"The hotel location is 15 minute walk from the zurich lake and 20 minute walk from Bahnhofstrasse in a very nice and calm area without any noise. It cost 70 CHF for us to get there by airport Taxi but it was so easy to get there by train because it is only 10 minute walk from Enge railway station."

Things to do in Enge
Bordering Zurich Old Town and its abundance of attractions to the east, Enge still has plenty of its own to offer. Enjoy Lake Zurich all year round at its lakeside facilities, which are less crowded in summer than the eastern "Gold Coast." Mythenquai is a sandy beach that is great for families, providing games, barbeques, and shallow bathing for non-swimmers. Seebad has similar daytime facilities before transforming into a cozy lakeside bar in the evening—and when winter sets in, head indoors for a sauna and massage. Once refreshed and relaxed, head inland to a real gem of Zurich: Museum Rietberg. Switzerland's only museum of non-European art, it houses the stunning collection of Baron Eduard von der Heydt with artifacts from America, Asia, Africa, and Oceania. A free attraction with rave reviews is the Succulent Plant Collection Zurich, which houses one of Europe's largest displays of cacti and dry-climate plants.

The selected Orange quarterback Ryan Nassib who spent the season with the Giants' reserves, three rounds later."Bromley went to a great school, played defensive tackle and had 10 sacks, which is really interesting when you stop and think he's a kid playing basically a three technique (defensive tackle) who has 10 sacks," said Coughlin, a running back for the Orange (1965-67) who played in the same backfield with NFL Hall of Famer Floyd Little and ex-Giant Larry Csonka."I thought they were joking when I got the call," said Bromley, who was with the Giants draft picks and rookie signings this week at rookie camp. "Imagine, my home team, my favorite team, Big Blue."The call was a total surprise because Bromley thought he wouldn't go until a later round.Giants general manager Jerry Reese has high hopes for Bromley, who grew up with his grandmother in Flushing, Queens, where he was on the verge of quitting school and taking to the streets.Now he's on his wway to the NFL with a promising future ahead of him."He's big, has got two-gap ability, can stand in there and hold the point of attack," Reese said after the draft. "He has speed, ran 4.9 at the combine and can get up the field and finish on the quarterback.

Has anyone who had VCI ever had to have their placenta manually removed? I just saw a diff OB today who was stressing the idea of me getting an epi for labor in case it comes down to the removal of the placenta because it is so painful. I really really do not want an epi, so I'm trying to see if I can find someone who has had this before and what your experience was.
Manual removal of placenta?
Posted 11/27/2012
I am SO glad to hear that your little guy is here and doing well. 8 lbs 14 oz is nice and healthy:) What did you name him? It sounds like it was quite a day for you but I am so glad that he was delivered safely, that you were able to avoid an epi, and that the removal of the placenta (s) went well. How amazing that you had 2 placentas and that instead of his cord being vulnerable, it was extra thick. Congratulations to you and your family:)

Thank you! It was a miracle for sure! We named him Titus. The day was actually pretty good. I'd say it was fairly easy. Until I hit active labor and progressed so quickly, but that made it over that much sooner.

soooo cool, i could get my mom to get it for me since it could go with my room theme. if you don't mind me asking, how much are you asking for it?
Wow, you are amazing. I always wanted to be able to make things like that, but I'm plauged with chronic doing-things-halfway-atocis.
These journals are so groovy: I would buy one but it would be a poor invstment sicne I wouldn't want to write in it and mar the beauty of the unspoiled (unspoilt???) pages LOL
Beautiful!! I wish i could afford it now.
Dammit. Dammit. I need something like that! Great, just great!
Would you be willing to create a steampunk-like journal if the client provided a journal for you to design on?
sure thing! But I expect the customer to pay shipping both ways :3
Obviously. XD. Just wondering though. I have some rather unique journals that are sold around here that you can put to the test.
I would buy this right now if I had some freakin money in my paypal. Too bad it takes forever for money to go through if you're living in Canada.
I would totally buy it, but I'd probably be too in awe of it to actually use it. And I have so many journals already.
Ahh! That's so awesome! I love stuff like this, but this is just way beyond anything I've ever seen. It's like the perfect combination of everything!
Oh Marty, i wish i had the money to fund you and your feetyfish, not to mention have a kick ass journal for all of my note-taking and time-traveling needs. D:
I'm not sure what's a good word to describe this. Elegant? Intricate? Fine? I don't know, you get the idea. (;

