Reading to underprivileged kids, learning from our elders,
visiting a homeless shelter, feeding the hungry, helping the environment...
These are the responsibilities of Mitzvah Corps.
In Mitzvah Corps, students will become empowered to respond to important societal issues such as education, senior-citizen care, diversity, hunger, homelessness and climate change. This year-long program is divided into seven units, each focused on a different issue. Each unit includes a learning, action and reflection session.
« Take a glimpse
at our innovative service-learning program.
« Watch a video of our Mitzvah Corps students discussing their experiences.
« Download our 2013-2014
Action Sessions — Students will participate in hands-on community service events with their classmates at organizations that are fighting for the cause of each unit.
Reflection Sessions — Students will react to their experiences at the action sessions and discuss with their classmates ways to better respond to the selected issues.
Schedule — Learning and reflection sessions are held during Religious School hours, Sunday or Wednesday. (Students may choose to attend either day.) Action sessions may meet outside of school hours.
Throughout the year, students earn Mitzvah Messenger points for the completion of units (attending the learning, action and reflection session for a unit), attendance at special sessions, family participation or other projects. All students who complete at least one Mitzvah Corps unit will be honored at a family dessert reception in the spring. Students will be applauded for their commitment toward making the world a better place, and families will be joined for a special evening that strengthens our sense of community. Students who earn 18 points will be honored by the community publicly as "Mitzvah Messengers," and students who earn 25 points will be honored as "Super Mitzvah Messengers." These students will receive special recognition at the Mitzvah Corps dessert reception and on the final day of Religious School.
Complete the Religious School registration form (available in Word and PDF formats) and return it to the Department of Lifelong Learning. Participation in Mitzvah Corps is available only to students whose families are members of Congregation Emanu-El. The 2013-2014 tuition fee is $1,075 ($50 discount for registration forms and payments received by July 31, 2013).

Hello :) I brought the sleeping bag for my 10 month old son. I dont have a p+t buggy just as yet, but fits pretty well in my steelcraft pram :) I love this sleeping bag because i dont have to put 3-4 blankets into the pram while going for a walk or out on the farm to keep him warm which is very good :) Absolutely recommend this!!!!

Hi Linz - thanks so much for your review! By way of assistance: the snuggle&snooze has slots for both shoulder straps and the safety harness. If you feed the straps through the most suitable slots you're able to harness your child into the buggy, inside the s&s. Hope that helps!

this is a fantastic extra for my P&T it keeps my 18mth old daughter fanmtastically snug and warm right up to her chin, i think she sleeps better in this and the pushchair than her bad and always stays toastie warm and its a fantastic size. my only niggle and it drives me potty is that you cant attach it to the pushchair anyway so it slides down and out of place when you put baby/toddler in and out, i find im constantly fiddling and readjusting it to make sure its comfortable and in the right position!
We bought this (in red) for our son's first winter in Vermont when he was about 6 months old. We used it ALL the time in our P&T Sport and most days he needed no other outerwear at all except for his cosy balaclava and hat. We put it away hopeful that it would be just as good for him this winter too - it is, even tho at 18 months he's 95th centile for height - he still fits in perfectly. Wonderful snuggly coziness for my boy. DEFINITELY recommend it. It's particularly great because it's impossible (and not recommended) to fit my boy into his car seat with his winter coat on so we just layer up a couple of thinner tops and a fleece for traveling then pop him straight into the stroller and sleeping bag and he's good to go! FAB.
Thanks %user_name%

