Lapins Cherry Tree (Zone)
I am interested in planting a Lapins Cherry Tree and getting conflicting reports on the proper zone. Any info would be appreciated thanks.
I planted a Lapins in Edmonton last year, and this year it is producing fruit, not a lot of fruit, but fruit nonetheless.
I have heard of others growing Lapins successfully in Edmonton, and would like to hear and share ideas on tree protection in the winter.
I have heard of some people mounding the base with peat in late fall...buying and custom cutting block insulation then gently wrapping and taping it around the tree...would love to hear what others have to write!
The trees can be bought at Kuhlmanns gardens.
I am sure Lapins won't make it in Fairbanks AK unless protected some how. It might be of interest to you that we had broken records of low temperatures around my 'Evans' pie cherry last winter and that the tree is looking as good this year as any year of the last 4. Lynn Long of OSU in 'The Dalles' Oregon has a web document and claims the sweet cherries like your 'Lapins' can vary around -30F hardiness under certain conditions;
-Pasted from web-----------------------------------
 Base line hardiness of cherry buds is about -6°F.
 Cherry buds have the ability to gain about 4° of hardiness per day.
 Once temperatures rise about freezing, the added hardiness below -6°F can be lost in a few hours.
 As spring approaches, buds lose their ability to gain hardiness.
 Tree health is important in imparting cold tolerance to buds.
-End of Paste-------------------------------------
For me under almost -50F conditions for as long as we had I am sure everything (especially tree health) were important factors in tree survival. Mine had plenty of sun, good silt soil, plenty of added micronutrients from seaweed extract applied to leaves, and I followed Lynn Longs' advise of carefully watering the tree to the tee so that the tree can slow down and push the previous buds into maturity faster.
I planted my lapins cherry tree in my Calgary house by cutting a hole in the porch floor and lowering the tree down into a barrel of loam ( the bottom was cut out for root depth).It grew great but try as I would I couldnt get cherries to grow .I pollinated by q-tip and no luck ..several years I had no blossoms .After about 6 years the tree was so spread out I had to fight my way up the stairs to my main floor..I couldnt take the tree with me when the city bulldozed the house down ,but am happy to hear they grow in Edmonton outside. I just talked to Bylands about an apricot tree and they say they dont sell em to Albertans cause they had to many die ( the trees not the Albertans).I was not aware cherries could grow outside .. I moved to Shepard on the city limits and have a half acre to plant fruit trees ,and so on .I'm going to start a thread asking what fruit trees grow here.

If there's one thing classic sci-fi movies have taught me, it's that nothing good can come from humans Playing God. Dust's latest feature, however, has forced me to reconsider that received notion. On this upbeat, irreverent album standout, the Pacific Northwestern rapper and producer fills us in on what he'd do if he were the Man Upstairs. In addition to taking full advantage of his immortality, he promises to institute a few reforms to make the world a little bit doper for the rest of us: "No cops to crash the party tonight, and everybody here gonna get laid." Dust and Operator join forces to create the record's bluesy, sampled beat. Does this joint have you giving thanks to the Lord? More bangers await on the artist's Dust Raps the Blues street album, available for free download as of October 1.

