2013 IS BULGING AT THE SEAMS WITH COOL new stuff: axles, suspensions, wheels, tires, tools, winches, wires, lights, and more. Every cool new part gets us excited and fuels dreams of bigger, better, and badder built 4x4s. It's amazing how we can stop in our tracks when we see something new and rethink our old project trucks, scheming of ways to integrate the cool new item. We're sure some of these new products will solve problems you've been having, or at least help you devise problems as an excuse to order some of this stuff for your next buildup.
A year ago MSD revealed the easy fuel injection system Atomic EFI for carbureted and throttle body engines. Now MSD is back with a dirt-simple system to make a junkyard GM LS engine run and drive. This kit includes a wiring harness and controller, plus a set of fuel rails that have additional electronics integrated into them, resulting in less wiring and a cleaner engine bay. Plus, this new system has self-learning technology so there is no need to have the large factory ECU flashed and then find a mounting location for it. The result is a clean, easy way to make either a Gen III or Gen IV GM engine run. INFORMATION: MSD Atomic EFI, www.atomicefi.com.
The GM Corporate 14-bolt is strong, but it is also big, and the lower lip of the centersection is prone to acting more like an anchor than an axle. TMR Customs has developed a 14-bolt shave kit that offers near Dana 44 ground clearance for the do-it-yourself axle builder. The kit involves shaving your housing and turning down your ring gear before welding on a new bottom plate and using a supplied differential cover that has higher ground clearance. INFORMATION: TMR Customs, 877.503. TMR1 (8671), www.tmrcustoms.com.
The new Ibex chassis from Goatbuilt is a DIY buggy in a box. With all the tubes notched and bent, all that is required is simply matching up the marks and welding it all together. The chassis kit is designed to fit a V-8 engine, automatic transmission, and an Atlas-style transfer case with a linked suspension; however, it can be adjusted and tuned to fit the builder's needs and desires. Two- and four-seat versions are available. Drivetrain, interior, wiring, and plumbing not included. INFORMATION: Goatbuilt, www.goatbuilt.com.
Dynatrac has a new performance axle, the ProRock 80. It is based on a standard 11¼-inch Dana 80 gearset, but from there it just gets better. The ProRock 80 axles are designed around a massive 40-spline axleshaft and are perfect for 4x4s running 40-inch and larger tires. The huge 4-inch axletubes fit into a proprietary centersection casting that has been sculpted to have just a fraction of an inch less ground clearance than a standard Dana 60 housing but gobs more strength. Plus, when compared to the venerable Pro Rock 60 that Dynatrac is known for, the ProRock 80 only adds 30 pounds more weight. If you are building a heavyweight Jeep Wrangler, Dynatrac can set up one of these to bolt right in, and if you are considering making a fullsize wheeling rig, then the ProRock 80 should be on your radar. INFORMATION: Dynatrac Products Inc., 714.596.4461, dynatrac.com.
Wilwood Engineering has introduced a brake kit for the '07-to-present Wrangler JK. This kit features Wilwood's forged billet Superlite four-piston calipers in black powdercoat clamping down on oversized 14x1¼-inch GT asymmetrical face slot pattern rotors. The kit includes aluminum hats, caliper mounting brackets, and all necessary hardware for an easy, bolt-on installation. Drilled and slotted rotors are also available, and high-performance street pads round out the kit. Other brake pad compounds, including those for off-road applications, are also available. The kit is configured for off-road environments and is compatible with the original master cylinder and ABS system. INFORMATION: Wilwood Eng., 805.388.1188, www.wilwood.com.
Fox is known for shocks, and Fox's new Adjustable Through Shaft (ATS) steering stabilizer brings years of shock technology to steering dampers. The shaft of the stabilizer passes through the body of the damper so that there is no displacement of fluid or resulting odd steering handling, nor are dual stabilizer required. The stabilizer also has a 24-point adjustable body for easy tuning depending on driver preference. The aluminum body is a benefit against rust and for cooling, plus an additional reservoir adds oil capacity and cooling. Mounting systems help locate the stabilizer up out of harm's way. INFORMATION: Fox Racing Shox, 800.369.7469, www.foxracingshox.com.
Is a four-door JK Wrangler too long but a two-door too short? Kustom Koachworks is offering the JKL conversion to stretch a two-door JK to a longer, 106-inch wheelbase. The body and frame are cut and lengthened just behind the doors to give a longer wheelbase perfect for four-wheeling or hauling extra gear, but not so much length that you feel like you're driving a bus down the trail. Conversions start around $7,500 and take at least three weeks. Soft tops will also need to be modified. INFORMATION: JKL Wrangler, 480.981.8293, jklwrangler.com.
EMF has a ball and socket joint perfect for full hydraulic steering systems. The ball and socket joint replaces the standard clevis and rod end design and results in a cleaner setup with tighter tolerances. The tighter these tolerances, the less possibility for steering slop. Plus, these heat-treated chromoly ball and sockets are fully rebuildable, long wearing, and adjustable to tighten or loosen the desired flexibility. Whereas a Heim joint in a clevis is dependent on the tolerances of the bolt, this joint is designed for the tolerances to be matching between the ball and socket race while allowing 360 degrees of free motion. INFORMATION: EMF Inc., 877.236.3545, www.emfrodends.com.
It has been nearly 20 years since the last factory-built TH400 rolled off the assembly line, but these tough-as-anvil automatics are still popular amongst off-roaders looking for a hardcore transmission. Reid Racing has experience building transmission cases and axle parts, so Reid is jumping in with a new heavy-duty TH400 case known as the Super Hydra 400. This case is thicker in material and is cast brand new for this application in America. The case has a bolt-on bellhousing, allowing easy adaptation to a variety of popular engines, and it is SFI certified for use in racing without requiring a steel scatter shield. INFORMATION: Reid Racing Inc., 925. 935.3025, www.reidracing.biz.
Though new to the U.S. market, ComeUp has been making its own winches, as well as private-label winches for other companies, for nearly 40 years. ComeUp offers a full line of winches for 4x4s, UTVs, and ATVs. The winches have a variety of benefits, such as both wired and wireless remotes, series-wound motors, and an external cone-style brake. Though offered with either steel or synthetic line, the external brake reduces heat to the winch drum unlike winches with the brake inside the drum, making no hazard to synthetic winch line. ComeUp offers winches from 9,000 to 15,000-pound ratings for the automotive market. INFORMATION: ComeUp USA Inc., 503.783.6142, comeupusa.com.
The Chevy Performance EROD crate engines took the aftermarket by storm a few years back when they touted easy installation and complete wiring and accessory kits in a package approved for stringent emissions testing. This year Chevy has revealed the EROD version of the LSA crate engine. The LSA is a super-charged 6.2L aluminum-blocked V-8 engine commonly found in the Cadillac CTSv. This monster pumps out 556 hp and 551 lb-ft of torque. The EROD package includes the engine and everything needed to make it run, with specific instruction on exhaust and fuel systems to help it pass smog tests. INFORMATION: Chevy Performance, www.chevroletperformance.com.
Miller Electric has introduced a small, portable welder perfect for shops and beginners looking for a versatile machine. The Multimatic 200 can run off of either 120 or 230 volts and allows the user to MIG-, TIG-, and stick-weld as needed. Packed in a 29-pound polycarbonate case, this machine offers a variety of welding performance depending on material and yet can be easily moved from shop to jobsite to a power-equipped base camp. The Auto Set Elite system allows the user to simply choose material and thickness, then the internal microprocessor adjusts and chooses the best settings. The Multimatic 200 is also compatible with a variety of welding gases and spool guns. INFORMATION: Miller Electric, 920.734.9821, www.millerwelds.com.
ARB has stepped into the ring of light that is the LED off-road light market with new Intensity LED lights. Unlike some competing light bars, these ARB lights retain the historic round light design, making them easier to mount on common light bars, bumpers, and, of course, ARB's full line of bull bars. The lights have an 8.7-inch round aluminum body with sturdy stainless steel mounting bracket for off-road abuse. The Intensity LEDs are available in both a flood- and spotlight design with polycarbonate lenses and 32 LEDs per light, and they are submersible up to 9 feet.

