I am an extremely hard working entrepreneur...
I am an extremely hard working entrepreneur that loves everything I do, the people around me and I plan on keeping it that way, but i haven't found that one special person that it isn't worth having everything in the world and striving to be my best if I can't share it all with someone and support them in everything they love & enjoy in life so here I am!!! I'm certainly not your "typical" type of man, I do enjoy doing just about anything, very active and love sports, the beach, the boat, anything with the water but also can stay in and relax and enjoy time with someone special. i love to go to nice dinners, have a few drinks, just about anything that will make each others day! I grew up playing sports for a living and then started a few of my own businesses and would love to be able to find someone that is passionate about life, their work, and family since I am close with mine even if they aren't close in distance. I try to live, enjoy, and treasure everyday to its fullest with no regrets...I've been through so much in such a small amount of time I just cant wait to make a new even better future! i'm not sure what i'm doing on here except that i'd rather get to meet someone on here considering I hate the drama of bars & leaving it up to the fate of a random encounter... i hope to hear from you all, and then what is meant to happen will! Guess its worth a shot I know some friends that actually have had it work out from here so here's to a quick email or message! I also am very REAL so if you're not up to meeting, speaking on the phone, a skype, or getting together for dinner or drinks or just about anything in real life I wont be anyones online friend for years sorry!

Some other viewpoint
Well i'm a career oriented guy, who loves the ocean, so not a big bar hopper etc, but love events, races, boating, sport games, i'm always up for anything thats fun and I'll surprise you more than you know thats just about my favorite thing in life!
well as for food i LOVE going out to nice dinners, new upscale places, local hot spots: music i'm everywhere, i love movies and as for TV when I get time besides sports i cant think of any right at this moment!
I always love to be busy and doing something, whether its just laying out on the boat or at the beach, to getting work done, to just enjoying a movie or game somewhere... i'm up to just about anything if its fun and love to try new things...
i'm always read ing for work, keeping up with the market and the economy, i know real fun eh, but i do read a ton of car magazines as i love to build bikes to exotics to muscle cars...

Mayhem # 2933414
About MeI'm a heavily tattooed alternative model, hairstylist, stylist and make up artist all in one. When I'm put to the test, I don't disappoint. I love working with a great energetic team to collaborate on beautiful projects.
After years of experience modelling I took a few years to take some time to peruse my dream of hairstyling. That was (and still is) good but I find myself hungry and inspired to do something more creative everyday. I have big dreams and can't wait to get my hands dirty and create something timeless.

Botox injections are the number 1 cosmetic procedure performed in the United States. Do you wonder why? It's because it WORKS! What is Botox? Botox is a purified protein produced by Clostridium Botulinum Bacterium, which reduces the activity of the muscle that cause the frown lines and crow's feet. Why get Botox? Botox is injected to target muscles to temporarily reduce the movement and wrinkles that appear. We create wrinkles when we frown or concentrate; the muscles between our brows and forehead contract, causing our skin to crease and fold. We create wrinkles around our eyes also known as crow's feet when we squint. A few carefully placed units of the Botox into the "tired aging" face can transform you into rejuvenated rested NEW you! Downtime or Risks? Botox injections do not require downtime. After being injected you may have a few pin prick marks in the injection site, but these should quickly disappear. The Botox injections should not inhibit you from resuming your daily activities. We do ask that after you injected that you do not lie flat for four hours or massage the injected area,… Read more »

Futura Pro: Pain-free, non-surgical, body-contouring break-through!
Goco Center For Aesthetics is proud to be the only location in the state of Tennessee to offer Futura Pro treatments! Futura Pro is a pain-free, non-surgical, body-contouring break-through! It couples two sciences that have been used for years: ultrasound, and muscle bio-stimulation, for amazing transformations of the body! There is remarkable inch-loss immediately following treatment, as well as toned muscles, and stimulated circulation and collagen of the skin. Europe has offered Futura Pro for years, and finally it has been approved by the FDA for use in the United States. Here at Goco Center for Aesthetics we are honored to be the only providers in the state to be serving our patients with the latest and greatest technology in the world of non-surgical body-contouring options. How does Futura Pro work? First ultrasound is administered over the treatment area. Ultrasound waves open up the fat cells, and allow the lipids to release into the body. Secondly, ten sets of electrode pads are strategically placed over specific muscle groups which will target a patient's area of concern.