Peeke's Points: One Point Better
Thursday, 10.30.2008 / 9:06 AM ET / Blogs
Florida Panthers
|Panthers Blogger Cliff Peeke
A Michigan native who's played hockey (admittedly average at best) most of his life, Cliff grew up watching Red Wings games at the old Olympia Stadium. His allegiance changed to the Panthers the moment it was announced South Florida would have a team.
Cliff has played in adult leagues at IncredibleIce and his oldest son (age 25) plays there as well. His youngest son (age 9) is a member of the Jr. Panthers '98 Squirt Travel Team.
Peeke's Points Archive
After eight games, the Panthers are only one point better than Tampa Bay and are looking upwards in the standings. Getting a little itchy fellow fans?????
New Panther coach DeBoer was well aware when he took the job of the importance of getting off to the strong start. Had to be. Sure I like the system and the style of play this year's Panthers are playing… more exciting. However, I'd exchange that for Minnesota's plodding style (often without Gaborik) and points (13 after 8 games). Am I being a little over-anxious so early in the season?
See, I don't think so. And that's why I'm not happy we lost in St. Louis. Forget the excuses (so many games in so few nights… injuries, etc), other teams struggle just the same. We went up against the number three goalie for the Blues and barely challenged him. We looked like we were skating half-speed… it was basically an ugly game to watch. And that occurred 24 hours after one of the more exciting games to watch as we defeated San Jose in a nail-biter. You may recall that's the game DeBoer proved me wrong, starting Vokoun over Anderson (and Vokoun really steps up).
After tonight's game at home against the Senators, we go on the road for five games. So… that puts tremendous pressure on this team to win tonight against the… guess who… Alex Auld in-the-net Senators. Between now and the end of November, the Panthers play 15 games. Twenty-three games in at that point and their season will be defined… being chased or looking up. That's why TONIGHT'S GAME and EVERY GAME IN NOVEMBER is so important. That's why I'm angry at the effort in the St. Louis loss. That's why I'm getting a little "itchy".
After nine years of futility, no excuse will work this season. Figure it out… get a win tonight and kick some ass on the road. Predictions for tonight's game… if we play with playoff-like intensity it's a Panthers 4-1 victory. If not, we lose 5-2. Two points are huge tonight… we need some separation from the woeful Lightning… just do it.

FALL RIVER — State Rep. David Sullivan, D-Fall River, plans to leave the Legislature after finalizing the contract for his new position as director of the city's Housing Authority and at least one candidate has already announced he will seek the seat.
"There's a strong likelihood that I'm moving in that direction," Sullivan said Tuesday when asked if he was leaving the Legislature soon. Sullivan's resignation would likely prompt the House to schedule a special election to find a successor, the State House News Service reported Tuesday.
Fall River City Councilor Dave Dennis, meanwhile, announced Tuesday that he would run for Sullivan's seat in the 6th Bristol District, which includes parts of the city, Berkley and Freetown.
"I already have strong relationships in Boston, including with our new congressional and state delegations, and that's a big distinction," Dennis said in a statement.
Sullivan, state representative since he won a special election in 1997, said he had been told it could take "a week and a half to two weeks" to finish negotiating the contract. The position's starting salary will be $115,000, almost double the base pay for a state representative, outgoing executive director Thomas Collins Jr. told the State House News Service.
Collins said he expected the board to ratify a contract with Sullivan following negotiations over terms.
The Fall River Housing Authority board voted 3-1 Monday night to hire Sullivan over three other finalists.
Roger Tache, who cast the lone "no" vote, called the procedure "a dog-and-pony show," saying that Sullivan was hired due to his political connections and that the other finalists were more qualified. The others were Fall River Housing Authority facilities management director Peter Proulx, City Attorney David Berube and Cathy Ann Viveiros, a former city councilor, State House News Service reported.
"Certainly, I'm going to watch his actions very carefully; make sure he tows the line," Tache said.

