it was. The world around it will forget even faster.
fromThe Book of Laughter and Forgetting
Helsie Lieberman
I Have Read Their Words
I have read their words. I have looked without comprehension at their pictures. I
have walked as softly as I could over the newly-lain stone at Dachau in order not to
disturb their memories, to try to hear their whispers of wisdom, dignity, courage.
I can never see what they saw. I can never feel the fear and the sorrow that they felt. What would I have done with the few precious moments before I was marched into the gas chamber and out of the world of humanity ? Would I have had courage ? Would I have had faith ?
If I even so much as try to experience their agony, then I become part of a lie. But if I do not read their words, if I do not look at their pictures, if I do not convey something of them, however distant, to someone else – maybe to you – then I will become part of the betrayal.
And this I cannot do.
Passing of the Legacy and Acceptance
Passing of the Legacy
We, the living survivors, entrust the legacy of the Shoah to you,
The second generation and there after to all generations.
We want you to vow that the sacred memory of our suffering and our martyrdom shall
never be scorned or erased.
We want you to recall the heroism of Jewish resistance : remember the shining examples
of sacrifice and kindness from the Righteous Gentiles.
Remember the racial prejudice and discrimination which led to the Holocaust.
By not forgetting, you will pay tribute to those who were destroyed. By not forgetting,
you will ensure for those who live, and those who are yet to be born, that we intend never
to allow such an insanity to happen again.
This is the heritage, we the survivors, entrust to your custody for safekeeping for all
generations to come.
We accept.
Through our parents' memories, words and silence,
We are linked.
We dedicate this promise to you, who suffered and survived.
To our grandparents who perished in the flames.
To our vanished brothers and sisters.
To all six million
Never to allow such an insanity to happen again.
We accept and promise to keep this sacred memory alive from generation to generation
wherever we may be.
We promise to remember!
We promise to teach our children to preserve that Jewish spirit which could not be destroyed.
We promise to remind the world of the depths to which humanity can sink and the heights which were attained, even in hell itself.
We shall fight anti-Semitism and all forms of racial hatred throughout the world.
We will not neglect our obligations to the continuity of Jewish life and the State of Israel.
We pledge ourselves to the unity of the Jewish people.
We are your future !
Yes we accept !
Hannah Senesh
Blessed Is the Match
Blessed is the match that burns out in lighting the flame.
Blessed is the flame that flares in the heart's hidden chambers.
Blessed are the hearts that know when to leave off with honor.
Blessed is the match that burns out in lighting the flame.
Natan Alterman
Among All the Nations
While our children wept in the gallows' shadow,
we heard nothing of the world's great rage.
From among all the nations you chose us,
you loved us and showed that you wanted us.
From among all the nations you chose us,
the Norwegians, the Czechs, and the British.
As our children are marched to the gallows -
Jewish children, children who are wise,
they know that their blood won't be thought of as blood -
and they call to their mothers, 'Don't watch.'
And the ax by night and by day devours,
and the Christian father in the city on high
from his holy palace does not emerge
to stand against the pogrom with his savior -
To stand for a day, for a single day only,
where the child has stood for years
like a lonely young goat,
a Jew.
But there's great concern for the paintings and sculptures
and famous collections which might be destroyed,
while the famous collection of infants' heads
are crushed against roads and walls.
Their eyes say: Mother, Don't watch,
how we're laid out in long lines.
Experienced soldiers, all well-known,
only we among them are small.
Their eyes say more:
God of our fathers, we knew
among all the children you'd chosen us
and loved us and showed that you wanted us -
That among all the children you chose us
before your throne to be slaughtered,
and you gather our blood in vessels of clay
for beside you it has no collector;
As though it were flowers you take in its scent,
and you gather it up in a mantle,
and you'll seek it - from the veins of the murderers,
and the veins of the silent as well.
Abba Kovner
Let Us Commemorate
Let us commemorate our brothers and sisters, the houses of the city and of the village,
The shtetl streets that resounded with tumult like a river
And the lonely roadside inn;
The countenance of the old man,
And the mother with her shawl,
The young girl with her braids,
And the small children;
The thousands of Jewish communities that belonged to humankind,
And the entire Jewish people,
Slaughtered on European soil by the Nazi extirpator;
The man who cried a sudden prayer
And, crying, died;
The woman who embraced her infant tightly
As her arms faltered;
The infant whose fingers grope for his mother's nipple, But it is blue and cold;
The legs, the legs that sought refuge
When there was nowhere to run;
And those who clenched their fists,
The fist that clutched the iron bar,
The iron bar that became the weapon of vision, despair, and rebellion.
They were pure in heart,
And with open eyes
They cast their lives aside, but their arms fell short of salvation.
Let us remember the day,
The midday, the sun
That rose over the bloody site,
The sky that stood high and silent;
Let us remember the hills of ashes beneath the blooming gardens.
May the living remember the dead, for they are here in front of us,
Here they gaze about.
Let us not be silent, let us not be silent, until our lives are worthy of their memory.
Mordechai Anilewicz
'My Last Wish in Life Has Come True'
It is clear to us now that events have exceeded expectations. We have outdone ourselves in resisting the Germans, but our strength is ebbing. We are on the verge of destruction. Twice we forced the Germans to retreat, but they returned with redoubled strength.
