I've been doing some researching, and the weather forecasts I've seen for England are actually pretty reassuring. Reassuring in the sense that I already know what I'm in for. It rained 3 days last week and it's been damp since then. I'm used to the wet-cold so I think I'll be able to handle it pretty well. Lots of layers of knits, long sleeves, and jackets are necessities. These picks, except for the umbrella and the Hunter wellies are from Gap & Old Navy, two of my favourite stores. The 1969 jeans are well worth the money, even though I always manage to find them on sale :)

Shipp's stated aim is that rarefied realm where verbal and written descriptors fail, subsumed by the primacy of organized sound, spontaneous and of the moment. Whether he reaches that space is always arguable both on the part of artist and audience, but this compact and intensely contemplative set suggests an exemplar of success in that regard. In Shipp's typically succinct and germane summation: "I did feel very good about the flow that I felt I got."

She is assisted by Kelly Mathis (Pfeiffer '09), who is in her first season. Against the field this week, King is 14-1 versus Hollins, 4-11 against Roanoke College and 6-11 versus Bridgewater College.
W&L will face a trio of ODAC opponents this week, hosting Hollins on Tuesday before traveling to Roanoke College on Friday and Bridgewater College on Saturday. All-time, the Generals are 29-6 against Hollins, 4-29 versus Roanoke and 7-26 against Bridgewater.
The Friday and Saturday contests against Roanoke and Bridgewater represent the second of three back-to-back games for W&L this season. In seven seasons under Head Coach Mandy King, the Generals have played in 32 back-to-back sets, with a 14-18 mark in the first game and a 16-16 ledger in the second. This is the second time this season W&L will face Roanoke and Bridgewater on consecutive days, as the Generals have gone 0-1 in the first and 1-0 in the second games.
LAST TIME OUT (vs. Emory & Henry - Jan. 29, W, 78-61)
Senior guard Allie Long scored a career-high 22 points while tying a program record for most three-pointers made in a game as W&L rolled past Emory & Henry, 78-61, on Saturday. E&H started the contest strong, going 5-for-5 from the field in the opening 4:10 to claim its largest lead of the contest, seven points (12-5), at the 15:50 mark. The Wasps maintained their lead until a jumper by W&L junior forward Becca Bolton tied the contest at 25-25 with 8:05 remaining in the opening stanza. E&H senior guard Christina Howard tallied 11 of her team-high 19 points during the span, going 4-of-6 from the field, including 2-for-3 from deep. The Generals pulled away over the final 7:30 of the first half, using a 20-1 run while shooting 8-for-13 from the field to assume a 45-26 advantage at the break. Over the span, W&L held E&H to just one point off a free throw by first-year guard Jalan McPherson while forcing 11 Wasp turnovers. W&L held the Wasps scoreless over the opening 2:26 of the second half, extending its lead to 27 points (53-26) at the 17:34 mark and cruising to its fifth-consecutive victory over the Wasps. For the game, W&L shot 41.2 percent (28-68) while registering 14 steals and forcing 22 E&H turnovers. The Wasps were 24-for-55 (43.6%) from the field, and were out-rebounded by the Generals, 44-29. Long finished the contest shooting 6-for-10 from deep (60.0%), setting a personal-best for treys made in a contest while also tying the program record that had occurred on two other occasions. Sophomore forward Katy Wilson added 12 points and a game-high nine rebounds, while senior center Felice Herman chipped in 10 points and six boards.
LAST TIME vs. HOLLINS (W, 78-58, Nov. 29, 2010)
Washington and Lee shot 53.8 percent (14-26) from the floor in the second half and used a 14-0 run immediately following the break to post a 78-58 victory over Hollins. The Generals held Hollins to just 33.3 percent (8-24) shooting from the field in recording a 34-26 lead following the opening 20 minutes. W&L then used the aforementioned surge to register a commanding 22-point lead (48-26) at the 16:47 mark. Senior center Felice Herman notched five points during the run, while sophomore forward Katy Wilson contributed four points. The W&L lead swelled to as many as 29 points (70-41) following a layup by junior guard Meg Ingram and a free throw by sophomore forward Rachel Warrick with 9:28 to play as the Generals went on to defeat Hollins for the 13th-straight time. Ingram paced the Generals with a game-high 23 points on 9-of-16 shooting from the field, including 4-of-7 from beyond the arc. Hollins was led by sophomore guard Lacie Forrest and first-year guard Carrie Cox, who totaled 12 points apiece.
HU is currently 5-12 on the season, while posting a 3-10 mark in conference play. The team is coming off an 82-64 win over Randolph College on Saturday, as five players scored double-digit points in the contest. Sophomore guard Jasmine Greene (17), sophomore guard Lacie Forrest (14), first-year guard Brandi Chesne (12), senior guard Tamara Philips (11) and first-year forward Molly Tahmaseb (11) all finished with double-digit points, as HU also forced 33 WildCat turnovers while tallying 19 steals. For the season, HU is led by Greene, who has team-highs in points (15.7), rebounds (7.5) and assists (3.5).
W&L has won the previous 13 meetings dating back to the 2003-04 season, while HU has not won at the Warner Center since the 2002-03 season. During the span, the Generals have outscored Hollins by an average of +33.4 points (1,045-611) while posting a +28.3 margin (521-323) in Lexington. Shooting percentages between the two squads vary greatly during the W&L winning streak, with the Generals shooting 46.4 percent (411-885) from the field, while HU has shot just 31.6 percent (213-674). W&L also boasts five players on its roster averaging double-digit points against Hollins in their careers, including junior forward Becca Bolton (15.3), junior guard Meg Ingram (13.4), junior forward Kari Ann Pfannenstein (11.2), senior center Felice Herman (11.0) and sophomore foward Rachel Warrick (10.3).
LAST TIME vs. ROANOKE (L, 68-61, Jan. 7, 2011)
W&L jumped out to a 24-5 lead in the opening 8:49 of the game, but Roanoke College recovered to post a 68-61 win over the Generals at the Warner Center. Junior guard Meg Ingram scored 16 of her game-high 19 points in the game opening run, including three-straight triples to give W&L a 9-0 lead just 2:11 into the contest. The Generals held a 16-point lead (30-14) with 6:59 left in the opening stanza, but a 15-1 run cut the advantage to just two points (31-29) with 24 seconds left in the half. Junior forward Kari Ann Pfannenstein canned a three-pointer with 12 seconds left to give W&L a 34-29 lead at the break. Washington and Lee held the lead until junior center Nikki Moats hit a layup with 16:45 left to give the Maroons a 37-36 lead, their first lead in the game. The Generals remained within seven points for the better part of the second stanza, but could get no closer than four points (60-56) when senior center Felice Herman split a pair of free throws with 3:05 left in the game as Roanoke defeated W&L for the third-straight time. Joining Ingram in double figures for W&L were junior forward Becca Bolton and senior guard Allie Long. Bolton totaled 11 points, while Long posted 10 points, seven rebounds and four steals. Roanoke was paced by senior guard Kendra Porter, who notched 16 points and five steals. Moats totaled 15 points, 12 of which came in the second half, and grabbed 11 rebounds.
Roanoke currently stands second in the conference, posting a 10-1 record in ODAC play and an 11-4 overall mark. The Maroons will travel to face Bridgewater College on Tuesday before hosting the Generals on Friday. This season, RC is led by junior center Nikki Moats, who is averaging 15.8 points, 10.5 rebounds and 3.1 blocks per game, with her rebounding and block averages also ranking tops in the ODAC. Senior guard Rebecca Bays leads the squad with an average of 4.1 assists per game, while senior guard Kendra Porter has chipped in a team-high 2.7 steals per game. Senior forward Jordan Gholson leads the ODAC, shooting 54.6 percent (77-141) from the field. As a team, RC also ranks tops in several categories, including averaging 4.9 blocks per game while shooting 44.6 percent (383-858) from the field and 37.4 percent (76-203) from deep. However, the Maroons seem to struggle from the free throw line, shooting just 63.7 percent (181-284), the ninth-best percentage in the conference.
Roanoke has claimed the previous three meetings, with the last W&L victory coming on Feb. 20, 2009 in Salem (65-54). For their careers against Roanoke, junior guard Meg Ingram is averaging 14.6 points per game, while junior forward Becca Bolton has posted an average of 11.4 points per game. Ingram is also averaging an impressive 15.0 points per game at the Bast Center, the only current W&L player to post double-digit averages on the road against Roanoke.
LAST TIME vs. BRIDGEWATER (W, 87-67, Jan. 8, 2011)
W&L shot a season-best 51.9 percent (28-54) from the field while tying a school record with 12 three pointers, as it cruised to an 87-67 victory over Bridgewater at the Warner Center. W&L jumped out to an 8-2 lead, but a 9-0 run gave the Eagles an 11-8 lead with 14:45 remaining in the opening stanza. However, the Generals turned the tables, going on a 24-4 run over the next 6:16, eventually grabbing a 17-point advantage (32-15) with 8:39 remaining. During the run, W&L went 8-of-12 from the floor, including 5-of-7 from behind the arc with treys from four different Generals. W&L allowed Bridgewater to get no closer than eight points (40-32) with 1:48 remaining, and entered the half with a 45-32 advantage. Bridgewater mounted a comeback to start the second half, fueled by six points from senior guard Jordan Burkholder and four points from sophomore forward Katelynn Hottinger, pulling to within two points (50-48) with 13:07 remaining in the contest. However, W&L was sent to the line on four of its next eight possessions, hitting all eight charity tosses in extending its lead to 13 points (66-53) at the 7:50 mark en route to claiming its third-consecutive victory over the Eagles. W&L was paced by four players in double figures, including junior guard Meg Ingram who finished the contest with 17 points, nine assists and four rebounds. Junior forward Becca Bolton tallied 16 points and a game-high nine rebounds, while junior forward Kari Ann Pfannenstein finished with 15 points and sophomore forward Katy Wilson chipped in 10 points and eight boards. The Eagles were led by sophomore guard Jessica Mullen's game-high 19 points. Burkholder finished with 17 points, while Hottinger tallied 15 points.
The Eagles currently reside in third place in the ODAC, posting a 14-3 overall record and a 9-3 conference mark. BC has three conference games on its slate this week, hosting Roanoke on Tuesday before traveling to Hollins on Friday and then returning home to host the Generals on Saturday. Senior guard Jordan Burkholder currently ranks tops in the conference, averaging 19.2 points and 5.4 steals per game. She recently became BC's all-time leading scorer after netting 23 points against Lynchburg last Friday, bringing her career total to 1,608 points. Sophomore forward Katelynn Hottinger has posted team-best averages in blocks (2.2) and rebounds (6.8), and junior guard Jenny Logan is averaging 3.6 assists per contest. Additionally, BC leads the conference in points (74.4), steals (15.2) and assists (15.6) per game, while shooting an ODAC-best 74.0 percent (302-408) from the free-throw line.
W&L has claimed the last three meetings between the two squads, its longest winning streak all-time against BC. One key factor over the three-game span has been the play of junior forward Becca Bolton, who is averaging 18.0 points and 13.7 rebounds per game. Three other Generals have also posted double-digit point averages during the streak, including junior guard Meg Ingram (14.3), junior forward Kari Ann Pfannenstein (11.7) and senior center Felice Herman (11.0). Bolton has posted impressive career numbers against the Eagles: in six contests she is averaging 18.8 points and 12.5 rebounds per game, scoring 20 or more points on three occasions while posting double-digit rebounds in four of the six contests.
Senior guard Allie Long has taken a majority of her shots from beyond the arc this season, with 79 of her 93 shot attempts coming from deep. This season, she is shooting 35-of-79 (.443) from three-point range, the best percentage on the team. Against Emory & Henry last Saturday, Long went 6-for-10 from deep, tying a program record for most treys in a game, while also setting a career high for most three-point shots made. The Generals are 7-1 when she shoots 50.0 percent or better from three in a contest. For her career, Long has taken 69.0 percent (289-419) of her shots from deep while shooting 30.8 percent (89-289).
Four of the Generals' five starters have seen their fair share of time on the court this season, as junior guard Meg Ingram, senior guard Allie Long, sophomore forward Katy Wilson and junor forward Kari Ann Pfannenstein all rank in the Top-10 in the conference for minutes played. Ingram is second in the ODAC with 581 minutes, while Long stands fourth (569), Wilson fifth (563) and Pfannenstein seventh (546). All four also average over 30.0 minutes per game: Ingram with 34.2, Long at 33.5, Wilson at 33.1 and Pfannenstein totaling 32.1 minutes per game.
Junior Meg Ingram is leaving her mark on W&L basketball as she continues to climb the Top 10 all-time career scoring leaders this season. Ingram currently resides in eighth place on the scoring list with 1,060 points, 20 points from the seventh position (1,080 pts.) owned by Chrissy Burghardt '99. Ingram also continues to climb the career assists leaderboard, as she is currently third with 294 helpers, and is now 75 helpers shy of second place, which is held by Louisa Feve '06. Junior forward Becca Bolton also joined the Top 10 all-time scorers this season, and currently resides in ninth place with 879 points. As both Ingram and Bolton continue to climb the charts, here is a look at the W&L all-time leading scorers:
1. Jessica Mentz, '02 - 1,742 6. Ansley Miller, '00 - 1,165
2. Jessica Hunsinger, '07 - 1,455 7. Chrissy Burghardt, '99 - 1,080
3. Kristen Krouchick, '08 - 1,323 8. Meg Ingram - 1,060

