One day in Florence
My husband and I will be in Florence for 1 day. We are not huge art buff's. Should we feel guilty for not wanting to go to all the museums? Any suggestions for must see's?

I think it more important to broaden your horizons than to fulfill some imaginary obligation. There's art all over Florence without stepping foot in a museum. I'm not an art connoisseur by any stretch (what's wrong with poker-playing dogs?), but I enjoyed learning about Florence by considering the art...as well as the sculpture, the geography, the people, the food, the food, the food! I'd suggest perhaps a more intimate art viewing - one smaller gallery or even church with significant art - rather than the vast array of art at the Uffizi. Just a thought...BUT permission granted to skip art all together and enjoy your trip!
Heck no! Do what you like. Eat gelato. Check out street markets. Drink wine. Wander. And you may discover you want to come back!
Why feel guilty? To whom? For why? My wife and I had a day in Florence a couple of weeks ago and we only went to one museum (it was a doozie) and one church (it also was a doozie) and a couple of cups of caffé (they were top notch) and hung out. I don't feel guilty. My wife doesn't feel guilty. We are very much into art. Full disclosure - we have been to Florence previously a few times and this was a quick day trip from Bologna.
My hubby hates museums. We don't go. There is plenty to see in Florence. Go to the Duomo, climb to the top, or do the tower - fewer stairs. Get a great view of all of Florence and the country side. Walk to Ponte Vecchio and window shop. Get lost in some side streets on the other side of the Arno... Visit the market, outside and inside, enjoying the variety of vendors and items for sale, and the excitement of a crowd of people. Perhaps shop for some special truffle oil or salts to bring home to enjoy. Enjoy some gelato and people watch. There is a wonderful Synagogue to see as well, most people just visit the churches. Lots of history of the Jewish people that is often ignored. No reason to feel guilty about not going to the museums, they aren't everyone's cup of tea.
Even if you loved museums, you can not see all the museums in one day. There is so much to see in Florence that you can fill a full and fun day with no museums.
Just to agree with all the others. The only "must sees," for any destination, are the things you, personally, must see - no more and no less. So, if that doesn't include museums, you can go to the Ponte Vecchio, the Boboli Gardens, the Mercato Centrale, climb the Duomo's dome or the Giotto Tower, go up to Fiesole for the lovely view, or just make a study of as many gelaterie as you can find (hey, someone's got the do the rigorous research, and it might as well be you). And not all museums are about "art." There's also the Science Museum, for instance. One thing to be aware of that somewhat contradicts the above. You'll read that there is a copy of Michelangelo's David in the Piazza della Signoria, and this is viewable 24/7 for free. What is not always emphasized is that this copy looks NOTHING like the real thing. If you really want to see the David, you have to go to the Accademia. But again, there's plenty of other ways to fill a day.

New CBO Report Finds Up to 3.6 Million People Owe Their Jobs to the Recovery Act
November 29, 2010
View the most recent version of this report:
New CBO Report Finds Hundreds of Thousands of People Still Owe Their Jobs to the Recovery Act
Updated May 29, 2012
A new Congressional Budget Office (CBO) report estimates that the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) increased the number of people employed by between 1.4 million and 3.6 million jobs as of September.[1] In other words, between 1.4 million and 3.6 million people employed in September owed their jobs to the Recovery Act. This estimate, by Congress' non-partisan economic and budget analysts, is more comprehensive than the 675,000 jobs that ARRA recipients reported in late September, CBO explains.
While the report focuses primarily on the third quarter of 2010, CBO also includes new projections of the Recovery Act's jobs impact through 2012. It finds that in the current quarter (the fourth quarter of 2010), there are 1.3 million to 3.5 million more people employed because of ARRA. [2]
ARRA Also Boosted Worker Hours, CBO Finds
In addition to saving and creating jobs, ARRA has increased the number of hours worked, CBO has concluded. That is, without ARRA, many full-time workers would have been reduced to part-time status and fewer would have worked overtime. The combination of the increase in jobs and the increase in hours means that ARRA boosted the number of full-time-equivalent jobs by between 2.0 million and 5.2 million as of September, the report estimates. CBO finds that this figure peaked in the third quarter of this year, and stands at up to 5.0 million full-time equivalent jobs in the current quarter. [3]
Among ARRA's most effective provisions for saving and creating jobs, according to CBO's estimates, are direct purchases of goods and services by the federal government, transfer payments to states (such as extra Medicaid funding), and transfer payments to individuals (such as increased food stamp benefits and additional weeks of unemployment benefits). CBO's estimates indicate that tax cuts are less effective job producers, and tax cuts for higher-income people and corporations have very low bang for the buck.
CBO's Jobs Estimates More Comprehensive than Earlier Recipient Reports
In early November, the Recovery Accountability and Transparency Board released new jobs figures based on reports by recipients of most ARRA grants, loans, and contracts. Recipients reported that ARRA funds preserved or created 675,000 full-time-equivalent jobs as of the third quarter of 2010. As the new CBO report explains, however, the recipient reports "do not provide a comprehensive estimate of [ARRA's] impact on U.S. employment."
Specifically, the recipient reports covered only about one in five ARRA dollars spent during the third quarter of 2010 and did not include some of ARRA's most effective job-creating provisions, such as increased Medicaid support for states and additional support for unemployed workers and food stamp recipients. The reports also did not include the jobs that ARRA grants, loans, and contracts generated indirectly by increasing overall economic activity. On the other hand, CBO notes, some of the jobs that recipients reported may have existed without ARRA.
CBO emphasizes that its estimate of 1.4 million to 3.6 million more people employed as of September addresses the limitations of using recipient reports to estimate ARRA's impact on jobs. CBO's estimate, which is based on data about how similar policies have affected output and employment in the past, is similar to those of other leading economic forecasters. For example:
- Mark Zandi of Moody's Analytics and Alan Blinder of Princeton University estimated in a July paper that ARRA is adding almost 2.7 million jobs to U.S payrolls in 2010.[4]
- Earlier this year, Macroeconomic Advisers estimated that ARRA's employment impact would peak at the end of 2010, when there will be 2.5 million more people employed because of the legislation.[5]
A minority of economists have questioned whether ARRA has in fact boosted the economy. CBO says that it continues to look at new research on the economic relationships between changes in government policy and changes in output and employment, but that its examination of that research has not significantly altered CBO's assessment of ARRA's economic impact.
CBO's analysis finds that ARRA has significantly boosted both the number of people employed and the number of hours worked. Without ARRA, millions more workers would be either unemployed or struggling to get by on less income.

