Joshua WeissJune 1997 |
Well, it's May. The 15th, even! I'm very proud of myself for actually sitting down and writing this on the actual deadline day, instead of the day after like my two previous ones. As to why I don't write this ahead of time, or even in stages (I did that a little bit), I don't really know. Maybe it's because I do my best work at the last minute. Probably not. Anyway, it's May, and I only have 8 more days of school. (I think. I've lost track of time and reality) Quite a lot of things happened, Model U.N., Prom, etc., and you probably could all care less about such details, but I'm going to tell you all about them anyway. (I have the suspicion that only one person in the world will read this column anyway. Thanks, bud.
First off, just recently I finished my latest poem: Dark (which will probably appear in July's issue), and on the very day I completed it, our English teacher decides to make us all write a poem to go into the sophomore compilation they do every year. I was pissed. First off, Dark totally drained me, it was the first thing I had written in many months, and I got very emotional while writing it. The poem itself isn't necessarily that powerful, just the fact that I was writing something again. Secondly, I was really proud of Dark, but I couldn't submit it, due to the (ahem) interesting content. (I've only written a couple poems like that...) So I decided to take my poetry in a new direction (read: structure), and Vampiric Anathema is what came of it. It's a sestina, something I've just now been introduced to. Six stanzas of six ten-syllable lines each, and the last words of the lines repeat in a funky order. (123456 615243) Plus that three line envoy using the six words again, three in the middle, three at the end. Go read it! I'm pleased! The whole concept behind Anathema is that I wanted to say something, but I dared not be blunt. So I gave it two titles, and wrote a piece of vampire fiction which can (in my warped mind) be also interpreted as the struggle of two homosexual lovers. Hence the title "Bent." Read the first title, then read the poem with that title in mind. Then go back and read the second title, and read the poem with the second title in mind. I hope that works.
Oh yeah. We're also reading Lord of the Flies in English. I'm glad they make us all read that... It might just be the only chance some of these kids will have to be exposed to good literature. Unfortunately, most of my classmates are the type who think the book is totally worthless, except of course for the six hunts. That makes me mad, but ah well.
Iowa Model U.N. came and went, and I learned a lot... It was a fun time, and I look forward to going back next year. Basically (You asked for it, man, here it is) what it is is three days of arguing. You're on a committee representing a particular country, and you work to resolve part of the U.N. statement by writing amendments and arguing over them (At least that's what I got.). Well, Friday night was my favorite part of the deal: the dance. Let me rephrase: The dance sucked. What was cool was what my friends and I did instead of the dance. Basically we went onto the roof of the UNI Maucker Union where the dance was held and did beat poetry and sang, and acted, and had a fun time. We actually attracted quite a crowd, the crowd of people who were just like us (sick and tired of the crap music [read: Cotton-Eye Joe] and wanting to do something nice and quiet), up on the roof that night. And under the stars, in the semi-warm night, I met (have I set the mood?) Joe. Joe's a pretty cool guy. He looks like a young Robert Smith. He and I have been e-mailing each other back and forth. That's all I know. And right now, that's all I want to know.
He was the Knight to Remember. The Night to Forget is coming up next.
Prom. Now, granted, as a sophomore, I am technically not allowed to attend prom. Thank God for loopholes. I'm really chummy with the speech/drama teacher at the high school, and it just so happens that every year she has about three sophomores videotape prom, after-prom, the chaos of decoration, etc. Well, I was one of those sophomores. It was kind of neat, I got to wear a T-Shirt and jeans and laugh at all of the people in their hot sweaty tuxes. (Now that I think about it, I wore the same shirt to prom that I wore to the Model U.N. dance. Spooky.) I taped all-day from 8:30 Saturday morn to 4 Sunday morn. I was very tired. Basically, prom was fairly cool, for about 3 minutes. After that, it lost its novelty. Right about the time the DJ played "Tears in Heaven." Everybody grabbed their date and headed out to the floor, because this was the first slow song he had played all night. My camera's battery was recharging, so I had nothing to do but sit there. And I got to thinking about how much I'm just sick of people in general, specifically the people around me. I just feel like I need to get away from them for a while, then come back and everything will be better. They're my dearest friends and I love them all, but I'm just tired of them. I know that sounds awful, and I don't really mean it like that, but I just need to take a hiatus from my life for a while and be someone else. Hopefully, summer will provide that hiatus. Needless to say, the rest of my night sucked. Especially when the girl who thinks I'm in love with her (even *after* I told her!) physically drug me out onto the floor and made me dance. Ick. Hopefully my senior prom will be better. I plan out going out with a bang, if you get my drift. Now I just need a date...
That was the Night to Forget. I'm very proud of my subject. The Prom's theme this year was: A Knight to Remember. (With a whole Camelot motif) I like irony, yes I do.
Speaking of Summer, it should be fun. Going to see "Rent" in Minneapolis when it comes. Yes, I will be going with a few of my friends, but I don't think it'll be a problem. In addition, what is going to make me really feel better, is that my mom and I are planning on driving out to Vermont for a vacation. We used to live there, I moved here in the summer of '93, so I'll be able to see all my old friends in Colchester, and revisit all my old haunts in Burlington (Church Street, here I come again!) I'm very excited, even if we are driving and it will take two days to get there. (Two days in the car with my mother. Not as fun as it looks on the screen, folks. I don't know. Maybe I can convince my mom to stop and spend the night in Ohio. That would be fun. *wink*
Well, that's about all I have to say for now. I thought this would be longer, but hey, that's okay. I spend most of my time mailing nowadays anyway, what's one more mail? Later, I guess. Feel free to write me hate mail, or any other kind of mail you choose.
I remain, josh

Missouri 109 & Wild Horse Creek Rd Chesterfield, MO 63005
CHESTERFIELD, Mo. (KMOV.com) – A driver has been hospitalized after crashing their vehicle in Chesterfield Thursday morning.
Police said the accident happened near the intersection of Route 109 and Wildhorse Creek Road around 3 a.m.
According to reports, the driver lost control of their vehicle, left the roadway and rolled down a steep 50-foot embankment. First responders reported that the vehicle was on its side and resting against a tree when they arrived.
Officials said it took emergency crews a while to reach the victim due to the steep embankment and lack of light. When they finally reached the victim, they discovered they had been partially ejected from the vehicle.
Arch helicopter was called in to transport the victim to Mercy Hospital. Authorities report the patient suffered significant injuries, but did not elaborate further.
A firefighter was injured by a fall during the rescue effort. He or she was treated and released at a local hospital.
There's no word on what caused the crash.