Arrest made in beating of Alabama man
Police have arrested a suspect in the beating of a white Alabama man by a throng of African-Americans, officials told FoxNews.com.
Terry Rawls, 44, has been arrested and was charged with first-degree assault. Rawls and victim Matthew Owens have had an ongoing feud dating back to 2009, according to Chad Tucker, a spokesman for the Mobile County District Attorney's Office.
No additional information was immediately released. Police in Mobile were planning to release additional information later Wednesday.
Owens, of Mobile, Ala., was assaulted with baseball bats, paint cans and other weapons at about 8:30 p.m. Saturday after telling a group of children to stop playing basketball in the middle of Delmar Drive, according to Ashley Rains, public information officer for the Mobile Police Department.
After the children left the area, a group of adults armed with weapons returned and confronted Owens, 40, in his front yard, where he was assaulted. Owens' sister, Ashley Parker, told WKRG she witnessed the attack and that there were as many as 20 assailants. Parker said she overheard one of them say, "Now that's justice for Trayvon."
Trayvon Martin, 17, is the unarmed teenager who was fatally shot Feb. 26 in Sanford, Fla. George Zimmerman, who has been charged with second-degree murder in Martin's death, went into hiding Monday as he awaits trial. Emotions ran high as six weeks passed before Zimmerman was charged, leading many African-American community leaders to decry what they perceived as racism in the justice system.