One of our [military] companies held out for about forty minutes. Another fought for nearly six hours. The mine that we planted in the 'brushmakers' area blew up. Then we attacked the Germans and caused them heavy losses. Our losses, for the most part, were not extensive. That, too, is an achievement. Z. fell, beside the machine gun. I sense great things happening, and I believe that what we have dared to do is invaluable and tremendous.
For lack of choice we are going over to the partisan method today. Six combat companies are going out tonight, with two missions: scout the place out and seize arms. Remember: Short arms are worthless to us. We rarely use such weapons. We need large quantities of rifles, grenades, machine guns, and explosives.
I haven't the strength to describe to you the conditions under which the ghetto Jews now live. Very few may be able to withstand these agonies. The rest will die, sooner or later. Their fate is sealed, although thousands are trying to hide in cracks and mouse holes. You cannot light candles there, for lack of air. Accept my blessings, you people on the outside. Maybe by force of a miracle we will meet one day. That's doubtful, extremely doubtful.
My last wish in life has come true. Jewish self-defense has become a fact. Jewish resistance and revenge have become real. I am happy and content that I was one of the first Jewish fighters in the ghetto.
Whence salvation?

Babi Yar
No monument stands over Babi Yar.
A steep cliff only, like the rudest headstone.
I am afraid.
Today, I am as old
As the entire Jewish race itself.
I see myself an ancient Israelite.
I wander o"er the roads of ancient Egypt
And here, upon the cross, I perish, tortured
And even now, I bear the marks of nails.
It seems to me that Dreyfus is myself.
The Philistines betrayed me - and now judge.
I"m in a cage. Surrounded and trapped,
I"m persecuted, spat on, slandered, and
The dainty dollies in their Brussels frills
Squeal, as they stab umbrellas at my face.
I see myself a boy in Belostok
Blood spills, and runs upon the floors,
The chiefs of bar and pub rage unimpeded
And reek of vodka and of onion, half and half.
I"m thrown back by a boot, I have no strength left,
In vain I beg the rabble of pogrom,
To jeers of 'Kill the Jews, and save our Russia!'
My mother"s being beaten by a clerk.
O, Russia of my heart, I know that you
Are international, by inner nature.
But often those whose hands are steeped in filth
Abused your purest name, in name of hatred.
I know the kindness of my native land.
How vile, that without the slightest quiver
The antisemites have proclaimed themselves
The 'Union of the Russian People!'
It seems to me that I am Anna Frank,
Transparent, as the thinnest branch in April,
And I"m in love, and have no need of phrases,
But only that we gaze into each other"s eyes.
How little one can see, or even sense!
Leaves are forbidden, so is sky,
But much is still allowed - very gently
In darkened rooms each other to embrace.
-'They come!'
-'No, fear not - those are sounds
Of spring itself. She"s coming soon.
Quickly, your lips!'
-'They break the door!'
-'No, river ice is breaking...'
Wild grasses rustle over Babi Yar,
The trees look sternly, as if passing judgement.
Here, silently, all screams, and, hat in hand,
I feel my hair changing shade to gray.
And I myself, like one long soundless scream
Above the thousands of thousands interred,
I"m every old man executed here,
As I am every child murdered here.
No fiber of my body will forget this.
May 'Internationale' thunder and ring
When, for all time, is buried and forgotten
The last of antisemites on this earth.
There is no Jewish blood that"s blood of mine,
But, hated with a passion that"s corrosive
Am I by antisemites like a Jew.
And that is why I call myself a Russian!
Laura Crist
And the child held her hand
A child tiny for almost eight,
Deep blue eyes that dominated his face,
When he explained new events to her,
that funny doggy,
that pretty rock,
And the freckles on his cheek,
No one saw a sunrise more perfect,
to her,
She so vividly smells the fragrance of
his hair,
his ears,
his breath in the morning
She vividly hears that little heartbeat,
that was hers
always hers,
and the laughter,
that raspy little laugh,
when he caught her in a conundrum.
All this,
But this is merely the surface,
As she watches her little God sheared,
and stripped,
For the gas chamber.
Avrom Sutzkever (1913-)
Frozen Jews Have you seen, in fields of snow,
frozen Jews, row on row?
Blue marble forms lying,
Not breathing, not dying.
Somewhere a flicker of a frozen soul--
glint of fish in an icy swell.
All brood. Speech and silence are one.
Night snow encases the sun.
A smile glows immobile
from a rose lip's chill.
Baby and mother, side by side.
Odd that her nipple's dried.
Fist, fixed in ice, of a naked old man:
the power's undone in his hand.
I've sampled death in all guises.
Nothing surprises.
Yet a frost in July in this heat--
a crazy assault in the street.
I and blue carrion, face to face.
Frozen Jews in a snowy space.
Marble shrouds my skin.
Words ebb. Light grows thin.
I'm frozen, I'm rooted in place
like the naked old man enfeebled by ice.
Moscow, July 10, 1944
(from the Yiddish by Cynthia Ozick)
Wislawa Szymborska
Hitler's First Photograph
And who's this little fellow in his itty-bitty robe?
