Good seeing ya. We ended with 8 big copperhead gills, 3 shellcrackers and a catfish making making the ride home. We headed out about 9:30. Lots of algae everywhere we went. Couldnt buy a bite anywhere there was algae.
So off I went to my usual stomping grounds. I havent kept any fish in months and Ive been hearing a bluegill sammich calling my name. After the noseeums tied to eat me alive last week I was in no hurry to start early for a repeat performance of that. In about 7 and out about 11, just ahead of the promised rain. Almost one now and the rain just got here,but the timing was good anyway. Boats put away, fish filleted, lunch made and eaten. All I need now is a nap. About 15 bluegills over 8 and a couple of crappie and a little bass on the fly rod. Mike and Sylvia stopped by to say hello, good to see yall. Ran into another friend and made another. Just a real relaxed morning with almost no wind and just a few noseeums. The highlight of the morning came in the form of a catfish. I was pitching my tiny stuff on some Fireline Crystal in 3lb and made a good cast up underneath a tree into maybe a foot of water. One turn on the reel and got a thump and snapped the rod up to set the hook. The water exploded and I couldnt control what just broke water and headed south for open water. Thrashing like a bass a couple of times, but it was the wrong color. Drag slipping, back and forth, under the boat, this went on for a couple of minutes. Finally got him close, but he had other ideas and he left again. Got the net in one hand and he quit stripping so much line. Two or three tries I got him in the net, my new PB for my ultra light tackle at 5lb 12oz on the scale. Doubled up in the net it was an impressive sight. I dropped him over the side and immediately cussed myself for not taking a pic. Brought 6 good gills over 8 home for my sammich fix. Filleted and blackened and resting on a bed of mayo and toast, Im good for a while. Couple of pics of todays victims in a couple of different phases. Thanks for coming along, hope to see yall soon. Til the ........Skeet
Listen to your gut over all the other voices.

I knew what you meant. It did very well. I had a popper bug on it today and the fish were a little slow getting started. I did get a couple on it, one barely hand width in length. The gar started bothering and I switched off. The 3lb Fireline crystal didn't cast nearly as well as I had hoped. It would do well with a bit heavier jig. Maybe the 2lb variety will do better, this will probably go on a slip float rig I have.
Listen to your gut over all the other voices.
Glad to see you found a few Tim, with lunch provided ...& Mike & Sylvia seen water as well...my morning was spent filling a few bad spots in lawn w/sod, enough said...hey this stuff in pic is mangrove/no-see'em/mosquito, tested I'd swear by & surprisedly "deet-free"...$ 4.50 at Ollies warehouse....also a sunscreen
crappie down !huntinslabs, Redge LIKED above postskeetbum, Slimjim1, specktacklure thanked you for this post
Have to try that stuff^^^. is that the same stuff you let Sylvia use that morning last year at Swoop ramp? Surprised me when I cleaned them yesterday. All the gills were males, the Shellcrackers were all hens loaded with eggs and ready to pop, and the catfish was loaded with eggs. Gills and shellcrackers all came from the same area except 1.
crappie down !
nice morning on the water and a good time at the table as well. Thanks for sharing your trip with us.

50 Feet from Syria
50 Feet From Syria is a documentary that follows a Syrian-American surgeon, Dr. Hisham Bismar, on his journey to saving lives during the war zone. The Syrian Civil War has been waging for five years, and has only gotten worse as the years continue. The conflict originally began when civilians peacefully protested the government and the government responded with violence and torture of the civilians. Five years later, there are a multitude of different rebel groups fighting against the government, which has caused the country to be in a massive state of war. Many people have been forced to flee into surrounding countries or have made life-threatening trips to other places in Europe or America to be able to be safe. As of December 2016, there are 4,837,248 refugees from Syria alone. Thus, the Syrian Conflict has caused one of the biggest refugee crises in history. (Jazeera)
This is why Dr. Hisham Bismar wanted to help out his homeland in the best way he could. He flew to Turkey, where there was a hospital on the border of Turkey and Syria, with a bag of donated surgical equipment and hospital supplies. The documentary then shows the extreme situations the patients have been in and how the doctor is helping them live their lives with the best quality in this awful situation. 50 Feet from Syria shines a light on the bigger issues that people face in times of war, such as lack of access to healthcare, lack of a home and family, and the psychological effects of living in a war stricken area.
One of the aspects of war that this documentary explores is the vast amount of destruction of hospitals and thus a lack of access to health care for the victims of war. Even though it is considered a war crime according to the international humanitarian law, the Syrian government has deliberately been bombing hospitals and killing doctors. The government has even arrested many doctors. According to a volunteer of Hand In Hand for Syria, there are 500 doctors, nurses, and aid workers under arrest. Analysts have stated that the government is using this as a war tactic. Killing doctors results in not only their own life, but also lives of thousands others.2,3 The attacks on hospitals also "incite fear that seeking medical treatment or going to a hospital will result in death, injury, kidnapping, torture, or imprisonment, both for the patient and the medical provider" (Physicians for Human Rights). This causes hesitation in civilians to get treated or seen by a doctor. In areas that are besieged or have no health care access, infectious diseases are widespread due to lack of sanitation and immunizations. According to the article in the Annals of the American Thoracic Society, the result of the lack of doctors and healthcare can be seen in the statistic that "since 2012, the conflict has become the leading cause of death in Syria". There were also 6,000 physicians in Syria before the conflict, and not there are fewer than 70. The physicians that are left now resorted to "field hospitals" that are hidden, underground areas that do not have electricity or fuel. This creates an extreme hardship in the performance of surgeries as the physicians attempt to heal a patient in the dark, and most of the times without painkillers or the correct medicines.4 Many times they even have to perform amputations on people whose limbs could have been saved in different conditions. Bombings, shelling, and air strikes often result in people with limb injuries or missing limbs. Because of the lack of access to equipment, wheelchairs and other adaptive measures are hard to come by, which results in a bad quality life for these victims5 . This war tactic may be beneficial for the government, but it is an extreme humanitarian issue.
As seen in 50 Feet From Syria, this healthcare crisis is the main reason why Dr. Hisham Bismar decided to go to the border of Syria and Turkey, where the only legal hospital is located. The hospital sends a volunteer to pick up patients at the border and bring them back to the hospital, where Dr. Hisham Bismar and other doctors attend to their illnesses. The patients have sometimes risked everything in order to make it to the border to receive treatment from Al-Almal Hospital. Even though there are so many people with extreme cases, Dr. Hisham does not turn down anyone and works hard in order to treat each patient thoroughly. Even a few surgeries, such as amputations, are shown in the documentary via a surgeon's phone. The video shows the surgical rooms with floors covered with blood and a hectic team trying to save the patient. One patient one the video was a little boy who had to get both of his legs amputated. This view of the hospital environment was an authentic outlook on what occurs on a daily basis in war zones.
The documentary not only brings to light the social justice issue of lack of access to medicine during a war zone, but it also enhances psychological effects on everyone involved, especially children because their brain and coping skills are not fully developed. According to Prasad's research " more severe psychological reactions are associated with variables such as a higher degree of exposure (e.g., life threat, direct physical injury, witnessing a death or injury), closer proximity to the disaster, history of prior traumas, female gender, poor parental response and parental psychopathology." As seen in 50 Feet From Syria, most of the children have suffered injuries due to direct bombings or land mines. The violence in Syria has caused some children to watch their parents or siblings die. Because of this direct violence, it can be concluded that the children of the Syrian Civil War will suffer from more sever psychological reactions, such as acute distress, PTSD, dissociative disorders, or anxiety and substance abuse disorders.7 These disorders can be exhibited through sleep problems, flashbacks, inability to concentrate, panic attacks, or hypersensitivity. According to Purwar's work, "Elizur and Kaffman (1982, 1983) followed 25 children 2–10 years of age, 3.5 years after the death of their fathers in war, and found that over half demonstrated over dependent behavior, temper tantrums, and fears, and that 40% manifested pathological bereavement (i.e., symptomatology of such severity as to handicap the child in his everyday life in the family, school, and in his peer relationships)." Even the volunteer at the hospital in Turkey realized the psychological trauma on the children from the war as he states that it is hard to earn the children's trust. These children have seen some of the most intense violence and hatred and have learned to only rely on themselves. So, the doctors sometimes have a hard time treating the children because the children are so scared. While war does result in psychological trauma in adults, children are more at risk because they usually do not have the coping skills to process the violence around them.
50 Feet From Syria is powerful, thought evoking film that demonstrates the awful results of war, including lack of access to health care and long-term psychological trauma for adults and children. The film does an excellent job of exposing what the victims of the war go through, but it also inspires the viewers to take action by showing Dr. Hisham Bismar's work in Turkey.

