On Her Own
Friday, March 07, 2014
Melanie Notkin, founder of Savvy Auntie and the author of Otherhood: Modern Women Finding A New Kind of Happiness (Seal Press, 2014), coins the word "otherhood" to define and offer encouragement to a demographic of single women like herself who are childfree, but not necessarily by choice.

"Want the man to plan the date" means "want the man to pay for 100% of the costs, including tax & tip, license & registration." Sorry, ladies, the 1970s are over. You wanted equality, and ya got it. Stop the pity party and man up.
Unlike some of the other commentators, I found the segment interesting and the guest pleasant enough -- though as a thoroughly childfree single older man I'm not her target market :)
However I took a look at the savvyauntie.com web site and was horrified at the 'Gifts' section which was just a marketplace for the worst sort of merchandising and marketing-driven toys and games, apparently without any curation. For instance in the '8-10' girls' section there was a dreadful "My First Purse" for $12 or so promoting the worst stereotypes: lipstick, pink colours, cellphone, and even a 'Credit Card'. (As an aside, I was astonished at how expensive children's toys and games are these days.)
As for this 'planning the date' issue, I guess I am so out of touch I don't even know why that is such a big deal!
Anyway, good luck to all the women out there who are searching for partners and future fathers. It's easy enough to see that some women have it much harder than men these days when it comes to dating and relationships.
I feel there is a big discrepancy in the availability of single women to that of single men. I've tired to many avenues from speed dating, the internet, a paid matching service. From my experience the men I've dated don't wanna settle down because there are so many "good" women out there to date. I've also planned d
Agree that this whole "planning the date" thing is idiotic. I am very happy to be an aunt and not a mom and happily married at that. But I'm childless by choice.
And btw, to all those who suggest adoption: the number of presumptive adoptive parents is much greater than the supply of adoptable children (NOT just infants), even taking both domestic and foreign adoption into consideration. Please don't ever suggest to a childless person that they "just adopt." It ain't easy.
So planning the date is really THAT important eh? I gotta "lean" into it more and actually plan the date
I understand from several callers that the job market is very dire. The wages are falling dramatically even for high paying jobs and much of those jobs are outsourced. How can we as a nation sustain this situation?