Amy Rees Anderson, Contributor
I share my insights as an entrepreneur turned mentor & angel investor
Behind every company, whether it's a multinational corporation or the smallest startup, is an intersection of talent. Each person is uniquely capable of performing their job: the company spokesperson is a gifted public speaker; the administrative assistant is a master multi-tasker; and the CEO is excellent at setting the vision and leading the team.
Every one of us came into this life having our own unique talents. Some are obvious such as music, dance or writing, while others have less apparent ones like the ability to appreciate others or sensitivity to others' feelings. Whether your talents are publicly obvious or not, they can become very powerful in your life if you recognize them, develop them, and appreciate them.
Alone, our individual talents are powerful, but when combined with others unique talents, they can become unstoppable. Every great business idea or invention is the product of worthwhile talent, but it takes a team with many different talents to bring those ideas to fruition. That is why getting the right people into the right seats on the bus is essential to a company's success.
A perfect example of this is a startup company I recently decided to invest in called Orabrush. Orabrush went from being a simple product, to becoming an amazing technology platform that leverages YouTube to market innovative products and build ecommerce brands. I would describe them as the QVC of YouTube. So how did they make such an amazing transformation? It was the result of getting the right people into the right seats on their bus.
Orabrush's story began with inventor Robert "Dr. Bob" Wagstaff. At an age where most would have retired, he was working to get his tongue cleaner into people's mouths. Dr. Bob knew that 90 percent of bad breath comes from a dirty tongue, and he was certain he had invented the very best tool for removing those bacteria. He wanted to bring the gift of fresh breath to everyone, everywhere, but no one seemed interested in Dr. Bob's vision – retailers said no and oral care companies didn't want to buy his patent. Even after spending $40,000 on an infomercial, he only sold 100 orders. Dr. Bob was a talented inventor, but he was not a fabulous marketer.
In desperation, Dr. Bob asked a group of University students in a market research class to come up with new ways to market his tongue cleaner online. One student, Jeffrey Harmon, offered to help Dr. Bob and created a YouTube video marketing the Orabrush as the very best cure for bad breath. That video went viral, garnering more than 18 million views! Jeff's campaign was a huge success and today the company has one of the top sponsor channels on YouTube, just behind brands like Apple and Old Spice, which is truly amazing considering how small their marketing budget is in comparison! Jeff Harmon was a talented marketer, but neither Jeff nor Dr. Bob were a fabulous CEO.
With the talented inventor, and the talented marketer, Orabrush needed to add a talented CEO who could take the company to the next level. That's when the company recruited Jeff Davis, a former P&G (Procter and Gamble) executive with nearly 25 years of consumer goods experience, to provide vision and leadership that would bring Orabrush products to more than 30,000 retail stores in 15 countries.
A company's success is not possible without each person's individual contributions and unique talents. In Orabrush's case, there's three generations working together who capitalized on their individual strengths to get this company off the ground. As each individual on their team continues to develop their own talents, the company continues to innovate and grow. The latest invention from 78-year-old Dr. Bob is Orapup, the first-ever tongue cleaner for dogs that will allow dog owners everywhere to celebrate better breath from their best friends. Once again, this talented team unified efforts on YouTube and brought Orapup to market in an unconventional way, raising more than $750,000 in preorders.
Orabrush's story is a great example of the success that comes when a team of talented people come together and each contributes their unique abilities. I have no doubt that with the right people in the right seats on their bus they are headed down the road to success, and I am happy to be along for the ride.

