VISITORSTHY B738 TC-JGH (34406) made its first visit today on the afternoon flight from Istanbul/Ataturk, as did Lufthansa A320 D-AIZG (4324) on the second Frankfurt service. The evening saw a third newcomer, Air Berlin A320 D-ABNA (5191), on the second fight from Nuremberg.Making its second visit was THY B738 TC-JHM.I managed to miss the arrivals of Lear 45 G-PFCT yesterday evening on its second visit to Gatwick plus Citation 550 CS-DHI, which arrived in the morning as NJE019Q.FLEET NEWS BA Cityflyer. An interesting & surprising rumour that has come my way is that the carrier has ordered 16 E195s for a new Gatwick operation. Anyone know if there is anything in this, please?Thomson A/W has returned B738 C-FYLC (33029) to Sunwing A/L following summer lease & it was due to be ferried from Dublin to Toronto/Pearson today.ROUTE NEWS None today.MISCELLANEOUS ITEMSA snippet from TravelMole that made me smile:"They are supposed to be the last line of defence between order and chaos in flight, but sometimes flight attendants cause the chaos themselves. Two flight attendants on United's flight 1214 from Raleigh-Durham International Airport to Chicago got into a brawl so bad the pilot took the flight back to the airport and law enforcement officials were called to the plane. The Raleigh-Durham News and Observer reported that no arrests were made after it was determined that there had been no physical assault. The two had been in a prior altercation and the accidental brush of a leg while the attendants were seated near each other (presumably on takeoff) was the start of the incident. Last week, two flight attendants on an American Eagle flight from New York to Washington got in a similar fight. The plane was brought back to the gate and passengers had to wait four hours for a replacement crew to be brought in."

According to IAG's Q2 report they currently hold options on 15 E-Jets
BA have been looking at it's options for a new fleet at LGW. This has included ordering a mixed fleet of E-Jets & A320's or A319's and A320's. If the rumour is true I think the LGW fleet will be made up of 15 E195's and about 8 to 10 A320's.
If the rumour is true I would expect that the aircraft would be operated as BA mainline as the current 737 fleet is. With the E-Jets being used to operated routs such as ALG, AMS, EDI, GLA, JER, VCE & VRN with the A320's being used for routes such as DBV, PFO, RAK, SKG &TUN,
Thanks for your observations

