About Johann Hans Klimesch
see Picture of their family car: 1930-1 Essex Super Six made in USA
Johann Klimesch was associated with the "Heeg & Friedmann" factory in Šternberk, Moravia factory since 1912, becoming its Manager and after his wife Anne's death, the owner. He would purchase the latest machines from Switzerland, as well as invent new ways to automate. Their son Arthur, hoping one day to follow in his father's footsteps, was in a Textile school since 1943, at the age of 14. Because their father was active against the Nazi regime and never a member of the National Socialist German Workers' Party (NSDAP), he was not deported to Germany with 50 kg of belongings, as almost everyone else in 1945-46 Šternberk.
A guard named Mr. Jordan was placed at the Factory and when the Russians arrived in May 1945, he told the Russians who in the factory belonged to the German party. On May 30th Johann Klimesch was arrested, because he was the owner of the Factory at the time, but released after investigation and interrogation. However, in 1948 while his children Adele, Arthur and Rudolf were at home, Johann was arrested again. Johann, along with many others including the Gröger family, was forced to go on a "Journey by foot to Russia". Somewhere on the road by Šumperk he Fell Down, "Pretending to have a Heart Attack". After several Death Threats and Attempts by the Soldiers to get him up failed, they left him behind in the ditch. It was at this time that Mr. Leopold Knappek, who was also in the march and knew Johann from business, took the opportunity to empty Johanns pockets and take what Money he had with him. Three days later Johann made it back to Šternberk and his children by foot, however he was immediately Imprisoned by the Russians. Extensive interrogation followed, but he was found Innocent again of any collaboration and released.
After the "Communist Take-Over" in February 1948, Johann realized, that there is no future for him and his family in Czechoslovakia. He obtained an affidavit from a Morawetz relative in Canada and left for Montreal in December 1948 with sons Arthur (age 19) and Rudolf (age 16). This was only allowed, after the Communists had Johann sign a document – Forcing him to give up his Czechoslovakian citizenship and his Šternberk properties. Only their daughter Heidi Adele (age 21) chose to stay in Šternberk, a decision which must have been very difficult for all of them. She remained, as a result of meeting captain Miroslav Rohel in 1947 - however, "they did not know" - the country would become and remain Communist under Russia's control and closed borders.
As to what became of "Heeg & Friedmann (Klimesch)" factory since being stolen in 1946; it took until 1948, before an "Official Confiscation document" was issued. By then, "Vigona (now Fibertex)" of Svitavy either owned the Factory or had some deal with Šternberk as to the Factory management. It's possible they were unable to utilize the factory for 2 years, but it's more likely, that it was a communist "scam to steal the land" from the beginning, since the Factory was "demolished" in 1950's? The regime wanted to make sure there were "No Structures for possible Future Claims", as the country was now becoming "officially Communist". Heidi did not wish to see the Demolition (pictures) as it hurt too much, but she did see the Chimney Fall down from a distance.

Financial Audit:
IRS's Fiscal Years 2009 and 2008 Financial Statements
GAO-10-176: Published: Nov 10, 2009. Publicly Released: Nov 10, 2009.
Additional Materials:

Because of the significance of Internal Revenue Service (IRS) collections to overall federal receipts and, in turn, to the consolidated financial statements of the U.S. government, which Government Accountability Office (GAO) is required to audit, and Congress's interest in financial management at IRS, GAO audits IRS's financial statements annually to determine whether (1) the financial statements are fairly stated, and (2) IRS management maintained effective internal control over financial reporting. GAO also tests IRS's compliance with selected provisions of significant laws and regulations and its financial systems' compliance with the Federal Financial Management Improvement Act of 1996 (FFMIA).
GAO's opinion, IRS's fiscal years 2009 and 2008 financial statements are fairly presented in all material respects. However, serious internal control and financial management systems deficiencies continued to make it necessary for IRS to use resource-intensive compensating processes to prepare its balance sheet. Because of these and other deficiencies, IRS did not, in GAO's opinion, maintain effective internal control over financial reporting as of September 30, 2009, and thus did not provide reasonable assurance that losses and misstatements material to the financial statements would be prevented, or detected and corrected timely. During fiscal year 2009, IRS continued to make significant strides in addressing its internal control deficiencies. Specifically, IRS sufficiently addressed several issues constituting its material weakness over financial reporting and its significant deficiency over tax revenue collection and refund issuance such that we do not consider the remaining unresolved issues in those areas to constitute reportable deficiencies in internal control. However, continued management commitment and sustained efforts are necessary to build on the progress made to date and to fully address IRS's remaining internal control, compliance, and system deficiencies. These remaining deficiencies pertain to IRS's (1) material weaknesses in internal control over unpaid tax assessments and over information security, (2) noncompliance with the law concerning the timely release of tax liens, and (3) financial management systems' nonconformance with FFMIA requirements. The serious challenges IRS faces as a result of these remaining deficiencies adversely affect IRS's ability to (1) produce reliable financial statements without significant compensating procedures and (2) obtain current, complete, and accurate information it needs to make well-informed decisions. As IRS continues to progress toward increasingly automated financial management processes, the continued material weakness in internal control over information security that jeopardizes the reliability of the financial information IRS processes could have serious implications for our future ability to determine whether IRS's financial statements are fairly stated. This weakness also continues to significantly increase the risk that sensitive taxpayer information may be compromised. During fiscal year 2009, IRS also continued to face significant financial management challenges in developing and instutionalizing the use of financial management information to assist it in making operational decisions and measuring the effectiveness of its programs. IRS has not fully integrated the use of cost- and revenue-based performance information into its routine management and decision-making processes or in its externally reported performance metrics.

