- Great food & Great Servicefredh5062Dined on 8/31/2014As the topic line states, my wife and I enjoyed a pleasant dinner at Atria's - Peters location. This location is the best Atria's in our opinion. It is a relaxed dining room experience. The food was excellent and the service was friendly and efficient. My wife had the dinner salad (poppy seed dressing is great) with coconut shrimp and I had the chicken parm and the same salad and dressing. Both meals were great. The wine was reasonably priced and very good. The food was delivered quickly, but the waitress did not seem in a hurry to get us out of the restaurant. I hear that the desserts are great, but due to the size of the dinner portions, we rarely have room for dessert!Special Features:
- A great place to dineLoveitDined on 8/31/2014One of our regular places to dine. The wait staff are wonderful and the food delicious.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Very Good / not enoughOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 8/23/2014The food was very good. However, I thought there was not enough of it for the higher than moderate price. 3 stuffed shrimp for 20. bucks! At least use bigger than 30-40 shrimp if you only want to serve 3. The BBQ pork loin and potato pancake was wonderful... again, way to much potato and not enough pork.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- nice outdoor ambiancekadzDined on 8/14/2014We ate on the patio on a Thursday night at 6:45. The patio ambiance is cozy and the weather on that late summer evening ideal. Our service was excellent. On. Thursdays their martinis are $5. The bar and patio crowd are a few families and a lot of 40-60 couples and groups of friends. Our food presentation was great, but my stuffed shrimp serving size very skimpy. $20 for 3 stuffed shrimp is not a good value, however they were tasty. Towards the end of our dinner the evening entertainment arrived which wasa dj set up a few feet from our table. He quickly moved from light listening to top 40 hip hop music which did not seem to fit the crowd. Luckily we were on our way out as he was ramping up his club music.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Anniversary specialFritesLoverDined on 8/14/2014We ate at Atria's for our 48th anniversary. The food was very good and the service was great. The crab bisque was very tasty. We enjoyed the evening there and plan to return.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Good fooddinnerguestDined on 8/9/2014The food is great. Pot roast Nachos are worth going for by themselves. Servers seemed confused and we had to ask for a lot of things. Not up to normal standards! 😔Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Best service in TownluvdurfoodDined on 8/2/2014This is the second Atria's we have eaten dinner at.. It is farther from our home than Pleasant Hills, but was worth the extra drive. The restaurant was brighter and more welcoming. I didn't feel like I was at the bar. The service is the best we have had anywhere for about 2 years. We will definitly be returning to here.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Fantastic hospitality!4GoodEatsDined on 7/29/2014The service is excellent! The food was good! Very attentive and offered great advice.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Nice outdoor diningSchoDined on 7/20/2014Dinner was delicious, service was a little icey, and the sun was a little too hot and bright. Outdoor seating could use more shade. The food was entice me to return again.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Three wordsdinnerguestDined on 7/13/2014Pot roast nachos. They are the best!! I would recommend them to anyone going to Atrias!Special Features:
- Good food & servicecos1740VIPDined on 7/12/2014Atria's Chicken Marsala used to be the best we'd had....until they changed the recipe. To us, the new recipe just isn't as good. They will make a version close to the old recipe, but it's still not the same or quite as good. I had the Fra Diablo, which is always a good choice if you like spicy sauce. Also love their Meatloaf Stack. On this night, we sat inside and were waited on by Anita, who was very attentive and extremely pleasant. I'd ask for her again. Their outdoor seating area, though there's no great view, is typically enjoyable. It was just a little too warm for us to sit outside that night. This is still one of our favorites restaurants! Only gripe is their waiting area, which has always been too tight, especially in the winter.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Exceptional WaitervisitorDined on 7/6/2014I have been to a number of finer restaurants in various cities. The attention given to our family get together, including my 89 year old mother and 2 year old granddaughter, was among the best I have ever experienced.

- Fell in LoveMissyVIPDined on 6/15/2014Went to Atria's in Peters Township for Brunch and fell in love with this place. The food was amazing and we sat on their outside patio which was beautiful. The staff was great and the owners where part of the whole wonderful experience going table to table checking on everyone. They had a great bar and the bartender was amazing sharing her new drink creations with us. If you are looking for that place where everyone knows your name , great food, fun atmosphere and great drinks you this is the place.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- 5 Star, Knowledgeable ServiceVacommishVIPDined on 6/14/2014While traveling to the Pittsburgh area, my dad and I celebrated our Father's Day with dinner out and tickets to a local show. We landed on Atria's - a well known Pittsburgh restaurant group - for dinner. Service from moment one was outstanding. Our server was friendly and extremely well informed about the menu. His description of their entrees and specials, and Atria specialties was spot on. We were in good hands and, as one would expect, our selections were as described. We were greated by the owner, who once learning I was in from Atlanta, came over, introduced himself, and shared a sample of their one-of-kind Pot Roast Nachos. It did not disappoint! Thank you for the hospitality and great meal!Special Features:
- Atrias in PetersenergyDined on 6/13/2014The food and service were excellent. Very comfortable and enjoyable meal. Bus boys and waiters worked together to keep the table clean and drinks full. Just...EXCELLENT as always!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 5/29/2014Overall it turned out to be a fun evening. My girlfriend & I enjoyed the dancers & even took some lessons! Our only complaint was that we mad reservations last week for Thursday for 530, for outside, & when I got there, I was told we couldn't have a table til people left. We didn't get seated until 625 - not happy about that. But the rest of the party was great. We especially enjoy Rebecca's singing & try to see her whenever we can.Special Features:

When my wife and I (rarely) get a chance to go out, Atria's is always on our short-list.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Wednesday night dinnerCarolDined on 4/23/2014Food was very good. Carrot cake for dessert very good but expensive
- LOVE LOVE LINDAPappyplus1Dined on 4/16/2014My husband and I had a wonderful dinner on Easter Sunday, the food was great, as usual, the service by Anita was above excellent, she was there when we wanted something but did not hover. The presentation of the food was outstanding. We had the Easter salad with goat cheese and both loved it. Linda is the perfect hostess, talking to the guests and treating everyone like they were family. I couldn't ask for a nicer experience. Thank you Linda and Anita for making our Easter dinner great.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Saturday Evening SpecialMo3060Dined on 4/12/2014Relaxed & warm ambience. We were seated within minutes of arriving at are reservation time. Our server was attentive & quick to obtain our drinks & appetizer. Food, as usual, was hot on arrival & delicious. Can't say enough about the carrot cake!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Slow start~Great finishweekenddinerDined on 4/5/2014Seating was about 20 minutes beyond our reservation. We were offered a table in the bar which turned our to be a blessing. Even with a full bar, we were able to have a normal conversation with our friends and keep tabs on the basketball game. Food was great, service was spot on with one exception. Being in the restaurant business myself, a server should NEVER ask "shall I bring the dessert tray?". They should just bring it. We would not gave had dessert if he hadn't of brought the tray. We have dined here several times and have not been disappointed.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Saturday nightCarolDined on 3/29/2014Called on Friday to get reservation for 6 at 6. Was told no reservations available but went online sat morning and had no trouble getting one and the restaurant was not extremely busy. Aside from that food was pretty good. People were divided. One felt wedding soup was too salty another thought it was fine. Pasta from two different atrias were very different. One good the other not as good. Desserts very good. Server very nice, helpful, patient with 6 people Will go back for sureSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- I went on a Saturday withOpenTable Diner Since 2010Dined on 3/22/2014I went on a Saturday with a reservation at 8pm, and waited about 15 minutes to be seated. My waiter took my wife's and my orders in reasonable time, but our dinners took longer than what seemed normal. Salads and dinners were served by someone other than our waiter. The wine is very expensive by the glass for a 6 oz. pour. Overalll, there is no real good reason for us to return based on this visit. We had been there before and had better service, but the waiting was the same. The dining room is nice, but this visit gave us both a good reason to think about going to other restaurants where the service is more consistent and better.
- We eat at Atrias oftenBobCDined on 3/22/2014We have always enjoyed our dining experience at Atrias, whether dining outside in nice weather or in a dining room. The food is always excellent and we particularly enjoy Oktoberfest in the fall. It can get crowded and the very small foyer often cannot accommodate those waiting. I would recommend reservations.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great food but noisy2ChapsDined on 3/21/2014We enjoy dining at Atrias but this particular evening at 7 it was very noisy. This is not typically the case, but for some reason it was this time. We will still return as we love the place.Special Features:
- Great Restaurant!!CCraterDined on 3/20/2014We have been to Atria's Peters Twp 2 times in the last month and thoroughly enjoyed our meal and experience. The wait staff is particularly capable and willing to provide the best service. We are definitely putting this restaurant on our go-to list.Special Features:
- suggestionBabeDined on 3/15/2014The salmon was cooked just right. The glaze used was a little thick. I would suggest a thinner glaze with a little more taste. It would help if the glaze was applied to the rice which was a little clumpy.Special Features:
- Good fooddinnerguestDined on 3/8/2014The food was great! We did sit by the bar and it was cold there. The AC was on and it was only 40 degrees out. Would not sit by the bar again.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- In Most Respects, Another Fine MealOrenVIPDined on 3/7/2014As usual, our service from Stefan and the ambiance of Atria's were beyond compare. My chicken parmesan entree served over spaghetti, fresh warm bread, and homemade chips, were delicious. My wife's macaroni and cheese with crab was a disappointment, overpriced at $18.99 for a small portion of penne in sauce with a tiny amount of crab, a dish bearing no resemblance to the traditional version which she expected. She ordered a side chopped salad for an additional $3.49, and raved about it, the highlight of her meal. One comes to be known by the fine staff of Atria's and one's preferences noted and respected, another way in which the red carpet is put out for each guest. I was sad to learn that chicken pot pie has been removed from the menu.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- excellent presentationgrtfoodDined on 3/6/2014Our only negative was that the waitress was overloaded - one more staff on the floor would have given Atria's outstanding marks. Food was the outstanding item - taste and presentation - of the evening. Thank you Atria's.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