Veterans get VIP treatment for career assistance
To be a soldier, one must develop the discipline and endurance to take on any challenge. It also means you are part of a team that always has your back. U.S. Army veteran Ryan Shannon of West Seattle learned these lessons twice in his military career -- once while serving two tours in Iraq and Afghanistan, and again after he returned in 2010 to face a series of personal hardships and a tough job search.
Shannon, a Michigan native, had served in the 2nd Ranger Battalion deployed out of Fort Lewis. As is the case for many veterans, Shannon's transition to civilian life wasn't easy. He was discharged when his marriage fell apart while he was overseas, forcing him to return to the Seattle area to take custody of his two children. Then, in September 2010, Shannon suffered a horrific injury, severing four fingers and a portion of his hand in a table-saw accident at his home.
Shannon faced the daunting challenge of raising two kids as a single dad while coping with a severe disability in a terrible job market. "Since I was already out of the Army, I was left in a position where I thought no one could help me," he says. "I was stressed out and had no place to go."
While he was undergoing physical therapy, however, Shannon met Ric Price, manager of the Veterans Innovation Program (VIP), administered through the Washington state Department of Veterans Affairs (WDVA). Since 2007, Price says, VIP has helped more than 1,000 Washington state veterans of the Iraq and Afghanistan wars with $2.6 million in direct assistance and educational grants.
VIP is set up as a two-pronged program: The Defender's Fund, a one-time emergency grant of up to $1,000 per veteran, and The Individual Grant Program, a series of competitively bid grants to help veterans and their families find living-wage jobs. Funds are available in the form of on-the-job training and apprenticeship programs, tuition payment for certifications and reimbursement of various monthly bills.
VIP funds, Price explains, can range from a few hundred dollars to pay the next month's rent to up to $3,500 to pay for food, fuel, vehicle maintenance, credit card debt, supplies, education tuition and other major expenditures.
Right off the bat, Shannon says, the VIP folks put him at ease. "They told me, 'Don't worry, take the time to heal and be a parent.' " VIP funds paid for six months' rent and significant repairs to his truck, and covered expenses including gas money. "They even helped me buy Christmas presents for my family," he adds.
The key to VIP's success, Price says, is that it's not just a government handout. "The funds coming from the Individual Grant Program are competitively bid -- they're not entitlements," he says. "We're very serious about getting a good return on our investment." The jobs found through the program pay nearly $16 per hour, on average, and have returned about $19 million to the state's economy since 2007, he adds.
After about two months in the program, Shannon met with VIP counselors to set an educational course and learn new skill sets to overcome his disability. In 2011, he enrolled at Evergreen State College using funds from VIP and the GI Bill to take classes in forensic science. He later transferred to South Seattle Community College to pursue a degree in general sciences, and helped establish a Veterans Club at the college.
Today, Shannon, now 30 and applying through the VA for a prosthesis on his injured hand, is just a few days away from becoming certified as a personal fitness trainer through the International Sports Sciences Association. Eventually, he wants to attend the University of Washington and go into the medical profession.
About 140 veterans are served by VIP each year, many of whom are in the National Guard or Army Reserve, which tends to have older personnel. "A lot of employers don't like to hire 40- to 50-year-olds," Price says. "We've seen a large group of older engineers and technical specialists coming back [from Iraq and Afghanistan] who have had lots of injuries to their knees and back from regular mission stresses."
You can help the VIP the same way it helped Ryan Shannon and so many other local vets. In honor of Veteran's Day (Nov. 11), the WDVA and the Washington Lottery are sponsoring a Veterans Raffle to raise funds for the program. From Sunday through Jan. 1, participants can buy raffle tickets for $10 apiece. Winners will be drawn on Jan. 2, with cash prizes ranging from $100 to $1 million. Last year the raffle raised more than $247,000 for the VIP, Price says.
"This is a life-changing program," Shannon adds. "I really can't say enough good things about it. They brought me back from the darkest days of my life, and now I'm looking up at the stars."

Lost and Found
Marty Wilson learned about wolf dogs starving in a nearby backyard from one of the students in her fifth-grade science class. She wished aloud that she could open a refuge for unwanted, neglected animals. "Why don't you?" her class challenged. Wilson's students wouldn't let her forget her mantra, "Never say can't!"
Within weeks, the neglected wolves – Topanga, Kia, and Couie – found sanctuary on a parcel of land Wilson purchased with the help of her family. "We hired a fencing company to quickly put up two specialized runs," Wilson said.
That's how the 250-acre Refuge Ridge in Emlyn, Kentucky, was born. Ten years later, more than 43 animals – including 14 wolf dogs – have found permanent homes there. Almost all of the wolves here have been sent due to court rulings, she said.
Now retired from teaching, Wilson resides at Refuge Ridge. It offers at-risk youth a series of adventure-based day camps, animal-assisted empathy training, and animal clicker training. "Every animal here has experienced abuse or neglect," she added. "Their resilience encourages camp participants and their families to see that it's not what happens to us but how we respond that determines the final outcome.
"All the programs promote respect for people, animals, and the environment. Our focus is to help the children develop greater self-esteem, self-reliance, compassion, and empathy."
On-site, the Roger and Phyllis Sherman Learning Center is under construction to house the camps and programs. Plus, fundraising is under way for a natural wolf habitat with large viewing areas for visitors.
"When I have finished daily tasks – feeding and paperwork – I can just sit and be with the wolfers," Wilson said. "Having them lean against me as I smell the flowers and trees and listen to the birds and frogs cannot be beat."

!–adsense–>One of the largest changes between previous versions of Windows and Windows Vista was a move from an INF described OS to componentization. A component in Windows is one or more binaries, a catalog file, and an XML file that describes everything about how the files should be installed. From associated registry keys and services to what kind security permissions the files should have. Components are grouped into logical units, and these units are used to build the different Windows editions.

