Hell hath no limits
We are not likely to be granted another world to plunder in compensation for our pillage of this one. Nor are we likely to believe much longer in our ability to outsmart, by means of science and technology, our economic stupidity. The hope that we can cure the ills of industrialism by the homeopathy of more technology seems at last to be losing status. We are, in short, coming under pressure to understand ourselves as limited creatures in a limited world.
— Wendell Berry
For the May 2008 issue of Harper's Magazine, Wendell Berry authored "Faustian Economics," in which he considered the impending oil shortage and our diminishing natural resources and reflected on limits, or the lack thereof, in America. Berry warned that Americans believe that we are endowed with the limitlessness of the gods, and that this can only lead to our downfall.
In Wendell Berry: Poet & Prophet, airing this weekend on Moyers & Company, journalist Bill Moyers profiles this influential writer, passionate advocate for the earth, and frequent contributor to Harper's:

Freddie Gray's relatives arrived for the trial in the afternoon, after the prep-school kids had left. By their dress, they seemed to have just gotten off work in the medical and clerical fields. The family did not appear at ease in the courtroom. They winced and dropped their heads as William Porter and his fellow officer Zachary Novak testified to opening the doors of their police van last April and finding Freddie paralyzed, unresponsive, with mucus pooling at his mouth and nose. Four women and one man mournfully listened as the officers described needing to get gloves before they could touch him.
The first of six Baltimore police officers to be brought before the court for their treatment of Freddie Gray, a black twenty-five-year-old whose death in their custody was the immediate cause of the city's uprising last spring, William Porter is young, black, and on trial. Here in this courtroom, in this city, in this nation, race and the future seem so intertwined as to be the same thing.

Una Foden and rugby hunk husband Ben treat pretty as a picture daughter Aoife Belle to a tasty chocolate cake as they celebrate her 2nd birthday
She's blessed with an adorable little girl and a hunky rugby player husband.
And The Saturdays' Una Foden looked the absolute picture of happiness as she celebrated baby daughter Aoife Belle's second birthday with her family on Thursday night.
The 32-year-old singer posted a cute snap on her Instagram page of she and husband Ben, 28, lavishing affection on their little one as she prepared to tuck into a giant chocolate cake.
Birthday girl: The Saturdays' Una Foden looked the absolute picture of happiness as she and husband Ben celebrated baby daughter Aoife Belle's second birthday on Thursday night
Looking pretty as a picture in an adorable baby blue birthday dress, which she oh so stylishly teamed with a matching bow in her hair, the tot seemed to be rather intrigued by the tasty creation in front of her eyes as she poked her finger into the sponge.
Posting the fun family photograph on both her Twitter and Instagram pages, Una wrote: 'My little Family X.'
And proud dad Ben, who plays for both the Northampton Saints and England rugby union sides, also made sure to treat his followers to a snap of his 'little beauty' on her special day.
Pretty as a picture: The tot looked adorable in a baby blue birthday dress, which she oh so stylishly teamed with a matching bow in her hair
Special day: The tot seemed to be rather intrigued by the tasty creation in front of her eyes as she poked her finger into the sponge
Alongside a shot of little Aoife in her princess-inspired outfit, he wrote: 'Birthday girl in her birthday dress! #littlebeauty.'
The couple welcomed their first child into the world on March 13, 2012, and later married in Una's native Ireland in June 2012.
And while they are a happy little family unit, the singer has insisted they won't be adding to their brood any time soon.
Speaking to MailOnline last year, she said: 'Aoife Belle won't be having any brothers or sisters anytime soon but I'd definitely love more in the future.'
Showered with gifts: The 32-year-old singer posted a snap on her Instagram page of a lovely mural and a personalised teddy bear, both bearing Aoife Belle's name and date of birth
Una has made no secret of her struggle to get back in shape, admitting she found it hard to tone up again after welcoming her daughter into the world.
Speaking to Women's Fitness magazine, she recently said: 'I'm aware I'm getting a bit older and after having a baby I have to work harder.
'My abs were the hardest part to tone after pregnancy. My tummy felt like jelly for a while and it's much more difficult to tone than it used to be. How you look is the last thing on your mind when you have a baby.'
Una's fellow The Saturdays bandmate, Rochelle Humes, has baby daughter Alaia-Mai, 10 months, with JLS star Marvin Humes, while Frankie Sandford has a baby son, Parker, five, moths with her footballer fiance, Wayne Bridge.