Vacancy rates in Inner Brisbane are under pressure, as population increases and a shortage of new supply sees available properties dwindle, says leading property researcher Michael Matusik. Mr Matusik, director of Matusik Property Insights, said the tight vacancy rates could be attributed to a relative lack of new development in inner Brisbane, which is experiencing a resurgence in its popularity with new residents. "Inner Brisbane is attracting an average of around 5,000 new permanent residents per annum, and that is expected to continue over the next decade, whereas in the 1990s it was losing permanent residents," he said. "The change can be credited to a shift in demographics, with an increase in lone person households and couples without children in the precinct, who are looking for a lifestyle of convenience close to amenities and transport to the CBD."
Inner Brisbane suburbs Milton, Paddington and Rosalie are leading the charge, with figures from the Residential Tenancies Authority showing rent in these areas have risen by about 5.6 per cent over the past 24 months.
Mr Matusik said Milton was a prime example, where vacancy rates had plunged to just 0.7 per cent, with a vacancy rate under 3 per cent considered to be undersupplied. He said about two-thirds, or 62 per cent, of households in Milton were renting, which was representative of other inner city precincts. Mr Matusik said dwindling vacancy rates were not expected to improve in the short term, with the undersupply of new stock set to continue.
"For example, Milton has recorded the second highest population growth in Inner Brisbane at 4.4 per cent per annum over the past five years, just behind Kelvin Grove, which has led to its extremely low vacancy rate," Mr Matusik said. "It is part of the Inner West precinct, which is one of the most undersupplied markets in Brisbane.
"Just 10 per cent of the current supply of new apartments for sale in Inner Brisbane are located in the Inner West, with FKP's The Milton the only project currently selling off the plan."

Here is another prototype version of the Women of the World/Women of Hull Animation:
This animation is now now reaches it's own credits and the animation are all complete. Debra now finishes her performance and poses for the audience. The walking animation is now much longer and does a bit more helping draw in the target audience a lot more effectively. The phone now sits on a table while it rings. Norma Waterson's animation is based on Dirty Old Town and shows a town that was once clean get dirtier and dirtier. (My Tutor Janis did point out that maybe I should just show chimney's smog up the blue sky) to save not only time but also make the situation much more believable. Tracey Thorn's animation shows a sail blowing in the wind but this doesn't portray the connect to her or her song Plain Sailing very well so I will need to go back to this later on.

Aaron and the Think Big team are fantastic. We cannot recommend him highly enough!

Aaron is always great to deal with. Goes out of his way to make sure you get what you need. We have had him do work on 2 of our houses now and wouldnt change a thing. He also wired up a new shed I had built on the property ang again the work was top notch. Install was clean and the advice he gives on equipment is honest and reliable. If you need electrical work done be sure to contact Aaron.
Aaron is a professional. He is a great communicator and always answers his phone and text promptly. He has a great interest in providing you with the most appropriate solution for your situation not necessarily the easiest for him.
He promptly turned up for appointments and quickly performed the work involved.
We have used Aaron to install air-conditioning units, smoke alarms, lights and switches. He did a great job, quickly and efficiently and at a reasonable price and with very sensible advice re the installations. I strongly recommend him.
We sent Aaron out to our rental property to do a few odd jobs and to take measurements and install a new cooktop and rangehood. He was extremely helpful, thorough and went above and beyond the work he was required to do. Aaron spent time responding to our tenants' needs and even sent photos and suggestions on issues that were outside of his scope of work. We really appreciated Aaron's professionalism and wouldn't hesitate to recommend or use his services again.
These guys were awesome! We had Aaron and Dylan in our home yesterday to install and fix a few downlights and outdoor light, and install an airconditioner. They were very professional and tidy. We really appreciated Aaron's suggestion to place some drop sheets prior to prevent dust on furniture. When we first called, Aaron was available to come by the same day for a free quote, and and we were able to easily book in with them soon after. Aaron was also always very honest, gave some great advice regarding some other problems we had around the home, and was knowledgeable in so many areas. Communication was always clear and they provided us with exactly what we were after! Thank you!
I am a first home buyer, and because of friends' advices, I called Aaron to get an electrical inspection at my future home to be in the Heathwood suburb. Guess what, it was totally worth it, he was so thorough with everything, my equally as good building and pest inspectors missed things he didn't. And the other inspectors went to him for advices. In the end there was only minor issues really, but having Aaron to do an inspeciton, totally settled our worries. His price is super reasonable, and he gives plenty of advices. There's only one thing you need to do, give the man enough time, and let him do his job, he will get it done, and done well!

Spartucas is a big ship but so are these boys. And it was a helluva catch in the end too.
Leaving from the Viaduct Marina right in downtown Auckland was the kicker for these boys. Working in the area makes our location perfect for both arrival and for the after match drinks in the viaduct or in Wynyard Quarter if you prefer to recall stories about the one that got away over there.