Selling consumers on a $4,000 home-theater TV these days requires some epic advertising.
Ad agency Tribal DDB and the Stink Digital shop delivered just that with an ad to help electronics giant Philips roll out a new set in its CinemaOne line that has a 56-inch, high-definition (1080p) LCD screen built to movie proportions.
The assignment was to "own the idea of having a cinematic viewing experience at home," says Chris Baylis, executive creative director at Tribal DDB Amsterdam. "From a production point of view, we thought it would suit the Web (rather than TV) and allow for better interaction."
So the final ad is not epic in the sense of the traditional big-budget, celebrity TV ad. But it is epic in its ambition: create an online video with an engaging cinematic storyline that also shows off the features of the product, and do it in an interactive way to pull the viewer in.
The story for the ad — a quirky tale of evil clowns and a hospital heist gone bust — was not the first choice. But the original idea for a Mission: Impossible rescue-theme story set at an opera house was deemed a little too ambitious. "We had a script on the table, but it was too big to achieve in the time and budget required, so we had to rewind a bit," Baylis says.
Instead, admakers went with the clowns and filmed the story as a single-shot, frozen-motion movie for the Web. The video, at www.philips.com/cinema, lets people click on the screen to move and manipulate the shot and view "hot spots" within the video. It was all designed to let people learn more about movie-making and movie-watching.
The video highlights the key screen shape feature and a signature Philips backlighting feature called Ambilight. The screen proportion — known in home theater as its "aspect ratio" — is 21:9, the standard wide-screen cinema format. Watchers of the ad video can toggle between that and the standard flat-screen TV proportion of 16:9, illustrating the black bars or distortion of the movie. They also can view with and without simulated Ambilight.
"We wanted people to experience the difference between 16:9 and 21:9 TV, and we wanted them to experience between having Ambilight on and Ambilight off," says Gary Raucher, head of integrated marketing communications for Philips consumer lifestyle.
The breakthrough design helped the second ad, at two minutes, 19 seconds (21:9, get it?), win the top award at the recent Cannes International Advertising Festival. Parts of it, along with the TV in a product placement, will show up in a new 50 Cent music video, OK, You're Right.
Directed by Adam Berg, the ad was shot in three days by a crew of 100. It underwent five weeks of post-production to fit in the interactive features.
One thing the high-tech video does not have: computer-generated character imagery. The frozen motion was achieved with the actors holding their positions as they were filmed by a camera on a motion-control rig.
"We used stuntmen and dancers and other people who could hold their pose for a long time," Baylis says. (You can watch the Philips Carousel "how they did it" video at YouTube.)
"Everyone thinks it was a Dark Knight thing," Baylis says. "But it was really to demonstrate the product."
Q: I recently saw T-Mobile's new commercial with Catherine Zeta-Jones. I know she has been a spokesperson for them in the past and I was wondering when they decided to bring her back.

1992 Barbra Surprise Appearance on SNL!
Just thought I would share. Netflix recently put ALL of the SNL seasons online to instantly watch (if you have an account with them). Even if you don't have an account, I think you get a free trial if you sign up.
Barbra gave a surprise appearance in 1992 on the sketch "Coffee Talk" hosted by "Linda Richman" (a character by Mike Myers based on his own mother-in-law in real life named Linda Richman!). On this episode, Madonna and Roseanne Barr are both in the sketch too.
This Jewish middle-aged female character; "Linda Richman" LOVES Barbra and dedicates each show to her. Very cute. It turns out in real life Barbra liked the character and the sketch (many of you know she even had Mike Myers reprise his role as "Linda Richman" and join her on stage on the 1994 "The Concert" DVD).
So, on this particular night, Barbra had been giving a performance at Radio City Music Hall (which is located in the same building as NBC Studios) and happened to overhear that the sketch was being done that night. In fact, in the TV special "Saturday Night Live: 101 Most Unforgettable Moments," this particular sketch is moment #6. NONE of the actors knew Barbra was coming, yet they all remained in character...mostly (haha).
Anyway, it's Season 17 and episode 14. The sketch begins at 13:50 (within the episode). If you go to Netflix just search SNL Season 17, add it to your "Instant Queue" and choose episode 14. Enjoy!
Blessings, Libby
Replies for this Forum Topic
Thanks, Libby.
I thought Barbra's sudden appearence during that sketch was hilarious! I mean how often do you see Madonna in shock - LOL! I don't think Rosanne Barr knew what was happening at first, either
Thanks Lynn! Glad you liked it too (bowing to you). I love your site!
Blessings, Libby


