Meir Panim delivers warmth, special care to families in need.
"It's not easy being labeled religious these days," a friend confessed to me a few weeks ago.
My friend may be right – so-called religious people have committed some of humanity's most horrific crimes, casting a dark shadow on religion – but what is religion? What is the definition of a "religious person"? What was he referring to? Can religion and evil really co-exist?
Some define religion as a set of beliefs, while others define it as an array of rituals. Some emphasize the truth of ideas, others, the illusion of thoughts.Generally, however, religion is regarded as "the relation of human beings to that which they regard as holy, sacred, spiritual, or divine" (Encyclopedia Britannica, 2006).
Unfortunately, this model of religion may not always be positive. At times, the relationship one may have with the "holy, sacred, spiritual or divine" may even become dangerous. Historically, crimes committed in the name of religion have spewed immeasurable destruction in our world – from the Roman persecution of Christians to the Spanish Inquisition to the Islamic jihad of today.
Moreover, if this is religion, what good does it serve? Why should one desire it? How can a good person subject himself to religious ideals that are shamefully abused by evildoers?
Perhaps the enigma of religion stems from the misguided notion that the purpose of religion is to help us fight the bad in the world – that religion exists to fight racism, bigotry, sexism, etc. Subsequently, people who practice religion devote a large part of their lives to helping others and bringing goodness to their surroundings. These noble aims are very much a part of the fabric of religious thought, but on some level they may miss the point and subvert the very goals they seek to achieve. Because in the very quest to help others, it is possible to neglect the most vital frontier of all: that of the inner self.
In their pursuit to better the world, many fail to better their own selves. In their desire to practice religion, they discount the true meaning of religion. For religion means fighting yourself more than fighting others; improving yourself more than improving others; gaining control over yourself, and your negative inclination, more than gaining control over the world.
My dear mentor Rabbi Adin Steinsaltz once advised me, so poignantly: "Know that the greatest obstacle to me, Adin, is me. The greatest obstacle to you, Pinchas, is you. But once you learn to master yourself, you will not have any problem mastering the entire world."
It is important, even vital, to be conscious of outside threats. In our increasingly open world we must know how to identify and fight, without compromise, the bad that relentlessly attempts to penetrate the sanctity of our circles. We must learn to decipher the various manifestations of evil and conquer them with unwavering vigor.
Being positively involved in the world is of high importance too. "Tikkun olam" projects and other forms of social-aid initiatives are essential to the peace and success of our society. But we ought to remember that positive change begins with the self. Just as light can only come from light, a good world can only come from a good person.
This is also why the term for "religious" in Hebrew is "shomer (mitzvot)" – "guardian (of good deeds)." Because the true meaning of religion is to constantly guard the good within from being contaminated by bad. A "guardian" knows that "the beginning of wisdom is the inner fear of God" (Proverbs 1:7) and a "guardian" knows that his "inner fear of God" must play a crucial role in every aspect of his life. People may label themselves religious, but if their inner fear of God is lacking, they may be, at worst, religiously irreligious.
The legendary chassidic master from the city of Kotzk in Poland, Rabbi Menachem Mendel Morgenstern (1787-1859), once professed to his disciples that "when I was young, I desired to change the world. But I quickly realized this was an impossible feat, so I decided to work on my city alone. This too became unachievable, so I focused solely on my family. But I now finally realize that the only person I can truly change is myself."
About the Author: Rabbi Pinchas Allouche is the spiritual leader of Congregation Beth Tefillah in Scottsdale, AZ. He is a popular educator, lecturer and author of many essays and writings on the Judaism and social analysis.

It was not a necessary part of our busy itinerary. It was not even a noble errand. But the craving for a tasty lunch led our group to experience a moment never to be forgotten.
Our blinding attraction to drama has captivated so many of us. We love to live it, watch it, or even worse, create it.

Let's face it: it's unusual and even somewhat bizarre nowadays to encounter a family with more than two children. It is almost as if a war is launched against the unborn after a "red line" of two or three children has been reached.

