Special Civil is a court of limited jurisdiction in which you may sue someone (the defendant) to collect an amount of money up to $15,000 that you believe is owed to you. The information below will explain how to file a complaint, a counterclaim, and an appeal, and provide a general overview of Small Claims in
New Jersey.
Special Civil is one of the three sections of the Superior Court's Special Civil Part. The other two sections are Landlord/Tenant and regular Small Claims. Special Civil is limited to cases in which the demand is $15,000 or less. If you believe you are entitled to more than $15,000, your cases should be filed in the Law Division of the Superior Court. (If you believe you are entitled to damages greater than $15,000 but still wish to sue in Special Civil , you give up your right to recover damages over $15,000. The additional money cannot be claimed later in a separate lawsuit.)
Following is a general list of claims the may be filed in Special Civil:
Please remember that if you believe you are entitled to damages greater than $15,000, but still wish to sue in Special Civil, you give up your right to recover damages over $15,000. The additional money cannot be claimed later in a separate lawsuit.
A complaint must be filed in the Office of the Special Civil Part of the county where at least one defendant lives or where the defendant business is located. If there is more than one defendant, the complaint can be filed in the county where any one of the defendants lives or is located. If none of the defendants lives or is located in
New Jersey, the complaint must be filed in the county where the cause of the complaint occurred.
To sue in Special Civil Part, a person must be 18 years of age or older. If the person suing is under the age of 18, the complaint must be filed by the parent or guardian. A plaintiff or defendant that is a corporation must be represented by an attorney when the claim is greater than $3,000. An officer, trustee, director, agent or employee of a corporation may present or defend against a claim of $3,000 or less.
A Special Civil complaint form is available from the Clerk of the Special Civil Part in the county in which the case will be filed. The Clerk's staff can tell you about the proper format for the complaint. The complaint can be filed through the mail or in person. When filing a complaint, you, as the plaintiff, must:
After you have filed a complaint, a trial date will not be set unless the defendant forwards an answer in writing along with the proper fees to the Clerk of the Special Civil Part within 20 (or 35) days from the date the complaint was served upon that defendant. [Defendants living or located outside
New Jersey have 35 days to respond to a complaint.] If the defendant responds in writing within 20 (or 35) days, a trial date will be scheduled. All parties will be notified by the court.
If the defendant does not respond within the 20 (or 35) days, the plaintiff may have a "judgment by default" entered. Through a judgment by default, the court decides the amount of money, if any, to be awarded to a plaintiff because the defendant did not come to court or respond to the complaint on time. If this occurs, you may be required to submit an affidavit and other documents verifying the amount of your claim. A hearing may be held court to allow you to prove your claim where the amount you claimed cannot be proved from your documents.
If the complaint is for money damages caused by a motor vehicle accident and the judgment requires a defendant to pay $500 or more, the defendant must pay within 60 days. If the defendant does not pay within the 60 days, the plaintiff may request through the Clerk of the Special Civil Part that the Division of Motor Vehicles stop the defendant's driving privleges until the judgment is paid.
The costs for filing a complaint in Special Civil are:
If you are poor, you may apply to the court to qualify as an indigent and your filing feres may be waived by the judge.
If you have been named as a defendant in a case, you must file a written answer to the complaint to the Clerk of the Special Civil Part in the county in which the complaint was filed within the number of days stated in the summons (20 days if you reside or are located in New Jersey; 35 days is you reside or are located out-of-state). You must also deliver a copy of the answer to the plaintiff or plaintiff's attorney personally or by mail. A sample answer is available from the Clerk's Office.
If you believe that the plaintiff owes you money, you must add a counterclaim to the answer. If you believe that someone else named as a defendant in the complaint owes the money, you must add a cross-claim against that defendant to the answer. Finally, if you believe that a party not named in the complaint owes the money, you must add a third-party complaint to the answer.
When filing an answer, be sure to give the following information:
The reason(s) you are disputing the plaintiff's claim. Include the amount of money for which you are suing if you are including a counterclaim, cross-claim or third-party complaint with your answer.
You also must sign the answer and pay the correct filing fees when filing the answer with the Clerk of the Special Civil Part.
If you do not respond to the complaint in writing within the number of days listed on the summons, a "judgment by default" may be entered against you. Through a judgment by default, the court decides the amount of money, if any, to be awarded to the plaintiff because you did not answer the complaint in time. If you have answered the complaint on time, the court will notify you by mail of the trial date.
The Rules of Court provide for an exchange of information by the parties. Whether you are the plaintiff or the defendant, questions from the opposing party, called "interrogatories," must be answered within 30 days.
If you are the plaintiff, you must prove your case. Arrange to have any witnesses and records you need to prove your case at the trial. A written statement, even if made under oath, cannot be used in court. Only actual testimony in court of what the witness(es) heard or saw will be allowed. Prepare your questions in advance.
Bring to court records of any transactions that may help you prove your case. Such records may include:
If you are able to settle the case with the defendant before the trial date, call the Special Civil Part Clerk's Office immediately.
You must come to court at the time and date shown on the trial notice. If you do not, a default judgment may be entered against you and you may have to pay the money the plaintiff says you owe.
If you are able to settle the case with the plaintiff before the trial date, call the Special Civil Part Clerk's Office immediately to confirm that the case was marked settled.
The plaintiff and the defendant must come to court at the time and date stated on the summons, unless otherwise notified by the court. Bring all witnesses and evidence needed to present you case.
On the day scheduled for trial, the court may help you settle your case through mediation by a trained mediator. The mediator will try to help the plaintiff and the defendant reach a satisfactory agreement. The mediator is not a judge. If a settlement cannot be reached, every effort will be made to have your case tried by the judge on the same day.
If you win your case, consult the Judgment Collection brochure on how to collect your judgment (brochure is available at the Special Civil Part Clerk's Office).
If you, as a plaintiff or a defendant, disagree with the court's decision, you may appeal the case to the Appellate Division of the Superior Court within 45 days from the date of judgment. You must file a Notice of Appeal, a copy of the Request for Transcript, and a Case Information Statement within 45 days with the Clerk of the Appellate Division located at the Richard J. Hughes Justice Complex, PO Box 006, Trenton, NJ
08625, and deliver copies to:
You must pay a filing fee of $175 with the Notice of Appeal and deposit $300 with the Clerk of the Appellate Division within 30 dyas of the Notice of Appeal. This deposit may be used to pay settlement or court costs if the appeal is lost. If the appeal is successful, the deposit will be refunded.
You also must obtain a transcript (a copy of the record of what happened in court) of the trial. The request for a transcript should be made to the Office of the Clerk of the Special Civil Part in the county in which the case was tried. You must deposit with the Clerk the estimated cost of the transcript (as determined by the court reporter, Clerk, or agency preparing it) or $300 for each day or part of a day of the trial. You must file three copies of the transcript with the Office of the Clerk of the Appellate Division. Questions concerning an appeal should be directed to the Office of the Clerk of the Appellate Division at (609) 292-4822, or to an attorney.
If you are the defendant, you should prepare your side of the case as the plaintiff prepared his or her case. Bring all necessary witnesses and documents to court with you on the scheduled trial date.

