Torrential rains on the AirVenture airshow in Oshkosh, Wisc., are making the Innovation Hangar at the show a very popular spot. The hangar is filled with spectators all clad in plastic rain slickers of every hue, trying to stay out of the pounding downpour.
Elektra One, the solar electric-powered airplane that SolarWorld is supporting here at the show, is attracting lots of interest and inquiries from Hawaii, New Mexico, and California already this morning.
A retired dairy farmer named Ron Mueller (pictured on right), 69, of Mishicot, Wisc., about an hour east of Oshkosh, came to our booth this morning and proudly announced that he's a very satisfied SolarWorld customer. He has 9.2 kW of ground mounted solar panels along his grass airstrip, where he flies his home-built Zenith 701. He started his experience with solar in 2009 using – let's call them "brand x" -- panels, and then he installed 20 SolarWorld Sunmodule 245 watt solar panels in 2010 and added another 20 earlier this month.
"The panels put money in my pocket," Mueller declared. Mueller is delighted with his calculations that show the panels will pay off in about eight years. "My son is in the financial business and he tells me I'd have to find an investment paying 12 to 14% to make the same gain."
Mueller expects to end up with a net-zero energy bill this month for the first time, now that he has the last 20 solar panels installed. The array powers his geothermal heat system for the house. Does he have plans for adding any more panels? "No. I'm sick of projects," he told me.
As for Elektra One, late yesterday afternoon the FAA guys gave her (and her German test pilot) a thorough inspection and pronounced them both fit for flight. But we've just learned that the weather has definitely cancelled the planned flight of Elektra One for today. Everyone here in the Innovation Hangar is hopeful that the forecast for tomorrow improves so that she can stretch her wings.

Kerry King Offers Latest on New Slayer Album
Slayer axe-man Kerry King gives the lowdown on co-guitarist Jeff Hanneman's rehabilitation progress, the rumored two-song EP and their in-the-works new album in a new interview.
Slayer are currently overseas doing some dates in advance of their stint on this year's Rockstar Mayhem Festival. Unfortunately, all of those dates are being performed without Hanneman, who is currently on the mend from a bout with necrosis that threatened the guitarist's life as well as his arm. While the unfortunate incident caused by a spider bite happened in early 2011, he has yet to return to active duty with the band.
"If you look at him, he looks fine. But playing the intricate things that we do, he's not ready to do that," King tells MTV of Slayer's decision to tour with Exodus guitarist Gary Holt in Hanneman's place. "He doesn't know if he has the stamina for an hour-and-fifteen-minute set. He can play any of the slower stuff and do it just like the record. But we made a name for ourselves, historically, for being good live, so we had to make the decision and say, 'You've gotta get better before you try to come back. If you come back, make it a special thing, not just an adequate thing.'"
Jeff's absence hasn't slowed the band from moving forward in the studio either, as they have been working on material for a new album and just finished two songs that they're unsure of what to do with. "It's [like], do you put them out now or do you just wait for the [full-length] record to be done?" says King. "We're gonna finish the record September-October. So I, myself, would rather wait, because I don't like to put those two songs out and then include them on the record ... We'll see what the record company proposes. I think they've been talking about an EP, which is kind of a throwback to the '80s, which is really cool, I think. But we'll just have to see."
Slayer will soon return to the U.S. to make the rounds with Slipknot, Anthrax, Motorhead and others for Mayhem Fest, which kicks off June 30 in San Bernardino, Calif.

Legion: Give student veterans in-state tuition rates
Testifying before Congress on April 10, The American Legion stressed its support of pending House legislation that would make student veterans eligible for in-state tuition at public colleges and universities, regardless of their residency status.
The American Legion's testimony before the House Veterans' Affairs Subcommittee on Economic Opportunity was presented by Steve Gonzalez, assistant director of the Legion's Economic Division in Washington.
The Legion supports passage of the GI Bill Tuition Fairness Act of 2013 (H.R. 357), which would eliminate financial burdens that are now endured by about 40,000 nonresident student veterans. Since the Post-9/11 GI Bill only covers in-state tuition rates, veterans being charged out-of-state rates must make up the difference themselves.
That difference can be quite substantial. At Virginia Tech in Blacksburg, in-state tuition for the 2012-2013 academic year is $10,923; out-of-state students pay $25,915 – about two and a half times as much. If enacted, H.R. 357 would reduce tuition costs for student veterans at Virginia Tech by about $15,000 per academic year.
Gonzalez told the subcommittee that The American Legion has heard from many veterans who have had difficulties establishing state residency because of overseas deployments, permanent changes in duty stations, and other requirements of military service.
The Legion has been leading a state-by-state initiative to introduce and advocate for legislation that would make student veterans eligible for in-state tuition rates. Recent victories have been scored with legislatures in Maryland, Missouri, Indiana and North Dakota.
"As a result, 10 states have passed laws to waive the residency requirement," Gonzalez testified. "Another nine states have waived these for some veterans and military family members through university-specific policy changes…. Unfortunately, not all states or schools seem to recognize by their actions the necessity of fixing this problem."
H.R. 357's provisions, if enacted, would apply to all public U.S. colleges and universities that qualify for GI Bill funding. Student veterans would automatically qualify for in-state tuition rates in all 50 states.
"Veterans shouldn't have to assume tremendous financial burdens, or go into deep debt for their education, just because the military has taken them away from their home state," Gonzalez said. "The American Legion pledges to put our full weight behind this important legislation, and encourages this committee to aggressively pursue timely enactment."
The American Legion also supports several other pending House bills that address economic issues for veterans:
• VRAP Extension Act of 2013 (H.R. 562): Extends funding for the Veterans Retraining Assistance Program (VRAP) so that veterans using the program are covered until the end of the 2014 spring semester.
• Servicemembers' Choice in Transition Act of 2013: Replaces the military's Transition Assistance Program with the Transition Goals Plans Success program. Servicemembers would attend week-long classes that would emphasize financial planning, job-hunting skills, and how military work skills can apply to the private sector.
• Improving Job Opportunities for Veterans Act of 2013 (draft bill): Improves and increases on-the-job training and apprenticeship programs administered by the Department of Veterans Affairs or veterans, especially for non-managerial employees.
• VetSuccess Enhancement Act (H.R. 844): Extends the eligibility period for veterans with service-connected disabilities to enroll in certain Vocational Rehabilitation and Employment programs. The current 12-year eligibility period would be increased by five years, but The American Legion would prefer to see the time restriction eliminated altogether.
• H.R. 1305: Provides clarification regarding eligibility for services under the Homeless Veterans Reintegration Program (HVRP). This is the only nationwide program that helps homeless veterans get back into the work force. Currently, the Department of Labor will not allow homeless veterans to participate in HVRP if they are living in a residence provided through the HUD-VASH voucher program. This bill would remove such a restriction.
Last year, The American Legion supported several bills to help veterans on the economic front that became law, including the VOW to Hire Heroes Act, the Veteran Skills to Jobs Act, and the Improving Transparency of Education Opportunities for Veterans Act.

