I was so pleased when I came upon the OrnamentShop. I have been buying Masters on Silk glass balls for 21 years. I buy one each year. A few years back I could not find them in any of the department stores. And to my surprise they were on your site. I also had to replace one for 1991, the new one was just like the one that got broke. Now as they are available I order it. I thank you so much for helping our family tradition keep going.

It's easy to get in the Shavuot spirit in Jerusalem with not only
learning and Torah but cheesecake wherever you turn and many excellent
dairy cafés and restaurants.1. Café KadoshCafé
Kadosh draws crowds all day long with its creative kosher dairy cuisine
and warm atmosphere. Kadosh, as it's known, offers a wide menu that
includes a selection of delicious fresh pasta dishes, fish, quiches,
lasagnes, salads, sandwiches, baked goods and desserts. What
makes it so good is that everything is made in-house, from the bread to
the pasta to the pastries. The family-run business was started in 1967
by Meir Kadosh, and is now run by his son, Itzik Kadosh, and wife. The
inside décor is classic European style, and the restaurant also offers
al fresco tables on the pavement outside.Address: 6 Shlomzion HaMalka StreetTelephone: (02) 625-4210Kosher Rabbinate 2. Agas ve TapuachIf
you're looking for an authentic Italian experience, then you shouldn't
miss out on Agas ve Tapuach (Pear and Apple in English; Pera e Mela in
Italian). The owner, Gionaton Ottolenghi, was an Italian opera singer
and not only hums as he oversees the kitchen, but is delighted at the
opportunity to sing to patrons. Everything is prepared fresh in
the kitchen using recipes that belong to the owner's grandparents. The
menu is varied and includes ravioli, pasta, pizza, polenta dishes, soups
and great desserts.Address: 6 Safra SquareTelephone: (02) 623-0280Kosher Mehadrin (OU)3. TopolinoThough
unassuming from the outside, Topolino is both charming and vibrant. As
for the food, Topolino gets its ingredients fresh from Mahane Yehuda
market on a daily basis and prepares everything on the spot. The
menu includes exotic southern Italian dishes such as pasta with fresh
sardines, chestnut gnocchi, artichoke ravioli, camembert baked with
garlic and honey, special pizzas and rich desserts. The small, intimate
space seems a lot bigger with the help of a carefully placed mirror and
provides just enough distance from the maddening traffic of Agrippas
Street to almost enjoy it.Address: 62 Agrippas StreetTelephone: (02) 622-3466Not Kosher Certified4. Bistro MimiLocated
just outside Mahane Yehuda Market, this small restaurant is run by Mimi
(Michal) Sinai, a genuine French pastry chef trained at the impressive
Lenotre school in Paris. Mimi serves the finest of everything including
salads, sandwiches, salty crepes, quiches and mouth-watering desserts. The
range of sweet crepes and Belgian waffles is fantastic, with fillings
such as butter and sugar, banana and chocolate, chestnut cream and
fruit. Or, indulge in the tarte tatin or Mont Blanc, which consists of
almond meringue with chestnut puree and whipped cream.Address: 4 HaEshkol StreetTelephone: 052-766-7910Kosher Rabbinate5. Shosh CaféShosh
Cafe in Old Katamon offers a great dairy menu with generous portions in
a stylish and inviting Jerusalem stone ambiance. The restaurant
recently relocated from Hashayarot Street to Halamed Hei Street, and
opened a second Shosh Café with a courtyard on peaceful Keren Kayemet
Street in Sha'arei Chesed. The menu includes delicious lasagnes,
breakfasts, salads (served with crusty bread) and pasta. Shosh Café
makes a fabulous place for a date, and has even featured in a date scene
on the Israeli sitcom, Srugim. Address: Halamed Hei Street, Old KatamonPhone: (02) 563-9999Kosher Rabbinate (Rechavia branch: Kosher Bedatz)iTravelJerusalem.com is a new online international travel portal

In the bottom of the third inning of last night's Braves-Nationals game, Bryce Harper jacked a solo home run into center field.
As the ball started to travel down the hill on the other side of the center field fence, several fans rushed towards the railing in an attempt to snag it before it was out of reach.
And just when all hope seemed lost, one determined young man sacrificed his body (and pride) by flipping over the railing and somewhat uncontrollably rolling down the hill to get the souvenir.
It sort of looks like all of this was unintentional, but I guess you can say he decided to…roll with it. Aha. Ahahaha. We have fun here at BuzzFeed dot com.