We chose the east side, mainly because we wanted to take in the views that only hikers would have. It's no fun if it is easily accessible. We had, however, talked about hiking up and taking the Cog down. That would have meant we'd be on the commercial, touristy side. We stuck with the east. Worst case, if ...

Ayurveda is the world's oldest holistic science of health, originating in India thousands of years ago. Maharishi Mahesh Yogi's revival of Ayurvedic knowledge—known as Maharishi Ayurveda—has helped spur worldwide scientific interest in Ayurveda and is contributing to the current trend toward more natural, holistic healthcare.
Maharishi Ayurveda is a comprehensive system of healthcare that considers mind, body, consciousness, behavior, and environment, working in harmony with standard medical treatments.
The mind plays a primary role in one's overall state of health. This is why Maharishi Ayurveda prescribes the Transcendental Meditation technique first and foremost to bring peace and balance to mind and body.
In the late 1970s, Maharishi Mahesh Yogi invited India's most renowned and experienced Ayurvedic physicians to share their knowledge with one another and integrate the best practices from their various family traditions—lineages dating back many centuries.
These master physicians of Ayurveda worked with Maharishi over many years to revive the complete understanding from the original Ayurvedic texts, including the knowledge of proper cultivation, preparation, and use of indigenous herbs. Western-trained medical doctors and researchers collaborated with these Ayurvedic experts to conduct scientific studies on the effectiveness of herbal formulations and other Ayurvedic techniques.
The result was Maharishi Ayurveda, the most comprehensive and effective system of Ayurveda—recently affirmed by the All-India Ayurveda Congress as the "authentic interpretation of Ayurveda in its complete and original form." These authentic, powerful herbal health solutions are offered by Maharishi Ayurveda Products International (MAPI).
We invite every meditator to take advantage of this all-natural approach to healthcare. To visit the Maharishi Ayurveda website and see the variety of pure and authentic Ayurvedic herbal products, please click here.

Europe is generally agreed to be the birthplace of western culture, including such legendary innovations as the democratic nation-state, football and tomato sauce.
The word Europe comes from the Greek goddess Europa, who was kidnapped by Zeus and plunked down on the island of Crete. Europa gradually changed from referring to mainland Greece until it extended finally to include Norway and Russia.
Don't be confused that Europe is called a continent without looking like an island, the way the other continents do. It's okay. The Ural mountains have steadily been there to divide Europe from Asia for the last 250 million years. Russia technically inhabits "Eurasia".
Europe is presently uniting into one political and economic zone with a common currency called the Euro. The European Union originated in 1993 and is now composed of 27 member states. Its headquarters is in Brussels, Belgium.
Do not confuse the EU with the Council of Europe, which has 47 member states and dates to 1949. These two bodies share the same flag, national anthem, and mission of integrating Europe. The headquarters of the Council are located in Strasbourg, France, and it is most famous for its European Court of Human Rights.
In spite of these two bodies, there is still no single Constitution or set of laws applying to all the countries of Europe. Debate rages over the role of the EU in regards to national sovereignty. As of January 2009, the Lisbon Treaty is the closest thing to a European Constitution, yet it has not been approved by all the EU states.

text: Steven Bosmans San Antonio, TX Steven Bosmans' mother was diagnosed with MS in 2003, leading Steven on a path to activism and community involvement after noticing the lack of awareness regarding this disease. This student from William J. Brennan High School used his extra time to talk to small groups throughout San Antonio about MS and its impact on a family. Eventually, Steven's voice reached far beyond these small groups when he went to the mayor's office and also spoke to Texas congressmen and senators. He credits his advocacy efforts to watching his mother refuse to give in to her disease. Now, Stephen is taking a different approach to help people with MS as he pursues a degree in musical performance. The creative student hopes to create therapy through music to help ease the pain of people with MS and other neurological disorders. "If my mother was never diagnosed with multiple sclerosis, my life and aspirations would be dramatically altered and I wouldn't have the drive and inspiration I have today," Steven says.

