December 21, 2012 (which the 21st is my birthday ) cant be the "end of the world"
Personally I think it will be the start of the space age. When the public comes in contact with the mysterious ET.
Something else i have to ask.
I recently moved not to far from where i used to live but it is out in the country more and i can see the night sky a lot better. As I was outside looking up one night, i see an object that looked like a star but was moving. Not moving like a comet but more air plane like, i saw it for about a minute and then it just vanished. What are your thoughts on this

5 Bought two of theseDanielMillers | 28/05/2012 | See all DanielMillers's reviews (2)Bought two of these from play.com them selves at separate times and they are both definitely apple products.The description lies and says they come in a box, which i assumed would be the apple original but they do not, however this is not really an issue as they come in a small enough package to fit through your letter box.They do however come with the plastic left around them as if they were straight from the box so that's good. My first one was a little dented but the second one was perfect maybe from posting. However at the cost of 8.99 currently i just want to buy more and would recommend anyone to buy from here
5 Genuine BargainJamesW85 | 31/01/2012 | See all JamesW85's reviews (1)Can barely believe that this a genuine apple product for the price but seems to be. Well done Play! Works perfectly with my rather fussy iPhone 3GS which has rejected multiple cheap 3rd party chargers that I've tried. Very happy customer
5 Good value!CragEB | 03/02/2012 | See all CragEB's reviews (1)I have no doubts that this is genuine as the title describes. Very pleased with my purchase and great saving for the real deal. Comes in a bag, not a retail box but absolutely no signs of use. Recommended.

Attack of the Giant Leeches
This hysterical drive-in favorite pits a community of swamp-dwelling yokels against the silliest-looking monsters since the shag-rug aliens of The Creeping Terror. Despite the strange sucker-marks found on a dead trapper's blood-drained body, and a man's story of seeing his unfaithful wife and her lover dragged into the swamp by the creatures, the police refuse to acknowledge that something freaky is going on. Only after more trappers disappear does the local game warden decide to take action, which he does with a vengeance. When the leech lair is discovered in a cave beneath the swamp, explosives are employed to blow them to little rubber bits. It's hard to be too critical of this early film from prolific TV-director Bernard L. Kowalski (Night of the Blood Beast), since executive producer Roger Corman allocated a budget for this production that would hardly cover the catering bill on a major studio film -- even in 1960! Look carefully to spot the scuba tanks beneath the leech costumes.~ Cavett Binion, All Movie Guide

PROS: nice image stabilization; large LCD, good in all light conditions; outstanding battery life
CONS: dreadful yellow color cast indoors; useless blue cast in beach setting; longer shutter lag than expected
PROS: I love this camera better than the t-50. It doesn't have the weird touchscreen interface and takes less power, giving the t-30 more battery stength. Who needs a touchscreen. For what? paint. I can't stand taking the time to clean the LCD on the T-50 because you are forced to touch it all the time. The sony T-30 Is A Better buy.

CONS: Expensive, but now the price drop over $100. Could of bought it now.
PROS: Beautiful 3" LCD screen I can see even in bright light. GREAT shots on high sensitivity setting in ambient light. Not "perfect", but quite usable and I'm very happy with them. Beautiful color. This is my third digital camera and easily takes the best pictures, hands down. It's worth every penny.
CONS: Wish I didn't have to take the proprietary battery out and charge it, and wish the screen didn't smudge so easily - small things, really.
PROS: 3" LCD, hardly any shutter lag, great color, great for outdoor shots, steadyshot, good camera modes.

CONS: Severe Red eye almost in all photos taken in evening, or room light, rubbish justification provided by Sony support,
PROS: Great size, weight, large 3" LCD, long battery life, great options for videos including optimal zoom
CONS: no custom white balance, no manual options, pictures come out too warm, poor red-eye reduction, inconsistency with indoor shots, noise in pictures after ISO 400
Rate the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-T30

