Excellent and House Reef is a hit!
I had a great time!
Beautiful island only 20 minutes speedboat transfer. Wonderful house reef and turquoise lagoon. Perfect for days existing of snorkelling and floating in the warm sea. We saw amazing sea life, turtles, black and white tip reef sharks, eagle ray, sting ray, clown fish, giant trevelli fish, so many to mention. Snorkel fins and mask were complementary. The friendly staff were prepared to go the extra mile, set up a table especially for us on the beach near the water on Asian experience night and did the same without any prompting on BBQ night. Food wonderful, lots of reef fish dishes, menus that highlighted Maldivian food. Breakfast buffet very good with welcome drink and waiter service. Food and wine expensive but it didn't stop us having delicious cocktails at sundown in the lighthouse bar! Cocktails served with the most delicious canapés, loved the spring rolls dipped in sauce! Dinner in the lighthouse restaurant was special, I had snapper fillets which were super gorgeous but needed a sauce. Coconut ice cream is a dream and an absolute must have. Island has enough a la carte restaurants with enough variation in the menu along with the themed evenings. The beach villas are private and beautifully maintained, everything is within easy walking distance. Only need flip flops even for the managers cocktail party! We had perfect weather, calm seas and a fabulous time. Only a slight issue with the bill at the end and could have given it more attention to getting it right.
great staff and hospitality, if you are looking for best treatment their SPA is the best. Also nice areas for snorkeling.
It was our frst time visiting the Maldives and Baros lived up to everything we wished for. Being only 25 minutes by speed boat from the airport we wondered about aircraft noise but only seen 2 planes in 5 days and heard no noise. The staff were very friendly and couldnt do enough for you. We will definately go back again to Baros Island.

Written by: Rev. Mark Colwell
Friday July 31, 2015 was an amazing moment for our family! We found ourselves at The Legacy Centre, an outreach facility operated by Christ Tabernacle in Queens NYC! We spent a good portion of the day serving alongside their volunteers who weekly gather supplies for those in poverty and then on Fridays allow people to walk through their warehouse and gather supplies for their households. We spent our time walking with people as they perused the shelves, helping them find what they needed or assisting them to get materials to their vehicles or to the curb to await transportation home. Many of the families were recent arrivals to New York, immigrants attempting to establish themselves in a new country. Others were simply people in difficulty, needing some basic supplies for life at home! The impact of this ministry was obvious to me and as we grabbed the subway towards the place we were staying there was a deep sense of joy in our little crew. Later that day as we chewed on an amazing slice of Brooklyn pizza, we debriefed about our adventure. Jenni and I longed to get to this place with our kids, a place where we lead them into service after preparing them to grow deeper in Christ.
Our journey to NYC actually began in January 2015 when we challenged our children to get involved in a systematic discipleship process. This process involved their committing to daily written devotions, weekly assigned reading and writing as well as weekly family discussion and prayer. We made an offer to our kids that if they participated in this process we would bring them on an epic adventure that would combine service and fun! We met weekly to discuss the things they discovered in Scripture or in the book they were reading, in this case they read 'A Case for Christ,' a book that is centred on basic beliefs about Jesus. Our weekly meetings lasted a hour or so, after a time of discussion we would turn to prayer. Let me admit that these meetings were at times chaotic and frustrating but there were other moments that were amazing and powerful. I think Jesus can relate! Consider the moments he had attempting to shape his own followers!
Jesus committed to intentionally investing in those followers and it is clear that we as parents are called/commanded to do the same thing! Too often we default to the church to disciple our own children when in fact we as parents have far more influence over our kid's lives. They are watching us, they are looking at our lives and our lives are making a statement or just what our faith is worth to us.
I suggest to you that God is calling you to intentionally disciple your own kids. He modelled intentionality so that we would follow his example. He led the original disciples into life altering adventure and along the way he made significant investments in their growth. Please don't think you are not equipped, you are called and if you lead your family deeper you will grow as well! Just attempting to disciple your children will be an adventure!
As I wrap this up let me suggest that I believe adventure is the great missing piece in the lives of most believers in our culture. In fact if you asked me why we lose many of our kids from the church I would suggest boredom and a lack of ownership to be a leading cause. Too often instead of participating in the adventure of Kingdom life, many people simply attend church out of obligation and take it in the presentation. We were not created for attending, we were creating for purpose. Your kids and mine were constructed by God with energy and gifts that they are called to use on an adventure with HIM! What if you decide to lead them deeper into faith and towards life altering adventure? Dream of what God made them to be and don't wait for others to be their deepest spiritual influence. It isn't easy but seeing my kids step up and serve is a deeply fulfilling reality! I do dream that God is going to use them in incredible ways, in truth I am seeing God use them now! Jenni and I are learning as we go. We are keenly imperfect parents but we refuse to allow excuses to keep us from trying to lead. I believe that is all God expects from us, that we try, that we lead our families towards Him. May God help you lead your family forward toward Him and towards the adventure He has constructed for you!
About Mark:
Mark Colwell serves as the District Youth Ministries Director in Western Ontario for the PAOC. He is married to Jenni and has 4 beautiful kids. He has pastored for over 22 years and at the present time spends most of his energy coaching other youth ministry pastors and leaders. Mark remains passionate about discipleship, leadership development and mission.

Wholesale Super Soft Neck Support Travel Pillow With Your Brand Logo
Travel Neck Pillow Feature

Soft velvet outer cover: Comfortable and breathable
100% cotton inner cloth: Protect the memory foam
Adjustable buckle: Prevent Slipping
OEM & ODM: We can manufacture your private label and brand logo
1.Memory foam is made with TDI(toluene diisocyanate) or MDI(methylene diphenyl diisocyanate)
TDI gives a toxic smell and poses a significant risk to consumers and workers.
MDI, though more expensive, is safer and less toxic in the work environment.
From a manufacturer's perspective, we are concerned about our consumer's and worker's safety. That is the reason why we use MDI instead of TDI.
2.It is often said that the higher density of memory foam is, the better quality it is. Some manufacturer adds the talcum powder to simulate high-density memory foam. The service time of their product is 1-2 years. We don't use talcum powder so that our product can keep good performance at least 5 years.
3.The average density of our memory foam is 4.37lb per cubic feet.(70 Kg per cubic meter). Due to the low-temperature resistance, they can keep good performance at -15 degrees. Provide you with intimate support in the cold environment.
We're so confident in our memory foam pillow.