Citrus tree spacing for espalier on South Wall
I need help! I went to Lowe's yesterday and they had satsumas for $4.25 and 1/2 off all other citrus...I couldn't help myself, even though they aren't hardy in my zone, I came home with 9 plants and no real plan.
I figure I have 2 options:
1) buy a green house and keep them in pots or
2) plant them along the south wall of the house where I can sort of espalier them so they can be covered with burlap anchored to the wall to protect from cold and wind in the winter. (we get very strong winds that tend to blow covers off or rip them part out in the open).
I really want to go with option 2 but I don't have enough space for the regular recommended spacing, how close can I plant them to each other? And what else do I need to know? I have a pier and beam house with an 18" tall concrete wall around the perimeter. I also have a 3' wide raised bed along the entire south wall.
Thanks for any help/tips! Here is what I got:
1 mexican lime
4 satsumas: miho, brown select and 2 owaris
1 lemon drop
2 improved meyer lemons
1 orange (i cant remember the name)
Are they all standard size trees? I think I would keep them in pots so A) they stay smaller, and B) you can bring them into the garage during the winter. You could line the pots up against the wall, put them on a drip system, and you should be fine. I got these tiny citrus at Walmart 2 years ago like you, cheap! 2 are in the ground, and 2 are in containers about 16" across. This is their second year, and the grapefruit is getting huge in it's pot. There is no difference in size between the orange and the other two planted in the ground. Mine are Semi Dwarf.
We get big winds here also, but it hardly freezes. I have Christmas lights to help warm them up IF we get a freeze.
Good luck!
They are all dwarf/semi dwarf. Unfortunately, I do not have a garage so that isn't an option.
We get several freezes every year and last year I lost my Meyers lemon even with Christmas lights - that's why I thought maybe keeping them flat on a protected south wall with the option of anchored burlap might work.
I really need to know if there are issues with spacing them only 24" - 30" apart. Any help would be appreciated!
>>> I really need to know if there are issues with spacing them only 24" - 30" apart.
Well, not directly. Are you expecting more than a handful of fruit from each? Although never recommended, citrus *can* be planted very closely together if you plan on pruning them hedge style or if you only plant two real close, then let them grow away from each other. But IMO you're trying to fit them too close.
You didn't state this, but are you trying to single-level espalier on your 18" concrete wall?
If you go out there and draw on the wall a simple shape of the espalier form you are growing -- you'll realize 24" is a very, very small space. I frequently read "if you don't have much space, try espalier". But what they are really saying is if you have a "LONG rectangular size space". Without depth, you need more space for length or height. Even 30" apart means approx. 14" per branch, more like 9" once the tree thickens trunk and branch crotches reduce fruiting wood close to the trunk.
You could plant 48" from each other and espalier the branches at ALTERNATING levels. For multi-level, leave a bit more space vertically between branches than you would normally. This way you can have almost the full 48" for each branch, as each tree will grow into the other's space -- like when you mesh your fingers from one hand into the other hand.
You probably already realize but citrus fruit on the prior year wood. In many cases they will push out young branches and flower on them later, for more fruit production you can keep them like "short spurs", which is why I'd allow for more room when meshing them.
In any case, I'm not an espalier expert but I do understand your situation. That was such a great deal I probably would've done the same! But I'd just grow half of them in containers and espalier the rest without trying to go too close together. Or just bite the bullet and call them "gifts" that you couldn't turn down.
Our area doesn't carry ANY satsuma other than owari.
Honestly, I would try espaliering only the 4 satsumas against the south wall. I would plant them 1-1.5 feet away from the wall and at least 6 feet spacing between them. By espaliering, you are already eliminating two directions of growth (north and south)...if you reduce spacing any more than that, you would be reducing two more directions of growth (east and west).
I would seriously doubt that lime, lemon drop, meyer lemon, or orange would survive outside, even against a south wall. The lime and lemon drop will stay small enough that you can pot them up and bring it inside.

I had so much fun doing one of these for Crest, I decided to go back and do it for the two previous books in the series. Since these posts are for readers who want to know more about the writing process behind each book, there may be mild spoilers.
Proceed with caution.
Five things about Whirl:
1. I rewrote the beginning of the novel eighteen times. Since I'd plotted out the rest of the series, I knew the first few opening chapters were key in laying out the thematic threads of the series.
Another consideration lay in the challenge of Naida Irisavie. She is an invisible, omnipresent character throughout the Ondine Quartet, someone readers never really see alive and yet her overwhelming spirit is a vital part of every book. I had to find some way of firmly tying her into the narrative right from the start so her presence would always be woven into the fabric of our heroine and her journey.
Because Kendra's character development is the heart of this story and this series, her complicated and emotionally abusive relationship with her mother would gradually be explored throughout the rest of the books, but I had to reveal enough to establish a backbone of why our protagonist is the way she is.
Easy to say, definitely not so easy to do.
2. The size and location of the city of Lyondale is loosely based on Bellingham, WA.
I envisioned Haverleau as a small town full of quaint shops and residences surrounded by a lush, verdant landscape. A few months prior to writing the book, I'd spent two weeks in Gijón, Spain and wanted to recreate a beautiful community nestled along the coast that burst with Old World European charm. Haverleau was the result.
The name itself, from the phrase havre de l'eau, came from listening to Debussy's Reflets dans l'eau (Reflections on the water).
3. On character names/terms/magic:
The trickiest aspect of the first book in a series is world-building. Magic operates by a set of rules and limitations are just as important as possibilities. Ondine magic needed to be a natural extension of the world's cultural history. Therefore, each Virtue was an asset used in their race's assimilation into human society.
A large group instinctively wants to impose some kind of hierarchical order, even if our rational, logical brain understands it's not always morally or ethically right. Sometimes it's through acquired qualities (wealth or job/education), sometimes through physical/external traits (racism, perceived physical strength/power, appearance). Over time, as ondines established themselves on land, it made sense for these distinctly human flaws to also have seeped into their world.
There also existed a more fundamental layer of order based upon magic. Ondines who possessed Virtues (Redavi first-borns) gained greater societal privilege than those who only had elemental magic. The political structure and matriarchal society also gave me freedom to explore thematic threads of power and women's roles.
I also spent a great deal of time studying etymology to construct terms. The history of langue d'oïl and Old French influenced the construction of selkie names and language. There is a Welsh influence, particularly in some of the selkie names (because of the Norman invasion of Wales), and the selkie language incorporates both Celtic and Latin roots.
4. In initial drafts, Nexa had a pet, a small, hybrid creature I named Laramie. But as Nexa's quirkiness and backstory fully emerged, I realized the beast sidekick detracted from her eccentricities and decided to eliminate Laramie.
She still has a special place in my heart, though, so I may include her in a future series.
5. I initially intended Chloe to take on the role Miriam Moreaux ultimately played. But as I worked on the story, two things became clear.
First, Chloe's friendship and her own character growth were entwined with Kendra's development. Second, the imperfect reality of being a parent and the individual, human mistakes parents make that affect a child's future choices are both crucial elements of this series.
The fate of Miriam Moreaux and the continuing consequences experienced by her daughter is a journey mirrored in Kendra, Julian, and other characters. It was a conflict I couldn't throw aside.