[2] ARRA succeeded in its primary goal of protecting the economy during the worst of the recession. As the economy recovers, ARRA's effects will decrease. CBO projects that ARRA's impact on employment peaked in the third quarter of 2010, and will decline gradually in the future.

Yes and no. Malware such as CryptoWall goes after the user data specifically. It can run for days or months without detection. By the time you figure out something ain't right, the first task is to figure out how deep that rabbit hole to hell goes. You can't simply roll back to a previous snapshot without losing all subsequent productivity. You will have to perform some reconciliation with data due to undetected daily data destruction. It's not a fun day to deal with that!
It's polymorphic, so yeah, AVs won't find it. It's executes random, in random memory, does it damage to files and drops a few HELP_DECRYPT.HTML files in whatever directory got hit. Then it terminates itself.
It does this to prevent reverse engineering and detection by AVs. Also, it won't run in VM environments so as a snapshot can be created to reverse engineer it too, so I've read. I haven't confirmed that part however.
I believe the payload is hosted in random Google Doc sites.
It will only go after AD if the Domain User account is a member of Domain Admins, Schema, etc. Even IT Administrators should have their own User account, and leave the one for Domain Admin as a utilitarian account. Because, if you're a member of those high level privileges and run the virus, it will run with whatever your account has access to!

"I am a Marxist-Leninist, and I will be a Marxist-Leninist until the last days of my life" - Fidel Castro (Dec 2, 1961)
I propose the immediate launching of a nuclear strike on the United States. The Cuban people are prepared to sacrifice themselves for the cause of the destruction of imperialism and the victory of world revolution. - Fidel Castro (Oct, 23, 1992, as quoted in NY Times)
Forbes estimates Castro has a net worth between 550 million and 900 million dollars.
So yeah, keep wearing that Che Guevara T-Shirt there buddy.
Oh bullshit!. They had the ENTIRE SOUTH AMERICA to trade with! But assuming for a moment you're correct (which you're not) let this be a lesson not to be a neighbor and side with an evil regime such as the USSR.
I'm guessing equipment purchased on the used market. Cuba's still pretty poor right now. Thanks to Castro and his little shit-fit revolution, he drove that nation into the ground via COMMUNISM! And no, Cuba's survival didn't depend on trading with America; or the lack of in this case. The financial wounds were self-inflicted by Cuba for Cuba. It truly is a sad story and need not have happened.
It's part of the cult of PC (Political Correctness) to carry out self-flagellation as a method of atonement.
At the end of the day, we're all whores. So "users" isn't an incorrect statement.
Fail now, fail later. The hard-line Islamic movement was already well underway. The momentum for revolution was going to happen regardless. The only difference is that we, America, had our hand in it. Above and beyond that, Iran would have turned into a theocracy hell-bent opposing the idea of Israel's existence regardless.
So I ask you, what difference does it make? Islam will be Islam.
Iran is the modern day Nazi party that just so happens to align with the West's interests in keeping the barbarians (ISIS) in check. But, Iran is still a brutal fascist regime that oppresses its own people.
"The enemy of my enemy is NOT my friend" would apply here.
That's the problem. Anyone doing that for such a length of time will burn out. I suggest putting these pods in the nearest Dave & Busters. People would be lined up with cards ready to swipe!

Publisher's Description
"The Sheep of His Hand" is a walk through the Psalms alongside a little band of sheep. Sheep are individuals, and benefit from individualized care. Shepherds have always dealt with primal concerns--birth, death, love, rejection. Technology has changed much in the last millennium but the mud and the blood of shepherding are timeless--and sheep are still sheep.
Sharing this ancient occupation with the Psalmist helped Suzanne Tietjen to understand what David had to say about walking with God.
"This book is amazing I not only learned more about sheep than I ever knew, I learned something about The Shepherd, too."
Bob Hartman

"Brilliant . . . This highly original book breathes fresh life into an old metaphor. It deserves to be read by millions."

After weeks of dipping his toe into the presidential waters, Fred Thompson may be putting one whole foot in Friday when he makes his first visit to Iowa. And what better place to start than the State Fair in Des Moines.
With his family by his side, the former senator turned TV star will make the rounds, check out pork on a stick, fried Twinkies and appropriately fawn over the life-size cow made of butter.
ABC News' Christine Byun reports that Thompson will start his day with a meeting with about 20 "conservative activists" in Des Moines.
Thompson will meet with Iowans at 1:45 pm ET followed by a session on the Register's "Soapbox" at 2:15 pm ET, a 3:15 pm ET tour of the fairground where "cameras are encouraged to get B-Roll" before he rounds out the day with even more glad-handing.
The Hawkeye state visit makes a lot of sense for the "Southern-fried Reagan" because he's hoping to prove to Republicans he's the authentic conservative in the race.
Thompson, who certainly doesn't yet have the advantage of a strong Iowa operation like Mitt Romney, may not be in that bad of a position on the eve of his inaugural trip. He's not even entered the race and he already places third among likely GOP caucus-goers according to a recent ABC News/Washington Post poll. Romney leads the pack with 26 percent, Giuliani finishes a point better than Thompson with 14 percent.
Could this be the turning point in the story of the '08 Iowa Republican caucus, a story which has been dominated by Romney?
Over in the Land of Lincoln, it looks like the end of the political road for former House Speaker Dennis Hastert who will announce Friday that he is retiring from Congress. Hastert, the former high school teacher and wrestling coach who was first elected in 1986, will make remarks at the Kendall County Courthouse in his hometown of Yorkville at 11:00 am ET
It's unclear whether Hastert will finish out his term or retire sometime before the end of the year. Hastert served as Speaker for eight years, the longest a Republican has ever served as Speaker of the House.
On the presidential trail. . .
Mitt Romney raises coin in New York's Hamptons.
Rudy Giuliani meets, greets and eats in the Granite state with a 9:30 am ET town hall with local residents in Merrimack, a 12:00 pm ET Bar-B-Que in Amherst, followed by meet and greets in Manchester, New Boston, Peterborough and Milford.
John McCain spends his day in New York with no public schedule but will do a series of radio interviews with ABC affiliates to promote his latest book, "Hard Call: Great Decisions and the Extraordinary People Who Made Them."
Mike Huckabee is in New Hampshire for a 6:00 pm ET spaghetti dinner hosted by the Manchester Republican Committee.
As runner-up Huckabee tries to topple Iowa Republican Party Straw Poll winner Mitt Romney in the lead-up to the Iowa caucuses, the former Arkansas governor is selling his "sensitivity" to people's everyday economic concerns more than any specific policy, ABC News' Teddy Davis and Leigh Hartman report.
As for the Dems. . .
Hillary Clinton is in Chappaqua, N.Y. with no public events.