WANTED: info on an old quilt
My mother-in-law gave me this old quilt that she said either her grand mother or great grand mother made. She remembers sleeping under it as a child at her grand mother's home. It has all the hand embroidering of a crazy quilt, but the fabrics are very thick tapestry and it was machine sewn together in brick size rectangles. I would include a photo if I knew how. I would love some information on possible dates for this quilt.
could have been upholstery samples as well, looks lovely, hope you can manage to use it yet, or make a wall hanging out of it. Yes, do try the quit forum, and then try HGTV forums, they too have quilt group and are very helpful.
I remember sleeping under such a quilt when I was young, and I am in my 70's, after we got the covers over top of us, we never turned over all nite, were far too heavy, this was long before these light batts were ever available, and quilting made use of whatever was at hand. good luck in your quest!

Iron disc for induction so you can use alum pots?
Our new induction range is in and working (even if our brand new Samsung fridge doesn't cool. At all. But that's a different thread!) I just picked up a set of five-ply stainless pots and pans and I'm fine with getting rid of most of our non-induction-ready cookware.
BUT, what do you all do about the things you can't let go of? Specifically, my aluminum Whirly Pop popcorn popper, and my extra-deep 12 Qt stockpot that I use for huge batches of soup and in particular, for canning. I'm picturing a round flat puck of tri-ply stainless or cast iron that you would use to activate the induction so you can use a few pieces of specialty cookware. I've read threads about special wok hobs; does something like what I'm picturing exist? I don't believe that there is any other option for using my popcorn popper, and we really really miss using it!
You might be able to get a large puck of magnetizable stainless steel and put it in the pot resting on the bottom. The induction would heat it and hence the contents of the pot so long as the pot bottom wasn't too thick. Cast iron might slowly corrode if used for this purpose.
Putting the steel on the cooktop would yield a very hot piece of metal that wouldn't conduct heat into the pot very well. And commonly the temperature that the metal would be allowed to reach before the hob shut itself off would be much lower than a coil burner.
Found this link (see below) for an induction interface disk, at Amazon. Note the relatively poor reviews...
Here is a link that might be useful: Induction Interface Disk, at Amazon
lithigin: "I'm picturing a round flat puck of tri-ply stainless or cast iron that you would use to activate the induction so you can use a few pieces of specialty cookware."
There are several. The high-end is made by Demeyere; the low-end probably is Max Burton, see the link.
Be aware (I am sure that you are) that your pot on a disk on an induction burner will respond and perform like your pot on a coil resistive electric burner, not the way that your induction-capable pots work on your induction range.
Here is a link that might be useful: Max Burton disk
Why not get a little coil burner for your whirly-pop? Fifteen dollars at Amazon. I have one of these which I think was used by a previous generation for coffee at luncheons. They take very little space, and are useful on camping trips when you're stopped on the road (on the way to your destination), trying to get hot food into weary travelers and don't really have the time or energy to make a proper fire.
Costs a lot less than an "induction disk" and you can use it in the family room if you want. :)
I had considered an extra coil burner but figured I'd see what was available for an induction disk first. I kept searching for "induction hob", which returned ranges and cooktops, of course! Induction interface disk is the right phrase....the thought of overheating my new range is rather terrifying, though.
I'll have to check my Oxo teakettle to see if it's compatible, too; I didn't check that yet. Anyway, pillog, I think you might be on to the most logical choice. Then we can make our popcorn downstairs in the finished basement, which would be nice...
Thanks for the replies, everyone!

I'm trying to do use linq in a way to avoid doing a foreach over DataRows in a DataSet:
var results = from dataRow in DataRows
let MoreData = func(dataRow.ID)
join moreDataRow in MoreData on dataRow.ID2 = moreDataRow.ID2
select new
ID1 = dataRow.ID,
ID2 = dataRow.ID2,
ID3 = dataRow2.ID3
I'd like to accomplish something like the above, but linq cannot use the MoreData as part of the join statement. If I'm unable to do that I may result to just doing a foreach on DataRows and going from there.
Is there a linqy way to join on data that won't be available until iterating over an element and then performing a join from the original data to the newly generated data as above?