I fixed the incorrect Dead run gauge, the one shown is the correct one.
This gauge is incorrect, but as Stephen pointed out, if you are even contemplating this run you will have to be there in the rain because it goes up and down so fast. Contrary to Four Mile run, I would suggest Difficult Run as a more appropriate gauge for all VA side Potomac creeks in the DC area; looking for exceptionally high water.
In my defense I haven't spent the time to figure out how to change the gauge listing sense I put it up incorrectly.
The river gauge reference is wrong. The Spout Run that has the gauge is not the Spout Run along Spout Run Parkway, but rather way out near WV. The only river gauge that is even marginally useful would be Fourmile Run. You'd want at least 1000 - 1500 cfs on that, but of course you normally would not have the time to wait to get that reading.
Mostly visual, minimum flows are around 50 cfs. It can be run as high as you can catch it. The run significantly changes in the higher flows, i.e. if it is close to or over its banks above the GW Parkway.
The gauge is for a nearby stream to give a rough idea if this one is running or not.
Permits are not required for this reach.

PUC votes on rates for 2018
Nov 24, 2017 06:16PM
By Editor
Grand Marais City Administrator Mike Roth made his recommendations to the Grand Marais public utility board for the city water, sewer and electrical rates for the coming year.
Roth proposed not to raise the city's electrical rates, a two percent hike in the Water Fund budget and five percent increase in the Sewer Fund budget.
Roth made his presentation to the PUC at the board's November 21 meeting.
"I recommend an increase of five percent in the sewer rates for 2018," said Roth, who cited multiple upcoming projects that needed funding: the public works facility, AMI meter upgrades, and the First Street area reconstruction as well as the Fifth Street reconstruction.
Also, noted Roth, the request by the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) to reduce the city's output of mercury in its wastewater treatment plant, "Is not sufficiently understood to set a good budget number. We should expect more information on this by the end of the year."
Between 2011-2013, there was no increase to the Sewer Fund. The last three years the city has levied two percent, four percent, and three percent per year for the fund.
Roth outlined his reasons for recommending a two percent raise in the Water Fund. "The increase insulates the fund from continued declining water sales, allows the Water Fund to cover system repair and improvements, and positions the fund to contribute to city priority projects."
With two to three percent increases in the Electric Fund over the last six years, it was a pleasant surprise for the PUC board to learn that Roth didn't see the need to increase electrical rates over the next year.
With Mike Taylor, who headed up the department, leaving to take a job elsewhere, and his replacement not sought at of this time, Roth said, "We are currently operating with a very different staff make-up than previous budgets were designed to fund."
Roth also said electrical usage "is tracking down or has leveled off. "This is what we saw with water usage in the 1980s when water consumption became an issue, and people started to use less water."
However, as people flipped a switch (off) on using electricity, Roth said that in the industry it isn't seen as a long-term trend.
For now, said Roth, he will oversee the department, and the city will operate with two linemen.
"After our new staffing arrangement is settled, we will look at adding either a supervisor or an apprentice to the department," said Roth.
PUC projects for the future include possible moving overhead power lines underground that are located along Highway 61 in conjunction with the 2019 MnDOT Highway 61 project, as well as replacing piping underground where needed and even some storm sewers if necessary.
Roth also said new electronic meters for water and electricity would be installed sometime in the next few years. With about 600 water meters and 1,200 electrical meters, the city will have to budget for these replacements.

Why some teams aren't aiming to win the LMES Super Final
Esports | June 13th, 2019
While the biggest share of the $100,000 prize pot and a place on the real-life podium awaits the winners, some teams competing in the Super Final for the Le Mans Esports Series don't have their eyes set on the biggest prize.
One of the unique elements of the LMES Super Final is the challenge given to the 12 three-driver teams of building their own 'fantasy garage' of cars on a set budget.
There are nine-races taking place over a 24-hour period prior to the real-life race, with seven different car categories in use, from modern prototypes to early 1960s Le Mans classics to Group C.
The first eight race winners will each earn $3,000, and the cumulative points earned from those races will set the grid and the time intervals for the final race, which boasts $25,000 of prize money for the winning trio.
Some teams have strategically chosen to target the prize money for those first eight races, putting their budget more in favour of the cars required for those earlier races rather than the modern GT machinery, that will be used for the final race.
In doing so, they give themselves a much greater chance of success in the earlier races, as the other teams, who are targeting the final race, will have to sacrifice a big portion of their budget on the fastest modern GT car, and thus the most expensive.
Tobin Leigh – driving for 'Keep it Simple Racing' – is one of the drivers employing this strategy alongside his teammates Paul Arevalo and Iori Ohki.
"With considering the fact that there will be stronger teams there. We're using the car choices to our advantage," Leigh told Motorsport.com.
"As a team, we don't have the raw pace as one of the teams that have put themselves together [wildcard entries and two teams who qualified via the LMES points ladder.]
"We're going for race wins."
The grid for races 2-8 is set by reversing the championship order, but Leigh believes this won't be enough to stop those with a clear car advantage in two/three-hour long races.
"I don't believe the reverse grid will be too much of an issue," Leigh added. "With the nature of the car picks, the car choices are very varied [between teams], one of our picks is going to be very strong, it will be ridiculous.
"That's just the way it goes, so I don't think that reverse grid will affect it that much because the faster cars at the back will be so much faster, it's just not even a race."
Leigh's team wasn't the only team to employ this strategy, but eight out of the 12 teams opted for the BMW M8 GTE for the final race. This cost €40m out of the teams' €150m budget, although it will also be used in race six.
Meanwhile, Leigh's trio picked the Porsche 911 RSR, costing just €22m, leaving budget spare to target a couple of those earlier races and a good chance at scooping $3,000 per race.
It's a unique strategic element to an esports tournament, but keeping in the spirit of the real-life Le Mans race, the virtual 24-hour race requires a whole lot more than raw speed.
The entire LMES Super Final will be streamed free across Motorsport.TV, the FIA WEC's YouTube channel and Twitch. With the first race starting at 11am CET on Friday 14 – also live on Facebook.

Arunachal INRC: Ghosh inherits win after Gill's retirement
Mahindra Adventure's Amittrajit Ghosh claimed his first victory of the 2018 Indian National Rally Championship season in Rally of Arunachal after long-time leader Gaurav Gill suffered a shock late retirement.
Championship leader Gill held a comfortable 1m31.8s lead after Leg 1 and extended his advantage further by topping the first stage of Sunday.
However, his Mahindra Super XUV500 developed a mechanical issue just 700m from the finish of SS6, ruling him out of the event.
That opened up a frantic fight for top honours, with Gill's teammate Ghosh securing a narrow 5.9s win over Phalguna Urs.
Ghosh was hamstrung by power issues in Saturday's first stage and was running behind Urs, but staged a heroic comeback to maintain Mahindra's unbeaten record in 2018.
Urs, however, did enough to secure the top spot in INRC2 class as he beat Karna Kudur by 57.5s. Both were driving a Volkswagen Polo.
Dean Mascarenas won in the INRC3 class and finished third in the overall standings, one place ahead of Kudur.
Rahul Kanthraj finished fifth overall and fourth in INRC2 class.