Haight Ashbury
There's not much I can write here that hasn't been written. This area became famous in the sixties for the hippe movement. It really is a cool area with funky shops and great people watching. I saw a man in a cape and knee pads barreling down the street like he was on a mission.
Visit Haight/ Ashbury
My husband being a rock and roller in his youth ( and still today in many ways) this was a must go to place. This was corner of the city was well known all over the world as THE Hippie center .The Hippie era is a little before our time , just a little . If not i'm sure we would have landed here before now. Its a pretty colorful street today with lots of memorabelia.
There are T shirts from many different band concerts and posters etc.
Its a different spot today , although I did see a couple of "hangers on to the past"~~~There are some interesting shops , bookstores and coffee shops in this area , frequented by the many College kids and tourists alike.

I could spend days here, infact I did (I was staying down the street)
They have everything and a great selection of used cds/music.
Also a great DVD collection and used DVD's
The staff was very helpful.

Drop by the Haight District
Haight Street is a stretch of vintage shops and bars where the vibe underscores the city's counterculture.
From their website:
"Haight Street has been through good economic times and bad, but now appears to have settled into a steady state of thriving commerce mixed with the bizarre. The Upper Haight is where Graham Nash, the Grateful Dead and many other popular rock bands once made their homes. It was also the primary site for the Summer of Love (1967) when George Harrison walked down it with a guitar in his hands followed by a cadre of Flower Children. Today it is frequented by locals, enjoys a brisk tourist trade and a considerable degree of Yuppification.
- Arts and Culture
This is the fabled intersection in San Francisco where the hippie movement began in the mid-1960s. It's also a fun place to shop, eat, or simply hang out. The streets are lined with all manner of quaint restaurants, stores, and other businesses. Check out the website.

Haight Street Architecture
What once supposedly was a theater (not the Straight theater - no one remembers which one) on Haight Street is now a strange clothing store called Wasteland.
No one working inside could tell me what it used to be. Does anyone know? Address is 1660 Haight St. between Clayton and Cole.
The Straight Theater was at 1748 Haight so I don't remember what this was - maybe it is "new" and wasn't anything at all....??
I like the architecture though, especially the detail.

This wasn't my favorite part of the city but there is so much history here.
I brought my mother and stepfather. My stepfather lived in the area during the 60's and he wanted to see what it was like now. He thought it was very much the same, except for the Gap. My mother and I thought it was kind of seedy. There are some head shops, a lot of tie dye and homeless. The homeless crowd tends to be younger age group than the rest of the city.
There are some nice places to eat. We stopped for lunch at a small vegetarian restaurant (I wish I could remember the name) and our food was amazing.
The scene seems to be geared toward a younger, hippy crowd and older people wanting to visit because of the history..
We checked out the Grateful Dead house but didn't have time to see where Janis Joplin lived.
Where the hippie era all started
The Haight-Ashbury is where the famous hippie era all started, and is still a very tolerant, open, liberal, and funky neighborhood today. Here, you will find stores selling everything from hemp to tattoos to piercings to psychodelic shirts. While I have seen other VTers say it is a not-so-safe neighborhood, I don't find that to be the case at all. I have been there during both daytime and nighttime, and all one must do is exercise street smarts and caution. The most I have ever been bothered was by panhandlers, but I just respond with "sorry" and walk off confidently. The Haight-ashbury does have its share of teenagers who just hang out on street corners, but it is easy to avoid them. Visiting this neighborhood is a must to see the hippie era's roots!

OK, there are many different neighborhoods and vibes going on in San Francisco. The reason why I'm compelled to single this particular one out is because I'm a raging DeadHead....a nostalgic Grateful Dead fan (and borderline obsessive Jerry Garcia aficionado, R.I.P.)
Anyways - most Americans are probably familiar with this place but for those who are not, it is basically the area in San Francisco where the hippies lived and loved; where the peaceful counter-culture of America's 60's dwelled and dropped acid; where incense pervaded the streets and free-wheeling musicians played impromptu performances; where flower-power and tie-dye ruled and if you couldn't make it to Kathmandu, then this was the next best thing.
Today, many locals like to "hate 'The Haight'", but I still love this place (again, probably because of the whole Grateful Dead connection). What is annoying about it now - and I'll concede this much - is that it is making money off its memories and somehow this seems sacrilegious, given its provocative and iconic history.
The Haight-Ashbury area is divided into two basic areas - the Upper Haight and the Lower Haight. The Lower Haight is the funkier, grittier of the two.
I personally think you should not visit San Francisco without including a quick stop by The Haight, to pay your respects to the living symbol of an era that was arguably more pure and idealistic - if not a bit laid back, a bit stoned....but surely an all around groovy refuge for a kinder, gentler America.
The Haight
The Haight was the center of a small universe in the late 60s as the Summer of Love supplanted Swinging London's mid-60s perch atop the heap of youth influence. Victorians seemed the perfect homes for these long-haired hippies clad in flowery clothes seeming of another era. Janis Joplin, The Jefferson Airplane and The Grateful Dead all called The Haight home. Well, it went downhill since then but has started to really revitalize itself. There is still a seedy element to the area but the Victorians are worth too much money to fall into further disrepair so they're being renovated to no end, and higher end shops have replaced many of the "head" shops of the past. It all has a flower power tinge to it but you get the feeling it's more for show (and to make money) than for any real yearning for the better vibes of another time. The lower Haight is more authentic and retains some edgy flair. Closer to the park, you find more tourists and those looking for an already passé life, but certainly its worth checking out on your way to or from Golden Gate Park. It's a nice enough place to do some window shopping, people watch and there are lots of good cheap places to eat. Oh, and don't forget the Magnolia Pub & Brewery right in the center of it all as well as Toronado in the lower Haight, both great places to soak in local color and enjoy the local brews too.

Love the Haight (How lame is that?)
The hippie days live in the Haight. This isn't a 60's theme park either, but a famous, working SF neighborhood, home of the "peace and love" generation.
It's got restaurants (including organic food), bars, second hand record stores (I can spend hours in these places, and spend lots of money too) and, yes, headshops. Check out Ben & Jerrys, at the corner of Haight and Ashbury. And this is weird for SF, but I didn't see any Starbucks (unless I missed it, of course)
There's also access to Golden Gate Park at the end of Haight Street. Beware of the pot dealers that congregate near the entrance though.

