As part of the new scheme, local authorities will be sharing ideas and advice on the best ways to save money on their gas and electricity use and ensure there are preparations in place for keeping to a minimum disruption caused by extreme weather like snow, floods and heat waves.
The Climate Local Commitment has the support of the Department for Communities and Local Government (DCLG), Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) , Department for Energy and Climate Change (DECC) and the Environment Agency.
It will build on the success of the Nottingham Declaration and aims to provide a more flexible way for councils to share ideas, actions and achievements which reflect local priorities, risks and opportunities.
So far 18 councils have signalled their intent to sign up to Climate Local, with many more expected over the coming months.
Declarations determined by local councils are likely to include commitments to generate money from renewable energy and create new jobs and investment in green industries in their area, tackle fuel poverty, protect the local environment and improve public transport to encourage more people to seek an alterative to travelling by car.
LGA Chairman Sir Merrick Cockell said:
"Councils are already protecting people from the disruption caused by the changing climate and taking opportunities to reduce tax payer bills through energy efficiency measures. We know firsthand the local risks and priorities, whether those are about energy security and green jobs, improving the energy efficiency and resilience of local homes and businesses or planning extra care for vulnerable people during extreme weather events.
"Local authorities have built up a wealth of experience and expertise at combating the challenges brought by a changing climate – and these differ throughout the country. This is why it is key that local authorities are given maximum flexibility to develop their own ideas and strategies. Centrally-imposed targets often miss the point and, at a time when councils have had their budgets cut by 28 per cent, risk being unaffordable.
"The aim of Climate Local will be to drive and champion council-led action on climate change in a way which will ensure local authorities can get the best results and value for money with the resources they have available."
Secretary of State for the Environment Caroline Spelman MP said:
"I strongly support the new Climate Local initiative, which will provide local councils with an opportunity to highlight the great work they have been doing and their future plans to tackle the effects of climate change.
"The UK's first Climate Change Risk Assessment, which my Department published in January, sets out the scale of the challenges we face from heatwaves, increased flooding and pressure on water resources. It is vital that local authorities, through Climate Local, are well prepared for the future."
Liz Parkes, the Environment Agency's Head of Climate Change, said:
"The climate is changing and the UK is in danger of suffering more extreme weather events. Councils have a big role to play in helping communities prepare to face this uncertain future and the Climate Local initiative will help them take action.
"The Environment Agency has a long tradition of working closely with local authorities and we'll continue to do so through our new Climate Ready support service, set up with Government to help organisations prepare for a changing climate."

About the Site
What should I say? Adore is just another tribute site dedicated to another male protagonist from Strobe Edge series. I always wanted to create a fansite for this character since I feel like that he is the Mr. Darcy of the 21st century. When I was able to finish reading the series from raw manga, I decided to make one for him. To be honest, I have always wanted to meet a person like him. I thought that in college did, unfortunately I was wrong.
Since I was approve for his fanlisting, I decided to try and finish a shrine for him. Currently the site is pretty empty and I have no choice but to release the site since the fanlisting must be out already. Let`s just hope that I could finish Adore for Ren-kun ♥
Other Links
Before you say goodbye
Ah! I guess this is the last part of the site. Before you leave, if you would like to; give us a link back by using the following buttons below. And also, please do not direct link! Thank you.
Adore is gladly accepting affiliation with other related fansites. I accept Strobe Edge related fansites and also any shojo male characters. And yes, fanlisting related are very much welcome as well.

