A recent FinancialTimes.com article: Business starts to take Web 2.0 tools seriously, details how small companies and big corporations alike are turning to Web 2.0 (and social media and networking in particular) to modernize their marketing efforts; more fully leveraging the power of the internet in brand development and consumer recognition and relations.
'Mash-ups and widgets may sound like the Wild West to more conservative companies but, to a large extent, it's a question of extracting more value from the services they already provide, by mixing them with external services and presentation methods to create new markets, new revenues and new products," says Andy Mullholland, chief technology officer at IT consultant CapGemini.'

No. 5: 'Modern Family'/'Cougar Town'
OK, we're cheating a little here. But we really couldn't decide between these two ABC comedies, which will air back-to-back on Wednesday nights, is more worthy of your viewing time -- because they both are. "Modern Family," about three very different branches of the same family, has one of the funniest pilots we've seen in a while, and it boasts a strong cast that includes Ed O'Neill, Julie Bowen, Ty Burrell, Sofia Vergara and Jesse Tyler Ferguson. And despite its lame title, "Cougar Town" may have the most potential of any new comedy, thanks in large part to Courteney Cox's fearless performance. We're just going to go ahead and block out that whole hour on Wednesdays. -- Rick Porter, Zap2it

Garnet – Layout 4
Happy 2012 and new year of guest sketchers! Today I'm so pleased to be bringing to you one of our amazing friends and fans who nails vintage-shabby like no other, Charity Becker! Today Charity does an amazing job with today's steal, Restoration by Crate Paper.
• • • • •
Ever get the feeling things just can't get any better and than they do? Yep, me too! That's how I felt back in November when I got that coveted e-mail from Kristy Lee. After squealing (quite loudly) I quickly replied that I would be honored to be a guest sketcher. Then Lisa suggested I create the first Mid Week Mojo of 2012 with Crate Paper, Restoration. My shabby chic diva self went into spasms of excitement. Sit down, strap in, and prepare for a fussy cutting fest, 'cause Crate Paper and I―we had us a good time!
The first thing I did was fussy cut an entire sheet of doilies. There was just no question that these delicious shapes were going to figure largely in my projects. Then I got down to business and came up with this sketch.
I needed to fit four photos on the same page so I arranged a 7x7 block of photo sizes to accommodate my ideal. Of course, I scattered fussy cut and finger crimped doilies around the page.
My daughter's third grade class has pen pal partners at a local assisted living facility. They write them letters regularly and once a month they load up the bus and take the kids to Tufte Manor for a party. They take pictures at each event and both the children and the pen pals get copies. I threw together an envelope album for Lori's pen-pal to keep her letters in and display their pictures.
After trimming and tea staining four Open End Catalog Envelopes (instructions found here) I punched holes and used prong fasteners from Office Max to hold the envelopes together. Then I used this sketch to create the album pages.
Here is the front cover:
And here is the back:
To view the rest of the pages please visit my blog:
To finish up I created some sweet little ATCs. Here are three of them.
This paper pack was fabulous to work with. The designs are so much fun and the paper has a wonderful textured finish on one side. What's more, after all that creating I still have five full sheets left! Thanks Scrapbook Steals for this thoroughly enjoyable opportunity. Now get yourself over to the steals page and buy yourself some Crate Paper, Restoration. I can't wait to see what you create with it.

Thank you so much Charity for being such an amazing guest sketcher. You are always so inspiring with your "fussy cutting," and truly take the art of scrapbooking to a further level.