Ma bohème rimbaud pdf
Un article de Wikipédia, l'encyclopédie libre. Cet article est une ébauche concernant ma bohème rimbaud pdf poésie.
Poésies est le titre attribué aux recueils des poèmes écrits par Arthur Rimbaud entre 1869 et 1872. Rechercher les pages comportant ce texte. La dernière modification de cette page a été faite le 9 décembre 2017 à 18:23. This article needs additional citations for verification. British electronic duo composed of Imogen Heap and Guy Sigsworth. They released their only album, Details, in 2002. In November 2017, it was announced that Heap and Sigsworth would be reuniting to tour as Frou Frou in conjunction with an Imogen Heap solo tour in 2018.
Their first work together consisted of Heap providing extra vocals for Sigsworth's band Acacia. Sigsworth subsequently contributed to Heap's debut album, i Megaphone, which was released on the now defunct Almo Sounds in 1998. Together they wrote the first single to be taken from i Megaphone, the angst-ridden "Getting Scared," which Sigsworth also produced, and the B-side to the album's second single, "Shine," entitled "Airplane. Having remained friends, the pair kept in contact. In 2001, Sigsworth began to put together an album under the project name of "Frou Frou". The initial project outline was for a collection of tracks written and produced by Sigsworth and added to by singers, songwriters, poets or rappers. One of the first vocalists Sigsworth contacted was Imogen Heap.
Heap relates that Sigsworth invited her to his studio to write lyrics for a four-bar motif he had, on condition that she included the word "love" somewhere. Details album track "Flicks" was born. At the time, Heap was in career limbo. Having been stalled for a year, she welcomed the opportunity to begin collaborating on new tracks with Sigsworth. Further collaborations continued throughout the year with both Heap and Sigsworth playing equal roles in writing, instrumentation and production until nearly half the album was completed.
In November 2017 — sa chàng ca ngợi viết thành thơ. Le avrà dato il benservito, che ripercorre la vita del poeta dal suo incontro con Verlaine fino al viaggio in Africa. Quando vivrà per se stessa e grazie a se stessa, on condition that she included the word "love" somewhere. Louise Labé a; rimbaud diede la celebre e semplice risposta: io non penso più a questo.

There is one who knows all my fears,
All my joy, all my sorrow too.
When I cry to Him, I know He hears.
The Spirit whispers words of comfort, words of truth.
With His hands He'll reach to lift my burden.
With His heart He loves eternally.
With His life in Gethsemane
He suffered for my sins, He paid the price for me.
I made promises long ago.
In this life, my time is not my own.
There are others whom I've been called to serve.
Lord, help me share the love which you have always shown.
With my hands I'll lift another's burden.
With my heart I'll love eternally.
With my life I will serve as He.
I will do the work my Savior has for me.
Take my hands, O Lord, Take my heart.
All I have I freely give to thee.
Use my mind, my soul, Use my feet.
That they may swiftly run to help all those in need.
With my hands I'll lift another's burden.
With my heart I'll love eternally.
With my life, I will serve as Thee.
Until my life reflects Thy light inside of me.
Footsteps, faces, hearts and hands, serving Thee.
While living in Albuquerque, I was asked by the Relief Society President of the Paradise Hills Ward to write a song for our upcoming visiting teaching conference. The theme was "Footsteps, Faces, Hearts and Hands." I have always had a strong testimony of the Relief Society and the work that we can do to lift and help one another in our Savior's service. I know there have been times when I have felt inspired to do something for another that seemed trivial at the time, but which I later learned were answers to prayer. There have been many more times when a kind word, a phone call, a meal, an offer to watch my children, have come from dear sisters as an answer to my desperate prayers for help. I hope the Lord will continue to use me as an instrument in blessing his children, and that my life can reflect His light as I serve Him.

Diet for diabetes
Why is diet for diabetes essential?
Nutrition influences the whole body. Out health depends on the nutrition and vitamins that we get from food. Many health problems can be corrected with healthy diet. Why do you choose natural health foods that improve your health? If some organ is affected by a decease, it should be given sparing conditions and the body should be given ability to overcome the illness. Even when the decease is connected with serious disorders, diet for diabetes brings relief for human body and decreases severity of the decease. In addition, diet nutrition may function as a trainer for deceased organ when diet is organized in a proper way.
Many factors that can affect a complex disease like diabetes. All therapeutic diets should be planned for individual patient taking into consideration these factors. In some cases, it is caused by pancreatic disorders, in another kidney disorders, in yet another case as a result of brain injuries. In other cases, diabetes may be caused by genetics reasons.
Meal planning can be a necessary chore for diabetics. Diets for initial stage of diabetes and for more complicated cases are different. A doctor estimates the severity of decease.
Let us analyze the use of diet foods for the initial stage of diabetes. This diet for diabetes may be used for weight loss as well.
The diet is mostly oriented to significant decrease of carbohydrates consumption, especially the one that is easily digested, small decrease of fat consumption and retaining the level of protein consumption.
That is why your diet should contain: 100 g of proteins, 80 g of fats and 300 g of carbohydrates. Diet for diabetes should lower the consumption of salt.
Liquid consumption equals to 1.5 l (not considering the liquid dishes).
If there are no problems with the stomach health, the culinary processing of food is not restricted. However, the preference should be given to steam cooking, baking stewing and boiling.
What everyday dishes can be included in diet for diabetes?
The range of foods is diversified. It is preferable to use beef, veal, chicken, turkey, rabbit and lamb. Dishes of meat can be fried but only after boiling. You can cook tasty dishes: baked beef or veal with prunes, steam cutlets from chicken or turkey, low-fat barbecues. You can cook soups on not strong broth with addition of different vegetables or allowed cereals. If you like tomato soup, reduce the amount of cream in it. The selection of dishes may be varied. These products lead to continuous weight loss and improve digestion.
Fish dishes should be boiled or baked using low-fat types of fish. You can cook baked stuffed trout or another fish, aspic or steamed fish under milk sauce, etc.
Diet for diabetes allows using up to 2 fried or boiled eggs a day. You can cook omelet or eggs baked with different vegetables.
Low-fat dairy products can be used every day.The consumption of sour cream should be limited.
You can have dairy butter, different vegetable oils, and preferably cold-pressed oils.
Include porridges of oat, buckwheat, fine-ground barley and millet in your diet. Among beans, soy and its products are preferable. Restrict the consumption of haricot, pea and lentil.
Vegetable dishes will help decrease the load on your body and achieve weight loss. Take different types of cabbage, cucumbers, earth apple, artichoke, chicory, vegetable marrow, tomatoes, eggplant, sweet green pepper, asparagus, lettuce, spinach, dill and green onions.
Vegetables like earth apple an artichoke deserve a separate notice. These vegetables are very useful for diabetes. They contain inulin that delays the absorption of glucose into the blood. This stimulates the production of insulin by the body itself. Thus, the dose of medicinal insulin decreases.
You can cook different salads, stewed and baked vegetables or meat with vegetables. For seasoning, you can use sauces based on low-fat meat, mushroom or vegetable broths. Use your imagination and you will enjoy and benefit from your diet.
Such vegetables as potatoes, sweet potatoes, beet, parsley root and green peas should be restricted, because they contain much carbohydrate.
Include products rich in Vitamin C in your diet. This Vitamin stimulates work of pancreas that secretes insulin.
Vitamin C present in lemons, blackcurrant, oranges, spinach, sorrel, lettuce and parsley.
Mainly sour-sweet kinds of fruit and berries should be used. You can cook compotes, musses, jellies with sugar substitutes. You can eat sweets and biscuits made with use of sugar substitutes.
Use different teas: green, herbal and black ones. If you like Rooibos, mate, coffee or cocoa milk, than 1-2 cups a day will do no harm to you. The main thing is, do not use sugar with them. Such juices as tomato juice, fruit and berry without sugar can satisfy thirst and complement diet for diabetes. If you like soda water, prefer low mineralized water or sugar free fizzy drinks.
What should be excluded from diet for diabetes?
- Sweet dairy products and cream
- Animal fats, transfats. Do not take fats left after frying
- Fat broths, milk soups with cereals or noodles, pasta, haricot and pea
- Marinated and salted vegetables
- Canned food since it is low in carbohydrates
- Dates, bananas, grapes, raisins, dry apricots, fins, honey, sweets, biscuits, cakes containing sugar, glucose and fructose
- Juices from sweet fruit and berries, water and drinks with sugar syrup
- Restrict taking pork, especially fat one.
Keep your diet. You should have at least 4 meals a day. Strictly control the consumption of carbohydrates throughout the day. Always remember, if you take insulin, than the amount must be timed to coincide with your diet and activity levels.
Using diet for diabetes you will feel better and ensure normal weight loss.