-BL Producer-
Where in most marriage vows is any reference to obligations to the children of the marriage? Seems to be missing everywhere.
Tony: I believe it's "Ukraine" sans "The."
Why must every segment cater to your tastes? As a fellow fan of the show, I think they do an excellent job including all kinds of international, domestic, and social topics.
Your hostility towards this story demonstrates why it's necessary.
qualifyer: I am already a mom - I became a mom at 28 years old, and again at 30, and I'm very happy to have made that decision.
I want to say that if you really wanted to have children, you WOULD. Being a parent requires putting your own desires on the back burner for awhile, whether they be financial or social. I had absolutely no money when I became a mom, had just put myself through graduate school and had lots of debts, and was working two jobs, one at a spa as a massage therapist, and another at a professional dungeon (Granted my chilren's father made a lot of money) We were engaged briefly and I left the relationship because it wasn't emotionally fulfilling. I MADE HAVING CHILDREN MY PRIORITY... THAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN ME AND YOU.
Still, what I'm hearing from this conversation is excuses, because just as you're the person who wants the MAN to plan the date, you're also the person who's looking for destiny to drop things in your lap, and maybe you have trouble forming bonds, or maybe it's your sex appeal. For whatever reason, it's not happening for you... maybe you should try something different. I was engaged three times before I was 30, and there must be a reason for that.
I am in the thirties, have a meaningful job, a ton of cool hobbies and all I ever wanted was to fall in love and have a family. It makes me sad to be in the 40% that fall into otherhood.
I grew up in a culture where it is a given that you marry and have children. I got married but I do not have children. My husband and I tried but I came to a point where I said to him that I do not want to try anymore. I had a hard time dealing with my mother's nasty comments, sometimes to complete strangers in my presence alluding to the fact that have no children. I finally decided to not be defined by her definition of a woman and to be accepting of the fact that I have no child since it just turned out that way. My life is fulfilling enough without a child of my own. I have a nephew and a god child and that is enough.
Why is this conversation so gender specific? The issue is the same for the LGBT community women looking for women men looking for men I find it sad that it's solely heterosexual
I am one of Brian Lehrer's biggest fans. With what's going on in Venezuela, The Ukraine, CPAC, and multiple other important stories, it's saddens me to hear this topic being discussed. The rationalizing single middle aged woman at the bar while we wait for our table in a restaurant is bad enough. Please don't bring this drivel to an otherwise brilliant program.
Fire that new producer you just hired from Cosmo. I don't think she's going to work out.
The whole subject makes me nauseous. Name one good reason for a man to get "married" in this day and age? Just one would suffice, unless the woman was rich and sick and ready to die and put you in her irrevocable will.
If this woman says, "live your authentic life" or "less than" one more time I'm turning the radio off.
Hardly mentioned yet are: employers that want all of your time, plus, work environments that make everyone compete with each other, males 'against' females included.
I am saddened that we are going back to stereotypes. Why must we men fit the role the speaker describes? I can understand that in difficult situations, it is can be easier to go back to stereotypes; however, such a solution may not be right for everyone.
RE: DickeyFuller from DC. You make a good point. We could use an army of Savvy Aunties and Uncles.
simply put thank you for having this conversation - refreshing to know there are other women out there who are savvy aunties like me (a mid-30's professional) struggling with the "not sure if i want kids" dilemma!
Given the current estimate for the cost of raising a child to 18 (without college expenses) is near $200,000, the annual cost per year is $11-12 thousand. This seems to be a huge obstacle for most women and couples.
@Ginzberg- wow!!! that's scary! now i'm going to have horrible nightmares tonight
I agree this is worth focusing on - but in line with brian asking about why male politicians arent focused on when running when they have young chilodren, why are you only focusing on women in their 30s and 40s who do not have kids - as we learn more about men's biological clock, isnt focusing on women for this part of the problems you seek to change? What about men being parents and situational infertility also?
This woman is kind of horrible. We want men to plan dates.... What about adoption? Also I do not believe 40% of women are in this category. To me she seems like poor me. One of the worst segments ever.
This is all so absurd! So ridiculous. Marriage is murder for men today. Fatherhood is dead. Marriage is a dying relic of a bygone age. Robots and factory babies are coming. Long Live Brave New World!
Really, We want men to plan the date? Ridiculous!
And I'm also very tired of the stereoptypical image of the childless woman who satisifes her mothering instincsts as the cool aunt as if we have to have some kind of surrogate child to meet our mothering needs. That's great for some, but I am childless because I married too late ( a circumstance that did not occur because I couldn't meet men who "plan the dates" by the way). I am very happy with my husband and am not pining for a child. I do not feel the need to be any more of a devoted aunt to my nieces and nephews than I would be if I had had my own children.
Andrea, you beat me to it. Seriously, Ms. Notkin, 1 or the other has to plan the date? How about planning it together (unless it's supposed to be a surprise)?
And illfg, that's another thing that doesn't have to be "either/or." Romance doesn't have to die--it can be redefined. Romance doesn't necessarily mean the same thing to everyone.
I can totally relate to he caller who hasn't had kids for financial reasons.
I have to say that I'm sick of middle class people complaining about their fertility problems. There are millions of children without a family in our country. If you really want children, then adopt. This obsession with promulgating one's own genes is narcissistic nonsense.
As for the younger generation, they will not have this problem because, frankly, as the caller in her early 30s showed, they will never have the jobs that will fund kids. So this baby boom that has been happening will soon be declining…..in a big way.
The dating and romance discussion was totally off. The speaker did not address the fact that it is a numbers game, and there simply are many fewer single men out there as compared to single women, or at least that's the case in major metropolitan cities. If there were as many single men, then the likelihood of coming across a "romantic" man would be much higher.
When I was in the latter part of what were my fertile years, I was stupid enough to fall hard for and spend way too long with a younger, less experienced guy from another culture who proclaimed his love but said he was afraid of his parents reaction to commit to anything more serious than living together. Rather than picking up sticks and leaving him, I waited around for him to make a move - which he did: he left. By the time I had recovered from the break-up (it took several years), the only way I might have had my own kids would have involved a lot of money on fertility treatments. There's no way I would have kids on my own, I would want to be married, so unless I meet and marry someone who already has kids and I form a relationship with them, I am childless. I don't think that's an awful way to be, but I do worry about when I'm very old, as I have no siblings, no other family at all. The big lesson I learned is not to dither for too long, waiting for the other person to make a move.
OMG!! Between this and the Motherlode blog series in the NY Times about infertility, I am having a very hard time sympathizing with this group of women. "Child-less" doesn't make you "any less" of a person, just like car-less, if you do no have a car or shirt-less, if you do not have a shirt. All it means it that you do not have a child. Sadly, Mother Nature doesn't have to accommodate your plans, you have to accommodate Mother Nature's plans. Reality is that bearing children is something you have to do by a certain age if you want children. Yes, it might not match your timeline for career or for the right guy or for keeping you shape longer or your education but that is life! Either make time or deal with the consequences of your choices. Nature and biology do not wait so you can have it all.
Oh. Barf. Are you kidding me? Women are too aggressive in PLANNING A DATE? I can't even comment on that...what I will comment on is: life tosses many things our way that we are not in much control of. I'd love to be 2 or 3 inches taller, but nope, not gonna happen. I'd love I'd love to not have the couple of acne scars that I find unsightly, but nope, not gonna happen. For heaven's sake, does your guest truly not have anything else to do with her time than mourn this? I have a number of friends without children, none of them need to buy a book to figure out how to "move beyond" it. This is such an elitist, nearly grotesque discussion that I am astonished it's not an April Fools joke segment.
What's driving me crazy is her characterization of what women and men want from dating--back to gross generalizations I thought we'd buried. Sure, be a girly girl, but on what is she basing the idea that most men don't want "overbearing" women etc? And what in the hell does "overbearing" mean? Seems to me what dating needs is less behavioral prescriptions and more authenticity and vulnerability--from BOTH partners.
this generation is so self absorbed it's sickening. Notice when the talk about having a child, it's all about them and never about the child
the history of romantic love is one filled with inequality.
This says a lot
"We want men to plan the date." Gag me! This gender stereotyping is creepy. Fine if that's what YOU want but please quit the generalizing. What about discussing what you want to do or taking turns making plans?
Yeah..I wouldn't worry.. Don't wanna burst christians but the lord of the universe or god hates it when they associate him with kids or sons or whatever ..he's like jesus is not my son neither is anyone..I don't need it or need them..so don't feel bad
sounds to me like women, this woman especially, wants to eat her cake and have it too. sorry but once women became equal, all the "stuff" men did back in the day is gone. thats the price to pay for equality. you can book the date now. dont cry about it, because many women fought for this right.
What are the guest's thoughts on single mothers by choice?
Women today have other options than just finding
A husband to become mothers.
America has been rich enough to allow for (more expensive) single person families. Such things do not last forever, they're wasteful.
Wow what shtick. So she comes up with what pass for clever terms. Savvy auntie? Momopia? Oh please. All marketing and not good.
you haven't had kids yet or you hve chosen not to....but the bigger question for this segment is- who cares?
if i were on a date w/ this woman, i'd run away as fast as i could!
LOL, the backslap of feminism has finally hit. Women want it all.
Is it harder when the woman is an only child and the only source of grandchildren for her parents?
Not useful, but, sounds like somebody has a real passion.
With the world's problems -- horrible now and absolutely certain to get worse -- it is wise to NOT bring a child into this world.
You will die and leave your babies behind in what will surely be a living hell. You are doing the right thing. Take care of the kids who are already here because they need help.
Lots of adoption opportunities out there...

