This app is so stupid! It let me throw 50 arrows then made me buy 50 more for 5.00. And the animals you shoot move around without moving there legs terrible game. Get the game longbow if you like shooting things.
Fun, but not so Free
I loved the game! It was really fun, challenging, but fun. I DIDN'T like how the moment I ran out of arrows, I had to either delete the app or pay for more arrows. When I saw this I thought I could do a new round and get more arrows each round. This is what I would consider false advertisement:/
When started the app, i thought wow this cool. Then i shot my arrows for like two rounds and then it said i needed to pay 99 cents for 50 more!! This game is 5 minutes i will never get back of my life. I dont even want to gibe it ine star!!!

What You Can Expect
Leaving Tarragona, you'll visit Roc de Sant Gaieta, a tiny village built on the rocky shoreline. Take a stroll among the town and enjoy coastal views from a seaside bar.Then it's on to Sitges to discover the authentic Mediterranean atmosphere of this old fisherman's village with its shady streets, traditional whitewashed houses, 17 beaches and cosmopolitan bars, boutiques and restaurants.
The tour leaves Barcelona at 8:30am and heads straight down to Tarragona, the old Roman Capital. The Romans chose Tarragona's strategic position as the site of a military camp during their campaigns against the Carthaginian troops in 218 BC. In time, that primitive fortress became the Capital of Hispania Citerior, one of the biggest provinces within the Roman Empire.
Our first stop is just past Tarragona where you will discover the impressive Roman Aqueduct (1st century BC) popularly known as 'El Pont del Diable' (The Devil's Bridge) or 'Les Ferreres' Aqueduct. It used to be part of the water supply network of the city and today stands in almost perfect condition. Over 200 meters long and nearly 30 meters high it is one of the hidden jewels of the area. This is a rare chance to get completely off the beaten track and visit one of the most amazing architectural wonders of Catalonia - and one that hardly anybody knows about.
From the aqueduct we travel back to Tarragona quietly entering the old part of the city through a narrow gateway in the ancient walls. Nowadays, the new city overlaps the site of the ancient Acropolis and during your visit you will see firsthand the surprising coexistence of a Roman past and modern life. Starting at the Archaeological walkway, you will be able to admire the surviving stone walls, wander through the historic old quarter - passing the medieval hospital - before stopping at the Cathedral where you can enjoy the Sunday morning antique market. Few tourists ever make it to Tarragona, and fewer still stumble across this traditional market. It's a great chance to pick up something truly unique from the area. For others, there is ample time to explore the beautiful cathedral that looks down on the antique collectors.
From there, you continue down through the old town to discover the Roman Forum and the nearby Roman Circus hidden amidst the urban design. Walk along the underground passageways that held the Circus' stands and come to one of the most popular squares within the old town, Placa de la Font, situated inside the Roman Circus. If you stand very still and close your eyes, you can almost hear the chariots racing by. On this very spot, thousands of years ago on, perhaps on the very same day of the week, the Roman capital of the Iberian Peninsula came alive in all of its bloody glory.
And last, but certainly not least, enjoy the breathtaking seaview over the Roman amphitheater and imagine gladiators battling each other to the death! It's a poignant moment to stand on the same dusty ground that bore witness to countless scenes of sacrifice and passion. Perhaps most fascinating of all is the Christian church built in the middle of the stage out of the very same blocks that were used in their amphitheater.
At 12.30 we leave Tarragona and stop briefly at Roc de Sant Gaieta, an intimate little village built on the rocky shoreline. Stroll between its tiny white houses and let your imagination take you away to Ibiza fishing villages built with a touch of Roman-Greco flair.
Arrive at Sitges at around 2:00pm. This once quiet fishing village today boasts a long and sandy beach, groovy boutiques, and a handful of interesting sights. Sitges has been fashionable since the 1890s, when it became an avant-garde art-world hang-out. Get lost in its shady side streets and enjoy the Mediterranean atmosphere with its old whitewashed fisherman's houses. After leaving this charming labyrinth, you suddenly find yourself on the seafront. Make a stop in one of the numerous cosmopolitan cafes and restaurants and imagine yourself in St. Tropez. Sitges has dining options to suit every taste and budget. After a leisurely Sunday lunch you might want to head off to one of the 17 beaches the town has to offer.