We are going to hear a lot this year about how we could solve all of our fiscal problems if we would just raise the taxes on the top 1% of income earners back to the Clinton Era rates (or raise them from 35% to 39.6%). This is nonsense, of course; in 2009 the top 1% earned $1.3 trillion in income, so if we raised their income tax rate 4.6% we'd raise a grand total of $60 billion, assuming of course, that they didn't change their behavior when faced with higher income taxes (a bad assumption, as conservative economists have been telling people forever).
However, I have a different 1% plan. What if Republicans campaigned on this notion? Let's enact a new tax law that says that the minimum federal income tax anyone can pay is 1%. That is, your earned income tax credit and all of the other deductions that get us to the point where 49% of Americans pay no federal income tax -- let's wipe all those away, and institute a minimum 1%. Is that too much for the privilege of being a citizen? Is that going to impoverish anyone? Is anyone going to starve if they get that tiny bit of skin in the game -- $200 for someone who makes $20,000? I don't think so. But let's compare how much that would raise. The amount of income earned by people in the bottom 50% (I'm using this as a proxy for the 49% who pay no income tax) in 2009 was $1.05 trillion. So my 1% plan would raise approximately $10 billion in taxes. But (and here's the rub), we'd also be doing away with the $51 billion in earned income tax credits (in 2008) that are essentially negative income taxes paid by lower income individuals and families. The upshot: my 1% plan would raise almost the same amount as Obama's 1% plan, if not a little more.
The difference would be that my plan would be premised on the notion that all citizens should really pay a "fair share," as opposed to the entirely absurd premise that a "fair share" means the few people we call "wealthy" pay a lot more and most of the rest of my fellow Americans pay nothing.
Of course, neither plan would make a dent in our federal deficit. They'd just make one side or the other feel better.

" I was a Physical Therapy patient at Synergy Medical Centers when I started the weight loss program. After 4 months on the program I have lost 58lbs. I now have more energy and the motivation to keep the weight off. I just finished my second week and I have already lost 18 pounds. I am thrilled with my results and know I will accomplish my goal weight soon." Then, one day I saw a co-worker whom I had not seen in several months and she had lost weight and looked great. I have successfully lost 126 pounds and went from a size 28-30 pant size to a size 16. The entire staff at Synergy is friendly, helpful, encouraging, and supportive. Lost 126 pounds in 9 months.

Rennes are up to third place in Ligue 1, after two second half goals gave Carlos Bocanegra's side the comeback win over Lorient. Carlos started in his usual position at left back, played the full 90 minutes and earned a yellow card for his troubles.
Freddy Adu came on as a sub for AS Monaco but the team conceded two late goals to fall 4-3 to Bordeaux.

In correspondence addressed to the Office of the Under-Secretary-General, Department of Economic and Social Affairs (DESA), ICANN President and CEO Rod Beckstrom indicates that he looks forward to forthcoming discussions in New York on 14 December.
Per resolution 2010/2 of the Economic and Social Council, these consultations are meant to be "open and inclusive consultations involving all Member States and other stakeholders with a view to assisting the process of enhanced cooperation ...in respect of international public policy issues pertaining to the Internet ... through a balanced participation of all stakeholders in their respective roles and responsibilities."
Rod's letter references DESA correspondence sent to him earlier on 6 October. That correspondence is not posted on ICANN's website.