Benefits & Features
Chase down your new PB in SKINS K-PROPRIUM ULTIMATE Men's Long Tights. Designed for serious athletes with competitive goals, these compression tights have built-in Proprioceptive Power Bands to enhance your body's natural performance and minimise injury risk when long distance training takes its toll.
Compression Benefits
Dynamic Gradient Compression
SKINS most advanced compression technology increases muscle oxygenation, stabilises active muscles and reduces blood lactate build up, to enhance performance and speed up recovery time.
Functional Design
400 Fit
3D body scan data and 400 key fitting points have been used to create a more precise and comfortable fit to maximise compression benefits.
Ultimate comfort is delivered through flexible, flatter A-Seams. It's sleek construction, specially developed for technical athletic wear, means the A-Seam sits flat against your body to eliminate chafing and they're 30% stronger than a standard stich making your SKINS super tough.
360 Degree Reflectivity
The logos are all made from premium reflective glass bead technology. By day, it's sleek looking graphics but in low light they come alive with powerful reflectivity.
Proprioceptive Power Bands
Biomechanically placed Proprioceptive Power Bands wrap the body's prime movers - the lower body muscle groups used most for running, jumping and rotating - to give them the support they need to stay activated and able to control motion for longer periods of time. This helps delay the rate of fatigue so you're able to work for longer at a higher intensity.
Fabric Technology
50+ UV Protection
SKINS proven 50+ UV protection.
Warp Knit
SKINS compression fabric is made from a warp knitted mix of yarns that give you a carefully calculated level of stretch for controlled compression and durability.
ADAPTIVE by HeiQ
At low temperatures, the unique polymer binds moisture in its structure keeping you feeling warm and dry. As your temperature increases it changes its properties, releasing stored moisture to the surface where it evaporates and cools your skin.
Advanced Temperature and Moisture Management
ADAPTIVE by HeiQ controls temperature like a second skin. When cold, it keeps you feeling warm. When hot it cools you down and keeps you dry.

Rating Snapshot
Rating Snapshot
I have only worn them once so far, but can already tell thes are the best skins I have ever owned. They are the hardest skins to put on due to the power bands not providing much stretchiness at all but this means that when they are on, you can not pinch any seems without feeling restrictive. Although the pants fit well in terms of compression, length they are a little long (I'm 180cm 75kg and got a size S). I'm unsure whether I had better proprioception but the gradient compression technology greatly reduced my DOMs.

For the young people who watched these exercises, it was an experience and whenever they had free time, they ran to the training field to see the circus.
An author could write entire novels about it, but here we are dealing with excerpts from a child's diary including stylistic and grammatical errors.
The children who learned in school that the Hungarians descended from the Huns couldn't grasp how it was possible that the Herrn Offiziere who descended from the Huns could be such nice and honorable men and were very proud of our hussars.
Sundays, the soldiers came into the city in their colorful uniforms, crowded the bars, drank sang and danced czardasch.
Some of the songs they sang contained the words jiddo kuttya, but since the Jews didn't understand Hungarian everything continued smoothly and the merchants had their good times.
At the bridge in Sadagora was the taxi stand for the fiacre [hackney coach] drivers, respected citizens, some of whom well actually very well-to-do. They were all members of a well organized guild. Their fiacres and horses were always clean and their customers belonged to the best circles, among them being the officers of the hussar regiment.
Often it happened that an officer had no money toward the end of the month, but after payday he would settle his bill honestly and punctually.
It also occurred frequently that an officer would ask a driver to wait for him and naturally, the waiting time was also paid for. When in such cases the waiting became boring for the fiacre owner, he would pass the time in a bar playing derdl or konczenie, that is, card games which not everyone knew. The drivers were lively good natured fellows, but they didn't tolerate any coarseness and when necessary, they could be tough. Therefore, no one dared to fool around with them.
One beautiful day, two officers came to the taxi stand and asked for Moische Burger to drive them to Czernowitz. Moische replied politely that he already had a customer and showed them his fiacre which was at the front of the queue.
One of the officers, upset by this reply called Burger a Juddo kidda (Jewish dog) and demanded that he drive him without any back talk,
Moische Burger who understood the insult said calmly, Mr. Officer, in Austria there are no Jewish dogs and I will not drive you.
Enraged over this answer, the officer drew his saber and slashed it around in the air. Quick as lightening, Burger grappled with him and took away the saber. The second officer who felt obliged to rush to his comrades help, also drew his saber and injured an innocent bystander. This started a brawl in which both officers were thoroughly thrashed and had to be taken to the hospital in Czernowitz.
The sabers and the story were delivered to the military and as a result, both officers were transferred to a different post.
The more the animal in man
strives to become human
the more the man in mankind becomes animal like.
Moische Burger was the hero of the day. And everyone from the guild declared that he had protected their honor. not only the drivers, but Jews in general, because the expression, Jewish dog would no longer be used. But, the Roite Kässerl, a sharp fellow who knew no fear, went around and whispered: I have served with the Huns and I know them, sooner or later, they are going to get even with us.
Months went by - and everyone forgot.
On an autumn Friday evening, in all the houses, the Shabbat candles burned in the candelabras and cast their golden rays into the pitch dark street. Unsuspectingly, old and young conversed at the evening meal.
Then something unheard of happened.
The clattering of horses' hooves became audible. Numberless torches threw an eerie light in the streets. Squadrons of hussars rode in columns through the alleys and some soldiers went by foot from house to house looking for Moische Burger.
Not a few drivers who looked like Moische Burger were dragged out of their houses and badly beaten. The crying and screaming of the women sounded terribly in the dark night, but begging and pleas were no help until they found and arrested Moische Burger.
Moische Burger was thrown on a horse and tied up and then they poured hydrochloric acid in his mouth. Burger had enough presence of mind to keep his mouth closed and play dead. Seeing this, the hussars threw him from the horse and galloped off. Almost immediately, Joil Roife appeared, gave first aid to the half dead Moische - and after a few weeks, his life was out of danger. The military officials investigated this incident conscientiously and ordered the regiment to pay damages to the victims and to clear out of the post within three months of the day of the judgment.
It was the best Hussar skirmish in Sadagora. Roite Kässerl was right.
Although, it is only Sunday, one has to rush, because there is a superhuman amount of work to accomplish.
For the officers of the hussar regiment and their ladies, a tribune must be built to accommodate approximately 600 people. The hall for the Chassidim with a capacity of 1000 people was ready to use. And for the regimental band and the chorus, a special podium is to be built in the palace courtyard for the director. It was rumored that the famous chazzan (cantor) from Bojan, Pinale Spektor would direct the regiment music as well as the chorus.
Sadagora was boiling over with excitement and activity.
In almost every house (even in the poorest) rich Chassidim were quartered, but those who came to late were happy to camp in the open air.
Since daybreak, favored by beautiful weather, the entire population is up and about. The masses of people extend to the gate house of the rich Itzig Leib Granierer and out over the bridge to Mottie Brukenthal and won't be moved.
Mounted costumed groups ride ghostlike towards the railroad station.
Around 4 o'clock - peals of trumpets! the mounted men carrying fluttering flags and banners gallop up and announce that the Machetunem were approaching with the bride. Ear splitting cheering, yelling and shouts of joy filled the air.
Since it was Sunday, no one was working and the Christian residents also took part in the historic event and added to the noise with honest enthusiasm.
It cost the organizers much sweat and trouble to arrange for the four horse coach and the calashes to safely transport the bride and her suite into the palace courtyard. That was the entrance of a princes into the Vatican. The Ruziner Zadikim Dynasty Friedmann in Sadagora.
The weather was beautiful on the day of the wedding and the jockeying for places started at dawn - and toward noon, the crowding became dangerous. Even on the roof of the Klaus opposite the palace, daredevils squatted like bats on a cornice.
On the evening before the wedding day, the officer tribune flanked by a cordon of hussars was filled to the last seat and with the sounding of the regimental music the Vatican took on a majestic air.
Those who had the opportunity to see the wedding ceremony considered themselves as blessed by God.
At the table in the schalasch were seated Chassidim, Zadikim and the chosen few. Gold and silver dinnerware sparkled in the light streaming from the candelabras and the Chassidim decided to extend the celebration for an entire week. The dancing and singing seemed like it would never end.
And so the youngest prince Schloimuniu was married in the Vatican from Sadagora (he presently lives in Tel-Aviv).
On the second evening after the ceremony, Rabbi Sruluniu retired to his chambers and sent the shames (synagogue sexton) to Mordche Nissen Tallesmann to request that he come immediately to the Rabbi. This was an honor which was seldom granted to an Apikoires (freethinking Jew) at a time when even highly respected Chassidim were not received.
Who was this Herr Tallesmann really?
Rumors surrounded him with mysterious legends. Many asserted that he was the lord and master of old long fingers. Others claimed that he was the artist who had worked on the State Bank in Budapest. And the remainder claimed that he was a simple pious man who could enter paradise at any time.
In any case, he was a man who always dressed well, with fine manners and a cosmopolitan demeanor. His self confident bearing gained him respect - and not seldom, he was asked for advice when someone came into conflict with the law.
When Reb [Mr.] Nissen was told of the invitation from the Rebe (Chasidic rabbi), he smiled in a self-satisfied way, brushed his handsome blond beard and followed the shames.
With the appearance of Tallesmann in the Vatican, rumors flew through the assembled Chassidim. Hm, hm, - does Reb Nissen want to become a Baal Tschiewe? Will the Zadik see him? O, wonders and more wonders. He enters immediately and the holy Zadik offers him a seat.
Reb Nissen made himself comfortable and said to the Rebbe quietly and confidently, Rebe leben [dear Rabbi], I wish you mazl-tov (congratulations) on Schloimuniu's wedding and please tell me briefly what has happened?
The Rebbe coughed in embarrassment - he knew that Nissen was a clever man - and said confidentially, Reb Nissen! this is a very serious affair! The gold dinnerware of my relatives has disappeared. I don't care what it costs, help me to get it back.
Reb Nissen closed his eyes for a few seconds, lit a cigarette and asked thoughtfully, who at the table ate from these dishes? I did, said the Rabbi. And who sat to the right and left of you probed Reb Nissen like a detective. The Rabbi gave him several names from the Chassidic aristocracy.
Reb Nissen arose quickly from his seat, extended his hand to the Rabbi in parting and in Chassidic sing-song said:
Rebe leben! If my Chassidim stole it, it will be back in its place within 24 hours. If your Chassidim, G-d forbid stole it, that is a more difficult case and it will take me longer to find it. In any case, I will leave tomorrow and I won't come back until I have found it.
Two months later, Reb Nissen appeared before the Rabbi. After the usual greetings, the Rabbi asked, nu [well?]. Reb Nissen stroked his blond beard and said smiling, Rebe, I was right, it was not stolen or taken.
Because you ate from it, it was pilfered as a holy reliquary by a millionaire and I have taken the liberty to decide:
A beautiful prayer house with parnusse (existenz-einkomen) for several Jews is more important than a useless scandal
I have already secured the money for that purpose.
And the Rebe was satisfied.
If your stupid action reaps success, you are a wise man.
If your wise action fails, you are a fool.
No one was turned away, even if he was an enemy of the house. On Purim, everyone was a welcome guest and so it had gone for many years without interruption.
In Sadagora, such pretentious displays were frowned upon because on Purim, when all is said and done, everyone has enough to wash, but for Luzer Preiser it was not showing off or an excess, but a solemn promise which he considered holy as long as his means allowed.
Many years in the past when he was still single, he had a heart attack and died. The doctor couldn't do anything for him and the Chewra Kadischa (burial society) did its duty. The city was in mourning, Purim was ruined and the maloczes (grave diggers) went reluctantly to their sad task. A young tree, brought down by the storm. The sadness was honest and deeply felt. And as he was carried to the cemetery, everyone wanted to put his shoulder under the casket, everyone wanted to have the mitsve (good deed) of doing his duty for the young man. The pall bearers tired quickly because the path ran uphill and as new men took their places, one tripped and brought the others down with him and the casket tumbled to the ground. A scream of pain from the observers because of the desecration of the corpse. But then a miracle took place. The corpse sat up in his broken coffin, quickly took in the situation and quickly ran home in his tachriehim (burial clothes). The news of this resurrection spread like a wildfire. Purim was especially joyous.
As Luser Preiser recovered from this terrible fright he made an oath: To marry the first girl that offered him her hand and to make a feast every Purim to which everyone would be invited.
Luser Preiser was exactly true to his word and when his son Mennik was over 20 years old, and the old one was weak, Mennik fulfilled the oath every year and Luser and his wife sat at the table and wished everyone should live another year and come again.
Those who come from Sadagora -
Know this event - by heart.
These children were cut from another wood, were hard to frighten, could take and give a few punches and were not as tender as the school children from the city who already with the first shot run like hares. Majer Sibale, Nachman Fessale, Pine the Roiter, Herschale, Sure Dienes, Nutale, Leiser Dudies, and Eliku Frimes were leaders and knew no fear. They were not even afraid of Toloczki the anti-Semite and Kanzlist Urbanskie's fat dog. So who would they be afraid of Arn Kügel who was only a school servant?
So, the young people waited for Shrul the Toiber to come. And as he did every year, he would come today to the scholtiklech (street kids).
Like a saint, with a white apron over his clothing and a fur hat on his head, a long stick in his hand with his tangled beard he walked solemnly through the streets from the Baron Hirsch School to the fiacre owners' Schülech and sang psalms and after every psalm, he stopped and screamed to the children who all ran after him, children - what is today? Simchat Torah they all yelled in unison, Barabules under the bed! Hurrah was the answer. A fellichl aufn drängl. Hurrah was the answer. Dem Rebens Bruche soll Mekiern werin. Hurrah was the answer and then he sang more psalms and the band of children following him sang and yelled - holla drilla holischkis, joim haschischi pipikes - after several repetitions of this sing-song he stopped again, repeated the above mentioned question, received the familiar answer and again the little people repeated in chorus; holla drilla holischkes, joim haschischi pipekis. Around midday, he wished the children a good year, quit for the day - and went home. This spectacle repeated itself for many years. When one year he didn't appear, the reason for Shrul the Toiben's mysterious behavior was revealed.
Shrul was deaf and his wife was mute and all the children that the woman bore were mute. Shrul went to the rabbi and asked him to say a blessing so that he would finally have a child who could speak. The rabbi had pity with the poor man and gave him this sgylle: On Simchat Torah when all the Jews rejoice, he had to go before the children and humiliate himself - and when the innocent children supported his plea to God, God would elevate him. And so it happened.
After many years of humiliation, his wife bore a son, Itzik who was neither deaf nor dumb. He spoke and as he grew up, he even spoke to much. He became a conscientious, respected craftsman in Czernowitz and gave brilliant speeches at the meetings of his union.
Still today when Sadagora landsleute [people from same town or country] meet, you can hear the incomprehensible question - now where is holladrilla holeschkes?
His grandchildren live today in America as respected and useful Jews.

