Tag Archives: Conflict
If a Chicken and a Half….
If a chicken and half takes a day and a half to lay an egg and a half, and if an eastbound train leaving San Francisco travels at twice the speed of a southbound train leaving Chicago, how long will it take the organized Jewish community to argue about it and place the responsibility (blame?) on other Jews?
So if you're smiling, I understand. If not… I understand that, too, because to be honest, I am weary of the arguing and perhaps wearier still of the seemingly ceaseless effort devoted to what I call "talking about talking about it." Or in some cases, "arguing about arguing about it." Intra-faith conflict is in the news every day—here, in Israel, and elsewhere—as if we don't have enough to be concerned about from external detractors.
And to my mind, the damage it causes places Jewish life in greater peril than any, or perhaps all, of the issues being disputed.
So here are my naïve question: Has the squabbling brought us a scintilla closer to unity? Of course not. Devil's advocate question: Are we so secure in our theologies and ideologies that we are convinced that others are categorically wrong? When do our attempts at grasping and articulating the "right" way to engage the sacred devolve into hubris? And if that happens, are we truly concerned with the sacred?
Even as I write this I am hearing possible responses and bracing myself for them. Am I more right in my thinking than anyone else is in his or hers? No. I'm not trying to be. I am just trying to understand why we continue to employ failed methods of communication, kick dead horses and blame one another for the poor outcome. This is what one friend calls making ourselves right by making other people wrong.
Yes, there will always be serious differences with which we must engage. So I am reminded every day—like recently—when a man called to say that his mother, who had just died, wasn't really Jewish and neither was he. Why? Because he learned that she had been converted, before his birth, by a Reform rabbi. Now, he, who was raised in a strong Conservative life, is in the depths of an identity crisis, agonizing because he "knows" that if he wanted to make Aliyah the Orthodox would not "accept" him, period. He had lost his mother, and felt his link to the Jewish people was not valid. His grief-stricken response? Walk away from what he sees as tragic mishugas (madness).
I am not mentioning this to debate his reasoning, but rather, offering it as an example of the frustration, pain and misunderstandings that can result from a toxic combination of ignorance and ideological zeal.
So when we wonder why Jews seem detached from Jewish life… maybe it's not because our programs are at the wrong time of day, or because we do or don't have music at Shabbat services, or because our events weren't well enough advertised, or because empty-nesters are busy on Tuesdays at 2pm. Maybe we need to look a little harder at how organized Jewish life is perceived by those who have stepped away.
It is a shame, in my eyes, that we say that if anti-Semites come for us we would all be seen as Jews. Just Jews… no matter our backgrounds, line of decent, movement of lack thereof, level of observance, sexual orientation… yet it is so difficult for many to see one another as "just Jews" the best of reasons—for the sake of our present and future, so we can get on with reviving the soul of Jewish life. It is only through greater heartfelt devotion to our people, faith and tradition, than to our investment in conflict that we can attain growth.
Will it require risks? Of course. But, in my opinion, it is far riskier not to engage in these difficult conversations for the benefit of the greater cause. We may need to draw some lines in the sand, and let others be washed away. And most importantly, we need to be sure that our motivations are unquestionably positive and for the sake of healing—and holiness.