That's tiny baby Adolf, the Hitler's little boy!
Will he grow up to be an L.L.D.?
Or a tenor in Vienna's Opera House?
Whose teensy hand is this, whose little ear and eye and nose?
Whose tummy full of milk, we just don't know:
printer's, doctor's, merchant's, priest's?
Where will those tootsy-wootsies finally wander?
To a garden, to a school, to an office, to a bride?
Maybe to the Buergermeister's daughter?
Precious little angel, mommy's sunshine, honey bun.
While he was being born, a year ago,
there was no dearth of signs on the earth and in the sky:
spring sun, geraniums in windows,
the organ-grinder's music in the yard,
a lucky fortune wrapped in rosy paper.
Then just before the labor his mother's fateful dream.
A dove seen in a dream means joyful news--
if it is caught, a long-awaited guest will come.
Knock knock, who's there, it's Adolf's heartschen knocking.
A little pacifier, diaper, rattle, bib,
our bouncing boy, thank God and knock on wood, is well,
looks just like his folks, like a kitten in a basket,
like the tots in every other family album.
Sh-h-h, let's not start crying, sugar,
The camera will click from under that black hood.
The Klinger Atelier, Grabenstrasse, Braunen.
And Braunen is a small but worthy town--
honest businesses, obliging neighbors,
smell of yeast dough, of gray soap.
No one hears howling dogs, or fate's footsteps.
A history teacher loosens his collar
and yawns over homework.
Berish Weinstein (1905-1967)
The rushing ax cools and bleeds; the ax drips,
And necks, at its edge, split and rebound;
The gash at the gleaming cut is dimmed with steam;
And blood drains swiftly away from the cold steel.
In prison cells, bodies are branded with dark blue swellings.
Clothes fall apart beneath the flaying switch
And under a cold sweat, bellies quiver.
Wounds drain and congeal to raw meat.
To keep its fine edge, the ax is thrust in the ground.
So it will shine when it"s held to the spurting sun;
Held over white sifted sands, over freshly planed boards
On which the newly shaved heads, their eyes wide open,
Their necks cleanly washed, and warmly unbuttoned, will bounce.
The wound of decapitation"s extinguished in sand;
Teeth clench the lips; the still living temples throb.
Through its covering cloth, the body continues to breathe.
Sometimes, a foot or a hand tries to live; the fingers, watching, die.
Executioners scrub off the spots and neatly adjust their clothes.
Through the nailed-shut doors of Wedding the night yells with a Jewish girl.
Again, delicate and white, the ax darkens against a beam;
At the grave of a fresh corpse, a spade still crunches crisp earth.
Germany, 1933
(from the Yiddish by Leonard Wolf)
Pavel Friedman
The Butterfly
The last, the very last,
So richly, brightly, dazzlingly yellow.
Perhaps if the sun"s tears would sing
against a white stone.
Such, such a yellow
Is carried lightly way up high.
It went away I"m sure because it wished to
kiss the world good-bye.
For seven weeks I"ve lived in here,
Penned up inside this ghetto.
But I have found what I love here.
The dandelions call to me
And the white chestnut branches in the court.
Only I never saw another butterfly.
That butterfly was the last one.
Butterflies don"t live here,
in the ghetto.
Written on June 4, 1942, when Pavel was age 7.
Sent to Terezin on April 26, 1942, he died in Auschwitz on September 29, 1944.
The heaviest wheel rolls across our foreheads
To bury itself deep somewhere
inside our memories.
We've suffered here more than enough,
Here in this clot of grief and shame,
Wanting a badge of blindness
To be a proof for their own children.
A fourth year of waiting, like standing above a swamp
From which any moment might gush forth a spring.
Meanwhile, the rivers flow another way,
Another way,
Not letting you die, not letting you live.
And the cannons don't scream and the guns don't bark
And you don't see blood here.
Nothing, only silent hunger.
Children steal the bread here and ask and ask and ask
And all would wish to sleep, keep silent, and
just go to sleep again...
The heaviest wheel rolls across our foreheads
To bury itself deep somewhere inside our memories
Elie Wiesel
"Let Us Say Kaddish"
Let us say Kaddish not only for the dead, but also for the living who have forgotten the dead.
And let the prayer be more than a prayer more than a lament; let it be outcry, protest and defiance.
And above al let it be an act of remembrance. For that is what the victims wanted: to be remembered, at least to be remembered.
For just as the killer was determined to erase Jewish memory, so were the dying heroes and fighting martyrs bent on maintaining it alive.
They are now being defamed; or forgotten – which is like killing them a second time.
Let us say Kaddish together – and to allow others to betray them posthumously.
Julius Bablin

Lament for the Gypsies
Their home was the endless plains of Eurasia
Their roof was the starlit sky under which
they slept in tribal embrace
Although their tragic share is seldom included
in the Holocaust of World War Two
They bequeathed to us before they were
consumed by crematoria a unique legacy:
that of a people
Who practices without preaching
what they believed-
The peoples should not be divided by frontiers.

These days, marketing has a bad reputation. It's not uncommon to hear business owners say things like "I've tried marketing— it doesn't work… at least not for my business."
