Quick Update
SUBMITTED: Saturday, July 26, 2014POSTED: Saturday, July 26, 2014
Shortly after I wrote this I emailed Safeway with a link to ripoff reports. They called us at 6 a.m. and had an adjustor out that day! We have since received a check along with a letter stating if mechanic finds further damage we should contact them.
Are you an owner, employee or ex-employee with either negative or positive information about the company or individual, or can you provide "insider information" on this company?

Someone insured through Safeway recently hit me. It was their fault, they admitted it, its in the police report. I have played phone tag, heard "someone will call you back," and then received a letter stating they "have a coverage issue with the policyholder." Really? But they can't tell me what the "issue" is, but it IS being investigated and presently they are unable to accept or admit any coverage. Basically, "fix it yourself." It shouldn't take 2+ weeks to verify if this person had coverage or not. Duped, was wondering if your complaint was ever resolved?

Our Aufruf
[Guest post by Sam Goodman]
I have fond memories of going to services as a youngster and looking forward to the weeks in which I could pelt young adults, the clergy, and innocent bystanders with tiny packages of hard candy. Not wanting to miss being on the receiving end of such a deluge, a few months back I mentioned to the Cantor at my synagogue, Monmouth Reform Temple (MRT), that Anne and I would like to have an aufruf. This is a custom during which the bride and groom – or, in more traditional synagogues, just the groom – are called up for an Aliyah, and the Torah is read in their honor.
Scheduling our aufruf posed a bit of a challenge. Traditionally, the aufruf takes place during Shabbat services prior to the wedding. However, our rehearsal dinner takes place on that Friday, outside of Philadelphia. The Shabbat prior to that coincides with Yom Kippur, and celebrating with candy is not the best way to observe a solemn fast.
We also wanted to make sure our aufruf date aligned with an appropriate Torah portion. Our wedding occurs the week prior to
However, we hadn't cleared all hurdles yet. A significant proportion of the families at MRT are interfaith, and over the past year, the Rituals & Practices Committee has discussed what activities on the bimah are permitted to the members of the congregation who are not Jewish. Also, they are charged with awarding honors for aliyot, lighting candles, and Kiddush on Friday nights. I happen to sit on this committee. A few weeks ago, the person responsible for managing these honors for the month of September asked if anyone would be interested. I asked if my parents could do the candle and Kiddush blessings for the night of our aufruf. My mother is a practicing Christian, and some congregations do not permit those who are not Jewish to say the blessings over the candles. Also, neither of my parents are members of MRT, though they do belong to a Reform synagogue in the Philadelphia area. Finally, Anne is not Jewish, and the committee had discussed in the past whether it was permissible for members of the congregation who are not Jewish to be called to Torah for an aliyah. After raising these concerns, I opened the topic for discussion to the members of the Rituals & Practices Committee.
This kicked off a lively discussion. Our Cantor sent around a link to the recent article on Interfaith Family about how different synagogues approach candle lighting by with interfaith families. Ultimately, the committee agreed that my parents could light the candles and recite Kiddush, and that as long as I was with her and saying the Torah blessings, Anne could join me for the aliyah.
With this final hurdle cleared, it looks like September 12th will be a very Keefe/Goodman Shabbat at Monmouth Reform Temple! In case you have an itching to bean some soon-to-be newlyweds with candy, services start at 7PM.
Gender Equality in Wedding Planning
Last weekend, entering the meeting with our florist, my fiancé, my mother and father and I had the distinct impression it may have been the first time a groom entered this sacred bridal territory, as though he were alien to this particular planet.
We're five weeks out from our wedding. Life is truly insane. If InterfaithFamily did not have a mindfulness expert and three masseuses visit our staff retreat last week, I might have lost it by now. That, and having a fiancé who is actually planning our wedding with me. Shut the… I know, right? Let me repeat that: My fiancé, who is a dude, is planning our wedding alongside me. Times are a changing.
Marrying a person who cares about gender equality and feminism was important to me and now, seeing how my fiancé takes on the same roles in our relationship that I do (OK, he definitely does more heavy lifting, but most other things we share!), I'm thankful that I fell in love with someone who doesn't treat marriage as a divvying up of "man stuff" and "woman stuff." No matter how society might try to box us in–yes, even in 2014–we believe in a partnership where we seamlessly pitch in wherever needed.