BootPHP provides a very powerful routing system. In essence, routes provide an interface between the urls and your controllers and actions. With the correct routes you could make almost any url scheme correspond to almost any arrangement of controllers, and you could change one without impacting the other.
As mentioned in the Request Flow section, a request is handled by the Request class, which will look for a matching Route and load the appropriate controller to handle that request.
It is important to understand that routes are matched in the order they are added, and as soon as a URL matches a route, routing is essentially "stopped" and the remaining routes are never tried. Because the default route matches almost anything, including an empty url, new routes must be place before it.
If you look in `APPPATH/bootstrap.php` you will see the "default" route as follows:
Route::set('default', '(<controller>(/<action>(/<id>)))')
'controller' => 'welcome',
'action' => 'index',
The default route is simply provided as a sample, you can remove it and replace it with your own routes.
So this creates a route with the name
default that will match urls in the format of
Let's take a closer look at each of the parameters of Route::set, which are `name`, `uri`, and an optional array `regex`.
The name of the route must be a unique string. If it is not it will overwrite the older route with the same name. The name is used for creating urls by reverse routing, or checking which route was matched.
The uri is a string that represents the format of urls that should be matched. The tokens surrounded with `<>` are keys and anything surrounded with `()` are optional parts of the uri. In BootPHP routes, any character is allowed and treated literally aside from `()<>`. The `/` has no meaning besides being a character that must match in the uri. Usually the `/` is used as a static seperator but as long as the regex makes sense, there are no restrictions to how you can format your routes.
Lets look at the default route again, the uri is `(
You can use any name you want for your keys, but the following keys have special meaning to the Request object, and will influence which controller and action are called:
The BootPHP route system uses perl compatible regular expressions in its matching process. By default each key (surrounded by `<>`) will match `[^/.,;?\n]++` (or in english: anything that is not a slash, period, comma, semicolon, question mark, or newline). You can define your own patterns for each key by passing an associative array of keys and patterns as an additional third argument to Route::set.
In this example, we have controllers in two directories,
admin and
affiliate. Because this route will only match urls that begin with
admin or
affiliate, the default route would still work for controllers in
Route::set('sections', '<directory>(/<controller>(/<action>(/<id>)))',
'directory' => '(admin|affiliate)'
'controller' => 'home',
'action' => 'index',
You can also use a less restrictive regex to match unlimited parameters, or to ignore overflow in a route. In this example, the url
foobar/baz/and-anything/else_that/is-on-the/url would be routed to
Controller_Foobar::action_baz() and the
"stuff" parameter would be
"and-anything/else_that/is-on-the/url". If you wanted to use this for unlimited parameters, you could explode it, or you just ignore the overflow.
Route::set('default', '(<controller>(/<action>(/<stuff>)))', array('stuff' => '.*'))
'controller' => 'welcome',
'action' => 'index',
If a key in a route is optional (or not present in the route), you can provide a default value for that key by passing an associated array of keys and default values to Route::defaults, chained after your Route::set. This can be useful to provide a default controller or action for your site, among other things.
The `controller` and `action` key must always have a value, so they either need to be required in your route (not inside of parentheses) or have a default value provided.
In the default route, all the keys are optional, and the controller and action are given a default. If we called an empty url, the defaults would fill in and `Controller_Welcome::action_index()` would be called. If we called `foobar` then only the default for action would be used, so it would call `Controller_Foobar::action_index()` and finally, if we called `foobar/baz` then neither default would be used and `Controller_Foobar::action_baz()` would be called.
TODO: need an example here
You can also use defaults to set a key that isn't in the route at all.
TODO: example of either using directory or controller where it isn't in the route, but set by defaults
In 3.1, you can specify advanced routing schemes by using lambda routes. Instead of a URI, you can use an anonymous function or callback syntax to specify a function that will process your routes. Here's a simple example:
If you want to use reverse routing with lambda routes, you must pass the third parameter:
Route::set('testing', function($uri)
if ($uri == 'foo/bar')
return array(
'controller' => 'welcome',
'action' => 'foobar',
As you can see in the below route, the reverse uri parameter might not make sense.
Route::set('testing', function($uri)
if ($uri == '</language regex/>(.+)')
Cookie::set('language', $match[1]);
return array(
'controller' => 'welcome',
'action' => 'foobar'
If you are using php 5.2, you can still use callbacks for this behavior (this example omits the reverse route):
Route::set('testing', array('Class', 'method_to_process_my_uri'));
There are countless other possibilities for routes. Here are some more examples:
* Authentication shortcuts
Route::set('auth', '<action>',
'action' => '(login|logout)'
'controller' => 'auth'
* Multi-format feeds
* 452346/comments.rss
* 5373.json
Route::set('feeds', '<user_id>(/<action>).<format>',
'user_id' => '\d+',
'format' => '(rss|atom|json)',
'controller' => 'feeds',
'action' => 'status',
* Static pages
Route::set('static', '<path>.html',
'path' => '[a-zA-Z0-9_/]+',
'controller' => 'static',
'action' => 'index',
* You don't like slashes?
* EditGallery:bahamas
* Watch:wakeboarding
Route::set('gallery', '<action>(<controller>):<id>',
'controller' => '[A-Z][a-z]++',
'action' => '[A-Z][a-z]++',
'controller' => 'Slideshow',
* Quick search
Route::set('search', ':<query>', array('query' => '.*'))
'controller' => 'search',
'action' => 'index',
The `directory`, `controller` and `action` can be accessed from the Request as public properties like so:
// From within a controller:
// Can be used anywhere:
All other keys specified in a route can be accessed via Request::param():
// From within a controller:
// Can be used anywhere:
The Request::param method takes an optional second argument to specify a default return value in case the key is not set by the route. If no arguments are given, all keys are returned as an associative array. In addition, `action`, `controller` and `directory` are not accessible via Request::param().
For example, with the following route:
'controller' => 'ads',
'action' => 'index',
If a url matches the route, then `Controller_Ads::index()` will be called. You can access the parameters by using the `param()` method of the controller's Request. Remember to define a default value (via the second, optional parameter of Request::param) if you didn't in `->defaults()`.
class Controller_Ads extends Controller {
public function action_index()
$ad = $this->request->param('ad');
$affiliate = $this->request->param('affiliate',NULL);
The established convention is to either place your custom routes in the `MODPATH/
TODO: talk about how routes are compiled
Along with BootPHP's powerful routing capabilities are included some methods for generating URLs for your routes' uris. You can always specify your uris as a string using URL::site to create a full URL like so:
However, BootPHP also provides a method to generate the uri from the route's definition. This is extremely useful if your routing could ever change since it would relieve you from having to go back through your code and change everywhere that you specified a uri as a string. Here is an example of dynamic generation that corresponds to the `feeds` route example from above:
'user_id' => $user_id,
'action' => 'comments',
'format' => 'rss'
Let's say you decided later to make that route definition more verbose by changing it to `feeds/<user_id>(/
One method you might use frequently is the shortcut Request::uri which is the same as the above except it assumes the current route, directory, controller and action. If our current route is the default and the uri was `users/list`, we can do the following to generate uris in the format `users/view/$id`:
$this->request->uri(array('action' => 'view', 'id' => $user_id));
Or if within a view, the preferable method is:
Request::instance()->uri(array('action' => 'view', 'id' => $user_id));