Southwestern Historical Quarterly
Mexico and the Spanish Cortes, 1z8o-1822: Eight Essays. Edited and
with an introduction by Nettie Lee Benson. Austin (University
of Texas Press for the Institute of Latin American Studies), 1966.
Pp. 243. Bibliography and index. $5.00.
The essays constituting this book are the end product of a seminar
in historiography at the University of Texas conducted by Miss Nettie
Lee Benson. Miss Benson, librarian of the Latin American Collection
and a specialist in Mexican history, has edited the papers and supplied
an introduction and conclusion.
The themes embrace several aspects of the difficult period of Mex-
ican history when independence was being achieved and an independ-
ent government established. They increase our understanding of that
period (1810-1823) with a fresh approach to and appraisal of the work
of the Spanish Cortes as they related to Mexico. The Cortes, the
Spanish equivalent generally of the old French Estates General or
English Parliament, were resuscitated when Napoleonic intervention
in Spain disturbed the monarchical situation by imposing Joseph
Bonaparte on the throne. Reactions against that intrusion finally fo-
cused in the Cortes, which convened and undertook the re-establish-
ment of Spanish autonomy, though under a liberalized, constitutional
monarchy rather than the old autocracy.
Sitting in the Cortes were representatives from the New World.
What the Mexican delegation contributed to and how it was affected
by the deliberations is the concentration of these essays. In the first,
Charles R. Berry explores the ways in which deputies from New
Spain (Mexico) were chosen, concluding that "the revolutionary
years provided considerable experience in civil education and repre-
sentative government." David T. Garza traces the involvement of
the Mexican deputies in the formulation of the Spanish Constitu-
tion of 1812, a liberal document that influenced the constitutional
development of Mexico as expressed in her constitutions of 1814 and
1824. Roger L. Cunniff describes how election procedures of municipal
officials were reformed, a critical point in Mexican affairs as the revo-
lution broke down central authority and turned more political respon-
sibility to revitalized municipal institutions.
"Freedom of the Press in New Spain, 1810-1820" is discussed by
Clarice Neal-a significant development as an uncensored press was
necessary for public political education and the evolution of national
thought, and Mexican delegates struggled in the Cortes to guarantee it.