If he always leaves CDs out of their boxes, and always leaves the lid off every container?December 24, 2017 1:38 am at 1:38 am #1434269
If he's a child, then he's a child.
If he's an adult, then he's an adult.
What was the question?
There are no bad people, only people who make bad choices, such as eating relish-flavored ice cream on an empty stomach, followed by three additional full courses, topped with blooming onions and tangerines.December 24, 2017 1:38 am at 1:38 am #1434271
He should be put in cherem.December 24, 2017 11:56 am at 11:56 am #1434336
He's just suffering the side effects of having a Y chromosome. Other side effects include not closing closet doors and leaving the water bottle out of the fridge.December 24, 2017 12:23 pm at 12:23 pm #1434501
It sure beats suffering X chromosome side effects!!December 24, 2017 1:48 pm at 1:48 pm #1434523
Joseph, all of the population suffers from X chromosome side effects.December 24, 2017 3:08 pm at 3:08 pm #1434549
WTP, he doesn't have any more Y chromosomes than any other man, and #notallmen.December 24, 2017 3:38 pm at 3:38 pm #1434593
RebYidd, how do you know that such behavior (or similar) isn't practiced by all or even most men?
Why don't we conduct a survey right here on YW CR:
If you have a Y chromosome, how often do you leave containers uncapped or not return CDs to their jackets?
1. never
2. sometimes
3. always
4. plead the 5th
For those without a Y chromosome, if you are married to someone with a Y chromosome, how often does he leave containers uncapped or not return CDs to their jackets?
1. never
2. sometimes
3. always
4. don't want to answer to preserve your shalom bayisDecember 24, 2017 11:06 pm at 11:06 pm #1435668
If all or most men behaved like this, no CD would survive.December 25, 2017 12:44 am at 12:44 am #1435679
In response to your survey, the answer is, much less often than my wife.
Also, I never thought I would agree to wholeheartedly with Joseph, but I think he is right. One of the side affects of having a Y chromosome is apparently to prevent a carrier from suffering the side affects of having an X chromosome.
The other side of the population, on the other hand, have a double dose…December 25, 2017 12:45 am at 12:45 am #1435680
Still does not prove anything- CDs survive because the women in their lives replace them.December 25, 2017 7:08 am at 7:08 am #1435688
And how exactly do they manage that?December 25, 2017 7:10 am at 7:10 am #1435694
Females may have 2 x chromosomes, but 1 is inactivated, so they do not actually express a double dose. Whether the Y chromosome side effects cancel out the X chromosome side effects, well that will depend on how severe he "suffers" from the Y effect.December 25, 2017 3:37 pm at 3:37 pm #1436217
Creating and protecting things is far more difficult than destroying them.December 26, 2017 2:17 pm at 2:17 pm #1436779
RebYidd, I meant that when the female sees the CD lying around, she puts it back in the jacket, when she sees the container uncovered, she covers it. So it all works out in the end. The guys isn't being bad, just enabling the woman to do what she is best at- creating and protecting.December 26, 2017 5:30 pm at 5:30 pm #1437021
Putting the lid back on doesn't restore the contents. Putting the CD back doesn't unscratch it.December 26, 2017 10:57 pm at 10:57 pm #1437180