But why? After all, marketing is what separates McDonalds from the local burger joint down the street. One brought in 27 billion dollars in revenue in 2011, the other is just barely making enough to pay for its expenses.
The problem isn't marketing— the problem is that many people who call themselves "marketers" or run "marketing firms" have no idea what they are doing. They are based NOT off of experience, but rather textbook knowledge that is often outdated, obsolete, or just plain wrong.…and, of course, there are many who are "fly-by-night marketers" and are just looking to take advantage of unsuspecting business owners.
Marketing is a science— the science of selling. There are facts and rules that have been proven to increase sales… and most people who call themselves "marketers" have no idea that they exist. We, however, do.We believe solely in your bottom line. Our job isn't to make people smile, laugh, or get excited… it is to get you more sales— to give you the best return on your investment possible.
This philosophy is why, in an industry where the average client fires their marketing firm after five months, we have never had a client leave us. We are the best because we know what real marketing is.
The Viewpoint SEO Marketing Media is the brain child of it's founder and president, Anthony Manriquez.
An entrepreneur since birth, Anthony fell into marketing and advertising at the young age of sixteen. He networked and became friends with the thinktanks and professionals in the industry and began to train under them. Presently after his seventeen birthday, he began to speak at marketing seminars and give meetings to "big-name" marketers, assisting with problems they couldn't find the answers to themselves.
Contact us to set up an appointment for a FREE consultation.
We will look over your business and create a plan to launch it past where you ever thought possible.

Duct Repair and Replacement Services in Chicago, IL
Ducts are designed to be a pretty quiet and inconspicuous part of your home. They just sort of sit there, passively directing air flow throughout the house while your heater or air conditioner is operating. However, that doesn't mean that they don't need professional services every now and again. Your ducts will wear down over time, just like the rest of your home systems.
When they reach a certain level of wear and tear, they will need to be repaired or replaced. That's why Elm Heating & Cooling, Inc. offers comprehensive duct repair and replacement services throughout Chicago, IL. If you need to have your ducts repaired or replaced, or for duct insulation, give us a call today to schedule an appointment.
Our team offers 24/7 heating & air conditioning services
Quick, Reliable Service
Friendly, Experienced Professionals
All Purpose Repair Services
Do You Need Duct Repair?
Ducts will start to develop issues long before they fail completely. Though they may look sturdy, the vast majority of ductwork is actually really prone to problems. The most common of these problems is duct leaks, which can from from mistakes made during installation, animal activity, or even years of expansion and contraction due to temperature changes.
For the most part, these leaks can be treated on a case–by–case basis, using measures like duct sealing or insulation. Eventually, however, the problem will progress beyond simple here–and–there leaks. The ductwork will eventually become so worn out that sections of it will start separating, creating massive gaps that contribute to large losses of output for climate control systems in the home. When that happens, you're going to need more drastic measures.
When Duct Replacement Is Necessary
Duct repair and replacement usually involves installing new sections of ductwork, even if the rest of the system is completely fine. Sometimes, one section of the ducts has been subject to more wear and tear for whatever reason and must be replaced a bit early. This is often the case with the aforementioned gaps, where one part of the ducts literally can't keep it together anymore.
Duct replacement can also include the entire system, if the ductwork is simply too old and worn out for piecemeal measures to be effective. This is obviously much more labor intensive, but the effect of having entirely new ductwork on the efficiency and comfort of your home is quite noticeable.
We Offer Full Duct Repair and Replacement Services in Chicago, IL
Though ducts may seem simple in terms of their construction, they should only ever be handled by professional contractors. The size, shape, and position of your ducts are all specific to your home, and are meant to facilitate the flow of air as efficiently as possible.
Duct repair and replacement services, when conducted properly, will preserve those characteristics. If you start messing around in the ducts on your own, though, you will run the risk of somehow disrupting the careful balance that allows them to operate properly. So, call Elm Heating & Cooling, Inc. if you find yourself needing duct repair or replacement services. We offer comprehensive services throughout Chicago, IL. If your ducts are in poor shape, we'll make sure that they're restored to proper function.

The TH/Slate Green Challenge Week Six
Think water and global warming, and melting Arctic ice caps may come to mind. That may seem kind of far away, but the water you use at home does in fact have something to do with the melting poles. That's because every time you heat up water for a bath or to wash the dishes, CO2 is released. So using less hot water means fewer CO2 emissions. Since the average American household expends about 14 percent of its energy usage on heating water, this week's Slate Green Challenge with TreeHugger is designed to help you use hot water more efficiently, without asking you to resort to cold showers. (Though if you did do that, you'd save a bundle in carbon dioxide emissions.) Click on through to read this week's article and take the Green Challenge quiz. ::Green Challenge Water
What the heck is the Green Challenge anyway? Click here to find out.

Holidays are an exciting time. You get to spend time off of work with your friends and family. However, these special days aren't always safe. Unfortunately, safe driving on holidays is hard to come by. People are often irresponsible on the roads during holidays; and because of this our new Toyota dealership near Charlotte wants to share safe driving tips for holidays so you can protect yourself and keep your precious passengers safe.
