Reviews: Google Maps 2.0
The refreshed version of Google Maps has finally reached Apple's app store a week after hitting Android's shelves.
The well-recorded highlights: speed, more local information and discovery — think eat, shop, play, sleep — smarter data on traffic, and so on. One noted drawback: real-time rerouting for traffic snags isn't available on iOS (yet).
Most tech coverage so far has been bullet-listing the feature set. But the opinions are seeping out (some were already out after the Android update).
Here is a roundup of who is saying what about Google Maps 2.0. We'll keep adding to it as more reviews are published. If you see a good one, send me a link at @bryfitz.
On to the reviews:
Katherine Boehret, The Wall Street Journal
As I tested an early version of the Google Maps app on Android and Apple's iOS operating system, its striking visual images drew me in. I found there are some real brains behind this beauty, in particular, its Explore feature, which helps you discover spots near to your destination you may not have known about. In fact, it's designed more for use when you have a few minutes to dig into reviews. I can see myself using this app even when I'm not just getting directions.
One feature that won't work on iOS is the rerouting of a trip as you go. Though iOS users will be able to see traffic incidents on their upcoming route, they won't be able to tap a button for an alternate route to avoid traffic. A spokesman for Google said this will be coming to iOS soon.
Google Maps is richer and more engaging than its predecessor. Its content is enough to suck you in so much that it might make you arrive late at your destination, so be sure to add a few minutes to your estimated trip time.
David Pogue, New York Times (published July 10)
For Androidians, the biggest news is the design of the app itself. It's modeled on the iPhone app, the one that's simple and fast and elegant. It's also uncluttered by the morass of menus that have always plagued the existing Maps app for Android.
Pogue recounted the history of Google-Apple maps spat and then mostly drilled through the laundry list of upgrades. He (and others) also mentioned a cool Easter egg worth singling out:
Offline maps. This feature is something of an Easter egg. It's undocumented, a feature inserted by Google engineers simply because they wanted it. You can access it only if you know the secret. But wow, is it worth it.
This feature memorizes the map data for whatever area is displayed on your screen right now (up to a whole city in size). That way, you can use Google Maps even when you're overseas and don't want to turn on data roaming (because that's insanely expensive), or when you're in an area where there's no cell reception. It's very handy.
Google's desire is to create true parity across its mobile Maps platform, and the iOS version of the app contains almost all the same features of the Android version. The one exception is that dynamic map rerouting isn't available yet on iOS. But, Google UX lead of mobile maps Darren Delaye said that rerouting will be coming to iOS "soon." That's the only bad news, but cyclists should be happy that iOS is finally getting biking directions. Now you can figure out the best route to the bicycle shop to get lights put on your bike for night riding.
Sam Byford, the Verge (published July 10)
On tablets, the interface is slightly different but just as clean; it more closely matches the look and feel of the Google Maps desktop beta that was released at I/O. Instead of a single swipeable information card at bottom, the tablet gives you a grid of cards more appropriate for the larger screen size. Both versions benefit from the cleaner layout, with the previous version's little-used and ill-conceived menus and options excised in favor of in-map information or information that only appears when you search. They also utilize the new, cleaner map layout that debuted on the desktop version, with easier to read road and location names that intelligently appear when you zoom around.
Google Maps for iOS still has the best location database, and the performance is excellent on all modern iDevices. The app is free, so make sure you download this on your device if you haven't already.
Google 2.0 also includes 5-star ratings for various locations, alongside reviews from friends and Zagat content, and if you were perhaps looking for a little marketing in your Maps app, Google is also pushing Google Offers to users through the navigation app.
Google has always been ahead of the pack when it comes to Maps, and with the recent acquisition of Waze crowd-sourced mapping technology, Google's lead will likely only get bigger.
Eric Ravenscraft, Lifehacker (published July 10)
This is one of those features that makes you wonder why it didn't exist sooner. When you search for a contact's name directly, their address will be included among search suggestions. If you submit your search, your friend's location won't appear, but it is a quick tap away while you're typing.
Perhaps the niftiest new feature—on a scale of one-to-nifty—is Google Maps's new indoors mapping feature. No longer do you have to wander around your local mall or an unfamiliar airport, trying to figure out where a particular shop or restaurant is located: Google Maps has that information baked right in—if you zoom in far enough, you can even toggle between multiple floors. However, some of this info is spotty right now—one of my local malls showed only an incomplete floor plan.
Finally, while a lot of the emphasis on Maps is for the smartphone, where it makes most sense for real-time navigation, Google threw open the doors on its desktop upgrade, too. According to PC World, there's a lot of good and some not-so-good. Some of the griping is the standard kind that comes with change — hard to find my stuff, my favorite feature was taken away — and the like. PC World points out you can shift back to classic Maps if desired.
And no good maps update happens without something going missing, like a Scottish island.

DescriptionThe University student.mean one of the Metalogy students.
i have a friend named Amir Hossein.he introduce me to the Cs nation in our city.
we dont live in a big city,so we are so far from the big city's equipments.
all thing is not the facilities!!!!
The Challenge begins...
i have 2 real friends:
Sajjad(first_star_dnc):The best Sniper of Neishabur Cs-State.
Amir-Hossein(Par T zan 134u):The team Captain and of course he has the most Delicious Gameplay an fantastic handling and he is best at his best abilities.
the Cs have been started at our city about 7 years ago.of course some players like Pooria SpooWn(my friend) were the old players of our city.
but as i said,all the things relate to ur talent and how genius u r.
in my clan Amir Hossein began the Cs sooner than every body.his sparkling talent had informed a great and genius player is growing in Cs.
he plays very good than the players that were playin more than him.
The New talent is on the way:
yes...Sajjad began Cs 1.6 as he introduced with his great talent that has been shown an early peak player.
all of the players i know in the neishabur admit that Sajjad has reached the peak limit verryyy soon.
the Hide and Frag game,the Genius Handling and the USP&M4A1 shooting of Amir-H and the Superb reflexes and Brilliant AWP and pistols shooting by Sajjad brought these players in the top of every thing in the CS.
so,2 rivals,2 friends,2 talents...started their way to the success.
Of course there were some big clans that had the goo to win the Javan Clan(our clan).
at that days there were a Championship between the game Centers.
our Clan included:DNC(Sajjad),Hulk 134(Amir Hossein),Shrek,emano... took part in the tournament that was held in our city.
our clan was defeated and disappointed in the final match versus SHIFT Clan.
Years by the Years passed...
about one and half year ago...
My friend...Amir Hossein(i really love him) encourage me to play cs...
at that days...i hate playing cs...cuz im a Fifa ain PES ProGamer.
finally...i decide playin CS...
At a very short period i could alternate all the best Gunners and Pistol men By My N A M E.
At a very short period about 5-6 months i became the best and ever best Aimer of the City and...
the process has been goin on ...till the Player Im N0W.
My best friends invited me to the clan...and im really honored to play alongside the best players and the men that have a very high talent.
we are the JUST Talented people in Cs nation who could win the RMZ Championship that is held yearly in a holy month.
we show the peoples,the two things that cause success,is talent+targeting practices.
we r the CS L0000VERS...
Love U...