U.S. Olympic roster prediction: Should Ryan Miller miss out?
Loading ...
U.S. Olympic roster prediction: Should Ryan Miller miss out?
ARLINGTON, Va. — It's fun and harmless to project the U.S. Olympic hockey team. It's also kind of ridiculous.
At this week's orientation meetings, general manager David Poile and the coaching staff stressed — and stressed, and stressed — that the first chunk of the 2013-14 NHL season is just as important as a player's past performance and his suitability for the larger international ice.
"There has to be a body of work that you look at when evaluating players," coach Dan Bylsma said. "There's no trial, there's no on-the-ice time here. There is a body of work from each player here. Having said that, the next three, four months is the key time to establish that. How you're playing for the three, four months will be important."
A few more notes from Bylsma on the construction process:
— Everyone is pitching in:
"A lot of us will have assignments. A lot of us will have players to watch, our hard watches in our area that we see, and that includes the GMs and the coaches."
— Right-handed players don't necessarily have to play on the right side:
"It's more about where your optimal position is than it is left or right, strong side and weak side of the ice. There are some players who are better on their weak side, so putting them on their (shooting) side would not be an optimal position."
— The centers in camp are likely the centers they've got:
"Moving a player from center to wing is probably an easier move than going the opposite way."
— Has he juggled line combinations in his mind?
"Yes I have, and yes I will, and yes I do. We've done the best job we can trying to gather information about these players, from talking to them, talking to other people that either know them, coach them, play with them — any way we can gather that information. So there's some juggling and some adjusting you have based on (that). … We've done a lot of recon."
So, with that said — and ridiculous as it may be — here's a projected roster with a 1-to-10 confidence rating assigned to each pick. The final announcement is expected on Jan. 1.
First: the goalies
Use arrow keys to navigate
of 3
The goalies
You might have heard — the United States has a solid group of goaltenders and difficult decisions to make therein. "Body of work" came up in that discussion over … and over … and over. Example A from Bylsma: "There's a body of work for a lot of those guys, but I think it's going to be their play (that) will determine where the group of goaltenders stacks up."
Jonathan Quick:
10. Quick seems to have the top spot locked down despite a pedestrian follow-up to his unbelievable October-June run in 2011-12. That's partially because he regained his form in the 2013 Stanley Cup playoffs. If he struggles (relatively speaking) this fall, it should open the job — if only a bit. Spectacular as he was during the Kings' Cup season, it was the meat in a pretty average sandwich; in 2010-11, he was 16th among qualified goaltenders in save percentage. In 2013, he was 38th.
Still, it's probably Quick's time. He has 2010 as a learning experience and also, very clearly, the respect of his potential teammates: "I see him a lot 'cause he's in the West, and he's usually shutting us out," defenseman Keith Yandle said.
Ryan Miller:
7. Miller's status was the biggest question of the week. He was the main reason for the silver medal in 2010 (1.35 GAA, .946 save percentage), but hasn't been all that good in NHL competition since. You can attribute that to a lot of things — maybe a concussion, maybe the brutal team playing in front of him, maybe age — but what's certain is that he has to earn his way back on the team. Poile said so. Miller did, too.
"The job I did was three and a half, almost four years ago. You can't stack that in the net behind you and have it deflect pucks away for you. You have to re-focus, reestablish," Miller said.
Craig Anderson:
5. Anderson, 32, was on his way to a Vezina-caliber season with the Ottawa Senators before an injury derailed him, and he still finished with the best save percentage in league, at .941. He shouldn't have to keep that up to make the team. If he does, Quick will have company.
Jimmy Howard. He probably has the most to gain from the next three months. It's easy to see him playing well enough to win a spot, and he might deserve one already.
John Gibson, Cory Schneider. See you in 2018.
of 3
The forwards
Zach Parise:
10. An elite offensive player, a key part of the 2010 team and a mortal lock to make the final roster. He should've just kept his sweater.
Patrick Kane:
10. Ditto.
Bobby Ryan:
10. It's easy to forget that Ryan is a three-time 30-goal scorer and still just 26. He'll be a top-six winger after holding a less important role in Vancouver.
Phil Kessel:
10. Kessel has only gotten better over the past few years. Consider last season: He didn't score a goal until the 11th game and still finished with 20. His 52 points were eighth in the league.
Joe Pavelski:
10. Pavelski does everything with the Sharks; he can play center or wing and kill penalties. Given how thin the U.S. is down the middle, that's important. He also played on the international ice surface during the lockout.
Dustin Brown:
10. He's similar to Pavelski, with less positional versatility and a better ability to draw penalties. He's also an important part of the leadership committee and could wind up as the captain.
David Backes:
10. A big, physical, elite defensive center and, like Brown, a go-to source for leadership, if that's your thing.
Derek Stepan:
9. He took a major step forward last season with the Rangers and has the skill to center a top-two line. He also has the defensive ability to play on the bottom six.
Paul Stastny:
9. Stastny is an important part of USA Hockey and captained the 2013 World Championship team. He's also, hands down, one of the best centers on the roster.
Ryan Kesler:
8. Injuries have to be at least something of a concern, but a healthy Kesler (or something close to it) would be huge for the U.S.
Max Pacioretty:
7. Pacioretty followed a 33-goal season with 39 points in 44 games for the Canadiens. No American forward scored more points per 60 minutes of even-strength play last season than his 2.86. He also possessed the puck at an elite rate, though he did start more than 63 percent of his shifts in the offensive zone.
Ryan Callahan:
6. Callahan is good defensively and on the penalty kill.
Alex Galchenyuk:
5. Still just 19, his offensive ability makes him an X-factor. Given the importance he'll have to Team USA moving forward (and potential game-breaking ability), he'd be a perfect extra forward, assuming he doesn't regress for the Canadiens at the start of their season.
T.J. Oshie, Brandon Saad, James van Riemsdyk, Blake Wheeler. Wingers, all.
Justin Abdelkader, Beau Bennett, Nick Bjugstad, Trevor Lewis, Kyle Okposo, Kyle Palmieri, Craig Smith.
of 3
The defensemen
Ryan Suter:
10. Suter is the No. 1 defenseman in a very solid group. He'll get more ice time than any other skater and could well captain the team.
Jack Johnson:
10. Johnson's issues in his own end have been beaten to death, but he's a USA Hockey favorite and guaranteed to make the cut. He's also another candidate to wear (at least) an "A," and generally seems to play better in red, white and blue than, uh, red, white and blue.
Ryan McDonagh:
9. McDonagh's still just 23 and solid across the board. He had 19 points and played well in difficult minutes for the Rangers.
Paul Martin:
9. In some ways an older version of McDonagh, Martin bounced back after a rough first year with the Penguins and performed well against difficult competition. He also put up 23 points at a better rate per 60 minutes of play than any full-time defenseman with at least 30 games — except teammate Kris Letang.
Kevin Shattenkirk:
8. Don't let the fact that he's 5-11 fool you; Shattenkirk is a two-way stud capable of playing against top competition and on both special-team units. His skating ability also makes him perfect for the international surface.
Keith Yandle:
8. Yandle has decent size, terrific skating ability and drives possession at even strength. He doesn't play against the toughest competition, but would be perfect on a third pairing. Last season, he generated more points per 60 minutes of play than all but two full-time defensemen with at least 30 games played.
Brooks Orpik:
5. Bylsma talked up the importance of chemistry between potential linemates and pairings, and the first example he brought up was Orpik and Martin. Orpik's not the guy he was a few years ago, but he's still a solid skater and penalty-killer. He could play with Martin, if need be, and contribute shorthanded.
Dustin Byfuglien:
5. When Bylsma talked about the roster breakdown, he left wiggle room for versatile players. He might as well have coughed "Byfuglien" under his breath. The choice is whether to swap out his size, positional versatility and power-play cannon for another elite skater — which Byfuglien certainly is not.
Justin Faulk, Jake Gardiner, Cam Fowler. These are those elite skaters. Also, John Carlson could easily make it over Byfuglien or Orpik, and Zach Bogosian will get some consideration.
Dan DeKeyser, Erik Johnson, Seth Jones, Nick Leddy, Jacob Trouba.