Thousands queue to see corpse of Padre Pio
Friday 25 April 2008
Twenty thousand pilgrims queued for hours for a glimpse of the body of St Pio of Pietrelcina, better known as Padre Pio, with a mask ordered from the company that supplies Madame Tussauds covering the skull.
The body of the most popular and controversial saint of modern times was put on public display yesterday, 40 years after his death, at the centre of his cult in San Giovanni Rotondo.
At a mass held in the town before the unveiling, Cardinal Jose Saraiva Martins, the head of the Vatican's sainthood office, said: "Today we venerate his body... Padre Pio is not only a corpse. Looking at his remains, we remember all the good that he has done." The bearded Capuchin friar was made a saint by Pope John Paul II in 2002 before one of the biggest crowds St Peter's has seen. He was hailed by millions around the world as a miracle worker, and the little southern Italian town where he lived and died became the focus of mass pilgrimage and has prospered greatly as a result.
He died in September 1968, aged 81. Last month, he was exhumed so the condition of the body could be ascertained before being consigned to its permanent home in a crypt under the town's vast modern church.
Officials who examined the corpse said it was in "fair condition", apart from the head, much of which had been reduced to bare bone. A team of medical scientists and biochemists has been working since then to restore the corpse to a presentable condition. The face has been covered with a wax mask commissioned from a company that supplies waxworks to Madame Tussauds.

GREENBURGH, N.Y. — With 2013 being the year of Greenburgh's 225th birthday, we're calling out all the history buffs who think they know Greenburgh.
Shown is the one of the former sites for Greenburgh Town Hall employees in the 1950s. Do you recognize it? It's at the northwest corner of West Hartsdale and Central Avenue. Throughout the years, the building has had various tenants, including Greenburgh town government — the building inspector and the Department of Public Works shared a small office on the second floor, according to the Greenburgh Bicentennial Commission's "Greenburgh: A Glimpse of Our Past."
For those who take pride in knowing their history, we have a trivia question: Where was the first Greenburgh Town Hall?
Hint: The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1994.
Post your answer in the comments below or on The Greenburgh Daily Voice's Facebook and Twitter pages.

Blog Watch: Judicial Training & Education Blog
We pride ourselves on bringing timely and knowledgeable information to our readers on a regular basis. Our readers include clients (both current, former, and potential), other defense attorneys, judges, and even prosecutors. We focus on DWI defense because that's the area of law we love most, and where the most interesting legal issues (and defenses) arise.
But criminal law is a broader area that just DWI defense, and today we're bringing up another blog worth checking out. Judge Alan Pendleton is a very well-respected judge out of the Tenth District, and one of the things that sets him apart from other judges is his very own Judicial Training and Education Blog. If you practice as a defense lawyer and have not seen this blog . . . you don't know what you've been missing. Of particular note are Judge Pendleton's numerous Judicial Training Updates, which provide both a cheat sheet and a roadmap to many procedures used by criminal defense attorneys on a regular basis. Here's one example of the difficult-to-master procedure for entering a Lothenbach "plea."
Why are we talking about someone else's blog? Well, The Expert Institute out of New York is putting together the "2015 Best Legal Blog Competition" and Judge Pendleton's own blog was invited by the Institute to participate in the "Education" category. This would be a good time for anyone who likes the Judicial Training and Education Blog to head on over to the Blog Contest Page and nominate a very worthy resource.
Here's what you need to do to nominate a blog:
1. Go to https://www.theexpertinstitute.com/blog-contest/ and scroll to the bottom of the page
2. Enter your name and email address
3. Enter the blog address (www.PendletonUpdates.com).
4. Select the blog category as "Education"
5. You can (and should) enter a short statement of why the blog deserves to be nominated. Here's a short description of the Judicial Training and Education Blog:
This blog is the official repository of the "Judicial Training Updates" which are designed to be short, concise, easy to read judicial tips that every judge and attorney should know. Many of the updates are designed for use "in court" by judges and attorneys as resource guides to ensure the making of a full and complete record. Many judges and attorneys bookmark the blog for easy access while in court. In addition, the blog also serves as a "one-stop" judicial resource library for judges, attorneys, and the general public.
If you've ever used one of Judge Pendleton's Judicial Updates, you know that his blog is certainly worth nominating. If you haven't . . .again, you don't know what you've been missing. Go fix that mistake as soon as possible.