Our special coverage of the closest race for years
Explore the personal stories of Syrian refugees in Lebanon
29 Jan 2010 06:38 GMT
Nasa has already spent more than $9bn on the Constellation programme, which was initiated under the previous administration of George Bush.
Last October the agency conducted the first test of its prototype Ares 1-X rocket, which it had planned to be the successor to the space shuttle.
The 100-metre tall rocket had been seen as the partner to a much larger Ares V heavy lift rocket, which together would have been used to ferry men and machinery beyond Earth orbit on missions to the moon and, eventually, Mars.
New goal
Constellation and plans for a large-scale return to the moon came about following the investigation into the 2003 Columbia shuttle disaster, which recommended that Nasa needed a new goal.
The last manned mission to the moon was Apollo 17 in 1972.
Since then all manned spaceflight has been in low Earth orbit.
Speaking to the Associated Press on condition of anonymity, a senior Nasa official said "It certainly appears that the Bush moon mission is not going to be included" in future funding plans. An unnamed White House official told the New York Times on Thursday that the Obama plan would "put Nasa on a more sustainable and ambitious path to the future."
"My biggest fear is that this amounts to a slow death of our nation's human space flight programme"
Bill Posey,Florida congressman
In a statement Florida congressman Bill Posey, a Republican, said he was alarmed that the president "seems determined to abdicate America's leadership in human space exploration."
"My biggest fear is that this amounts to a slow death of our nation's human space flight programme; a retreat from America's decades of leadership in space, ending the economic advantages that our space programme has brought to the US, and ceding space to the Russians, Chinese and others," he said.
According to administration officials, the Obama plan will add almost $6bn to the Nasa budget over the next five years.
Private spacecraft
That is well below the $3bn-a-year increase that a special independent panel said last year was needed for Nasa to successfully pursue a human spaceflight programme beyond low-Earth orbit.
Until now Nasa has designed and operated its own space craft, like the shuttle and Apollo capsules, or leased space on missions operated by the Russian space agency.
But the plan to use a commercial approach has drawn scepticism from some quarters, with critics questioning whether private companies can offer significantly better value and quicker development time than the already-established Constellation programme.
There have also been questions raised about what impact the commercial imperative might have on astronaut safety.

These Nutty Peanut Butter Granola Bars have a rich peanut butter flavor and take just 10 minutes to make. Those of you who are regular readers know how much I love to make (and eat!) homemade snacks.

These no bake bars are the perfect thing to make when you are short on time yet still want a satisfying and delicious snack. You can make them in just minutes and you likely have all of the ingredients in your pantry.

Today I've got another easy meal to add to your repertoire. Because who doesn't love a recipe that's quick to make on a weeknight, yet so good that you will look forward to dinner time all day?

A Day in the Life (with a 3-week-old, a 2-year-old, and a 5-year-old)
I love getting a sneak peek into other people's lives, so whenever bloggers do A Day in the Life posts I get super excited to read them. I guess you could say I'm a little bit nosy. :) I've never written one myself, but thought some of you might like to read about what my days look like right now. (I'll give you a hint. They are full of baby feedings, diaper changes, and all in all not very exciting.) Partly, my motivation for writing this post is selfish. I want to be able to look back in a few years and remember what these days with a newborn, an almost 3-year-old, and an almost 6-year-old were like. So here goes... this is what a mostly typical day looks like right ... [Continue Reading]

Maple-Glazed Cinnamon Scones
A spiced cinnamon scone drizzled with a lightly salted sweet maple glaze. Treat yourself to one of these Maple-Glazed Cinnamon Scones with your morning cup of coffee or tea. Just days after my baby girl was born, I was feeling the need to get into the kitchen and bake. Of course, with life being a crazy busy blur of feedings, diaper changes, and naps (for me and baby), I wasn't able to find even a few minutes for baking in those early days. Hannah is now three weeks old, and while life still revolves around her feeding schedule, I'm feeling a little more settled. Baking and blogging are my therapy, the things I do just for me, and I can't stay away from either for long. So I've been ... [Continue Reading]
Parmesan-Crusted Chicken Tenders
These Parmesan-Crusted Chicken Tenders will quickly become a favorite of both the adults and kids in your home. They are baked, freezer-friendly, and delicious with my Greek yogurt honey mustard dipping sauce! Before we had kids, Brad and I used to go out to eat at a certain neighborhood restaurant once a week. It was a causal place, and they served foods like burgers, sandwiches, and salads. For my order, I would alternate between the cheeseburger and the chicken tenders. Their chicken tenders are the best I've had at any restaurant, and I'd ask for both bbq and honey mustard dipping sauces. I'm getting hungry just thinking about them now! My eating habits have changed considerably ... [Continue Reading]

Here's why. As is my way these days, this recipe is so super duper easy. You can even choose whether you'd like to make this Vegetarian Chili on the stovetop or in the slow cooker. Either way involves very little prep, it just depends on when you have time in your day to get dinner started. If you're at home ... [Continue Reading]
Healthy Chocolate Chip Waffles
A healthier waffle that the whole family will get excited about. These Healthy Chocolate Chip Waffles are so good on their own, you don't even need maple syrup! (But I won't tell if you drizzle some on anyways.) Some mornings, it's harder to get out of bed than others. For me, and for my kids. But I have a little secret that's guaranteed to help my little ones hop right out of bed and get dressed in a flash: chocolate chip waffles. Once they hear that chocolate chip waffles are on the breakfast menu, their whole attitude changes. You know what? These Healthy Chocolate Chip Waffles totally lure me out of bed too.

