JERUSALEM (WOMENSENEWS)--Lili (Alice) Kasticher, 21, was deported from Hungary to Auschwitz after being captured during World War II resistance operations and then was sent to a camp in the Sudentenland.
The Yugoslavian-born Kasticher was one of about 900 female prisoners there who worked assembling radio parts, light bulbs and weapons at a factory run by the Nazi regime. When the women were allowed time to tend to personal hygiene once every two weeks, Kasticher seized the opportunity to organize cultural activities, such as painting, poetry and story-writing contests. The 20 or so women who participated created a stage out of boxes, performed skits and conducted debates, made sculptures out of potatoes, set their poems to melodies and dreamed about their liberation.
"I had only one thing in mind, to encourage Jewish women there not to give up, not to be let down, not to be pessimistic and to endure," Kasticher once said. She survived the Holocaust--as did most of the women in her camp group--and emigrated to Israel in 1948, carrying her friends' drawings and poems that she had once concealed in her blouse.
Kasticher died in 1973 but her words and story are brought to new light by the Yad Vashem Holocaust memorial museum's multimedia exhibit that features about 50 women in a range of circumstances, some of whom did not survive the six-year atrocity. Berlin-born Regina Jonas, the first woman in history to be ordained as a liberal rabbi, for example, was deported to Auschwitz and murdered there.
"Each story of a woman in the Holocaust is unbelievable," said curator Yehudit Inbar, who spent two years preparing the exhibit with a team of researchers. "There are no dull stories."
"Spots of Light: To Be a Woman in the Holocaust" is the first international exhibit to focus exclusively on women in the Holocaust, museum officials say. It cost more than $500,000 to produce and will last about a year. It opened about a week before Holocaust Remembrance Day, which falls on April 15.
Many Women Could Not Escape
Because of their duty to care for children, parents and others, most women could not allow themselves to escape to the woods or fight the Nazis, said Inbar, who is named after a grandmother who perished in the death pits of Belarus. She says the exhibit demonstrates that contrary to some popular impressions, women were far from passive victims who went like sheep to their slaughter.
"Actually it's not only that they stayed, but they made their way to their death so meaningful, so human," said Inbar, who met with Women's eNews surrounded by a library of women's Holocaust literature created for the exhibit. "They were at their best from the aspect of humanity . . . This is more important than taking a gun, if you had, and shooting somebody."
Women living in the ghettos, Inbar said, worked in forced labor factories, sold food on the streets and did all they could to sustain their families. They took in orphans, built children's homes, opened public kitchens and took care of the elderly.
Before being deported to the camps, women made life-and-death decisions every day such as which child to take and which to leave behind, she said.
It is estimated that a little more than 3 million Jewish adult women, young women in their teens and young girls were murdered in the Holocaust, which claimed the lives of an estimated 6 million European Jews. Because Nazi ideology called for the annihilation of the Jewish race, women of child-bearing age were prioritized for extermination.
Feminine Themes, Worldly Artifacts
The exhibit explores themes such as love, motherhood, food, faith and femininity through personal accounts, diary and novel excerpts, photos, artwork, artifacts, video displays and emotional letters written to loved ones on the eves of the writers' deaths. Words and images are projected on the walls of a major exhibition room. Most of the photos of the women were taken before or shortly after the Holocaust in which the subjects "look like normal women," thus making the exhibit relevant to visitors, Inbar said.
The exhibit delves into the gender-related aspects of women's daily lives and actions--as they fall in love, bear children, cope with illness and care for elderly parents--not just their deaths, says Judy Baumel-Schwartz, the exhibit's historical advisor and chair of the Contemporary Jewry program at Bar Ilan University in Ramat Gan.
"This is important because primarily many--if not most--of the historians who dealt with the Holocaust up until the past 20 years did it from either a male perspective or a gender-neutral perspective," says Baumel-Schwartz. "In both cases, it historically denied them the role they had played in practice."
A woman's role during the Holocaust, she said, was to struggle for a semblance of family and community under impossible conditions.
One woman featured, Dita Kirshner, considered it important to record Jewish prayers because she believed that no Jew would survive the Holocaust. She stole stickers from ammunition boxes in the concentration camp where she was confined and used them as paper for recording, in Latin letters, the Hebrew prayers that she heard a nearby woman reciting. Kirshner survived the Holocaust; the woman she overheard did not.
Recipes and Scraps of Cloth
The museum displays personal artifacts that were produced secretly and at great personal risk, such as recipes of gefilte fish scrawled on photos of Hitler, lipstick used to disguise illness before the selection process that targeted the most sickly, a bra sewn together with scraps of cloth.
There is also a tiny comb made out of wire. "A woman needed it not to be pretty, or to comb her hair; because she didn't have hair," Inbar said. "But to reflect that she was a woman before and that she's still a woman."
Berthe Badehi, 75, of Jerusalem, said the exhibit stirred feelings of pride for her mother, Sabine Alzon, one of 10 female survivors interviewed as part of group in a video created for the exhibit by Israeli-born photographer and videographer Michal Rovner.
It's important to speak of women and their role during the war since they were the backbone of the family, Badehi says. Some women--such as her mother who fought in the underground resistance in France--were fighters and many tried to keep their families together any way they could.
When she was 9, Badehi's parents gave her over to a Catholic family in a small village in the Alps, where she lived for three years and survived. Both her parents also survived.
Badehi says her experience with survivors has shown her that women were unselfish during the Holocaust and that they tried to be strong for their husbands, for their children, for everyone. The strength and courage of these women is something Badehi, a volunteer at the museum, says the exhibit makes clear.
"Maybe I am a feminist, but I like to give women . . . their due," she said. "It's important to me."