The Bedouin vs Israel's bulldozers
As Jewish settlers move into the desert to make it 'bloom', an ancient way of life is under threat. In Alsra, Catrina Stewart speaks to Arab families on the fault line
Catrina Stewart
Friday 04 November 2011
At the top of an unmarked track leading into the small village of Alsra, in the Negev desert, somebody has placed a triangular road sign barring the entry of bulldozers. They will come, nevertheless, for every family in this village has been served with a demolition order by the Israeli authorities.
The indigenous Bedouin Arabs have eked out an existence in the desert for generations, but despite being citizens of Israel, their communities do not exist officially. Alsra, and others like it, does not appear on any official map; does not connect to any roads, and does not receive basic services from the state, such as electricity or sewage treatment.
By contrast, Jewish families have been encouraged to settle in this part of the country to make the desert "bloom" and small, gated farming communities – fully serviced with water and electricity – have sprung up close to the Bedouin villages.
For the Bedouin, however, worse is to come. Under a sweeping new proposal, dubbed the Prawer report, Israel is seeking to corral 30,000 Bedouin living in the Negev's "unrecognised" villages – some little more than tented encampments – into destitute Bedouin townships, a move that human rights groups say will not only dispossess a people of their ancestral lands but also shatter a disappearing way of life.
Those townships are some of the poorest, most overcrowded and crime-ridden communities in Israel, a far cry from the farms where the Bedouin can tend their livestock.
"It is our second naqba," says Khalil Alamour, a teacher from Alsra. Naqba is the Arabic for catastrophe and refers to the events of 1948, when hundreds of thousands of Arabs fled their homes or were driven out during fighting as the State of Israel was formed, many of them doomed to become refugees. "There will be no more Bedouin."
Although nobody knows for sure which communities will be affected, the residents of Alsra, that existed long before the creation of the Jewish state, believe it is almost certain to go.
Sitting on the shaded veranda of an attractive brick home, Mr Alamour says that this land has remained in his family's hands for generations. He produces original ownership deeds, stamped by British Mandate officials in 1921. His family paid taxes on the land until the 1950s, when Israel ceased to collect it.
But like every other house in this village, it was built without a permit, permits that are impossible to obtain in light of a 1965 planning law that ignores the existence of the Bedouin villages. The Israeli government says that it wants a solution to the unchecked spread of Bedouin communities in the Negev, with many officials viewing the Bedouin as squatters on state land.
Meeting Bedouin leaders this week, the Israeli Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, said they were facing an "historic opportunity".
"The plan will allow the Bedouin, for the first time, to realise their assets and turn them from dead capital into living capital – to receive ownership of the land, which will allow for home construction according to law and for the development of enterprises and employment," he said.
But despite a £200m sweetener that accompanies the plan, the Bedouin are incensed that such an important decision has been made without consulting them. "The Bedouin are not against a plan... but the issue is to consult with them and see what their needs are," says Mansour Nsasra, an Israeli Bedouin researching his PhD at Exeter University.
Moving them to townships, he says, "is not a solution".
The Prawer plan envisages a five-year implementation, where Bedouin will be compensated for up to 50 per cent of their land claims. But swathes of Bedouin internally displaced in the 1950s will be ineligible, while those who hope to receive compensation must not only agree to evacuate their lands but also meet complicated criteria, meaning that the eventual payout will be much less, according to Israel's Association for Civil Rights.
Some 160,000 Bedouin live in the Negev, a people whose plight is generally forgotten in the context of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Today, they live on 5 per cent of the Negev, roughly half of them in designated towns; the remainder in 45 villages, 35 of which are still unrecognised and receive no services from the state.Every Bedouin has closely followed the fate of Al Araqib, an hour's drive away from Alsyra, which has been destroyed 29 times by Israeli soldiers in the past year. The villagers return every time to rebuild, only for the soldiers to knock it down again to make way for the planting of a new forest. Many fear that what is happening in Al Araqib is a "dry run" for the expulsion of Bedouin who resist in other communities. Mr Alamour faces far more than just losing his home if the government's proposals come to fruition. "My only ambition is to maintain my lifestyle, my traditions and values," the teacher says. "This is what I will lose if they transfer my family to the townships."
In the 1970s, Israel built seven designated towns for the Bedouin in the Negev, persuading thousands of Arabs to move through a mixture of force and inducements. Rahat is the largest of these, home to 53,000 people. It is also one of the poorest cities in Israel, with a soaring birthrate, 37 per cent unemployment and 50 per cent of its residents living below the poverty line by the most conservative estimates.
In his office, Rahat's mayor is feeling particularly gloomy. He looks at the map behind his desk of the densely populated city and asks nobody in particular where a new influx of Bedouin can go. "It will create a new intifada in the Naqab [Negev]. It is impossible to transfer 30,000 people," Faiz Abu Sahiban says. "We tell them: 'Stay where you are and ask for your rights'."
Outside the municipality, several Bedouin youths are haring around a parking lot in a souped-up Toyota, a reminder of the lack of opportunity and jobs facing many of the city's residents today. The city has suffered from chronic underinvestment. Rahat receives an annual budget of 153 million shekels (£26.4m) from the Israeli government, less than half of the 380m shekels (£65.7m) that goes to Kiryat Gat, a nearby Jewish town roughly equivalent in size, according to the municipality. If Rahat agrees to take in 3,000 Bedouin living in villages on its immediate outskirts, the Israeli government will give it 100,000 shekels (£17,300) for each one, Mr Abu Sahiban says. "It is a bribe for the city. They refuse to develop [Rahat] until we accept the offer."
Speaking to local residents, there is a sense of hopelessness in this city and the Bedouin are unconvinced that the government has their best interests at heart. The uprooting of the Bedouin in the 1970s was a "huge failure", says Naif al-Tlalka, 65, a resident of Rahat who moved to the city in 1981 when his family was forced from their homes for a second time after being driven off their land in the western Negev in the 1950s.
"We used to laugh at the people who lived in these conditions. We used to say they lived in boxes," he says with a wry smile, as he fondly watches his many grandchildren playing in the yard.
"How I wish I could go back to a time before, where I could hear the sound of the wind, the birds and the animals and smell the clean air."
Desert dwellers
* The Bedouin are traditionally desert dwellers, who until the past 50 years or so lived nomadic or semi-nomadic lives in some of the harshest environments known to man.
* They are scattered across the Middle East, from Saudi Arabia to Syria to Israel, and have been described as the "true wanderers" of the desert.
* In times past, the Bedouin lived in tents, the camel their workhorse, as they roamed the desert, moving from pasture to pasture, unhindered by the lack of artificial national boundaries that have hemmed in the Bedouin the last century or so.
* Famed for their desert hospitality, they would feed and water a visitor for three days and extend protection to them for a further three days.
* To varying degrees, the Bedouin have seen their traditional nomadic and pastoral traditions disappear, as creeping urbanisation, drought and government policy have guided them towards a more settled and conventional life.
* When Wilfred Thesiger, the explorer, wrote about the Bedouin in the Arabian Empty Quarter in the 1940s and 1950s, he believed that he was recording a dying way of life.
Indeed, the warring and raiding by the different tribes that he so memorably described is now a thing of the distant past and the camel has long been replaced by the motor car. While many Bedouin still live in tents across the Middle East, many others have settled in permanent, mostly agricultural communities, their homes made of brick or mortar.
* In the Negev desert, the Bedouin are typically engaged in farming goats and sheep. Pre-1948, 90,000 Bedouin lived in Palestine. Only 11,000 remained after the new state was formed, the remainder having either fled or been driven out during fighting.