"You are a good man" – he said, looking at me, nervously stroking his red tie, as if to straighten it further – "I just don't understand the way you see the world."
"What do you mean?" – I asked, sincerely curious.
"Well, you can't run a business and be so gentle and calm."
"Why not?"
"It's just not how the world works."
I thought about it on my way home from the meeting, his words still resonating within my mind. It touched a spot, what he said. I have been thinking about it a lot in the last few years, and sometimes even felt he was right. But, as much as I have changed over the years, and as much as I hope to change in the future, some things remain the same. My heart is still opened. My eyes are still in awe, always finding new beauty everywhere. My mind is still curious and joyful of each new project or idea. It's just a part of what makes me me.
Is it true, then? Being gentle is a flaw in the world today? Being kind is an obstacle to success? The world really less opened hearts and more closed minds? Is the only way to be successful really by adopting the same point of view that made the world today what it is?
The moment of doubt quickly passed. The truth is obvious, once you realize it's easy to be close-minded and ignorant of other people and their emotions, needs and beauty.
I will not apologize for being kind. I will not even consider being "strong" if it means closing my heart. I will not stop believing in people and focusing on their kindness, even if they themselves are unaware of it. Why should I feel out of place in this world? Because I see people as fundamentally good? Because I see the world as a playground designed to make us all aware of our perfection? Because I ignore ignorant individuals who rose to the top by ruthlessly destroying dreams of hundreds of people who happened to stand between them and their goals? Because I don't want "success" if the price for it is my own heart; if I need to erase the smile from my face or, worse still, replace it with a false, empty one?
What kind of a success is that, anyway? Shallow and sad – to strive for something material and then fear every day because somewhere deep inside we do understand it is all fragile and inevitably short-lived. To spend most of our lives blind and ignorant to the needs of others, because "that's how the world works". Eat or be eaten, where everyone is a potential enemy.
Maybe the world really works that way but, if it does, it does so because we broke it temporarily. We created false values and buried our natural kindness and love under the gravel of fear and greed.
I will not be a part of such a world, but I will not run or hide either. Nor will I apologize for keeping my heart exposed and opened, in business and privately, even if that makes me weak in the eyes of majority. I don't care.
I know I am not alone.
Kind hearts are usually quiet and shy, but they inevitably gravitate towards each other. The world is changing, and every act of kindness, every honest hug, every sincere smile, every positive action becomes a fabric this new world is made of. I, for one, wish to contribute to that, with every project I start, with every idea I have, with every person I meet, through business or personally, it makes no difference to me.
And I know I'm not the only one.

I have been researching this company and their products for quite a while. I plan on using this Zt-2 system in my car as I go from NA to turbo along with the AEM FIC. these two componants basically give you all the control and accuracy of a stand alone EMS with the safety net of the stock base MAP. this way, even a beginner can tune very accuartely without worrying about going too far out of range. the ZT-2 is also going into our other project cars, Turbo Lancer with Split Second piggyback and Turbo Integra with Hondata EMS.
the ZT-2 and AEM FIC together are a fraction of the price of a stand alone and all the guages and sensors that are built in and/or included in these two products.
there are several systems and guage options available from Zietronix, the ones I suggest are the ZT-2 and the LCD multi guage display. the Hacker/Tweaker AFR Display is a great addition as well.
Fallow the link to read more about the ZT-2 Zietronix ZT-2
here are a few of the items that I think would best fit our use.
-Zt-2 Wideband Controller and Datalogging System (no guage - for use with PC) MSRP $279.00 ($239.00 -L1 / $210.00 -L2)
-Zt-2 + LCD Display Bundle (complete kit) MSRP $399.00 ($340.00 -L1 / $300.00 -L2)
-Hacker/Tweaker AFR Display (for use with or without LCD display) MSRP $79.00 ($68.00 -L1 / $60.00 -L2)
-MAP, Boost Sensor, (50 PSI / 3.5 Bar) 25.5 inHg (vacuum) to 35.3 PSI MSRP $119.00 ($102.00 -L1 / $90.00 -L2)
-Oil/ Fuel Pressure Sensor (150 PSI / 10 Bar) MSRP $129.00 ($110.00 -L1 / $98.00 -L2)
-Exhaust Gas Temperature Probe MSRP $89.00 ($77.00 -L1 / $68.00 -L2)
to get the Level 1 (L1) price i need to reach a buy in of $2000.00 to get the Level 2 (L2) prices I need to reach a buy in of $3000.00
I think we can reach that goal in a group buy. for helping with the buy in we'll also discount the AEM piggyback FIC and stand alone EMC's
-Fuel & Ignition Controller Universal F/IC 6 #30-1910 MSRP $427.37 ($335.98)
-Fuel & Ignition Controller Universal F/IC 8 #30-1930 MSRP $623.01 ($465.80)
-EMS-4 Universal Standalone Engine Management System #30-6905 MSRP $843.34 ($630.64)
-Series 2 Plug & Play Engine Management System OBD 2 Honda #30-6030 MSRP $1,432.14 ($1,130.46)
thank you,

Chariots of Prophetic Fire: Studies in Elijah and Elisha
by Rushdoony, Rousas John•
Ross House Books 2003
There is a marked resemblance between our time and that of Elijah and Elisha. Chariots of Prophetic Fire shows how many of today's Christians are again guilty of Baal worship, loose morals due to inflation-fed prosperity, and syncretism. Once again, as in the days of Elijah and Elisha, it is considered virtuous to tolerate evil and condemn those who do not.
In Chariots of Prophetic Fire, Rousas John Rushdoony challenges today's church to resist compromise in the face of expediency and to realize that power does not lie in politics or governments but in God's men of faith. Rushdoony encourages readers to take a stand of faith for God's truth in a culture of falsehoods.
With the Logos edition of the Chariots of Prophetic Fire you can take advantage of extensive linking, advanced search functions, and a myriad of other powerful tools. Accessing commentaries, topical studies, and theological studies in your digital library is now easier than ever!
Key Features

Would someone mind explaining to me how it is possible for any state/city/townshiip/etc, to pass any kind of law/bill/ordinance that infringes on our 2A constitutionally guaranteed right?
I'm not trying to start any arguments here, or go on any rampage, I just genuinely dont understand how this works. From what I thought I understood, the contstitution trumps everything. How can anyone say that I cannot keep/bare/carry arms in a bar, concert, a school, or how about a federal installation? None of these elements have any power over the constitution.
Of the list you gave the only restrictions would be the bars and concerts (if held on private property). Owners do have the right to say no guns on their property. As for governments regulating these things the fight continues.
Worse yet, the "power" is to reside in the states, and the people (10th amendment). I don't know about you all but I'm not feeling especially empowered these days. I feel more like we have a ruling aristocracy which is hell-bent on telling us all how to live.