Absolutely fantastic article!
Common sense is something that prevails us as humans a lot of the time, and sometimes a gentle reminder of the trait is exactly what we need. This article has done just that, the correct candidate in the correct position, mirrors that of the old phrase, right place right time.
Once you mix one's quality and skills with the right stream, excellence is guaranteed to take place, to take place.
How often do we find ourselves going down a path, to which we have no passion, and if we are completely honest no real skill or value in that field, to which we are more often that not surprised that we don't excel in that area.
Sticking to our guns is a great way to be, we know what we do best, we know our talents and once harvested this propels passion ensuring that the task we carry out is arguably the best it can be.
Thanks for this article Amy, really impressed.
Its no secret where your skills lie, and as they say, keep on doing what your doing, your articles are insightful and engaging and bring across topics that sometimes we just need a little reminder of.
I get paid over $87 per hour working from home with 2 kids at home. I never thought I'd be able to do it but my best friend earns over 10k a month doing this and she convinced me to try. The potential with this is endless. Heres what I've been doing Epic2.c om
While your comments are spot on, you should probably give some credit to Jim Collins for using his phrase and his idea from "Good to Great". The title of your post is clearly not your own!
Hi Amy!! Another fantastic read for CEO's, Senior Managers, or Entrepreneurs thereto as I think building anything takes the "Right" parts and being able to see where the these pieces fit into the puzzle defines the overall "Success" of the Organization. As always, thanks for sharing your knowledge as many of us read your articles not only for pleasure yet more importantly as wisdom being passed down. Hoping all is extra-ordinary!!
Amy, I love your focus on people issues. We too often neglect these!
It's okay to work your butt off, provided you get recognition for it. Get rid of the crybabies and whiners and you'll have a successful company.
Dear Mentor, Its a Nice Success story you have put here , But people like me and how many of them got success in such a way Like Dr. is a Billion Dollar question ? , Country to Country approach to a Invention product changes. INVENTION product has a negative demerits in communicating the product to a Financial partner or a Investor okay. Like CONCEPT SELLING i feel , because that's the New product , only associated old product we can REFER for similarity in Invention. Intelligent people are available with Invention al product today , but Financial partner / Investment on the right time is the Big problem i have faced with my product of low Gasoline fuel and generating Electricity power for a state with small battery etc. i was disappointed with the system in my country as a ordinary working class , who can't dream ????? I being a self claimed specialist Human Resource , everyone with whom i interact about my field , they surprised to know , but don't want a change. Anyway i feel its my honour to follow your article here. Thanks
If you think Ryan`s story is good,, last pay-cheque my son in law basically also recieved a check for $6341 putting in a thirteen hour week from home and the're co-worker's step-aunt`s neighbour did this for 4 months and easily made more than $6341 part time from there computer. applie the information on this address, ……….

human centric thoughts are always in the right direction : progress & success of each organization ! thx Amy

I loved the costume thogh there would be teens and children. I mean it was *NOT ENOUGH* to cover your butt, Fiona.
Last edited by RunnersHigh; 07-16-2012 at 04:05 PM. Reason: Rink changed from Kings on ice to Artisry on ice.
This too will pass away.
Indeed Jenny811, ATS's cast never disappoints. They are all World medallists and great skaters. And the Korean audience ..... energetic, welcoming and appreciative. What more can a skater ask for! Wonder whether Jin-Seo will be skating too? As usual, already looking forward to the vids downloads for the ever fast moving skating fans in August.
As long as Lambiel is involved I like every cast
Great ladies choice, love all of them.

SOUTH PLATTSBURGH — Airborne Modified champion Todd Stone kept Jessey Mueller at bay in the closing laps of the Mike Watts Memorial 100 and closed out the racing season with his seventh win Sunday.
Mueller had trimmed Stone's lead to three car-lengths and was looking for more when the third and final caution came out on lap 88. The single file restart put Mueller on Stone's bumper for a 13-lap shootout, but at the drop of the green, Stone rebuilt his lead and Mueller couldn't ever get to him.
Andy Lindemann was the best of the rest in 3rd. Lindemann led the first 34 laps before Stone went by. Chris Cayea was a strong 4th, followed by Andy Heywood.
Robin Wood won the Adirondack Water Limited Late Model championship in style by dominating the 25-lap feature for his 4th win. Wood had the Ganienkeh Bingo/Rent-A-Wreck No. 61 on the point by lap 7 and was never headed. Danny Sullivan was the runner-up with Bucko Branham 3rd.
Wood's championship effort was co-sponsored by Leland's Barber Shop and Daniels Signs. "I want to thank my Dad, my crew chief Tyler (Wood) and Niki," Wood said. "I got a good early run on some cars and then it came down to keeping Danny behind me."
Codie Aubin of Plattsburgh drove the RPM Wired.com No.7 to his first career-win in the Sportsman Modified feature which was red-flagged on the second lap for a mutli-car wreck on the frontstretch that left Lonnie Rivers' car on top pf Nick heywood's machine and knocked four cars out of the race.
Aubin caught Jake Branham for the lead on lap 18. Mike Phinney closed for 2nd. Branham held off Mark Lamberton for a podium finish.
Robert Gordon of Milton, Vt. won the Renegade feature. Gordon's 2nd win of the season gives him 15 career wins — tops on the all-time Renegade list. Lance Rabtoy of Fairfax, Vt. battled Ryan Boutin for 2nd, settled for 3rd and then celebrated his first Renegade track championship.