text: 11 arrested over stolen Samsung TV technology April 5, 2012 4:09 PM J. O'Dell 0 If you're not reaching, engaging, and monetizing customers on mobile, you're likely losing them to someone else. Register now for the 8th annual MobileBeat, July 13-14, where the best and brightest will be exploring the latest strategies and tactics in the mobile space. Here's a rare tech story from the police blotter: Eleven suspects have been arrested in connection to AMOLED technology allegedly stolen from Samsung and sold to one of its competitors in the TV manufacturing space. Sources for the Suwon desk of South Korean news agency Yonhap News stated the stolen tech revolves around next-generation flat screen displays for televisions and was leaked from Samsung's mobile display division to a rival firm. The arrested persons include Samsung's and/or its rivals researchers and employees. One of the arrested former Samsung employees was paid the equivalent of $168,544 for information about Samsung's AMOLED display technology and subsequently accepted a position at the competitor in question. Police told Yonhap reporters that this suspect then attempted to leak the same information to another manufacturer in China upon becoming disgruntled with his new employer. The specific technology suspected of having been leaked is one that is quite unique to Samsung's AMOLED displays. Called small mask scanning (SMS), this technology is a replacement for fine metal masking (FMM), a simple but inefficient method used for one of the many steps in making an OLED panel. (For a full run-down of how OLED displays are made, check out this highly informative and detailed page.) The point is, Samsung's signature AMOLED process (including the SMS technology) was supposed to make it possible for that company to produce larger and larger AMOLED displays, all without having to cut the glass substrate. The company was set to debut a 65″ AMOLED TV this year — yep, that's 10 inches larger than the monster displays they were showing off at CES this year. But talk around the SMS method has been fraught with rumors; apparently, it was hot enough to make Samsung employees willing to share it — and to make competitors want to pay for it. As the world waits for Korean police to release more details, we at VentureBeat can't help but ask, who was the rival company? LG has been working on a lot of the same problems with large LED screens; could it be that someone at that company felt like taking an unscrupulous research shortcut? We'll keep you posted as news continues to break in this case. Image courtesy of Hasloo Group Production Studio, Shutterstock

If i wanted to smell Cigerrettes smoke i'd put my nose in an ashtray. I've delt with my dad smoking infront of me for the past 10 years and the past 10 years its been my dad and sister smoking. 20 years, all my life, i've delt with people smoking around me. my lungs are probably blacker then a smokers lungs... by middle school i was getting ashma attacks from being around ciggerrete smoke all my life. So frankly i think that all public places everywhere in the US at least anyone smoking has to stand away from non smokers since your basically killing us with second-hand smoke.
Its like something i saw on the internet before...
I enjoy sex more then you enjoy smoking but you don't see me screwin in your office (or something like that lol)
For all you smokers out there.. http://www.thetruth.com/ Check it out sometime.
The least you smokers can do is go kill yourself how you want and go smoke outside away from non smokers. And let me kill myself how i want to lol.
Posted 01 December 2004 - 03:01 AM
Smoking while it has been proven "dangerous" is still legal. Why? Money. If the US government made the sale of cigarettes illegal as well as growing it... well, the US economy would collapse. So, instead, they slowly confine smokers to a smaller and smaller area that they can actually smoke.
Look at the NY law with no smoking in restaurants and bars. This law is total BS. Although legally I understand that bars are stuck in the crossfire of the eating establishment aspect of this it is wrong. The owner of an establishment should have the choice to operate a smoking or non-smoking establishment. If a person disagrees with the owners choice then too **** bad.
I actually listened to an asthmatic bartender whine to me one night about smoking. Does anyone see the absolute absurdity of that statement? Working as a bartender has always meant with dealing with smoke. If you can't deal with smoke then do not work as a bartender. That's life.
Slowly smoking is being limited. Don't let people smoke in the work place. Don't let people smoke in bars or restaurants. Don't let people smoke in public places. Yet still sell the cigarettes. Hmmm...
If smoking is so bad then it should be outlawed, period. Don't remove the freedom but still sell cigarettes.
Think about it. No one cares about your health. It's all about money.
PS: I happen to be allergic to cigarette smoke.
Posted 01 December 2004 - 08:00 AM
I hate the smokers, go find another joy for yourselves.
most ppl who smoke smell like s***! when they smoke its smoke bothers me very much!
yea me too, i start scratching and i go wierd..
PS: I happen to be allergic to cigarette smoke.
I frankly like USA's reactions on this issue, cigarrette and tobacco should be banned from the world!
go chew a gum or chew a toothpick like red kit. do something else, i don't do anything at all, just find something that u can enjoy.
ppl here are like this, say u've 5 hard questions, after 1 finishes they go like "oh my i've to smoke a cigarrette" wtf? why? quit that habit!
yes i do understand the social side of it, light a girls cigarrette, though i think women don't go along with cigarrete, at least i don't find them attractive that much...
and when u're in a place where ppl smoke all that smell stays on your clothes, i hate it!
back in university ppl smoked weed as well, i hate that too, the odor of it was so dense i could smell it from my room, opened the window, **** it more smoke coming in!

