The online bidding that consumers have become accustomed to in the travel industry is now moving into the fitness industry with the launch last month of GymBids.com.
The online lead generator for health clubs works a bit differently from some of the other online lead generators. Clubs registered with the site receive notification when someone in their area registers on the site for information. Clubs then start "bidding" on the potential member, offering deals only advertised to GymBids.com users.

About R. Hammond
Hugh Mann's comment is the best here. I mean, imagine if every artist tried to be Girl Talk? It's just untenable. Yes, some critics laud this young author and Girl Talk for their work, but to promote their methods as the new model for creativity is foolish. These works can only have value as a commentary on works made through more traditional methods of creativity. Don't get me wrong, it is important commentary (though to be honest, I don't think Girl Talk is all that important, but I'm talking more generally here). But if this becomes the artistic norm, that value will be lost, and I fear we won't be left with much else.
Sorry, but what you posted clearly states they did not appreciate its use.
@nastybutler77: Neither the aboriginal people nor Harold Thomas can be considered a non-profit group like Red Cross or Amnesty International, so to me your analogy seems ridiculous. Harold Thomas isn't even a group, he is a person. And in both examples you gave, you can bet that Google would ask the permission of the organization to do so. Google asked Harold Thomas and he said no. I really don't see where the outrage comes from.
Refer to monkytypist's comment above for a clearer explanation of the context and meaning of the flag. As you can probably glean from both the article and the comment, it is not simply about money. You can disagree with Thomas' decision all you want, but this is actually an example of what is good about copyright law, rather than a reason to scoff at it.
@nasch: I was responding to the implications made by Mike and some comments, where it was offered that this copyright claim was superfluous and Google should be allowed to show the image. Of course, Google did not infringe, it was a failed business transaction as you described. I have no problem with what occurred, I just was surprised that other people did.
The only issue I see is Google's presumption that they should receive creative content for free (as they initially offered), which is awful presumptuous for a corporation. It makes sense why they would try, but that still doesn't make it right.
Exactly, this is one of the points I was trying to make made more clear. Put aside the stuff I mentioned about colonialism (but still think about it!), this makes sense as a simple artist vs corporation story.
I can understand why people commented harshly about the artist, as Mike's original post accuses this man of keeping the flag all for himself. But the article clearly states that he allows its use for non-profit/non-commercial purposes, and the Australians who have commented have corroborated this. Google doesn't fall under that umbrella. Sounds like a basic Creative Commons license to me.

To assemble the nachos, arrange the tortilla chips on a large serving platter. Pile with warm pulled pork. Drizzle barbecue and cheddar sauce over the top, to taste. Garnish with pickled jalapenos and crumbled queso fresco. Serve with cilantro-sour cream, salsa verde and hot sauce on the side.
Note: This recipe can be as simple or complex as you'd like. Feeling lazy? Just pick up some smoked pork at your favorite barbecue house and add your favorite sauce. If you only do one thing, though, by all means make the cheddar sauce from scratch. You'll never go back to the neon-yellow box again. Trust me, you're conscience (and your taste buds) will thank you for it.
Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.
First, make the spice rub. Whisk together the paprika, kosher salt, black pepper, garlic powder, chili powder, mustard powder and cayenne. Massage the spice rub into the pork butt, coating on all sides.
Place the rubbed pork in a large Dutch oven; add beer, cider vinegar and liquid smoke. Cover and cook for approximately 3 hours, basting occasionally, until the pork easily falls apart. Remove the pork to a large cutting board while still hot. Cut off excess fat and carefully shred the meat; it is harder to pull once it has cooled. (I either wear heavy-duty rubber gloves on my hands or use my new "bear paws," but two large forks would work, too.) Place the shredded pork back into the Dutch oven and toss with its cooking juices. Cover and set aside until moving forward with the recipe. Yield: 1 1/2 to 2 pounds pulled pork, depending on the amount of fat and bone on the cut.
To reheat, cook the barbecue (in its Dutch oven) over medium-low heat until warm. If you want crispier shredded pork (more like your favorite barbecue house), reheat it on the stovetop first, then spread it on a sheet pan and pop it under the broiler for a few minutes, watching carefully so it does not burn.
In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the remaining ingredients, whisking to combine. Bring the sauce to a boil; reduce heat and simmer. Cook until the mixture is thickened, approximately 10 minutes. (This barbecue sauce only gets better with time, so feel free to make it a few days in advance.) Yield: 2 cups sauce
In a medium saucepan, whisk together the eggs and evaporated milk. Turn heat to medium-low; add mustard powder, Worcestershire sauce, hot sauce and half of the shredded cheese. Once the cheese sauce begins to warm, add the cornstarch-water mixture (aka the slurry). Whisking frequently, gradually add the remaining cheese and cook until the sauce reaches desired thickness, 10 to 13 minutes. (The sauce will continue to thicken as it cools. Stir in more evaporated milk if necessary.) Season generously with kosher salt.
To reheat the cheddar sauce, add additional evaporated milk to the cheese, one tablespoon at a time, while whisking over medium-low heat until desired consistency is reached. Yield: 2 cups sauce
In a small bowl, mix the sour cream, cilantro and lime juice until well combined. Season with salt. Chill for at least one hour before serving. Add more lime juice and salt before serving, if desired.

Coyotes With One Last Chance To Win At Home
South Dakota is going from one extreme to another this week on their final Summit League home stand of the season.
Thursday, it was the up tempo, high scoring offense of Omaha paying a visit to the DakotaDome, and the Coyotes needed every second of the game to eek out a one-point victory over the Mavs.
Saturday, the USD defense prepares for the very deliberate style of Western Illinois, who has lost five straight.
The Coyotes will be trying the avenge their only lopsided loss of the first half, when the Leathernecks beat them, by 18 in Illinois.
In that game, freshman Garret Covington led the way with 21 points, while WIU took advantage of soft USD defense, shooting 71 percent in the second half, 62 percent for the game:
Saturday is the last regular season home game for Coyote seniors Trevor Gruis and Karim Rowson. Coach James says those moments are always tough:
Tipoff Saturday is 4:00pm in Vermillion.

Clear Channel launches electronic dance music radio station on former WFNX signal
Clear Channel Media and Entertainment on Thursday launched an electronic dance music radio station in Boston on 101.7FM, the former signal of alternative rock station WFNX. The news ends months of speculation about what Clear Channel would do with the frequency it purchased from the Phoenix Media/Communications Group in May for $14.5 million.
The new station, Evolution 101.7 WHBA, will broadcast the same electronic dance music featured on Clear Channel's iHeartRadio Internet station Evolution.
"Like the early days of FM, iHeartRadio is the new playground for programming experimentation,'' said Tom Poleman, Clear Channel's president of national programming platforms. "Evolution's innovative programming resonated with our iHeartRadio consumers so well that extending the station to a broadcast radio platform was the next step to connect our listeners with great music.''
The arrival of Evolution 101.7 closes the book on the broadcast story of WFNX, which went off the air in July after nearly three decades. Six WFNX staffers migrated to RadioBDC, the Boston Globe's online radio station that debuted in August.
WFNX relaunched in September as an online-only station with new personalities and programs.
With the addition of Evolution 101.7, Clear Channel now owns six radio stations in the Boston market, including pop music station Kiss 108 and hip hop station Jam'n 94.5.
Dylan Sprague, Clear Channel's operations manager in Boston, said the city's appetite for electronic dance music, known as EDM, makes it an ideal setting for a broadcast station devoted to the genre.
"We've seen the impact of EDM in Boston through music downloads, sold-out concerts and passion for iHeartRadio's new Evolution channel,'' Sprague said.
Evolution 101.7 will be anchored by British disc jockey Pete Tong, a BBC radio host known for dance music. Tong will host a daily program from 7 to 9 p.m. called "All Gone Pete Tong,'' showcasing electronic dance music from around the world.
Other shows will be hosted by a rotation of DJs, including Diplo, Wolfgang Gartner, Fatboy Slim and Dim Mak. None of them will actually work out of studios in the Boston area, nor will they be producing local programming.
The station will feature interviews with prominent electronic dance music producers and DJs, and exclusive content from the final tour by Swedish House Mafia, one of the genre's most popular groups.