At the Feb. 25 Jasper County Legislative Delegation meeting, the Jasper County School District presented a list of 10 requests for information under the S.C. Freedom of Information Act. One member of the delegation asked if all the requests had been addressed according to the FOIA requirements. The school district spokesperson answered that all the requests had been addressed accordingly.
One member of the audience immediately reacted to that statement by telling the Delegation that she knew of specific requests under FOIA that had not been addressed. Another audience member testified, later, that he had not received the information he had requested from JCSD more than a year earlier. Both audience members were apparently talking about the same FOIA requests.
The information presented by school district to the delegation was correct.
The misunderstanding by the audience members appears to be related to what it means to "address an FOIA request according to the FOIA requirements." In the specific case described by the second audience member, letters were sent to him asking for clarification of what was requested and explaining what the costs would be. That letter was sufficient to meet the requirements of FOIA in this specific situation.
FOIA requires the following:
1. All requests must be made in writing (which may be in letter form or in email). Verbal requests are not covered by FOIA and no acknowledgement or response is necessary for verbal requests. The agency is not required to act on verbal requests.
2.FOIA requires an acknowledgement of the request. That acknowledgement can request clarification and additional information that may be needed in order to provide the requested information. The agency is not required to provide the requested information until the clarifications are made.
3. FOIA permits the agency from which the information is requested to require and receive a fee equal to the costs of collecting and providing the requested information. A deposit can be required by the agency from which the information is requested. The agency is not required to provide the requested information if the deposit is not paid.
4. FOIA currently requires that requested information, presented in writing and with sufficient clarity and with the required fees paid, within fifteen work days of receipt of the request.
5. Just because a person does not get the information they have requested does not mean that the requirements of FOIA have not been met. If the agency from which the information has been requested has asked for clarification or a fee deposit, the next step must be taken by the person making the request. That step must also be in writing - providing the clarifying information and a certified check or money order for the deposit as prescribed in the agency's communication with that person.
With regard to the ten FOIA requests that JCSD presented to the Jasper County Legislative Delegation, all FOIA requirements had been met. Acknowledgements had been made, clarification had been requested, fees had been itemized, and the appropriate communications were sent. By all accounts, the school district has met the requirement for the 10 FOIA requests for which the Jasper County Legislative Delegation had asked for additional information.
The school district spokesperson chose not to get involved in the discussion of the issues raised by the two audience members because JCSD had provided accurate and complete information, based on the request of the Delegation. The issues were not with the school district information.
When asked by local media representatives, the school district provided the following statement:
"The district does respond to every Freedom of Information Act request within the timelines of the law. The response may not include the information requested if the information requested is protected by law. Some responses will seek clarification when the request may be ambiguous or not well-defined. In those cases, the district will wait for clarification before going forward. For requests that have costs associated with them, the district will wait for confirmation the requestor will pay these costs. The district will review requests submitted prior to July 1, 2012, and will determine appropriate courses of action, if appropriate."
Citizens who are seeking information from the Jasper County School District must put their requests in writing and send those to Shellie Murdaugh, Public Information Officer, P.O. Box 848, Ridgeland, S.C. 29936. All requests received will be acknowledged and addressed under the guidelines of the South Carolina Freedom of Information Act.

3 packets (±15g) of Cotes des Blanc ... Supplement schedule was 1 tsp nutrient and 0.5 tsp enegizer every 24 hrs for 3 days (total of 4 sets of additions).
Next question: A couple of the remaining apple cider jugs have started to pressurize (ferment). The cider still tastes good, IMO. Would this cider still be okay to use and make a New England Cider? I was planning to mix with some local maple syrup and molasses to get the OG up to 1.090-1.100.
40 cents a pack?! Where do you get that?3 packs isn't out of control if they are the 5 gram packets, especially for a low temp fermentation. Let us know how it turns out.
what is a flash pasteurization?
when cider is heat pasteurized the sugars (and most of the flavor) is boiled off, and then sugar is added

Gordon Ramsay, the temperamental British chef, has been a fixture on Fox since the 2005 debut of "Hell's Kitchen." Now the network is extending the relationship with Ramsay even further with a multiyear deal that includes a new fifth show to star him, this time with a group of budding child chefs. Will kids be enough to break the gruff Ramsay?
As with "Hell's Kitchen" and "Kitchen Nightmares," the premise of "Junior MasterChef" has been road-tested already in the U.K. and deemed a hit, so it's coming to our shores. On the program, a group of preteen budding chefs will compete to win the favor of Ramsay and his fellow judges. Does this mean Ramsay will make a kid cry, or will the youngsters bring Ramsay to the breaking point? Only time will tell.
PHOTOS: Cable vs. broadcast ratings
The new series, which is expected on Fox sometimes in the 2013-14 season, will join the already-on-the-air Ramsay shows "Hell's Kitchen," "Hotel Hell," "Kitchen Nightmares" and "MasterChef."
In addition, the network picked up a 13th season of "Hell's Kitchen" and a fifth and sixth season of "MasterChef."
Although the most recent season premiere of "Hell's Kitchen" in March was down from the previous year, the aging reality competition program has remained steady in the ratings over time.
The ever-busy Ramsay also appears on "Gordon Ramsay's Ultimate Cookery Course," which airs in the U.K. on Channel 4.