I stayed here, because I was tired of spending $45-$80 and staying in dumps. Though the hotel was clean and comfortable in general with a clean fridge and microwave, I would not say it was worth the $100 price. The age is beginning to show and I think this is the value of a $75 hotel. Staff was extremely friendly. No problems overall.

Decent but outdated...Posted Nov 10, 2014
Pros: Staff was GREAT!
Cons: Parking lot
Location: Golf was great. BBQ places were tasty.
The rooms were ok. Nothing spectacular. Across the street you can stay at a Marriott Courtyard for the same price. The Marriott is a SUPER nice hotel. Also the parking lot at the Comfort Inn is pretty poor. Low / no lighting, seems vulnerable to unwanted people i.e. you have to park at the back of the motel and it is hidden from the street and the staff (front room). I did not feel comfortable parking my car in such a secluded area.

Good basic roomPosted Oct 27, 2014 on Hotels.com
Staff was super friendly, neighborhood not-so-much, served breakfast buffet until 9:00 am so we didn't have to get up at the crack of dawn to eat! Only issue was that we didn't get maid service even though they saw us leaving the room for the day? Not sure what that was about, but other than that, beds were comfy and great staff at the front desk.

The door would not close without me pushing it! The toilet would not stop running! I did not report this because the staff could not have missed this, they just don't care! The toilet was mounted to close to the wall, so the tank top set out to far and the toilet seat would not stay up, which means everyone has to ____ with the seat down!

Beautiful Hotel, close to pathways.Posted Sep 29, 2014
Pros: Close to pathways and park to be able to walk our dog.
Cons: The beds were not so comfortable.
Location: Not real sure, we were there to visit family.
We were greeted by friendly personnel. The Hotel itself was very clean and accommodative. The one thing I really thought was nice seeing is the mattresses actually being taken out of the rooms either to be changed out of fumigated, not sure which.

Who Won Our Trip to See Rascal Flatts in Tampa?
Congratulations to Rosanna Sablon! She is the winner of our trip to see Rascal Flatts live at Busch Gardens in Tampa, Florida.
Congratulations to Rosanna Sablon! She is the winner of our trip to see Rascal Flatts live at Busch Gardens in Tampa, Florida.
Gary LeVox of Rascal Flatts may be a country superstar, but when it comes to his daughters, he's just like any other doting dad. And as of late, ol' dad has become a little concerned that his girls are growing up too fast ...
Country superstars Rascal Flatts get along, but they don't always agree. There is at least one song on the trio's new 'Rewind' album that didn't initially get a full vote of confidence from lead singer Gary LeVox, but they have a process for working out their differences.
Rascal Flatts aren't comfortable resting over everything they've accomplished to date. During their Off the Record interview with Taste of Country it becomes clear there's still a stone in their shoe that keeps them from getting too comfortable with being listed as an influence to newcomers, not a format leader. That could change after songs from 'Rewind' saturate the marketplace.
During this 'Off the Record' performance of 'Payback,' fans will get a chance to appreciate contributions from the rest of Rascal Flatts' band, specifically the banjo player. The track is a feisty, undeniably catchy country-rocker from 'Rewind.' With this acoustic performance fans see that the banjo man really holds it down.
'The Church on Cumberland Road' is a signature song for Rascal Flatts, so it was an easy choice for their 'Off the Record' cover. The three men explain why this Shenandoah track is so special to them before delivering a brilliant live performance of a highlight from their live shows.
The song 'Rewind' is a good measuring stick for Rascal Flatts' new album of the same name as it truly does -- as Jay DeMarcus said -- tie the old to the new. It's the mean of 13 songs that range from syrupy and organic to razor sharp and vengeful.
Sometimes a band will spend hours, days or even weeks deciding if a song is good enough to make an album. Then there are songs like 'Riot,' a ballad from Rascal Flatts' new 'Rewind' album. The trio talks about the first time they heard the song before performing an intimate, acoustic version of the track.
Jay DeMarcus of Rascal Flatts says 'Rewind' is the song that bridges a gap between what fans know of the superstar trio and where they're headed. This intimate, acoustic performance of the title-track from their new album shows a rarely seen side of the group.
Last week I hypothesized that the truly talented rocker Kat Perkins was in the bottom three for two weeks because of her genre of music. It made sense to me, so I wasn't surprised when Coach Adam had her sing a challenging pop song, and a blockbuster song.
Rascal Flatts have released their new studio album 'Rewind,' featuring the hit song 'Rewind' and 12 other tracks from some of the top country songwriters in Nashville. Win a copy, signed by Gary, Joe Don and Jay, by entering this ToC contest.
When country fans hear Rascal Flatts' gorgeous ballads on hits like 'God Bless the Broken Road' or 'Changed,' it's clear lead singer Gary LeVox has an exceptional voice. But, his second cousin and fellow band member Jay DeMarcus didn't realize the talent he held for quite a while.