Back in December, federal officials with the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement had reason to believe many workers at the Swift meatpacking plant in Omaha, Neb., were here illegally. To put it bluntly, the fact that the plant employed a number of illegal immigrants was not the best kept secret in the world.
So hundreds of federal agents raided the plant and began their investigation. To no one's surprise, ICE officials arrested 1,297 workers at the plant. Of those arrested, 274 were charged with identity theft or other crimes unrelated to immigration law. And another 649 were deported to Latin American countries. The raid marked one of the most successful attacks on illegal immigration in history.
And now, the union representing the Swift workers are suing the feds, saying their rights were violated. The feds dispute all of the union charges. With almost 1,300 arrests, you would have thought the raid was clearly a successful venture. But not to the union officials.
This great nation will never fully address the exploding problem of illegal immigration if there are those like this union who consistently flaunt the laws and then cry "foul" when the laws are enforced. How can we expect to send a clear signal that illegal immigration is against the law?
Swift says the financial impact of the raid was $50 million. I say they deserve every penny if not more. Do you somehow think the Swift company was unaware that perhaps some of their workers were here illegally?
I hope Swift and other companies continue to suffer financial losses from their illegal practices. I hope the impact is so great that they change their approach to employment, pay higher wages and attract legal employees. If their profits are diminished, then so be it.
Why would this union not applaud the federal government for their efforts to removal illegal workers? Why would they not recognize that this nation is in peril if we ignore the growing issue of illegal immigration?
The complex issue of illegal immigration must involve accountability and responsibility. That goes for Swift and it goes for their union as well. Until we accept this fact, we'll just see the problem grow.

Product Description
Aliens vs. Zombies ("AvZ"), by designer Chris Taylor, is a two-player game about the life and death (mostly death) battle between two natural enemies: Aliens and Zombies. The Aliens attacked the Earth and destroyed 99% of humanity using orbital death rays. However, the weapon interacted strangely with human DNA and caused an unforeseen mutation! Within 24 hours of death, the recently dead arose and slowly shambled aimlessly with purpose in the general direction of the Alien attackers to take their revenge.
Aliens vs. Zombies is a small, low-complexity wargame for beginners, children and light-hearted fans of aliens and/or zombies. The aliens are invading a small town. A side effect of their weapons used to conquer humanity is the reanimation of the newly dead, who are out for revenge!
The alien player has fewer units but has the advantage of superior weaponry and armor. Zombies are plentiful and are divided into different types: rotting, tough and fast. Both sides can move or attack during their turn. Each side has one unique action: aliens can blast away with exploding dice and zombies can chomp their opponents to create new allies.
Each turn a tile is revealed with a number of zombie spawns and special events. After the 8th turn, the zombie dead (those deader than usual) are counted to determine the victor.
Which side will you choose? Choose wisely and conquer, in Aliens vs. Zombies!

Hot Iron Days in Lamberton is a two-day celebration with its own 5k race, dinner, and kiddie parade.
But let's face it: the real star of the show is the molten iron on Friday evening.
Several hundred spectators turned out Friday to watch Larry Hubert of Lamberton show how blacksmiths used to melt scrap iron and form it into useful tools.
Hot Iron Days was founded (get it?) by Hubert eight years ago, growing out of his interest in metal work.
"My son Mike went to school at Southwest Minnesota State University, and got a BA in studio art," Hubert said.
"One day Mike went out to an iron pour in Hennen, and came back saying, 'Dad! We've got to do this!'"
Soon Hubert owned his own cupola for melting scrap iron, and toured three states demonstrating antique-style iron pours.
When the Lamberton Historical Society renovated the old Hanzlik Blacksmithing Shop in downtown Lamberton, it seemed the perfect opportunity for a new town celebration.
Why not sponsor an antique iron pour in his own town?
Although the techniques Hubert demonstrated on Friday were once used to make machine parts, at the Hot Iron Days demonstration he mostly cast iron sculptures by Minnesota artists.
The sculptures are originally created in clay or styrofoam, then packed in a special sand that resists heat to make molds.
The cupola for melting iron is basically a big barrel lined with a special heat-proof cement for burning coke, a special refined coal that's between 92-95 percent pure carbon.
"The walls of the cupola get up to 2,700 degrees," said Hubert. When asked how hot the flame burns, he said, "Oh, I don't know. You'd have to ask a physicist, but I've heard it gets up to 5,000 degrees."
Up to 800 pounds of scrap iron can be melted up to 2,300 degrees at a time in Hubert's cupola. For his basic material, Hubert used mostly old machine parts and unsuccessful sculptures by regional artists.
Once the iron is liquid enough, it is poured into a special ladle that itself has to be heated up to several thousand degrees to keep the molten iron from melting too quickly.
When the iron is poured into the molds, it is so hot you can warm your hands on it from eight feet away. The final results were able to be seen the next morning when they had cooled down.
It was a hot time in the old town that night.