Ridgefield advances in Class L behind stingy defense
RIDGEFIELD -- If the Ridgefield boys basketball team wants to make a deep run in the Class LL tournament, head coach Andrew McClellan expressed that his teams' margin of error is virtually non-existent without leading scorer Matt Brennan in the lineup.
Despite losing the senior to a season-ending injury last month, the Tigers have forged on behind a defensive philosophy that aims to drag the team through any offensive slumps.
Will Brady, Patrick Racy and Charlie Irwin all scored 13 points as Ridgefield advanced to the second round of the Class LL tournament with a 53-39 win over West Haven on Tuesday night. The Tigers will travel to New London Thursday for a spot in the final eight.
"We are a team of stops on defense," McClellan said. "When you give up 39 points to a team that averages in the high 60s or low 70s, we can hang our hat on that."
Ridgefield led 17-13 after a first half that included little in terms of offensive rhythm. The Tigers led by as many as seven, but a strong defensive second quarter by the visitors -- Ridgefield scored just five in the period -- kept things close.
"We got out to a good start, and we kind of took a deep breath," McClellan said. "We didn't play the same way, and we let people back. We don't score as easily because we're not as sound offensively."
Racy ignited the offense in the third quarter, scoring seven points during an 11-3 run to open the second half. Ridgefield held a double-digit advantage through the third quarter and the early stages of the fourth.
"We didn't really make any adjustments," McClellan said. "We talked about our plan against their zone, and the kids went out and executed it better in the second half than the first half."
West Haven switched to a half-court press early in the fourth quarter, which opened the game up on both ends of the floor. The extra room got Brady, a sophomore who scored 10 points in the final period, open for quality looks.
"(Brady) is a kid with a lot of confidence, and he's made shots for us all year long," McClellan said.
Aaron Spann (13 points) scored five quick points to pull the Blue Devils to within 41-34 with 4:20 left, only for Brady's last of four 3-pointers immediately gave the Tigers a 10-point lead. West Haven again closed the gap to seven on a triple of its own, but the Tigers went 5-from-8 from the foul line in the final two minutes to close the game out.
After missing a dunk in the third quarter, Racy converted an alley-oop pass from Irwin late on to put an exclamation point on the win.
"I was glad he threw it in the first place; sometimes (Irwin) throws a bounce pass instead," Racy joked. "It was fun."
The win was likely the last at home for the Tigers seniors.
"We didn't want to go out in the first round," Racy said. "We wanted to get the `W'. It was the last home game of the season and the last home game ever for the seniors. We came out with energy and focus."

An African American North Carolina pastor is facing backlash after she requested "only white people" work as greeters at the church she leads.
In an email, Pastor Makeda Pennycooke of Freedom House in Charlotte said "first impressions matter," and the church wants "the best of the best on the front doors."
"We anticipate having an increase in the number of people visiting and attending Freedom House over the next few weeks," she wrote. "We are continuing to work to bring our racial demographic pendulum back to mid-line, so we would like to ask that only white people be on the front doors."
Carmen Thomas, a member at Freedom House for two years, was appalled.
"I was floored," she recalled. "Like it was a jaw dropper. You can put a white face all over the front door. But when you come through those doors, you're going to see African Americans, you're gonna see Asians. You're going to see people of color."
The church said the pastor apologized, and released a full statement that said Pennycooke was writing because "the greeting team was no longer reflecting the racial diversity of our entire congregation."
"She made an error in judgment in requesting all white greeters at the front door, going overboard in placing emphasis on any one race over another in trying to highlight diversity within the greeting team," the statement continued. "She admits this was a grave lapse in judgment and is sincerely sorry for her actions."