This has been my mainstay breakfast for more than twenty years. I never get sick of it and no two bowls are ever quite the same, depending on which fruits are in season and the milk substitute I have on hand.
This was also a favorite recipe for most of the E2 Pilot Study participants. As a seven-year old daughter of one of the E2 participants said, "I look forward to waking up in the morning just so I can have my Rip's Bowl."
Let your appetite be your guide as to the size of your bowl.
1/4 cup raw old-fashioned oats
1/4 cup Grape Nuts or Ezekiel brand equivalent
1/4 cup bite-size shredded wheat
1/4 cup Uncle Sam cereal
1 tablespoon ground flaxseed meal
2 tablespoons raisins
2 tablespoons walnuts
1 banana, sliced
1 kiwi, sliced
Segments of one grapefruit and juice
¾ cup milk substitute of choice
Toss all ingredients except the grapefruit and milk substitute into a bowl.
After cutting grapefruit in half, use a small, sharp knife to remove the segments. Add segments to the top of the bowl and squeeze in the juice.
Top the bowl with milk substitute.
In a pinch, simply add water (the fruits blend with the water and give it a sweet taste)

In the past decade, when current Michigan basketball coach John Beilein held the same job at West Virginia University, he recalled his playing days at Wheeling College in the 1970s.
Wheeling, Beilein remembered, met Division I Duquesne in Pittsburgh and dropped a close decision.
Just days later, the Cardinals returned to West Virginia Conference play, visited Fairmont State at the armory in Fairmont and were destroyed by coach Joe Retton's Falcons, Beilein noted.
The respect remained decades later.
One of the preseason exhibition games Beilein scheduled for the Coliseum while at WVU was against the Falcons.
On Monday, thanks to a close relationship between WVU coach Bob Huggins and his former assistant and second-year Fairmont State University coach Jerrod Calhoun, the teams will meet for another exhibition at the Coliseum.
Game time is 7 p.m., with the ticket price at $10, and it's a great opportunity for fans in North Central West Virginia to get a look at a couple of teams just days before they are to start their 2013-14 regular seasons.
"I worked with coach Huggins for a long, long time," Calhoun said. "Our relationship is unbelievable. We worked it out when I got the job here. He thought it'd be great for our university and for our kids and program."
The top priority for the teams, of course, is preparation for the season and playing as well as possible.
Last season, the Falcons, in Calhoun's first year, were able to win 23 games, up from eight the previous season, and compete in the NCAA Division II Tournament, ultimately falling to West Liberty.
FSU senior Brendan Cooper says this year's team is different, and the Falcons have even loftier expectations.
"We have a brand new team," Cooper said. "If we play well against them, it'll set us up for the rest of the season."
As WVU transitioned to the Big 12 a year ago, Huggins suffered through his first losing season since his first year as a coach at 13-19.
Huggins, though, boasts a career record of 723-286. 133 of his wins have come while at WVU. Huggins led the Mountaineers to their first-ever Big East championship in 2010. In the same season, the Mountaineers went to the Final Four. The trip to the Final Four was WVU's first since 1959. Teams coached under Huggins have made it to the postseason 27 of his 31 seasons, including five times out of the first six years with WVU. He ranks third in total victories among active Division I coaches.
Huggins, who like Calhoun is working with a number of new players, is eager to see the Mountaineers consistently shoot well.
"We make shots in practice. You would think in some point in time it would translate to doing it in games," Huggins said. "I don't think anyone would say Terry Henderson or Eron Harris isn't a good shooter because they did it (last year)."
For Fairmont State, Monday's outing — which will be televised on ROOT Sports — is an opportunity to build an even stronger following, a goal that Calhoun has stressed since taking the job.
"We're trying to brand our program and build our program," Calhoun said. "I think the Big 12 fans, of course the West Virginia fans, a lot of those fans come down and watch our games, too. They really enjoyed what they saw. So hopefully when the Mountaineers aren't playing, they'll drive down and see us."
These are proud basketball programs that have fallen just short of national championships — the Falcons by three points to Central State of Ohio in 1968 and the Jerry West-led Mountaineers by a single point to California in 1959.
The scoreboard will show a winning team about 9 p.m. Monday. At the same time, there will be thousands of other winners — the fans who take advantage of the opportunity to watch the teams play.
FSU vs. WVU exhibition game great opportunity for fans in region