Happy to see that most of you don't like smoking. I don't smoke either, since its like investing in your own death (pay money and court death - losing money for nothing so that you can pay more money in future towards curing yourself ). Whatever else had to be said is already been said before me.

amen to that bro! When my girlfriend and I first met she only smoked like 1 cigerette every 2 weeks, or only when she was stressed out. so i would never have a problem with that (long distance relationship so never had to smell it either lol) now that we broke up and she got back with her ex shes a constant smoker.. about a pack a week. Still not bad but i know its just gonna get worse its the same all my friends that smoked started.. 1 ciggerret a day then 2 then 3 next thing you know its 2 packs a day.
Non smoker. Never have, never will. When dating my first girlfriend, a few weeks after we started dating she started to smoke (again she said) and well.. It's not pleasant to kiss someone who smokes. Frankly, it's disgusting. About the same as frenching/making out with an ashtray. I don't hate smokers, I voted no in this poll. It's the habit that's the problem. Kick the habit and save a ton of money.
I have tried a cigerrete though when i was 6 if thats not the tobacco company getting to young kids i don't know what is. hated it then, hate it now and never will smoke.
but frankly, no matter how pretty a female is, i see her pull out a cigerrete its a HUGE turn off.

Smoking costs. Yeah, it's about money alright. Do the math on cost of smokes, taxes, 'cost of smokers' to public and private healthcare and the taxes come out way on top by a long shot. I wonder where the extra money is going? If we are going to tax smoking because of health costs, then let's have a 'fat tax' to cover those health costs (in the USA, it is very costly). But I guess that wouldn't be politically correct.
If you don't smoke now and start in the future, someone ought to smack you around. It is stupid. But like XPero, I like smoking.

And just for you people that just dont know, yes they are very addicting, and have heard it is harder to quit cigarettes than any other addiction known to man. So just remember when you get irritated about someone smoking around you, they might be very addicted and dont have a choice if they want to smoke or not, just like you dont have a choice about paying taxes.

Now i cant believe it when I smell people who smoke or if Ive been out in bars when I get home I need to take a shower and throw my clothes straight in the washer the smell is disgusting. I also dont like people smoking near me anymore but I dont create I just put up with it - nothing worse than a rehabilitated smoker who starts preaching - lol!! I dont allow people to smoke in my house either, even when I did smoke that wasnt allowed even by myself!

In 1902 governments in the United States spent one percent of GDP on education programs. In the early 21st century, governments spend about six percent of GDP on education programs.
Government education spending in the first half of the 20th century was almost exclusively for childhood education, K thru 12. In 1950, spending was 2 percent on K-12 and 0.37 percent of GDP on higher education. But then the higher education share began to grow. At the peak of education spending in the 1970s, K-12 spending was 3.9 percent of GDP and higher education was 1.44 percent of GDP. Thus K-12 spending had doubled as a percent of GDP and higher education spending had just about quadrupled in 25 years.
Since the 1970s higher education has increased its share a little. K-12 education spending ended up at about 4 percent in the 2000s and higher education spending rose to 1.6 to 1.7 percent of GDP.
In the Great Recession K-12 education popped up to 4.4 percent GDP before declining below 3.8 percent GDP in 2012. Further declines are expected in the remainder of the decade. Higher education spending is expected to increase to 1.84 percent GDP by 2015 and decline to 1.7 percent GDP by 2020.

Re: The Dog Thread: Our Furry Family and Friends
This is our 5-year-old Golden Retriever, Marley. My younger son, pictured, named our Marley after Bob Marley (the boy has taste
). Marley weighs about 100lbs. He's a bit overweight, but a lot of that weight is due to being big for his breed. As you can imagine, he's the biggest, dopiest softie imaginable. He was also a complete and utter spaz for the first four years. To this day we don't let him off the lead/leash in public because he has no recall; he's far too busy wanting to make friends with every person and other animal he meets. This photo is about two years old.