Embracing The Weird: A Minor League Tradition Of Marketing
Make no mistake about it: The weirder that a minor league sports team is, the more attention they end up with as a result.
Recently, I had an executive from a New England minor league baseball franchise on the podcast. The team name was being changed from the New Britain Rock Cats to the Yard Goats. Sure, it was weird, but it was gaining a lot of traction with the area consumers. I even had a podcast listener question why the team name was happening, after all, who the heck with call their team the Yard Goats?
My reply: Heck, I worked at a school that laid down red football turf. It galvanized an entire area, and helped transform a gigantic sell-out streak of fans coming through the turnstiles. It also had a ton of detractors when it was announced, specifically because they thought the red turf would fade pink (still hasn't after 5 years).
Weirdness Translates To Merchandise Sales
This is one of the funniest issues that sports has, and one that only minor league teams tend to understand. As much as people love to mock something weird, they also can embrace it. Especially if its truly a weird thing that is their weird thing.
Notice how the Greenville Road Warriors of the ECHL are gaining a ton of media attention, for changing their name to the Swamp Rabbits. No offense to the Greenville team, but I doubt they were gaining that much attention prior to the name change. The media coverage is international – even Sports Illustrated is writing about the Swamp Rabbits moniker – and maybe that's what's needed in order to separate franchises from each other. There's also a lot of confusion by the media, wondering if there is legitimacy to calling a team "The Swamp Rabbits." Man, the sanctity of the "Road Warriors" must not be questioned, apparently. Guaranteed, they will sell a lot of merchandise of their logo. Just like the Akron Rubber Ducks. Or the Las Vegas 51's.
These type of brands tell the consumer one thing: You will have fun with us. And that's important. Because this is less about a sport, and more about entertainment. And why not? Last I checked, the best minor league sports experiences have less to do with the box score, and more to do with the experience. At least that's what everyone says when trying to sell it.
Always Remember The Tacos!
For every Titans or Giants or Birds moniker, the minor leagues have Solar Bears, Sabercats and (my favorite) Tacos.
The Fresno Grizzlies, who have a history with the Taco truck showdown, renamed their team "The Tacos" for the night. No one got hurt in the name change, and they sold a ton of merchandise. They even made Mashable and a ton of other online publications, gaining traction for their brand. That's an embracing of the weird that you don't see in the major leagues, and probably why the minor leagues do it, because, at the end of the day, it's not a court of law, and why not?
Taco Cats Do Exist, I Swear
I actually suggested that the Fresno Grizzlies go farther, and rename themselves the "Taco Cats" – which is an actual, demented phenomena that only the Internet could come up with. A late friend and classmate of mine, Scott Sawyer, used to say that whatever weird thing you could imagine on the Internet, there were probably at least 10 people with a group, doing it. That's the thing about the social media and online culture, its driven so much of us together, that each person can determine their own group, etc. I'm guessing that's where the Taco Cat phenomena comes from, and where the minor leagues will go next to exploit.
I'm still waiting for the 'Taco Cats' to catch on. I'm sure it will, especially if the Swamp Rabbits already have found a minor league team to call home. That's the thing about minor league sports, it's just like the Internet, where anything goes and everything must go. It's not a court of law, it's not boring, and it's always something different. And that's why it tends to gain more attention, as well as sell way more tickets collectively, than its Major League counterparts.
One is selling The Lourve. The other is presenting the circus. No wonder more minor league teams are embracing the weird. They know what their audience wants, even if their audience doesn't know it first.
(9:02 A.M. 9/1/15) NOTE: After writing this, I received an email reply from the Bakersfield Condors. They were miffed they weren't included as a franchise that "embraces" the weird. It is an oversight, and this note should reflect how weird the Condors' marketing efforts have always been.

PaPa Arrives
So we have been super excited for my dad aka "papa ron" from new york to come out and visit. Well today marked his arrival, and the girls were super excited. Avery woke up at 6:45 proclaiming we had to get going.....time to go the airport. So up and excited we were running around frantically looking for a suitcase!! I guess she needed a suitcase to go pick him up? Avery still is absolutely in love with San Francisco.....She loves the buildings, the golden gate bridge and she is positive Yo Gabba Gabba lives there, and all those beautiful churches....well those are filled with princesses. So truly a fun place to visit. So with papa picked up and in tow....to Mel's Diner we went a true staple and must eat place in the city. The girls were fantastic...and that food came so fast if only all restaurants were that fast. We left with full tummies and my dad saying "the girls were great"....if he only knew what it is really like with slow service, and past noon. That usually entails an all out meltdown times 2. So a great weekend ahead with lots of projects, naps and papa time...and a really special 2nd birthday party for Layla cuzzy. We can't wait!! So more stories and hopefully a finished project to come!!