It was interesting to see and learn more about the aquaduct. We even walked on it! We enjoyed the walk around the city to see the historical sights. It would be better if we can have more time to explore as there are a few sites which we can visit to learn more about the city. Sitges was beautiful. We had a wonderful time walking around since we decided not to spend time at the beach. The guide Felix did not get his full name was professional.
June 2015
What an excellent tour. We really enjoyed and are thankful we took this tour. The historical sights and ruins were exceptional as was Tarragona. The icing on the cake was our stop at Sitges..a beautiful beach resort area with a lot of bars and restaurants, shopping, and a wonderful beach. We enjoyed all that afternoon and would highly recommend this tour to everyone going to Barcelona.

Mercury M-Series
|Mercury M-Series
Unrestored 1949 Mercury M47 ½ Ton
|Ford Motor Company of Canada, Ltd.
|Body and chassis
|Full-size pickup truck
|Front engine, rear-wheel drive
Front engine, four-wheel drive
|Ford F-Series (1967–1972)
The Mercury M-Series pickup truck was produced between 1946 and 1968 by Ford Motor Company of Canada, primarily for Canada. Early versions often came with a higher output (CM-1 designated) Mercury/Ford flathead V8 engine over and above the unique Mercury-specific grille, badging and trim that adorned every Mercury M-Series truck.
The M-Series was introduced in Canada because smaller communities either had a Ford dealer or a Lincoln-Mercury-Meteor dealer, but not both; a Mercury truck line offered more opportunities for truck sales.
Pickup Trucks[edit]
Between 1948 and 1968 Ford of Canada used the "F" prefix for Ford and "M" for Mercury. From 1948-1950 nominal tonnage ratings were replaced by a series designation in which the numbers indicate the GVWR when equipped with tires of appropriate capacity. Each code number is arrived at by dividing the GVWR of the series by 100. Thus an F-47 (M-47) indicates a GVWR of 4700 lbs. per axle or 9400 lbs. total for front and rear axles combined, F-135 (M-135) indicates 13500 lbs., etc. Each truck series is rated to its GVWR. In 1951-52 Ford of Canada got back in step with Ford USA with F-1 (M-1), F-2 (M-2) etc. (GVWR = Gross Vehicle Weight Rating - weight of chassis, cab and body, plus payload)
Other Mercury Trucks[edit]
Alongside the re-badged Ford F-Series pickup trucks, Mercury sold its own versions of the Ford medium-duty trucks, the B-Series bus chassis, and the C-Series cabover. The first generation of the Ford Econoline was also available as a Mercury. Similarly, the first generation Ford Ranchero was also sold under the Meteor marque in Canada.

