Today, March 31, 2014 is the eve of the new Hebrew month of Nisan. The month of Nisan is designated as the month of Passover, the month of the Exodus, and the month of redemption for all.
Because of the special holiness of this month, it is customary not to visit grave sites for the duration of the month. Thus, anyone whose beloved passed away in Nisan, the family holds the memorial on the eve of the new month - today.

The Clash Between Hareidi Torah Study and Enlistment
The article below by Rabbi Eliezer Melamed presents one of several religious-Zionist positions on the issue of hareidi yeshiva students and IDF enlistment. Key paragraphs are highlighted in red.
By Rabbi Eliezer Melamed
Translated and edited by Baruch Gordon and Yonatan Bahar
Are yeshiva students obligated to serve in the army?
Question: Are yeshiva students required by Jewish law to serve in the IDF or are all those who learn Torah exempt, regardless of their numbers?
Answer: The obligation to enlist in the army is based on two great mitzvoth – 1) rescuing a Jew and 2) settlement of the land of Israel. There are, in fact, 17 mitzvot (Torah commandments) connected to army service, and Rabbi Shlomo Yosef Zevin, a Chabad Rabbi who served as the first editor of the Talmudic Encyclopedia, listed and explained them in his book L'eor HaHalacha. Rabbi Eliezer Yehuda Valdenberg in his important response Tzitz Eliezer and Rabbi Tzvi Yehuda HaCohen Kook in his book L'Netivot Yisrael also clarified the mitzvah of enlistment in the Israeli army. Other great Torah sages delved into this same topic of the mitzvah of military service in Israel.

Hesder Yeshivas
By Rabbi Eliezer Melamed
In recent years, various people have criticized and attacked the Hesder program of Torah study and army service because of its shortened military track. True, they acknowledge that the Hesder yeshiva students are good soldiers, but they claim that specifically because of this, the argument is even stronger: Why shouldn't they contribute three years like their secular brothers?
Let's go back to square one.Read more
How One Woman Took Revenge on Hitler
In the New York offices of Fesco, I met a Satmar Hassid named Nachum Schwartz who told me that his grandmother, Yitta Schwartz, who passed away several years ago, survived the holocaust and made her way to the USA.
Baruch together with Nachum Schwartz
At the time of her passing, she was 93 and had over 2,000 living descendants. She herself had 18 children, and every time a child, grandchild, great grandchild or great great grandchild was born, she would rejoice and say, "Another blow to Hitler."Read more

Ask The Rabbi: My Wife Won't Make Aliyah
to the Israel Empowered Newsletter for exclusive content
unavailable anywhere else in English
By Rabbi David Samson
When my wife and I married almost 25 years ago we were both reformed jews. Recently, I have a strong desire to become much more orthodox. I put on Tefillin daily, go to an orthodox Minyan each Shabbat, seek to have a kosher home and have a strong desire to move to Israel today. Through all of this I have realized that I am Jewish first and American second. My wife and family resist these changes and would never consider moving from the U.S. In the conflict between my love of Hashem and love of family, who should win?
Why Was the Levy Report Buried?
Last year, The Prime Minister of Israel appointed a committee led by former Israel Supreme Court Justice Edmond Levy to examine the status of Israeli building in Judea and Samaria.
The committee concluded that based on international law, because of both historical and legal factors, Israel's presence in Judea and Samaria is not an "occupation" or "illegitimate" and that Israel has the legal right to settle in Judea and Samaria. The report was quickly buried because if international pressure.

Israel the Beautiful

This summer as usual Destiny Foundation conducted its annual weekend retreat at Kibbutz Lavi in the Lower Galilee section of Israel. Being the city dweller that I currently am, I must admit that I rarely leave Jerusalem and thus do not get to see and appreciate the natural beauty and wonders of our wondrous country. But the journey to and fro Jerusalem-Lavi-Jerusalem (and by different routes) afforded me the opportunity to again witness the innate natural beauty of Israel.

The renewed embrace of historicism in recent decades has helped revive the reputation of Statius' Silvae. As remnants of the relationship between poet and patron in Flavian Rome, for example, the Silvae can exemplify the careful navigation required in the imperial court and high society of the time. Yet appreciation of their literary qualities has lagged behind this increased interest in the cultural context of the Silvae, and analysis of the poems' exuberant strategies of praise too often seems to involve a degree of defensiveness. In recent years this trend has begun to reverse, with the appearance of studies treating the poems as poems and not mere cultural artifacts. Statius' lyric ode to Vibius Maximus (Silvae 4.7) has yet to receive such treatment, however. Yet this poem offers an intimate and important view of Statius' contemplation of his own art as well as its complicated relation to his patron.

New Services
What are the first steps for getting a new service?
- First, we need the member to fill out a request for power form. It's found on our website here.
- Residential members also need to fill out the "Application for Membership and Contract for Service" located here.
- If the new service is for a residential home, please specify the KW size of the future home's furnace on the request form.
- Once the paperwork is completed and turned in, our engineer will come and stake the project. Based on the staking, we will put together a contract and bid that will be sent back to the member to be signed and returned to us. If the member decides to cancel the project based on the price, they will only receive a staking fee.
- After we receive the signed contract and check, we will get the project on our construction list.
What are some things that consumers need to do before Roughrider can stake the location?
- All dirt moving and ground leveling must be completed.
- Clearly mark where the consumer would like the transformer placed.
What is the timeframe for staking and construction?
The time depends on how many services we have in process and the weather and ground conditions. We generally expect staking to take 4-6 weeks and construction to take at least that long.
Who is the field contact for the inspections and field work?
The electrician.
Do electricians need to contact Roughrider for an inspection before the secondary conduits are backfilled?