Greek-Style Patani/Lima Beans
Here's a secret. Sometimes I crave fabulousness and excitement. I want towering stilettos, preferably patent and pointy and liable to break your feet in three places Fine Wine. I want dresses that look like songs were written for them. I want late nights of dancing. And flashbulbs. And drama. And dishes that take many days and a fairy godmother to make.
Then there are times when I want simple and straightforward. Tranquil contentment. Good bread with butter and salt. Staying home with newly laundered sheets and a good book. I want flip flops and my pink flats with the rubber sole. And freshly squeezed orange juice. And sensibility. And simple ingredients put together in a simple way.
Which ultimately become fabulous.
When it comes to simple yet fabulous dishes that highlight an ingredient to its utmost best I turn to Molly of Orangette. Look at what she has done to Brussels sprouts (a dish I fell in mad, mad, crazy love with). And chickpeas. And shallots. And mushrooms Pegboard Displays.
It is to her blog's welcoming doorstep that I eventually found myself when searching for something to make of the bag of patani (lima beans) I had picked up at the market. I usually have them with bacon or prosciutto, but I was ready for something new. But simple. But fabulous. And I found it.
Greek-Style Patani/Lima Beans
(adapted from Orangette)
250 grams fresh patani
1/3 cup water
2 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil, plus more for serving
1 tablespoon coarsely chopped fresh Italian parsley
1 1/2 teaspoon minced garlic
Sea salt to taste
- Blanch the fresh patani in boiling water for about 5 minute. Drain and peel.
- Combine the peeled patani Voting System, water, olive oil, parsley, garlic, and salt in a saucepan. Place the pan over medium heat, and cook, covered but stirring occasionally, until the beans are tender, about 15 minutes.
- Transfer to a serving bowl, and serve, drizzled with more olive oil, if you like.
- Serves 2.
I don't know how close patani is exactly to lima beans, perhaps they are one and the same…or perhaps siblings grown in different climes thus possessing slightly different traits. In any case, this recipe worked beautifully with patani as I'm sure it did with Molly's lima beans. I love these beans, so their flavor and texture ringing true and clear in this dish won my heart. That and the unrepentant pungency of the garlic, for which I am also a fan. I'm sure this would be amazing as a side with some delicately prepared fish. Or as Molly (and I) had it with some crusty bread. If you have leftovers I imagine they would do well as a dip or spread – either whizzed in a processor or chunkily smushed with a fork, perhaps with some goat's cheese or Greek yogurt mixed in.

Asparagus is a green vegetable that grows in spears.
It's good for you and lots of people like the taste. It has a lot of folic acid, which is an important B vitamin. It's also full of potassium, fiber, vitamins A and C, and thiamin. It's naturally fat-free.
You can try it raw, but it's usually cooked in a little boiling water, steamed, baked in a hot oven, or stir-fried in a pan. One delicious way to prepare it is to brush it with olive oil and grill it in a grill basket or in some aluminum foil. Get help from a grownup, of course, with the grilling. Then sprinkle with a little salt and pepper — and enjoy.
Most definitely. It's a known fact that asparagus can make your pee smell funny. It doesn't seem to affect everyone, but scientists have determined that some folks excrete a funny-smelling compound in their pee (urine) after eating the vegetable. It's not harmful, just a smelly sign of the way your body breaks down the asparagus.

The most surprising thing about Ezio Auditore in Soul Calibur V happens when you pull off his unblockable move.
I won't spoil it for you, but if you watch this video I shot of a Namco Bandai rep controlling the Assassin's Creed character, you'll see what Ezio's weapons and tactics look like. The Ezio in the game isn't the older bomb-thrower of Assassin's Creed Revelations. He's the younger, faster warrior circa Assassin's Creed Brotherhood. Young or not, he's going to have his hands full fighting the cast of Namco's medieval brawler.

4-30-10 Progressive Field
I decided to attend today's Twins vs Indians game to try and snag a Twins Target Field commemorative ball.
Surprisingly, I wouldn't have to wait long at all. Within 30 seconds of entering the stadium, I found my first ball of the day laying in the bleachers. Upon later inspecting it, I found out that it was indeed a 2010 Target Field ball.
Unfortunately, the logo was badly beat up.
There was no other Easter Eggs to be found.
Batting practice was rather slow today during the Indians portion, so I attempted to get a few toss ups. I got Chris Perez to toss me a ball, but some guy reached in front of me and robbed me.
When I saw the ball stayed in the trees and didn't bounce out, I was off sprinting to Heritage Park.
Also running towards Heritage Park in front of me were Nick and Bryan Pelescak, as well as some other local Cleveland ballhawk.
We all got to the area at about the same time. As I was searching for the ball, I heard a fellow fan saw, "it hit farther down." Myself and the local Cleveland ballhawk got to the spot at the same time. There it was. Justin Morneau career home run #168. The ball was impossible for anyone to get as it was lodged in the base of one of the hemlocks, between three thick branches.
It didn't matter though, as I reached in with my stick (collibsible yard stick), poked the ball loose, and grabbed ball #10, and my third game ball of 2010.
The ball didn't come without controversy, as the other ballhawk was real upset that he wasn't able to get it. He wasn't prepared. Luckily a cop was ri
ght there, and told me and the other guy that it was mine to get, as I "had something to get it with."
Of course the other guy was a really sore loser and complained and heckled me the rest of the night. Apparently he reads this blog and takes exception to me and the fact that I catch a lot of baseballs. Whatever though. I dropped it and spent the rest of the game in left field foul territory, and came close on at least three foul balls.
I would finish the game with ten.
Nick snagged 11, and his brother Bryan 7. 28 between the three of us.
A good night at Progressive
Here are today's baseballs: (Morneau HR #168 in foreground)
and the sweet spots:
By the way, this is the video of Justin Morneau's home run in the first inning.
Game: 10 balls (4 hit, 3 thrown, 1 device, 2 found)
Season: 61 balls (38 hit, 10 thrown, 7 device, 6 found)
Games: 9 games
Average: 6.78 balls per game
2010 Game Balls: 3
Career: 639 balls
Streak: 105 consecutive games attended with at least 1 ball snagged.
Attendance: 14,124
2009 through 8 games: 42 (Currently I am 19 balls ahead of last year's career high season pace)

Hi all,
I'm about to buy a surfboard and have narrowed my choices to a 2012 Slingshot Tyrant (5'11 - 6'1) and 2013 Wainman Magnum (5'10 - 6').
Has anyone tried both? Can you recommend board and sizes? Any other board recommendation?
I will use the board mainly for small waves, crappy surf and for cruising (and racing on it) in choppy waters. I'm 6' tall (1.82m) and 160lbs (72kg). Strapped and unstrapped. If the board can be used like a regular board (paddled, no kite) it would be a plus, so I don't have to travel with two boards.
Thanks so much!