Some of this was in my TAT ride report but a couple of months have passed and I thought Id update.
On June 21, I came around a corner in a section of the TAT between Nowata and Cherokee Oklahoma. I accelerated out of the corner to get back to 40mph, the speed my new friend Klaus and I had agreed on. The area was clear of cattle to my eye and I looked down to check my GPS for the next turn. When I looked up I saw two bulls (at the time I thought they were cows but these were bulls with their horns removed) jumping to their feet to my right and fleeing into me just a few feet away from out of tall grass near a little bridge I had just gone over.
If you look behind the GS you can see the corner and the bridge.
There was nowhere to go and I knew I couldnt stop in time. I thought maybe I could gas it and get in front of them and out of harms way. I wasnt in the right gear and a KLR isnt exactly known for its blindingly fast bursts of power .I abandoned that idea as soon as I twisted the throttle and then hit the brakes hard and tried to steer to the rear of them. Too late. The two bulls were right in front of me. I saw brownish gray hair and then red.
The bike was on top of me and I couldnt breathe. A few seconds later, Klaus was lifting it up off me but was straddling me to do so. I managed to get out from under him. I passed out again. I assume that I never let go of the bars after the initial impact and kept it upright because I ended up off the road and in the grass, 20 yards away.
I woke up standing in the road, smoking a cigarette and talking to some guy in a Nissan truck named Brian who was driving this road and wed passed a few miles back. I asked how long Id been talking to him and they both agreed it was about 20 minutes. I apparently asked for the cigarette (I had just recently quit again). I have no idea what we talked about.
I walked around for 30 minutes or so gingerly. Nothing appeared broken. My helmet looked like hell. There wasnt a mark on me. My gear did what it was supposed to do. I had some pain in my ribs and my right arm was tender but I felt pretty good considering. We rode west another 150-200 miles its a bit foggy. It was difficult to ride and I didnt have much strength in my right arm. I crashed at least 2 more times at very low speed and once I just fell over at a dead stop.
I only turned tail and Uhauled my bike home because I discovered that I couldnt pick my own bike up and couldnt change out a flat. I was just in too much pain. We both got hotel rooms in Cherokee Oklahoma after spending one night next to the highway because of my flat, and I rested up. The Farmers Co-Op there graciously mounted my new tires and drove me back to the bike and helped me mount the wheels while Klaus scored us the only 2 rooms left in town. We both assumed I had some bruised ribs and wed take a few days in a hotel for me to heal a little. It never dawned on me to seek medical attention. I was fine. I was sore, rightfully so, but I was fine. Only a bruise on my left calf to show for all the drama.
On June 24 I finally just rode to Alva and rented a Uhaul. I drove it up the ramp, strapped it down and drove 14 hours home. I slept for a couple of hours seated in my couch, got up to go to the bathroom and passed out.
I actually did bruise my ribs. I also have 20 fractures across 8 ribs on my right side, one so badly that they just took it out. I punctured my right lung multiple times and had lacerated my diaphragm and had bled almost 4 liters internally. It feels like they scraped my insides out with a serving spoon. I had a concussion too. If I hadnt had my cell phone in my pocket when I passed out and hadnt have been able to make one call, I dont know if Id be alive today because I couldnt move or get up. I dont even remember making the call.
I dont have a high pain threshold so if this can happen to me it could happen to anybody. I honestly was in more pain AFTER my surgery than I was before. Im now off all pain meds and walking around town. Im working part time and getting ready to go back full time when students return in September.
When you think youre fine after an accident? Seek a professional opinion.

Around unpredictable animals I think the strategy has to be to try and lose speed. Yours is the second story I've read in the short time I've been on here about trying to get ahead of or outmaneuver roadside animals...it's definitely a warning that I might have the same idea if I encounter such a situation. That and to get medical assistance in a situation like yours with the blackouts and the falling afterwards...thanks for telling it.
Also, that totally sucks and glad to hear you're recovered.

Glad you are ok,despite all. It is sometimes hard to remember that there is no logic in an animals repsonse as there is no logical explanation for something like you(in their mind or physical world).Reactionary thinking at it's finest.RUN!!!!!!!!!!!

Glad you made it!
You had a lot of damage to your body!
You know, if I was you, I would ditch the gps, or unmount it and stop, pull it out and look at it, then put it away and ride, don't look at it when riding.
Just like people who think they can text and drive, or fool with a gps and drive, its wrong, you cant.
Any time I took my eyes off the trail to check something, I crashed or had a close call.
I don't have a gps, don't need one, but understand they are useful in the vast spaces out west.

Wow...crazy story...glad you are OK. You are lucky to be alive.
I agree with the advice about the professional opinion. Just this weekend I was working security at MIS and this drunk camper stumbles out into the woods to pee. He somehow slices his right shin REALLY bad. I arrive to see a 4-5 inch gash with the skin peeling back on either side. Some lady who claims to be a nurse wraps the cut and claims he'll be fine... I tell her I have medical response coming and I'll let them make that decision.
Turns out he gets 14 stitches from the infield care center.
Clearly not as urgent as your story, but I think it helps make your point.
Heal quick.