Practice N Charlotte Toyota safe driving techniques on holidays
Holidays like New Year's Day, Memorial Day, Halloween, and Fourth of July are infamous for road dangers. In fact, Independence Day is the most dangerous day to be on the road due to drunk drivers. Driving can be unpredictable, so it's important to always be ready. Keep yourself and your family safe with Toyota of N Charlotte's holiday safe driving tips.
Holiday Safe Driving Tip #1: Learn how to spot drunk driving
First and foremost, if you have had any alcoholic beverages, you should not get behind the wheel of your N Charlotte Toyota. If you plan on drinking during a holiday celebration, you should establish a designated driver or plan on having a cab or friend pick you up.
However, if you are safe to drive your N Charlotte Toyota, you should know how to spot a drunk driver on the road so you can protect yourself and other drivers on the road. The most common indicators of a drunk driver include:
- Swerving in and out of lanes
- Headlights off
- Sudden stops and accelerations
Holiday Safe Driving Tip #2: Avoid distracted driving
Distracted driving is considered anything that takes your hands off of the wheel, eyes off of the road, or mind off of driving your N Charlotte Toyota. Keep all distractions out of sight, out of reach, and out of mind. Place your phone in a spot of your N Charlotte Toyota where you will not be tempted to check it. Avoid all other distractions including eating, grooming, playing with the radio, too many passengers, etc.
Holiday Safe Driving Tip #3: Use defensive driving techniques
While traveling in your N Charlotte Toyota on a holiday, you must be completely aware of your surroundings and paying attention to the road and the other drivers around you. Anticipate the moves of other motorists and have a safe route in mind if a driver were to make an unexpected move.
Holiday Safe Driving Tip #4: Drive safe at night
When driving under the cover of night, safe driving experts say to always use your headlights. Not only will you be able to see, but other drivers will be able to see you too. If no other drivers are around and the surroundings are dark, use your high beams for maximum visibility.
Stay safe out there!
Toyota of N Charlotte wishes you happy holidays and safe travels! Remember, never get behind the wheel if you have been drinking and do not drive if you are tired. Drunk driving is extremely dangerous and so is driving while fatigued. If you're unfit to drive, call a friend or a cab to get you home safely.

Watch how to make this recipe.
In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon until crisp. Drain on brown paper. Remove all but 1 tablespoon of fat from the pan. Place the bread slices in a food processor and pulse until coarse crumbs are formed. Reserve 1 cup breadcrumbs for Round 2 Recipe, Fried Potato Cakes. Add the remaining breadcrumbs to the skillet and cook until they are lightly toasted, about 5 minutes. Set aside
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a 9 by 13-inch baking dish with nonstick spray.
In a small saucepan over low heat, warm the milk and butter.
Place the potatoes into a large pot, cover with cold water, add a generous pinch of salt, and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Cook until tender and they crumble when pressed with a fork, 15 to 20 minutes. When the potatoes are cooked through, drain them well, put them back into the pot, and mash them.
Slowly mix in the warm milk and butter mixture until incorporated. Mix in the grated cheese and cream cheese. Don't over mix or the potatoes will become gummy. Season, to taste, with salt and pepper. (Reserve 2 cups mashed potatoes for Round 2 Recipe).
Put the potatoes into the prepared baking dish, crumble the bacon over the top, and sprinkle evenly with the breadcrumbs. Bake until heated through and golden brown on top, 25 to 30 minutes. Serve garnished with chives.

This is a guest post from Matt, a long-time GRS reader.
After earning a master's degree in electrical engineering, my father joined a large technology company where he did quite well for himself. The company transferred him twice, requiring him to pick up and move his newly-created family across the country. Then he was laid off.
Vowing never to let this happen again, he leveraged his network to recruit good people for a new electrical engineering business of his own. Over the last few decades, his business has grown well and he has achieved financial independence.
Meanwhile, it seems like every day I hear about someone I know being laid off, including here on Get Rich Slowly, where there are questions from readers on what to do after job loss. For many, as with my father, starting a business has always been a goal, and giving entrepreneurship a shot after being laid off is a natural next step. But is it a wise one?
Uncertain Success
You can be successful, as my dad has been, by starting a business after losing your job. The question is whether you would have been more successful if you controlled when to go down the path to business ownership.
- Would it have taken you fewer years to become profitable if you waited until the market was right?
- Would your life and the life of your family have been easier if you built up more capital?
- Could you have achieved the same outcome with considerably less risk to your savings, your credit, and your family?
Starting a business is scary, and it should be. Businesses require significant investments of savings, credit, time, and energy. After having heard my father's success story, you might be surprised that I don't believe starting a business after having been laid off is a very good idea; in fact, just about any other time would be better.
Emergency Fund Burn Rate
After a layoff, your most important asset is your emergency fund. Aside from temporary government assistance, your emergency fund is the only way you can continue putting food on the table for yourself and your family. If your new business venture fails, not only are you back in this tough job market, but you have likely burned through your savings.
Even if your business is ultimately successful, your 8-month emergency fund won't last eight months when it has to support you, your family — and your business. Can your emergency fund last until your business is profitable? How certain are you, especially in this economy where your potential customers may be holding more tightly to their pocketbooks?