Israel News - Stay Informed, Pray Informed
We are literally watching the Bible unfold before our eyes with the ongoing ingathering of the Exiles to Israel. Jews are returning from the 4 corners of the earth where they blessed the communities where they were living despite centuries of persecution.
Because of the cultural and ethnic differences that new immigrants bring with them when they immigrate, it is more challenging for many of them to adjust to the mix of Western and Middle Eastern life in Israel.
New immigrants often have a difficult time adjusting to life in Israel, finding meaningful employment, provide for their families and fully integrate into Israeli society.
With a gift of love of only $15 you could help Israel Today make them feel welcome, loved and at home in the Land of Israel!
A special Passover surprise was arranged for Ethiopian girls who are new to Israel, living in the immigration center ,"Tapuz" in Nahariya.
A few days before the holiday of Passover, Israel Today distributed a truck full of food that was donated by our loyal readers. Thanks to your support, immigrant families will have what they need this Passover.

All-MCAA baseball team released
By The Hays Daily News
Five Thomas More Prep-Marian players were named to the Mid-Central Activities Association all-league baseball team and another earned honorable mention.
TMP senior Shane Zimmerman, junior Cameron Brin, junior Jordan Gottschalk, sophomore Ryan Schippers and sophomore Braiden Werth made the all-MCAA team while sophomore Kameron Schmidt earned honorable mention.
Zimmerman and Brin made it on the squad as pitchers.
Zimmerman (4-4) posted a miniscule 1.54 earned-run average and 1.16 walks-hits per innings pitched. He also struck out 60 batters -- 8.4 strikeouts per seven innings -- and walked just 3.4 batters per seven innings. Offensively, Zimmerman hit .278, tied for the team lead with 22 runs scored and stole a team-high 20 bases.
Brin (5-1) finished with a 3.20 ERA and 1.71 WHIP, and he struggled offensively, hitting .161, but stole 10 bags, tying for second best on the team.
Gottschalk made the squad as a catcher. He hit .342 and led the squad with seven doubles and 17 RBIs.
Schippers qualified as a first baseman, and Werth was named to the team at third base.
Schippers hit .386 with 17 RBIs, and Werth had a monster season, batting .400 with a .514 slugging percentage.
Werth also led the squad with 28 hits, 24 RBIs and 22 runs scored.
Schmidt hit .239, stole 10 bases and finished with a 3-1 record on the mound, 3.50 ERA, 1.44 WHIP and 35 strikeouts (7.7 per seven innings).