I absolutely love reading, but never seem to find the time. However, whilst on holiday, I managed to get my head stuck in two great books!
1. Before I Die - Jenny Downham
I work in a WHSmith's, and as I was stocking the books a few weeks ago, I stopped to read the blurb on this one. It was the first I read on holiday and was absolutely amazing. The fact it made me cry my eyes out just highlights how good it was. If a book has the power to make you cry, it must be amazing.
Sixteen-year-old Tessa is going to die. And she's made a list of ten things she wants to do in the time she has left. But getting what you want isn't easy. And getting what you want doesn't always give you want you need. And sometimes the most unexpected things become important.
After reading the book, it really made me appreciate my own life and how I really shouldn't moan and complain as much. Very powerful and highly recommended!
2. Noughts & Crosses - Malorie Blackman
A friend recommended this to me a while ago, and after seeing and hearing about it, I ordered it online. When it first arrived I read the blurb and thought 'eh?'...
Callum is a nought - a second-class citizen in a world run by the ruling Crosses. Sephy is a Cross, daughter of one of the most powerful men in the country. In their worlds, noughts and crosses simply don't mix. And as hostility turns to violence, can Callum and Sephy possibly find a way to be together? They are determined to try. And then the bomb explodes...
Okay, so a love story about how two people can't be together but try anyway, right? Well, I read the first few pages and put the book down. Judgement of me I know, but it starts by giving you some background about the 'noughts' and 'crosses' and the family behind it.
I took it on holiday with me as a 'back up' incase I finished Before I Die, and after the first chapter, I was completely hooked. It is now one of my favourites, the story is always jumping and making you want to read and read and read, a quality I love about books. The author has used her past experiences to highlight the issues of prejudice and injustice, through the characters you can see how they are treated differently.
This is the first book that Malorie Blackman has written in this series. But I'm not sure if I want to read the next ones as they most likely won't be as good. If you've read them, shall I go on to read 'Knife's Edge' or not? If you read this, you'll know what I mean...

IT'S GAMEDAY! #INDvsCIN- Indianapolis Colts (@Colts) August 30, 2018
Paul Brown Stadium
@FOX59 pic.twitter.com/5JOtgzh8dT
Indianapolis Colts rookie defensive lineman Tyquan Lewis is expected to miss nine weeks with a foot injury, according to a report Thursday.
The Indianapolis Star's Zak Keefer reported the length of time that Lewis is expected to miss due to injury. Lewis was selected by the Colts with a second-round pick in the 2018 NFL Draft.
Colts coach Frank Reich didn't put a timetable on Lewis' return on Monday.
"No surgery, just hasn't been coming along as fast as we would've liked," Reich said, via Colts Wire. "No, we are hopeful we will have him. We're hopeful we will have him."
Lewis, who 6-foot-3 and 269 pounds, is listed behind Denico Autry as one of the two utility tackles on the defensive line. Hassan Ridgeway and Brandon Banks are also competing for the spot.
The 23-year-old Lewis could be placed on injured reserve prior to the team cutting its roster to 53 players on Saturday. He hasn't played in any of Indianapolis' three preseason games due to injury.
The Colts traded up to take Lewis after he recorded 36.5 tackles for loss and 23.5 sacks over his career at Ohio State.
Indianapolis kicks off the 2018 regular season on Sept. 9 against the Cincinnati Bengals.

A Freelance writer and blogger at Orvieto or Bust, Toni recently packed everything she owns into two suitcases and headed to Orvieto, Italy. She's adjusted her tennis game to the clay courts and drinks way too many caffe lattes.
Thanks Toni – I once had the chance to marble some paper as part of studies on early printed books in Dublin. This brought back some good memories of making endpapers! Great to see the tradition surviving so well thanks to Lamberto.
Penny, I know, Lamberto is such an inspiration to me. His passion and commitment to preserving his craft is remarkable. Thanks for reading and glad you enjoyed a little "blast from your past". Toni
I, too had this experience years ago and it was incredibly fun and quite magical! Wonderful to see that this tradition lives on.
Thanks Rosemary. Toni
Toni; the history was most interesting the story line educational but mostly the glimpse into Humberto's life's work was edifying. Loved the in depth video. (signed into your blog) Thank you
Oh theses old fingers and misspelling Sorry Lamberto
Hahaha…you can blame your fingers, I always blame my bad eyesight to typos…It doesn't matter, I am happy you enjoyed the article and video. Thanks for following me. hugs.toni
Thank you so very much for taking the time to do the video with Lamberto showing us the procedure for making the marbelized paper. What a treat!!
Where did you learn your Italian?
Angela, When you say "learned" my Italian, I would have to say I am still in the process…it's been a long process. I started studying in Orvieto many years ago and now that I am living there part time, so it's been a combination of studying formally and then just talking to Italians everyday. No better way to learn than immersion – the sick or swim method of learning a language. I wrote a piece call "Learning Italian by Osmosis" on my blog http://www.orvietoorbust.com. thanks for stopping by. Toni
Great again, I will definitely be visiting Lamberto on my next trip to Orvieto
Great, tell him I said Hi! Thanks for stopping by and taking time to comment. toni
Marbled paper is beautiful to look at and I love the traditional method of creating it, there is a real art to it and the mass produced papers don't come close in terms of quality. We learned this process when I was still in school it was lots of fun and it is so good to see the tradition continues.
Sam, It's a beautiful art and, as you know, it isn't as easy as it looks. Wasn't that small book with the marbling on the sides amazing? Could you hear the collective gasp when he showed it. I forgot to ask Lamberto how they accomplished that! Thanks Sam, for stopping by and sharing. Toni

