One of the things about the PNW is that it is always, seemingly, wet. And one of the things I learned from a former 'teams buddy is that running, or murky, water is a GREAT place to hide things.
Baja Bags by SEAL LINE are awesome and come in a varity of sizes. This one was the largest size that was available when I bought a couple.
The idea behind it is that you can put all sorts of stuff inside, seal it up nice and water tight, then you can submerge gear in a river or just offshore, as a worse case, or just plain keep some valuable stuff around camp dry ( light fire starting gear and some socks )
The bags roll up pretty small, are a very durable type of vinyl/plastic and work really well once they are properly sealed.
Last but not least, here is a little trick I learned from a guy I know.
If you are in camp and need light for reading or what have you, grab yourself a can of soda and open it like so.
On the bottom of the inside of the can, between the flaps, place a small candle.
Fold the tab up on the top and suspend the can with some string or paracord or what have you.
As the wind blows, the fins keep the can stable and the light from going out. It will swing, but the fins will not allow the wind to blow the candle out, which is quite nice.
You KNOW you want to give this a try tonight.....
Now this is some valuable stuff.
I had never considered hiding stuff in water. Nice.
I've got the standard magnesium block/flint firestarter, never let me down yet.
I keep at least one rat trap, P.M. me, and if I determine you aren't psycho or a ninja, I'll tell you why.
Does anyone have anything better than 550/paracord?
Benning, you mentioned a flash light....I give you an inexpensive yet durable LED light worth 110 lumens.Walmart.com: Coleman Cree XLamp XR-E LED Flashlight, 2 "AA": Camping
I've got one in my hunting bag with a red and blue light as well, 60 hour running time with the red light. Best of all it uses AAA batteries which can be found anywhere.
JD, great posts! Lots of good information there.

Television: MWN. Home Record: CSU 14-6, USU 13-5. Away Record: CSU 2-9, USU 4-7. Neutral Record: CSU 0-0, USU 0-1. Conference Record: CSU 7-11, USU 7-11. Series Record: Utah State leads, 54-35. GAME NOTES: A pair of teams with identical conference records take part in the opening round of the 15th annual Mountain West Conference Tournament, as the Colorado State Rams and the Utah State Aggies battle at the Thomas & Mack Center in Las Vegas. Eighth-seeded Utah State is not accustomed to being so far down in the pecking order when it comes to conference tournament play, having won a total of eight tourney titles (six as a member of the Big West and two in the Western Athletic), but this is the first year in the MWC for the Aggies. One of the most successful programs in college basketball over the last decade, USU was all over the map in terms of consistency, or lack thereof, this season. However, on a positive note, the Aggies did close out the regular season with consecutive wins over San Jose State and Wyoming. As for the ninth-seeded Rams, champions of this event back in 2003 when they defeated UNLV, they have a record in the tournament of 9-13 and have not made it back to the title game in the last decade. This season the squad was up- and-down, winning just two times in the final seven games on the schedule, with one of those victories coming against a woeful San Jose State group. The relationship between these two teams dates back to the 1925-26 campaign and is under the control of the Aggies who own a 54-35 edge. Utah State swept a pair of regular-season meetings, posting a 57-50 win in Logan in the middle of January and then handing the Rams a 71-62 setback a month later in Fort Collins. The survivor of today's battle will be back in action on Thursday in the quarterfinals versus top-seeded and nationally-ranked San Diego State. The Rams have four players who started all 31 games during the regular season, with J.J. Avila with 16.8 ppg, although Daniel Bejarano pushed him hard with 16.7 ppg. Avila, who was named to the All-MWC Third Team, led the group with 109 assists and was second on the glass with 7.5 rpg, while Bejarano accounted for another 99 assists and 8.4 rpg. Bejarano, a member of the All-MWC Second Team, knocked down a team-best 61 3-pointers, but that didn't exactly make up for the fact that he shot just 37.4 percent from the floor overall. As a whole, Colorado State delivered 73.5 ppg, but in allowing opponents to connect on 36.8 percent beyond the arc, the highest in the league, the Rams saw their scoring advantage come in a little under four points per contest. The Aggies got off on the right foot in 2013-14 with five straight wins and victories in 10 of the first 12 outings, but their consistency was challenged over the final two months as they came in under .500 in conference play. USU managed to lead the league in 3-point shooting at 40.7 percent, but still victories were not always easy to come by. Spencer Butterfield (13.3 ppg) and Preston Medlin (12.6 ppg) both connected on 67 attempts from 3-point range, the former also clearing 6.2 rpg, while the latter handed out a team-high 125 assists. Jarred Shaw, who was named All-MWC Honorable Mention with Butterfield, finished as the top scorer in terms of average with 14.4 ppg and was also first with 8.5 rpg, even as he missed some games during the campaign. You can be sure that Bejarano will be cranked up for this meeting, hoping to return the favor from both of those losses to USU during the season. However, the Rams are not the most disciplined group, which is something that should certainly work in favor of Aggies today.