Stephen "Doc" Combs of Bricks in my Pocket fame pieced together this fully functional LEGO rotating dock for an iPod/iPod touch. Besides watching video in landscape mode it's perfect for use with an alarm clock app.
As I began to create this little contraption I said to myself, "How could this be a bit cooler and more functional?" The answer was to make it a rotating dock so I could watch movies and apps in landscape mode.

Update everything from furniture and walls to floors and doors with a fresh coat of paint, in an unexpected color or pattern.
Patio Pavers
To brighten up a plain concrete patio stone ($1.61; 12" square; lowes.com), first brush away any debris. Then, mark the centers of the stone and your stencil (Modern Masters Endless Circles stencil, $31.95; royaldesignstudio.com). Position the stencil over the stone, aligning the center marks. Use masking tape to block off two flowers on both the right and bottom edges of the stencil to make the pattern symmetrical. While holding the stencil in place, dip a ½-inch-wide stencil brush into Annie Sloan Chalk Paint and pounce the brush straight up and down to apply the paint (brush, $5.75; paint, Greek Blue, $11.95 for 4 oz.; royaldesignstudio.com). When you're done, remove the stencil. That's itno sealer necessary! Repeat on additional stones to extend your path.
Ombré Chest of Drawers
In their book, Young House Love ($25.95; Artisan), bloggers John and Sherry Petersik make brilliant use of pint-size paint samples. One of our favorite projects is this mind-blowing bureau before-and-after. To try the Petersiks' trick on your own dresser, start by sanding the piece, if necessary, and removing any hardware. Remove the drawers, then prime everything, allowing an hour of drying time. Paint the body and bottom drawer one color, then paint each remaining drawer a different shade, going from dark to light to create an ombré effect. (If you like, paint the hardware to match each drawer.) Let the whole shebang dry for one hour, and repeat with a second coat. Allow 24 more hours of drying time, then reassemble the chest and fill 'er up.
The colors used here are White Wisp, Gray Owl, Sea Haze, Desert Twilight, Durango, and Char Brown. All paint by Benjamin Moore. You'll need 6 pint-size samples semigloss paint and 1 quart primer.
Mobile Bar with Built-in Menu Board
Paint a secondhand bar cart in vibrant turquoise—then take it to an even more fun place via chalkboard paint on the top shelf. (The addition of a tray below provides extra space for stashing party gear.) Young House Love bloggers John and Sherry Petersik began this project by lightly sanding their find and taping off its casters. Next, they applied a coat of primer to the entire cart—then two coats of semigloss everywhere but the top shelf—allowing an hour of drying time between coats. After letting the last coat dry overnight, the Petersiks taped off the framework around the top shelf and applied two coats of chalkboard paint to that surface, again allowing one hour between coats and a full day after the final one. The finishing touch: jotting a festive message in chalk.
For this project you'll need 1 pint-size sample of semigloss paint, 1 quart primer, and 1 quart chalkboard paint. The colors used here are Chalkboard and Dragonfly by Benjamin Moore.
Stenciled Sisal Runner
Who knew you could upgrade a rug with regular interior paint? The bloggers at Young House Love admit that foot traffic will fade the color, but say they prefer the resulting patina on their Ikea runner ($49.99; 2'7"W x 8'2"L; ikea.com for stores). Want to get the look? You'll need a peacock-feather stencil (etsy.com
/shop/royaldesignstencils), a stencil brush, and satin-finish paint. Follow the picture at left to replicate the motif in alternating rows. And allow 48 hours of drying time before walking tall on your superior sisal. You'll need 1 pint-size sample of satin-finish paint in Vintage Vogue, by Benjamin Moore.