Now in his thirties, Damien (Sam Neill) has elevated the family business, Thorn Industries, into the world's biggest multinational corporation. A little bit of black magic paves the way for Damien to become ambassador to England and the head of an international youth council. He soon uses this platform to amass an army of followers to do his bidding. But when Damien notices the confluence of three stars in the sky on March 24, he gets worried about the second coming of Christ. So he orders his minions to kill all the babies born on that day, warning them: "Fail, and you will be condemned to a numbing eternity in the flaccid bosom of Christ." Damien even orders his faithful private secretary, Harvey Dean (Don Gordon), to commit infanticide on his own kid, just because the guy's wife gave birth on the wrong day; a nasty incident involving laundry-room implements soon follows. Meanwhile, Damien romances Kate Reynolds (Lisa Harrow), a beautiful television anchorwoman who feels like a moth drawn to Damien's charismatic flame -- even after he brutally sodomizes her to show her how the world looks through his eyes. Things come to a head when Brother DeCarlo (Rossano Brazzi), one of a secret cabal of monks who have assembled the seven Daggers of Meggido in hopes of assassinating Damien, reveals to Kate that the Antichrist has taken her son (Barnaby Holm) under his wing. Although The Final Conflict was the final theatrical installment of the Omen series, the made-for-TV Omen IV: The Awakening appeared a decade later. ~ Brian J. Dillard, Rovi