My amateur radio activity started in 1970. It was from 6m band in the beginning, and QSO with VK stations from JA by sporadic-E propagation was enjoyed for a while. Then, 1975, it began to QSO by HF, which is the essence of a ham. When activity by HF was begun, naturally the first target was becoming a DXCC member. If a high-gain directive,like Yagi-Uda,antenna was used, it wasn't so difficult to work 100 countries. But I made myself the target confirm with a simple Di-pole antenna 100 countries. So ,carrying out 100 countries acquisition,took in three years after all, and it carry out skilled of the amateur radioactivity enough. After that, the three-element antenna was utilized and 260 countries QSO were made. In 1994, it carried out by flying an antenna by the typhoon, and had to be forced QRT. Since propagation was not good moreover, so, I was QRTed for a while (except UHF). My future target is, someday, on the air from every corner of the World. 2006 Aug.25th, after a longtime QRT, I came buck again.Now,the propagation was so poor, but I am very active on 20m,15m and 10m band.

Concierge.com's insider take:
Washington's reputation for great local and/or organic wine continues to grow. To do the full wine tour, you'd need to venture to Eastern Washington's Yakima Valley. However, there are about two dozen wineries in the Woodinville area, which is only 45 minutes northeast of Seattle. This group includes Chateau Ste. Michelle, Washington's oldest and most famous winery. Tours and tastings are available daily, and the grounds, which include a French-château–style building, make it a popular day trip (14111 NE 145th St., Woodinville; 425-415-3300; www.ste-michelle.com). Within the city limits, swing by the Tasting Room near Pike Place Market to sample hard-to-find wines from a half-dozen small producers (1924 Post Alley; 206-770-9463). Also stop by the Queen Anne branch of McCarthy & Schiering, the city's best wine merchant, known not only for its comprehensive selection of local wines, but also for a staff that's down-to-earth and welcoming instead of snobby (2401B Queen Anne Ave. N.; 206-282-8500).

Im Juni 2013 haben wir 2 Nächte in dem Hotel "The Boltons" in London verbracht. Die äußere Erscheinung des Hotels ist äußerst positiv. Im Hotel wurde schnell bemerkbar "klein aber fein". Das Hotel ist sehr modern und neu eingerichtet. Der Service ist sehr zuvorkommend und hilft bei jeder frage und die Hotelzimmer sind ebenfalls modern und mit allen wichtigen Utensilien (Föhn, Safe, Telefon, etc) ausgestattet. Das Essen am Morgen ist qualitativ gut, jedoch ist nur eine kleine Auswahl vorhanden, da der Essens"saal" sehr klein ist. Zur Lage: Die Lage des Hotels ist für Urlauber perfekt. Die nächste Underground station heißt "Earls Court" und ist 3 Minuten vom Hotel entfernt, somit sehr zentral. Es lohnt sich sehr das Geld für dieses Hotel auszugeben. das alles stimmt. less »

Evergreen Energy Begins Trading On The OTCBB
Evergreen Energy Inc. (OTCBB: EVEI), at the market open today, began trading under the symbol "EVEI" or "EVEI.OB" on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board ("OTCBB").
On December 1, 2011, the company announced that NYSE Arca delivered a notice to the company confirming that the exchange will suspend trading of the company's common stock on the NYSE Arca prior to the opening of business on December 2, 2011. The company's common stock will be delisted from the exchange pending the completion of applicable procedures to be completed by the NYSE Arca and pending any appeal that the company may file.
Stocks traded on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board may experience more limited trading volume and exhibit wider spreads between the bid/ask quotation. In addition, the company's common stock would become subject to the "penny stock" rules, which impose additional customer suitability and disclosure requirements on broker-dealers effecting transactions in common stock. These requirements could adversely affect the market price and liquidity of the company's common stock.

I don't know what it is about the Super Jackpot Party slot machine, but every time I walk past it I just want to dance. I don't really, I just made that up, but I am sure that the maker of this video slot – WMS, would love to think I did.
One thing you can say about Super Jackpot Party, you cannot miss it if it's in the casino. There are jingles, song snippets and random noises constantly being pumped out of this machine. It is also so bright in color that it you are advised not to stare at it for too long.
WMS have released an online version of Super Jackpot Party, which is just as loud and bright as the slot machine. There are a few changes in the game, but it is hardly noticeable. One thing that is frustrating it that WMS slots online cannot be accessed by players from the US.
The bonus round in Super Jackpot Party is a pick 'em style bonus and is activated when you get scatters on reels 1, 3 and 5. Surprisingly this is not that hard to hit and you should see it happen a few times if you sit down for a session on this slot. That being said, it is rare that you will be getting anything near 100x your stake with this type of bonus, but now and then it does pay out nicely.
There really isn't a great deal else to say about this slot, like IGT's version of Wheel of Fortune, its big, load and gives you regular payouts. But if prefer the excitement of high volatility slots then this is not likely to do much for you and you may prefer something like the rock band-themed Kiss slot. My suggestion is give it a go and see what you think, it might just be what you are after.