It all starts at the top, the right to do anything and everything either exists or it does not. If it exists, it must exist in isolation from the cooperation of any other individual, else, they are not individual rights, they are group/collective rights, if they are rights at all. I know a lot of people here would call these "god-given" rights. As I am a devout atheist, I prefer the language "natural" rights. Whatever you call them, they have to start at the top.
Now, where is the top? In a Libertarian world, the top is the individual, the citizen, the natural person, the human level. From there, the individual enumerates powers from their own rights in the form of the authorities they grant to their local governments.
From those delegated powers, the local governments organized into states, and from those delegated state powers, the states formed the federal government. That's the top down in the Libertarian world.
In the Authoritarian world, the top is the federal government, who allows the states to enjoy what powers the federal government can't be arsed with, and from the state governments, they empower cities and counties to exercise what powers the state governments can't bother with, and whatever is left over, the individual can use.
If you live in the Authoritarian world, it makes sense when you say, "Repeal the 2nd Amendment and there will be no more guns." If you live in the Libertarian world, saying repeal the 2nd Amendment means there will be no more gun laws.
In general, this question forms around the nexus of constitutions, the federal constitution and the state constitutions. What is permitted, to whom, by whom, and for how many peanuts? The Federal Constitution, properly read, is a simple list of enumerated powers. If it ain't enumerated, it ain't a power the federal government has. Problem is, a lot of people who read laws/constitutions are scoundrels, and illiterate scoundrels at that.
There are clauses such as the Commerce Clause that are misread 8 ways to Sunday to allow Congress to freely exercise unlimited dictatorial control over anything and everything in the United States of America, provided they are able to use the simple expedient of a claim of an effect upon interstate commerce. This is the camel's nose under the tent for such things as nation-wide speed limits, seat belt laws, and gun-free school zones.
Note how the first gun-free school zones law was struck down because the claim against interstate commerce was deemed by the then SCOTUS couldn't even stomach the B.S. the Congress concocted.
Now, as I said, the Constitution for the United States of America is a bill of enumerated rights. These are the things the federal government *CAN* do. What then is the purpose of the Bill of Rights, the first 10 amendments to the constitution? They all dictate things the federal government can *NOT* do. Those were a deal with the devil.
A lot of the discussion these days over state authorities to govern their own affairs versus federal authorities to meddle in state affairs are nothing new. SSDD. In order to get certain states to sign on and ratify the constitution, a compromise was struck to add these "negative" authorities, to enumerate authorities the federal government can not do, in order to sooth the fears of those who thought the government might, oh, I dunno, establish speech codes *cough*PC*cough* or gun control *cough*GCA68*cough* or any number of other things that the federal government was never empowered to do in the first place. Good work, guys.
So, we have a federal government that is as out of its banks as the Mississippi River in New Orleans, but some people still give the Constitution lip service, mostly to stave off the admission that the Constitution has, in fact, been rendered into nothing but toilet paper by decades of federal encroachment and, dare I say it? infringement of states rights, and so delay the day when the people rise up and take back what's theirs.
Specificly with respect to the 2nd Amendment, we have a clear admonition, that the right to keep and bear Arms shall not be infringed. Hasn't stopped tons and tons of infringements, since it hadn't been the basis of many cases brought before SCOTUS. That's starting to change. We finally have a modern precedent that affirmed that one specific infringement of the 2nd Amendment is no longer permissible, but what about scope? and what about other infringements.
As to scope, since it was an entirely federal case, Heller could not address application of 2nd Amendment protections directly to citizens of the several states, only within federal enclaves, such as D.C., federal reservations, and protectorates without state-level governments, such as Puerto Rico and Guam. How then, do federal protections for individual rights, rusted out and up on blocks as they are, get applied to the citizens of the states? Another amendment, the 14th.
The 14th is not a horrendously worded amendment, but it has still left enough wiggle room for the unscrupulous in power to wrest even more power out of the nooks and crannies of Constitution. What the 14th says is, more or less, if you're here in the country legally, you have all the rights, privileges, and immunities of any citizen of any state. It was meant to insure that the newly freed slaves in the south could not be targetted by laws stripping them of their newly guaranteed rights. Once more, bang up job, fellas.
There were such laws, tantamount to "Driving While Black" writ in black and white enacted in the south, and they formed the crux of cases before SCOTUS where the nine wise men had to actually rule that the Constitution says what it says and it means what it says, but rather than make the proper and sweeping pronouncement about the entirety of individual rights protected from federal encroachment *snicker*, they chose instead to establish a system of "incorporation" of Constitutional protections against state action against individuals, through the 14th Amendment. Clear as mud?
So, now, with the 14th Amendment, in order for the 2nd Amendment, as nearly every other amendment has already been, to be "incorporated" as binding upon the several states united, there has to be a suit under federal law against a state, or unit thereof, regarding state infringement of federally protected 2nd Amendment rights. Enter McDonald v. Chicago.
Everyone and their toy poodle knows that the Democrat machine in Chicago is A) corrupt and B) power hungry, but this does not truly distinguish it from any other unit of government in the United States of America. What distinguishes it from virtually every other unit of government in the United States of America is an absolute, iron clad, carved in stone prohibition on the private ownership of guns in the city. It's a state-based Washington, D.C.
So, the natural next step after D.C. v. Heller is McDonald v Chicago, the purpose of which is to gain for states and cities the same protections of the 2nd Amendment as Heller gave to federal enclaves, by way of incorporation of the 2nd Amendment through the 14th Amendment as enforceable against the states.
But, as I said, those protections aren't worth the paper they're written on until we again have public servants in the place of our current crop of public masters.
When they "Nudge. Shove. Shoot.",
Don't retreat. Just reload.

Today the church celebrates the feast of Saint Luke. On his Vultus Christi blog, Dom Mark Kirby describes Luke's gospel as a "rosary of icons"–a series of events from the life of Christ upon which to meditate.
Saint Luke's vivid descriptions help us to picture these events as we read. But there is another reason to compare Luke's writing to iconography: according to tradition, besides working as a physician, Luke painted icons of the Virgin Mary with the infant Christ.
Physician, writer, and painter: in these three activities, we see expressed Luke's love for creation and for the "Imago Dei." G.K. Chesterton has written about how, to understand what ails the body, a doctor must first understand and respect the body as it was meant to be–healthy and whole. A writer must have a sense for storytelling, for the arc of human experience, and he knows directly the limits of language before the great mysteries of reality. And in order to work, a painter must first observe creation with great intensity, understand again the limitations of his medium, and then devote and humble himself to his subject.
With these characteristics of Luke in mind, I encountered for the first time (on Fr. Kirby's post) this 1660 depiction of Saint Luke by the painter Francisco Zurbaràn:
I found myself unintentionally imitating Luke's pose — Zurbaràn's painting made me put my hand on my heart and stare.
Christ crucified and Luke at the foot of the cross stand in bold relief before the simple background. Light comes down from the left, illuminating half of Christ's tortured body and plunging the other half and most of his downcast face into shadow. Turned towards the light and towards Christ, Luke looks up with an expression that I am not sure how to name–the mouth open in disbelief, in sorrow, in awe; the eyes utterly compelled by the beauty or the tragedy or the confounding mingling of both that they behold; the hand inadvertently placed over the chest (do we do that because a scene leaves us short of breath, aware of our mortality, of some strange depth in our hearts?); and then in his left hand, in the detail of Zurbaràn's that moved me most, Luke holds his painter's palette.
I paint, and often encounter scenes whose beauty I would like to paint. But I find it difficult to hold those images in my memory in enough detail to recreate them later on. I strain my eyes and try to fix a scene in my mind, but even as I do so, I can feel it slipping away. Whether or not one paints, we all experience at different points that desire to fix some scene in our memories and the great difficulty of doing this. I think this often causes us pain because, in such attempts, our longing for the eternal runs into the limitations of this present world in which the lives of men are like grass and flourish like a flower of the field and then "the wind blows over it and it is gone" (Psalm 103).
I have felt such sadness before simple and sweet scenes. If you have ever wished you could fix in your memory something like the light falling through the leaves or the look of some savoury meal and felt disappointed that you couldn't quite capture those scenes, imagine how Saint Luke–physician, writer, artist–would feel before Christ crucified.
What if that was me standing there? I would be trying to fix every detail of this scene and of this man I loved into my memory. And to think this was the end, to not know (as his disciples did not know) that Christ would return–Zurbaràn's painting gives me a small experience of that overwhelming agony.
Some have speculated that Zurbaràn used himself as a model for Luke. Luke's painted figure has about it that searching sincerity one finds in honest self portraits which makes the figure depicted at once unique and universal.
May Saint Luke on his feast day–through his gospel account and through his images and through those he has inspired like Francisco Zurbaràn–draw you ever closer to Christ.