Timing is Everything
When you are voluntarily leaving the employment world to start a business, you are controlling when you've built up enough savings to hedge against the risks involved. You are picking the right time to enter the market based on the costs and projected revenue. You are taking into account current rents, equipment costs, tax incentives, and a ton of other business considerations aside from your own personal financial situation.
Psychological Barriers to Starting a Business
For many people, fear is an overwhelming barrier to entrepreneurship. And when someone else makes the decision to leave your current job for you, it surely makes that part easier. I think this is why many people view job loss as an opportunity to take the leap. But it's important to realize that you are almost certainly in a much better position financially, emotionally, and strategically when you have made the decision while still enjoying the safety of a steady income.
Necessity is the mother of invention, and suddenly needing a source of income can be a serious psychological motivator. The time is not ideal to jump into business ownership, but don't waste the motivation!
While you are searching for your next job, I think it would be a great idea to devote some of your free time to further developing your ideas for a business. Then once you've obtained your next job, re-established yourself financially, built-up excess savings, and determined the proper time to enter the market, you can begin to implement the idea with confidence and a much faster road to success.
If you are still viewing your unemployment as an opportunity to open your business, I strongly encourage you to decide as if you still had a paycheck. That way, emotion and any feeling of desperation does not drive you to take on too much risk. Move forward with the process, but take extra care to account for the extra personal risk!

Are you in the mood to rock around the clock? Host a sock hop party! Gather your friends and roll up your jeans. This is a great party theme for getting everyone involved and up on the dance floor. Here are our favorite ideas for a 50s theme party that's a blast from the past!
Sock Hop Party Invitations
Fun invitations can make your guests feel special before the party even starts. You can purchase some pre-made invitations, or with a little creativity, make some yourself. Here are some ideas for both options:
Cool Shades Invitations — Thinking of having your guests come in to your sock hop party in 50s costumes? Give them a head start by sending your invitations with your party information written on a decorative tag and attached to a pair of cool sunglasses. You could send black sunglasses to the guys and cat eye sunglasses to the gals. Then they'll be ready to party in style!
Sock Invitations — Want your party to truly be a sock hop? Send your guests invitations written on a crazy sock! Suggest that they wear their brightest, silliest, or most outrageous socks to the party, or ask for a donation of a pair of socks from each guest to give to a local charity.
45 Record Invitations — Scour second hand stores for old 45 records, or make some of your own out of black posterboard. Write up your party information on a smaller sized circular label for the inner part of the record. If you use real records, be sure to send them in padded envelopes so that they don't break in the mail. Here are some fun sock hop party invitations that you can purchase from our friends at Amazon:
Sock Hop Fill-In Invitations
Sock Hop Party Invitations
**General Invitation Tips** — If you choose to make your own invitations, don't forget to include the date, location, and time of your party. It is also helpful to put the host's name, RSVP by date, and either your phone number or email. If you want your guests to come in 1950s costumes, your invitation should also mention this.
Sock Hop Decorations
Fabulous '50s Party Supplies
Black, white, turquoise and pink are all great colors for sock hop decorations. You can incorporate these colors into your decor by mixing them up in your tableware, and also by using them in things such as balloons and streamers. Here are some other 50s theme party decoration ideas:
Create a Fun 1950s Table Setting — Start with a checkered tablecloth, add color coordinated tableware, and use black sunglasses as napkin rings to hold folded napkins. Then make a centerpiece by using a six-pack of small glass Coca Cola bottles on a record as an anchor for a balloon bouquet. Scatter pieces of Bazooka bubblegum on the table as edible confetti!
Use a Larger Than Life Guest Attendee — Purchase a life-sized stand up of Elvis Presley, Marilyn Monroe, or James Dean. These also make a fun addition to a photo area where your guests can get their picture taken with the stars!
Create a Dance Floor — If you're having a sock hop party, you are going to have to have a dance floor. Clear the furniture from an area so your guests can rock around the clock. If you want to go all out, buy a roll of poly vinyl and lay it down for a true dance floor feel.
Hang 45″ Records — Use these classic records as ceiling danglers throughout your party area.
Make or Purchase a Cardboard Jukebox — Every 50s theme party needs a good jukebox to keep the music rolling. While you may not have a real jukebox available, you can purchase a pre-made cardboard jukebox, or make one of your own using a large piece of butcher paper. Scattering inflatable guitars and microphones can also create a sock hop feel to your party (and get your guests rocking out at the same time!)
Play a 50s Movie — If you have a television in or near your party area, consider playing a classic movie like Grease for when your guests want to take a break from the dance floor.