The change would affect about 3,800 issuers, S&P said in a report today. About 65 percent of ratings may remain unchanged, while 3 percent could drop, typically by one level, under the plan, S&P said.
The new criteria would use the same framework as the company applies to local and regional governments outside the U.S., S&P said.
In 2010, Moody's Investors Service moved its U.S. municipal ratings to a global scale to grade munis similarly to issuers such as corporations. About 70,000 ratings were subject to that adjustment, according to a Moody's statement.

Have Hat-Cam, Will Travel Over the Calatrava Bridge (Plus Bonus Footage of Jim's Dogs)
They finally opened up the new Calatrava bridge to vehicular traffic today, so I jumped in my pickup and went down there to drive on it. As you know, there were many delays getting it open. The bridge connects the far northwest corner of downtown with West Dallas on the other side of the river.
I wore my hat-cam so I could share the experience with you loyal Unfaironians. Here's a little video I made out of it.
You will see at the beginning that I took some special precautions, just because I had done a lot of reporting on some of the construction problems with the bridge. Maybe I should have edited that out, after I found I found out I wasn't going to actually fall off the side of the thing like they were worried about for a while. But I'm not that good yet with Windows Moviemaker.
I have absolutely no idea why the stuff with my dogs is in there. I just had the hat cam turned on, and I didn't know how to turn it off.
So here we go! Bon voyage to us!

I was going to send the Vanilla Spa Bath...Gift Basket to my daughter who lives in Texas. Reading the reviews changed my mind.
pa bath gift basket to my daughter who lives in Texas
56 of 58 people found the following review helpful
Purchased for a gift, hassle to open and doesn't smell like anything in the water,
Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Spicy Warm Vanilla Spa Bath Body Bamboo Gift Basket (Gift Basket golden) (Health and Beauty)
This was purchased as a gift for my wife. The presentation was very nice. However, most of it was propped up with styrofoam and everything was excessively glued to it. The other day she had put on some of the lotion. It hardly had any scent going on and it was undetectable less than 10 minutes later. Tonight I ran a bath for my wife so she can have some time to a drink, relax, and I'm making dinner and looking after the 3 kids.
For a standard tub size I added the entire bag of bath scent crystals (it seems like a 1 time use only, there was hardly anything in the bag). There was no vanilla smell to the water, the room, or any indication that it was actually scented. I set aside two bath fizzers to be added. The directions only call for one, but to make up for the lack of scent I figure two might help. When I went in to check on my wife's drink, I noticed the water was clear so I asked if she added the fizzers or not. She said they did, and all they did was fizz from the ball like it was slowly leaking gasses-- nothing else. The effect was hardly noticeable but again, no scent.
Overall this has been a severe disappointment. Fortunately, she's more happy with the thought and plan around it.. but for the price it would be better to put it towards some bath salts. It's likely the body wash will be useless as well. Everything is made in China.
There were zero issues with the seller, shipment times, etc. The product itself is just not of the expected quality based on the description given.

The Golden Bridge / The Little Immigrants / Mary Janeway / Nation Builders / Whatever Happened to Mary Janeway?In the early years after Confederation in Canada, the rising nation needed workers that could take advantage of the abundant resources.

Trees, chimney, And wall blown down after strong winds in Kingston
Omar Oakes / / News
Heavy winds caused havoc last night after a wall, a chimney stack, and several trees were blown down.
Kingston Hill in Norbiton was closed at the junction with Queen's Road after a chimney collapsed.
Police and firefighters were called out to assess the damage but no injuries were reported.
Kingston police also closed off Woodbines Avenue, near Kingston University's Penrhyn Road campus, after a wall was blown down.
Several trees were also uprooted in Kingston upon Thames last night, one of which caused disruption to South West Trains services after it fell on the railway line near Kingston.