'Pothole blitz' badly needed service coming in West Virginia
Hopefully, the heavy snow and extremely cold weather of January, February and early March are in the past.
Remnants of the harsh winter, though, remain. They're faced each day by the state's drivers.
Potholes have West Virginia's roads in their worst condition in years, and the damaging freeze-thaw cycle is not over. -
'The issues are complicated' with e-cigarettes
E-cigarettes have been around for about seven years.
But you'd be shocked at how long the idea for the the tobacco-less product has been around.
"A primitive, battery-operated 'smokeless non-tobacco cigarette' was patented as early as 1963 and described in Popular Mechanics in 1965," Megan McArdle wrote for Business Week last monty. -
Coal industry can't afford to give this administration and EPA more ammunition
Coal already has a bad name in Washington, D.C.
The whole industry got another black eye this week when Alpha Natural Resources Inc., one of the country's largest coal producers, agreed to pay a $27.5 million fine and invest $200 million to reduce illegal water pollution in five states, including West Virginia. -
Being observant, reporting suspicions can make difference for hurting children
If a child is hurting, we wouldn't hesitate to help.
Or would we?
In a five-year span, 22,830 children were victims of some type of neglect or abuse in West Virginia. That's an overwhelming number to think about. -
Gee makes major impact and earns another term as WVU president
Let's imagine that a graduate from West Virginia University in the early 1980s, when E. Gordon Gee was president, came back to get an extra degree now and couldn't believe that E. Gordon Gee is "still" the president of WVU.
Effort to encourage purchase of goods produced in U.S. deserves support
The concept of encouraging the purchase of American-made products is certainly not new.
On the federal level, the Buy American Act was passed in 1933 by Congress and signed by President Herbert Hoover. It required the United States government to prefer U.S.-made products in its purchases. -
'Stop Meth, Not Meds' backed by readers
In West Virginia, there is something referred to as "stop-sale technology" that prevents a person from going to more than one pharmacy to purchase over-the-counter medication that contains the active ingredient pseudoephedrine, a nasal decongestant.
It's not an issue of stuffy noses that lawmakers were worried about when they created the system. -
Even small steps play part in critical mission to reduce childhood obesity
Just two years ago, more than one-third of children and adolescents were overweight or obese, meaning they had excess body weight based on their height.
It's a troubling statistic, and one that health officials have worked diligently to reverse. -
Cutting-edge heart procedure at Mon General is saving lives
"I used to think I wouldn't live to be 50. Well, I made it to 50 and then some," Pearl Walls said.
Walls is likely alive today and able to tell her story to the Times West Virginian because of a cutting-edge procedure performed at Monongalia General Hospital — a Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement (TAVR), which was only approved for use by the FDA in 2011. -

Presents for Food Pantry
Birthday celebration offers chance to help Newton neighbors
When she celebrated her 9th birthday this month, Emma asked her guests to bring canned goods for the local food pantry instead.
The birthday girl from Newton collected more than 100 items that she planned to deliver to the Newton Town Hall Thursday night. The donation will help keep the shelves stocked at the food pantry.
Emma said this was the first time she's asked for food donations for her birthday, but she has twice donated hair to the Locks of Love, a nonprofit organization that provides hairpieces to disadvantaged children experiencing hair loss from medical conditions.
Her parents, Dale and Kara, were surprised, too.

Kulintang music is mostly used as a public entertainment for different occasions. It can be used in festivals, parades, weddings, religious rituals, healing ceremonies, and large feasts. It was also said that kulintang music could be used for communicating long distance messages from one town to another. They only prohibit kulintang music during funerals and during the time of planting and harvest season.
The gongs could weigh roughly from two pounds to three pounds and have dimensions from six to ten inches for their diameters and three to five inches for their height, and were decorated with carvings. The size of each of the gongs ranges from biggest to smallest with the biggest having the lowest pitch and the smallest having the highest pitch. The gongs are suspended horizontally on two thick parallel strings tied at both ends to a box-like wooden frame called an antangan. The height of the wooden frame is just a couple of inches higher than the seat of a regular dining chair. Small wooden bridges are placed across the frame beneath the strings to support the weight of the heavy gongs. The gongs were traditionally made from bronze, but due to its shortage after World War II, they were made from brass until today.
The kulintang is played by striking the gongs with two wooden beaters or sticks, about a foot in length. The players would use techniques such as twirling the beaters, juggling them in mid-air, and... [continues]