Outdoor enthusiasts are invited to attend a North Dakota Game and Fish Department advisory board meeting in their area.
These public meetings, held each spring and fall, provide citizens with an opportunity to discuss fish and wildlife issues and ask questions of their district advisors and agency personnel.
The governor appoints eight Game and Fish Department advisors, each representing a multi-county section of the state, to serve as a liaison between the department and public.
Trappers using cable devices must register with the North Dakota Game and Fish Department prior to trapping this year.
Registration is available through the Game and Fish Department website, gf.nd.gov, or through any Game and Fish office. Upon completion, a registration number will be provided. The number must be written on the back of the furbearer or combination license.
Information collected during registration will be used to conduct voluntary education efforts, in addition to create a mailing list for post-season surveys.
North Dakota Game and Fish Department fisheries personnel have wrapped up surveys and sampling efforts for the open water season, and results point toward good conditions on the state's big waters.
"Fishing in North Dakota continues to be record-setting on most all levels," said Greg Power, fisheries chief. "A record number of fishing lakes has contributed considerably to the record number of fishing licenses sold in recent years."
Have you seen?
This week's North Dakota Game and Fish Department webcast, Outdoors Online, is now online at http://gf.nd.gov. NDGF wildlife division chief Jeb Williams talks about the 2015 Deer Licensing Preferred Option, which would limit North Dakota deer hunters to only one license per year. Click here to Watch!
A new plan under consideration by the State Game and Fish Department would allow North Dakota deer hunters only one license per year, starting with the 2015 season.
The preferred license distribution plan is the result of a declining deer population and continuing high license demand. "This year we had about 30,000 people who applied for a deer gun license and didn't get one in the lottery," said Game and Fish wildlife division chief Jeb Williams. "This new system will give more people an opportunity to hunt deer each year, compared to our current system."
The North Dakota Game and Fish Department's fall mule deer survey indicated production in 2014 bodes well for the future.
Biologists counted 1,969 (1,761 in 2013) mule deer in the aerial survey in October. The buck-to-doe ratio of 0.50 (0.46 in 2013) was slightly above the long-term average of 0.43 bucks per doe, while the fawn-to-doe ratio of 0.95 (0.74 in 2013) was the highest since 1999, and above the long-term average of 0.90 fawns per doe.
North Dakota Game and Fish Department enforcement personnel are issuing a reminder that a permit is required before taking possession, or any part, of a dead deer found near a road or in a field, including the skull with antlers. Only shed antlers can be possessed without a permit.
Permits to possess are free and available from game wardens and local law enforcement offices.
In addition, hunters are reminded to properly dispose of dead deer. Harvested deer cannot be left on the side of a roadway or in a ditch, and deer parts cannot be discarded in commercial dumpsters.
The 2014 deer gun season opens Friday, November 7 at 12 noon central time. This week NDGF chief game warden Bob Timian answers some deer season questions. Click here to Watch! This week's North Dakota Game and Fish Department webcast, Outdoors Online, is now online at http://gf.nd.gov.
The North Dakota Game and Fish Department urges deer hunters to find their license and check it for accuracy.
Every year the Game and Fish Department's licensing section receives last-minute inquiries from hunters who can't find their license. When that happens, it's difficult to try to get a replacement license in time for the season opener.
Another reason to check the license now is to make sure the unit and species is what was intended.
The 48,000 deer gun licenses that were allocated by proclamation for the 2014 hunting season have all been issued, according to Randy Meissner, licensing manager for the North Dakota Game and Fish Department.
Meissner said according to state law, the number of deer gun licenses issued, including those licenses issued as gratis, cannot exceed the number of licenses authorized by the governor's proclamation.
"This is the first time in more than a decade that all licenses were issued before opening day," Meissner said.
The deer gun season opens Friday, Nov. 7 at noon central time.