Alaska, heavily forested, built on rock and surrounded by water, every commodity that enters the country arrives by air and sea. The use of oil is a struggle for both the economy and the environment. Oil must come from elsewhere and be transported but of course by additional fuel, fuel that is subject to oil price stability.
A site that could help giving a solution to the problem is the Southeast Alaska Discovery Center in Ketchikan. The site that provides information to more than a million visitors each year is also the site where a pilot biomass system is now coming to life. A two oil-fired boilers serving the 250,000-sq-ft center were replaced with a highly efficient system fueled by local wood was manufactured by Hurst Boiler & welding Company Inc.Another good thing about the project is that the hot-water boiler was custom-designed to fit within very limited indoor space.
To address concerns towards issues related to building space, fuel costs, comfort, reliability, simplicity of operation more especially environmental concerns, the biomass boiler system was developed by Hurst representative Gregory W. Smith of Global Energy Solutions Inc. under the direction of E. Dane Ash, project manager for Tyonek-Alcan Pacific LLC.

I'm not a loquacious person, but I am a word junkie. Donna at Garden Walk, Garden Talk has a biweekly meme called Word For Wednesday (WFW). Her words for this week are Pattern and Texture.
The concepts of both texture and pattern are intriguing. At what point does the pattern or texture decompose and become unrecognizable?
Is the essence of the Jupiter's beard still there or has it become an abstraction?
I've never noticed the pattern of silver lace vine going to seed until I started snapping photos for this WFW post. The photo is much blurrier than intended. Off to pack for short vacation, but I'm glad I got to participate in Word For Wednesday this week and hope to check out some other interpretations of the theme.

Parshas Mishpatim 5767
This year, Parshas Shekalim coincides with Mishpatim, and illustrates the point that though, as we will read in Parshas Teruma, for the initial building of the Mishkan, it took the repetitive, commanded donation of the half shekel each year to maintain the Mishkan and later the Mikdash. The high felt by the people in the initial building was unsustainable and it required commandment to insure the long-term involvement in even in so central an institution to our religious live.

Parshas Shemini
We are soon presented with another list, this of creatures we are permitted to eat and others which we are not. Again, there is much midrash as to why a cow might be permitted and a pig not or why a locust might be permitted but a lobster not. In the end, though, we can only say that the list is a hoq—a law of Hashem with no clear explanation for its origin.

Parshas Tetzaveh
The tradition also prescribes meticulousness in speech. As an example, we have the extensive, detailed instructions about the care we take in reciting the Sh'ma in the Talmud (BT Brachos 15). One of my acquaintances once said, we are so careful so that someone who over-hears us will getr it right. I would submit that Someone always hears our recitation. We always stand before the Kadosh baruch hu in our recitation. It is a sign of our love and respect for Him that we recite with care.
It says in Avos (3:1). Akavya ben Mahalalel said: Reflect upon three things and you will not come to sin. Know from where you came and where you are going and before whom you are destined to give account and reckoning. From where have you come?--from a putrid drop. Where are you going?--to the place of dust, worm, and maggot. Before whom are you destined to give account and reckoning?--before the supreme King of kings, the Holy One, blessed be he.

Parshas Terumah
The aron is built by taking a box of shittim wood and casing it outside and in with gold to provide a proper place for the lukkot inscribed by the finger of G-d. Is this not also the way of the Jew? We take our base material world and our bodies and by making a place for G-d, transform our interior life and our relationship the world to glittering gold.

The whole while the Elephants were milling around in the water, a Nile Crocodile (aka Fatty) was eying them longly. Lots of baby Elephants today. They were at the pond drinking and taking mud baths for a good hour. This year they have had a lot of camera trouble, but it is well worth the trouble of checking in once in awhile.

Re: "Internal" and "External"
Chris Hein
This is a tough one for me to wrap my head around, so if I go off in a weird direction please tell me.
The more of your body you recruit to do a specific task, the more it taxes the system. So for example, If I lift a spoon off the table with only the muscles of my hand, I am taxing very little of my body. If I use my forearm muscles in addition to my hand muscles I tax more of my body. The more of my body I use, the more taxing it is. Larger muscle groups require more energy from the body.
This is why I said it's not efficient to use the whole body to move a light object. I think we kind of might agree on that, but there is a sticking point here somewhere.
I personally believe that only muscles move the physical body. I know that sounds like a really obvious thing to say, but I want to make sure we're all on the same page. So, if you want to move the body, you'll have to use muscle. The more muscle you use to move the body, the more you will tax the system. The less muscle you use to move the body the less you tax the system.
Now there is a type of training, where we learn to only fire the useful muscles, in only the correct firing order to do the job we need them to do. This kind of training requires all non essential muscles to relax, and all essential muscles to fire in their most efficient order. This gives us maximum muscle recruitment, for only the duration needed, and keeps all muscles that don't need to work in a relaxed state. This type of training makes the smallest tax on the body possible, to achieve the best results possible.
I would call a kind of training like this very efficient, and so with the definitions I was asking about, I would then call this kind of training "internal".
What I get from your post is one of these things:
You believe taxing the whole system, no matter the requirement of force, is a good idea?
Or are you saying that more muscular recruitment doesn't tax the body more?
Or, are you saying that there are ways to move the body that doesn't require muscle?
I'm sure these are all at least kind of wrong, but I'm asking for clarification.
Chris, this example is EXACTLY the opposite way of how you need to look at it, "This kind of training requires all non essential muscles to relax, and all essential muscles to fire in their most efficient order."
Flip this on it's head. Say someone is pushing you from the front. Now, in terms of efficiency, it is most efficient to completely relax the back side, and essentially use the other person as half of a supporting arch, could be a clinch or whatever, for example. If they pull away suddenly, oops, you're now hosed, you will fall forward, however slightly, in that moment. You can react quickly to pull back, but then you're reacting, and while you're reacting to their action, they've already moved on to hit you. And you can react to that hit and while you're doing that they're kicking you and on and on. You're always one step behind. You're always committed, except when you're doing nothing, and doing nothing is not an option.
You must be on everywhere beforehand, so that there's never a reaction. Reaction is too late - it means the other's initiative is dominating you. Half the game is making sure the mind never shuts off to the infinite possibilities of what can happen at any time, despite what your body may incidentally be doing at the time.