Zierl was no ordinary child. She read newspapers, books, heavy classics and on top of that, she wrote pretty poetry. She frequently traveled to Czernowitz to concerts and lectures and often educated friends came here to visit her.
Among her friends were Toni Stroh and Schamschen Först from Czernowitz. Toni who was known in the Worker's Movement as a good speaker and an educated companion had a sharp tongue and said whatever came to her mind. And Schamschen, the Jewish troubadour published the newspapers the Grager [noisemaker used on Purim] and Schweiss Knisch from a nomadic office either on Zezina-Berg [Zezina Mountain] or on Schneider-Tisch [Tailor's Table]. The above named heroes also held a literary evening. In Zierl's house, there was plenty of room for such events.
In addition to the usual circle of friends, these literary evenings were attended by several young people from the neighborhood and a dashing hussar lieutenant who supposedly had an affection for German literature.
After the usual introductions, tea drinking and discussions Toni and Schamschen alternated reading and reaped copious applause.
Here is the program of the readings:
She teased - he teased - she teased - and so gladly looked at each other
She knew - he knew - she knew - that they were so far from each other
She asked - he asked - she asked - where should this chance lead?
She thought - he thought - she thought - and let fate do what it will
She knew - he knew - she knew that they were so far from each other
She loved - he loved - she loved - and so gladly had each other
So it is in the world - love rules
In invisible ways - Sir Love comes - and seduces
Mocks us in the end - when we are trapped in its skeins
Oh wicked love - careless scoundrel - You have also captured me.
IThe air is pregnant with women - it sighs and moans so much
There by the ruined wall - an old man tells me his tale
Tells me about youth and joy - also tells of trouble and pain
Speaks also of love and sun - speaks of broken hearts
The old one wanted to solve the eternal riddle - the woman
And that was the greatest of sins - broke him in soul and body.
IIAs a youth he was a singer - the happiest man in the world
With women - a heart breaker - luxuriated in youth and money
That was to soon change - he married an angle
It was like heaven on earth - a life of pure sun and dew
But she had greedy eyes - and her desires were great
She wanted the finest luxuries - until their whole fortune was gone.
IIIAnd he gave everything to the sweet one - the money, the love -the jewelry
He laid his soul at her feet - but everything, everything - disappeared
Gone was the joy - gone the harmony
The rays of the sun became cold - but the coldest was - she!
She had forgotten the promises - she only strived heaven high
She had broken his lyre - she left him only the pain.
IVShe froze his heart to ice - and so the years flowed past
So the youngster became an old man - until finally - she - appeared again
An ugly old scarecrow - broken in soul and body
Told a penitent story - she comes now - as a loving wife
The old one shuddered - thought back on his youth
When he sang with his lyre - and on the vanished happiness.
VWoman! Where was your pity? You were my goddess and the world
I carried you on my arm - and you smashed my soul
You broke my lyre - for singing I am now too old
You stole my youth - disappear, you miserable creature
Fly with the angels further - fly up to heaven
Now I am old and experienced - only once, was I a fool!
Several young people accompanied the song with tinkling mandolins and earned hearty applause. Only Zierl with her officer were with their thoughts in another sphere, - no wonder. The evening was a complete success, but because of Zierl's absentmindedness no further literary evenings were scheduled. On the way home, Toni whispered in Zierl's ear, be careful Zierl, you will ruin yourself with this officer.
In the hussar barracks there was a black mood. Because of the affair with Moische Burger the regiment had been ordered to leave the garrison and return to Hungary within one month. With the officers in this nasty state of mind, Zierl as she often did came to visit and remained until late in the night. That was to be fateful for her.
Because she refused to give in to their demands - she was striped naked and the hussars covered her body from head to toe with shoe polish and then they rubbed her with shoe brushes until her body shone and then she was thrown polished and naked out onto the street.
In spite of the fact that it was dark and the street was ill lit, there were plenty of curious on-lookers who drove her home with catcalls and whistling.
For weeks the women of the town had one theme - Zierl and the officer - but Zierl lay sick in bed because of the scandal and the pain that her officer didn't come to her aid.
Since that incident Zierl disappeared and was neither to be seen in Sadagora or on the Baronukfa.
Therefore, anyone who wanted to go to the bathhouse or the Hegdisch would use the path behind Mote Bruckenthal's house.
The Hegdisch (nursing home) consisted of four rooms on one level and the residents living corpses because only miserable abandoned candidates for death were sent there. When now and then good-hearted people brought something, it didn't help much. A death like stillness reigned there.
It was different at the bath. There bedlam reigned. Although the bath was rather roomy, it wasn't large enough to accommodate everyone who wanted to bathe. The stone sweat was especially beloved and to let Friday go by without sweating was a very unhappy situation. Many were so used to the sweat that they would get sick if they didn't have a good sweat. If the Italian poet Dante had visited this sweat bath, he certainly would have included it in his Inferno, because the spectacle of Hell here put Dante's Inferno in the shade.
Immediately after leaving the dressing room, one comes to the besemlech[15] ] and with a knowledgeable eye picks out a leafy one and thus armed grabs a scheffale (water scoop). The rich people are carried by Peretz. Everyone to their place on the highest bench. A ear shattering noise engulfs you as you enter the holy sweat room. Ha hu Peretz pour the water! A Riech in your father, that is my Scheffale, - a brand dir in gorgel, did you bring it for your father, the drunkard? Scha Still order the rich from the topmost bench - quiet, pour more. Ha, ha, ha good, good, a pleasure. Throw a little on the left side Hahaha, huhuhu - Peretz pours another scheffale in the oven (it gets dark from the steam). Oi it burns, already, enough. Peretz, hit harder, still harder. ha, ha, good, a pleasure. Those who had been thoroughly beaten went into the Mikvah[16] to cool off, new sweaters crowded in - and it begins - the capo [musical, repeat from beginning]- holy Dante! Auf dir gesagt, so a portion schwitz. But this stone sweat was good, the entire body red as a crab when you left the bath and you felt like new-born and those who were used to the harmless noise considered it completely normal and would be uneasy if it by chance it got quiet in the bath. The procedure for the women was different.
In Sadagora, family life was holy. The man was master in the house, obeyed by the woman and children, whether rich or poor. The woman was the home maker and as such was honored and treasured. Her greatest pride was to show her friends how yellow she had scrubbed the floor, how snow white laundry was and how the cookware and Shabbat candelabra sparkled like diamonds, how the challah succeeded like Purim Festival Cake. Also the malai (cookies made from corn meal) came out good like a cake. Come on Perale, look here, do you like the malai? Proudly, she shows Perale the malai. Perale doesn't ask much, breaks off a piece of the malai and sticks it in her mouth, and remembers while she is chewing to ask, can I try this? Yes, yes, you should enjoy it, nu? It has a wonderful taste is the answer. And the more capable the hostess is, the greater the pride and respect for the man who has captured such a good home maker. That a married couple would cheat on each other is incomprehensible, illegitimate children? That can only happen with Goyim, not with Jewish daughters.
A woman who has just delivered lies in bed for eight days with all the walls covered with holy papers to keep the bad spirits out. And the midwife took care of everything and told all sorts of stories to pass the time.
As Diene Schimen Elies lay in bed, the midwife told the following tale:
When I was young and began my activity as a bube [midwife], one night someone knocked on my window. Quickly bube, get up. I opened the door and before the house stood a coach with two black horses like stags. Two richly dressed men asked me to quickly take my instruments and go with them to a woman in labor. A look at my alarm clock told me that it was 12 at night. The haunting hour! What should I do? A bube should have no fear. And good angels go with a pious woman. I took everything I needed, read a prayer, took my prayer book and went with God.
The horses ran like possessed, far, far, very far. Finally we halted before a magically lit palace and I was lifted out of the wagon like a child and carried into a salon full of gold and silver. In a four-poster bed lay a girl with a face like a doll in the midst of delivering a child. I knew immediately that it was a devil, but a bube can not have any fear. I recited a prayer again, said Shema Yisroel [famous prayer starting Hear O Israel, the Lord is our God, the Lord is one] three times and took a lusty little boy from her. As I said mazel tov, the gentlemen laughed heartily and gave me a handful of rendlech [a denomination of money]. I knew, however that when the devil gives rendlech, the next day it will turn into coal, so I made the excuse that I only take money in my house, not here. The people looked at each other and said, good, good, we will mail the money to you at home, put me in the wagon and in 10 minutes, I was home. They took me in and left a pouch on the table. I didn't touch it. On the next day, I went to the rabbi, told him all and the rabbi looked at the money. The money is good said the rabbi, use it in good health. That was no fortune, it was only one delivery for a girl and they wanted to conceal it. God should protect Jewish children from such goings-on.
Diene was very excited. Bube, that in not true, how can a girl have a baby without a man?
And the Bube answered, with the devil all things are possible. Superstition was wide spread and was passed from generation to generation.
When women went to the bath, men got out of their way. Thursday the bath was reserved only for women.
Already at 3 pm the bell ringer went through all the streets, ringing a giant bell in a constant beat, screaming pathetically, waaber in bod arain! waaber in bod arain! [women into the bath in a Yiddish dialect]. Meanwhile, he looked through the windows to see if his call was being followed and then immediately stormed into another street with his monotonous peals of the bell and his screams of pain, wabber in bod arain! For as long as one can remember the bell ringer did his holy duty and if he hasn't died, he still screams --- Wabber in bod arain!
Really, I wanted to immortalize the honorable Municipal Councilman Herrn Aron Heitner (familiar name Arale) in my diary and he actually had nothing to do with this guild.
The Ssiggenuren were located way up in a side street of the Baronufka and Municipal Councilman Arale lived in the center of the city and came rarely or never to this quarter. After Herrn Parola who helped the poor, passed away, the office was vacant for a long time and only after Municipal Councilman Arale took over the office, did it again become helpful to the poor.
All the citizens of the city valued the work of this man and only the Chassidim disliked him because he didn't wear a beard, but shaved himself like all Apikorssim and dressed in modern clothes, always wearing a shirt and tie - a real German - but he discharged his duties conscientiously. In this attempt, he had much tsores [trouble] with the Ssiggenuren, against whom, one could never win. But, he was even able to manage them. When in his 76th year of life, he died, not only his wife and 5 children mourned for him, but everyone who knew him. His ashes should rest in peace.
The Ssiggenuren were artists of life, washed with all waters. A well organized guild - a world in itself. Many had their own little house in the house of all that is good- and their children studied in the Kheyder and in the school. Poverty couldn't be seen and no one had ever seen them begging in Sadagora. Was it perhaps an error that one counted them among the beggars?
Ssiggenur means the blind and is also used as a designation for the lame and generally for all people imprisoned for a crime, but our Siggenuren were seldom lame, blind or dumb.
In this labyrinth of secrets, a stranger would have a hard time finding his way around. Even their own children don't understand much of this high science.
Every Sunday, in God's early morning, 3 little wagons stuffed with passengers leave the Ssigenuren's Hochberg in the direction of Czernowitz and surroundings. And Thursday evening, late at night, they come home.