Historical society investing $10M in its future
The project is part of a $10 million campaign that Dunlap estimates will take another two to three years to complete and could spur membership and attendance at the society's physical museum and library in Concord. Dunlap said the society has raised about $4.5 million for the project so far. The money has been used to purchase new equipment and software, hire new staff and develop a future online home for the collection.

Dress your little dynamo in this super-shaped filled costume!
Weekdays on Nick Jr.
Start by making the mask. Print and cut out the Geo Costume Templates. Please note the head portion of the mask template should be enlarged by 20 percent. You can enlarge on a copy machine. Trace the mask shape onto the cardboard piece and cut it out.
Trace the template pieces onto felt. Trace the outer mask template onto the royal blue felt; the swirl onto the light blue felt; the two mask toppers onto red felt, and the oval shape (for the inner portion of the mask) onto yellow felt.
Glue the red toppers to the cardboard mask. Next, attach the elastic string on either side of the opening, adjusting its length to fit your child's head.
Using the photo as a guide, glue the royal blue mask piece, yellow oval piece for the inner mask, and light blue stripe to the front of the cardboard mask. Set aside.
Next, make the clothing. Cut a 2-inch wide band from the orange felt large enough to go around your child's waist. Cut out the circle, square, and triangle for the belt using the templates. Glue them in place. Glue the belt to the bottom of the short sleeve T-shirt. Once dry, slip the short-sleeve T-shirt over the long-sleeve one.
Lastly, make the roller skates. (These are covers that slip over your child's actual shoes.) You may need to adjust their length as needed to fit your child's shoe. Trace the templates for all the boot pieces onto the royal blue, light blue, orange and yellow felt pieces.
Glue the two sides of the boots together along the edge of the front curved portion only, starting at the front base of the toe and stopping at the top. Add the sole and roller skate wheel pieces. For the back boot closure, apply 2 velcro closures. To put these on your child, slip over his shoes, then do up the closure in the back. Please note the bottom of the soles are open so your child is actually walking on his own shoe soles.

Course correction: Hope fades
Wednesday, Gov. Dannel P. Malloy used his State of the State address to put a positive spin on his tenure to date. Gov. Malloy spoke about how wonderful his policies are, but they are seriously flawed and in some cases, have already failed Connecticut.
"Recently, there's been a national conversation about economic development, about whether it makes any sense to have states competing against one another for jobs," the governor said. "We must compete for every single job."

Hertz executives moving into Naples
Published: Tuesday, October 8, 2013 at 1:00 a.m.
Last Modified: Monday, October 7, 2013 at 11:45 p.m.
NAPLES - Executives at car rental company Hertz are arriving at a new, temporary headquarters in Naples.
Hertz chairman and CEO Mark Frissora is among the company executives who have started work at temporary offices. Richard Broome, a company spokesman, told The Fort Myers News-Press that about 25 company employees are in a leased space in a bank building in North Naples.
Hertz plans to build a $68 million campus in Estero that is expected to be finished in 2015. Some employees have been working in Naples since August. Hertz plans to relocate 300 to 400 workers from New Jersey, Oklahoma and elsewhere to Estero. It plans to hire another 300 to 400 workers locally over the next two years.
A Hertz career fair in September drew about 2,350 applicants for jobs at the headquarters and Hertz retail locations.
"I know the first of those applicants are being called back now for interviews," Broome said.

Catherine O'Hara Discusses the Oscar Nominee 'Frankenweenie'
Disney's "Frankenweenie" picked up an Oscar nomination for Best Animated Feature yesterday, raising the possibility that director Tim Burton will finally take home a gold statuette.
The stop-motion animated film is a remake of his 1984 short film, about a young boy, Victor, who taps the forces of energy and science to resurrect his beloved dog, Sparky. "Frankenweenie" features the voices of Martin Short and Catherine O'Hara, and has just been released on Blu-ray and DVD.
The Blu-ray includes an original short, "Captain Sparky vs The Flying Saucers," also done in stop-motion animation, featuring Victor and Sparky's home movie. It also includes a tour of the London set and a look at the numerous artists who spent years making the film. There is also the added bonus of Burton's original live action short, "Frankenweenie," on which the film is based.
Speakeasy caught up with O'Hara recently to discuss the film. Read the interview below, and then watch a behind-the-scenes clip from the "Frankenweenie" DVD.
You play three characters in "Frankenweenie" – which was your favorite to play?
Mrs. Frankenstein was a lovely challenge [laughs] to be natural and real and loving as she is, and to capture the tone that Tim [Burton] was directing Marty [Short] and me to give in those scenes with Victor. I think those scenes are lovely. But I'd say probably Weird Girl was just fun. The whole reading of the poo is ridiculous and great. I love that she has no name, other than "Weird Girl," and she probably has no idea that's her name.
How much of Weird Girl's weirdness was your own interpretation of the lines?
It's all inspired by her look, her hair, the way she holds that creepy cat. Her monster eyes that match her cat's eyes [laughs]. And of course the reading of the poo. It instantly felt like oh, this is one of those classmates you just don't want to get cornered by. You don't want to be made partners on a project with this girl. The dialogue told me that she takes herself really seriously and I thought if she speaks quietly it might be the only way she can sneak up on someone, or else they bolt before she got near them. Someone like that has to sneak up on you. But then when you actually open your mouse, then you just hope the voice comes out the way you're thinking of it in your head.
What do you make of the "Frankenweenie" DVD?
The great thing about the DVD is that you do see footage of the real artists because I'm quite embarrassed yapping about this movie when I went in for a few sessions. Whereas there were all these amazing artists who worked on this for years, and you get to see them on the DVD, which is cool.
You've worked with Tim Burton since the beginning. How was the experience on this particular film?
He so loves stop-motion animation and wants to see it survive. It's very expensive and it takes years and you have to be someone like Tim who can gather hundreds of people who will be just as devoted to the work and commit that much time to it. He's also the same guy he was on "Beetlejuice" in terms of just being fun and funny. Real loose and collaborative and open and doesn't over-explain anything. The first session I went in, he showed some drawings and some storyboards, and we just started playing. There was no talk of "what I'm doing here," and "why I'm extending this to a feature." There was none of that. He just puts you in the right mood and gives you great concise notes.
How did he put you in the right mood?
Tim has those drawings that came from his mind. You look at that and can't help but be inspired. Especially with the "Frankenstein" scenes, Tim brought Marty and me in to work together. He had something very particular in mind, the tone that he wanted in those scenes, and I didn't know that. I like to think of myself as a pretty natural voice actor but I mean he really got us down to what, in the world of animation, felt like a whisper. Especially those scenes with Victor after he loses Sparky. In moments like that, he gives you more direction if you really need it. Other times he just lets you fly.
Did your sons watch "Frankenweenie"? Do they have their own pets?
They love it. I got away without pets so far. We have an 18-year-old and a 15-year-old. I'm too lazy and we travel a lot and [laughs] my husband is allergic to dogs and cats. I got away without having to deal with it. But they've had mice and lizards. They're very good at going outside and catching their own pets. Right now we have brown widows in their bedroom and centipedes. They've had scorpions. Yeah, it's crazy. Brown widows are fairly worse than black widows.
How has comedy adapted over the years?
I love Louie C.K. I love that show. When he's filthy, he is unbelievably filthy but at least it's creatively filthy. I don't mind a well-constructed, thoughtful filthy joke. You'd also think that slapstick and vaudeville humor would be gone, and then you see Marty on "Saturday Night Live" doing that ridiculous English character. He represented the Royal Family and he's talking to a gynecologist about how to deal with Kate Middleton's private parts. It was like the history of comedy in one scene, because it was also dirty in a modern way and edgy in a modern way. I think funny is funny and will never change. In the moment, whatever goes to the heart of darkness and light inside somebody and touches that and makes you full of laughter, that's timeless.