"navigating a holiday"
I booked this trip at the last minute as Trafalgar Tours cancelled on us 4 days before we left Australia. I was happy with the price and the dates fitted in the gap I had to fill. To be honest, I didnt expect much, not sure why, but had no great expectations. But I was pleasantly surprised. Firstly, checkin was really easy as we were one of the first ones there. The balcony room was nice and functional. Every thing we needed. All the staff we came across, were super friendly and efficient.( the wine waiter was still learning the ropes but thats O.K) I loved the covered promenade and prom. cafe. As we are huge consumers of tea and coffee, this facility ( all included) was a godsend.This cafe also filled in when we missed lunch or breakfast. This promenade area was great for evening strolls if you're not into the shows and bar scene. Loved the little theatre for movies. I was there every day. Loved the ice-skating, but it was only available the last 2 days? Would have loved a spa treatment, but the price was pretty high. Would have loved some time in the gym, but found the gym junkies and almost professional like zeal of other guests too intimidating. Some small points that were abit annoying. I would like to have been told which ports were right in the middle of the towns. I paid for excursions only to find the ship pull right into the middle of the city. I tried many times to talk to staff about this but the lines were prohibative.My remote for the TV did not work properly either. The food in the main dining room was very average. Nice but just average. The portions were smallish ( which is O.K) but mainly ungarnished. The menu was set out poorly and difficult to decifer and there wasnt much variety. I had the same thing 3 nights out of 7. room service food below average. The windjammer was the usual buffet fare. One of the excusions ( Treasures of Messina ) was appaling. What treasures? I enjoyed only one translation of all announcements ( italian). a MSC cruise that I had previously been on translated every announcement 6 times. Really tedious! I enjoyed the gay men in the adults only pool. What a laugh watching the people stare while these gentlemen frolicked. I enjoyed telling off an english woman who claimed I was on her deckchair. She was on another one and the one I sat on was totally empty. SHE MOVED. I enjoyed the cruise on the whole and would recommend it to everyone. Wouldnt want a smaller ship as there would have to be less variety of activities. Up grade the food abit and its pretty perfect.Read more

F*CK YOU, IOWA! I would've been 4 for 4 in the early games if these b*stards could simply hold onto a 17-point lead with 8 and a half minutes left. Dammit.
I graduated from a college in the Missouri Valley Conference. I loved seeing Wichita State and Bradley advance to the Sweet 16.
Looks like it was 1.5 million people, 3 million entries, and 4 correct down to this point.http://sports.espn.go.com/chat/sportsnation/story?id=2385599