Claudine Barreto keeping her silence, for now
Controversial actress Claudine Barretto is determined to follow to the letter the gag order issued recently by the Marikina Regional Trial Court.
The 34-year-old actress, who has a pending petition for a temporary protection order (TPO) against her estranged husband, actor Raymart Santiago, 40, has decided to make herself unavailable to entertainment writers.
She refused to grant interviews, or even send a message to her loyal followers.
The Inquirer on Monday afternoon phoned Claudine's legal counsel, Ferdinand Topacio, to request an interview with the actress. Topacio, who admitted he was with Claudine at that time, told us to wait while he spoke to his client. We overheard Claudine turn down our request, saying she didn't want to seek support from her fans, for fear that the issue would get blown out of proportion.
Gretchen irked
On Sunday night, actress Gretchen Barretto, Claudine's estranged sister, reportedly got piqued when entertainment writers asked her to comment on the issue during the 9th Cinemalaya Philippine Independent Film Festival awards ceremony in Pasay City.
According to Gretchen, she no longer considers herself a member of the Barretto family since matriarch Mommy Inday disowned her after her most recent tiff with Claudine. Gretchen added that the only people she considered family were her longtime partner, Tonyboy Cojuangco, and their daughter, Dominique.
Randy in bro's defense
In an interview on the Sunday gabfest "The Buzz," singer-actor Randy Santiago came to his brother Raymart's defense. Randy said Claudine's request for a TPO was no longer applicable, since Raymart had not been living in the same house with her and their children for some time now. Randy, who was on the show to promote the comedy film he directed, inhibited himself from making any more comments after that.
Raymart denied earlier Claudine's claim that he abused her, causing her "all kinds of stress" since 2005. The TPO would prevent the actor from getting within 300 meters of Claudine and their children, Sabina, 9, and Santino, 6.
According to the actor, people who know him well could prove what kind of a father he is. "These people could also prove that [Claudine] is capable of making up stories," he said in Filipino via a statement e-mailed to the Inquirer the day after Claudine asked for a TPO. "Again, I strongly deny her accusations. The truth will come out eventually. I will answer all accusations in court at the proper time."
Reacting to Raymart's statement, Topacio said the actor "deceived" Claudine into marrying him in 2006. "We find [the] statement to be very funny, coming from a man whose very foundations for his enticements for Ms Barretto to enter into marriage with him are based on stories concocted by him and bolstered by layers upon layers of more untruths, as we shall prove in a separate case."

Lance Corporal Terrance
This was Lance Corporal Terrance's first time on All-American Heroes and boy is he cute for someone being shot at. YES!!! FIVE times to be exact. This hero took 5 bullets for his country. Fortunately, his body armor protected him and he's here to tell his tale and show off some skin.Wow! This boy had a lot to talk about. But, after seeing how he became more comfortable, the real action began. He's a bit shy and it took awhile for him to get his pants off. When they did, there was much to be impressed by.That thick uncut dick would cause anybody to drool. Oh, this was going to be good. As this cutie worked on himself, he started to take articles of clothing off one by one. This revealed his muscled arms and the gorgeous happy trail that ran from his hairy chest down to a thick bush at the base of his stiff rod. Even his perky nipples were hard to resist—inspiring one to wonder what it would be like to nibble on those.Alas, all great things come to an end as we watched

Our receiving department does its best to verify and then enter the correct expiration dates for all incoming products. However, discrepancies do occur from time to time. This being said, the exceptionally high turnover at iHerb ensures that our inventory is among the freshest in the industry.

The Kronbergs Family:
A Journey from Latvia to America.
The Kronbergs family was displaced during the Soviet invasion and occupation of Latvia in 1940. After a short term in a Displacement Camp in Nuremburg, Germany, they came to America and were placed with a family in North Carolina that was unable or unwilling to provide for small children. After staying at another Displacement Camp here in North Carolina, they came to live with Sen. Ralph H. Scott, Sr. and his family.
Exhibition Dates: April 30, 2014 – November 2, 2014

Alexander Wilson: The man and his schools
Education has always been a priority in the lives of the Scott family. In the late 1840's, Henderson and Margaret Scott wanted their children to be educated, but there were very few educational opportunities in their Burnt Shops (now Hawfields) community. Scott learned that Dr. Alexander Wilson, a well- known educator, was working in Hillsborough, NC as President of the Caldwell Institute, but looking to move out of that area. Following a conference with Scott, Dr. Wilson purchased fifty acres of land in the Burnt Shops community. Wilson chose to name his school after his Scottish mentor, Andrew Melville, and on July 4, 1851, the "Melville School" opened its doors. Many of the students boarded in nearby community homes or in the log dormitory for boarding students. Wilson's students included many future prominent leaders in the state and the southeast. After Wilson's death in 1867, the Melville School was operated by his sons, but soon closed. However, a new school, organized in 1921, was named for the beloved educator, and bears his name today. Over the years, it has been a high school, a graded school (1-11 grades), and is currently an elementary school (K-5).
Featured in the exhibit were photographs and memorabilia of the Melville School, the Alexander Wilson School, former students and teachers.
Exhibition Dates: October 10, 2013 – March 31, 2014
Michael Graham Bible
- September 17, 2011

