The Yakima King Joe 3 Bike Rack is so user-friendly, he's more like Neighbor Joe 3.
The King Joe 3 is Yakima's burliest strap-mount bike rack yet. King Joe the Third, the rear-mounting rack, didn't gain his title by inheritance. He earned it with his six-strap system and ability to fit a vast range of vehicle trunks. In fact, the King Joe 3 fits more trunks than any other Yakima strap-mount rack. The King Joe 3 also holds a wide variety of bikes, and carries up to three of them. Yakima's Quick Trigger Hub System makes installing this ruler-of-bikes as easy as pie. King Joe's padded feet protect his royal carriage's paint job, and his folding arms make him easy to store. *If you're not sure the King Joe 3 will fit your car or bike, feel free to call one of our knowledgeable gearheads.

Will the Yakima King Joe Pro3 work on a 2009 Subaru Outback Wagon (with spoiler)? Some illustrations seem to show it being used on a Subaro with a spoiler. Thanks

According to the Yakima website (http://www.yakima.com/shop/bike/trunk/kingjoe-pro-3), it will not fit.

Will this trunk rack work on 2009 Toyota Corolla?
If compatible, when is the best time to buy (at a bargain price?)
Matt Towner
Member since
This rack will fit your 2009 Corolla just fine. It's already on sale, so I would say order it now. Unless you wait until the fall/winter, you likely won't find it for much less.
Love It!
Member since
Bought this for my 2005 Malibu Maxx hatchback. Holds 3 bikes just like it says! You will need an adapter bar for women's bikes though, so pick one up!
Once the initial setup is done, taking off and putting back on is extremely easy.

Nope, it will not fit on that particular make/model. For all compatibility questions you can use Yakima's easy fit guide here: http://www.yakima.com/fit/information/
Good Shit
Member since
Great rack for smaller cars, if you have the ability to fit more then three comfortably, then i recommend waiting for the King 4 to be on sale, which Backcountry usually runs a sick deal at 85 dollars. It has six straps that attach to trunk, so far it has not left any damage to edges. Fits hardtails best, but will work with rear suspension.
pretty much for hardtails only
Member since
Works great with hardtails or any full suspension with enough clearance to hang correctly. My newest full-suspension hangs badly and sways a lot at higher speeds. Wouldn't trust this rack with any bike that utilizes a rear shock right under the top tube, as many dw-link suspensions do. If you're a hardtail rider you're good to go, as the rack mounts easily, is incredibly stiff, and really does hold 3 bikes.

It appears Yakima has yet to test and manufacture a bike rack for the Volt. However, Thule offers bike racks for the Volt. Visit Thule's website and use their fit guide to find the rack you need: http://www.thule.com/en/US/FitGuide.aspx#startApp

Will this fit the 2009 Toyota Highlander?
Member since
According to my Yakima rack book, this won't work for your car, sorry.
Best in its class
Member since
This rack is very good. It is far superior to another brand I bought and couldn't use. The difference is that this rack has superior build quality with superior materials, and it holds the bikes out from behind the car far enough that the bikes don't hit up against the rear of the car, scratching it as the other rack did. Highly recommended for a trunk-mount type of rack.
Works well
Member since
This bike rack is a little tough to start using, but once you get the hang of it, it becomes a 2-minute prospect.
Commin' back from our local trail..
Member since
Pay attention to every setup!
Member since
The rack secures itself very well to my 2006 Civic, however, the adjustable shoes for the bike frame slide when driving. My bike, which was firmly mounted before a 350 mile trip slid about 5 inches on one side backwards, tipping the front wheel into my muffler and melting a brand new $55 tire & tube. I intend to fix the rack with a pipe clamp, but will never again trust the front wheel on the inside most bike.
Conditions will be different for different cars-I got the rack because it seemed to have the softest pads on the car side (a Saris model made a mess of my trunk lid). The 4 straps on this model are easier than 6 individual straps (both for 6 hooks) and it installs in about 2 minutes. I am not a huge fan of the locking mechanism as it is the only cheap feeling part of the rack-it is sometimes hard to align the lock in place.
I purchased it at $124, it was worth it at that price.