Of course we're in the honeymoon stage of our lives right now. I know neither of us are perfect and there may come a time when one or the other of us gets frustrated beyond belief. We're human. But people say if you can get through wedding planning, you can get through whatever other challenges arise. Clearly, with the divorce rate in this country, that's not true.
But how many couples planning their weddings are actually doing it together? I have yet to speak to any other couple I know where the groom planned the wedding equally with the bride.
However, on this Wedding Blog, I've seen a lot more involvement from grooms than I see anywhere else. One of our wedding bloggers is male and it's obvious he's involved in every wedding detail, one of our other couples often includes a guest post by the groom, and the couple's blog that just wrapped up was co-written. Perhaps interfaith couples realize early on how much their wedding day is a reflection of their union and that it's important for both parties to be represented.
I'm not advocating that my fiancé get a medal for helping to plan his own wedding (though I am a bit biased and were there a medal to give, I would certainly give it to him). I think men should always help out with wedding planning—after all, it's YOUR wedding, and if you're in a heterosexual relationship, it's not your bride's wedding alone and it's certainly not her mother's. I realize that not everyone enjoys wedding planning, and after seeing how much work goes into it, I can fully understand that. Many women will disagree with my point of view. But unless you've hired a wedding planner, someone's got to do it and I say–it may as well be you.
If flowers or the venue are not your thing, find something that is: the rituals you will perform during your ceremony, the food you'll eat, song requests for the band or DJ, finding your officiant, your photographer, the list is long!
But the fact is, wedding planning has a long history of being the bride's domain. The old saying is, step out of the way and let her do what she wants. If the bride has big ideas and the groom is easy going, this may make sense. But that doesn't mean he can't be in the loop, help make some of the tougher decisions, and be there for whatever little tasks and errands and phone calls need to get done. And if the groom does have opinions, shouldn't he be allowed to voice them? Shouldn't he feel like the wedding represents him, too? Should he be silenced by an outdated idea that he doesn't get a say in his own wedding? I love that my fiancé is involved, but what if I wanted to just have it my way? Should I be shutting him out of one of the biggest days of our lives that represents our future partnership?
While I don't think my fiancé is doing anything that any other man couldn't or shouldn't also be doing, I happen to love planning our wedding together. I could NEVER do this myself, and taking for granted that he is going to make sure we pay all our bills on time, communicate with our vendors as needed, join me at all the meetings, make decisions together and keep track of our daily to-do list, is the kind of dependability I know he will have for the rest of our marriage. What a great experience to learn this before we get married!
We're going to be tackling challenges good and bad for the rest of our lives. We're a team, and we each want the other to succeed, to thrive, to be happy. This is why figuring out how to bring our friends and families together to celebrate with us as we express our love and commitment is such an important thing to do as a couple. We're learning that we don't always agree and how to compromise, how to prioritize what's important to us, how to handle finances and family members, religion and many other things. Maybe I just got lucky with my man, or maybe, given the chance, many other grooms would gladly lend their fiancé a hand and play an active part in their wedding planning.
Are you a groom helping to plan your wedding? Brides, is your groom helping you out, or would you rather he butt out? Sound off in the comments.
And just like that, we're married!
After all of the plans and preparations, the big day came and went without a hitch! We had glorious weather, the ceremony was everything that we wanted it to be, and the reception was an absolute blast. We had people from both sides tearing up the dance floor until midnight. We ended the night exhausted, our sides and cheeks hurting from a day spent laughing and grinning ear-to-ear.
We arrived in Worcester on Tuesday night, which really allowed us to take a more relaxed approach to last-minute preparations. There were the table numbers to finish up, the seating chart to arrange, welcome bags to assemble, and yard work to be done, not to mention being here for the tent and bathroom installation. Things went quite smoothly for the most part.