How Should We Talk About Science and Religion?
As someone who loves both religion and science, I often struggle with how they interact.
Are they in opposition to each other? Do they need to be reconciled? What happens when new scientific knowledge challenges the tenets of my faith?
Part of the difficulty in talking about science and religion is that there are several different ways we can discuss their interaction. Dr. Jennifer Wiseman, the Director of the Dialogue for Science, Ethics and Religion at the American Association for the Advancement of Science, outlined several different models in an outstanding talk. Therefore, inspired by her, I want to share four different ways we can frame the discussion about how we talk about science and religion.
The Contrast model is probably the most common way people speak about the interaction of science and religion. Often, this view is boiled down to the idea that "science deals with 'how' and religion deals with 'why.'"
Stephen Jay Gould popularized it with the phrase "Non-Overlapping Masteria" (NOMA), which he describes as follows: "The magisterium of science covers the empirical realm: what the Universe is made of (fact) and why does it work in this way (theory). The magisterium of religion extends over questions of ultimate meaning and moral value. These two magisteria do not overlap."
But there are two problems with this paradigm. First, religion has theories about what the universe is made of — for example, Jewish tradition has statements about the way the world came into being and why the world is the way it is. And science is now talking about morality and even meaning, with books like Sam Harris' The Moral Landscape about the science of morality and The Brain and the Meaning of Life by Paul Thagard about neuroscience and meaning. Thus the magesteria, in fact, do overlap.
Second, and perhaps even more importantly, it's simply not true that science talks only (or even primarily) about "how" — there's a lot of "why" in there, asking questions like, "Why is there something instead of nothing? Why do our brains work in the way that they do?" Similarly, religion doesn't talk only (or even primarily) about "why" — there's a lot of "how" in there, asking questions like, "How do did humans come to be? How should we act in this world?"
So for people who view themselves as both scientific and religious, the Contrast model often makes them comfortable. But as science enters into the realm that has historically been the purview of religion, and especially if we look more deeply at religion and at science, this model stops working very well.
The Concert model is the opposite of the Contrast model, as people try to directly reconcile science and religion. It is another attractive outlook to those who are both dedicated to their faith and committed to reason, since it means they would not have to reject either. This model makes claims such as the concept of a "day" in Genesis may actually be billions of years, or that the crossing of the Red Sea was actually finding a swamp that could be crossed at low tide.
But here, too, there are problems with this view. After all, science is always changing, discovering new data and revising theories. If science and religion are in concert, what happens to religious faith when new scientific evidence arises? Indeed, not only physics and biology but also human sciences such as archaeology, political science and history are helping us understand who we are, why we do what we do, and our place in the universe. So if religious faith is based on science, what happens when science presents new evidence?
Indeed, this model makes it hard to do a critical analysis of Biblical texts, and that type of study frequently leads to a crisis of faith. In order for it to work, this model requires significant mental gymnastics, and forces people to maintain only a surface understanding of both science and religion.
So while this view may be appealing at first, it is actually quite fragile. All that needs to happen is for science to discover something that contradicts a deeply-held belief, and people will easily elect either atheism or fundamentalism.
The Conflict model is the paradigm that gets the most press, and it claims that religion and science are inherently incompatible. It's the idea that if you buy into one, you must reject the other. This worldview is exemplified by Richard Dawkins and Christopher Hitchens on one side, and people who deny evolution because it contradicts the Bible on the other.
But while this outlook generates the most passion from people on the extremes, there are a vast number of people who do not buy into it.
An article in the Huffington Post describes recent work by sociologist Elaine Ecklund, who
…interviewed 275 tenured and tenure-track faculty members from 21 research universities in the United States. Only 15 percent of respondents said religion and science were always in conflict, while 15 percent said the two were never in conflict. The majority, 70 percent, said religion and science are only sometimes in conflict.
Similarly, a study from Pew Research Forum showed that "a solid majority of Americans (61%) say that science does not conflict with their own religious beliefs. Even among those who attend worship services at least once a week, a slim majority (52%) sees no conflict between science and their faith."
Thus while zealous advocates on each side often dominate the discussion, there is a large silent majority who do not see science and religion as inherently in conflict.
The bigger problem is that while the Conflict model produces a lot of heat, it rarely creates light. It regularly devolves into unproductive arguments and ad hominem attacks, and causes both scientists and religious people to become either overly aggressive or feel themselves to be "victims" of the other side.
So even though for some people, this is an outlook they hold strongly to, it is much more likely to shut down conversations than to open them.
This is the outlook that I find most resonant. In this model, science and religion can remain in their own spheres, but when it is appropriate, they can also mutually inform each other, and provide us with a variety of ways to help us know what it means to be human. Indeed, its great value is that it reminds us that both religion and science have to be understood in the context of human experiences, because both religion and science are human endeavors.
The Contact model reminds us that science is not independent of the scientists who pursue their field of inquiry. After all, while the universe may be 13.7 billion years old, and humans may have evolved on the African savannah, it has only been since modern times that human beings have sought to undertake a rigorous understanding of fields like cosmology, paleontology, psychology, neuroscience and biochemistry. We have to remember that not only does scientific knowledge provide information, it is deeply influenced by the passions, the curiosity and the personal experiences of the scientists who pursue it.
Similarly, our own personal experiences influence our religious outlook. People's feelings about religion are naturally affected by how they were raised and what has happened in their own lives. In the words of Rabbi Laura Geller, "All theology is autobiography." And while religion is older than science, it is still a human creation, helping us structure our human experiences, and asks deeply human questions like, "How should I act? What should I value? Who should I choose to associate with?"
When we place science and religion in the context of human experiences, we recognize that both science and religion are driven by human needs and are victim to human foibles. The Contact model thus encourages humility in both science and religion, reminding both sides that there are things we do not know, and things we will never know.
So the other crucial piece to bear in mind for the Contact model is that "religion" and "God" are two separate things. "God" is bigger than any one human being or group of people; "religion" is our particular attempt to understand God, and is necessarily limited. As Rabbi Abraham Joshua Heschel taught: "[R]eligion for religion's sake is idolatry…The human side of religion, its creeds, its rituals and instructions is a way rather than the goal. The goal is 'to do justly, to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God.' (Micah 6:8)" (I Asked for Wonder, 40-41)
So for those of us who feel connected to God, when we forget that religion is not Divine, but human, we can easily fall into the trap of arrogance and narrow-mindedness. Micah thus reminds us that justice, mercy and humbleness are truly the most important values.
Indeed, our ultimate purpose in life is to strengthen ourselves, both as individuals and as a society. Science does that by giving us a fuller understanding of the world, by advancing knowledge, and by examining the relationship between theory and evidence. Religion does that by giving us a sense of purpose, by strengthening communities, and by giving us a potential glimpse of the Divine.
When we remember that both science and religion are human enterprises, we can remember that the most important question isn't whether they need to be viewed separately, or if they can be reconciled, or if they are inherently in conflict.
The most important question is: how are they being used?