On Friday evening, the children are grilled to find out what they have learned in kheyder and school during the week and afterward, they grab a schwitz in the bath and then prepare for the Shabbat.
Friday evening it was a pleasure to look through the windows - in all the houses on the tables, bentsch (blessing) candles burned in the polished candle holders. The family enjoyed the food at a beautifully set table. And now and then one heard Sabbat songs sung - or Hot a Jüd a Wabale, [A Jew has a little woman] and so on. On Shabbat, a rest from the difficult work of the week was taken, pumpkin seeds eaten and the work plan for the following week discussed.
When the Ssiggenuren came to Czernowitz or to another city in the region, one had to have a heart of stone not to be affected by their misery.
Here comes Hersch the blind with his large dark glasses tapping with his big stick from door to door and crying unceasingly, have pity with a poor blind man.
Mendale Bosnjak supposedly lost his leg in the Bosnian war, a sacrifice for the fatherland. The wooden leg and the medals on his old army coat confirm the truth. Who couldn't have pity on him?
Jankel Braun lost his left arm in a conflagration where he saved the lives of two children. Now on his left shoulder, he carries a katarinka (barrel organ) and cranks with his right arm to get the pity of the onlookers.
Jente the black, hardly 18 years old, was deserted by her worthless charlatan and now she has nothing to feed the poor werml (helpless child) that she carries on her arm. It is remarkable that when she enters a house, the poor werml starts to cry and scream terribly and people gladly give her a handout to stop the noise. Outside, the child stops crying.
The lame woman, nebbish (poor thing), is carried in a specially made carrying sack on the back of her big husband, Gerschon. Her upper body towers out of the sack and she directs her poor blind husband where to go. She takes in the alms because her hands are healthy - only her feet are lamed. Who wouldn't have pity with such an unlucky married couple? One could write volumes about the other special cases.
So, also the Ssigenuren have their special künzl.
To honor Municipal Councilman Herr Aron Heitner, this guild wurde gestreift [ was striped?] in order to prove how difficult his mission was, dealing kindly with such types.
Quod erat - demonstrandum! [QED - Which was to be demonstrated]
The Ahasuerus players were the elite of the masquerade - they came only upon invitation to the finest houses, were paid a minimum of 5 gulden. In the Vatican, at Luser Preiser, by the mayor Dr. Runes and at the famous Burech Tallesmann's they were paid 10 gulden = 20 kronen -1 krone = 50 kreutzer = 100 heller - and a grazer = 2 heller one got a bag of pumpkin seeds from Frosie, whereas 10 gulden = 1 rendl (dukat) was a fortune. Naturally, their first performance was for the rendlich (dukaten) later at the others. Since every performance - including transportation - took an hour, quite often the last performances took place in some houses at 3 am. But it paid, since the performances of these groups were really worth seeing.
Four weeks before Purim the try-outs began on Schülegasse under the direction of Ire Laib melamed, a dignified Talmudist who always played Mordecai [ Esther's cousin, along with her, a hero of the Purim story]. Ahasuerus was played by melamed Schimen Schiker. Ester was played by belfer (melamed's helper) Gerschale, who with his girlish face was made for the part. Haman by the melamed Nute Stopper, in waisusu the belfer Schulem Korsch and the supporting rolls were distributed among other melamedim and belfers and everything succeeded wonderfully. Even a gallows of wood with rope to hang Haman was brought along and the jingle of the bells hung on the gallows gave the troupe a mysterious nimbus. When one added in the cost of the accompanying music, it was an enterprise that involved a great risk. This enhanced the admiration of the population for the effort.
The Mechieras Jossef players were also highly admired and had their own followers. These youngsters went wherever people were having a good time and Josef Hazadik received the most presents. Also this group was accompanied by music and the musicians who were not paid by the organizers, got tips from the housewives.
America was something else. A widely traveled intelligent man who had already been to America got the clever idea to obtain two wooden stilts. On these stilts wearing a red Turkish fez with a dangling black tassel, he went through the streets as - the giant who could look into the second story windows. Armed with a long whip he carried on to the delight of the youngsters. Walking around on the stilts for hours was rather tiring. Often, he had to rest on a window sill in some upper story which the youth applauded as being especially entertaining. The American, however, had other thoughts about that. He had a sickly wife and two children to feed and the numerous Purim gifts which he received didn't last for long. In any case, this künzl paid off and helped him materially to make it to Pesach [Passover]. And so it went, year by year and without the stilt walking American - Purim for the youngsters was like Shabbat without roasted sunflower seeds.
After Purim, he vanished and was seldom to be seen on the street. At home, in a house that was always clean, next to Raimis Taach [Raimis Pond] he sat at a desk and wrote. What he wrote there only he and his pale wife knew. And who in Sadagora would be interested in what he wrote?
In Summer when the children swam in Raimis Taach and made noise, he would come out in the early evening with his pale wife, sit on the prispe (stoop) and watch the children playing until it became dark and then go in again and sit at the desk and wrote.
Their children, a boy and a girl were clean and well behaved in school and always came home with the best grades and never played with the other children.
Frequently a student from Czernowitz came to visit for several days. His face had a melancholy expression and his student cap and the ribbon of his fraternity looked very chic. When he played with the American's children by the pond, he also seemed like a child. He called himself Max and when the children went to bed, he came to the American at the desk and talked and talked until late into the night. After several days, he disappeared and the American again sat alone, or sometimes with his wife at the desk and wrote and wrote.
When he had business in town one day and was signing a document the good natured mayor, Dr. Bunes noticed his style of handwriting and quite confounded asked the American how he came to such a writing style. The American laughed modestly and said several words in explanation. Visibly excited, the mayor asked the American to allow him to visit on Shabbat.
On Shabbat, the mayor came to visit, looked at the manuscripts on the desk and was amazed. The American was a philosopher in disguise, a genius from whom one could learn much. When the mayor recovered from his surprise, he asked in a subdued way how it was possible that a philosopher could clown for the children on stilts on Purim. The philosopher put the papers away and replied: Every individual in the world, in order to exist must have a künzl. Whether a great artist or a small time con man - it's all the same - every occupation is a künzl If you sell stocks or clean the street, it's a künzl that allows you to get by. You are a doctor and cure people - that is your künl - the thief steals from people - that is his künzl. The general commands the army, that is his künzl. The dog wags his tail - that is his künzl. And I stilt walk around on Purim to entertain the young people - that is my künzl. But everything is lies and deception, necessary künzls in order to exist.
The right question is: From which künzl do you live? One person is more successful, the other is less successful. You must have luck and then every künzl will succeed. Not reason, but luck rules.
If your stupidity succeeds - you are a wise man.On the other hand, my work at this desk is not a künzl. To ride Pegasus and write iambic is not a trick but an inborn sickness, driven and hunted by the muse without reacting to rewards. For the surroundings, this sickness is neither contagious or nor harmful, In many cases, even very useful. Clever fool.
If your wisdom fails - you are a fool.
As an expression of my gratitude for your visit, take this notebook with several poems which can't do any harm.
Quickly I wrote for our good natured mayor, a doctor and decent human being, May this bring you happiness.
Visibly delighted, Dr. Runes took the notebook and read:
Friend - Do you want to live rationally? - Remain as you areThe next day he received a letter from the mayor in which he wrote, My dear philosopher, you have to continue to pay the rent, but to your wife so she can fatten herself up and no longer appear so pale - I issue this order not as the mayor, but as a doctor.
Make no useless worries for yourself - no intellectual conflicts.
Enjoy everything - only not to much
In any case to much vacillation - never attains a goal.
So, like the ocean bottom - that a lead line can never reach
Totally in vain - will you research in philosophy.
Take poetry, I plead - or music
It appears to your eyes - as an endless stream.
Swimming frogs in a swamp - croaking, a racket
Speak, great gems of wisdom.
It is all - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -sophistry.
InjusticeEveryone knows there is injustice - the other gets
what he wants.
With melancholy, man moans about his life -
the gods ignore him.
Is an insignificant human really for the gods - so important
and count for so much?
Love and suffer - and longing hope - is really
an eternal game.
It changes again and again - but it is the same merely
Some cry and some laugh - the world continues
About the Russo-Japanese War 1904
IOn the evening of a hot battle
there sat in the cool valley
and bathed himself in triumph
an old general.
IIThe moon's beams fell
on a dead man
and an ugly jackal prepared to eat.
IIIWhat a ghastly animal! What an awful spawn
walks on the old hero
how greedily he laps human blood
the horror - of the battlefield.
IVYes, an abomination - you've got it
excellent - slash with sword.
just one word I want to give
to mankind.
VIf you - man - murder men,
don't fault the animals
The animal only murders, when it has hunger
is otherwise better than you.
Time Thoughts
About the Russo-Japanese WarOther times and other customs? - It always comes out
the same.
Wrestle and fight - make war against each other - was
always a temporal game - without horror.
There were never intelligent times, - always strife
quarrel or war.
If a few little men die - it is measured by the standards of
the present time.
Rather, let us drop this theme - and wait patiently for the
coming peace.
This struggling was earlier, the same now - and eternally
will sound a similar song.
CultureSince men became intelligent - they searched and speculated
out of the unexplored spheres - to gain wonders
Take what they found - make wonder things
Finally - they destroy it themselves
Lie then - - - - - - and laugh.
You are rational - you must be, there will always
be injustice - eternally one complains.
Eternally will one cultivate - model, master - judge
Coarsely, then under a pretense - destroy the culture.
There on the main square in Petrograd,
daily sits - a blind soldier
the chest hollow - covered with decorations -
with dull eyes - he looks - heavenward.
Storm - or rain or - sunshine,
the poor guy shows up punctually.
From morning to evening, - one always sees him,
he plays on the lyre - a sad song.
Oh good people, have pity on me,
believe me, it is terrible, - to be blind.
To sit and beg, - in frost and in snow, -
give a groschen [German coin] - hunger is painful.
Ladies and gentlemen - walk there often,
and know very well - what the poor one wants.
but pity touches them not, - they pass by,
in vain plays the beggar - he doesn't get a kopek [small Russian coin].
People oh people! - Don't hurry so fast,
oh hear the beggar - why he is blind
what crime did he commit - what has he done,
who has condemned him - to eternal night?
Once, also he, - could see the sun,
his body was built like - a cedar
A man - who people everywhere - were glad to see,
the fist was like iron - and power for ten.
Then came a time - when for the Little Father, Tsar
the peaceful times - became to boring.
In order to divert himself - he had a war.
the heroes went into the field - and came back cripples.
And also this poor one - was once a hero
and was sent to the field - for the Tsar,
there he fought courageously - in holy rage,
and there the poor one - lost his eyes.
Therefore, after the war, - the Tsar gave him
medals - and even - this lyre.
Now he can sit - where one sees him,
and hunger - makes him sing - this song.
There on the main square - in Petrograd
daily sits - the blind soldier.
From morning to evening - he can always be seen,
he plays on the lyre - the sad song.Parody on Moris Rosenfeld