- Transformer - The transformer is the power supply for your fixtures. It plugs into a standard household 110v outlet. The total lamp wattage of all fixtures connected to a transformer must be less than the capacity of the transformer. To determine which transformer you need, add up the wattage of all lamps and add 10% more as a safety factor. Example: If you're installing five light fixtures rated at 20 watts each, you will need a transformer that can accomodate at least 110 watts.
(TRANSFORMER SIZE = TOTAL WATTAGE OF LAMPS x 1.1)
- Cable - This is the electrical wire that runs from your transformer to your individual light fixtures. Determine the length of cable needed by measuring the distance from the outlet to the farthest fixture location. Adding branches of cable is recommended for lights that are not located in a straight line from the transformer to the farthest fixture, so include the length of cable that branches off the main line. Remember: always leave a couple extra feet of cable per fixture for potential repositioning.

This article uses data from the Health and Retirement Study to estimate the quantity and economic value of informal caregiving provided to older adults during their final year of life in the community. The authors found that older people who died in the community received an average of 65.8 hours per week of informal care. The economic value of that care ranges from $22,514 to $42,351 per caregiver, which is equivalent to the annual direct replacement costs with a home aide in 2002. That totals $1.4 billion nationally.

Born and raised in a working-class Connecticut community, Luke McNamara (Joshua Jackson) made it into an Ivy League college, where he's done quite well; his dream is to be accepted into Harvard Law School, but he knows that it will take more than a good report card to beat out the competition. When an upper-crust secret society called the Skulls asks Luke to join, he eagerly accepts, thinking that the club's connections will help him gain acceptance to Harvard. He enjoys the Skulls' luxurious lifestyle, but when his roommate, a journalism student, dies of an apparent suicide, he's convinced that something is wrong. The deeper Luke digs into the secrets of the Skulls, the more he's convinced that his friend's death was no suicide and that he's put himself in more danger than he imagined. The Skulls was the first starring vehicle for Joshua Jackson, who gained fame on the TV series Dawson's Creek; the supporting cast includes Paul Walker, Craig T. Nelson, Hill Harper, and William L. Petersen. ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide The Skulls II The red-robed Skulls are at it again. The exclusive, sinister college fraternity that makes hazing seem like pillow fights inducts Ryan Sommers (Robin Dunne), who later secretly witnesses what appears to be the death of a woman at the hands of a Skull member. But of course, he can't tell on a Skull because the motto is "A Skull above all others," which is how some of these guys get to be high government leaders and megalomaniacal industrialists. Ryan's conscience bothers him anyway but once he begins investigating how to report the crime, his girlfriend, Ali (Ashley Lyn Cafagna), rejects him and seemingly everyone in a position to help him is a Skull. With the inspiration of lovely, good-hearted Kelly (Lindy Booth), Ryan proceeds to do what's right, even if it's wrong for him. ~ Buzz McClain, All Movie Guide The Skulls 3 The second straight-to-video sequel to the 2000 thriller The Skulls marks the feature directorial debut of television producer/director J. Miles Dale. Again focusing on the secret fraternal society of The Skulls (based on the real-life Skull and Bones), The Skulls 3 stars Bring It On's Clare Kramer as Taylor Brooks, a new student who aims to become the first female member of the powerful organization. Met with resistance from many of The Skulls, Taylor shows that she's willing to resort to any means necessary to gain acceptance. Bryce Johnson and Barry Bostwick also star. ~ Matthew Tobey, All Movie Guide

For Immediate Release
Contact: Mark Genovese, 518.782.9400, ext 353
SYRACUSE, Nov. 22, 2010 – For more than 180 years, the County of Onondaga has provided care for its most vulnerable residents. Now, the registered nurses who work at the Van Duyn Home and Hospital fear the county is turning its back.
Onondaga County officials are preparing to seek bids for turning over operation of Van Duyn to a private corporation. Van Duyn nurses, who are represented by the New York State Nurses Association, believe that privatizing public health services is an expensive mistake.
The Van Duyn nurses will take part in a joint informational session with their CSEA colleagues between 2 and 4 p.m. Tuesday, Nov. 23, at the facility at 5075 West Seneca Turnpike.
The nurses are concerned because private industry's goal of earning a profit for its shareholders directly conflicts with the history and mission of Van Duyn to provide care for those who are most in need.
A private healthcare corporation is motivated to squeeze out profits by cutting corners and denying care to those who are unable to pay, those whose care may be more complicated or time consuming, or those with insurance is difficult to deal with. Patients who are left out in the cold may be forced to turn right back to the county for help, which puts a strain on other agencies. Or they could be forced into nursing homes outside of the county.
If the Van Duyn operation is turned over to a bidder outside of the county, the local economy would suffer. The tax dollars local residents pay to support locally based care through Medicare and Medicaid will be lost to some corporate CEO in another city.
If this privatization is indeed a foregone conclusion, the nurses believe that Onondaga County residents must insist that the facility continues to operate the public's interest and that it continues to provide care regardless of a person's ability to pay.
The New York State Nurses Association is the voice for nursing in the Empire State. With more than 37,000 members, it is the state's largest professional association and union for registered nurses. It supports nurses and nursing practice through education, research, legislative advocacy, and collective bargaining.