'Cars would stop and point at us': How twin sisters with 40G chests were bullied into having breast reduction surgery
When most women get a 'boob job', their breasts grow in size, but for twins Tanesha and Tiwan Sweet, going under the knife meant a long-overdue reduction.
The 42-year-old sisters from Long Branch, New Jersey, had been teased, and harassed and physically burdened on account of their size 40G assets.
But after finally discovering that health insurance would cover the cost of the procedure, they had them reduced to a size 38DD.
Transformed: Twins Tanesha and Tiwan Sweet were bullied and harassed until breast surgery reduced their chest size from 40G to 38DD
Tanesha spoke to ABC about the trauma of becoming an adult with a body that caused her crippling back pain not to mention emotional agony.
People, she said would stare at her and her sister when they went to the beach even despite the layers they wore in an attempt to cover up.
'We've even had cars stop, look and whisper while they're pointing at us,' she admitted.
'I always went to work wearing two bras and a sweat top, and I would never take it off, even if it was 90 degrees out,' she confessed following surgery that has left the two women feeling confident in public for the first time.
But older patients in the nursing home where she worked would still grope her, she said.
Before and after: Dr Ashinoff who operated on the twins says that many women with large breasts suffer physical and emotional trauma before opting for surgery
Both she and her sister Tiwan
resisted advice from friends and family about having the surgery,
believing it to be too expensive and not worth even considering.
But what they didn't know is that the $5-8,000 surgery is considered a medically justifiable for women who are physically and emotionally affected by the symptoms.
In fact, according to the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, breast reduction surgery was the 8th most common cosmetic procedure in 2011.
'I always went to work wearing two bras and a sweat top even if it was 90 degrees out'
Dr. Russell Ashinoff of The Plastic
Surgery Center who performed the reductions, removed about 2.5 to 3lbs
of fat from each breast; a difference that has changed their lives.
haven't had a back spasm since the surgery. I have had no pain at all,'
Tanesha revealed, adding with a chuckle, 'I can finally buy a size
extra-large shirt now, and I can also wear button-up shirts, which I
could never wear before.'
Dr Ashinoff is amazed that in this day and age, people can still be so insensitive towards women like Tanesha and Tiwan.
He told ABC: 'Women often come in with social complaints. People make fun of them, stare and there's outright sexual harassment, and it's hard to believe it's still happening in 2012.'
Besides the bullying and groping, there all kinds of other physical ramifications of having such a generous bust too, Dr Julius Few from Chicago explained.
The most unpleasant of these is a skin condition called intertrigo.
It's a rash that can occur between the breasts and the upper belly or in the crease under the breasts,' Dr Few expanded. 'It can get infected and form little ulcerations and things like that.'
Luckily, that isn't a problem the twins have to worry about any longer. Since the surgery, Tanesha says she hardly feels any discomfort.
'If you're having back pain and there's emotional pain, I would say to do it,' she urged anyone in her situation. 'I wish I would have done it sooner.'

About Town: Britannia Awards
Century City, Nov. 4
Tinseltown's finest came out Thursday for BAFTA's annual awards gala at the Hyatt Regency Century Plaza.
Comedian Stephen Fry was the evening's host, addressing the crowd as, "My lords, ladies, gentlemen, combined hangers-oners and media scum." But he was in for some stiff competition from several witty winners who took to the stage decked in Swarovski crystals.
Actress Betty White won the event's first Charlie Chaplin Britannia award for excellence in comedy.
"No matter what you have heard, Chuck Chaplin and I never had a relationship," she quipped. "Well, maybe once."
Michael Sheen received the Britannia Award for British artist of the year and also garnered the night's greatest laughs with a run of innuendos targeting regular collaborator Fry.
"I'm so happy that of all the people who could be hosting tonight, it is the man I had my first screen kiss with," he said. "I'm proud to be able to call him my friend and not just my lover."