Market Square
Vilna Street originated at the Town west Entrance Tower (STOLB). The street ended at the West Side of the Market Square. From the market's East Side, Minsk Street sprawl out, it crossed the wooden bridge on the Volozhynka river shallow stream and than climbed to the hills out of town.
In Vilna Street among mostly Jewish owned wooden houses, stood the Pravoslavnaya Russian TSERKOV (church) and our family dwelling, both of them built from tree trunks. They were located near a picturesque water pond. The Market Square was dominated by the enormous imposing Polish KOSTIEL.
On both sides of the Market, where peasants from the surrounding Volozhyn villages used to sell their farm products, shops were established, most of them were Jewish owned. AROPTSU, on the so-called "Yiddish slope" next to the Volozhynka stream, dwellings, stores and small workshops were located.
On the southern side of the Market and Aroptsu, spread out the elegant Estate of Graph Tishkevitch, the landlord of the town and the surrounding areas.
A hundred meters north of the market was the location of the famous Yeshive, Volozhyn's prize and glory.
However time came at the end of the nineteen's century when Mister Heller, the notable wood merchant from Berlin, bought a great part of Graph Tyshkevitch's forest, employment became widely available and some prosperity become visible in the area.
My father, Hirsh Malkin, Heller's Wood Works general manager, established in Belokorets (a village 3 Kilometers from Volozhin) the enterprise's main office, the CONTOR. The peasants in the area now reached new vitality, they received credit to buy horses and tools. The GOYIM earned much more money working in the woods. A more decent life style became feasible for most in the Shtetl.
Many citizens became Contor executive employees. Merchants used to buy and then resell hemp (konopla) cultivated by the peasants. In Volozhyn there were established workshops (TREPALNIA) to flutter, clean, sort and pack flax. Some of the flax merchants became wealthy. One of them was Aba Levin. His house and trepalnia were near the Yeshive.
The flax warehouse was equipped with iron shutters for fire protection. Beside the warehouse stood a press. Through the Yeshive windows we could see the flax being packed for transport. Aba Levin sent his children to high school in a big town. His store was in Perelman's stone house on the market. The store clients were the Graph's executives and small landlords living in the vicinity.
Graph Tyshkevitch's lands were another source for the area inhabitants to earn money. The graph owned the land of Volozhyn, the Andopolie and Kapustina farms and the extensive, widespread forest areas. The Graph's office was in the Estate on the town southeast side. Within it stood elegant brick and stone structures, his and his family palace residence as well as his staff habitation buildings. The Estate was planted with numerous kinds of trees, flowers, greenhouses and vast fruit orchards. The Volozhyn Jews used to buy the fruits right of the trees.
Two Bunimovitz brothers lived In Volozhyn. One of them rented the Sakovshchina mill. He was a rich man. In 1905 his house was robbed at midnight by a gang of Jewish anarchist's who expropriated all valuable objects for their foundation to fight the czarist regime.
The second brother rented the Andopolie farm, 10-Km from town. Our family was in friendly relations with the second Bunimovitz brother. We used to visit Andopolie on our horses. The farm seemed to me a paradise. A big squire's POMIESHCHIK house, a huge green grass court, a corn barn, a working and riding horses stable and a large cows and calves shed. They cultivated industrial potatoes, which were delivered to an alcohol plant. The butchers on their way to the Polochany rail station stopped before the plant to let the cattle enjoy the offal so to fatten it before butchering it for meat.
Another source for Volozhyn financial affairs was the YESHIVE, in which d hundreds of young men studied. Almost all of them came from other cities and little towns - SHTETL. Their parents supported most of them, and Volozhyn drew the benefits. In addition messengers SHELIHIM collected much money from many Yeshiva supporters.
The towns' inhabitants economical basis was the commerce. Many stores were placed along the streets and around the Market Square. Some inhabitants earned livelihood as craftsmen. There were KARABELNIKS, they used to go to the villages selling merchandise to peasants and buying from them calves, corn and flax to resell in town.
Excluding the water driven mill and soda water production there was not much industry. So it is easy to understand the SHTETL's curiosity and astonishment, when Michael Polak brought a steam engine and boiler for his mill, situated on the left Volozhynka shore.
It happened on a summer evening, when many horses harnessed to a large platform on big strong wooden wheels carried the steam machine from the rail station through Vilna Street, over the Volozhynka wooden bridge to Michael Polak's mill. Many children followed the engine. The entire population was deeply impressed by the technical wonder.
A generator, installed in Polak's enterprise generated electricity. It was the source of the first electrical light in Volozhyn. Each Friday before the candle benediction a whistle of the steam engine announced the holy Sabbath arriving.
The postman who served the Jewish population "Oyzer der raznoshchik" Zirolnik was, during the whole year apart from Simhas Toyra a quiet, humble, dark-yellowish bearded man, usually he was a reserved man but yet he was an ardent Hossid. By the way, it is a place to note that the vast majority of Volozhyn Jews were Misnagdim, Hassidim could be counted on the fingers of one hand. The other Hassidim, apart from Oyzer, were Kushke der Baker, Shloyme der Hossid (Shepsenwol) and perhaps two or three more. Nevertheless, they had enough Energy, passion and yearning to show us during Simhas Toyra festivities the difference between Hassidim and Misnagdim.
Many inhabitants, particularly the young ones, got together on Saturdays near the post office, hoping to receive some mail. Very few people actually received letters. The majority found in the post courts an opportunity to be together, to meet amongst friends, to have a little chat, to tell a Volozhyn story, to hear some gossip and some recent news.
The first telephone in the area was installed in my parents' home, at Vilna Street, near the water pond- sazhelke. Tyshkevitch's estate offices were connected with their woodland horse riding guardians - "Obyezchiki" by a telephone cable. My father took advantage of that cable to install a telephone connection between his home in town and his forest office - "Contor", in Belokorets. So the first Volozhyn telephone was born.
Meyshke had his workshop in Perelman's big stone building, which stood on the north side of the Market Square. Shops occupied the first floor, one of them was Meyshke's "saloon".
The second barber, Alterke, a small dark Jew worked in another small house on the narrow lane leading from the Perelman's house to the Beys Medrash. To get to Meyshke one had to mount some stairs, to Alterke he descended some steps down, because his flat was in half a cellar with tiny windows and from above one could see what's going on inside.
Alterke did not have a special saloon. In one room stood a chair, on the wall a mirror and beside it a small table with barber's tools. His clients were the poor and less important persons, craftsmen, workers and youngsters. I preferred to cut my hair in Alterke's shop. One was at home there and could fool around, mostly when Alterke suddenly left his client in mid of the hair cutting or shaving and went into the second room to calm one of his crying babies. And there were many criers, each year he had a newborn.
Alterke had a goat. Between Alterke's flat and The Beys Medrash was an empty area, where Alterke used to leave his goat to pasture. Untamed boys we were, we would grasp the animal, bring it near the Beys Medrash entrance, open the door and let the bearded goat walk among the praying Jews wrapped in shawls. We would look for a while to see the confusion, then we would close the door and run away satisfied that we succeeded with our entertaining prank.
Charity In Volozhyn during the period before the First World War, neither organized congregation nor affiliated institutions like a hospital, a bank, or savings and loan existed. There was only a public hostel HEKDESH, where wandering poor Jews found a shelter. Some people used to loan money to others with a little interest. However, some richer families were engaged in charity. It was usually done out of sheer goodness, concurrently they were earning a "Mitzvah."
My mother kept a special fund of few hundred rubles, for this purpose. Before a bazaar or a big market day occurred, our home would be visited by multiple small merchants. Mother loaned everyone 30 - 50 rubles to buy goods. The loans were repaid after reselling the goods with no interest. The shopkeepers did not go themselves to buy the goods. There were Jews that owned horses and carts. After Sabbath they harnessed their "transportation facilitators" and left for Minsk or Smorgon to buy the merchandise and later distributed it in the Volozhyn shops.
On bazaar days Shuker used to put a record player on the entrance steps of his shop and turned the handle. The magic box wonderful music became the best publicity stunt and attention attraction during those days. Shuker was also the single photographer in town.
One of his sons (now in America) started the Zionist activity in Volozhyn. He wrote well and he was connected with Zionists from Vilna. He possessed Keren Kayemet stamps, pictures from Erets Israel and sold them among his comrades.
For one of the Zionist Congresses he received Shekels. I bought one shekel despite my lack of understanding of the Zionist Congress elections procedure.
A joke was told about Motke dem Shousters, who for a cup of cacao transferred from the "bund" to the "SS" party.
My first Rabbi was Nahum der Melamed, quiet and easy- going, yellow bearded Jew. He used to speak slowly in a hushed voice. But he often used his belt over his pupil's buttocks. He did it without any signs of anger, as though he was washing his hands before a meal.
t first, while attending the HEYDER my mother used to come there to take me back to our home. Once she complained before reb Nahum about my naughtiness. He looked at me with his cold eyes and said in a florid style: "If your son is wicked we will be obliged to make a blessing over his CHALAS", he had in mind beating my naked buttocks. My mother did not understand the Rebe's meaning and answered that on each Sabbath Eve she bakes two tiny challas for my blessing. The children broke out laughing, they were teasing me for days later with "challas blessing''.
From Reb Nahum, the "babies" melamed, I passed to Reb Gorelik , and after his emigration to America, I was transferred to Mr. Shwartsberg's heyder. Both of them were higher-level. Melamdim. The Heyder contained eight to ten disciples. The Heyder and the teacher's apartment were in Perelman's big house.
Apart from the little Heyders There was in Volozhyn a Jewish primary school. The school was Founded by "the Jewish Society for Education of Jewish children." The Society was established during the Enlightenment Period - HASKALA. The headquarters were located in St Petersburg and the studies were free. The curriculum included Russian language, Arithmetics, singing and hand crafts for girls. The majority of the pupils were girls. The building was placed opposite the Sazhelke. The manager and his family lived in the school building.
The manager, director Freedman, was a graduate of a teacher's seminary. The Society sent him especially to Volozhyn to manage the school. The language he spoke with his wife was Russian. Freedman was a strange person. Medium height, dark skin with marks of black hair. I say marks, because Freedman shaved not only his beard but also his whole head, during both summer and winter. He was a typical "misanthrope". He had no friends. He never invited anyone over. He always walked alone, without his wife or any other acquaintances. He was teaching the higher grade children (there were two classes only).
He was teaching singing. He accompanied his singing with a six-flanked small harmonica. His playing was very tender. From time to time we used to stand under the school windows to hear and to enjoy the wonderful melodies.
His wife, on the other hand, knew all the shtetl stories. She had many Jewish and Gentile acquaintances. Freedman's wife came to our house often. Blustering into the house like a wind, she told all the stories she knew. Mother would serve her a glass of tea. She would drink the tea and run to spread her gossips in a neighbor's house.
Boys who learned in Heyder and wanted to have a general education too, would take lessons with private teachers. All the teachers who prepared me to the secondary school were strangers in Volozhyn. They were wanderers who were skilled in teaching Arithmetic and Russian language. They arrived in a shtetl, earned some money and moved on to another area. There usually was only a single teacher in town during any given period, because of the small number of children who could afford private lessons.
Apart of Ore Polak's daughters who studied in St Petersburg and who never returned to the shtetl, there were no Jewish University students in Volozhyn. Some of the Graph's Polish functionaries and the Polish pharmacist sent their children to study in Moscow. At the summer vacations they came home. They enacted shows inside a large attic at the Estate. Many Jews frequented those cultural events and enjoyed the playing. They did it in Russian. The last show I saw was Anton Chekhov's "Bear".
There was a Yiddish dramatic circle. One of it's top artists was the blacksmith's son, a beautiful boy with a pleasant voice. His best role was in "Yoseph's Sale". The Yiddish language show was played in the Firemen's barrack beside the Sazhelke.
Important cantors -hazonim and poets have sometimes visited Volozhyn's Beys Medrash. Our town cantor criticized them severely, but we youngsters enjoyed them a lot.
During my long life I had the opportunity to meet several Rabonim but no one could be compared to our Reb Refoel. I can still recall him standing at "Smoyneesrey", the eighteen benedictions prayer. I can still hear his beautiful praying, remember his face, his figure, his whole demeanor.
As all the great Volozhyn Rabonim were, so Reb Refoel was called by his first name only. The second name of our master was not known to most of the community members. Yet it was enough to mention "Reb Refoel" and all of us, young and old, men and women, boys and girls, knew that it referred to "Him", our Row, our Genius, to the first among firsts.
Reb Refoel was a tall, slightly bent man. His virtuous eyes radiated kindness. You could see in them the long day and night hours-spent on reading and studying the holy books.
My father had his place in the same Beys Medrash where Reb Refoel prayed. As a small boy I often used to leave my father, to stay in the rabbi's vicinity to listen and enjoy his devoted prayer. He pronounced each sentence slowly, clearly and with sincere intention.
Volozhyn Jews, who usually thought themselves eminent and very important, referred to him with enormous dignity. When Reb Refoel entered the synagogue, a deep silence prevailed in the Beys Medrash building. You would be able to hear a fly passing. All present looked at him with great respect. It seemed to me that in such a manner was welcomed the Kohen Gadol in the Jerusalem temple.
My father used to go to Reb Refoel Shapira's house at Shavuot, to hear the Rabbi's Droshe - Preaching. Present were those who knew perfectly the Torah, skilled in Talmud and the town more important citizens. I remember my father explaining to mother the topic of Reb Refoel's lecture and it's deep thinking.
When you looked at Reb Refoel it seemed that you are not facing a man from this world, but a man who was truly created in God's Image.
Reb Refoel was the Sandak - Godfather - in my brother Isak's "brit".
Everyone who saw Reb Refoel remained enchanted by his personality for the rest of his life.
* Les parents de Yosef Perelman, pere de Sonia et Monia
The Perelman family belonged to the Intelligentsia circle in Volozhyn. Moyshe Perelman's father was the Vishnievo Rabbi (Vishnievo - a small shtetl near Volozhyn, in which Shimon Peres was born).
Moyshe married Malka Itshakin who drew her Ihuss (pedigree) from Rabbi Hayim der Volozhyner, who established the great Volozhyn Yeshiva and was it's first Yeshiva head. Malka was a beautiful, delicate and civilized woman, a lady.
Moyshe Perelman's father left Vishnievo before the First World War and immigrated to Erets Israel, He changed his name to Margolis (which means Pearl in Hebrew) and became a Rabbi in Rehovot.
All Perelman's were talented, educated people. The two sisters never separated from their Russian books, a rare phenomenon for Shtetl girls in those times. The younger, Fania, later became Professor in the Science Academy of Moscow.
The Volozhyn Jews received in those times the Yiddish journal "der Moment". Few of them read Russian newspapers. Moyshe Perelman was receiving the Russian edited in Moscow, "Russkoye Slovo.
The Perelman's stone house was built in 19th century. Graph Tishkevitch built it and gave it as a present to his friend, Reb Hayim der Volozhyner. Malka Perelman inherited the house. It was built in stone in a style similar to the graph's Estate houses. In the lowest part on the Beys Medrash side were apartments. On the market side was a row of shops. To reach them you had to mount a few steps.
On top of a part of the apartments a second floor was built in which Perelman's family lived. The apartment had departed a large balcony overlooking the market, the only balcony in town.
Steps descended from the left side into half a cellar in which the wine shop was located. On the shelves were arranged many bottles with a variety of colored labels. The sales counter was positioned on the left hand side. Behind it in a chair usually sat the elder Perelman's daughter, Haya Dina. Most of her time she was deeply engrossed in Russian literature. While reading she did not know what happened around her and it was possible to remove all the bottles not interrupting Haya Dina's reading
Steps ran down from the shop to a second and then to a third deep underground cellar. Here the life enjoying liquid was transferred from barrels to bottles.
Moyshe Perelman's additional occupation was his insurance agency. His hands were full with work. The majority of the buildings in Volozhyn and the entire region were wood constructions. Since wood is an excellent burning material, fire destruction was common in the area. The big fires counted as major dates. So you could hear people say that an event occurred "between the second and the third Fire.
Widowed, he lived by himself in his big house on Vilna Street, opposite the sazhelke. The house had many rooms and included a living room with pictures on the walls and soft furniture.
We children were mostly interested in his fly and insects collection. They were pierced and packed in glass boxes .The scientific and common name of each one was marked beside the relevant box.
In his elder years Ore Polak married the shtetl delivery nurse. Her son, my friend, took me often to the living room to show me the wonderful collection.
In Volozhyn one did not have to think of Rotshild when he thought about rich people, he used simply to say "If I were Ore Polak..."
At the end of summer, when the sun was still warm, yet not too hot, it was such a pleasure to wander in the distant fields. We would dig potatoes, bake them on the spot by making bonfires and then we would return exhausted and happy to our homes.
In later years when I would return home to spend my high school summer vacation, I used to walk to Kapustina at midnight, extract Michael Polak's brother from bed, and together steal into the creamery to fry the Holland cheese offal on butter. With paradise taste in mouth, returning home, the first sun rays showed in the east.
We used to walk also to Kaldiki, a village inside the forest on the Bierosa River. We bathed in the deep water flowing between beautiful pine and poplar trees, we walked through the forest to collect black and red wild berries. I loved to spend a good time on the forest river shore with a book intoxicated by Mendele Moher Sforim, Lev Tolstoy or Sholom Aleyhem stories.
We often walked late in the night to the Stolb - the town tower at the and of Vilna street, on the forest way, with our sisters and particularly with their comrades, when in our hearts aroused the first love feelings. It was young boys dreams mixed with joy and happiness.
I remember with longing, regret and mourning my happy boyish years, my birthplace town, my home and the life that was brutally and totally destroyed.