NASPA is committed to providing high-quality, executive-level professional development opportunities for Vice President of Student Affairs who lead their divisions and their institutions during this period of transformational change in higher education. Largely through the programs offered by the James E. Scott Academy, NASPA provides networking, resources, and professional development programs for VPSAs at all stages of their careers.
The Vice President of Student Affairs is the individual responsible for leading all student affairs efforts at an institution. In the majority of cases, this is a position that reports to the President and is at the peer-level of other institutional division leaders such as the Chief Academic Officer and Chief Business Officer. At a time where the role of student affairs within the larger collegiate experience is evolving, it is important for our profession that our highest-ranking leaders are identified with the same title as their peers, ensuring equity across the presidential cabinets on which they all serve.
NASPA publications help to keep VPSAs current in the rapidly changing fields of student affairs and higher education.

Just before the Thanksgiving holiday, the Department of Education released the text of their Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) on Title IX. This ended an over-year-long wait that started in September 2017 when Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos rescinded guidance set by the Obama administration in 2011 and 2014 and released interim guidance.This is the first in a series of posts by NASPA staff from the Research and Policy Institute (RPI) and Culture of Respect to be released over the first half of December with our initial analysis of the proposed rule. Our hope is to provide information in an easily consumable format and length as soon as possible. Additional analysis on many of these topics is already available from a wide range of associations and organizations and NASPA's RPI will be making more in-depth analysis on several of the issues below available in early January to assist student affairs professionals in responding to the call for comment with appropriate research and data.

Who owns the land? Only the land knows. We mortals are passersby, and our lives are but a brief moment in the great span of time and space. We are born, we live out our lives, and most of us do the best we can with it, but the wind is forever, and the rivers flow forever to the sea, and all the seasons of the weathers will come and go after we are gone. But the Earth endures, the Earth is eternal" - Earl Hamner

VERGENNES — Vergennes police dealt with a variety of mostly routine incidents between Aug. 12 and 18, including responding to complaints about problematic tenants, calming family conflicts, and dispatching one rabid animal.
In that time frame, city police:
• On Aug. 12 shot a rabid raccoon near the public works department on Mechanic Street after being alerted by city workers.
• On Aug. 12 went to a Main Street apartment building when a tenant complained that painters had blocked the entrance with a tarp; police determined that was not the case and that the tenant had been legally notified the work had been scheduled. Later in the week, on Aug. 16, the landlord complained that the tenant was harassing the workers, and police told her to stop all contact with them.
• On Aug. 12 calmed a verbal family fight among three people at a First Street residence.
• On Aug. 12 calmed a verbal dispute between a husband and wife at a Sunset Drive home.
• On Aug. 13 at about midnight checked a report of a suspicious person walking on South Maple Street and determined it was a resident walking home.
• On Aug. 14 helped a motorist get into a locked car in the North Main Street area.
• On Aug. 15 twice dealt with complaints about a female resident of a Main Street apartment building. First, police were told she was banging on other residents' doors; police could not find her when they arrived. Later, they were told she was chanting, singing and banging on the floor, but police said it was quiet when they showed up.
• On Aug. 15 helped Vermont State Police at an accident with injuries on Route 7 in Waltham.
• On Aug. 15 responded to a complaint about a suspicious car at the intersection of High Street and Comfort Hill, and asked the driver to move along.
• On Aug. 16 backed up VSP while they did a canine search of a Second Street home.
• On Aug. 16 were called to Northlands Job Corps to deal with an injured woodchuck, but learned security personnel had dealt with the animal before they arrived.
• On Aug. 18 found a drunken woman at about 2:30 a.m. sitting at the corner of School and Green streets and drove her safely home.