European telecom carriers on Wednesday urged European Union member states not to cut proposed funding for broadband and cross-border digital service infrastructure.
The Connecting Europe Facility (CEF), which has earmarked a ¬50 billion (US$67 billion) investment for transportation, energy and ICT between 2014 and 2020, will be debated by E.U. leaders on Thursday and Friday as they try to negotiate a budget package.
Current proposals by President of the European Council Herman Van Rompuy would see the overall CEF budget cut to around ¬40 billion. In a letter to Van Rompuy, ETNO (the European Telecommunications Network Operators' association) warned that a reduction in the proposed funding would be "a short-sighted decision."
CEF aims to speed up investment by telecom companies that at the moment may not have enough market incentive to invest, particularly where citizens do not yet have high-speed broadband access.
Under the original CEF plan, ¬9.2 billion was to go to ICT projects -- ¬7 billion to aid the deployment of fast and ultrafast broadband networks at speeds of 100M bps and above, and ¬2.2 billion for cross-border e-services such as eHealth, eSignatures, eProcurement, cybersecurity and Europeana (Europe's digital cultural archive). The European Commission, which first put forward the proposals in 2011, estimates that eProcurement alone could save up to ¬100 billion a year.
Although the e-services part of the proposals would be funded by direct grants, the money for broadband would be largely in the form of equity, debt or guarantees. The Commission estimates that each euro invested by the CEF could leverage between ¬6 and ¬15 of public and private investment by giving projects credibility and lowering their risk profiles.
"A full ¬9bn spent on broadband and cross-border digital service infrastructures would be money well spent. But we don't see it is as a competition with energy and transport -- all the elements of the proposal are valid. But we are realistic -- there will be a cut of some amount," said Commission Digital Agenda spokesman Ryan Heath.
He added that because the funding is backed by the European Investment Bank, national governments get back, with interest, the money they put into the CEF. "There is little short-term and no long-term financial gain in cutting this funding proposal," said Heath.

· If you knew about something not being included (any erroneous item), did you not sign the return because you were in a domestically abusive household?
· Has the IRS audited your joint return and assessed additional penalties, taxes, or interest?
· Was this the result of unreported income, understatement of tax, or incorrect deductions/credits?
· Has the IRS attempted to take your tax refund from you?
· Has the IRS attempted to levy your bank account?
· Has the IRS attempted to garnish your wages?
· Has it been less than two years since the IRS first attempted to collect the tax balance due from you?
If you can answer "yes" to all of the above questions, you probably qualify for innocent spouse relief.

As ever, Burberry didn't disappoint, creating one of our favourite beauty looks of Fashion Week so far.
The s/s 15 Burberry girl has flawless, honey-toned skin, a natural tawny eye and an intense, deep red rose lip - this is make-up we want to wear, now.
To get the look Burberry's Artistic Consultant and go-to make-up artist, Wendy Rowe used Burberry Fresh Glow Luminous Fluid Base in Golden Radiance, £34, all over the face, neck and décolletage to give the models' skin a sun kissed, seamless finish.
On the eyes, Wendy applied Burberry Blusher in Earth with a thick blending brush to give a subtle contour. As for the lip (it's all about the lip) Wendy chose Burberry Lip Cover in Ruby, £22.50 - the closest shade to deep red rose petals she's found.
Romantic, sophisticated and easy to wear.
Plus, you can buy the nail shades worn by the models on the catwalk right now, until 29 September. There are two three-piece collections to choose from Pink Tones or Blue Tones, both £45. Buy the Runway Nail Collections at the Burberry website here...

Nevada: Ready or not refugees on the way to Reno
Posted by Ann Corcoran on May 14, 2016
Update May 16th: Reno followup—incredibly important information (go here).
I've been reporting in recent weeks about the new sites being targeted for refugee seeding by the the UN/US State Department Refugee Admissions Program (most recently yesterday it was Rutland, VT***).
It is my educated guess that the federal resettlement contractors are wearing out their welcome in the 190 or so places in the US where refugees are already being resettled (and in many cases have been resettled for decades) and that perhaps one of the limiting factors is government-funded housing (not to mention other important things like lack of jobs!) and are thus scouting fresh territory.
Also, remember that Obama has upped the refugee stream to America this year from the 70,000 number of recent years to 85,000 by September 30th.
Starting October 1, Obama says he will be recommending 100,000 for FY2017 (even though he will be out of the White House for most of it).
Digressing for a minute, Congress will have a huge role to play in September when Obama makes his final determination about the number of refugees coming for the fiscal year that begins Oct. 1 and we will be watching to see if the gutless Congress does anything about it!
So back to Reno (and other sites) which are being prepped for the even bigger wave of refugees expected to begin October 1. By the way, I'm wondering if the low-skilled refugees will compete with Nevada's large Hispanic population for jobs.
From KUNR radio:
The U.S. State Department has greenlighted a Northern Nevada nonprofit to help resettle refugees escaping hotbeds of conflict around the globe beginning this fall.
Carina Black, executive director of the Reno-based Northern Nevada International Center, says their application to become an official resettlement agency was approved in February. They've since been laying the groundwork, and building a stakeholders' network, before those first few families arrive.
"Those stakeholders include people from the health industry, from education, from ESL… people in the faith communities have been coming forward and showing a huge interest in helping us," she says. "So we're still basically conducting a lot of training…and getting ready for this new endeavor." [Remember readers that you are a stakeholder too! Maybe since you are paying for all of it, the biggest stakeholder of all!—ed]
Black says initially about two families — approximately 10 people — could arrive by September. For the federal fiscal year running Oct. 2016 through 2017, they've asked to resettle at most 75 refugees.
The full list of countries include: Cuba, Colombia, El Salvador, Guatemala, Eritrea, Sudan, Ethiopia, Somalia, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Syria, Afghanistan and Iraq.
El Salvador and Guatemala have never been refugee-sending countries, that is, until Obama magically turned the unaccompanied alien minors from Central America into refugees. He was re-writing the Refugee Act of 1980 without Congress and Congress let him get away with it!
The mayor had concerns. It is up to citizens of Reno to speak up NOW if you have similar concerns!
Mayor Hillary Schieve was quoted last November saying she would prefer a "pause" on the program, following the terrorist attacks in Paris, but Black says she's since had productive meetings with Schieve and other city council members to assuage their concerns.
Recently we told you that sites are getting ready to open in Ithaca, NY, Missoula, MT, and Rutland, VT. I'm betting there are at least 30 new sites in the works where plans are being made in secret to bring the joys of multiculturalism to your neighborhood. The only way you or I will know if your town is next, is if it appears in a local news story like this one. And, you can bet you will not see any of this in the mainstream media or cable news!
You might want to visit 'Ten things your town needs to know' by clicking here.
***The major refugee contractor for both Rutland and Reno is the US Committee for Refugees and Immigrants (more to come on this!). Stay tuned!