Highpointe Park Apartments Resident
The staff is awesome but there are many issues with the residents. Although management tries to address issue Read Mores as they become aware I don't think that it is within their control to monitor everyone. I have never seen such behavior from my neighbors before. Noisy, throwing trash off the balcony, using other residents trash bins. I can't even us my balcony because my neighbors dump drinks and food on me.

2004 Volkswagen Passat Sedan GL 1.8T Fwd 4dr Sedan (1.8L 4cyl Turbo 5M)
I bought my 2004 Passat GL in 2011 with 91k mi. on it for $7900. In just 3 years I've spent over $3600 on it not including regular maintenance. Oil sludge, both front axle boots torn, both brake rotors, leaking coolant, new thermostat housing and new thermostat, and many, many other problems!! Currently at 130k miles the timing belt broke. Could cost me $900-$3000+ to fix depending on the damage done to the engine. It's current value wasn't even worth it to fix. I sincerely advise EVERYONE to stay away from this vehicle!!! I personally will NEVER buy a Volkswagen again!! Don't make the mistake I did... DO YOUR RESEARCH!!!

2004 Volkswagen Passat Sedan GLS 1.8T Fwd 4dr Sedan (1.8L 4cyl Turbo 5M)
Reading review after negative review I wonder whether I was just lucky, or whether my experience is more representative of the norm.
My Passat was totalled last summer when a tree blown over by a storm crushed my garage (of course the Passat was in the garage).
My experience?
95,000 miles with only 2 service matters.
Fuel pump failed at 88,000. Parts and labor < $300.
Replaced one CV boot at same time as a precaution. Parts and Labor also about $300.
That's it.
Outstanding performance and handling. Understated but elegant interior. Good ergonomics.
Seats were firm but wonderful for long trips.

2004 Volkswagen Passat Sedan GL 1.8T Fwd 4dr Sedan (1.8L 4cyl Turbo 5A)
I love my 04 VW Passat! It is by far the best purchase I have ever made (great price for an AWESOME car). Bought it at 58,000 miles and it is flawless. The turbo is wonderful; and even though I have a basic model it has great features like the bump shifter, seat warmers, cruise control, great sounding stereo, high quality interior and more! It's German engineering at it's finest! You can feel the quality everytime you drive it. It is NOT a cheaply made Honda or Toyota. I recommend a Passat!

Purchased the vehicle brand new in 2/04.
Followed the recomended mantenance religiouly. In the years I've owned the vehicle I was left stranded 4 times and needed to be towed to a garrage.
Tow #1 60K miles. Water pump (make of PLASTIC) failed causing the engine to overheat.
Tow #2 75K miles. Fuel Pump failure.
Tow #3 100K miles. car would not start. Brand new spark plugs were dirty and needed to be cleaned.
Simple issue is a major problem when stranded.
Tow #4 120K miles. water pump (Aagain!) after inspection, we needed, new water pump, timing belt, tensioners, cam seal, aux fan, main fan bearing, new belts, to the tune of 2K from a reputable 3rd party VW mechanic.
Never Again VW!

2004 Volkswagen Passat Sedan GLX Fwd 4dr Sedan (2.8L 6cyl 5A)
i hate a car in front of me which caused other 2 cars ahead to be involved in the accident. the damage was severe as the whole front of the car was crashed including the engine and the passenger was fatally injured, he had a shoulder dislocation. what surprised me are the airbags, they never deployed even though i was driving 60 mph. after few days volkswagen of America sent an engineer to inspect the car. After he left i noticed the seatbelts are loose and the bottom cover is opened, it seems like he did it in purpose. before he came the seat belts were fine. what most surprised me is his decision that the airbags can't deployed in this case. iIshowed him the bottom of the car where is the chassis, it was bent from the direct impact of the forces that came through the bumper which also cause the front beam to twist, but never gave me a satisfied explanation. People who try to buy this car and have kids please be aware of this safety issue, my family was blessed to get out of this accident just with a shoulder dislocation, which could be worst.
My next step is lawsuit against VW.

2004 Volkswagen Passat Sedan GLS 1.8T 4Motion AWD 4dr Sedan (1.8L 4cyl Turbo 5M)
The car is fun to drive, AWD 4motion is amazing, and it does deliver fantastic MPG vs other models released the same year.