New Guns & Gear for 2013
Take a look at our annual selection of the latest shotguns, ammo and accessories for waterfowlers. By Gary Koehler.
Waterfowling Guns
1. Beretta Xplor A400 Action Counts Shots and More
Beretta recently announced the debut of the A400 Xplor Action, a semiautomatic shotgun now available in both 12- and 20-gauge designs. The Action is the first semiauto field shotgun to be equipped with an electronic device that counts fired shots. The GunPod component, which is housed in the pistol grip cap, performs other functions as well. These shotguns are lightweight and feature Beretta's Kick-Off recoil reducer, which uses two hydraulic dampeners. The receiver is copper-tinted. Chambered for 3-inch shotshells, the Action 12-gauge is available with a 26-, 28-, or 30-inch barrel. The 20-gauge model also has a 24-inch barrel option.
2. New Browning A5 Handles 3 1/2-inch Shells
Waterfowlers may well have seen this coming. Hot on the heels of last year's introduction of the new A5, Browning is now offering a magnum version of this popular autoloader chambered for 3 1/2-inch loads. The only shotgun to come with a 100,000-round or five-year warranty, the A5 now offers gunners an increased payload. This gun has all the standard features of Browning's redesigned A5—the humpback receiver, extra-long forcing cone, Invector-DS choke tube system, and Inflex II recoil pad. In addition, this 3 1/2-inch model is available in Mossy Oak's new Shadow Grass Blades camouflage pattern as well as black synthetic.
3. Chiappa Firearms Creates Rare Triple-Barrel Shotgun
If unique is what you seek, Chiappa Firearms has just the gun for you. The new Triple Crown three-barreled shotgun features a side-by-side configuration with a third barrel perched on top, providing a single sight plane. The Triple Crown is available in 12-gauge with 3-inch chambering and Rem-Choke choke tubes. This is a single-trigger shotgun; the barrels fire in a clockwise sequence with each pull of the trigger. The Triple Crown field model features 28-inch barrels and weighs in at 8 1/2 pounds.
4. CZ-USA 612 Wildfowl Magnum Has Rugged Design
Made specifically for duck, goose, and turkey hunting, CZ-USA's 612 Wildfowl Magnum is a sturdy 12-gauge chambered for 3 1/2-inch shells. This pump gun features a 26-inch vent-rib barrel and is adaptable for interchangeable choke tubes. Modified and extra-full chokes are provided with this package.
5. Mossberg Redesigns 835 Ulti-Mag and 535 ATS Waterfowl
Mossberg has been making firearms since 1919, so the company is hardly a stranger to duck hunters. This year, its 835 Ulti-Mag and 535 ATS waterfowl shotguns have been engineered with a special stock design incorporating Mathews Harmonic Damper technology. In addition, a redesigned thermoplastic recoil pad has been added to further soften recoil. The Mathews Damper is housed in the stock, which comes with interchangeable and raised combs.
6. Remington Introduces New Versa Max Sportsman
While offering the same performance features and autoloading system as the original Versa Max, Remington's new Sportsman version comes with fewer bells and whistles—and a lower price. Don't look for an adjustable comb, length-of-pull kit, or molded grips. The Sportsman doesn't have them. But like the premium model, it still handles all loads—from 2 3/4-inch trap loads to 3 1/2-inch magnums. The Sportsman features self-cleaning pistons, a rotating bolt head, the Versa Port operating system, and the multiport gas system. This gun is available with a 26- or 28-inch barrel in black, Mossy Oak, and Real Tree finishes. As a proud partner of Ducks Unlimited, Remington helps support DU's conservation efforts.
7. Stoeger Introduces Longfowler Double Guns
If you're a waterfowler who enjoys shooting a side-by-side or over/under, Stoeger has you covered. The company's Longfowler SxS is a 12-gauge side-by-side that features a single trigger, extractors, and 30-inch barrels. The Longfowler O/U has similar features, in an over/under design. Longfowlers feature matte-finished walnut stocks. The barrels are choked improved- cylinder and modified.
8. Weatherby PA-08 Pump Now Available in 20-Gauge
Smaller-framed shooters or those introducing youngsters to hunting may want to check out Weatherby's new 20-gauge pump-action shotgun. The PA-08 features a black synthetic-molded stock, chrome-lined barrel, and lengthened forcing cone. This shotgun is chambered for 3-inch ammunition and comes with improved-cylinder, modified, and full chokes.
9. Winchester Super X Pump Waterfowl Hunter Gets New Finish
Winchester's Super X Pump Waterfowl Hunter sports a fresh look with the addition of the Mossy Oak Shadow Grass Blades camouflage finish. The Super X Waterfowl Hunter 12-gauge is available with either a 3 1/2- or 3-inch chamber and with a 26- or 28-inch barrel. Other features include the Invector-Plus choke tube system, Truglo long-bead fiber-optic front sight, textured gripping surfaces, hard chrome chamber and bore, and crossbolt safety. As a proud partner of Ducks Unlimited, Winchester helps support DU's conservation efforts.
10. Benelli Offers M2 20-Gauge for Lefties
Southpaws seeking a lighter autoloader may want to take a look at Benelli's new M2 20-gauge Left Hander. This M2 is chambered for 3-inch loads and features a 26-inch barrel with interchangeable choke tubes in cylinder, improved-cylinder, modified, improved-modified, and full. The package includes shims that allow you to adjust both drop and cast. Youngsters and those of smaller stature will find this gun's 5.8-pound weight an attractive asset.
11. Charles Daly Introduces Left-Handed Semiautos and Pumps
Charles Daly is now offering a wide variety of shotguns built for lefties. The lineup includes the Model 600 and Model 635 Master-Mag semiautos and the Model 300 and Model 335 Master-Mag pumps. Receivers are lightweight aircraft-grade aluminum alloy and barrels are available in 26- and 28-inch dimensions. Stock options include black synthetic, camouflage, or walnut.
12. TriStar Viper G2 Takes Left Turn
Here's another one for the southpaws in the duck blind—TriStar's Viper G2 Left Hander. This shotgun is available in 12-gauge only and is chambered for 3-inch loads. The G2 features a 28-inch barrel, fiber-optic front sight, and improved-cylinder, modified, and full choke tubes. This shotgun is offered in black synthetic and Realtree MAX-4 camouflage.
1. Winchester Introduces New High Velocity Steel
Winchester's Blind Side ammo has gone high velocity with a new 12-gauge load available in 3- and 3 1/2-inch cartridges. The 3 1/2-inch shotshells are loaded with 1 3/8 ounces of BBs, 1s, 2s, or 6s. The 3-inch shotshells deliver 1 1/8 ounces of BBs, 2s, 3s, or 6s. These loads are rated at a blistering 1,675 fps.
2. Hevi-Shot Speed Ball Rounds Out Nontoxic Lineup
Environ-Metal continues to expand its roster, adding the high-velocity Speed Ball to its Hevi-Shot line.