On Wednesday morning Dana's mom, Kathy, wanted to reveal the Chuppah. All along we knew it would include articles of clothing from both families but we had no idea what the finished product would look like. Kathy settled on a tree design using the clothing donations as the leaves of the tree. We must have sat for almost a full hour and looked at it, recognizing the articles and locating other items on the Chuppah. It was truly a spectacular final product that we will keep in our family for many many years.
We were bursting with excitement when Friday evening came around and the out-of-town guest began to arrive. The rehearsal went well and afterwards we gathered at a local restaurant for drinks and appetizers—a chance for our families to mingle and get to know each other before the big day. And—much to our surprise—an a cappella group had been hired to sing to us and Dana's grandparents, who are celebrating their 65th wedding anniversary in July.
On Saturday morning we woke up to a gorgeous sunny day. The ladies got their hair and make up done while the men slept in and spent the morning lounging. By 5 o'clock everything was in place and we were ready to start the show.
Dana walked down the aisle around 5:30 and the ceremony began. We started with a traditional Jewish blessing over the children given by both of our parents. Then we had a reading by Chris's uncle (a Jesuit priest), followed by our own version of the seven blessings read by friends and a poem read by Chris's sister. Afterwards we exchanged vows and rings, Chris stomped on the glass (twice—since he wasn't sure he had broken it the first time), we kissed, and then it was on to the party!
Now, three-weeks later, it's hard to remember all of the details from the reception but it truly was a magical day. Many people commented on how personal the ceremony was and how much they learned about both religions. The Horah may have been one of our favorite moments, when family and friends from both sides joined on the dance floor to dance around us and lift us in chairs. The joy that we were able to share with our friends and family was palpable during those few minutes, and everyone had a great time.
The morning after the wedding there was a brunch at the Pulda house, which was a great opportunity to catch up with our guests and spend time with those people we weren't able to see for long during the reception. It's funny, before the wedding everyone warned us how quickly the night would go, but I guess it's one of those things that you have to experience to believe. It truly flew by!
All in all, the wedding was a wonderful time and we considered it to be a beautiful fusion of both of our faiths. Our families and friends came together to celebrate us, our love, and the future we have before us. We consider it to be a bright future, and look forward to the joys and challenges of being an inter-faith couple and raising children with an appreciation for the rich heritage of both of our faith backgrounds.
Symbols and Rituals and Traditions. Oh my.
These last few months have been busy with dress fittings, selecting the menu, arranging the seating chart, creating the invitations, ordering the suits, and other wedding plans. Sam and I continually remind ourselves that the wedding is only one day and we should focus on preparing for a marriage. This lifelong commitment to each other begins at the wedding ceremony. With that in mind, we are trying to combine the rituals and symbols of both Judaism and Catholicism in our ceremony.
We specifically chose our priest and rabbi to not only co-officiate the ceremony, but also to guide us along this spiritual journey. The rabbi is someone very dear to Sam and the priest is the presider of my family's parish. These two special people have been a part of various life cycle events in Sam's and my life. They know us and our families very well, and we are honored that they will be officiating our marriage ceremony. The rabbi and priest continue to help us in the marriage preparations by proofing our ketubah language, assisting with Diocesan paperwork, and helping us with the order and symbols of the ceremony. In our first meeting with the priest, he gave us words of wisdom to keep in mind, throughout this entire process (and our lives): "Keep your own faith at heart, but do not minimize or trivialize the faith of the other."
If I were converting to Judaism, or Sam to Catholicism, we would have chosen a specific house of worship for our ceremony, such as a synagogue or church. Because we are not, we decided to have our ceremony in a country club, a "neutral" location. This way, both faiths are equally visible and our guests won't be uncomfortable in attending a wedding in another house of worship. By having our wedding on a Sunday afternoon, Sam and his family can still go to Shabbat services, and my family can go to early Sunday morning Mass.
Throughout the ceremony, we want to honor each other's faiths, focusing on the similarities, rather than the differences. We have asked my brother, Chris, and Sam's sister, Stacey, to help us explain the wedding rituals and symbols in each of our faiths at the start of the ceremony.
There are a few symbols that are used in both religions, such as bread, wine, rings, and most importantly, the vows. Sam and I will say the blessings over the bread and wine in our own respective religions. The priest and rabbi will guide us in exchanging our vows and rings.