Back to the Frier: Fear and Loathing at the LA County Fair
I love the LA County Fair and head out to Pomona every year for the festivities, but this year, I am worried that the fair food at has officially gone overboard. It all dates back six or seven years ago when the first fried Snickers bar appeared at the fair. The fried Snickers bar created food-oriented media coverage that went beyond the typical corn dog and barbecue fair food staples and people flocked to the fair to check it out. That is the earliest I remember the fair being a real food destination.
The thing about the battered, deep fried Snickers bar is that it is terrific. When done well (which is not always the case), the innards melt into a mash of chocolate, caramel and nuts which soaks into the fried batter in a most pleasing way. There are several fried Snickers purveyors at the fair, but the best is the Texas Donuts stand, near the Blue Gate parking entrance. This year, the stand added a new candy bar, identified only as a Fried Reese's. Now, this was not a peanut butter cup, so it must have been one of the Reese's bars. Since I don't really eat Reese's candy bars, I couldn't really tell which one it was, but based on an internet search, I'd guess a Fast Break. In any case, it was delicious; peanut butter cream and melted chocolate oozed out into the battered covering and made for a gooey, peanut butter treat. I've always wondered why they fry all manner of inappropriate things at the fair but don't fry more candy bars. Clearly they should.
But I digress, the fried candy bar is a good product, but it started a trend of frying more and more absurd things simply to get attention. Then, they started covering equally absurd items with chocolate. Now, the fair food pavilions look more like something from This Is Why You're Fat than anything you would want to eat. It is a victory of shock value over taste.
This year, selections included chocolate covered bacon, cotton candy, pickles and Cheetos. The new fried item of note was the Zucchini Weeni [sic], a battered, deep fried hot dog stuffed zucchini. I couldn't bear to try one.
The battered, deep fried zucchini was courtesy of Chicken Charlie, the fair's most prominent fried food vendor. Charlie is the one who first brought deep fried Twinkies, Oreos, frog's legs, Coke, s'mores and White Castle burgers to the fair, as well as the monstrosity that is the Krisy Kreme fried chicken sandwich. Charlie gets a lot of publicity for his efforts, but the truth is, I've never really enjoyed anything that I've purchased from his stand. The Oreos are not bad, but most of the food is lackluster. It's high concept, low quality, and a symbol of what has gone awry in Pomona.
So what was good at the fair this year aside from the deep fried candy bars? Well, I finally stopped at the cute little gingerbread house near the farml. The warm gingerbread cake was moist and nicely spiced, but it was topped with an ultra-light tasting whipped cream. Had it been topped with a heavier whipped cream, or even better, a homemade one, it would have been great.
And Dr. Bob's ice cream is always a fair treat. I was looking forward to the soy sauce ice cream I had heard reports about, but they weren't serving it the day I went. Instead, I had some wonderful blueberry ice cream, with strong blueberry flavor and lots of mashed blueberries throughout.
Even though I've grown a bit cynical about fair food, I look forward to the experience every year, and I will undoubtedly be back in 2010 to try the chocolate covered, deep fried ostrich fillets or whatever next year's specialty happens to be.

Brian Azzarello, a comics author who is writing the mini-series for the Watchmen characters Rorschach and the Comedian, said he expected an initial wave of resistance because "a lot of comic readers don't like new things."

I'll just stick w/Morning Glories and Locke & Key. They're the only things I've read in the last year that have really been any good.

Not that I'm interested in these anyway, but Len fuckin' Wein?! He's terrible!

If you want a comic that reads like it could have come out in the 60s he'll be fine.

Parker is not Cooke's character fyi

Len Wein + John Higgins = look folks, we have half the original creative team from Watchmen in EVERY ISSUE!
I think both Darwyn Cooke and Len Wein have done some great comics, but I can't see how anyone thought either of them would be a good choice for a Watchmen comic, since they both predate the deconstruction era (Cooke in spirit, Wein in his actual career) that Watchmen kicked in.
Azzarello probably can do the grim & gritty deconstruction thing, but if his Joker mini (which was an awful attempt to take the Heath Ledger "edgy emo Joker" TO THE EXTREME) is anything to judge by, his Watchmen will have all of the grittiness and none of the humanism of Moore's original.

Just watched the Ultimate cut of Watchmen out of curiosity. The Black Frieghter stuff is jarring and not-that-well integrated, but the added other (live-action) material def helps flesh out the universe a bit, makes the whole thing into a more agreeable shape. Also, I'd forgotten just how perfect Patrick Wilson and especially Billy Crudup are in it.

The violence, unfortunate old-age discrepancies (JDM's supposed to be pushing 70?) and awkward dialogue lifting still the principal issues for me. Still a fair sight better (not to mention more fun) than, say, TDKR.

did these ever come out then? i was almost going to drag myself to the comics shop for a guilty flip-through but i was afraid my rubbernecking might be mistaken for actual interest.

Mr. Moore, who has disassociated himself from DC Comics and the industry at large, called the new venture "completely shameless."
Speaking by telephone from his home in Northampton, England, Mr. Moore said, "I tend to take this latest development as a kind of eager confirmation that they are still apparently dependent on ideas that I had 25 years ago."
Love you, Alan.