Romney flip-flops on FEMA
Original post made by flip flop on Oct 30, 2012
Fact check: exactly what did Romney say about FEMA: Web Link
After a week of denials by Romney leading up to the hurricane, Romney is now saying that FEMA is a vital Federal government program. Is a flip-flopper like this someone we want to lead our nation? What program will he cut at the beginning of his term, then find out we really needed later when an emergency occurs?

Someday I Will Transcend the Fear
I am afraid.
I am afraid of the rockets. I am afraid they will come in the middle of the night and, defying the millions-to-one odds, murder my children in their sleep. When the sirens wail, I race to grab them from their beds and flee toward shelter.
I am afraid to drive through East Jerusalem and the West Bank right now. I have a friend whose car windows were struck last month by rage-filled Palestinian rocks, whose baby was covered in shattered glass, who only by a miracle emerged unharmed. As we drive, I picture my children's heads smashed by stones, I imagine screaming at them to put their heads between their knees, mentally willing my husband to keep driving, keep driving.
I am afraid of the racism seeping through my fear. As I was picking up my son from school, an Arab woman sat on the steps leading down to the preschool to smoke her cigarette. I wondered if I should be suspicious, if I needed to warn someone. I eyed her bag to see if it might hold a bomb.

An easy vase of flowers for Shavuot
Posted 23 May, 2012on:
This was very popular with my Shabbat Tot group of 3 to 5 year olds this month, because it needed minimum adult intervention!
1. Glue a small coloured patty pan (cupcake liner) to the centre of a small paper doily.
2. Sticky tape a drinking straw to the back.
3. Decorate with stickers or textas if you're in the mood.
4. Insert into vases. To make an easy vase – decorate a small glass bottle with adhesive foam shapes. I buy apricot nectar in six-packs of 125ml bottles (apricot chicken, mmmmmm) and saved them up over the year. They are the perfect size to hold 3 paper flowers.
The 10 Commandments revisited
Posted 23 May, 2012on:
You can read my version of the 10 Commandments, rewritten for children, here. We did the same craft activity again this year, but I revised the printout (download it here) so that the numbers are against the text of the commandments rather than next to the names of the hebrew letters. Personally I think it looks a bit better – the kids probably didn't mind either way.
In other news: dabbing a (wet but not too soggy) teabag onto paper gives better results than wiping it over; and foam cutout stickers (something I only recently discovered) are awesome!
Sew your own toy Torah
Posted 7 May, 2012on:
I've been wanting a stuffed toy Torah for a while now, but they are not available locally, postage from overseas is expensive, and frankly I wanted something that looked more like a scroll and less like a multicoloured cartoon alien (see exhibit A). With Shavuot approaching, I decided to take the plunge and make my own. Thankfully at least one talented person has been smart enough to design their own toy Torah, and kind enough to put the instructions online. Thank you Sweet&Crunchy!!
Following her tutorial, I didn't have too much trouble putting my own home-made sewn-and-stuffed toy Torah together. I used calico (approx 30cm wide x 85cm long) for the scroll, felt for the handles (approx 8.5cm diameter for the circles), a ribbon for the belt, and some leftover fancy fabric (with scalloped edge) for the cover. I only had to unpick one major blooper, so I'm feeling quite pleased with myself!
My daughter is very happy and already making plans to carry it around shul for Simchat Torah! I am hoping to make a breastplate, yad and possibly even rimonim, but the technicalities of all that will be revealed in the fullness of time (ie after I figure it out for myself!)
When my daughter was very young, I took a photograph of her, just before Pesach, holding a box of matzah. It became an instant family tradition, and it's a great way to see how much she has grown from year to year. (Either that or matzah boxes are getting smaller!)
Last year my daughter was four, old enough to stay awake for our Passover Seder, but not quite old enough to sing the four questions, the role traditionally assigned to the youngest child. Instead, she was delighted to score what seemed to her to be the best job in the world: Chief Frog Wrangler. However, frogs alone do not constitute ten plagues, so I set about trying to concoct something visual for the other nine. And once we had the plagues, we needed someone to inflict them on. I have recently discovered that you can obtain actual figurines of Moses and Pharaoh, but not from anywhere near where we live. Thus it came to pass that Moses and Pharaoh were created from cardboard tubes and pipecleaners, and they made our Seder so much fun that we have booked them to appear again this year.