Politicians Do Not Deserve Privacy
The right to privacy is enshrined in constitutions and law around the world. But does it have limits? The United States Constitution does not provide for any general right to privacy, though it is a right recognized with varying degrees of power in federal and state laws. Politicians frequently claim this right, contending that the public has no right to know about their private affairs. Is that a fair request?

NYC Department of Health and Mental Hygiene created a pamphlet which contains 10 tips for safer use of intravenous drugs. Hopefully such instructions are not needed but lets be realistic. For many drug abused people this can be a important source of information. The pamphlet consists of ten tips and here they are: 1. Prevent overdose, 2. Treat overdose, 3. Don't share, 4. Use new syringes, 5. Prepare drugs carefully, 6. Take care of your veins, 7. Know you HIV status, 8. Get tested and treated for hepatitis, 9. Get help for depression, 10. Ask for help to stop using

BRAZIL is today mourning the injury to Neymar, who's been ruled out of the World Cup with a back injury, while captain Thiago Silva is suspended.
Coach Phil Scolari will spend the next few days deciding on replacements for his two most important players after Brazil beat Colombia 2-1 in the quarter-finals, but yesterday he blew up about the tackle that led to Neymar's injury.
A visibly hurt Neymar was stretchered off and straight into the rooms after a heavy challenge from Colombia defender Juan Zuniga, who planted is knee in the star's back with just two minutes left.
Brazil's team doctor confirmed hours after the final whistle that the 22-year-old had fractured a vertebra in his back.
Scolari was vocal leading into the clash, calling for his side to be more physical while demanding more protection of his star player after the second round win over Chile.
He raged after yesterday's win with referee Carlos Velasdco Carballo showing leniency throughout the heated clash.
"Not even a yellow card, nothing,'' Scolari fumed after the game.
"People think Germany, these or the others, only they are hunted but not Neymar.
"Neymar was going to be hunted. For three matches that has been happening."
Zuniga pleaded his innocence after the game, which was Colombia's best ever World Cup placing.
"I never meant to hurt a player,'' Zuniga said.
"I was playing for the shirt from my country, not with the intent to injure. I was just defending my shirt."
Colombian wonderkid James Rodriguez was inconsolable after the game and struggled to get involved, with Brazil's defence adopting physical tactics on him, but he managed to shoot ahead in the race for the golden boot by scoring his sixth.
His 80th minute penalty drew Colombia within a goal after Thiago Silva put the hosts ahead after seven minutes _ the quickest goal of the World Cup _ before Luiz scored an unbelievable free-kick, with his in-step, akin to the ones former Chelsea teammate Didier Drogba hits.
Colombia coach Jose Pekerman was proud of his players, who were without star striker Falcao (knee) for the tournament.
"After being absent from the tournament for a long time we showed that we came here to play well, not just to participate.
"Brazil needed the victory, every play there was a lot of intensity. That interrupted the game and we lost fluidity because of that intensity."
Brazil meets Germany in Wednesday's semi-final in Belo Horizonte, with the Europeans buoyed after their 1-0 win over France in Rio de Janeiro.
Defender Mats Hummels outmuscled Varena to glance Real Madrid-bound Toni Kroos' perfectly weighted free-kick into the net via the underside of the crossbar.
It's the 10th time Germany have reached the semi-finals in 13 World Cups, while Brazil are unbeaten in 41 home games _ their last defeat coming against Paraguay in August 2002.

What will it be called? LibreDora (like MythDora)? It seems like a lot of
Fedora spins are born every day *and* gain presence. Remember that Kubuntu and
Xubuntu started as non-Canonical-associated projects, AFAIK, so every small
project can be the beginning of a beautiful relationship. Red Hat is also
supposed to enter (properly) the desktop market shortly. Vista has just opened
the door too widely for this. Everyone will capitalise on this opportunity and
Apple is not alone.
Microsoft tries to expand in other areas (e.g. portable media players, HPC),
but only if its goal is to grab a 1% market share after **huge** investments,
then it's 'successful'.