MAYBE your child can't pick up a 140-pound log and throw it end-over-end the way burly athletes can at the Virginia Scottish Games.
But what about pitching a six-foot-long cardboard tube? Or throwing a brick instead of a 16-pound river stone? Or tossing a paper bag stuffed with straw instead of the 25-pound bale of hay the big guys use? Now that's the ticket.
And likely as not, your youngster will go home with a ribbon and a smile and memories of a pleasant Saturday on the grounds of Episcopal High School in Alexandria. Maybe, he or she will also come away with a bit of history and an appreciation of things Scottish.
The 13th annual Virginia Scottish Games open at 8 a.m. both Saturday and Sunday. As a family outing, they're close to ideal. Youngsters 15 and under are admitted free when accompanied by an adult (and even if your son or daughter wants to attend without you, he or she will pay only $1). There's room for the kids to romp, places for picnicking in the shade, Scottish specialties to buy from vendors, athletic and musical competitions to watch, an exhibit of classic and antique British cars, the colorful massed bagpipe-and-drum bands and parade of the clans and tartans.
And then there are the dogs.
For centuries, the border collie has been the working dog of the Scottish highlands, prodding recalcitrant sheep into and out of pens, through gates and around obstacles. And every year, Dr. Gib McLaughlin, a dentist from Burns Head Farm in Indiana, Pa., has brought his dogs and his sheep to Alexandria for one of the best-liked events at the Scottish Games, the sheepdog demonstrations both days.
There are plenty of other dogs at the Scottish Games as well: little barking cairn terriers that race frantically along a course after a rabbit skin, deerhounds that demonstrate coursing and retrieving. In fact, 13 breeds of Scottish dogs are scheduled to appear, many in obedience trials and others in the dogs' parade.
While the dogs are real crowd- and kid-pleasers, athletic competition has been at the heart of such gatherings since the days of the ancient highland games of Northern Scotland when military chiefs would demonstrate their strengths at annual gatherings.
In modern times, the events have evolved into tests of skills needed in farming. The tossing of the log, or caber, is one of seven contests most often included in the heavy-events competition at the Highland Games. The others are the stone throw, the 28-pound weight throw, the 56-pound weight throw and 56-pound toss, the Scottish hammer throw, and the bale (sheaf) toss. (Items are thrown for distance, tossed for height.) Together, they are called the heptathlon, and the events at Alexandria's Scottish Games this year serve as the annual U.S. Highland Heptathlon Championships.
If your kids are inspired by the strength of professional and amateur competitors, they can test their own skills Saturday from 1 to 3 in low-key contests organized by Carol and Dan Boebel of Rockville.
The games, for youngsters from about five to 14, "are meant to be similar to the authentic athletic games, but on a child's level," Carol Boebel explained. "Instead of a bale toss, we have a big paper bag stuffed with straw that the kids can pitch with their hands. Instead of cabers, we have mini-cabers, big cardboard tubes that come inside of rolled carpeting . . . The weight object is a common brick wrapped with newspaper and tape that they pick up with two hands and pitch. We do have a foot race, too."
Last year, she said, several hundred youngsters participated in the games. And although "some of the kids who have done it year after year come with their kilts on and look very efficient," she noted, "it really doesn't make any difference." Youngsters who arrive from out of the crowd do just as well. "Anyone who shows up can participate in the next heat. They need only to wait long enough for the event to take place." She organizes heats of six to 10 children by age, declares winners and presents ribbons (including lots of honorable mentions) immediately.
When the kids are finished with their own games, they can wander with you among the more than 20 clan society tents to trace their genealogy and shop among the vendors for memorabilia and edibles. They may come away with a new appreciation for the fearsome Scots who went into battle to the skirl of the pipes and toss tapered tree trunks for the fun of it. Those guys in plaid skirts are no sissies. VIRGINIA SCOTTISH GAMES -- 8 to 5 Saturday and Sunday at Episcopal High School, 3900 W. Braddock Rd., Alexandria. Advance tickets (two days for $8, one day for $5) are available at the Ramsay House Visitors Center, 221 King St., Alexandria, between 9 and 5 through Friday. Tickets at the gate are $10 for both days, $7 for one day. Children 15 and under are admitted free with a paying adult. Unaccompanied children pay $1 at the gate. Concessions and clan tents will be open from 9 a.m.
By car from I-395 (Shirley Highway), take the Seminary Road exit east. Free on-street parking. By Metro, take the Yellow Line to Braddock Road or King Street stations and catch Alexandria's DASH bus AT-5 for 60 cents to Early Street/West Braddock Road stop. Call 370-3274 for DASH schedule.

hola fellow bloggers!
i hope you all had a great holiday weekend!!! any fun stories?
My weekend was so nice. Brandon and i had date night on Friday. i got off at 4 so i went to Longs to bye hair dye. MY FIRST MISTAKE! i really wanted to dye my hair an all over brown since it had the reddish tint from dying it too much going on. so i bought "Natural Brown" thinking it's ok if it's light i just want it all one color. So i put it on and i started packing for San fran. 25 mins goes by and it's time to wash it out. I get in the shower and it literally looked like Barney (yes the dinosaur) threw up....it was purple madness in our shower. i tried not to freak out thinking i just died my hair purple. well, i get out and dry my hair and it's jet black!!!!!!! ugh! i know the box dye is no bueno but EFF! my hair is black! :( i want to cry. of course it was too late and i couldnt do anything about it all weekend. i feel gothic. and the bangs dont help. it's so much. Brandon likes it but i can't get used to it. i used to have my hair every color and now black is scary for me. not to mention my forehead was black for two days. terrible experience.
so anyway back to date night. Brandon and i went to the movies and had dinner. love!
Saturday we went to see my dad and then started our road trip to San Jose. we got there around 8 and hung out and went to a bar. sunday we woke up and went to San Fran. LOVE! i am such a city girl. give me tall buildings and people to look at and i am set. We walked around the piers and went for a yummy bloody mary. We ate at Cha Cha cha's on haight street and went back to Gina's house. we drank and hung out and played the WII!!!! love MarioKart!
Monday we hung out and went to Santana row for some shopping. we had a delicious margarita at a cute bar in the middle of the street.
Tuesday was race day. All the guys were so cute. Mark came in first and Brandon came in second. we raised a lot of money which was a huge success! Angelique and i got to sit inside the track and we were the Race for a Reason cheerleaders. The guys that worked there let me wave the white flag (last lap) and Angelique got to wave the checkered flag. it was so fun! The race ended at 8:30pm or so and we hung out for a bit and headed home. Brandon is a trooper! He raced for two hours and then had to drive 5 hours home. craziness. we got home so late and i am in serious drag mode right now.