To anyone who has been reading anything on the web over the past few months, this shouldn't come as a surprise. Barnes & Noble is currently embroiled in a patent lawsuit started by Microsoft, after the bookseller/tablet maker refused to pay protection money to Redmond. Barnes & Noble has now openly said what we already knew, and has filed an official complaint at the US Department of Justice: Microsoft is engaging in anticompetitive practices. Update: Here's the slide deck B&N presented to the DoJ.

It is possible that the main title of the report Severe Combined Immunodeficiency is not the name you expected. Please check the synonyms listing to find the alternate name(s) and disorder subdivision(s) covered by this report.
Severe Combined Immunodeficiency (SCID) is a group of rare congenital syndromes characterized by little if any immune responses. This results in frequent recurring infections. Cellular immune responses involve specialized white blood cells known as T lymphocytes or "killer cells". These cells assist other white blood cells (B lymphocytes) to respond to infectious, foreign agents that invade the body (i.e., bacteria or viruses). The B lymphocytes maintain immunity by enabling the body to produce and preserve circulating antibodies.
People with Severe Combined Immunodeficiency are unusually susceptible to recurrent infections with bacteria, viruses, fungi, and other infectious agents that can be life-threatening.
There are several types of Severe Combined Immunodeficiencies. These include: Autosomal Recessive Severe Combined Immunodeficiency, X-Linked Recessive Severe Combined Immunodeficiency, Adenosine Deaminase Deficiency (ADA), Bare Lymphocyte Syndrome, Severe Combined Immunodeficiency with Leukopenia (Reticular Dysgenesis), and Swiss-type Agammaglobulinemia. Each type of Severe Combined Immune Deficiency is caused by a different genetic defect, but the primary symptom is reduced or absent immune functions, and all types are hereditary.

AUGUSTA, GA - Georgia Southwestern freshman Michael Morgan has been selected to the 2008 men's soccer All-Peach Belt Conference second team. The announcement was made this afternoon at a luncheon in Evans, Ga., site of the PBC Championship Tournament.
Morgan anchored the most successful defensive line in GSW history. Starting all 18 games, the former Rockdale County (Conyers, Ga.) standout made an immediate impact as the only addition to the backline this season. The Hurricanes forced a 64% drop in PBC goals allowed from 25 to nine which took the team from seventh in the conference in goals allowed to a tie for fourth. In addition, the 'Canes forced a 21% decrease in shots allowed in conference play from 2007.
As the gem of his first recruiting class, head coach Warren Russ had this to say about Morgan, "Michael has given everything I expected of him and more. He provided us with skill, leadership and determination whenever we needed it. He led by example from the front and was never afraid to carry responsibility on his own shoulders. It was my pleasure to coach him and I believe this is just the beginning for Michael Morgan and GSW soccer."
Lander's Aaron Brittain was named the PBC Player of the Year while Clayton State's Leighton Fredericks was honored as the Freshman of the Year. Francis Marion's Kevin Varnado was named the Coach of the Year. The PBC named 23 student-athletes to the all-conference team with 11 receiving first-team honors. A tie for the final at-large spot boosted the second-team number to 12.
Brittain led the Peach Belt Conference in total points in 2008 with 29 and was second in the PBC with 12 goals. The sophomore from Cleveland, England, had three game-winning goals during the course of the regular season an had two multi-goal games. Brittain continues a rich history of men's soccer at Lander, becoming the seventh Bearcat to earn PBC Player of the Year honors and the third in the last four years. Nick Cooke last won the award for Lander in 2006.