I do not think the "refugees" are coming here to find work. Rather, they jump on welfare and gleefully join in the jihad against America.

An MP representing New Zealand at the Pacific Islands Trade Ministers Meeting in Samoa says it's important for Papua New Guinea to come to the table to discuss a regional trade and economic development agreement.
PNG's Minister for Trade, Commerce and Industry, Richard Maru, told Radio New Zealand International that they've withdrawn from any future discussions on the PACER Plus agreement.
But the private secretary for Foreign Affairs in New Zealand, John Hayes, says that doesn't appear to be PNG's official position, based on talks in the last 24 hours with a PNG representative in Samoa.
He told Bridget Tunnicliffe it's in everyone's interests to at least form part of the discussion.
JOHN HAYES: We want to engage in this because we think it's a way for facilitating the growth of trade between Pacific Forum countries. And that's, of course, important for creating jobs in Pacific economies - our own, as well.
BRIDGET TUNNICLIFFE: Papua New Guinea has voiced, or Richard Maru has voiced, concerns about what they would get out of the PACER Plus agreement. How are you going to convince these countries that it is going to be mutually beneficial?
JH: The PACER Plus agreement helps to facilitate trade, and I think it's really important for Papua New Guinea, as a part of the region, to be engaged in that process because of the size of its economy.
BT: One of the criticisms has been that it's just too one-sided and they're not going to get anything out of it, and Australia and New Zealand are the ones set to benefit. How can you convince them otherwise?
JH: Well, I don't think that's the case at all, and I also would feel that better to have a seat at the table and be putting on the table what you would like to get out of it than standing outside the room and having no say on what the rest of the Pacific is up to.
BT: Some members of the Melanesian Spearhead Group have talked about developing trade amongst themselves first, consolidating that before looking at the wider region, are you concerned that that attitude could undermine PACER Plus?
JH: As in Papua New Guinea, the region has a lot of diversity, and that gives us a unique strength. And I think it's more important for all of us in the region to work together, because doing that will help the interests of our small brothers who are not as well-endowed as Papua New Guinea, New Zealand, Australia or Fiji. We're a big region and we have a lot of large ocean space separated by a lot of sea, a lot of distance. And meetings like this help bring people together and help them to engage with each other. That's why I think these meetings are so important because of the tyranny of distance. What I think is really important is that as a region we remain a tight cohesive group and don't splinter. And whether you're living in Tahiti or you're living in Guam or you're living in Papua New Guinea, we're all part of the same Pacific ocean. And I think it's really important that we work as a group for the benefit of all of us. Because if we don't do that we just split our ability to deliver really good economic rewards, jobs, and those sort of things for the communities that we represent.

eBay may be a great tool for contemporary painters to sell their work online as the paintings usually only sell for hundreds or perhaps a few thousand at most. So investors can afford to take a risk on the work.
But when paintings start selling for very large sums, art collectors seem reluctant to gamble online. One high profile case of art fraud that didn't help the cause was back in 2000 when a Californian lawyer by the name of Kenneth Walton sold a fake Richard Diebenkorn painting for $135,805.
Basically, he played dumb and pretended that he found the work at a garage sale and helped the eBay auction along by getting his business partner to keep bidding on the work. It was eventually found to be a forgery signed by Walton, which got him plenty of media coverage and the attention of the FBI.
Anyway, now he has written a book (Fake: Forgery, Lies, & eBay) about it and seems to be cashing in on the whole eBay art auction scam. It's sad that a fraud can profit from his crime by writing a book about it, but such is life.
Here's some quotes by Kenneth Walton from an interview with the Wired magazine..
- My description of the Diebenkorn painting was just a complete fable to make me look like a hapless everyman rube who found this painting in his garage, didn't know it's by Diebenkorn and puts it up and there's these letters in the corner but he doesn't know to mention and they just happen to appear in the corner of one of the photographs.
- I was forced to quit selling on eBay and eBay banned me for life and I had to give up my law license, so I really didn't know what to do for my career.
- I don't know if I could necessarily call it redemptive. It was very cathartic, and it was a way for me personally to come to terms with what had happened. Even if no one buys it, it was great for me to go through the process of writing.
He also seems to be doing quite well according to his website over at kennethwalton.com (I couldn't bring myself to make the link live to his homepage as it felt like I was supporting an art fraud).