They say you can't do everything, and they're right, whoever they are, but that doesn't mean we have to like it. Two very promising conferences relevant to automotive electronics – telematics and sensors – are scheduled for the same days, June 6-7, about 300 miles apart.
In Novi, Michigan, the 12th Telematics Detroit conference and exhibition, sponsored by Telematics Update, is expected to attract more than 1,800 attendees to hear more than 100 speakers from Ford, BMW, Delphi, Liberty Mutual, Facebook, and myriad other telematics industry participants.
Tracks will include the integration of automotive and consumer electronics technology, next-generation infotainment and location-based services (LBS), insurance and fleet telematics, vehicle-to-vehicle and vehicle-to-infrastructure communications (V2X), HTML5 and application interoperability, and 3G and LTE connectivity.
Other topics include: how automakers can leverage next-generation telematics services to attract customers, and how the connected vehicle ecosystem is changing and what affects it will have on corporate relationships.
The Telematics Detroit venue is the Suburban Collection Showplace (formerly known as the Rock Financial Showplace) in Novi.
Sensors Expo
There will be more than 60 sessions in nine tracks at the Sensors Expo & Conference 2012 in the Donald E. Stephens convention center in Rosemont Illinois. Topics include Applied Sensing, Energy Harvesting, Measurement & Detection, Mobile Sensing, RFID/M2M, Sensor & System Design, Wireless Sensing, Big Data & Analytics, and MEMS (micro-electromechanical systems).
The MEMS Industry Group (MIG) will sponsor a pre-conference symposium on June 5 with speakers from Analog Devices, Dell, Freescale Semiconductor, Intel, STMicroelectronics, and the market research firm Yole Développement. There will also be a MEMS conference track with topics including sensor fusion, inertial sensors, multi-sensor systems, and miniaturization.
Have you been to either or both events in past years? Are you planning to attend one or the other this year? What other conferences do you find most useful?

Inspired by these attributes, this goalkeeper jersey was designed in the same way as the field player jersey of the same name, which sticks out due to its unique look. This effect is due to a high-quality, asymmetric design element, which runs from the left shoulder to the end of the right sleeve. The design element is emphasised by a contrasting flatlock seam. The elbow sections are extensively padded, and provide additional protection to the lower arm. The uhlsport logo on the chest is high-quality embroidery. The round neck collar is made of ribbed material. Learn More

This is especially typical among latter adolescent males and young male adults. It specifically has to do with an underdeveloped section of the brain (in teenagers) that can remain stunted unless challenged with ethical determinations so as to develop a more perceiving conscious. Please note the age group of first time offender criminals.
This has been physiologically proven under medical laboratory conditions within only the last two decades of studies by the visual and electronic surveillance of certain brain patterns in tissue development and electrical impulse observations.
This explains why you insist on making your 'playing field' in your favor ( cordoned territory - aggressive, youthful male trait) and insert your latter acrid remark so as to twist your perception as correct, a vain-glorious justification. and a blatant arrogance.....another potent character defect in relativist seduced mentalities: Narcissism, as indicated by the expression of arrogance and "put downs" that are reveled in. Thank you for your input mael.

Event Name
- OR - Select an option belowhttp://www.jazziz.com/jazziznightlife/ Jazziz Nightlife earns high marks for ambiance and solid bookings, but when it comes to service, this high-end venue falls short. A large, open dining room and bar area overlook a grand stage where national acts in contemporary and older-school jazz come to provide a night of mellow entertainment for dining and drinking guests. However, even with a reservation, it can be tough finding a seat in the house worth your while. Whether it's too loud in the general dining area (probably due to lack of soundproofing) or too hot outside, management seems to have a hard time accommodating guests. An older but lively crowd usually shows up for the music, but unless you're a die-hard fan with a reservation, be wary – and don't be surprised if you end up moving your party to a spot with better service for the price and for music that doesn't kill the conversation.

I also pulled out my Oakshott Rubies Modern Maples from last fall. I ran out of the Essex Linen I was using for the back ground and had a hard time finding more. I finally sent a small swatch to Brenda at Pink Castle Fabrics and she matched it for me! Hallelujah!
Those Oakshott Rubies fabrics are so gorgeous. They're kind of hard to find in the US, but if you see them, you'll see what I mean. I also added a couple of gold leaves out of a Kaffe cotton because we have a lot of gold leaves during the fall season here in Utah. It feels good finishing an old WIP (work-in-progress). I'm going to keep it around as is for another week or so and then send it off to the quilters. Next fall it will finally be finished!
And finally, I even got caught up on my BeesKnees blocks! This one is for Sinta. The tutorial for this block/quilt is called Starry Eyed and can be found at the Moda Bake Shop. It's still one of my favorites.
These improv trees are for Melissa. Aren't they fun? This is her own design. She has an Improv Tree tutorial on her blog.
Whew! Feels good to be crossing stuff of the list. Just in time to start creating a whole new list before Christmas.