Minyan Training
Learn to lead a minyan
Rabbi Stanway to lead training session
One of the great mitzvot is bringing comfort to the mourner. One way we do this is by bringing the temple to them in times of sorrow during shiva for a loved one who has died. The minyan is an important part of that process and Beth Miriam needs more minyan leaders.
Rabbi Stanway is happy to announce a one hour training session on how to lead a minyan. The training will take place on Sunday , December 7 at 12 PM right after Religious School. There is no charge.
Anyone who is Jewish and over the age of bar or bat mitzvah can participate. Younger minyan leaders will also have the opportunity to work with an adult to help them perfect their leadership skills. If you ever wanted to lead a minyan, now is the time to learn.
New High Holiday Prayers Music
The cantor will be using some new music (called modalities) on the High Holidays. You are invited to learn the tunes with her from these links:
CPR/AED Class
"Over 1,000 people EVERY day experience Sudden Cardiac Arrest (SCA) in the United States. Sadly, about 9 out of 10 of those sudden cardiac arrest victims die before reaching the hospital. It is the leading cause of death, by far, for people over the age of 40 in the US. However, statistics prove that when more people know how to perform CPR, and use an AED, the chances for survival increases dramatically! When bystanders intervene by giving CPR, and use an automated external defibrillator (AED) before EMS arrives, four out of 10 victims will survive!
Our Temple has an AED mounted outside our sanctuary, but our community needs more folks who are trained in their use. Temple Beth Miriam, therefore, has teamed up with congregants Beth and Tim Knotts, American Heart Association Instructors, to bring CPR/AED training to our community!
The training will take place on Thursday, June 5th, at the Temple. The class will start promptly at 7:00 pm (so come a little early for paperwork!), and end no later than 10:00 pm (class could get out earlier, depending on the skill level of the class and how fast the material can be gotten through). This training is good for all ages, but especially those who are around infants, young children (baby sitters, young parents & grandparents) or elderly adult members of our community. The course will cover CPR/AED procedures for infants, children and adults, as well as how to respond to choking for all three groups.
The class will cost $5 per person (this goes directly to the AHA for the card). If participants want the manuals that go with the class they will be available for purchase, but at an extra charge (at the AHA's cost).
The class has a maximum attendance of 14, so call the Temple office to sign up right away! The class is designed for anyone over the age of 12, but it will require class participants to get down on the floor to practice CPR and AED use on dummies (this is were CPR and AED use occurs!). Wear comfortable clothing and shoes. This is a hands on class!
Please contact Marje Richter at the Temple office (732-222-3754) to sign up for the class, again, as soon as possible so you are not left out! We expect this class to fill up fast! The $5 will be collected the night of the class. Contact Beth Knotts (732-259-0038) for any questions or more details about the course."
My Trip to Israel with NFTY or How I Put the Bat Mitzvah NFTY Certificate to Good Use!
By SaraAnn Yerushalmi Stanway
Judaism is a religion centered on learning. As children, we learn prayers, our Alef Bet, the holidays. As B'nei Mitzvah, we discover the Torah and our own personal faiths. As young adults, we are taught our history as a people, our responsibility to the community. And through it all, we are taught to love Eretz Israel, the Jewish homeland. But can this be taught? No, not in a four -walled classroom, not by the best of professional educators, nor even the most enthusiastic of rabbis. But as I discovered this summer, 30,000 feet in the air en route to the Holy Land, it can be learned, and Israel would be my schoolhouse. The moment I got my first glimpse, all I could think was that in the next month, this place would become mine. I was eager for the term to begin.
Period 1 – Phys. Ed, to be completed in the Negev. Here I learned how to wake up at four in the morning and scale a mountain before eight, how to push myself farther and harder than I ever have, and how to take in the vast, unforgiving beauty of the mountains surrounding me. I learned that my counselors truly believed that the only thing standing between me and death by sunstroke was my trusty kova,(hat) and that there is nothing so terrifying as getting up to go to the bathroom in the middle of the night and becoming utterly convinced you'll never see the Promised Campsite when I was, for a minute, unable to find my way back.
Period 2 – Jewish culture and history, which took place in Jerusalem, Masada, and everywhere in between. Evyatar, my favorite counselor, would fearlessly dress up in robes and laurels, toting a stuffed sheep and staff with him to educate us about the First and Second Temples and the Zealots' last stand on top of Masada, where we all shouted "AM ISRAEL CHAI!" – the nation of Israel survives – into the valley below. When I pulled off my blindfold and saw the ancient and modern blend of the Jerusalem landscape for the first time, I thought of how far the Jewish people has come. And when I waited in an ankle-length skirt and long sleeved sweater on a sweltering day for my turn to pray at the overcrowded, silent women's section at the Kotel (Western Wall) while on the other side, men danced and sang, I realized how far we have yet to go.
Period 3 – Health, which included a free tour of all of the many lovely emergency rooms in Tiberius. It was here that I discovered that my counselors actually meant it when they said we'd end up with an IV if we didn't drink our three liters daily.
Period 4 – Social Studies and Diplomacy, my classroom being the dinner tables in the homes of the Israeli teens who joined our group in the last week. This course, one of my favorites, united me with friends I still miss dearly and taught me how to break through a language barrier, allowed me to peer into the everyday life of teens so much like myself, but whose nurseries were built in bomb shelters, who actually knew how to avoid getting swindled in the shuk, and whose attempts to rid my Hebrew of a horrendously New Jersey accent were valiant but doomed from the start.
By the time the bell rang, my backpack was stuffed full to bursting with experiences between which the head of the trip warned us we would have to discriminate, packing some in our suitcases to remember and leaving others behind. When we boarded the plane and I stowed that precious carry-on at takeoff, I couldn't stop myself from shedding a few tears, unsure of when school would be back in session. But even if this recess is long, one thing is for sure: I'm heading back to get my diploma.
Have You Put up Your Parapet?
In the Torah portion for this week, there is a famous verse that reads:
כִּ֤י תִבְנֶה֙ בַּ֣יִת חָדָ֔שׁ וְעָשִׂ֥יתָ מַעֲקֶ֖ה לְגַגֶּ֑ךָ וְלֹֽא־תָשִׂ֤ים דָּמִים֙ בְּבֵיתֶ֔ךָ כִּֽי־יִפֹּ֥ל הַנֹּפֵ֖ל מִמֶּֽנּוּ׃
"8 If you build a new house, you must construct a guard rail around your roof to avoid being culpable in the event someone should fall from it." Though the Sages disagree about whether or not it is a mitzvah to build it – mitzvah, in this case being defined as to whether or not one says a blessing upon building it (since 'the Sages obligated us in this thing because of danger and we do not recite blessings on things that are due to danger.') – the consensus is that it is indeed because of danger but also because building a guard rail on the top of the roof is the same kind of thing as putting up a mezuzah. So, though it is to protect anyone from falling off the roof, it is also there as a symbol. But a symbol of what?
Here is what Rebbi Levi Yitzchak, a Chassidic personality wrote: "This is the intention in the verse: "when you build a new house" – when you experience some new joy – "you shall make a parapet" – you should raise this joy higher and higher through the letters, as above. This is the significance of "ma-akah (parapet)", since we build the parapet on the highest part of the house.
But, this also is the meaning behind the word "legagekha (your roof)", to bring the joy into the letters. As we know (Zohar II 126b), the power that animates the letters is Hashem, HVYH (the Name of God); the power is in the very letters of the Name HVYH. And, the numerical value of "gagekha" is, like that of HVYH, twenty-six."
The language is a bit terse but basically he is saying that the 'parapet' is on the highest part of the new home. So when we build the parapet, we are sharing the joy. And when we share a joyous moment, we burst out in blessing in what we call the Shehechiyanu moments. These are the moments of blessing where we acknowledge that, with God, we accrue so many blessings.
But we are not just sharing the joy. There is another side to this as we can see from Reb Yitzcahk. There is a symbol to the parapet. It goes around the top of the home and it looks like a crown. A crown – that parapet which goes on the roof – the word 'roof' having the same numerical value as 'YHVH' – God's name! When we put the parapet on the roof, we are, symbolically crowing God. We are openly proclaiming that God is the One really in charge. Our blessings are really acknowledgement of God's gifts.
As human beings, we are taught from a very early age that if we work hard enough at something, we can achieve it. As Jews, we are a people dedicated to education and learning so that we can master the world around us, education being the one essential key to succeeding. But we sometimes fall into the trap of self-congratulation and of believing that we have done it on our own. Too often we fail to see the angels that surround us, our teachers, coaches and different inspirations which guide us and were there for us at the right times of our lives. They are the builders and we are the built. We may have achieved great things, but almost never alone. Thanking God for their presence in our lives is an acknowledgement that we can never live in a soloverse – a universe where only we exist. All creation, all of God's world, comes together to create and is always creating.
There are things that no amount of training or education will ever get us to the level we may wish to be. I long ago accepted that I can never be a great athlete. You may have the same regrets about something, as well. There may be disappointment and sadness but there is a spiritual antidote to that feeling: though I may never be an athlete, I still have the wherewithal to stand on my own legs. Not surprisingly, there is a blessing for that. It does not say "O God, thank you for making me stand straight now grant me the power and strength to run faster than anyone else." No. Rather is says "Praised are You, O God, who raises the bowed down."
We are often bowed down by disappointment or sadness or simply not feeling strong on a particular day. But the blessing, the real blessing, is that we won't stay that way and that there is joy and blessing in waking up, being able to move, and even being able to get out of our holes of sadness and disappointment. For that, we give thanks to God and, especially, for God's angels who encourage and sustain us in our moments of weakness and when we are in need of strength.
Have you said your blessings today for your gifts?
Festival Experiences
Beth Miriam has been doing first and last day Festival services for many years. (The Festivals are Sukkot, Pesach and Shavuot). However, attendance has been very limited, especially when the Festival lands on a weekday. Therefore, to adapt to this, Beth Miriam is going to launch the Festival Experiences.
At each Festival, there will be an experience of some variety based on the Festival's theme. The date will be the evening of the last day of the Festival and will include some kind of text study, some activity related to the Festival, music, and the Yiskor Service. Note that there will NOT be morning Festival services and that the Yiskor service will be part of the Festival Experience.
The Passover Experience will take place on April 20, 2014 at 10 AM. We will be doing the Yiskor service, a text study, and a mezuzah making experience! Families are welcome!