Seniors Go For Gold at OCBC!
In conjunction with the 2008 Yonex/OCBC U.S. Open Grand Prix Championships, the 2008 Senior International Badminton Championships were held July 11-13 at the Orange County Badminton Club. Seventy-eight players from the USA, Canada, Germany, Pakistan, the Philippines, and Thailand did battle during the day while the U.S. Open matches were played in the evenings. The tournament is unique because players' ages are added to qualify for the various age group events. Besides the regular singles events, doubles events included 80MD to 130MD, 80WD, 90WD, 100WD, 130WD, and 80XD to 130XD. For the doubles and mixed events, partners' ages must add to the number of the event.
The Men's Singles events were hard-fought in every age group. Winners included Jochen Heumos from Germany in the 40MS; Renato Reyes from the Philippines over Geoff Stensland in the 45MS, 21-11, 21-14; Imre Bereknyei over Emilio Adarna of the Philippines in 50MS in a marathon final, 21-23, 21-15, 21-14; Zi Min Cai in 55MS; David Carton in 60MS; and Manuel Armendariz in the 70MS. Joy Kitzmiller defeated Mary Jo Randall of Canada in the only women's singles event, 40WS, 21-18, 21-14.
Spectators were enthralled with the men's doubles events, and all the tough play of the sparring teams. In 80MD, Jack Soong/Joseph Tok defeated Solaiman Jonatan/Geoff Stensland in the final match, 21-13, 21-18. Jonatan/Tok were victorious in the 90MD over Tahir Ishaq/Tariq Wadood, 16-21, 21-18, 21-18. You might recognize the name of Tariq Wadood-US National Champion in Men's Singles in 1987 and 1989, and Mixed Doubles in 1989 and 1991. It was great to see him on court again!
Zi Min Cai/Jonatan prevailed in the 100MD finals over Tok/Tac Vuong, and Tok/John Chan won the 110 MD over Ron Surya/Vuong. Chan teamed with Don Chew to win the 120MD over Vuong/Jonatan, 17-21, 21-10, 21-17. Murray Foubister/Dick Warnock were the victors in the 130MD round robin.
Cindy Briese/Joy Kitzmiller were victorious over Ann French Gonsalves/Mary Jo Randall in the 80WD, 21-18, 21-12. Gonsalves partnered Terry Lira to win the 90WD round robin. Sue Dommeyer/Randall took the 100WD over Briese/Judy Gray, 21-12, 21-18. Gray teamed with Karen Warnock to win the 130WD round robin.
In the mixed doubles events, Geoff Stensland/Kitzmiller won the 80XD round robin; Stensland/Gonsalves took the 90XD round robin; Imre Bereknyei/Mari Ikeda defeated Curt Dommeyer/Kitzmiller in the 100XD, 16-21, 21-16, 21-14; Canadians Ron Jordan/Mary Jo Randall won the 110XD round robin; Bob Cook/Sue Dommeyer prevailed in the 120XD round robin; and Bereknyei/Lee Calvert took home the gold in the 130XD round robin.
Congratulations to multiple title winners: Imre Bereknyei, 50MS, 100XD, and 130XD; John Chan, 110MD and 120MD; Ann Gonsalves, 90WD and 90XD; Solaiman Jonatan, 90MD and 100MD; Joy Kitzmiller, 40WS, 80WD, 80XD; Mary Jo Randall, 100WD and 110XD; Geoff Stensland, 80XD and 90XD; Joseph Tok, 80MD, 90MD, and 110MD; and Zi Min Cai, 55MS and 100MD.
Thanks to all the volunteers who helped with the tournament including Paisan Rangsikitpho, Don Chew, Kim Chew, Montri Chew, Gus Chew, the OCBC staff, Bob Cook, Dudley Chen, Dave Anderson, Ed Barnes, Dave Carton, Lee Calvert, Tim Mangkalakiri, Terry Lira, Dale Crawford, Elaine Kong, Ed Matanga, Peggy Savosik and Dan Cloppas of USA Badminton, and all the volunteers who served as umpires and linejudges. Thanks to Mari Ikeda, Senior Council chair, for her exciting ideas about the tournament and her participation in it!
Congratulations to all the winners, and thanks to all who participated in the tournament. Put the 2009 U.S. Open on your calendar, and come to play and enjoy watching the international players in both tournaments!

All About Peaches
With their large round pits, peaches are considered members of the stone fruit family, along with their relatives plums, nectarines and apricots. Hailing from China, this fantastic fruit is routinely used in aromatherapy to soothe pain and stress. The next time you're feeling anxious, reach for a buttery, rich peach and savor the flavor and aroma! And remember to mark you calendar: August 22 is National Eat a Peach Day.
How it's grown:
- There are over 1,000 unique peach varieties! Less than 200 are grown here in the United States.
- Each peach tree will produce fruit for about 12 years. As peach trees mature, they require less water to produce fruit.
- In terms of climate, ideal peach-growing conditions involve a chilling season (below 45° F but above 0° F) followed by a period of warmer weather. Yields are best when trees are in full sun.
- For a tree to produce fruit, 2-4 years of growth are required. From the time the flowers are pollinated, an additional 3-5 months are needed to produce a peach crop.
- Peaches are primarily hand-picked, and discretion is required to determine which peaches are ready for harvest and which require additional growing time. Texture will continue to improve after harvest, but a peach picked too early will remain tarter and less fragrant.
How to shop for it:
- Yellow and white flesh peaches peak from mid-May to September (U.S. grown) or December to February (Chile grown). Saturn peaches are also grown from May to August in the U.S.
- Color does not necessarily indicate ripeness. Rather, assess ripeness by applying firm pressure near the stem. The fruit should give slightly when ripe (but be careful not to bruise it).
- Fragrance can also indicate ripeness; check the aroma at the stem end. It should be sweet and fragrant if ripe.
How to store it:
- If you purchase peaches that are not yet ripe, they will continue to ripen at room temperature. To accelerate this process, store peaches in a paper bag with a banana and place out of direct sunlight. Or, simply store at room temperature for 2-4 days.
- For ripe fruit, refrigerate in the crisper drawer, unwashed and unwrapped.
How to prepare it:
- Depending on the variety, the flesh will either adhere to the pit (cling peaches) or will easily separate (freestone peaches).
- Washed, whole peaches make great snacks with zero prep. Just bite into it like an apple, being careful to avoid the stone.
- To prepare pitted halves, use a small paring knife to cut across the center of the fruit, making contact with the pit as you gently turn the peach. Twist to separate halves and remove the pit using a spoon.
- To quickly peel a peach, slice off a small piece of the bottom of the fruit, and then place in a pot of boiling water for 30 seconds. Transfer quickly to a bowl of ice water, then remove from the water and quickly peel the skin away from the fruit in strips.
How to eat it:
- Quickly prepare savory grilled peaches. Halve and pit the peach, brush the cut sides with canola oil and grill until marks are visible. Drizzle cut sides with honey and balsamic vinegar and enjoy!
- Peaches are a perfect addition to oatmeal. Have you ever tried overnight oatmeal? In a mason jar, combine ½ cup rolled oats, ½ cup almond milk, ½ cup diced peaches, 1 teaspoon honey, 1 teaspoon chia seeds and ¼ teaspoon cinnamon. Leave in the refrigerator overnight for a quick and nutritious breakfast.
- Make a quick frozen yogurt by combining 4 cups frozen sliced peaches, 3 tablespoons honey, ½ cup plain nonfat yogurt and 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice in a food processor. Pulse until smooth and serve!
- Try a unique take on grilled cheese by using thinly sliced peaches, white cheddar and a slice of prosciutto.
- Are you a fan of peach pie but want to cut down on calories? Toss old-fashioned oats with a small amount of canola oil, cinnamon and brown sugar and toast lightly on a baking sheet. Sprinkle this topping over a bowl of sliced fresh or canned peaches.
Nutritional highlights:
- Peaches are a good source of vitamins A and C, both important antioxidant nutrients.
- A large peach contains less than 70 calories and offers an impressive 3 grams of fiber per serving.
- Peaches are naturally gluten-free, low-sodium and contain no cholesterol or saturated fat.