- Posted By: Steve Hannaman
An 18th Century Bible, belonging to Scott Family ancestor Michael Graham, was inherited by Margaret Graham Scott (1822-1892). Eventually this bible was donated to Washington & Lee University Library by the family of Anderson Hughes (Jim) Scott, in the early 1980′s. Brought from Ireland by Michael Graham, the bible was used by Rector William Graham, son of Michael, when he served as the University's first Rector. In the days during and following the American Revolution, Washington & Lee University was known as Liberty Hall. The Michael Graham Bible was loaned to the Scott Collection for an exhibit which ran from September 17 – November 8, 2011. Graham descendants from across the southeast came to view the display.
Exhibition Dates: September – November 2011

New Scanner Digitizes A Book A Minute
On Friday, Japanese researchers said they have developed technology to scan a book as a person flips through it.
The chief researcher of the team at the University of Tokyo's Graduate School of Information Science and Technology said the prototype ultra-speed scanner capable of digitizing a book in one minute would be built within a couple years.
The "book-flipping scanning" system enables a camera to take up to 500 photographs per second, recording about 170 book pages in 60 seconds as a person thumbs through them.
The system adjusts for the distortion caused by the curvature of the moving pages by measuring their 3D forms using infrared beams so images can be electronically "flattened" to look like the original.
"We believe this is the world's fastest (scanning) system as far as the technologies already published are concerned," said Yoshihiro Watanabe, who leads the research team.
"We are considering using robots to turn the pages automatically and more neatly," he told AFP by telephone.
Japan's Dai Nippon Printing teamed up with the university researchers this month to put the technology to practical use, with the goal of building a prototype scanner within two years.
Watanabe told AFP the technology to capture the 3D images so quickly could be used in a variety of applications from robotics of industrial and automotive design.
The technology could be used for quality control of industrial products, he told AFP. "You would just scan products that come out of manufacturing lines," he added.
"It could also be used to develop a safer and more comfortable driving system. If mounted on a car, this could take 3-D images of obstacles ahead or dents and bumps in the road to avoid them."
"If loaded into the eyes of robots, they would be able to move much faster than humans."

Lovingly-crafted stop-motion animation 'The Boxtrolls' tells the tale of a young boy's adventure with the Boxtrolls, a group of adorable, underground-dwelling monsters.
Inhabiting caves below the streets and combing through people's rubbish, the kind and quirky Boxtrolls are misunderstood by humans, with the exception of Eggs - an orphan boy they have raised as their own. When the lovable monsters find themselves under threat from an exterminator, Eggs must try to save his adoptive family.
'The Boxtrolls' is based on Alan Snow's book 'Here Be Monsters!' and is produced by Laika, the animation studio behind 'Coraline' and 'ParaNorman'.

I just went in with my ranger with Prepared Shot/Asura Scan/Sloth Hunter Shot build and a Resto Necro and Dunk and Ogden as healers...
Managed to get 2 branches per run, sometimes getting up to 13 creatures if I was lucky.
I just went in with my ranger with Prepared Shot/Asura Scan/Sloth Hunter Shot build and a Resto Necro and Dunk and Ogden as healers...
Managed to get 2 branches per run, sometimes getting up to 13 creatures if I was lucky.
eh, I didn't mean you were exploiting the game...often times words have more than one meaning ya know
yeah, I get close to 15 a lot, but the glitched timer cuts me short...you really shouldn't need 2 healers though.Managed to get 2 branches per run, sometimes getting up to 13 creatures if I was lucky.
I know I didn't need 2 healers (3 actually lol) but I just wanted to make sure Toma or I wouldn't die. ;)
I ran 2 accounts together, so 4 berries each run. Unfortunately, no icy dragon sword but got the Traveller's Walking Stick.
I did enough minion mastery sacrifice-Olias runs to get berries for my main account. Elder Jonah should be fed to Toma (Jonah kept healing the stupid minions).
Then I bought 15 berries for my other account, and that was so much better.
I still hate the quest, but at least I'm done with the whole Nicholas thing for a week. And for the record, just got consumables. I was hoping for a Moss Spider egg.
2x5 mystical summoning stones
5 merchant summoning stones
5 cottontail tonics (aw!)
10 bottle rockets
I did this on my monk: Mo/N - Parasitic Bond - Necrosis - Strip Enchant - Random smite damage (although, Vamp would have worked fine)
Target whatever Toma is targetting, Bond -> Necrosis -> Smite damage (do vamp if you aren't Mo/N or N/Mo) by the time i got through with 1 skill, toma would almost always consume them.
I brought Mhenlo and Khim as healers (they also contributed to damage by wanding). I also brought Morgahn but set him to not attack (I only used him for Incoming + Fallback).
I'd exit from the side nearest where you get the quest, go up (not to where the bridge is, but kind of between the two bridges). One of the Earth ele Mandragors would spawn, kill it, then go towards the kournan's, but 2 more mandragors would spawn before hand. Kill them, then kill the 3 kournans in the patrol. Continuing in the same direction (away from where you started, but near the town, I believe this is south-east) you should run into another group of 3 mandragor very soon. When you run into them, flag morgahn further out and you can get him to spawn two more groups of mandragor and pull them over. These two groups are of 3 and 2 mandragor. As you finish off these you can then use morgahn again to pull the group of two mandragor in front of the center exit to Ronjak. This is 15 enemies. Many times I got very close, but due to the buggy timer I never completed all 15 (although, I could kill them [feed Toma] in the full 3 minute timer, it would run out too soon).
2 per run isn't bad (similar to the flowers, but you have to somewhat work for em)
Gifts I got:
2x Mysterious Summoning Stones
1x Mercantile Summoning Stone
1x Green Rock Candy
1x Disco Balls
Bought the last 5 berries because I got bored with the quest.
Then got myself a Mini Yakkington
It all pays back in the end