by Jim Harris
Once upon a time, parking lots in Chestnut Hill were overseen by kindly old gentlemen in quaint little guardhouses. They were a distinctive part of the community.
"Mornin' Jim! How ya doin'? How's that new puppy?"
"She's great, Uncle Joe. Got any open spots?"
"Sure. Doc Jones is just pulling out. You can have his space."
"Thanks, Joe. See you at the hoedown tonight?"
"You bet!"
But Uncle Joe and his rustic cohorts have been kicked to the curb and replaced by robots. Dispassionate, automated kiosks now guard the gates 24/7 with unflinching efficiency, and visitors are greeted by a phalanx of signs bearing terse proclamations, regulations, exhortations and explanations: "Press here, go there, do this, don't do that. No change given, no pennies, nickels, dimes or bills larger than $5. Will not return bills if cancel button is pushed. Putting in nickels or dimes may result in waterboarding at Guantanamo Bay!"
Here's how this new revenue-producing program works: shoppers are lured into the "bait station" — in the form of a much needed parking spot — then forced to purchase a time-stamped parking receipt from "R2D2" (the brains of the operation). All the while, shadowy henchmen and henchwomen prowl the landscape, waiting for parkers to let down their guard so they can slap them with a $26 fine.
I guess this "new lot order" might be workable for young folks, but it's difficult for old codgers like myself. Not only are the directions on the tiny kiosk windows hard to read and more confusing than an income tax return, but you need to have the agility of a watchmaker to grab the elusive little receipt that comes out from underneath an awkward, useless plastic door, then retreats back into the bowels of the machine every time you try to grab it.
Additionally, if you should accidentally insert a nickel or dime while feeding the machine, the whole process is aborted and you receive an "illegal coin" admonishment. You then have to 1. figure out what just happened; 2. start all over again while constantly looking over your shoulder; 3. Make sure the Philadelphia Parking Authority torture squad is not within grabbing distance.
The new system may be making money, but what's lost is the camaraderie and small town atmosphere that made Chestnut Hill such a desirable destination. But fear not, I believe I have a brilliant compromise solution. Bring back the old lot attendants but put them INSIDE of the kiosks. That way, they could change the receipt paper as needed, count the money, repair any minor machine malfunctions and still maintain a modest rapport with patrons.
"Good Morning, Sir or Madam. Welcome to Lot Five. Please insert cash and press the green button."
"Uncle Joe, is that you? What are you doing in there? You don't sound so good."
"Is that Jim? Hi! How's that new puppy?"
"Fine. Do they ever let you out of there?"
"Oh sure," we get a 15-minute break every day and a week off at Christmas. You'd better get back to your car. One of our operatives is writing down your license plate number."
Of course, if residents reacted negatively to having their neighbors locked up in kiosks, maybe prisoners from Guantanamo Bay could be brought in to staff the machines, but some of the camaraderie might be lost.
Eventually, I suppose, all of the kiosks will be directly connected to the main computer at the National Anti-Terrorist Military-Industrial Corporate Headquarters in Washington, and anyone who fails to comply with all posted regulations will wind up inside a kiosk him/herself. Oh well, that's progress, I guess. At least no one has yet suggested posting armed guards at all the lots.

'The Walking Dead' Dubbed with Bad Lip Reading
Fans of 'The Walking Dead' know that the show tends to get more than a little grim, so it's great to see this Bad Lip Reading video take the air out of one of the most suspenseful shows on TV.
One of the great things about Bad Lip Reading is how the videos manage to be hilarious while also offering a pretty good critique of the show. So stream the clip above to see and hear a different side of Rick and his zombie killin' crew.

I have a quite a lot of work to do, many words to churn out and what does a good procrastinator do? Finds things to melt into palettes!
I have had a few empty palettes lying around for a while now I was intending to make into useful palettes. My Nars Multiples have lasted FOREVER. I must have chopped an inch off them now for various palettes but there was more than enough for another palette!
I gathered 12 and totally forgot to get my Copacobana out! Grrr. The palette – (that's a sticker I nicked off a child)
I like these new palettes you can get from eBay – not too small, not to big, removable pans for flexibility. I get mine from eBay for about £6 NOT Coastal Scents – I would highly recommend UK ladies go to eBay as its cheaper overall.
Labels for the back:
Grab a candle. You also need tissue, sanitizer, a knife and a spoon (stainless steel) (ooh this is turning into a tutorial – I have plenty of tutorials on depotting/making palettes on this site btw):
Isopropyl Alcohol – clean your tools! Slice some of your product:
Melt over the candle:
Stir and pour into pan (take out of the palette):
Argh! I hate little imperfections:
1. Always sanitize your tools. Beware – if you Isopropyl Alcohol to wipe the spoon, if it touches the flame it will crackle and possibly explode a little. So…
2. Do not let the spoon touch the flame because…
3. You want the product to melt NOT BOIL. If you BOIL it it may change colour and lose some shimmer too…
4. With shimmer shades you MUST stir stir stir quickly to spread the glitter and pigment before you pour.
5. Every product is different – some are thicker and will never get very liquid so you need to work with this quickly, others will liquify very fast.
Finished palette:
Shades (L-R, Top to Bottom)
Mauritus, Orgasm, Portfino, Cannes
Mustique, South Beach, Maldives, St Barts
Riveria, Malibu, Palm Beach, Wakiki
I can't believe I missed out my baby, Copacabana (a highlighter).
Come on Nars! Bring out some new shades!
Because that went smoothly I decided to melt down my Nars Lipstick collection too. I included a Burts Bees Lip Balm because Nars Lipsticks are quite dry:
I got this palette from Screenface for some silly price like £20:
Anyway I did the same thing as with the Multiple palettes, but it is SO much harder when filling small spaces. Next time I will use a pippette because this was incredibly time consuming to make as I just have to have clean edges!
Word of warning – I had a free space so I put an Anna Suit glittery lipstick in there and I think it may be the heat of it that made the pan pop up and close the well!:
No idea why as the lipstick was no more heated than the other colours but be aware when you are making you palette – creamy lipsticks will work best. Maybe I should put a sticker on that space and make it a feature?!
Time wasted: 5 hours
And of course two totally necessary, useful palettes to take away with me and use in the morning!
Now – what else can I melt down? Can cats be compacted?!

With very few exceptions, Hondas are front-drivers, and front-drivers don't make the best wheelie cars. An exception in the Honda fleet being the late, departed S2000. Watch as this heavily-tuned unit managed a very un-Honda-like nose loft (helped by massive boost and drag slicks) at TX2K12 this past weekend.
Unlike the unlucky-lucky-lucky GT-R driver at the same strip, the S2K racer had the good sense to back out before things got totally out of hand — and he still finished with a 14.3 second quarter-mile time, or about what the stock car does flat-out.
(Hat tip to Jeff!)

A customized anti-aging retinoid formula and personalized care by a medical provider, all for just the price of a meal!

I had a sudden bout of hormonal acne. I tried everything for months and even considered going on another course of roaccutane. Curology was my last attempt before I go on roaccutane. And I'm so glad I gave it a try. Not only are my pimples gone. But the small under the skin black and white heads are also gone. My skin is smooth. Give it a try. You have nothing to lose with one month free trial.

After suffering from acne my whole life, I can say that Curology is the BEST acne medication out there right now. Because the formula in each bottle of curology is customized to your skin problems, literally you will see improvements to your skin in a week. My problems were never big zits, it was more that every single one of my pores were always filled with gunk and oil deposits, no matter how often I went to the aesthetician to clean out my skin, or wash my face diligently, my pores were always clogged and become infected and would erupt again. The process is frustrating and it got really old, when I'm already close to forty and still have the skin problems of a teenager.
I have used Proactiv, Rodan and Fields, chinese formulas teas, gone to acne.com and followed their advice, cut diary and sugar out of my diet, you name it I tried it, but nothing has provided the relief to my skin. My curology formula includes the following:
– tretinoin 0.009% (unclogs pores and improves skin texture)
– clindamycin 1% (antibacterial and anti-inflammatory)
– azelaic acid 9% (antibacterial that also fights redness and dark spots/post-acne marks)
They may differ for each person, you upload your picture into their site, and get the consultation online by a RN or Physician Associate.
My nighttime routine is as follow:
1) Double step cleaning, first remove make up with [Banila Clean It Zero Purity] then clean [Su:m37 Miracle Rose cleansing Stick]
2) Toning with [Park and Son Beauty Water]
3) Moisterizer with [Nature Republic Aloe Vera 92% Soothing Gel] and every other day [Mizon Snail Repair Intensive Ampoule]
4) Smooth Curology formula over problem areas.
You will notice that the brands I use are all korean, it's not because i'm korean, I'm asian lady from California, I just find korean brands to be very natural and gentle on skin. It's not harsh or irritates the skin with less chemical in the products. You can go to amazon.com and get it shipped to you.
I am not paid to promote this product, just want to share my experience with other acne sufferers, as I know how frustrating it is!