The project took a modest two storey detached house built in 1964 on a large, steeply sloping mature woodland suburban site and completely reinvented the building. The project reconfigured the existing accommodation, re-skinned it dramatically improving its appearance and thermal performance and extended it. The works revealed and recreated the dual mono-pitch form of the original building and take and extend an original terrace and its columns as part of the roof form and solar shading of what appears as a wholly new building. Over-cladding of the existing building with insulation and render together with new enlarged high performance windows, together with solar glass and high sun shelter from the roof overhang and natural stack ventilation produces a Code for Sustainable Home Level 5 performance of the fabric. Extensive ground source heating and PV panels will allow the house to become completely off-grid. A modest budget has been applied carefully to produce some great living spaces.

(Enjoy my Rosh Hashanah table setting from September 2011!)
Dear Hostesses,
Even though Rosh Hashanah came a little bit later this year, for some reason I was still scrambling till the last minute. Thank goodness it all came together somehow by the time it was time to light the candles! Setting my table took about three days, (believe it or not), and of course it always looks so effortless when the guests walk in.
1- My tablecloth- a simple linen hem stitch cloth was the backdrop for the beautiful dishes that my mom packed up as a gift to me before the holiday. She had owned them for about 40 years, and I seem to remember the navy dishes with the gold scrollwork being piled high at the the disco-dinner party that my parents had made for my older brother back in the 70's. Looking back, she still wishes that she had ordered more than service for 18. Out of curiosity, I checked on Replacements.com and actually found these dishes! Unfortunately they are out of stock but will let me know if they ever uncover any more.
2- My napkin rings are lucite each napkin ring has a small hole to display a flower. You can purchase them at The Jewish Hostess Shop. I didn't want to deal with keeping real flowers alive with water that would spill on everyone's new holiday clothes, so I sent my daughter to the flower district on 28 Street between 6 and 7th in Manhattan to find very real looking orchids which we snipped with scissors and slid into each ring.
3- Honey dippers- I bought these wooden honey dippers from www.craftparts.com. They were so inexpensive! About $30. for 50 of them. The little kids had a great time sliding them into the lucite napkin rings, and I also bought honey sticks (not shown) which we also slid into the napkin rings on the kids table.
4- I have about 6 of my grandmother's little crystal shot glasses (above), so I poured some honey into each of them and spread them along the length of the table.
5- I had a lot of fun putting together my centerpiece of "new fruits" for my Rosh Hashanah table. Last year I purchased this L'Objet centerpiece bowl from Parci Parla, and I knew that it would be a perfect match for my mom's gold dishes. I purchased a gold apple for about $15 from "Aimee", and a gold butterfly from Karen's Invitations on Avenue U and then ran into Ouri's fruit store to get whatever new gorgeous fruits that were still left on the shelves. Ouri had the best Medjool dates, mini pineapples, dates on the vine, concord grapes, champagne grapes, raisins on the stem, Meyer lemons (which gave a pop of color), and several more fruits which I cannot remember the names. (If you really want to know ALL of the names of these fruits then I give you permission to email Martha Stewart with any questions and I'm sure she will answer you right away- let me know!)
6- I love these little tasting spoons and bowls that I found online from http://www.worldmarket.com, and I especially loved how cool all of the red pomegranates seeds looked lined up in the white ceramic tasting spoons before we said the Beracha.
7- Sugar in a mini silver dish…. (above), and "sillet"(next to the apple and the medjool date) made by my mother in law- which is a Syrian recipe for the gourd. I will hopefully post this gourd recipe by next Rosh Hashanah!
After this pic was taken, we put out the rest of the berachot which included leek edjeh, (fried patties made by my mother in law) sugared quince, and loobiah (meat stew made with black eyed peas)
8. Note the natural honey in the wood crate from Ouri's fruit. Ouri warned the women in the fruit store not to let their families eat the "waxy" exterior which he said is not kosher. Just serve the delicious honey that drips out!
Shana Tova Oometukah to all of my Jewish Hostesses!!!! Love, Marlene

Dear Hostesses,
In case you haven't heard, the new code word for the next huge family get together is "Thanksgivukkah". This year, in a rare alignment of calendars, Hanukka and Thanksgiving fall on November 28, 2013. Astronomers say that we won't see this occurrence again till the year 79,811 so I decided to make a big deal out of this menorah/pumpkin shidduch (or buzzrah as they say in Arabic) by re-creating a Syrian Jewish Hanukka table with a twist of Thanksgiving thrown in. Some may say that this American/Jewish holiday connection is pure coincidence, but I'm thinking that there is a greater cosmic connection that's just waiting to be blogged about.
As Jews in America, we are very grateful to be able to celebrate our holidays publicly without fear of being persecuted. Just the fact that we can honor the mitzvah of lighting the menorah at the front window to shout out the 8 day miracle of Hanukka is reason enough to bring out our finest china and table decor to honor our peaceful place in Jewish history. For that reason alone, we should all proudly acknowledge and celebrate Thanksgiving. As a Sephardic Jew living in America I now understand that we are a minority of Jews residing within a minority of the larger Ashkenazi Jewish population. When our community first arrived on these shores in the 1900's, they were quickly swept up in the wave of fellow immigrants that had also fled for a better life in the U.S.A.. Fast forward one hundred years, the Syrian Jewish culture readily absorbed many delicious flavors from their surrounding American and Ashkenazi Jewish neighbors while still retaining the pride of their homeland. It's no wonder I received this email from Rina Kassab who wrote,
"Hi Marlene, in Syria we had no idea what Sufganiyot is! We made Atayef with Ricotta (lebeh) and Walnuts (joz). My Atayef are ready to freeze fresh for Hanukka!
Hope u like!"
I then decided to skip the Sufganiyot and create a Syrian style Hanukka table sweetened with a tray of sweet chopped nut filled Atayef and drizzled with shirah- a thick rose water syrup freshly made by Rina. Rina told me that on Hanukka in Syria, the Jewish women prepared 8 small glass cups that were filled with half water/half oil and then inserted a handmade wick within each one. (Whaaaat? No Jonathan Adler Menorot?)
And guess what? In Syrian, NO GIFTS were given on HANUKKA! Gift giving was reserved for Purim! I wonder if the Ashkenaz Jews had the tradition of eight surprise filled nights way back in the old country. Comment below if anyone you know has the answer! (Hmmm…. why do I suspect that gift giving during December in our great U.S of A evolved into a fabricated American marketing spending scheme…)
I also added in an extra candle that is lit every year by Syrian Jews whose ancestors fled Spain during the expulsion by King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella in 1492. Expelled on Tisha B'Av over 500 years ago, several Jewish families wandered for months until they stumbled upon the Syrian community of Aleppo, Syria some months later on Hanukka eve. So grateful were this group of exiles to finally find a homeland that they lit an extra candle to commemorate this miracle. To this day many Syrian Jewish families still light an extra candle on Hanukka, some knowing the story of their wandering ancestors, and some just following this custom by tradition without really understanding why the extra candle is illuminated.

