I pre-ordered this from Dave's website and got the digital copy immediately. LOVE IT!! You can't copy it onto cd or anything, just ipod compatible, but GREAT! This album was all I could wish for and more. I saw him in concert in September I believed it was, and he played a few of these songs, so I was amped for the album to come out. My roommates and I have listened to all of the songs and love them!Was this review helpful? Yes NoThank you for your feedback. Report this reviewThank you, this review has been flagged.

Subdivision of Existing Plot with Building Construction by Original Owner
There is a case,
Where a part of the Plot (Chennai-Corporation) was sold by the original owner. And me being the purchaser.
The part purchased by me is Vacant, And the part retained by the original owner is already constructed.
Now I am planning to go for a Proposal, which requires sub-division from the Corporation for sanction of building plan which i am planning to construct.
What is the procedure.
From sources I learned that the Subdivision should be approached by both the parties.
And the constructed Building should be demolished, if the same was not constructed as per plan.
In this case the building in the part retained by the original owner is not constructed as per plan.
This is the problem / issue being faced.
What should be the next step

A spell for a penny
A new source of power and wealth - a new source of conflict and danger.
The beast within became the beast without; ferocity and might blossoming in corpore upon the flesh.
Whether in pencil-and-paper, or on the computer (Baldur's Gate, Icewind Dale), we've been plagued by the gnome stereotype of foolish inventor and chaotic law-infringing businessman. I guess it's time to change that. I've decided to throw a bone: help me make the gnomes a race worth featuring in an RPG.
You've probebly heard of the real Thomas Hopkins, Witchfinder-General, who hunted down and hanged suspected "witches". What if there was a world/realm where magic was normal, and it was the non-witches and non-wizards who were hunted down and hanged as inferior beings?

[1] Uncertainty in the Pan-Arctic Ice-Ocean Modeling and Assimilation System (PIOMAS) Arctic sea ice volume record is characterized. A range of observations and approaches, including in situ ice thickness measurements, ICESat retrieved ice thickness, and model sensitivity studies, yields a conservative estimate for October Arctic ice volume uncertainty of 1.35 × 103 km3 and an uncertainty of the ice volume trend over the 1979–2010 period of 1.0 × 103 km3 decade–1. A conservative estimate of the trend over this period is −2.8 × 103 km3 decade–1. PIOMAS ice thickness estimates agree well with ICESat ice thickness retrievals (<0.1 m mean difference) for the area for which submarine data are available, while difference outside this area are larger. PIOMAS spatial thickness patterns agree well with ICESat thickness estimates with pattern correlations of above 0.8. PIOMAS appears to overestimate thin ice thickness and underestimate thick ice, yielding a smaller downward trend than apparent in reconstructions from observations. PIOMAS ice volume uncertainties and trends are examined in the context of climate change attribution and the declaration of record minima. The distribution of 32 year trends in a preindustrial coupled model simulation shows no trends comparable to those seen in the PIOMAS retrospective, even when the trend uncertainty is accounted for. Attempts to label September minima as new record lows are sensitive to modeling error. However, the September 2010 ice volume anomaly did in fact exceed the previous 2007 minimum by a large enough margin to establish a statistically significant new record.

Are you bluish? you don't look bluish.,
This review is from: Yellow Submarine [Blu-ray] [2012] (Blu-ray)
I will never forget growing up watching this as a kid. I loved the songs, the colours the monsters. I am sure it is directly turning me into the total loony I have turned into now in adulthood. I don't actually have a copy of this myself but I will be purchasing one now that I know it is available on Blu-ray. Then I will subject my nieces to it and they will benefit from the same insanity that I did.
This movie is very responsible for my art. I still draw the same types of monsters and swirly crazy stuff in my pictures, though they are all black now. The art in this movie is extremely crazy and very entertaining. It has stayed with me all these years.
I would recommend this great little number to anyone who either likes the beetles or is just looking for a babysitter for your little ones. There is nothing offensive in this and is quite safe to put a child in front of. its full of very wacky humour and colourful sequences, some can make you very dizzy so be warned. Some parts can be very flashy too.
its about a bunch of lads (Beetles band) making their way through an adventure to help wake up Sargent peppers lonely hearts club band due to the repressive after affects of the blue meanies, its totally nuts. The blue meanies are so funny its unreal.
There is lots of classic beetles numbers to sing along to and is for kids and adults alike....damn it now I want to watch it again.
Ablueterate them!!!

Because there was no vancancy in the other hotels and B&B's in Driggs we just found 2 rooms in the B.W. Teton West. And surprisingly it was OK.

Checked into this hotel/motel in tiny Driggs, Idaho. I can't say enough good things about the young lady, Leidy, who checked me in. Such a friendly young lady!

We stayed 3 nights and were very satisfied with the room. The facility is older but well maintained. The staff were extremely helpful.

We stayed here the weekend of 9/26-9/28 since Jackson, WY was not in our budget. The front desk was very friendly. The room was small for four of us, but well appointed.

This Best Western had the best staff I have ever dealt with. Friendly, helpful, and well trained. The hotel was extremely clean, even though it's not the prettiest. Loved staying in Driggs, away from the Jackson crowds. Will definitely return to this place next trip.

The location was great for the finish on my 50 mile race in the Grand Tetons. Room was old and appliances were dated, but clean and plenty of hot water. Short 1 night trip. Skipped breakfast, so I am not sure of how it was. Internet was good.

We chose this hotel for our budget. We could not find anything in Jackson Wy for less than $250. We liked Driggs. The Hotels was oldr and should be considered to upgrade, but it was a nights rest.

Night Owls: Leather and Lace
I hope your week is going well! I must say, there are loads of items that I'm gazing at online at the moment, though most seem to be in patterns, olive green, or taupe hues. I have finally been able to wear my new gloves and scarves for a bit. But, I've also enjoyed remixing older pieces from my wardrobe due to having limited access (to my entire collection) at the moment.
It's always a nice feeling to wear an article of clothing that brings to mind special memories, whether it's the memory of when you acquired the garment or a significant period that was happening in your life. This jacket was exactly that! My co-worker somehow scored 2 tickets to a dinner theatre and could not attend, so she gave them to me instead! I decided on this outfit because I had been wanting to wear this vintage jacket again for some time, so I finally brought it out!
This outfit marries two things that I love, vintage and lace, both a little modern and dated!
Have you ever felt happy with your outfit no matter how simple it might be—the sun is gleaming down at you, and everything about your day seems to be going on your side. Yes, I believe I had one of those days!
As for the outing, our dinner was excellent, however the theatre was less than underwhelming. But, you know what, I really can't complain too much for a night out without us having to spend any money at all! This was a rare moment, so I took it all in and focused on the positive highlights of our night ... the laughter and great conversation, amongst many other things. And now, I have one more special memory to add about wearing this jacket.