2004 Volkswagen Passat Sedan GLX 4Motion AWD 4dr Sedan (2.8L 6cyl 5A)
I bought my 2004 passat GLX 4motion slightly used with less than 9,000 miles on it.
I lived in North Idaho for 11 years and this little car handled everything the weather threw at it.
Now I'm in Florida and I still love my car. I'm At 65,000 miles and It has had no problems at all.
Zero. I always do the routine maintenance and
It still runs amazingly well.
I have always had Japanese cars with their very good repair record but loved the way this little car handled so I bought it, always thinking if it becomes a problem, I'll sell it and move on.
When it's time to replace this car I'll get another German car.
I just love the way they handle. It's sick, but I do love this car.

2004 Volkswagen Passat Sedan GLS 1.8T Fwd 4dr Sedan (1.8L 4cyl Turbo 5A)
Original owner of a 2004 Passat GLS 1.8T, this has been one great car.
Exceptional performance, handling and fuel economy.
The VW/Audi 4 cylinder turbo engine is one of the most sophisticated production engines being built, and is easy to modify for even better performance and driveability.
Mated with the automatic transmission, a reprogrammed VW turbo provides amazing low-end torque and acceleration.
You can easily out accelerate a V8 powered machine off the line. I also have a 5 series BMW and honestly, this car is more fun to drive - more road feel, lighter, easier to put it where you want it on the road. But don't skimp on maintenance - this car requires regular, skilled car.

I think a lot of people buy a VW are unaware that maintenance and adherence to manufacturer recommendations are KEY to keeping a VW on the road.
I've owned my 2004 passast for 8 years and it still looks brand new after over 111K miles.
A VW is not a honda where you put gas in it and change the oil every so often.
you need to pay attention to using mid grade or higher fuel EVERY time.
Synthetic oil, EVERY time. New Plugs every 40K per the manual, and on and on and on. YES there is a lot more in owning a VW than your run of the mill car but if you treat it right it will last for a long time.
If you can handle a meticulous maintenance schedule then buy a VW but if you can't DO NOT BUY!!!!

My Father has owned 7 VWs in his lifetime. When it was time for me to get my licence my dad gave me his passat. I got it with 170,000 miles on it and absolutely no problems. This car was bought new and driven everywhere.
I have driven many cars and this was by far my favorite. Its a Luxury Experience with superb handling and performance for its size.
Only a short year after getting the car i was hit by a drunk driver. i was driven of the road, went airborne, and ended up in the woods. All of the airbags went off and i was able to walk away completely unscathed. The care was totaled but needless to say this car saved my life. Just yesterday i bought another one. I cant live without my VW.