"It is hardly surprising that there is a perception Peel has local governance if not local authorities themselves in its pocket"
Over just two months of last year, Salford City Council handed three different Peel Holdings companies almost £2million of public money. Yet those companies, ultimately controlled offshore, have no accountability.
Salford's experience of Peel is being mirrored in Liverpool, where the Peel `beast' is virtually running the region via its massive Liverpool and Wirral Waters projects. A new independent report from ExUrbe takes an in-depth look at Peel. And its critique and research is devastating
Full details here
"Peel is heavily reliant upon other people's money to fund its enormous ambitions" ExUrbe
In its last statement of public spending over £500, Salford City Council reveals that in just two months (November and December 2012) Peel Holdings was handed almost £2million of public money for projects that are totally obscure to anyone who didn't actually write the cheques.
In November 2012, there were two lots of £560 rent paid to Peel Media Ltd from the Council's Chief Executive's budget. Also paid to Peel Media was just over £45,000 for `service tenancies'. We can guess that these payments are related to rents for The Landing and The Greenhouse at MediaCityUK.
Meanwhile, also in November, Peel Investments (North) Ltd was paid £111,321 in `misc grants' for `capital expenditure'. We know it's something to do with Port Salford but that's about it.
In November and December, a company called Peel Investments (Intermediate) Ltd was paid a total of £1,744,320 in `misc grants' for `capital expenditure' - but for what purpose we have absolutely no idea.
A look at the last accounts for Peel Investments (Intermediate) Ltd reveals nothing about its activities, except that its `principal activities' are "property investment and development and the operation of a golf driving range".
During the year 2012, Peel Investments (Intermediate) Ltd had a turnover of only £654,000 and made an operating loss of over £7million. How and why, we'll never know because its ultimate holding company is Tokenhouse, which is registered offshore in the Isle of Man and controlled by the 1997 Billown Settlement Trust (John Whittaker's private family trust) of which there is no publicly available information.
Yet Salford Council is happy to hand this unaccountable, offshore company £1,744,320. Where are the ethics in that? This example is just the tip of the huge financial, political and moral iceberg that is Peel Holdings.
We in Salford have suffered the Peel Holdings democracy deficit for years (see a zillion Salford Star articles since day one) via MediaCityUK, Port Salford, Burgess Farm, the Barton Renewable Energy Plant, attempted Green Belt destruction in Irlam and Worsley, peat extraction on Barton Moss, issues around the Manchester Ship Canal and Chapel Street, the infamous `Dance With The Devil' tinkering with local elections, and more.
Now Liverpool is getting overwhelmed by the `beast' that is Peel Holdings, related to its massive £10 billion Liverpool Waters and Wirral Waters schemes. An independent Merseyside think tank, ExUrbe, has produced an expose of over 200 pages which pulls no punches. The report concludes, amongst other things
"It is hardly surprising that there is a perception Peel has local governance if not local authorities themselves in its pocket"
ExUrbe's researchers attempted to map Peel's companies but found "well in excess of 400 individually registered companies, potentially scores and even hundreds more"
"The lines of governance at Peel of responsibility and accountability - are nigh on impossible for the lay observer to trace" it adds "We attempted to map out the relationships between the Peel parent and subsidiary or satellite companies but gave up when we could physically fit no more information on the page. Only corporate, legal and financial experts could begin to make sense of the whole."
What the report did manage to decipher is that all Peel's companies, including Tokenhouse Investments (Guernsey) Limited and Peel Ports Holdings (Ci) Limited, which is based in the Cayman Islands, lead to Tokenhouse Limited, registered in the Isle of Man
"At the helm" states the report "sits a tax exile". John Whittaker. While Peel has reported assets of £18billion, the report questions the conglomerate's financial stability
"It is nigh on impossible to establish Peel's overall 'worth' or to make any meaningful sense of the way in which it operates financially" it states "That Peel holds valuable assets is a matter of public record. The conglomerate is essentially asset rich, cash poor, however, when it comes to having investment 'readies' to hand.
"For all the public and by extension, their democratically elected representatives are able to ascertain, Peel
could be an edifice built almost entirely upon 'virtual' finance."Indeed, the report states that Peel has "evolved into little more than a brand name for a multi-billion pound investment vehicle concerned first and foremost with cobbling finance deals together piecemeal from a bewildering array of sources, some of them distinctly questionable."