Does anyone know of any library of this type in London? Any recommendations?
I have read a few articles mentioning this library but, did not undertand how it worked. Picturing reports, case studies, and technical sheets of the materials packed into boxes it is a pleasant surprise to see the library in video with samples to play with.
The man in the video made an interesting and encouraging mention of the 21st century as one of sustainable materials.
FYI, the aluminum foam mentioned in this article is produced by Cymat Technologies in Ontario Canada and is marketed under the brand name "Alusion". As an architectural material, it is used for cladding walls interior and exterior, as ceiling tiles, for trade booths, signs, etc. Info can be found at alusion.com.
Do they have a panel for asbestos?
Are you serious ? Asbestos fibers have been blacklisted for decades as one of the most dangerous natural substances to human health. Millions have been spent removing asbestos insulation from buildings, asbestos fire-proofing etc. etc. The scientific community spent years convincing all governments to ban asbestos use anywhere, albeit so far with limited success at least in the developing world.
First time I noticed this: the economist has that meticulous management of quantum physics, where energy and momentum are closely associated with time and distance and all are handled with distinct, careful efficiency for the proper implications in text and voice messages. Very coool. That will be around a long time.
Do they have a panel for asbestos? Wizard material for fireproofing, roofing and an amazing variety of indoor cladding applications.
Mushrooms for packaging materials? That's fantastic! I was so excited to see the blurb about translucent concrete...I've had an idea for awhile now about creating buildings completely out of transparent materials, to allow natural sunlight in and assist in vertical gardening. Wall space, inside and out of buildings, is the biggest waste of space. I sometimes daydream about a city of part-time farmers who can pick all their own food same day...it'll happen one of these days, and when it does I'm moving :)
There are some building companies which are using used plastic bottles to build houses, and more and more new buildings around the world are incorporating new things in order to be self-sufficient energy consumers.
TED has a great talk (among many great talks) by a developer of mushroom packaging. It could be the future, I for one would certainly prefer to compost packaging rather than throwing out styrofoam. I think economies of scale would be a challenge though...

This week, I want to continue the thought process and analyze how content curation can inform our own content creation. Content marketing should not be blindly… read more →
Bloggers and webmasters are typically aware of the fact that images make their content perform better. Most savvy bloggers will tell you that they spend a great deal of time tracking down photos, graphs, and other images for this very purpose. The safest way to incorporate images into your content is to use either 1) your own images or 2)… read more →
The search engine optimization community has been up in arms over the past couple of weeks about the removal of Google Author photos from the search engine results pages (SERPs). For those of you who are unfamiliar with the Google Author photos and how they've appeared in the past, here is a sample: As you can see, it's a pretty… read more →
Every blogger faces it sooner or later – a big fat wall that slows or prevents the build out of great posts. In most cases, it isn't the actual process of writing that is the problem. It is just getting harder and harder to find blog topics that will help you stand out. If you have dealt with this problem,… read more →
We've all witnessed the transformation of marketing in the past decade. With digital technologies have come a variety of new options for targeting and reaching out to both potential and current customers. Where we once had direct marketing, mass media advertising and similar tactics, we now have search marketing, social media, pay-per-click advertising, mobile marketing and more. The going assumption… read more →

This is an abandoned cement processing plant along an abandoned railroad line just north of downtown Miami. The line provides a corridor for graffiti artists, but is otherwise completely empty- over a mile of open track, a sort of no-man's land in the shadow of modern skyscrapers.
A very urban/industrial/apocalyptic work.

Overheard but Under Listened
Captain's log, Stardate July 2112:
Fascinating! Unearthing the massive data storage facility here in Utah must be very much like what finding the Dead Sea Scrolls in the caves of Qumran was like. What a snapshot into a previous era!
It's 2112. This is the year that the rock band Rush imagined that the brotherhood of man would need to be set free from the tyranny of the Priests of the Temple of Syrinx. They imagined a man named Anonymous would find a guitar, make music and set humanity free. Well, they were partly right, it was 2110 and her name was not Anonymous.
What our earliest human ancestors understood was that words have the power to build or to destroy. Thus, they attributed to their ancient understanding of the Divine the power of speech and thus creativity: "And God said, 'let there be light' and there was light (Gen 1:3). The great Chafetz Hayim, from whom we base our holy practice is Shemirat Halashon (guarding the tongue) understood that the right words lift people up. My favorite:
Yes. Yes. Yes! Yeeeeessss!
But when people are at their most vulnerable, the wrong words can shape the ego in ways that can take decades to undo:
You are so stupid.
What were you thinking!?
You'll never be able to do that.
Thank heavens we in the year 2112 know better. To be generous, our ancestors from the early 21st century began to understand that words indeed have meaning and real power, even if they were very bad at knowing which words were positive and which were negative. Their comical solution, amass large stockpiles of communication. Here in Bluffdale, Utah, the US National Security Agency built a then massive storage for email, phone records, and other digital information. The hope that they would someday be able to find meaning in their treasure proved greater than their laws protecting privacy. They stored Zettabytes and even Yottabytes of records. Alas.
In 2013, the now famous, Ed Snowden,helped bring brought data treasures to greater light. A mighty conversation about privacy took place. Indeed, as opined in the New York Times (The Service of Snowden, 6.27.13), history has treated his actions favorably. From our vantage in 2112, is is clear that the government and its contracted agents in 2013 did not know what they had caught in their massive data sweeps. Why else did they leave so many vital messages unexplored as unimportant? Consider the following unsent emails we have collected from those unearthed stockpiles:
I'm sorry.
I still love you.
Why me?
Will I find a way out?
I hope I can keep my home.
Please don't take the kids.
I hope they find that son-of-a-bitch.
I really need that job.
I've never been so scared.
Why won't somebody help me?
Every word has power. Everything we say has meaning.
In the 21 century they heard everything, but they never listened.