A horror story for an elite: Stephen King takes prize
Whether you've read the novel or not, you know the spine-tingling story: A perfectly normal man in a remote old house starts hearing voices, slips into insanity, and kills his family.
Skip to next paragraphSubscribe Today to the Monitor
"The Shining"? You're off by 200 years. It's America's first novel, "Wieland," written by Charles Brockden Brown in 1798.
Of course Stephen King, with 300 million copies of his books in print, sells better than his Revolutionary forefather, now relegated to the footnotes of American literary history. But the reigning master of horror is still battling the forces of snobbery. Wednesday, as he receives the National Book Foundation's Medal for Distinguished Contribution to American Letters, he's also at the center of a debate over what, exactly, is "literature."
The lifetime achievement award has gone to the likes of John Updike, Philip Roth, and Eudora Welty, and the announcement that King was next in line drew roars of protest and fears of an imploding Western canon from literary critic Harold Bloom and a host of others who deride King's work as "penny dreadfuls" - and dismiss the horror genre as pure pulp. For literary lions and fervent fans, such tirades probe the line between highbrow and lowbrow - and raise some eyebrows, too.
"These lines between popular and elite have always been very fluid in American culture," says Dana Heller, an English professor and director of the Humanities Institute at Old Dominion University in Norfolk, Va. "A lot of that [fluidity] has to do with how we understand the term 'popular' itself. It could be base and vulgar, the lowest common denominator. But there's also a definition of popular that arises with democratic movements - that what people at large like must be good."
King has been compared to Edgar Allan Poe and William Shakespeare - and derided by Mr. Bloom as "an immensely inadequate writer." Like Charles Dickens, King's published his work in serial form to great commercial success. Critics quibble over which parallel is best: J.K. Rowling, John Milton, Dean Koontz, Danielle Steel, Nathaniel Hawthorne.
But those comparisons, cautions Alan Cheuse, book commentator on NPR's "All Things Considered," go only so far: "The material is not central to the culture in the way that Dickens's material was. Dickens was writing about the very serious core of British society - life in the big city, distinctions of life among the various social classes - and King's material is really much more peripheral. He's telling ghost stories, basically."
King's real gift, says Mr. Cheuse, is his broad appeal. "Even Shakespeare's most serious plays had sections that appealed to groundlings - the lowest audience - and King manages to bring in those serious readers and the lowest common denominator."
King himself has made sure to defy categorization. He writes of blood and gore and cyborgs, a rabid St. Bernard hurling himself against a broken-down Ford Pinto, and dead pets who return to seek revenge. Yet he quotes the Greek poet and essayist George Seferis. He includes Wallace Stevens's "The Emperor of Ice Cream" in his vampire novel "Salem's Lot." He wrote a novella imitating Jorge Luis Borges. And he's written "The Shawshank Redemption" and "The Green Mile."
To some, that straddling of popular and elite literary worlds, and of the human and uncanny, is his greatest gift. "It speaks to something very profound going on in our culture, and the way we understand our own humanness," says Professor Heller. "As our sense of being human changes in a high-tech global environment, our literature is going to have to be attuned to those changes as well. And literature once associated with machines or with the nonhuman is going to seem more humanized and take on more value."

Pack this delicious alternative to mayonnaise-based potato salads with more veggies by doubling the amount of cabbage and carrots, if you like.
Grilled summer veggies add flavor and substance to this popular salad. It makes a wonderful light meal on its own, or serve it alongside a simple main course such as grilled fish or chicken.
These super-savory, veggie-packed tacos are an excellent breakfast or brunch treat. You can make the hash several days ahead and reheat it in a microwave or on the stovetop with a little added water or vegetable broth.
An elegant yet simple way to dress up asparagus. Grilled spears are tied together with chives and topped with a flavorful orange vinaigrette.
Sweet mangoes, tangy Dijon mustard and honey make an ideal dipping sauce for 365 Everyday Value® Breaded Chickenless Nuggets or Organic Crunchy Pretzel Sticks. The kids will love it, and so will you!
This easy dish makes a wonderful appetizer for company. Have your fishmonger crack the crab legs (or do it yourself with a heavy knife) so they absorb more of the seasoning as they heat and so that the meat is easier to remove from the shell.
Prepare this easy breakfast or brunch dish the night before and most of your work is done before the guests even arrive. The size of baguettes can vary, so simply keep in mind that each time you layer the bread in this dish it should be a single layer only.
Chia seeds soaked overnight turn into a simple pudding, similar in consistency to tapioca.
Melt the white chocolate in a double boiler over medium-low heat or in the microwave for about 1 minute. Just make sure to stir it often to keep the chocolate from burning. For the best results, chill ghosts until you're ready to serve them.
This delicious fish dish for one cooks in no time with no mess--the perfect meal! Serve with steamed rice or buttered pasta and a green salad.
This broiled omelet can be thrown together after a busy day with minimal clean up. Experiment with different kinds of mushrooms; they all pair well with salty ham. Savory and delicious either hot or at room temperature, this frittata works well for breakfast, lunch...
Roasted squash embodies the essence of cold weather meals, caramelized onions add a piquant touch, and fresh sage and dried cranberries dress it up for the holidays. A versatile side dish that complements anything from a weekday family dinner to a lavish holiday...
Tilapia's mild flavor is built on with a creamy topping that everyone will love and you will love how easy it is to put together! Round out your meal with roasted potatoes and a green salad.
Experiment with different varieties of apples and dried fruit to make this maple-sweetened treat, delicious for dessert or breakfast. Top servings with spoonfuls of yogurt or a drizzle of cream, if you like.
A show-stopper! Make the pesto a few days ahead-or purchase pesto-and then it's just minutes to a beautiful meal. The skin on one side and pesto on the other keeps the fish deliciously moist.
This tasty pasta dish can be prepared for about $3.17 per serving. Enjoy with bread and a fresh green salad on the side. Ingredients with an asterisk (*) are available as Whole Foods...
You'll never go back to plain old fried catfish after you try this! And, it is a great recipe for dinner guests…nice flavor and presentation at a price that lets you splurge on a fancier dessert and better wine.