Made it! Staggering. I don't have the least interest in a drink (this is a victory) but I feel like I could sleep for a week. Onward…
Month: May 2017
You Have To Do The Work
I was going to blog about anxiety tonight. Day 9 and I am very tired and anxious. Worrrying over the damage I have done to my body with booze and lack of self care, and that awful "Are my pants on backwards? WHY IS EVERYONE LOOKING AT ME??" sensation. But:
We spent yesterday and today sorting through the boys' 88 thousand puzzle pieces to see which puzzles are intact and which we have to let go. At first it looked like complete carnage – a jumble of disparate pieces and little hope that a single whole puzzle would be salvaged. Eventually, we had them more or less sorted into separate piles and then began the task of assembling each one, most without the box or picture to guide us. I repeatedly found myself sizing up a pile and thinking or even saying out loud, "Oh, no guys. This doesn't look like nearly enough pieces." Amazingly, though, a great many of them were all there, including some that I had long since written off and was just postponing chucking out for one last sort-out.
As well as affirming that quantity surveyance and its ilk are not realistic second-career options for me, I was also really struck by the lesson that the ONLY way to make sense of the chaos was to actually do the work of figuring out where all the pieces belonged and fitting them together. I have read a wealth of sobriety blogs and recovery memoirs and various other articles and things about alcohol dependence and addiction, most of which has been incredibly helpful and illuminating and encouraging, but I realised (and this is not at all uncharacteristic for me!) that I have kind of had a sense of having "read to the end" and being able to somehow think my way past all the grind of getting sober – I know how it goes, and I see what you all went through, so I can just skip those middle bits, right? Right? Of course that's not how it works at all. I abused my body and lied to myself for YEARS, and it has been nine short days since I decided to remove alcohol from my life entirely. Of COURSE I am tired and anxious, and still chubby and not seeing even a whiff of a pink cloud, although I remain profoundly relieved if not elated at having finally made the decision. Now, I have to do the work. Again (and again and again) I am so deeply grateful to all of you who have gone before and written with such courage and honesty about your journeys. I may not have the boxes to my own puzzles but it helps more than I can begin to express to be able to take guidance and inspiration from your works in progress.
In Plain Sight: Denial
The post I wrote yesterday was about denial, actually – and then I accidentally deleted it. Definitely some sort of a metaphor there!
Anyway, inevitably, the realizations of this past week have forced me to (begin to) confront the level of denial I have been living with and I am finding it kind of… staggering, honestly. I have been drinking, a lot, for more than 20 years. With rare exception, I drank every day. I drank at least a bottle of wine most nights. I would frequently wake up in the morning with fragmented memories of the (totally rock and roll) evening before – forgotten episodes of binge-watched series, late night fridge forages and one- or two-word exchanges with my often-sober husband before I staggered off to bed and, yes, usually passed out. And that's leaving my demented uni years and 20s right out of it. It is by grace of some sort that I made it to this point at all.
You (I) can't read or say any one of these things out loud without knowing, certainly, that the person being described has a BIG PROBLEM, but in that full knowledge I have languished for years. I did say them out loud today, finally, to the therapist my husband and I started seeing this month to address some parenting challenges we have been facing – whether our kids' school is a good fit for my middle son having seemed to me of more pressing concern than the impact on him and his brothers of having a depressed, alcoholic mother.
Amazing, right? I am trying, for now, not to dwell too heavily on the bitterness and shame that I feel, having finally "seen the light," or whatever and instead to nurture the relief and hope I feel at seeing a way out of the dark place I have been in.
This sure is a journey, huh? Day 8, and I am grateful to be here. Thank you for being here too!
Technology, possibly
I wrote a long post and instead of publishing it appears to have vanished into the ether. I got some clarity from the process anyway so I guess I'll focus on that silver lining rather than the frustrating &$@ cloud. 😂 Day 7 and I am glad to be here.
All Title and No Post
Seriously! Possibilities considered and abandoned (THIS MORNING) include but are not limited to:
All the Thoughts Not Marshalled (Is this just FOMO?)
Girl With No Brakes
Grace and Tragedy
This Is Why I Drink (It's not, obviously.)
I Have Lost My Voice
Crawling Out of My Skin
Flat Bottom (or a Bouncer)
It's not that I don't have A LOT to say about all of these, and so so much more besides. I just can't keep any of it in my head, or at least front and centered in my head before the next thought (this is generous) muscles in. I keep having to go back to add more titles as they interrupt the sentence I am trying to form. I have been reading recovery blogs (a little obsessively) for the past few days and have been struck time and again by how inspiring and relatable and honest they are, but also how fully formed the ideas seem to be. How do people know what they want to talk about? I do wonder whether this is what it's like for everybody. I understand (I think) that writing is a craft and has to be worked at, and that is work I have not done.
For as long as I can remember I have had a sense – never terrifically well articulated – that if I could master or even just grasp the practice it may help me to slow down a bit and gain some of the depth of insight/understanding that often passes me by. I am struggling not to use the word "discipline" because there is a lot of weight, and a lot of shame, attached to it for me (if only I had some) but for want of a better one…
It seems to me that my best bet just now is to just keep showing up. I am going to try writing every day (hopefully) and I think I am going to post that here. Even if no one reads it. Because maybe (probably?) no one will read it. Because someone might read it. Ego is a funny and terrible beast! I suspect this is a bit of a rambly and self-serving proposition, but I don't know that I trust myself to keep showing up or be honest if I am guaranteed to be my only audience, and right now I don't know how else to gather my thoughts or find my lost voice (which of course is so much more than that. My lost self, really.)
I stopped drinking alcohol six days ago. I am probably an alcoholic, although that is another word I am finding very challenging and heavy. Language is so complex. I had no "rock bottom," or awful moment of reckoning, which is a grace I believe I have not yet even begun to understand, but in an absurd moment of clarity that I will write about another day I understood that I am MISSING MY LIFE, and it could be such a good one.
Day 5
I don't know yet. I have been lifted up and carried away by the courage of the women on here telling stories that are like mine and not yet mine. They have given me a glimmer of hope and a place to begin. I do not have a history of maintaining any kind of writing practice (or very much else for that matter) so I do not, today, have any reason to believe that I will be able to grasp this particular lifeline* but, perhaps… Writing was always supposed to be my "thing," my gift, what I would do – but I never did. So perhaps now is the time. In the meantime I plan to use this as a pinboard (?) for links to the amazing blogs I have found in the past few days, rather than keep 8 million tabs open in my browser. I am sure there is another way – dare I say a normal way? – but I don't know what it is. Eight million open tabs has always been my MO and I recognize on this clear-eyed day that that is more likely part of my chaos than my salvation. Not sure of the etiquette of linking from a blog that may never be more than this. I hope it's ok!
*Which is not to say that I am not done, done, so fucking done. Thanks to the magnificent Mrs D for this technique, if that's what it is. I see now, and I am done. No more alcohol for me. (Typing that was stupid hard, considering how stupid hopeful and sure I feel.)