Chelsea Lately Veteran Josh Wolf Set for Side Splitters Comedy Club in Tampa, Now thru 6/22
Josh Wolf started doing comedy in Seattle 12 years ago. After moving to Los Angeles, his unique, honest and high energy style of storytelling made him an instant favorite at The Impov, The Laugh Factory and The World Famous Comedy Store. He also caught the eye of network TV. After doing his first one man show at the HBO Workspace, Josh landed a two year talent deal at 20th Century Fox and ABC for his own television show. Although his show never made the air, Josh learned a lot from watching people develop and write scripts. He learned so much that he decided to write one himself and he sold it to NBC. It was titled "Fairly Normal" and it, too, was to have Josh in the starring role. Being bit by the writing bug, Josh wrote on sitcoms for the next four years working on shows like "Yes, Dear", Will Smith's "All of Us" and "Cuts" starring Shannon Elizabeth. As he was wondering whether to go back for another season of writing, Josh decided he was tired of making other people funny and he jumped back into stand-up. He immediately got cast in Last Comic Standing and was on the season finale as one of the Last Comics Downloaded. Since then he has had acting roles on "All of Us", he has a recurring role on "My Name is Earl" and he has done several hosting gigs for E! entertainment. He's currently a regular on the hit E! series "Chelsea Lately."
Jen Kober is originally from Lake Charles, LA. Jen has bounded onto the national stage bringing crowds to their feet with her original blend of stand-up, story telling, and improvised rock-n-roll comedy. Her hard-hitting hour is phenomenally funny.
Jen has a special on Showtime and had the pleasure of punching out Larry
David on the final season of "Curb Your Enthusiasm". Jen also had a recurring role on the first and second seasons of HBO's "Treme" as attorney Andrea Cazayoux. She appeared in American Reunion for Universal Pictures and got big laughs as a militant nurse on "The Mindy Project". Look for Jen on the new season of "Anger Management" alongside Charlie Sheen, and "Standup in Stilettos" on TV Guide Network.