Who still uses CDs? Most music today is downloaded to our phones or PDAs via electronic music files or stored in the cloud in our Amazon or Apple Music accounts , or equivalent. Much more convenient and considerably less prone to damage.December 27, 2017 12:13 am at 12:13 am #1437188
GHD: That's because you only listen to secular music. Most of us here listen to Jewish music, which is still sold mostly on CDs.December 27, 2017 12:14 am at 12:14 am #1437190
Gadolhadorah, this is a frum forum, how could you mention something treif like the Internet?December 27, 2017 12:47 am at 12:47 am #1437210
Ooops sorry everyone… I thought I posted to LU in the lashon hara thread… please disregard my last post… thank you ☺December 27, 2017 12:47 am at 12:47 am #1437211
Some men leave caps off their toothpastes, but of that cap off is an issue, then hopefully a husband and wife can afford to have their own personal toothpaste tubesDecember 27, 2017 12:48 am at 12:48 am #1437217🍫Syag LchochmaParticipant
joseph – if youre gonna be nasty, at least be informed. you are totally wrong on this oneDecember 27, 2017 12:48 am at 12:48 am #1437213
A CD left out of its container can technically be in a boom box.December 27, 2017 12:58 am at 12:58 am #1437223
Cheers, Syag.December 27, 2017 6:17 am at 6:17 am #1437225🍫Syag LchochmaParticipant
I didn't mean wrong about posters listening to English music, I meant about her post not being shiach to kosher music. We haven't gotten a CD in ages.December 27, 2017 8:28 am at 8:28 am #1437244
I've had this argument numerous times with the wife. It's not that men are bad, it's that men value efficiency more then women. And frankly we are taught from an early age that we are supposed to be efficient (that's the root behind bitul Torah, lack of using time wisely)
So if my dining room table is covered with seforim or other things I anticipate needing, it's not that I'm "messy" , I'm simply efficient. The wife values the look of cleanliness more then being efficient.
This is true by a lot of things. A great myth is that women are better communicators then men. Not true. They may talk more but that's not communication. The definition of communication is being able to relay thoughts, and men are way more efficient at that.December 27, 2017 8:43 am at 8:43 am #1437259
Mensch1, there is a difference between leaving seforim out and leaving the lid off of a container. Being a whirlwind of chaos and destruction is not okay.December 28, 2017 9:40 pm at 9:40 pm #1439104
Joseph says : " Most of us here listen to Jewish music, which is still sold mostly on CDs."
Oopah…!! Surely you mean lots of "secular" genre music with "psukim from Tanach" verses. ( I'm talking the last 15 years )
Plenty of "big" name Jewish stars who stole rock music songs whole, and glued Jewish words to them.
What constitutes Jewish is itself another matter of discussion. Jewish Sefardi music differs from Ashkenazi, at the very least in scales. In any case, most contemporary Jewish music is boring, all sound the same, imitations of one from another, uninspiring . Did I mention uninspiring?
Now I'm copywriting Chubby Checker's 'The Twist" into Siman Tov & Mazel Tov.
Get a lawyer if I hear you singing or playing it the next 2nd dance.
Anyway, "most" is guesswork.December 28, 2017 9:42 pm at 9:42 pm #1439111
… Or what I get a kick out of most, are the intros to chosson/kallah entrances. Rock, punk, mambos, etc… while everybody gets so busy waiting in line breathlessly. Jewish music my last week's Matyas herring.
Years ago, dinner music was beautiful , yes, secular music and nobody complained.
These days is non-stop screaming " Oy vey, bre ng shoyn Moshiach… Aha… Aha… Der shviger dantzt, the yenta zugt, der yiddel shpringt, oy, vay, oy vay. Or some "memre" someplace which doesn't fit the music.
Shomer Chinum, Shomer, Sachar, aye, aye, aye….December 28, 2017 11:22 pm at 11:22 pm #1439140
I was enjoying this thread until you trotted out the tired old diatribe about "what they call Jewish music today."
I, for one, have no patience for the highbrows who seem to think that only their taste in music matters.
It's no coincidence that Ashkenazi music sounds so similar to Eastern European music, while Sefardic music sounds so similar to Arabic music. The fact that you don't enjoy contemporary singers or find their songs inspiring doesn't mean that it's any less Jewish than Regesh, Carlebach, Rabbi's Sons, or even Yossel Rosenblatt. You can include every Chassidishe nigun from the Baal Shem Tov's Nigun straight through Modzitz and next year's Simchas Beis Hashoeiva from Belz in this list. (Honorable mention goes to the Chassidim, who managed to produce the Emperor's New Album to match his clothes, by saying that "the Rebbe was Mikadeish the Nigun.")
None of that was inherently "Jewish music" either, and I'm sure that in each generation, the old fuddy duddys complained about "what they call Jewish music today."
In response to Joseph, nearly all Jewish music for the past ten years, and a lot of the earlier stuff, is available for digital download, and on subscription music apps.
Now back to our regular feature program…
Nobody is perfect, but the Y chromosome seems to give its carrier a more relaxed (dare I say, realistic) attitude about the failings of those around him.December 29, 2017 12:01 am at 12:01 am #1439123
Zion, you've been so brainwashed by non-Jewish music that you're a) unable to enjoy Jewish music and b) don't even know Jewish music.December 29, 2017 12:01 am at 12:01 am #1439130
Deliberately changing the topic of a thread to one that there are a lot of threads for already is not as bad as leaving a CD or DVD out of its case, but it is still not the right thing to do.December 29, 2017 12:01 am at 12:01 am #1439147
Agree with you completely, that was precisely my point. My response was to Joseph who featured himself listening to "Jewish " music while knocking Gadolhadorah .December 29, 2017 12:16 am at 12:16 am #1439153
Catch yourself
During my sheva brochos ( first marriage) I learned that my parents had not properly trained me in all manners of proper behavior. Apparently there are very specific ways of closing cereal boxes and even what surfaces car keys can touch. Apparently the X chromosome somehow creates a need for control on all matters considered trivial by Y chromosome carriers.December 29, 2017 12:16 am at 12:16 am #1439172
I apologize, but had to respond to Joseph's sucker punch about Jewish music.
Enjoy your thread.December 29, 2017 12:17 am at 12:17 am #1439173
Was just listening to a Rabbi reisman tape on the middah of netzach. Loosely translated as victory over something and putting it in the past, getting over it. He applied it to shalom bayis by saying that when spouses come and complain to him and say " I've been telling him:her for ten years …." he responds "so, nu , do you expect change in the next ten years? Just accept it and move on"December 29, 2017 1:02 am at 1:02 am #1439192
My apologies. I somehow missed your sarcasm.
Joseph, I feel for you. It must be difficult to be so righteously indignant about something that you can not define, or even properly identify.December 29, 2017 1:02 am at 1:02 am #1439191
That's just silly, mentsch1. Some conditions are just not livable, and some crimes cannot be ignored.December 29, 2017 1:02 am at 1:02 am #1439189
I'm sorry to hear that you had to go through that. I have a close friend who endured something similar. His first marriage lasted less than three months.
However, in his case (and perhaps in yours as well) the culprit was not the XX chromosomal condition, but a bad case of OCD (she hid it from him the whole time, and went off medication to try to conceive), coupled with an obscene form of premeditated abuse of trust [this last may well have been genetic – it is rather similar to what Lavan did…].
Your mother's rather healthy training of her child(ren) seems to be evidence that not all ailments suffered by XX carriers are related to that particular chromosome.
In any case, I am happy that you were able to move on from a toxic situation.December 29, 2017 1:52 am at 1:52 am #1439209
Oops, forgot to @ mentsch1.December 29, 2017 8:23 am at 8:23 am #1439228
It wasn't ocd.
"Happy wife = Happy life"
This rule means that the Y chromosome often has to apologize for things that he knows he isn't wrong about and has to live with things he knows he shouldn't. Despite the X chromosome always believing they are right and rarely apologizing the Y chromosome somehow moves on.December 29, 2017 1:10 pm at 1:10 pm #1439359
Just to be clear, I wasn't describing someone who is just messy. I would leave the CD case on the desk and the can of coffee on the counter. This person would remove the CD from the case and pack away the case with the other CD cases. They would remove the lid from the coffee and put it back in the cabinet without the lid.December 30, 2017 6:15 pm at 6:15 pm #1439425
RebYidd- are these the only "crimes"? It sounds like it could be a memory problem, or being easily distracted- any other signs of forgetfulness?December 30, 2017 7:54 pm at 7:54 pm #1439512
I don't think it's a memory problem. He never forgets to pack something away, and apparently never forgets to lose the lid of a container.