BENTON -- In just their first two games of the season, the Sikeston Bulldogs have combined for 20 hits and 18 runs as a team. That's something that designated hitter Nathan Rodgers and the rest of the Bulldogs know will take them a long way.
"Coach Self has put together a real nice lineup," Rodgers said. "We got contact sticks, power sticks and what we want to do is keep the ball between the lines. We want to make the fielders field the ball, put the ball in play and make them work. As you can see we scored runs."
Rodgers led the Bulldogs with a 3-hit performance on Wednesday afternoon in their 13-0 win over the Kelly Hawks at Kelly High School.
"It's coming in nice," Rodgers said about his early hitting streak. "No one's thrown hard enough to blow it by us but, you just have to put the bat on the ball. Make them field the ball. That's key."
The Bulldogs were lifted by four frames of scoreless pitching by starter Trent McMillan. McMillan threw four of the five innings and allowed three hits and five walks. He also struck out five batters on a total of 81 pitches for the day.
Although he had his share of control issues at times, McMillan found a way to either coax the third out he needed to end the Hawk's threat.
"Trent struggled a little bit on the mound with his control," Sikeston head coach Kevin Self said. "He has a tendency to do that but, for the most part, I thought he did fine. I thought he threw the ball okay."
Sikeston's starter stranded six Kelly runners in scoring position including three left standing on third base.
"That's what we need," said Rodgers. "We need pitchers that can get up there and throw strikes. He got in a little trouble with the bases loaded a couple of times, but the defense helped us out. That's great to have good pitchers."
Rodgers, who has five hits including two doubles already this season, drove in the game's first run with a rope through the middle of the infield that scored courtesy runner Luke Keefer from second base. Keefer was running for catcher Jason Isaacs who singled earlier in the inning.
The Bulldogs, who had 11 hits on the day, posted three runs in the first inning all with two outs against Kelly starter Ian Householder. Householder threw 35 pitches in the first inning.
"The first inning we went two up, two down but, I feel like we won't give up with two outs," Self said. "Some teams kind of mail it in after that. I felt like we didn't and we got opportunities."
An inning later, Sikeston put up three more runs against Householder, who was tagged for 11 runs, seven earned, on 10 hits and four walks. Blake Newman hit a two RBI double into right-centerfield plating Tyler Anderson and Keefer. Rodgers added the Bulldog's sixth run of the day with a sacrifice fly to left field.
After their only scoreless frame, Sikeston poured on five runs in the fourth inning on four hits. McMillan drove in two with a single up the middle while Drew Harper, Anderson and Isaacs added one RBI as well.
"When we had opportunities we drove them in for the most part," Self said. "We did some things at the plate with runners in scoring position that you've got to do. We got to score those runs."
Feeling the jitters that comes along with opening day, the Hawks mustered three hits which were all singles. Dustin Crowden, Sawyer Elfrink and Shawn Heuring gave Kelly their three hits at the dish.
"They even told me after the game they had jitters," Wills said. "When we're playing as many young kids as we are I knew it was going to be like that and it's going to be like that early. Right now, we just need time on the field.
"The good news is, this is game one and it's not happening in game 16."
Isaacs added two hits, both singles, and one RBI for Sikeston while five other players added one hit for the Bulldogs.
"For the most I was proud of the way we played," said Self. "I was proud of the way we bounced back and it felt like we brought the same intensity that we did yesterday and that's what I was stressing. No matter who your playing, play Sikeston baseball. That's important."
Sikeston 330 52 -- 13
Kelly 000 00 -- 0
WP -- Trent McMillan (S). LP -- Ian Householder (K). Multiple hitters: SIKESTON -- Jason Isaacs 2, Nathan Rodgers 3. KELLY -- none. 2B -- Blake Newman (S), Rodgers (S).

Better Bind-off?
When I do the basic bind-off in stocking st, I don't like the way the edge rolls forward onto the right side. I really don't want that look for the finish, if I'm binding off at the neckline for a doll's sweater. I'd like that edge to sit right on top.
Is it something I'm doing wrong, or is there a knack to this, or - ? I've found it sits a little better if I alternate k & p, but that doesn't look especially neat.
Are there other bind-offs that work better, or is it me? :??
Thanks for any tips and help!
If it's stockinette that is just the nature of the beast. You can try binding off on the purl side. I don't know if it will help, but it looks nicer from that side sometimes anyway.
The only other idea is to knit a non curling border like garter or seed stitch.
It often takes more, but it can't hurt. Where is the edge? If its a hem on the bottom you may need more than a neck. Sometimes the edge will still fold along the edge between the border and stockinette. :zombie:
:). It happens.
If you can crochet, single crochet or crab stitch (sc worked backwards) might give you the edge you're looking for.
It won't stop stockinette from curling as it's the nature of the beast, but binding off in purl on the RS seems to work well for a flatter edge IME.
Becky & GG - Good tips, I'll experiment - thanks!