This is my reflective essay about what I have experienced in past 8 months. Last April, I was struggling with which university should I go, and now I have already completed over half of my course. Rethinking again the whole journey, I still found it amazing that I have got frustrated, tried, then eventually learnt something. Also, I met so many people with great passion and ambition. In my reflective essay, I will describe what I did and learnt from my course. (Not only design thinking module, since all of them are relevant) I will start with the story of my team, and how I changed my attitude toward my role, then rethink about the influence in my life.
Team up and early steps

No one can stay free and be dumb at the same time
I titled this hub - "No one can stay free and be dumb at the same time" for a good reason.
There is a segment of society that is willing to play dumb by not acknowleging the truth.Even if,it's staring them in the face.Money and power are the likely reasons.Maybe even fear.
How soon we forget,the statements of certain historical figures from our past.
President,Eisenhower,tried to warn us.when the military and American corporate interests got together and bypassed congressional,as well as presidential oversight.
President Kennedy,tried to warn us when he printed up unitedstates banknotes ,interest free.
President Lincoln,tried to warn us when he made the statement that he feared the banks more than standing armies.
president Wilson,tried to warn us when after he signed the federal Reserve act..
president Jackson tried to warn us when he tried to prevent the creation of a central bank..
president madison tried to warn us before the constitution was written.about the aristocracies of the world and big government.
president Jefferson tried to warn us when he wrote our constitution based on the principles of a free society that the worlds aristocracies tended to do with what they will.
president George Washington tried to warn us when he refused to become a king as he was a military leader and had the power to do with it what he wanted.
At least eight former presidents all tried to warn us. if,we fail to remember history,we are doomed to repeat it.How many times have I heard that?
A house divided cannot stand - Abraham Lincoln
Woodrow Wilson made the statement that he regreted having given control of our money to the Federal Reserve banks.
John Fitzgerald Kennedy gave a speech warning the American people against trusting their government to the extreme.He even demanded that we question our governments actions,without fear of reprisal.He,said,that he would not permit his religous beliefs to affect his public obligation to all the people,rather than the majority or minority.He understood the definition of a Republic as well as Democracy.A Republic meaning the majority was not perfect and the minority as long as it was representitive of a crossection of the people had the right and duty to make known their discontent,or disfavor of any law that it sees as not being constitutional,or even morally right according to their own character,be it for the better or worse.Hopefully for the better.The supreme court ,should take the same precautions when they make their decisions.Ultimately,it's up to the people as a whole,as they are the true power of a government.of a free people to change their government,to their liking.
We,certainly haven't seemed to form a more perfect union.We had one civil war,hopefully we can avoid another.Whatever we do,the world may follow suit,or they maynot.If,we could have stayed out of entanglements in foreign wars we would at least have come closer together as a civilization,maybe even have had a better future than what we've had so far.
Science seems to either be a curse or a blessing ,depending on how, when,or where we aquire it.
War has brought us medical advances at the cost of millions of,lives,both here and overseas.
Nasa ,has brought us spectacular advances in how we live our lives as well.
But,technology does us no good ,if we continue to be socially inept.Unable to live side by side with our neighbors,both here and abroad in a peaceful way,Without fear,greed and any other negative influences such as religious strife.or prejudice or those who feel superior to anyone else for any reason.
Hopefully their can be a different kind of transformation of America.
I agree with you whole hardly. The rich and the government have put us in a position only by God's grace and us getting smart will change, if we don't agree to change things are going to get bad.
JFK also warned against Secret Societies—shortly before he was assassinated. This is a great Hub. I enjoyed it very much. Thanks. But I must say that the 9-11 truthers are imbeciles. There is no way that is true anymore than the moon is made out of green cheese.
Good one someonewhoknows.. JFK not one of my favorites but he said,, from your article..
He even demanded that we question our governments actions,without fear of reprisal.
Reprisal can come in many forms, prison, slander,, denial of rights,, and we have seen many in our government using the power to issue reprisals against those who speak up and question the actions of our government. A government using the fear of reprisals, while ignoring response to those who dare question them. The dumbing down of America has been going on for years and 'dumb' is kicking the 'free'
out of 'freedom'!
Very interesting, thought provoking Hub. I have been researching stories on the "new world order" and the horrifying Bilderberg Group, but the videos you've provided open up another set of terrifying agendas. Talking of negative anti-progressive, anti-social brainwashing, let us not forget the power of the media via vehicles such as Limbaugh and the Fox News Networks. Thanks SomeoneW.K.
Hey, someonewhoknows, you did yourself proud with that Hub. I know the research and thinking that must have gone into that article. Good on you. I believe all you said, but you researched it and came out with it. Thanks for your important thoughts and statements and quotations from great people. Don White
Great videos following a fantastic show of research, the world should be listening to you, you do know as your name says! However as you pointed out, they have not had a very good track record of listening or of paying attention. Greed and personal agendas play much higher than fear in the roles played out by assuming ignorance. The other is overwhelmed and doubting in ourselves and one another that we can really make a difference. We can make a difference...by listening, asking and respecting one another is how it is done as you say! Shout it out the world needs to know we are all important together and the stuff is just stuff! Thumbs up, Sue!