Glad you're around to write it up. The young and fit can compensate a LOT for a serious injury right up until their body loses too much blood and they're in real trouble. I've seen this even in the ER where somebody has an injury but seems stable only to find they have a ruptured spleen or something when they go down from blood loss.
If you aren't having fun on a bike trip, you really do have problems.

That being said, I think your doctor tried to scare you a little with this part because, given the fact an adult has an average of 4.7L of blood, I can't see why one could survive with a 4L internal bleeding blood loss.

The bull I hit was gone when I came to. Klaus said they both ran away He was not far behind me and said he saw the whole thing unfold. We never really talked about what he saw happen so some of my explanation has a few theories in it, rather than observed fact but I've had plenty of time to re-live what my actions were and what I'd do differently.
So far, the only thing I could really change would be to seek medical care immediately. I wouldn't have traveled slower. That second I looked at the GPS may have made a huge difference in being able to stop and maybe I would have seen them sooner but if you've ridden the TAT you know you'd be totally lost if you weren't looking at rollcharts and maps or a GPS constantly.
I posted this because several people had contacted me and asked how I was doing and I see quite a few posts in Face Plant of "Had a pretty bad wreck, but I'm fine!". Just wanted to share my experiece of when I thought I was fine.

I am glad you are OK.
I am not trying to second guess you, but situation like this is why I no longer have a GPS mounted were I can see it while riding. I think glancing at the a GPS is just too much of a distraction and I need all my attention on the task immediately at hand.
I keep my GPS in my tank bag and refer to it only while stopped.
I hope you mend up soon - rib injury are painful and can take a while to fully heal.

The smart thing for your friend to have done would be to get you into that truck and on the way to an emergency room. A second impact to the head while suffering a concussion is especially serious--riding was a really bad idea.
Do you have any idea why you got the concussion? Helmet old and liner deteriorating? Helmet interior didn't fit the shape of your head just right? Or the helmet pretended it was a missile nose cone as you augered into the ground at 40 mph?

Got my bike all sorted out and just need to make a few electrical connections for turn signals and pick up the helment and I'm going for a ride. I still need to buy new handlebars as mine are slightly tweaked. I've been released from doctors care, I'm off the varsity medications and feel pretty good. I need to ride before winter sets in and am hoping the weather holds so I can shoehorn my fat ass into a kayak at least once before the river freezes.

I'd urge you, and anyone, to go see a doctor IMMEDIATELY if you have passed out for more than a few seconds. I'd see a doctor if I ever passed out after a blow to the head. IMO you are very lucky to be alive. With your internal blood loss you might very well have passed out while riding or driving and then gotten killed in an accident... or maybe killed someone else.
One thing I've learned from the Ozymandius story is to never speed up as a means of avoiding an animal. FAR better to slow down, if possible, or at least ht the animal at as slow a speed as possible.
Hmmm... what is it with KLR 650s and hitting livestock?