Code Schmode
David Klinghoffer is absolutely right ("Real Danger in Myth," May 19)! With one-third of Europeans believing that Sept. 11 was an Israeli conspiracy, Jews should protest vicious conspiracy theories, whether they apply to us or others. No one in history has been victimized by such theories more than us. Knowledge of this history, plus the great emphasis on lashon hara in our religion, should lead Jewish leaders to denounce this film in uncompromising terms, despite its feminist undertones.
Ronnie Lampert
Los Angeles
Klinghoffer's comparison to "The Protocols of the Elder of Zion" is beyond absurd. "The Protocols" were and are reprinted around the world and peddled as a historic document and have been used to incite the murder of tens of thousands of Jews. [Dan] Brown barely speaks in public, let alone incite mass riots and bloodshed.
Klinghoffer notes that the spread of gullibility is good news for anti-Semites and that for "people committed to finding the truth through investigation and argumentation it's worrisome."
How true.
Hopefully it's two strikes and out for Klinghoffer's mendacious journalism and his wacky theories, and readers of The Jewish Journal will never again see his byline.
Susan Ehrman
Manhattan Beach
If, as David Klinghoffer asserts, the book has made some people think more about religion, isn't that a good thing? Maybe they'll be interested enough to ask questions of their clergy, or enroll in a class. Klinghoffer states that author Dan Brown is "maligning" the Catholic Church. Is that really Brown's intention? After all, he didn't publish a tract or a scholarly journal. He didn't nail the manuscript to the door of any church.
Let's not get stuck chasing ghosts while real dangers still threaten.
Rick Fleishman
David Klinghoffer warns in your May 19 issue that "The Da Vinci Code," in book and now movie form, may reinforce the conspiratorial mindedness that also manifests itself in anti-Semitic hatred -- notably, in continuing belief in the notorious "Protocols of the Elders of Zion" ("Real Danger in Myth," May 19).
In the 1960s, at the height of Christian and Jewish cooperation in the moral crusade for civil rights, sociologists Charles Y. Glock and Rodney Stark "were entirely unprepared to find the religious roots of anti-Semitism so widespread in modern society." Not much had changed by 2002 when a Gallup poll concluded that "the Christ-killer charge remains pervasive" on the basis of finding that 37 percent of American young adults still hold Jews responsible for Jesus' death.
An apologist for Gibson's gory, gratuitously anti-Jewish cinematic version of the Gospels, Klinghoffer may consider such recent polling data as ancient history. I profoundly disagree. The scapegoat of Jews as "Christ killers" remains the poisonous taproot of all later anti-Semitic conspiracy mongering including that in Iran and the rest of the Muslim world.

Spiritual Headliners
I confess I was a bit nervous when I saw the headline and photo on the recent visit of two leading Orthodox rabbis (gedolim) from Israel, Rabbi Aharon Leib Steinman and the Gerrer Rebbe ("Spiritual Headliners," May 19). I was worried how people not from our "world" might perceive all the fuss over these two dressed-in-black elderly gentlemen.
My concern was put to rest once I read Amy Klein's lovely article. In a very positive way, she captured the excitement and inspiration that was experienced by so many who attended the event. For me, the most inspiring part of the event was to look out and see the sea of attendees from all different stripes of the Orthodox world -- from black hat to knitted kippa -- coming together to pay respect to two living embodiments of our Torah. It restored my faith in our community as a bastion of Torah lovers, and it was a true kiddush Hashem (sanctification of God).
Thanks for printing such a nice article about our community. Amy, you done good.