Customer Raves & Reviews
Beautiful product- love it!
Very easy to place the order . It was delivered timely and was exactly what we wanted. The quality of the paper and printing is first rate. Would highly recommend without reservation.
Fully customized fans!
I absolutely love our square program fans that Magnet street helped us customize by combining two designs into one beautiful fan. They are thick and not flimsy like many other fans and come packaged very securely.
pleased beyond expectation
As with any online product I "design" myself, I was a bit weary with the way the final product would appear. However, when the fans arrived, I was extremely pleased. They are very cute and provide a useful touch for an outdoor summer wedding in the South. In a way, the fans acted as not only a bulletin for the layout of the wedding, but also a party favor. All of our guests took them home. The paper was very sturdy and the colors were vibrant. The printing and ink for wording looked very professional.
Better than we imagined!
We were pleasantly surprised at how easy the whole process was to select, edit and order the program fans. The shipment arrived in record time to Canada (within 7 business days) and the bonus....no COD as per my usual orders from other companies in the US!!!! We knew what we were paying for and absolutely loved the way they turned out! With my limited experience in shopping for paper products, these seemed reasonably priced for what they offered. I would definitely order from MagnetStreet in the future.
These were exactly what we were looking for and we ordered them totally last minute, so we were concerned if they would get here on time. They made it here in just days after ordering them and a week before our wedding! Can't wait for everyone to see them :)

Jonathan Sarna and co-author Benjamin Shapell have written a book titled, Lincoln and the Jews: A History (link to purchase book from amazon). One hundred and fifty years after Abraham Lincoln's death, the full story of his extraordinary relationship with Jews is told here for the first time.

Jonathan Decter, co-editor with Esperanza Alfonso: Patronage, Production, and Transmission of Texts in Medieval and Early Modern Jewish Cultures, Vol. 34 of the Medieval Church Studies series, Brepols Publisher. Medieval and early modern cultural history has witnessed a recent shift from the study of manuscripts and early printed books as vehicles of texts and images towards their study as cultural objects in their own right. Rather than focusing solely on original authorship, scholars have turned to subjects such as the patronage, production, circulation, and consumption of texts. Codicological features, annotations, glosses, ownership notes, deeds of sale, and other traces have revealed countless insights into the social worlds of texts - their patrons, producers, and readers.
This book contributes to this area of scholarship with respect to Jewish texts and Jewish social contexts by focusing on select cases in the production of Bibles, Haggadot, religious poetry, and translations of and commentaries on scripture in the Eastern and Western Mediterranean between the tenth and sixteenth centuries.
Sharon Feiman-Nemser has recently co-edited a book with Eran Tamir and Karen Hammerness. The book is titled: Inspiring Teaching: Preparing Teachers to Succeed in Mission-Driven Schools.
In Inspiring Teaching, leading teacher educator Sharon Feiman-Nemser and her colleagues investigate this "context-specific" approach to teacher education. They draw on the Choosing to Teach study, a detailed multiyear investigation of three selective, mission-driven teacher preparation programs--the Urban Teacher Education Program at the University of Chicago, the Alliance for Catholic Education at the University of Notre Dame, and the Day School Leadership through Teaching program at Brandeis University--that traces each program's impact on graduates during their first few years of teaching.
Jonathan Krasner has recently published two articles about Brandeis University and Black-Jewish relations in the 1960s. The first article is titled: Jewish Liberalism and Racial Grievance in the Sixties: The Ordeal of Brandeis University. The second article is titled: Seventeen Months in the President's Chair Morris Abram, Black-Jewish Relations and the Anatomy of a Failed Presidency. Both articles are hyper-linked.