Debian Project Pleased with Ten Times Faster Build Server
The Debian project was given a new server from Thomas Krenn AG, Intel and Adaptec for its image building. With the Dual-Xeon computer the build process was reduced from 20 to two hours.
New in Debian's infrastructure is the SC846 server with a 4-unit height and two Intel Xeon E5540 processors. While the previous five-year-old system took 20 hours for a build, the new one took less than two hours, according to the project and its benefactor, Thomas Krenn AG, in a joint press release.
A build speed factor of ten? "The people at Thomas Krenn were just as excited as we were," Alexander Reichle-Schmehl of the Debian press team revealed to Linux Magazine Online. Debian project lead Steve McIntyre went further: "To get the best possible out of the new system, I ran a series of benchmarks with various configurations: various RAID levels, various filesystems and so on. The figures that emerged were truly astounding."
In the Debian project the cdbuilder computes the official ISO images after all the software packages are completed for the release. A critical point in the project's opinion is that Debian users expect the ISO files on short notice. The completed images are copied to the built-in RAID array connected to an Adaptec ASR5445Z controller and 24 SAS disks, and from there to multiple mirror servers from which Debian users download them.
The Thomas Krenn company wants to "give something back" to the community with its support, according to supervisory board chairman Max Wittenzellner. The south German company itself uses Debian for its critical services and profits well from Debian and the entire open source community. Its "We Care for Linux" website is a testimonial for its support of the open source world. The CPUs for the server are from Intel and the RAID adapters are from Adaptec.
The 24 hard drives are also from Freyung in Bavaria where Thomas Krenn has its headquarters. They are funded by regular donations, said Reichle-Schmehl. In particular, support for the image building system comes from the Debian-related Association for the Advancement of Free Software and Information (FFIS) in Oldenburg, Germany.
DebianI am contemplating starting and operating a Debian server for http://www.beatsbylexx.com
Debian ServerI am contemplating starting and operating a Debian server for a few of my webpages, however the first would be http://www.worldhiphopbeats.com . I am currently in the planning / information gathering stage, but I hope to have the ball rolling within the next 30 days.
Debian ServerHaving your own debian server means that you are the provider of yourself. If you are the provider of yourself, you will have to use your own server and infrastructure to provide yourself IT services. Providing IT services to yourself, means that you have to be able to keep your site secure. Installing a debian server is quite easy but keeping it secure, is kind of tricky. If you want to run your own debian server, you can use one of the many debian servers out there. I managed to install everything and the result is here: http://www.florist-flowers-roses-delivery.com/

I'm just in this disgustingly liminal space right now. Like when my boots pinch my ankle and i want to change them more than anything in the world but i'm waist-deep wading in snow. So snow boots are what i have to wear, too bad for blisters.
February always feels choppy to me, like the lack of three extra days makes every week compressed. And somehow, the sun setting at 5 and the snow that never ends is making every day stretch to the last crumb on the plate of a dinner i didn't want to eat.
God, there are too many metaphors here. I'm taking a Short Story writing class, which i am gaga for, but it's also seriously making me doubt every word i write. Is that too cliché? I ponder, pummeling into the keys. Poppins, whose now almost nine months old and still kitten-sized, has a new hobby: prying off keyboard keys. My "o" is affixed at a 45 degree angle for life, now. So i'm really pummeling the pondering keys here.
I'm ready for Lent. This Ordinary Time, endless February days in a month that shrank in the wash, is so last season.
I've got one foot squarely in Durham now, acceptance letter to grad school gratefully in hand. Really, i've got my fingers wrapped so metaphorically tight around it they're Devil blue. But cupcake M&Cs at Mount Holyoke tell me i should feel sad it's my last semester. I should have been all mopey when the 100 days to graduation banner went up in the campus center. Instead all i could do was whittle them down to the double-digits. Three weeks on a campus and then J is here. I'm done with the liminal, the liminal of long-distance, the liminal of last semesters, the liminal of bloody February and its bloody habit of cramped days that go on for 28 hours a piece.
Lent, though mopey in its dearth of Allelulias, has purpose. There's the counting and the fasting and the focus. Advent is all in the waiting, the anticipation. I like Advent for the hopeful expectation, i dive into Lent for purpose in the slog. Especially in New England. Spring is kind of a rare commodity here – every April i've been through in MA has gone from gritty, grey snow to mud and sun-bathing in the span of about a week.
But for now, i'll just keep griping about the blisters on both feet. And trying to remind myself i'm lucky to have shoes and really, i should just eat my damn cupcake and get over myself.