Easy Go Green Cup Cozy
By: M.E. HARRINGTON
We are adding the pattern to your Crochet Patterns.
The pattern was added to your Crochet Patterns.
Click here to view your Crochet Patterns.
This cup cozy is great for beginners. The steps are very easy and it can be made in only four steps. This cozy fits most takeout cups and will keep your hands toasty.
- Knitting worsted yarn
- Crochet Hook, size 5.5mm (US I-9)
- Buttons
- Yarn needle
- Chain 11, single crochet in the 2nd stitch from the hook, and in each stitch of the chain.
- Chain 1 and turn, single crochet in each stitch across the row, working in the back side of the stitch only. (Working in the back side of the stitch means: in crochet, every stitch, when viewed from the top, has two sides. Insert the hook through the back side of the stitch only. This produces a ribbing stitch.)
- Repeat row 2 until the rectangle measures 8 inches. Bring the first row completed, and the last row completed together, and slip stitch closed to form a tube.
- Sew buttons of your choice to the cup cozy. Weave all the yarn ends into the finished work.

This is a simple but cute way to decorate a travel mug and makes a great gift idea,especially paired with a ceramic travel mug and tea/coffee for a loved one! :) I had fun making this.
A year ago Three Rivers Crochet (in Pittsburgh, a CGOA Chapter) hosted a fundraiser at the suggestion of one of our members who was about to celebrate her 50th anniversary. She asked us to make coffee cup cozies, of the style shown in this pattern, that she would purchase to use as gifts for the men attending her 50th anniversary celebration (she already had crocheted pins for the women). She donated the purchase cost to TRC for our charities: Rwanda Knits and local VA programs. We had great fun trying out patterns in crochet and knit! I also make cozies with bottoms from plarn to use with soft drink or beer cans. They work really well and keep your hand from getting cold and/or wet.