Making our case in Austin
A blue-ribbon delegation from Jefferson and Orange counties descended on the state capitol in Austin more than 350 strong this week for Golden Triangle Days. Months of planning by area Chambers of Commerce from Greater Beaumont, Greater Port Arthur, Orange, Vidor, Bridge City, Nederland, Port Neches and Groves paid off as it was impossible to ignore such a large, well-organized group determined to make the best possible case for the Golden Triangle area to legislators and state officials.
Representatives from industry – most notably the oil and gas interests that drive the Golden Triangle economy – were joined by mayors, county commissioners, city council members, college presidents, school teachers, economic development officials, nonprofits and ordinary citizens who engaged in three days of receptions, private briefings, public meetings and personal interaction with elected and appointed officials.
Those exchanges were not limited to formal encounters. An opening-day reception at the Austin office of Port Arthur attorney – and former state senator – Carl Parker was followed by an elaborate meet-and-greet on the mezzanine of the historic Driskill Hotel six blocks from the Capitol, headquarters for the delegation.
Monday was capped off by a Cajun feast and country music concert by Mark Chesnutt at the Austin Music Hall. The largest gathering of Golden Triangle Days saw delegates playing host to legislators and their staffs, state agency workers and assorted Austin heavyweights in a forum conducive to meaningful conversation amidst an evening of good food, music and fun.
Mary Ann Reid, president of the Greater Port Arthur Chamber of Commerce and one of the key organizers for the event, said the hard work paid off."We went to Austin to make the case for the Golden Triangle, and we feel like we accomplished that goal," said Reid.
Back at the Driskill on Tuesday morning, the delegates gathered for a rally to support the oil and gas industry under the banner of "My Town, My Job, My Voice." Jim Rich, president of the Greater Beaumont Chamber of Commerce, has been the driving force behind the campaign to restore common sense to the discussion of the energy future. He emceed the rally that featured remarks by Sen. Tommy Williams; Bill Hammond, president of the Texas Association of Business; Hector Rivero, president of the Texas Chemical Council; and a videotaped message from U.S. Rep. Kevin Brady.
The final event for delegates to get up close and personal with decision-makers came Tuesday afternoon during a golf outing at Wolfdancer Golf Club at the Hyatt Regency Lost Pines Resort.
In the end, the tough decisions that will be made in the coming weeks in the Texas Legislature will take place in an environment that has been informed by the 350-plus delegates who attended Golden Triangle Days in Austin – which was why they made the trip in the first place.