Horror storytelling. What is it?
It's fantasy, that's what it is. And to be more specific, it's escapist fantasy. In horror you get to involve yourself in the worst shit imaginable, and not only live to tell about it, but walk away smiling. And what exactly are you escaping, if your fantasy is HORROR? Boredom. Humans are violent, thrill seeking animals with a need to risk their asses, break stuff and best their competition.
It's that simple.
And how do we get there? How do we let ourselves really be terrified when it's not really happening? Willing suspension of disbelief. That's how. We've heard that term a lot, but what exactly does it mean? It means that someone (the storyteller or filmmaker) has agreed to tell you a fantastical story, and someone else (the audience) has agreed "willingly" to accept the story as fact, and go for the ride, without being a douchebag and saying "Nuh uh. That can't happen."
Within horror filmmaking there are two kinds of "whys."
The first one deals with motivation of character, and should always be addressed by the storyteller. Why does she want to go into that dark room? Why did they come back to the cabin if they knew there was a monster in the basement? Why don't they just leave the house if it's haunted?
If you don't answer character motivation questions, the audience will crucify you, and frankly, you fuckin' deserve it.
But there's another "Why?" that, in my opinion anyway, should never EVER be answered. And it's the big picture "Why?" It's the macro "Why?"
Rather than spin my wheels trying to describe this "Why?" let me just share some examples of what fantasy and horror storytellers might have been up against throughout history with people who were unwilling to suspend disbelief.
Ancient Greek Storyteller: So I've got this story of a magical horse called a Pegasus, and it flies--
Ancient Greek Development Executive: Wait. Why? A horse? Horses can't fly…
Ancient Greek Storyteller: Yeah, but this one is magical and what happens is—
Ancient Greek Development Executive: That's ridiculous. No one will like that story. How about we make it a bird?
Ancient Greek Storyteller: sigh
Okay, now cut to Bram Stoker, pitching his story to an equally challenged mind…
Bram: Okay, I got this story about a guy who's dead, but rises from the grave—
Victorian Development Executive: Wait. If he's dead, he can't move…
Bram: I know, but go with me on this. See, every night he rises from the grave to drink blood-
Victorian Development Executive: Blood? Ew. Why?
Bram: It's the elixir of life. It represents wine, sex, life—
Victorian Development Executive: Yeah but. "Why?"
Bram puts a gun in his mouth and pulls the trigger out of frustration and thus, the world never knows who Dracula is…
You get the picture. When it comes to fantasy, it's really easy to throw a stick in the spokes of the storyteller with that lame-ass question of "Why?" Whenever I get that question from a Hollywood studio exec, I sigh and shake my head a little, and realize I'm in the room with someone who doesn't get it.
Why do werewolves change at the full moon and not the new moon? Wouldn't hunting be easier for them on darkest night? Why are zombies violent? Why do Michael Myers and Jason Voorhees keep coming back to life? Why are ghosts see-through? Why is the Overlook Hotel "bad?" Why does Satan choose Linda Blair's character, the daughter of an on-location actress in Washington D.C and not... say... the Pope?
The willing suspension of disbelief is really a contract between storyteller and audience. The storyteller agrees to tell a fantastical story. The part about willing to suspend your "Nuh-uh" factor comes from the audience.
So for all you storytellers out there, just tell your story. No matter how dark or bizarre. No one remembers the idiots who nay-sayed Stoker or Poe or Lovecraft or any of the other greats. They remember the storytellers, and they remember their amazing creations. Just cover your bases on character motivation, but let the audience figure out the big "Why?" for themselves. After all, that's their job. Look, if you answer the who, what, when and where, the least they can do is answer the "why?", right?
Gaudium per Atrox.