ETSU suffers painful loss at Kennesaw State
For the first two months of the season, the ETSU baseball team was the top fielding club in the Atlantic Sun Conference; however, things have taken a turn for the worse over the past two weeks for the Bucs.
For the 11th time in 12 games, the Blue and Gold committed an error as two miscues resulted in six unearned runs and Kennesaw State rallied for a 9-5 series-clinching win over ETSU on Saturday afternoon at Stillwell Stadium.
A throwing error by Clinton Freeman led to the Owls scoring the first run of the game in the third inning, while a one-out fielding error by Trey York in the fifth resulted in a five unearned runs coming in, as Kennesaw State erased a three-run deficit to secure its 10th straight win.
ETSU built its three-run lead by scoring four in the fourth and tacked on one more in the top of the fifth to go up, 5-2. Unfortunately, the Blue and Gold couldn't minimize the damage from the error in the bottom of the frame and Kennesaw State capitalized in a painful way for the Bucs.
Chris Cook and Kevin Phillips fueled the scoring plays in the fourth and fifth innings as they combined to go 4-for-8 with four RBI. Cook, who has now hit safely in 10 straight games, went 2-for-5 with two RBI, while Phillips finished 2-for-3 with one double, one walk, one run and two RBI. Sophomore Jeremy Taylor also extended his hit streak to 11 consecutive games, courtesy of a double in the fourth.
Jimmy Nesselt saw his run of three straight winning decisions come to an end as he suffered the loss (5-4) despite allowing just one earned run (seven total) on nine hits in six innings of work.
The Bucs have now lost three straight games and dipped to 20-21, 8-8 in A-Sun play, and the surging Owls improved to 24-20, 10-9.
Both pitchers were dealing early, but Freeman's throwing error in the third led to Kennesaw State taking a 1-0 lead. Despite Nesselt retiring nine of the first 11 Owl hitters he faced, Kennesaw State was able to strike first as Matt Bahnick led off the inning with a bloop single to left-center and later scored on the error.
With one out and Bahnick on second, Nesselt induced Kal Simmons into a groundout to short, and after Bahnick broke to third, Freeman tried to make a play but his throw was wide of the bag, resulting in the Kennesaw runner to score.
The Bucs quickly answered back as the Blue and Gold scored four runs in the top of the fourth to grab a 4-1 lead. The first three ETSU hitters reached to start the big inning as Tyler Roach led things off with a five-pitch walk and scored on Phillips' double to left, while the Buccaneer designated hitter came home on Jordan Sanford's single to center. From there, Kennesaw State looked to have regrouped as Travis Bergen forced York to fly out to left and the Owl left-hander picked off Sanford as he tried to steal second.
However, ETSU's two-out clutch hitting came alive as Gage Downey singled and Taylor extended his hitting streak with a double down the left field line, which putter runners in scoring position for Cook. The Kingsport, Tenn., native delivered with a key two-run scoring single to left to put the Bucs ahead by three runs.
Kennesaw State led off the bottom half of the fourth inning with a solo home run by Max Pentecost, but with one out and a runner on first, Nesselt got out of the frame by forcing Brennan Morgan to hit into an inning-ending 6-4-3 double play, keeping ETSU ahead, 4-2.
ETSU got the run back in the top of the fifth when Chris Riopedre led off with a single to right-center and scored on Phillips' RBI single to left, but things drastically changed in the bottom of the inning as the Owls scored five unearned runs to regain a 7-5 lead.
With one out and a runner on second, York's fielding error at second allowed Bahnick to reach, while Simmons' fly out to right would've ended in the inning. Instead, it scored the first run of the frame and allowed the flood gates to open as the Owls scored four more runs. Bo Way drove in a pair with single to left and Alex Liquori's two-RBI triple to left-center capped off the scoring for Kennesaw State.
The Bucs were unable to recover from the gut-wrenching blow as the Owls bullpen held ETSU scoreless on one hit in the final 4.2 innings of the contest.
For insurance purposes, Kennesaw State added two runs in the seventh to build its four-run lead.
Nathan Harsh began the scoreless run for the Owls' bullpen and earned the win (3-3) after allowing one hit in 2.1 innings. From there, James Connell (1.1 IP) and Justin McCalvin (1.0 IP) held the Blue and Gold hitless for the remainder of the afternoon.
Offensively, the Kennesaw State totaled 13 hits as Jacob Bruce and Bahnick combined for seven hits and four runs. Bruce went a 4-for-5 with two runs scored and Bahnick totaled three hits and scored twice. Pentecost finished with a pair of hits and scored three runs.

Eglantyne - 2 pics
I thought long and hard before I decided against Eglantyne in favor of Evelyn. Eglantyne stays a manageable size in my friend's garden and puts out whopping blooms that resemble a peony.
Eglantyne - Austin'84
Eglantyne is also one of my favourites. What are the perennials you associate with it ? Malva ?
The silver foliage is also a good idea of association with light pink roses.
Here is a link that might be useful: A Little Bit of Paradise
iris girl, I love the form and color of Eglantyne. The second shot is simply stunning!
I agree with Isabelle the silver foliage goes very well with this rose. Great combination of plants! Could you tell me what the name is of the plant with the silver foliage? Thanks!
Beautiful pictures! I wonder what the purple plant is in the background of the first shot...
Thank you for the nice comments!
The grey leafed plant is the common Dusty Miller (Senecio cineraria) that is sold in pony pacs. It grows very quickly and needs cutting back periodically for the foliage to be of the proper height to flatter the rose.
In the first picture a wisteria has grown madly and is casting more shade these 2 years past. Too much for good bloom! I don't think this rose is a candidate for shade :-(
Campanula medium (cup and saucer) in the top picture between Eglantyne and Our Lady of Guadalupe (who is getting a proper amount of sun).
Isobelle ~ she's never grown Malva. There are several Salvias, a marguerite bush, statice, rose campion (Lychnis), daylilies and whatever annuals strike her fancy. She's always trying new things so from one year to the next it's a surprise. The prettiest spring annual with the pink roses is Cineraria stellata. Impossible to find in nurseries here. Excellent re-seeder.
Iris Gal, thanks for letting me know about the name of the gray leafed companion plant plus the additional cultivation tip. I guess sooner or later Dusty Miller will move into my yard, too ;-)! I think it will go very well with some of my pink roses.
RoseMeadow --- I badly wanted a button-eyed rose. For my limited space Eglantyne made more sense but the pictures of Evelyn finally swayed me. I knew I'd be disappointed by using photos as a criteria and I'd replace her with Eglantyne. Instead I'm in love. Doesn't matter she's not a bloom machine. And I'm willing to live with any octopus growth.
Christina ~ you'll enjoy the carefreeness of Dusty Miller. I'm hoping a 4' hybrid will be developed! Such a soft cute plant grows to 6' in a couple of years here. And then the yellow bloom disrupts my pastel color scheme :-)

Will There Be One Jewish People?
I have been thinking a lot again recently about the correspondence between one of the great Orthodox luminaries of the 20th century, Rabbi Yechiel Yaakov Weinberg z"l and Professor Samuel Atlas z"l, a leading thinker of his time at Hebrew Union College, the flagship academy of Reform Judaism. In particular, one line from a letter Rabbi Weinberg wrote to Professor Atlas in 1957 has provoked much thought for me:
"I see that in the end there will be a split in the body of the nation."
Rabbi Weinberg was referencing an upcoming Congress for Jewish Studies in Jerusalem in which there was great controversy over who was or was not invited. In the letter Rabbi Weinberg makes note that the Haredi community both simultaneously poured fury on those who chose to participate and were furious more Haredi rabbis were not invited to participate. It is in that context that he makes his stark and devastating prediction that there will indeed be a split in the Jewish people.
Was he right? If so, where are the fault lines in that split?
Much has been written about various divides within the Jewish community. There are the well known denominational divisions between the Reform, Conservative, Reconstructionist, Renewal and Orthodox. There are the differences between historic ethnic communities; Sephardim and Ashkenazim, Persians and Yemenites, Bukharians and Syrians. Perhaps less well known in larger audiences are the current disputes within Orthodoxy between various sectors, left and right; Modern, Centrist, Open, Yeshivish and Chassidish.
Yet, what if the split Rabbi Weinberg predicted would come was not a split along denominational lines or ethnic communities or even something internally within Orthodoxy but was a meta-divide happening across the entire spectrum of those people who are committed to Jewish peoplehood and Jewish identity? (A separate but important conversation is the place of the large and growing percentage of Jews who are opting out of the Jewish community entirely.)
I recently attended and presented at Limmud New York for the first time. I have participated and presented at two other Limmud conferences but had not had the chance prior to attend the New York Limmud. Throughout the Shabbat and weekend in the hotel surrounded by hundreds of Jews from all backgrounds, all types of Jewish practice and Jewish ways of living, it occurred to me that the split Rabbi Weinberg was so afraid of was a split between what I am calling the maximalists and the minimalists.
The maximalists are those people who seek to maximize their definition of the Jewish people. They seek to engage in conversation and dialogue with as many Jews as possible and be part of the broadest Jewish community (see this thought-provoking article by Rabbi Nathan Lopes Cardozo on a related topic from 2014). The minimalists are those people who seek to narrow the definition of the Jewish people to the most particular definitions of Jewishness. They seek to maintain a Jewish community that is as homogeneous as possible.
Minimalists and maximalists transcend denominational, ethnic and ideological lines. There can be Orthodox maximalists and Reform minimalists and vice versa. At the most recent Limmud NY weekend one could find Jews in payos and bekishes and Jews with nose rings and tattoos. This dynamic is not one concerned with theological difference or denominational integrity but rather about one's outlook on Jewish peoplehood.
When one conceives of an impending split in these terms one can see two vibrant but distinct communities evolving. On one hand there is the community of Jews who attempt to learn from each other, share in Torah study and build bridges to each other while on the other hand there are micro-communities within a larger community of Jews who value ideological purity and communal conformity above all else. Both of these visions of the Jewish people are thriving. Both are competing for the heart and soul of the Jewish people.
Rabbi Sir Jonathan Sacks in reflecting on his career as Chief Rabbi of the United Kingdom in 2013 published a pamphlet entitled A Judaism Engaged With The World and in it he lays forth the powerful idea that:
"In the twenty-first century, Jews will need the world, and the world will need the Jews. We will not win the respect of the world if we ourselves do not respect the world: if we look down on non-Jews and on Jews less religious than ourselves. Nor will we win the respect of the world if we do not respect ourselves and our own distinctive identity. Now more than ever the time has come for us to engage with the world as Jews, and we will find that our own world of mind and spirit will be enlarged."
Rabbi Sacks powerfully articulates in this pamphlet an Orthodox approach to a maximalist Jewish community. Indeed, Rabbi Sacks continues to be an inspiring figure for this approach. The language he uses to express his ideas is an Orthodox language, the ideas are rooted in Orthodoxy and this pamphlet would look different if it was written by a Conservative or Reconstructionist rabbi. This is because, as said earlier, the divide between the minimalists and the maximalists is not a denominational divide. There are Orthodox maximalists, like Rabbi Sacks, just as there are Orthodox minimalists. So too, there are Conservative maximalists and Conservative minimalists.
In this era of two competing trends for the Jewish people, let us commit ourselves to the trend of Jewish maximalism so that we will find "our own world of mind and spirit will be enlarged." We cannot decide for others what kind of Jewish community they seek to create. We cannot prevent others from isolating and presenting narrower and narrower definitions of who is in and who is out. However, what we can do is demonstrate the joy of a Jewish people that is broad and diverse, that welcomes the many and learns, celebrates and lives together. If we do so in a compelling fashion, perhaps and just perhaps, we can maintain a single Jewish people into the future.

Denominational Ins and Outs: The New Mishkan
Jewish life is turned around – so suggests this week's Torah portion (Terumah) about the first Mishkan (ritual focus of cultic and religious life) in the desert. This ancient narrative offers profound reflections on the denominational ins and outs of modern Jewish life.
One way to understand Jewish history is in denominational terms. Before modernity, Jews in their social, linguistic and philosophic diversity had no denominations like the streams of Christianity (e.g. Anglican, Baptist, Catholic, Dutch Reformed, Evangelical, etc.). Painting with a broad brush, Reform Jewry was a late 18th century social-theological reaction to the Haskalah (Jewish Enlightenment). Orthodoxy was a self-protective reply to Reform. Conservative Jewry was a 19th century response to Reform. Reconstructionism evolved in the 20th century from Conservative Jewry as a reaction to social and scientific modernity. By the late 20th century, Jewish denominations established seminaries, congregational affiliation systems, dues structures, governance methods, employment eligibility criteria, prayer books, theological reality maps, and committees to apply Jewish law (or reject Jewish law entirely).
Amidst these denominational fault lines, we can forget that Jewish denominationalism is barely a blip, just two centuries over a span of millennia. What's more, the denominational tide is going out. Now-mainstream seminaries of ALEPH: Alliance for Jewish Renewal, the Academy for Jewish Religion-New York, the Academy for Jewish Religion-California, and Hebrew College arose to ordain rabbis outside denominationalism, preparing clergy to serve increasingly fluid, porous and diverse Jewish communities. The Internet is democratizing access to Jewish learning and resources, fueling continued rise of independent synagogues and chavurot. Denominational synagogues, in turn, are bucking "mother ships" on dues structures, guild limits on who may apply for pulpits, and centralized policies about Jewish status. Initiatives like OHALAH (the trans-denominational rabbinic association for Jewish Renewal) and CLAL's Rabbis Without Borders testify to the porousness of modern Jewish life, and the boundary-challenging experiences that are their primary organizing forces.
This counter-denominational trend is re-shaping Jewish demographics. The 2013 Pew Study found that fully 22% of U.S. Jews – and 32% of Jews born after 1980 – reject all labels on their religious identity. Today fully 30% of U.S. Jews actively practicing Judaism claim that their Judaism has no denominational label. Second to Reform, which claims allegiance of 35% of U.S. Jews, today's largest denomination in active U.S. Jewish life is no denomination at all. This trend is quickening, and denominational leaders know it. Among the many social and economic causes of denominational decline, waning denominational identification is top among them. Partly as a result, the number of Conservative congregations declined by 25% since 1985; in the 2000s, the Reconstructionist Movement merged its synagogue arm and rabbinical college.
We are witnessing the retrenchment of denominationalism in U.S. Jewish life. The question isn't whether it is so, but what we make of it.
Enter this week's Torah portion. To build the Mishkan as a focus for the Indwelling Presence of God, Torah recounts that Moses was to receive gifts from everyone with willing hearts (Ex. 25:2). Their gifts were radically diverse in content, composition, color and style (Ex. 25:3-7). The purpose was to build a sanctuary from their diversity, so God could dwell b'tocham – not within "it" (the Mishkan) but within "them" (the people) (Ex. 25:8). Together these images evoke a collectivity in which everyone shares diverse gifts to establish the immanence of God among us – with no barriers of denomination, tribe, race or caste to divide the people.
To put a fine point on it, the Indwelling Presence (Shechinah) dwells not amidst any subgroup but among the entirety. So wrote the Sfat Emet in 1870: "Shechinah dwells among all the Children of Israel together." So teaches the Zohar (3:202a): "The whole of the people are the vessel for Shechinah." Spiritually speaking, the modern blip of denomination is entirely besides the point.
Even more telling are the kruvim (cherubim) atop the Mishkan, which in this week's Torah portion faced each other (Ex. 25:20). In pre-exile Jerusalem, however, the kruvim faced not each other but the Temple (2 Chron. 3:13). Talmud's rabbis noted this inconsistency. They reasoned that when the people behave well and honor God, the kruvim face each other; but when the people behave poorly and dishonor God, the kruvim face the Temple (B.T. Bava Batra 99a).
In modern spiritual terms, we ourselves are the kruvim. Our calling is first to face each other, not any dogmatic structure. When we face each other – inclusively, making room for all, accepting everyone's heart gifts – we honor Torah's call to build a Mishkan for the immanence of God to dwell among us. When instead we face first a denominational or dogmatic subgroup, we re-trace Talmud's definition of poor behavior that dishonors God and defies our spiritual purpose. The Jewish sense of God can only dwell amidst our entire collectivity: no mere part will do.
Denominations bring scholarship, investment, organization and purpose. Klal Yisrael needs those benefits, and denominations continue to be vital vehicles for them. For those reasons, Jews outside denominationalism do wrong to glibly demonize denominations as inherently corrosive of Jewish spirituality. By the same token, denominations do wrong to diminish or disenfranchise Jews and Jewish leaders whose spiritual or community affiliations grow outside denominational structures. The Mishkan needs their diverse gifts no less. Our failure to learn these lessons risks turning each other into Others, turning the spiritual kruvim away from each other, turning Jews away from our collective spiritual calling.
For the ins and outs of denominational life, the upshots are clear. Denominations must drop bans on which legitimate seminaries' rabbinic ordinees may apply for pulpits: Jewish community is a spiritual body, not a collection of protectionist mercantile guilds. Jews are voting with hearts, minds and wallets against exclusivist denominational strategies, and denominational leaders must evolve accordingly. For their parts, non-denominational Jews must drop their "ugly stepchild" narrative of exclusion and subjugation. Denominational successes aren't affronts to chavurot, independent communities and unaffiliated seminaries. Non-denominational leaders would do well to learn the denominations' wise use of organizational tools to enrich the collectivity of Jewish life.
Learning these lessons will help us turn toward each other anew, like the kruvim atop history's Mishkan. Perhaps by turning toward each other in these ways, we can build a new Mishkan worthy of that name – a collectivity fit for the Indwelling Presence of God among us all.
Dedicated to the memory of R. Zalman Schachter-Shalomi, zeide (grandfather) of Jewish Renewal, who taught that "the only way to get it together is together."

Jewish Identity: Asking the Wrong Question
I have been thinking a lot about Jewish identity recently. How do we define our own connection to Judaism? What unites us and what divides us? In what ways do the modes we use to define ourselves become off putting for someone exploring the Jewish community? These are tough questions and with no easy answer. Yet, there is one thing we could begin doing that would make a big impact.
All too often when we are meeting a new person in the context of a Jewish communal event (e.g. college Shabbat dinner, Jewish young adult group, etc.) our question is: What kind of Jew are you? Are you Reform? Are you Orthodox? Do you affiliate with a particular type of synagogue? Perhaps we are asking the wrong question. Instead of attempting to determine how a person Jewishly identifies, we should want to know how they do Jewish. This point was made to me recently by a colleague. As a community we have become too focused on how a person is Jewish and not on what they do Jewish.
This focus on the how is strange considering we are traditionally a religious community defined by our actions more than our beliefs. We are commanded to perform mitzvot. In fact, there is a well known midrash, rabbinic homily, that has God declaring that in a choice between rejecting belief in Him and forsaking the Divine commandments, rather the people keep the commandments. What we do becomes more important than what we believe.
Creating more opportunities for meaningful Jewish engagement that focus on doing Jewish can become a catalyst for further involvement in the Jewish community. Avoiding the questions of Jewish identity can create safe spaces for people to be who they are while still embracing a full spectrum of Jewish actions. The time has come to stop asking how are you Jewish and begin to invite people to do Jewish.

I Am Orthodox: Why Labels Matter
A few weeks ago Elad Nehorai of Pop Chassid posted a provocative piece entitled, "Jews, It's Time To Abolish The Word 'Orthodox'". This article made its way through my Facebook newsfeed at the time of its posting with people agreeing with his idea and those disagreeing. This conversation: The utility of labels and the cost/benefit analysis of the term "Orthodox" is one that I have been party to on numerous occasions. The discussion is usually colored by the intra-denominational tensions within Orthodoxy and where the people who are conversing fall in those larger debates. This question is often used as a tool to either bolster or tear down another person's identity claims in order to delegitimize or add legitimacy to their approach and philosophy.
Gratefully, Elad does not engage in that conversation but rather opens us up to thinking about whether it is time to abolish labels that are unnecessarily divisive. He wonders whether embracing a label implies spiritual and religious stagnation (i.e. "I've made it!"). These are important questions. Yet, I do not believe the problem is the label. As people we live in a world ordered by labels and categories. The entire pursuit of taxonomy in the scientific fields allows us to delve further into the biological world. Taxonomy, the pursuit of classifying in order to understand, is not an inherently negative notion. It is a necessary fact of life and the way we as human beings think.
Similarly, an undeniable part of the transition from pure science to humanities is one will have a harder time of achieving absolutely consistent definitions. There will be at times inconsistencies. Sociologically, different groupings of people, even within a similar religious culture, will use the same title and mean slightly different things. Thus, when one sees different types of Orthodox Jews claiming the title Orthodox and yet they have differences in belief or practice that does not ipso facto mean the label is worthless. There are a myriad of ways of broadly being Jewish and yet we do not say the term "Jewish" or "Jew" is meaningless because there are differences amongst Jews.
My main contention with this article though is the non-personal nature of it. What do I mean by that? In claiming that the title ought to be abandoned Elad (and others who say the same thing in conversations) disregard the meaning the title holds for people who claim it as an identity construct. It may not be helpful, meaningful or useful for you but that is not the same thing as saying it is therefore not helpful, meaningful or useful for anyone else. In fact, to do so is to be dismissive of other people's identity and the way they form themselves in the world.
I am Orthodox. The Orthodox title is useful for me in conceiving of how I go about in the world. It is helpful for me in framing my particular sub-community within the Jewish religious world. It is meaningful for me to describe not the journey that I have completed (contrary to Elad's claim) but rather the journey I am still on. Furthermore, as a person with some ancestral connections to the German Jewish experience, I find inspiration, motivation and wisdom from the intellectual vibrancy, spiritual probing and engagement with the world offered by figures such as Rabbi Samson Raphael Hirsch zt"l and Rabbi Dovid Tsvi Hoffmann zt"l among others.
The term historically arose as a pejorative for the traditional in a post-ghettoized Europe but that does not mean there are many, including myself, who have come to embrace it. The label may be home to intense intra-fighting but that has always been the case since the dawn of the label (e.g. the German Neo-Orthodoxy in contrast to the Hungarian Ultra-Orthodoxy debates of the 19th century). I respect the decision of those who choose to no longer identify with the label or who no longer find it helpful or meaningful but I ask that those same people respect my decision to maintain it.

A Judaism That Works For All
Last week my Facebook feed was busy lining up responses to two online articles that got a lot of professional Jews (and plenty of lay people too) talking. The first, by Barak Hullman, was provocatively titled, Why Reform Judaism Doesn't Work, Won't Work, and How to Fix It.
A child of the Reform movement, Hullman describes an awakening he had at college when, during a search for a Shabbat service that felt comfortable and familiar, he eventually found himself at the Chabad house. He felt that his childhood education had ill-prepared him to know what to do in a Conservative or Orthodox congregation. He felt that his rabbi had done him a disservice by claiming that certain Jewish practices were not relevant to him, rather than presenting a broader kind of Judaism and permitting him to make a truly informed choice.
As with all lived experiences, he shares some partial truths that are worthy of reflection. However, when he concludes that both the problem (and therefore the answer) lies in a lack of acceptance of Torah as God's word and law, he loses a good proportion of his readers. If only Reform Judaism were Orthodox Judaism, we'd be back on track.
Susan Esther Barnes wrote a response to Hullman's piece entitled, Why Reform Judaism Does Work. Reform Judaism "works," she tells us, in the way that Judaism as a whole works – by calling us to be closer to God. She adds to this definition by expressing that one way that this is felt by people is by being closer to our true selves, as God intended us. For a great many people, this is an essential component of spiritual practice. For some, the close observation of halachah helps them to discern what this truth looks like. But for others who are deeply engaged by and committed to Jewish ritual practice and cultural expression, this discernment leads them to reject some of the strictures of halachah which can be described and explained as socially-constructed human responses to the seeking of God in our lives as convincingly as they can be described as God's actual word. Barnes shares her truth – Reform Judaism works for her in just the kinds of ways that Hullman found in a different expression of Judaism.
Barnes makes it quite clear in her article that she is not seeking to critique a more Orthodox Judaism. She simply asks that Hullman consider that he has found a Judaism that works for him without determining that an entire branch of Judaism, therefore, must be dismissed as dysfunctional.
Barnes highlights a lesson that I learned early on in my time being part of the CLAL community, of which Rabbis Without Borders is a central component. The evolution of a plurality of Jewish expression over the centuries is, in large part, because there was something inherent in one expression that didn't work for a significant number of people who, nevertheless, sought to remain and live Jewishly. Hence, we could describe a more traditional, halachically-rooted Judaism of the 18th century as failing the thousands of Jews who, once granted emancipation in Europe, were choosing to convert to Christianity. Reform Judaism emerged, in large part, as a response to that crisis in urban, modernizing communities. Conservative Judaism emerged, significantly, as a response to a brand of Reform Judaism in America that seemed to prioritize assimilation into American culture in a way that went too far for some Jews who wanted to hold on to more of the ritual traditions of Judaism. Hasidic Judaism, in its origins, was a response to a European Judaism that was overly focused on strictures, fasting, and a cultural narrative that saw the sufferings of the diaspora as proportionate to the people's need to repent for sin. Hasidism restored joy to Jewish life. It drew deeply on the well of Jewish mysticism to offer hope to people whose lives were so very hard.
And so we could go on. It is the diversity of Jewish expression that enables so many to find their place within such a deep and rich spiritual wisdom tradition. Today we find ourselves, quite possibly, at another of those crossroads that, in past generations, led to some of these new expressions taking root. What new expressions may arise that will animate a new generation of young Jews seeking meaning in their lives are already slowly taking shape via experimentation and a variety of responses that are just beginning to emerge to respond to the changing social and cultural waves that we are all trying to ride.
That is why pluralism is so important. I can believe strongly that, as a Reform rabbi, I have an important role to play in guiding my community toward a deeper and more engaged Jewish life while, simultaneously, deeply knowing that my colleagues who align themselves with many other denominations, and those who choose not to be labelled denominationally, are likewise doing the same important work with Jews that I will not or cannot reach. And, together, that is the work of Rabbis Without Borders, as we do this work with a fundamental awareness of the societal shifts and cultural milieu in which we are seeking to share the wisdom found in our faith tradition. We can point toward a Judaism that works for all precisely because we understand that to do so, we need a plurality of Jewish expression to meet the needs of a pluralistic, multifaceted, constantly shifting and evolving Jewish community.

Who speaks for Judaism?
As an ex-pat British Jew, living and working in the USA, I've been following the press coverage on the search for a new Chief Rabbi in the UK with interest. The Times of Israel just recently published an update on what is becoming quite a lengthy and arduous search, raising a number of poignant issues in its coverage. Its been nearly two years since Rabbi Jonathan Sacks announced that he would be stepping down from the position come September 2013. British commentators have noted that the Anglican Church managed to appoint a new Archbishop of Canterbury in a mere 8 months.
For those less familiar with the British religious landscape, that comparison was not just plucked out of the air. Rabbi Herman Adler became the first, self-designated 'Chief Rabbi' from 1891-1911, and promoted this role as the Jewish equivalent to the Archbishop of Canterbury. With a much more centrist Orthodox rabbinate, the fledgling progressive communities were content with this singular spokesperson for the UK Jewish community for quite some time.
However, the official title is actually 'Chief Rabbi of the United Hebrew Congregations of the Commonwealth,' and the preciseness of this label has become more pertinent over time. The United Synagogue, as it is often referred to, is the umbrella organization for modern Orthodox communities only. As the rabbinic authorities in the UK – the Dayanim – (judges that sit on the Beth Din – the Jewish Court) have played an influential role in moving the mainstream Orthodox United Synagogue further and further to the right (in part, no doubt, responding to pressures felt from their counterparts in Israel), and as the Progressive movements have grown in number and strength over the decades, it has become virtually impossible to conceive of one person who can represent and speak on behalf of the British Jewish community. Here, the parallel with the Archbishop of Canterbury breaks down. The archbishop only speaks for the Anglican Church. The fact that this is still somewhat of an influential voice in British culture is not because he speaks for any of the other Christian denominations to be found in the UK, but because of the UK's own political history, by which the Anglican Church is the official State religion of the country.
And, in fact, there has been an official spokesperson for the Sephardi Jewish community, the Reform and the Liberal Movements of the UK for quite some time. Over the past 20 years or so, the British government has become much more attuned to this plurality of voices and representatives, ensuring that they are all invited to the appropriate State events.
Even before the current dilemma on who to appoint as the next Chief Rabbi came into being, I've found my American counterparts to be quite amused by the whole system in the UK. Here, the land of rugged individualism and autonomy, the thought that one would even attempt to find one spokesperson for the Jewish community is seen as laughable. Aside from the enormous diversity of Jewish expression to be found here that is movement-based, there is also a great deal of independence within each and every community.
In today's cultural milieu, more than ever, when a congregation finds that its' members values and practices are at odds with the official positions of the movement to which they affiliate, we are seeing more of them choose to go independent. While something is lost from being part of a larger collective, most intently felt when the movement brings people together from across the country or speaks up in the public sphere in a way that makes us proud, there is a growing feeling that communities are willing to let go of those larger affiliations if they perceive the restrictions laid upon them to be too great. Likewise, while rabbis still have great capacity to teach and guide a community, if they are perceived as being too out-of-step with the community, they are likely to find themselves looking for new work.
In truth, these are not new phenomena. This was very much the way of things for many Jewish communities across the world, prior to the communication and travel technologies that enabled geographically spread and diverse congregations to find each other and gather under the banner of a common label. But let us not be fooled – the desire to do so was in the fulfillment of larger communal needs as Jews sought full emancipation and inclusion in the larger societies of which they were a part. They provided a means to gather with other like-minded communities as we found ourselves responding to modernity and figuring out how to keep our religious traditions and practices relevant and meaningful within this new world.
Those needs still exist. And I am certainly making no early pronouncement that our movements no longer fulfill those needs. But what is clear, in the age of social networking and crowd-sourcing, is that they no longer remain the only way for separate communities to explore those questions together. Organizations like Darim Online, and CLAL (National Center for Learning and Leadership) – the creators of the Rabbis Without Borders fellowship program – demonstrate that speaking across and beyond denominational and movement-based lines can enable all of us to move forward in the ways we create and run spiritually purposeful Jewish communities today.
And we, the Jewish people, continue to do what, in fact, we have always done – we speak for Judaism whenever we engage, act, celebrate, and live our lives through a Jewish lens.

Very good tour if you fancy a trip out of the city.
Beautiful countryside
This was a great tour!
This tour was great, and the two young girls that were giving the tour were so very nice and helpful. It was great to actually get a tour inside a working windmill and climb up top. Highly recommend this tour.
Highly recommend this trip whilst staying in Amsterdam. The visit to the three sites was informative and enjoyable giving an insight into the lives of the Dutch people. Particular enjoyable was Volendam which is a pretty waterfront town which was followed by an enjoyable boat trip to Marken.
Netherlands is great! Loved it. We saw a lot in 1 day tour. However, it rained. :). Loved the taste of herring fresh fish, you should try it too. Tour guide was very knowledgeable, spoke 4 languages, maybe even more :)
This half day tour was the highlight of our European vacation! The scenery was beautiful, the stops were interesting and everything was handled well. Will recommend this tour to friends.

Ok so I'm a big Alton Brown fan and therefore put more weight in weight over volume of ingredients. This also helps with planning since most products have weight labels on them.
Long story short, if I buy a 16 oz bag of sarsparilla root from somewhere and a recipe calls for 1 cup of the stuff, how many times can I make that recipe before I need to reorder?
the ingredients I am most interested in are sarsparilla root, sassafras root bark, burdock root, and any other types commonly used to produce root beer.
Only way to be sure is to have a scale on hand so you can weigh a cup of it and know for sure, or measure out the volume of the entire 16 oz bag and calculate from there. Otherwise it's all guess work.
Find Recipes on my blog: The Homemade Soda Expert I'd love some feedback!

Weight is the key but to give you an idea:
Some root beer recipes will take 1/4 cup sassafras for 1 gallon. I just made 4 gallons of a dandelion/burdock beer where 1 cup of each yielded about 3 oz. these were cut, sifted, and dried. I believe it will be similar for other roots.
Dandelion burdock beer? Sounds interesting. I may have to try some.
I'll let you know how it turns out. Burdock is a strange flavor. I didn't expect it when simmering but we'll see. It's been a British staple for at least a century or two.
So I just tried the recipe I custom made for the burdock/dandelion soda . . . .not bad but it needs some tweaking. I would say that the die hard purist would rather prefer this recipe but for the first time drinker a Fentiman's style that masks the flavor of the burdock and dandelion would fare better. It's very interesting. I may have to crush the star anise next time and lessen the amount of roots a tad. Idk.
Hmmm. I'll have to see if I can find some Fentiman's anywhere and see what I think. Thanks for the info.

Originally written on Waiting For Next Year | Last updated 11/19/14
The Sacramento Kings have apparently decided to pass on free agent forward Andre Iguodala, according to Sam Amick- "The Sacramento Kings have pulled their offer to free agent small forward Andre Iguodala, according to a person with knowledge of the decision. After making a four-year, $52 million bid, the Kings will now regroup and decide the next move in their rebuilding efforts. The person spoke to USA TODAY Sports on the condition of anonymity because of the private nature of the situation." It isn't clear if the Kings were hoping for an immediate decision from Iguodala, but apparently they feel that they had waiting long enough. The Kings are approximately $16 million dollars under the cap- but only if Tyreke Evans signs elsewhere. If the Kings bring Evans back, plus signing draft picks Ben McLemore and Ray McCallum they will be out of cap space. The Denver Nuggets are very interested in bringing back the All-Star and gold medalist, but would not be able to do so at $14 million per season. Iguodala has met with the Detroit Pistons as well, and will meet with the New Orleans Pelicans, Golden State Warriors and Atlanta Hawks according to a USA Today report. The Cavaliers had long been interested in trading for Iguodala, but it is not known if they have spoken to him about playing in Cleveland since free agency began this week.

10 Mumps Introduced in 1988 as part of MMR NOTIFIABLE Introduction Mumps is an acute viral illness caused by a paramyxovirus. Humans are the only known host. It is characterised by swelling of one or more of the salivary glands, usually the parotid. The virus can be isolated from 2-7 days before to 9 days after onset of symptoms. Approximately 10 secondary infections will result from each index case in a fully susceptible population. Epidemiology Transmission is by airborne or droplet spread. The incubation period Mumps is approximately 17 days (range 14-25 days). Cases are infectious from about 6 days before to 10 days after onset of symptoms, although maximum infectivity is from 2 days before to 5 days after onset of symptoms. High-risk groups are those in a close-contact environment such as pre-school, school and third-level colleges, health-care workers, and international travellers. Recently in Ireland the highest incidence has been in 18-24 year olds. A national mumps outbreak commenced in November 2004 (Figure 10.1). The outbreak predominantly affected those born before 1988, particularly those born between 1983 and 1986. MMR was first introduced in 1988. 107 Chapter 10 Mumps Figure 10.1 Annual number of mumps notifications in Ireland, 1988-2006. Source: HPSC 1200 1000 Number of notifications 800 600 400 200 0 1988 1989 1990 1991 1992 1993 1994 1995 1996 1997 1998 1999 2000 2001 2002 2003 2004 2005 2006 Year Effects of mumps Up to 40% of mumps infections may be asymptomatic and up to 50% will have non-specific or primarily respiratory symptoms. Mumps Prodromal symptoms are non-specific and include mylagia, low-grade fever, anorexia, and headache. Salivary gland inflammation, particularly of the parotid gland (unilateral or bilateral), is the most common manifestation and occurs in 50-70% of affected individuals. Mumps virus affects the CNS in up to 50% of cases, but less than 10% are symptomatic. Typically, symptoms are mild, with meningism (headache, photophobia and neck stiffness) being the commonest. Other CNS manifestations include encephalitis, ataxia, transverse myelitis, and sensorineural deafness. Meningoencephalitis occurs more frequently in adults than children and in boys more than girls. It resolves without sequalae in 3-10 days. Parotitis may be absent in up to 50% of these cases. Other complications include pancreatitis (4%), orchitis (approximately 25% of post-pubertal men, rarely causing sterility), oophritis and mastitis in post-pubertal females, and nephritis. Rarer complications include arthralgia, arthritis and cardiac abnormalities. Death is rare. 108 Chapter 10 Mumps Mumps vaccine Mumps vaccine is only available as MMR (Measles, Mumps and Rubella vaccine). The vaccine contains attenuated measles, mumps and rubella which are cultured separately and mixed before lyophilisation. The lyophilised powder is reconstituted using the diluent supplied and shaken well to completely dissolve the pellet. The reconstituted vaccine is yellow in colour and should only be used if clear and free from particulate matter. An up-to-date list of licensed vaccines is contained in Appendix 1, or can be accessed on the IMB website, www.imb.ie. MMR does not contain thiomersal or any other preservatives. It must be kept refrigerated at 2-8ºC, and protected from light. It should be used within 1 hour of reconstitution. Failure to adhere to these recommendations can result in loss of vaccine potency and diminished effectiveness. Over 90% of individuals develop immunity to measles and rubella after 1 dose of vaccine. Two doses give protection in over 98% of people (see point 1, Indications). Between 61% and 91% are protected against mumps after 1 dose; and 98% are protected after 2 doses. Serological and epidemiological evidence indicates that vaccine-induced immunity is Mumps possibly lifelong. Low rates of seroconversion occur in those under 12 months of age, because of maternal antibodies. Deferral of MMR following blood or immunoglobulin transfusion Blood and blood products may contain significant levels of virus-specific antibody, which could prevent vaccine virus replication. Where possible, MMR should be deferred for at least 3 months after receipt of low-dose immunoglobulin, 6 months after red-cell transfusion, and 11 months after high-dose immunoglobulin (as for Kawasaki Disease). If the MMR vaccine is administered within these timeframes, a further dose should be given outside these times. Laboratory investigation to determine vaccine response is not routinely recommended. Persons who are tuberculin-positive may have a negative tuberculin test for 3 months after measles infection or MMR vaccine. 109 Chapter 10 Mumps Scientific evidence shows no association between the MMR vaccine and autism or inflammatory bowel disease. Dose and route of administration The dose is 0.5 ml by deep intramuscular injection. The deltoid is the recommended site of administration. The anterolateral thigh may also be used. Alcohol swabs are best avoided as alcohol can inactivate the MMR vaccine. If alcohol is used to clean the skin it must be allowed to evaporate completely before the injection is given. When other injectable vaccines are being given concurrently with MMR, different sites should be used. MMR may be given at the same time as DTaP, IPV, MenC, Hib and Hep B in situations where the latter are overdue. Indications 1. All children at 12-15 months of age, with a second dose at 4-5 Mumps years of age. For older children who have not received 2 doses, MMR vaccine should be given as soon as possible, and a second dose one month later. Allowing 3 months between doses is likely to maximise the response rate in children aged under 18 months. Where protection against measles is urgently required the second dose can be given 1 month after the first. If children aged under 18 months are given the second dose less than 3 months after the first dose, they need a third dose to ensure full protection. This can be given at 4-5 years. MMR vaccine can be given to those who have a history of measles, mumps or rubella infection. 2. Measles outbreaks Outbreaks of measles should be controlled by immunising all susceptible individuals within 72 hours of contact, as vaccine- induced immunity develops more rapidly than natural antibody. • If these persons have had no previous measles vaccine, a second dose is given one month later. • During an outbreak, particularly if there are high attack rates in younger infants, MMR vaccine may be given to 110 Chapter 10 Mumps children as young as 6 months of age. However, maternal antibodies may compromise the response to the vaccine. Therefore children vaccinated before their first birthday should have a repeat vaccination at 12-15 months of age, at least 1 month after the first vaccine, with a further dose at 4-5 years of age. • Some persons may require HNIG (see below). 3. Children with chronic conditions such as cystic fibrosis, congenital heart or kidney disease, failure to thrive or Down syndrome are at particular risk of measles infection and should be immunised with MMR vaccine. 4. Children coming from low-income countries have probably received measles vaccine but not rubella or mumps vaccine. Therefore, unless there is a reliable history of vaccine administration, these children should be regarded as unimmunised, and given 2 doses of MMR one month apart. 5. Individuals born before 1978 are likely to have had measles infection. MMR vaccine should be offered to such individuals on request if they are considered at high risk of exposure. 6. Health-Care Workers (HCWs) in the following situations (see Chapter 18). Protection is important both for themselves and in the context of their ability to transmit measles to vunerable groups. • Those who do not have evidence either of measles Mumps infection or of having received 2 doses of MMR vaccine should be given 2 doses of MMR, separated by at least 1 month. • If an outbreak occurs in an institution or an area served by an institution, HCWs should be given 1 dose of MMR. Antibody response to the mumps and rubella components of the MMR vaccine does not develop quickly enough to provide effective prophylaxis after exposure to suspected mumps or rubella. Human normal immunoglobulin is not recommended for the post-exposure protection of pregnant women exposed to rubella. Human normal immunoglobulin is not routinely used as post-exposure protection from mumps. Contraindications 1. Anaphylaxis following a previous dose of MMR or one of its constituents (e.g. Neomycin, Gelatin) 2. Significantly immunocompromised persons, such as those with untreated malignant disease and immunodeficiency states other than HIV infection, and those receiving immunosuppressive 111 Chapter 10 Mumps therapy, high-dose x-ray therapy and current high-dose systemic corticosteroids (see Chapter 2) 3. Pregnancy. Furthermore, pregnancy should be avoided for 1 month after MMR There is no evidence to recommend or support the use of single vaccines against measles, mumps or rubella in place of the combination MMR vaccine. The following are NOT contraindications to MMR vaccine 1. Allergy to egg, even anaphylaxis following egg. If there is a genuine concern regarding serious allergy, a paediatrician may be consulted and the vaccine given in hospital although this is not medically necessary. Currently-used measles and mumps vaccines do not contain significant amounts of egg cross-reacting proteins and recent data suggest that anaphylactic reactions to MMR are not associated with hypersensitivity to egg antigens but to other vaccine components (Gelatin or Neomycin) 2. Breast-feeding 3. HIV-positive patients who are not severely immunocompromised 4. Personal or family history of convulsions. Advice regarding the Mumps possibility and treatment of pyrexia should be given 5. Immunodeficiency in a family member or household contact 6. Uncertainty as to whether a person has had 2 previous MMR vaccines 7. If women have received anti-RhD immunoglobulin it is not necessary to defer rubella vaccination as the response to the vaccine is not affected Precautions 1. Acute severe febrile illness, defer until recovery 2. Injection with another live vaccine within the previous 4 weeks 3. Recent administration of blood or blood products (see above) 4. Patients who developed thrombocytopenia within 6 weeks of their first dose of MMR should undergo serological testing to decide whether a second dose is necessary. The second dose is recommended if the patient is not fully immune to the 3 component viruses. 112 Chapter 10 Mumps Adverse reactions Soreness and erythema may occur at the injection site (3-8%). Fever (6%), rash (7%), headache, vomiting and salivary gland swelling may occur. A febrile convulsion occurs in 1 in 1,000 children. 'Mini-measles' may occur 6-10 days after immunisation and consists of mild pyrexia and an erythematous rash. 'Mini-mumps' with salivary gland swelling may rarely occur during the third week after immunisation. Very rarely, anaphylaxis, erythema multiforme, thrombocytopoenia, and nerve deafness have been reported. The rubella component may occasionally produce a rash, mild arthralgia, and lymph-node swelling 2-4 weeks post-vaccination, particularly in post- pubertal females (up to 25% of recipients). The incidence is lower than after natural disease. There is no evidence of congenital rubella syndrome or increase in other teratogenic effects in women inadvertently given rubella vaccine before or during early pregnancy, but pregnancy remains a contraindication. Adverse reactions are considerably less common (under 1%) after a second dose of MMR. Mumps 113 Chapter 10 Mumps Bibliography American Academy of Pediatrics (2006).

The character's real name is Conwell Keeler, not "Conway." Please get it right! This man's life is far more fascinating than Hollywood could ever portray it in this movie, but I sincerely hope his portrayal is done in good taste. Rock On Con!!!

This place has a great environment, superb food, and prompt service. I have traveled all over the USA, and it still remains my favorite Mexican restaurant!

I'll steal a line from my Dad who calls Cafe Azteca a "hidden gem." You won't go wrong eating here. The food is freshly prepared for each order - nothing is pre-made, and their selection of food on their menu is quite expansive. There is a section of tacos, burrittos, chimichangas, empanadas - each offering can be made with beef,... More
We love this neighborhood style restaurant. The owners are lovely, very attentive and the husband is an excellent chef. Its cozy atmosphere, Mexican decor just adds to the most delicious appetizers, soups, entrees, desserts and drinks!! I had a a traditional dish called pollo rosita combined sautéed chicken with potatoes spinach & onion. The spices weren't too strong but not... More
Not a big fan of this place , food is not great and it is a small place . If you never had real Mexican then maybe you will like it
NOT fond of Mexican food; but this place is by far the best I've experienced....great decor as well.
The décor was nice and the staff was friendly but the food wasn't good. I started out with the chipotle shrimp that was supposed to be lightly breaded. There was a thick breading on them and they were flavorless. I though the shrimp would have a spicy chipotle flavor - nothing and they were chewy. I had the chicken tacos... More
My wife and I have eaten here many times, alone and with friends. I have never been disappointed. Let's not forget the tasty margaritas. The staff is great and the owners are always visible. If something you want is not on the menu, they will make it happen. All in all, just a great little place with great food and... More
This place is just phenomenal!!!!! So many Mexican dishes to choose from and the portions are always big and delicious. I've been to this place at least 6 or 7 times so far and have always enjoyed the full experience. Staff is always very friendly too
The first time my daughter took me here I said, are you sure?? From the outside it looks like a bar but once you get past the bad neighborhood and the lack luster front, Café Azetca is cute (but simple) inside. Prices are reasonable, food is dependably good as are the margaritas. You would think that we would have a... More
My family and I go here frequently. We all have our favorite dishes and appetizers but I like to try the specials. I have not been disappointed yet. Street parking only but worth finding a parking spot considering the pleasant meal and atmosphere you will find inside. This isn't a place to just come to for the margaritas and drinks.... More

Microsoft updates Yammer for iOS, Android with new mobile collaboration features
Microsoft's Yammer enterprise social-networking team is rolling out new capabilities for Yammer on iOS, OS X and Android devices.

Pixelapse will remain a standalone product as a migration plan to the core Dropbox platform is hatched out.
Red Hat's latest acquisition enhances its mobile app development platform with collaboration features that promote agility and increase security.
Facebook is reportedly working on an enterprise friendly version of its service with collaboration features. Facebook is looking to be unblocked in corporations and be seen as a useful tool.
The company, which has a popular work management and collaboration tool, has added new visualization features that show enterprises the moving process and people parts.
Based on the chip giant's reference design, the laptops include rugged features and Celeron processors.
This was Cisco's third chance to show they can deliver compelling collaboration experiences that include both social networking and communication features. You know what they say about three strikes...
Two tracks seem to be emerging with today's enterprise collaboration tools. Either they're becoming full-sized suites with the kitchen sink, or they're focusing making a few core features work better than anyone else.
Samsung has done a good job with the Galaxy S5. Software bloat has been pared down and a few useful new features added, while the technical specifications are superb and battery life is good. Design purists may bemoan the plastic chassis, but the Galaxy S5 is still a worthy successor to last year's model.
HTC is showing off a couple of mid-range Android devices with their compelling design features. They also talked about a new initiative and a study as they attempt to reach beyond simple design initiatives.
It's time to cull some of the spreadsheets that finance (and operational) executives are using. Cloud-based solutions can offer the audit trails, one-source-of-truth, collaboration and other features missing in solutions of yore.
Apple's new iOS7 was meant to be a revolution in design — but someone forgot to do some continuity checking. The result is an aesthetic nightmare that, regardless of the underlying features, is difficult and frustrating to use.
Among the new APIs coming in iOS 7 will be a number of typographic sizing and styling features that some say will offer 'astonishing possibilities' in design and readability on Apple's mobile platforms.
Microsoft's webified Office will catch up to some of Google's Docs collaboration features.
Cloud storage providers continue to try to outdo each other by adding as many collaborative features as possible.
Sahil Parikh, founder of marketing collaboration tool Brightpod, shares why focusing on making the software clean, and "ridiculously simple" instead of the number of features is more important for success.
New Upware marketplace features well-known software applications for data backup, security and collaboration; other categories to be added in the future.
The Core i5-based Surface Pro combines ultrabook components with a (chunky) 10.6in. tablet form factor to deliver decent performance and excellent build quality. However, a few design issues, missing features and, above all, disappointing battery life suggest you'd be wise to wait and see how this product develops.
The major updates to Adobe's cloud-based design suite were revealed at the company's Create Now event. For enterprise customers, the new features bring centralised management and collaborative capabilities.
The Tecra R950 is a hefty 15.6in. business-grade notebook with an up-to-date set of security and manageability features, integrated mobile broadband and a solid but understated design. It performs well enough for its market, but we'd prefer a higher screen resolution.

So few live to tell the tale, but they say nothing is lovelier than a Vampires' Masquerade. Beginning at nightfall with hundreds of candles spiking the inky darkness, they swish and they swirl in their crimson velvets and dark whispering satins in garden terraces of exotic black flowers to haunting waltzes and breathtaking tangos. Lovely Rasputina is the undisputed Queen of the Undead Ball – if you can win a second dance with her, your immortality is assured.
This original collage was constructed of walnut ink stained vintage images, found text and art paper on a Strathmore photo mount card and accented with dresden trim, glitter, satin ribbon and a crystal.

So very versatile!July 31, 2011
I love these bead caps -- they are so versatile and can be used in bracelets, necklaces or earrings. They have a quiet sheen and a lot of texture and pair well with either pearls or crystals. They are elegant yet fun at the same time!