ZIONISM / OATHS-----the oaths
MODERATOR Posted - 30 May 2002 19:49
The following Q was posted by MusicMan is a different forum. I am moving it here:
Hey Moderator - I posted these questions elsewhere but I think the topic may have been discontinued. Anyhow, the two questions are as follows:
1) What is the orthodox Jewish view on
MODERATOR Posted - 31 May 2002 2:56
In order to understand the great significance Eretz Yisroel plays in the Torah, we need some background on the very fundamentals of Judaism.
The purpose of the entire world is for us to do Mitzvos, thereby meriting the Final Paradise (Olam Habah) which is what the world will be when Moshiach comes.
Currently, Hashem cannot (kavyochol) send Moshiach, the reason being the world is not ready for it. That means not only the people, but the very world itself. The world is much too unspiritual now, to be able to exist in the atmosphere of spiritual energy that Moshiach will bring. In a nutshell, if Moshiach would come now, it would be like being nuked.
Our job, given to us by Hashem, is to condition ourselves and the world, raising it to a sufficient level of spirituality that it will be ready and fitting for the spiritual energy of Acharis HaYamim (i.e. the post Messianic era).
We do this by performing Mitzvos and learning Torah. The spiritual energy generated by Torah and Mitzvos sanctifies us and the world, raising it higher and higher until it reaches the point where it is ready for Moshiach.
Eretz Yisroel was designed in a very specific spiritual way, in order to assist us in this task. It is imbued with a "sensitivity" to every act of spiritual significance done within its territory, and, through the medium of the Bais HaMikdash and the service done therein, directs that energy throughout the world, thus sanctifying every inch of it, conditioning it for Acharis HaYamim.
You can say that the acts of the Jews provides the energy, and Eretz Yisroel provides the conduit, the arteries that connect the energy generated by us throughout the world.
Eretz Yisroel also has the ability to amplify the energy of any act of spiritual significance done within its borders. So not only does EY provide the conduit to sanctify the world, it also enhances the spiritual energy that we generate at the same time.
NOTE: The above applies not only to Mitzvos, but to aveiros as well. Because of this amplification power of EY, any Mitzvah done in EY is greater than an equal Mitzvah done in Chutz La'Aretz, AND aveirah done in Eretz Yisroel is worse than an equal aveirah done in Chutz LaAretz.
Thus, EY is the best place for Tzadikim and the worst place for Reshayim.
In fact, the land itself, because of its sensitivity to the acts of our souls, is affected by our Mitzvos and Aveiros. When we do Mitzvos in EY we enhance the sanctity of the land. When an aveirah is done in Eretz Yisroel, it pollutes the land, stripping it of its sanctity.
What was supposed to happen then, is that we would fulfill the Torah in EY until the world would be ready for Acharis HaYamim.
Unfortunately, we messed up. We sinned. And the spiritual energy that was generated was no longer strong enough to sanctify the world. EY is the arteries, but Klall Yisroel is the heart. If the heart isn't pumping, the arteries are useless. Never mind the fact that they get clogged up due to our mistreatment of them.
We were no longer able to do our job from within EY. EY as a homeland no longer served any purpose for the nation. We became too spiritually weak for the land.
We were no longer accomplishing our job by being there.
So we went into Golus, to be spread all over the world to MANUALLY sanctify it all over, where previously we were supposed to do it long distance. We lost the ability to use EY to fix the world, but we can do it ourselves, locally, by being all over the world and doing Mitzvos
Hashem gave us the land ON CONDITION that we keep the Torah. We broke the condition so Hashem took away the land. Mipnei Chataeinu Galinu M'Artzeinu.
Whether there is a Mitzvah for individuals to live in EY during Golus is a disagreement in the Poskim. But everyone agrees that as a nation, we no longer have any homeland.
But Jews in Golus are out of their natural environment, which is connected to EY. We have no choice - it's the only way to accomplish our mission in this world, but there's a problem:
The Jewish nation was not designed to live in Golus. We were designed to live as a nation in EY. We have no choice currently because it's more important to fulfill our mission in the world, but because we are not on "home ground" we are like a sheep among 70 wolves.
In Golus the Goyim have the upper hand - and that includes within the borders of EY also, nowadays that Golus has occurred. In our unnatural state of being, we are like living every day with our head in the mouth of the lion. What are we to do to survive?
Hashem told us. He gave us instructions on how to survive Golus. If we do this, we will survive. If not, death and annihilation await us. To quote Chazal "[G-d will] allow your flesh to be hunted like animals in the field."
The instructions are: Shelo yaal bachomah - Do NOT go back to Eretz Yisroel as a national homeland. You may live there as individuals - maybe even it's a Mitzvah to do so - but as a nation, its not yours anymore. You're in Golus. Do NOT try to fight the Golus. It will not work. Instead, live in it.
Two, Lo l'hisgaros b'umos - Do NOT confront the nations of the world. Be subservient to them, accept their yoke, do their will, do not defy their demands, do not say "NO" to their wishes, and do NOT attract attention to yourselves.
The only way to survive with your head in the lion's mouth is to make sure the lion does not get annoyed with your head there. As soon as he gets annoyed, its curtains. The best thing you can do is not be noticed.
As Rav Elchonon Wassermann put it: To the extent that the nations do not pay attention to us, we are safe. To the extent that we are the focus of attention of the nations, we are in danger.
We are in enemy territory in Golus. Our job is to lay low, accept any casualties that may tragically occur, but wait for Hashem to rescue us. If we defy our orders and make like we are a nation like all nations - with an army, a State, demands, territory etc - we will be left on our own, to be hunted down and killed by the wolves c"v.
Just like an assimilated Jew will be subject to anti-Semitism in order to remind him that he is a Jew - he cant change that - so too the sheep (Jews in Golus) who try to make like a wolf (be a nation among the nations) will be reminded that he is a sheep, and the nations are the wolves. Rachmana Latzlan.
This is the only way for us to accomplish our mission in this world. We brought this upon ourselves. We are behind enemy lines and our job is to lay low and "plant" sparks of holiness around the world so that when Moshiach comes those sparks will erupt in a conflagration of spiritual energy that will bring the Ultimate Victory - Acharis Hayamim.
Eretz Yisroel is holy. It still is. But it no longer serves our purpose of a homeland.
Going back to it as a nation - for individuals may (and maybe should) live there, under the sovereignty of other nations - is like the Jews trying now, to move back into a house the bank foreclosed on you years ago. Two thousand years ago. We had a choice. We chose sinas chinam over Eretz Yisroel and the Landlord kicked us out. And now we wander like sheep. The solution is to lay low until the shepherd comes and blows our enemies away.
Our job vis a vis the situation in EY today is to protect the lives of the Jews there. Not to protect the land. One Jewish life is worth more than all the land in the world.
A thousand people would violate Shabbos to save one Jewish life - even if it were merely a doubt of danger. Our most prized possession, to say the least, is a Jewish life.
Whatever it takes to save and to protect the lives of Jews in EY must be done, whatever the cost in terms of territory or national humiliation. One Jew is worth it.
The only question is, what does that entail? The problem is, those privy to the information that can help us make the decision - the politicians and the high government officials - c\do not share this agenda, and they cannot be relied upon to convey the reality to us.
That leaves us with one real option: To turn to Hashem. To pray to the shepherd as lost sheep, begging Him to help us.
There is no other choice.