Professional Volunteering Opportunities in Acupuncture, Nepal
Volunteer acupuncturists work at a private hospital in Kathmandu, Nepal.
This project would be perfect for anyone qualified considering voluntary work abroad or professional acupuncturists on a career break.
Here you will find answers to the following questions:
How can volunteer acupuncturists help in Nepal?
What will I gain from this project?
What will Projects Abroad PRO provide?
What skills or qualifications do I need?
How can volunteer acupuncturists help in Nepal?
As a volunteer acupuncturist you can use your knowledge and training to help local staff. You can work on tasks such as:
- Provide treatment for patients requiring acupuncture, including the following tasks:
- Making a diagnosis and devising a personalised treatment plan.
- Explaining the diagnosis and treatment to the patient and responding to any questions and concerns.
- Assessing patient progress through questioning and examination, and reviewing treatment plans if necessary.
- Treating by inserting fine needles into the skin at particular locations to stimulate the energy flow along meridians (energy channels) and the body's own healing response;
- Incorporating other treatments (if applicable), such as:
- moxibustion (burning herbs to warm insertion points).
- acupressure (to loosen and relax muscles).
- Cupping
- Holding workshops with local staff and volunteers to teach them about different aspects of acupuncture. Acupuncture is not widely understood in Nepal, so this is an important part of the volunteer role.
You will be expected to work for four hours per day, Monday to Friday, although this may vary.
Volunteers working on this project must be prepared to work with little or no supervision. Please note senior hospital staff and Projects Abroad staff are able to speak English but most patients will not.
The institutions we work with treat patients of all ages and we allocate volunteers on a case by case basis. If you have a particular area of interest or expertise then please let us know.
This project runs all year round so you can join at any time. You decide how much time you can spare and we will help you get the most out of it. However, it is worth being aware that it takes time to adjust to cultural differences and to gain the trust of local staff. Therefore, the longer you are able to stay the more you and the hospital will gain from the project.
What will I gain from this project?
You will get the chance to work independently and gain experience of treating patients in a basic environment. You will also work with local staff members who can provide an insight into the difference between East and West practices.
You will learn about Nepalese culture and way of life through speaking to your new colleagues. Staff and patients will want to hear about your life back home and your family and friends. We call this 'cultural exchange' and we think it helps our volunteers gain a new perspective on life.
What will Projects Abroad PRO provide?
We have over 20 years' experience of running volunteer projects. We provide you with the following support to make sure your time in Nepal is successful and enjoyable:
- Safe accommodation with a Nepalese family close to your project.
- Friendly and dedicated local staff available to help 24 hours a day.
- Collection on arrival at Kathmandu airport. You will spend your first night in a local hotel.
- Comprehensive medical and travel insurance.
What skills or qualifications do I need?
If you have completed at least an official acupuncture qualification recognised by your national or state governing body, and have two year's experience of treating patients, then you are perfectly suited to this project.
Please contact us if you think your knowledge may be useful on this project but do not have the required qualifications or experience.