Letters to the Editor
...I read the article "Is Linux Reliable Enough?", by Phil Hughes in the July 1997 issue. Mr. Hughes indicated that SSC is using Slackware 96, but is changing to the Debian distribution. Here are a few questions:
1. Why are you considering a change to Debian?; 2. Is there a problem with the Slackware 96 distribution?3. What are the advantages/disadvantages of Debian?4. What are the advantages/disadvantages of Slackware 96 and other versions?
I would also like to see articles on the following if it is possible:
1. Comparing the RDBMS products such as Solid, Empress, mSQL, Postgress and etc products.2. Comparing the Motif and other GUI development tools such as Xforms.3. Many articles stressing the important uses of Linux in the Real World —Edmund P. Morgan Senior Software Analyst firstname.lastname@example.com
While Slackware has been reliable, its upgrade management tools are lacking. Debian (and Red Hat) offer an installation system that includes dependencies. In addition, Debian offers a menu choice to upgrade all installed packages. When you are managing the software on 25 systems, good configuration management can save you substantial amounts of time. We are planning to do an article comparing the various distributions next year in our June issue.
You must be reading our Editorial calendar for next year: our focus for the February 1997 issue is databases, for March, it is GUIs and for April, it is Business Solutions. In past issues we have done reviews of most of the databases as well as addressing GUI development tools; we have also covered Tcl/Tk and Xforms and present a monthly "Linux Means Business" column. —Phil Hughes, Publisher firstname.lastname@example.com
I was on your web page and saw the cover for the October Education issue. I was a college professor when I felt my life most had meaning, and because of that, I always enjoy working with college students. Your cover brought that feeling home to me again.
It looks like a good issue, and I expect to enjoy reading it. —Jon "maddog" Hall firstname.lastname@example.com
Yesterday I received my first issue of Linux Journal in my mailbox. I have not put it down since. This is the best source of information for Linux I have found. I run a production Linux network/Internet site, and I am always looking for information about new tools and other Linux information. LJ has already helped me solve the problem of how to monitor my Linux servers. I've been using Linux since 0.99.something and have completely converted from other partial Unices. Keep up the good work. The only thing I can see that would help LJ is if it came out once a week instead of once a month. I can dream... —Darren Young email@example.com
My parents just left with two copies of Linux Journal (#38 and #39, #40 appeared in the mail today)--in spite of the fact that up until now, they have only used MS-DOS for their computing needs.
In Dutch we have this proverb: "Je bent nooit te oud om te leren"--you're never too old to learn. So, who knows ... —Toon Moene, The Netherlands firstname.lastname@example.com
After reading Mr. Temple's letter to the Editor in the August 1997 issue, I must disagree. The popularity of Linux has exploded in the past year, not because of people who want to see how a true preemptively-multi-tasked operating system works, but because people want to use this operating system to accomplish tasks (i.e., real work).
I can find my way around a kernel; in fact, hacking the Minix kernel was required in my Operating Systems class in college. However, my main interest in using Linux is to do my job. To that end, I've used Linux on a surplus 386 SX/20 to build a company firewall/gateway and e-mail server/router. Using IP masquerading, sendmail and a few custom Perl scripts, this throw-away machine is now responsible for routing both incoming and outgoing e-mail and for firewalling our Intranet over a single dynamic PPP line. To me and to a lot of other readers of LJ, networking is the main draw to Linux. One of the beauties of Linux is that it has something for everybody.
Keep "Kernel Korner"--I read it—but keep on including the networking articles. Linux is too diverse for LJ to resemble PC Magazine. —T.J. Harrell III email@example.com

NyQuil Multi-Symptom - Does it help for stomach flu?

Stomach flu treatment has not been documented, generally it is used for relieving symptoms of pain, sinus congestion, runny nose, sneezing, and cough due to colds, upper respiratory infections, and allergies.
However it may also be used for other conditions as determined by your doctor, do talk with him/her for more details, please.
NyQuil Multi-Symptom is a decongestant, antihistamine, cough suppressant, and analgesic combination. It works by constricting blood vessels and reducing swelling in the nasal passages. The antihistamine works by blocking the action of histamine, which helps reduce symptoms such as watery eyes and sneezing. The analgesic and cough suppressant work in the brain to decrease pain and to reduce dry or unproductive cough.

However, take care & be well.

It's a great pack- the back mesh panel is really nice for keeping the sweat off your back and the zipper entry from the front is super awesome. My only complaints are that there aren't many places to attach things(helmet, shoes, etc.) I suppose this should have been pretty obvious to me from the picture. The other thing is it's a bit bulky and I'm not sure how I'll feel when I actually have to climb with it. Bottom line- if you're looking for a nice crag pack/general hiking pack this is definitely the one for you, and I would highly recommend it for that purpose. However, if you want a technical pack for climbing I might look elsewhere.

Broadway's 'A Time to Kill' to close this month
NEW YORK (AP) - After some critical roasting and a constant box office slump, "A Time to Kill" will soon die on Broadway.
Producers of the courtroom drama, adapted from the best-selling novel by John Grisham, said Wednesday they'll close the show after the Nov. 17 performance.
The play centers on the mid-1980s trial of a black man accused of killing the two white men who attacked his daughter.
The cast includes Sebastian Arcelus, Tom Skerritt, John Douglas Thompson, Fred Dalton Thompson, Patrick Page, Tonya Pinkins and Ashley Williams.
It opened Oct. 20 to poor reviews and last week was half full and grossed just $215,431 of its $693,936 potential.

Wednesday, February 12, 3 pm ET, The Halli Casser-Jayne Show will talk to Lawrence Silver, the man who for 35 years has served as Samantha Geimer's attorney, friend and confident and is the co-author of the true story of 13-year old Geimer's rape by the famous Hollywood director as revealed in the memoir The Girl, A life in the Shadow of Roman Polanski.
Attorney Lawrence Silver has had a front-row seat to one of the most controversial and complex legal cases of our day: "Jane Doe vs. Roman Polanski," the rape charges brought against the Academy Award-winning Hollywood director of such noted films as Chinatown and Rosemary's Baby.
Silver found himself embroiled in the most sensational rape cases of a generation, taking on a powerful Hollywood celebrity, as well as one of the most sympathetic. Polanski, a Holocaust survivor, had recently lost his eight-and-a-half month pregnant wife, the beautiful actress Sharon Tate, brutally murdered by The Manson Family.
Like the current drama sitting front and center in the tabloids, the accusations of rape by Dylan Farrow against her notorious father Woody Allen, the case argued became celebrity vs. alleged victim.

Guest: Franckie Diago/Prod Designer/Carnage-Polanski
in Movies
Some of the world's most fascinating actors and creative directors have moved through the beautiful and disturbing environments which production designer Franckie Diago has designed and decorated. Contemporary sets which bear her mark include: Roman Polanski's contemporary Carnage (2011), starring Jodie Foster and Kate Winslet; City Island (2009) which won the Tribeca Film Festival's Audience Award and starred Andy Garcia and Julianna Margulies; Bernard and Doris (2006) starring Susan Sarandon as the heiress Doris Duke and Ralph Fiennes as her butler. The depth of her understanding of and respect for the past can be seen in such films as Laurent Canet's Vers le sud (2005), starring Charlotte Rampling, in which Diago created Haiti of the late 1970s and The Wide Sargasso Sea which put Rachel Ward and Michael York in Jamiaca, circa 1800. her wide range of credits includes Bertrand Tavernier's Oscar nominated Coup de Torchon (1983) starring Phillipe Noiret and Isabelle Huppert; The Man from Elysian Fields (2001) starring Andy Garcia, Mick Jagger and Julianna Margulies and the Caesar Award winning documentary The Beaches of Agnès.

Baldwin/McCullough Radio: "Obama's Communism, Polanski & Letterman"
IN HOUR ONE: Would it be possible for modern America to slip into a Soviet Style existence? Many Americans believe the socialist trends in America bode exactly that. But what about someone coming from the opposite perspective? What about someone who spent his whole life in the throws of Communism seeking the freedoms of America? Well we will ask one, Leon Weinstein, author of the new book, "Looking for Hugh: The Capitalist Guidebook." Look for this to be a no-holds-barred discussion on the condition of America, and the direction she is headed from someone who came to her for what she represented. You will be invited to join the conversation from the beginning--800.345.9622.
IN HOUR TWO: Sexual Indiscretions and Hollywood types... if the crime was 30 years ago Hollywood says, "let it go..." If the liason occurs with your employee, but you're the top rated late night show, then you come out and have a laugh about it. So the question becomes, "Has the day passed us by completely when restraint, self-control, and doing the right thing is impossible?" After all most of Hollywood wants Polanski to get a bye for the crime simply because it happened 30 years ago, even if it was the rape and sodomy of a thirteen year old girl. 800.345.9622. Maybe we're missing something, you tell us if we are tonight. 800.345.9622.

Prison roof in Texas collapses, 19 inmates injured
Authorities say the roof of a privately run East Texas prison has collapsed, temporarily trapping dozens of inmates and sending 19 injured inmates to hospitals
Associated Press
DIBOLL, Texas — Authorities say the roof of a privately run East Texas prison has collapsed, temporarily trapping dozens of inmates and sending 19 injured inmates to hospitals.
One of those inmates was later airlifted to Memorial Hermann Hospital in Houston after the Saturday collapse at Diboll Correctional Center, about 100 miles northeast of Houston. Neither his identity nor his condition has been released.
In a statement, a prison spokesman said the other inmates suffered cuts and bruises when wallboard fell from the ceiling of a housing area at the prison about 11:30 a.m.
Spokesman Issa Arnita said 86 inmates were in the area when the ceiling material fell. He said officials are trying to determine the cause.
The 518-bed minimum-security facility is operated by Centerville, Utah-based Management & Training Corp.

Age? Well, I'm not supposed to reveal that, but a sure sign I'm on the downhill slope is that lately I've been hearing my favorite songs played in elevators. I'm a Virgo-compromised female, very disciplined and have a strict regimen that I adhere to: I write four hours a day, play golf four hours a day, quilt for a couple hours, and watch Seinfeld reruns; these tasks are accomplished whenever the
I have traveled the world writing about my experiences in foreign countries such as Iran (very foreign), Thailand (very happy), as well as non-foreign places like New Orleans (very kinky), Orange County, CA. (very last week), and Lake Chelan, Washington (very old-world-lovely). I am married, have had four children who gave me nine grandchildren--a compensation I like to think for growing old.

I've amassed numerous awards for my writing and poetry, among them the prestigious Southern California Writer's Conference First Place Award for "Best Nonfiction" for A Broad Abroad, as well as First Place in their inaugural Poetry Award.

I attended Cerritos College Creative Writing Program, and College of the Desert Journalism and Magazine Writing programs, plus I have a clothes hamper full of writing accolades, certificates, degrees and rejection slips.My first book, A Broad Abroad in Thailand won First Place in National Indy Excellence Awards, as well as Silver in Forword's Book of the Year Contest.

A Broad Abroad in Thailand: An Expat's Misadventures in The Land of Smiles
A Broad Abroad in Thailand follows a newlywed expat as she tries to settle into her new home and a life full of unforeseen challenges. Soon after her arrival in this exotic land, her problems begin: as she tries to learn the subtleties of the eastern squat toilet; then the fatal auto accident on the deadly highway that should have taken her life; to the final insult—bladder surgery by an inscrutable Thai doctor who decides to restore her virginity, while an intolerant nurse is after her with a vengeance─and an enema tube.
She leaves the hospital A.M.A. (Against Medical Advise) and then must be medivac'd back to the States with her catheter tube swaying in the breeze.
As if that's not enough to slow down even the most determined of women, she must also deal with her new husband's insatiable testosterone level─a textbook case of sexual fixation. Interwoven throughout her day-to-day life is the undercurrent of absolute control and jealousy perpetrated by a most unlikely source: the boss's wife, Ms. Anorexia, who manipulates the wives of the employees with her need to control every aspect of their lives: from shopping, to entertainment, to friends.
An unflagging sense of humor helps her through most obstacles, in a land whose people she has come to respect and admire, through times of seemingly insurmountable challenges.
A Broad Abroad in Thailand
About the author
Next book: A Broad Abroad in Iran: One Strappy-Sandaled Foot Ahead of the Mullahs.
It's July, 1977, in Esfahan, Iran, one year before the bloody start of the revolution, and two years before the U.S. Embassy take-over, when expatriate Dodie Cross finds herself in a strange world, somewhere between the Old Testament and the Space Age.
Her life takes on twists and turns as she tries to acclimate to the soaring changes in temperature and altitude, culture and attitude. She suffers indignities as she's pinched on the bum at the bazaar; grabbed on the breast by a motorcycle passenger - who doesn't let go for a block - as she crosses the street with her arms weighted down with groceries; chased and rocked by angry country dwellers as she soars down a whitewater river in a raft, and comes across the stoning of an adulterous woman in a place she should never have been: the bowels of the bazaar.
In 1978 she takes a job as secretary to the head of Security at Bell Helicopter, and soon learns of the civil unrest in the capital as thousands of fist-waving radicals gather in the streets screaming for the removal of the Shah and death to Americans.
As the riots escalate in her small town, and martial law brings in tanks, she knows it's time to leave. Her wake-up call is a Polaroid that comes across her desk picturing a fire-bombed bus with bodies lying about - the same type of bus that would be transporting her children to school in one month. She tries to convince her husband and his company friends of the danger, but they disregard her fears as paranoia, while the company offers the men a ten-thousand dollar bonus to stay on for another year.
She handles most things thrown her way, but as the revolution becomes a reality, and her children are in danger, she gives her husband an ultimatum: "Stay here, or leave with me. Either way, I'm outta here."

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Mennonites return good for evil in town
Expelled in Soviet era, they're back to help
When some Mennonites arrived in the Ukrainian village of Molochansk in 2000, local people were suspicious.
In the Russian Revolution and Second World War, the 80,000 Mennonites living in Ukraine were completely displaced: killed, or shipped to Siberian gulags, where scores died; relocated to the eastern Soviet Union, especially Kazakhstan; or escaped to the West. Mennonite buildings, but not Mennonites, are all that remain in the farming town of Molochansk, as in most other former colonies in southeastern Ukraine.
So Ukrainians feared the Mennonites wanted to reclaim the land. Instead, the visitors purchased and restored a former maedchenschule (a girls' high school) the Mennonites once ran and called it the Mennonite Centre. (Full disclosure: My maternal grandmother went to the school. Russia generally didn't let women attend high school, but Mennonite colonies were allowed to run their own education system.)
Then the returning Mennonites launched a benevolent society from the former school, offering social services to the poor, which included just about all the 8,000 people living today in Molochansk (formerly called Halbstadt).
Alcoholism is endemic here on a scale most of us can't imagine. Unemployment is at acrophobic highs. Corruption is rampant, a relic of the Soviet Union years. The average monthly salary is $100 to $150. One of the programs the Mennonites launched paid for eye exams and eyewear so people could see.
For a group called Friends of the Mennonite Centre in Ukraine, it's about giving back, but it's also about not forgetting. The group is more cultural than religion-based, although faith imbues their charity.
With a budget of $200,000 to $300,000, the Mennonite Centre approves a couple hundred small projects each year. A little seed money can go a long way in Ukraine.
One project built a specialized bike for a youth named Sasha. Sasha lost both arms when he touched a live wire while collecting copper wire for salvage to support his mother. The centre also had a computer built that Sasha can operate with his toes. Another project helped fund a local youth's enrolment in medical school. Numerous projects have helped people with cancer buy chemotherapy drugs. And so on.
Some regular programs include a free lunch for seniors two or three times a week. It's often the only time some people eat meat or cheese. The centre hosts a weekly mom's morning out or will charter a bus for an outing at the beach. It supplies coal so widows can heat their homes in winter. There have been second-hand clothing drives in Canada for the centre.
"My mom grew up in (Molochansk) and I have all these stories rattling around in my head, and I try to put places to them when I'm over there," said Alvin Suderman, who will depart shortly with wife, Mary, for another three-month stint running the centre. The eight board members, three from Winnipeg, take turns managing the centre, which employs six full-time staff, including a night watchman to guard against break-ins.
One employee is a cook who makes "exactly the same meals as our mothers cooked. Our Mennonite foods are all from the Ukraine," said board member and co-founder Rudy Friesen, who runs architectural firm ft3 (formerly Friesen Tokar) and authored Building on the Past: Mennonite Architecture, Landscape and Settlements in Russia/Ukraine. Harry Giesebrecht is the third Manitoba director.
Friesen said one can tell the Mennonite buildings by their Flemish bond-brick pattern: brickwork alternates from lengthwise (stretchers) to widthwise (headers). Friesen would like to see a museum in the area dedicated to the Mennonite colonies, and a hostel to accommodate more Mennonites for visits and volunteerism.
"There is a huge level of appreciation today" from Molochansk residents, Friesen said. The group's fundraising includes annual varenecki and farmer-sausage dinners, concerts and donations. For more information, see mennonitecentre.ca.

My kegs are ay maximum capacity and I have a good pipeline going. So I'd like to bottle my next beer and just let it sit incase I run out mid summer. Does anyone have a good recommendation for one that would get better with age and good for the summer. Maybe an Irish Red.
I have Cream Ale, Orange and coriander wheat beer, and moose drool on tap now and Chinook IPA being brewed this week.
I always like to let my amber ale age a couple months before diving in. Of course, since you're bottling, a nice belgian dubbel would be appropriate.
-BrianTap 1: Flanders Brown Tap 2: Pumpkin Ale Tap 3: Rye IPA Tap 4: Wee Heavy Tap 5: Apfelwein
Fermenting: Amber Ale
Kegged: Barrel-Aged Barleywine, Barleywine, RIS,
Lagering: Märzen
My irish red did well and is currently still good about a year later now. As well as most of my other ones still sitting.Being the time to brew irish beer before march you may find you run out of those quckly.
Depends what you want like session beers ?-make some4- 5%ers, maybe a Saison if you like those or i think amber or a imperial-double rye or red? Get some oxy caps thats what i do with half of mine bottled because they usually sit all year and i just rotate and drink them time to time with the pipeline. The ones with the oxycaps are those that sit over 6 months usually.
Maybe a Belgian Tripel or a Saison. Both are beers that can age out nicely. You can amke a lower gravity Saison and it would be a nice refreshing summer brew.

One other thing to consider is to circumnavigate Saltspring Island. I did it in a week with my young family two years ago. ( it was my daughters'' first sailing experience (at the time 5 and 7) and they had an absolute blast.
We reserved marinas for most of the evenings, tied up to a mooring ball once or twice, and made sure the kids were on the beach at three pm at the latest. It was relaxing, beautiful and altogether a fantastic experience. We started in Sidney and the first marina on Saltspring can be reached in a few very short hours. Saltspring is also the most "developed" Island with an eclectic and "artsy" population and small towns, which your wife will enjoy.
Just another thought...