I heard about this service from several blogs and decided to give it a try. I am 40 years old and have struggled with hormonal acne for many years. I have been on BCP, which helped, but have recently stopped. I started having breakouts on the tops of my cheeks and forehead (which I never had before). I have tried over the counter products, but nothing was working. I had tried RAM in the past, but never was consistent with it. I have also used Clindamycin with good results, but did not want the $150 derm apt and $60 meds. After finding a code for free first month, I sent pictures (from my iphone) in for a derm to check out. She wrote back quickly and suggested a treatment of .018 tretinoin, 1%clindamycin, and 8% azalaic acid. I was skeptical since I had used tretinoin with a much higher percentage in the past, but she assured me the formula would work differently. I received it in about 4 days and began using each night. The breakouts were worse. They were able to be covered by makeup, and not as severe as most, but it was a lot to me. I contacted her one month into it, and she suggested a special soap and adding B6. I did, and still broke out more after the second month. The beginning of the third she suggested using every other night and added Spironolactone from the pharmacy (she called it in). Month four I am breaking out less, but still have a few spots on my cheeks. I will continue to use and see what long term benefits I receive. I pay $20 a month, which is less that I would pay with a prescription from a pharmacy. I know many people experience clearer skin quicker, but I have not. I am very pleased with the service from my PocketDerm derm, Nancy Satur, and would suggest anyone to give it a try (unless you can get better prices from your pharmacy and derm).
UPDATE: After several months and no improvement I went to see an in person derm. She told me that the 25mg spiro was not enough and that normally 100mg is prescribed for oilier acne prone skin. She also prescribed Minicycline, which caused debliltating dizziness then switched me to Bactrim 2x per day which stopped all side effects. She prescribed Epi Duo at night and after using this combo for 1 week my skin is mostly clear and I have not broken out during my cycle! I know that the antibiotics are NOT a long term "cure", so I am happy that the EpiDuo is working also. Unfortunately Pocket Derm did not work for my hormonal acne as I had hoped. My in person dermatologist did say it was a great formula though. She just added that I needed more spiro and an antibiotic to gain some ground on breakouts. Oh, I have hear some say that one needs a blood test for spiro--I did not. Maybe its my age (40).

Westminster police stopped 23 cars and made one arrest at a high-profile drug checkpoint in the Boulder-bound lanes of U.S. 36 on Tuesday night.
The cars were stopped for traffic violations between 7 p.m. and 12:30 a.m. near the Church Ranch Boulevard exit, Westminster police investigator Trevor Materasso said.
Of the 23 stopped, it's unclear how many were searched for drugs, but three traffic tickets were issued, and one man was arrested on suspicion of felony marijuana possession, Materasso said.
A person must possess at least 12 ounces of dried marijuana to be charged with a felony in Colorado, according to state statutes.
"I think it's a key public safety resource and tool to do drug interdiction," Materasso said. "The interstate and highway systems are recognized as conduits that allow large-scale (drug) trafficking through Westminster the Denver metro area."
Ari and Jennifer Armstrong were heading home to Westminster around 9:40 p.m. Tuesday when they saw the drug checkpoint and two civilian cars pulled over on the shoulder of the highway.
"They had orange cones flagged out for those cars," Jennifer Armstrong said in an email. "The trunks and doors were all open, so they were obviously doing a search."
She and her husband saw more cars being searched on Church Ranch Boulevard.
Mark Silverstein, legal director for the American Civil Liberties Union of Colorado, urges drivers to be aware of their civil rights during a traffic stop.
"One of the disappointing facts about the state of people's awareness of civil liberties is many, many, many people don't know they have the right to say 'no' to a search," he said. "If a cop stops you and says, 'Mind if I look in your trunk?' it's your choice."
A bill passed in 2011 makes it the legal obligation of a police officer to tell people they have the right to deny a voluntary search, Silverstein said.
Materasso said Westminster officers, about 12 of whom participated in the checkpoint, follow legal guidelines when performing vehicle searches.
"Initial contact is made through a lawful traffic contact for some identified violation, and the drug interdiction is based on additional probable cause that would indicate to officers that there would be some kind of narcotic in the vehicle," he said. "Officers are always allowed to ask for voluntary consent if the driver will allow the search, and the driver has the option to say 'no.'"
It was the second time a drug checkpoint has been enforced by the Westminster Police Department in the past year. The last one was in August 2011 on Interstate 25 near the 144th Avenue exit.

Editor's Summary
Closing her year as ASIS&T president, Diane Sonnenwald looks back with thanks to the many who volunteered time and effort as committee and task force chairs and members. Their accomplishments span promoting the discipline and advocating for information professionals, reaching beyond national boundaries through social media and meetings, and establishing an investment program to enhance finances. Committees also managed the awards process, expanded continuing education offerings and coordinated with ISO and NISO on standards. A name change will be voted on by the membership to recognize the associations international scope. Membership categories are under review, and organizational collaborations and conference partnerships are being examined, all to promote the discipline and the association.

Dear Colleagues,
Writing this Presidents Page in early October as my term winds down, I want to use the opportunity to revisit some of the activities we undertook during the past year and to highlight discussions by the ASIS&T Board of Directors. Subsequent activities by the Board and members will be covered in the Presidents Page of incoming president Andrew Dillon.
The Board met in August to review our finances and activities and to consider ways forward for our organization. ASIS&Ts finances continue to be strong under the leadership of Vicki Gregory, ASIS&T treasurer, and Dick Hill, our executive director. Task force and committee volunteers have been working on a variety of projects and deserve our thanks for donating their time and energy to make our organization successful. Their recent accomplishments are highlighted below. In looking to the future, the Board discussed ASIS&Ts name, membership categories and benefits, the Annual Meeting, partnering with other conferences and possible future collaborations with other organizations. Summaries of those discussions are provided below.
Task Force and Committee Activities
First of all, Id like to thank all committee and task force chairs and members for their efforts during the past year.
The Information Professionals Task Force, led by Sandy Hirsh, Prudence Dalrymple and Marcia Bates, is creating plans to strengthen our efforts to advocate for our discipline. Their plans include creating a first draft of a website to help market and advocate for information professionals.
The 75th Anniversary Task Force, led by Toni Carbo and Bob Williams, planned and then implemented an interesting pre-conference workshop and website celebrating our 75th anniversary. For those whose Annual Meeting plans changed with Superstorm Sandys arrival, you can read the interesting historical information on the website at www.asis.org/asist2012/historyofASIST.html.
The Publications Committee, chaired by Bob Allen and Neil Smalheiser, has worked this year with Melissa Weaver at ASIS&T headquarters to increase ASIS&Ts presence in social media, while the International Relations Committee, chaired by Mei-Mei Wu, is investigating the feasibility of holding an Annual Meeting outside North America. Thanks to all members who completed their recent survey.
The Budget and Finance Committee, led by treasurer Vicki Gregory, researched and established an investment program that was approved earlier by the Board. This program will enable ASIS&T to earn income from its cash reserves.
The Standards Committee, chaired by Mark Needleman, has continued to expertly review ISO and NISO standards and make recommendations regarding these standards on ASIS&Ts behalf.
The Awards & Honors Committee, chaired by Katharine McCain and Ann Prentice, expertly arranged the many awards review processes, while the Nominations Committee, chaired by Linda Smith, selected an excellent slate of candidates for the membership to consider.
The Leadership Committee, led by Iris Xie, worked to create the leadership workshop at the Annual Meeting and review the applications for the James M. Cretos Leadership award.
The Information Science Education Committee, led by Kathleen Burnett and June Abbas, and the Online Education Task Force, chaired by Diane Rasmussen Neal, supported interesting Webinar offerings and explored future online education opportunities for ASIS&T.
Donald Case, leading the Constitution and Bylaws Committee, and Steve Hardin, serving as Parliamentarian, kept us all well informed about our rules and regulations.
Thanks again to all who worked on the task force groups and committees. All members appreciate your willingness to serve and your contributions. Your efforts help other members and our discipline in countless ways.
Looking Toward the Future
Board Discussions in August
Vote Regarding Our Name. The Board voted to have a vote regarding our name, specifically, whether ASIS&T should become the ASsociation for Information Science & Technology instead of the American Society for Information Science & Technology. This issue was discussed in an earlier Bulletin (see www.asis.org/Bulletin/Apr-12/AprMay12_PresidentsPage.html) and in a Quicktopic discussion list (see www.quicktopic.com/47/H/bvJVhSC8HTs). All active members have received a ballot.
Exploring New Membership Categories and Benefits. The Board also discussed membership categories, and we will be exploring new forms of institutional memberships, initially focusing on what membership benefits might encourage information science educational programs/schools to join ASIS&T.
Improving Annual Meeting Processes. Previously, co-chairs of our Annual Meeting had to pay a registration fee in addition to working hard for over a year to organize the Annual Meeting. The Board voted to provide free registration to the co-chairs as a small token of our appreciation for their efforts.
The Board also established a subcommittee, consisting of Diane Neal, Katriina Byström and Andrew Dillon, to create an Annual Meeting guidelines document to assist future co-chairs and headquarter staff. No such documentation exists currently.
The Board further established a second subcommittee, consisting of Cassidy Sugimoto, Shelly Warwick and Dick Hill, to investigate how workshops at the Annual Meeting might better meet the needs of chapters and SIGs.
Partnering with Other Conferences. The Board has voted to partner with the Library 2.012 (www.library20.com/page/2-012-conference) and the International Symposium on Information Science (ISI2013). Last year the Library 2.011 Conference had 6800 people, who signed up from more than 150 countries. ISI2013 (www.isi2013.de) is the main conference for information science in German-language countries, attracting 200-300 participants. The Board voted to be a no-cost partner for each of these conferences. This type of partnering helps increase ASIS&Ts visibility in communities that overlap with our own with no financial obligation.
Possible Collaborations with ALISE and iSchools. The current and incoming presidents of ALISE, the iSchool Caucus and ASIS&T recently held a conference call to discuss possible collaborations among our organizations in the future. During the call we brainstormed regarding possible areas of collaboration, including advocacy for the information professions. We hope these discussions will continue.
In Conclusion, Thanks to All
Cassidy Sugimoto (IU) has again worked hard this year on behalf of ASIS&T, serving as Chapter Assembly Chair and member of the Board. Her term ends with the Annual Meeting in October. Other Board members whose terms end this year are Elaine Toms and Prudence Dalrymple. Thank you very much for your efforts.
I also wish to thank the Annual Meeting co-chairs, Crystal Fulton, ShanJu Chang and Julie Hersberger, as well as the many track co-chairs. Few who have not co-chaired a conference of this size realize just how much work is involved in planning a meeting that is not only enjoyable by all, but also inspiring to its audience through the various workshops, presentations, meetings and networking events.
My thanks also to all Board members, including Linda Smith, immediate past president, and Andrew Dillon, incoming president, and to ASIS&T staff. Its been a pleasure working with everyone this year, and I look forward to serving as immediate past president in the upcoming year.
Diane Sonnenwald was 2012 ASIS&T president. She is head of school and professor at the School of Information and Library Studies at University College Dublin and an adjunct professor in computer science at the University of North Carolina. Prior to joining academia she worked at Bellcore. The National Library of Medicine, National Institutes of Health, National Science Foundation and European Science Foundation, as well as private corporations and foundations, have funded her research. She can be reached at diane.sonnenwald<at>gmail.com>.