Operating in the kitchen as a cook offers you many experiences. Among the most typical experiences is an immediate cut from a sharp blade that cuts fruits or veggies. Obtaining such an injury is so usual that also the experts, as well as experts, deal with it.
Hence, it is vital to listen and also take precautions for safeguarding your fingers as well as hand. The primary reason that people usually end up harming themselves while cutting veggies is the soft as well as spongy nature of the latter.
Introduction of Plastic Knives
As a protective measure, these knives are created to safeguard your hands from cuts. They likewise look after healthy and balanced cutting by keeping the surge of bacteria at bay. They are resistant to dirt and also provide remarkable cuts for both fruits and veggies.
The blades of these tools are composed of some hard plastic. This material is so strong that it easily punctures soft vegetables without providing any kind of added stress.
These knives are normally disposable or recyclable flatware pieces that you quadrate sets such as those of spoons as well as forks or as knife-only bundles. As blades are made to reduce food and also need repetitive motion with some pressure used, they need to be more long-lasting than any other cutlery products implied for throwing away.
A lot of plastic knives are comprised of polystyrene, a challenging as well as thick plastic that does not know exactly how to flex. Even more, the manufacturers can quickly handle this plastic material to make great cutting, sharp teeth.
Top Reasons to Utilize Plastic Knives
There are several reasons plastic blades are so popular as well as widely being used today. Complying with are these alluring reasons:
Convenience: Plastic knives have numerous functions. You, along with your guests or member of the family, need a knife for not just cutting foodstuffs but additionally spreading butter, spices, and also soft cheese. A plastic blade of high quality can carry out all these tasks adequately. Knife Planet has some for you to try. These blades are offered in a range of lengths, ranging right from 6.0 to 8.5-inches. Also, the blades are readily available for as much as an inch large at the tummy. A few disposable versions include short manages as well as lengthy blades, which are simply best for cutting via food. You can also locate thick yet short blades having long managed, a design required for cutting in addition to dispersing. Several designs include distinctive manages to ensure you the most effective hold. Some are also difficult enough to recycle them a number of times without any problem. Thus, you enjoy selections in terms of style and also performance.
Comfort: Plastic blades make life easier for those who use it, might they be cooks, customers, or waiters. Rather than cleaning a host of knives, they can now discard the exact same once they are done eating. Also, those that are hosting celebrations or are on long journeys can conveniently make use of these blades and afterward throw them without cleaning them. Nonetheless, this imposes a severe ecological issue if the plastic material in operation is not easily compostable. This is why it is sensible in addition to caring to make use of knives comprised of naturally degradable plastic products. In addition, cleaning knives is a quick as well as the effective process in dishwashing machines that companies, as well as families, have.
Recyclable: The polystyrene product is recyclable with a label of 6 in recycling circles. However, the municipality in your area should give its consent to this classification. A number of municipalities do not give consent to food-grade recyclables. Nevertheless, the primary goal of nonreusable plastic knives is really for proper throwaways. Many manufacturers have begun making plastic cutlery making use of post-consumer web content. Therefore, several plastic knives are environmentally friendly products. Better, a couple of are 100% compostable or biodegradable, while some contain a mix of renewable fillers such as plant starch to add substantially to ecological sustainability as well as making you a green customer.

Just ran across this verse last week and these few words really lit a fire under me! "Sing to the Lord a new song." I'll be honest, I'm not 100% sure the exact meaning and theology behind this verse from Psalms but for me, while I was reading this in the early morning before the day started, it stuck with me and I was blown away at how God opened up His Word!
Some days it can be extremely tough to wake up with joy, praising God with excitement for the day ahead. Whether it's the same old routine, at the same old job, doing the same old thing, whatever it is in your life just focus in on this. We serve a God that is so mighty and awesome, He's been beyond good to us for creating us, giving us life each day with the breaths we take, and saving us from a death that we deserved to have by sending His Son to die in our place. What a love that is!!! What incredible amounts of grace and mercy that God shows us through saving us and then, salvation isn't it. It's only the first big step of many with Him wrapping His loving arms around us! He has saved us, forgiven us, and set us free to live a full LIFE here and now on earth each day. He gives us the chance to stay close to Him, He gives us His Word to learn more about Him and His beautiful heart. He gives us complete access to Him in so many ways with the biggest being going to Him in prayer! He lets us seek Him, lay our problems at His feet and then in His faithfulness He answers our prayers EVERY SINGLE TIME! Giving us all we need to continue striving forward no matter how tough our situation is! His Word and His presence brings a level of peace to our life that is unexplainable to our tiny human minds to comprehend, strength and fuel to keep on keeping on, to live life in the fullest of ways in ways that please Him! And did I mention how this life with God isn't it??!? This life He's given us now with Him is only an extremely small dose of what's to come, a teeny tiny piece compared to the life of eternity that He has set before us after we leave this world!! The God that created the heavens and the earth and everything in it!!!
I say all that to just broaden your image of God this morning so you can see that to "sing to the Lord a new song," despite all the old we have in our lives. Despite all the pain and failures of yesterday, the mistakes we've made and the hard situations we dealt with. Despite everything that we've experienced yesterday that we tend to always carry as baggage with us into each new day. Despite all that not so great stuff, we serve an oh so great God and He's given us more than enough to lay down our yesterday's and sing a NEW song to Him today!! It's because of who He is and the always faithful, endless love that He gives us, each day we have the opportunity to sing a NEW song to the Lord!!!
I so often get caught up in my yesterday's that it holds me up in my right now. The good thing is, having this relationship with God, my experiences yesterday mean nothing when compared to the mighty God I serve!!! For the unlimited power and grace He brings to our lives we don't have to live in today based off of how we messed up yesterday! He gives us new breath, new life, and a new song to sing as we arise each day because this life we have with Christ, the awesome message of the Gospel is a song that plays over our daily lives, a song that says "yesterday is gone, forgiven, and forgotten, today I stand with God as a child of God and in His loving presence all is possible, this new life begins with each moment with Him!!!! If you haven't already, warm up the vocal chords and let the newness of life God brings to us each day wash away yesterday!!! SING A NEW SONG TO THE LORD!!!!

A twin-engine jet crashed in the woods of northern Mississippi, killing all three people who were onboard: the pilot, his wife and the co-pilot. Police in Union County identified the deceased as residents of Belmont and Booneville, respectively.
A spokesman for the Federal Aviation Administration explained that the aircraft, a Rockwell Sabreliner 65, departed University Oxford Airport in Mississippi at around 3 p.m. on Saturday, April 13, and was bound for Marion County-Rankin Fite Airport in Alabama. Around 5 p.m. that same day, the FAA received a call saying that the plane was missing from the radar.
It was around 9:30 p.m. that officials discovered the aircraft, which had crashed in the area between New Albany and Blue Springs. Severe storms had been reported on Saturday, but investigators are still unclear as to whether the storms were a factor in the crash. The FAA and the National Transportation Safety Board are currently looking into the case and trying to determine the exact time of the crash.
There can be any number of factors in airplane crashes, and if negligence on the part of the pilot or the maker of the aircraft is one of causes, victims may be able to file a personal injury claim. They might be reimbursed for economic and non-economic losses like property damage, medical bills and pain and suffering.
If the crash is fatal, a family member could sue for loss of support, funeral and burial costs, pre-death medical bills and emotional suffering, among other damages. To show how the other party was negligent may require the assistance of a legal firm. A lawyer may be beneficial for the process of negotiating a settlement or litigating.