Cassandra Clark Theirl 02, executive director of J.P. Morgan Asset Management-Global Real Assets Cassandra Clark Theirl '02, executive director of J.P. Morgan Asset Management-Global Real Assets' Debt Capital Markets Group, helped Gareth Purdy '14 secure an internship this summer.
Holy Cross' Summer Internship Program (SIP) is highly competitive and provides exceptional Holy Cross sophomores and juniors with real-world work experience. The internships are developed through a dedicated network of Holy Cross alumni, parents, and friends, whose resourcefulness was recently put to a test.
At the end of the school year, Gareth Purdy '14, an economics and history double major from Kansas City, Mo., began the process of relocating from Missouri to New York City for his planned internship. Two days prior to his departure, the offer was rescinded as a result of an unexpected corporate merger. With his plans suddenly placed on hold, Purdy turned to SIP director, Pam Ahearn.
Upon receiving Purdy's call, Pam immediately issued an SOS email to the alumni network. Within minutes, two alumni offered to meet with Purdy to assess his interests and abilities. Within a matter of three business days — a Herculean feat — he had two interviews and two offers for the summer. "This is a perfect example of the dedication and commitment our alumni have toward Holy Cross," said Ahearn.
One of the offers came from Cassandra Clark Theirl '02, executive director of J.P. Morgan Asset Management-Global Real Assets' Debt Capital Markets Group. A former SIP participant herself, Theirl understood the importance of this experience to an undergraduate. The internship was her first exposure to the corporate world, where she learned the value of not waiting for opportunities to present themselves but to take the initiative and ask for work. "The internship was a very important step for me in getting to my full time job after graduation," she said.
Theirl was able to secure Purdy a spot at Global Real Assets. The position has provided him with experience in and exposure to a non-traditional side of the financial industry, one dealing with tangible assets such as real estate and infrastructure. He has been amazed by the willingness of staff to bring interns onboard with their projects.
"Rather than being seen as a liability, interns are seen as and treated like team members," said Purdy. The loyalty and generosity exhibited by alumni like Theirl has also taught Purdy the importance of networking. "Having people who truly want you to succeed makes the internship easier," he said. "Access to readily available guidance gives you the confidence to try anything new that comes your way."

Govt allowing trade union at factories
Senior Correspondent,
Published: 2013-04-22 13:03:26.0 BdST Updated: 2013-04-22 16:43:24.0 BdST
The government has moved to retain the generalised system of preference (GSP) facility in the US market by allowing workers at factories to form trade unions.
The approval was given on principle at the regular Cabinet meeting chaired by Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina.
He said that the law proposed inclusion of provisions to have collective bargaining agents (CBA) in large organisations and 'participatory committees' in the small ones.
"It was mandatory to submit a list of names of the trade unions to the owners in line with the current Act which caused many problems. But it won't need to be done after the Act is amended," Bhuiyan added.
If the new law is passed in Parliament, a worker in the job for more than 15 years at an organisation would get gratuity equal to one and a half months of salary every year. Currently, the workers get gratuity equal to one month's salary after they complete one year at the workplace.
The proposed Act also says that a factory with more than 5,000 workers must have a clinic with proper facilities to provide healthcare services to the workers. Alternative measures should also be kept if there are fewer numbers of workers.
The big buyers of Bangladeshi textile products have long been urging the readymade garment entrepreneurs to improve workplace environment and ensure the rights of the workers to form trade unions. The government was also under pressure to retain the duty-free access of Bangladeshi apparels to the US market.
The Cabinet Secretary said that the new law puts priority on personal safety and security of the workers providing specific directives about the building structure, safe stairs and exit, power connection and other utility services.
For garment workers, the law proposes separate rule to constitute a welfare fund under a panel or board. A separate board will be formed to this end, Cabinet Secretary Bhuiyan said.
The cases on a breach of the law will be heard at the Labour Court, District Magistrate's Court or Metropolitan Magistrate's Court.
The new law proposes six months of imprisonment and a maximum fine of Tk 25,000 for obstructing investigations into violation-related cases.