Sock Hop Ideas for Attire
Wondering what to wear to a sock hop party?? Go all out! Dressing for the party is half the fun. Here are some ideas for 50s costumes:
For the Ladies:
- Saddle Shoes and Bobby Socks
- Poodle Skirts
- White Blouses
- Cuffed Jeans
- Scarves for your Hair and Neck
- Cat Eye Sunglasses
- Pink Ladies Jackets
- Ponytails
For the Guys:
- Cuffed Jeans
- T-Shirts with Rolled Up Sleeves
- Leather Jackets or Varsity Jackets
- Converse All-Stars
- Greased Back Hair
- Black Sunglasses
Of course, you could always wear a costume. Here are some fun 50s theme party costumes we've found online:
Sock Hop Poodle Dress
Sandy Costume
Greaser Jacket
Sock Hop Party Activities
DANCING! — If it's a sock hop party, there has to be dancing! Make sure that you've come up with a 1950s playlist for your event, or found a DJ or music station that will keep the hits rolling all night. Use iTunes, or choose from the many great 50s CDs available and put together your own party hit list.
Hire a Dance Teacher — If your budget allows, consider hiring a dance teacher to come teach your guests some popular dances of the 1950s. Some fun group dances from the 50s were the Twist, the Limbo, the Hand Jive, the Mashed Potato, and the Stroll. Learning a dance as a group gets everyone involved and your shy guests out on the floor.
Dance Floor Avalanche — This game will help you "to warm-up" shy people. As the music plays, one pair begins to dance. At the instructor's signal this pair splits up and asks 2 more partners to dance. Again, at the next instructor's signal these 2 pairs break and ask to 4 more partners to dance etc. The number of dancing pairs grows like an avalanche.
Set up a Photo Backdrop Area — If everyone at your party is wearing their coolest 50s attire, setting up an area for pictures can be lots of laughs and a super ice breaker. Buy a 1950s photo backdrop, or hang a large piece of 50s motif fabric and set out some props such as sunglasses, wigs or jewelry. Then either get someone to be a designated photographer or leave out a camera for some impromptu fun. These photos make great souvenirs or party keepsakes.
Have a Hula Hoop Contest — Who can keep it going the longest? Give out hula hoop awards to the best hip swiveler.
Have a Bubblegum Blowing Contest — Give everyone one or two pieces of Bazooka, which was very popular in the 1950s, and see who can make the biggest bubble.
Play Name That Tune — Play a few notes of some well-known 50s hits and see who can name that tune in the shortest time.
Sock Hop Party Food
Here are some classic 1950s favorites that you might consider for a sock hop party menu:
- Hamburgers
- French Fries
- Pizza
- Milk Shakes or Coke Floats
- A Make Your Own Sundae Bar
Sock Hop Party Favors
Party favors are a fun way to send your guests home with a special memory of your dance. Here are some great options for favors:
- Black Sunglasses
- Fuzzy Dice
- A CD Compilation of 1950s Music
- 1950's Retro Candies

NEWPORT NEWS — Reverberations from large budget cuts on the judicial system are being felt at the federal courthouse in downtown Newport News — and could be felt more sharply if steep cuts hit the U.S. Marshals Service.
In recent weeks, three positions at the courthouse — one bankruptcy court clerk and two deputy courtroom clerks in district court — have been eliminated. They are being replaced with one entry-level intake counter clerk who will be one of two clerk's office employees remaining in the building.

Eyelid Lift in Las Vegas Nevada – Blepharoplasty
Introduction to Eyelid Surgery
There is no question that age takes its toll on the body. Unfortunately, the eyes are one of the first indications of the aging process. Eyelids tend to droop due to thinning skin that begins to stretch, at times even limiting eyesight. Unsightly bags appear under the eyes while telltale wrinkles develop at the corners with creasing above the eyebrows, all working to create a tired appearance. Even though you may not feel old or tired, your eyes say you are. Eyelid surgery, or blepharoplasty, performed on either or both upper and lower lids can alleviate the problem and help the eyes sparkle once more. Many blepharoplasty patients enjoy a restored confidence in their appearance as their eyes take on a more youthful glow.
About the Procedure
The procedure itself is relatively simple. It is usually performed in a surgical center, hospital or surgically equipped office as an outpatient. After receiving intravenous sedation or a general anesthesia, the drooping upper eyelid is corrected by surgically cutting a line along the natural eyelid crease. The plastic surgeon then removes or redistributes the fat deposits, tightens eyelid muscles and decreases the amount of extra skin in the area. When the lower lid is the culprit, an incision is made below the lower eyelash line and the extra skin is taken off. Excess stores of fat are also removed or repositioned to tighten the area. An alternative method is to perform a transconjunctival incision inside the lower lid, taking out or repositioning the excess fat. Incisions are sutured or taped and after a short recovery period, the patient is free to go home and recuperate. The patient can expect immediate results although swelling of the eyelid area will continue for a week to ten days.
Prime Candidates for Eyelid Surgery
Eyelid lifts are among the top cosmetic surgeries performed today. Age is not a factor and the surgery has been successfully used on patients of all ages. Candidates who have healthy facial muscles and tissue, do not smoke and have no life-threatening sicknesses or autoimmune problems that could interfere with healing are excellent prospects for eyelid surgery. Good candidates have realistic goals and a positive attitude toward the outcome. Men and women alike enjoy the results of eyelid surgery to improve their features and add a sparkle that they enjoyed in their more youthful days.