Taiwan's Civil Aeronautics Administration (CAA) and the Aviation Police Bureau both confirmed yesterday that they had received information on a potential terrorist attack at the Beijing Capital International Airport last week, adding that police were still verifying the authenticity of the report.
The information surfaced after the Malaysian Ministry of Transport confirmed that two people had boarded the vanished Malaysian Airlines flight MH370 with stolen European passports, leading some to suspect the plane's disappearance was linked to terrorists.
CAA Deputy Director-General Lee Wan-li (李萬里) said the agency was informed by China Airlines (CAL) on Tuesday last week that the airline received a telephone call alleging that there would be a bomb attack at the Beijing Airport.
The CAA relayed the information to National Security Bureau, Lee said.
Aviation Police Bureau Director Wang Lung (王隆) said that CAL said the caller was a man who claimed he belonged to an anti-terrorism organization in France.
"Speaking in French, at first, and later in Mandarin, with a Cantonese accent, the man said the East Turkestan Islamic Movement (ETIM) had planned to launch an attack at the Beijing Airport that would be similar to the one carried out at the Kunming Railway Station earlier this month," Wang said.
"He was trying to call the airport in Beijing, but the line seemed always busy. He called CAL instead, hoping the airline would help send the message. However, the airline did not write down his telephone number. We think the call should be from somewhere overseas and are still verifying the information. We have told the Public Security Bureau in China that they should be on alert," Wang added.
The ETIM is a Muslim separatist group founded by militant Uighurs, members of the ethnic majority in northwest China's Xinjiang Province. The group was accused by the Chinese authorities of instigating the massacre in Kunming on March 1, that killed 29 civilians and injured more than 150 others. Wang also said that the nation has yet to raise the terror alert level, which remains at "green," because the target of the alleged terrorist attack was not Taiwan.
Nevertheless, he said the bureau will not take any chances and will continue to investigate the matter.
This would mark the first time that the nation's Aviation Police received a tip on a terrorist attack, Wang said.
He added that the bureau had asked all its units to step up security measures at the nation's airports, particularly on flights heading to China.
Office of National Security Director Shih Tseng-kang (石增剛) also said the office instructed the National Police Agency to step up security measures at the nation's airports soon after it received the threat information from the CAA.
Meanwhile, Coast Guard Administration (CGA) Minister Wang Ginn-wang (王進旺) said Taiwan yesterday sent two coast guard vessels to assist in the search for the missing plane.
The vessels will be joined by ships from Taiwan's navy, Wang said, without specifying how many ships will contribute.
The Coast Guard vessels are expected to reach the search area more than 1,000 nautical miles (1,852km) away at about midday on Friday, Wang said before attending a legislative committee hearing.
Wang said CGA personnel will work with search-and-rescue teams from other countries, but he could not give an estimate of how long the Taiwanese patrol vessels will stay there.

wu-tang clan
In business: Raekwon's IceWater
- 2003-07-08 16:40:43
© The Wu-Tang Corp.
- 2003-07-08
[wimg=left]../images/news/03_07_09_raekwon1.jpg[/wimg]Where is a rapper to go after selling millions of records, both as a member of one of Hip Hop music's biggest groups and as a successful solo artist? If he were the typical rapper, he'd probably live in the high life until the glory and fame slowly faded away.
plans on doing no such thing. As one of the more popular members of the
Wu-Tang Clan
, Raekwon has seen it all. He's travelled on world tours several times over, has appeared in tons of videos and on television, and his group's franchised logo has been adorned on the apparel of fans around the globe. Where else can he go? How about going into business?
Rae has partnered with a few very eager and determined entrepreneurs to bring forth the newly formed IceWater Entertainment. Among his partners are
Matt Kahane
Chris Nagy
, the masterminds behind one of Hip Hop's most respected underground labels, Goodvibe Recordings. Other members of the team include partners in the independently run Spellbound Records,
Big E
Randy Spelling
, son of television mogul Aaron Spelling.
Each individual brings their own unique experiences and talents to the table to form what Big E describes as an exciting entertainment company that will have releases "in the areas of film, TV, books, clothing, DVDs and music." Big E (also known as Eric) reaffirms, "we have many big plans for this venture and we plan to revolutionize the industry while executing them."
[wimg=right]../images/news/03_07_09_raekwon2.jpg[/wimg]The company's first endeavour will be Raekwon's third, yet to be titled, highly anticipated solo release. Raekwon's clout as an artist, drew the attention of heavyweight company Universal Records to partner with IceWater for this album's release. According to Eric, they also have other development situations in the works with Universal. Regarding Raekwon's new album, which is due out in the early Fall, Eric states, "IceWater and Dino G. Delvaille (VP of A&R at Universal) are planning to make this record a modern day classic which will have features from all of his brothers from the Clan, along with many special surprise guests. We will also be releasing a few other incredible artists through IceWater, and Rae will most likely be executive producing those projects."
IceWater will draw its strength from that of its members. Raekwon will utilize his skills as both an artist and judge of talent in his new position as Chief Creative Officer. Although this official position may be a bit different than the one he is best known for, Hip Hop star, it won't be too much of a stretch since he has become well acclimated to the inner workings of record labels during the better part of the last decade.
[wimg=left]../images/news/03_07_09_raekwon3.jpg[/wimg]Matt Kahane and Chris Nagy have plenty of experience operating an independent music entity. Their Goodvibe Recordings label has garnered much success in the breaking of new artists and bringing to prominence established ones. With names such as
Slum Village
and Grammy nominated
, these music entrepreneurs are not lacking a knack for spotting talent or for running a successful music enterprise.
Nagy's experience as marketing manager with Goodvibe, as well as work he's done with Interscope, makes him an excellent choice as one of the main marketing strategists at IceWater. "We focused on getting to the key influencers first, through all sorts of non-traditional avenues and utilized their passion for progressive minded music to help us spread the word, person to person, for little or no money. Once that foundation was built, we used what little budgets we had, to invest in highly effective and efficient second phase marketing tools such as retail and lifestyle awareness campaigns, highly targeted local cable ads, touring, etc." says Nagy about the previous campaigns. As well, Kahane will bring his vast experience as the head of his label to the management team of this new multi-media company.
Like Kahane, Big E brings record label operating savvy attained from his endeavours with independently launched Vocab Records. E's partner in another entity, Spellbound Records, has a lifetime of experiences from living within the entertainment industry since birth. Randy grew up in show business; his father developed and produced many shows including "The Love Boat," "Charlie's Angels" and "Beverly Hills 90210." Besides growing up within it, professionally, Randy is no stranger to the industry; he has appeared as an actor in several TV shows, including NBC's "Malibu Shores" and "Sunset Beach." Regarding his knowledge of the industry, Randy explains, "growing up with a family in the entertainment industry, you quickly realize bullshit from reality. I've also learned how certain entertainment businesses work on a daily basis. I would always go in to my father's office and watch him work and run shows. When I was young, he would have seven or eight shows on the air at once. You can imagine how much there was for me to see." When asked, Randy states the best piece of advice his father has given him is, "If this is something you want, ALWAYS follow your dreams and NEVER give up. No matter how low things are, if you strive ahead, things will manifest." Great advice to motivate anyone, including future rap music moguls.
[wimg=right]../images/news/03_07_09_raekwon4.jpg[/wimg]The new partners became acquainted with each other during chance meetings as they made their way around the Los Angeles music scene. Kahane recalls their initial encounters and motivations to form IceWater, "we all agreed that shit needed to change, and we thought that we'd be perfect partners to make that change. Raekwon is one of the godfathers of this music and we're the young, hungry businessmen that want to put one of the best emcees right back on the top."
Besides Raekwon's pivotal role as executive, IceWater is also positioning him as the label's key artist. What better way to help him shine than to have him star in a motion picture? That's exactly what's going to happen. "The Coalition" is a film under production that will star Raekwon. Although this is not an IceWater production, the company will no doubt reap the rewards from the new dimension and further visibility it will bring for their star quarterback. The movie depicts corruption within the construction business and one man's struggle to bring down the system.
Bringing down the system may not necessarily be what the members of IceWater have in mind, however they are definitely on a mission to take a nice chunk out of it. So far it appears that they are making all the right moves. With Universal Records as a partner for the release of Raekwon's album and other projects that Randy describes as "top secret" in the wings, it appears that this fresh new company composed of eager young businessmen may be also to, as Kahane states, "change the game."