Japan: The Miracle Years, Spanish Version

Japan experienced rapid growth in the 1950s and 1960s while following a set of policies that differ from current policies in fashion. Although some observers believe that Japanese growth occurred in spite of the policies rather than because of them, several countries have looked to Japan's approach during this period as a way to accelerate their own growth. This case provides data on performance and describes the important institutions, policies, and control tools that were used in Japan. A rewritten version of two earlier cases.
learning objective:
Students are asked to understand how the Japanese model worked and to explore the ways that the model supported the generation of resources (investment), improvements in technology and management (performance of firms), and reallocation of resources from less productive uses to more productive uses. Students are asked whether they believe the policies led to the growth and, if so, whether they think other countries can copy parts of the Japanese model. This encourages a discussion of the importance of domestic and international context in which Japan operated at the time. Also sets the stage for later analysis of the problems of modern-day Japan, with a focus on the difficulties facing a country when it has to shift from a successful strategy that is no longer useful.
subjects covered:
Balance of payments; Country analysis; Exports; Imports; Inflation

Mitch Mitchell, drummer for the Jimi Hendrix Experience, has died, apparently of natural causes at the age of 61
MM was an outstanding drummer. In addition to seeing him play as part of the JHE in 1967, I also saw him sit in various times with the Jefferson Airplane at the Fillmore East. There were strong connections between the JA and the JHE. Jack Casady frequently played with JH (see e.g. "Voodoo Chile on Electric Ladyland", and a cut on "JH live at Winterland") and MM relates in his book on his years with JH that JH asked Jack to replace Noel Redding in the JHE but that Jack was loyal to the JA. Anyway, MM would come sit in with the JA.
The late show at the Fillmore began at 11:30 and usually had two bands before the JA, so the JA typically would come on stage around 0200 and MM would join in around 0400 with the set typically finishing around 0530 (which was cutting it close for me sneaking back into the house before my folks awoke). This was not a problem when the JA drummer was Spencer Dryden, but Spencer's replacement Joey Covington apparently felt insecure-- one time a separate drum set was put out on stage for MM to play even as JC continued to play. Eventually JC backed off and insincerely introduced "Our friend Mitch Mitchell" to the crowd.
The rapport between Mitch, Jack on bass and Jorma on guitar (Paul Kantner doing fine on rythhm guitar too) was extraordinary.
Scary to see someone 5 years older than me dying of "natural causes"!