Dave Bowen
Member since
The description above isn't 100% accurate. Don't get me wrong, this is a decent rack, but for only a little more money, you really should get the Quick-back 2 or 3. It is a much more versatile, stable, and convenient rack. It fits almost any vehicle and is the latest from Yakima. It keeps bikes further from your vehicle which eliminates damage especially from pedals hitting your car.
Yakima King Joe 3
Member since
The King Joe 3 lives up to its name. It was one of the few racks that would fit over a spoiler and I can use it on my wifes mini-van. Very easy to install (10-15 minutes.) May be a little small to hold 3 large bikes but works quite well for two.

Member since
will this rack fit on my 2006 Kia Sedona
Member since
You are going to want to go to www.yakima.com and use the fit guide to determine if this will fit or not.
Member since
It sure will. There is a complete setup guide for all vehicles online and in the box.
This is what racks should be like!
Member since
I am somewhat dingy when it comes to technical stuff, I was hoping for a rack that was easy to install, easy to put the bikes on, and easy to switch from one car to the other. This rack is so perfect! I can do it all by myself and head for the hills, girl power!

Places Discussed (Cyclopedia of Literary Places)
Country road
Country road. Unnamed road, alongside which Vladimir and Estragon await the arrival of Godot. No clues are given to identify the location, whose terrain is a flat and unbroken plain to the distant horizon. In a ditch nearby, Estragon has spent the night, despite beatings by an unknown "they." In effect, the road stretches to and from nowhere in particular, although Pozzo says he is leading his servant, Lucky, down the road to a fair. Pozzo's claim that he owns the land is not necessarily true. Although Vladimir refers to past experiences together atop the Eiffel Tower in Paris and grape-picking "in the Macon country," Estragon claims that he has never been in Macon country and has "puked [his] puke of a life away here . . . in the Cackon country." None of these claims is verifiable.
Despite Beckett's insistence that productions of his plays should always adhere to his specifications, the austere set he intended for this play has occasionally been radically altered by stage designers. For example, the set of the 1988 Broadway production of Waiting for Godot designed by Tony Walton was a stretch of Nevada highway, cluttered with debris and abandoned car parts.
Tree. Sole landmark by the road that helps direct Vladimir and Estragon to where they are to meet Godot. The scraggly tree is bare in the play's first act. Although no other trees can be seen, Vladimir and...

Historical Context
The French Resistance Movement during World War II
Beckett wrote Waiting for Godot in the late months of 1948, three years after Allied forces had liberated France from German occupation, and some scholars suggest that his war experience might have served as an inspiration for the play. After German military forces had successfully invaded and occupied Northern France in the spring of 1940, a nominally free French government had been established in the South at Vichy and an underground French Resistance movement arose that attempted to frustrate and undermine German control of France. Beckett joined the Resistance movement in Paris in September of 1941 and helped pass secret information to England about German military movements. When an infiltrator began uncovering the names of Resistance members in Beckett's group, Beckett and his companion (later his wife) Suzanne had to flee Paris and travel into the South, where they eventually found refuge in the small village of Roussillon, near Avignon. In the French version of the play, this village is named as the place where Vladimir and Estragon picked grapes, an activity that Beckett and Suzanne actually engaged in. This has led some scholars to suggest that Vladimir and Estragon can, at least in part, represent Beckett and Suzanne in flight from Paris to Roussillon or the two of them waiting in an extremely dangerous form of exile for the war to end. In Roussillon, Beckett earned food and shelter by...