Thank you Sarah for sending in your "Night in Morocco" themed Rosh Hashanah! WOW!!! I wish I was there!
Sarah created this Moroccan themed evening on Rosh Hashanah by buying nargilla smoking pipes as props from Kosher Palace on Kings Highway. Always thinking of making her guests feel cozy and right at home, she also somehow found a minute to run to Canal Street in Manhattan to purchase pashmena wraps which she artfully displayed on the back of each chair. Comfortable Morrocan patterned silk slippers were displayed in a basket at the foot of the dining room table. Moroccan drums and mirrored trays on this fabulous Rosh Hashanah table completed the holiday decor. Thick candles and Moroccan inspired candlesticks topped off the festive Jewish New year.
This is one table that will inspire us all to make our Jewish holidays fun AND memorable! Thanks again for sharing your evening with us, Sarah!

Hi Marlene,
Inspired from my trip to Paris last year – I wanted to serve all the food in individual portions Not being able to find the right table cloth, so I went to the fabric store and bought a black leather cloth and made a runner from that black and white fabric. I happen to love inspiring messages, so each Eiffel tower place card holder had a word printed on it – happiness, gratitude, honor, love grace etc … and each card also the guest's name on it.
I found butterflies at Kitchen Caboodles and placed them on my napkins.
Mirrors were used as chargers.
I set up the food in the kitchen on display boxes with mirrors And I also bought lamp posts online to create the Paris street setting.
I also got the individual ramekins from kitchen caboodles and the martini glasses and large glasses for salads.
I'll send over the pics now !

On Tuesday July 11, the fabulously talented women of the Sephardic community in Deal, New Jersey unleashed their creative table setting talents to amaze hundreds of Jewish women who arrived to support the Morris I. Franco Community Cancer Center. This event, staged on the spacious summer porch of the home of our gracious hosts,Charles and Ariella Ben Dayan, was a competition that consisted of eight teams of 1-5 women per team. Each team was given a random holiday theme, in which they created a unique table setting. The basic rule was that they must use a 48 inch round table that was supplied to them, and from there on in, the sky was the limit. An impressive lunch, chinese auction gifts, and demonstrations were also featured during the day. Pictures are worth a thousand words, so go on and feast your eyes!!!!
Rosh Hashanah
Table by:
Marcy Smeke, Pauline Assa, Michal Gindi, Grace Chehebar, Tunee Missry
This Rosh Hashanah table is truly a work of art and imagination. The table was lined with a vintage table cloth. Next, the girls layered the table with bamboo place mats, a gold woven place mat, green glass charger, gold dish, a hand painted gold leaf salad plate, embroidered leaves napkin and gold flatware. Note the symbolic silver apple that tops off the whole place setting. Of course we "dip the apple in the honey" to symbolize the hopefully sweet upcoming New Year.
Are you starting to get a little anxious about when is Rosh Hashanah this year of 2011? Well, mark your calendars and get back on the beach! You've got till Sept 28 at sundown to start dipping those apples…..
Above: Note the LIVE FISH swimming in the elongated green vases. A genius idea!!! Of course the fish are a perfect symbol of The Jewish New Year, as many people serve the head of the fish on the Rosh Hashanah table to symbolize the fact that we should be the "Rosh" (the head)and not the " Zanav"(the tail).
The fish also symbolize our custom of "Tashlich" in which we throw our sins into a live body of water that contains fish.
The photo above was taken by Norma Cohen just seconds before an ocean breeze sent one of the vases toppling over. Thankfully Grace Chehebar saved the day and scooped all of the flopping fish off of the porch and flung them into the second vase.
Note the Shofar candlesticks above!!!
Above :I LOVE the silver apple casually placed in to the bowl of green apples!!!
Below: Don't miss the fresh honey oozing out of the honey combs! (The girls whispered to me that the honey combs can be bought HERE .)
In my opinion, the real hit of the whole table was the apple that doubled as a honey jar. Pauline Assa explained her unique Rosh Hashanah invention to me in 4 easy steps:

WOW!! What a gorgeous holiday table!! If you are looking for elegant table setting ideas then you've come to the right place! Viviane's flair for color and style is evident with the effort that she put into her Rosh Hashanah table. Shades of the color purple are associated with royalty, wisdom, and mystery in which the flowers, dishes, placemats and stemware add the extra touch of sophistication to the table.
I love how she so cleverly used Kim Seybert napkin rings as a backdrop for printed place cards for her guests! And the individual simanim for each family member! What a cool idea! Love it! I'm sure adults and children alike went home with wonderful holiday memories that reflected the effort and thought that went into this special holiday table setting. (Not to mention all the the yummy kosher holiday recipes that were prepared as well! Viviane- send us your holiday menu also!!) Shana Tova! Marlene
"I got my idea online from a Chinese hostess website. I bought the spoons from a restaurant warehouse and the plates underneath from CB2. I went to Paper Moon Invitations on Avenue P and had them print up the cards with each beracha. Then I went to Lana fabric on Kings Highway and bought organza plum ribbon and tied each one to each spoon. Every person got their own plate with their own spoons and simanim. What a nice night! Viviane"