Silence or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the NSA
Sooner or later, everything you say or do will be recorded. The internet, like an elephant, never forgets.
I'm sure that I could have gone far in Miss America competitions, not the bikini part of course. Nobody needs that! I mean the interview part. I'm pretty good at saying partially interesting-partially idiotic things such as these gems from listmania's 10 (True) Stupid Comments Miss America Contestants Have Made:
"My most important role model is Mother Teresa, because she's just so awesome!"
"No, I don't think the Miss America Pageant denigrates women. Well… maybe the ugly one…"
"I have always admired you, Mr. Parker. Especially your drive to get dogs neutral."
"The world would be a better place if all blind people could see."
The need to say something is so great that a person might just blab on and say something stupid, or worse. I've been present when someone asked a woman who was no longer a size zero, "When are you due?" And sure enough, the woman was not pregnant. I didn't say that awful thing, but the horror of that moment stopped the earth it's orbit. It was a long moment, seared into my neural pathways. In that pregnant pause one could hear the angels of heaven's choir collectively gasp. Since that moment I never comment on a woman's pregnancy, not even a "you look great!" I imagine a day when a friend's water might break and will be on the phone with 911 for an ambulance, and I'll say, "Oh, you're pregnant?"
In the Mishnah (200 C.E.) Rabbi Shimon taught the following lesson: "I was raised among the wise, and I have found that there is nothing more becoming a person than silence" (Avot 1:17). (The literal translation reads 'nothing is better for one's body (tov la'guf) than silence).
Yes, silence is golden. I knew that, but I forgot it a decade ago when I was asked to volunteer at a charity golf event. I'm not a golfer. The deal was to ask each golfer at the tee of the ninth hole for another five bucks toward the charity or let me, the non-golfing rabbi, tee off for the player. Everybody paid – golfers are dumb. In any case, another volunteer was stationed there with me and as it was, we quickly ran out of things to say. Why did I have to be leaning on the Par Aide golfball washer? Why, in that moment, did I have to be mindlessly playing, up and down, with its plunger? More importantly, why couldn't I keep from speaking just for the sake of speaking?
"Why don't any of these guys stop to wash their balls," I asked? The horror on the face of the other volunteer, a woman I had never met, snapped the rewind of the previous five seconds and I realized just what I had said. Why don't any of these guys stop to wash their balls? Did I say that? Shit!
The National Security Agency is listening to our phone calls and tracking our internet usage. Google Now (aka,Today) knows everything about us, and is learning to monetize your likes and dislikes, as well as every search you've ever done – ever! It seems safe to say that everything you say is being recorded and will live on forever as some horrid proof of Neitzche's theory of Eternal Recurrence.
Woody Allen: "Great. That means I'll have to sit through the Ice Capades again."
To my mind, there are two likely outcomes to the showdown that modernity is having between the right to privacy and the amassed personal data now available in digital age:
Just as the Beastie Boys would for their right to party, people are going to fight like mad for their right to privacy. It's already happening. Laws for privacy will stand, but we are so addicted to what interconnectivity can do for us that we will continue to willingly forfeit our privacy.
Some people will embrace that there is no such thing as privacy anymore. These people have never run out of things to say on a golf course or have have greater powers of denial than I. They simply hope that technological security will keep one step ahead of the digital- ne'er-do-wells. It hasn't and it won't. The announcement that the Pentagon's Cyber Command plans to form thirteen offensive teams by 2015 should dispel us of that naive mindset.
I'd like to suggest an alternative. We should become practiced in the wisdom of Rabbi Shimon, who taught that silence is healthy for us humans. Isn't silence precisely the counterbalance to the pathology of needing to fill every moment with having something to say? Since the digital-age seems bent on preserving every idiotic thing we say along with the brilliant and quotable. I wonder about the moment in the not so distant future in which we have learned to accept that everything we say is heard and being recorded -will we also learn to be more intentional in what we say? Maybe then I'll be allowed back on a golf course. Until then, the virtue of appreciating silence as wisdom is needed more than ever before.

Rescuing Grace
I was speaking with a friend who was trying mightily to do the right thing in a tough situation. She was visiting Senior Living apartments with her ailing mother who both did and didn't want to move. She was trying to balance intervening on her mother's behalf with letting her mother make her own choices. My friend was doing everything she could, but still was not sure she was getting the balance right. There are no graceful ways through the messy chapters of our lives. When I told her that I would pray for grace on her behalf, she asked, "Is grace Jewish?"
Some words, some ideas, especially where religion or politics are involved, fall out of favor when they become associated with something 'other'. "Grace" is such a word. Is 'grace' a Jewish idea? It is – the Biblical Hebrew term "Hen' means 'grace' – but we don't talk about it much because it sounds so christian (which is not in and of itself a bad thing).
Grace: Unmerited divine assistance, a virtue coming from God (such as kindness, courtesy, thoughtfulness).
We are, we humans, such a confounding species. While we are capable of lofty thoughts and complex reasoning, nonetheless we also have our reptilian brains – associated with the functions of the basil ganglia. The evolutionary functions of our reptilian brains account for our jealousy, our anger, our aggression, our survivalist selfishness. It also accounts for our fears, our desire for revenge, our protectiveness of our tribe (why we feel close to our smaller circles and suspicious of others) and our base desire to keep what is ours (my favorite example from childhood: "See with your eyes not with your hands").
To be sure, we are also capable of kindness, of love, of forgiveness, of understanding, of patience, and of acts of selflessness. It can often take great effort and will to listen to the calling of these higher attributes of our humanity over and above the din of our fears and insecurities coursing through our basil ganglia.
It seems to be our biological lot to bounce between the persons we are and the persons we wish we could always be. Try as we may, and successful as we may sometimes be, what it means to get the balance of our lives just right, is to find, or more accurately to accept the grace that God extends to us. It is impossible for us to balance our animal-selves with our angelic-selves on our own at all times. By simple example: We might fast on Yom Kippur to be like angels, but inevitably we get hungry. We are humans after-all, with a biology, a physiology, a psychology that keeps even the most saintly among us from being perfect all the time.
Why must I feel like this today
I'm a soldier but afraid sometimes
To face the things that may
Block the sun from shinin' rays
And fill my life with shades of grey
But still I long to find a way
So today I pray for grace – Pray for Grace, Lyrics by Michael Franti
We are not inherently graceful. We may get close to controling our impulses, but we are never rid of our baser selves. We are bound to be less than perfect. The idea that grace is a human trait is an illusion. Grace is inherently divine and is a gift of God's love. By extension, gracefulness, is the act of embracing God's love of our imperfect selves. Grace is something granted to us, not as a reward for our right actions, but whenever we are able to receive God's love – even when we fear we don't quite deserve it.
Grace: Unmerited divine assistance, a virtue coming from God (such as kindness, courtesy, thoughtfulness).
Within the Priestly Blessings described in the Book of Numbers, famous words used to this day to bless the people, including on Friday nights our children is this phrase:
Ya'er Adonai Panav Elecha v'Chuneka
May God's illumined face enlighten you and grant you grace.
It is difficult to believe in a God this unconditionally loving and accepting of us. This is our on-going challenge: Rescuing grace not from Christianity, but from our own suspicion that such acceptance of our imperfections is possible.