Kelly in Estero to promote annual charity golf event
It's been almost three weeks since Super Bowl XLI marked the end of the 2006 NFL season — and the beginning of the charity golf tournament season.
So Hall of Fame quarterback Jim Kelly felt right at home Thursday afternoon, in the middle of tournament week for the Champions Tour's ACE Group Classic, continuing to promote his Drive Fore Hope Celebrity Golf Challenge.
This is the event's fourth year, and it will be played April 13 and 14 at The Quarry off of Immokalee Road in east Naples, its third Southwest Florida location. Kelly, who led the Buffalo Bills to four straight Super Bowl appearances in the early 1990s, is hoping this year's tournament and charity auction will be the biggest yet.
"We're trying to find the right permanent location, but everybody's been so supportive of us down here," Kelly said during a luncheon at The Embassy Suites announcing the field. "I saw Peter Jacobsen last night at dinner, and unfortunately he can't make it this year, but he said people are starting to realize about the tournament down here and the name is finally getting out there."
Kelly started the event in an effort to raise money to fund research efforts to identify new treatments, therapies and a cure for Krabbe Leukodystrophy, the disease that took his son, Hunter's life on Aug. 5, 2005. Kelly and his wife, Jill, started the Hunter's Hope Foundation in 1997 after Hunter was first diagnosed.
Last year, the tournament raised $120,000 after accounting for all expenses associated with it, and Kelly and Suzanne Ostertag, the event's chairperson, said the goal for this year is to raise $150,000.
"The strides we've made are just unbelievable with where we're out with newborn screening, and this tournament makes a lot of money towards that end," Kelly said. "You want to do as much as you can because you know what it's all about, and my wife and I know we can't do it all by ourselves, so we rely on these sponsors and these events and all of the people involved at all ends of the spectrum."
The Kellys used to vacation in Bonita Springs starting seven years ago and Kelly fell in love with the area, calling the Naples/Fort Myers area "the San Diego of Florida."
After holding the event at Heritage Palms in Fort Myers the first two years, the tournament moved to the GreenLinks Golf Resort in East Naples last year. Now it will be the showcase event to mark the opening of the new golf resort The Quarry.
"It was a really hard decision that we struggled with for months, we were a little nervous to move again, but the people at Centex Homes and The Quarry have been wonderful and are doing a lot for us to make the transition really seamless," said Ostertag. "And the guest list is littered with a lot of Jim's friends and former teammates from the Bills among with other football players, NASCAR guys, actors and a nice mix of people overall."
Among the more notable players are ex-Bills Andre Reed, Bruce Smith, Steve Tasker, Kent Hull, Darryl Talley and 2007 Pro Football Hall of Fame inductee Thurman Thomas.
Also, former San Francisco 49ers receiver Dwight Clark, ex-Miami Dolphins Nat Moore, Charlie Babb, Jim Jensen and Earl Morrall will be in attendance, as well as NASCAR driver Mike Skinner, actor Chris McDonald of Happy Gilmore fame and Congressman Connie Mack.
Kelly was in Miami for the Super Bowl and not only was happy to see Indianapolis Colts quarterback Peyton Manning finally win a championship (Kelly wrote him a nice letter congratulating him) along with his former general manager with Buffalo, Bill Polian, but he got to hear Thomas' name called after the Hall of Fame votes were tabulated.
"I was proud in one respect and bummed out in another because he should have been there last year," Kelly said. "If there's anybody who's a first ballot Hall of Famer it's Thurman Thomas, but saying that I'm proud to say he's going to be part of the greatest team he'll ever be a part of and that's the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
"I don't think he understands what it's all about yet, I didn't when I first was picked (in 2002). Until you go there and sit at that luncheon, the Ray Nitschke luncheon. That's where all the Hall of Famers are by themselves, and you look around the room and see Gale Sayers, Merlin Olsen, Deacon Jones, Roger Staubach, Bart Starr, all these great players you idolized growing up, you can't believe you're a part of this group."
Reed did not receive enough votes to get in, and Kelly was disappointed because he feels Reed was the best at running with the ball after the catch in the history of the NFL, but he thinks Reed eventually will get in.
As for the current direction the Bills organization is going, Kelly believes it's positive but they are still a couple players away from making a serious run in the playoffs. He's hoping Buffalo goes after a strong defensive tackle to take the pressure off of the linebackers, and that quarterback J.P. Losman has to shine this year.
And the Bills teams from the 1990s and their place in history Kelly feels is getting more respect with time.
"There's no doubt about it, especially the more I travel and talk to people," he said. "What we did is unbelievable, and if you talk to any NFL player they'll recognize how hard it is to do to get to one Super Bowl."