The Haight
Definately one of the more interesting parts of the city. Once the center of the hippie movement during the Summer of Love, this area is now home to trendy boutiques and restaurants. Perhaps the most interesting part of the Haight is the people. The streets are populated with one of the most diverse crowds in the city; not only people of all cultures, but people of all social, economic and political backgrounds as well. It"s not uncommon to see a Vietnam veteran crossing the street alongside a punk-rocker and a family on vacation wearing Alcatraz T-shirts.
The Haight is full of wonderful historical places of Old SF too. Be sure to check out the house at 710 Ashbury where the members of The Grateful Dead lived in the "60s.
One of my favorite things to do is go to the Haight-Ashbury Street Fair. They have great music and street vendors.

The Haight
We figured that no trip to San Francisco would be complete without a trip to the famous hippie landmark from the 60's of the Haight-Ashbury intersection. So, off we went, looking for peace, love and the unassuming, unmarked, former home of the Grateful Dead. What we found instead, was a Gap. That's okay though- the Haight still seems to attract a pretty diverse bunch of people, mostly punk skateboard kids and goth kids, but others as well. It is a little reminiscent of the East Village in New York City, full of vintage clothing shops and little knick knack stores. One good reason to go to the Haight, particularly if you are into music, is the record store Amoeba Records, which is located there. Amoeba is a true experience and plus, they have the best collection of used CD's I have found anywhere- particularly if you are into esoteric, hard to find bands. Try here. They are located at 1855 Haight Street. Golden Gate Park borders the Haight too, and is a really pretty park with some truly interesting characters.
- Arts and Culture
Haight Ashbury
The Summer of Love was a phrase given to the summer of 1967 to try to describe the feeling of being in San Francisco that summer, when the hippie movement began. The actual beginning of this "Summer" can be attributed to the Human Be-In that took place in Golden Gate Park on January 14 of that year. Timothy Leary, Allen Ginsberg, and the Jefferson Airplane all participated in the event, a celebration of hippie culture and values. The center of this 'tune in, turn on and drop out" movement was San Francisco's Haight-Ashbury district. It was a special time when the peace movement marched through its streets and the neighborhood grew to symbolize an era.
Artists such as the Grateful Dead and Janis Joplin used to make their homes here. Landmark seekers still photograph the former homes of Janis Joplin at 112 Lyon and the Grateful Dead's Jerry Garcia at 710 Ashbury. Those 60s 'flower children' can recall the Red Victorian, a brightly colored, 18-room guesthouse, as the "Jeffrey Haight", a crash pad during Haight-Ashbury's glory days. A psychedelic hub around which a generation's values crystallized, the Haight set an agenda that was solidly antiwar, pro-free food and free love, and stood ready to challenge the capitalist state.
Today the Haight continues to be a popular destination for those trying to find the "the Summer of Love". They try to find it in the head shops and stores making the hand-made tributes past memories, and in the drum circles on nearby Hippie Hill in Golden Gate Park's Sharon Meadow. But time has brought trendy boutiques, restaurants and novelty shops to replace less profit-oriented neighborhood businesses. The discovery of a Gap on the famed corner of Haight and Ashbury daily makes disillusioned pilgrims moan at the irony. The Haight is a combination of affluent shop owners and homeowners, burned-out hippies and destitute street people, youngsters with their hands out and credit cards in their back pocket, as well as those seeking a countercultural lifestyle.

No plans to scrap borough council
Posted: March 31, 2014|
STAFFORDSHIRE County Council will not put forward plans to axe the county's district and borough councils, its leader has said.
Philip Atkins was speaking in light of Leicestershire County Council's decision to investigate the benefits of scrapping district councils in favour of becoming a unitary authority, while the same proposal is also being considered in Warwickshire, as local government budgets continue to be squeezed.
But Councillor Atkins (pictured) said the measure was not right for Staffordshire, meaning that East Staffordshire Borough Council will be safe from the axe, and that he would focus on working with partners from other counties to cut costs.
He said: "There are lots of ways within and outside our boundaries that we can save money and retain democratic accountability."
Any proposal to become a unitary authority would need to gain the support of the district and borough councils.

Has BB ever replaced a coach during the season? I don't recall that happening.
Anyway, is it possible that over the last 4 years while he has had primary responsibility for the defensive secondary, that each and every one of the guys he has coached has not had the skill set and brains to succeed and improve? That's hard to fathom. I won't go through the list of all the draftees that have been released (many). Who has improved under his tenure? Give me one name?
What would we lose if we let him go and brought in someone else? Right now I think the Pats need to use the next few weeks and the bye week for a midseason mini-camp for the secondary.

While the Western Cape High court was hearing an application initiated by the DA for an urgent interdict to have SABC COO Hlaudi Motsoeneng's permanent appointment set aside and for him to be suspended immediately, the Public Protector and the Communications Minister met in Pretoria and agreed to co-operate on the matter. So where does that leave the DA? Or Hlaudi? Or the SABC, for that matter?
More or less the same time Public Protector Thuli Madonsela and Communications Minister Faith Muthambi were meeting in Pretoria yesterday, Madonsela's legal representative, Etienne Labuschagne, argued in the Cape High Court that the remedial action she had set out in her February report in relation to SABC COO Hlaudi Motsoeneng was binding.
That legal representatives acting for some of the nine respondents (and in particular Norman Arendse acting for Motsoeneng) in the case brought by the Democratic Alliance in the Cape High Court this week had "glossed" over these recommendations - regarding them instead as mere "proposals" - Labuschagne said, "sounded the death knell for the effectiveness of the office of the Public Protector".
Labuschagne told Justice Ashwin Schippers that organs of state had recently embarked on a variety of...

No free shuttle from the airport
Hotel was much more beautiful than in pictures. Recently remodeled. Huge room with great views. Most extensive breakfast buffet I've ever seen. Staff could not have been more helpful. Front desk clerk walked us through the parking lot out to the street to give us directions.
Difficulty getting to shopping malls which were right across the street. Would build a walkway overpass or underground walkway to make it easier for guests to access malls. Had to pay for Wifi.
friendly and helpful staff; gym
hard to find location. Didn't change towels unless asked; towels are dirty and old; sheets are not clean. Breakfast could be improved.
The price was very good, and included breakfast
Located in a traffic zone, takes a long time to get to and from.Due to building activity very noisy.
Sumptuous offerings at breakfast buffet, very attentive staff, as well as secure and luxurious facilities right in the middle of the urban sprawl.
Housekeeping was a bit tardy