A whole ten years in the making, SPQR Blues is finally being collected in graphic-novel format — as long as we can all help fund Carol Burrell's Kickstarter, that is!
If you haven't already read the comic (get started here!), here's a bit about the story:
SPQR Blues is set in ancient Rome in the years leading up to the eruption of Mount Vesuvius. I (aka Klio) began the webcomic ten years ago as part of relearning to draw after recovering from repetitive stress and nerve injury.
Ordinary guys need epics too: Rather than the more typical Roman epic about gladiators and orgies and imperial assassinations (not that there's anything wrong with that), it's about the lives of ordinary people in the city of Herculaneum, Pompeii's less famous neighbour–though there are the occasional murders, mysteries, banquets, and battles. Many of the characters are based on people who really lived in the town. Our hero Marcus Antonius Felix, the self-described descendent of a slave of the much more famous Marcus Antonius, arrives jobless, homeless, and missing his clothing, but carrying a lot of secrets. The first job he gets (after putting on some clothes) is as bodyguard for a wealthy teenage girl in danger, Petronia Iusta.
Subsequently: intrigue, murders, flashbacks, goddesses, star-crossed lovers, ursine intervention, more misplacement of clothing, heroic accountants, gambling, slave-dealing, swords, sandals, earthquakes, seven emperors, and a jug of wine.
On top of being a fantastic artist, writer, and editor, Carol's an all-round super person. Please take a second and have a look at her comic, and if you're able, make a pledge!

After doing this it booted it up from the dvd and installed Windows 2000 server sp3. After that we installed sp4 and wanted to install Windows 2008 on it. This is where we encountered an error. The installation went fine and the progress bar got the "complete installation" part. We waited for 4 and a half hours and it never moved. It just froze. So we aborted the installation.
After that we installed Windows 2003 server SP2. This had a different problem as the DVD drive could not auto run any dvd including the second Windows 2003 server install cd. So we could not install some additional components.
Also we could not upgrade to 2008 because it would not auto run, so we tried booting it directly from the cd. This led to the same error with the installation. We formated the disk with the system files and tried installing windows 2008 on a clear disk, and at 7% it threw out an error "Files on CD are corrupted". We downloaded a new ISO file from the Microsoft website, burnt a new cd, and tried it again. This time the same error was given at 3%.
If anyone has any ideas or previous experience with this problem we would appreciate any advice you guys can give us. Anything that we can try doing would be appreciated.
Thanks in Advance

Last week, I needed to read a screenplay written in the early 1970s. I think it's the earliest-dated script I've read that wasn't reprinted in a book.
It had clearly been typed. As in actually typed on a typewriter. Corrections had been made with a pen. I couldn't smell cigarette smoke on it — this was a photocopy — but I definitely got the sense that an ashtray had sat beside the typewriter as it was written.
On the page, it looked largely like current screenplays — elements had roughly the same margins — but there were some noticeable differences:
ANGLES (especially POVs) were called out and given their own scene numbers in ways we never would today.
Locations got much less writer attention. In this script, a kitchen is a kitchen. In today's scripts, every location gets at least a color line ("stainless steel and subway tiles, with an $8000 convection oven that's never been used.")
There were a lot of "AD LIBBED goodbyes" and such scattered throughout the script. You don't see that much today, even in projects that use ad-libbing. If a character has a speaking part, you write the lines.
By "evolution," I don't mean that screenwriting has gotten better, by the way. It's just gotten different, the way fashions change. Modern screenplays work very hard — too hard? — trying to make everything a fun read.
This script, at least, seemed much more interested in just getting it done:
Tom looks Barbara square in the eye. Barbara looks to Norman. After a beat, Norman stands and leaves.
PAN BACK to Barbara. She returns to her knitting.
It's not thrilling, but you know what you're going to see. There's a lot to be said for that.

The 2013-14 Leadership Walton class of the Walton Area Chamber of Commerce, comprised of 15 participants, has embarked on two community service projects this year and is seeking financial support for project completion.
The hands-on projects are designed to support two Walton County organizations, the Walton County Arc and the South Walton Senior Center, both established to help those in need, but that, many times, lack resources and labor to remedy those needs.
Businesses and individuals can support the leadership class with donations in any amount which are tax deductible and can be mailed to the Walton County Chamber Foundation, 63 South Centre Trail, Santa Rosa Beach, FL 32459 or contact Camile Burlison at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Leadership Walton class members chose to work with the Walton County Arc and the South Walton Senior Center to provide much needed renovations and critical updates to their facilities. The class focused on isolating specific needs and then strategizing ways to support the solutions through coordinating a plan of action, raising funds and organizing labor and physical work time. Leadership class members are in pursuit of aiding these worthy organizations mightily, not only by fulfilling immediate needs, but also by garnering local business and financial support for many years to come, thus leave a lasting, positive impact on the communities of Walton County.
Specifically, the Arc project work includes patching and painting the walls, replacing the old carpet and trim, installing base cabinets, and purchasing a wall mount television for one of its classrooms. The South Walton Senior Center Project involves updating office furnishings, installing shelving for print material, providing patio furniture and completing various smaller projects inside the office space.
At completion, an open house reception will be held at both locations to showcase the renovations and recognize the two valuable organizations.