Just want to point out that the MOD's thoughts on some issues dealing with
There ARE other points of view on modern-day
Just wanted to point out that there IS another side to the matter!
MODERATOR Posted - 02 June 2002 20:24
Sorry, KY, but its not so. The Zionist idea of disregarding the Oaths is Halachicly absurd, and worse, dishonest.
The Oaths are quoted in Chazal, Rishonim and Achronim l'halachah, and have been used throughout history as fact, and nobody until the Zionists came along ever tried to disregard them, due to the obvious wrench they throw in their agenda.
It's a pity that the Rambam, who, in Igeres Taimon warns us not to dare violate the Oaths, did not know that they don't apply.
In fact, one of the most outrageous Zionist falsifications to to claim that the Rambam did not consider the Oaths binding since he did not bring them in his Mishna Torah.
Yeah, right - except for the fact that the Rambam himself warns us not to violate them or else in I.T. Its falsification enough for your ideas when the Rambam disagrees with you, but to have the Rambam himself disagree with your interpretation of the Rambam is living in the twilight zone.
And I guess the Ramban was wrong when he says that the reason Jews en massse (except 1500) did not follow Coresh's call to go back to Eretz Yisroel was because they did not want to violate the Oaths.
And I guess the Maharal was wrong for saying that it is better to die than violate the Oaths.
And I guess, too, that Hashem was wrong for killing all the Bnei Ephraim in the desert for violating the Oaths. I guess Hashem didn't know that the Oaths do not apply.
Please. This is why Zionism is not considered (by anyone except the Zionists) to be a legitimate "shita" but rather a deviation of Judaism, and even idolatry.
In a Machlokes between the Rambam, the Ramban, the Rivash, the Rashbash, the Marhral, Rav Yonason Eyebuschitz and all the others who do believe in the Oaths, never mind Chazal who tell us say masses of Jews have died for violating them - against a few twentieth century Zionist poskim, we pasken like the first side.
Can you please tell me, if all the Zionist heterim did not save the Bnei Efraim, why should we think they will save us?
grend123 Posted - 02 June 2002 22:56
the bnei efraim are a much different story –
1) Its a medrash, not a posuk in torah
2) The land had NEVER been given to bnei yisrael (they were premature in the same way lot was premature in allowing his cattle to graze), while after the second beis hamikdash we say "kidsha shniya kidsha leasid lavo" - its STILL the holy land (it wasn't yet then until yehoshua was koveish it).
Again, this has little or no bearing on post-bayis sheini Zionism.
MODERATOR Posted - 02 June 2002 23:02
Doesn't matter - you still see that violating the Oaths brings death. Which means its binding, in opposition to the opinion of the Zionists who say it's harmless to violate the Oaths for whatever reasons.
PS - The holiness of the land has nothing to do with the Oaths.
KYYLCLH Posted - 02 June 2002 23:26
I believe Rav Aviner has a whole book on this issue. Ever read it?
MODERATOR Posted - 02 June 2002 23:41
If the Oaths were conditional the Bnei Efraim wouldn't have died - for
And the Jews would have been able to ascend in the days of Koresh, for the Goyim surely violated their oath even more until then.
And the Rambam would have no reason to warn us not to violate the Oaths, because the goyim violated their oath even more until then.
And the Gemara would not say that the Oath applies to Bavel, since they violated their Oath in a big way.
The Oaths can't be interdependent because all three Oaths were for the sake of the Jews - as opposed to Interdependent Oaths, where each Oath is for the sake of the Other party.
As a drush, this is cute, but l'halachah, it's a joke.
And it also shows that the Oaths are not non-cognitive Agada, also a scam that ignores the Chazal Rishonim and Achronim.
As for Rabbi Aviners material, yes, I have read it. And Rabbi Teichtel, and Rav Kook (the new material that just came out that includes comments on Kesuvos), and Rabbi Aron Soloveichik, and Rabbi Menachem Kasher, and Rabbi Chaim Zimmerman (did I leave anyone out?)
They're all pretty much repeats of each other, with little variations and additions. Their arguments have long been shown to be useless (in fact, most of them were pre-empted long before these chiburim came out). They're really not impressive.
Here's how this works: Throughout history, Klall Yisroel has had religious, scholarly people who have taken us off the Derech with their Torahs. Korach, Yeravam, the Meraglim etc. All of these were more religious and more knowledgeable than the Zionist Poskim, and on a higher spiritual level. But history - and Chazal - teach us that that's the way the world works. Just because a person or a group of people are "legitimate" does not mean they cannot be totally off the derech. Korach had his followers too - 250 heads of the Sanhedrin - and so sis the others. They had their 'Torahs" and their "proofs" too.
But we know that issues such as these are judged by their own merits, and not by the fact that religious or even scholarly people espouse them.
And on its own merits, Zionism doesn't work. Neither from a Torah perspective nor from a historical perspective.
And even from a "who said what" perspective, the great bulk of Torah leadership - quantity and quality - have said that Zionism is beyond the pale. Not to be considered even a legitimate, minority opinion.
KYYLCLH Posted - 03 June 2002 15:11
"As a drush, this is cute, but l'halacha, it's a joke..." I was going to say the same thing about your arguments.
Has there been a book published countering those 'Zionist' counters to the issue of the three-oaths that you mentioned above, or just that all your Rabbonim 'say' that it's a bunch of junk and has been pre-empted, etc...
Also, you forget the fact that there's historical proof that Hashem didn't hold the 'oaths' against us here. If He wanted to, there would have been ample opportunity to wipe out the Medinah - how about '48,'54,'67,'72 etc... There davka is proof that there was Neis to actually save the then weak Israeli state. I'll tell you some stories if you like...
MODERATOR Posted - 03 June 2002 15:34
Oh please. Such "books" are no more compelling then the books put out by Reform or Conservative rabbis "countering" the arguments against them. More books mean nothing, they will all be disproved like the first dozen or so were. And you don't have to be much of a Talmid Chacham to do it.
Just like you're "proof" that Hashem doesn't believe in the Oaths because he in His mercy does not wipe out
Of course, the fact that G-d allows evil in the world does not prove that He approves of it. G-d allowed six million Jews to be killed - does that mean He approves?
As far as miracles go, that, too, is a joke. The Gemora is replete with miracles done for idol worshippers and enemies of Hashem.
The Arabs can tell you of equal or better miracles done for them. Arafat's plane crashes in or about 1995 (I forget exactly), all passengers in the plane are killed immediately, but he walks out unscathed. I guess G-d approves of Arafat.
The Dor Haflaga shot arrows into the sky to "kill" Hashem. the arrows, the medrash says, came down dripping with blood. They archers thought they wounded Hashem.
This was a miracle, obviously. Not kishef - for the archers themselves were the ones fooled. But the rule is, "haba l'tameh poschin lo" - Hashem allows miracles to happen for good and for bad.
Rav Yaakov Saaportes, the great fighter against the Shabse Tzvi records miracles that were performed for the Shabse Tzvi and his followers. S"T used this as "proof" that G-d approves of him. The Gedolim of those days told the people that miracles prove nothing and G-d allows miracles for bad people as well as good ones, for numerous reasons, but we have no idea what G-d's cheshbonos are. Miracles are not proof of validity.
And now the Zionists are using the arguments of the Shabse Tzvi.
MODERATOR Posted - 03 June 2002 16:01
"As a drush, this is cute, but l'halacha, it's a joke..." I was going to say the same thing about your arguments.
Of course you would. But you have not provided nay reasoning except wishful thinking. My arguments are not mine, but existed before you - and I - were born. And any high school kid is capable of asking "Hey if the Oaths are merely Agadita and they don't count then why were thousands of Jews killed for violating them??" Or "Hey if the Oaths can be ignored cuz the Goyim were too bad to us, then why does the Rambam warn us not to violate them or else?" Its not rocket science.
The fact that in Zionist enclaves these "proofs" are still being given despite their being compellingly squashed before the Roshei Yeshiva in many of these places were born is a spiritual crime. Go ahead. Ask any "Zionist Posek" for an answer, and see what you get. Copy these pages and give it to your local Zionist for an answer, and then you tell me if they came up with anything different than what was already disproved decades ago.
If you have no answers or support from precedent, you are obligated to change your position. That applies to the "Zionist poskim" themselves.
PS - re your "historical proof". Fifty years is not much of history. In Maaseh Ish it relates that when asked if the Medinah halachicly negates the status of Yerushalayim bchurbanah, the Chazon Ish answered, "The Medinah? And how long do you think the Medinah will last? About 50 years, maybe?"
Do not be quick to demand Hashem's punishment on Klall Yisroel. Be happy, instead, that He has Rachmonus. It is terribly dangerous to say "If I am doing something wrong then why isn't hashem punishing me?" You understand what the Mida k'neged mida can be...r"l.