UPDATE: Mumbai-Based Rabbi and Wife Killed in Terrorist Attacks

I have spent a lot of time in Chabad and they have been very helpful to me in my path. I don't agree with them on all the issues but Chabad is always very willing to be with you where you at and they always seem to base all their actions on love.
Rabbi Gavriel, left, and Rivkah Holtzberg were killed in one of the worst terrorist attacks in Indian history. Here, they're seen attending to the wedding of a local Jewish couple.
By Joshua Runyan and Motti Seligson
Nov 28, 2008 11:00 AM
Rabbi Gavriel and Rivka Holtzberg, the beloved directors of Chabad-Lubavitch of Mumbai, were killed during one of the worst terrorist attacks to strike India in recent memory.
Jewish communities around the world reacted with shock to the loss of the couple, who were killed Thursday at their Chabad House during an apparent standoff between Indian military forces and terrorists.
Their toddler son, Moshe, managed to escape with his nanny some hours before Indian commandos stormed their building, known as the Nariman House, in the popular touristy neighborhood of Colaba. The Associated Press reported that the boy was unharmed, but was wearing blood-soaked pants.
"Gabi and Rivky Holtzberg made the ultimate sacrifice," said Rabbi Moshe Kotlarsky, vice chairman of Merkos L'Inyonei Chinuch, the educational arm of Chabad-Lubavitch. "As emissaries to Mumbai, Gabi and Rivky gave up the comforts of the West in order to spread Jewish pride in a corner of the world that was a frequent stop for throngs of Israeli tourists. Their Chabad House was popular among the local community, as well as with visiting businesspeople.
"For five years, they ran a synagogue and Torah classes, and helped people dealing with drug addiction and poverty," continued the statement. "Their selfless love will live on with all the people they touched. We will continue the work they started."
The Holtzbergs arrived in Mumbai in 2003 to serve the small local Jewish community, visiting businesspeople and the throngs of tourists, many of them Israeli, who annually travel to the seaside city.
Gavriel Holtzberg, 29, was born in Israel and moved to the Crown Heights section of Brooklyn, N.Y., with his parents, when he was nine. A prodigious student, Holtzberg was a two-time champion in a competition of memorizing the Mishnah, a compendium of rabbinical laws and enactments redacted in the second century C.E.
He studied at yeshivas in New York and Argentina, and as a rabbinical student served communities in Thailand and China under the Summer Rabbinical Visitation Program run by Merkos L'Inyonei Chinuch, the educational arm of Chabad-Lubavitch.
His 28-year-old wife, born Rivka Rosenberg, is a native of Afula, Israel. Chayki Rosenberg described her sister as dedicated to helping Jews.
She "gives lots of classes for women at the Chabad House," Rosenberg told The Jerusalem Post.
Friends described her as always having a positive outlook and a kind word for everyone.
Two years ago, the Holtzbergs raised funds to purchase the current location of the Chabad House, a five-story building in Mumbai's Colaba market area known as Narimon House. A trained ritual circumciser and slaughterer, the rabbi also conducted weddings for local Jewish couples in addition to teaching Torah classes and visiting with tourists.
His last known phone call was to the Israeli Consulate to report that gunmen were in his house. In the middle of the conversation, the line went dead.
The Holtzbergs joined the more than 125 people who were killed in the Wednesday night through Friday attacks, which saw dozens of suspected Islamic terrorists come ashore in Mumbai near the Gateway of India monument. The terrorists, carrying assault rifles and grenades, quickly fanned out to a central train station, the Chabad House and other tourist locations, including several popular hotels.
According to security services, the Chabad House was a pre-selected target.
Rivkah Holtzberg cuts the ribbon at the grand opening of a Jewish ritual bath in Mumbai.
A team of 15 Chabad-Lubavitch representatives in California, New York, Washington, Israel, India and Bangkok worked the phones throughout the crisis, spending long, sleepless nights awaiting any morsel of information and working to confirm at-times conflicting reports from the field. Hundreds of thousands of Jews around the world prayed for the Holtzbergs, saying Psalms in their merit.
The local police in Mumbai and the highest reaches of the Indian government got involved, but military assault teams first concentrated their efforts on the Taj Mahal and Oberoi hotels, where hundreds of foreign tourists were either holed up or being held hostage. When they finally entered the Chabad House on Friday, they found that the worst had occured.
Rivky Holtzberg's parents, Rabbi Shimon and Yehudit Rosenberg arrived in Mumbai early Friday morning to bring their now-orphaned grandson home to family.

Thank you for that Rachel.
If you have a free moment to continue fleshing out my meager Jewish education on a suitable thread (perhaps The Power of Word) with regard to Chabad, I would be grateful for it.

This is not the 2 year old son who was saved by his nanny in India He thankfully does not have the same genetic disease that killed his two older brothers.
The four-year-old son of Gavriel and Rivak Holtzberg, who were killed in the terror attack on the Chabad house in Mumbai, has died of a severe genetic disease overnight.
Dov-Ba'ar Holtzberg's funeral will be held at 10 am in Jerusalem.

This is the story of a particular police officer, William Vize. There is a subtext of the article that deals with the difficulty of policing, and the impact on the officers' lives. A story worth reading, in my opinion.