COURTLAND — A gravel mine has been proposed for 38 acres of land about two miles southwest of Courtland.
The pit was mined in the '30s and '40s but sat vacant after that, said Mandy Landkamer, environmental services director for Nicollet County.
She said managing water runoff and minimizing traffic conflicts are among the most important factors regulators examine before granting a gravel-mining permit.
The applicant, Brian Thompson of Nicollet, worked with the local Soil and Water Conservation District to limit impacts to the Minnesota River, which is more than 1,000 feet south of the proposed site. An erosion plan will help ensure rock and dirt aren't carried into the river by the mining operation.
The mine's main access is on County Road 25, to the north of the site.
The Nicollet County Planning and Zoning Commission will review the request during its Feb. 25 meeting, at 7:45 p.m. in the Nicollet County Government Center. Nicollet County staff is recommending a series of conditions be placed on the mine, including that it get a permit from the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency.
If approved, this would be the county's 13th gravel mine. Landkamer said it's of an average size for mines in this part of the county.
It would be the county's 13th such mine.
The Free Press was unable to reach the applicant.

Resolutions are Overrated
This Sunday morning, the Starbucks was eerily silent. Three baristas; no waiting. This was in direct contrast to what I had seen the last few weeks; a glut of holiday drinkers lined up to and outside the door waiting for gingerbread lattes, peppermint cappuccinos, pumpkin scones, and, on very rare occasions, a cup of coffee. I commented on the customerless void and one employee replied that it happened every year. People made resolutions to not drink as much coffee, not take in as many calories, and not spend as much money, resulting in a "slow" time for the store. The four of us discussed it as each one of them prepared one of my three items. (Nice the way that worked out; gave each of them something to do.)

Ada —
Looking for a gift basket or maybe some candy to brighten someone's day? There's a new store in town with those very items for sale. It's called Ada's Just Because and it's located at 312 E. 12th Street, across 12th Street from Apple Market.
The void left by the closing of Holiday Traditions is being filled by Ada's Just Because owner, Diana Ross. Ross said Ada's Just Because is similar to Holiday Traditions. Cayla Tracy, owner of Holiday Traditions, recently retired after 38 years and passed some of her knowledge on to Ross.
"She's been very kind to me," Ross said. "She was showing me how to do it, what she did that worked. So, it's very similar to (Holiday Traditions)... candies, gifts and balloons and I hope to carry plants also."
The store is now open, just in time for Valentine's Day, birthdays or any special occasions for that matter. Ross sells candy by the pound, birthday baskets, Valentine's Day baskets and other holiday baskets.
"It's just a little way to brighten somebody's day," Ross said. "The reason it's called Ada's Just Because is just because you want it or just because you want to make someone's day."
So, if you're looking for a gift for someone you care about, Stop! In the Name of Love and visit Diana Ross' (not of The Supremes) new store, Ada's Just Because.
"I really want Ada to know that I want to be known for a fair price," Ross said. "I'm not ever going to mark everything up."
Another business worth mentioning is Lindsey Erickson's Flagship Boutique located at 112 E. 12th. Erickson makes unique jewelry and other items.
"It's my collection," Erickson said. "So, all the pieces we sell here, I've designed. We hand-make here; we have an assembly studio in the back. We sell jewelry and small leather goods like belts and iPad cases. Erickson has iPad cases for 2012 and 2013.