Excellent cartoon! The message could not be more clear.
To borrow from the tyrant's wife, I am, for the first time, truly ashamed of my country, or at least of its government. I am ashamed of Obama for his treason, and of our legislative and judicial branches for their utter failure to protect and defend as they are sworn to do. Checks and balances can only work when those who must exercise them are not in agreement with the tyranny.
And who are the political establishment and mainstream media treating as irrational?
Those in Afghanistan who are throwing what amounts to a temper tantrum with guns, or the Catholic Church invoking the protections of our Constitution?
It sure makes it look like our administration really only respects and listens to you and your religious beliefs if you get violent. Not a good precedent!
The founders knew and wrote about the need for periodically starting over. Please God grant us the strength to do what is necessary to our future.
I suppose due to yesterday's violent weather in the south and midwest, BO felt it wouldn't be a good Friday (no pun intended) to spring another mandate or executive order our way.
After all, there's only so much evil one day can possess (no pun here either)!
He was bragging about his apology and how it "worked" the other day. but they're still killing our men.

Snow began to fall around the Northeast on Friday at the start of what's predicted to be a massive, possibly historic blizzard, and residents scurried to stock up on food and supplies ahead of the storm poised to dump up to 3 feet of snow from New York City to Boston and beyond.
Even before the first snowflake had fallen, Boston, Providence, R.I., Hartford, Conn., and other towns and cities in New England and upstate New York towns canceled school Friday, and airlines scratched more than 3,700 flights through Saturday, with the disruptions from the blizzard certain to ripple across the U.S.
"This one doesn't come along every day. This is going to be a dangerous winter storm," said Alan Dunham, meteorologist for the National Weather Service in Taunton, Mass. "Wherever you need to get to, get there by Friday afternoon and don't plan on leaving."
The heaviest snowfall was expected Friday night and into Saturday. Wind gusts could reach 75 mph. Widespread power failures were feared, along with flooding in coastal areas still recovering from Superstorm Sandy in October.
Boston could get 2 to 3 feet of snow, while New York City was expecting 10 to 12 inches. Mayor Michael Bloomberg said plows and 250,000 tons of salt were being put on standby. To the south, Philadelphia was looking at a possible 2 to 5 inches.
In the southeast Massachusetts town of Whitman, where up to 30 inches of snow is forecast, public works crews were clearing crosswalk signs, trash barrels and anything else that might impede plows later in the day.
"We've had instances where they have predicted something big and it's petered out," said Dennis Smith, a DPW worker. "I don't think this is going to be 1 of those times."
Smith's partner, Bob Trumbull, sounded a note of optimism, saying the relative lack of snow earlier this winter would make this storm easier to clean up.
"At least there is room for this snow. There are no snow banks so we will have a place to put it," Trumbull said.
Amtrak said its Northeast trains will stop running Friday afternoon. The organizers of New York's Fashion Week - a closely watched series of fashion shows held under a big tent - said they will have extra crews to help with snow removal and will turn up the heat and add an extra layer to the venue.
Blizzard warnings were posted for parts of New Jersey and New York's Long Island, as well as portions of Massachusetts, Rhode Island and Connecticut, including Hartford, New Haven, Conn., and Providence. The warnings extended into New Hampshire and Maine.
In New England, it could prove to be among the top 10 snowstorms in history, and perhaps even break Boston's record of 27.6 inches, set in 2003, the National Weather Service said. The last major snowfall in southern New England was well over a year ago - the Halloween storm of 2011.
Dunham said southern New England has seen less than half its normal snowfall this season, but "we're going to catch up in a heck of a hurry." He added: "Everybody's going to get plastered with snow."
Some gas stations in Connecticut ran out of fuel Thursday night during the rush to prepare for the storm. Motorists in Torrington, West Hartford, Vernon, East Lyme and other towns ran out of fuel as people filled their cars and trucks as well as containers for generators and snow blowers. Long lines were reported at many stations.
At Stop & Shop supermarket in Mount Vernon, N.Y., on Friday morning, there was a line of shoppers outside when it opened at 7 a.m., and a steady stream followed. Checkout lines were long.
Mary Anne DiBello, 44, was stocking up her cart as the snow began to fall.
She said she hosted a sleepover Thursday night with four 9- and 10-year-olds, including her daughter.
"Now I think I'm going to be stuck with them until I bring them to school on Monday," she said, adding her daughter just called her at the store to say the girls were awake.
"I told her, 'Go wake your father.' I'm stuck here."
In New Hampshire, Dartmouth College student Evan Diamond and other members of the ski team were getting ready for races at the Ivy League school's winter carnival.
"We're pretty excited about it because this has been an unusual winter for us," he said. "We've been going back and forth between having really solid cold snaps and then the rain washing everything away."
But he said the snow might be too much of a good thing this weekend: "For skiing, we like to have a nice hard surface, so it will be kind of tough to get the hill ready."
The governors of Connecticut and Massachusetts ordered nonessential state workers to stay home Friday and urged travelers to stay home.
Terrance Rodriguez, a doorman at a luxury apartment complex in Boston, took the forecast in stride.
"It's just another day in Boston. It's to be expected. We're in a town where it's going to snow," he said. "It's like doomsday prep. It doesn't need to be. People just take it to the extreme."