Lee Rodgers' Taiwan diary: Green with pride
Most of these entries just kind of write themselves, they take on a life of their own and I can get them done in about 30 minutes without too much of a fuss. Not this one though. Fifth time I've started. It's 10:45pm and we have one day of the Tour de Taiwan left and I'm gonna need all the energy I can muster for tomorrow.
Suddenly, as a result of what happened today, stage 7 has taken on a whole new dimension. There's a storm a-brewin', ya see, and it's gonna get ugly…
But let's rewind a little, to stage 5. So, after the mammoth break on Stage 3 and the sufferfest on stage 5 when I managed 11th, nobody would have grumbled a jot had I chosen to sit in the peloton all day buffing my nails and debating whether it was better to pluck or shave and how far up exactly it was necessary to go, but no.
I go. Maybe 4km into the stage Abbas of Azad University (Iranian national champion) shoots out of the peloton like he's dropped a stinker and I suddenly find myself following. I shouldn't be too coy — there was in the back of my mind a thought of going for the stage's KOM point at 14km, but when I turned after having reached Abbas to see the KOM leader Feng Chung Kai (Action Cycling Team) chasing hard alone, I wondered if the move might have been more fool than hardy.
As it was, we stomped up the long drag to the KOM, stuffing a good 1 minute into the peloton, with Akai taking the full offering of points and me second. On the way down the hill our lead grew, and my brain began ticking.
'Abbas, where are you on the GC?' I asked.
'Way down.'
'Wanna go?'
Hmm. I go to Kai, who I know is only 30 seconds down on the GC.
'Hey, we wanna go for it. You?'
He says he wants to go easy. I ask him if he'll drop back, and he agrees, and it's on. Abbas is a heck of a rider, one of those powerful flat guys who churns a massive gear all day. We hit mostly head- and cross-winds but we were motoring up in the 50's for most of the first 70km.
There is a feeling you get after several weeks of racing. It's as if your inner thighs are literally made of titanium, light yet rock hard, a feeling of massed power that can lead to irresponsibility. Repeated stage-long breaks can result. But seriously, it's an awesome feeling and hard to sit on. Successful riders know that when the legs feel great they should do nothing all day til the finale. Others just splurge. I am one of The Others.
Yet I didn't sign on to be pack fodder all day. The road is the canvas, the wheels the brush, the will the ink, and though the finished result might be more a dog's dinner than the Last Supper, heck, better out than in, no?
There is so much that goes unseen in a bike race by those that aren't in it. In a soccer game, if I may ramble, the action takes place in one fixed area. Often the result is a stalemate and the game as a whole may be less than stellar. Yet there may be one pass, one touch, one deft flick that makes it all worthwhile, that defies the mundane, transcends the toil and illuminates the darkness we stumble about in most of our lives and touches us as a moment of art within sport.
A Magic Johnson pass. A Wayne Gretzky pirouette. A Zidane shimmy.
Well, within a bike race, though the winner is invariably heralded, there are other moments almost as, or indeed, as wonderful as seeing the victor cross the line, as seeing that pass, that pirouette, that shimmy. Much more difficult to see or capture on film, they nonetheless exist.
Take the desperately tired domestique heading back to the team car to be loaded up with 8 full bottles the moment an attack is launched, then weaving back through the cars to fight to the front to deliver his bounty with rarely a thanks in return. The guy in the last 20km who gets a puncture yet fights back on to get 80th but the same time as the winner, against the odds. Then there's the titanic struggle that goes on as the peloton turns into a strong head- or cross-wind and the pack lines out, every man for himself yet interconnected, dependent on each link in the chain to remain intact with the bunch, a battle of the will that can go on for 4km, 10 or 20, dependent on the road and the fury up front.
These guys don't win, but they feel, sometimes, like they did.
Now that's bike racing. And it's also art. It's the human self transcending adverse conditions, screaming its tiny, tinny voice into the blackness of the universe just to be heard. The canvas the road, the wheels the brush, the will the ink.
OK, where was I? So we are rolling along, Stage 5, I let Abbas take the 5 points for the Intermediate Sprint and I take 3. We get caught, finally, with 2km to go. Such is racing. We left it all on the road, no complaints.
Back at the hotel I check the classifications. I see I'm just ten down on the Points Classification. Now, a thought enters my head. Not being a sprinter of any note whatsoever, it seems impossible to even begin to covet Green. However… what if…? No! Madness!
But, what if I go on another kamikaze attack from the gun? What if I manage to get all ten points on offer for first at the sprint points and the leader — Akai — gets nothing? (Yes he had the lead in the KOM and Points. He is a heck of a rider.)
The race starts. Ali of Azad University takes off after about 500m. I follow. Anuar Manan (Champion Systems) comes too. I put in a big effort to drive us away. Slowly our lead grows. With 30 gone we have two minutes. I take max points at the first sprint, and at the second. Behind, my RTS teammates shut Akai out so he can't get the last point on offer.
10km to go we have 1.45 but we are all spent and the last 5km is uphill. We get swept up with 4 to go, but I am now equal on points with Akai. Matt Rendell grabs me to do an interview at the end. As we chat, my manager Daryoush comes over and says 'Congratulations!'
As a result of winning more of the sprints than Akai, I take Green. I hug Daryuoush. Others congratulate me and I'm overwhelmed with so many thoughts and feelings, but prime amongst them is pride. Not cockiness, not brashness, just a quiet sense of pride that all those hours of getting up at 5am before work, the seemingly endless suffering in Qatar and Oman, the exhaustion of Langkawi and the mad, long breaks of Stage 3, 5 and 6 have all paid off.
It is absolutely the best day of my cycling career. Now we have one day left, and Akai wants his jersey back. The guy in third wouldn't mind it either. We have over 120km of rolling hills and two sprint points on offer. It's gonna get messy and it's gonna be hard.
It is, I think, gonna be rather awesome whatever happens.
Thanks for reading.