This article first
appeared in Jewish Ideas Daily and is re-published with permission.Few things divide and provoke American Jews like the question of Zionism. Though
many wish to remember otherwise, this was also the case before the founding of
Israel in 1948; and, though many wish to forget, the story of Zionism in America
belongs not just to Labor Zionism, dominated by culturalists and secularists,
but also to Orthodox Jews.Recently Yeshiva University's Center for
Israel Studies held a symposium on the history of religious Zionism in America.
The questions raised by this history have profound implications for the future
of Jews and of Israel.According to Rabbi Yosef Blau, president of the
Religious Zionists of America and mashgiah ruhani – spiritual advisor – of YU's
Rabbi Isaac Elchanan Theological Seminary (RIETS), the religious Zionist, or
Mizrachi, movement began in Europe at the turn of the 20th century and arrived
in America on the eve of World War I. American Jews generally, and Orthodox
Zionists in particular, were split between the earlier German generation and the
newly arrived East Europeans.Zionism was further split between Orthodox
Zionists and the largely non-Orthodox American Zionist mainstream. During World
War I, amid the fragmentation, cut off from the European leadership, the
Mizrachi movement foundered.But important foundations within Orthodoxy
were laid. One was the "auxiliary" Mizrachi Women's Group, fiercely independent
and hardly auxiliary. Other foundations were the Teachers Institute at what
would become Yeshiva University, the newly established day schools dedicated to
Ivrit b'Ivrit, or teaching Hebrew in Hebrew, and the B'nei Akiva religious
Zionist youth movement. After the war, the Mizrachi movement was rejuvenated
through partnerships with Yeshiva University and the RIETS.In contrast,
a delegation from the anti-Zionist Agudat Israel movement, arriving from Europe
in 1921, was met with decisive rejection by American Jews. As described by
Professor Jess Olson of Yeshiva University, another speaker at the symposium,
the Aguda delegation delivered an unthinkable message of deference to Torah
sages on political matters and refused to recognize as Orthodox any Jew who was
a Zionist.They won no support, even on the Lower East Side, and were
relegated to marginality in America.INSTEAD, SAID Rabbi Michael
Rosenzweig, professor of Talmud at Yeshiva University, the institutions and
personalities of American modern Orthodoxy made Zionism a fundamental
tenet.Generations of rabbis graduating from Yeshiva and RIETS integrated
Israel and Zionism into Orthodox thought. The key figure in this development
was, of course, Rabbi Joseph B. Soloveitchik, who succeeded his father as head
of RIETS in 1941.For all believing Jews, the creation of the State of
Israel was a theological challenge: Was it a portent of the messianic age of the
Jewish people? Soloveitchik answered with a strong defense of both Diaspora
Judaism and the Zionist project, which remains dominant in American
Orthodoxy.Indeed, over time Soloveitchik's religious Zionism has become,
both conceptually and demographically, the center of American Zionism as a
whole.Soloveitchik's intellectual counterpart, who had built his own
foundations earlier in Palestine, was Rabbi Abraham Isaac Kook, for whom the
Jewish people's return to their land was an explicit part of the divine plan for
redemption.Scion of a famous Lithuanian yeshiva, Kook moved to Palestine
in 1904 and in 1924 he founded his famous yeshiva, Merkaz Harav Kook, which has
long been an epicenter of religious Zionism. He became Ashkenazi chief rabbi of
the British Mandate before his death in 1935.As speaker Rabbi Shalom
Carmy showed, Kook's religious thought was heavily engaged with 19thcentury
philosophy. His disagreements with Maimonides reflected insights from
Schopenhauer and Nietzsche. Modern art and science lowered morality but, in an
almost Hegelian dialectic, all would work out according to the divine
plan.The vision of Kook and his son, Rabbi Tzvi Yehuda Kook, inspired
the Gush Emunim settlement movement whose offshoots dominate Israeli Zionism
today.THE QUESTIONS remain. Where is the center of Jewish life? To what
extent is it tied to the Land of Israel – defined how and by whom? Who leads the
Jewish people, and by what right? Is Israel the answer to the Jewish Question in
this world or the next? These questions cannot be answered by reference to
artificial polarities between Kook and Soloveitchik, even between Agudat Israel
and Mizrachi.In a 1947 letter to Agudat Israel, David Ben-Gurion, then
head of the Yishuv, guaranteed full rights in the coming State of Israel to
non-Jewish citizens – but agreed that the state would mandate Sabbath observance
for Jews, kosher food in "every state kitchen," and marriage supervised so as to
"satisfy the needs of the religiously observant"; moreover, "no steps" would be
taken that "adversely affect the religious awareness and religious conscience of
any part of Israel."These concessions, along with the draft exemption
for yeshiva students, have become the core of Israel's internal cold war. The
rabbinate controls Jewish life from birth to marriage and conversion to death.
Haredi religious parties occupy government ministries and channel resources to
their evergrowing communities, which have the country's highest levels of
poverty and lowest levels of labor participation, while settlers find
theological justifications to defy the state and demand its protection and
subsidies at once. In a sense, American religious Zionism has abetted these
developments.American Jews are now undergoing one of their periodic
paroxysms over Zionism. Liberal Jews are as unnerved by strong expressions of
religious belief as they are by unapologetic nationalism. Compounding matters
are bad neighbors and perfectionist aspirations.Secular American Zionism
seems to have foundered on its own contradictory expectations and now
contributes few to aliya; religious Zionism thrives but is used for explicitly
or implicitly illiberal ends.Within Israel, "Jewish nationalism" is
becoming less nationalist, in the sense of dedication to the nation-state, and
more Jewish, making the state a means to a theological end. The distinction is
profound. The real and potential breadth of the people is constrained by a
narrowness of religious expression. To correct this asymmetry, what may be
required is just what Soloveitchik called for: a strong, assertive,
theologically self-assured Diaspora Orthodoxy.This article first

(PRWEB) December 08, 2012
Due to unforeseen circumstances, three deluxe packages for The Lodge at Chaa Creeks 2012 Maya Winter Solstice celebration have become available, marketing administrator Larry Waight announced today.
We thought we had been booked out, but I just discovered that three Maya 2012 Winter Solstice all-inclusive vacation packages are now available, which means three lucky people can now get in to join what promises to be an experience of a lifetime, Mr Waight said.
Chaa Creeks 2012 Maya Winter Solstice event has been highly anticipated since it was announced earlier this year. Combining hands-on education about Maya civilisation with tours of ancient Maya archaeological sites including some of the most important ancient cities in the Mundo Maya, or Maya World, the all-inclusive Belize vacation packages were designed to immerse guests in Maya culture prior to the December 21st Winter Solstice, which had been highlighted on the Maya Long Count calendar thousands of years ago as a pivotal date for humankind.