Morgan State University
Best dorms If you have an honors scholarship or have a GPA of 3.2 or higher and prefer a calmer living environment, you may want to consider living in the honors dorms: Harper-Tubman for women and Cummings for men. However, the easiest way to meet friends is to live in the freshmen dorms -- Blount Towers for women or Rawlings Hall for men. Best hangouts In the warmer months, the parking lot behind Blount Towers is always a fun place to get together with your friends in the evening. If you are lucky someone may start blasting music from their car and get a mini-party started. Best on-campus wi-fi Both the University Student Center (USC) and Earl S. Richardson Library provide free wi-fi. Use your Morgan log-in to access the internet. If you grab a blanket and sit in the courtyard by the old Soper Library, you can access the internet while catching a few sun rays. Morgan is in the process of installing wi-fi around the entire campus and it is already available in some academic buildings and dorms. Extracurricular activities Get active in extracurricular activities as early as possible. The Office of Student Activities holds an annual Student Organization Fair during fall semester. Visit the fair, snag some free cotton candy and popcorn and sign up for any activities that interest you. Don't forget about joining the academic club for your major. It's a great resource for academic support and internship opportunities. Greek life Morgan has a very active and strong Greek life. All members of the Divine Nine are active on-campus. Intake for the Divine Nine occurs during fall semester and during spring semester for the social fellowships. You have to be at least a sophomore to pledge. Keep your GPA up and good luck. Best on-campus food Stay away from the all-you-can-eat buffet in Rawlings Hall. The only meal worth eating there is breakfast, which is especially good on Sunday mornings. Instead, use your meal plan in the Canteen, located in the University Student Center (USC) for better food options. Best on-campus event Homecoming (pictured) at any historically African-American college or univesity is a momentous event, but at Morgan it is like no other. Buy your package for homecoming early, get dressed to impress and attend the concert, comedy show and fashion show. Don't miss the parade or be surprised if you see alumni cheerleaders hitting cartwheels in heels on the field during game day. Must-see attraction Behind Montebello is the old abandoned haunted alumni house. I'm not telling you to go take a ghost tour at night, but you are a chicken if you don't at least try. --By Krishana Davis, a May 2012 graduate who majored in political science and print journalism