Accidentally 1%
"There will be no poor among you…" – Deut. 15:4
Last night I was stranded in a Mercedes E Class in the parking lot of my favorite vegan restaurant. It was the most expensive car in the lot by tens of thousands of dollars. Other than the new, sleek black Benz with the dead battery that I was sitting in, the newest car in the lot looked to be a late 90's Subaru splattered with lefty bumper-stickers and a license plate that read "MS YOGA".
I called Mercedes' Roadside Assistant. Katie answered.
"Mercedes Benz Roadside Assistance, this is Katie. Can I help you?"
"I'm in a loaner care from Mercedes Benz of Encino," I told her, and then I explained that the cool car I had been driving for two days simply would not start.
"Oh, darn," she said. "I'm so sorry this is happening to you," and I believed her. She was upset on my behalf.
Sure there are fancier cars, but you have to understand that everyone inside the Follow Your Heart Cafe is perpetually working on being eco-everything, organic-everything, and decidedly against conspicuous consumption like luxury cars. Though there is a prominently hung quote by His Holiness, the 14th Dali Lama extolling the wisdom of tolerance just inside the doors, nonetheless, I can confirm more than a handful of off-put faces through the restaurants' windows. I felt I had two choices: A) Try and defend my predicament to every quizzical customer who entered or exited, or B) I could keep my head down and pretend to be on the phone.
I chose B. For the record, I waited just fifteen minutes, but that was long enough to reflect just how it is that I ended up stranded in front of the Follow Your Heart Cafe.
Here is the short version: My teenager crashed our Honda Civic – Nobody hurt. Thank God! The insurance company considered it totaled, wrote us a check, and I bought another Civic, a used one, from our local Mercedes dealer. They assured me that a nice, little old lady had traded it in for a new Mercedes. I drove it around, negotiated the deal, drank two free Diet Cokes from their lobby cooler and then I drove off with it. Two days later, my new-used Civic wouldn't start. I called AAA to jump the car and while I waited I called the Benz place. "Will you fix it." Long pause. Please, please, please. "Yes, drive it in." Yes! I brought it in, they gave me a Diet Coke, but after twenty minutes they informed me that they couldn't fix it for two days, so they offer me their loaner car in the meantime, a Mercedes E350.
The first place I drove to was my kids' Jewish private school. My black Mercedes looked at home. As I step out of the car, I smile about the surprise my boys would get when they saw the car. I was still smiling as the driver in the Mercedes next to mine also stepped out. It was one of the school's board members, and I'm pretty sure he sits on the financial aid committee that I've appealed to every year. He wasn't smiling.
The next place I went was home. My in-laws were there visiting. Let me quote my favorite part of the conversation between my father-in-law and mother-in-law:
"Those Nazis make great cars."
"What? I'd never buy one, but it's a great car."
As I sat in the Follow Your Heart parking lot I realized, that, "hey man" (if you've ever visited this retro hippie joint, you understand sounding like The Dude from the Big Lebowski and saying things to yourself like "hey man"). "Hey man, you're lucky," I said into my phone to no one but myself. "These are First World Problems."
Of course it's true. John Edwards turned out to be a well quaffed liar and cheater, but he was right, there are "two Americas". In a recent Times' opinion, Charles Blow cited two studies in this regard:
"From 2009 to 2011, average real income per family grew modestly by 1.7 percent but the gains were very uneven. Top 1 percent incomes grew by 11.2 percent while bottom 99 percent incomes shrunk by 0.4 percent. Hence, the top 1 percent captured 121 percent of the income gains in the first two years of the recovery." -Emmanuel Saez, professor of Economics at the University of California, Berkeley.
During the first two years of the nation's economic recovery, the mean net worth of households in the upper 7 percent of the wealth distribution rose by an estimated 28 percent, while the mean net worth of households in the lower 93 percent dropped by 4 percent. – The Pew Research Center, April 2013.
"For the poor will never cease to be in the land…" -Duet 15:11
Soon enough the tow truck Katie sent was behind me in the lot. I liked the driver, Henry, right away.
"Trouble with your car, Boss?" He said as we shook hands along side the beautiful dead tank.
We talked for the entire fifteen minutes it took him to jack it up, turn it backwards, and fill out the paperwork. I explain the whole crazy scenario to Henry. Tried to buy a used Civic but end up with a Mercedes. Henry said his wife drives a Civic, but that he drives a 68 VW Bug when not in his tow truck. "It got me back and forth from Compton twice this past weekend. No worries with that car," he said.
I had a great time driving that car for a few days, even with the trouble it caused me. I was also happy to see the Benz hanging backwards off of Henry's tow truck.
"Who is truly rich? The one who is happy with what he has." – Pirkei Avot 4:1
There are at least two Americas. Some of us are duel citizens.