My impressions of the Boar House/Hot Dog bar
1st their prices ARE NOT cheap ,over 100 py for a damn hot dog is a joke, they to add insult , they charge you for all condiments !!!, Lets see for a damn hot dog with topping its about 225 py ! Remembering what my Grandfather said when I asked him "what are hot dogs made of ?" He replied if you like them , you dont want to know.... I was 7 or 8 years old .(Hot dogs are mad from slightly better than by-products used in pet foods.
Their pizza is not a joke , the sauce is Ketsup with a dash of oregano/basil and garlic , and very over priced and u get a tiny pizza.
dealing with the bartenders is kind of strange , the speak good english until they give you something didnt order , in my case I told they guy DO NOT OPEN the beer til I checked the bottle to see if it was cold enough.
The only real plus this place has is it is on the same Metro line as me.And their is a couple of decent waitresses there I know Olga is one , the other I have forgotten her name, the others have bad attitudes , and forget your order ,or mix your order up !
when will waitresses understand better service means larger tips when you serve westerners? simple math says 10% or 1000py is better than 10% of 350 py business lunch..... The woman Olga understands this well
Can someone tell me the name and address of Dougs new place is please.
As to Dougs former partner Marty he went to Croatia , and he and I lost contact, he doesnt respond to his email address I have, if someone can provide me with his email now , please PM me .
Summary: we live in Russia, and in Moscow .... a city that is over priced and usually NO service ....
except for meeting with freinds, I prefer to stay home and eat my own great food(my pizza is best in Moscow hands down) and I know whats in it....and my beer is always cold , Vodka frozen in my freezer
Hi everyone! I am new here, but had a chance to see HD's - I love it. Great people - so open and friendly, the food is ok and tasty.
"Great People?"
"food is ok and tasty?"
I might be wrong, and probably went there on the wrong nights, but I definitely cant say the atmosphere was that great, and it kind of killed the taste in the food and the lonely bartenders were only hopefully waiting for customers.
so, to a point, perhaps you're right, they can be great people, but the place is killed, and its disturbing in a way.
on a lighter note, I found out today the general director and the 2nd line manager, were fired from there, replaced by two shokoladnitsa female managers.
so, maybe... maybe hot dogs will become yet another shokoladnitsa atmosphere.
The name change did not help at all; I had a long chat with Kim the other day about this. What do you want to be? A fast food place, as the new name might imply? If I did not know better, I would probably not look for a pub behind that name! "Boar House" had more wit!
My major complaint: Some time back it seemed that there was at least a certain chance to have a chat and get acquainted with a nice and unpretentious girl - for whatever that may mean in Moscow. But recently it kept happening that, whenever I smiled at a girl after 10 p.m., I had her sitting on my lap within a split-second, her hand under my shirt, asking me for a 270 rbl cocktail, and then I found myself under pressure explaining why I did not want to take her home immediately for 500 uro the night. That's not fun, especially when you're NOT in a situation of sexual emergency!!!
So, maybe try to give the place its identity back, control the hookers just a little bit - and the expat crowd will hopefully come again. Any other ideas? I would be curious. Maybe we can build a joint effort to bring the Boar House back to its former glory?
sort of gloomy
been there a few times and its the same thing going on:
- the guards just look intimidatingly at you making you feel unwelcome
- the place in itself is worn down and shitty
- entrance fee sucks especially since there is absolutely nothing that justifies the cover
- dont know if it is meant to be a place for hookers and thats what you want when you go there, but im not particularly interested in them
- the hookers that are there are skanky; old, ugly, alway a few of them so drunk that they dont know what they are doing and look really shitty
- the food is nowhere near price-worthy had burger once and it was tasteless
so basically, when leaving this place you just feel that you are on a really loosing streak. for watching football id rather go to places like sportland, liga pap or other places where you dont have an atmosphere impregnated with skanky hookers phermomones.
Impossible is a word to be found only in the dictionary of fools.
Where is this place, anyway?
Now, having been in the HD again last Sunday, I do need to revise my previous statement somewhat!
Entering the place at around 10h45 p.m., I was charged 200 rbl admission. FOR WHAT??? There was no life music (at least not any more!), and the place was so empty I could almost hear the crickets chirping!
I was trying to avoid eye contact to the "horizontal business ladies" since I was not in the mood to disappoint them again. So I took a little time to just look around. Yes, the place has a rundown look, but that does not really bother me at a pub. The grimy strings could be removed from the ceiling grid.
But I do wonder what purpose all these models of buildings serve which are standing around? The identity of the place is simply not apparent to me!
After Midnight there were a bunch of real obnoxious guys flocking in with an ugly Hummer parked outside - much to the delight of the "ladies". That's when I finally decided to quit.
Again, I think there is potential in the HD, otherwise I would not go there any more; but it needs some cleaning up - in many respects! And, yes, I am also slowly starting to hang out in other places!
The food here is ghastly. Cheese from produtki on pizza and everything premade then microwaved.
Gordon Ramsey would have a field day with this place.