Hope Planet Fitness keeps on its orbit in a really aggressive and stratified Honolulu gym galaxy. It needs to develop and embrace its galactic niche. Fascinating proposition though-I believe the typical age will likely be about 10 years older than the opposite Kapiolani Blvd gym!
DuBord began helping principally with yard work, trimming timber and planting flower beds and has since expanded, doing organizing, serving to people downsize, portray and doing deep cleaning. And if someone needs a service, she has other corporations she works with on referrals.
We came on opening day (Dec twenty sixth) it wasn't too busy, so understanding was a breeze. There is a 30min part with totally different machines. You do every machine for one minute when the sunshine is inexperienced then stop on crimson and transfer to the subsequent machine in the sequence. Cute thought. No one was really following the rules, however I am going to try it subsequent time.
After going to this gym for three months I've have to say I've come to like it right here, rather more than… After going to this gym for three months I've need to say I've come to like it here, much more than before. It isn't as crowded as before and it is doesn't seem so tightly packed in. I feel folks lost their motivation and aren't going as usually or at all, dangerous for them, good for the rest of us.

Place making strategy for Kings and Commonwealth Avenues released for public consultation
Today, the National Capital Authority (NCA) released the Kings and Commonwealth Avenues Draft Design Strategy for public consultation.
The strategy outlines a long-term aspiration for Kings and Commonwealth Avenues to re-establish them as high quality public spaces in the National Capital.
Minister for Local Government and Territories, Senator Fiona Nash said Kings and Commonwealth Avenues are highly significant streets in Canberra, helping to form the National Triangle originally designed by Walter Burley Griffin.
"This design strategy aims to improve the Avenues, ensuring they are public spaces befitting our national capital, whilst honouring Griffin's vision," Minister Nash said.
NCA Chief Executive Malcolm Snow said that the Avenues were not intended just for cars.
"Kings and Commonwealth Avenues exemplify Canberra's rich heritage as a planned city, however, as urban spaces they have evolved mainly in response to increases in traffic volume and not placed a priority on other active transport modes or on their role as important public spaces," Mr Snow said.
"The NCA's aim for Kings and Commonwealth Avenues is to transform them into destinations and landmarks in their own right. The proposed redesign of the Avenues will unify the public realm and the buildings that line them, while providing a sense of formality, celebration and liveliness."
"New social, business and recreational uses could be introduced along the Avenues and the broad tree-lined footpaths to create new public space activities such as outdoor dining and other public realm uses," Mr Snow said.
Key proposals of the draft Design Strategy include:
- renewing the streetscape character of the Avenues to highlight them as destinations and unifying the symbolic significance of the National Triangle;
- setting high-quality design standards and a consistent palette of urban detailing including lighting, signage and street furniture;
- revitalising the Avenues with unified tree and shrub plantings to reinforce their landscape character and longevity;
- widening and improving pedestrian and cycle connections along the full length of the Avenues; and
- reconfiguring the roadways to better integrate existing and future public transport systems, while giving priority to pedestrians and cyclists.
The NCA invites the community's response to the draft Design Strategy. Consultation is open for six weeks until midnight, Monday 3 July 2017.
The Kings and Commonwealth Avenues Draft Design Strategy, and information on how to provide feedback, is available on the NCA's website at www.nationalcapital.gov.au under Public Consultation.