Illness: Beyond the Boundary of Faith
Years ago, a Jewish woman, a 15-year survivor of cancer, came to me with a confession.
"Rabbi," she said, "When I was getting chemo, the woman next to me said to bury a picture of Saint Jude (the saint of desperate situations) for good luck, so I did it. I was so scared. I bought a picture of St. Jude and buried it in my backyard."
"Huh." That's official rabbi speak for "This topic does not appear in the Talmud."
"So, there's more, Rabbi."
There is always more.
"Anyway," she continued, "I told a different Catholic friend about burring St. Jude in the backyard, and she asked me, 'did you bury him face-up or face-down?' I told her 'face- up.' She told me that it has to be face-down. So what was I to do rabbi? My first friend insisted that St. Jude be face-up and the second one said face-down. So 15 years later, guess how many saints are buried in my backyard?"
You guessed it. There is at least one nice Jewish woman with two St. Jude's buried in her back yard – And given the alternative she was worried about, thank God!
I shared this story this past Shabbat in a Torah Study group. I asked for help exploring the boundaries of sanctioned Israelite religion. Why on Yom Kippur would Aaron, the High Priest, offer one goat to God and another to Azazel (Lev 16)? Whether "Azazel" is a "desolate place," or the name of a "goat demon of the wilderness" – What does this non-normative practice tell me about the boundaries of my religion's, Judaism's, practice today?
I went on to share the odd story of the serpents God sent down to bite the Israelites that were wrongfully complaining. When they admitted guilt God told Moses, "Make a snake and put it on a pole, anyone who is bitten can look upon it and be healed." So Moses made a bronze snake and put it on a pole. When any bitten person looked upon it, he lived." (Numbers 21:4-8).
The Ten Commandments are pretty clear, and they make the above two stories, and a handfull of others patently problematic:
- You shall not have any gods before Me.
- You Shall not make any graven images – not of the things of the heavens, not of things of the earth or the waters below.
My question is not a history question of the actual belief of ancient Israelites. I am not presently interested in the rich rabbinic commentary that explains these difficulties away. I am familiar with them – I love them, but my interest today is this:
Is there a thread that ties together these breaks in 'normative' practice?
There is: Illness.
My read on these texts, and my pastoral practice in desperate health issues is "Anything Goes."
If you are in a dire situation – do you care to which god people who care about you pray to on your behalf? I say keep ALL the prayers coming. Bring in Mary if she'll help. Send in Mohamed, Azazel, St. Jude, a picture of a snake etched in copper. Send in all the light. If "it" works, wouldn't you do it to save a life or to remove a serious illness?
We are taught that one should accept death rather than these 3 things: Idolatry, sexual crimes, or murder. There is president to fudge on the first, and I'm fine with that.
To those of us open to a reality that is beyond rational explanation, don't we also have admit some naiveté' about how that mysterious reality is really accessed?
I'm aware of the slippery slope just before me. I'm not ready to put up a cross in the synagogue or replace the seats with prayer mats (still, yoga mats are finding their way into synagogues). but I'll defend a Jewish woman keeping two St. Judes buried in the backyard.
One person at the table asked, "How about the healing waters of Lourdes?"
"Funny you should mention that." It was one of my dear friends, who has recently lost his vision. "Some Catholic friends of ours sent me some water from the Sanctuary of Our Lady of Lourdes," he said. "I put on a few drops on my eyelids each night. After a few nights, I could actually make out the numbers on our bedside alarm clock. It was the first time in I don't know how long since I could do that."
For sure there are boundaries in Judaism. I'm not advocating any changes – but when illness faces us with the existential realities of life and death those same boundaries often become permeable and we would be foolish not to notice.

I Can See North Korea From My Backyard
I am writing this blog from my bunker in Los Angeles, so if it doesn't make perfect sense when you read this I'm blaming the poor internet connection I have. Also Anonymous, the hacker group which has recently targeted the State of Israel. I'm Israeli, so typos and meandering sentences in my post can easily be understood as causalities of cyber attacks – please be patient, these are tough times.
Listen, North Korea said it has nukes and that its missiles are aiming for Hawaii and California. Vladimir Putin said, "If, God forbid, something happens, Chernobyl which we all know a lot about, may seem like a child's fairy tale." Part of me read Putin's analogy as wishful thinking on his part, "Finally something to make chernobyl seem like a child's fairy tale!" As I was thinking about this, I realized that this is a guy known for hunting down a tiger without a shirt on, and whose former KGB agents are linked to poisoning the food of a Soviet dissident in London with a mysterious radiation. CNN, NBC, and Fox all say that North Korea can't hit the West Coast of the United States, but because I fear disagreeing with Putin, I agree with him.
Please, Anonymous, don't scramble the following: "I agree with Putin!"
I have a history of not taking threats seriously, but finally, fear has motivated me to act. In Israel my late grandparents built a bomb shelter beneath their home. It was a 10×12 foot concrete storage room with steal enforced air vents that opened and also sealed shut in case of a chemical attack from Sadam. We were not to go in there, were not to disturb the food rations stored there. But, well, a kid can get hungry. Sure enough, a SCUD missile did hit a half mile away from their home a few weeks after I left back to the States. My family in Israel didn't complain much about those attacks, so I didn't take the missile threat seriously. If I were in Southern Israel a few months ago, when it was raining rockets from Gaza, I'm sure I'd be one of the people running to get his camera instead of to a shelter – they said that seeing Iron Dome at work was beautiful like fireworks on the Fourth of July.
I remember comparing California earthquakes to roller-coasters. Wheee! Until the Northridge quake in 1993 scared the beep out of me. If you want to know what the end of the world is going to sound like. Imagine God banging continents together like dusty chalk erasers. California is due for another big one – we're constantly warned. You'd think I'd have a fully developed earthquake plan for my family after that, but I don't. Here are my notes:
1)Turn off the gas line to the house.
2)Remember that the water in the toilet tanks is clear. We have three toilets, so a family of six should be able to make it 2 days.
3)Try to call brother-in-law Mark. Mark has a smaller, younger family. They don't look like they eat much. Remember that Mark has full earthquake supplies for six months. Remind him that he once said that it's more than they need.
4) Set up a Google alert for Mark to keep gas in his Jeep so he could come and get us if he doesn't hear from us after an earthquake and roads are closed.
5) Ask my wife when Mark's birthday is so that I can send him a card and stay on his good side.
Anyway, with Anonymous, and Putin, and, well, Kim Jong Un – fear has been a great motivator. I've built my own bunker. So far it's just a tent and a lawn chair. But I've got plans, and I've put up a sign – a quote I saw out front of a cafe in Jerusalem. I was living in Jerusalem when a bomb went off on Ben Yehuda Street, the crowded pedestrian mall. The next day I went to the scene of the attack to reclaim the space. The Israeli perspective is that living in fear is hardly living. There was still blood on the cobblestones, and there was shattered glass everywhere, but there was also a sign in the blown-out window of a popular cafe. My sign:
"Life is short. Eat dessert first."