Diane Brigham customarily encounters youth eager to pursue their interests.
In her 33 years as an arts educator, she has found them thirsty for big dreams. A staggering number fall short, though, in resources and access to necessary opportunities.
"So many students have talent and motivation, but are not getting instruction and encouragement," she said. "They are devoted to making art, but have no chances at home or school to pursue advanced instruction."
That's where Ryman Arts — established 23 years ago by friends and family of Herbert Ryman, an artist famed for creating an illustration of Disneyland for Walt Disney — steps in.
This Los Angeles-based nonprofit offers free drawing and painting classes, as well as college and career guidance, to young art aficionados. It will be front and center as the charity of choice at the Conspiracy to Steal Art Auction in Laguna Beach on Saturday.
In its fourth year, this event reflects a first-time collaboration between three galleries: Saltfineart, Sue Greenwood Fine Art and the George Gallery.
Saltfineart owner Carla Tesak, who spent her childhood hanging art pieces with her "obsessive art collecting father," as she called him, previously hosted yearly auctions by herself.
Tesak, a Laguna Beach resident, places a high value on supporting local businesses.
"I think Laguna is unique and one of the few places in modern-day America where mom-and-pop stores have a chance," she said. "I think they add vibrancy, diversity and personality to a community. You have someone that actually knows you and the population thinking of what we might need — not some buyer in Minnesota."
For Lisa Aslanian, who owns the George Galley, Ryman Arts was the final piece of the puzzle.
"The event is about art, and we want to give to a school that invests in adding art to the world and helping kids with big talent and little means get proper art educations," she said.
Toward this end, 43 items — from musical sculptures to overflowing teacups and hyper-realism to abstraction — are up for grabs. Each one is valued at half the retail price or with size, medium and the artist's background in mind.
The name, Tesak said, comes from the idea that the deals on the table are good enough to be considered "steals." In keeping with the theme, guests will be greeted by auctioneers in cop outfits, handcuffs and "big heist" tickets, alongside brick-oven pizzas, salad and wine.
The auction represents strength in numbers.
"It seems like we can get more from the whole than the sum of the parts," said Aslanian, who is counting down to the vibe and art Saturday promises.
Tesak's attention was piqued when collectors mentioned Ryman Arts' contributions, she revealed.
Deemed a National Program of Excellence by the President's Committee on the Arts and the Humanities, Ryman Arts has an existing relationship with Otis College of Art and Design. Recently, this network was expanded to include Cal State Fullerton, where underserved teenagers from Los Angeles, Orange and Riverside counties flock to advance their skills.
The Conspiracy To Steal Art Auction, Brigham hopes, will help the organization add two classes — equipped with faculty and materials — to the Fullerton roster in the fall. A highly appreciated by-product is increased awareness.
"So much of Laguna Beach is built around the arts," she said. "The economy in Southern California is closely involved with creative industries, and it all begins with education to young people. They are willing to put in the effort and are so grateful that I think it's incumbent on us, the arts community, to support the next generation of artists and creative problem-solvers."
Brigham will be part of Saturday's turnout, as will several Ryman Arts alumni, some of whom traveled from Newport Beach or Irvine and as far away as San Bernardino County to take classes.
Adding up to 10 hours of creative work per week — in and out of class — to their academic responsibilities, they built portfolios and earned admission to Laguna College of Art and Design, Savannah College of Art and Design, Rhode Island School of Design, Art Institute of Chicago and many more leading schools.
"Students who may be homeless and those that go to very strong public schools get to meet each other," Brigham said. "At first glance, they seem so different, but what they have in common is that they are all artists and want to get better at what they do."

Aja is one of a handful of children found running through the Darkmoon Faire on Darkmoon Island. She can be found with her friends, Kimber, Jerrica, and Shana in the southern and middle section of the grounds.
Aja and her friends are a reference to characters from the 80s cartoon series, Jem. The series features a singing group called Jem and the Holograms, consisting of Jem/Jerrica Benton (Jerrica), Kimber Benton (Kimber), Aja Leith (Aja), and Shana Elsford (Shana). Oddly enough, there is no corresponding in-game character to the last member of the group, Carmen 'Raya' Alonso.

Last year, the Redskins finagled arguably the steal of the draft, selecting running back Alfred Morris in round six. This year, another Morris faces even longer odds to stardom.
Shawn Morris, a Division III college running back at Birmingham Southern, is Alfred's brother. The younger Morris spent the weekend with his brother's team on a tryout basis.
"Same personality, for sure," coach Mike Shanahan told reporters on Sunday regarding Shawn Morris. "I'm not sure they both run the same. But what a quality young man."
Shawn Morris is among more than 40 players who have gotten a chance to get one of 90 offseason roster spots.
"What we do is have our scouts look at these players and if they think somebody has an attribute where it gives them a chance to make our football team, then we bring them in," Shanahan said. "We brought in, like I mentioned, I believe it was 47 guys and either a scout or a coach saw something that they thought they should be in our camp and have a chance to make our football team."
The five-foot, eight-inch Shawn Morris talked about his NFL prospects while taking part in the UAB Pro Day workout in March. "I've always been small and I've always excelled because I have the heart of a lion," Morris said.
He may have the heart of a lion, but he'll need to do a lot to have the uniform of a Redskin come September.

The performance lab at DeVos Fieldhouse on the campus of Hope College has been dedicated in honor of longtime Hope educator and coach Dr. George Kraft.
Dr. Kraft and his wife, Roberta, were honored Thursday, Nov. 14, at a luncheon.
Dr. Kraft was a member of the Hope College faculty from 1967 until his
retirement as Professor of Kinesiology in 2005. He was chair of the
Department of Kinesiology from 1988 to 2003, during which time the
program restructured to reflect its three-fold emphasis on athletic
training, exercise science and physical education. He was also the
college's wrestling coach from 1967 to 1978, and was an assistant
football coach from 1967 to 1997.
"George Kraft was a real agent of change for the Department of
Kinesiology over the course of his career. The department underwent
significant expansion and professionalization of its academic program
under his leadership," said Provost Dr. Richard Ray.
"He was the department chair under whom the DeVos Fieldhouse came to
be a living reality. The thousands of students who studied in the
department during George's career owe him a significant debt of
gratitude for the ways he helped them develop as whole, integrated
persons - mind, body, and spirit."
Current department chair and longtime colleague, Dr. Mark Northuis,
also credited Kraft for laying the foundation for the rapid expansion of the college's
exercise science /pre-health care major."
"Laboratory and research experiences are essential to the education of
our exercise science students, thus it is fitting to honor George's
life of leadership and service to Hope College and the Kinesiology
Department in this way," said Dr. Northuis.
President Emeritus Dr. James Bultman noted that Kraft personified the professor-coach model. "As an assistant football coach and wrestling coach, George was one of the longest serving coaches in the history of the college. Simultaneously, he taught, served in administrative capacities and authored books and professional journals. It is entirely appropriate that he is being recognized by having an academic lab in a primarily athletic facility named in his honor."
Dr. Kraft was born the son of missionary parents in China. He did his
undergraduate work at Wheaton College, majoring in history. After
spending two years as an infantry officer in the U.S. Army, he pursued
graduate work at the University of Indiana where he learned of Hope
and the college's plans to establish a physical education major and
the need to enlarge the faculty accordingly.
He played a leadership role in developing the college's Dow Center,
which opened in 1978, and was the building's program director for many
years. He similarly was involved in the planning of the DeVos
Dr. Kraft's involvement in the life of the college was complemented by
an active interest in music. He and Roberta, who was a member of
Hope's music faculty, developed programs of sacred and secular music
that they presented throughout Michigan.
The Krafts continue to live in Holland in retirement.

Ride For Dime 2013 Texas Charity Event Scheduled in Honor of 'Dimebag' Darrell Abbott
For music fans looking for a good cause to get behind, the annual 'Ride for Dime' event is just around the corner scheduled for Aug. 16 and 17 in Texas. With events scheduled in both Fort Worth and Dallas, friends, fans and family members will all join forces to remember Pantera guitarist "Dimebag" Darrell Abbott with a motorcycle ride followed by two nights of great music.
The two-day event kicks off on Aug. 16 at The Rail Club in Fort Worth, Texas with a night of music including Drowning Pool, Hellbound 'A Tribute to Pantera,' and more.
The actual "Ride" part of the event is scheduled for Aug. 17. Riders will meet at Longhorn Harley Davidson in Grand Prairie and kickstands up at 5PM. This year's route will pass by Dime and Rita's house and past the cemetery where Abbott rests to honor the life and legacy of the guitar great. A $20 donation is all it takes to join the trek.
The ride will be followed by another night of great music at Trees in Dallas with Shadows Fall, Texas Hippie Coalation and Thy Will be Done among the bands to hit the stage.
'Ride for Dime' is a non-profit organization formed in 2010 to honor the legacy of Dimebag, who was slain onstage during a performance in 2004.
For fans not in Texas, donations are accepted on the Ride for Dime website here. All proceeds go directly to the charities supported by Ride for Dime. There are also many additional chapters of Ride for Dime including groups in Philadelphia, Chicago, Florida and Nashville that fans can get involved in.