Having multiple chromosomes with the deletions or duplications -- known as "copy-number variants" -- confers a substantially increased risk that an individual will experience developmental and neuropsychiatric disorders, researchers found.
For instance, children with two large copy-number variants -- exceeding 500 kb in size and of unknown clinical significance -- had eight times the risk for developmental delay and other abnormalities compared with controls (OR 8.16, 95% CI 5.33 to 13.07, P=2.11 × 10−38), Evan E. Eichler, PhD, of the University of Washington in Seattle, and colleagues reported online in the New England Journal of Medicine.
Although it has long been recognized that specific genetic abnormalities can have a range of phenotypic manifestations, it has now become clear that an individual variant can result in clearly distinct clinical disorders, ranging from schizophrenia to epilepsy.
"Although such copy-number variants confer a risk of disease, they may not be sufficient themselves to lead to a specific disease outcome, fueling speculation that additional risk factors may account for the variation," the researchers wrote.
They explained that they recently postulated a "two-hit" theory to explain how "the compound effect of a relatively small number of rare variants of large effect contributes to the heterogeneity of genomic disorders."
To explore this concept, the investigators analyzed more than 32,000 samples from children with various types of developmental delay, comparing them with more than 8,000 samples from unaffected controls. They used microarray-based comparative hybridization, which provides tools to identify rate events that may act as modifiers of a pathogenic gene mutation or of a chromosomal copy-number variation.
Of 72 genetic regions analyzed that were linked with genomic abnormalities or neurodevelopmental disorders, 23 were classified as causing syndromic disorders, in that they are characterized by a distinct group of clinical features.
An additional 40 of the copy-number variants were classified as having "phenotypic heterogeneity," in that they have been associated with a wide variety of developmental disorders and organ system involvement.
The remaining nine large variants were of unknown clinical significance.
When the investigators considered syndromic variants versus the phenotypically variable variants, they found a significant sex bias, with boys being preferentially affected by the phenotypically variable variants.
Next, when looking for second large variants, they identified them in 8.7% of the children -- in 113 of the boys and 87 of the girls, and a third large variant in 5.5%.
The second variants were more often identified in the children with phenotypically heterogeneous primary variants rather than in those with syndromic variants (OR 2.13, 95% CI 1.5 to 3.08, P=4.49 × 10−6).
Then, when the investigators considered only multiple variants that were of unknown significance, they found the eightfold greater likelihood of a developmental delay.
The reason why multiple variants were not often found in children with syndromic disorders was likely to be the clinical severity of those disorders, the investigators explained.
"The underrepresentation of second-site variants in the syndromic genomic disorders is probably due to negative selection (i.e., persons with syndromic disorders are already severely affected, and an additional imbalance of gene dosage is likely to be incompatible with life)," they wrote.
Additional analyses revealed that 72% of the second-site variants were inherited, more often from the mother (P=0.02).
"We propose that males, by virtue of carrying a single X chromosome, are already at least partially sensitized because of the inherent exposure to weakly deleterious mutations on the X chromosome. Thus, an average male will require fewer mutational events to cross the threshold to disease," they suggested.
The researchers concluded that these findings suggest that "rare and disruptive variants of large effect can contribute to different phenotypic outcomes, including intellectual disability, epilepsy, autism, and schizophrenia," and that the secondary variants "compound at the molecular level to modify the outcome and severity."
They predicted that this type of information ultimately may prove to be helpful in prognosis, but cautioned that these findings were based on cases that were clearly recognized as having neurodevelopmental disorders, which limits the utility for prenatal genetic testing at this time.
In an editorial accompanying the study, Han G. Brunner, MD, of Radbout University in Nijmegen, the Netherlands, agreed that research such as this will be clinically helpful in the future.
"We can look forward to further improvements in our understanding of the variation in genetic disease, which will in turn permit physicians to better inform their patients about the cause of their condition, its prognosis, and the therapy that is most likely to benefit them," Brunner stated.
The study was supported by the Simons Foundation Autism Research Initiative and the National Institutes of Health.
Three of the investigators were employees of Signature Genomics/PerkinElmer, and several others reported financial relationships with Yerkes, GeneDx, SynapDx, DNAnexus, Integragen, and Pacific Biosciences.