Initially this was going to be a Passover craft for my Shabbat Tot group and I found instructions for making a cardboard Moses on the internet. My first effort was decorated by my daughter, who may have been subconsciously channelling Joseph and his Technicolour Dream Coat.
So I decided to dress Moses up more elegantly, by glueing some fabric scraps to the outside of the cardboard tube rather than using paper. At this point I realised that the paper arms would not really match the new look, so I ditched them in favour of threading through a pipecleaner. I also decided I wanted a less cartoon-like face, so I used google images to search for a more realistic (?) version of Moses. This returned way too many photos of Charlton Heston, but eventually I found one of the very talented Ben Kingsley.
For Pharaoh I also wrapped fabric around a cardboard tube and inserted pipecleaner arms. For his head I attached a picture of King Tut. (I know this is actually his death mask, but seriously, how much more Pharaoh-y could you get?) The finishing touch was bending his arms so that he is "walking like an Egyptian". Personally I think he looks awesome!
So, last Seder Moses and Pharaoh battled it out, and my daughter had a great time showering down plagues of hail/locusts/frogs etc. Then a few days later I discovered she had fed him to a lego crocodile for good measure. That'll teach him to be mean to us!
I am convinced there are more ways to spell gregger/grogger/gragger than there are ways to spell Hanukkah/Chanukah! But it doesn't matter how you spell it or what it looks like, as long as it makes enough noise to drown out the name of Haman, right?
This is a cheap yet durable Purim noisemaker which is easy to make using a variety of things you can find at home.
You will need:
1. An empty plastic bottle (with lid). Small ones are easiest to hold and shake. This year we used ice tea bottles.
2. Things to put in that will make a noise. Anything goes – rice, dry lentils, uncooked pasta, buttons, craft bells… the list is endless. You don't need very much – if you look at the picture above, the amount of "rattly stuff" does not even reach the bottom of the decorative label. Rice by itself makes a soft noise which is quite pleasant, but add anything else and it sounds quite cacophonic when shaken energetically (which is the only way most 4 year olds know how to shake!) To make it fun to look at, I dyed some rice with food colouring.
(Tip from someone who has been there: don't knock over a bottle of food colouring unless you really want to do a lot of cleaning up.) Two or three drops in a small zip-lock bag of rice is plenty. If colouring pasta it helps to add a little white vinegar and to let the finished product dry on a tray, but rice will just soak up the excess moisture along with the colour.
3. Strong tape to hold the lid on the finished noisemaker (not shown on photo above), unless you want to be sweeping the contents off your floor or extracting them from the mouth of some curious toddler.
4. (Optional) Materials to decorate the outside of your noisemaker. In past years we've tied curling ribbon streamers around the neck of our plastic bottle. This year the kids decorated a strip of cardboard (preprinted with Happy Purim) and sticky-taped it to the outside of the bottle.
Then we read out our child-friendly version of the Megillat Ester, added some visuals with our Purim spoon puppets, and shook those greggers/graggers/groggers for all they were worth! It was great fun!
Here are some little designs we made up with our fuse beads (perler beads, hama beads) and the small square pegboard: two shabbat candles, a kiddush cup and challah, and the words Shabat Shalom. (I normally spell shabbat with two "b"s but that would not fit on my little pegboard.)
You can download my Shabbat patterns for fuse beads as a pdf file.
My bucket of beads came in most colours – but sadly not brown. Hence the slightly unappetising looking challah which is pink and orange as a result! I made my kiddush cup grey to resemble silver, but if I was doing this again I'd use white or yellow because the grey is quite dark. (Either that or the background needs to be a lighter colour.)
We contemplated using the fused bead squares as drinks coasters for Shabbat, but decided in the end to link them together with beading wire to make a decorative piece to hang up on a hook, or over a doorknob.

Police searching for donation jar thief
Police are searching for a man who is suspected in several recent thefts of donation jars from Milford-area gas stations. On Nov. 1, an employee at a local Speedway gas station Ś located at 105 S. Milford Road Ś reported the theft of a ChildrenÆs Miracle Network donation jar from the cashierÆs counter. Police say this is the second instance a donation jar has been stolen in the past month. The Livingston County SheriffÆs Office responded to a similar call Oct. 27. A donation jar holding an undisclosed amount of money Ś and from the same charity organization Ś was taken, as well, officials report. Video security footage shows the suspect as a white man in his 30s who is about 5-foot-11 and weighs about 175 pounds. He was wearing a longer black leather jacket over a thinner white jacket, blue jeans, a gray stocking hat and brown shoes during the Milford theft, say authorities. Anyone with information is asked to contact Milford Sgt. Scott Tarasiewicz at 248-684-1815.

About the American Museum of Natural History:
Visiting the fourth floor of the American Museum of Natural History in New York is a bit like dying and going to dinosaur heaven: there are over 600 complete or near-complete fossils of dinosaurs, pterosaurs, aquatic reptiles, and primitive mammals on display here (these are just the tip of the prehistoric iceberg, since the museum maintains a collection of over one million bones). The large exhibits are arranged "cladistically," demonstrating the evolutionary relationships of these extinct reptiles as you go from room to room.
Why does AMNH have so many fossils? This institution was at the forefront of early paleontology research, represented by such famous paleontologists as Barnum Brown and Henry F. Osborn--who ranged as far afield as Mongolia to collect dinosaur bones, and brought the best samples back to New York. For this reason, a whopping 85 percent of this museum's display skeletons are composed of real fossil material, rather than plaster casts. Some of the most impressive specimens are Lambeosaurus, T. Rex and Barosaurus, among a cast of hundreds.

We Can't Be Equal While:
Men are the default and women are the Other (and therefore lesser).
Being called "girly" or a "sissy" or "pussy" are some of the worst insults you can give a man.
When a woman shows confidence in herself, she is said to "have balls", or conversely she is a "man-eater", "ball-buster", or a "bitch" because she was "too" assertive.
Men are beat up, ridiculed, or made fun of for being "effeminate" and women are beat up, ridiculed, or made fun of for being "masculine".
Many people get angry when a woman questions the intentions behind a "chivalrous" act from a man.
There are men who refuse "chivalrous" acts from a woman, such as refusing to walk through a door that a woman holds open for them, while believing that it is rude for a woman to exercise the same right to refuse.
Women can't express anger without the very real fear of being accused of "hysterics" or being "shrill".
Women get scolded for "un-ladylike" behaviour: using coarse language, talking frankly about sex or other "impolite" topics, confidently voicing one's dissenting opinion, etc.
People continue to believe and perpetuate gender essentialism based on bad science or using actual studies to "prove" the innateness of gender roles when the study itself supports no such thing.
For different-sex couples, women are expected to take their husband's name, or at the very least hyphenate, but many men still balk at the idea of even considering adopting their wife's name. If a woman decides to keep her name, both partners are interrogated and shamed by friends and family.
For same-sex couples, people think it is okay to ask "who's the woman/man of the couple?"
Women are seen as the "gatekeepers" to morality/sexuality, charged with the duty of fending off the advances of men. If they fail then they were "asking for" it and/or are "damaged goods". Their clothing/actions will always be questioned to see if they were "leading on" the man at all.
Men are seen as "beasts" who are unable to control their "raging hormones" – which absolves them of guilt for "improper" sex (anything from date rape to sex outside of marriage) but also paints them as uncivilized brutes.
Women are "sluts", men are "players".
Women's worth goes down according to how many sexual partners people think she has had.
Men's worth goes up according to how many sexual partners people think he has had.
We live in a rape culture where many people continue to blame the victims of rape and domestic violence.
We buy into the myth that all men (even minors) are, at all times, willing to fuck a "gorgeous" woman and any man who would pass up sex with a remotely attractive woman is deserving of ridicule.
Wives/mothers are still expected to do most of the home/childcare, even if they have a job outside the home.
Fathers/husbands are seen as bumbling dolts who are mentally incapable of cooking, cleaning, taking care of the children, or any other traditionally feminine task.
There are significantly more stay-at-home moms than there are dads.
Men are expected to pay on a date, and some men expect women to put out for this "service".