Matty Neilson and Dave Andersen locked down Kirlilenko today which enabled Bogut to get some room to breathe in the paint and CJ was a beast on the fast break. Comfortably the best performance from us for a long long time.
Hopefully we can beat Lithuania and avoid the Americans in the quarters. C'mon Boomers get us a medal!

I'm told that it's a mitzvah to become intoxicated on Purim. This puzzles me, because to my understanding, it is not considered a good thing to become intoxicated, period.
One of the characteristics of the at-risk youth is their use of drugs, including alcohol. In my experience, getting drunk doesn't reveal secrets. It makes people act stupid and irresponsible, doing things they would never do if they were sober. Also, I know a lot about the horrible health effects of abusing alcohol, because I work at a research center that focuses on addiction and substance abuse.
Also, I am an alcoholic, which means that if I drink, very bad things happen. I have not had a drink in 22 years, and I have no intention of starting now. Surely there must be instances where a person is excused from the obligation to drink. I don't see how Judaism could ever promote the idea of getting drunk. It just doesn't seem right.
Putting aside for a moment all the spiritual and philosophical reasons for getting drunk on Purim, this remains an issue of common sense. Of course, teenagers should be warned of the dangers of acute alcohol ingestion. Of course, nobody should drink and drive. Of course, nobody should become so drunk to the point of negligence in performing mitzvot. And of course, a recovering alcoholic should not partake of alcohol on Purim.
Indeed, the Code of Jewish Law explicitly says that if one suspects the drinking may affect him negatively, then he should NOT drink.
Getting drunk on Purim is actually one of the most difficult mitzvot to do correctly. A person should only drink if it will lead to positive spiritual results - e.g. under the loosening affect of the alcohol, greater awareness will surface of the love for God and Torah found deep in the heart. (Perhaps if we were on a higher spiritual level, we wouldn't need to get drunk!)
Yet the Talmud still speaks of an obligation on Purim of "not knowing the difference between Blessed is Mordechai and Cursed is Haman." How then should a person who doesn't drink get the point of "not knowing"? Simple - just go to sleep! (Rama - OC 695:2)
All this applies to individuals. But the question remains - does drinking on Purim adversely affect the collective social health of the Jewish community?
The aversion to alcoholism is engrained into Jewish consciousness from a number of Biblical and Talmudic sources. There are the rebuking words of prophets - Isaiah 28:1, Hosea 3:1 with Rashi, and Amos 6:6, and the Zohar says that "The wicked stray after wine" (Midrash Ne'alam Parshat Vayera).
It is well known that the rate of alcoholism among Jews has historically been very low. Numerous medical, psychological and sociological studies have confirmed this. The connection between Judaism and sobriety is so evident, that the following conversation is reported by Lawrence Kelemen in "Permission to Receive":
When Dr. Mark Keller, editor of the Quarterly Journal of Studies on Alcohol, commented that "practically all Jews do drink, and yet all the world knows that Jews hardly ever become alcoholics," his colleague, Dr. Howard Haggard, director of Yale's Laboratory of Applied Physiology, jokingly proposed converting alcoholics to the Jewish religion in order to immerse them in a culture with healthy attitudes toward drinking!
Perhaps we could suggest that it is precisely because of the use of alcohol in traditional ceremonies (Kiddush, Bris, Purim, etc.), that Jews experience such low rates of alcoholism. This ceremonial usage may actually act like an inoculation - i.e. injecting a safe amount that keeps the disease away.
Of course, as we said earlier, all this needs to be monitored with good common sense. Yet in my personal experience - having been in the company of Torah scholars who were totally drunk on Purim - they acted with extreme gentleness and joy. Amid the Jewish songs and beautiful words of Torah, every year the event is, for me, very special.
So whether you're drinking tea or Jack Daniels - here's wishing you a happy Purim!

Around the Pac-12: OSU Beavers coming out of financial hole
The Denver Post's John Henderson is visiting each Pac-12 town before Colorado joins the conference next season. Follow his travels here.
CORVALLIS, Ore. — How far down has Oregon State been? When athletic director Bob De Carolis came aboard as an associate athletic director in 1998, he was told in the interview process that the athletic department was $6 million in the hole.
"On my third day on the job, $6 million became $10 million," De Carolis said. "In the third month, it became $12.5 million."
They had 27 straight years without a winning football season and sold only 17,000 season football tickets. Enrollment was 13,000.
Since Mike Riley started his second coaching stint in 1997, they've gone 6-3 in bowls and enrollment has shot up to 25,000.