Some Thoughts on Guadalajara, Travel and Life
Hotel San Franciso
My Journey through Five Airports and One Mexican City
I am on a plane looking out at the mountainous terrain of what I believe to be Kentucky. Maybe. To my right sit the older couple from New Jersey who compelled me to think, "I do not want to die next to these weirdos.", earlier in the flight. Strange how the idea lacked emotion or concern for death. I will soon be in Houston Texas for the first time ever. I am embarking on a journey to Guadalajara, Mexico - though so far I have seen mostly snow. Not in my home state of Maine. When I left Portland it was raining. But in New York. I spent a day and half waiting for it to stop snowing at LaGuardia. It snowed for thirty hours and they got almost two feet of accumulation. Unbelievable.
Kudos to the people of Texas for building the nicest airport I have ever been in. It is amazing. Clean and efficient, filled with friendly people and bright sunshine. They have an amazing tram system that links all the different gates. I ate a black bean burrito in a little shop near my gate. A beautiful and bored looking Mexican girl brought it to me. I notice all the men in Houston are short and broad and look like the kind of fellows you'd like to drink bourbon in a dance hall with. Loud laughter and wide butts.
The flight to Mexico is amazing. Due to delays and missed connections I end up landing at the Airoporto de Guadalajara at 11pm. The moon is full and and is as large and clear as wonder itself. La Luna. I am in awe of this scene when the women next to me says something in spanish. I turn, she is small and dark and has bright pink lipstick. She has two gold teeth which glint with cold white moonlight. "Mi Madre es morte." I stare at her, alarmed. Two tears trail down her plump cheeks, leaving silver tracks in the unreal light pouring through the tiny portal of a window. I glean from some rapid fire spanish she throws at me that her mother is dead, has died recently, and that she is traveling to Guadalajara for the funeral. She cries gently as she speaks, and I touch her arm and say, "Lo siento."
Customs, a concern from the git-go, was no problemo. Despite the late hour everyone is friendly and the process is clear. No one makes fun of my exhuasted "Hola! Como Esta!" I get the first stamp in my new passport book. Jalisco, Mexico. It is beautiful. I exchange my money - $100 dollars gets me about 1200 pesos. I am unsure of what this will mean, but it looks promising. I walk out into the cool night and am whistled and hollered at by about twenty taxi drivers, one swoops over and hustles me into his car. He is large and plump and looks a bit like Cheech Martin. I give him the name and address of the hotel in my slow concise spanish and we are off. He drives a hundred miles an hour with incredible skill. The city is a jumble of metal, wood, billboards,graffiti, scrubby trees, abandoned shopfronts, white walls and people. My hotel, Hotel San Francisco is in the historic center of the city on a narrow stone street across from a stone courtyard with a fountain. Next door is Sol Sexi's Bar, which is bursting with noise, laughter, shrieking and people. It is now almost 1 Am.
Like Nothing I've Seen or Felt Before
My time in the city center of guadalajara was amazing and life changing. The weather was wonderful, cool in the morning, bright sunshine and clear sky's, working its way up to hot by 2pm and then as the sun sank low it cooled slowly back into the upper 40s. The people were kind and beautiful, there were so many plump laughing babies I lost count. Everywhere there was history, in the buildings, courtyards, fountains, and the streets themselves. Hundreds of vendors sold every product imaginable. Musicians roamed about along with mimes, acrobats, and armed military. Outside the historic and commerce center the buildings and people changed. There was a stronger homeless presence, more empty shopfronts, stripped vehicles, and garbage, but even there the people were friendly, no one paid me much mind. Walking to El Panteon de Belen, an old and amazing graveyard outside the city central, I saw a park filled with homeless people. They hung their clothes on trees and bushes, had blankets and possessions strewn about. But even here in the park I saw an old man laying in the grass holding aloft a dirty chubby baby. He spoke gently to it and hoisted it higher and the baby laughed and laughed, waving fat arms around and the man laughed, his toothless grin joyous and momentarily unencumbered by his residency in a filthy park.
Sometimes walking the streets I smell pee, sometimes a strong smell like sticking your head into a big bag of dog kibble, and sometimes the wind brings the sweet scent of orange blossoms from the orange trees that line the avenues. Mixed in with these standbys are the smells of cooking food, wonderful, and the many scents worn by the Mexican men. Hair tonic, cologne, I don't know what, but these guys smell really good. Strong, but good. I can't stop looking; at the balconies, fountains, musicians, children, and people. The sun is hot and wonderful. The food is amazing and cheap.
My travels home are exhausting and incomprehensible. I end up at four different airports in less then fourteen hours. I am at one point starving to death and forced to subsist on a glass of cran-apple juice containing at best four ounces of actual juice and two packages of pretzels, both slightly larger then sugar packets and a quarter full of pretzels of the stick variety broken into pieces not much bigger then tic tacs. Another moment in time finds me wishing dead what I had thought to be a beautiful and angelic baby. It's capacity for high pitched caterwauling is beyond anything I have ever known. I eventually reach Newark New Jersey and find myself eating some soup and drinking Bass ale next to a large red faced man who is telling me about how his cousin got pulled over by a helicopter ( am I even hearing him right? He is speaking english, but...) going 180mph on the turnpike in Connecticut. "Right," I say, "you got to watch out for that." I am thinking of Hallowell, Maine in a way I never have before, with frank and limitless love and longing. I've always liked my home, but now it seems to me to be the softest and loveliest of places where everyone understands me and where I know just what to do and say, and where I am free to do and say nothing at all if I like. Home.
- Five Surprisingly Bad Books
There are a lot of bad books out there. There are writers who have devoted their lives and the lives of publishers, editors, readers, and paper companies to the creation of vapid trash so terrible it serves...
- A Visit to the Topless Coffee Bar in Vassalboro ME
Saturday at 3 in the afternoon I walked into the "lobby" of the Topless Coffee Bar in Vassalboro Maine. I looked to my left and there stood a girl of about 22, tan, topless and smiling. I turned to my friend,...
Oh Eryne, this was a wonderful photographic description of your journey. Sounds great. I'm slightly jealous... It reminds me of my trip through Europe, which was incredibly freeing and yes, makes one appreciate home so much.
I love reading your writing. It speeps me away as I read each word, sentence, and paragraph. I know you will have so much fun and it is so neat to read about your journey on this page! Keep us informed of the action and remember to be careful but have the time of your life!!!!!