Immediate medical attention can help reduce the impact of shaking, but many children are left with permanent damage from the shaking. Approximately 25% of shaken babies die from their injuries. The remaining victims exhibit a variety of disabilities, including partial or complete loss of vision, hearing impairments, seizure disorders, cerebral palsy, sucking and swallowing disorders, developmental disabilities, autism, cognitive impairments, behavior problems and permanent vegetative state. The treatment of survivors falls into three major categories: medical, behavioral and educational. In addition to medical care, children may need speech and language therapy, vision therapy, physical therapy, occupational therapy and special education services. Some may need the assistance of feeding experts and behavioral consultants.

ABC News' Ingraham: Immigrant Humanitarian Crisis Is "An Invasion Facilitated By Our Own Government"
Blog ››› ››› SOLANGE UWIMANA
Fox News and ABC News contributor Laura Ingraham dismissed the humanitarian crisis that is prompting thousands of unaccompanied children from Central America to illegally cross into the United States, saying that the surge is "an invasion facilitated by our own government." Ingraham stated that "it's not our responsibility" to help these children and criticized the use of military facilities to house them.
As The Wall Street Journal reported, the Department of Health and Human Services estimated that this fiscal year, it will care for 60,000 unaccompanied children, many under the age of 13, who will attempt to cross the U.S.-Mexico border into the United States after fleeing violence in Central America:
Most of the children who HHS cares for are attempting to cross through the Rio Grande Valley and coming from Central America, driven by the dire economic conditions and sustained violence at home, experts say. HHS then keeps the children, typically for 30 to 45 days, until officials can place them with a parent or sponsor, often inside the U.S. The children are then put into deportation proceedings; some are deported but others ultimately are able to stay.
Mexican minors who are apprehended when crossing illegally into the U.S. are almost always repatriated and not referred to HHS for custody and care.
The Journal noted that the Defense Department "has made available facilities at military bases in San Antonio, and Ventura County, Calif., where HHS contractors feed, provide medical care and offer some education for the children."
The Associated Press added: "More than 90 percent of those sheltered by the government are from Honduras, Guatemala and El Salvador, many driven north by pervasive violence and poverty in their home countries."
Discussing the story on her radio show, Ingraham accused the Obama administration of "becoming human traffickers," claiming that the administration is "trafficking illegal immigrants from one part of the country to another part of the country to further erode American wages and further forward their goal of ultimate amnesty and changing the electoral and cultural landscape of the United States forever."
She continued: "It's not our responsibility. And to use our military facilities to house and feed and clothe and give medical attention to people who are law breakers as our own military can't get the proper attention required -- military being left out in the cold as far as their own medical treatment."
Later in the show, she blasted congressional Republicans and Democrats who support immigration reform, including Rep. Eric Cantor and Sens. John McCain and Marco Rubio, for allowing the children into the country. She stated:
INGRAHAM: Make no mistake about it, my friends, this current influx of tens of thousands of new people crossing this border is only being done because of the enticement by Eric Cantor, [Rep. Luis] Gutierrez, Obama, Rubio, McCain, [Sen. Lindsey] Graham, [Sen. Robert] Menendez, [Sen. Charles] Schumer, and the list goes on and on.
She went on to call the crisis "an invasion facilitated by our own government."

Rogers Arena is set to welcome hundreds of new neighbours after Vancouver city council Thursday night approved the development of three new highrise towers by Aquilini Developments and Construction, run by the same family that owns the Canucks.
According to the $300-million plan, which originally favoured condos in the mixed-used development, a total of 614 one-, two-and three-bedroom rental units would be built in stages over the next several years with the last of the towers — between 23 and 32 storeys — completed in the spring of 2016.
The initial construction work has already started on the West Tower, which was earlier approved by the city as a commercial tower.
The company said the West Tower should be ready for occupancy by renters in the spring of 2014 and the second tower in the spring of 2015.
The units, ranging in size from 500 to 900 square feet, would rent for $2.20 to $2.40 per square foot. That means a one-bedroom, 500-square-foot unit would rent for between $1,100 and $1,200 a month, while a three-bedroom, 900-square-foot unit would rent for between $1,980 and $2,160 a month.
The 650,000-square-foot project includes 753 parking spaces and 216,000 square feet of commercial space.