Much of the early life of Kim Jong-un is unknown to Western media. Presumably born in North Korea, Kim Jong-un is the son of Ko Young-hee, an opera singer, and Kim Jong-il,
who was the military-oriented leader of the country for over a decade until his death in 2011. Kim Jong-un has continued the country's nuclear testing and what is believed to be the development of missile technology despite international disapproval. He has pledged to focus on educational and economic reforms and is more mediagenic in his approach to leadership than his father.
Limited Information on Early Life
The birthdate and early childhood of North Korean leader Kim Jong-un is shrouded in mystery. It is known that he is the youngest son of Korean military leader Kim Jong Il (also written Jong-il), who, under the communist Worker's Party, had ruled North Korea since 1994; and the grandson of Kim Il-sung, his father's predecessor. Kim Jong Il began to prepare Kim Jong-un for succession to leadership in 2010. Upon his father's death in December 2011, Kim Jong-un assumed power. It is believed that he was in his late 20s at the time. He reportedly counts among his close allies his uncle, Jang Sung-taek, and army political bureau chief Choe Ryong Hae.
Kim Jong-un's mother was opera singer Ko Young-hee, who had two other children and is thought to have campaigned for Kim Jong-un to be his father's successor before her death in 2004. It has been reported that Kim Jong Il indeed took a liking to Kim Jong-un, noting that he saw in the youth a temperament similar to himself. It is also thought that Kim Jong-un may have been educated abroad in Switzerland before attending the Kim Il-sung Military University (named after his grandfather) in the capital of Pyongyang in the mid-2000s.
Suspected Weapons Testing
Under Kim Jong-un's authority, North Korea has continued what are believed to be weapons-testing programs. Though agreeing in February 2012 to halt nuclear testing and to a cessation on long-range missile launching, in April 2012, the country launched a satellite that failed shortly after takeoff. Then, in December of the same year, the government launched a long-range rocket that put a satellite in orbit. The U.S. government believes that these launches are meant to cover up work and testing on ballistic missile technology.
In February 2013, North Korea held its third underground nuclear test. The act has been roundly condemned by the international community, including the United States, Russia, Japan and China. In the face of further sanctions, analysts have stated that Kim's continued focus on armament while calling for U.S. peace talks is a strategy of positioning North Korea as a formidable entity and cementing his standing as a regional leader.
More Mediagenic Manner
In the summer of 2012, it was revealed that Kim had taken a wife, Ri Sol-ju. While the couple's exact wedding date is unknown, one source reported it as 2009. In the months since the marriage was uncovered, the country's first lady has frequently appeared in media—a striking departure from previous protocols.

An artist's rendering of the new Distinguished Warfare Medal which encompasses cyber warfare, among other pursuits. (DOD image)
Concerns that a medal honoring drone pilots and cyberwarriors is ranked too highly have reached the ears of new Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel. The Defense Department announced on March 12 that it is suspending production of the new Distinguished Warfare medal pending a 30 day review to be headed by Gen. Martin Dempsey, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.
Veterans groups and others complained that the new honor was too lofty for those not directly in harm's way. Sen. Carl Levin (D-Mich), chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee and ranking member Sen. James Inhofe (R-Okla.) said as much in a March 11 letter asking Hagel to rethink the standing of the Distinguished Warfare Medal. They wrote that placing the new medal above the Bronze Star could have an "adverse impact to morale."
Read the letter from Sens. Levin and Inhofe.
Read our original report here.
Former Defense Secretary Leon Panetta announced the Distinguished Warfare Medal in February to honor "extraordinary achievement, not involving acts of valor, directly impacting combat operations or other military operations," irrespective of the physical location of service member. The medal ranked just below the Distinguished Flying Cross, and above such battlefield decorations as the Bronze Star and the Purple Heart.
"Secretary Hagel has long had a history with the veterans service organizations," said Pentagon press secretary George Little in a March 12 briefing. "He's been a member of one. He headed the USO. He's heard their concerns. He's heard the concerns of others. And he believes that it's prudent to take into account those concerns and conduct this review."