On GearLimits we have often reviewed backpacks from Osprey, mostly packs aimed at being used during intensive action sports (our core activity of course). However, Osprey's collection includes many other packs and during my recent summer vacation with my family to Canada I had the opportunity to experience what Osprey had to offer in the travel segment. So a slight side-step to this "genre", and seeing if Osprey is also good at these types of packs.
We received the Fairview, a 2-1 in one pack by Osprey, specifically designed for women. The Travelpack consists of two packs, the main large pack, and a smaller 13L daypack that, when you don't use it separately, is zipped onto the outside of the main large pack. The daypack has a main compartment with a pouch for smaller items and a laptop/tablet sleeve. Furthermore, it has a small top pocket with scratch free material for your sunglasses (we see that on most Osprey packs) and two bottle pouches.
As we said, the daypack can be zipped onto the pack and tightened further with the compression straps. I have to say that the bag is very "clean", with a minimum of straps hanging loose.
The main pack is a smartly constructed pack. If you do not wear it on your back, you can stow away the shoulder straps behind a zippered panel. When traveling by plane and car that is a function that will protect your shoulder straps from being damaged. Carry the pack with one of the two handles on the top and on the middle of the pack.
When you do use the shoulder straps the zipper panel is stowed way, and you will find a mesh-ventilated back panel and a load bearing system specifically engineered for the female anatomy. The inside of the the pack is one big compartment, with a mesh bag for your dirty items for example, there are no further side pockets to the bag.
The features of the bag are basic but simple, the versatility of the daypack is a really interesting feature. My wife (who used the bag), reported that carrying the complete bag on
your back is comfortable. The back panel and load bearing systems are not as elaborate as you would find on a technical trekking pack but is certainly adequate for the kind of travel/backpacking you would do with this pack.
The 13L daypack was a less comfortable carry, certainly with more weight in the pack, so after using it a couple of times on 2-3 hour walks, she turned to a different daypack. "I'm really enthusiastic about the concept. Certainly, for city trips, this worked really well. And because the Fairview is designed really nice – I would buy it solely on how it looks – it is a pack I look forward to using again.

How do you plan for a nightmare?
Businesses ponderhow to operate in caseof bird flu pandemic
By Jonathan Epstein NEWS BUSINESS REPORTER
Updated: 10/07/07 7:37 AM
When Patricia Buckley came to work on Monday, her company was in crisis mode. About 90 people were out sick or caring for family members nearly half of the work force so she and her team mobilized fast.
Just two weeks earlier, a global bird flu pandemic had struck several U.S. cities and swept quickly across the country, overwhelming emergency rooms.
Nationwide, half of U.S. workers were ill or otherwise not at work. Full distribution of a vaccine was three months away.
Mail delivery was down to once a week. Two-hour rolling blackouts and brownouts were common as demand surged and repairs could not be made.
The supply of goods was falling, and some businesses had either closed or were being run from homes. And the crisis was hammering Buckleys company, Merchants Mutual Insurance Co., along with its customers and independent agents.
But Buckley couldnt just hide from the illness at home. As part of Merchants disaster response team, the director of information technology operations had to make sure the company still had enough staff to function, run its operations and meet its customers needs including handling telephone calls and insurance claims.
If it gets a lot worse, its going to get a lot worse throughout the entire United States, she said. A disaster that affects only our company, were very confident in our ability to recover. This is far-reaching. Its making us think. Wait. Stop. Relax.
This scenario is just an emergency planning exercise. Theres no pandemic and the avian flu hasnt spread in large numbers to humans.
But public health officials around the world arent waiting for that to happen. And at their prodding, neither is corporate America. Theyre preparing now, just in case their worst nightmare comes true.
My hope is that these businesses dont ignore this and then it becomes a problem of government to try to fix their problem in retrospect, said Dr. Anthony J. Billittier IV, Erie County health commissioner. Government wont be able to do it. Look at Katrina.
From insurers and banks to grocery store chains like Wegmans, companies large and small nationwide are developing contingency plans to deal with a range of possible effects of a widespread flu pandemic.
The H5N1 virus has already spread rapidly among bird populations in Asia, Europe and Africa, and infected more than 329 people in 12 countries, killing 201, according to the World Health Organization. The virus has not yet shown the ability to jump from person to person, but experts who have been monitoring it for eight years say thats just a matter of time.
It wouldnt be the first. In 1918, the Spanish flu pandemic killed an estimated 40 million people worldwide. Two other pandemics in 1957 and 1968 also caused significant deaths but not to the same degree.
The impact of a new pandemic on society and the economy could be severe. A report this year by Trust for Americas Health said a severe pandemic could lead to the second-worst U.S. recession since World War II. New York states economy alone could lose $50 billion.
So businesses are taking precautions, especially if they operate globally. Theyre looking at how to cope with the loss of a major portion of staff, how to contain the disease, how to keep operations running, and how to serve customers.
A bank of the size and complexity of HSBC has to have in place detailed plans to deal with any possible threat to its business, said Francine Minadeo, spokeswoman for HSBC Bank USA, whose London-based parent is stockpiling drugs.
Theyre also exploring every possible secondary disaster scenario, from fixing computer problems when the tech guy is sick to maintaining food deliveries into a building.
M&T, like any organization, is aware of the fact that the possibility of a pandemic exists. So we prepare for it just like any other event that could happen, said Jeff Shaw, information security compliance administrator, who manages M&T Bank Corp.s business continuity effort. Its just being prudent.
The financial services industry is among the most advanced in planning, because its highly regulated and those regulators want to ensure the nations financial system remains intact. Banks and insurers must have business continuity plans in place for a wide range of emergencies, and must test them and update them to ensure they would work. The flu efforts have been under way for two years, since November 2005.
Bank of America actively tests business preparedness plans, processes and back up operations, spokeswoman Kelly Sapp said by e-mail. We continue to use simulations and other measures . . . to prepare for all types of scenarios.
We have a responsibility to our customers and our franchise and our employees to make sure that we have a healthy work environment and can meet our customers needs, said Greg Gist, senior vice president in Citigroups Corporate Office of Business Continuity. The risk of not being prepared, to me, carries 10 times more the consequences than the risk of being [overly] prepared.
Thats why more than 2,725 banks, insurers and brokerage firms around the country including Merchants, M&T, Bank of America and Citi are currently participating in a threeweek exercise aimed at testing disaster plans in the event of a pandemic. The test began Sept. 24, and ends Thursday.
The exercise the largest ever of this type in the United States is designed to simulate as best as possible the conditions that companies would face when the virus hits America. Thats based on the estimates and predictions of scientists and medical researchers at Centers for Disease Control and the World Health Organization.
Its sponsored by the U.S. Department of the Treasury and the Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association.
At its core, the test expects about 25 percent of a companys staff to be absent the first week, and almost half the second.
It then presents a series of changing conditions affecting travel, the stock market, and other factors, and poses an array of specific worst-case scenarios to see whether the companies have a plan, and how they would respond.
What were trying to do is recreate as much as we can what would happen should a pandemic eventually reach America, said Louis W. Pietroluongo, deputy New York state In two incidents last month of avian influenza infecting chickens: at left, a worker disinfects apoultry truck near Nuremberg, Germany; at right, a health official throws an infected bird intoa fire pit in Surabaya, Indonesia.
superintendent of insurance for disaster preparedness and business continuity planning. We cant explore all of these things, but what were trying to do is come down the middle of the road.
Merchants even added its own twist, creating an additional problem involving its own personnel or equipment each day for team members to solve.
We thought it might be interesting to put the immediate spin on it, Merchants spokeswoman Lisa Wishman said. Its an eye-opening exercise.
Many businesses have long had contingency plans and emergency response teams in place should a particular bank branch, office building, store, operations facility, city or entire region be affected by a disaster.
The goal is to make sure the business can operate through the event, without impeding customers and without losing any records or information.
In the past, companies prepared for hurricanes, tornados, floods, earthquakes, blizzards, fires or other natural disasters, as well as for events such as blackouts that could be unrelated to weather. More recently, theyve added terrorism events like dirty bombs to the list, especially in high-profile areas.
But preparing for a worldwide flu pandemic is much different. Rather than affecting just a limited geographic area or even a single building, a pandemic would hit the entire country. And it would last for 12 to 18 months, in multiple waves, instead of a few minutes or hours.
Very few companies if any have ever planned for something like this, Gist said. Most companies are using this as an opportunity to take their planning to a new level of maturity. There is no one silver bullet.
First, companies are prioritizing their work and learning what resources are available to them. Many would transfer work from one operations center to another that wasnt hit as hard, or even to another department within the same facility.
The projected waves of a pandemic may be regional in nature or affect only a limited area, Karen Merkel-Liberatore, spokesman for Buffalo-based HealthNow New York.
Employees also are being actively cross-trained in multiple functions, and companies are identifying key people to fill critical roles. And significant work is already automated.
Many companies like M&T, Citi and KeyBank are considering whether employees can do work from home to avoid exposure, and are assessing whether they have enough Internet bandwidth to handle such an increase in Web traffic. Indeed, thats become a major question.
Its such a great unknown, said M&Ts Shaw. Weve never pushed the limit of the Internet to this point where we know what this would do to us.
KeyBank officials are looking at whether they could handle more activity through call centers, online banking, and ATMs, since many routine activities can be done remotely, said spokesman William Murschel.
Billittier said some banks have talked of closing branch lobbies to minimize physical contact.
And Citi is making sure its human resources policies consider situations that we havent thought of before, Gist said, such as the need for a single parent to stay home with children if schools are closed.
Pietrolongo said companies also need to maintain building security to keep sick people from coming to work, and might need to provide cafeteria service around the clock. And they have to consider the psychological impact on workers.
Youre going to have a lot of people dying. Its a human scenario, he said.
HSBC, with its global reach in 83 countries and territories, has gone a step further. After seeking advice from leading experts on avian flu, the company is purchasing and stockpiling the anti-viral drug Tamiflu that has been recommended by the World Health Organization. The drug would be available to all employees and, where possible, could be purchased for their family members.
This risk is very much a people issue and therefore we have planned with the protection of our employees and their families, and our customers, in mind, Minadeo said by e-mail.
Still, many nonfinancial businesses are betting against an outbreak. And that concerns experts like Billittier.
Its important that they have some sort of planning. Theres so many things that were vulnerable to, he said. Its not just about pandemic flu.