Dear Hostesses,
Every Sunday, we venture out to different parts of Brooklyn and NYC to check out some of the new exciting neighborhoods.
Last week, we journeyed out to Smith Street in Downtown Brooklyn and the sweet sight of moms and dads wheeling strollers and Sunday morning coffee shops made me feel like I'd like to spend a little time discovering the area. Looking for some great shopping, I started to scout around. You might be thinking that great spending to me means Intermix, Scoop, Chanel, and Prada- (well, it doesn't hurt to window shop!), but really fun shopping is when I can walk into a store like Paper Source, and feel like a kid again. Located at 102 Smith Street, it's a crafter's dream. For anyone that's really a kid at heart, Paper Source will allow you to create to your heart's content. The friendly staff will help you choose from arrays of colored and patterned paper, glitter, stamps, and tons more. (They didn't pay me for this post! REALLY!)
I decided then and there, that I would try to see if I could challenge myself to some DIY Purim cards. After browsing around in heaven for a couple of minutes, I realized that I had to speed it up seeing that my hubby and kids were getting a little fidgety. I quickly threw some coordinating card stock, a wine bottle stamp, gold ink, leaf patterned ribbon, raffia, a burlap ribbon, and a hole puncher into my basket. As the sales girl rang me up, I also grabbed some packaged glue dots which ended up being a key ingredient to my DIY cards.
That evening, I was so excited to rip open my Paper Source bags. I felt like I had just gotten home from the toy store. The best part of the whole night was that I put away my phone, my kids became a part of the process, and together we created a fantastic mess, plus the one of a kind cards below.
The secret to this scrapbooking style of card making is to layer, layer, and keep on layering. And if you make a mistake, then LAYER again!
For my mishloach manot this year, I am thinking of buying wine, grapes, and cheeses and mounding in a basket. The greens and purple and golds were a good choice for me.
Using the same colors and materials, we created several different designs featured below. Which one is your favorite? What colors would you choose for your own DIY Purim card?
Below are some inspiration boards by the pros at Paper Source. I snapped photos in the store so that I could grab some ideas later on.
A hole puncher is a great tool to help you weave cord through any shaped card like the heart shape below:
See how their layers create such a professional and handcrafted look?
Stamps like the "Thank You" below can really make it look like you did the calligraphy yourself.
I hope you enjoyed my DIY Purim card. Even though life gets so hectic, its all about the personal touches in life. Whether we make our own Purim cards, lovingly pinch hammentashen, or tuck our kids in at night, its all about the memories that our kids take with them as they grow, and g-d willing raise their own families. HAPPY PURIM!!! XOXO

Thank you Esther Sasson! Esther lives in Israel and shared pictures of two beautiful Hanukka parties that she created. Esther plans parties and dessert buffets in Israel. She also creates beautiful flower arrangements such as the menorah centerpiece below. You can contact Esther at firstname.lastname@example.com.
"Hi Marlene,
These pictures were taken in Israel at a Hanuka party that I made for my husband's students and their wives.
In the first pictures I made an olive themed party. I set out all different types of marinated olives. For the centerpiece of the main table I made a menorah out of glass squares built on top of a long glass sheet. The cups are filled with olive oil and can actually be lit with floating wicks. Under the menorah I put a small jug of olive oil pouring into a square of olives.
On the buffet tables I just put pretty, purple, brown, and green artificial flower arrangements, that I made, with pretty olive trifles.
The blue party pictures were a party that I made for the Syrian women of Israel. I just took mirrored trays and set them with all different types of desserts. The menorah centerpiece in the middle was built out of long goblets filled with blue marbles. On top of the goblets I put small cups of blue water with tea lights in them. On the table itself I put all kinds of blue Hanuka knick knacks like marbles, candles, coins, and dreidels.
That's basically what I did in a nut shell. If you have any more questions, I'd be happy to answer.
Good luck, Esther"

On Wednesday, November 16, the Sephardic Community Center hosted hundreds of community women to gather and soak up the talents of the celebrity bakers that reside within the Syrian Jewish community. Never before have all of our expert "Jewish Hostesses" mommy bakers gathered in one place for a friendly fundraising competition.
This day of unity featured the creative baking expertise of six teams consisting of 2-3 yeshiva moms, each team representing a different community school.
Each team was given a Jewish holiday theme (which was chosen at random), in which they had to create a cupcake from scratch that represented that theme. I was lucky enough to be chosen as a one of the judges (I think I gained about 3 pounds that day- but it was SO worth it!!!!) for the competition, along with Claudia Bildiricci (of the famous "LOTTIE BISCOTTI") and Katy Zanville of Sprinkles Cupcakes, NYC.
The clock struck at 12:15, and the girls flurried about in organized precision, rolling, baking, fitting, topping, and assembling their cupcake themed displays.As their masterpieces began to take shape, you could hear the "oohs and aahhs" among the crowd of amazed women. In 90 minutes they would be judged by their creativity, adherance to the theme of the holiday, and deliciousness of their cupcakes.
While the bakers were hard at work, the hungry audience was ushered into a fabulous lunch bar that was catered by A Kosher Affair. A gorgeous turquoise themed chinese auction full of tempting gifts for every Jewish Hostess had tons of tickets stuffed into each box, each one awaiting a lucky winner.
Though these events seemingly fall into place SO easily, we all know that it takes women like Lisa Elo and Linda Sasson who can defy the conventional. and pull a monumental gathering like this together. Another thanks to our MCs for the day- Gail Mizrahi, Lynda Levy, and Linda Sasson.
Please comment below and mention everyone that I may have forgotten to thank!
So now, the moment you've been waiting for!!!! First of all, let me introduce you to some real Jewish Hostesses in every sense of the word!