The recovery process is relatively fast. After the procedure, the patient may experience swelling in the area with bruising and some discomfort. Eyes may be irritated or feel dry. Cold compresses applied to the area along with medication and specialized ointments to aid in the healing process relieve these post-surgical conditions. It is important to follow safe sun protection using dark sunglasses until the surgical area has completely healed. The average patient is up and moving immediately and may return to a completely normal schedule within seven to ten days. Eyelids continue to smooth as time goes by revealing a more youthful appearance.

Beautiful house located next to the Saja National Reserve.
This property, with traditional appearance, has modern architect-designed interiors.
It is situated less than an hour away from Santander (P&O Ferry and Ryanair Airport) in rural countryside with spectacular views of the mountains in one of the most beautiful valleys in Cantabria.
Strategically located, it is only half an hour from the beach and half an hour from the ski resort of Alto Campoo. It is the perfect choice to take a relaxing break at any time of year.
Car is recommended, however there is a direct connection by bus to the village from Santander.
Helguera is located right in the centre of Cantabria, therefore it is an ideal base to explore the area, a great place if you are planning for a long term stay, and also a good starting point if you are planning to travel further inland. It has excellent communications, having the Santander - Madrid motorway just 1km away.
It is an ideal accommodation if you want to stay in a peaceful and quiet place but within easy reach of services and ammenities. The house, an oasis of tranquility, is surrounded by fields and mountains where kids can play around and ride their bikes without any traffic or dangers.
If you wish to go to the beach or practice water sports in the 'Pantano del Ebro' (Ebro River Reservoir) it will take you no longer than a 25 minute drive. Among nearby points of interest or day visits we have the following:
The Roman archeological site of Julióbriga, the medieval Argüeso Castle, a recreation of an ancient Cantabrian village, are all just a 15 minute drive away.
Casa acogedora y con bonito diseño muy bien situada en un pueblo muy tranquilo rodeado de muchas opciones para disfrutar de la naturaleza. Rocío te asesora fenomenal de todo lo que necesites según tus gustos por la zona.
This was a great house for our family. The property is accurately described with everything provided for a relaxing holiday . Nicely renovated with a great garden for the kids to run around in. This is a great home base to explore the region. We had a wonderful stay !
We had two beautiful weeks in Molledo. The house is modern, clean and lovely with a garden. We had sunny weather and did a lot of things, went to the different beaches (you need 30 minutes to get there, Molledo is situated in the mountains), to the caves of altamira, to rafting, to Bilbao and we had two very nice meetings with Jaime, Rocio and Maria. The customer service was really good! Of course, we can recommend this property.
Located in a small village in the middle of Cantabria, it is the perfect spot to recharge your batteries and enjoy the fresh air an marvellous views of green Spain.
We have enjoyed the rafting experience and the beautiful nature of the Alto Ebro river, the lovely beaches, the wonderful time hiking in the mountains and the nice weather.
Highly recommended!
Nous garderons un très bon souvenir de nos vacances dans cette belle location : rénovée avec goût (intérieur contemporain), jardin clos au milieu des pâturages avec vue sur les montagnes, point de départ de nombreuses excursions y compris en bord de mer ... sans oublier l'accueil très chaleureux des propriétaires. A recommander !
Maravillosa estancia descubriendo los pueblos de Cantabria desde Helguera. Ambiente muy acogedor y preciosa casa totalmente reformada con muy buen gusto. Habitaciones y baños completos e impecables. Cocina totalmente equipada con horno, microondas, menaje, etc.
Buena situación, no lejos de Santander y a un paso el parque natural del Saja-Besaya.
Además hemos disfrtuado de una calurosa acogida por parte de Jaime y Rocío, atentos, disponibles y nada intrusivos.
The house is located between the sea and the mountains in the Iguña Valley.This region also has a spa with mineral-medicinal waters, in Las Caldas de Besaya.
Helguera conserves one of the most interesting specimens of Mozarabic architecture in Cantabria: a tenth-century parish church with a rectangular apse covered by a barrel vault, which houses an eighteenth-century altarpiece.
There is a green pedestrian route that boasts great cultural and natural interest, and takes you along the best preserved stretch of the Pisoraca-Julióbriga-Portus Blendium Roman road. This is a highly recommendable and simple route that can be covered in under 2 hours, and there are railway stations at the start and finish of the route, thus making it easier.There is also a long trail that crosses the Saja National Reserve. The trail travels through vast beech and oak tree forests, beautiful brañas (high pastureland) filled with holly trees, and some of Cantabria's most attractive and interesting villages.

A Few Shepherds crook handles ready to mount to a shank or shaft before completion. Shepherds crook walking sticks are one of our most popular walking sticks, made from Irish Ash and Hazel these crook walking sticks are 100% native timbers and home grown from the forest around us. We cut our Ash handles in such a way that the grain runs from the tip of the handle to the base where it connects to the walking stick shaft. This gives the walking stick handle much more strength and durability. We can safely say these crook walking sticks are very strong and will last a lifetime, but of course not indestructible.
Pictured left is the spacers we use for the joint off most walking sticks we use, we prefer to use a spacer as collars are a bit big a uncomfortable when holding the walking cane. The spacer leaves you with a very smooth finish from the handle to the shaft, we much prefer this than any collar but it all depends on the person. We can custom make any stick that you like, just drop us a call or email and we can work on your design.