[Page 7]
Rabbi Chaim was an exceptional educator and a most erudite person; a mighty genius, and the wise man is valued more than the prophet; a man of deeds; an ingenious leader; a profound and brilliant thinker. Yet chiefly he was a pedagogue, a master at his profession. Rabbi Itsele resembled his father in many ways. He was a born leader brimming with wisdom, unique intelligence, and astute comprehension. He was also blessed with a golden heart, flowing with love for Jews far and near and with general concern for the entire community. He was prodigious and honest. He was not only the head of the yeshiva but also the leader of the entirety of the Diaspora. The Natziv had an iron will and a powerful character. He was a remarkable builder who established himself as a leader and the yeshiva as a prime Jewish center, with solid comprehensive ingenuity, with diligence, integrity, and devotion and love for the Torah, his people, and the Land.
Additional people shaped the totality of the yeshiva's image. Each one, from Volozhyn's great and famous down, contributed to her character and left his personal imprint at her gates: not only her leaders, but also the best of the students, the magnificent yeshiva boys who turned out to be the great sages of Israel. When they left the yeshiva, they left their imprint behind. Stories and facts, memories and traditions passed from mouth to mouth and were woven into the web of the great yeshiva. In addition, mysterious figures selected the yeshiva for residence. Many years later, stories circulated about the awesome and humble characters who passed by way of the yeshiva in silence, and the warmth of their breath hovered over and commingled with her ambience.
The yeshiva became the Torah center of the great Russian Jewry. She became a mighty power of Torah learning: of diligence, of love of Torah, of respect for Torah and for every good principle. From year to year the yeshiva grew; her frontiers expanded with students and more elevated learning. Thousands found protection in her shelter, drank from her sources, absorbed her spirit, and became intoxicated by her aroma. The Jewish lads, talented and strong-willed, scraped their feet walking from remote places to bask in the light of her Torah and to breath her scholarly atmosphere. There were brilliant prodigies and modest, yet diligent, students; virtuous souls clinging to the wings of the Divine Presence; broken spirits, suffering, skeptical of life; hidden tsadikim seeking the wonderful and educated scholars, cogently unearthed [?] all of these flowed toward the Volozhyn yeshiva. Here they looked for an outlet for their raw brilliant talent, a holy place for searching souls, for enervating grieved hearts, a mystical place for their yearning psyches and for clarification of their questions. There was a great concentration of the most outstanding people among this century's talents, wonderful and diligent disciples of Torah studying and laboring, a spirit of friendship, talent, and willpower. All of them joined in creating an extraordinary reality, a mighty workshop of spiritual richness and charming legends, captivating hearts and souls.
No man left Volozhyn empty-handed. Those who worked hard and laid the foundation departed with a great treasure. Volozhyn mended their image and strengthened whatever location they went to. Even the tired ones, those who did not find their way, did not leave empty-handed: they took the Volozhyn melody, which turned out to be their song of life. The light of Volozhyn's Torah illuminated their spirit. Far away, after many days and years, they remembered the yeshiva; her memory refreshed the soul and reinforced the heart.
The dignity of Torah increased and multiplied from the Volozhyn faculty and from the strength of their energy. It was accomplished due to the dozens of gaonim and hundreds of rabonim who illuminated the whole community by their dignity and the thousands of balabatim, the learned, outstanding scholars, erudite Talmudists, and virtuous persons with bright opinions, people carrying the Volozhyn Torah in their hearts and deriving their splendor from her. All of them expressed dignity. Above all, the core of the yeshiva's influence was the spreading of her essence far away from her borders and from the sphere of her disciples. The Volozhyn legend ascended above small burgs and large towns, above schools and yeshivas. She warmed and excited, encouraged and strengthened and many, many followed her method.
The first section gives an account of those outstanding figures who were either born in the city, connected with the Volozhin dynasty, or the select few who helped to maintain the Volozhin tradition. The main sections of the book are: the history of the Volozhin community, the Volozhin sages and scholars, and tales of the wise, who preserved the Volozhin tradition. These sections intend to develop a universal Jewish cultural source. The Volozhin sages and their disciples' deeds, teachings and casual conversations were insightful and educational. They had shaped not only the Volozhin community but also the entire Eastern European Jewry.
This book has been written not only for the Volozhin natives and its Yeshiva students but also for the tens of thousands for whom the Yeshiva influenced their way of life from afar. Rabbi Naftali Zvi Berlin wrote about this institution: The Volozhin Yeshiva is renowned from one end of the Jewish world to the other one. However, writing this book involved considerable difficulties. The enormous amount of materials forced us to make selections, to eliminate a great part of the material ,and to shape a version which would be comprehensible to those who are not familiar with the Talmud. We tried not to be excessively grave and dry; we preferred to stress poetic aspects. We had chosen to display the Agada (fable) rather than Halacha (law), because the Agada is nearer to the heart of the common reader.
Concepts in Judaism could be articulated in diverse styles; they could be expressed through a philosophical discipline or by scientific methodology. And it can also be explained by using literary techniques. Some ideas can be displayed in a drawing, other by pictures or symbols, yet another can be expressed by a fables or legends. Rabbi Yohanan told about Rabbi Meir: When Rabbi Meir expounded a Bible passage he would dedicate one third of his exposition to the laws it contained, another to the legends, and the last one to parables. He also remarked that Rabbi Meir knew three hundred Fox Fables. Which goes to show that Rabbi Meir made full use of the fabulist art to make the legal side easier and more palatable to his students and listeners.
We adopted Rabbi Meir's method. Tales, anecdotes and legend were used to lead us to our objective: To understand the words, deeds and thoughts of the Volozhin scholars. We were very careful, Heaven forbid, not to write too much or too little, and not to misrepresent an entire spiritual world. Therefore, we hope that anyone studying our account on the Eytz Hayim Yeshiva will find it all praiseworthy and inspiring. It applies to all that was written about the three patriarchs --Rabbi Hayim Volozhiner; his son Rabbi Isaak Reb Itsele; his son-in-law Harav Naftali Zvi Yehuda Hanaziv; as well as to the sages of this spiritual center. We have done the best to tell our tale in an easy and simple manner, expressing their principles in a more popular style than the one they used.
I have reason to hope that this method is the correct one. I sent the chapters dealing with the community and Yeshiva history to Dr. Nathaniel Katzburg, history lecturer at the Bar Ilan University, asking him to check and to verify facts and dates. In his letter dated 7th Tishri 5727, Dr. Katzburg wrote inter alia:
The work in general seems suited to its purpose to provide a succinct but comprehensive literary description, on the basis of the available sources and literary material, while introducing passages from sources and memories, from which the intelligent reader and, particularly the younger generation, can obtain a comprehensive picture of this magnificent chapter in the Jewish history and Torah study during recent generations. Anybody who wishes to know more and to study the subject more deeply need only refer to the bibliography which you append.
In writing the Volozhin Community History we met distinct types of impediments. We had almost no one to assist us. There were no writers, rabbis, or scholars who would aid us to investigate the history of the community. Here lived some of the most outstanding figures of Jewry. They wrote about Volozhin for more than a century. Yet they were dedicated almost entirely to the Yeshiva and paid scarcely any attention to the congregation. And while the material on the Yeshiva is more than plentiful, there is next to nothing on what to base the general history essay. This forced us to engage in considerable research.
These features could be found in the second part, which deals with the ordinary life in the Volozhin community. It covers a period of 42 years, from the beginning of the twentieth century until the Volozhin entire Kehila destruction in 1942. Here we describe the ordinary Jews, their sufferings and struggles for existence. Here we find the intense background of the common Volozhin Jews. The Yeshiva left its spiritual impression on the shtetl inhabitants. Hanaziv, meeting the Volozhin water carrier would jokingly say, And you shall draw water from the salvation springs. The Rabbi knew that the Volozhin regular natives were familiar with the Torah sources.
The principal Volozhin figures and the ordinary people suited each other. Peretz the Balegole (wagoner) in course of the journey used to test the Yeshiva students on various Talmud tractates. Rabbi Yohanan Rodkes, who would complete the entire Babylonian Talmud's study in cycles of nine months an almost incredible feat. Freydele di Rebttzn (the Rabbi's wife), who knew the entire Bible by heart. It seems that the unique Volozhin qualities were found not only in Rabbi Hayim, his successors and disciples but also in Reb Peretz the Balegole. He was a real prodigy, swimming at ease in the entirety of the Talmud literature. However, financial circumstances compelled him to make a living with his horse and wagon. He reminds us of Abba the Builder, who could find an answer to the Greek philosopher Avnimos of Gadara, which demanded more acumen than the town Rabies could deliver.
The correspondence between the two parts of the book also finds a statement in this style. Here too are plenty of stories, tales and anecdotes from the lives of simple folk. This freshens the text, brings the past to life, and helps to familiarize us with the community's daily existence.
Preparing this text we were guided by the epithet: multiple kinds of arts are good, except for those that are boring. We tried our best to avoid them.
Circumstances beyond our control compelled us to restrict our account to a few communal leaders and outstanding heads of households. We made every effort possible to obtain information that would enable us to extend the number of chronicles, but in many cases nothing could be done. Stories of other families have been forgotten and in many cases there is nobody left, to our knowledge, who could tell about them. And this we regret deeply.
We have tried to be brief where brevity was called for, in order to be more expansive wherever possible and also to increase the number of those whom we recalled. But we did not succeed. So those whom we were able to describe, let them be the representatives of the entire Volozhin community.
The book deals also with the destruction and eradication of the Volozhin Kehila. The Volozhin Jews were burnt to death. In their reminiscences the survivors have tried to describe those horrors. Yet all we had succeeded to get from them is no more than a drop in the ocean of suffering. What really happened was far more blood curdling than has been told here. Those who were not on the spot; those who never saw how the life dried up and died away in the ghetto; those who never heard their moans and groans from evening to morning and morning to evening; those who never saw their sufferings; those who never experienced life lived at the risk of death at any moment; those who did not go along with the doomed; those who never heard the shots and the cries of the fallen; those who never saw the bleeding and dead; those who never saw them being hurt to death those who never saw all of these things can never comprehend the depths of the tragedy.
The Volozhin Yizkor Book is not a graveyard or the mark of the last kindness. It sets out to record life, it sets out to be a source of pleasure, of inspiration and of physical exaltation. The words and thoughts of the Volozhin sages deserve to be drunk with thirst all the year around. The warmth they engender can warm us in all times. Let us stand in awe before their Torah! And let us dedicate ourselves to the study of their teachings, go back to it again and again, even though we cannot claim that we give it all. For anyone who studies the Torah according to the Volozhin method the whole world will have a meaning. His life will have a flavor of its own. It will raise him high above the drabness of life. Or, to quote the words in the Father's Chapter: When a man passes away he's not taking with him money, pearls or gold but only Torah and good deeds.
It is my pleasant duty to thank everyone who helped us to accomplish this holy task, by providing us with literary sources and material. Particularly I need toe mention Mr. Yehiel Lavie, the Ahad Haam Library Director, who did not spare toil in providing all the material that we required.
Similarly, we thank Mr. Moshe Ungerfeld, the Bet Bialik director, for his assistance in order to find all necessary sources for the Bialik in Volozhin chapter. I owe special thanks to the management and director of the Rambam library, Mr. Abraham Goldrat, and his staff. They provided me with familiar and unfamiliar sources to describe the Etz Hayim Yeshiva history. I am particularly grateful to them for supplying me with the photos of the Yeshiva students from the library's ample material. Finally, heartfelt thanks to my friend, Mr. Moshe Morgenstern, who provided me with much interesting material from his colorful and rich library.
Though helped by so many scholars and having done our best to ensure the accuracy of our work, we would be less than truthful if we claimed that the book is completely without errors. And may it be the Holy and Ancient One's will to allow us to atone for any faults due to error, and may we never do wrong for a vicious purpose. Forgive the errors created for Thy sake.
We submit this book to the public for consideration with our full knowledge of its deficiencies. We have tried to satisfy the demands of many people to whom the name Volozhin is very dear due to its historical, spiritual and scholarly associations. The members of this public will treat us as strictly as the subject calls for. Yet, we hope that we have succeeded in presenting the inner spirit and essence of Volozhin sufficiently well to gain the approval of them all.