The identification of clinical, serologic, and demographic factors during induction treatment of lupus nephritis correlated with outcome related to either achieving complete remission or failing treatment during the maintenance phase, a post-hoc analysis found.
Factors associated with an increased likelihood to fail treatment included: having anti-double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) antibodies upon trial entry (OR 12.7, CI 1.6-101, P=0.0167), inability to reduce anti-dsDNA within an 8-week period (OR 2.7, CI 1.5-5.4, P=0.0012), and failure to reduce the ratio of urinary protein to creatinine (UP/C) within an 8-week period (OR 2.9, CI 1.5-4.4, P<0.0006), according to Maria Dall'Era, MD, director of the lupus clinic at the University of California San Francisco, and colleagues.
Additionally, induction with cyclophosphamide was found less likely to result in treatment failure (TF) (OR 0.5, 1.01, P=0.05), the authors wrote in the May 2015 issue of Lupus Science and Medicine.
The primary outcome of the Aspreva Lupus Management Study (ALMS) was the time lapsed in which TF occurred during the maintenance phase, as determined by the following: death, end-stage renal disease, continuous doubling of serum creatinine, renal flare (characterized by either proteinuric renal flare and proteinuria or nephritic renal flare), and the need for rescue therapy.
Treatment with intravenous cyclophosphamide (IVC) and antimalarials were both independently associated with reduced risk of TF in the maintenance phase. Patients not treated with antimalarials were more than twice as likely to fail treatment during the maintenance phase (OR 2.4, CI 95% 1.1-5.1, P=0.0209).
Assessing the complete population utilizing multivariate analyses revealed that non-Hispanic ethnicity correlated with complete remission during the maintenance period (OR 2, 95% CI 1.2-3.3, P=0.0061), as 40% of non-Hispanics achieved complete remission compared with 32% of Hispanic patients.
"Although renal response at 6 months is an important endpoint, there is a greater need to determine factors that are associated with long-term renal outcomes," Dall'Era and colleagues stated.
They therefore enrolled 370 patients with class III or V lupus nephritis in a randomized, open-label, multinational, controlled trial. During a 6-month induction period, the study compared mycophenolate mofetil (MMF; Cellcept) with pulse IVC, while the 3-year maintenance phase compared MMF with azathioprine (AZA).
While ALMS found no difference between the efficacy of MMF versus IVC during the induction phase at the 24-week mark, MMF proved superior to AZA during the 36-month maintenance phase in those patients who also had responded to therapy during the induction period.
Patients meeting the initial eligibility criteria for the study had biopsy-confirmed class III to V lupus nephritis within 6 months of study inclusion along with confirmatory laboratory tests indicative of active nephritis. An additional criterion required that patients with either class III or class V lupus nephritis have proteinuria levels exceeding 2 g/day or serum creatinine greater than 1.3 mg/dL.
Only those patients meeting the criteria requirements for either complete or partial renal responses after having completed 24 weeks of therapy qualified for advancement into the maintenance phase of the trial.
Of the baseline factors assessed during the induction period, only ethnicity was associated with complete remission while the presence of anti-dsDNA was the only factor linked to treatment failure.
The investigators performed multivariate logistic regression analyses to determine the variable independence for each population and its corresponding treatment outcome utilizing forward selection, backward elimination, and stepwise methods.
Among the other findings of the multivariate analyses were that baseline glomerular filtration rate of 90 mL/min/1.73 m2 or higher was associated with with complete remission of the nephritis, with an odds ratio of 2 (95% CI 1-3.8, P=0.0407).
In addition, patients who entered the maintenance phase with a UP/C of 1 or lower more often reached complete remission compared with patients whose UP/C was above 1 (68% versus 43%, OR 0.3, 95% CI 0.2-0.6, P=0.0008).
The authors noted, "A strength of [their] study is that [they] used data from ALMS, a randomised, controlled trial that collected data throughout a 36-month maintenance phase following a 6-month induction phase."
Conversely, the post hoc analysis was a limitation of the study.
"Although our findings contribute to the understanding of predictors of renal outcome in lupus nephritis, we believe that the associations described in this study are not strong enough to directly impact therapeutic decision making in individual patients in the clinic. Better biomarkers are needed to achieve this important goal," they cautioned.
The study was funded by the Rosalind Russell Medical Research Center for Arthritis at UCSF. The Aspreva Lupus Management Study was sponsored by Vifor. Two of the co-authors have been employed by Vifor.
No other financial conflicts were disclosed.

Happy Monday!
I'm so excited! Our first Made it Monday! WOO HOO! :)
All the men in my life are getting these mugs for Christmas. Aren't they great? I have never etched anything before. It was so easy. And cheap. And quick.
So quick that I did all of these glasses tonight. In about an hour and a half!
Yup. 20 glasses. Hour and a half. For $25. And for all you math majors out there --- that is a set of 4 personalized cups for each person for $5!!!! Can't beat that with a stick!
I actually got the glasses at the Dollar Tree. I know. I was shocked too. Because these are nice, very heavy glass mugs. For $1 a piece! So I bought 20 (the cart was filled, they looked at me like I was crazy. I tried to explain Christmas gifts and they looked at me like I was even more crazy. Apparently only crafters start making gifts ahead.) I need to go back because I need 30 more!! Maybe I'll hit up a different Dollar Tree. :)
Put a business name (These are for my dad. He owns his own art gallery in Louisville. If your in the area you should check it out! Tim Faulkner Gallery! Gotta add my little plug in there!) :)
Do first and last name.
Or simply the first.
Come back tomorrow to see exactly how to etch glass. I promise -- soooo easy!
I will have to take pictures closer to Christmas. I plan on making 4 'manly' snacks and packaging one in each mug. I think it will look pretty darn
cute manly. :)
I've got some great projects I think this is going to lead into! Talk to you tomorrow!

Rosie O'Donnell clearly did not want to talk about her comments about Barron Trump or her apology to the 10-year-old and his mom, Melania ... but boy did she have questions for the photog.
Rosie arrived at LAX Thursday and shut down when the photog asked about her walk back over her tweet that Barron might be autistic. He's not, and Melania was pissed.
You gotta hand it to her ... Rosie used her interviewing skills -- clearly from her talk show -- to adroitly deflect questions from the terminal to her waiting SUV.
Gotta say ... super impressive.