Baja 1000 for the Wounded
View Single Post
Baja Basketball
Joined: Jan 2012
Location: South Florida
Oddometer: 120
Well I'm finally 'home'. I arrived in South Florida last night. This morning I woke up and had no idea where I was. It was a weird feeling. But it's definitely nice to be motionless for a few days. I've been on motion for about 4 weeks straight. All in all, we traveled about 15,000 miles on road and on dirt over some of the wildest terrain I could imagine. One thing everyone can agree on...silt sucks!
I made it back from Baja with a finisher's pin, a podium finish, a forearm still full of cactus thorns, 2 black eyes, hours of amazing GoPro footage, memories to last a lifetime, a love of that crazy peninsula, and a newfound respect for my teammates. Quitting is harder than moving the bike forward. Each teammate made it his only goal to simply get the bike to the next rider.
More important than our finisher's pin or even the podium finish, is the fact that we were able to raise just shy of
for our wounded veterans. This is truly incredible. Thank you!
I'll be putting together a ride report as soon as I can. There's just so much to say.
This isn't the end of 'RaceForTheWounded'. Stay tuned for bigger news... One thing is for sure, Baja hasn't seen the last of RaceForTheWounded!
I want to second what Brett said about Frog. That's one tough M'fer. Congrats. Hands down the best speech all night.
I also want to thank our entire pit/chase crew John Sr, Sue, Fred, Becky, Hup, Chili Reno, Russ, Kyle, David, Jerry (my dad), and Trey.
And I can't forget our sponsors. Without your help, we'd never of gotten to the finish line.
Again...thank you all for your support and dedication to helping our wounded vets.

ATTN: People who practice "MMA"
Choke on a dick.
Since I've started Judo and when sensei imamura asked me if I had prior experience. I told him what I did. Kickboxing, TKD, the jitz, etc. And then the question, "What are you training for?" came up eventually and I told them I had a fight coming soon. The news spread pretty quickly that they got a new student (which is always nice) and that I am training for an upcoming fight. I am the "mma guy."
So since then, everyone's a little standoffish towards me. The whole stigma of being a meathead really sucks. Thanks to you assholes. I am actually incredibly humble and incredibly nice when I train. Weird, I know, but it's true. Anyway, just felt like ranting.

31 year old woman | Jacksonville, FL, USA | Seeking men 28-37 within 50 miles
Most people would rather be certain they're miserable than risk being happy.
Looking for a genuine connection and although the following may seem overwhelmingly demanding… I simply know what I want, and if you read closely, you'll see its really not that demanding: I want a laid-back yet responsible man who views women as his equal and not his inferior; an assertive man who understands the difference between confidence and cockiness; a man who compliments my life, not complicates it; a man who knows when to be selfish and when to put his partner's needs above his own without resentment; a man who equally enjoys a night of dancing and partying as much as a night of home cooking while listening to Frank and Ella; a man who is gentle and humble and yet has room for humor and excitement; a man who can disagree with my opinion and bring forth a challenge; a man who is not intimidated by independence but yet still wants to be supportive in the capacity he can be. I want a friend and a companion - an honest, fun, spontaneous, and good-hearted man. I want a self-sufficient man who doesn't require or need to be pampered but a man who makes me want to be the caregiver I inherently am. I want to be someone's partner, not their mother. I am looking for someone who appreciates everything I have to offer without wanting to change me - a person that knows that what I have to offer is more than enough. I know I'm worth it....just looking for the ONE who realizes it too ;-) I love my family, I love my friends, and I love my career. As shocking it is for me (as a female) to say this, I'm actually looking forward to my 30's…feel like it's going to be a great decade. I also admit that I am obsessed with my dog Peanut….she is the highlight of my day, every day. My friends and family have described me as funny, blunt, responsible, good-hearted and strong-spirited. If this is the kind of person you are interested in meeting then hit me up! (Please, as you can tell, I am NOT looking for any randonmness!)

OK sorry for the spelling for some of the hilltowns. Here's our plan. We're leaving Siena for Lucca by car. Along the way we thought of stopping the abovementioned towns. I'm wondering amongst the 3 which should we spend more time at? San G sounds like a tourist place which surprises me since it seemed so small and tucked away. How about the other two? they are sorta on the way as well. thanks!