25% of Peel is owned by the Saudi-based Olayan Group, while it has a joint venture deal in Liverpool with a Chinese company, Sam Wa Investments and its distinctly shady President Stella Shiu
"given her reported seniority and influence, there is remarkably little information on record", states the report.
Meanwhile, Peel has been adept at getting millions upon millions of pounds of public money for its schemes, not least in Salford, where MediaCityUK and Port Salford are excruciating examples. Indeed, the report draws on much of the Salford Star's research to illustrate Peel's public money reliance in Salford, while adding that "its projects on Merseyside and elsewhere have received hundreds of millions of pounds worth of EU and UK public subsidy, both in cash and in kind. Little objective analysis has been undertaken to establish the added public value of those historic investments".
"In short" it explains "Peel is heavily reliant upon other people's money to fund its enormous ambitions."
Peel also wields enormous influence amongst public bodies entrusted with funding. In 2010 the Salford Star - watched by John Whittaker, Hazel Blears, John Merry and the Peel Holdings board - actually faced up the then Government Business Secretary Peter Mandelson about the revolving door between the North West Development Agency and Peel Holdings that led to huge public grants for MediaCityUK (see here).
"I'm absolutely delighted that that partnership is working so well here", he responded.
Now Liverpool is experiencing a `Groundhog Day' of the same process, with Peel's Robert Hough, formerly chairman of the North West Development Agency, now chair of the Liverpool City Region Local Enterprise Partnership and sat on Liverpool Mayor, Joe Anderson's 'inner' Mayoral Development Corporation board "the effective decision making structure to develop the Liverpool agenda".
The report notes that "Peel has a presence in every organisation and on every board of note across the city", adding "The power and influence of the conglomerate across the North West generally - and in the Liverpool City Region in particular has grown remarkably (and disproportionately) over the past few years. It now plays a quasi-political role in the sub-region, so entrenched has its role become in local governance. As a result, it arguably enjoys privileged access to funding streams
In another section the report concludes
"The conglomerate's activities have become semi-political, as the lines have blurred between public sector and private sector interests; indeed, public and private interests have been increasingly accepted as one and the same thing, which is patently not the case from a rational, objective viewpoint. What is good for Peel is not necessarily good for the Liverpool City Region populace and vice versa.
"Given all this, there is little doubt that The Peel Group - a privately owned and privately run concern with an off-shore power base - enjoys unprecedented levels of power and influence across the sub-region generally and in Liverpool, the 'core city', in particular" it adds "This runs counter, surely, to any ideal model of democratic governance?"
And the report goes even further
"By using its vast wealth, actual or perceived, to wield power and influence and by focusing upon key regeneration and infrastructure projects in often deprived areas - Peel is effectively (if not consciously) holding local and national government to ransom."
But do the schemes actually benefit anyone apart from Peel itself? The report uses MediaCityUK to cast doubt
"The MediaCityUK experience surely raises questions about the guiding principles of a private sector organisation that has been, in this instance at least, so willing to pursue a low-risk strategy by taking public money from several sources but so reluctant to return it to local residents - and prepared to deprive them of both opportunities and rights."
And in a devastating conclusion on Peel's `corporate mentality' the report lists the following traits
* An indifference to public opinion and a tokenistic approach to public consultation and due democratic process
* Contempt for local government
* A preparedness to enter into any potentially lucrative sector, regardless of experience
* A cavalier attitude to 'soft' (ie: non-commercial) concerns such as public and environmental health
* A similarly cavalier approach to local need and preference
* A readiness to exploit legal loopholes
* A dogged determination, in the face of opposition, to 'win'
* Corporate 'combativeness' Peel is prepared to fight its corner in the highest courts
* A preparedness to abandon 'sinking ship' projects if and when these prove to be unprofitable
In the Preface to the ExUrbe report, the chair of its Trustees, Peter Kilfoyle writes of Peel
"That dominance - with no real democratic accountability makes it necessary to throw a light on the practices, finances and record of Peel. Only with a transparent account of the organisation is it possible to properly assess and judge the nature of the beast to which the Liverpool City Region is now harnessed."
Salford has been harnessed, and is still well harnessed, to the Peel beast, with our elected representatives in the same bed as their Mersey colleagues. It's all very cosy. Until someone scratches the surface. God knows what is going on under the duvet.