Steven Rose: Evolution is a fact; natural selection is a theory about how evolution occurs. But there are many factors that lead to evolutionary change and natural selection - and competition for scarce resources (the very Darwinian mechanism) - is only one of them.
Natural selection is an excellent mechanism for explaining species getting better at what species do. It is poor (as Darwin himself recognised) at explaining speciation - how a species becomes another species. For that, we need to include explanations such as founder effects, genetic drift and contingencies.
Further, Neo-Darwinism insists on one level of selection only in the individual gene. To understand evolution we need to consider multiple levels of selection, from genes to populations. I am astonished at the naive propositions being advanced by people who call themselves sociobiologists. The crudity of the way in which sociobiology is applied at present is equivalent to the crudity of vulgarly economic reductionist interpretations of Karl Marx.
- Steven Rose is professor of biology, the Open University.
John Maynard Smith: Neo-Darwinism is almost, but not quite, universally accepted by the biological community. But I do not accept that "natural selection is the sole driver of evolution" if by evolution you mean genetic change, because there is quite a lot of change at molecular level occurring randomly that makes no difference, and is all very neutral. It is not the sole driver of evolution because some changes are selectively neutral and have no effect one way or another. But if you were to ask, "Is natural selection the only cause of adaptation", then I would have to say yes, it is, by and large. But such blank universal truths are very hard to pin down.
- John Maynard Smith is emeritus professor of biology at the University of Sussex Gabriel Dover: We absolutely require natural selection but we have evidence that it cannot itself be the only explanation of the complex process of evolution. There is a variety of internal genetic mechanisms that can increase the frequencies of certain mutations: the general instability of DNA can actively promote or demote some mutations. All such mechanisms are termed molecular drive. So conventional genetics would say that a mother with the genes Aa coding for a particular characteristic would produce eggs, half of which contain the gene "A" and half "a". But molecular drive means she may produce more of "A" and fewer of "a" as a consequence of one or other mechanism of DNA flux. This increase in "A" is distinct from that of natural selection and adaptation. We have evidence of how all these internal processes interact with natural selection. Many people working on evolution have not been educated in the new molecular genetics. They make observations in the wild and have recourse to Kipling-type Just So Stories to explain them. They assume the sole role of natural selection all too glibly, armed only with the wacky pretensions of selfish gene computer games and without recourse to rigorous proof. Ignorance and received wisdom make a dangerous cocktail in science.
- Gabriel Dover is professor of genetics, Leicester University.
Marion Lamb: Neo-Darwinism is almost totally accepted by the biological community. There is no way to explain complex adaptations except by natural selection, but I would not be happy with the statement that natural selection is the sole driver of evolution at the level of genes. The classic Neo-Darwinian view is that there can be no transfer of information from generation to generation other than through genes, which are usually equated with DNA, but there are other ways, for example, through behavioural transfer and through inherited epigenetic marks. In genomic imprinting, for example, the same gene, when inherited from the male, is interpreted in the offspring differently from when inherited from the female. You only have to think of the way that behaviour is transmitted, to understand that DNA is not the be-all and end-all. Neo-Darwinism is fundamental. But what is wrong with the present version is that it says that all variation is random and it is all in DNA sequence.

Main Type of Our Wheat Flour Grinder Machine
Le 20 March 2015, 08:29 dans Humeurs • 0
Today, let's talk about the main types of wheat flour grinder machine. It can avoid being inter-related between each roller, and then improves the work stability of stripping roller. It presses corn ears into the surface of stripping roller, thus it increase friction to stripping roller and easy to extract corn husks. When corn husks are in contact with stripping roller, corn ears is raised up during peeling.
The WHEAT FLOUR GRINDER MACHINE is mainly used for refining high viscosity materials in oil paint, printing ink, color paint and plastic industries. It is especially suitable for processing materials with high viscosity and fineness. Wheat flour grinder has many advantages. The wheat flour grinder is the newest equipment from our company.
The details about wheat flour grinder machine. The flour that came form the high speed mills comes out in the form of chunks or dust. Inevitably, no matter how you look at it, this is the first step toward the less desired "processed flour". High speed and high friction temperature destroys the very goodness you are trying to achieve.

Gear is looking for a special person/family who will be dedicated to providing him with the supports needed to lead his best life possible. Gear is a high energy dog and NEEDS an active home. We would not consider him hyper but he needs to be stimulated mentally and exercised daily. He was extremely timid when rescued and continues to be a nervous dog, but warms up quickly and is very loyal to his people. He needs to be allowed time and given support to gain confidence in new areas and when facing new challenges. He's great off leash, listens like a dream and okay on leash, but pulls if allowed. Gear is good with other dogs, but we would not suggest a home with another male or even a bossy female. He hates cats and is very prey driven. His perfect home would be an acreage (fenced or with a secure dog run for when he is outside unsupervised) with no cats and he would love to continue his routine of daily quad rides or runs. He is crate-trained and is happy to sleep in with no problems. In fact, he looks forward to bed time.
Here is a video of Gear playing with his friend Mahjong during August 2015.

CJN- Kol Israel educator retells father's story
MANSFIELD – Ben Nebel couldn't speak about the horrors he was a part of during the Holocaust. Now, his daughter, Ellen Jacob, wants to make sure that his heroic story is heard.
Jacob, vice president of Kol Israel Foundation and chairperson of Holocaust education outreach programming for the Beachwood-based organization, was the guest speaker April 23 at the Yom Hashoah commemoration at Emanuel Jacob Congregation in Mansfield.
"Because I'm the daughter and granddaughter of Holocaust survivors, I'm not only a witness, I'm a very lucky witness," she said.
About 9 million Jews lived in Europe at the time and 6 million were killed in the Holocaust.
"Statistically, by those numbers, I can be counted on as a miracle. I'm a miracle," said Jacob, a Bainbridge Township resident. "Each of the 3 million survivors has a story to be told."
This was Nebel's story.
As she told the story of her father, who died in 1998, she asked the guests to put themselves in his shoes. She wanted them to imagine the horrors the Nazis afflicted upon the Jews, just because of their religion. Instead of using her father's name during her talk, she substituted the word "you."