Speed Queen front loaders?
I've been researching washing machines, and have seen a lot of discussion about SQ top loaders, but little info on their front loaders. Does anyone have one of these, and if so, what has your experience been? ( I currently have an twelve year old Maytag frontloader.)
It seems there are few members of this forum who have the SQ FL. Most of the buzz here is about the SQ TL, which is favored by many for its reliability, simplicity and use of more water than the average FL.
I haven't used a SQ since my laundromat days, which are thankfully over (I hope). Compared to a laundromat my Whirlpool FL set is heaven.
Good luck with your shopping.
I have a 2 year old front loader. My experiences:
I grade it all "A's" in washing performance, durability and speed of washing. Unlike other front loading washers, I have not seen it get unbalanced. Time of washing is under 50 minutes tops - closer to 40, depending on setting. Speed Queens weighs well over 100 lbs more than most other, larger front load washers, so you know there are some industrial, internal components, and very little plastic. You get rotary knobs that are less likely to break and a minimum of panel electronics - (no faulting errors to get). You also get a stainless steel drum.
The cons? The load capacity is a bit smaller than most. However since we can finish loads in about 45 minutes, the quantity washed / time period is about the same as a larger washer. In our case, when one load of clothes is done washing, the previous load is done drying. Also, you get a choice of only basic wash settings, not a gazillion choices. No internal water heater offered. We haven't missed that feature. Less water used than the Speed Queen top loader. I will add there are "how to" videos on the internet of how to increase water levels for both Speed Queen top load and front load washers.
In short, the current Speed Queen is what the old Maytag used to be - almost unbreakable. Hopes this helps.
Speed Queen frontloaders currently do have electronic controls. There is a computer board behind the panel. The rotary dials are the user interface for setting the desired cycle and options into the board. The clue is that the cycle dial is a selector, not a timer that advances to the "off" position at end of the cycle.
Check out automaticwasher.org. Plenty of information there as well. This is a recent thread
Here is a link that might be useful: Speed Queen TL or FL?
Does anyone have the SQ FL installed in a 2nd floor or main floor with basement below? It's one of the few decent sized front load washers that will fit in my smaller/awkward first floor laundry/powder room and I'm a bit worried about reports of vibration.
Have you gone online to check the manuals recommendations for installation on a main floor? I have my Miele situated on our main floor without issue. Some details include: wood joist, total of 1.5" wood subfloor, 3/16" ply underlayment, 1/4" self leveling compound, Strata-Mat decoupling layer (for the tile), then finally, tile. So that is one feature. The other is that I have the set in a corner backed up against a load bearing wall. My floor joist are only 8' long in the room. I have the machine as level as I could make it. My machine does not vibrate, except for a few seconds as it picks up speed, and then its not the floor, but the dryer on top. When I first installed the washer, the tech support told me to run a wet towel through the spin cycle and check how that worked. He said that was the most unbalanced load one could have. I tried it, and my machine was terrific. I bet a SQ would be too :)
Thanks Enduring.
The manual just says to install on a "solid, sturdy and level floor". To me that covers a range from "only on a concrete slab" to "OK in a 2nd floor interior closet in a house built to code". (Well, level is level, but solid and sturdy have varying degrees.)
Not sure what the subfloor is, but there's at least 1/2" plywood screwed down over it and topped with ceramic tile. The units will be side by side backing to a load bearing wall and outside wall on the dryer side, but nothing is level in this house. My 17 year old Kitchenaid has trouble balancing and does vibrate some on the spin, but I can't feel the vibration in the floor when standing beside it.
You'll need to be sure the installers level with the leveling feet very well.
I bet you will have no problems. You are at the best possible location for installation as far as I know, other than the basement slab of course.
Your Kitchenaid probably needs to be leveled (just my guess).