Professor Marc Brettler spoke in May at the kickoff event for Brandeis' collaboration with the Museum of Science on the Dead Sea Scrolls. Professor Brettler, along with numerous biblical scholars from other universities, discussed "why are the dead sea scrolls important?" Brettler said, "The Dead Sea Scrolls are important missing links. They help us understand how the Bible became the Bible and demonstrate how little Hebrew script has changed over the past 2,000 years." Read more about the event on Brandeis Now, and learn more about the dead sea scrolls at the Museum of Science.
Professor Jonathan Sarna was recently elected to the Massachusetts Historical Society, joining the ranks of its distinguished historians.

how many times have you seen broner fight?
a domestic level fighter is somebody who cant beat better opposition than those in his country, paulus moses won the WBA in Japan, so theres one opponent alone outside domestic level.
Rocky Martinez has won in the states and england, recently winning back his title against Beltran Jr in the states again.
Michael Katsidis domestic level? what would that make burns seeing as nobody but me and a few others gave Burns a chance when that fight was announced?
Kevin Mitchell has won in the states and had just beaten the undefeated Eurpean champion, European champions are above domestic level, Europe is bigger than England.
And you talk about Adrien Broner emulating Mayweather, Mayweather had a debatable win over Castillo, Broner has a debatable win over Fernando ****ing Quintera, all comparisons can end right there.
"Sooner or later, we'll get the fights like Broner, and we'll see then won't we?"
who the **** has Broner beaten that would make him, in your mind, the best win in Burns career? What if he loses to DeMarco? who has he beaten to prove himself ABOVE Burns? so Burns is domestic level and Broner is world level even though Burns has a much better resume? Because Burns is Scottish and Broner is American?

Report: Stoudemire wants to open a Hebrew school
Nov 28, 2011, 5:49 PM EDT
We take a step back from today's "what should my team do on Dec. 9" discussions to talk in Hebrew. Or at least about Hebrew.
Knicks star Amare Stoudemire is interested in opening up Hebrew school in New York, according to the New York Daily News.
A source close to the New York Knick tells us the power forward is interested in opening a Hebrew school, which would focus on teaching the language and Jewish history. The insider says the idea appears to be on the back burner for the time being but that Stoudemire has discussed it seriously.
Stoudemire's mother is of Jewish heritage and he has embraced learning about it in the last year, heading to Israel himself. He also keeps Kosher now and has a Star of David tattoo (which is ironic).
Hard to fault any NBA player who wants to sink his money into a school for others, however.
- snoopy2014 - Nov 28, 2011 at 5:59 PM
Lol dude sure knows how to market himself to his city. Amare showed zero interest in his "roots" while in Phoenix. Everything's about marketing appeal and growing a brand nowadays.
- ch4wordpress - Nov 28, 2011 at 7:19 PM
Okay, the truth is that Amare's mother converted into judaism , like Sammy davis Junior. Now, if Amare was truly thinking he would become a Falasa from Ethiopia a truely Black Jewish community, but like so many Black people in the States, we become infatuated with integrating ourselves into White society or a sub society within White society, which is what the Ashkenazi Jews are, instead of upholstering Black society or a subset within Black society.

Perhaps he became more attuned to that side of his background due to his relocation. I know that if I am in West Roxbury ….the Irish section of Boston, I am aware of my Irish heritage. If I am back in my home area of Upstate NY, I am more aware of the German side. Don't be so cynical. It's only natural.
- ddrew80 - Nov 28, 2011 at 8:44 PM
Really Amare! Focus on defense and buildin on court chemistry wit Melo. We all love the kids but stop it 5