Frank Buckles, Last World War I Doughboy, Is Dead at 110
By RICHARD GOLDSTEIN
Published: February 28, 2011
Frank Buckles, who drove an Army ambulance in France in 1918 and came to symbolize a generation of embattled young Americans as the last of the World War I doughboys, died Sunday at his home in Charles Town, W. Va. He was 110.
His death was announced by a family spokesman, David DeJonge, The Associated Press said.
He was only a corporal and he never got closer than 30 or so miles from the Western Front trenches, but Mr. Buckles became something of a national treasure as the last living link to the two million men who served in the American Expeditionary Forces in France in the war to end all wars.
Frail, stooped and hard of hearing, but sharp of mind, Mr. Buckles was named grand marshal of the National Memorial Day Parade in Washington in 2007. He was a guest at Arlington National Cemetery on Veterans Day 2007 for a wreath-laying ceremony at the Tomb of the Unknowns. He was honored by Defense Secretary Robert Gates at the Pentagon and met with President George W. Bush at the White House in March 2008.
United States Senators played host to him at the Capitol in June 2008 for the impending 90th anniversary of the World War I armistice. And he appeared before a Senate subcommittee in December 2009 to support legislation named in his honor to bestow federal status on a World War I memorial on the National Mall built in the 1930s.
Sought out for interviews in his final years, Mr. Buckles told of having witnessed a ceremony involving British veterans of the Crimean War, fought in the 1850s, when he was stationed in England before heading to France. He remembered chatting with General John J. Pershing, the commander of American troops in World War I, at an event in Oklahoma City soon after the wars end.
And he proudly held a sepia-toned photograph of himself in his doughboy uniform when he was interviewed by USA Today in 2007. I was a snappy soldier, he said. All gung-ho.
Frank Woodruff Buckles was born Feb. 1, 1901, on a farm near Bethany, Mo. He was living in Oakwood, Okla., when America entered World War I and he tried to enlist in the Marine Corps at age 16, having been inspired by recruiting posters.
The Marines turned him down as underage and under the required weight. The Navy didnt want him either, saying he had flat feet. But the Army took him in August 1917 when he lied about his age, and he volunteered to be an ambulance driver, hearing that was the quickest path to service in France.
He sailed for England in December 1917 on the Carpathia, the ship that helped save survivors of the Titanics sinking in 1912. He later served in various locations in France, including Bordeaux, and drove military autos and ambulances. He was touched by the wars impact on the French people.
The little French children were hungry, Mr. Buckles recalled in a 2001 interview for the Veterans History Project of the Library of Congress. Wed feed the children. To me, that was a pretty sad sight.
Mr. Buckles escorted German prisoners of war back to their homeland after the armistice, then returned to America and later worked in the Toronto office of the White Star shipping line.
He traveled widely over the years, working for steamship companies, and he was on business in Manila when the Japanese occupied it following the attack on Pearl Harbor in December 1941. He was imprisoned by the Japanese, losing more than 50 pounds, before being liberated by an American airborne unit in February 1945.
After retiring from steamship work in the mid-1950s, Mr. Buckles ran a cattle farm in Charles Town, and he was still riding a tractor there at age 104.
In April 2007, Mr. Buckles was identified by the United States Department of Veterans Affairs as one of the four known survivors among the more than 4.7 million Americans who had served in the armed forces of the Allied nations between April 6, 1917, when the United States entered World War I, and the Armistice of Nov. 11, 1918.
Two of the four J. Russell Coffey and Harry Landis had served stateside in the American Army. Mr. Coffey died in December 2007 at 109 and Mr. Landis died in February 2008 at 108. John Babcock, who was Canadian born, served in Canadas army in Britain in World War I and held dual American and Canadian citizenship, died in Spokane, Wash., in February 2010 at 109.
The last known veterans of the French and German armies in World War I, Lazare Ponticelli and Erich Kästner, died a few months apart in 2008; Harry Patch, the last British soldier, died in 2009. A former nurse and a former sailor, both English, are thought to be the only two people still living who served in any capacity in the war.
Mr. Buckles is survived by his daughter, Susannah Flanagan. His wife, Audrey, died in 1999.
More than eight decades after World War I ended, Mr. Buckles retained images of his French comrades. And he thought back to the fate that awaited them.
What I have a vivid memory of is the French soldiers being in a small village and going in to a local wine shop in the evening, he told a Library of Congress interviewer. They had very, very little money. But they were having wine and singing the Marseillaise with enthusiasm. And I inquired, What is the occasion? They were going back to the front. Can you imagine that?

One of a many who interrupted their young adult lives to go defeat Adolf Hitler and Nazism, he served under General Patton behind front lines in a medical crew- in England, France and Germany including the liberation of the Buchenwald Concentration Camp. I didn't know until now, looking for dates and info in his documents, that his unit received a long list of awards and medals.
Joining his own father in dental practice, he served generations of patients for 63 years and taught in the University Dental School for a quarter century. He skied in the mountains and played golf and tennis with us through age 88.

Sorry about your father Doug.
We only have one; and when he leaves a part of his child(ren) goes with him and a part of him stays with his child(ren).
The world lost another hero.
Thanks for sharing.

Occasionally some of his remarks were over the top but 95% of the time he got it right from my point of view. He loved America. I saw him give a talk once. Must have been around 1989 at some synagogue in North Jersey somewhere.
He was Italian. He was always a friend of Israel.
OF course his controversial remarks will be the headlines and anything rational logical and pro American will be ignored by the MSM. He was far more objective than any of those on the far left. For example he recently (about a year ago) praised Cuomo for doing a good job in NY. How is that for crossing party lines? Has anyone from the NYT or MSNBC EVER given a good word for a Republican?

On the occasion of Mahatma Gandhi's 70th birthday. "Generations to come, it may well be, will scarce believe that such a man as this one ever in flesh and blood walked upon this Earth.
― Albert Einstein
Gandhi was murdered by Hindu extremists.
Gandhi - one of the greatest human beings to have walked the Earth.
(I will add we do not see anything like it today in American leaders.)

She was active in Republican politics and liked military men. I didn't know she was only 85. She was history as long as I can remember. She started so young:
