Now how about a lovely castmember thread?
We've been hearing all about the rude castmembers below, and one CM commented that she rarely hears people talking about the all good castmembers they encounter. So, why don't we correct that?
Share a story about a castmember who made your day a little more magical! I don't mean necessarily castmembers who went above and beyond (though everyone loves a story like that!), even just ordinary castmember stories will do. I'll get us started. It's hard to pick just one, but I like this one because it speaks to the professionalism of Disney castmembers in general... Last May, not realizing it was against the rules, my husband and I thought we'd hit the jackpot in securing two little box seats to sit on and watch the parade from, in Frontierland. We sat comfortably for a few minutes, along with a whole lot of other folks just like us, and then a young lady came up to tell us that we couldn't sit on the boxes. In fact, she had to collect them all and put them away, because it wasn't safe to leave them out after all the lights were turned off. People might trip over them. She was nice enough about it, and when she noticed us looking at everyone else sitting on their boxes, she said, "Oh, don't worry, I'll get to them!" So, she puts our boxes away, and we settled in to stand. We saw her go and speak to a gentleman and his family who are sitting on boxes eating. Then, she came back to us and said, "I'm just going to let them finish eating. But trust me, they won't be sitting when the parade comes through!" So, we wait. The gentleman and his family eat slower and slower. The parade time is approaching fast. She goes and speaks to him again. He shakes his head and continues sitting, now just picking at his food. Some of his family are just holding their food on their laps, not even touching it. The castmember has a powwow with several other castmembers across the street. They're all staring at this one gentleman on his box, with his food, who clearly thinks he's found a loophole in the system. Finally, the castmember approaches him, with a male castmember in tow. This time, she doesn't back down. She insists. The male castmember stands behind her with his arms crossed. Finally, the mother seems to crack. She stands up. Immediately the male castmember whisks her box away from behind her. And then in short order, all the boxes are gone, and the family is standing there, looking deeply irritated, holding their plates of food in their hands. I was impressed on several levels. One, she was always polite, even in the face of opposition. Two, she conferred with her coworkers, and knew when to call in back up. Three, she persisted, when it might have been easier to just let things go. And four, she knew to keep the rest of us updated, so that we wouldn't get resentful and think the other guy was "getting away with something" or that we were being unfairly picked on. Now, that's customer service! And man, that family was just one of many irritations she and her fellow castmembers had to face that evening! When they tried to usher people across the street, keeping it clear for the parade, people kept stopping to argue with them. The parade was even visible in the distance, and we saw people ducking around the castmembers to run up the street straight at it! My conclusion? Guests can be idiots. Castmembers are saints. What's your story? |

On one of my trips we were coming out of Epcot and just missed a crowded monorail. The attendant CM (a very nice older gentleman) came over and talked to us for quite some time. When the next monorail was approaching he said we deserved a treat and gave us all Monorail Co-Pilot licenses and we got to ride up front with the driver. I still have my license 15 years later. I keep it in my wallet.
It's hard to count the number of times a CM made a trip a bit more magical.
Aww...no ticker for me.

I've had plenty of pleasant cast member experiences. On my most recent trip I went to eat at Yak and Yeti for the 1st time and my waiter was one of the most enjoyable people I have ever met. He kept me laughing the entire time.

I got an AP last month & have been bummed that because of the media upgrade I could not gain access to the AP website . Well yesterday a.m. I was reading a thread I subscribe to called "AP Discount" & Houstonmama (thank you so very much) posted a contact number to call the IT Dept at Disney to set up access.
I called yesterday am & spoke with a CM named Haskle in IT who was awesome (I took phone survey & then went online & did online survey to say how great she was). It took about 35-40 mins with her having to put me on hold a lot (I did not mind one bit, lots of great Disney music!), but I now have access! She ended having to have me go through old website & then i was assigned a new code instead of one on my AP card. I now can look up AP room availability! This is so exciting ! Cm Haskle was very sweet & funny, she was joking around with me & I loved it! She seemed genuinely surprised by all of my praise, she just didnt know how happy she made me! Fyi- In case youre having the same problem- The Disney IT contact number is (407) 939-7765. |

The best CM interaction we ever had was at MK. My son was 5 at the time and a HUUUUUGE fan of Toy Story. We waited in line near Splash Mountain to Meet Woody and Jessie and my son was beside himself! He had the Woody styled Mickey ears on and had his autograph book. He went up to meet them when it was his turn and they made a big fuss over his ears. The CM that was there came over and asked me if I thought my son would like them to autograph his ears for him. I said that he would love it and the CM went and rustled up a sharpie and they signed his ears. Those ears are now in a trophy type case because he is SO proud of them! It was such a small thing, but it did and still does mean a lot to my son and myself!

Definitely soooo many awesome CM's out there, it's hard to narrow it down.
I'll go with the time we were at MK, it was myself, my Dad and my older 2 children who were probaly 4 & 5 at the time. The day was a bit cloudy here and there and looked like there might be a storm rolling in soon, we were getting ready to get in our cars at Tomorrowland Speedway when it started sprinkling but thought eh, we'll ride real quick and then head inside. Dumb idea...not 30 seconds later it opened up and POURED!!! Of course there was nothing you could do but keep going until you got back to the start. Ugh! We left there and headed for Main Street to head back to the resort to change...we ducked in the stores to finish waiting it out, although we were already soaked, so it didn't really matter. DS was shivering and miserable because we were soaked all the way through, a wonderful young CM chatted him up for a bit and then insisted he needed something to wait a minute for her. She went backstage and came back with a brand new sweatshirt for him. She was wonderful and made his day as well as mine!

I don't think I have ever had a bad interaction with a CM. I do have my favorites though. And I have let Disney know about them.
We met Will a few years ago when he was in the college program. I was carrying some stuff that I just didn't want to carry anymore (seeds and stuff from the Tinkerbell table during F&G one year) and asked if I could have it sent back to our room. He learned how to do it but I noticed that he was from a college very close to my home town and we struck up conversation. A few days later we kept bumping into him at HS on his day off. We have run into him on ever trip since first meeting him. He remembers us each and every time no matter what park he was working in. Last time he danced with our new DD at the Stitch party in MK. Love Will! |

I can think of so many great cast members that have sprinkled magic on our trips. Chef Mandy at Jiko who showed us such care that the table next to us thought we were VIPs, Gary from Indiana who skipped arm and arm down Main Street singing Gary, Indiana with me and a friend to show us the best parade viewing spot, and so many more. One has always stuck out for DH and I though and that was Leonard.
Leonard worked at AKL in 2002 with the valet and bell services. He was the first person we met when arriving for our first stay at what was to become our favorite resort. He was so sweet as he brought us inside with our luggage and I will never forget him saying "Pretty awesome, huh?" when we walked in the lobby and gasped. We saw him so many time over the trip and he always inquired how our trip was going and what we were up to that day. On the night of our V&A reservation for our anniversary dinner, he saw us come out all dolled up and requesting a cab. He took one look at us and said, "Not for my favorite couple, wait right here." Just a few minutes later he was back with the resort van and took us straight to GF. Despite seeing hundreds of people a day, he always made us feel special. He was the epitome of a wonderful cast member, and truly made our trip more memorable. I hope if he is still with the company he has been well taken care of.

CMs are the reason WDW has magic!
When DS was small he carried with him everywhere a teddy bear we called Beary. On a split stay we went from CSR to Poly and in getting packed up and moved Beary "hid" somewhere in the CSR room and got left behind. As soon as we realized he was missing we notified the front desk at both CSR and Poly hoping he would be found. We went on to a park after checking in to Poly and when we returned to our room we found Beary on the bed "watching" cartoons. I'm sure his return was the collaboration of more than one CM from front desk, to mousekeeper, and perhaps luggage services. All for one little boy to sleep sound that night-thank goodness for those CMs!!!

Recently, an entertainment CM heard that a guest with a terminal illness, who wanted to make lasting memories for his family, would be visiting the parks. The CM purchased two autograph books for the guest's two children and filled them with autographs from the Fantasmic cast. After a Fantasmic show, the characters came out to meet the family and present the autograph books. Even though the CM had never met the family, the guest asked Minnie to relay his thanks to the CM. The CM was thrilled to be thanked and appreciated the recognition!

I just called, and the wonderful gentleman on the phone was able to find a work around solution that allows me to view the current passholder offers, despite not having My Disney Experience. All I have to do (for now) is log in using my username (not my e-mail, because my husband's account shares the same e-mail), click on "Update Profile", click on "Add or Renew a WDW Pass", and then on the righthand side is a little box with Donald Duck that says "Access Passholder Offers", and I'm IN! It's a few extra steps, and he apologized for not being able to just click on "Passholder" at the top of the page, but I don't care. I made sure to do the phone survey after and give him all "1"s. (Also, he was very concerned that I was calling long distance and might be racking up a big bill, but I was able to put his mind at ease by telling him about the 10 10 710 code that allows many Canadians to call anywhere for a flat rate of less than a dollar. Love it!) |

Patrick, a server at Garden Grill really stood out to us earlier this month.
When we were seated, he greeted us right away and then busted out his own rendition of Be Our Guest changing up the words to let us know what would be on the menu, how the food was served, and which characters would be greeting us. Because we had been to the restaurant before, and the most recent time was just 6 months prior to this visit, he told us he wanted to keep things new and fresh for us. Along with the standard steak, fish, and turkey, he brought out all of the kid dishes, as well. We had a delightful chicken, tasty mac and cheese, and delicious sweet potato fries. Nice, huh? Patrick wasn't done, though. The table behind us was celebrating a birthday. He decided to sing a song to the little boy to celebrate his birthday. Did he sing Happy Birthday? Heck no! That's too ordinary for Patrick. He sang Never Had a Friend Like Me but again, changed up the lyrics so that he was wishing the boy a happy birthday. The table next to us was celebrating an anniversary. He sang Bella Notte to them with a few words changed up to personalize it. I was impressed... and had a challenge for him. In a rather joking manner, I told him that we were celebrating my husband's PhD and I wondered if he had a song for just such an occasion. I can barely get the words out because he starts singing Zip-a-dee-doo-dah with words changed just for my husband and his PhD in Mechanical Engineering. How does that even happen? We just sat there with our eyes wide. He was an absolutely fantastic waiter and we had to notify the manager that he had someone truly special working for him. |
When I drink I find its easier to watch my children because I see all 3 of them double, so all 6 of them of them take all my attention

I don't have any personal stories, but I see plenty of CMs on this site helping and providing info to all of us to make sure our trips are magical.
Having said that, after reading some of the things on the DIS, it doesn't surprise me that some people find they encounter a horrible CM. Sometimes it is the CM, but sometimes that person is just hard to please |

Questions to ask before you set foot in the door
To save all those $150 consultation fees, get as much information as you can over the phone by asking certain plastic surgery questions and narrow your list to one or two doctors. Tell the person who takes your call that you'd like to speak to someone about wrinkle fillers--there's often a designated spokesperson who answers prospective patients' plastic surgery questions and discusses fees.
QUESTION Is the doctor who will be doing the injections board certified in dermatology, ophthalmology, plastic surgery, otolaryngology, or head and neck surgery? With what hospital is he or she affiliated? WHAT YOU WANT TO HEAR Yes. Make sure you get specifics--you don't want a board-certified OB/GYN doing your cosmetic procedure. He or she should be affiliated with a hospital you know. A professional medical society, such as the American Academy of Dermatology (www.aad.org), will confirm if the doctor is a member.
QUESTION How long has the doctor been doing facial injections? WHAT YOU WANT TO HEAR At least 2 to 3 years.
QUESTION Are injectables a major part of the doctor's practice? WHAT YOU WANT TO HEAR She does them every day. A doctor who does fillers only 1 day a week probably doesn't have a big cosmetic and plastic surgery practice.
QUESTION What kind of fillers does the doctor use? WHAT YOU WANT TO HEAR She uses a variety of materials. This indicates that she is not limited and that different options are available to use alone or in combination.
QUESTION Will I be able to see before and after pictures of the doctor's work when I come in for a consultation? WHAT YOU WANT TO HEAR Yes. This is the best way to ensure that a doctor's aesthetic sense matches yours.

Count me in with the reasonably impressed crowd. The Forte is a bit rough around the edges, but offers a whole lot of value and feature content for a very reasonable price.
Much has been said about the Kia's derivative styling, but up close and in person, it's a handsome sedan - better looking, I daresay, than the Honda Civic it's clearly aping. The interior is likewise a strong effort, with nicely grained plastics and lots of impressive standard features like Bluetooth and an iPod connector.
Neither does the Forte embarrass itself on the road. In everyday driving, it impresses with lots of usable power and accurate, decently weighted steering. Ride quality was on par with other compact cars I've driven recently. As others have noted, it lacks the polish of a Civic or a Mazda 3, particularly in its throttle calibration, and I'll admit I stalled it once as I tried to cope with the slow-to-rev engine and vague clutch takeup. I suspect the available five-speed automatic will better showcase the engine's low-end torque.
Would I take the Forte over a Civic? Probably not. But Rome wasn't built in a day. The Forte, along with the Soul, takes Kia out of the bargain basement and into the realm of solid competitors. And I can imagine some nonenthusiasts will be tempted away from the class leaders by the Forte's plethora of features. The ten-year warranty doesn't hurt either. My semi-endorsement does come with a disclaimer, however. Our particular Forte exhibited an obnoxious interior squeak, one that would call for a trip to the dealer. Given that press cars are often early-production units and live generally tortured existences, I'd be willing to guess this is an unusual occurrence. If this issue shows up on more cars, though, it would be a deal breaker.

Tag Archives: Statistics"Outing" Celebrity Jews as JewsWe've seen these articles before, or heard the rumblings from co-workers or friends. "Did you hear that [famous person] is Jewish?" In our own celebrity column, the famous are "outed" as having Jewish ancestors on a fairly regular basis. Every time another celebrity is surprised with the news that they're Jewish — Madeleine Albright, Senator George Allen, playwright Tom Stoppard, John Kerry (on his father's side) — the same series of perplexed shrugs ripple through the media. Did they really never know? What made the Jewish parent turn away? Anyway, what's the difference? Are you Jewish if you never practiced Judaism? And why is this even in the newspaper? Good questions. Thanks, Jewish Daily Forward. The latest new-Jew is Ralph Branca: Ralph Branca, 85, the onetime Brooklyn Dodgers pitcher best known for throwing the most notorious homerun ball in baseball history, the "Shot Heard 'Round the World," which lost his team the 1951 National League pennant to the New York Giants. A lifelong Catholic, he learned of his mother's Jewish origins earlier this summer from a journalist who then turned it into a 1,900-word front-page story in the August 15 New York Times. The usual reactions followed: What is he now, a Jewish athlete? Why does anyone care? And why 1,900 words of this trivia in the world's leading newspaper? J.J. Goldberg, who wrote Joining the Tribe Late in Life: The Ever-Widening Circle of Celebrity Jews in the Forward, suggests that there are other questions that should be asked, but never are: Why are there so many such cases? If there are this many among the famous (and this list is very partial), how many more are there who aren't famous? How many never find out because they're not famous enough for journalists to poke through their family secrets? Are there any discernable [sic] patterns? Is anyone's life changed afterward? Can we — should we — learn anything about Jewish life from these dramas? There are some answers in the article, if you want to click on over. But I think the other unasked question, of relevance to readers of InterfaithFamily.com, is: if celebrities or other famous people are so readily declared Jews, after their parents turned away from Judaism, or after a couple generations have not practiced Judaism or even known they were Jewish, why aren't the same standards applied to the rest of us, the non-famous? If Celebrity X can be proclaimed Jewish in the media, a couple generations after their last relative practiced Judaism or identified as a Jew, why can't Regular Citizen Y get the same treatment? Why are so many descendants of interfaith families struggling to have their Jewish identities acknowledged by the community, when the press seems so willing to hand it over to athletes, politicians and actors? Goldberg concludes, What does all this mean? Heaven only knows. And precisely because Heaven only knows, we shouldn't expect to find all the answers. The best we can do is to keep our minds and hearts open and leave the welcome mat out for wandering kinfolk who find their way home. I would suggest instead, "The best we can do is to keep our minds and hearts open and leave the welcome mat out for those already in our midst and for wandering kinfolk who find their way home." Birthright and IntermarriageAn article hit the internet today that's sure to ruffle some feathers. Written by Kiera Feldman, a "baptized child of intermarriage" who went on a Birthright trip in February of 2010, the article, "Operation Birthright," supported by The Investigative Fund at The Nation Institute and appearing in this week's Nation magazine, examines the mission of Birthright trips. Of relevance to our readers are the discussions about Birthright's creation, with goals that included ending (combating?) intermarriage. The story of Birthright begins with the 1990 National Jewish Population Survey. The findings unleashed a panic within the halls of American Jewish institutions: 52 percent of Jews were marrying outside the faith. Steinhardt, a legendary hedge-fund manager, was among the Jewish community leaders who rallied to confront what soon became known as the "crisis of continuity," characterized not only by intermarriage but by the weakening of Jewish communal ties such as synagogue membership and a waning attachment to Israel. A Goldwater Republican turned chair of the Democratic Leadership Council, Steinhardt wanted to make Jewish institutions more appealing to the young. He enlisted Yitz Greenberg, a well-known Orthodox rabbi and educator, as director of the foundation that would incubate Birthright. Reflecting on that 1990 survey some years later, Greenberg said, "I felt I'd been asleep at the switch as this disaster was coming." Birthright trips, he hoped, would shore up a social order in decline. The originator of the Birthright idea was Yossi Beilin, a Labor Party stalwart and an instrumental figure in the Oslo Accords. Widely considered an archliberal and reviled by Israel's right, Beilin is an unlikely figure to boast the moniker "godfather of Birthright." In a recent phone interview, Beilin compared his worries about intermarriage and Jewish identity to "the personal feeling of an old man who wants to see that his family is still around." Among Beilin's top goals for Birthright: "to create a situation whereby spouses are available." An ardent Zionist and longtime friend of Bronfman, Beilin unsuccessfully pitched Birthright to him and Steinhardt in the mid-1990s. Have you been on Birthright? What do you think? Hodge Podge!There's been a lot of talk, of late, about intermarriage, interfaith Jews and the eternal "who is a Jew" debate. Some of it was spurred by the attack on Rep. Giffords, and the Jewish community's near unanimous response that, yes, she is Jewish. (See, for example, Julie Wiener's recent column in The Jewish Week, Is Anyone Jewish Enough?) But that wasn't the only source of news this week. So cuddle up with a mug of hot cocoa, stay warm and watch the snowstorms move in while you read another hodge podge: An article in the Jewish Exponent looked at bullying in the Jewish community, specifically in Jewish schools. Even if violence is minimal, day school students said that doesn't make the emotional or mental abuse any easier to bear. Read more from Taking Bullying by the Horns to see how the problem is being addressed. Meanwhile, the religion blog in the National Post, a Canadian newspaper, linked to a story on Intermarriage, the law of return and the modern Israeli state. It might be interesting to you to read some of the proposals Israel has for dealing with intermarriage, people who are "Jewish enough" to move to Israel but not "Jewish enough" to be considered Jewish for marriage. (I will add the disclaimer that when I read the line, "One brave exception is Rabbi Haim Amsalem, a member of the Knesset from the Shas political party." I had to fight the urge to stop reading…) Now, I wouldn't normally share an article (Matchmaker, Matchmaker, Make Me a Match) that boasts an OU (Orthodox Union) approved dating site, but I how else would I have learned about intermarriage statistics for the Jewish Deaf community? In the past, the rate of intermarriage among the deaf was close to 60%. Another article looking at the "who's a Jew" question in Israel focuses instead on Y.B., a 23-year-old would-be convert to Judaism (he was raised Jewish, has a non-Jewish mother) who is gay. The soldier's experience highlights the plight that gay would-be converts to Judaism face in Israel: Because there is no separation of state and religion, and the state religion is regulated by the Orthodox-controlled Chief Rabbinate, it is practically impossible for an openly gay person to convert to Judaism. Under Orthodox Jewish law, a would-be convert who rejects a tenet of the Torah — in this case, the prohibition against homosexual intercourse — cannot join the faith. And: An IDF spokesman denied that Y.B. was expelled from the course because he is gay. Soldier's story highlights plight facing gay would-be converts in Israel is an interesting read. It made me wonder if there are other cases of soldiers being ousted from converting for not following one of the commandments. Have people been ousted for carrying outside an eruv on Shabbat? For wearing shatnez (fabric containing both wool and linen)? So that's some food for thought… Let us know what you think! Outdated and Offensive ViewsYou might be wondering how much mileage we can get from Ed's session at the GA. Ed recently blogged about it, and we've told you about the video of his session. But there's just so much to say… And we're not the only ones who think so. In her latest Jewish Week column, Steven M. Cohen Promotes "Meaningless Jewish Associations", Julie Wiener looks at the arguments against intermarriage. And, specifically, how outdated (and "offensive") the arguments are. Click on over, it's worth the read. The bottom line? The message to Jews should not be a "just say no" approach to intermarriage. Rather, recognize that the point is for Jews to marry someone who "is supportive of them living a full Jewish life and raising Jewish children," whether they are Jewish or not. Representing Interfaith Families at the GAIf you're like me, the closest you got to the General Assembly in New Orleans was your twitter feed. I knew when our CEO, Ed Case, took the stage because the tweets became about interfaith families. Great! So if you're curious to hear what was said about interfaith families, interfaith inclusion, at the largest gathering of the North American Jewish community, look no further. We have a copy of Ed's remarks here, just for you. Let us know what you think! One Way to Get It Right and a signal boostHow great to see another model of Jewish-Catholic intermarriage in a Chicago newspaper. Alexa Aguilar's piece, Two Faiths Can Join To Make a Happy Family in the Chicago Tribune today, provides a welcome contrast to the debacle of the Reyes case, in which a divorcing couple fought over their child's religious practice. Aguilar writes: I really liked the subtitle at the top of the webpage: "Interfaith marriage: One way to get it right." Because there is more than one way to get it right, just as there are so many ways to get it wrong. Aguilar's family goes to Fox Valley Jewish Neighbors, the congregation where our frequent contributor Rachel Baruch Yackley has had a leadership role. (It's more of a I also want to boost the signal for Hila Ratzabi's project, an anthology of pieces by women in Jewish interfaith relationships. She has a blog post up about it on The Forward's The Sisterhood blog–a nifty Jewish web resource I should mention in any case. (I find the internet slang "boost the signal" oddly amusing, don't you? It sounds so technical.) Biracial Identity and the CensusI admire Adam Serwer–I follow him on Twitter and read his work on The American Prospect website. I really like what he had to say here on Barack Obama's choice to identify as black on the US Census. Obama could have chosen to identify with both sides of his family, as Serwer and others have. As you know, and I know some of you know better than I do, when you come from two backgrounds, people often ask you to choose one, even though you come from two families and at least two cultures (if not more!) The US Census doesn't ask you to do that–if you come from two or more of the racial categories the Census happens to measure, you can identify with both or all of them. Serwer writes: The question really becomes what "legacies" of the painful elements of our past do we voluntarily embrace and which ones we reject. To the extent that biracial black people identify as black, they are choosing to embrace a once-painful element of their history. It is not being forced on us. I happened to check both white and black on my census form, but that was my choice. Every mixed person has a right to tell their own story on their terms. You might as well tell Jews to stop celebrating Passover because it is part of the enduring legacy of Jewish slavery in Egypt. That's exactly what it is, but that doesn't tell you anything about its value to the culture or why it continues to endure. I have been thinking about this question–whether we're entirely shaped by the biases against us, or whether we have identity that's independent of oppression–since I read Sartre's Anti-Semite and Jew in 1987. (You know how there are some books that just shape your whole life? That was one for me.) The book made me think about my role as a person with white privilege in US society. I thought the dynamic Sartre describes between the biased person, the target of bias, and the "liberal"–a bystander who allows the targeting to happen and blames the victim–described how my society dealt with race. But at the same time, the book is about whether any cultural minority has a culture aside from what it creates in the negative space of a racist dynamic. Do Jews exist without anti-Semitism? I would say yes, we do, we have an identity and culture that is greater than simply resistance. What do you think about how to fill out the census? I mean the literal one that will count our country this year so that we can apportion resources, but there is also a metaphorical census. When you stand up to be counted, how do you select from your various identities? Does context matter? Tell me about it. Faith and MarriageDoes faith have a positive or negative effect on the marriages of interfaith couples compared to its role in same-faith marriages? A master's candidate at Northern Illinois University is comparing the roles of faith for individuals who are part of Jewish, Catholic, and interfaith couples. The researcher, Patty Fishman, is trying to determine what the positives are in an interfaith marriage. When you are finished answering the survey questions, you may enter a drawing for the chance to win one of two $50 Target gift cards. Fear of DisappearingThe Philadelphia Jewish Exponent ran a piece on the Jewish Federation of Greater Philadelphia's 2009 "Jewish Population Study of Greater Philadelphia." Apparently Philadelphia's Jewish community has a high rate of interfaith marriage and a low rate of people in those marriages deciding to raise Jewish children. In the greater Philadelphia area, 45 percent for Jews under 40 marry non-Jews with only 29 percent of intermarried couples of all ages raising their children solely as Jews. In the Philadelphia area, 60 per cent of same-faith Jewish couples affiliate with synagogues, but only 9 per cent of interfaith couples do. The community then asks two familiar questions: Can we stop Jews from marrying non-Jews, and can we simultaneously welcome interfaith families to stay in the community? The reporter talked with different leaders in the Jewish community, some who advocate doing one, and some the other. It's really difficult for people outside of our community to understand this fear, but articles like these make it clear–it's a fear of disappearing. It's also clear what direction we should take. The article quotes: Mindy Fortin, a mother of three, who's married to a Catholic man and is a former board member of the synagogue, has overseen those efforts, which have included weekly classes with the rabbi for both Jewish and non-Jewish partners in interfaith marriages. Either the Worst or the Best Thing–We ChoosePaul Golin, associate executive director at Jewish Outreach Institute, wrote an op-ed about the recent Birthright Israel study. Miriam Shaviv, a Jewish journalist across the Atlantic at the Jewish Chronicle in London, thinks Golin's statistics are "not good news"–because they assert that more Jews in North America are intermarrying than she realized. It may be that the Brandeis Birthright Israel study is methodologically flawed–though frankly, I'm a historian and I often find it challenging to believe in the causal relationships that are set up in sociological studies. One blogger in an interfaith relationship challenges whether this is even the right question to ask. (He also assumes that the funders of Birthright are emphatically anti-intermarriage, but we don't believe that is so — several of the leading Birthright funders also fund Jewish outreach to interfaith families–including InterfaithFamily.com.) Oh! Nearly missed my chance to cite the best blog post title ever: Intermarriage Not Cancer–though the author was just pointing to Leyna Krow's post on the subject that ends with the line, "No need to taint it by claiming Birthright will fix a problem that isn't really a problem." Here's how I think about this. Either we as a people are in terrible trouble, because we are going to lose the children of interfaith marriage, who won't be Jews. Or we are about to get a very nice present, because we are going to gain the children of interfaith marriage, who will be some very committed and interesting bicultural Jews. Right now, we are seeing both things happen. We have some lovely young Jews from interfaith families working in the Jewish community and joining synagogues, and we have some children of interfaith families who are raising their own children as "nothing." What's it going to be? More Jews, or fewer? Punish the children because of who their parents are, or enjoy their company over your Shabbat table? Yes, interfaith families will choose–but they are part of our community, and they don't make their choices in a vacuum. I can't say whether Birthright Israel is the one true way to encourage Jewish commitment. I'm a little nervous about putting all of our eggs in a single basket. I think we've developed different denominations, theologies and political ideologies–different ways to be Jewish–so that we can all stay connected to one another and pass along our cultural and religious heritage to a new generation. Interfaith families are part of that. We have run a lot of articles from children of interfaith families about their experiences with Birthright Israel. It's worthwhile to listen to their voices in this discussion. |

These are great bindings. They fit well and are responsive, stiff for free riding and just right for park. They have awesome jelly pads where your toes and heels go as absorbers for stomping that rad trick or overshooting something. They are over all a very comfortable binding and i enjoyed trying them out on my friends board the other day! Can't go wrong with these for sure!

Grayson hails 'outstanding' Leeds stars
Jermaine Beckford's first-half strike gave Leeds a lead they defended throughout, sparking jubilant scenes among the visiting fans after five nervous injury-time minutes. Grayson paid tribute to Beckford for his nerveless strike. He said: "It was good ball from Jonathan Howson and Jermaine got in there and nine times out of 10 he finishes them off and that's what he did. "He gave us an opportunity to go on and win the game from there and with a bit of luck that's what we did. Full credit to the players who were outstanding today but it's what they've been like all season." Referring to Brian Flynn being the last man to score the winner for Leeds at Old Trafford in 1981, Grayson added: "I saw Flynny the other week and he reminded me he was the last player to score the winner at Old Trafford. "I told the players before the game this was the opportunity to be a new hero. I'm sure we'll be celebrating in Leeds over the next few days and the players might have tomorrow off then start ready for the Wycombe game at the weekend." Leeds captain Richard Naylor hailed his side's heroic win, and admitted: "It was a long time coming." Naylor told ITV1: "We've had to wait a long time since we last won here and I'm really proud of the lads and the supporters. "I thought we had a few chances to make it two late on. They're always going to get chances at Old Trafford, you wouldn't expect anything else but we dug in when we had to."

Stephne, Interesting, I checked the Association English database. There are plenty of Henrys but none born circa 1836. As you may know there were two ancient Churchill families in England. The most prominent was the family of the first Sir Winston circa 17th Century. They are called the Dorset Churchills (because that is where the family originated). They date from Normandy before the Conquest. Their English Progenitor was an Elias de Churchulle b. 1271. The lesser known family is the Oxfordshire Churchills. Their Progenitor simply appears in OXON records in 1300. Their origin and how they came to use the Churchill name is unknown. The two families are not at all related - although until the DNA Project it was thought that they were. Devon Churchills are of the genetic Haplogroup I-1a which makes them of Nordic origin. This is consistent with the 1st Sir Winston's written ancestry. The OXON Churchills are in Haplogroup R-1b which makes them of middle European Origin from circa 13,000 or so years ago. Individuals in I-1a and R-1b are not at all related. The Association has the genetic signatures for Churchills of both families. I would recommend that you consider Y-DNA testing. From that, at minimum, you should learn to which ancient English family you belong. Regards, Bill Churchill CHURCHILL Y-DNA Genesis Project. |

Zelazowa, Murph
The Note
142 E. Market Street
West Chester, PA, 19382
Doors 7:30 PM / Show 8:30 PM
This event is 21 and over
Think Soundgarden and Alice In Chains had a love child with Neil Young.
Members of ZELAZOWA are the creators of Indie on the Move LLC (www.indieonthemove.com) - The greatest music venue database and tour booking resource on the web.
Over the course of the past few years, the Philadelphia-based alternative rock band ZELAZOWA has been a study in what can be accomplished when armed solely with sheer willpower and determination, taking on the challenges of operating as a national entity into its own hands with a steadfast do-it-yourself ethic. Without a fancy record deal, without the help of management or any other kind of machinery pushing it forward, ZELAZOWA has scratched and clawed its way into the international arena with its exceptional brand of energetic and undeniable Rock 'n' Roll.
Based out of West Chester, PA, Murph plays the Rock and Roll that people have forgotten about. Tight rhythm, soulful lead, melodic harmonies, we write music for all audiences. We have sounds similar to 90s grunge, hardcore punk, and even sounds from the 60s. We guarantee that you will be grooving to our music.
Penrose is a Philadelphia blues-rock band comprised of brothers Tom, Pat, and Dan Murphy. Their influences range from the Delta Blues of John Lee Hooker and R.L. Burnside through to garage rock of the 90's and 00's of Jack White and Dan Auerbach, with hints of experimental psychadelic rock of musicians like Pink Floyd's David Gilmour and Radiohead's Johnny Greenwood.
Tom, Pat, and Dan had been making music since their early teen years on the family piano, but the brothers officially formed the band in the Spring of 2009 and played their first show in a warehouse in North Philly to a modest crowd. Since then, the band has worked to refine their sound and increase their exposure – both to much success. Most of their time is spent on the New Jersey Turnpike straddling New York City and Philadelphia's underground scenes. They've played packed shows and demonstrated their intense and engaging live act at venues such as Webster Hall and The Mercury Lounge in NYC, and The Trocadero and Kung Fu Necktie in Philly.
In the Spring of 2010, Penrose flew to Austin, TX for the South by Southwest music festival and gained new exposure to a new audience of to-be fans and music industry professionals. Upon return to the east coast, just before their one year anniversary, the band played to 6,000 people in New York as they opened for superstars MGMT. The Fall of 2010 saw Penrose at another major independent music festival, CMJ, as they played two packed showcases in Manhattan for the event. Penrose repeated the trip to Austin for SXSW 2011 and played three incredible showcases, including one that they hosted called the Woodrow Ave Massacre. They have a few showcases lined up for CMJ 2011, and have already been featured in a CMJ Spotlight.
Penrose has received considerable accolades from fans and press alike, both for their raucous live show and raw songwriting. Along with being honored as the Deli Magazine Band of the Month July 2010 and awarded Readers Choice EMERGING ARTIST of 2010, they have been described as:
"Penrose is the epitome of hard rock, modern blues revival with an alternative twist and personal touch." - Sasha Patpatia, CMJ
"This rock trio slayed us. . ." - The Audio Perv
"Dan's haunting, bluesy voice is the perfect complement to the gritty guitar licks, thumping bass lines and roaring rhythm section that is the heart and soul of Penrose." – CultureMob
"Raucous batch of tunes that harkens back to blues like Sonny Boy Williamson mixed with Led Zeppelin." – The Deli Magazine
"[They] display that sort of preternatural connection and musicianship as they wring the stomping, bluesy rock . . . and the trippy, spacey atmospherics from Floyd and Radiohead, for the songs that comprise their new LP Devil's Grip" – Philadelphia Weekly
"The Brothers Murphy open up and say "arg" while stretching the blues to stadium-size disgust." – City Paper
"Amazing sound…endless energy." – Junior's Cave
"Led Zeppelin meets blues meets Radiohead? And From Philly? Penrose." – Phillyist
Now the band has just finished recording their debut full-length album Devil's Grip and will be releasing it December 23rd, 2010. The album was celebrated with two massive shows in Philadelphia at Kung Fu Necktie and New York City at The Studio at Webster Hall. Penrose is now touring the country during an ambitious 24 city campaign and at the same time has begun work on the band's next record.

BATON ROUGE, LA (FOX44) — A familiar name is serving up a new way to eat in downtown Baton Rouge. Zolia Bistro opened its doors this week inside City Plaza on Fourth Street.
The same owners that brought DeAngelo's are taking on a new challenge. The Italian bistro begins the day with a quick and casual breakfast and lunch dinner menu, but then takes on a whole new direction for dinner.
Taking a cue from the Spanish, Zolia features a tapas menu at night.
"One person could come in and order a couple of small plates to go with maybe one glass of wine, maybe try a taste of another wine with another dish," Mathew Anderson, General Manager for Zolia, explained. "But it's more of just trying different things instead of having one plate that's just the one dish."
In Spanish, Tapas means "small plates," and is a traditional way of dining. By taking on the unique style of dining, Zolia hopes to tap into the new crowd of young professionals who occupy downtown in the evening. It's a concept that gained positive reviews when it was first displayed back in September at the Pop Up Restaurant in Perkins Rowe.

I'd point out that for the budget you've got$150-200k, you could buy a new Gemini 105Mc catamaran and fit it out as you like. It'd have at least as much space as a 45' monohull, and be far more comfortable at anchor. They also have very good resale value...
As a multihull guy, I had to suggest this.

Our plan is to instead. Buy the boat and move on her shortly there after and rent the house. Since we own the house we could continue to work for 1 year and rent the house. This would allow us to continue to save a lot of money per month. I estimate in 1 year we would have about 35 - 40k to go sailing for one year. Continue to rent the house while we sail pays most of the monthly payment on the boat loan and we use the 35-40k to sial for a year coming home after the year or when money runs thin. We simply pull the boat in and find jobs again and decide if we want to continue. I suspect we will since we both met each other 15 years ago while sailing and this has been our dream for a while. Maybe after 1 year we have much more experience and we save for another year that takes us over to the Pacific. Anyway I think you get the idea now. We are not rich and we are not retired. We are in our 40s, have no debt and want to start cruising. This seems to be a reasonable plan. There are other ways, I just thought I would post this plan to see what people thought and to see if anyone may have done something similar. Seems to me it could be a good way to go.

You know what the first rule of sailing is? ...Love. You can learn all the math in the 'verse, but you take
a boat to the sea you don't love, she'll shake you off just as sure as the turning of the worlds. Love keeps
her going when she oughta fall down, tells you she's hurting 'fore she keens. Makes her a home.

Thank you so much for your wonderful hospitality. It meant so much to come "home" rather than "back to a room" The extra touches were very much appreciated. Snacks, condiments, cold drinks, snorkel equipment, washer and dryer and so much more really added to the comfort of the experience. We loved the screened porch for morning coffee, listening to the symphony of bird songs, then at night the frogs would strike up the band! I recorded both so maybe we can recreated the experience back in icy Alaska It was a pleasure to stay here .. Thank you again for a lovely experience..

Schumer Calls On FEMA To Help Long Island Flood Victims
Friday, August 15, 2014
(Islip, NY) -- New York Senator Chuck Schumer is calling on FEMA to help Long Island flood victims following Wednesday's record rainfall. He said his first reaction when he heard about communities like Islip being inundated with more than 13-inches of water was, "Oh my God, another Sandy." Schumer says he'll make sure the feds bail out water-logged Long Islanders. Most of the Nassau and Suffolk homeowners affected have learned that their homeowners' insurance won't help them because they did not have flood insurance.

Dr Dohi said: "Smokers are twice as likely to have a heart attack as people who have never smoked. Quitting smoking is the most important thing people can do to reduce their risk of cardiovascular disease. But until now, studies have not examined whether the increased risk caused by smoking is completely reversed after smoking cessation."
The current study investigated how the vascular system is altered by smoking and whether the changes can be normalised by smoking cessation. The researchers focused on the effects of smoking and smoking cessation on arterial endothelial function and circulating serotonin concentration.
Both endothelial dysfunction and serotonin contribute to the development of atherosclerosis. Serotonin released from platelets induces platelet aggregation, which initiates blood coagulation and contractions in arteries especially those with damaged endothelium.
Smoke from cigarettes contains toxic molecules including nicotine, carbon monoxide and hydrogen cyanide which may cause and promote atherosclerosis via endothelial dysfunction and increased activity of blood coagulation.
The study included 27 apparently healthy male smokers aged 408 years and 21 age-adjusted non-smokers (407 years). Endothelial function was assessed by flow mediated dilation and peripheral arterial tonometry (PAT). Both methods assess endothelial function as the ability to dilate arteries through the release of endothelium-derived relaxing factors.
Dr Dohi said: "As expected, smoking damaged arterial endothelial function and increased plasma serotonin levels."
Only 21 subjects agreed to stop smoking for 8 weeks. Smoking cessation was confirmed in 11 out of the 21 subjects by measuring serum levels of cotinine, the principal metabolite of nicotine. Smokers who completely attained smoking cessation had a significantly increased PAT ratio (P<0.05) but serotonin levels were not significantly changed (see figure). Dr Dohi

You can't get one until you unlock the second island. |
Not true, There are methods to get to the West Island early-Spuds has the easiest method-of driving a PCJ-600 right through the barrier on the bridge by the Ocean Beach Hospital. Then you can obtain the Police Maverick, Purchase the Hyman and obtain a Maverick that way, Also, you can get 80 Hidden Packages and get a Sea Sparrow spawn behind Diaz/Vercetti estate on Starfish Island, and after 100 packages, you can get the Hunter spawn at Fort Baxter(requires a little work to get it without dieing), but, as far as I know, those are the only aircraft that can be obtained early w/out waiting for storyline progression. Hope this helps.

LEXINGTON, Ky. (AP) - Maty Mauk threw five touchdown passes, four to Dorial Green-Beckham, and No. 9 Missouri cruised past Kentucky 48-17 on Saturday.
Making his fourth consecutive start in place of the injured James Franklin, the Tigers' redshirt freshman completed 17 of 28 attempts for 203 yards and took full advantage of 6-foot-6 sophomore Green-Beckham, whose TD receptions set a school record.
Mauk added a 6-yard scoring pass to Henry Josey, who also rushed for two TDs, including an 86-yarder.
Missouri (9-1, 5-1 Southeastern Conference) allowed Kentucky (2-7, 0-5) two touchdowns in the third quarter but the Mauk-to-Green-Beckham connection answered both scores with TDs.
The victory helped the Tigers stay a half-game ahead of idle South Carolina (5-2) atop the East division heading into their second bye and gave coach Gary Pinkel his fourth nine-win season in 13 years with Missouri.
Missouri outgained Kentucky just 426-369, but its defense recorded seven sacks and recovered a fumble in handing the Wildcats their 13th straight SEC loss.
Kentucky's only consolation were scores on the opening possessions of both halves. Joe Mansour kicked a 21-yard field goal in the first quarter, while quarterback Jalen Whitlow ran for a 1-yard TD to start the second half.
Raymond Sanders' 1-yard TD run brought the Wildcats within 35-17, but the Tigers tacked on two more TDs to cap a day in which they scored four consecutive times in the first half and three times in the second.
Missouri came in with one of the SEC's top offenses, averaging 500 yards and nearly 41 points per game. The Tigers were coming off a 502-yard effort in last week's 31-3 rout of Tennessee, when Mauk ran and passed for more than 100 yards each and threw for three TDs.
Mauk ended up matching his season TD total in one game before giving way to Franklin in the fourth quarter, his first action since injuring his shoulder against Georgia.
Green-Beckham had the biggest day, catching seven passes for 100 yards. Josey, meanwhile, finished with 113 yards rushing on 11 carries.
Dominant as the Tigers were, their timing seemed off during the first two series after the early start. But then they caught a huge break when Kentucky punter Landon Foster shanked a 13-yard kick to the Wildcats 39.
Back-to-back runs of 6 and 27 yards by Marcus Murphy moved the Tigers to Kentucky's 8 and set up Mauk's floater in the left corner of the end zone, where Green-Beckham effortlessly went up over 6-foot cornerback Nate Willis to snag the touchdown pass.
Missouri special teamer Levi Copeland made Foster's day even worse on the next drive by blocking his attempted punt inside the 10. It was recovered by the punter at the 4. Josey ran it in on the next play, and just like that the Tigers were up 14-3.
The Tigers' next touchdown was nearly identical to the first, as Green-Beckham out-jumped Willis again on the left side of the other end zone for a 7-yard score to cap the Tigers' first sustained drive, 67 yards and 10 plays.
Missouri was just as methodical on its final scoring drive of the half. The Tigers went 87 yards and 15 plays and ended with Mauk's 6-yard pass to Josey, who stretched to hit the pylon as he was knocked out of bounds.
Kentucky controlled the ball for more than 37 minutes, but it didn't matter as Missouri scored quickly in bunches.

The White House's Barnes said on Tuesday that a number of other states, including Illinois, Tennessee, Ohio, Connecticut and Rhode Island have raised their charter caps or defeated proposed cuts to charter school funding, so that they too can compete.
Wisconsin's state legislature will vote on Thursday on legislation similar to California's that would allow student performance to impact teacher pay. If the measure does not pass, Wisconsin will not be eligible for Race to the Top dollars.
"Ultimately, this idea is really simple," Barnes said, "We want to support strategies that are working and replicate them all over the country. We will subject every application that we get to a rigorous review. And we will only award grants to those that demonstrate real commitment and real results. That's the president's ultimate goal."
Duncan admitted in July that he worries about students who may suffer if their states do not adopt the requirements, and he hopes the grants will serve as a large incentive for reform.
"We're going to do this in two rounds so districts that aren't doing the right things, that aren't serious about reform, will have a chance to come back," Duncan said. "This is not a federal mandate, this is really just an incentive.
"You'll see some folks who will be sort of business-as-usual and not challenge the status quo," he added, "and you'll see other places where they're really willing to innovate, really willing to push the envelope and get dramatically better -- and that's who we want to invest in."
Some, however, claim that the program is not using nearly enough money to create the kind of reform that this administration is hoping to see.
"It's $5 billion, which sounds like a whole lot of money," the American Enterprise Institute's Andrew Smarick said. "There's about $100 billion in the whole stimulus plan for education. This is just a small chunk, so we really have to manage our expectations about what it's going to be able to accomplish."
Smarick voiced concerns that states ultimately may do what they wish with the one-time cash infusion.
"There is this concern that maybe a state gets $200 million and then, at the end of a year or two, they have nothing to show for it other than preserving jobs and programs," he said. "But this is a problem when you give away big sums of money and just give it to states for things that they promise to do."
Duncan did not offer clear specifics on how the Department of Education would monitor how the money was being spent, but promised "unparalleled transparency."
"We want to work with these states on a forward-going basis to make sure we're all learning from each other," he said. "I'm sure states will make some mistakes. This won't happen perfectly. But there's going to be a lot more good that can come out of this."

Kansas City man is charged with sexually assaulting two young children
Jackson County prosecutors have filed five felony sex charges, including sodomy, against a 28-year-old man accused of molesting two young children he knew.
Prosecutors allege that Edward Ellis III of Kansas City abused the children, a 5-year-old boy and a 2-year-old girl, between 2010 and 2012.
Police arrested Ellis on Thursday. He remained in jail Friday in lieu of a $100,000 bond.
The victims' grandmother discovered and reported the allegations in April 2012. She heard the girl crying in a room as if the girl desperately was "trying to get away from something," according to court records. The grandmother walked into the room and saw Ellis with his face in the girl's private area. the records said. The boy also was in the room crying.
The boy later told specially trained social workers that Ellis would sneak into his room and hurt his privates, court records said.
The Missouri Children's Division took custody of the children and a 1-year-old baby at the home the day the allegations were reported. The victims' mother told detectives she didn't call police about Ellis because she didn't want him to go to jail, according to court records. She also told the victims' grandmother that "it was none of her business," according to the records released Friday.