The 3-inch loads carry 1 1/4 ounces of BBs, 1s, or 2s.

Christmas tree farming a labor of love
Published: Monday, December 3, 2012 at 8:28 a.m.
Last Modified: Monday, December 3, 2012 at 8:28 a.m.
LOUISVILLE, Ky. — These days the path that goes over the river and through the woods leads not to grandmother's house, but to a Christmas tree farm, where families can chose and cut their own trees in the weeks after Thanksgiving.
TLC for your Christmas tree
Charlie Brown had the right idea of getting a real tree for the play the "Peanuts" gang was preparing to stage in the television classic "A Charlie Brown Christmas." But it was Linus who saw that the pitiful Christmas tree his pal had chosen could be beautiful and proud with some attention and care.
Proper care
Any tree can turn droopy and dry and lose its freshness and fragrance if it doesn't have the proper care.
— Store the freshly cut tree outside or in an unheated garage — away from sun and wind — until it's ready to be decorated. If temperatures are above freezing, keep the base of the trunk in a pail of water.
— Before placing a cut tree in water, cut 1 to 2 inches from the trunk, exposing fresh wood that will allow the tree to take up water immediately. (Some experts say a one-fourth-inch cut will suffice.) However, if a tree that you just cut at a choose-and-cut tree farm is immediately placed inside your home, it probably won't need another cut.
— Once the tree is set up inside, keep the stand filled with water so the tree won't dry out. A tree can absorb a gallon or more of water during the first 24 hours after a cut is made, so a stand with a 1- or 2-gallon reservoir is best. If the cut surface is exposed to air for more than three to six hours, its ability to continue to draw water is diminished and a new cut would be beneficial.
Be safe
While live trees need care to maintain their freshness, they also need attention so that they don't pose safety hazards that include fire.
— Place the tree away from heat sources such as fireplaces, radiators and vents.
— Trim the tree with lights approved by Underwriters Laboratories. Check old lights for bare, broken or unsafe wiring. Throw out damaged sets.
— Keep a fire extinguisher nearby. Never use lighted candles as tree decorations. According to the National Christmas Tree Association, overloaded electric outlets and faulty wires are the most common causes of holiday fires in residences — not the trees.
— Support your tree so it won't fall. A wire can be tied from an upper branch to a window latch, for example.
— Don't put breakable ornaments or ornaments with detachable parts on lower branches where young children or pets can reach them.
— Turn off all tree lights before leaving the house or going to bed.
Pre-cut trees
While shopping for a cut tree may prove a bit easier than going out to cut your own tree, you should still pay attention to the tree you are buying. Many of the available trees were cut weeks ago, so you will need to check it for freshness. These suggestions come from the National Christmas Tree Association in Chesterfield, Mo.:
— Go to a lot that is well-lighted and that stores trees in a shaded area.
— Look for indications of dryness or deterioration: excessive needle loss, discolored foliage, musty odor or wrinkled bark.
— A fresh Scotch pine and a variety of firs should have a pleasant fragrance. Other species, such as the white pine, lack a noticeable fragrance.
— Perform a "freshness test." Grasp a branch between your thumb and forefinger and pull it toward you. If the tree is fresh, very few needles should come off. Shake or bounce the tree on its stump; an excessive number of green needles should not fall to the ground. (Some loss of interior brown needles is normal.)
For information, visit www.realchristmastrees.org.
And most of these trees have been in the making for nearly eight years.
Many tree farmers in this region say their current crop hasn't been particularly affected by the severe summer drought, though new trees were damaged.
"Anything that was established, it didn't hurt" said Greg Huber of Huber's Orchard & Winery in Floyd Knobs, Ind. "But pretty much all the trees we planted died, so we'll have to replant next year. And we'll plant more to compensate."
Many farmers gave similar upbeat sentiments about the crop that is ready to cut. However, several, including Dale Barker, president of the Kentucky chapter of the National Christmas Tree Association, said the drought still made it a "tough year" for farmers who planted seedlings for the crop that should be ready to cut in six to nine years.
"This year, getting the seedlings all watered was just a never-ending job," said Barker, who also owns Barker's Tree Farm in Lexington, Ky. He said the drought this past summer was the worst he's seen. "It's tough when you see your money drying up out there in the fields."
For most farmers, raising Christmas trees — be they white pines, blue spruces, Douglas firs or other varieties of conifers — is a labor of love that supplements their other activities and doesn't necessarily bring in profits.
At many farms, families and employees work to make a family's tree-cutting expedition a family holiday experience. They bake cookies, put hot chocolate and hot cider out for customers and often have gift shops featuring other foods and decorations such as wreaths, garlands and other finery for the season.
Huber is one of them. He added that fewer farmers are raising trees these days. "Twenty years ago there were nearly 100 places to cut trees. It's just not profitable," he said.
One farm that had a hard time this year is Woodcrest Farm in Bedford, Ind. Mike Cain owns the farm with his wife and grows blueberries and blackberries. They started growing Christmas trees in the late 1970s, but the weather patterns to the north of Louisville have hurt business.
"We've had drought for three years now," Cain said. "This summer was the third and most catastrophic. We've lost 11-footers this year that were worth a lot of money."
While the number of sellers has fallen off over the years, there is still a demand for real Christmas trees.
The National Christmas Tree Association's 2011 consumer survey shows that people purchased just under 31 million farm-grown trees nationwide, and sales in real trees for Christmas have remained relatively stable since 2005. Consumers participating in the poll purchased just under 31 million farm-grown Christmas trees and 9.5 million new plastic, artificial trees.
The 2005 survey showed that nearly 33 percent of respondents purchased real trees. Although that percentage dipped to 28 percent in 2008, it has since climbed to nearly 31 percent. The survey also indicated that the vast majority of the real Christmas trees purchased last year were pre-cut trees sold on lots and other venues.
But people have been increasingly hitting the roads to the country to cut their trees, with 31 percent of those who buy real trees going out to a farm, the survey showed. That's up from 29 percent in 2006.
One growing trend has become the bedrock for the Nieman Tree Farm's business in Lexington: the rising popularity of Fraser firs. That particular type of tree makes up nearly 95 percent of the farm's business.
Fraser firs are most often sold already cut after being harvested from farms in North Carolina. But owner Thomas J. Nieman said his farm began planting them in Kentucky in 1980, and for the past 20 years has worked at cultivating them. He said his farm's attention to the more than 1,000 trees planted this summer resulted in only losing about 20 of them because of the drought.
"Once people see the Fraser fir, they go 'Oh. Wow,' " said Nieman. "And that's it. They're absolutely beautiful."