Toner ripoffs on the Brother HL-4040CDN
After exactly 2310 color pages printed, the printer declared that all three toner cartridges (CMK) were empty. This was of course nonsense; there's no way I burned through that much color toner, or that all three went on the same page. This model has three rounds of defense mechanisms against using cartridges longer than they want you to:
1) Page counters per toner cartridge. This what I ran into. To fix, open the bay where the toner is stored. Hold down the Cancel button and hit Reprint. This will bring up a maintenance menu. Scroll through all 8 entries there, selecting them with the right arrow to reset the counts. Close the front again, wait a bit for it to recalibrate, and you're past this problem. As I hadn't used even a tiny fraction of the real toner yet, this is all it took for me.
2) Optical sensors for the amount of toner left. Once toner gets low, these will trigger. You can likely still print for some time before it actually runs out though. To defeat, pull out each toner cartridge. On each side, there will be a clear, round plastic window that you can see the colored toner through. Cover these with something opaque, like black electrical or duct tape. Then run through the page count reset procedure. You should be able to print again. If you notice a color starting to print less accurately, you might get some more life out of it with the usual "shake the cartridge" trick. But you don't want to print too many pages with your printer in that state, once it really has run out.
3) Gears that advance forward as you use the toner, to set how much voltage the cartridge needs to provide to print with the remaining amount in there. You definitely need to reset these if are refilling the cartridge; see refill instructions for details. I'll have to see how many pages I've printed before I reach this point before I decide if I feel this is a good idea or not. I'm not going to refill the toner, but if I suspect there's still more in there I might try it. If I really am out of toner, I don't have a problem buying more; I just don't want to get blatantly ripped off.
There is an excellent albeit rambling forum discussion covering this issue for a number of Brother printers you may find useful for additional details here. Thanks to them and to Amazon reviewer Sang Joon Lee, who turned me onto this idea before I'd even bought the printer, while researching whether it was a good idea or not. If some playing with the service menu and electrical tape is all I need to make the unit economical, that doesn't bother me if everything else about it is OK. And that's been the case so far. This printer doesn't have great print quality like the old, dead QMS it's replacing did, but it's completely acceptable for the sort of general business printing I do in color. And it works great under Linux.

I totally agree with your notes on Brother printer.. Recently I had done the similar things with my Brother printer. Also I figured when you are not using the printer switch it off since it seems to have a habit of starting itself up and clean the cartridges which uses a bit of ink in all of them and so even if you dont use the printer the inks will go away in few months.

The model I have is a laser, so I don't have that problem at least. The QMS color laser I used to have here was pretty bad about taking a long time to warm up, and I got the impression it burned through some consumables while doing that. But the HL-4040CDN I've started leaving on most of the time, it comes out of sleep pretty fast without doing anything I believe is draining toner. Really no complaints other than this weird page count limiter thing, and the printer was not that expensive at all if caught on sale. You just have to know all these consumables tricks to keep it economical after that.

Excellent information. I had no idea it was so easy or that it was safe to do it. .thanks for sharing. refill toner

Thanks for your lifesaver post! My CMY color cartridges all had very little use - max of 254 copies on them, in about 9 months of service. Only about 10 pages were anything resembling a full color page. Your reset suggestion was the charm!
Many thanks,

Update on this after a few more months of moderate volume printing. After about 3800 pages, just resetting the page counters stopped being enough for me. It gets to where it will print a single page, and then stop saying it's out of black toner. This is about how many pages I expected to get out of this cartridge before it died, so I don't mind getting a replacement now. When I get more time I may play with the tape covering trick, mainly to turn the run-down toner into a potentially useful back-up. But just resetting the counters has been enough to push this out to a reasonable lifespan.

Thanks for this update. I purchased a 4040CDN to print notes out for medical school, and this thing ran out of ink a lot faster than I thought possible. Will definitely be using the reset counter trick to keep my pocket a little more full.

I finally had success!
First, tried only the 'Cancel Reprint' button solution - no success.
Second, I taped up the TWO* windows - no success. I capitalized TWO because, it seems, many instructions don't specifically mention TWO windows - one on either side.One window is easy to get to but for the other window it was easier to take the two Phillips screws out to remove the cover (that's the cover with the plastic gears underneath it.Looks scary at first what with all the gears, if they fall off but don't worry, it's easy to put the gears back into their holders, especially with internet pictures showing you how they line up with each other. Having never done this before, out of the 3 color cartridges I 'revived' only one gear got loose, piece of cake to slide it back into it's plastic hub.
Third I set the spring in the other notch, the shallower of the TWO notches. This was frustrating at first, mainly because I did not find any description for the fact that one has to turn the gear BACKWARDS also known as COUNTER CLOCKWISE.Having been no at this, not being sure which way to turn this gear, was the hardest thing of the whole procedure as the gear isn't easy to turn. However, this also got very easy on the subsequent 2 color cartridges.
I finally succeeded in reviving all three color cartridges but it took all 3 steps.
In hindsight, this procedure was a piece of cake. The first cartridge probably took 5 minutes. the last two cartridges probably took a minute each.
Hope this helps those of us who get slightly intimated by reading the instructions.
I definitely want to thank the people who brought this knowledge to us in the first place.