I have wanted to write this Instructable for a long time but could not bear the thought of a photo of a roach. I found a plastic one; problem solved. I think you get the idea from that sentence that I am just a little bit, somewhat, sort of, come to think of it, mildly, TERRIFIED of roaches. This is the story of how I got rid of the roaches in my home and they have stayed gone for 10 months now after just the initial treatment.
Update: By the time I moved from this home described here, the roaches stayed gone for 6 years, I baited one more time inbetween. It is important to click the button right under the title that says '8 Steps' or you will think that this 'ible is only one step long - it is 8 steps long. Be sure to read all of the steps before asking questions. Other questions you might have, might be answered in the comment section. Which is not to say not to ask questions, please by all means do so if you need to.
Step 1: What you will need
Boric acid powder*
Karo syrup - you may substitute honey, maple syrup, pancake syrup or make a simple syrup of sugar and water.
Rice flour - you may substitute any flour you have on hand.
1 Popsicle stick
1 Mixing bowl
Amounts as follows:
2 parts Boric acid
1 part flour - any kind of flour is fine: white, whole wheat, rice, etc.
Enough Karo syrup, or what ever sweetener you choose, to make a peanut butter-ish consistency mixture
Important note: Boric acid powder is not something you want to inhale, get into your eyes or swallow so mix this up outside. Wear a dust mask until it is mixed up. It has no odor.
For a 2800 square foot home with 4 bathrooms, I mixed 2 cups of boric acid with 1 cup rice powder (any flour will do) and about 3/4 cup of Karo syrup. I used a plastic bowl to mix in and stuck the bowl and left over bait up into the attic/crawl space when I was done baiting. If you don't get finished baiting in one day put the bowl into the fridge, covered, and it will stay workable for another day or two.
*(Sometimes available in hardware stores in the US as "Roach Prufe" (this was the only way I was able to buy it, the canister is 98% boric acid and 2% blue coloring). Also, commenter ScottP6 says he was able to buy boric acid on Amazon for $7 for a pound. That is enough to share with neighbors and friends for years. Any boric acid that you find will be fine though, just make sure it is mostly boric acid.
Well I've made an account to share my excitement! The day I received my keys to my apartments I noticed there was roaches. I was so mad that I complained to the apartments, all they told me was they had pest control do a full cleaning so roaches might be coming out more & not to worry. So I waited two weeks to move my stuff into my apartment. I prayed that the pest control fixed the problem. Guess what! It DIDNT! no surprise huh. So I tried everything I bombed my place I set up traps I even bought boric acid and put it everywhere. Still didn't work. I had finally given up and it was time to move my stuff into the apartment.
So the night before the move I researched one more time to see if I could find the answer. I came across this post. Since I already had boric acid I thought well it's worth a try. I read the comments and made sure I did everything right I was determined to get rid of these nasty bugs! So I stayed up for four hours opening outlets and baiting everywhere and everything.
After I had moved in I realized there was still roaches I thought to my self well I gave it all I had. But a couple days had passed and I saw maybe 3 roaches in my entire place. Then I didn't see any! (well none alive they were dead). I tried not to get too excited as I thought this is too good to be true. But as the days passed i didn't see not one roach. I think I cried for joy for a week. This had actually worked! If you are reading this and you're at your breaking point I'm telling you THIS DOES WORK! But only if YOU DO IT RIGHT! I'm happy to say my place has been roach free for three months THANK YOU NINZERBEAN! for this post. Sorry for the long comment! Thank you again!
Dear Tasha, I know, I understand, I've been there - house into a home sort of thing. It's why, you are why, I wrote this Instructable. To turn houses into homes. I will be forever grateful for your comment.
First off let me start by saying thank you so so so much for sharing this! I finally have my sanity back after endless nights of sleep deprivation, and hugging a can of raid every night! (not literally, but yes always ready on my night stand). -- I apologize for the length of this--
My family and I moved into a home that my father owns and was previously rented out to filthy tenant. Of course, it was infested with huge flying American cockroaches. I cleaned every inch of the house literally on my hands and knees & repainted. I too am TERRIFIED of roaches, and can't count how many times I cried, squealed, jumped, and yelled for my husband every time I saw one. At times I would be brave enough to spray them myself, but they would charge towards me!! AHH, My husband finally got tired of all the crying and complaining & called a professional exterminator. He came and sprayed outside and the baseboards.
I would see some dead, but I would still see a lot alive, if not more than ever. I studied them one night sitting at the kitchen table around midnight and I noticed that one by one by one they came out from behind the kitchen cabinet where the sink goes. Long story shorter- there was a nest back there & a hole leading right outside. I took the entire cabinets to the dump & fixed the hole. ( I installed all new cabinets)
SO, this is where you come in! I did EVERYTHING you listed in the steps. I have gone through 4 cans of foam, and atleast 8 of silicone caulking. This house had so many gaps, and crevices! I spent countless days just sealing every room! In addition to this, I also bought new weatherstripping.... I strategically placed the boric acid paste in every room, every outlet, every door way. I didn't skip a single one.
After 2 or 3 days of putting the paste, I saw ONE live one... It's now been two weeks and I haven't seen one. Not even a dead one.
I'm just in denial.. Is this real? Are they really gone?!
What you posted here works! ....Don't take "shortcuts", & these steps do pay off.
Thank you for taking the time to write. Comments like yours make me so happy.
How's it going Ksco9425? It's been 4 days so you should be having good results by now.
There are two types of Great Stuff expanding foam. The one for outside windows will not expand too much but the other one will expand by over 50% while curing. There really is no space too large for it. After a curing you can trim it with a steak knife.
Thank you for this instructable. I have done everything here except the foam. I see that the landlord has done this except I see one hole under the sink. oddly enough, I never see roaches under the sink yet everywhere else. kitchen, bathroom, baseboards etc. how many days does it take to stop these suckers? Its been 5 days and I feel like I've been seeing more out than normal and not sure its working. I want to make another batch and try again...
Mnkyd29, I missed your comment so I apologize for the late reply. Seeing more roaches after baiting seems to be one an occasional occurrence from what I have read - they sort of get into a frenzy looking for a safe food source. This did not happen to me but I have read about it now a few times in the comment section.
After baiting, it takes only a day or two to see results - but in your case maybe there is a colony living inside that you must find and get rid of. There may be something you did not do in all the steps or did not do the whole house etc. Other than those suggestions I can only say that if you did a good job on the baiting you should not be having to do this again for years.
I think you might want to plug up that hole just to be safe.
Hi nordsteph, sorry for the late reply, I missed your comment somehow. So anyway, I think you should be on the look out - finding a roach in the power ranger gun is very strange, and it makes me think that there are more because why in the world would one be in there? Roaches have no bones so they have no problem fitting through and under the most impossibly small openings. I think it would be a good idea to bait your house ASAP before you end up with a real problem. I would also tell the manager, maybe they are coming from another apartment.... You can be super clean and still have roaches. They can live on anything, food wise I mean. I think there was an experiment in the 60's where a group stayed alive for 1 year on toenail clippings.
I was cleaning my house the other day, and found what I thought was a beatle. I thought nothing of it until today I went to use the flour, which was full of cockroaches. I got rid of the flour. But then I started searching the rest of my kitchen, under the stove, in drawers, behind the fridge, and just everywhere. There wasn't as many in those spots, as in the flour. I made the mixture above. How long do I have to wait for it to work? do I let my landlord know I have them? What else should I do? I got rid of all open bags of food of any kind. I just want them gone!