OAKLAND -- You would think a franchise-record 59 wins at the All-Star break would buy a club more breathing room than the 1½-game edge the A's have as second-half play resumes Friday.
Welcome to the American League West, home of not just the winningest team in the Major Leagues in the A's, but the home of the second-best team in the Angels. And third-place Seattle seems to be the equal of any of the other dozen teams unmentioned.
Billy Beane wasn't kidding when the A's general manager said it would be presumptuous to consider Oakland's Fourth of July trade for starting pitchers Jeff Samardzija and Jason Hammel a deal designed to make the A's a better October team. Beane was looking down the muzzle of an Angels' winning streak that was only blunted at 19 wins in 23 games by the four-day All-Star break.
What would be presumptuous now would be to think the A's and Angels will stand pat in the two weeks leading to the July 31 trade deadline. If the Anaheim crew is going to catch Oakland, it will need another starting pitcher, with C.J. Wilson (ankle) on the disabled list and not having won since June 24.
The Angels have already dumped closer Ernesto Frieri in favor of Jason Grilli, and they have been linked to both Jonathan Papelbon and Huston Street as they look to shore up their bullpen.
During their hot streak the Angels pitchers have a 3.63 ERA. The A's played 22 times over the same stretch starting June 20. And while the A's were not as dominant, they still won about two-thirds of their games (14-8) and they did it with a pitching staff that had a 3.31 ERA over that stretch.
What will the A's do to counter-punch? They will be (and have been) looking for an upgrade at second base. Eric Sogard's defense hasn't been enough to counterbalance an offensive dropoff, and current member of the disabled list Alberto Callaspo's offense, while better, comes with a defensive cost. Nick Punto is the third man there, and he will get more time in the next two weeks.
The A's have been taking long looks at Jason Kipnis (Cleveland) and Ben Zobrist (Toronto), two second baseman who are available, scouts say. It's not at all clear that the Phillies would trade Chase Utley, or how steep the price would be if they did, But Oakland would have to be interested if they did.
The A's had a much more difficult road in getting to 59 wins than the Angels did in getting to 57, which is an inside-out way of saying Oakland has an easier path in terms of schedule the rest of the way. In the next two weeks, for example, Oakland has three games against a contender, the Orioles, then nine against the bottom of the AL West, Houston (40-56) and Texas (38-57). In the same span the Angels play three against the best third-place team in baseball, Seattle, and six against the Orioles (52-42) and four against the Tigers (53-38), both first-place teams.
The A's began the season with five consecutive three-city road trips, the last four of which stretched into the Eastern Time Zone.
``For the most part, these guys don't look too far past who we'll be playing today,'' manager Bob Melvin said. ``The one thing that everybody has noticed that the schedule gets better for us as far as the travel goes. We've had a lot of tough trips, the three-city trips, and we've gotten those out of the way. Hopefully that's a benefit for us.''
In making those three-city trips, the A's played most of the prime contenders on their docket. So Oakland is now sitting with what on paper is the softest schedule of any contender in either league: 67 games, of which 38 are against sub-.500 teams and 29 against teams with winning records. Of those games against sub-.500 teams, 28 or 41.7 percent are against teams eight games or more under .500 at the break.
Compare that to the Angels, who follow their crushing late-July schedule with four games against the NL West-leading Dodgers Aug. 4-7, then 17 games from Aug. 22 on against formidable Oakland and Seattle teams. In all, the Angels have 36 games against teams at .500 or better.
That being said, the A's can't count on the softer schedule do glide through to the playoffs.
``Right now, we're where we expected ourselves to be,'' All-Star closer Sean Doolittle said. ``We respect the job we still have to do. Are we the team to beat? We don't look at it like that. We believe in playing day-to-day. We know (the Angels) are coming hard. We just have to keep playing our game.''
The A's have been passed by the Angels as the top-scoring team in baseball, Oakland trailing 478-466. That's in part because of a home run skid on the A's and in part on running up against some monster pitching in the stretch of 17 consecutive games heading up to the All-Star break.
At the same time, the A's pitchers have allowed 68 fewer runs than the Angels. Scott Kazmir, Sonny Gray and Jesse Chavez all ranks in the top 12 in AL ERA, but the workload has been heavy, so even with the additions of Samardzija and Hammel, the A's will have Triple-A starters Tommy Milone and Drew Pomeranz on speed dial.
``We have to feel pretty good about where we're at,'' All-Star third baseman Josh Donaldson said. ``But there is a whole lot of work to do. I don't think you've necessarily seen our best baseball yet. This is a good group. Guys will step up.''
The A's could use the energy boost a healthy Josh Reddick (right knee) and Coco Crisp (neck) could give them in right and center, respectively. Both might be ready come Friday.
And a decision has to be made about one-time closer Jim Johnson, who is essentially the long man in the bullpen. Clearly the experiment of importing him from Baltimore to close has not worked, and it seems likely in the run-up to the trade deadline, he could be moved.
To start the second half, however, it's just about continuing to do what they've been doing.
``People can write about what they want to write about, they can talk about what they want to talk about, we just go out and play and try to win a particular game,'' Melvin said. ``Our division is good. Seattle is good. Anaheim has been unbelievable here recently.
``So we just simplify. We just play.''