SALEM, Ore. – Deputies say a 20-year-old Oregon man was preparing to heat his enchilada lunch in a 350-degree oven, but when his grandmother's dog nipped him, the animal went in instead.
Kevin Dean Parrish of Lyons, southeast of Salem, was arraigned Tuesday on a charge of first-degree aggravated animal abuse, Marion County sheriff's spokesman Don Thomson said.
Parrish's bail was increased to $100,000, from $10,000. His next court appearance is scheduled Jan. 30.
The dog, a Chihuahua-miniature pincher mix named Kudo, was cut and bruised, his hair was singed and three of his legs were burned, Thomson said.
The 6-year-old dog had difficulty standing but was expected to pull through.
Parrish had been caring for the 9-pound animal while his grandmother was out of state.
According to a police report, Parrish told deputies he was about to put lunch into the oven on Friday when he stopped to check on the dog. When he reached into a kennel, he said the dog bit him on the hand.
Thomson said Parrish, who told investigators he had "anger issues," punched the dog in the head several times and tried to strangle it.
Remembering that the oven was hot, Parrish put the dog in, Thomson said.
Parrish said he pulled Kudo out after several minutes when he heard his brother coming into the house, the report stated.
Parrish's brother and father took the animal to a veterinarian.
"As far as I know, he should make a full recovery," said Dr. Keri Sanders, who treated Kudo.

Step 1: Melt the wax to pour into the grooves in the frame to hold the starter strips. I bought a crummy double boiler at a junk store in the mountains to use for melting wax. These are cappings left over from last year. As the double boiler heated up, the whole kitchen began to smell like that wonderful honey/bee/wax smell that you can smell by the hives in the hot summer.
Step 2: While the wax was melting I went to my sewing room to cut the foundation into starter strips. My quilting equipment came in handy. I used a rotary cutter blade that I use to cut paper and my quilting ruler and the green cutting board and quite easily and quickly cut the SC foundation into 3/4 inch strips.
Step 3: Fill the groove in the frame with melted wax to hold the starter strip in place. My wax fastener from Dadant hasn't arrived yet so I was up the creek without a paddle (or in this case, a wax tube fastener) and had no way to pour the wax accurately into the frames. On Beemaster, recommendations included using a straw, a bent spoon, a meat injector for grilling. I didn't have a straw, couldn't bend an old spoon without a vise, and didn't have a meat injector - just a turkey baster and it was too big. Then I noticed a small bread pan on my kitchen counter - PERFECT! I dipped it into the double boiler of melted wax and got about a tablespoon. Then I poured the wax gently into the groove and set the starter strips in place.
Step 4: Leave the starter strips to cool in the frames until ready to install in the hives. I actually have a break tomorrow for about 1 1/2 hours in the middle of the day - just enough time to hurry home, put on my bee stuff, and install the nucs into the hives. I can finish making starter strips for the medium box and to put in Bermuda on another day after my wax fastener comes.
Note: The question was asked in a comment - why starter strips? I am trying to get my bees to make natural cells rather than what we request that they make by supplying a preprinted foundation. Bees on commercial foundation build cells that are 5.9 mm. Some beekeepers think that bees naturally build smaller cells - more like 4.9 mm. Dadant now carries small cell wax foundation.
A bee maturing in a small cell matures faster than a larger bee. This supposedly gives the Varroa mite less time in the cell with the bee so the mite cannot mature. Thus less Varroa in the hive.
I am using strips rather than full sheets of foundation because of Michael Bush's approach. The question of is it more work for the bees is answered by Michael in this way:
Doesn't it take longer for them to draw their own combs?
I have not found this to be true. In my observation (and others who have tried it), they seem to draw plastic with the most hesitation, wax with a little less hesitation and their own comb with the most enthusiasm. In my observation, and some others including Jay Smith, the queen also prefers to lay in it."
Some of the beekeepers I most respect are proponents of this, so I am following their lead. Michael Bush (my beekeeping hero) has lots of information on his site about natural cell size.
He typically uses foundationless frames.
A major proponent of small cell is Dee Lusby. She and her late husband Ed have done considerable work in this area.

Janel Parrish may stick to neutral basics when it comes to her day-to-day wardrobe, but step into her shoe closet and it's easy to see that the Pretty Little Liars star's footwear philosophy is that more is more. "I love shoes! I have a serious shoe problem," the actress admits to Us Weekly of her mounting shoe collection, which currently numbers between 35-40 pairs from designers including L.A.M.B. and Brian Atwood. "I wear only, like, six of them . . . but I like having the option of knowing I can wear it them if I want."
PHOTOS: Celebs' best red carpet looks
Working with stylist Reichelle Palo to create her "funky chic" daytime and red carpet looks, Parrish — who plays Mona on the ABC Family series — explains that she sticks to a neutral color palette to let her shoes spice up an outfit. "I have a lot of black boots, and I love stilettos because I'm 5'2 so I practically live in heels," the petite Hawaiian-born star, 24, explains. "I love to wear little black dresses with hot pink shoes or emerald green shoes just to mix it up a bit."
One of the most coveted, well-worn pairs of shoes in her closet are Parrish's suede Steve Madden calf-length wedge boots. "I can wear them with anything and they look good," says Parrish, who looks to Lea Michele and Blake Lively for style inspiration.
As extensive as her current collection is, the PLL actress continues to lust after one luxe label. "I still don't have a pair of Christian Louboutin's, so that's my next [purchase]!" she tells Us.