The creek Volozhinka crossed the town from north to south. The stream's name probably became the town's name. It is also told that oxen flocks encamped here on their way from Minsk to Vilna. It is claimed that Vol is the origin of the name of the town Vol in Russian means Ox. The shtetl is situated 80 km from Minsk, and 112 km from Vilna. The Volozhinka stream pours out into the Islotsh River.
Jews settled there during the second half of the 16th century. 383 Jews lived there between 1764 and 1766, 590 in 1847, 1900 in 1893, and 2452 Jews lived there in 1897.
Fishl Shneurson describes its topographical shape: Volozhin, a small little town, dwells on the Minsk to Vilna way. It is surrounded on all sides by low mountains, which immerse some measure of importance to the town. It seems that the mountains summoned the town to superior actions. The shtetl is divided in two parts; the upper one is situated on the hilltop and is called Arooftsoo Up Hill. The second part is positioned in the Volozhinka Valley, and it's called Aroptsoo Down Hill.
The way from the Minsk Mount descends into the
Volozhinka streambed and then ascends to the town center.
The Yeshiva is seen among the buildings. (taken September 1998)
The Volozhin soil was excellent to raise cattle and horses and to cultivate flax. Those were the main products to sell at the bazaars that gathered 4 times each year at the town markets, one of them uphill at the Market Square in the town center, the second one down hill at the Horses Market on the right shore of the Volozhinka. At the end of the 18th century there existed in Volozhin a linen factory, which was built by R' Itskhak and inherited by his son Rabbi Hayim Der Volozhiner
The Volozhin estate, including its vicinity land including 81 villages and hamlets, passed into the possession of count Yoozef Tishkevitsh in 1803, the same year that Reb Hayim founded the Yeshiva.
Yoozef Tishkevitsh transformed Volozhin from a big hamlet to a little, but nice, town. He also assisted in building the Jewish academy. The relations between Reb Hayim and the count Yoozef, as between Reb Yitsele and Yoozef's son count Michael, were excellent. It's told that a beautiful portrait of Reb Yitsele was placed inside the Polish count's palace. The Volozhin born R' Khayim and R' Itsele used to speak Polish and Russian languages fluently.
The writer Fishl Shneurson wrote about the good relations between theVolozhin Rabbis and Counts. Three solid, high, white colored, beautiful buildings stood on the southern side of the Market Square in the Graph's estate. All of them were built by Graph Tishkevitsh in Belvedere style. A similar building stood on the Northern flank of the market, among Jewish shops. This house was built by the Graph for Rabbi Hayim.
The first Volozhin Community head was R' Itskhak, Rabbi Khayim's father. The Itskhakin family had settled in Volozhin in the 16th century, and were among the first Jews who settled there. R' Itskhak's spouse Rivka descended from the famous Rapoport family. She was the daughter of Rabbi Isroel Hakohen Rapoport.
The general opinion is that the uniqueness of Volozhin is due to the Eyts Hayim Yeshiva. Without the Yeshiva, Volozhin would be a shtetl like all the shtetls in the Lita-Yiddish-Land. The historical truth does not justify this version. The town of Volozhin possessed its particular advantages. The Eyts Khayim Yeshiva was built on sound foundations. It was formed by town-born scholars and leaders, and by outside-born prodigies who developed their ideas here.
Volozhin was renowned many years before the Yeshiva establishment. Mikha Yossef Berditshevski succeeded in defining it: Rabbi Eliyahoo the Vilna Gaon chose this little town because it was appreciated by most of the Lita Jews. There lived the prodigious Shaagass Arye, who created the model of literally simple Torah study; there was born the genial Reb Zalmele, who knew by heart the Pentateuch, the six books of the Mishna, the Rambam writings, the Zohar and many others. The Vilna Gaon knew also that the Volozhin congregation was managed by its talented Chairman, the elevated Rabbi Hayim Volozhiner, the son of the righteous Rabbi Itskhak.
Rabbi Khayim certified his father's behavior in his public functions: Our sages of Blessed Memory taught us that a community leader who is proud of his Kehila for God's name only will be blessed to have a son, a true scholar. It is known that public servers refer differently to different population layers, honoring the rich and strong, dishonoring the weak and poor. My father of blessed memory, the town head, was leading his community according to Torah commandments and the state laws. He was attentive to the needs of the little Balabatim and the poor inhabitants. He helped and honored them in every possible way. He was proud of his congregation but for God's name only. And God Almighty blessed him with a son, a prodigy, who would be appreciated even by our sages and ancient Talmudic interpreters. Such a Genius was my brother Zalmele.
[Page 35]
Rabbi Leyb, son of R' Asher Gintsburg, was born in Minsk in 1695. He was known as Shaagass Arye(The Lion Roar), from the name of the book written by him. He became head of the Minsk Yeshiva at the age of 38. Due to his hard character, he was obliged to leave Minsk.
R' Itskhak, the Volozhin congregation leader, invited the famous Shaagass Arye to serve as the Volozhin town Rabbi He came to Volozhin in 1750. He performed his services from 1750 until 1755 (5510 5515). The Shaagass Arye opened there a Great Yeshiva. He was called by the inhabitants Reb Leyb the Yeshiva Head.
He introduced his method of simple Torah study, and developed and spread it through his students.
The Volozhin congregation did not have enough resources to provide Talmud learning books. Those books were extremely expensive. Only the very rich who also loved Torah study were able to acquire them. Rabbi Itskhak, the Kehila head, at his wife Rivka's request, bought on one of his business journeys a complete edition of the Mishna. The demand to read them was great. R' Itskhak asked his spouse to manage the guarding and lending of the holy books. The first Hebrew library in Lita-Yiddish-Land was created. Rivka welcomed everyone who would come in her house to learn the books. Among them was also Shaagass Arye, who was not rich enough to own them himself. Rivka could not bear to see the honorable Rabbi crush his feet making the way to her home. She offered to send him the desired books every time he needed for his study or for teaching his students. Hashaagass Arye was thankful for it,and blessed Rivka to raise her sons to be great scholars. His benediction was fulfilled. Rivka's sons R' Hayim and R' Zakmele were his best students, and became prominent scholars.
Shaagass Arye gathered all his innovations in Torah and Talmud studies. He intended to print a book of it. But there were not any printing presses in Lita in those days. He left Volozhin after five years of service and went to Frankfurt on Oder to fulfill his intentions. In Frankfurt he and his wife spent their nights in a hostel for poor Jews. As accustomed, he studied loudly a chapter from Rambam by candlelight. The surrounding sleeping paupers woke up and cursed the sleep interrupter. Shaagass Arye extinguished the candle, got out from the dormitory and continued his study by the moonlight. With daybreak, when the hostel manager woke up, he saw an elderly Jew dancing joyfully outside and with him his wife. What is the cause of your happiness? he asked. The Shaagass Arye responded: A great miracle happened this night, and I'm thanking the Almighty for it. For many days I could not resolve a big problem in the Rambam book, and this night, God, bless his name, opened my eyes and I found the right answer, and this is the reason of our happiness.
After printing the book, he returned to Russia. He passed a year in Volozhin, left to Vilna, and then he went to Metz. Here he found rest and richness. At the age of 90 he passed away and was buried in Metz on July 3, 1785.