China's mysterious J-31 fighter jet will make its long-awaited debut at the annual China International Aviation & Aerospace Exhibition in Zhuhai on Nov. 11, reports our Chinese-language sister paper Want Daily.
The J-31, also known as "Gyrfalcon," or Falcon Hawk by some military enthusiasts, is a twin-engine, mid-size fifth-generation jet fighter currently under development by Shenyang Aircraft Corporation. The jet is said to be even more mysterious than the J-20, the fellow fifth-generation fighter being developed by the Chengdu Aerospace Corporation.
The J-31 has reportedly been undergoing a series of flight tests to prepare for its official unveiling at the upcoming air show in Zhuhai in southern China's Guangdong province next month. Analysts say it is important for the plane to be fully prepared as its specifications will inevitably be challenged by experts if there are technical issues that have not yet been resolved.
The debut of the fighter jet is said to be of major significance for China's aviation industry. On the one hand the J-31 will show off the maturity of China's stealth technology. On the other, it is believed that the J-31 may become the first figher jet developed by China to enter the global arms market, which could bring in the necessary funds to fund future investments and continue the development of the domestic indistry.

The Sod Rest Lightly
This is the face that greeted me in my Granny Ewen's closet that day so many years ago. It hangs above my mantel to remind me of the heritage that is mine. See "50 Years of Genealogy" in the archive that tells this story.
George Washington Ewen was born March 10, 1858 in Powell Co., KY. He was a horse riding physician in the mountains that surround Natural Bridge State Park, KY. His obituary reads:
"Dr. G.W. Ewen, son of J.R. and Eliza Ewen, was born March 10, 1858 and died July
15th, 1906 at his home near Dundee of bright's disease. The sudden parting of all
earthy ties is hard to bear, and when hearts have been tightly knit in bonds of
loving companionship and closest affection, it is doubly hard. His funeral was
conducted at the home by Revs. Adams and Wright, of the Christian Church, of which
he had been a member 29 years. He had been a Mason 11 years and was a member of
Campton I.O.O.F. of which both fraternities took part in bearing the remains to
its last resting place. Dr. Ewen was a good and generous, big-hearted man, ever
ready to administer to those who were weaker than he. The widow who survives him loses a faithful and affectionate husband; the children a kind and loving parent; the community a citizen of integrity and great moral worth. May the sod rest lightly on his honest breast, and his gentile spirit bask in the sunshine of an eternal Spring."
Taken from the Clay City Times, July 26, 1906.
Our family story was that G.W. was riding to a house call and managed to cut his leg on a new contraption call barbed-wire. Having diabetes (called Bright's disease in his day,)he developed gangrene, needed his leg amputated, and died following this procedure. I have not been able to document any of this story, but I suspect that it is correct. Certainly, the soil rests lightly on his honest breast.

My name is George D. Ewen. I am named for George Earl Ewen, who was named for his father, George Washington Ewen. My Great, Great, Great, Great Grandfather was Timothy Ewen. He fought in the Revolutionary War, first for the Americans then he "switched sides! He served with the Jersey Greens, a Royalists unit. He could not return home to New Jersey after the war so he came to Kentucky, settling in what is now Powell County in 1787. Interesting that his Great Grandson would be named for George Washington!ReplyDelete
Hello cousin George. I have the pictures of George Washington Ewen and his wife Susan Francis Cole over my mantel. See post "Hanging Around". There is still much uncertainty in my mind regarding which Timothy Ewen. Would love to share information.ReplyDelete
Hey, I have found your blog threw google. I am really enjoying it. The George D Ewen above is my cousin. Sadly he passed two weeks ago.ReplyDelete
I am a direct descendant of G.W Ewen as well, from hazard KY. There is about 100 of us on a place call "Big Creek".
Must say I have really enjoyed this, and many of your other post.
Hello cousin...which son of GW was your direct line?ReplyDelete

Gone are the days when most cars wore their hearts on their valve covers. Tidy simplicity has given way to plastic soul and the art of the cover-up. It's time to revolt: Kill this junk. Kill it now.
It used to be so simple: You opened the hood, you saw some cool stuff, and you were happy. Even if you didn't understand what was going on, you grabbed a flashlight and got busy. You stared. You poked. Maybe you even disconnected something, curious as to why this sensor ran into that harness and what the whole thing was about. Time evaporated. Man and machine. Ape and monolith. It was good.
No more. We live in an age of perpetual polish, and if something isn't smoothed and groomed within an inch of its life, then Johnny Public doesn't get to see it. The engine cover is the mechanical equivalent of an aging supermodel's photoshopped thighs, a mass-consumption fantasy that shows the rubes only what they want to believe. I am clean. I am strong. I will not hurt you. Machinery as politically correct pal.
To hell with that. The internal combustion engine is a dirty, mean and unruly thing, and while it grows more domesticated with every passing year, it is still a bloody, saw-toothed beast. It inhales flammable poison and carries thousands of volts in its belly. It hurls chunks of iron, steel, and aluminum around with enough force to saw a man in two. It is raw, it is crude, and I'm tired of the whitewash. The engine cover must die.
This is not a rarefied opinion. People like displays of the engineer's art, and even your TV-addled next-door neighbor will cast a glance at the small-block in his senile Silverado after he brings it home from the used-car lot. Hell, my grandmother used to look at the engine in every car she bought, and she didn't know an exhaust valve from an exorcism. If you listen to the marketing men, the engine cover was designed to serve these people, to reduce noise and necessary visual roughness. Poppycrap. These people would be better served by a punch in the mouth.
Admittedly, the cover is not a universal evil. In the supercar world, visual flamboyance is a necessity, and the engine bay of the average exotic is a masterpiece of clear-eyed presentation and elegant madness. Track specials and featherweight sports cars, predictably, don't bother with plastic lily-gilding. And the low-production fringe dwellers, including the electric-car crowd, free themselves by eschewing traditional anything. But these are the exceptions. The engine cover dwells in the land of random disappointment (BMW 760Li? A 6.0-liter, twin-turbo V-12 is under there? I've seen sexier things in line at Old Country Buffet), and its presence is neither logical nor predictable.
A few sense-free examples:
• Acura TL vs. Chevrolet Corvette ZR1. You can walk into an Acura dealership and buy a luxury sedan with a Buck-Rogers-meets-Sally-Sexbot pile of silver love under its hood (the V-6 you see above), but the 600-hp Corvette ZR1 rolls off the line with a gaudy-ass jim hat stuck on top of its supercharger. You might as well be eye-humping a Toyota Prius's battery pack. They cut a window in the hood for that?
• The Mazda RX-8. I don't care if it's almost dead. This is the one and only rotary-powered car left, and its engine bay could double for a California Closet as laid out by a comatose Martha Stewart. So what if the Renesis looks like garbage without its clothes on? For all intents and purposes, so did the 13B, and everybody loves that thing. Madza, let the RX-8's mill run naked. You make sports cars, for chrissakes, not filing cabinets.
• The Lexus IS-F. (top image). The first truly bonkers car from a marque not known for bonkers. Lexus's product planners wanted it to be different, so what did they do? They gave it the lid off a Rubbermaid garbage can. Lift that lid up, and you find a hairy mass of runners and wiring harness and hell-for-leather, capital-T Toyota. You ever look under the hood of a Mercedes-Benz C63 or a BMW M3? Ubersedan people like the freak flag. Fly it.
Man must have his machine. The need for a kickass underhood landscape is impossible to overstate. These things do not always make sense, and they are not always logical. Hell, one dude built himself a Fieroghini, stuck a much-modified, 600-hp LT1 in its rump, and then spent countless hours crafting a fake Lamborghini V-12 to go on top of it:
If that doesn't tell you that people have complex relationships with engines, then I don't know what will.
On a certain level, it all comes down to this: A machine's appearance is a window into its soul. You can stare into an exhaust header or a block casting and see the faces of the men behind them. You can learn about a company by examining how its engineers approached a specific task, and how proud they are of their work. Even if you aren't a gearhead, the car can be a source of pretty strong feelings, and an engine is a powerful emotional switch. And you cannot spend a Sunday afternoon drinking beer and gazing lovingly into a piece of plastic.
One more thing: Although I identify with the enthusiast — everyone loves an artful intake runner — I also speak for the common man. The enthusiast can open his hood and yank out whatever he likes, spinning wrenches until he's happy with what he's got. Joe Ordinary is at the mercy of the automaker. And while most of America may not be aware of what's happening, there is a silent majority that is aching for something more. They are being pandered to and left out in the cold, and while they're not exactly sure what's wrong, they do not like it. And they need our help.
For their sake, walk out into your driveway. Pop the hood. If there's a flat, soulless pile of polymer staring back at you, give it the finger. Rip it off, light it on fire, and watch it burn. When the flame finally goes out, ship that hunk of crap back to its maker, melted goop and all. It probably won't make a damn bit of difference, but every great journey starts with a single step.