Forget about the pizza,the BBQ burger at Hotdogs is very good.
Chesterfield's/Doug & Marty's/Hot Dog's has always been a grimy dump full of hookers.
Thought is was slated for demolishment ages ago. Why does it survive still?
This is enough to keep it open.Oh yeah, did I mention they do a great BBQ burger,decent size meat,loads of bacon and packed and onions.Yummy.
And no, I don't work for them in any way,just a happy customer,and the place is even better now that they have poker .

I've found it very useful for watching Prem games at the weekends.
Hot Dogs is on walking distance from where I live and in 10 years in Moscow, I've never been there. Maybe I should go, but a few things stop me:
- the old image attached to the place, like the nick it had when it was still Boarhouse
- the shabby looks from the outside. Never see this place (day or night) looking very welcoming
- no reason to really go there. Does this place advertise?
No adverts
the last 2 times I was there in the evening it was mainly young Russian people, people know about the "working ladies" and start to leave at 9:30-10pm regaurdless if there is a live band playing.The professional ladies that are barred from going inside soliciate you as you leave at ther bottom of the stairs !the food and service is sliding into the deep..... stay clear of anything with mayo there (their blue cheese mayo for the wings made me queezy).
I think the only reason they survive is hope of recovering the glory days , and or being very close to the Metro. I ordered a rum and coke, I got diet pepsi it was totally disgusting tasting.

Air Seychelles will receive its second Airbus A330-200 on sub wet lease from Etihad early next year, with a view to converting it to a dry operating lease by mid-2013.
The 2006 vintage aircraft (MSN 807) is owned by ILFC and was previously operated by Jet Airways and Gulf Air, according to Flightglobal's Ascend Online database.
The Seychellois flag carrier took delivery of its first sub wet leased A330 (MSN 751) from Etihad in July.
At the time an airline spokesperson told Flightglobal that it expected the second aircraft to enter service on a dry lease, but the carrier now plans to convert both units to dry leases simultaneously at some point next summer.
Air Seychelles is using the wet leases as an interim solution while its pilots complete training for the type.
Etihad acquired a 40% stake in Air Seychelles in January, since which time the Abu Dhabi-based carrier has been closely involved in the latter's restructuring efforts.
Cramer Ball was appointed Air Seychelles chief executive in February, having formerly served as Etihad's regional general manager Asia-Pacific South and Australasia. Chief financial officer Shelley Cole also joined the airline from Etihad.
The Gulf carrier additionally sub wet leases one of its A320s to Air Seychelles.

Southern Maryland Adventure Riders
Adventure riders come in all different lots...
Some ride to meet new people
Some ride to spend time with old friends
Others are friends who just ride...challenging themselves as well as each other..
So old friends and new friends...here is a place to coordinate those rides...
(side note...often the "encouragement" provided by friends is mixed with a few other ingredients (like sarcasm and ribbing))
So Lets Ride...

KIRTLAND, N.M. (AP) - Residents of Kirtland want their community in northern San Juan County to become New Mexico's newest town.
The Daily Times reports that the county commission on Tuesday authorized a proposal for a January election and that the City Council in nearby Farmington has also approved a resolution supporting Kirtland becoming a town.
A 337-acre area is being proposed for incorporation. It's estimated to have 423 residents.
Resident Mark Duncan says incorporating would allow Kirtland to lobby for state funding, approve zoning to protect businesses and refine the community's identity.
The state Department of Finance and Administration is preparing to review the petition. Approval would set the stage for a Jan. 6 election.

Fujitsu LifeBook P8010 Limited Pink Gold Edition
The Fujitsu LifeBook P8010 delivers "sophisticated computing power and high end tech specs" but all of that pales into insignificance because this machine is made from gold.
This blinged version is made from Pink Gold so boasts a high-gloss finish and chrome hinges.
On the tech side of things, this version offers 3.5G wireless technology, an Intel Duo-Core processor, 2GB or RAM, and 250GB of Hard Drive storage.
And it is claimed to have a battery life of 6 hours.
Despite the gold, it weighs in at 1.3kg.
Price is probably on application, but we expect there to be an "ouch" factor.