Home Symposia: Transcultural 'Home' through 'Timeless' Ecologies and Philosophies
Contemporary research on the cultural values of home has rested on notions of 'being' and 'feeling' human and at home in the space of 'dwelling' (Heidegger) or 'habitus' (Bordieu). These are critical philosophical starting points into thinking about the role of 'home' in human consciousness, identity practices and in socio-political economies and networks. However, these are squarely based in a western canon. The symposium on transcultural values of 'home' attends to the need within international quality research to think 'home' transculturally and internationally beyond this framework of thinking.
This is not to dismiss the cultural and philosophical values of 'home' based on notions of 'dwelling' and 'habitus' but to build and extend dialogues across to the Antipodes where Maori and Aboriginal cultural values offer different starting points, timescales and relationships between individuals and society. The starting point for this symposium will be the figuring of 'home' in non-Western cultures. 'Home' in these social groups and contexts is philosophically embedded in different frameworks of time, heritage, territory and 'dwelling'. Most importantly 'social' and 'post human' accounts of human-land relations are critical to rites, rituals and notions of social laws of land rights, human rights, appropriation and governance. The session will engage with the temporal and spatial historical evolution of idea through a truly interdisciplinary approach; embracing Archaeology, Anthropological ethnography, Psycho-sociological geographies of home and the reconceptualisation of 'home' from post Imperial communities and colonies. Home as figured through varied conceptualisations of 'social territory' including notions of mobility and time are critical in transcultural research which disrupts bounded categorisations of territory, settlement, residence and 'home.
This is the third symposium in this series on 'Home'.

Cabin Fever!
Comments : Off
Since it is in the middle of a 40 day and 40 night event, it is forcing us to stay inside. We have some new things to mess with. A new small camera, that also shoots video, and also a GoPro. We have editing capabilities on our new computer, so we are messing with that. The one problem is uploads. Since we are on Satellite internet here, it is difficult to load. And, file sizes for this site have to be small. So, for now, we are going to post occasional video clips as a tease…For a person that is riding the little bus, when it comes to these things, it takes some time. Of course, right when we figure something out, they will change something!
Here is the first one, lets see how it goes…

On 26 October 2019 Deputies took part in the community work (umuganda), with one delegation led by Hon. Edda Mukabagwiza, Deputy Speaker in charge of Parliamentary Affairs joining residents of Nyaruguru District and another delegation led by Hon. Sheikh Mussa Fazil Harerimana, Deputy Speaker in charge of Finance and Administration joining Musanze residents.
In Nyaruguru District, MPs and local residents participated in different activities meant for social welfare such as construction of a house for the needy household, creation of kitchen gardens and plantation of fruit trees in effort to curb malnutrition. In Musanze District, works were dedicated to constructing two houses for the family of the late Niyibizi Jean Damascene killed by armed infiltrators who attacked Kinigi Sector in early October 2019.
At the end of activities, Hon. Mukabagwiza congratulated Cyahinda residents for their commitment and efforts in helping support the needy and planting fruit trees in a bid to end malnutrition in their households.
She called upon them to protect the gains of their social economic development, refraining from working with wrong doers but rather timely reporting criminal intents before they can do harm to public safety.
In Musanze District, Hon. Sheikh Musa Fazil Harerimana commended residents for their cooperation with security forces in tracing armed infiltrators and restoring security. He encouraged them to remain focused by conducting routine night patrol and timely providing security organs with useful information regarding possible security threats, so as to safeguard peace and stability on the entire Rwandan territory.
As part of parliamentary outreach, parliamentarians regularly carry out a range of activities including community work whereby they join the community in locally-organized activities, at the end of which they hold meetings with them centered on socio-economic agendas.