Two Things Moderator:
1) I don't understand why there is so much talking about whether there should or should not be a state of
2) Just wondering how you could make such claims as Bnai Efraim should not have died - and claims of that sort. In doing so, you arrogantly assume that you know the reasons behind why events of the past have happened. For you to make the claim that the oaths are not interdependent BECAUSE the Bnai Efraim would not have died if the oaths were, in fact, interdependent - and arguments of that nature - is quite presumptuous.
MODERATOR Posted - 02 July 2002 16:30
Its Chazal who say the Bnei Efraim were annihilated only for violating the Oaths. The same way, like, for instance, Chazal say the Bais HaMikdash was destroyed because of Sinas Chinam.
There is no "debate." Its pretty clear. Of course the State of Israel is a reality - but the question is, what can we do about the problems it causes? And what do we do about the conflict of interest between what is good for the State of Israel versus what is good for Klall Yisroel? What do we do about the fact that
What do we do about the fact that the State of Israel tries to falsely convince Jews that its existence saves lives, prevents holocausts, and therefore it is worth great sacrifice to support it? What do we do about the fact that Jews all over the world are in danger because of the State - anti-Semitism is up all over the world because of the middle east conflict, because people mistakenly believe that the actions of
Anti-Semitism is up in
There is enough anti-Semitism in existence already, that we do not need to fan its flames with people who do NOT represent anything Jewish running around telling the world differently.
And never mind the terrible punishment that Hashem said will happen if Jews make a Jewish State in Eretz Yisroel. Hashem Yishmerienu.
Rav Shach writes that the Yom Kippur war came "without a doubt" because of the Jews' belief in the strength of the Israeli armies, so Hashem came and showed them they're not so strong.
"Dealing with the reality of the situation" means to eradicate from our hearts anti-torah beliefs. And not to put trust in those who do not care about the Torah. It means to disabuse ourselves of the idea that Israel makes us more of a nation, normalizes us, puts us on equal footing with the other nations, protects us from holocausts etc etc etc.
When Hashem sees that we support what He supports, and we are against what He is against, we will have accomplished a tremendous zechus.
TheBster Posted - 10 July 2002 21:52
Just a small deviation from the topic of the Oaths. What ever happened to Mitzvas Yishuv Ha'aretz? Even if you say that one must follow the Oaths, what about the mitzva for an individual person to live in Eretz Yisrael?
If one would look at the 'Yeshivish' world today one would think that this mitzva di'oraysa doesn't even exist!
The Yeshivos teach Torah and Mitzvos, yet this one is completely ignored! Just go over to any American chareidi and ask him if he has any hava amina of being oleh permanently.
MODERATOR Posted - 10 July 2002 22:03
The Chofetz Chaim wrote in a letter - and Rav Shlomo Kluger says the same thing in Responsa Ha'elef lecha Shlomo - that the myriad Gedolim who lived in Chutz La'aretz throughout the generations did so because of the shitos (Tosfos, and according to Megilas Esther, the Rambam) who argue on the Ramban and say there is no Mitzvah nowadays to live in Eretz Yisroel.
The Noda Beyehuda writes the same thing regarding why the Baalei Tosfos lived in Chutz Laaretz.
There are others who hold there is a mitzvah fulfilled if you do live in EY but not an obligation to do so (Mitzvah Kiyumis). Other hold that even if there is a Mitzvah, if it is spiritually better for you in Chutz Laaretz, you should stay there.
Every Aveirah that someone does in EY is intensified and judged more severe than had he stayed in Chutz Laaretz and done that aveirah. The ibn Ezra writes that EY is the best place to be if you are a Tzadik, and the worse place to be if you are a Rasha. Those in-between have to decide for themselves what is best for them.
HZ Posted - 29 October 2003 14:53
I'd like to add to this discussion that other matters may be applicable. It's harder to make a Parnasa there. And if one makes the extreme sacrifice of moving there and then doesn't have a good Parnasa, it may affect him spiritually detrimentally. This is in at least one of the commentaries printed in the shulchan aruch.
Also R' Avigdor Miller advises against it (at least in some situations) because your parents won't be able to visit their grandkids.

London: crack (2006)
Su-Tang passed the gauze, but it was too early – his short face was eager and I was unprepared. Lumps in my throat arose and griped on to the central nervous system beneath the core, everything fermented and my stomach grew troubled. He wavered the pipe in my face, ordering me to be served. I threw up my hand, 'give me a moment…'
'Do it,' he said, 'or I'll do it.'
The options were clear. I stuffed the pipe in between my limp lips as he mechanically lit the white crystals that sat on the blackened wire. Sucking in the white poison and I knew I had made a mistake. The metallic smoke hit the back of my mouth and crawled its way down. I reached for the plastic bag and filled it with my brown puke. All the time I vomited I could read ASDA on the skin of the bag and for some strange reason that made me vomit some more. After I had finished I studied my sick, brown from the heroin. Fumes danced off it and there seemed to be a slight vapour on the surface, which stank of that God-awful fetor. I was pissed off that I'd just wasted an entire rock.
I puked a couple times more, just by remembering the smells combined, and Su-Tang sat glue-eyed and twitchy. He wasn't satisfied either. We needed a brief pause…and then the inevitable would arrive. We had enough brown to get us through the night and into sleep quietly. But neither of us had reached our peaks, neither of us had returned to where we had been before. We needed some more white.
'Let's get some more crack.' I said, feeling like a total fiend.
You bastard, I thought. Don't play innocent with me. You want some crack just as much as I. You need that rush. You didn't achieve your limit!
'I'll pay. I don't care. I'll pay. I need to get just a couple of rocks. Did you get a worthy hit? Was it all you wanted?'
He just sat there thinking about it. He knew the answer, he knew that I knew he knew, but he was summing up possibilities in his head. He was contemplating the walk back down the black hill, past the black station, and under the dark, dark bridge.
'Do not think about the walk. We can smoke some B and then float down there.' Hell, we can even wear overcoats if you fancy it.
And then slowly, very slowly…as his small, thin Chinese fingers gripped the sides of the armchair with his dirty nails that remained uncut and the arms of the chair worn in, as his legs seemed dead and forgotten and his throat torn out, as his lonely face stared into the bowls of the nearest wall, reflecting his dried up lips and drugged eyes; he appeared as if brain-dead, a total mental shutdown, a physical collapse, at some point I thought that he had finally died, that this was it…I didn't think about consequences, my thoughts at that moment were that I had lost a portion of myself…and as I watched him, and kept watching him – hours it felt, years – I looked on and saw the death in his grim face, saw how like a carcass he had become, an old tortoise whose skin drooped over the sides of his cracked shell like condoms of meat; and I stared a cold hole into his head that bled down his tracksuit and fed onto the floor beside me, I saw his head softly drop down towards his lap and then I watched as slowly…very slowly, it rose back up and I realised he had merely nodded.
'Yes,' he said. 'Let us go.'