director Edward L. Cahn
viewed: 11/20/2014
From director Edward L. Cahn (Creature with the Atom Brain (1955) & It! The Terror from Beyond Space (1958)) and producer Sam Katzman (of many, many movies and the "Icons of Horror" DVD Collection), come "Zombies of the Ocean Deeps!", "A Tide of Terror Floods the Screen!".
I kind of want to channel SCTV's Count Floyd here for a moment, "Ooh! Scary!"
Zombies of Mora Tau is a zombie flick, shot in California, but set in the wilds of coastal Africa, where some decades back a ship went down with some cursed diamonds. And while a new team of divers seek to find the sunken booty, the crew of the ship lurks nearby to bedevil anyone who tries to capture the lost treasure. And an old lady tells of the many groups who have come over the years to try to capture the diamonds only to meet miserable deaths.
It's not rock-bottom entertainment, but it's maybe only a few flights up from Ed Wood, Jr. And of those other Edward L. Cahn or Sam Katzman pictures, it's maybe the least fun and interesting.

30 year old woman | El Dorado Hills, CA, USA | Seeking men 20-35 within 30 miles
I am a spring-type personality looking for another spring-type - enthusiastic and hungry-for-life!
Well, let's see . . . I was raised in Missouri and Oklahoma but spent the last 15 years here in Northern California (where I love it). I am an energetic, optimistic person who would love to find someone who loves life, too! I love to just hang out or play recreational sports. Now if only I could find someone to be sporty with . . . ;)
Alumni connections , Camping , Coffee and conversation , Cooking , Dining out , Hobbies and crafts , Movies/Videos , Music and concerts , Exploring new areas , Nightclubs/Dancing , Performing arts , Playing cards , Playing sports , Shopping/Antiques , Travel/Sightseeing , Volunteering , Watching sports , Wine tasting
Baseball, Dancing, Martial arts, Other types of exercise, Skiing, Weights / Machines
I exercise 3-4 times per week.
I like Cats, Dogs
Middle of the Road
I love to go to South Lake Tahoe because I love to ski in the winter. I'm at the gym in EDH a lot and I try to go to the movies whenever I can with my best friend.
I'm very eclectic in my music tastes but my favorite genre is 80s rock/pop. I've recently discovered a love for Indian food but will eat just about anything. Hmm, don't have too much time for TV but I do love Psych, Monk, Royal Pains, Burn Notice.
I don't have much free time nowadays but I love Taekwondo and tumbling (gymnastics) classes, I love to watch baseball on TV and in person, and just hang out with my friends.
I listen to books on tape a lot (I love Harry Potter, Eragon, Charlie Bone, Bartimaeus) and I also like Clancy, Baldacci, and Grisham. Right now, however, I'm reading A Tale of Two Cities.