I wish that I could have uploaded ALL of the gorgeous pictures taken by Mark Greenberg that day but the pics below were the best ones!
And NOW……. for the CUPCAKES!!!!!
Passover By Hillel Yeshivah bakers was displayed as a petite seder plate atop a silver star shaped dish. The girls created their very own mini gold pillow, wine cup, celery dipped in salt water and charoset out of home-made modeling chocolate. The cupcake was a unique fleur de sel "red" velvet (representing the river of blood on Passover!) cupcake with yummy coconut cream cheese frosting (get it? Cream cheese on matzo….) Great Job, Girls!!!!
Barkaii Yeshivah bakers displayed a fabulous Achashverosh Crown shaped vanilla vodka (for the liquor on Purim….) flavored cupcake. The filling had a tinge of whiskey flavor which added to the authenticity of this delicious Purim dessert. The clever use of the upside down champagne glass, the mask, and fondant megillah really amazed the crowd!
The Yeshivah Derech Eretz yeshivah bakers really captured the spirit of Simchat Torah by using fun filled ingredients like home made caramel, a peanut butter frosting, chocolate, M and Ms and nuts. Hand made steps leading up to a torah hid their surprise candy cupcake. Thank you girls for sharing your wonderful talents with us!
Magen David Yeshivah's glamourous hand made menorah and fondant candles spread Happy Hanukah vibes throughout the crowd. Gleaming handpainted chocolates and fondant soufganiyot graced the mirrored tray and looked too good to eat! The "present themed" cupcake was actually a scrumptious jelly doughnut cupcake- I hope that the Magen David bakers will share this Hanukah cupcake recipe with us! Thank You, girls!!!
And now for the talented Shaare Torah Sukkot bakers! This unique vanilla date cupcake (dates representing the lulav, which grows on the date tree) was filled with a citrus curd flavored with etrog zest and etrog liquor . The topping was a light meringue frosting that symbolized the clouds that Hashem protected us with in the desert (WOW!). The whole intensely flavored cupcake was enclosed in a star (that we see through the bamboo sechach) cutout cupcake holder and sat atop a mini bamboo Sukkah.
Candied tangy etrog peel dipped in chocolate sat aside a shot of fizzy etrog liquor. (as a judge, I admit to drinking a shot in the middle of the day. For those of you who know me, they will tell you that I wasn't that much more fun…) The whole modern Sukkot ensemble was so enjoyable to view as well as to eat…. Thank you girls for all your hard work!
This jewel toned Rosh Hashanah ensemble was cleverly designed with several rounds of tree bark that were layered atop each other for a three dimensional , natural look. Apples, flowers and hand rolled and painted bumble bees really evoked that festive Rosh Hashanah holiday season. Apple cinnamon cupcakes filled with a cozy apple pie filling was topped off with cinnamon honey filled cream puffs and drizzled with caramel. Served with vanilla ice cream, this dessert really took the cake and was voted as the winner of $2600 for The Yeshivah of Flatbush! Mabrook to all the girls for a job very well done!!!

The Reason for Everything
It was Sunday night dinner in our Sukkah. Family and good friends totaling 20 were gathered around the table, already a beautiful sight! I beamed at my guests for a minute and thanked everyone for being there, before turning to go in for the soup. Suddenly, my friend Jody's daughter spoke up."I want to say something!" she announced. We all turned to look at Gilda, 6 years old, a normally reserved and serious child, and shy around adults – definitely not one to speak up at a table of 20. But Gilda showed no sign of hesitation as she continued, "I just want to say how happy I am to be here in this Sukkah, and it is so beautiful in here, and I really love it. I am so happy." Her eyes glistened as she looked around the Sukkah.
I was speechless. Years of hosting, cooking, decorating, inviting. Every Shabbat and holiday, as we say, Eem kol ha lev - with our whole heart. And always to a happy, satiated, and appreciative crowd. But Gilda's pure and genuine compliment, in all its simplicity, instantly reminded me (and provided a case in point to my whole family), why we do this at all. For our children. For the next generation of Jews.
Every Shabbat and Holiday is ultimately for them, but especially Sukkot. We know the symbolism of a sukkah and retell it every year. But for children, it's even more than that. It's a fort! A little hut! A small house! An enchanted little getaway. And we get to have this in our driveway every year because we're Jewish! While the Sukkah is being erected, the kids are hard at work at the decoration table, making paper chains, paper lanterns, and welcome signs. They get to decide where it goes. It's their own little Sukkah fort. Truly, the party starts that evening, as it all starts to come together.
For Gilda, the magical appeal of a sukkah may have been just that spark that evoked the gush of appreciation and awareness. I'm so lucky. I'm so happy. I'm Jewish. I'm part of something. Our kids do as we do. We tell them we're Jewish, we model the rituals and tradition, we tell and retell stories of our ancestors, we explain and we teach. But to witness the moment when the first burst of genuine spirituality is stirred in a child – that is just a transcending experience. From oldest to youngest, we were all touched by a little bit of sukkah magic that night.

After the dull second episode of Back to the Future: The Game, I had hopes for the third. For starters, this wouldn't be a retread of the 1920s (again), but a look at an alternate 1980s where Doc Brown had instead become Citizen Brown, ruling over Hill Valley through technology and squeezing dissent out of the public through mind control techniques.
Unfortunately, we get more of the same drab gameplay, with endless scenes spent wading through multiple conversation trees to try and trigger the next puzzle. The first episode at least had a corker of an action scene, with Marty trying to free Doc from a moving paddy wagon. In this episode, the big action sequence is that Marty has to figure out which repetitive tasks to perform in which order to knock out a villain. Which is what happened in episode 2.
There are a few interesting elements in this go-round: Marty's girlfriend, Jennifer, makes an appearance, though under Citizen Brown's rule she's a punk who's trying her best to rage against the machine. But far, far too much of the game is walking and talking, and having characters info dump on you about how Hill Valley ended up like this and why Doc's dictatorship is wrong.
The first episode got the tone of the Back to the Future movies right, but the endless exposition and childishly simple gameplay (press buttons until I find the right camera? Look around the room until I find something Biff might like? Really?) make me dread the next episode, which looks like it's going to be set in the same time period. Again.