Optic nerve
This article includes a list of references, but its sources remain unclear because it has insufficient inline citations. (November 2011) |
Nerve: Optic Nerve | |
The left optic nerve and the optic tracts.
Latin | nervus opticus |
Gray's | p.882 |
MeSH | Optic+Nerve |
Cranial nerves |
The optic nerve, also known as cranial nerve II, transmits visual information from the retina to the brain. Derived from the embryonic retinal ganglion cell, a diverticulum located in the diencephalon, the optic nerve does not regenerate after transection.
The optic nerve is the second of twelve paired cranial nerves but is considered to be part of the central nervous system, as it is derived from an outpouching of the diencephalon during embryonic development. As a consequence, the fibers are covered with myelin produced by oligodendrocytes, rather than Schwann cells of the peripheral nervous system, and are encased within the meninges. Peripheral neuropathies like Guillain-Barré syndrome do not affect the optic nerve.
The optic nerve is ensheathed in all three meningeal layers (dura, arachnoid, and pia mater) rather than the epineurium, perineurium, and endoneurium found in peripheral nerves. Fiber tracks of the mammalian central nervous system (as opposed to the peripheral nervous system) are incapable of regeneration, and, hence, optic nerve damage produces irreversible blindness. The fibres from the retina run along the optic nerve to nine primary visual nuclei in the brain, from which a major relay inputs into the primary visual cortex.
The optic nerve is composed of retinal ganglion cell axons and support cells. It leaves the orbit (eye socket) via the optic canal, running postero-medially towards the optic chiasm, where there is a partial decussation (crossing) of fibres from the temporal visual fields (the nasal hemi-retina) of both eyes. The proportion of decussating fibers varies between species, and is correlated with the degree of binocular vision enjoyed by a species.[1] Most of the axons of the optic nerve terminate in the lateral geniculate nucleus from where information is relayed to the visual cortex, while other axons terminate in the pretectal nucleus and are involved in reflexive eye movements. Other axons terminate in the suprachiasmatic nucleus and are involved in regulating the sleep-wake cycle. Its diameter increases from about 1.6 mm within the eye to 3.5 mm in the orbit to 4.5 mm within the cranial space. The optic nerve component lengths are 1 mm in the globe, 24 mm in the orbit, 9 mm in the optic canal, and 16 mm in the cranial space before joining the optic chiasm. There, partial decussation occurs, and about 53% of the fibers cross to form the optic tracts. Most of these fibres terminate in the lateral geniculate body.[citation needed]
From the lateral geniculate body, fibers of the optic radiation pass to the visual cortex in the occipital lobe of the brain. In more specific terms, fibers carrying information from the contralateral superior visual field traverse Meyer's loop to terminate in the lingual gyrus below the calcarine fissure in the occipital lobe, and fibers carrying information from the contralateral inferior visual field terminate more superiorly, to the cuneus.
The functional components carried in the optic nerve include SSA, special somatic afferent, which carries the sensory modality of vision.
The eye's blind spot is a result of the absence of photoreceptors in the area of the retina where the optic nerve leaves the eye.
Each human optic nerve contains between 770,000 and 1.7 million nerve fibers,[2] which are axons of the retinal ganglion cells of one retina. In the fovea, which has high acuity, these ganglion cells connect to as few as 5 photoreceptor cells; in other areas of retina, they connect to many thousand photoreceptors.
Sensory innervation of the eyeball is via the ophthalmic branch of the trigeminal nerve. The corneal reflex tests this afferent pathway.
Clinical significance[edit]
This section requires expansion. (February 2014) |
Damage to the optic nerve typically causes permanent and potentially severe loss of vision, as well as an abnormal pupillary reflex, which is diagnostically important. The type of visual field loss will depend on which portions of the optic nerve were damaged. In general:
- Damage to the optic nerve anterior to the optic chiasm causes loss of vision in the eye on the same side as the damage.
- Damage in the optic chiasm causes loss of vision laterally in both visual fields (bitemporal hemianopsia). It may occur in large pituitary adenoma.
- Damage to the optic tract posterior to the chiasm causes loss of vision in the visual field on the side opposite to the damage.
Injury to the optic nerve can be the result of congenital or inheritable problems like Leber's Hereditary Optic Neuropathy, glaucoma, trauma, toxicity, inflammation, ischemia, infection (very rarely), or compression from tumors or aneurysms. By far, the three most common injuries to the optic nerve are from glaucoma, optic neuritis (especially in those younger than 50 years of age), and anterior ischemic optic neuropathy (usually in those older than 50).
Glaucoma is a group of diseases involving loss of retinal ganglion cells causing optic neuropathy in a pattern of peripheral vision loss, initially sparing central vision.
Optic neuritis is inflammation of the optic nerve. It is associated with a number of diseases, the most notable one being multiple sclerosis.
Anterior Ischemic Optic Neuropathy is a particular type of infarct that affects patients with an anatomical predisposition and cardiovascular risk factors.
Optic nerve hypoplasia is the underdevelopment of the optic nerve causing little to no vision in the affected eye.
Ophthalmologists and optometrists can detect and diagnose some optic nerve diseases but, those sub-specialists that are neuro-ophthalmologists, are often best suited to diagnose and treat diseases of the optic nerve.
The International Foundation for Optic Nerve Diseases (IFOND) sponsors research and information on a variety of optic nerve disorders and may provide general direction.