Helping People and Organizations Manage Change August 2014 Update
Speech Evaluation Comment
"That fellow who spoke at Rotary was something! That was not the first time he has been to a hospital and he really knows what he's talking about!"
The Trust Dimension
The Trust Dimension is about decisions we have to make by ourselves or decisions we make when we think no one is looking.
It describes the requirements for trust, challenges to building trust and ways we can develop or destroy trust
Available at www.amazon.com.
Reader Reviews/Comments:
'Good read'
Senior Bank Executive
The Westrend Group web page is designed to help clients, colleagues and visitors by providing articles, podcasts and book suggestions that will help them effectively manage change.
The August Westrend Group Update focuses on issues related to change and organizational performance.
The Articles include a piece from the Harvard Business Review on how AFLAC's chief executive "learned to love the duck." It is a wonderful description of testing and embracing ideas that may have initially seemed bizarre. The McKinsey article on "10 Tips for Leading Companies Out of Crisis" has helpful suggestions for every executive. While none of our clients are in "crisis," all organizations can benefit from considering additional ways to improve performance. Arthur Schopenhauer's "38 Ways to Win an Argument" identifies specific ways we use and abuse language – making it harder to be effective and accomplish what we are trying to do. All of us know people who tactics Schopenhauer describes.
Finally, the slide show "100 Years of Change" is a wonderful summary of how things have changed over the last hundred years – and a reminder that all executives and managers deal with change on an ongoing basis.
There are two Podcasts. The first is a TED presentation by Nicholas Negroponte in which he summarizes developments in technology over the last 30 years. It is a summary of the work he and others have done at the MIT Media Lab and contains particularly insightful lessons – one specifically on MIT's lost opportunity to develop navigation services for cars. My own podcast focuses on organizational performance and why executive and management expectations play a major role in determining the extent to which organizations improve operations.
Finally, there are two Books. The first is Frederick Herzberg's The Motivation to Work. Herzberg's research has been the basis for which much of the work on employee motivation over the last 50 years. Academics, consultants and business writers, consciously or unconsciously, have all drawn on Hirschberg's seminal research. The second book is Andre Compte-Sponville's A Small Treatise on Great Virtues. I thought this would be valuable because most organizational difficulties in politics finance, real estate and almost every other field have had more to do with personal values rather than technical expertise.

What to do after the trees are removed?
Thanks in advance.
I know there are products that you can use to kill a stump if you're NOT grinding them. But I don't know if they can be used in conjunction w/grinding. My only question is that in your situation, you'll be burying the stump. And in doing that, you 'cover' it up, and I don't know if covering them will affect the Stump Killer's effectiveness.
I'd go to a Landscaping or Nursery Retailer and read up on what's on the box. If the info about burying the stump isn't on it, I'd 1) ask the Retailer, and 2) also ctc. the Mfgr. too just to be sure. (I guess you could just do #2 but I wouldn't OPEN the box until you hear from the Mfgr.)
Maybe someone else has a more definite answer. My best to ya and hope this helps.

I haven't written about New Zealand at all, mainly because I've been having the best time ever so haven't had any time to, so here goes: I arrived in Auckland to a massive temperature shock, I'd gone from nearly 40•C to around 5! In the airport a massive security man came up to me and started grilling me about where I was staying, if I knew …

The only fact of the day I remember is that Lake Taupo can fit the whole of Singapore in it. The rest is a blur. Before I had chance to blink my name was put down to do the skydive. Next thing I knew I was debating whether to do the 12000ft or 16000ft as if my life depended on it. Bottom line is falling out if a plane is falling out of a plane. …

This hostel was alright. The room was fine but the beds were really rickety and noisy every time you moved in them. The kitchen is big but has no appliances. It has hobs but no ovens. It does however have a really nice sun deck off from the kitchen with nice views of the lake.
The worst thing about this hostel is the noise. It is over the road from a really cheesy, crap nightclub playing horrible music. The windows let all the noise through, the hostel seriously needs to invest in some sound proofing! If you have any taste in music or any desire to sleep before 5am, think twice about staying here.