Any experience or savings suggestions on DRUM life? I am just over 15,500 pages and I am down to 8% of drum life. Not sure if there is any work around or solution, but would love ideas, as the replacement cost is $100 for non-OEM. At that price, I can sell this and buy a excellent all-in-one color laser for $250.

I wouldn't bother replacing a drum in this printer. If you got over 15K pages out of it, I wouldn't put another penny into one really. I have final tallies on mine. 12185 pages, 9889 color/2296 B&W. I went through 3 Black/Magenta toner cartridges, 2 Cyan/Yellow. Remaining drum life is 4815, which suggests the targeted drum life is 17,000 pages. That's probably another fake number, not a real service lifetime.
The biggest long-term issue with this model seem to be that the toner sometimes leaks out. I've had that happen on 3 cartridges so far. Right now it's such a mess that I can't get clean pages to print anymore, there's just too much colored dust inside to get it all out anymore.
Replacement printer is a Brother HL-4570CDW, so my cycle will begin again.

Follow these three easy steps to get yourself a free domain name and blog set up at Mommy Host
1. Choose a Hosting Plan
The hosting plan Mommy Host highly recommends is the Lily Plan, which is the most popular among their customer base. The Lily plan only $5 more per month but you get three times the number of visits per month and twice the storage space and bandwidth than the Iris Plan.
Once you've decided on the plan you want to order just click the "Order Now" button. This will take you to the first step of the checkout process.
Don't forget to copy this coupon! Mommy Host is offering a special 30% lifetime discount on a 1 or 2 year billing cycle if you apply the coupon thisolemom30 during the last step of the checkout process.
2. Choose Your Domain Name
Here's the fun part! Choosing your domain name. Your domain name is the URL someone will type into their browser to access your blog. Once you click the "Order Now" button you'll be taken to the first step of the checkout process.
You have three options to choose from:
- Register a new domain (FREE)
- Transfer your domain
- I will use my existing domain and update my nameservers
Most people choose option #1. By choosing option #1 Mommy Host will cover the cost of your domain name for the first year! If you have an existing domain name registered elsewhere and wish to use that domain with your Mommy Host account you'll want to choose either option 2 or 3.
3. Choose Billing Cycle
After choosing your domain name you'll want to choose the billing cycle for your account. Remember, if you choose a 1 or 2 year billing cycle and use the coupon thisolemom30 you'll receive a 30% lifetime discount on your total order!
Once you complete the checkout process and successfully submit your order Mommmy Host will provision your account. No technical skills are needed since Mommy Host will setup WordPress at no additional cost for you!

Some Like It Hot! - Video Product
Some Like It Hot! - Video Product
Based on survey results from more than 700 couples, Dr. Gary & Barb Rosberg, have discovered the top five sex needs of men and women; what spouses love and hate about sex, and what they can do outside the bedroom to elicit the greatest results inside the bedroom. You won't believe the results...
Much of the joy in marriage comes from the intimate connection that sex makes possible; but we have also found that much personal and relational heartache comes from the misunderstandings and missteps about sex. The longer we are married and coach couples that are seeking a great marriage the more convinced we are that a healthy sexual relationship in marriage will reflect trust, safety, attachment and oneness.
These video sessions won't coach you on technique or position; rather, they focus on your position in Christ - who you were created to be, and what the Scripture says about sex in marriage.
This video product contains 1 DVD with 2 teachings by Gary and Barb recorded in front of a live studio audience. Each session is approximately 45 minutes in length. Each DVD is shipped with 2 accompanying handbooks.