The Magazine
Oct 19, 1998, Vol. 4, No. 06 • By DAVID FRUM
"WHAT PRESIDENTS did you just smear then?" That was Chris Matthews's memorable reply to a guest on Hardball who argued that, after all, Dwight Eisenhower might have had an affair with his wartime driver. The reply shut the guest up: For a brief moment, the viewer wondered, Has a Clintonite been shamed? Is it possible? And then the viewer realized, No, he's not shamed. He's thinking. Hmm. Who are we going to smear next?
This week's leading candidate for smearing by the Clinton legal tag team is not quite a president. It's Alexander Hamilton, the nation's first secretary of the Treasury and also the first officer of the new republic to be ensnared in a sex scandal. In 1791, Hamilton, married and the father of four children, started an adulterous affair with a woman named Maria Reynolds. Soon Hamilton was being black-mailed by Reynolds's swindler husband, James. Hamilton paid several hundred dollars (an impressive sum in those days) before finally ending the affair in the summer of 1792. After their success with Hamilton, the two Reynoldses expanded their criminal careers, this time trying to defraud the U.S. Treasury. When they were caught, they attempted to escape prosecution by offering Hamilton's political opponents in Congress proof that he was involved in their scheme: the record of the money he had given them. Confronted with the evidence by a select congressional committee, Hamilton cleared his name of corruption charges by confessing the affair.
In their brief to the House Judiciary Committee, Bill Clinton's lawyers draw a convenient moral from this episode:
It is apparent from the Hamilton case that the Framers did not regard private sexual misconduct as creating an impeachable offense. It is also apparent that efforts to cover up such private behavior, including even paying hush money to induce someone to destroy documents, did not meet the standard. Neither Hamilton's very high position, nor the fact that his payments to a securities swindler created an enormous appearance problem, were enough to implicate the standard. These wrongs were real, and they were not insubstantial, but to the Framers they were essentially private and therefore not impeachable.
The Clinton White House has its vices, but let nobody say that one of them is a lack of ingenuity. Quite unmentioned here is the detail that none of Hamilton's "efforts" to cover up his affair involved the violation of any laws. Hamilton was not tampering with witnesses in a case against him, he did not indicate to his friends and employees how they might most usefully lie for him before a federal court, and he did not perjure himself. Those differences are breezily ignored in the Clinton brief. Watching David Kendall, Charles F. C. Ruff, et al., turn the Maria Reynolds story inside out, one has to wonder what feat of legal imagination will come next. Reinterpreting the Benedict Arnold story to prove that none of the Framers would have objected to taking campaign donations from the Chinese military?
Actually, the Maria Reynolds story clarifies the precise point at which personal misconduct is transformed into a public offense. Hamilton came to that point and, at immense personal cost, refused to cross the line. Clinton came to that point and, fully understanding what he was doing, charged past it.
At the moment that the congressional committee came to call on him in 1793, Alexander Hamilton faced a choice exactly like the choice Bill Clinton faced at the Paula Jones deposition this past January. A humiliating sexual secret had come into possession of his political enemies. (One of the committeemen investigating Hamilton was James Monroe, a leading member of the vast Jeffersonian conspiracy. Anything that Monroe knew, Jefferson knew.) Hamilton could keep his secret only by a betrayal of public responsibilities.
For Hamilton the choice was, if not easy, then inevitable. He admitted the full embarrassing story, convincing the congressmen that he was entirely innocent of the corruption charges but putting a deadly political weapon into the hands of Monroe. Four years later, Monroe leaked the story to a newspaper, and Hamilton took an even more extreme step to vindicate his reputation for public integrity: He wrote and published a pamphlet confessing the entire affair. For Clinton, too, the choice was inevitable. He lied. Once to a civil court, and then again to a federal grand jury, starting the chain of lies that has brought the country to the brink of the second impeachment in 200 years.

Ateneo looks to even Finals series
More News from Mark Giongco
More News from INQUIRER.net
MANILA, Philippines— Fighting for survival, Ateneo hopes to put its heart-breaking Game 1 loss behind and extend the UAAP women's volleyball finals to a third game Wednesday.
Lady Eagles' skipper Dzi Gervacio knows her team still has a chance to hold fierce rival and two-time defending champion De La Salle's celebration, which rose from two sets down to take the opener, 20-25, 17-25, 25-22, 25-22, 15-6, last Saturday behind Cyd Demecillo.
"Hindi pa tapos ang laban. We have another opportunity, we just have to work harder as a team and show that we want it more than ever," said Gervacio, who scored three of her nine points on service aces with her patented jump serve.
Ateneo looked poise to take Game 1 as it even led, 13-8, in the third set before wilting under pressure.
Alyssa Valdez led the Lady Eagles with 17 points with two blocks but La Salle proved to be too much the moment it got its groove.
A win by La Salle would seize its third straight title-eighth women's volley crown overall tying University of the Philippines as the third winningest team- a fitting ending to its stellar Season 75 campaign, where it finally dethroned 39-time overall champion University of Santo Tomas as the general champion.
"Our team has a positive aura right now. We are focused, our mindset is there," said Lady Archers' captain and reigning MVP Abi Maraño.
La Salle won Game 1 despite committing 48 errors against Ateneo's 25 but the Lady Archers know that in order to wrap up the series, limiting unforced miscues is a must.