I was also wondering if you think that the flour was the nest area?
Hi Junietunes, I like your name. I don't think the flour was the nest area. The nest area is huge, it has to contain thousands of roaches. But I also think you have German roaches, usually they are small enough to fit into a bag of flour with their friends. They are much harder to get rid of. You might want to read a few hundred comments to get a better idea of what others have done about German roaches. Of check out online to see if you have regular American ones or Germans. One is much easier to deal with. As far as your question about the bait, it works right away. You should see results in a day or two. This will be evidenced by dead roaches lying about and not seeing any live ones that aren't quite sick. But you need to follow all of the steps - plug up holes, undo your light switch covers, it takes a long time to do a house throughly. Letting your landlord know seems like a good idea, but not if he or she is going to send in a big name commercial company that only gets rid of roaches for 90 days. They use bait and sprays that stop working after 90 days so you will have roaches returning, it makes you hire them again, and again.
I am moving into an older trailer. When I moved in the landlord said she saw a bug on the floor and her husband killed it. She couldn't tell me what kind of bug. She did fill all of the cabinets with boric acid. I've never had a roach problem and had no idea what boric acid was. So move in day and I found a dead roach in a bedroom. A weird place I thought. They called Orkin for me who said they would fog. He said he didn't see any roaches, but didn't think it was bad at all. He said the house was very clean. So I wait a day and come back to air out the trailer and I find about 9 dead roaches and a dead spider. gross! He pulled all of the drawers out and opened the cabinets. They are pretty gross in there. This is an old old trailer so there are many cracks and crevices. Some friends and I are going to come in on Friday and clean the place but I'd like to know there are no bugs before I move my things in. I found a similar recipe from a girl living in NYC. I am going to try your recipe and hopefully it will kill the roaches and we can clean and move in with no problem. The only thing I worry about is all the places they can get in. I might have to ask the landlord about the expandable foam insulation.
Will this method work on Water Roaches? We get these ugly nasty creatures in the summertime. I have seen then come up through the hole in the manhole cover in the street at night!!! EEEWWWWWWW!!!
mrkr, I obviously don't know, I obviously don't want to investigate - but you can, and please report back.
just two hints:
1. you can buy boric acid in dollar general store (this green stores), this is 100% boric acid. Be careful in other stores, where you can see 60% of acid and 40% of "something" (probably chalk or any other inactive thing)
2. when picking up the syrup, take the transparent non-colored one. This way the whole thing will be black and less noticeable on white elements.
I did find this at Dollar Tree. 100% boric acid.
hi. I have been battling the bugs for years. I bomb my house every few months and use bait stations. That usually helps. But this week I discovered so many roaches outside!!!! I lifted empty pots and almost died when I saw all the bugs. I threw everything out and clean out the yard and sprayed. I thought I was good, but just a while ago I found a few in our pool! GROSSS! Can I use this mixture outside? I don't see anyone commenting about outside use. HELP!!!
I forgot to add..my husband is an avid gardener. We live in south florida and we have lots of plants. I make him water in the morning so that by nightfall the grounds are dry.
We just moved into our new home. Built in 1886!! Yeah. It's a good one, but the previous tenants, (was previously a four-plex) were NASTY I mean Ga-Ross humans!! I have cleaned and cleaned and 45 bug bombs. It's a 3000+ sq home. Old pocket doors, lots of cracks I'm sure. Biggest area of concern is the kitchen. Gaps behind counters, range/oven, dishwasher, built in microwave, fridge, double sink, disposal... I will "bait" per your instructions and the expandable foam is on my list as well.
I have a 6/4 year old son... I have a food obsessed scavenging black lab AND an equally food obsessed beagle... How can I safely and effectively place the bait in lower areas (floor level) that the pups and minions won't go getting?
I'm in Northern Illinois and I'm pretty sure these are the infamous Nazi Roaches. I'm thinking a nuclear explosion wouldn't even scare these a-holes off. I don't like them, but I'm more concerned about food storage, contamination, etc. my children are like walking vending machines. :(
Up at 3am my first night in my new home, itching and googling ways to kill roaches...
Old houses are a problem that way and your whole family is going to have to pitch in - the human vending machines will have to be unplugged from their source of power - no eating any food anywhere but (fill in the blank). Period.
There area zillions of places to place the bait that the roaches will find that are out of site - especially behind the drawers in your kitchen but none of this will seem to make a dent until you can find out what appliance they are living in and have a vacuum, and some help, ready to suck those suckers out of your house.
Pocket doors lead right into the guts of a home, there is NOTHING between them and the inside of the walls so that is a great place for you to get as far inside of the walls as possible by placing the bait on top of the pocket doors. See my photos above, I had pocket doors too in my old house.
Knowing that you set off 45 foggers which did not work is very helpful to others reading these comments. That is a lot of foggers. I always think that is a good start when you have a big problem but obviously not.
Food storage can be solved by storing as much as possible in your freezer and ziplocks bags. Like flour and cereals can be stored in the freezer. You want to get rid of all the food sources in the house so the roaches will have to eat the bait, not that they won't want to anyway but it's just better if it is the only food. Oh, yes, get rid of all the cardboard boxes that food comes in and if you just moved in and have not unpacked all of your cardboard boxes from moving do so and get rid of them.
Because of all you have tried so far and there is still such a problem it may be beneficial to find a small (not a big name) professional outfit that will work with you to find the colony(s) and does not require you to sign any stupid contract. And then use my bait to keep them away or to kill any that may still be there after the professional has dealt with them.
Keep in touch to let us know how you are doing. Can you teach the human vending machines to vacuum in exchange for a roach free house? Vacuuming every day is going to be mandatory for a few weeks.
Hi Ninzerbean,
Not to jump on the bandwagon but I have to say I literally made this account just to thank you. I am TERRIFIED of Roaches, and for the past 4 years my family has had a big problem, however they only came out during the summer. This summer they are getting particularly restless, with me seeing about 10 small ones a day, and only one large one (today I saw two!), so I shudder at the thought of what lies in the walls. I am at wits end, so I decided to sit down and try to figure out what to do, (I sat down on my coffee table, because I can barely trust the couch to not be hiding one!) and found this on my computer. From what I've read in the comments this works miracles, so I wanted to thank you in advance! I eagerly await being able to go out to the store to get supplies for this, however, I would like to know what you think of just plain commercial roach bait.
So commercial roach bait, like a roach hotel, I like a lot! I would use them for sure (if I needed them). Sprays are good to keep around to squirt on a roach until you don't have any reason to use it. I have a can in the cupboard under the sink my self. But I only ever see a dead roach and usually like you say, only in the summer. So they must have been alive before they were dead. I've seen two dead ones this week and I think it's been a year since I've seen any.
I am all for commercial roach bait, but it won't last like my bait will, what I don't like are commercial pest control companies. There are some good ones out there for sure but not the big names in my experience. Unless you only want your bugs gone for a month.
My bait works, but you have to bait your WHOLE house, you can add a few hotels and keep a can of spray around of course. You might want to set off a fogger if you can't sit on the couch so you can knock them down to give yourself a good start. The comment section has a lot of good advice from other people.
Write again when you are roach-free.
Hi I made this a week ago and it still ok for me to apply. Will it still work. I place it in the fridge. I had applied some intially
thank you