Here in Australia, I'm lucky to be in an area where I hardly know any Christians, all my family and friends are atheists, so to sort out who my real friends are, I'd have to become a born again Christian and then see who accepts me.

Kansas program beefs up seniors' diet -- and the economy
- Steers raised by 4Hers auctioned and beef is distributed to senior centers
- Freezers to store meat purchased at local appliance store
- Money from auctions helps pay college tuitions
HOLTON, KAN. -- The supper buffet line at a senior citizens apartment building includes potato salad, baked beans and the main event: a big pot of barbecued beef.
The journey of that beef from farm to table is the tale of an idea that has blossomed into a program that helps seniors, puts money into 4-H club members' college funds and boosts the local economy.
Beef for Seniors was begun by Tom Bishop, executive director of Homestead Affordable Housing, a non-profit group based here that builds and operates senior citizen housing projects.
Here's how it works: Banks and community members donate money that's used to bid on steers raised by area 4-H club members and auctioned after the county fair. Many youngsters save profits from the auctions of their livestock in college funds.
The meat is distributed to nine senior citizen apartment buildings and shared with residents without cost. Freezers to store the meat were purchased from Jayhawk TV & Appliances, funneling more money into the local economy.
Owner Brice Shaw says the program is good for his business and the entire community.
"There's a lot of people in need. People look after each other here. There's also a lot of giving," he says.
"We didn't do this because we had to do this," Bishop says, but it made sense as a way to benefit so many people in the communities Homestead serves.
"Every day," he says, "folks have the opportunity to do something for somebody else."
Beef for Seniors distributed 3,146 pounds of meat in 2010, its first year, 5,752 pounds in 2011 and 7,208 pounds last year.
Cara Robinson, a 4-H program manager, says the program has become increasingly important to farm families as it expands. "Buyers are tough to come by in this economy," she says.
Denison State Bank, which donates $4,000 to the program each year, considers it great advertising, says executive vice president Mike Day, a former 4-Her. "It's a great cause," he says.
The steer Karlie Albright, 8, sold at last year's fair auction was purchased by Beef for Seniors.
She didn't know where it ended up until she joined senior citizens here for that barbecued beef. When she saw how much they enjoyed it, she says, "I felt happy for them."
Her sister Emily, 11, also shows steers at the fair and puts them up for auction.
"I just like giving" to senior citizens, she says. "It's nice when they're happy."
Their dad, Scott Albright, finds it gratifying, too. "Very rarely do we know where our beef goes" after it's sold and slaughtered, he says.
Wanola Buss, 87, who lives in the senior housing here, says it's great to have the meat available for the monthly group dinners. She says her favorite recipe is "minute steaks, browned and simmered in mushroom soup."
Bishop hopes other communities will adopt Beef for Seniors.
"There's need everywhere," he says.

With so many candidates moving in and out of frontrunner status in the Republican nomination race in the past months, it would appear that the winner of the game of musical chairs could simply be determined by when the music stops. And it stops on January 3, when the Iowa caucuses meet.
Whether or not there has been a method to the madness, with less than a month to go, it would appear that Newt Gingrich has a commanding advantage to take the seat. New polls show Gingrich overtaking frontrunner Mitt Romney in the key states of Iowa, South Carolina, and Florida. Assuming Romney takes New Hampshire, Gingrich looks set to take three of the first four contests. He would then look like a formidable frontrunner by the end of January.
Whether or not Gingrich will hold on to his lead will turn on whether and how much Democrats and the press decide to publicize his history of ethics violations and his prior experience as an alleged lobbyist. It will also depend on the effect of Gingrich's rather hasty acceptance of Donald Trump's invitation to host a debate for the Republican candidates, most of whom have wisely declined. Finally, Gingrich's fate rests on how soon the supporters of Ron Paul, Rick Perry, and Michelle Bachmann join the Gingerich bandwagon. The longer the second-tier candidates stay on the campaign trail, the more likely Romney would be able to use his own considerable resources to fight on by a war of financial attrition.
It appears that the DNC ad on Mitt v. Mitt, timed to coincide with the implosion of the Herman Cain campaign, could be working. Meanwhile, a story just broke that electronic records of Romney's gubernatorial administrations were deleted when he left office. Coordinated by the White House or not, David Plouffe must be delirious with the possibility of a Gingrich nomination, but he's probably taking no chances. In Kansas this Tuesday, President Obama delivered his inaugural 2012 campaign speech, making clear that he anticipates that the central issue of the upcoming election to be the debate about the role and size of government. Why give this speech now? Perhaps because the White House hopes that Republicans who cannot forgive Mitt Romney for "Obamaneycare" will place their hopes on Gingrich.
And if that happens, Obama would be feeling a whole lot more secure about his seat at the Oval Office through 2016.

I have a document with VBA controls in it that I created in MS Word 2003. After migrating to MS Word 2007, I get the message that "Can't exit design mode because control 'lblEmaillist' can not be created".
After reading through the various forums here and on microsoft.com it seems to be a known problem. I looked at these articles but am still having a bit of trouble...
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/212559 refers to the same problem in word 2000 but after following the directions I still am getting the problem.
The problem does not occur when I open the document in MS Word 2007 or MS Word 2003. The problem only occurs when I open click on the link from IE.
I've set up the location as a trusted location in Office 2007 settings so that should not be an issue.
The document in question is being saved in the word 97-2003 format due to the fact that some people here have not upgraded to office 2007. I tried saving it as a .docm for office 2007 but the error message still came up.
Does anyone have any suggestions?