Hitler's Role in the Persuection of the Jews by the Nazi Regime: Electronic Version, by Heinz Peter LongerichTable of Contents
|<< 13. Hitler's Participati...
|15. Hitler and the Mass ... >
|List of abbreviations >>
14.1The Madagascar plan had became obsolete by the Fall of 1940 because of the continuation of the war in the West. And the comprehensive deportation of the Jews in German-dominated areas into the Generalgouvernement had proved to be difficult for various reasons. Thus Hitler assigned the responsibility for deporting the Jews to the occupied Soviet areas to the Reichssicherheitshauptamt. This decision, which was made parallel to the preparations for "Barbarossa" (the code word for the military operations involved in the attack on the Soviet Union) around the end of 1940, beginning of 1941, can be reconstructed on the basis of a series of documents.
14.2On 21 January, the Gestapo's Jewish expert in Paris, Theodor Dannecker, noted the following in a paper prepared for Eichmann:123
According to the will of the Führer, the Jewish question should be carried to a final solution after the war within the German-controlled or dominated parts of Europe,. The chief of the Security Police and the SD (Heydrich, P.L.) has already received a mandate from the Führer - via the RF-SS (Himmler, P.L.) or through the Reichsmarschall (Göring, P.L.) to submit a proposal for a final solution project. On the basis of the wide experience of the departments of the CdS (Chief of the Security Police, P.L.) and SD in the treatment of the Jews and thanks to the lengthy preparations made in this domain, the most significant features of this project have been worked out. It is now in the hands of the Führer and the Reichsmarschall. It is clear that the execution involves an enormous amount of work and that it can only be successful if the greatest care is taken in its preparation. This must be be based upon a comprehensive deportation of the Jews as well as upon the planning of a settlement action prepared to the smallest detail to take place in a territory which has not yet been decided upon.
14.3In addition we learn from a statement to the Propaganda Ministry submitted on 20 March 1941 by Eichmann, who was head of the department in the Reichssicherheitshauptamt responsible for "evacuations" (Räumungsangelegenheiten) as of December, 1939, that "Pg. Heydrich, who was commissioned with the final evacuation of Jews, had presented the Führer with a proposal 8 to 10 weeks earlier which had not been implemented for the sole reason that the Generalgouvernement was not at that point in a position to accept a single Jew or Pole from the old Reich".124
14.4If we piece these various bits of information together, it becomes clear that sometime before January 1941, Heydrich -through Hitler and via Himmler and Göring - had received a commission to prepare a first draft for a "final solution project" "after the War" for all Jews in a yet to be decided territory. This plan was ready in January, but because of the situation in the Generalgouvernement it was not implementable. For on 15 March the deportations to the Generalgouvernement were stopped due to the transport situation in view of the military preparations for the attack on Russia.
14.5Apparently completely unimpressed by the blockade on deportations which had been imposed two days earlier, those who gathered at Hitler`s midday dinner table on 17 March conversed about further deportation programs, as Goebbels described it almost euphorically in his diary:125
"Vienna will soon be totally free of Jews. And now it is Berlin's turn. I discuss this with the Führer and with Dr.Franck (sic!). He hires the Jews to work and they are also obedient. Later they must leave Europe entirely."
14.6Frank, in the meantime once again in the Generalgouvernement, also expressed himself on the issue of Hitler's further plans in regard to the persecution of the Jews. Thus the minutes to a meeting of 25 March, read as follows:
SS-Ogruf (Obergruppenführer, P.L.) Krüger announced the provisional stoppage of the resettlement of Poles and Jews in the Generalgouvernement. Frank states that the Führer had told him that the Generalgouvernement would be the first area made free of Jews."126
14.7From these statements by Frank and Goebbels we thus can conclude two things: first of all, the Generalgouvernement was not the final destination for the intended "evacuation of the Jews" because it was supposed to be made "free of Jews" and the Jews were supposed to "leave Europe altogether". Secondly, the assurance which Hitler made to Goebbels and Frank that their respective areas of domination were to be made "free of Jews" could only be realised over the long- term. This is because he gave this promise at a moment when the deportations had in fact been stopped; what Hitler's timetable for a "Germanisation" of the Generalgouvernement really was can be deduced from another statement by Frank, made on the same day: "The Führer is decided to make this area (i.g. the Generalgouvernement, P.L.) a purely German country in the course of the next 15 to 20 years."127 Shortly thereafter, Frank went on to occupy himself with the planning for the Warsaw Ghetto, which would provide the basis for at least a medium-term existence for the Jewish "residential district" in Warsaw.128 Also Goebbels` diary entry for 22 March 1941 shows that the Propaganda Minister had in the meantime understood that the "evacuation" from Berlin could only be implemented over a longer period of time; "The Jews can not be evacuated out of Berlin since 30,000 work in the armaments industry there."129
14.8In fact, by March 1941, at the very latest, the Nazi leadership was clearly aware of what was the destination planned for the Jews who were to be expelled over the long- range period "out of all of Europe" really was to be: They were to be deported to the newly conquered Eastern territories after the war against the Soviet Union for which Hitler had concretely begun preparations as early as the last months of 1940.130
14.9More evidence for this intention is supplied by a memo by Heydrich from 26 March 1941 concerning a discussion with Göring:
In relation to the solution of the Jewish question, I reported briefly to the Reichsmarschall and showed him my draft which he accepted with one alteration regarding Rosenberg`s jurisdiction and ordered me to resubmit it.131
14.10By "Rosenberg's jurisdiction" was meant the latter's designated role as chief of an authority that was to administer the eastern occupied territories - what was later to become the Ministry of the East. Herewith it is clear that the planned "solution of the Jewish question" was to take place in the soon to-be-occupied areas of the Soviet Union. The renewed submission of the draft was to take place on 31 July 1941, when Göring entrusted Heydrich with the responsibility of "preparations in organisational, technical and material aspects for the complete solution to the Jewish question in the German area of influence in Europe",132 and stated that the "jurisdiction of other central authorities" should be taken into consideration; this was a general formula to solve the problem of Rosenberg's jurisdiction.
14.11What those involved in the phase of preparation of "Barbarossa" understood by the term "final solution" within the to-be-conquered Soviet Union is not clear. Before the beginning of Barbarossa, the German attack upon the Soviet Union, there had been no preparations made - not for a reservation nor for mass murder. Just as in the case of the plan for a reservation in Poland and in the case of a Madagascar plan, in the case of a deportation to the Soviet Union the European Jews would have found a situation in which the basic conditions for human existence were impossible - particularly since the essence of German policy was to systematically starve the Soviet population.133 Mass death would have been the consequence.
14.12For the months before "Barbarossa" a series of concrete indications proves that Hitler, in particular, had declared himself in favour of such a comprehensive deportation "to the East": Frank explained to Goebbels directly before the beginning of the attack on the Soviet Union that he was preparing for the banishment of the Jews (Abschiebung), as reported in the Goebbels diaries:134
Dr. Franck (sic!) tells about the Generalgouvernement. There they are already pleased to be able to banish the Jews. Jewry in Poland is gradually decaying. A justified punishment for having incited the people and instigated war. The Führer has also prophesied this to the Jews.
14.13From statements which he made a few weeks later, it becomes clear where Frank got his certainty: to his staff he explained that there would be no further ghetto construction in the Generalgouvernement; according to a pledge which Hitler had made to him on 19 June, the Jews would be removed in the foreseeable future from the Generalgouvernement, which would then be made into a "transit camp" (Durchgangslager).135
14.14A further source is a complaint from the Romanian Head of State, Antonescu, to Hitler on 16 August 1941: Antonescu complained that Bessarabian Jews who had been expelled from their homes by Romanian troops and had been forced further to the east, to Ukraine, were now being pushed back from there by the Wehrmacht. This practice, according to Antonescu, stood in opposition to "the guidelines laid down to him by the Führer in Munich regarding the treatment of Eastern Jews".136 Antonescu was instructed, according to this source, that the Jews of Eastern Europe were going to be deported to the conquered Soviet areas - which is what his troops did right away - without waiting for the end of the war - as Hitler had intended.
14.15As a conclusion to this section, we can state that Hitler was well aware of the plans of the Reichssicherheitshauptamt for the deportation of the Jews in the to-be-conquered Soviet Union.
121. Wie mir Reichsleiter Bormann mitteilt, hat der Führer auf einen von ihnen erstatteten Bericht entschieden, daß die in dem Reichsgau Wien noch wohnhaften 60.000 Juden beschleunigt, also noch während des Krieges, wegen der in Wien herrschenden Wohnungsnot ins Generalgouvernement abgeschoben werden sollen.'