Advance your goals in a field that's more than worthwhile.
Medical assistant schools feature programs aimed at helping forward-looking people like you become essential contributors within the growing healthcare sector. In only two years or less, you can gain the advantages associated with learning skills that are valued in almost every type of medical setting.
Think about it: At a medical assisting school or college, you can engage your mind as well as your heart. After all, it's tough to beat a career that enables you to help other Canadians. Whether you go on to work in a medical office, diagnostic lab, or another kind of facility, you'll have the satisfaction of knowing that you're doing something incredibly important.
So give yourself a real shot at more job security and fulfillment. Begin today. Just look through the many possibilities below, or use your postal code to discover a medical assistant school near you!
Every day, doctors and other health care professionals depend on compassionate, go-getting medical assistants to provide essential support services that allow them to focus on treating patients. Through the important work they do, medical assistants touch the lives of other people who may be physically or mentally ill or just trying to make positive changes to their overall health. Whether you're just starting out or want to make a career change to something more rewarding, becoming a medical office assistant can offer many upsides. Explore the frequently asked questions below to learn about the average medical assistant salary in Canada, what medical assistants do, where they can work, how to get training, and much more.
In order to treat patients effectively, doctors, nurses, and other health care personnel need assistants to take care of many important tasks necessary for keeping a medical office or health care facility running smoothly.
In Canada, a medical assistant or medical office assistant (MOA) is usually someone who handles multiple administrative duties and sometimes takes care of a few basic clinical tasks.
The most common job titles include:
It's important to note that a medical office assistant is not the same thing as a physician assistant, emergency medical assistant, or medical laboratory assistant.
When it comes to specific duties, a lot can depend on the type and size of a particular office or health facility. (In large offices, duties are often divided among several different assistants.) Job responsibilities can also depend on level of experience and training.
That said, an MOA often has a wide variety of important duties that can include:
Interacting with Patients
Maintaining Health Records
Facilitating Office Communications
Preparing Reports and Correspondence
Handling Day-to-Day Financial Matters
Coordinating Outside Services
Managing Office Needs and Routines
Performing Basic Clinical Procedures
In addition to some of the above duties, MOAs with a lot of experience are often responsible for training and supervising other assistants.
In Canada, the typical salary varies a little from region to region. How much you can make as a medical assistant also depends on your level of education, the type of employer you work for, and the range of responsibilities you're trained to handle.
National Salary Estimates
The Government of Canada's wage data from 2012-2013 shows that nationwide wages for medical office assistants break down as follows:
Highest-Paying Provinces
In many provinces, medical assistants earn more than the national median wage. Based on the Government of Canada's 2012-2013 data, the provinces with the highest median hourly wages were:
The most common path is to earn a post-secondary certificate or diploma in medical administrative services or health care administration. You can also gain marketable skills by completing programs or courses in related areas like nursing and business administration.
No Licensing Requirements
Medical office assistants are not regulated anywhere in Canada. That means you don't need to obtain professional certification or a government license to work as one.
In terms of other employment requirements, most employers prefer to hire people who have at least:
Many certificate programs take as little as eight months—or up to one year—to complete. Other programs, such as those that result in a post-secondary diploma, are designed to last about two years. Both types of programs can prepare you for an entry-level position.
By enrolling in a formal program, you'll have the advantage of developing marketable skills and knowledge in many different areas of medical administration such as:
Almost every type of health care facility requires administrative assistants trained in medical office procedures in order to keep things running efficiently for patients and health practitioners. As a result, MOAs can find work within a wide variety of health settings, including:
The outlook for jobs in this field is good. According to the Government of Canada, workers in the group that includes medical office assistants are projected to be in high demand between 2011 and 2020. *
Numerous job openings are expected to result from the retirements of many existing medical administrative professionals in the coming years.
Look into the education options that are available near you. Many Canadian colleges and trade schools offer medical office assistant programs that can help you become a professional in this field. In less than a year or two, you could be providing vital administrative services that doctors and patients truly appreciate!