Dallas Cowboy Roy Williams Gets Engagement Ring Back from Former Miss Texas After Filing Lawsuit [VIDEO]
Dallas Cowboy wide receiver Roy Williams picked a rather unique way to propose to his girlfriend, Brooke Daniels, who held the title of Miss Texas in 2009.
In February, he sent Daniels a package that included $5,000, a videotaped messages of him popping the question, and a $76,000 engagement ring.
Daniels obviously didn't find Williams impersonal request to be his life-partner appealing because she declined the offer, and the two are no longer together.
When Williams asked Daniels for the ring back, she said it had been lost. A subsequent insurance investigation uncovered that the ring was actually in the possession of Daniels' father.
Now, Williams is suing the Daniels' for return of the ring.
Texas law states that an "engagement ring be returned to the donor upon termination of the engagement, if the donee is at fault in terminating the engagement. If the donor is at fault, the ring doesn't have to be returned."
So, if this case ever makes it to court, it will probably hinge on whether an awful proposal technique constitutes being "at fault" for a failed engagement.
Check out a video of Daniels being crowned Miss Texas, below.

By Kathryn Kopchik
LEWISBURG, Pa. — Two Bucknell University student groups each have received a $10,000 Projects for Peace grant from the Davis Foundation.
The grants will support expansion of a bicycle project in Uganda and the launch of a campaign to improve prenatal care and combat high infant mortality rates in Sierra Leone.
Bicycles Against Poverty
Bicycles Against Poverty (BAP), which provides microloans to Ugandan farmers to purchase bicycles, was launched in 2008 by Bucknell senior civil engineering and economics major Muyambi Muyambi, a Uganda native. Since 2009, BAP has distributed 290 bicycles in the village of Gulu.
Building on the increased availability of bicycles, Bucknell engineering students designed three projects to improve the daily efficiency of Ugandan farmers and provide opportunities for a supplemental income.
The projects are a bicycle cart, a bicycle taxi trailer and a bicycle-powered grain grinder. All three devices were designed to be manufactured at low cost with locally available materials.
Easily attached to the back of most standard bicycles, the cart is designed to carry up to a 200-pound load, increasing the quantity of goods that can be transported to market. The estimated cost of manufacturing each cart is $44.
A variation on the cart is a taxi trailer, designed to increase the number of people that a bicycle can transport. Built at an estimated cost of $63, the cart could ferry children to and from school or passengers in Gulu-town.
The grain grinder would shorten the amount of time women in the remote villages of northern Uganda spend pounding and grinding sorghum and millet for their daily bread. This more efficient grain-grinding method would reduce the work burden on children and allow them to attend school. The estimated cost of manufacturing is $43, with an estimated time savings of 45 to 67 minutes per day.
Bucknell students responsible for the project are senior mechanical engineers Kevin Matthews and Brian Chiu, and first-year students Thomas Apruzzese, a mechanical engineering major, and Tom Bollinger, a chemical engineering major.
This is the second Davis Projects for Peace grant received by the BAP program. A group of 10 Bucknell students traveled to Uganda in the summer of 2009 where they distributed 100 bicycles and repair tool kits. While in the country, the students held community-building activities and workshops to teach bicycle maintenance and repair.
'Hear our Cry'
The second project aims to improve birth rates in Sierra Leone by raising awareness of a recent government-funded healthcare program for pregnant or breastfeeding mothers as well as children under 5 years old.
Nadia Sasso, a Bucknell senior majoring in English and sociology, will travel to West Africa this summer to deliver 1,000 maternal kits and incentive packages to the Bo Government Hospital.
Accompanying Sasso will be fellow Bucknellian Sowande Parkinson, a five-year student majoring in civil engineering and economics who is a native of Sierra Leone; Marie Mansaray, the current Miss Sierra Leone-USA; and a certified nurse and a translator.
According to UNICEF, Sierra Leone has the worst record for prenatal care, with one in eight women dying during pregnancy or childbirth. The country's high infant and maternal mortality rate can be traced to irregular immunizations, lack of vitamin A supplements, lack of hydration and unsanitary equipment.
During a two-week visit this summer, the team will meet with local authorities, deliver maternal/childbirth kits, help trained professionals facilitate hospital staff training in kit usage, and deliver incentive packages to women who attend simple maternal care workshops facilitated by hospital staff. The incentive kits will include baby lotion, baby wash, ointment and teething cream, all viewed as luxuries in Sierra Leone.
Five-year participant
"This is the fifth year that Projects for Peace has run and Bucknell has participated each year," said Paula Myers, assistant dean of students at Bucknell and director of International Student Services.
"Our students have worked on providing clean drinking water in Tumaipa, South America; establishing a sewing co-op in Guatemala; designing a water pumping station in El Porvenir, Nicaragua; making a documentary video on the plight of the banana workers in Nicaragua; and establishing a bicycle co-op for two villages in northern Uganda, a project that has become Bicycles Against Poverty," she said.
Building peace throughout the world
In its fifth year, the Projects for Peace program honors philanthropist Kathryn Wasserman Davis, who launched the initiative on her 100th birthday in 2007. Each of the 100 projects selected are designed to encourage and support motivated youth to create and implement their ideas for building peace throughout the world in the 21st century.
University students from more than 90 campuses will collectively receive more than $1 million in funding during the summer of 2011 for projects in all regions of the world.
"The competition was keen and we congratulate the students who proposed the winning projects," said Executive Director of the Davis UWC Scholars Program Philip O. Geier. "Kathryn Davis was motivated to establish Davis Projects for Peace because she felt a great sense of urgency about an elusive goal: peace in the world. She felt frustrated that older generations had failed in that great quest. Kathryn's vision has motivated young people, and they have drawn inspiration from her."
"I want to use my birthday to once again help young people launch some initiatives that will bring new energy and ideas to the prospects of peace in the world," said Davis. "My many years have taught me that there will always be conflict. It's part of human nature. But love, kindness, and support are also part of human nature, and my challenge to these young people is to bring about a mindset of preparing for peace instead of preparing for war."
A complete list of the participating schools and projects, as well as a summary of all previous projects and a video interview with Davis from 2006, is available on the program's website.

Blues KOd by Tyson
Substitute Nathan Tyson bagged the winner six minutes from time as Derby bounced back from successive defeats with a 3-2 win over Birmingham.
Tyson put the Rams ahead for a third time after Conor Sammon's two goals were cancelled out by Marlon King's penalty and a Peter Lovenkrands header.
Birmingham went into the game looking for a first win in three and it was they who threatened first when Serbian striker Nikola Zigic teed-up Hayden Mullins but the midfielder dragged his fifth-minute drive wide.
Wade Elliott was the next to go close for Lee Clark's men when his left-footed effort rustled the side-netting of Adam Legzdins' goal.
Former Wigan man Sammon then put the Rams in front just after the half-hour mark albeit in controversial circumstances.
Michael Jacobs cut in from the left to fire a right-footed shot which Butland turned onto the left-hand upright only for the for the Irish striker, who was clearly stood in an offside position, to head his third goal of the season into the empty net.
Nigel Clough's men pushed for a second and Theo Robinson saw an effort deflected behind before Craig Bryson fired over when well-placed inside the penalty area following John Brayford's cutback.
Home fans appealed for a penalty a minute before the break after winger Jacobs tussled with Jonathan Spector but referee Nigel Miller opted to book the 21-year-old wideman for diving.
Marlon King came close to restoring parity 11 minutes into the second period but, after breaking clear, he was narrowly beaten to the ball by keeper Legzdins which bounced off the Blues striker and behind for a goal kick.
Sammon's curling effort at the other end three minutes later was easily claimed by Butland before full-back Spector was booked following a rash challenge on Jacobs.
Robinson should have doubled Derby's lead in the 63rd minute, but he powered a left-footed effort over the bar after pulling off Blues defender Davies.
The Rams' 17-year-old midfielder Will Hughes tested Butland from range after 67 minutes before Birmingham's West Ham loanee Robert Hall flashed a shot wide and fellow substitute Lovenkrands curled a free-kick over from the edge of the box.
King then levelled proceedings from the penalty spot, sending Legzdins the wrong way following Richard Keogh's foul on teenager Hall.
The former Watford striker almost put his side ahead five minutes later when his deflected shot came back off the Derby crossbar.
Sammon scuffed a left-footed shot across Butland and into the far corner to restore the lead 10 minutes from time, only for substitute Lovenkrands to flick Spector's right-wing cross past Legzdins two minutes later.
But the home side were not to be denied and Tyson, who replaced Robinson in the 72nd minute, poked in Jacobs' centre to extend Birmingham's winless run to three.