v'lo ra'ah amal b'yisrael -- whose suitcases are we schlepping?
Question: how can you speak of bitul brov (or kavua) with respect to days? The chiyuv to keeps Shabbos is a chovas ha'gavra (see R' Yosef Engel in Esvan D'Oraysa re: whether time bound chiyuvim are issurei gavra or issurei cheftza) on the person, not a chiyuv of the day. The person lost in the desert, the gavra, is not bateil to anything?
When I saw this question I first thought it was great and now I'm not sure it makes sense. True, keeping Shabbos may be an issur gavra, but you have to define the day before you can say the chovas ha'gavra gets off the ground. It's an intrinsic condition to the chiyuv.
2) Mah tovu ohalecha Ya'akov. Rashi explains that Bilam saw that ain pischeihem mechuvanim.
Chazal teach us that if we just open a pesach k'chudo shel machat, an opening the size of the hole in a needle, to let Hashem into our hearts, he will open for us a pesach as wide as the door of the heichal. R' Meir Shapiro explained that this is what Bilam saw. Ain pischeihem mechuvanim: the door Hashem opens for us is completely out of proportion to the door we opened for him -- the two are not aligned. But Hashem loves us, so that's the way it is.
3) The gemara (A"Z 4) writes that Bilam's success was due to the fact that he was able to figure out when the one moment of the day that Hashem gets angry. Hashem did a miracle and withheld his anger the entire time that Bilam tried to curse us.
The gemara continues that R' Yehoshua ben Levi had an obnoxious neighbor who was a min and drove him crazy, so he decided to wait for that moment of Hashem's anger and then ask Hashem to do away with this neighbor. The moment came, but just then RYb"L fell asleep. He took this as a sign that v'rachamav al kol ma'asav, Hashem has mercy even on the wicked and did not like his plan.
If Hashem gets angry for this one moment every single day, there must be some need in the seder of the world for such a thing to happen. So why withhold that anger just to thwart Bilam? Hashem, for example, does not stop the sun from rising just because idolaters worship it. Why didn't Hashem just make Bilam fall asleep like he did to RYb"L instead of interrupting the course of nature?
We've discussed lots of times (e.g. here, here, and other places ) the famous view of the Ohr haChaim (and others) that while Hashem can force animals and inanimate objects to conform to his plan, a ba'al bechira, a human being that has free choice, has far more latitude and can do an end run around Hashem's designs. What that (probably) means is not that Hashem does not have control over people -- what it means is that it takes for more zechuyos to cause/ask for Hashem to interfere with a ba'al bechira.
Of course if Bilam just fell asleep his plan would have been thwarted. Our parsha is telling us a bigger chiddush, explains R' Yerucham Lebovitz. Even though Bilam was awake and had free choice as a ba'al bechira to act against Klal Yisrael, he still did not succeed.
4) V'lo ra'ah amal b'Yisrael... A beautiful Ohr haChaim here
גם נתכוון לומר שהצדיקים הגם שעושים מצות וכל עסקם בתורה אינם מרגישים שיש להם עמל, על דרך אומרו (תהלים עג) עמל הוא בעיני אלא אדרבא כאדם המרויח וכאדם המשתעשע בשעשועים לרוב חשקם בתורה
Mitzvos should not been seen as a burden or bother -- amal -- but rather as a pleasure to do.
R' Ya'akov Neiman in his Darkei Musar quotes a famous mashal (I'll write it over anyway : )of the Dubno Magid which the Kotzker said must have been given b'ruach hakodesh. V'lo oso karasa Ya'akov, ki yagata bi Yisrael (Yeshaya 43:22). Hashem criticizes Klal Yisrael for not calling to him, for being weary of him. The mashal: the was a royal officer who was travelling through some town, and when he got off the train he went ahead to his hotel and left his bags to be brought later. Later that day the bellhop, huffing and puffing and sweating from the exertion, knocked on the hotel door and told him that he had brought the suitcases. Without even looking, the officer replied that he was confused and had brought someone else's bags. "How do you know?" the bellhop asked. "You didn't even look at them!' "Because," answered the officer, "My bags were light -- you obviously have been struggling with whatever you brought, and so I know they are not mine."
Hashem tells Klal Yisrael, "OSI lo karasa," whatever frumkeit you have been killing yourself over and struggling with, it's not MY frumkeit, that's not MY Torah and mitzvos, "ki yagata bi Yisrael," because whatever it is you think you are doing is an unbearable and painful burden. Those suitcases you've been struggling with, says Hashem, are not my suitcases. When you are schlepping my suitcases, "v'lo ra'ah amal b'Yisrael," they are no bother at all.