So the new Adidas StellaSport collection was launched a few weeks ago. Though I've not had a chance to check it out in person yet, I wanted to blog about it after a conversation with someone about affordable fitness wear,
When you think of a range of active wear from Stella McCartney and adidas together, your first thought might be that it will be out of your budget. However I've been pleasantly surprised by just how affordable this new range is! I'd seen bits and pieces from the collection from sneak previews on social media, and could tell that the new pieces were going to be beautifully designed, but maybe a bit pricey, but since its launch, I have been proven wrong.
The new range is bold and bright, and should be highly coveted by anyone who's a fan of eye-popping colour for their active wear. That definitely includes me.
It's so great to see Stella and adidas work together to create pieces that could fit into anyone's workout wardrobe and won't break the bank. This range includes good-quality, technical materials, so whatever your workout there should be something for you.
What do you think of the StellaSport collection?

The Flatiron building is one of my favorite sites to see each time I'm in NYC. I love looking at historic pictures of this building seeing the old cars and busses around it. This has to be one of the most visually stimulating attractions in the city.

PHOENIX (AP) — The San Francisco Giants were kicking the ball around so badly Monday night that manager Bruce Bochy wanted to start spring training over again.
Posey's home run caps Giant rally in 9-8 victory
Then the Giants' bats came alive, Arizona's bullpen wilted, and San Francisco rallied from four runs down to beat the Diamondbacks 9-8 on Buster Posey's two-run home run off new closer Addison Reed in the ninth inning.
"I think we want to be a team that keeps grinding and keeps pushing," Posey said. "It was nice to be able to do that tonight right out of the chute to give us that confidence that when we get down we know we have the ability to come back."
Posey's star turn didn't surprise Giants starter Madison Bumgarner, who left after giving up four unearned runs in four innings.
"He's on a different level, man," Bumgarner said. "He's so good and he's been that good since day one. It's fun to watch him play every day."
Posey had no experience against Reed, who came to the Diamondbacks in an offseason trade from the Chicago White Sox.
"I've never faced him before, spring training or anything," Posey said. "I was really just trying to get a pitch I can handle."
He got it on a fastball that he sent over the left field wall.
"For us to come back and win a game like that, it just shows you, you go hard for nine innings ," Bochy said. "These guys did and got some big hits later in the game. It seemed like it got contagious, then Buster came through for us in a big way.
It was the season opener for San Francisco and the first true home game for the Diamondbacks, who started the season with two losses as the home team against the Los Angeles Dodgers in Australia.
Miguel Montero, who had three hits and reached base five times, homered to lead off the Arizona ninth and make it a one-run game.
Brandon Belt had three hits, including a solo home run, and singled ahead of Posey's homer.
Arizona scored four unearned runs off Bumgarner in the fourth and led 7-3 after six. San Francisco got four runs with two outs in the seventh, with reliever Brad Ziegler walking in the tying run.
Jean Machi (1-0) pitched 1 2-3 innings of relief to get the victory. Reed (0-1), acquired from the Chicago White Sox in the offseason, got the loss. Sergio Romo, who gave up the home run to Montero, earned the save.