Literary Style
Theatre of the Absurd
The seemingly endless waiting that Estragon and Vladimir undertake for the mysterious Godot has made Beckett's play one of the classic examples of what is called Theatre of the Absurd. The term refers both to its content—a bleak vision of the human condition—and to the style that expresses that vision. The idea that human life lacks meaning and purpose, that humans live in an indifferent or hostile universe, is frequently associated with Existentialist writers like the French philosophers Albert Camus (Kam-oo) and Jean-Paul Sartre (Sart). But when these two writers expounded their ideas in novels and plays, they generally used traditional literary techniques—that is, life-like characters; clear, linear plots; and conventional dialogue. But with writers like Beckett or the French dramatist Eugene Ionesco (E-on-es-co), the style is not an arbitrary choice but rather a necessary complement to the vision itself.
Beckett and those who adopted his style insisted that to effectively express the vision of absurdity one had to make the expression itself seem absurd. In other words, the audience had to experience what it felt like to live in an absurd world. Thus, the familiar and comforting qualities of a clear plot, realistic characters, plausible situations, and comprehensible dialogue had to be abandoned. In their place Beckett created a play where bizarre characters speak in what sometimes appears to be illogical,...

Compare and Contrast
1954: Less than a decade after the U.S. military unleashed the frightening power of the atomic bomb in 1945, Russia and the United States began harnessing nuclear energy for peaceful uses. The first nuclear power station began producing electricity for Soviet industry and agriculture on June 27 at a station 55 miles from Moscow at Obninsk. In August, the U.S. Congress gave the approval for U.S. private industry to participate in the production of nuclear power.
Today: The production of electricity through nuclear power plants has grown tremendously but has failed to become the dominant power source it was envisioned to be, in part because of the perceived dangers of nuclear power plants. Nuclear accidents at Three-Mile Island near Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, in 1979 and at Chernobyl near Kiev, Russia, in 1986 increased opposition to reliance on nuclear energy production.
1954: Large corporations begin to use computers to facilitate business activities.
Today: The world has been transformed by computers as they power and guide everything from wrist watches to space shuttles. The World Wide Web has virtually interconnected everyone on the globe by creating an "information super-highway."
1954: The first color television sets are introduced into the United States by RCA. Color reception is of unreliable quality but RCA will dominate the new market until 1959, when Zenith and others use the courts to challenge RCA's virtual...

Topics for Further Study
Research the following three topics: the French Resistance during the German occupation of France in World War II, Beckett's personal role in that Resistance movement, and interpretations of Waiting for Godot that suggest Beckett is using the play to reflect on his war experience.
Research the production of Waiting for Godot at San Quentin penitentiary in November of 1957 and discuss the conditions under which unsophisticated audiences can understand and respond enthusiastically to Beckett's play.
Find places in the text of Waiting for Godot where the play is clearly funny. Then find places where the humor is less obvious but still quite rich. Finally, research the concept of "black humor" and describe the sense of humor that you find in Waiting for Godot.
Research as many different productions of Waiting for Godot as you can and classify what these productions reveal about differences in presentation and interpretation. Then describe the features of a production that you would undertake.
Compare the Existentialist and Christian interpretations of the play and decide which one seems to you more faithful to the text that Beckett wrote.

Media Adaptations
A 1990 videotape production of Waiting for Godot is available from The Smithsonian Institution Press Video Division as part of a trilogy that includes productions of Endgame and Krapp's Last Tape. Performed by the San Quentin Drama Workshop, the production of Waiting for Godot includes Rick Cluchey as Pozzo. Act I on the first tape lasts 77 minutes and Act II on the second tape lasts 60 minutes. The whole trilogy is presented under the title Beckett Directs Beckett but only because it is based on Beckett's original staging for theatre.
The 1987 film Weeds, starring Nick Nolte, is based loosely on the experience of Rick Cluchey in San Quentin prison. Sentenced to life imprisonment without parole for kidnapping, robbery, and aggravated assault, Cluchey witnessed the famous San Quentin production of Beckett's play, became an actor, organized a prison drama group, and was eventually released after twelve years to become an accomplished interpreter of Beckett's characters on stage and in film.
A 45-minute black and white version of Act II is available from Films for the Humanities (Princeton, NJ, 1988; orig. 1976) and features Zero Mostel, Burgess Meredith, and Milo O' Shea in a production directed by Alan Schneider, director of the ill-fated American premiere in Miami.
A 50-minute lecture by Bert States entitled "Waiting for Godot: Speculations on Myth and Method," was recorded on...

What Do I Read Next?
Beckett's Endgame (1957) features a more antagonistic pair of men in an even drearier situation, while Beckett's Happy Days (1961) demonstrates his focus on women and Come and Go (1966) represents how "minimalistic" Beckett would eventually become in his drama.
Joseph Heller's Catch 22 (1961) is a famous dark comedy in novel form that deals with the absurdity of the military in World War II.
Tom Stoppard's Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead (1966) is often seen as a play that consciously imitates Beckett's Waiting for Godot.
Eugene lonesco's The Bald Soprano (1950), The Lesson (1951), and The Chairs (1952) all epitomize the Theatre of the Absurd and provide interesting similarities and contrasts with Beckett's Waiting for Godot.
Jean-Paul Sartre's No Exit (1944) shows how Existentialist ideas can be presented in a more traditional dramatic form.
Albert Camus's The Myth of Sisyphus (1942; English translation 1955) was an enormously influential philosophical essay that posed the essential question for the Existentialists—what do human beings do if they reject suicide as a response to a meaningless universe. Camus's The Stranger (1942; English translation 1946) is a classic Existentialist novel.

Paper examines the importance of the Support Anti-terrorism by Fostering Effective Technologies Act of 2002 (SAFETY Act)
SAN ANTONIO, Oct. 14, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- ISI Security, the industry leader in critical security solutions in the detention facilities market has recently published a position paper titled The SAFETY Act. The paper was authored by Ray Gilley, President and CEO at ISI Security. There have been a multitude of changes not only the ever-evolving technology landscape, but also in risk mitigation and liability limitation associated with this technology. Prior to 2002, risk mitigation and liability limitation were only measured once an event took place and a civil action was filed by those affected by the event. All of that changed when Congress passed the Support Anti-terrorism by Fostering Effective Technologies Act of 2002 (SAFETY Act), as part of the wide ranging Homeland Security Act.
"The SAFETY Act completely indemnifies our customers against liability when it comes to equipment or other security services in the event of a terrorist act," stated Ray Gilley, President and CEO of ISI Security. "For companies like mine, it provides a defensible standard for levels of insurance protection on the implementation of our services and products," continued Gilley.
The SAFETY Act is the cornerstone in ensuring that innovative technologies and services keep pace with the ever-evolving threats of terrorism and extremism. Through the development of new products and services under the SAFETY Act, the implementation of these cutting-edge technologies will ensure the protection of customers as well as the companies working to serve them.
The SAFETY Act paper can be found at http://www.isisecurity.com/company/white-papers/.

Stargate: Through Time and Space
In 1995 an academic called Danielle Jackson was trying to persuade her peers that the Egyptian gods, and many others from mythology were aliens. Laughed out of the debate, she left chagrined, angry and desperate. It was not until she was approached and asked to join Norad in translating some rather old Egyptian which she believed could be far older than first thought. With her help they managed to translate key symbols and principles behind the object. When Colonel O'Neil allowed the actual gate to be unveiled she knew that something monumental was about to occur. Twenty hours later they went through the gate to arrive on a planet the locals called Abydos.
After exploring for a few hours Danielle disappeared deep within the local pyramid on an expedition, searching for the key to allow them to return home. It was not until she sat and thought about her findings over the evening meal that the concepts began to solidify within her brain. That the local stars within the pyramid seemed to resemble those found on Earth was interesting, but left many problems. It was not until the arrival of Ra that things became crystal clear.
Abydos was Earth, just a different universe, or timeline. It was just so much Star Trek to her and it needed the physicists back home to resolve the riddles therein. Shortly after being shot, and killed, and then resurrected within the sarcophagus that real fear set in. That perhaps the Gods of Earth existed back home, and would one day return. After the death of the Egyptian god, teams continued to go through the gate, and in each one they found instances of divergence from Earth. One planet had a current Roman Empire, another was run by Genghis Khan's distant relatives that had subjugated the whole world, again where Hitler is still alive and breathing thanks to occult and arcane sciences. In each and every one they encountered a race known as the Goa'uld.
In many cases the same one was encountered on multiple worlds, something that scared Sam Carter to virtually wetting himself. the fact was that the Goa'uld were multiversal conquerors, intent on taking over every Earth they came across. Yet it seemed that their technology and knowledge were at a massive disparity. Many seemed barely able to fix what SG Teams broke. So either they did not own the technology, or something more was at work here. Their servants the Jaffa were horrendously competent army that used advanced technology and tactics, set ambushes and traps - some even had cybernetic attachments. They seemed a positive smorgasbord of personnel. Not all of them were even human.
For any one familiar with Gurps Alternate Earth books, this is very much built upon that theme. For this RP you are not limited to being human. Would there be any interest in this?

@NattieJ, I always cut the necks out of my tshirts, it makes a much more flattering shape. Just follow the edge of the collar bit along the front and back, and then cut out towards to shoulders as far as you want (I usually go right to the seam)

Jake, from Not Just Movies, and I were talking on the twitter about a Book Club for film blogging. For our first pick, we discussed Day for Night or La Nuit Americaine (1973), directed by Francois Truffaut. It's about the production of Je Vous Presente Pamela, a family melodrama that takes place in Provence, but the hectic job of working on a movie set takes center stage.
A: Opening thought: I think Alphonse might have been inspiration for Max Fischer. He's the spitting image of Schwartzman on a go-cart.
J: I'm so glad we're starting on the Wes Anderson connection. I kept thinking of that American Express commercial Wes made throughout the film, and I saw a lot of Max in Alphonse too. And I laughed about as hard at the look Léaud contemptuously throws at the crew member who comes to get him precisely because it reminded me of Max. It's a petulant, sheltered, almost stunted childishness, the inverse of the very real angst exhibited by Léaud in the Antoine Doinel character he developed with Truffaut over several films.
I also think the film's color palette, although captured with more improvisational flair than Anderson's immaculate compositions, was an influence. Those flat but vibrant pastels certainly recur in Anderson's filmography.
A: Oh, most definitely. I didn't make the connection between that commercial, but now that you mention it, it's the exact same feel, down to choosing which gun to use.
I loved that they chose to set the movie in the Riviera, since you've got that warm color palette, but at the end you've got a small town coated in snow with palm trees sticking up behind the set. It matches the chaotic tone of working on set, where just about everything occurs.
J: Yeah, it's so chaotic, in fact, that it's hard to know where exactly to start when discussing the film's overview of film production. Truffaut really stresses the surreality, even the solipsism, of filmmaking. He casts his little production area as a sort of self-contained world of artifice, where one can constantly see the falsity of it in long shot, only for it to feel so real up-close.
What's interesting about this film as opposed to, say, 8 1/2 or The Player, is its resolute focus on the actual feeling of production. Those films about film approach the subject by way of the artistic process and workplace politics, respectively. Day for Night, on the other hand, is very much about the simple ordeal of coordinating and executing a film shoot, of finding practical solutions for everything from quick rewrites to unruly actors. For someone who helped put forward the auteur theory, Truffaut certainly shows just how much work, and by how many people, it takes to put even a modestly scaled film together.
A: He really emphasizes the nature of film as an artistic industry. He did something similar with The Last Metro, only that focused on theater in war time. But I like that there's the apparent artificiality when all of the characters act so genuine around each other, whether they're on set or behind scenes. Even viewing their flaws, they all seem very likable people with the energy to create a film.
J: That's the curious dichotomy of the film. Every character is, when viewed through a normal prism, completely insane. They're all narcissistic, stunted and divorced from reality. Nevertheless, they're linked by this shared madness. I love how casually some of the crew respond to the actors' histrionic promises to leave show business. They don't brush off these threats with cynical awareness that the actors couldn't hack it in the "real world" (though that's probably true); they just know that this life means too much to the people for them to just quit it.
That's why I'm especially fascinated by the partners some of these people have who come from outside the industry. Julie's husband, Liliane and Lajoie's wife are all vastly different characters, but they share the common trait of exposing, in their own ways, the lunacy of the binds that tie the cast and crew. But they also show how genuine and deep those connections are.
A: I think they're all connected by this love of film too. All Alphonse wants to do is go to the movies and when they're recording chatter their sound guy has to ask the crew not to talk about film. It's that drive that gets the crew to handle all of these histrionics. Everyone works to their own goal.
The outside-spouses' opinions seem just as off-kilter, even if they're supposed to resemble the reality outside of production. There's the production manager's wife who won't give him a bit of peace and then Liliane is willing to run off with a stunt guy she just met. It's acknowledging a level of craziness in everyone.
J: I agree, though I think the madness of their own reactions stems at least partially from the effects of the industry. I think Truffaut is saying that the pull of the movies affects everyone. The production slowly absorbs civilians, from the cop who gave permission for a certain shoot to the restaurant patron invited by Severine to join the wrap party. Some people, like the wife or Liliane, just can't handle the stress and surreality of this tight-knit world, but Truffaut's view of the industry is never negative. After all, that industry is so attractive because it idealizes the world in which we live.
A: And film is never criticized for the flaws in the actors. The admiration for it is underlined when Ferrand has dreams of when he stole the lobby cards from Citizen Kane. That was easily one of my favorite scenes. It's such a tender moment of loving film.
So even when it creates these crazy people, they're likable by default, since they're working to create more of that.
J: Agree completely. Truffaut always claimed that the cinema saved his life, which it did first as the kind of fan who would steal lobby cards out of love and later as a critic and director. I think he shows how that feeling extends to everyone who works in film. They have their squabbles, their breakdowns, their flights of preening diva behavior, but they always rally to get the work done because it is their lifeblood.
I think that plays to Truffaut's unique approach to New Wave postmodernism. All of the Cahiers gang loved movies, but they responded in different ways with their filmmaking. Godard focused on the intellectual and contextual possibilities of cinema. Rivette went the opposite way, creating sealed-off worlds to explore the structure of film qua film. Chabrol fed his quotation into more old-school, crowd-pleasing fare. But all of Truffaut's references are emotional, celebrating film as something that links us all. Day for Night embodies that better than perhaps any of his other works.
A: That's another connection between Wes Anderson and the Cahiers I'd say: there's this completely apparent love for film in their own works, even if they use it differently. Truffaut is probably the most sentimental of the group, but I appreciate that. It adds such affection to the production.
I'm ashamedly not that familiar with the French New Wave auteurs, but I will say that I prefer Truffaut's humanist approach to Godard's political one. I feel like that's the major stand off in French film: make art that's personal, or make art that's challenging in both subject matter and form.
J: Absolutely, and I think Truffaut and Godard embodied that schism better than anyone, their friendship eventually growing incredibly frosty when Godard's own sentimentality turned to full-on cerebral filmmaking.
I don't think Truffaut was apolitical (heck, just watch The 400 Blows), but he still saw cinema as his guiding light. Even when Day for Night is at its most uncomfortable, it's never anything less than elated to be making a movie. So many of his peers were breaking down every component of filmmaking and how the pieces fit together. Truffaut just loved the feeling it gave him.
A: And that is why I will always be a Truffaut Girl: his characters are zany and I love his view of cinema.
J: It's been quite a while since I've watched a Truffaut film—and in the interim, I've become much more acquainted with Godard—and I'd forgotten just how pleasant he could be at his best. I do think he could sometimes be too precious by half, but Day for Night displays the best of Truffaut. I'd actually be hard-pressed picking it or The 400 Blows as my favorite of his. It's chaotic and cheeky but sweet and joyful, and perhaps the least hung-up film about film ever made.
I think I'm all out of big points to say, but there are a few odd observations that I loved and wanted to mention:
-A drunken Severine getting so worked up during a shoot that she asks to just say numbers on-set and overdub the proper lines later like she did with Fellini.
-The you-go-girl response to Liliane running off with the stuntman: "I'd drop a guy for a film. I'd never drop a film for a guy!"
-How Julie's husband subverts expectations. He's the character you instantly distrust, the doctor now seeing his patient, having left his family to be with a woman who appears to be decades younger. But he's so considerate and wise and genuine that I think he provides as much a rock for some of the other actors as he does Julie.
-That scene where they have to get the cat to drink from a saucer. I don't think I stopped laughing the entire time, from the look of barely checked fury on the part of the handler who kept tossing the poor, uncooperative stray at the cream to the exasperated cry, "Listen, it's very simple. We'll stop and begin shooting again when you find me a cat who knows how to act!"
A: I like all of those scenes too. And it's fun how Dr. Nelson winds up not playing to type, but just genuinely loves Julie.
Some of my favorites include:
- Julie and Alexandre bonding over an old story about Hollywood.
- The go cart scene! (I can't resist not bringing it up again).
-There's this simple gesture when they're going over the footage of the stuntman and the car, when they pause for the frame when he's jumping out. It's a simple square off, then cutting motion with the fingers and it works so well with that particular montage.
-I also love that scene at the end when they shoot the death scene in the snow. It's so melodramatic and Hollywood, but it's broken down in the same way the crowd scene was at the beginning. It becomes dramatic for the moment, but also for the careful choreography that goes into it.

What does Rosh Chodesh, the beginning of the new Jewish month, mean to us? When we were in school it meant an assembly or a special treat. Then we grew up, and now, for most of us, the only difference between Rosh Chodesh and an ordinary day is in the prayer service. That's not the way it used to be. In the days of the Temple, Rosh Chodesh was marked by special sacrifices, the sounding of horns, and celebratory feasts.
There are still some places where Rosh Chodesh is celebrated with a festive meal, songs, and divrei Torah. One such place is Los Angeles, where a group of LA businessmen meet every month to mark Rosh Chodesh.
Tzvi Ryzman is one of the founders and mainstays of this group. A Torah scholar who shares his Torah wisdom with thousands through his lectures and sefarim, Mr. Ryzman is the winner of the prestigious Jerusalem Prize for his Torah work, Ratz K'Tzvi. He is also a well-known figure in business circles, and a supporter of many Torah institutions; the personification of the concept of "Torah v'gedulah," Torah and business success.
One of the delights of these Rosh Chodesh gatherings are Mr. Ryzman's profound and yet accessible talks. Now, readers can share his fascinating insights in his remarkable new book, The Wisdom in the Hebrew Months, which opens to us a new world of Torah wisdom and scholarship.
In the first part of the book we examine the connection between each of the twelve Jewish months to one of the twelve tribes, giving us a new understanding of both the power of the month and the essence of the tribe. The second part of the book looks at the esoteric relationship between the months and different combinations of Hashem's Holy Name.
Drawing on the full breadth of Talmudic, Midrashic, Rabbinic, Kabbalistic, Chassidic and Mussar literature, the author sheds new light on the relationship between the months of the year, the tribes, and the ways that Hashem relates to His people.
In his Introduction, Tzvi Ryzman tells us, "Rosh Chodesh can uplift us, it can refresh and inject vigor into our service of Hashem." The same can be said of this beautiful and important new book.

First published in Italy in 1980 as Il nome della rosa, William Weaver's English translation of author Umberto Eco's The Name of the Rose appeared in the United States in 1983, and in England in 1984. The novel, with its labyrinthine plot, deep philosophical discussions, and medieval setting, seemed an unlikely candidate for worldwide success. Yet by 2004, the book had sold more than nine million copies and had never been out of print. Critics and readers alike enthusiastically received The Name of the Rose, and the 1986 Jean-Jacques Annaud film, starring Sean Connery and Christian Slater, only fueled interest in the novel.
If The Name of the Rose seems an odd choice for such critical and popular acclaim, Eco's elevation into literary superstardom seems just as surprising. A scholarly university professor, Eco's main fields of interest include semiotics, aesthetics, and medieval philosophy. Before The Name of the Rose, Eco was well-known among academicians as the writer of many scholarly books, particularly in the field of semiotics. No one could have predicted the furor caused by his debut novel; yet the well-drawn characters, the mysterious setting, and the detective-fiction plot continue to attract a diverse audience for the book. In addition, new critical studies of The Name of the Rose appear frequently, and there seems to be no slowing of critical interest. Rich, complicated, and multi-layered, The Name of the Rose promises to be an important novel for study for years to come.

League of Women Voters join Freedom Indiana on gay marriage issue
Submitted by WIKY News on Fri, 11/15/2013 - 4:42pm
Another group - a politically powerful one - joins Freedom Indiana in opposing efforts to change Indiana's constitution to prevent gay marriages. The League of Women Voters of Indiana says it supports equal rights for all, under state and federal laws. The League says it believes that the civil status of marriage is already clearly distinguished from the religious institution of marriage, and that religious rights will be preserved. The United States League of Women Voters supports federal legislation to permit same-gender couples to marry under civil law.

The TVA says it will cut shut down eight coal-fired power stations, including two of three units at the Paradise Plant in Muhlenberg County, Kentucky. The company blames increasingly stringent environmental laws for the decision to mothball six coal-fired plants in Alabama and replace two coal powered units in Kentucky with a new natural gas plant.

Rockport plant cleaning-up but not soon enough for environmentalist
Submitted by WIKY News on Thu, 11/14/2013 - 4:54pm
Environmentalist John Blair is "under whelmed " by an announcement by the State of Indiana that the coal-fired powerplant at Rockport will be cleaning-up its act. The state has signed-off on $260-million in upgrades to the Rockport plant. The Indiana Utility Regulatory Commission says Indiana Michigan Power can move forward with the improvements that will help the plant meet federal environmental standards. Blair says it's a compromise deal that gives the company until 2028 to complete the upgrades.
GPS tracking leads to missing girls
Submitted by WIKY News on Thu, 11/14/2013 - 4:52pm
Gallatin County Illinois emergency responders are able to rescue two girls from the Pounds Hollow area. They were hiking around Pounds Hollow Lake on Deer Run Trail and became lost. Saline County 911 used GPS tracking from a cell phone the girls had, and once those coordinates were given to the responders, both were located by Shawneetown firefighters in about 30-minutes Wednesday night. It's estimated that without the coordinates it would have taken about two hours to get the girls out. The girls were cold, but not hurt.

Comments about CHAMPION Women's Double Dry Semi-Fitted Absolute Workout Pants:
I don't know what the other reviewer was talking but with the fit of these workout pants - they fit exactly as I would expect from the description. They're fitted around the hips and bum and then loosen out around the legs, just as you would expect from any yoga-type workout pants. Semi-low rise, not too low, not too high. Great quality material and manufacture as you would expect from Champion and extremely comfortable. I'm going to buy a couple more pairs!

Comments about CHAMPION Women's Double Dry Semi-Fitted Absolute Workout Pants:
I am returning these pants. The are YOGA pants, not WORKOUT PANTS as described. They do not skim your hips, they smash your hips. I buy Champion exercise wear all the time in size MEDIUM. However, you should have described them as YOGA pants because that is what they are, not "workout pants." I will never buy from Sports Authority again because I lost time, effort, and money ($6.50 x 2 shipping/handling!) buying Champion through you--because you don't know the difference between Yoga pants and Workout pants.