Wicked Son: "Because I knew you…"
We had reached one of those loaded moments in our family Passover seder where all my acumen as a parent, an educator, and as a rabbi are tested simultaneously. See, I have four sons, and hence a problem. We had already sung the Ballad of the Four Sons to the tune of My Darling Clementine, and it was now time to assign passages in the hagaddah to each of my boys, each of which, on any given day shows streaks of wisdom, wickedness, simpleness, and a lack of being able to ask a question much beyond "is dinner ready? (While technically a question, I refuse to count it). The danger in assigning parts is that I could unwittingly play into a fraternal competition of "See, Abba likes me best!" This is how I played it this year: I assigned the readings randomly, and before they could read into which part they were assigned ("Hey, why did I get the wicked one?") I said the following:
Let's read these straight through and as we read them pay attention to clues, I am going to ask you which child do you think I like best, and why (for a wonderful contemporary/traditional take on the Four Sons, check out this G-Dcast video).
The Wise Child asks, "What is the meaning of the laws, statues and customs which the Lord our God has commanded us?"
Answer him with all the laws, to the very last detail of the afikoman.
The Wicked Child asks, "What is the meaning of this to you?"
Answer him, "You have denied a principle of our faith. This was done for me, and not you!"
The Simple Child asks, "What is this about?"
Answer him, "God took us out of Egypt with a mighty and outstretched arm."
To the One Who Does Not Know What to Ask, say, "This is done because of what the Lord did for me when I came forth from Egypt."
To my delight, they gave me the answers I wanted.
"The wise child because he is wise."
"The wicked child because he asks tough questions."
"The simple son because he is open to anything you say. You said that last year."
"I did?"
"Yes, you did," two others guests at the table corroborated.
"I think it's the One Who Doesn't Know What to Ask, because he is polite and let's you start the conversation."
I know that each of us carries each of these traits within ourselves, and I pointed that out, with the use of a helpful and provocative paper-cut image in one of our haggadot (plural for haggadah)
This year I said that I preferred the wicked one – "He asks the best question," I answered. And, I believe he does. I was also struck, more so than other years, that the Wicked son gets a bad rap, not only for asking a fair and pointed question – which we otherwise applaud (It is said that a Jewish parent does not ask a child, "what did you learn at school today," but rather, "did you ask a good question today?") The problem with the wicked child is that he has a crappy teacher, who slams him for showing up to the seder and being himself, for wanting some integrity in the system? "Do you believe this stuff?" "Is this still relevant?" "Why are you so Jewish all of a sudden?" The response to the Wicked child got me thinking about what I would say as a high school teacher, if I could say anything I wanted to these four archetypal students:
To the Wise son, "What are the statues, laws, and customs? Why are you asking me? Go read the Tenth Chapter of the Talmudic Tractate on Passover, and then we can discuss it, then you can explain about the Afikoman to your brothers."
To the Wicked son, "What does this mean to me? Good question. I think it is an individual challenge to understand the duality of confinement and freedom. Ask yourself, what constraints on your life would you want to be free from? What obligations do you have to yourself and others as you exercise your freedom?"
To the Simple son, "Dig a little deeper. Yes we are commemorating an event that has long past, and whose memory still inspires us today, but go a little further – Why? Why should we bother with this? What lessons are we trying to hold on to? What implications does it have for the world we live in today?"
To the One Who Does Not Know What to Ask, I want to answer along the lines of Sterns Professor Scott Galloway, in his "Get your S–t Together" email to a student a few years ago – here is an excerpt:
…Let me be more serious for a moment. I do not know you, will not know you and have no real affinity or animosity for you. You are an anonymous student who is now regretting the send button on his laptop. It's with this context I hope you register pause…REAL pause xxxx and take to heart what I am about to tell you:
xxxx, get your s–t together.
Getting a good job, working long hours, keeping your skills relevant, navigating the politics of an organization, finding a live/work balance…these are all really hard, xxxx. In contrast, respecting institutions, having manners, demonstrating a level of humility…these are all (relatively) easy. Get the easy stuff right xxxx. In and of themselves they will not make you successful. However, not possessing them will hold you back and you will not achieve your potential which, by virtue of you being admitted to Stern, you must have in spades.
So To the One Who Does Not Know What to Ask, I find myself wanting to say, "Hey, Judaism, like being part of this family around this table is not a pass/fail course in which you can just hide out in the back. We need your voice in the mix too. You can ask picayune questions about tiny details, you can ask pointed questions in an antagonistic tone, you can even ask a basic question that you think everyone but you must know the answer to, but passivity is never a substitute for actual learning – doing nothing, saying nothing doesn't just hurt you. You don't have to be the smartest. You don't have to be witty, you don't have to leave your skepticism at the door, or anything like that, but keeping your personal Torah, your deep inner wisdom to yourself, deprives us all of sparks of the divine that only you hold. We are not at the movies, silence is not golden.