Warm air, jet fuel, cigarette smoke and plumerias.
I didn't post on Monday. I was busy drinking maitais by the pool in Hawaii. Okay, well, in truth, I was busy chasing the kiddos around the pool, which was even more fun, and I did sneak in a maitai or two.
I was ready for a little vacation. We went to a resort just outside Honolulu with my husband's mom, dad, sister, brother-in-law, cousin, and my mom. Here are a few photos (which you have already seen if you follow my Instagram feed).
It was perfect, but I didn't blog about it while we were there because I always feel like blogging about being on vacation is like inviting people to rob you.
But now that we're back I can say – it was lovely.
More than that, it got the juices of my deep deep memory flowing, and as a good little writer nerd, I'm proud to say, I did my fifteen minutes of writing every day and then some. I wrote almost exclusively about memories of other places, of the times in my life that I have lived on other, much less resort-like, islands. The smell of that thick warm air, jet fuel, cigarette smoke and plumerias kept transporting me, even as I loaded car seats in and out of rentals, to times I almost never think of anymore.
For two summers, when I was thirteen and then again when I was fourteen, my sister and I went to live with my dad on a small island in the south pacific called Kwajalein (here's a map of roughly where our home wa
Then there were the four months I lived on the much drier, even even less populated, South Caicos
These are the memories that came up for me in Hawaii. It's amazing how scents take us back. I wonder if I'll ever actually go back to those places. They are so remote, it's hard to imagine. The whole thing has me feeling pretty nostalgic. I suppose there are stories in these memories, but for now they are just notes in my journal, to be mined at some future date.

Arizona State Sun Devils
Updated Dec 28, 2012 - 1:53 pm
Sun Devils to debut new helmet in Kraft Fight Hunger Bowl
The Arizona State Sun Devils are adding another helmet to the repertoire, as they will debut a new version of the white cap Saturday in the Kraft Fight Hunger Bowl.
A photo of the new helmet was originally tweeted by State Press writer Master Tesfatsion, and it ends weeks of speculation about what the team would look like in the game.
It had already been announced the Sun Devils would wear their black jersey, and there's a good chance they will be donning their white pants.
If that's the case, based on a creation made on http://www.thedevilswear.com/, the team will look like this:
It's an interesting -- and different -- look for the team.

There are also mouthwashes with hydrogen peroxide. Gargling with this helps with inflammation.
None of these are permanent solutions but it will help you manage symptoms of tooth abscess until you can see the dentist.

Red Bulls Sebastian Vettel maintained his stranglehold at the top of the timesheets on Wednesday, as this week's multi-team test session at Barcelonas Circuit de Catalunya drew to a close. Vettel clocked a quickest lap of 1m 19.925s around the Spanish track to finish almost six-tenths ahead of former Toro Rosso team mate Sebastian Bourdais.
His programme focused on testing Bridgestones slick tyres and the RB4 was set-up to replicate the levels of downforce that can be expected next season. The young German, who will race for the team in 2009, covered 75 laps.
It was good to be back in a race car again, for the first time since Brazil, said Vettel. Running the 2009 slick tyres was very interesting and very different to what Formula One has been used to for the past few years. It was also a useful couple of days for me from the point of view of getting to know the engineers and the rest of the team. It is important to develop a common understanding between us and winter testing is the ideal opportunity to do just that.
Bourdais, whose Toro Rosso race seat remains unconfirmed for 2009, covered 122 laps. One of the Frenchmans rivals for the drive, Sebastien Buemi, took charge of the other STR3 and finished third. Buemi completed 115 laps.
McLaren fielded one driver, Gary Paffett, as they continued to evaluate their KERS system. Paffett, fourth, covered 81 laps in the MP4-23K and the team were happy with progress. Just over two-tenths down on the tester was fellow Briton Jenson Button for Honda, who continued his set-up programme in the RA108.
Bruno Senna, who is being evaluated by Honda as a possible race driver for 2009, joined Button on track. Senna, eighth, spent the morning establishing a good baseline, before tackling an improvement programme in the afternoon on new tyres.
Today has been a really good day and I'm very pleased, said the Brazilian. I've become a lot more comfortable and confident in the car and I think that showed in the lap time, both in the actual time and also the consistency. We found some good set-ups and we were able to make a lot of progress through the day.
Whether what I did today is good enough is for the team to decide now and I respect that. But for me personally, for my first time in a Formula One car, I have to be happy with what I achieved today. It's very different to anything else you can drive and I just wanted to go faster and faster.
BMW Sauber tester Christian Klien was sixth fastest, finishing just under six-hundredths of a second ahead of the teams race driver, Nick Heidfeld. Klien again drove the car equipped with BMW's KERS system, and despite a brief off caused by a hydraulic-related problem in the drivetrain, covered 88 laps. Heidfeld took charge of a KERS-less F1.08B and worked on set-up for 2009.
Nelson Piquet was at the wheel of the sole Renault and finished ninth. Piquet continued his evaluation of slick tyres and carried out some investigative work in the R28, which was set up to simulate 2009 settings. He covered 94 laps.
It's been a good test for us and we were able to cover the main test items that we had scheduled, which included a few R&D items that gave us some positive results, explained Renault's chief test engineer Christian Silk. Working with the car on slick tyres has been very useful and the engineers now have some valuable data to take back to the factory and to look at before the next test in a couple of weeks time."
Nico Hulkenberg was back in the car for Williams and clocked the 10th-fastest time. Although Hulkenberg lost a little time on track, he completed 52 laps and technical director Sam Michel was satisfied with the British teams progress.
For this weeks Barcelona test, we ran the interim FW30B car in order to continue our preparation work for 2009, Michael explained. The car has a lower downforce level to the 30, and more closely represents what the teams expect to run next season. Obviously the aero components being run this week are not the latest specification versions as no one wants to reveal what they've been working on at this stage!
Weve covered some useful mileage over the past three days. Its been a particularly helpful exercise to put the miles on the engine and transmission which will have to last three races next season. We also made progress on various mechanical and aerodynamic components and, although we've used the slick tyres in previous tests, we are now focusing our full attention on them.
Ferrari also fielded only one driver, Luca Badoer, on the final day. Badoer continued his engine and gearbox reliability programme, whilst testing some new components, and was 11th fastest. He completed 120 laps, bringing Ferraris total over the three days to 355.
Completing the timesheets were Force Indias Giancarlo Fisichella, 12th, and McLaren tester Pedro de la Rosa, who continued to drive the teams VJM01, and finished in 13th.
The teams will reconvene in Spain in a fortnight for a further three-day test at Jerez from December 9.
Unofficial Wednesday times from Barcelona:
1. Sebastian Vettel, Red Bull, 1:19.295
2. Sebastien Bourdais, Toro Rosso, 1:19.839
3. Sebastien Buemi, Toro Rosso, 1:20.154