In (3) I would tend to agree eith your "probably"; that would explain the apparent contradiction in the Malbim who takes the same approach as the OhC - that a baal bechirah can harm even one who is not deserving of such harm - yet also says that if Shaul had chosen to harm Dovid, Hashem would have stepped in (k'vayachol) and saved him from such harm.ReplyDelete
Regarding Bil'am, though, I am not sure that an abrogation of his bechirah was necessarily the case. He chose to "open himself up", as it were, to receiving a nevuah. Hashem just granted him a higher level of nevuah (see Maharil Diskin at the end of Toras ha'Ohel, cited in Avi Ezri Teshuvah 5:5) which rendered his further choices irrelevant.
Oops, sorry, it's Yesodei HaTorah 6:7.ReplyDelete

I remember Reb Dovid Kronglass at NIRC referring to that OhCh, saying that he is wrong, and that even if he is right, he shouldn't have written it for publication.Delete
Regarding what you quote from the Dubner, I have to say, and I say this only because I've married all my children off, some better than others, but admitting that the Ribono shel Olam also has a dei'ah, that reading it while semi intoxicated enhances the pleasure one derives from it, for which I thank you.
Which OhCh was Reb Dovid contesting: The one about bechira, or the one about mitzvos should be a pleasure?Delete
That's funny. As you know, most probably he disliked them equally, but the one I heard him criticize was the one on bechira.Delete
in addition to His Anger for one moment each day, He each moment recreates the world (m'chadeish b'chol yom tamid ma'asei bereishis); those 2 moments coincide once daily, yielding a fleeting perturbation recreation repeatedly integrated into the seder of the world; nearly all days might then be said to lack like Day 2 of Creation, when no "tov" was announced owing to His 'anger' at divisionReplyDelete
that His Anger was suspended during Bilam's adventures meant that each day passed without the perturbation instant of recreation; the "tov" from the original week* was reinstated (v'yar Bilam ki tov b'einei Hashem, 24:1); the end of days (24:14) was not only now seen by Bilam (as if a telescope he used stood firm, unshaken by Anger, for steady focus on a distant star), its very features only now coalesced because (re-)creation was not Anger-injected daily (an injection Disturbing/Dividing His Peace [prelude to the ultimate Peace that follows the sweeping destruction, pesukim 17 to 24, of His redistributed** Anger])
*and the shofar blast of Rosh Hashanah (tru'as Melech, 23:21) did not confuse the Accuser (= Bilam on one of his bad days), but was rather affirmed by him
**as Newton tried to say to the Royal Society, His Anger cannot be eliminated but only redistributed (from the miracle days of Bilam to the purgative and vengeful end of days, with their double-doses of Wrath)

Available now! (handled by our partners BetaGamma Computing in Greece)
All repair/modification work is carried out subject to our terms and conditions. Once you have placed your order, details of where to ship your hardware will be sent to your e-mail address. Prices do NOT include return postage.
This modification changes the behaviour of your Saturn's reset button. A quick press will still reset the console, but pressing and holding the button will toggle the machine between 50hz and 60hz output. If you intend to play import games on your PAL Saturn, this mod is a must have, since it allows you to play the games at the correct speed. You can also use this mod with many PAL games, unlocking faster, smoother game play in unoptimised titles. Of course, it can also be used in an NTSC Saturn to enable PAL games to run at the correct speed.
This mod does NOT defeat regional lock-outs on its own, but can be used in conjunction with other mods to facilitate running import software at the correct speeds. For a fully region free Saturn, purchase the Sega Saturn Full Region Free mod.
This mod is ideal if you're lucky enough to have a Rhea or Phoebe optical drive emulator, since the region-free BIOS mod isn't needed then.
Note:- We strongly recommend playing your Sega Saturn console using an RGB cable. On some televisions, import games may appear in black and white when using composite or S-Video connections.
Due to minuscule differences in video timings between PAL and NTSC consoles, users connecting modified PAL consoles to HDTVs (either directly or via an upscaler such as an XRGB) may experience stuttering/juddering during scrolling in games when playing in 60hz. This is not a fault with our modding process (we're just the only website honest enough to tell you it could happen). This does not affect CRT users, see this page for more information.
Still confused as to which Saturn mods you need?, check out this article, leave a comment or contact us directly.

What a great service from Matt and Phil at videogameperfection. Very quick turnaround, excellent comms, good value for money if you're a complete novice at modding (like me) and this sort of stuff is beyond you.
The 60hz mod is excellent in my opinion and allows for jp and us titles to run as they should on a pal console.
Highly recommended.
If your country is not listed as a shipping destination please contact me, I may be able to sort something out for you!