Porn in the City
Porn in the City: Are the kids really alright?
What does it mean to grow up in the age of sexting, of Instagram and Snapchat (which lets you show a picture on someone else's smart-phone, and then have it 'disappear')? I think about this because I work with teens, and their natural curiosity mixed with super-charged digital lives kinda freak me out. I wonder: Are we equipping them with what they need to live in an easy access, easy self-satisfaction world?
"Pornography should interest us, because it's intensely and relentlessly about us. It involves the roots of our culture and the deepest corners of the self…" – The Eloquence of Pornography, Laura Kipnis. ( As part of a special report on PBS Frontline on Pornography way back in 2002).
For Eugene Jerome, Neil Simon's semi-autobiographical main character of Brighton Beach Memoirs, sex was an adolescent obsession. At the end of the play his brother gives young Eugene a foldout picture of a topless woman. In reaction to this, Eugene write down in his journal: "A momentous moment in the life of I, Eugene Morris Jerome. I have seen the Golden Palace of the Himalayas…. Puberty is over. Onwards and upwards!"
The line gets an appropriate laugh, as it should. The play is set in 1937 when a picture of a topless woman might be a rarity, but this is 2013, an age when there are approximately 200,000 commercial porn sites. This means that an introduction into sexuality no longer begins with a picture of a toplesswoman, but of a video of a couple having actual sex. I can't imagine what it would be like to be a young man or woman with the expectation that porn-star sex is the norm.
Martin Buber taught that there were two natures of the self. The "I" which is we might sum up as shallow, and surface oriented. This is the "me" that is involved in world of doing things. This surface "I" in relation to the everyday, he calls "I-It". There is, Buber taught, also the "I" that is experienced as "whole-being," fuller, more complete, perhaps we could say "more alive." This whole-being "I," Buber calls I-Thou. A fair simplification is to say, sometimes we relate with our soul, and other times we do not.
A mistake of modernity, a poison, is to ignore the depth experiences that humans need (I-Thou) and focus completely on the surface experience of the mundane (I-It). We see this everyday – and with technology, we see this "shallowing" in potential escalation.
Our popular culture seems to be polarized on the topic of pornography. On the one hand it is scandalous and predatory (which it certainly is) and on the other its seen as the new normal (and what does it say about us if it is?).
"And yes, pornography is a business — as is all our popular entertainment — which attains popularity because it finds ways of articulating things its audiences care about. When it doesn't, we turn it off. Pornography may indeed be the sexuality of a consumer society. It may have a certain emptiness, a lack of interior, a disconnectedness — as does so much of our popular culture. And our high culture. (As does much of what passes for political discourse these days, too.) But that doesn't mean that pornography isn't thoroughly astute about its audience and who we are underneath the social veneer, astute about the costs of cultural conformity, and the discontent at the core of routinized and civilized lives." – The Eloquence of Pornography, Laura Kipnis. ( As part of a special report on PBS Frontline on Pornography way back in 2002).
What does porn tell us about ourselves, our culture?
Among other things, I think modernity's great porn addiction speaks to the fact that we, in the age of speedy technology, and infinite private access, have grown selfish.
In an age that worships business, sexuality has continued to grow as a commodity; sex, from one perspective of our popular culture has become a transaction. There is little training of the self these days about being relational. Satisfaction of the self rather than another is the value these days. Sex, and satisfaction becomes transactional, self-absorbed, and to that extent non-relational, Buber might say, decidedly I-It, and I would add "less human."
"If love is only self-interest, than love is a fake, a pretense… And can you imagine a life without love?" – A J Heschel
No wonder than, that porn is on the rise and marriage is on the decline. We haven't given any value to the idea of generosity to another, or to love, and without that, what are we?
Sex is a natural human drive. Freud was right about that. Cheap, fast, and easy, are all hallmarks of the 21st century, so I doubt that porn is going away any time soon. Modernity gives us instant access to I-It. But our souls crave something deeper.
The solution has to be to teach our kids about love, about romance, about desire, about the ecstasy of your soul that can be. They need to learn that this can happen when you give of yourself, when you are a self in relationship to another self, when you think, and feel, and act for not only "me" in a particular moment, but about what is right and beautiful in "us."
I and Thou.

America: Killer Food and Hospitals Making Killings
"This," Witherly said, "is one of the most marvelously constructed foods on the planet, in terms of pure pleasure." He ticked off a dozen attributes of the Cheetos that make the brain say more. But the one he focused on most was the puff's uncanny ability to melt in the mouth. "It's called vanishing caloric density," Witherly said. "If something melts down quickly, your brain thinks that there's no calories in it…you can just keep eating it forever." -The Extraordinary Science of Addictive Junk Food, by Michael Moss (NY Times Magazine).
Is it a surprise to hear that food companies painstakingly, scientifically manufacture the taste and textures of our foods and drinks to make them addictive? No. Moss quotes Bob Drane, the brains behind Kraft's Lunchables, who explains how the food industry got to where it is today: "Our limbic brains love sugar, fat, salt… So formulate products to deliver these. Perhaps add low-cost ingredients to boost profit margins. Then 'supersize' to sell more…And advertise/promote to lock in 'heavy users'."
"When you sell property to your neighbor, or buy any from your neighbor, you shall not wrong one another" – Lev. 25:14.
From the Torah verse above our sages learn the prohibition of Ona'ah, overreaching – "the act of wronging another by selling him an article for more than its real worth."
Are food companies withholding what they know about our tastes and therefore making a profit from our lack of knowledge about food science? We like to think that America was built on Judeo-Christian morals, but that is not the case. The reason that there are no warning labels on bags of chips or cans of soda is because our moral code, when it comes to business anyway, is the moral code of Rome not of Jerusalem (an analogy often made by one of my mentors, Dr. Bruce Powell):
Rome teaches: Caveat Emptor – "Let the buyer beware."
From the perspective of the food company it is the business of the consumer to find out about a product and make her own decision.
Is such a business plan criminal? No. Is it moral? Again, no.
Jerusalem teaches: "It is forbidden to cheat people in buying or selling or to deceive them." – Mishnah Torah, Laws of Sales. Judaism teaches that buyer has the obligation of full disclosure to seller.
"So,the food and drink around me, that is cheaper and tastier than healthy food and water, is killing me?" Buyer beware, indeed!
I will admit that some will say that ona'ah, overreaching, on the part of Big Food is a stretch. Nonetheless, I stand my ground, but that ona'ah is taking place in hospitable bills is paramount to anyone who has bothered to ask for an itemized bill from their last hospital visit.
This week's Time Magazine cover article by Steven Brill is a must read for every American. Hospitals, even non-profit hospitals, have such complex guides for deciding payment, which can seem so arbitrary. How do they decide? Hospitals have different pay rates for cash, insurance, and Medicare. Brill give the example of a chest x-ray. A patient might be charged $333, but if it's billed through Medicare, that same x-ray would pay the hospital $23.83.
Of course, the hospital should be allowed to make a profit, make up for non-payment, or low payment, but it seems that the mark-up something controlled by the secretive "chargemaster- the mysterious internal price list for products and services that every hospital in the U.S. keeps."
Why are Americans paying so much more for healthcare than other well-off nations without the results? We value the right of hospitals to make money without us fully knowing what we are being charged for. Alas, such is life in Rome. Healthcare costs would not be so bloated if true Judeo-Christian values ruled. Consider this teaching:
"One who has medications, and another person is sick and needs them, it is forbidden to raise their prices beyond what is appropriate." - SHULCHAN ARUCH, YOREH DE'AH 336:3.
In choosing Rome as our ethical compass, we have led ourselves to a crisis point. Protecting the right of companies to profit at the knowing expense, in dollars and in health, of our citizens is a sure sign that America no longer lives by Judeo-Christian values.