The unions said the date and time of protest would be decided shortly. Air India pilots had gone on a 58-day long strike over career progression issue from May 7.
"It appears that the management is not serious about all the issues raised by us. The management intentionally, with a motive to create industrial unrest, has overlooked our legitimate rights and violating all the bilateral agreements," the Joint Action Forum of Unions, Associations, Guilds of Air India, said in a notice to all its members.
It said the management had "failed to clear" outstanding salary and and allowances and regularise these payments.
The Forum demanded that anomalies pointed out in regard to seniority, pay-scale and other issues, arising out of the HR integration of erstwhile Indian Airlines and Air India employees, should be rectified before implementing the recommendations of Dharmadhikari Committee on HR issues.
It also said that bilateral agreements should be entered into by the management with all the unions.
It claimed that talks over the decision to hive off Air India's engineering services and create a subsidiary on maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) had "failed".
The Forum comprises Executive Pilot's Union, Indian Pilots Guild, Air India Engineer's Association, Air India Officers Association, Air India Employees' Union, All India Service Engineers' Association, All India Cabin Crew Association and Air India Aircraft Engineers' Association.

If I use the portadroid and insert the updated oxygen rom, can I use the old data.img? Thanks, looks like alot of potential with this kit.
So, I tried this with Darkstone's build, which I love and used for a long time until the build kept giving me many FC's.
2 things: 1 - I couldn't find a META INF file in Darkstone's build. 2 - when I went to edit the startup txt, it already said ported_rom=desire
I can't get this build to boot up. The first time it did a quick reboot to WM. Now it just hangs on the screen with the small writing. Several battery pulls and the same result.
I have followed instructions to a T, as outlined above.
Also reformatted SD card and re-installed stock ROM prior to loading Android.
Any suggestions?
To quote darkstone himself in the first post of the above linked thread:
- 'The base rom is from AdamG's OxygeN Desire rom which has been modified by myself.'
I may be way off - I am not a hip techie like most of you - I am a 52 year old grandma who likes android on her HD2 and has been using android SD builds for quite awhile. I know how to follow instructions pretty well, which has taken me a long way here in the android world of HD2
I just can't figure out what I'm missing to get DS's SuperRAM build loaded with Portadroid.
ok, just to give one insight:
amazing, i still cant believe we can boot desire and hd2 nand roms directly..
so far:
very easy and fast installation, tried the recomended desire rom that is very light and it seems to have a good battery drain;
the kernel used is tytung_r10 that we already know, but this time bluetooth is working
wifi is working with adhoc connection, phone is working, camera and camcorder working, no FC´s, no slowdowns, so far so good, will make more tests tomorrow, have to sleep..
I had Darkstone's SuperRAM Froyo before. There isn't a meta-inf and system folders. There is only a system.ext2.
This Portadroid build is for porting Desire ROM and nand ROM. Both have meta-inf and system folders in their zip files.
So it's possible this will not work. Are you using a old data.img?
Edit: Just a thought
Since the contents in meta-inf and system folders are copied into the newly created system.ext2, maybe you can try placing the system.ext2 (that you have from darkstone's build) into the main folder itself (ie. Android) and not in the "root" folder. And also to delete the reboot file as well. The reboot file will cause the system to rebuild once the system.ext2 is created (it is not there originally) and gets deleted after that. If you keep trying to copy the whole thing into the directory everytime it fails, then, well, it gets rebooted always.

SG&A expenses increased by $1.0 million, or 12%, to $9.7 million for 2008, from $8.7 million for 2007. The increase was substantially due to a $0.7 million increase in severance expenses, a $0.4 million increase for consulting expenses related to market research, a $0.3 million increase in personnel expenses and $0.1 million increase in professional services, offset by a $0.5 million decrease in non-cash, stock-based compensation expenses. SG&A expenses for 2008 included non-cash, stock-based compensation expenses amounting to $0.9 million, compared to $1.4 million for 2007.
Revenue of $500,000 in 2008 represents a portion of a settlement payment from Theragenex, LLC. In May 2008, we settled a dispute with Theragenex arising out of its alleged breach of a license agreement and, in accordance with such settlement, Theragenex paid us $0.6 million. We recognized $0.5 million as revenue, and the remainder, $0.1 million, as other income.
Interest income and other income amounted to $0.7 million for 2008, compared to $2.2 million in 2007. The decrease in interest income and other income was primarily attributable to lower interest income based on lower invested balances, offset by $0.1 million received as part of the Theragenex settlement, which was recorded as other income.

"And all of the people saw the thunder" Exodus 20:15
The deep lessons of the Torah text are conveyed in the seemingly most insignificant details. Here we are — the verse following the revelation at Sinai — and there is a big mistake. You don't see thunder — you hear it.
This is not the only time that the Torah confuses its use of senses. At the momentous moment when Isaac blesses his son Jacob he comments: "See the smell of my son is like the smell of a field" (Genesis 27:27).
"The Israelites shall camp with each person near the banner having his paternal family's insignia" Numbers 2:2
We count what we value. We check it again and again to see how much we have, thereby showing how dear and precious it is to us. God counts us, His people, because He thereby shows how dear we are to Him. The Jewish people are counted a total of three times in the Torah.
"It shall be a jubilee for you: each of you shall return to his holding and each of you shall return to his family" Leviticus 25:11
The laws of the jubilee year were more than likely a glorious failure, probably never practised. Release of the land from hard labour, release of all debts, return of all landholdings to their original owner in the fiftieth year, especially immediately following the 49th, sabbatical, year — evidence is scant to prove it was ever followed.
"And you shall count for you from the morrow after the day of rest, from the day that you brought the sheaf of the waving; seven weeks shall they be complete" Leviticus 23:15
Does your Jewish living centre on fulfilling prescribed practices or seeking an ethical end? This ritual v ethical debate divides many of us today but, as two conflicting commentaries remind us, the argument is not new.
The main subject of Acharei-Mot is the instructions given to Aaron, the High Priest, concerning the Yom Kippur service. This is preceded by its opening verse which revisits the death by fire of Aaron's sons, Nadab and Abihu.
"The owner of the house shall come and tell the priest, saying, 'Something like a plague has appeared upon my house'" Leviticus 14:35
"I am the Lord who has brought you up from the land of Egypt to be your God. So you shall be holy, because I am holy" Leviticus 11:45
Dayan Isidor Grunfeld, in his book Dietary Laws, explained that the three strongest natural instincts in man are the impulses for food, sex and the pursuit of material wealth. The strongest of these three impulses is food; it is no coincidence that the first prohibition given to Adam and Eve was not to eat from the Tree of Knowledge.
On Shabbat of Chol Hamo'ed Pesach, the British Reform Movement has chosen a different reading from the above, which is taken from the Orthodox lectionary. I can understand why Reform has chosen Exodus 13, where the discussion of the festival is far more extensive. The more common traditional reading is barely concerned with Pesach at all. But how much more sublime is this reading, containing within it the oft-repeated description of God, known as the thirteen attributes of God.
"This is the law of the sin-offering; in the place where you slaughter the elevation-offering, you shall slaughter the sin-offering, before God — it is most holy" Leviticus 6:18
Sharing with a student the section of our Torah which challenges me most, I received an unexpected response: "This may be difficult, but surely the elaborate sections about animal sacrifices are much more complex." Indeed, the lengthy discussions of sacrifices that fill much of these weekly Torah portions are difficult to digest, but a closer look at one verse reveals a profound and eternal message.
"If a person will sin: if he accepted a demand for an oath, and he is a witness — either he saw or knew — if he does not testify, he shall bear his sin" Leviticus 5:1
The injunction in this week's parashah not to withhold testimony from a court of law serves to underline the responsibility that Jewish law places on the witness to a crime in maintaining the strictest standards of justice. Yet the Torah understands that the obligations of a witness are complex and can be fraught with difficulty.