A Bardstown man has been arrested in the shooting of Michael Young of New Haven at the Dollar General store at Deatsville Tuesday morning.
The Nelson County Sheriff's Office arrested William Brandon Hall, 38, of 118 Andrea Court, at 12:15 p.m. Thursday at 210 Plaza Drive and charged him with first-degree assault and tampering with physical evidence.
The death of small towns is often illustrated by empty and boarded up businesses. Bardstown officials say this isn't the case, however, when it comes to vacancies downtown.
Jan Ballard has numerous roles as an executive assistant in the Bardstown-Nelson County Chamber of Commerce. She is the face of the chamber, greets and welcomes people to Bardstown, informs them of the chamber's duties and helps put together the chamber's many events.
"Every day is different," she said.
But on Wednesday, Ballard will set aside those responsibilities for the life of retirement.
Old Kentucky Home Middle School will begin the school year under new leadership, as the school's site-based decision making council voted Friday to select Jaime A. Smith as the school's new principal.
Smith comes to the district from LaRue County Public Schools.
Pastor Freddy Riggs of Faith Worship Center is seeking a seat on the Bardstown City Council to provide a different perspective, and to help bring people together.
"Being a minister, I think I offer a unique position," he said. "Most of the time, I have to deal with both sides of a situation and stay neutral in the middle, and then be able to bring the two together and bring healing … and a solution. And I think I'm good at that."
A local union official from Nelson County is a candidate for vice president of the International Brotherhood of Teamsters.
He's confident he can win as part of a slate that is challenging the son of Jimmy Hoffa for leadership of the 1.4 million-member union.
David Erickson has lived in Bardstown for about a year, but he is setting his sights on making a difference in his new hometown by running for Bardstown City Council.
Erickson, 55, filed to run for a council seat on May 19 and is one of 14 candidates who have filed so far for the six positions up for grabs in November.
Future solid waste coordinator hired
County Engineer Jim Lemieux will retire at the end of December and be succeeded by Brad Spalding, the engineer who heads the solid waste program and landfill operation.
During the Nelson County Fiscal Court meeting Tuesday, Spalding introduced his own successor, John Greenwell, who started work Monday for the county.
Greenwell, 32, of Bardstown, is a licensed professional engineer and a University of Kentucky graduate.
Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. once called the time of Sunday morning church services "the most segregated hour," but in Bardstown, five churches are coming together to offer an amusing learning experience for children that blurs those lines.
St. Monica and St. Thomas Catholic Churches, the Episcopal Church of the Ascension, First Presbyterian and St. John A.M.E. will offer a vacation Bible school, not only for children of those congregations, but also for any others who want to join.

Just like the discussion about a MARKER/ Surgical Pen, this one, which would seem obvious, is another example of what places one mohel in the "more responsible than another mohel" category.
To put it simply, in our times, would you EVER be comfortable with a medical practitioner not wearing medical gloves when doing any kind of procedure which involves your bleeding?
I didn't think so.
So why is it that for a bris, people are not careful to ascertain that the mohel is wearing gloves?
YES. There are many mohels who do not use gloves. And just about every excuse they employ for why they don't is really unacceptable.
Sterile gloves come in a box like this.
Inside the box you have individually packaged pairs of gloves that look like this when opened:
I have written about Gloves HERE and HERE. There really is no excuse not to use them. And parents have the responsibility to make sure their mohel does.
Noting the delivery of my last case of gloves - always exciting to get mail

Tools of the Trade VII - The MARKER
We've been through all the standard items that just about every mohel uses or should use. Now we get into the realm of what makes one mohel demonstrate his being more responsible than another mohel.
The only place which I'll leave open for debate is the Magen shield v. the MOGEN clamp. While I don't recommend the clamp (I don't own one and have never used one) for both safety reasons and halakhic reasons, if the operator using it knows what he is doing, I believe the bris is kosher at least b'dieved (not in the ideal sense, but nonetheless kosher).
HOWEVER, using a surgical pen to mark the edge of the foreskin is what truly makes a mohel a cut above (no pun intended) everyone else.
The foreskin, as everyone likely knows, is very malleable. It is designed to accommodate a significant amount of stretching. As such, when the mohel pulls on it to set it up for circumcision, he can no longer tell where the proper edge of the foreskin is, UNLESS IT HAS BEEN MARKED. Surgeons mark any incision they are going to make. Does a baby deserve any less care in the effort to give him an aesthetically-pleasing circumcision?
So this tool should be in every mohel's arsenal. And every mohel should take the extra minute or two to mark the foreskin, and he should be blessed to follow the mark when circumcising, so the baby can have not just a circumcision, but a nice-looking circumcision. As even as possible all around, with the proper amount of foreskin - not more, not less - being removed, per our sacred Mitzvah.