Sheesham wood is the most popular Indian wood across the globe known for its durability, natural rich grains, and longevity. Sheesham wood has a beautiful irregular grain structure which is very distinctive in appearance and can be polished to a fine finish. Unlike the board furniture, solid wood has natural grains which varies from piece to piece, thus making each and every piece unique.

Diagnostic Medical Sonography
Sonographers Role
Ask the average person what a Sonographer is, and the probable response is "I don't know" or "it is someone who works with Ultrasound." If you probe further and ask the person what ultrasound is, the probable response is "something that is used to evaluate the baby's condition in the mother's womb." Definitely, this is part of what Ultrasound can do, but is this all?
Unlike some medical imaging modalities, the Diagnostic Medical Sonographer interacts very heavily with the patient from the moment he/she walks into the Ultrasound Department until he/she leaves. Ultrasound brings the Sonographer into close contact with patients as opposed to most other imaging procedures where the technologist has more of a distant and transient relation behind a protective wall. The Sonographer interviews the patient inquiring about the reasons that brought the patient for the ultrasound examination. Ergo, obtaining an accurate medical history by the Sonographer is very crucial for making a correct diagnosis.
The Diagnostic Medical Sonographer, under a physician's supervision, is also responsible for:
- Preparing the patient(s) for the Ultrasound examination
- Selecting the appropriate equipment for the ultrasound examination
- Performing ultrasound examinations that yield important diagnostic information
- Recording and gathering ultrasound data
- Analyzing the data collected and reporting the ultrasound findings to the physician in an oral and written fashion for diagnosis
- Using independent judgment whether to extend the scope of the ultrasound examination or not based on the ultrasound findings
- Interacting and collaborating with physicians and other health care professionals for providing a good quality care of the patient
In addition, the Diagnostic Medical Sonographer evaluates new equipment and products for possible future use. He/she also develops new techniques for performing the examinations. The Sonographer also helps surgeons in the operating room to see structures and organs that may be obscured from direct view.
Nowadays, the Sonographer's responsibilities have increased by working hand-in-hand with radiologists, by assuming "independent" roles, by working for non-radiologists, and by working in hospital settings without physician supervision. Sonographers are treated with high respect within the medical community. Their jobs are never dull and always challenging. A Sonographer can be involved with several Ultrasound Specialties.

Bring the 3D Stereogram image really close to your face (until you touch it with your nose).
At this distance your eyes cannot focus on the stereogram and they look somewhere behind it.
Now, slowly push the stereogram away from you, while trying to keep the eyes off focus.
At some point you will see the hidden image.
Another method is to take an object and put it behind the stereogram (about half of meter behind it).
Now, focus on that object while keeping the eyes looking at the stereogram.
Do you remember how is the feeling when you are drunk?
Your eyes don't look at the object arround you, but rather through them.
Well, this is actualy what we are trying to achive (look through the object, not get drunk, loll).
If you can manage to get your eyes off focus, at some point you will be able to see the hidden image.
If you're not train to look at stereograms, this might take you some time.
First time I've looked at a stereogram it took me like an hour
to finally be able to focus the eyes correctly to see the 3D image.

Termite treatment requires a qualified and knowledgeable expert. If you own a home or business and have termite problems, you can rely on our experienced technicians.
Termites are very dangerous to a house structure because of their destructive habits. Because of the large size of its colonies, and the termites' ability to consume wood at a rapid rate, a house structure can be in serious danger. A single colony may contain several million individuals that forage up to 300 feet in soil. A mature colony can consume as much as 13 ounces of wood a day and severely damage a structure in as little as three months. Because of its population size and foraging range, the presence of a colony poses serious threats to nearby structures.
Signs of Termite presence in your home
Subterranean Termite workers construct small hollow moist mud tunnels so termites can gain access to the structure for feeding on the wood and transport it back to the underground colony. Tunnels and wood damage are the two signs found in almost every case.
Termite Behavior — they may be in your home already!
Formosan subterranean termites infest a wide variety of structures (including boats and high-rise condominiums) and can damage trees. In the United States they are responsible for tremendous damage to property resulting in large treatment and repair costs.
Protect Your Home or Business from Termites
Eliminate any wood to ground contact. Portions of your house where wood comes into direct contact with moist dirt is a prime area for termite entry. Look at areas such as porches, or wooden posts placed in the ground. These types of areas attract and feed termites. Hire a licensed professional before your infestation is beyond your capacity to control.

Neither Norwood Fontbonne Academy nor Gwynedd Mercy have found field hockey victories easy to come by in the Girls Catholic Academies League this fall, so each team was eager to emerge with a win when they met at Gwynedd last Wednesday afternoon.
However, as little more than five minutes remained in the second half, a pair of zeroes still hung up on the scoreboard. Norwood finally broke the mutual shutout with 5:03 to go thanks to seventh-grader Sonja Bjornson, and a little later her classmate Gianna Giovannone added an insurance goal to complete a 2-0 victory for the visitors.
Coming into the contest, Norwood had a league record of 1-3-1, and Gwynedd was 1-4. Both teams had beaten Waldron Mercy, and NFA's tie had come against Country Day School of the Sacred Heart.
For the first few minutes of Wednesday's match, the two teams battled back and forth in the middle of the field. Gwynedd was the first to get into the opponent's circle, but the Mustangs didn't get off a shot, and a little later Norwood was unable to put the ball on-goal during a pair of penalty corner sequences.
After Gwynedd brought the ball down to the other end for a short stretch, Norwood came back up the field and Giovannone took the ball into the circle. Seconds later, Norwood was awarded a long hit from the right side, now with a little over nine minutes left in the first half. Eighth-grader Jacquelyn Nyzio drove the ball along the endline to the goal, but no one was in position to shoot for the Bears.
NFA earned two corners as the first half wound down and the visitors were still on the offensive at the end, but the score remained 0-0 as the intermission arrived. In the midfield and elsewhere, Nyzio had been handling the ball a great deal of the time for Norwood, but in the second half more people stepped up and got involved, and this helped lead to the victory.
On the other side, seventh-grader Gia Hunt was a workhorse for Gwynedd in the transition game, but when the Monarchs got into the circle, they weren't able to put much pressure on the NFA goal. Norwood goalie Mary Kate Ciolko, a seventh-grader, had to make just one save en route to her shutout.
Early in the second period, the Bears' Nyzio drove the ball into the Gwynedd circle, and seventh-grader Mari Kniezewski fired a shot off the leg pads of the Mustangs' eighth-grade keeper, Hannah Santos. Santos logged six saves during the contest, and made a number of kick clears, as well.
The visitors missed the cage on shots by Bjornson and by eighth-grader Lilly Gilmore, and in the middle of the period a Norwood corner was initially disrupted by the Gwynedd defense, and Santos made the save on a follow-up shot.
Soon after that, the Mustangs galloped down the field and brought the ball right to the mouth of the visitors' goal. Here, Ciolko recorded her lone save of the day, and Gwynedd was not quite aggressive enough to cash in on its best scoring opportunity of the afternoon.
As regulation time ticked away, no one wanted to mention the dreaded "O" word, but it certainly began to look like overtime was in the offing.
On one of Norwood's many rushes, Nyzio sent the ball into the circle from the right wing. Kniezewski was unable to finish from near the far post, but Norwood kept the ball around the home team's circle, and eventually Bjornson scored with 5:03 remaining in the game.
Gwynedd's Santos stopped a shot by Gilmore a little after that, but when the NFA eighth grader was partially blocked on another shot later on, Giovanonne closed in to knock the ball into the cage with 2:15 to go. Gilmore had another shot saved by Gwynedd's Santos down the stretch and the Bears earned a final corner in the last half-minute, but the count was still 2-0 when the contest came to an end.