Safety Advisory: Unauthorized Certification of Compressed Gas Cylinders
Safety Advisory Notice.
PHMSA is issuing this safety advisory to notify the public that any DOT-Specification or DOT-Special Permit high pressure compressed gas cylinder marked as complying with the Hazardous Materials Regulations (HMR) by Always Safe Fire Extinguisher and Safety, LLC (ASFES), Yonkers, New York is not authorized for the transportation of hazardous materials in commerce. ASFES has never been authorized by PHMSA to perform these regulatory functions.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Back to Top
Patrick Durkin, Hazardous Materials Investigator, Eastern Region, Office of Hazardous Materials Safety, Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration, U.S. Department of Transportation, 820 Bear Tavern Road, Suite 306, West Trenton, NJ 08034. Telephone: (609) 989-2256, Fax: (609) 989-2277, or email: firstname.lastname@example.com.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Back to Top
Investigators from PHMSA's Office of Hazardous Materials Safety (OHMS) recently conducted a compliance inspection of Always Safe Fire Extinguisher and Safety, LLC (ASFES), 41 Lockwood Avenue, Yonkers, NY 10701. As a result of that inspection, PHMSA determined that ASFES marked an unknown number of high pressure compressed gas cylinders with unauthorized markings. In addition, ASFES did not have the requisite testing equipment and could not provide evidence to demonstrate that high pressure compressed gas cylinders were properly requalified in accordance with the Hazardous Materials Regulations (HMR; 49 CFR Parts 171-180).
ASFES was never approved by PHMSA to either requalify or mark DOT-specification or special permit cylinders as being requalified. The evidence suggests that ASFES stamped the month (2 digits) and year (2 digits) separated by a star, on DOT high pressure gas cylinders. Only high pressure cylinders serviced by ASFES bearing these markings are affected.
If the requalification is not performed in accordance with the HMR, or in accordance with the applicable special permit, a cylinder with compromised structural integrity may not be detected and may be returned to service when it should be condemned. Extensive property damage, serious personal injury, or death could result from rupture of a cylinder.
If DOT-Specification or DOT-Special permit cylinders have been serviced from ASFES from calendar years 2008 to present day, and have the marking described above (i.e., 2-digit month—star—2-digit year), these cylinders may not have been properly tested as prescribed by the HMR or by the applicable special permit. These cylinders should be considered unsafe and not authorized for the filling of hazardous material unless the cylinder is first properly tested by an individual or company authorized to requalify DOT specification and special permit cylinders.
Cylinders described in this safety advisory that are filled with an atmospheric gas should be vented or otherwise safely discharged. Cylinders that are filled with a material other than an atmospheric gas should not be vented but instead should be safely discharged. If a cylinder contains a hazardous material other than an atmospheric gas and the testing facility does not have the capability of safely removing the hazardous material, the requalifier must return the cylinder to the origin for proper discharge of the gas. For toxic gases in Hazard Zone A or B, the cylinder must be cleaned in accordance with the procedure described in CGA pamphlet C-10. Prior to refilling or continued use, the cylinders must be taken to a DOT-authorized cylinder requalifier to ensure their suitability for continued service. A list of authorized requalifiers may be obtained at this Web site: http://www.phmsa.dot.gov/hazmat/regs/sp-a/approvals/cylinders.

Associate Administrator for Hazardous Materials Safety, Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration.

Today I am going to take a breath from the numbers and suggest something radical.
You don't need MMA (you knew that). You don't even need my spreadsheet.
Neither adds value, and really just wastes your time.
You need to follow the very simple process; (A) At the end of each month, send any extra money you have to your highest interest debt. (B) there is no 'B'.
For the pennies to be gained by the HELOC shuffle (see last week's post, it's $5 per month using UFirst's income/expense example) you are best off simply avoiding it, and merely going with my rule above.
I very much enjoy all the analogies, the MMA is like a (fill in the blank). My favorite is the GPS one. How often do you really have no idea where you are going? What if I told you I'd sell you a $3500 GPS whose volume could not be turned off and it announced exactly where you were every 30 seconds? And it bolted to your car so you could not leave it home. You couldn't pay me to take such a device. MMA (and my spreadsheet) will let you obsessively track your exact balances every night and projected mortgage payoff with every cent you send to the bank. So what? There's no value in that, just a waste of your time. What is your time worth? Instead of spending the time with MMA, have weekly/monthly family meetings, to discuss how you can spend more wisely. Don't use the word budget, it's has too many negative connotations.
Until next week,

Everybody knows this. The problem is few people do it. As an intellectual exercise it is obvious. My aunt has had credit card problems all her life. I told her many many times how much interest she is spending and wasting money and I try to get her to understand. In 30 years she never has. Problem is not that people don't know better but that they won't make the change and do something for themselves but they might go by some system.

Did your aunt buy into the program? Seems to me that people who are in that deep are best off going in a different direction to get their financial house in order. Those in your aunt's situation aren't likely to be able to get the HELOC, and are back to the rule of "pay your debts, highest rate first." I fail to see what value anyone finds in this package, price aside.
JOE Says:
March 15th, 2009 at 6:35 pm
That may be, but MMA asks that they do just that. That they go from spending themselves into debt to magically learning how to budget themselves to a plan that pays off all their debt in record time. I don't believe it.
Kevin Says:
March 15th, 2009 at 6:31 pm
I am sure my aunt has never heard of it. It was just to show that you cannot convince most people who are bad with finances that they should change even if you show them why what they are doing makes no sense. I do not think you can change anyone's addiction by telling them it makes no sense. But if you put them on a program like AA or debtor's anonymous or some other system maybe they can change. That is all I am saying.

Tim McCausland
Published: Friday, March 1, 2013 at 12:01 a.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, February 28, 2013 at 11:58 p.m.
As a Lakeland citizen and taxpayer, I recently sent a short letter to the city commissioners that was also circulated among members of the Polk County Republican Party.
That letter opposed the pending Lakeland pension ordinance for objective economic reasons.
Ledger reporter John Chambliss cited my work in a highly selective way in an article without having the courtesy to contact me about my position ["GOP Letter Opposes Request For City Pension," Feb. 24].
In my letter, I expressly stated that I think Tim McCausland "has served the city well, and I have no objection to his separate request for an employment contract."
The letter then proceeds to raise four objective and substantive points with the proposed ordinance based on publicly available information.
Mr. Chambliss omits my generally supportive statement about Mr. McCausland and fails to set forth any of the substantive points that I made in opposition to the pension ordinance.

No. The Domain servers (KDC) don't communicate directly. The client
libs request tickets from the user's KDC in Domain_B, for a TGT. That
TGT is used against Domain_B to get a second TGT usable at Domain_A.
(It is encrypted in the shared secret you setup with the trust.)
The second TGT is then used against Domain_A to get service tickets for
services in Domain_A.

AT THE MOVIES; Into Summer With a Roar
By Rick Lyman
Published: May 25, 2001
HOLLYWOOD, May 24— Josh Hartnett had the cell phone pressed tightly to his ear as he tried to hear over the roar of wind and machinery. ''I'm standing on the flight deck of the ship, and there's all sorts of stuff going on,'' he yelled into the phone. ''It's really amazing.''
Mr. Hartnett, 22, is appearing in ''Pearl Harbor,'' one of the biggest movies of the summer, playing one corner of a romantic triangle (with Ben Affleck and Kate Beckinsale) that carries the story from rural Tennessee to the skies over Europe to the Japanese attack on Oahu to the retaliatory air raid on Tokyo.
It was for the gala premiere of the film -- aboard the aircraft carrier John C. Stennis in Pearl Harbor, within sight of the memorials to those who fell on Dec. 7, 1941 -- that he found himself standing amid bleachers, a giant movie screen, scrambling workers and hundreds of eager sailors.
What would a summer movie season be without a little stunt marketing? And with the opening of ''Pearl Harbor'' on Friday in more than 3,000 theaters (review, page 1 of Weekend), the summer movie season is now officially open.
That's just for the purists, though. The trend of the last decade or so has been an earlier and earlier start for the lucrative summer season. Now it is common for popcorn films to begin appearing in theaters in early May, sometimes even late April, trying to cash in on the pent-up desires of a blockbuster-starved audience.
This year's movie season kicked off May 4, with the release of ''The Mummy Returns,'' a special-effects-filled sequel to the 1999 horror-adventure hybrid. The new installment earned $68.1 million in its first weekend, a record for a film that did not open on a holiday weekend. On May 11 ''A Knight's Tale,'' a mix of medieval action and rock music, opened to solid if not quite so spectacular business. And just last week the computer-animated ''Shrek''' earned $42.3 million in its first weekend, a record opening for its studio, DreamWorks.
And now ''Pearl Harbor,'' the most eagerly anticipated of the early summer films, makes its debut amid pre-release polling numbers that could signal an all-time record opening, although that is made less likely by its nearly three-hour running time, which limits the number of showings a day in theaters.
''I just saw it for the first time with an audience last night,'' Mr. Hartnett said. ''It seemed to go really well. I don't know. I'm pretty nervous about the whole thing. I liked the movie a lot. I was kind of surprised how much I liked it, really. I never expect everything I'm in to turn out well.''
''After the screening,'' he added, ''a lot of the military guys were coming up saying it was great and how much they liked it, which made me feel pretty good.''
He was less than a year out of high school and attending the State University of New York's Purchase College when he landed his first important role, a supporting part on a gone-in-a-flash television series called ''Crackers.'' A year later he was starring in his first movie, ''Halloween: H2O.''
Now he is at work playing another soldier, this time for the director Ridley Scott in an adaptation of ''Black Hawk Down: A Story of Modern War,'' Mark Bowden's best-selling account of the doomed 1992 mission involving American soldiers in Somalia. That film is due later this year. But Mr. Hartnett said he was not too concerned about being typecast as a tough-guy soldier.
''The two movies couldn't be more different,'' he said. ''In 'Black Hawk Down' we're doing a kind of docudrama with more of an ensemble cast. It's very, very realistic and gritty. 'Pearl Harbor' is more of a 1940's-style sweeping epic with a romantic story.''
In between the two, Mr. Hartnett said, he made a small romantic comedy called ''40 Days and 40 Nights,'' about a man who vows to give up sex for Lent and then meets the woman of his dreams.
''One of the main reasons that I made two military movies so close to one another is that at the moment, for whatever reason, they're pretty much making all military movies in Hollywood,'' he said. ''You just have to take your pick among them.''
Revisionist History
Word that Disney would release a somewhat different version of ''Pearl Harbor'' in Japan and Germany from the one that is opening in the United States has stirred all sorts of speculation about what those differences will be.
''I am going to be very careful here,'' said Peter Schneider, chairman of Walt Disney Studios. ''There are probably three very minor changes, which you would not notice.''
Those changes, Mr. Schneider said, have to do with the use of the term Jap in the film. It is used once or twice more often in the American version than in the Japanese version, and in one reference to ''dirty Japs'' the adjective has been deleted for the Japanese version.
Minor alterations in foreign versions of Hollywood films are uncommon, though normally they occur for reasons of clarity, not to avoid offending the sensibilities of overseas audiences. (In the closing voice-over monologue in ''Pearl Harbor,'' for instance, the American nurse played by Ms. Beckinsale talks about the impact of the attack on ''us''; this is changed to ''Americans'' in the Japanese version.)

Cars Coming Soon: Smaller, Cheaper Land Rovers and the Jaguar F-Type
Tata's been busy.
The Indian company that purchased Jaguar and Land Rover has effectively made over the entire Jaguar line and injected new life into Land Rover.
While the biggest changes came in the cars from Coventry, the Land Rover Evoque effectively changed the game for luxury crossover vehicles.
Tata's next evolution of its British brands will include the Jaguar F-Type and, possibly, a lower-cost, smaller version of the Evoque.