We have adapted some rituals and symbols to be more conducive to an interfaith wedding. The chuppah is a symbol unfamiliar to my Catholic family, whereas the unity candle is a symbol unfamiliar to Sam's Jewish family. We will sign our ketubah during the ceremony rather than before it, honoring the Catholic tradition of the bride and groom not seeing each other beforehand. The traditional Jewish Seven Blessings will be said, with both fathers participating. At the end of the ceremony, we will break the glass. This has many meanings in the Jewish faith, but for the two of us, it will also symbolize the breaking down of barriers between people of different cultures and faiths as our families are now joined together.
By incorporating some Jewish and Catholic wedding rituals in our ceremony, we will signal to our friends and family our intent to continue practicing our religions. We hope that this public declaration of faith will communicate our plans to remain strong in faith while supporting our partner's religious practice.
Sam and I were discussing our ketubah (marriage contract) artwork and after much thought, we decided to ask Michelle to paint it for us. We looked at hundreds of designs online and most of the ketubot used trees because the Torah is referred to as the tree of life. We are comfortable using this imagery and would also like to incorporate the four seasons. After talking with Michelle she is combining these ideas into two trees of Spring and Summer reflecting the two trees of Fall and Winter to represent the years gone by and the years to come. We asked her to use chalk pastels in bright, bold colors to exude life and energy. Sam and I took what we liked from a lot of different designs and Michelle is combining all of our ideas together to create something uniquely for us.
Finding a scribe that would write interfaith text on a piece of someone else's art took some research. We found a scribe who belongs to the New York Society of Scribes and happened to be visiting Boston, near where Michelle lives. Michelle met with this scribe and together they picked out the paper that would be conducive for both her chalk pastels and his calligraphy ink. After much discussion, we realized that it would be better logistically for Michelle to do her artwork after he wrote both the Hebrew and English text.
Finding the text for the ketubah was more difficult. We looked at several texts and it was a lot easier to pick out the language we didn't like, than find something we both agreed upon. Sam wants the language to be more formal, in honoring the traditions of the past, whereas I would like the language to represent us both as equals. After going back and forth on text, nitpicking every word, we think we have finally agreed on some language but would like to get approval from our parents and Rabbi before the scribe begins his work.
Our goal is to get the text to the scribe by the end of this month, so he can create his calligraphy so Michelle has enough time to create her artwork. Our ketubah will be the most valuable piece of artwork in our home; therefore, we are being very diligent in crafting the language and design.
A Keefe Easter
I think the Passover/Easter combination is more difficult than Hanukkah/Christmas. This is because Easter most always falls within Passover. Over the past few years, Sam has celebrated Easter with my family: joining us for mass, taking part in the Easter egg hunt, and sitting down with us for our giant ham dinner.
Two years ago, a few months into our relationship, I invited Sam over for Easter at my parent's house. Not wanting to make a big fuss about his religion, I explained to my mom that Sam was Jewish. Mom told my sister, Michelle, who told my sister Carolyn, who told my brother Chris, and soon everyone knew that Sam was Jewish.
Sam and I attended Easter Sunday mass with the rest of the family. I spent the entire mass worrying about how uncomfortable Sam must have been. Later, he told me that he wasn't uncomfortable at all. He had gone with me to previous masses at my parish in New Jersey, which helped acclimate him to the flow of the mass.
After mass we had our annual Easter egg hunt. My siblings and I have a tendency to make a mess searching for eggs, whereas, Sam was being very careful looking for his egg behind books and under boxes. Upon finding his egg, he realized that he couldn't eat anything inside because the goodies weren't kosher for Passover.
Easter dinner came around and my sisters bombarded Sam with "Why can't you eat ham on Easter?" and "Are peeps kosher for Passover?" Sam fielded these questions like a champ! We had brought some kosher for Passover wine, but it had slipped my mind to tell everyone that it was specifically for Sam. The wine was poured and by the time the wine reached Sam, all the kosher for Passover wine was gone. We sat down to our usual Easter ham, rolls, corn, and potatoes. Thankfully my uncle brought over a small lamb. I think the only thing Sam ate that night was lamb and a potato.
Round Two. Last year, my mom and I worked really hard to make the entire meal kosher for Passover. I explained to her all the dietary restrictions. For the month leading up to Easter, I received calls with "Is this kosher for Passover?" or "Can Sam have that?" My mother experimented with matzo meal and potato starch for the first time in cooking all the Easter dishes and desserts.
During the Easter egg hunt, Sam had remembered some of the hiding places from the previous year and that was where he started looking. Once he found his egg, there were kosher for Passover macaroons inside!
My brother and father picked up some really good kosher for Passover wine which sparked some good conversations about keeping kosher. Dinner was served and my father said the prayers and then offered for Sam to say his blessing. Sam said the motzi in Hebrew and English. My dear old grandfather (who is hard of hearing) blurted out with "That's not Catholic!" It was at this moment that we told my grandfather that Sam wasn't Catholic. My dad responded with, "Yes, but everything he just said, you also believe in!" Since then Sam and my grandfather have had many conversations on religion, and have come to the conclusion that there is always more to talk about.
Looking back on last year, I think, making the entire meal kosher for Passover was too stressful for my mother. For Easter, a week ago, I provided the main course and desserts and gave my mom some specific sides to make.
Easter mass was very comfortable sitting alongside Sam and my family. After Mass, Sam even went up to the priest to talk to him. We have been meeting with this priest to plan our wedding ceremony, so he is getting to know Sam and I very well.
The infamous Easter egg hunt came around and after much searching Sam found his egg taped under the lampshade in replace of the light bulb! After an enjoyable egg hunt, dinner was served. Both my father and Sam said the blessing over the meal and everyone left pleasantly full. It took us three years, but I think we have finally found a routine in balancing Easter and Passover!
Passover Seder with Both Families
By Sam Goodman
Won't you help to sing / These songs of freedom?
We're currently in the middle of one of the most widely-observed Jewish holidays, Passover. One of the Shalosh Regalim, or three pilgrimage festivals (literally "three legs"), in ancient times Jews throughout the land of Israel would gather and make sacrifices at the Temple in Jerusalem. Passover celebrates the Exodus from Egypt, and is one of the few holidays mentioned in the Torah. In modern times, it is observed by abstaining from the consumption of items with leavening (e.g. bread, cake, beer), and with a festive meal on the first two evenings, which is called a seder.
When I was growing up, we would have the first night seder with extended family. Between grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins, and my nuclear family, there would be about fifteen of us crowded around the table, hearing Poppop recite the story of the Hebrews' exodus from Egypt. It was always fun running around with the cousins, searching for the afikomen, and staying up way past our normal bedtimes. We still meet at my uncle's place every year on the first night, and although lately we've had a couple faces missing from the table due to cousins living abroad, or away at college, usually at some point we would Skype them in. Also, as some of the older cousins have become involved in serious relationships, there have been new guests at the table – including, for the past three years, Anne.
The second night seder had a very different tone than the first night while I was growing up. My two sisters and I would each get to invite one friend, and beyond these three friends, it would just be our nuclear family at the table. We lived in an area that had very few Jews, so most of our school friends had never been to a seder before. At the beginning of this seder, we would start by explaining the symbols on the table – the matzah, different items on the seder plate, Elijah's cup, etc. Diana, my youngest sister, would start the explanation; Stacey, the middle child, would add things that Diana had forgotten, and provide additional layers of meaning behind the symbols; and I would continue with the things both sisters had left out.
This year, we invited Anne's parents and siblings to our second-night seder. As an added twist, my Dad had asked me a few weeks ago if I could lead our seder. My father, an accountant, was a *bit* exhausted by the night of the second seder, which fell this year on April 15th. After a few weeks of reviewing the haggadah and the Passover story, I had committed as much as I could to memory, and felt prepared for what was to come.
Anne and I arrived at my parents' house around 5:30, about half an hour before the seder was to begin. I wanted some time to settle in, and do some last-minute reviewing of my notes and the biblical Exodus story. Thanks to some heavy traffic on the Schuylkill Expressway, I ended up having quite a bit of extra time – Anne's brother Chris showed up around 6:15, and her parents and two youngest siblings didn't arrive until nearly 7PM. After some brief greetings, we sat down at the table, and the seder began.
We began with my retelling the story of the Exodus, beginning with Joseph's trials and tribulations, culminating in the arrival of the Hebrews in the Promised Land, and hitting all the major high points along the way. Unfortunately, due to my nerves, I ended up hitting many of the minor points as well, resulting in a retelling that felt as long as Cecil B DeMille's epic film. In reality it was probably only 15 minutes, but it felt much longer. At least nobody could say I missed anything important!
After my retelling was complete, we began reading from the haggadah. After the first cup of wine, my nerves (finally!) began to ease up. We went popcorn-style around the table, each person reading a paragraph. As we reached the Four Questions, we broke our order and had Theresa, Anne's youngest sibling, read them. We continued along, with Anne's parents and siblings asking questions as we went. What foods do we "dip", as mentioned in the Four Questions? What's the egg for? Why is the shank bone, rather than another part of the lamb, used to symbolize Passover offering? Is that really a lamb's shank bone, or just a chicken bone? When do we drink more wine? In some cases, the answers were literally on the next page of the haggadah, but I was able to field most other questions without significantly affecting the flow of the service.
Finally, it was time to eat the main meal. Anne had prepared eggplant dip, chopped liver, and potatoes, and my mom cooked up some beef brisket, chicken, and fruit kugel. Everything tasted delicious, though it certainly helped that we were having a very late dinner. Unfortunately, we weren't able to go through the post-meal portion of the seder due to a confluence of the delayed start time and Anne's youngest siblings' bedtimes (the following day was a school day, after all).
I'm certainly in no rush to lead my next seder, a responsibility I hope continues to be held by my healthy father and grandfather for many years. However, it was a lot of fun studying the details of the seder and the Passover holiday while preparing to lead it. Also, I'm extremely grateful that Anne's family is open to learning about the customs and holidays of my faith. While we certainly differ on quite a few theological matters, I appreciate that Anne's parents are willing to join my family for holiday celebrations. It displays both a confidence in their beliefs and an acceptance of my ability to practice my faith.
On a completely unrelated note, I listened to this song on repeat while writing this blog.
When did I know Sam was "the one"?
Just like all beginning relationships, I had plenty of questions. "Will he still like me if I eat three burgers for dinner?" "Will my parents and siblings like him?" "Will his parents and siblings like me?" "Will we get along with each other's friends?" "Will he be ok with my Catholicism?" At first, these questions bugged me. I had doubts that the relationship wouldn't last because we are so different. However, after talking it over with my friends, something clicked. Instead of focusing on the fact that we were different, I began to embrace it.
I started sharing my hobbies with Sam. When I was with Sam, I experienced things differently than when I was with my other friends. After going to the theater with my girlfriends, we would talk about the rehearsal process, technical elements, and cast and crew. Seeing the exact same show with Sam, we would talk about how we related to the characters and how the acting moved the story along. Sam also started sharing his love of concerts and brewing with me, and introduced me to Judaism.
I began going to synagogue with Sam a few months into our relationship, and it was confusing at first. The service was completely different from the Catholic Mass, and it didn't help that I didn't understand Hebrew. After attending a few more services with Sam, I started researching the holidays and cultures and began to find joy in the ways that the Jewish holidays could benefit me personally or spiritually. Creating a menu for Passover became an exciting search, between my friends and I, to experiment with different ingredients within the dietary restrictions mandated during the holiday.
Sam and I started turning activities into exciting adventures. Over the past two years we have attended numerous family holiday celebrations; the National Homebrew Conference, several beer festivals, numerous Synagogue events, Philadelphia Folk Festival, and other concerts; stewarded a mead (honey wine) competition; road tripped to Chicago (twice), Boston, and Minnesota; held a game marathon during the two-week black out of Super Storm Sandy; and celebrated a handful of friends' interfaith/intercultural weddings.