Color or total size is good. But I was disappointed because the lid does not fit perfectly when use as Ottoman. I guess if you want to use it as for tray all the time, I will recommend it but if you want to use it as Ottoman, I suggest you to go to furniture store because the price is not that different....
The picture online to me doesn't compare to what it really looks like in person. It looks so much better person ~it's very nice. It's vinyl and it looks great! The size is perfect, not too big nor small. I wanted a storage ottoman/coffeetable that was bigger than a bench and when I saw this, it couldn't be more perfect. It was affordable compared to other ottomans. It's soft to sit on and soft for my almost walking baby, and great storage for my small condo. It makes my living room look outstanding. Overall, I'm very happy with this purchase and recommend it to others. It only took couple days for shipping too!
good buy for what you get. color was actually whiter than what i expected from other reviews. already has a few scuff marks but any messes and dirt wipes right off. bought because i was having a baby and didnt want a hard surface table and wanted a modern look. lots of storage inside.
First one sent had scratches in the faux leather. Overstock replaced it with no problem. Great function and storage, but after a year or so of use, the faux leather had gotten lots of scratches. Should have cleaned easily, but trying to clean it has not been very successful (material begins to disintegrate at the edges). We don't even have little ones, but at just two years of use, we've felt it needed to be replaced. I would not purchase it again. Too bad about the fabric quality, because otherwise it would be wonderful.
This ottoman is perfect for my living room. It arrived quickly and it excellent condition. I couldn't be happier with the ottoman.
I love this ottoman. It is a rich looking item, it's on castors which is a bonus. The 4 trays are so useful. I love this piece. Also the customer service was excellent. Very responsive and helpful. Item shipped exactly on time. A+
I would highly recommend this ottoman. I absolutely adore it. It's sleek, rich leather is the perfect addition to my den. The trays flip over and are great when guest are over to place their beverages or personal items on. It was definitely well worth it and at such a great price.

I have definitely been slacking with the blogs lately, but with everyone leaving and packing up it has been kind of crazy to get everything that I need to get accomplished done! So I thought I would throw out a few songs that I have been listening to while I pack.
#1. The Paper Kites – Bloom
This song is a little mellow, but I can't stop listening to it. It kind of goes with the mood of moving out of the house. The mixture of the two voices of the girl and guy are really sweet.
#2. Logic – All I Do
If you know me then you knew there would have to be some rap on this list. I really like this song because of the beat behind it. It's a pretty simple beat, but the piano background is what gets me. It's not like the typical rap I listen to that is intense, this is way more laid back, which is a change of pace for me.
#3. Venice – The Lighthouse and the Whalers
So lately I have been listening to a lot of indie bands and this is one of them. I think you can start to see a pattern in the type of indie bands I like, but I really just like the way they sing. I like voices that don't sound so mainstream and this guys voice definitely doesn't sound like the norm that's out there.
This music Monday may not have been eventful, but it's difficult when I'm still trying to pack my life away, so hopefully tomorrow I can give a full blog about what's going on! There are a lot of new things that I can't wait to share. Until then happy packing everyone!

so, the CIA offers an undergraduate scholarship program helping to pay for tuition, fees, etc...in exchange, you have to work for them during the summer and x1.5 the years of school. so roughly 5-8 years. while this is an ideal situation for me, considering it's guaranteed work, it pays for my schooling, and i can do what i want.
but...it's the CIA. it's pretty much the people i rant about and hate. the CIA, who's probably funded every single evil scheme there ever was.
i mean....it's the freakin' CIA. and the career i would be pursuing would make me a direct contributor to even more horrible stuff.
but...they pay for school...and give me a job. what's more important, my ideals....or my practicality?
What do you mean, you can do what you want? Can you study anything?
And what kind of work for them might you be doing?
A free education and guaranteed work are pretty hard to pass up.
I suppose you could always take the subversive route and destroy them from the inside... oh, shit, they're watching us. I shouldn't have said that.
i'm planning on studying psychology, so i could study that anyway, and if i did, the career i'd choose would be psychological analyst.
ugghhhhh....i dunno.
so for those of you falling in love
keep it kind, keep it good, keep it right
throw yourself in the midst of danger
and keep one eye open at night.
--"Elephants" Rachel Yamagata
I mean I'm all for ideals but this will really help in the long run.
If you have "worked for the CIA" on your resume that would be pretty beneficial.

Join Young Jeezy's Thug Motivation Seminar at Mansion This Friday
Categories: Concert Preview

Thus, we've begun to wonder: Could TM 103, as it's known among insiders, be Jaylen Jenkins's Chinese Democracy? Probably not. He doesn't really seem the type to lock himself away for 15 years, diddling strippers and fiddling with knobs.
However, it wouldn't be a bad idea for Jeezy watchers to just generally disregard the new, supposedly definite street date of December 14. Until we see 103 on Christmas special at FYE, it's all just hype.
While we wait on the full package, though, there are plenty of scraps to scrutinize: last spring's promo mixtape Trap or Die II: By Any Means Necessary, the first official single "Jizzle" featuring Lil Jon, and this Friday's live show at Mansion. So listen between the lines, hit the club, and try to telepathically extract some truth from Jeezy's iron-trap mind.
Young Jeezy. Friday, October 22. Mansion, 1235 Washington Ave., Miami Beach. Doors opena at 11 p.m. and tickets cost $30 in advance via wantickets.com. Call 305-695-8411 or visit mansionmiami.com.

The function of the subnuclear structure the promyelocytic leukaemia (PML) body is unclear largely because of the functional heterogeneity of its constituents. Here, we provide the evidence for a direct link between PML, higher-order chromatin organization and gene regulation. We show that PML physically and functionally interacts with the matrix attachment region (MAR)-binding protein, special AT-rich sequence binding protein 1 (SATB1) to organize the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I locus into distinct higher-order chromatin-loop structures. Interferon gamma (IFNgamma) treatment and silencing of either SATB1 or PML dynamically alter chromatin architecture, thus affecting the expression profile of a subset of MHC class I genes. Our studies identify PML and SATB1 as a regulatory complex that governs transcription by orchestrating dynamic chromatin-loop architecture.

RENTON, Wash. -- The Seahawks were understandably banged up coming out of a physical NFC Championship Game against division rival San Francisco, but with some time off, Seattle could be as close to full strength as any team could hope for as it heads into the Feb.âEUR0/002 Super Bowl.
This week could see a big boost in that regard as receiver Percy Harvin is expected to return from a concussion that kept him out of Seattle's 23-17 victory Sunday.
Coach Pete Carroll said the team will return to practice Wednesday and that Harvin "has a very good chance" of participating.
"He was in pretty good shape on the weekend," Carroll said of Harvin, "so he still has to go through a couple clearances and all that, but we're kind of counting on him to be ready."
In other health issues, running back Marshawn Lynch likely will rest this week after carrying the ball 22 times against the hard-hitting 49ers. Defensive tackle Brandon Mebane has foot/ankle soreness and receiver Doug Baldwin played through a hip issue Sunday that could limit him this week.
Indications Monday, at least, were that the injuries aren't serious.
Also positive was news that linebacker K.J. Wright didn't aggravate anything in his return from a broken foot after just six weeks.
Carroll noted that Wright's foot is sore, "but it's not bad. ... He was really excited that he didn't reinjure himself and he made it through it and performed well. So he's ready to go."
The Seahawks had a second consecutive surprise at left guard in the playoffs.
Carroll said competition at the spot remained open and that the coaching staff leaned on the side of experience when deciding to go with the pairing that had handled the position for most of the regular season.
"It's one of those deals that it's so close, the competition is so keen that it can go either way," Carroll said. "And we thought the experience would help us and didn't put too much pressure on Michael in that instance. But he's going to be very competitive as we move forward. Here goes another couple weeks, and we'll see what happens."
Seahawks cornerback Jeremy Lane appeared to be hit on the 49ers sideline Sunday when he was serving as a gunner on punt coverage. Lane was forced out of bounds, where he was then knocked to the ground by an unidentified person in street clothes.
No penalty was called.
"I think that'll be a very interesting report back from the league," said Carroll. "I was really disappointed that it didn't get called because there is an official who is on that. He was obstructed out of bounds. By intent? I don't know."
Carroll said the Seahawks noticed it during the game and complained to the officials so that it wouldn't happen again. He made it clear he felt Lane "definitely got hit."
Wright played 16 snaps in his return from a broken foot, and most of them came on the strong side in place of Bruce Irvin, not on the weak side for Malcolm Smith, who had replaced Wright following the injury.
Irvin played just 23 snaps Sunday while Smith played 51.
Asked how the versatile Wright will ease back into the linebacker mix, Carroll said the team will wait to figure it out.
"He played a lot, he played well, and I don't know that answer," Carroll said. "We don't need to know that yet, but what a great asset for us now. ... We're thrilled to have him back."

A poster for the group promoting haredi women political candidates, 'Lo nivcharot; lo bocharot,' which means, if we can't be elected, we will not vote for you.
There is a new feminist revolution happening in Israel, and it is emerging from one of the most surprising places: Ultra-Orthodoxy.
Over the past two years, ultra-Orthodox or haredi women have been organizing around feminist issues. They began with a campaign during the 2012 national elections, when a small group of women led by haredi journalist Esti Shushan and others formed a group called "Lo nivcharot; lo bocharot" (LoNiLoBo), which means, if we can't be elected, we will not vote for you. It was a call to the haredi political parties to allow women to run on their lists. The LoNiLoBo group petitioned the High Court of Justice to declare it illegal for a political party to prohibit women from running — but unfortunately they lost, and the religious parties seemed no worse for wear, considering their election results.
I know I run the risk of relinquishing some modicum of feminist street cred and incurring the wrath of all those up in arms over the situation, but here goes: I am not offended when the Hasidic gentleman next to me asks to switch his seat so he might not fly an entire flight to or from Israel next to a woman. I might think he's an extremist, and I might think he's not practicing a very halachic form of Judaism, but as for taking personal offense, so long as my uncomfortable Hasidic or Haredi male neighbor asks politely if he can switch his seat, and so long as he doesn't hold up a flight should it be impossible to find an empty seat or willing passenger ready to switch, then I have bigger things by which to be offended than his preference not to sit next to me.
I write this in response to the media frenzy surrounding Sisterhood contributor Elana Sztokman's recent account of an ultra-Orthodox male passenger delaying her flight for over half an hour while he insisted that another seat, one not next to a woman, be made available for him. Obviously, this was extremely rude, inconsiderate and the absolute wrong thing to do. But it seems that the ire this account has generated—a petition demanding El Al change its policy on accommodating those who desire a gender-segregated seat, incensed comments about the accumulated societal ills of the ultra-Orthodox and a video mocking this phenomenon, complete with offering Hasidic men a condom-like body vest to protect themselves from female neighbors—is directed more at the general practice of asking to switch seats and less so at the extremes to which this particular male passenger took it. Sztokman herself says: "What offends me is the premise that sitting next to me is a problem." The premise—not the problematic way this man expected his proclivity to be accommodated.
Bat mitzvah girl Sasha Lutt reads from a tiny Torah scroll smuggled into the Kotel / Haaretz
I am sitting in front of my computer, talking via Skype with three women in Israel — Irina Lutt, her 12-year-old daughter Sasha, and Shira Pruce — who are kicking back after a day of school and work. Sasha made history at her bat mitzvah last week when she became the first female to read Torah at the Western Wall in 25 years. The fact that she's a celebrity doesn't seem to have registered with her. "You made the New York Times!" I tell her. She looks quizzically at her mother; she has never heard of the Times.
Shira, who is translating for us and trying to get Sasha to eat something, is director of public relations for Women of the Wall (WOW), the organization that has been fighting for a quarter century to secure the rights of women to pray at the Kotel. She and Irina know what a hard-won victory this bat mitzvah was for WOW and for the rights of women in Israel.
To begin with, they had to smuggle in a tiny Torah, because women have been aggressively and sometimes violently blocked from reading Torah at the Wall. Surrounded and sheltered by a circle of women, Sasha had to use a magnifying glass to read the text. She shrugs off my comment that this must have been tough. "I knew it really well," she says.

(Haaretz) — It was supposed to be her big break after winning the Israeli version of "Big Brother." In March, Ethiopian-born model Tahounia Rubel was chosen to appear in a new ad for the April Cosmetics chain. She was to appear alongside blonde model Esti Ginzburg, who has been the chain's public face for years. However, when she arrived on set, Rubel soon realized her role would be less promising than expected.
Artistic directors at the Zarmon DDB ad agency described what would happen in the ad: Ginzburg lies on a chaise longue, the wind ruffling her light colored hair. But there's a twist: She has a maid, or a friend, who is black and polishing Ginzburg's toenails. Judging by the ad's closing words – "Set your beauty free" – it appears that whoever produced the ad intended that the hints of slavery would create a furor that would only advance the media exposure.
However, Rubel was not partner to this excitement. She refused to cooperate with the production, claiming it was insulting and humiliating. For more than an hour, producers, the director and even representatives of the ad agency tried to convince Rubel that the ad flattered her. When these attempts failed, her personal manager, Ofer Refaeli, was summoned. He told her the toenail polishing would be mutual and that Ginzburg would also do her nails as well. Only then did she agree to continue.
The April Cosmetics incident continues to reverberate here. Two weeks ago, Haaretz reported that the Walla! website pulled a story on the filming of an ad for Golf Kids, in which all the models had fair-colored hair and eyes. Three weeks prior to that, there was a report about the Education Ministry's website, which featured photos of children with light skin, hair and eyes, and who, like in the Golf Kids ad, appeared to be European (it turned out that the photos had come from an overseas database). Surfers on social networks were furious, leading to a hasty – although reserved – apology, as well a substitution of faces for photos of neutral images such as books or hands. In the past, many complaints were directed at mobile phone provider Pelephone, whose ads featured only light-skinned customers, most of whom looked Scandinavian.

(Haaretz) — Where are you for the High Holidays? If "you" refers to Orthodox Jewish men, then you get to pray in the main sanctuary, which you will enter through the main entrance. Once inside the sanctuary, you will be full participants in the service, able to see and hear all that goes on, spending the time with your sons and younger daughters.
Once your daughters reach the age of seven, they will go from "us" to "them," a threat to your delicate souls. Then they will be ushered into the women's section, where they will continue a centuries-old tradition of gender-based segregation, to put it in modern terms.
Women usually enter through a side entrance and find themselves in the less attractive section of the synagogue. At best, they may be on a separate level. At worst, they may be either pushed into a stifling corner or given an area that is open from every direction, such as a corridor, or a room that is occasionally used for storage. Once inside the women's section, you will be seated behind a divider, far away from the prayer service – the very reason you are here. In many cases, you will not be able to make eye contact with the congregation below or follow the service in your prayer book because you can hardly hear it from where you are sitting. Happy holidays.
Exemplars of segregation, exclusion
A photographic exhibition of women's sections in dozens of synagogues in Israel and abroad by architect and photographer Adva Naama Baram, entitled "In the Women's Section," opened last Thursday for the High Holiday season at the Architect's House Gallery in Jaffa. Baram photographed women's sections of various types, sizes, locations and designs that are exemplars of the pattern of segregation and exclusion. The 27 photographs in the exhibition, whose curators are architects Rivka Gutman and Eran Tamir-Tawil, speak for themselves.

Dr. Elana Maryles Sztokman, the former executive director of the Jewish Orthodox Feminist Alliance, is a leading writer and thinker on topics of feminism, Judaism, Israel and orthodoxy. Her first book, The Men's Section: Orthodox Jewish Men in an Egalitarian World, won the 2012 National Jewish Book Council Award in the area of Women's Studies. Her second book, Educating in the Divine Image: Gender Issues in Orthodox Jewish Day Schools (co-authored with Dr Chaya Rosenfeld Gorsetman), won the 2013 National Jewish Book Council award in the area of education and identity.
Next month, her latest book, The War on Women in Israel: A Story of Religious Radicalism and the Ravaging of Freedom, will be released by Sourcebooks. In a recent piece for the Atlantic, "Gaza: It's a Man's War,", Sztokman, who lives in Modi'in, Israel, looks closely at the impact of sexism in Israeli society, particularly in the context of the current Gaza war.
Chanel Dubofsky caught up with Sztokman, who said that her book was born on this blog, The Sisterhood, where she started posting stories about gender segregation in 2009, via Google's instant messaging service gchat.
Chanel Dubofsky: Set the scene for us regarding feminist activism in Israel.
Elana Sztokman: There is a lot of entrenched macho in Israeli culture. The challenge is the way in which that macho intersects with religion and the (secular) business and political establishment's support of religious radicalism for their own needs and interests. It's easy for men across the spectrum to throw women under the bus for the sake of coalition, business or money. Women are fighting this reality, to raise awareness that protecting women's rights is a basic part of democracy, and to introduce different thinking about the role of religion in Israeli society and politics. There is no separation of religion and state in Israel, which means that religious groups have had tremendous political influence over the years. Religious (male) Elana's wordsleaders have gotten away with lots of very anti-democratic stances and policies vis a vis women. It's an uphill battle, but there is definitely a growing consciousness that we are witnessing now, and there is something exciting on some level in watching a real feminist movement grow from the ground up.

There's a certain sense of overwhelming fatigue that comes from spending hours traipsing along the streets of Tel Aviv under the hot summer sun. Even my mother, who accompanied my almost 8-year-old son and me on this outing and can truly shop till she drops, started flagging. After walking a few blocks in the wrong direction, we reoriented ourselves and grabbed the No. 19 bus, which would take us back to my uncle's apartment in Rishon. I was exhausted. My mother was exhausted. My son? Still running high on his seemingly endless supply of energy. It must have been the three extra falafel balls he scarfed down at lunch.
I pulled out a notebook and pen, hoping they would keep him occupied on our 40-minute ride. The bus quickly filled up, and the seat next to him, the one across from me, was taken by an older woman who looked kindly at him. Over the next 40 minutes they formed an unlikely bond as she gave him sweets and he showed her the math tasks he'd given himself. They chatted — a mixture of halted Hebrew and English — until she got off, a few stops before us.
"I made a new friend," my son told his grandfather later that day. "I don't know her name, but she was very nice. We met on the bus."
Welcome to Israel.
The following day we decided to do it all again, because one cannot get enough of shopping in Tel Aviv — at least according to my mother. Not wanting to be too much of a burden, we had my aunt drop us off at a bus stop somewhere near Tel Aviv on her way to work. We managed to get on the right bus, but weren't quite sure when our stop was coming up. My mother and I tried to keep an eye out for it, but an excited boy who wanted to point out every last thing made it difficult. The bus rapidly filled up the closer we got to Tel Aviv. It stopped in Yaffo, and I was fairly certain the time had come to debark.
(Haaretz) — A woman named Ilanit, wearing a black bodysuit, is suspended on a rope and swinging in the air. During a routine tour of the roofs of Tel Aviv, she notices a man standing on the roof of a nearby building. "This is Nahid Abdallah-something, the second most wanted man in Jenin," Ilanit calls out. She and Nahid begin to fight, and Ilanit kicks him off the roof to his death. But then she sees that his twin brother, Fahid, the most wanted man in Jenin, is standing on a nearby roof.
Several chapters from "Ilanit, the Spider Woman from Reut," the comic book by Boaz Kadman, have been published in recent years on various platforms. Now they are being published as a book, with all the old stories appearing beside several new ones. Published a few weeks ago, the book will be on sale at the traditional annual comics fair, which opens Wednesday at the Tel Aviv Cinematheque. The fair, which is part of the 14th annual Animix Animation, Comics and Caricature Festival, runs until Saturday.
The excerpt cited above is taken from the first chapter of the book, "Ilanit vs. the Explosive Twins," the first story in the series, which was created about a decade ago. "I sorted through comics I had bought many years before and I saw that they spoke in so many cliches," Kadman says in an interview in Tel Aviv. "Then, one day, I read an interview in the political supplement of the newspaper, and the interviewee kept repeating himself, speaking in awful cliches about the historical connection to the Land of Israel — and suddenly it looked like a comic to me. What motivates the superheroes is always one very simple thing, 'the war on crime,' and political talk in Israel is the same. There's something ridiculous about political texts and superheroes." In that same moment, Kadman decided that his next comic strip was going to star political cliches alongside cliches about superstars. At the height of the battle between Ilanit and Fahid on the roofs of Tel Aviv, both contenders take a short breather. "Terrorism against Israeli citizens is a war crime," Ilanit says, and Fahid retorts, "You're continuing the occupation. You strengthened the desire for revenge. Settlements are terrorism."
Kadman, who was born in 1971, enrolled in the Midrasha School of the Arts at Beit Berl College when he was 25. "I did comics about Joseph Beuys, for example, a prominent artist who was always being mentioned to us, and to me he's something comic, really exaggerated. I did excerpts from his autobiography in Bazooka comics format and called it Bazooka Beuys." Between 2003 and 2004 Kadman published several works in the A4 Booklets of the well-known cartoonist, illustrator and comic book creator Dudu Geva. For two years Kadman had a comic strip in the art magazine Studio, and then moved to Time Out magazine. In 2001 he began editing Plan B, an alternative comics magazine, with Guy Lavie. Plan B was published every few months, and several days later it changed its format and became an online blog.

Sue-Ann Levy doesn't sound like the devil, which a 2012 headline in a Toronto publication, The Grid, suggested she might be.
In fact, the woman who picked up the phone to chat with the Forward's Michael Kaminer has a sweet, chirpy voice and an endearingly cheery manner. But these qualities belie the Toronto Sun investigative columnist's steel spine. An out lesbian and relentless advocate for Israel, Levy's also a dogged reporter whose scoops on municipal corruption and cronyism have made her both an idol and a punching bag.
Detractors have pounced on her more outrageous actions, like her 2012 tweet implying Barack Obama may be Muslim. Enemies have called her "an Internet troll, but in real life." But those jabs just seem to stoke her. "Either you love me or you hate me," she told the Forward from the home she shares with her wife, interior designer Denise Alexander, and dachshunds Kishka and Flora.

I have a twin brother who, as a kid, frequently ran around outside with a ball and his friends — usually in New York's parks. Woe to the teachers at our Jewish day school who denied them gym or recess: they acted up extra-rambunctiously when they were cooped up. One of the cardinal lessons of my childhood was this: If you don't let kids run around, everyone suffers. So that, in part, explains why the boys on the beach in Gaza proved my breaking point — boys who had been shut in for over a week and just wanted to kick a ball around, for a blessed few hours, and feel the air.

"We can't solve problems by using the same kind of thinking we used when we created them," Albert Einstein famously quipped. Yet, when it comes to the current crisis in Israel and Gaza, the same minds that created the problems seem to be the ones charged with resolving them. And those minds almost exclusively belong to men.

While people all around Israel have spent the past two weeks scrambling for cover during rocket attacks, it seems that in some places, only men's lives are considered worth protecting. In the Ashdod rabbinate building, the bomb shelter has a sign on it reading "For men only," and women who happened to be in the rabbinate during recent raids were not allowed into the bomb shelter. Thus reports MK Stav Shaffir, whose staffer happened to be at the rabbinate this week when all this was taking place.
Orit, an Ashdod resident who was also in the rabbinate this week with her husband, told Yediot Ahronot about the "insult of trying to impose gender segregation on us even at times like this," and her shocked discovery that the "women's" shelter was just a regular room, with windows and plaster walls and no indications of protection from rocket attacks. Her husband added that gender segregation has reached "insane proportions, and are now at the point of risking women's lives. The rabbinate is basically saying that it's important to them to save men's lives, but women can die or pray or hope for a miracle. It's just unbelievable".

As a photojournalist, stepping into war isn't a dilemma for me. It is my instinct to grab my cameras and run out to document the man-made misery, the horrors of war, each and every time hoping humanity will get the lesson.
But nothing prepared me to understand how to raise children in a war zone — not even having been a child in one myself.
I grew up in Gaza. When I was in school, I spent my days walking to and from class, avoiding the streets that were normally targeted by airstrikes. On my summer holiday, I stayed indoors for fear of meeting the same fate as the families who dared to visit the beach and were killed by missiles while they enjoyed their barbecue.

(Haaretz) — Lucy Aharish, the Arab-Israeli television host, woke up. Her awakening came a bit late and was not exactly aimed at the right target, but that's not the important thing. The important thing is that on Monday, the news anchor awoke from a long coma.
The previous day, Benzi Gopstein – a merry Israeli trouper from Kiryat Arba in the West Bank – was a guest on the current-affairs program she hosts on Channel 2 ("Sihat Hayom" – "Talk of the Day"). Gopstein expounded his doctrine about Arabs' place in Israeli society (according to him, they have none) and argued with the members of the panel, with the elephant standing right there in the room – in this case, the program host, an Arab woman, who sat there, doing a slow burn until she reached boiling point.

In moments like this the most powerful voices, the ones most likely to incite empathy and spark reconciliation, are not those of politicians, or military leaders or long-time activists. They are the ones of parents, most often those who have lost their children, who remind us, all too viscerally, that the personal is the political and the political is the personal.

The United States seems to be in a constant battle over reproductive health rights — take this week's Hobby Lobby ruling — particularly in regards to abortion. Both federal and state courts are wrapped up in cases challenging everything from personhood amendments, to waiting periods, mandatory ultrasounds, bufferzone laws and more. With more restrictions, the closing of clinics around the country and increased difficulty in obtaining easily accessible, affordable, safe abortions, it can feel as if the U.S. is moving backwards in terms of reproductive rights. So it's no wonder that looking out to Israel, there's a tendency to exalt their more liberal policies.
In Israel, when it comes to abortion, here is no limit on the age of gestation, no parental consent policy for minors, and abortion services are now mostly covered for all women up to the age of 33. These policies far exceed what the U.S. has to offer. Yet there is one hurdle that pregnant Israelis have to face, that the US has not — yet — implemented: a termination committee.
While the policies are incredibly liberal, being able to access them is not up to the person seeking the abortion. They have to answer questions about their circumstances before being approved. The committee is also responsible for deciding the method used. Is this illusion of choice worth it? Is it still easier than obtaining an abortion in the states?
Noga and her boyfriend
When I imagined my wedding day as an Israeli Jew, I envisioned choosing one of the alternatives to the Orthodox process. It would be a non-religious or a Reform ceremony, in which my partner and I would be treated as equal, a ceremony in I could express my love, and not stand as an empty, smiling vassal. To my disappointment, I recently learned that my partner does not share this wedding-day vision of mine.
Not long ago, we attended a wedding, and during the ceremony, I spelled out my dream to him. Then, in what turned out to be a part discussion/part argument, he told me he was not willing to skip the traditional Jewish Orthodox wedding. I explained the humiliation I feel just by thinking about all the processes I would have to go through as a Jewish woman. He said he was sorry I feel this way, but that he must put his foot down: tradition is important to him, and he was raised to respect it. The thought of this matter threatening to break us up sometime in the future was unsettling, but I just couldn't see myself choosing his path.

(JTA) — Israel is known for many things — startups, falafel, an often intractable territorial conflict — but fashion has never been one of them. A T-shirt, jeans and sandals is considered proper attire both at the workplace and at weddings. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu gained notice early in his tenure simply for wearing a tie in public. At the Knesset, at least, lawmakers aren't allowed to wear Crocs… unless they're navy or black.

(Haaretz) — When Israelis want to be warned of traffic jams ahead they check Waze, the popular crowd-sourced GPS. When they are planning their vacation, they look at hotel ratings and reviews on Tripadvisor to make sure their trip is smooth. So why shouldn't they have the benefit of crowd-sourcing when it comes to planning their journey into matrimony? That's what Rabbi Seth Farber — and Rate the Rabbinate was born.

bohning suggests you place the blazer vane 3/4 of an inch from the nock! I would also suggest you get some quality all weather glue. My favorite glue for blazer vanes is Bsi maxi cure available at Lancaster archery supply!