(CNN) -- A 4-pound Chihuahua is lucky to be alive after an owl swooped down and tried to snatch it during a neighborhood walk.
The dog, Chico, and owner George Kalomiris were taking a late-night stroll in their Chicago suburb of Crystal Lake, Illinois, when a great horned owl attacked.
Kalomiris said he lunged at the owl, which got caught in the dog's leash, and ultimately was able to scare it away.
Chico's vest saved him because it prevented the owl's talons from digging in deeply enough to latch onto him, according to Kalomiris.
Chico was treated for a puncture wound at a nearby animal hospital, Kalomiris said

There are those marriages where it's hard to wonder how one partner operates without the other because both partners make the other one better. Perhaps one of the greatest comedic married couples in the last century was George Burns & Gracie Allen. One would setup the joke and the other would knock it out of the park, with George usually doing the setting and Gracie doing the knocking. Burns had a long career afterwards, but as he said himself "First you have to have a talent. You have to develop this talent. Then you have to marry her like I did!" Well, not all marriages are that successful.
There were a lot of good pranks listed in our Best Car Prank QOTD, but one answer from PatFromGundo tops them all:
A few years back, I purchased a flagging Detroit automaker and told the world it was a "marriage of equals."
Genius! Is that you Dr. Z?. If it is, then yeah, we all got totally punked.

Police investigate 2 robberies in Glen Burnie
Armed men rob 7-Eleven store
Anne Arundel County police said they are investigating two separate Glen Burnie robberies.
Officers were called to the 6600 block of Ritchie Highway in Glen Burnie for a report of an attempted robbery around 5:30 a.m. Sunday.
A 39-year-old man told police he was walking to his car when two people approached him and ordered him to hand over his keys. The victim subsequently fled towards Ordnance Road and the robbers pursued him, knocked him to the ground and punched him several times.
Police said the suspects, described as two black men wearing white masks, were not able to get any property from the victim and fled the scene on foot towards the Heritage Hill area. The victim was not injured during the assault.
In a separate incident, officers were called to the 7100 block of Ritchie Highway in Glen Burnie around 3:15 a.m. Monday for a reported armed robbery at a 7-Eleven store.
Store employees told police two men came into the store and demanded money and cigarettes, and one suspect was armed with a handgun during the incident.
The employees complied with the demands and the suspects fled the scene in an unknown direction, police said.
Police said they were unable to locate the robbers who were described as two black men wearing masks.

Maple Leafs score 3 in third period, beat Canucks
TORONTO (AP) Phil Kessel had the winning goal after nearly fighting a familiar foe.
Kessel scored the second of three straight goals for Toronto in the third period and the Maple Leafs rallied to beat the Vancouver Canucks 3-1 on Saturday night.
The U.S. Olympian assisted on the Maple Leafs' third goal and almost had his first Gordie Howe hat trick - a goal, an assist and a fight - when he and pesky Alexandre Burrows scuffled and just about dropped the gloves late in the second period. Kessel and Burrows did fight Nov. 2 in Vancouver.
The two each got roughing minors Saturday, with Burrows getting an additional minor for high-sticking.
''(Kessel) wasn't too thrilled about all that and neither was anyone on the bench,'' linemate James van Riemsdyk said. ''Maybe you can look at that as something that got Phil a little bit excited.''
At the time of the fracas, the Canucks were clinging to a 1-0 lead on Ryan Kesler's late in the first.
That all changed in the third period, when the Leafs broke out with three goals in a 4:42 span.
''It was a one-goal hockey game and here we had an opportunity to pull a hockey game out of the fire by scoring one goal and giving ourselves a chance,'' Leafs coach Randy Carlyle said. ''We have a break coming, and it would make everybody feel a lot better about themselves with a win here versus a loss.''
The win was Toronto's 11th in the past 14 games and its seventh straight at home.
''About six games ago, we really focused in on playing well going into the break,'' captain Dion Phaneuf said. ''We feel we've done that. We've gotten some big wins. We wanted to get as many points as we could going into the break and we did that.''
The Canucks lost their seventh straight game and their 16th in their past 20.
''We've dug ourselves a pretty big hole here, but we need to look at it as a challenge when we get back,'' Canucks coach John Tortorella said. ''I do believe we'll be healthier to fight our way through it. We're not dead and gone. We've allowed a lot of teams to get back in and pass us, as far the playoffs are concerned. But we still have enough games to crawl back in.''
Kessel has 31 goals this season. Mason Raymond and van Riemsdyk also scored for Toronto, and Jonathan Bernier made 23 saves.
Roberto Luongo stopped 30 shots for Vancouver.
NOTES: Leafs center Jay McClement didn't return after sustaining an upper-body injury when he fell awkwardly into the end boards early in the second period. ... The game was a rare 6 p.m. start for a Toronto home game on Saturday.

|Geocaching Bison Tubes
Many geocachers know that geocache maintenance is extremely important when it comes to the continual fun and overall satisfaction of the geocaching experience.
Why you may ask?
Debate-ably if a geocache owner takes responsibility for their geocache hides and checks on them on a regular basis then this can improve the chances that a geocache is in the best condition possible. For example, bison tubes. Those crafty micro geocaches have been a staple and bane of geocachers for many years. The biggest complaint is usually a soggy log book and we know what the main cause is. Bad o-rings.
|Bison Tube O-Rings
The one part of a bison tube that requires maintenance is the o-ring which helps seal the cap from the body. Because of age and the influence of the outside elements, the o-rings become brittle and fail. This then allows a better chance for moisture to enter and play havoc on the log.
So it is highly recommended as part of your geocaching maintenance to check and if necessary replace the bison tube o-rings. This will help in avoiding a log book of goo and keep our fellow geocachers happy.
By the way this is a random website I found that sells bison tube o-ring replacements:
