If you have ever watched a red carpet event, tuned into an awards show or flipped open a fashion magazine, you have most likely seen the work of the talented celebrity makeup artist and photographer, Troy Jensen. His signature style is a radiant look that goes beyond the makeup and draws attention to the woman wearing it.
Four months of extreme nail biting. The appraisal of several hundred pages of property details and appointments to view perhaps 45 cottages. Yup, the search for a new cabin was arduous. Just as we were about to throw in the towel, Rob emailed one last prospect: a 1980s A-frame. But it was clearly a bag of problems...
There is nothing I love more than a good pair of sweats. Even better, if I can make my sweats look fashionable enough to wear them out, go shopping and run errands in them! To find out how I can look chic when running around town (and get that look that celebrities have!) I spoke with Elana Brynes, Founder and Creative Director of Kings of Cole.
Everyone deserves to have a day to feel special. Luxury can be associated with expensive outings, taste and experiences; however it can also be inspired by a sense of self worth and the way people make us feel. A life of luxury may seem out of your reach; but money isn't the only way to make you feel like you are worth thousands.
Think first about how your dream kitchen needs to perform. More than simply somewhere to rustle up a delicious Chicken Parm', the kitchen, nowadays, is a meeting and chattering space where social intercourse occurs. It's also, potentially, a community centre for local kids, a homework station or just somewhere to enjoy a cuppa with friends while gossiping about life and love.
Hair trends are constantly changing. I was surprised when I saw that Kim Kardashian had cut off her hair. I had always thought her mane was such a reflection of who she is. Recently, I spoke with Jessica Van Kuyk, Artistic Director at Suki's Salons and Academy to find out more about the hottest hair colour trends for spring and also the latest style trends.
We've long since opined that festive décor should enhance existing home style rather than smother it, so our 'less is more' mantra is currently extra potent. To provide direction, here are three looks -- Past, Present and Future -- arranged, for your style hungry delectation, using our very own Toronto condo as backdrop.
Working, as we do, with a client inventory that spans suburban bungalows, condominiums, back splits and city centre semis, we've problem solved every decorative issue that bad taste can muster. Here's a quick roundup of pointers that should help make better of any small space, cottage inclined or not.
Naturally a finely appointed Gatsby estate demands an opulent chandelier, but don't worry: in real life, lighting is one area where quantity is almost more important than quality (or at least budget!). The true key to a Great lighting scheme is depth and layers, so including multiple flattering light sources will make you and your space ready for a close-up.
Keep them intact by removing the glue (washing with lukewarm water) from the band after each use and keep their shape by storing them safely. It is recommended to use a ribbon case which will protect the lashes from being crushed. The case has a hard top and will allow the lashes to keep their shape.

Activists and groups representing victims of the 1984 Bhopal gas leak tragedy are asking if the government is letting the Dow Chemicals off the hook by deciding to pay for the clean-up of the contaminated site.
While they welcome the recommendation of the Group of Ministers (GoM) on Sunday to finally clean up the million tonnes of toxic waste a quarter of a century after the disaster, they are asking why it is the taxpayer left paying the bill, instead of the company which bought Union Carbide in 1991.
"The Dow Chemical is liable for clean-up and damage payment consequent on contamination on the principle of successor liability," said an open letter jointly written by seven victims groups to the GoM chairman. It pointed out that the government already filed an application before the M.P. High Court seeking Rs 100 crore as an advance for clean up, in line with the Law Ministry's official position that the Dow Chemicals has inherited Union Carbide's environmental liabilities in Bhopal.
While Saturday's meeting of the GoM decided to vigorously pursue that case, it also saw a discussion regarding ambiguity over the ownership of the Bhopal site. However, the victims' letter insisted that such issues were not material, as the Dow Chemical's liability was based on the "polluter pays" principle.
"The GoM is skirting the issue of the Dow's liability," said Gopal Krishna of the NGO Toxics Watch.
Sunita Narain, of the Centre for Science and Environment agreed. "I am not saying that they should link the decontamination to the question of who pays for it, but they must deal with it," she said. "Otherwise, it will be as bad as letting Anderson go."
The victims' groups felt that "it would be seen as an even bigger crime because the Dow Chemical's evasion of liability is continuing to harm people and causing damage to the unborn."
Timing linked to India-U.S. CEO Forum?
They also questioned the timing of the GoM's report. While the GoM was given ten days until June 24 to complete its task, its chairman P. Chidambaram announced that it would submit its report three days early.
"The timing of GoM's impending statement, a day ahead of the meeting of the influential U.S.-India CEO Forum in Washington D.C., has added to the sense of unease among survivors organisations," said a statement by victims' groups.
The Forum, which will be attended by prominent Indian industrialists and addressed by Finance Minister Pranab Mukherjee, begins on June 22. Previous meetings have been used as a lobbying platform by the Dow Chemicals.

Ocean Management Policy and Reform
This course explores the basis for contemplated and ongoing changes to ocean governance and the status of current governance reform efforts. Reports by the Pew Oceans Commission and U.S. Commission on Ocean Policy in 2003 and 2004, respectively, called for significant changes to management of coastal and ocean resources. Since then, reform has been contemplated via various state and federal initiatives, involving legal, policy and political considerations. This course will examine the background for ocean management reform, the findings of federal and state bodies, and the status of current reform efforts.

Project 17 Economic Development meeting releasing Regional Skills and Labor Shed Study Results
Hello all, I am pleased to announce that the skill shed analysis for the Project 17 region has been completed by the Docking Institute at Fort Hays State University. They surveyed the region over the past few months (phone by land and cell phone line) to complete the study. I know the results are important and a valuable tool as people across the region work to help businesses expand and attract new businesses to the region. Additionally, it is a good workforce analysis too. This analysis is not a traditional labor shed analysis therefore it will be important to walk through the results together. Therefore, we are scheduling a meeting to go over the study and discuss results. The meeting to discuss the results will be held on March 12th from 10 to noon in Chanute in the Alliance Room at the Municipal building-101 South Lincoln Avenue, Chanute, KS 66720. The study will not be publicly released until after this meeting. Thanks so much and look forward to seeing you soon. Feel free to share this meeting invitation with anyone you think may be interested in this topic.

Small Bank in Kansas is a Financial Testing Ground (Cherokee Co.)
via New York Times DealBook article
The redbrick bank in Weir, Kan., in a building cater-corner from the mortuary on Main Street, does not look much like a candidate for the bank of the future.
Inside, an Emerson boombox with a fully extended silver antenna is tuned to KJMK, Classic Hits. The huge steel vault, from the Mosler Safe Company, was used to lock up former owners of the bank overnight during an armed heist in 1959. And the storage room in the back contains an old, unlabeled bottle of brown moonshine.
Beneath these holdovers, though, the Citizens Bank of Weir — or CBW, as it was renamed — has been taken apart and rebuilt, from its fiber optic cables up, so it can offer services not available at even the nation's largest banks.
The creation of the new bank, and the maintenance of the old one, are the work of a couple who were born in India and ended up in Kansas after living in Silicon Valley and passing through jobs at Google and Lehman Brothers.

Breaking the Barriers: Article on Addressing the Cycle of Poverty 11/30
The climb out of poverty, for many, looks like one step forward, two steps back.
Housing, food, transportation, educational opportunities, healthcare, social circles, spending habits and more are heavily influenced by income, and many individuals who struggle to make ends meet rely on safety nets and other resources to make it all work.
As they begin the climb, a lot of those safety nets begin to fall away, adding to the challenge.
But, for those with dedication, perseverance and a solid support system, the journey into a new lifestyle is possible, just not easy.

Attacking the rescuers of those wounded in attacks—"a tactic long deemed by the U.S. as a hallmark of terrorism"—is now a routine practice by the U.S. in Pakistan, and the Obama administration has nothing to say about it, writes Glenn Greenwald in his first piece as a regular contributor to The Guardian.
Five alleged Pakistani militants connected to the Taliban warlord Hafiz Gul Bahadur were killed in a drone strike Saturday as the United States pressured Pakistan to attack Taliban forces that may become the country's crucial allies once foreign forces leave.

Imagine the uproar in this country if a jet took out a wedding party.

Last month, a "senior administration official" said the number of civilians killed in drone strikes in Pakistan under President Obama is in the "single digits." But last year "U.S. officials" said drones in Pakistan killed about 30 civilians in just a yearlong stretch under Obama.

President Barack Obama's acts consciously undermine the civilized order of modern society. The United States has quite deliberately made itself an outlaw state.

U.S. officials are awfully chuffed over the ability to reach out and bomb someone—most recently it's maybe, possibly, al-Qaida's No. 2 Abu Yahya al-Libi and at least four others. Pakistani complaints about a flurry of drone strikes in the last two weeks are falling on deaf ears.

Show of hands: Does anybody really understand the U.S. policy in Afghanistan? Can anyone figure out how we're supposed to stay the course and bring home the troops at the same time?
First the president spoke to the troops, then to the American people. In a live address from Afghanistan, Barack Obama echoed his predecessor: "I will not keep Americans in harm's way a single day longer than is absolutely required for our national security."
Why has the Obama administration committed itself to releasing more than $1 billion to a government that has challenged its attempt to bring to justice an alleged mastermind of cross-border terrorism?
Remember the name Khalid Sheik Mohammed? KSM, as he became known in the years after the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, is still accused of masterminding those attacks a decade later and is still being detained at Guantanamo Bay, but Wednesday brought news of movement in his case.

Stephen Hadley, a former official in ex-Vice President Dick Cheney's office, said in Munich that Europe must spend more if it wants to be a global player. The Europeans regard the George W. Bush administration record, and now the Obama administration's, and see the disastrous results of "global playing."
U.K.-based investigative reporters working with the Sunday Times have determined that "since Obama took office three years ago, between 282 and 535 civilians have been credibly reported as killed [by CIA drone attacks in Pakistan], including more than 60 children."
Claims made by NATO that Pakistan is in cahoots with the Afghan Taliban are tantamount to "old wine in an even older bottle," according to Pakistan's Foreign Minister Hina Rabbani Khar. However, this particular batch of wine represents thousands of mandatory conversations (read: interrogations) versus Khar's official denial.

According to Albert Breer of the NFL Network, after undergoing surgery on his broken left forearm, Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski is hoping to be back by week 14.
Gronkowski had screws inserted in his forearm at MGH this AM. He'll want to play during that Texans-Niners turn. That'd be awfully quick.
— Albert Breer (@AlbertBreer) November 19, 2012
If Gronkowski is able to get on the field by week 14, that would only be three weeks from now. He's expected to be out for 4-8 weeks.

- Royal Dutch Shell (RDS.A, RDS.B) plans to delay drilling a $100M-plus exploration well off Australia's northwest coast, in the latest example of reduced activity in the area due to the plunge in crude oil prices.
- Shell had expected to start drilling its Cronus-1 well this quarter in the Browse Basin, targeting a large gas discovery that has been called a "multi-trillion cubic feet" gas prospect, which lies north of BHP's Argus field and north-east of ConocoPhillips' Poseidon discovery.
- Wells by Japan's Inpex and South Africa's Santos planned off Western Australia's coast also have been deferred recently.
- Shell is still drilling development wells as planned at its $12B Prelude floating LNG project in the Browse Basin, and is a 25% partner in Chevron's $54B Gorgon LNG venture.
- BNSF Railway says it is cutting the speed of crude oil trains in some urban areas to as slow as 35 miles/hour, a 30% reduction, to improve safety following recent high-profile derailments in the U.S. and Canada.
- BNSF, owned by Berkshire Hathaway (BRK.A, BRK.B), says it also is stepping up efforts to find and repair defective wheels before they can cause derailments.
- The company says it already has doubled the frequency of track inspections near waterways, and now will inspect the track 2.5x more often than regulations require.
- BNSF hauls much of the oil produced in the Bakken region.
- A lawsuit in Oklahoma highlights a new worry for energy companies: the possibility of being forced to pay for damages from earthquakes if the tremors can be linked to oil and gas activity.
- Oklahoma has experienced 585 quakes of 3.0 or greater magnitude last year, more than the state had in the previous 30 years combined and the most of any state in the contiguous U.S. - even California.
- The tremors under investigation in Oklahoma and other oil-producing states have been too small to cause major damage, but the prospect of facing juries over quake-related claims is reverberating throughout the energy industry, which fears lawsuits and tighter regulations could increase costs and stall drilling.
- In financial statements, major area operators such as Continental Resources (NYSE:CLR) have flagged potential financial risks if earthquakes lead to stricter regulations; in Arkansas, BHP and Chesapeake Energy settled a case by five homeowners in 2013 for an undisclosed sum, and in Texas, a lawsuit against EOG Resources (NYSE:EOG) for quake-related damages is pending.
- Separately, a Bloomberg article today says CLR and its CEO, Harold Hamm, have tried to put pressure on scientific inquiries that linked Oklahoma earthquakes to fracking wastewater.
- Hercules Offshore (NASDAQ:HERO) discloses it was hit by a delisting notice from Nasdaq, which warns that the Company has 180 days, or until Sept. 21, to regain compliance with the minimum bid price requirement.
- To regain compliance, the minimum bid price of HERO's common stock must meet or exceed $1/share for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days during the 180-day grace period.

- Ensco (NYSE:ESV) -2.7% AH after disclosing it received a notice of early termination for its DS-4 drilling rig operating in the Gulf of Mexico, in the latest example of the severe downturn in the contract drilling market.
- BP is employing the drillship at a $560K dayrate with a contract set to expire in July 2016, and is utilizing ESV's DS-3 drilling rig in the Gulf at a $480K dayrate with a June 2016 expiration.
- ESV says it is marketing DS-4 to potential customers for new contracts beginning after the estimated termination date.
- Vaalco Energy (NYSE:EGY) -15% AH after saying its first exploration well on Block 5 offshore Angola was found to be water-bearing, and the well will be plugged and abandoned.
- The well was drilled to a total vertical depth of 1,829 meters; given the disappointing results, EGY says it will not go forward with earlier plans to drill to 2,250 meters for geologic and geophysical correlation.
- EGY says it completed the seismic processing of 2,025 sq. km of 3D data in the outboard portion of Block 5,and has identified several new pre-salt and post-salt leads as future exploration targets to be evaluated.
- Tetra Tech (NASDAQ:TTEK) says it was awarded a $1B contract for the U.S. Agency of International Development to support the implementation of USAID's Water and Development Strategy.
- Under the five-year indefinite delivery indefinite quantity contract, TTEK says it will provide engineering and consulting services to improve access to clean water and sanitation, and strengthen global food security through the sustainable management of water in agriculture.
- TTEK has a substantial history of supporting USAID in providing solutions to address critical water issues around the world.
- Green Brick Partners (NASDAQ:GRBK): Q4 EPS of $0.16
- Revenue of $67.57M (+21.3% Y/Y)
- Press Release
- Gazprom (OTCPK:OGZPY) says its 2014 earnings used to calculate dividends fell 70% Y/Y because of a foreign currency loss.
- Gazprom says its net income according to Russian accounting standards sank to 189B rubles from 628B rubles a year ago, which may translate into a payout of ~2 rubles/share vs. 7.2 rubles a year earlier as the company usually pays out 25% of domestic profit.
- Additionally, CEO Alexei Miller says the company is asking for government approval to provide Ukraine a discount on natural gas prices for three months beginning April 1 after Ukraine's state-owned oil and gas company sent a letter seeking to extend the current discount winter package to the end of winter of next year.
- As Iran nears a potential nuclear deal with U.S. that eases Western sanctions, the country is emerging again as a potential prize for Western oil companies such as BP, Royal Dutch Shell (RDS.A, RDS.B), Eni (NYSE:E) and Total (NYSE:TOT); the Chinese also are likely to enter the race, while U.S. companies are expected to be further down the pack.
- Iran is a big prize for oil companies, as it holds 10% of the world's oil reserves - no. 4 globally after Venezuela, Saudi Arabia and Canada and ahead of Iraq - and almost a fifth of global gas reserves - second only to Russia.
- Raymond James says Iran could add 500K bbl/day to world oil supply by year-end 2016 if an agreement is reached.
- However, experts believe Iran is in a much weaker position since it last negotiated with Western oil majors in the late 1990s, as Iraq is now open to outside investors, Mexico is allowing foreign investment in oil for the first time since 1938, and $50 oil has forced companies to focus on investments that deliver stronger returns and less risk.

- Enterprise Products Partners (NYSE:EPD) says CEO Michael Creel plans to retire as of Dec. 31, 2015; COO Jim Teague is selected to succeed Creel as CEO upon Creel's retirement at the end of the year.
- Teague has served as a director of EPD's general partner since 2008 and as COO since 2010; he joined EPD in 1999 after 23 years at Dow Chemical.
- EPD also names Randall Fowler as chief administrative officer effective April 1, and says the position will be added to the CEO and non-executive chairman to comprise the office of chairman.
- Exxon Mobil (XOM +2.4%) says it began production at its Hadrian South gas development in the deepwater Gulf of Mexico with facilities tied back to the nearby Lucius project, reducing additional infrastructure requirements.
- XOM expects daily gross production from Hadrian South, its deepest subsea tie-back in nearly a mile and a half of water, to reach ~300M cf of gas and 3K barrels of liquids from two wells.
- Hadrian South is a subsea production system with flowlines connected to the Anadarko-operated Lucius truss spar, which started production in January.
- With the startup of Hadrian South and Lucius, XOM's total Gulf of Mexico net production capacity has increased by more than 45K boe/day.
- XOM holds a 46.7% interest in Hadrian South, with partners Petrobras (NYSE:PBR) at 23.3% and Eni (NYSE:E) holding a 30% stake; XOM owns a 23.3% interest in Lucius.
- BP (BP +0.3%) believes fines above $2.3B for the 2010 Gulf of Mexico oil spill would threaten the solvency of its U.S. oil business and drain the unit's cash this year, even if U.S. crude returned to $100/bbl, according to court papers from Friday.
- BP argued for much lower fines, reiterating that its multibillion-dollar response to stem the environmental impact of the spill and "herculean" efforts by its workers merit a smaller penalty.
- BP said a high penalty could force the BPXP unit to cut from its 2,300 jobs, $5B in annual spending and future oil production in the Gulf region, and that it would damage the business if forced to sell off $1B-$3B in assets to pay off spill liabilities.
- In rebuttal, the U.S. government said one of its experts showed at trial that BPXP could pay the highest potential fines by borrowing money from its internal credit line or from external sources, by using future cash flows tied to oil reserves or by selling assets.
- U.S. District Judge Barbier in New Orleans could level fines as high as $13.7B against BP after the company files final reply briefs in late April.

Bailey was a German Shepherd puppy that we owned about five years ago. He was a bit more than we could handle at the time and we found him a new home with a young son who could give Bailey the attention he deserved. I'm happy to say they are the best of friends now.
Good New Group – My favourite toy – October 09
What a gorgeous creature, Tricia. They ARE a handful at that age, but I'm sure you miss him
Thanks John. Yes, we do miss him, but I'm sure he's happier now. We had German Shepherds before, but Bailey needed more exercise than we could manage and we didn't feel it was fair for him. As my husband and I have matured, we now have a smaller dog that fits better into our more sedate lifestyle!
– triciamary
I know the feeling, Tricia. My own solution ( having owned a much missed Border Collie for 14 years), is to take other people's dogs for a walk, and then hand them back!
Love your Bailey. We also had a German Shepard called "Oliver" that we had to send to dream land and our "Bailey" is a golden Retriever that replaced him. But you have a lovely shot of him.
Thank you for your lovely comments. Dogs become such a part of your family, don't they?

Congratulations This photograph has been chosen by the group hosts to be FEATURED alongside the Top 10 works in the German Shepherd Dog Challenge in Photography Challenge Group.
Beautiful German Shepherd puppy! There's only one thing better than a German Shepherd puppy and that's TWO of them!!!! :)))
They are full of energy at that age as you know from your experience with Bailey, but when they settle down they are just the best that there is!
Thank you Vivian. We've had several Shepherds over the years and we know the joy and loyalty they give. They are such a wonderful breed but do need a lot of exercise which we just couldn't give him. He is very happy with his new family and we are glad we made the decision that was the best for him. Thank you for the lovely comments.

A look at what NKorea vow to scrap armistice means
"By disavowing the armistice, North Korea is sending a reminder about just how flimsy the peace regime on the Korean Peninsula is," said John Delury, a professor at Yonsei University in Seoul. "In Pyongyang's mind anyhow, this serves to reinforce their argument that formal peace talks and a new security architecture is a prerequisite to full denuclearization."
But it also stirs fear among South Koreans.
People in Seoul are famously unimpressed with North Korean bluster, but the DMZ is only an hour's drive from the bustling capital.
"The North Korean threat is a blade that cuts at both the United States and at South Koreans," said Lee Ho-chul, a North Korea analyst at Incheon National University in South Korea. "For South Koreans, it's a threat that North Korean forces will now ignore the military demarcation line. That can cause worries among ordinary South Koreans."
Actually tearing up the cease-fire could remove an important psychological shield for South Koreans as they pursue building one of Asia's premier economies.
"I'm worried North Korea may be trying to provoke a war," restaurant worker Lee Hui-sook said in Seoul when asked about the threat. "I feel much more insecure than in the past about whether my country can handle North Korea."
Since the 1990s, North Korea has frequently threatened to scrap the armistice. In 1996 it followed such a threat by sending hundreds of armed troops into Panmunjom. South Korea boosted its surveillance to its highest level in 15 years, and the troops later withdrew.
The context of the latest threat, however, is important.
This one follows five years of abysmal ties between the Koreas, during which Seoul's hardline president was met by North Korean nuclear and rocket tests. Attacks blamed on Pyongyang in 2010 killed 50 South Koreans.
New President Park Geun-hye is settling into office in Seoul after making promises to re-engage the North, but with a vague policy about how to get that done.
The North's latest statement is unusually specific, warning of "lighter and smaller nukes" and "surgical strikes," and is seen as noteworthy by Seoul because a senior military official from the Korean People's Army Supreme Command issued the threats on state TV.
But North Korea has made surprisingly specific threats in the past, including vowing to destroy the headquarters of major South Korean newspapers last year, and then later backed away.
"They make such statements a few times in the average year," Andrei Lankov, a professor at Kookmin University in Seoul, said. "Perhaps it makes them feel good. But practical impact? Zero."
South Korea's military is taking the North's threats seriously.
Army Maj. Gen. Kim Yong-hyun, an official with the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said in nationally televised remarks Wednesday that North Korea was told that the drills starting Monday, which involve 10,000 South Korean and 3,500 U.S. forces, are defensive.
He also indicated that North Korea and its military leadership will suffer if there are any attacks.
"If North Korea goes ahead with provocations and threatens the lives and safety of South Koreans, our military will strongly and sternly retaliate against the command and its supporting forces," he said.

How to make rainwater safe for consumption
Hi All...
I recently moved into a house that has its' water supply coming in via a cistern. My husband and I were having filtered water trucked in, but it was getting expensive. Currently, we are harvesting rainwater via our roof and downspout and that has helped with costs. However, I have concerns that this is not safe to consume for us and our young children. The water is not being filtered as it is coming in - just goes through a softener. I almost always get my water from the refrigerator, which has a filter in it, but from the research I have done, that filter doesn't really purify it.
I am looking for a solution to purify the rainwater coming in for drinking purposes only (just the kitchen). I am ok with using it in other areas of the home as is - bathing, laundry, etc.
Would love to hear options and opinions...
I would absolutely filter it.
You do have other options.
1 = boil
2 iodine
both should make it safe as far as pathogens, but not stuff like toxins, metals etc...
i use city water, but i have a dual filter.
1st is a 10 micron carbon block
2nd is a .7 micron filter.
Its hard to find the smaller size (less than 1 um)
but they are around.
here is a .5
i love this chart, it tells me everything i need...
Carbon should get rid of a lot, you may even be able to make a sand/carbon filter.
I am guessing you could keep the rain barrel elevated for pressure, and run PVC pipes to a home water filter like this...
Here is a link that might be useful: chart LINK

Automotive Dealers - Using a digital campaign to bring buyers to your bricks-and-mortar showroom

Meir Panim delivers warmth, special care to families in need.
Israel is a Jewish country – but can it continue to be so when Judaism threatens to destroy the state?
The unfair longstanding attacks on Israel's legitimacy are a permanent stain on the international community. For over 60 years, Israel has valiantly grown under hostile conditions while fighting lies and half-truths in the international arena. Israel suffers doubly, however, when its very essence, its Jewish character, supports its opponents' narrative.
With this in mind, we must reluctantly examine the damage inflicted by a recent rabbinic pronouncement.
Over the past weeks, many rabbis in Israel have publicized halachic rulings forbidding Jews to rent or sell homes to non-Jews. Doing so, they argue, violates Torah prohibitions and causes the deterioration of Jewish neighborhoods. Jews move away from communities when gentiles – in this case, Arabs – move in, leaving neighborhoods and cities transitioning from Jewish to gentile majorities. This is halachically, socially and nationalistically unacceptable. To prevent this, the rabbis insist, Jews must refrain from renting or selling homes to non-Jews.
The halachic basis of these pronouncements is complex and debatable. In theory, gentiles living in Israel have the option of becoming a ger toshav (resident alien) and acquiring full citizen rights under the Torah (as opposed to Israeli citizenship, which is entirely different).
However, according to many authorities, technical reasons prevent anyone from becoming a ger toshav today. Others hold that these technical reasons can be bypassed. If authorities rule strictly, they create a dilemma for gentiles in Israel today. These Israeli citizens cannot rent or buy homes because they are not gerei toshav – but due to no fault of their own they can never attain that status. What are they to do?
The problem is that even discussing this issue in anything other than a theoretical context damages Israel on multiple levels. Yes, the halachic issues are worthy of serious exploration. But they must be seen as hilchisa dimeshicha, rules that will become relevant only in a messianic world. Any other perspective amounts to discrimination, an attitude that supports Israel's opponents, drives even more American Jews away from supporting Israel and cools the enthusiasm of many of Israel's unquestioning supporters.
Who can defend such blatant unfairness? Particularly to Americans, such discrimination is distasteful and embarrassing.
Writing in British Palestine, Chief Rabbi Yitzchak Herzog argued that a Jewish state must give gentiles full rights, even if it requires adopting minority halachic views, because anything else will deter international support. He was right then and remains correct today.
The favored tactic of Israel's current opponents is denouncing it as an apartheid state. Supporters of Israel struggle to explain to an unreceptive public that Israel's policies may appear discriminatory but are really based on security concerns. This is an uphill battle that we are losing, along with an increasing portion of unconvinced Jewish youth. When Israeli rabbis declare that Judaism is unabashedly discriminatory against gentiles, they inadvertently push away international support the country desperately needs. They provide ammunition to their enemies, drive away potential supporters and, perhaps most importantly, alienate their most ardent supporters.
I write this with trembling and tears because I revere the rabbis I am discussing. I am not contradicting or belittling them, but imploring them to take greater account of perspectives across the ocean. The problems they identify are real but Judaism offers other options that are not discriminatory and are therefore more attractive to the general public.
There are other ways to maintain Jewish neighborhoods. Instead of excluding gentiles, we can speak of integrated neighborhoods where Jewish culture is safeguarded. If safety is a concern, we need not exclude all non-Jews but only those people, Jewish or gentile, who cause trouble. From across the ocean, we wonder why rabbis only issue declarations against renting or selling to gentiles, and not against renting to non-religious or violently religious Jews. Of course, we bear a special bond to our coreligionists, but that does not adequately answer the question. The solutions sought in dealing with religious neighborhoods that deteriorate due to the infusion of unsavory Jewish elements should be applied to unsavory gentiles as well.
We fully support Israel and its rabbis. We implore its rabbis to help us grow this support and teach a new generation about the beauty of Judaism and the Jewish state.

My poverty in this sense pales in comparison to that of the next generation, who have only a distant notion of who this great man was and his sprawling impact.
The Internet is a medium that has made its way in its short existence all the way to the center of contemporary life. Many of our daily tasks are now tied to it, and will be more so in the future.
In light of all the attention that the recent Internet Asifa garnered, we thought it wise to offer this analysis on the subject by Rabbi Gil Student, founder of TorahMusings.com and former managing editor of OU Publications.
Israel is a Jewish country – but can it continue to be so when Judaism threatens to destroy the state?
The unfair longstanding attacks on Israel's legitimacy are a permanent stain on the international community. For over 60 years, Israel has valiantly grown under hostile conditions while fighting lies and half-truths in the international arena. Israel suffers doubly, however, when its very essence, its Jewish character, supports its opponents' narrative.
There are two types of people in the world – those who are inspired by Mussar and those who are turned off by it.
Mussar is a school of study that teaches religious self-improvement. Traditional Mussar, as practiced in many yeshivas to this day, has a rabbi exhorting his listeners, often yelling at them, to be more careful in their actions and attitudes. This is frequently accompanied with a Torah insight and maybe even a good parable. But it can be scary: fire, brimstone, judgment day – all the horrible implications of religious failure, in graphic detail.

I've bought it online and used coupon. So for the price, it is fair enough. But it is only online product, i can not return it at outlet. So I have to take risk because it's not free return. It is fine. You don't get any surprise, either good or bad. And no surprises is what we want for this kind of stuff. I bought it for my desktop computer which I've brought from London. Now I can use this Universal Power Plug Adapter not only for my computer but also for my worldwide traveling. Design and button, it's easy to use.

For several years, you've been able to book charter flights on the Internet and now, as we've reported in Business Jet Traveler, there's a retail store in London–The Jet Business–where you can actually walk in off the street and buy an airplane.

In his recent Business Jet Traveler interview with Elite Aviation owner Chris Holifield, journalist Matt Thurber noted that "you don't see a lot of women-owned aviation businesses." Bizav, he said, is "a boys' club." It sure is, and so is the rest of the aviation world.

These days, everybody complains about the airlines–rotten food, TSA hassles, cramped seating, long delays, lost luggage. And while private jet travelers are a decidedly happier lot, they've been known to offer the occasional gripe as well–the charter flight lacked sufficient baggage space, the catering service overcharged, the FBO disappointed.

Recently, my wife and I attended a college-planning event at our son's high school. It doesn't seem all that long ago that Andre was 5 and we were taking notes at an orientation session for parents of new kindergarteners, but here we are. He's 17 now and, with a little luck and a lot of our money, he'll be heading off to college next year.

My relationship with rock and roll—which began when I was in grade school and watching American Bandstand in the 1950s—deepened in the next decade as the music and I hit our teenage years. I started collecting records, attending lots of concerts and eventually writing about popular music for magazines and newspapers.

Naturally, the editors of Business Jet Traveler hope that you'll find every article we publish to be tailor-made for your needs. But of course that's impossible: last time I checked, we had 35,633 subscribers and–beyond the fact that they presumably share an interest in business aviation–they're all different.

anyone have 'Magness' scion wood to share?
I have two callery rootstocks already planted where I want them and ready to graft onto if anyone has scion wood to share with me. I'm pretty sure I want to try a magness and I was thinking a warren for the other, but I'm open to suggestions. I already have a moonglow and a kiefer, and I had a comice until fireblight killed it this past year. I ate a comice pear when I was in Oregon once, and it was definitely the best pear I've ever eaten. It was so good I might like to try another comice in a different location.
I also wanted to ask about a couple things I found searching the internet. Green Mantle Nursery said magness and warren were possibly the same tree. Can that be? And then Cummins Nursery says potomac is the highest quality fireblight resistant pear. Should I be thinking potomac instead? Or maybe shenandoah? Are any of those patented?
I'd be glad to swap wood or seeds or ... or pay for shipping if anyone has any wood to share. Thanks!
Magness and Warren are not the same, here in Connecticut. Although they are similar, Magness is a higher quality pear. Warren is more disease resistant.
Like a lot of pears they seem to take forever to bear.
They both appear to be immune to scab and fire blight.
In my opinion Magness is a better quality pear then Comice, as grown here
Bob, zone 5 Connecticut
Agree, everything I've seen from folks who've fruited both, indicates that they're similar, but not the same.
Reports are that both are pollen-sterile, hence cannot pollenize any other pears, and produce little or no nectar, and as a result are not especially attractive to pollenators. Some have recommended grafting individual branches of Warren into existing trees of other varieties, to enhance likelihood of visits by pollenators, rather than grafting free-standing trees of Warren itself.
I have a free-standing tree of Warren - planted along with a dozen other varieties, and it does set fruit, but sparingly. Magness has not yet fruited here.
I think I'm set on scion wood now -- thank you -- but I'd still like to hear other's thoughts on varieties. I'm especially still curious what others think of Potomac and/or Shenandoah.
On a related note, a neighbor gave me a very large rusty looking pear last fall that I assumed was an Asian pear because it was round and crispy like an Asian pear, but someone else told me that Asian pears are all pretty new to the US, and I know this tree was grafted 15-30 years ago from a local tree that was pretty mature already at that time. In any case, I thought the pear was very good. Is it actually a European pear? Is it true that any tree that was in North Carolina 25+ years ago isn't as Asian pear? All of my neighbors just refer to it as a pear, not an Asian pear or otherwise part of a different a category from regular pears.
My question seems like a dumb one now that you've told me the answer. It must be an Asian or Asian hybrid then. How readily to Asian and European pears cross/hybridize? With callery, European, and Asian pears growing in the area, if I were to grow a tree from a Euro or Asian seed would I be likely to get a cross? I don't think I have any reason to try, but I'm just curious.

Need install advice Singlehung window
We are in the process of replacing a large single hung window. It is flush to the stucko outside. There is no mention of how to seal this window (PGT) I know that when patio doors were installed they used 2 rows of caulk at the bottom but what do you do with single hung windows. Right now we are set even with stuco but I can stick my fingers in between the bottom edge of window and stuco. What do you fill this large void with? It seems to be floating within the opening. We have it temporarily tacked now. Please tell me what we are doing wrong or right?
Hi jjaazzy,
If the manufacturerÂs instructions for installing the window donÂt explain how to seal it properly, I suggest you go back to the store you bought the window from and ask their advice. They will be able to help you determine which method is best suited for your house. If you have purchased a window that doesnÂt fit property, they should be able to help you with that as well.
Your window issue is probably based off the fact that your old window had what we call a "Sloped Sill". The older styled windows had an angled slope with a bull nose that dropped down in that space. More than likely the installer may have ordered your new window to fit into your existing interior casing. In most cases when we order these type of windows we install a board under them and add a snap on bull nose to the new window to fill the void. It's hard to know without a picture.
Thank you Grogers & Guy after tinkering around with this I finally called the company and the girl just assumed I was installing into cbs. Most houses south are cbs but I am placing this on 2nd story and it is stick. She admittedly said she didnÂt ask enough questions, I did give her rough opening but apparently there were more details she should have asked. She apologized and we just put in trim pieces on each side to snug up the window then we will caulk, stucco, window foam fill and caulk some more. There isn't much space around the window about 1" or so. I hope that were not missing something I wish it wasnÂt the weekend cause I would call them again to make sure. I am so worried about water. But thank you for your help I appreciate it.