Pope versus Pal
Pope Benedict says that he'll be stepping down at the end of February. It's been 600 years since a sitting pontiff has taken such an action, usually you die in service. There were days on the bima, in front of the congregation, when I thought the same might happen to me. Alas, a story for another day.
I remember when this pope was elected, the plume of smoke that rose from a Vatican chimney signified that the Cardinals had made their secret selection. Such ceremony!
The opportunity to elect a new pope reminds of a recent article written by my dear colleague, Brad Hirschfield, on the ordination this past November of the Coptic Pope, of Egyptian christians, Pope Tawadros II (Washington Post):
"The 60-year-old, English-trained pharmacist born as Wagih Sobi Baqi Suleiman, became the head of the Coptic Church when a blindfolded child picked his name out of a bowl…Following three days of fasting and chanting, a child is selected to reach into the bowl and draw out the name of the person who will serve as the new leader."
We Jews do not have such an elaborate process in choosing our rabbis. Instead, we are taught lessons such as "Make for yourself a rabbi (teacher), and earn for yourself a friend." (Avot 1:6).
What a crazy teaching? You mean, unlike the Coptic church or the Vatican, the religious leaders we get are not chosen by God, however understood by the Cardinals in the case of the Rome or by the young boy in the case of the Copts? Instead, we choose? We, fallible, imperfects choose our own leaders. So we'll choose a rabbi who already agrees with us, who won't push us where we don't want to be pushed. And this is indeed the case. Where given a choice of synagogues, the number one reason for choosing a synagogue is "like the rabbi." This is a problem and blessing.
One the one hand, congregants in most synagogues have an unusual power over their religious leader. So how cutting edge can your rabbi be, if the threat of disapproval and the threat of an unrenewed contract looms over his or her head?
On the other hand, there is a lesson here as well. Judaism seems to prize a relationship with a teacher who can also be your friend over one who hold religious, moral, perhaps Godly authority over you. In this complicated relationship, that of rabbi-friend, is a religious secret:
You already know everything you need to know about God and how to be a good and happy person in the world. You don't need a higher authority to tell you this. What you need is a friend to support you as you take what you know into your heart and out to the world.
Is your rabbi also your friend? If not why not? Is it him or her? Or, is your expectations that keep your rabbi at arms length?

So this post is dedicated to my beautiful boyfriend Luke. It's his birthday today and it wouldn't be a birthday if I didn't celebrate his special day in both my physical and online life.
It seems the journey is only just beginning and I hope this is the start of bigger and better things.
This is one of the best presents you can ask for. A mere $5 can buy water purification tablets for a family, $15 can buy vitamins for young children, or $30 for something a simple as a warm blanket.
Just wanted to wish my better half, best friend and love of my life a very happy birthday today.
I think it's safe to say I am officially a crazed and committed cat lady. There's no turning back now. I'm in love.

I am new to the area, I actually live in Arcadia, but I'm looking for a reasonably priced place for a hip/in style haircut. Any suggestions? I'm also looking for a pediatric dentist. Our insurance is accepted at Aspen Dental but they have so many dentists to choose from that I was wondering if anyone else had a good experience with a specific doctor in that practice. Thanks!!

In any case, I should hope that the noble people of the UK offer sanctuary to Hamas in the UK. You're already pretty close to that, so go all the way.
Not only did the deceased admit killing two Israeli soldiers, he boasted of it. There is yet to be proof Mossad is the perpetrator but if it was, the killing would certainly appear to be justified. Can Palestinians justify targeting Israeli civilians? Somehow the Western world is more than willing to impose irrationally high ethical standards on Western nations while failing to call to task those who would use women and children as targets or shields.
So let's review:
Dubai said it was probably an Arab operation.
Hamas claimed Fatah did it.
Dubai stated there was no evidence of Israeli involvement.
Fatah indicated he was killed by fellow arms dealers.
The UK has no evidence of who did what
Ireland has no evidence of who did what.
A few of the names are those of British subjects living in Israel.
Hmmm looks like the dastardly Jews are guilty of nothing here. I mean if you were going to do this would you use fake documents of people already living in Israel?
When I flicked on BBC this morning, oh they were full of their usual condemnations. Apparently the Beeb has secret knowledge that no one else does because they've already determined that the dastardly Jews are behind this. Fascinating, since no one else, not even the 'government' of the purported victim has said as much. You know, because those dastardly Jews apparently secretly control not only the government of the UK, Ireland, Gaza, the West Bank and Dubai.
Of course.
Iraq, Afghanistan isn't Britain doing enough for Israel without UK passports being abused as well?
Exactly what law would it be - international, Israel's, Dubai's?
Had it indeed assassinated Hamas commander, the claims to Israel being outside somebody else's law would still ring hollow. Especially if made by countries permitting members of known terrorist organizations to move around freely.
"wild places" Like Dubai? The home of the tallest building in the world, the tallest hotel in the world, and man-made peninsulas and islands large enough to be seen from space? Why it's on par with the deepest darkest jungles of Africa.
...and The Economist's tone of 'A jolly assassination! What larks Pip!' is distasteful to say the least.
If warrants are issued for the arrest of Israeli secret service personnel for this murder, they must also be issued for Netanyahu who clearly must have approved it.
No more cosy meetings in Europe or North America for those responsible for this blatant illegality.
Israel is completely outside the law.
It is as now impossible for leaders of states which respect the law to meet with the leaders of Israel, as it would be to meet with leaders of the Cosa Nostra.