This is Actually Really Important
When I first saw this, and the notation that atheists will now be protected under a religious freedom act, I thought, "That's a funny joke."
But in reality, it suggests that no one can be persecuted for their beliefs, or their choice to not believe.
More importantly, it means that anti-circumcision people who persecute mohels can be prosecuted.
I'm all for it.

But in reality, it suggests that no one can be persecuted for their beliefs, or their choice to not believe.
More importantly, it means that anti-circumcision people who persecute mohels can be prosecuted.
I'm all for it.
Washington — A bill unanimously approved by the U.S. House of Representatives would extend religious protections to advocates of circumcision and ritual slaughter as well as atheists, addressing what its sponsors describe as an increase in religious persecution in recent years.
The bill, passed Monday, would broaden the definition of "violations of religious freedom" in the International Religious Freedom Act of 1998 to include the persecution of advocates of male circumcision or ritual animal slaughter. Atheists would become a new protected class.
The measure, which moves to the Senate for consideration, was named for retired Rep. Frank Wolf, R-Va., a longtime champion of human rights who authored the 1998 law.
"The world is experiencing an unprecedented crisis of international religious freedom, a crisis that continues to create millions of victims; a crisis that undermines liberty, prosperity and peace; a crisis that poses a direct challenge to the U.S. interests in the Middle East, Russia, China and sub-Saharan Africa and elsewhere," Rep. Chris Smith, R-N.J., who authored the bill, said in a statement.
There have been increasing calls in recent years in northern European countries for an end to circumcision and ritual slaughter, spurred in part by anti-Muslim hostility, U.S. government and European Jewish officials have said.
The bill's tier system for how well or poorly countries protect religious freedom would be similar to the one used in the annual State Department report on human trafficking. That report is influential, and countries seeking the good graces of the United States strive to improve their ranking by cracking down on the practice.
Smith is the chairman of the House subcommittee on human rights, and as a co-chairman of the Helsinki Committee, the congressional panel that monitors human rights overseas, has made the resurgence of anti-Semitism in Europe a focus.
Smith's office, announcing the passage of the bill, headlined the statement "Combating Persecution of Christians and Anti-Semitism," although many of its protections would extend in the current climate to moderate Sunni Muslims and non-Sunni Muslim sects in the Middle East, Afghanistan, Pakistan and Myanmar.
Rep. Anna Eshoo, D-Calif., the bill's lead Democratic sponsor, said in the same statement that the bill would "better address the religious freedom and violent extremism problems being experienced in the 21st century."
The bill integrates the 1998 law's protections into U.S. national security priorities, mandating that the ambassador at large for religious freedom – currently Rabbi David Saperstein, a veteran Reform movement leader — report directly to the secretary of state. It also adds new requirements for presidential reporting to Congress on religious freedom violations and training for diplomats in identifying violations of religious freedoms.

Tools of the Trade VI - Forceps
Of course there are different kinds of forceps! (Why are you thinking of these ?)
|This is not a bris instrument
These forceps (the ones I use) look more like large tweezers to most people - and that's what they are.
Some people might use it to grab skin they need to contend or deal with in the scheme of bandaging.
I use them as the sterile go-between from my hands, to pick up or move sterile instruments or
bandages when I'm setting things up before I've put gloves on.
Because a bris takes places in stages - prep, circumcision, checking baby afterwards - there is a lot of shifting between gloves and sterility to non-sterility. As a result, there are times when it is helpful to have an extension of the hand whose tip touches nothing but sterile items, while its handle comes in contact with a clean-but-not-sterile hand.