Kol Israel Foundation Announces Opportunity for Holocaust 2nd Generation to "Tell Your Story"
BEACHWOOD, OH, January 2, 2017. Kol Israel Foundation is constantly exploring the significance of the Holocaust. A top priority of the organization is to recognize the importance of Survivors' memories, and preserving and sharing them through Holocaust educational outreach. Kol Israel believes that first-person accounts provide a powerful impact that helps community members put a face on history and make meaning out of statistics.
"Many of Cleveland's courageous Holocaust Survivors have been telling their stories for decades and will continue to do so for as long as they can. Sadly, there will come a time when there will be no eyewitnesses left to teach our children what happened in the Holocaust, making it all the more imperative to develop and put into place a way to continue to tell the stories," said VP and Holocaust Education Outreach Chairperson Ellen Jacob, whose parents were both Holocaust Survivors. "It's important to have these stories told and I think it's much more authentic, much more moving and impactful for the Survivors to be telling the story themselves."
Over the course of the last two years, Kol Israel's Holocaust education outreach program has been able to share Survivor testimonials, presented by their children and/or grandchildren, throughout the community. We have found that what makes these video presentation compelling is the ancillary dialog that only Survivor's family members can provide.
Some of the questions recently asked during the ten presentations to more than 250 eighth-graders in the Brunswick schools, included:
- "What effect does the Holocaust have on your family today?"
- "Was it different growing up with your family being Holocaust Survivors? If so, how?"
- "What is the worst story that your Survivor parent told you?"
- "How did the Holocaust change your parent(s) mentally, emotionally and physically, and how did that affect your childhood?"
- "How does it feel to know that your parent was at a concentration camp during the Holocaust?"
- "Do you believe that Hitler was a good man or a bad man?"
- "Why was Hitler chosen to become dictator of Germany?"
- "How were you affected by the Holocaust?"
- "Do you think you would have survived the Holocaust?"
- "Why and how do you think your parent(s) survived the Holocaust?"
- "Do you think your parent(s), if they could have, would have converted to another religion to
- escape torture?"
- "Is it hard for you to deal with the fact that you would not be alive it your ancestors weren't as brave, strong, hopeful and lucky as they were?"
- "Do you think something like the Holocaust could happen again in our lifetime?"
- "Do you think your parent ever wished that he/she wasn't Jewish?"
- "Does/did your parent(s) despise Germany? Do you?"
- "Did your parent(s) tell you about his/her experience during the Holocaust?"
- "How did the Holocaust affect your parent(s)' life/lives? How is their experience affect yours?"
- "Did you know all about what your parent(s) went through during the Holocaust? If yes, when?"
- "How or why do you think your parent(s) survived?"
These students' questions were thought-provoking and insightful, and most could only be answered by members of the Survivors' families. This has inspired Kol Israel to provide video-testimonials of 2nd generation Holocaust Survivors.
As part of our ongoing education programs, Kol Israel Foundation is pleased to announce an exciting new program for 2nd generation Holocaust Survivors, Your Story Simply Told. This program is provided courtesy of Natalie Bauman, founder and CEO of The Digital Mosaic, LLC. It enables 2nd generation video interviews through an easy-to-use app in the comfort of one's own home and scheduling.
On Thursday, Jan 12, 2017 at 6:00 PM at At Mark Frank's office: 4469 Renaissance Parkway, Warrensville Heights 44128, Ms. Bauman will demonstrate the proprietary program, how the app works, and talk about the process, options, and ease of use. There is no charge for these services due to the generosity of Ms. Bauman.
If you are a second-generation Holocaust Survivor, you won't want to miss this extraordinary opportunity to find out how to tell YOUR story. RSVP to email@example.com or call the Kol Israel Foundation office at 216.831.3754.
Kol Israel Foundation, Inc. is an organization of Jewish Holocaust Survivors, their families and supporters. Since 1959, the organization seeks to fulfill its mission of remembrance, advocacy, and education throughout Greater Cleveland.

Kol Israel Foundation and Mandel JCC are pleased to invite the community to Movie Night, featuring DEFIANCE, a Holocaust story of Survivors who fought as Partisans with the Bielski Brothers
BEACHWOOD, OH, November 21, 2016 – There were six million Jews murdered during the Holocaust, leaving a mere three million Survivors, each with a unique story to tell. One such story is the movie DEFIANCE -- an amazing, true story about human courage, perseverance, and strength during the most horrific of times.
The 2008 film, directed by Edward Zwick, is set during the occupation of Belarus by Nazi Germany. It is an account of the Bielski Partisans, a group led by Polish Jewish brothers who saved and recruited Jews in Belarus during WWII. What makes this showing of the movie Defiance all the more compelling is that two of the Bielski Partisans, Sam and Ida Zelwin, settled in Cleveland, OH after the War.
Sam and Ida Zelwin escaped from the Novogrodek, Poland ghetto at the latter part of 1941 after 5000 of their fellow Jews were taken into the forest and killed. The Zelwins fled into the Belarus forests where they joined up with the Bielski brothers when the group numbered two dozen people. They spent three and a half years resisting the Nazis with the Bielski Partisans until they were liberated in 1945, when the group numbered 1200. Today there are more than 20,000 descendants of the group. Sam and Ida had a son, Harry, who was born in a Displaced Persons Camp in Foehrenwald, Germany in November, 1947. After emigrating to the U.S., Robert was born in Cleveland, OH in April, 1950, and Ileen was born in February, 1952. Sam and Ida Zelwin died in January, 2005 and March, 2006, respectively.
Harry, Robert, and Ileen will be attending to further discuss their parents' experience and answer questions
Special thanks to Robert Zelwin, Board Member of Kol Israel Foundation, and his family, second- (and –third) generation Survivors, for graciously making this movie event possible.
Sunday December 11, 2016 at 4:30 PM

The following in an excerpt from the Cleveland Jewish News. Click here to read the full article.
What would your life story have been?
Could you have survived?
As someone who has heard and documented a multitude of eyewitness survivor testimonies, I often wonder how anyone could have survived the systematic dehumanizing tactics, the terrorism and the heinous murders perpetrated by the Nazis and their supporters. What kept these Jews alive? Hope? Strength? Courage? Compassion? Resilience? Religion? Perhaps, all of the above.
Imagine living in eastern Europe in the late 1930s.

Learn about Malice, Murder, and Manipulation in Lithuania at Jewish Genealogy Society
Have you ever heard the term heritage citizenship? Grant Arthur Gochin, author of Malice, Murder, and Manipulation: One Man's Search for Truth, is the featured speaker at the Wednesday, November 2nd meeting of the Jewish Genealogy Society of Cleveland. He will share his struggle to restore his family's rights to citizenship in Lithuania. His appearance is co-sponsored by the Kol Israel Foundation.
Grant Gochin has litigated against the Lithuanian government many times over returning citizenship to those of Jewish ancestry and to force their hand in ceasing to honor Holocaust Perpetrators.
Citizenship and legal status affected every aspect of life in the "old country." Mr. Gochin will relate a 100 year story of how the Lithuanian government abused national laws causing multiple Jewish deaths in 1922 and how that government continued that behavior four generations later. He will document one Jewish family's deportations, deaths, abductions and movements.
Grant Gochin is a Litvak who has been researching his family history for the past 30 years. He is an activist for historical truth telling and accountability in Lithuania, and widely published on the subject. He is extensively philanthropically and politically engaged in Lithuania on Jewish issues. Grant serves as the Honorary Consul for the Republic of Togo in California. Originally from South Africa, he presently resides in California, where he works as a Certified Financial Planner and Wealth Advisor. He is married with one son. Grant's blog on his engagements in Lithuania is at www.ggochin.wordpress.com.
The Jewish Genealogy Society of Cleveland meets on the first Wednesday evening of the month starting at 7:30 PM in the Miller Board Room at Menorah Park, 27100 Cedar Road, Beachwood. Board members are available from 7:00 PM to assist with individual research questions. Guests are welcome. RSVP to email@example.com.

Sateen 28ml stripe, 312tc for top shelf properties
Wanting something special as a top sheet, or maybe you're looking at a 5 star rating?
What is it?
This is an up-market 312tc sheet, with a point of difference, yet is still made to commercial standards so it can be processed easily.
The sateen stripe on this beautiful sheet really shines, and with its 312 thread count it is the sheet others need to live up to. The 312tc is the highest thread count recommended for a luxurious sheet that breathes and allows moisture to escape.
However all sateen stripe sheets are more susceptible to possible pilling problems so you need to have good systems in place to manage this type of sheet. We do not recommend tumble drying of Douceur.
Who is it for?
Upmarket hospitality.
We introduced sateen striped sheeting to the New Zealand market and we think this is still the best on the market. Experience shows that rental clients will pay a hefty premium for an exclusive range such as this.
It is used extensively as a top sheet when 3 sheeting.
What is available?
Flat sheets and envelope pillowslips.