With the onset of Yom Kippur this evening, Jews will begin a day of fasting, prayer and reflection — all key parts of this holiest of holy days on the religion's calendar. But this Day of Atonement often comes with another ritual of sorts — namely, a pitch from synagogue leaders for contributions.
The High Holy Days appeal, as it's often called, may strike some as distasteful, but it underscores the reality that faith of any kind — Judaism, Christianity, Islam — often has a literal price. Houses of worship solicit donations in order to pay the bills. Parochial schools charge tuition. Beyond such fees, various religious practices, from adhering to certain dietary laws to avoiding certain types of investments, also have costs associated with them. But while this has always been the case to a point, some of the faithful say the financial burden has become harder to bear, especially in light of the slumping economy of late.
"I wish it wasn't so expensive," says Judy Safern, a Jewish resident of Dallas who runs a strategic consulting firm. In the past couple of years, Safern has cut back on what might be dubbed her "religion budget," pulling her two children out of a Jewish day school in favor of a public one (a savings of $16,000) and foregoing membership to her local synagogue (a savings of $1,800). Safern's hope is that she can maintain her faith without emptying her pocketbook. "I refuse to continue to be squeezed," she adds.
Regardless of the religion, Safern is far from alone in expressing such sentiments. For example, since the onset of the financial crisis, Christians of various denominations have been cutting back on giving to churches or religious organizations (the Christian tradition is to tithe, meaning to set aside 10% of one's income): A 2012 study by the Barna Group, a market research firm, found that 33% of Protestants and 41% of Catholics had reduced their contributions to churches or religious centers because of the economy. (By contrast, in 2008, a Barna Group survey found that only 19% of Protestants and 13% of Catholics were reducing such contributions.)
Actually, Barna Group Vice President Clint Jenkin says it may be more than just the economy at play. He argues that a new generation of the faithful sees religion in an entirely different — and decidedly isolationist — way. "Faith is becoming much more something you do privately rather than something at an institution," he says.
Still, there are facets of faith beyond the house of worship that have an expense. The Jewish practice of keeping kosher — that is, adhering to a way of eating in which meats have been butchered and prepared a certain way, among other dietary matters — can translate into a 20% increase in a family's food costs, according to one study. And with Islam, a prohibition against financial products that pay or charge interest — part of the religious law known as Shariah — can have huge implications for everything from retirement and college planning to the ability to purchase a home.
Which is not to say that religious leaders and others connected with various religions aren't taking steps to make things financially easier for the faithful. Christian parochial schools typically offer tuition assistance for families in need. Islamic financial specialists offer investment and planning alternatives, including special homeownership programs, that stay within the faith.
And a Jewish movement known as Chabad-Lubavitch has aimed to expand the faithful's ranks by offering religious services with no membership fees or upfront expenses, among other forms of financial aid.
"The onus is really on the community to see to it that every last Jew has the religious resources he or she needs," says Chabad-Lubavitch spokesman Rabbi Zalman Shmotkin.

The seeds of Taarka were planted as early as fall of 2001. However, David Tiller and Enion Pelta were both playing in a bluegrass group in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, N.Y.
The group, Brooklyn Browngrass, was doing well, but not satisfying either of their creative desires to the fullest.
In late 2001, David called up his old friend Jarrod Kaplan (known locally with his percussion in Hanuman). They spoke of many worldly things before coming to the crux of the matter -
Dave and his fiddlin' friend Enion were planning to move to the Northwest, had some material together, and wanted to play when they arrived.
Jarrod, being his adventurous self, asked the two to send him a recording of their music. He did not receive anything until they had arrived in Portland and gone up to visit him in Seattle, where they burned him a disc of their latest creations while sitting on his living room floor.
From the first, the three loved playing together. They continue to do so, and since the addition of a new bass player Jason Flores, a great player well-educated in jazz and middle eastern music, Taarka's changing and growing in some new directions.
This Saturday, Taarka and the amazing percussion of Kaplan returns to the River City Saloon for a 10 p.m. show. There will be a cover charge.
Up to this point, Taarka's creative venture has taken them to numerous festivals on the West Coast, where they've shared stages (sometimes at the same time) with David Grisman, Darol Anger, Mike Marshall, Leftover Salmon, Yonder Mountain String Band and Garaj Mahal, among others.
At this year's High Sierra Music Festival, no less than Col. Bruce Hampton of the Code Talkers and Aquarium Rescue Unit called Taarka his "favorite band of the festival." They've toured up and down the West Coast as well, and were met in New Mexico, Arizona and Colorado with glowing response.
On Friday, the mostly rock inspired, Groundscore incorporates the distilled grooves of reggae and funk with the subtle flares of jazz and latin styles at the Saloon.
The extensive original song base offers a diverse and dynamic experience that has been shared and enjoyed by an equally broad base of people.
In winter 2002 most of the original band relocated to Portland, where they are now based.