Tools of the Trade V - Hemostats and Scissors
|Straight Hemostat
So what are they for?
The straight hemostat is the key ingredient that allows for this form of bris to take place. Its job is to grab the foreskin and the membrane beneath it at the same time so the circumcision can take place in one-step.
|Blunt edged scissors
|Bent Hemostat
The bent hemostat and the blunt scissors are sometimes used, to remove the "tzitzin ha'm'akvin" - the extra membrane, or the inexact skin that may have resulted from the bris. This is not specifically the mohel's fault or the result of a job poorly-done, as much as it is just the circumstances and the reality. (Sometimes it might be the mohel's fault, but he is taking the opportunity to fix it in a manner that he can). Why blunt? So it doesn't poke or stab the baby - our goal is foreskin and membrane removal, nothing more.
Remember that the mohel's job is to produce an as-beautiful-as-possible circumcision. And he does not have the benefit of the privacy of the operating room to do that. This is why some cases produce the need for the two-step process, which is probably better presented as "making things pretty."
Simply put, these are primarily the back-up instruments the mohel carries in his bag-of-tricks, which come in handy sometimes or often.
Of course, there are mohels who will claim to never use them. They are either VERY expert mohels, or they are not sharing everything about themselves. :)

Tools of the trade IV - Probe
The Probe is used to separate the mucosal membrane from the glans before circumcision.
A quick anatomy lesson is in order - I will explain using a simple model.
Imagine you are wearing a cuffed shirt and a jacket. Pull both sleeves - of shirt AND jacket - over your fist. The fist = the glans of the penis, your shirt cuff = the mucosal membrane below the foreskin, your jacket over the shirt cuff = the foreskin. Now imagine your sleeve is attached to your fist through natural adhesions.
In a "kosher bris" circumcision, the goal is to get both the foreskin and membrane removed completely from the glans. This is why the term Or HaPriah (עור הפריעה) is used for the membrane - it is the "skin" (mucosal membrane really) that must be removed (after the foreskin is removed) in order to completely uncover (פרע) the glans.
Were we to only circumcise your jacket, the cuff of your sleeve would remain. Your fist would appear uncircumcised, and, in fact, your jacket might grow back.
This is why both the foreskin AND the membrane must be removed. The first step in achieving the goal of removing the membrane is breaking apart the adhesions that attach the membrane to the glans. This is accomplished with a probe.
The probe is inserted through the front of the foreskin and is moved around the outer edge of the glans (with care taken not to enter the meatus (the hole of the glans)) so the adhesions can be separated. this allows for the mohel to grab the foreskin and most (or all) of the membrane in one fell swoop.
Some old school mohels do not use a probe and they try to accomplish the same thing with their fingernails. They claim it is less painful to the baby to work mostly with fingers and less with "instruments."
I say, We all want to minimize discomfort to the baby. But we should also want to give the baby the best circumcision possible, while following the dictates of our law in using recognizably useful instruments. So whether a mohel uses a single-tipped or a double-tipped probe, it is an instrument which is helpful, important, and advisable to use to help that membrane be accessed easily.

Tools of the Trade III - Double Edged Knife
|Traditional Izmel - double-edged knife
|Modern Innovation - the Double-Edged Scalpel
Tehillim (Psalms 149)
|6Lofty praises of God in their throats and a double-edged sword in their hands,
|ורוֹמְמוֹת אֵל בִּגְרוֹנָם וְחֶרֶב פִּיפִיּוֹת בְּיָדָם
שולחן ערוך יורה דעה הלכות מילה סימן רסד: סעיף ב
בכל מלין, ואפילו בצור ובזכוכית ובכל דבר הכורת, חוץ מבקרומית של קנה, לפי שקסמים נתזים ממנו ויבא לידי כרות שפכה. יז] ומצוה מן המובחר למול בברזל, בין בסכין בין במספרים, ונהגו למול בסכין.
The Shulchan Arukh YD 264:2 says: We circumcise with anything: even a stone, glass, or anything that cuts. Except for a reed, because it has splinters with may cause damage [to an important tube]. It is an enhanced form of the mitzvah to do the circumcision with steel - whether with a knife or with scissors. But the custom is to use a knife.
The Midrash attaches the above verse from Tehillim to the concept of Bris Milah, suggesting that the knife that should be used should be like a double edged sword.
The problem with the more "traditional" knife is that it needs to be sharpened, and then sterilized. But the sterilization then makes the knife less sharp. So one is faced with the Catch-22 of wanting the knife to be as sharp as possible, and also wanting it to be sterile and still sharp.
As a result, the double edged scalpel was created in recent years, to maintain the Midrashic custom of a double edged sword, while at the same time allowing for a scalpel that is for one time use, that is sharpened in the best way (with a laser?) and sterilized.
Many mohels (including I) use a single-edged and single-use scalpel blade because it removes the need to sharpen or sterilize (scalpel blades come that way) and it allows for the swiftest (and hopefully least painful) circumcision. I have seen mohels use a back-and-forth motion (shudder!) while really all that is needed is a smoothe incision.
Could I look into getting the double-edged scalpel? I suppose. But it's not necessary. At most it is a (likely kabbalistic) stringency. The main mitzvah is to have the foreskin removed.
[I've joked in the past that the need to have a double-edged scalpel is good for the mohel who can't otherwise see, and is not sure which side is the sharp one. Of course if the mohel can't see....]