V larcotte The Lumberjack NAU students had their cries heard when more than 500 students protested Arizona state legislature house bill 2594. which in part proposed the restriction of opposite-gender visitation in state university residence halls. The bill, first presented to the Arizona state legislature by Representative Jean M cGrath-R of Glendale, was defeated in committee, said Paul Peterson. Associated Students o f NAU president. According to the Arizona Legislature, house bill 2594 was defeated in the Committee of the W hole by a vote o f 34 to 17. Nine legislators did not vote on the bill. "I am truly amazed at the response [to this proposal] by NAU students/' Peterson said. "More than 500 students sent e-mails to state legislators through the service that ASNAU set up." Peterson, who attended the legisla tiv e lu n c h eo n h o sted by ASNAU on Tuesday, spoke with several representatives who expressed their pleasure with the NAU student response. "Several representatives told me they were impressed with the amount of involvement by NAU students," Peterson said. "They said they were impressed that the students had spoken so loudly." Peterson was accompanied by more than 60 NAU students to the luncheon, held at the state capitol. "1 am really impressed with the students at NAU," Peterson said. '•When ASNAU held the Day o f A ction, students already knew about the McGrath bills. All they needed to know was what else they could do. "NAU students proved through this effort that they are truly activists. They protected the student voice and student rights." Web registration available for fall L uke B.

Pre-registration for fall begins March 13 and students are still encouraged to fill out the standard forms and obtain signatures on time. However, beginning April 24, some students will be able to register for fall classes via the web. " Having the new web registration process, among other steps, is the last piecc being put in place that allows the elim ination o f arena registration." said Patrick M artin, university registrar. Martin said the whole idea was to make web registration so simple students won't need a training session. Students were surveyed to make sure the process was simple. A signature will no longer be required for students to register or drop and add classes. The signature will be replaced by adviser action. Pre-registered students who meet certain qualifications will be permitted to register via the web April 24. No honor students are exempt from meeting with advisers. Any student who wishes to register on the web without meeting with an adviser must have earned more than 29 hours at NAU, have a grade point average greater than 2.49 and have declared a major. Any student who does not meet the criteria will be exempt from web registration until they meet with an adviser. The adviser will enter a code into the program certifying she or he has met with the student, which will allow the student to register on the web.

I was born to laugh
I learned to laugh through my tears
I was born to love
I'm gonna learn to love without fear
Pour me a glass of wine
Talk deep into the night
Who knows what we'll find
Intuition, deja vu
The Holy Ghost haunting you
Whatever you got
I don't mind
Put your elbows on the table
I'll listen long as I am able
There's nowhere I'd rather be
Secret fears, the supernatural
Thank God for this new laughter
Thank God the joke's on me
We've seen the landfill rainbow
We've seen the junkyard of love
Baby it's no place for you and me
I was born to laugh
I learned to laugh through my tears
I was born to love
I'm gonna learn to love without fear
Lyrics to "Born" by Over the Rhine
Yep, you can expect to see lots of OTR's lyrics- some of the most beautiful poetry of our era!
I could write a blog post on almost every stanza of this song.
My favorites- "laugh through the tears" which describes the paradoxes of life. To recognize the eternal sadness of this earth while clinging to the joy of the real eternity!
My second favorite the combo of "put your elbows on table" just relegates the true friendship on earth found in those who get comfy & prop their heads in their hands and listen long after they are able. Makes me very appreciative for the handful of people that I can "put my elbows on the table with"- metaphorically, of course..

Sources within the IDF and journalists who were present at the main military Second Hakafot ceremony were surprised Sunday to read a report that 100 female soldiers had left the event after being forced into a fenced off area. According to the report in the ultra-leftist Haaretz, religious officers made the women move out of the area where the hakafot were being held.
"This is a false report that is intended to besmirch the religious establishment within the IDF," a military source told Arutz Sheva. "For years, Haaretz has been trying to damage the IDF Rabbinate and its head. The newspaper can keep slinging mud and we will continue to work for all of the IDF's soldiers."
The IDF Spokesman said: "As usual in these events, every year, there is an area defined as being for women only and a separate area defined as being for men only. No official representative of the IDF was instructed to ensure that separation between men and women was indeed in place. The IDF Rabbinate is unfamiliar with some of the claims made and will look into the matter in the coming days."
The row follows another recent high-profile dispute involving female soldiers and religious male soldiers, in which several religious cadets were thrown out of Officers' Course. Militant feminists within the IDF are at loggerheads with the national-religious soldiers, as the two groups represent opposing values. On the one hand, Torah values see the two sexes as qualitatively different and put am emphasis on modesty and creation of families; on the other hand, militant feminist values oppose the "patriarchal" family and teach that differences between the sexes are not natural but culturally imposed "oppression" that must be fought.
While the Zionist religious establishment generally frowns on female service in the military, preferring no service or National Service in its stead, militant feminists are divided between those who believe that women should serve in male units, and those who oppose the entire IDF as a male organization and call on people of both sexes not to serve in it.

Chapter VII.
Of an illusion into which another fell for lack of discretion.
Why also should I speak of one (whose name we had rather not mention as he is still alive), who for a long while received a devil in the brightness of an angelic form, and was often deceived by countless revelations from him and believed that he was a messenger of righteousness: for when these were granted, every night he provided a light in his cell without the need of any lamp. At last he was ordered by the devil to offer up to God his own son who was living with him in the monastery, in order that his merits might by this sacrifice be made equal to those of the patriarch Abraham. And he was so far seduced by his persuasion that he would really have committed the murder unless his son had seen him getting ready the knife and sharpening it with unusual care, and looking for the chains with which he meant to tie him up for the sacrifice when he was going to offer him up; and had fled away in terror with a presentiment of the coming crime.