Rabbi Blane is a Universalist Jew, and while JSLI encourages the Universalist philosophy, students are multi-denominational and affiliate with the Orthodox, Conservative, Reform and Reconstructionist movements.
Jewish Universalism, as interpreted by Rabbi Blane, believes the following:
- While traditional Judaism teaches that God chose the Jewish people to be in a unique covenant with G-d and were charged by the Torah to be a light unto the nations, this view does not preclude a belief that G-d has a relationship with all other peoples too.
- All faiths are loved and supported by G-d, and all paths to the divine are equally holy. G-d does not choose a favorite child.
We should never fear nor diminish any other paths that people take to reach G-d.
- We can accomplish "Tikkun Olam" (repairing the world through shared responsibility with G-d) through having an unconditional acceptance of each other's peaceful doctrine and through "G'milut Chasadim" (acts of loving kindness).
- Jewish Universalism therefore goes beyond religious tolerance, which is the condition of peaceful existence between adherents of different religions or religious denominations.
Biblical references as well as rabbinic literature support this Universalist view. For example:
- Moses refers to the "source of the breath of all flesh" (Numbers 27:16) to appoint someone over the community of Israel.
- In the classic story of the prophet Bilam and his donkey, the Torah identifies and acknowledges a prophet outside the community of Israel.
- The Mishnah states that anyone who kills or saves a single human – not Jewish – life, has done the same to the entire world.
- The Talmud states: "Righteous people of all nations have a share in the world to come" (Sanhedrim 105a).

Cap hospital spending? No, free consumers instead
According to the New Hampshire Center for Policy Studies, total health care spending in the state rose by an average of 6.9 percent from 2000 to 2010, while spending on hospital care rose by 8.8 percent. The remedy it proposed last week to legislators: cap the amount of money hospitals can spend.
That is the worst health care policy idea to come out of this state since Maggiecare, Maggie Hassan's 2010 proposal to create a state commission that would set prices for health care services.
According to the International Health, Racquet & Sportsclub Association, the cost of a health club membership rose by .4 percent from 2008 to 2011. This tiny cost increase occurred during a health club expansion that saw the number of people joining health clubs hit a record high of 59 million.
If hospital expansion is the reason why health care costs are rising so fast, why isn't health club expansion leading to a similar increase in the cost of health club memberships? The answer is obvious. Most people pay directly for their health club memberships, while most people pay a tiny fraction of the cost of their hospital visits, with third parties paying the bulk of the costs.
The solution to reducing health care costs is not to have the state set price controls. It is to give the people more direct control over their health care spending, freeing the power of competition to do what it does best: improve quality while lowering prices.

Wow, someone sounds bitter. 8 years on the site, basically one post a year, and no feedback. And then this.
Here is a thought. If you money is a green as everyone elses, perhaps you should have put that green money where your mouth was as coughed up $20.00 to upgrade your membership? In addition to supporting this great FREE website, you would have had some additional functionality (expanded e-mail etc). I can't say I agree with everything the site owner does, or every rule, or how the mods make some of their decisions. So what? You operate within the rules, try to be a good person in general, and enjoy the use of the site. How hard is that? |

A brow lift or "forehead lift" is a procedure that restores a more youthful, refreshed look to the area about the eyes.
The specialists at the Duke Aesthetics Center can help correct drooping brows and improve the horizontal lines and furrows that can make a person appear angry, sad, or tired.
Your surgeon will help you decide which surgical approach will best achieve your cosmetic goals.
An incision is usually made well behind the hairline so that the scar won't be visible.
The skin of the forehead is carefully lifted so that the underlying tissue can be removed and the muscles of the forehead can be altered or released.
The surgery generally takes one to two hours, and it is an outpatient procedure.
Although a brow lift/forehead lift does not stop the clock, it minimizes the appearance of aging for years.
You will experience temporary side effects such as swelling, soreness, numbness, headaches, and bruising.
Generally, you can return to work in five to seven days. More strenuous activity will have to wait for four to six weeks or more. Also, you will need to limit your exposure to sun for several months.
As with any surgical procedure there is a risk of bleeding, but you will have a pressure dressing postoperatively to diminish this risk.

Best of Total Beauty: All Our Best Beauty Product Stories in One Place
CeraVe Facial Moisturizing Lotion PM
BEST Moisturizer For Face I Have Found!
This night time face lotion is the best one I have found and have tried! I was pretty skeptical at first because my face is really sensitive. This lotion is rated "best" online, so after seeing that, I went out that same day and bought this at Walmart for about $12. I thought this night time lotion would be maybe thicker than what it is, but I like that its a very light, smooth, sort of gel-like/serum lotion. It doesn't hurt my face at all! Nor does it leave my face red, broken out, dry, tight, or sore! I LOVE THIS STUFF! It soaks right into my skin and it makes my face feel soft, smooth, hydrated, and its not heavy feeling or greasy. A little bit does go a long way with this stuff for me; I use 2 pumps, maybe 3 if my face is feeling really dry in certain areas. I give this 9 stars though because I do wish it was a little bit cheaper since the bottle isn't all that huge, BUT, I can totally live with and justify paying $12 for this bottle because it really works and helps. Plus, like I had said, a little bit does go a long way!! AWESOME!! I recommend this lotion to anyone with sensitive, dry, skin (I'm a natural redhead with very fair skin that is easily irritated/sensitive to so many products on the market...even some that say they're great for sensitive skin). I am very, very happy with the results I am getting from using this PM face moisturizer. Plus, its loaded with GREAT things for your skin! I will be buying again and again!

Nivea A Kiss of Mint and Minerals Lip Care
Eh...I prefer the mint medicated Blistex still
I bought this from Ulta recently because the Nivea lip care, along with a lot of other products, were buy 1, get 1 half off. I decided to try this one out since I LOVE my Blistex medicated mint lip balm because the mint is very soothing. This particular lip balm is only ok. The balm glides on nice and smooth, and it melts nicely into my lips, but after that, my lips feel kind of dry still. I like the tube/packaging, I like the scent, I like the texture, and I love the price I paid for it. I have tried other Nivea lip balms in the past, and this purchase reminded me why I don't really buy these products from them. This balm just doesn't last long enough for me.

The Body Shop Blue Corn 3 in 1 Deep Cleansing Scrub Mask
VERY Nice Mask For My Sensitive Face
So far, I love this mask! It is easy to use and really makes my skin feel soft, smooth, and clean! My face is usually easily irritated by cleasning face products...even ones made specifically for sensitive skin people! MY FACE WAS NOT IRRITATED, RED, OR DRIED OUT!!! This mask smells bad but the smell doesn't hang around once its washed off. I like that this is a 3 in 1 product and it does what it says it will do. When I was waiting the 10 minutes before I washed it off, I felt a soothing sensation on my skin...almost like a minty cooling sensation, it felt nice. The only thing about this product is the price you pay for the amount that you will get. It would be nice if it were a little bit cheaper, but this will last a good few months since you don't use it every day. I am very happy with this!

The Body Shop Coconut Body Scrub
I like it, but...
the smell isn't bad, I just wish it was stronger on my skin after using it (in case I don't moisturize after due to time or whatever). I am glad I purchased it though. I wish it was a bit more cheaper for the amount that you get, but a little bit will go a long way with this. Its easy to use and you don't need much. The texture is creamy and is also coarse, but it didn't irritate/hurt/scratch my skin at all. It did leave my skin feeling soft and smooth which is nice! My whole body feels great, even my feet. I probably wouldn't buy this again (I'm not saying I'm disappointed) just because I am not in love with it, and I want to try out their other scrubs. I am sure TBS has a scrub that has a stronger scent and still effective. This is a nice product to have on hand, and I am looking forward to seeing how it holds up in the WI winter months.

Neutrogena Naturals Multi-Vitamin Nourishing Night Cream
Nice night cream, soft skin in AM! Is pricey.
I was hesitant to buy this night cream because of the price and its a small jar, but I noticed the ingredients listed on the box so I figured I'd give it a try...it can't hurt. I was also hesitant because my face is sensitive and products that claim to not irritate skin, usually cause minor breakouts or redness on mine. I like that its rich and creamy, and makes my face feel incredibly soft when I wake up. The first night using it, I thought I was going to wake up with a break out or oily skin, but nope! It does feel a little oily/greasy when you smooth it on, but you're going to bed, so not a big deal because it'll sink in. It really does a nice job at moisturizing, making me look refreshed in the morning and my skin very soft/smooth. It hasn't made me break out yet, hasn't irritated my face, or anything like that. I like the glass jar, but be careful with it because if you drop it, I can see it cracking. You do not need to use a lot of this either which is very nice; a little bit goes a long way! There is a slight fragrance to this cream, but its not overpowering to me and it does not linger. All in all, its not bad. I'm happy with it.

Nexxus Humectress Hydrating Treatment Deep Conditioner
Soft hair, smells nice, thick product. Overpriced.
***For starters, I battle with thick, naturally wavy, frizz prone, medium length, red hair. And I usually never have luck with products that claim to moisturize hair/prevent or control frizz.*** I see that this product has been very bad to other reviewers, but I actually have had some luck with this. The price is high for me personally, but I'm not using this every single day or anything so it'll last a little bit. I like the smell, thickness, and creaminess of this stuff. It actually makes my hair feel nice and soft. Its not a miracle product though. I like my Nexxus shampoo and conditioner, and will continue to buy them, but this I may buy again once its gone, not too sure. My hair doesn't look or feel greasy after using this, and doesn't feel weighed down. I let it sit in my hair (especially ends) while I do everything else in the shower, rinse it out thoroughly, and then comb a small amount through my damp hair. I know there is something else out there that is better, but I've yet to find it, so I'm just gonna use this all up and see what happens then.

E.L.F. Essentials Waterproof Eyeliner Pen
Its NOT perfect but its OK. $1 buy, nice for back up
I gave this a 6 because for $1.00, you can't really go too wrong; you get what you pay for literally. To me, this is just a simple black eyeliner pen...nothing more, not going to do tricks or anything, it gets the job done. My pen wasn't dried up, wasn't too watery/runny, and it applied very easily and it also dried quick once applied. Its a nice little thing to travel with because if you lose it or anything, no big deal, only spent $1 on it. Its worth a try, especially if you're new to eyeliner/makeup or are just not sure what kind of eyeliner you like better. This didn't flake on me and it lasted on my eyes all night. Maybe I just happen to be lucky with this product? There are other eyeliners out there that I prefer to use over this, but this one is just nice to have just in case.

Maybelline New York Volum' Express The Falsies Waterproof Mascara
Drugstore Mascara Fav!
Alright, so my lashes are blonde and kind of short. I've never been able to find a mascara that did what it claimed or anything. I've been using this one for about 2 years or so now (not waterproof though). At first, I didn't like this at all, but figured I should keep at it. I actually like it quite a bit now. I like the brush, the price, and I don't need to apply a ton of it either. I haven't had any flaking or smearing issues while wearing it. My eyelashes look longer and fuller, and the mascara doesn't weigh them down after being curled so my lashes stay nicely curled! I'm pleased with this product. I like that it makes my dark brown eyes seem "bigger." The only thing I don't like about this is that after wiping off excess product onto a tissue, I still might get small clumps while applying that I can fix. Its by far a favorite compared to other brands I have used (Clinique, Cover Girl, etc).

Simple Protecting Light Moisturizer with SPF 15
Love Simple! Awesome moisturizer!
I really love this moisturizer! Simple is an excellent brand! I love that there is SPF in this, how it smoothes onto skin, doesn't leave me looking greasy after applying, doesn't clog pores, or irritate my face. The bottle is perfect size and the price isn't bad; a little bit goes a long way with this! I feel good about wearing this! At first, it sort of felt, I don't know, oily I guess I could say, when applying but after it sinks in, its just great. I do recommend this to anyone, especially to those of us who have sensitive skin! It might not best to everyone, but to me it is.

Simple Facial Exfoliating Wipes
They're ok. Worth a try! Still love Simple!
I just started using these and I like them so far, but I do not love them. For these being wipes, they aren't half bad for exfoliating. They kind of make my skin a little red, but they don't dry it out. After a little bit of time passes, my face is fine and no longer red. I'm not sure if I would buy these again though. They are completely handy and a nice quick way to freshen up.

Private wine tasting in Paris
Traveling to Paris with my mother and my other half next week, and I'm interested in arranging some sort of nice private wine tasting. I'm a professional food journalist and do know a little bit about wine; my companions are fans of wine but are basically amateurs.
Any suggestions for good places to try to arrange a nice experience?
I also attended a tasting with Olivier a couple of years ago. He is knowledgeable and down to earth. Everyone there had a great time.
He definitely knows his wines, and also his market. You can let him know your level of expertise and interest, and he will tailor your tasting for you.
I highly recommend O-Chateau. It's run by a very energetic, inventive, and charming young French man, Olivier Magny. I think that his rates are very reasonable and well worth it! He speaks several languages and gives wine tastings in English as comfortably as he would in French. He's hilarious but provides a very intelligent and well thought-out presentation. http://www.o-chateau.com/ Best of luck and enjoy Paris!!