Tools of the Trade II - The Metzitzah Tube
Metzitzah - previously unknown outside of the insular world of bris milah, now a household word. What is it? Why is it done? Isn't it barbaric? Is it safe?
I've addressed all these questions - and several essays on the subject appear on the Metzitzah Page. There is also a youtube video linked there in which the two methods of metzitzah are demonstrated.
In this posting, we are going to understand what the tubes featured so beautifully in this picture I borrowed from these guys is for, and how it is used.
The goal of metzitzah is to draw "distant bloods" from the spot of the circumcision. While some accomplish this through squeezing the fresh circ with sterile gauze, the more traditional way to do metzitzah is with the power of the mouth. Metzitzah B'feh is often translated to mean "Suction with the mouth" and it is accomplished in one of two ways.
1. Putting the mouth directly on the wound (yes - you read correctly)
2. Putting a sterilized tube over the penis, creating a vacuum, and using the tube like a straw (goal is to draw blood out, not to get blood in mouth)
The bottom part of the photo is where the mohel puts his mouth. The top part of the photo is the part that fits easily over the baby's organ immediately post-foreskin-excision.
In my case, I put gauze in the tube to avoid any transfer of fluids between parties. It does not deter the vacuum power created when the tube is applied properly.
For traditional Jews who continue to practice metzitzah (much longer discussion for why - see Metzitzah page), this should be the preferred method over placing a mouth on a fresh wound, as putting a sterile tube on an open wound is no different than putting a sterile gauze pad on the fresh wound.
It removes any possibility for a "problem," and it brings honor to a practice that is a vestige from an ancient time, that, unlike circumcision which has a Biblical source and continues to be a hallmark of the Jewish people's identity, metzitzah has no Biblical basis, and need not take place at all for the circumcion to be kosher.

Tools of the Trade I - the Shield
What IS that thing?
I remember the first time I actually looked at the instruments the mohel lays out on the table, I saw that device and thought "O my God. It's an amputator!"
Of course, as I was probably around 9, I don't think I knew the word amputate yet, so this might be a little revisionist.
BUT - the truth is - that is NOT an amputator. It is actually the most important device a mohel could own. It is called a shield - in Hebrew, a "Magen" (מגן), and it's goal is to shield all the parts we don't want to cut from being nicked or otherwise by the scalpel/blade we use to excise the foreskin.
The parts we don't want to cut include the glans, the scrotum, the baby's belly, not to mention the sandak's hands.
When a traditional bris milah is performed, the foreskin is grabbed and drawn foreward, and this shield is applied in such a manner that the only thing on the outside is the foreskin, while below it is everything else. The mohel simply cuts along the shield, and the circumcision is complete.
The best way to know exactly where to apply that shield, because once foreskin is being drawn forward all the skin looks the same and can result in an uneven cut, or a taking off too much or too little cut, is to draw a line on the foreskin following the circumference of the highest point of the glans all around.
Once the line is drawn and the foreskin is drawn forward correctly, a simple (and correct) application of the shield along the surgical line will result in a beautiful circumcision, and a baby who is otherwise protected from anything beyond our stated goal of removing the foreskin.
Please note the Magen above is not to be confused with this device - called the MOGEN Clamp. I do not own a Mogen Clamp (more about clamps here) and I do not recommend its use. There are mohels who use it - hopefully with good care and with positive results. But Google "Mogen Clamp" before you allow any mohel to use it on your son.
|MOGEN Clamp
For fun - more pictures of magen shields. Note the differences in style, width of slit and whether there is a groove in the slit. And, of course, any ornamental components, such as gold, silver, or with engraving. :