Aloha …
On September 14, Mark Diamond who took over for the former Public Affairs Officer with the headquarters of the US Air Force Air Mobility Command (AMC), informed me that the Air Force elected to cancel the roundtrip embark to Hawaii. The reason is that the Air Force aircraft involved budgetarily belong to the US Pacific Command or Pacific Air Forces based in Hawaii. As the former PAO had undertaken this endeavor as an AMC funded training flight, the planning proceeded along since April. Then, upon closer inspection, the leadership of AMC elected to cancel it.
The Vice Commander of AMC advised Mark Diamond that the AMC still can support an embark out of Travis AFB for bloggers, podcasters, and journalists to observe C-17 air-drops. Therefore, there is a silver lining to the process of having gotten better acquainted with the Air Mobility Command.
On September 7, 2010, the Office of Public Affairs for the Air Mobility Command informed me that there would be a change of Public Affairs Officers for the embark. Also, I was informed that the dates changed to October 1 – 7. He asked me if this change meant the embark needed to be postponed. I fedback that I would need to do a survey of those who had committed to the October 3-6 dates.
The outcome of the survey of committed participants was that some would still be able to participate, and yet others would need to sadly cancel.
On August 29, 2010, I submitted the names, contact information, and vitae-bio of bloggers, podcasters, and journalists to the US Air Force who responded to my Facebook posting, tweets, and direct invitations to participate in the Bloggers-Media Embark to Hawaii.
On August 31, 2010, Captain Amber Balken, Public Affairs Officer for the Air Force Air Mobility Command (AMC), informed me that she approved my list of people, and that she would proceed with the planning and scheduling of the US Air Force transport for the embark.
The US Air Force's Air Mobility Command, based at Scott Air Force Base, Illinois (USA).
The United States Air Force's Air Mobility Command, based at Scott Air Force Base – Illinois, informed me on August 6, 2010 that it is looking at either the span of four days of October 3-6, 2010 or three days of October 4-6 for implementing the roundtrip embark. I will learn very soon as to the dates.
The Bloggers-Media Embark was to allow a group of 20 composed of a mix of bloggers, podcasters, and journalists to travel roundtrip to-from Hawaii (Oahu) via Travis Air Force Base, California aboard a US Air Force transport, e.g. C-17 Globemaster III. The participants were to lodge and dine at Travis AFB, California most likely the night before the embark and then at Hickam Air Force Base, Hawaii, hence the cost is conservatively $400 total per person.
The United States Air Force's Air Mobility Command was absolutely gracious in offering Air Force leadership and roundtrip transportation to and from Oahu's Hickam Air Force Base via Travis Air Force Base, California (near Silicon Valley). This Bloggers-Media Embark would have allowed bloggers, podcasters, and journalists to observe United States Air Force operations, meet Air Force leadership at all levels, and hear briefings from the US Pacific Command, Pacific Air Forces, and Air Mobility Command.

The list of new recipes I want to try has been growing, but due to trips away and feeling unwell, admittedly the motivation has been somewhat lacking.
How the bakers managed to hold the bun open with one hand whilst piping cream into the middle with the other, all whilst keeping everything looking neat and pretty is beyond me.
The test of manual dexterity and mass of washing up involved was well worth it. These buns were such a delicious treat.
The smell of these buns coming out of the oven was lovely. Being new to baking bread, I get so much gratification from the heady scent it infuses into the kitchen.
Literally as soon as the jam had been piped onto the last bun, we all dived in. The first bite was just heavenly. The buns had a slightly crisp texture to its outer shell, a nice contrast to the soft bread and creamy, jammy middle.
Sweet soft bread, icing, cream and jam, how can you resist such a combination?
- 500g strong white bread flour
- 2 x 7g packets fastaction dried yeast
- 50g caster sugar
- 40g unsalted butter, softened
- 2 large free-range eggs
- 10g sea salt flakes, crushed
- 140ml lukewarm water
- 300g icing sugar
- 42ml cold water (I needed alittle more for a runnier consistency of icing sugar)
- 200ml whipping cream
- 1 x 400g jar strawberry jam, warmed and sieved, then cooled
- Put all the ingredients for the dough into a large mixing bowl with 100ml water. Mix together with your hands until a dough is formed. Slowly work in 40ml water and massage the dough in the bowl for about 4 minutes.
- Tip the dough onto a lightly floured worktop and knead well for 10 minutes or until the dough is smooth and elastic. Return to the bowl and cover with a damp tea towel. Leave to rise for 1 hour.
- Tip the dough out onto the very lightly floured worktop again and divide into 12 pieces. Roll into balls and then into 'fingers' about 12.5cm long.
- Divide the fingers between the baking sheets, leaving plenty of space around and between them to allow for spreading. Leave to rise, uncovered, for about 40 minutes or until doubled in size. Towards the end of the rising time, preheat the oven to 220°C/425°F/gas 7. Bake the fingers for about 10 minutes. Leave to cool on a wire rack.
- For the icing, sift the icing sugar into a bowl. Gradually stir in 42ml cold water to make a thick paste. When the fingers have completely cooled, split them open lengthways, not cutting all the way through. Dip one side of each finger into the icing and smooth it with your finger. Leave to set on a wire rack.
- Lightly whip the cream until thick and place in the piping bag. Pipe a generous line of whipped cream into each finger. Spoon the cooled sieved strawberry jam into a small plastic bag and snip off one corner. Pipe a delicate line of jam onto the cream in each finger

Are you living in the magic of life?
I am coming to believe that is something I need to ask myself every day. Am I living in the magic of life?
Some days I can honestly say No. I am working to make sure that every single day I ask myself if I am living in the magic of life that I can say YES! I accept that is can be hard some days. It has to be a conscious shift in how I think and live every day. I think I am getting there but it is a process.
But what does living in the magic of life really me?
I think it means living a truly happy and authentic life. It is waking up every day being grateful for the blessings in your life. There is not doubt that much of the pressures of the world we live in can really put a damper on that feeling. We are surrounded by images trying to tell us that we need more to be truly happy. There is nothing wrong with wanting more in my mind but in order to want more, or to get more of those things that make you happy I believe that you need to be happy with what you have already. More isn't always more. When you come from a place of happiness and gratitude more happiness and things for you to be grateful for will come into your life.
I am always moving toward loving every day of my life. I don't want to say that it is work in a negative way but it is work. It is work in the most positive of ways. It is fun work. There is a total beneficial pay off for working hard at making sure of a total shift in thought because I become happier and more satisfied and more content with the life that I am living.
Are you grateful for what you have? Are you living in the magic of life?

"Cybill Shepherd!"
There are worse things a person could spontaneously shout while standing in line at the grocery store. As it was, my outburst caused the checkout clerk to drop a dozen eggs and a person in the next line to look around and say, "Where?"
But it was a moment of triumph for me, a welcome relief after three long days of frustration.
It all started on a family road trip to Massachusetts, when we passed a driver who looked kind of like Bruce Willis.