$61.8 Billion
Thanks a lot Rob Eshman! I know the intention of your editorial ("$61.8 Billion," May 19) was to promote greater philanthropy by the wealthy, but it really preached to the anti-Semitic choir. The primary reason for anti-Semitism is jealousy: so much money and power in the hands of so few.
Martin J. Weisman
Westlake Village
You are right "on the money" (pardon the pun) in your analysis and the estimate that I tell (and sometimes shock) my prospects with, is the fact that, out of the total amount of the philanthropy of Jewish donors, more than 80 percent goes to non-Jewish causes. If I could change this dynamic to only 75 percent, then a huge amount of money would flow to these causes.
While I totally agree with your comments about our local Jewish community needs, there was one area that you failed to mention. What I looked for, and did not find in your article, is the fact that so little of Jewish philanthropy goes to Israel. Some might argue that Israel's economy is growing and that it does not need this money so desperately anymore. But knowing the Israeli situation as I do -- with, for example, over 20 percent of the budget for higher education having to be cut over past two to three years because of the need for greater defense and other spending, and the ever-increasing gap in earnings of the average Israeli, support for important Israeli causes should be included in a donor's priorities.

What a breath of fresh air it was to read Wendy Mogel's article ("Mom: Resist Your Urge to Kill Your Teenager...," May 12) For those of us living on the Westside with teenage girls, where can we turn for support now? It is hard when you are "the only parent who says no." There are Mommy and Me groups at temples, but after that we are on our own. The problems and issues seem to get larger over the years as our daughters are living in an increasingly complex world and are exposed to more at earlier ages. Any suggestions?
Marilyn Stern
Israel Politics
I appreciated the piece Orit Arfa wrote, but I do not "defend the state" at all ("Blue 'Oranges,'" May 12). Certainly we must have Israel as a Jewish state, but I in no way defend what the government did, and continues to do to the precious Jews of Gush Katif. It is a great tragedy that cries out to be repaired, for the sake of all the Jewish people.
Joshua Spiegelman
Miss Israel
Unlike the writer of the "Miss Israel" letter (Letters, May 19), I thought the picture of the young woman on the cover of the May 5 issue was quite tasteful. She was dressed in a manner that was tasteful and completely acceptable in today's society.
Ruth E. Giller
I was somewhat taken aback by Barbara Sommer's letter in the May 19 issue of The Journal in which she stated how pleased she was with Steven Spielberg for bringing a piece of history to the screen. In her words "it needed to be documented on film." Perhaps she did not know that this was a fictionalized account of that event in which a little fact was mixed in with a lot of the screenwriter's inventions. This is not simply my opinion. In an article on the op-ed page of the Los Angeles Times, Tony Kushner, who wrote the screenplay, admitted it was fictionalized. It is also important to note that none of the agents who actually took part in the operation were consulted or used as sources of information. If people wish to be powerfully moved by fiction and Hollywood contrivances, fine with me. Just don't try to pass it off as fact.

In the May 19 "Seven Days in the Arts," photographer Eddie Friedman is not a high school teacher. His official title is dean of student affairs at Shalhevet High School. The photos mostly originated from a program under Shalhevet's auspices. n
"We came here to be a free people in our own land" -- so says the most famous Israeli novelist, Amos Oz ("Disengagement Dashes, Spurs Dreams," May 19)."To be a free people means," he so reasons "each person is entitled to choose which parts of Jewish tradition are important to him and which to leave behind." (My italics).
God of [Prophet] Amos!
Dear Amos! Disregarding the Torah, all Israelis must "leave our land and take your dead bones with you" as [Mahmoud] Darwish says.
1) You came? By what right? History? Peh! If so, Italy can claim half of the world.
2) Choosing parts of religion? Yeah, I have chosen to be faithful to my wife four hours a day, every day!
3) God's commandments are traditions?
4) Do we set the priorities for heaven?
5) Was Israel "an occupying, uprooting, exploiting, settling, expropriating, humiliating, discriminating country" in May 1948?