Available, With Flexibility
A sizable percentage of my recent brisses have come to me by way of the Internet, often from people who found themselves, late in the game, without a mohel.
Usually I'll get a call the day the baby is born, or the day after, but I've been seeing a trend of people calling 1, 2, or 3 days before the bris.
Weird, I know.
Sometimes they "forgot" to arrange something.
Sometimes they just realized what a bris is.
Sometimes the mohel they hired cancelled on them.
Sometimes they were waiting to call because the baby had a medical condition that delayed the bris.
No matter the reason, from a Jewish perspective, the more on-time a baby can get his bris taken care of, the better it is. If we can make it work schedule-wise and parents have the flexibility to work within my availability at such later notice (and me with them too!) the role to bring these babies into the mark of the Covenant is a role I continue to cherish.
Even at late notice. :)

I love your service and will use you always. This was our second time using your service.
So convenient and excellent customer service!
Fruit was nice and fresh, all items intact and were stored in a refrigerator in our resorts bell storage area until we checked in. Items were packed within double bagging for protection. I had read of this service in the past, but this was our first time trying it. Having this service was fantastic and even though some items are a bit higher priced than a usual grocery, it still saved us money and the convenience was great! I will be using this service again in the future!!

Good 3.7 /5 from 1110 reviews
Came to town for a wedding. Folks at the desk very nice. Let me check in early. Lobby very neat and clean . Front looks like an old southern mansion. Older building. Looks like it has had several additions. Our room was around the corner down a ramp. Felt damp when I first went in it but seemed to go away after awhile. Only place I noticed that wasn't clean was the window. Breakfast needs some improvement.
Quiet, friendly hotel. We were there to go to Ky Kingdom and the location was only 10 minutes away. Staff was friendly, two nice pools plus spa. Southern plantation look, much more appealing than typical bland "chain hotel" look. My only complaint was the beds were a little stiff and you could feel the springs, a "pillow top" mattress would sure have been nice.
Overnight stay for function in town with my wife. Staff was friendly, breakfast was ok, room was clean.
Hotel needed renovation biggest problem was pet smell, it reeked even bed staff was friendly but I did not sleep well due to prior pets in room
I was only there long enough to take a shower, sleep and leave in the morning. The bed was not very comfortable. The continental breakfast was poor. Did not offer free wi-fi. The service was good. Staff was friendly. They have a nightclub attached to the hotel, but I did not check it out. The room was clean. It was an "average" stay, but the price was low. I got what I paid for.

The economist Friedrich Hayek (1899–1992) was one of the last century's most influential classical liberal writers and intellectuals. The winner of the 1974 Nobel Prize for economics, Hayek was born in Austria-Hungary but taught in London and Chicago. In his most famous book, The Road to Serfdom (1944), he argued that "planning leads to dictatorship" and that the "direction of economic activity" inevitably means the "suppression of freedom." Hayek proposed instead a different road—the road of individualism and classical liberalism. He disavowed the label conservative, preferring to emphasize his roots in classical liberal thought. The Road to Serfdom became a best-seller in America, reaching a wide readership through an abridged Reader's Digest version.
In the following essay, Hayek challenges the pretensions of central planners in both Communist countries and democracies. Central planning's goal is the perfect allocation of resources and goods. This presupposes that someone or a group of people possesses perfect information about everything and a complete understanding of what makes an allocation "perfect." But economists and planners fail to realize that this knowledge "is not given to anyone in its totality."
Hayek retraces this central mistake in part to the "erroneous transfer" of the methods of the natural sciences to the study of "social phenomena," like markets. Economics for Hayek cannot be reduced to "scientific knowledge" and statistics. It also includes "knowledge of the particular circumstance of time and place," in which "practically every individual has some advantage over all others because he possesses unique information." These arguments lead Hayek to support decentralization and free markets, rather than central planning and government by experts.
Even decentralization, however, requires that individual actors have the information relevant to their decisions. And they obtain this information not from a centralized administration, but only through the wonders of the price system. Hayek writes: "The whole acts as one market, not because any of its members survey the whole field, but because their limited individual fields of vision sufficiently overlap so that through many intermediaries the relevant information is communicated to all." With the price system and free markets, Hayek argues, we can have both prosperity and liberty.
Hayek's intellectual influence extends far beyond the field of economics, which he helped broaden considerably. Any discipline concerned with the problem of rational choice—economics, politics, psychology, philosophy—owes Hayek an enormous debt.