Es liegt dem Führer und dem Reichsmarschall vor. Fest steht, daß es sich bei der Ausführung um eine Riesenarbeit handelt, deren Erfolg nur durch sorgfältigste Vorbereitungen gewährleistet werden kann. Diese müssen sich sowohl auf die einer Gesamtabschiebung der Juden vorausgehenden Arbeiten als auch auf die Planung einer bis ins einzelne festgelegten Ansiedlungsaktion in dem noch zu bestimmenden Territorium erstrecken.'

124. 'daß Pg.

125. 'Wien wird nun bald ganz judenrein sein. Und jetzt soll Berlin an die Reihe kommen. Ich spreche das schon mit dem Führer und Dr. Franck (sic !) ab.

It's been a while since I've been sick, so this virus is seriously kicking my ass. You know you're sick when you've been in bed by 9 three nights in a row. You also know you're sick when your boyfriend's cd came out and you haven't listened to a single song. Tomorrow, Mr. Rock gets my full attention even if nothing else does.

Sitcom rerun factory TV Land will go dark during the series finale of Friends. As a further tribute to the comedy juggernaut, the channel will preempt their regular, rerun programming to play reruns of long-cancelled shows featuring the Friends cast, like the short-lived Ferris Bueller adaptation that starred Jennifer Aniston in the Jennifer Grey role, before either of them had undergone thousands of dollars in plastic surgery.
The Matthew Perry installment will be from Who's The Boss?, rather than his eerily-prescient Growing Pains turn as Carol Seaver's alcoholic boyfriend who gets shitfaced and smashes up his car.

Late rocker's songs help power 'Romeo and Juliet' adaptation
See a video of Jeff Buckley performing "Hallelujah."
Two distinct stories of passion, yearning and young lives cut short will dovetail in rock-driven fashion at the Old Globe Theatre this fall, as the theater opens its season with the new musical "The Last Goodbye."
The just-announced show is an adaptation of Shakespeare's tragedy "Romeo and Juliet," set to the songs of Jeff Buckley, the singer-songwriter who has become a major cult figure since his death at age 30 in 1997.
"The Last Goodbye," conceived and adapted by Michael Kimmel, will be directed for the Globe by Alex Timbers, whose flair for the unpredictable and adventurous (in shows from "Bloody Bloody Andrew Jackson" to the La Jolla Playhouse-bred "Peter and the Starcatcher") has made him one of the most sought-after young directors in American theater.
The production will run at the Globe Sept. 20 to Nov. 3, with an official opening Oct. 6.
The Tony Award-nominated Timbers' most recent project (the David Byrne-scored musical "Here Lies Love," about Imelda Marcos) is now going up at New York's Public Theater — where Globe artistic chief Barry Edelstein was until recently the chief of Shakespeare programming. That connection helps explain how "The Last Goodbye" landed at the Globe, as a replacement for the previously announced musical "The Honeymooners," which has been shelved indefinitely.
Edelstein had seen the work's 2010 world premiere at the Williamstown Theatre Festival in Massachusetts, in a different version directed by Kimmel himself. When it became a candidate for the Globe after "The Honeymooners" dropped out, Edelstein began discussing the piece with Timbers, whom he calls "a once-in-a-generation talent."
The piece, which keeps "Romeo and Juliet" in its original period, also stays with Shakespeare's essential storyline, although in a heavily redacted form, with Buckley's songs woven into the narrative.
Buckley first gained notice in the early 1990s with his deeply emotional, sometimes haunting music. His 1994 album, "Grace," landed on numerous "best of" lists, and his affecting, soulful cover of Leonard Cohen's "Hallejulah" (which will be part of "The Last Goodbye") has become a classic. The musical takes its name from another song on the album.
In 1997, after years of touring and performing, the singer-songwriter was working on material for an album when he drowned during a late-night swim in a Mississippi River channel in Memphis. The death was ruled an accident.
Fascination for his life and music has grown immensely; a movie focused on Buckley premieres at New York's Tribeca Film Festival this month, and there's also a book out tracing the evolution of "Hallelujah."
Tickets for "The Last Goodbye" are available only by season subscription at the moment.