So when did I know that Sam was the "one"? The answer is three-fold:
The Perfect Veil
My mom gave me her wedding veil: a simple veil that she had made for her wedding. In my head, I had always wanted a veil, but I wasn't sure why. I didn't know if it was a religious symbol or a fashion statement. I also was unsure of the "proper" way to wear the veil. Does the size and shape matter? Wanting to discover more, I did a little research in what the veil means, in both Judaism and Christianity.
Before the wedding veil was introduced, Christian brides wore a crown of twigs to symbolize the sacrifices in marriage. Jesus, the Ultimate Sacrifice, wore a crown of thorns on the cross. The moment Jesus died, the veil between the Holy of Holies and the Inner Sanctuary of the Temple was torn. A veil was used to shield sacred things, such as a chalice, tabernacle, or consecrated hosts, "from the eyes of sinful men". When the Temple veil was torn, the separation between God and Man was removed, now anyone enter the Holy of Holies and come in direct communication with God. When the wedding veil is removed during the marriage ceremony, the Christian bride is entering in a direct communication with God through the sacrament of marriage.
During the wedding the bride and groom are in an elevated state and are closer to God, the veil gives them a little privacy and covers the light, which emanates from the bride. Wearing a veil to shield against Divine light is also referred to when Moses received the Commandments. He placed a veil over his face to talk to the people in order to filter the Divine glare. The veil is also a reminder of the Veil of the Virgin Mary and her meekness, humility, submission and obedience to God. The wedding veil acknowledges the bride's submission to her husband, as the head of the household.
Traditionally, a Jewish bride wears the veil until she meets the groom under the chuppah, thus displaying her complete willingness to enter into marriage and her absolute trust that she is marrying the right man. In arranged marriages, the bride wore a red or yellow veil to conceal her completely and the colors were thought to ward off the evil spirits. The veil covers her face completely until just before the end of the wedding ceremony, when they are legally married according to Jewish law, then the groom lifts the veil as a way of consummating the marriage. This act of unveiling is usually directly before "you may kiss the bride".
This unveiling of the bride has many reasons behind it. The most common reason is to make sure that the groom is marrying the right person. In Genesis, Jacob's father-in-law tricked him into marrying Leah instead of Rachel. When the groom lifts the veil, this is the first time, that he sees the bride and the veil symbolizes that the groom is marrying her for her inner beauty and her beauty is only reserved for the groom alone.
The shape and size of the veil has evolved over time. In the Victorian Era the weight, length and quality of the wedding veil was a sign of social status. The length of the veil also determined the location of marriage. A chapel veil was worn in smaller churches and the veil extended only two yards from the headpiece, where as a Cathedral veil flows for three and a half yards from the headpiece to be worn in a grand Cathedral. Modern veils are no longer a sign of social status, or purity but have become more of a fashion statement and a bridal accessory. Just like all of the other wedding decisions, modern brides can choose what they would like their veil to look like and symbolize.
To me, my veil represents the beauty of my mom, who I look up to and admire. It is also a symbol of my own Christianity and beginning my new life with a Jewish spouse.
The Whole Package
Sam and I couldn't be more different. Sam enjoys heavy metal rock music. I like classic rock, jazz, folk and NPR. Sam gets lost in each musical component- the percussion, the vocals, the guitar etc, whereas my music puts Sam to sleep. I use my music to cheer me up, get me going, and to keep me company at work.
I work in the event industry and my background is in arts management. Sam, on the other hand, works in pharmaceuticals and his background in engineering, physics, and computer science. Our backgrounds and training have taught us to think differently about problems, situations, and the world around us. Sam is very logical, he concludes that the fastest way from point A to B is a straight line and A plus B always equals C. My brain doesn't function that way. The fastest way from point A to B may not be the best way and A plus B may equal purple or square or dog.
Sam likes sleeping in; I am an early bird. Sam was born in Pennsylvania; I was born in Minnesota. Sam has 2 siblings; I have 9. Sam is Jewish; I am Catholic. I could go on and on listing the ways that Sam and I are different. Through all of these differences, we both understand that we love each other for the whole package.