Letter: So, here's to you, Mrs. Robinson 30 years in the penitentiary
Richard Sinnott , Fort Pierce
Letter: So, here's to you, Mrs. Robinson — 30 years in the penitentiary
Dan Johnson's April 13 letter about the obscene injustice served upon Denise Harvey was excellent. He is so right that our American criminal justice system has become a cruel farce. It would be easy to blame the outcome of that case on simple malfeasance, but it is much more complex than that.
The letter by Jim Weix April 12 was also good, and his comment about the "victim's" bragging rights in the locker room might have hit the nail squarely on the head.
How else could the young man's coach become involved in the case? I can speak only for my generation, but there are few young males that do not fantasize about being seduced by an older woman.
Anne Bancroft as Mrs. Robinson was a powerful figure. As a male, it is difficult to believe that the young man was harmed in any way.
One of the factors involved in this miscarriage is the American practice of mandatory minimum sentences, whereby the moral midgets and demagogues who populate our legislatures usurped certain powers that rightfully belong to the judiciary. Not only does that practice grossly miscarry justice, it also places a huge financial burden on the taxpayers as our prisons and jails consume more and more tax revenue.
The (mostly Christian) hypocrites in the Legislature violated Denise Harvey's Eighth Amendment rights, and the rest of the government bureaucrats involved went right along with that violation — spirit and letter of the law be damned. The jury, too, abdicated its obligation to seek justice in every case.
As Dan Johnson pointed out, such malfeasance in any other profession would be grounds for a lawsuit. Alas, the rule of law in these United States does not exist.