So, first off, let me say I am brand new to this. I have been getting crash lessons from the net, reading my books and today from a gentleman that does this sort of stuff all the time. He came by to show me how to import a database and link the objects in my dwg to the database. He did a great job and I tried to follow along to his rapid fire clicking and choosing. But, I was not able to take notes along the way. So when he left, after my 10 min. lesson, I attempted to re-create the steps he took and I have hit a brick wall.
I opened my dwg, did a map import of my shp files. In the task plane, I attached my db file. I then created a link template and chose the proper column with the unique identification number. Now, (I THINK) I am supposed to "generate links". I go through that process and it says 0 files linked. I know I am forgetting something he did just before this point. My map just shows closed polygons, with no text. Most things I have found say you have to link text inside the polygons to the records. He did NOT do that. I am not sure what he did however.
When he was finished with our sample map, you could click on a line in table and it would zoom to the polygon on the map. My attempt does not do this. Help please!!!
Does your polygons have Object Data attached to them that has one field that matches one field in the database table? Did you create the OD when you imported it?
I do have object data attached and my unique number that I am trying to link form the DB file is in the object data.
philsla wrote:I do have object data attached
Before "generating links", your guru typed in _MAPOD2ASE in order to convert those embedded Object Data to Database Links, sir.
Could very well be. I will give that a try. Then, I generate the links?
Ain't no Autocad at home, so I can't remember if _MAPOD2ASE just creates links instead of _ADEGENLINK, but I think so.
Those commands were not recognized. I failed to mention I was using an old version of Map, 2007

Students Sign Pledge to Make Good Decisions on Prom Night
Posted: 8:03 PM May 4, 2012
Reporter: Mollie Lair
Principal Tom Eschbacher says this pledge began nearly 20 years ago.
Prom night can be filled with big decisions and peer pressure for students. By signing the prom pledge they promise to make good decisions.
Mainly, not driving under the influence or getting into a car with someone who has been drinking.
Former POW and Iraqi War Veteran Jessica Lynch spoke to the students. Telling them to make smart decisions and dream big dreams.
"It's important for students to make good decisions. That's what it's all about is making a difference in how you answer a question. The peer pressure thing that kids go through. I think it's important for them to understand that it's OK to say no to some things and that it's alright to let somebody else know that you don't want to bow to the pressures that they're trying to put on you," says Principal Eschbacher.
McCrady-Jones Insurance and Vaughan Funeral Home combine to pay for a limo service and dinner for six for one lucky winner.
This year's winner is senior Dean Forshey.