Washington: US President Donald Trump will host Iraqi Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi at the White House on Monday.
As he left Iraq for the US on Sunday, Abadi said Iraqi forces were close to ridding the country of the Islamic State (IS) and that he would talk to the US administration about the final steps needed, CNN reported. "We are in the last chapter, the final stages to eliminate IS militarily in Iraq," he said in a video statement.
Abadi said he hoped the US and other allies would continue to offer economic assistance to Iraq, which he said faced a financial crisis as a result of the war against the militant group. Trump last week announced a $54 billion increase in US defence spending.
If approved by the Congress, over $3 billion of the additional money would be allocated to the fight against the IS, including $2 billion for a flexible fund that would allow the Pentagon to decide how to utilise resources in support of the new counter-IS strategy.
Iraq was removed from the revised version of Trump's travel ban order, following intensive lobbying from Baghdad at the highest levels, a senior US official told CNN.
The pressure from the Iraq officials included a phone call between Trump and Abadi on February 10 and an in-person conversation between Abadi and Vice President Mike Pence in Munich, Germany, on February 18.

So, what now?
Hey guys, this is it. The end of the After Subtract. After 3+ years of making this comic, it's finally done. But I'm sure I left a post similar like this in the Author Comment so I don't need to say again how happy I am to be done haha.
Anyway, as the title suggests, what's next? Well, I've been getting constant questioning about whether I'd be doing Adding Zero right after this comic ended and I have to say, no, not yet. The reason being is that I'm not very happy with my spriting abilities so far. I've done okay with backgrounds and a few edits here and there but I want to do a lot more practice before I jump into Adding Zero.
That being said, I don't know when I'll start back up. I really want to create some better backgrounds for the place as well as do a few other sprites so it could take me a while. That's why The After Subtract ended like it did; it's an end to a comic, not a beginning to another. You'll hear from me when I do finally start it up, but for now, it's going to stay down. Don't worry, it won't be like a year or anything like that, I just need time.
Also, I've been meaning to finish my site a long time ago and we're very close to finishing soon. I'm going to be getting on the authors who are going to be on the site to help me finish it up very soon, I'm thinking in the next 2 weeks. I'll post up something when its up.
People have also been mentioning that I should update the cast page, and when I do so, I'll update that on my other website, of which you'll find that out soon enough. It'll have everyone from that one big picture in "The After Subtract Pt. 2" so look forward to that soon enough.
There's one other thing that I haven't done, and thats credit all of the people who helped me and all of the sprites I've used. I'll be sure to create a credits page and put it up, but it'll be in the extras section (or on a separate page) because I don't want to get you guys's hopes up like I'm updating or something.
I think that's all. If anyone wants to discuss anything with me, I'll still be checking the site quite frequently, at least twice a day, and I'm available for PM all of the time, so feel free to ask me things. Thanks guys, and thanks for the 3+ years of The After Subtract. :D