For One Day Only: $1=$4, Thanks to Matching from BIG Donors
Since creating EndTheMadness seven years ago I have received all manner of correspondence, and it should come as no surprise that for every gratifying e-mail I receive there are plenty more that are disturbing in one way or another. But what if I asked you to guess which e-mails disturb me the most, even momentarily shaking my optimism that there really is hope for our society?
Surely the first guess of most people would be the Da'as Torah e-mails. You know, the ones from self-righteous folk who innocently inquire as to "which gedolim support…" This inquiry is predicated on the presumption that one requires the approval of gedolim to express an opinion or perform a meaningful action. This presumption is nonsense, and I don't need other rabbis to endorse that statement any more than I need them to cosign my articles.
The presumption is also hypocritical, for which gedolim did they consult before sending off that e-mail to me or that angry letter to the editor? What makes them so confident the rabbis they respect are any more authoritative than the rabbis I respect and that I should be shaken in any way if their rabbis oppose my beliefs? And who allowed them to use the Internet, anyway?
In my younger years I used to try to engage these people in intelligent discourse. I tried to explain how the fundamental concept of rabbinic guidance has been severely corrupted and that there is no contradiction between respecting rabbinic authority, recognizing the boundaries of that authority, and thinking for oneself.
I quickly learned that such discourse never remains intelligent beyond one or two exchanges and that such people can never be persuaded by rational or scholarly arguments.
One might think the most disturbing e-mails come from people who volunteer to help in some way and then are never heard from again. This has happened dozens of times over the years. I used to wonder if these people entered the witness protection program, so startling was the turn from enthusiastic communication to absolute silence.
This frustrated me a lot, since EndTheMadness is 100-percent volunteer driven, and each new volunteer can make an exponential difference. But I have come to accept that most people who express interest in actually doing something aren't really serious, and this is a widespread defect that everyone involved in community service experiences constantly. Now I simply assume people aren't serious about getting involved until they actually get involved, and I am less disappointed when it doesn't work out.
No, the most disturbing e-mails are ones I receive now and then after sending out an e-mail to my list, such as these two:
"Please unsubscribe me from your list. I did my part by getting married this past Labor Day."
"Please remove me from this list. I have been married since July of last year and will not be attending these shabbatons anymore."
Mind you, these e-mails and many others like them come from people who are presumably supportive of what I am trying to accomplish. They come from people who share my vision enough to have attended ETM events, and have quite possibly benefited personally from these events. They have been blessed to find someone to marry and will hopefully enjoy an eternal and loving union with this person.
That's where their interest in the cause ends. They no longer wish to even hear from me. The first writer honestly believes he has "done his part" by getting married (!) and the second one believes that because he has no personal vested interested in attending events there is no conceivable reason why he should even continue to know about them.
I have often wondered aloud how married people could ever be insensitive to the plight of singles. After all, every married person is a former single, and precious few were completely spared the anxiety, frustration, and pain singles experience.
It is human nature for people who experience something painful or traumatic – be it illness, war, or any difficult personal experience – to forever sympathize with those who undergo a similar experience. We are naturally drawn to people who can understand what we are going through or have been through.

A singles event in Jerusalem, co-sponsored by no fewer than five groups or organizations, advertised the following:

Since creating EndTheMadness seven years ago I have received all manner of correspondence, and it should come as no surprise that for every gratifying e-mail I receive there are plenty more that are disturbing in one way or another. But what if I asked you to guess which e-mails disturb me the most, even momentarily shaking my optimism that there really is hope for our society?
I've long maintained that the large number of people having a difficult time getting and staying happily married is only a symptom of deeper problems in the community. Consequently, efforts to get more singles to go out on more dates will be largely unsuccessful unless the deeper problems are addressed. This thesis has been validated in recent years, as more attention to the "crisis" and various schemes to create shidduchim have yet to result in meaningful change or much cause for optimism.
Moshe was looking for employment (he wasn't cut out to learn full-time), and was having a difficult time finding the right fit. Sometimes he went weeks without even landing an interview, and he rarely made it past the first round. People began to speculate that there was something wrong with Moshe, and his self-esteem took a blow every time he heard of someone else who found a job.
It's all too common nowadays for people to defend the widespread method of shidduchim by pointing to the biblical story of Eliezer finding a wife for Yitzchak. Apparently the Torah mandates this method as proper, and therefore there is little else to discuss beyond perhaps fine-tuning the way singles are set up by shadchanim and further shielding them from outside influences and one another.
I find the Orthodox Jewish approach to problem-solving fascinating, in a dark sort of way. It consists of a series of steps that looks something like this:
"And you shall rejoice in your festival" says the pasuk at the end of Parshas Re'ei (16:14), and this is actually a mitzvah. I suspect this is not intended to be one of the more difficult mitzvot for us to fulfill, yet for many hard-working Jews the Yomim Tovim are far greater sources of stress than joy.
Nothing is more elusive than perfection, yet perfection is a notion that frequently surfaces in the realm of shidduchim. For example, singles are often told by people on the outermost fringes of their lives, "I know someone perfect for you." How preposterous, how presumptuous! Yet singles permit themselves to be excited by this declaration so that they may be further disillusioned when the shidduch invariably turns out to be anything but perfect.