Code Schmode
Why, in a city and country full of knowledgeable Jews able to write effectively on the meaning of "The Da Vinci Code" for Jews, would The Journal assign it to David Klinghoffer -- who, his Web site tells us, is a senior fellow at The Discovery Institute?
The Discovery Institute, as every schoolchild knows, is the very Vatican of anti-evolutionary "studies," the galactic headquarters for those "scholars" responsible for the promotion of the scientific, intellectual and social hoax known an "intelligent design." The institute is as committed to "discovery" as a convention of vegans is to devising new and interesting recipes for chili.
Klinghoffer's thesis in the piece -- that Dan Brown's novel and "The Protocols of the Elders of Zion" are similar in their purported revelation of mystery, and in their inspirational effects on the credulous and the bigoted -- is mildly interesting. He should have restricted the article to that.
Instead, he goes on to write, presumably with a straight face, "Today, Americans and others will accept dubious beliefs simply because they tickle their fancy, or because those beliefs appeal to an increasingly influential anti-religious impulse.... Such a world stands in peril of succumbing to all manner of untruths, from the benign to the deadly. Like other intellectual and physical capacities, the ability to distinguish fact from fancy needs to be exercised to remain strong...For anti-Semites and other conspiracy theorists, the gullibility of Americans is welcome news. For people committed to finding the truth through investigation and argumentation, it's worrisome."
Never mind Klinghoffer's repetition of the one of the dumbbell right's favorite (and most luxuriantly self-pitying) talking points, namely the suggestion that the world is imperiled by "an increasingly influential anti-religious impulse." Klinghoffer can no doubt write at length about how badly "people of faith" have it in this country, and I'll be happy to read it -- provided I can distract myself from the daily flood of news concerning the violence, repression, terrorism, and corruption perpetrated by people whose beliefs display an increasingly influential pro-religious impulse.
Meanwhile, let's get straight something that should not require mentioning: The Discovery Institute is precisely the place where "people committed to finding the truth through investigation" are not welcome, not honored, not heeded, and not respected. It is, rather, a Holy of Holies for people whose "fancy" consists in negating Darwin and the tens of thousands of scientists who followed him, in favor of a medieval biblical literalness that any self-respecting 10-year-old would, and should, be proud to see through.
A senior fellow at such a place is not qualified to lecture anyone, least of all the readers of The Journal, about "the ability to distinguish fact from fancy." If Klinghoffer agrees with the principles of the Discovery Institute, he should not have been asked to write the article.
If he doesn't, what is he doing there? Now that's worrisome.

"Duets" – Money Lessons from Singing Superstars
4 Comments |
The premiere of "Duets" on ABC showed that even we regular folk can sing with the likes of John Legend, Robin Thicke, Jennifer Nettles and Kelly Clarkson.
Here's how the new music competition works: Each star chooses two singing partners—protégés they hope to mold into music's next big thing. The celebrity artists perform duets with their amateur partners while the other three stars sit as judges. At the end of the season, one lucky winner gets a recording contract with Hollywood Records.
Not only does "Duets" satiate the hardcore singing competition reality show fans (they're out there, and they're bloodthirsty), but it also shows how successful you can be when you don't go it alone. Let's take a look at a few "two is better than one" benefits, learned from ABC's new reality show.
Newfound Strength
Sure, the amateur singers aren't as strong vocally as the superstars on "Duets," but it's hard to tell when they sing alongside their idols. The same is true for many aspects of life: If you partner with someone stronger than yourself, you'll become stronger.
For instance, if you're a spender and your best friend is a saver, you could learn to curb your spending and save more money that you would if you were on your own.
Each celebrity singer on "Duets" represents a different genre of music, and they've chosen protégés to mentor and guide in that genre. These new singers will gain some great training along the way, and learn to hone in on one style of music, instead of staying amateurish in several.
Getting a financial advisor can be a great way to figure out where you need focus. Instead of trying to improve every part of your money life at once, an advisor can give you one big goal to strive for. Use Jeff Rose's tips on How to Choose the Best Financial Advisor/Planner for You.
After each performance, the judges give encouraging, helpful feedback. When Legend sang "Ordinary People" with his partner Johnny Gray, Thicke complimented the new singer's connection with the lyrics, and Clarkson gave the amateur singer kudos for his vulnerability during the song.
Sharing your money journey with friends and family is a great way to get encouragement and feedback along the way. In her blog post about "The Avengers," Jenna suggests getting friends to keep you accountable when you make a money goal or getting helpful advice at the Credit Advice Center .
Bottom Line: The next time you're feeling blue about finances or life in general, find a trustworthy friend to talk to. In more than just musical endeavors, two heads are always better than one.