Seeing the Bigger Picture
By Avi Eisen During the month of Tishrei, we experience many different emotions: happiness from a new year, pleasure from things we have accomplished, sadness from things that have happened, anguish from things we have done to others and hope for the future. The haftarah for Yom Kippur Minhah reflects this high level of emotional turmoil, especially during the High Holidays. I was a counselor at Camp Ramah this past summer and one of my jobs was that of a mediator, trying to solve problems that arose between campers. Sometimes, a camper would tell me that the decisions I made were unfair and too compassionate to the other person. The haftarah reflects this type of situation through the prophet Yonah, who is sent to Nineveh to inform the people residing there of the error in their ways. Yonah expects God to demonstrate for the people of Nineveh what would happen if they sinned again. Instead, God accepts their repentance, causing Yonah to storm out of Nineveh, grieving for a population he believes has not learned.
God then explains this decision: "You took pity on the kikayon for which you did not labor, nor did you make it grow; which materialized overnight and perished overnight. And I – shall I not take pity upon Nineveh that great city, in which there are more than one hundred and twenty thousand persons who do not know their right from their left, and many beasts." Yonah grieves for a kikayon (commonly defined as a "tomato plant"), which is such a minor thing. Why should he show more grief for this plant than he did for Nineveh? We grieve for many minor things: test scores, school grades, the loss of a sports game, mistakes we have made yesterday, mistakes we have made years ago and bad hair days. Do we grieve for the innocent bystanders in Iraq who are neither American soldiers, nor Iraqi terrorists? Do we grieve for the Arabs who are neither part of the corrupt Palestinian government, nor the terrorists involved in suicide bombings? Do we grieve for the citizens of New Orleans, who have lost their livelihoods in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina? There are so many things that we complain about from day to day that we often fail to see the bigger picture. The final section of Sefer Yonah tells us to be open to the things going on around us and not to mope about our own trivial problems. We find ourselves in many situations over the course of our lives; situations we are encouraged to reflect upon during Yom Kippur. These things are never easy to do and it takes a lot of inner strength to face these situations. Yonah faces only a fraction of these challenges in the haftarah, showing us that, no matter their status, every person has fears they need to face. The greatest challenge is not just within our lives, but also within us. It is our hope that we confront our fears in order to become better people. Avi Eisen is a sophomore at Montclair State University, leaning toward a major in education. He has been to Israel four times, one time to learn Hebrew in a Kibbutz environment for five months. Avi has also been on staff at Ramah Berkshires for the past three summers, and works as an assistant to the advisor of two Kadima and USY chapters in Northern Jersey. This is Avi's first time writing for KOACH on Campus. However, he has written short essays regarding Conservative Judaism for the Shefa Conservative Activist Network. He also enjoys theater, both being involved in the production and being in the audience. [Posted 9/29/05] |

An Important Announcement from Spock's Beard:
As you may have already heard, we are going to be doing a couple of shows in SoCal in August as part of the "Bring the Prog Back" North American Tour with Sound of Contact and Jolly. We're very excited about it to say the least!
However, due to personal reasons and schedule conflicts, Ryo Okumoto will not be performing at these shows.
Spock's Beard Live in SoCal:
August 21 - The Whiskey-a-Go-Go in L.A. Buy tickets here
August 22 - Brick By Brick in San Diego. Buy tickets here.

2013 Tour T-Shirts are available!
The remaining t-shirts that we didn't sell on tour are now available here: spocksbeard.online-merchandise.ch - They will be shipped from Switzerland, so shipping charges to EU addresses will be a lot less than if they were shipped from here in the U.S. We also have some SB stickers, and the Limited Edition of "X" and "Brief Nocturnes and Dreamless Sleep" available there too, so if you live in Europe, this would be the place to order to save money on shipping. The one big limitation - this is an EU-only merch page...people with addresses outside the EU cannot order. Sorry!!! Maybe if there is enough interest from outside the EU we can press a small batch of tour t-shirts here in the U.S. (Or maybe you know somebody in the EU that can order one for you and then mail it to you.) Supplies are limited, so if you want one, act soon! (no Men's Medium left in stock. Most other sizes including Women's cut shirts are available.
(Tour dates are listed on the back of the Men's t-shirts, no tour dates on the Women's t-shirts)
The Spock's Beard Facebook page has more videos, pics, etc. and is updated several times a week. If you haven't been there, go there and click like!