I love Sam for his rock music, Pharmaceuticals, physics, logic, Judaism and all. Sam loves me for my NPR, arts background, Catholicism and everything. We both understand that it is all of these elements combined that make up who we are. If you were to take out any one of these elements Sam would be totally different and not the man that I love. If you were to take out the element of my religion, or family, I would be totally different and not the woman that Sam loves. You can't say, "I love you except_________ (fill in the blank)" or "I would love you more if ___________", because then you would be taking out little pieces of that person.
We love each other because of these differences. As we plan our wedding and our future together, we are learning that we can use our differences to balance out each other. I can help Sam see things from an arts management perspective; he can help me appreciate heavy metal rock music. I can learn about his Judaism and he can learn about my Catholicism. It is in learning, understanding, and loving ALL of these aspects of each other that will help us with our lives together and raising a family. I can just imagine, our future three year old reading the Wall Street Journal and teaching me about physics.

Example sentences
- The offspring of a mating between two purebred dogs of different breeds is a mongrel, a mutt.

Fort Hood shooting victim living in MaineUPDATED 7:27 PM EDT Sep 03, 2013
A Fort Hood shooting victim who is now living in Maine has joined a lawsuit against the government. WMTW News 8's Katie Thompson reports.Video Transcript
SENATOR SUSAN COLLINS TELLS W-M-T- W NEWS 8 THAT NEXT WEEK SHE WILL INTRODUCE A BILL TO PROVIDE PURPLE HEART AWARDS TO THE VICTIMS OF THE FORT HOOD TEXAS SHOOTING. COLLINS SAID THE BILL WOULD ALSO ENSURE THAT VICTIMS AND THEIR FAMILIES GET THE COMPENSATION THEY DESERVE. MANY OF THOSE VICTIMS HAVE ALREADY FILED A LAWSUIT AGAINST THE GOVERNMENT ..INCLUDING ONE WHO LIVES RIGHT HERE IN MAINE. W-M-T-W NEWS 8'S KATIE THOMPSON IS LIVE IN STUDIO TONIGHT TO TELL US WHY. W-M-T-W NEWS 8'S KATIE THOMPSON IS LIVE IN STUDIO TONIGHT WITH áNEW DEVELOPMENTSá IT'S THE WORST MASS SHOOTING ON A MILITARY BASE IN U.S HISTORYBUT VICTIMS OF THE FORT HOOD SHOOTING WHO ARE NOW PLAINTIFFS IN A MAJOR LAWSUIT, WOULD RATHER IT BE CALLED THE WORST TERRORIST ATTACK SINCE 9-11. "I went in line to see the doctor and that's when the shooting happened." RETIRED ARMY SPECIALIST JAMES ARMSTRONG WAS PREPARING FOR DEPLOYMENT ON NOVEMBER 5TH 2009 AT FORT HOOD, TEXAS, WHEN HE WAS SHOT 3 TIMES BY NOW CONVICTED ARMY PSYCHIATRIST NIDAL HASAN. SHORTLY AFTER, HE MET PRESIDENT OBAMA AT A MEMORIAL. "and the biggest things were we're going to take care of you. We're going to do what we can to take care of you.' From that point on there's been nothing else heard." NOW, HE'S ONE OF APPROXIMATELY 150 VICTIMS AND FAMILIES, SUING THE U-S GOVERNMENT. THE ARMY HAS CLASSIFIED THE SHOOTING AS WORKPLACE VIOLENCE, BUT THE SUIT SEEKS TO CHANGE IT TO AN ACT OF TERRORISM. DOING SO WOULD ALLOW THE SURVIVING VICTIMS AND FAMILIES OF THE 13 KILLED TO RECEIVE PURPLE HEARTS, AN AWARD DESIGNATED FOR THOSE WOUNDED OR KILLED IN COMBAT. AND, IT WOULD GIVE VICTIMS AND THEIR FAMILIES LONG-TERM BENEFITS. "I have to think about my children I have to think about my wife and I have to think about where I'm going to be in 30 years. Whether I'm going to be able to work, whether I'm going to be able to walk, I have to think about these things." ANOTHER PART OF THE CASE HINGES ON THE FINDINGS OF AN INVESTIGATION BY SENATOR SUSAN COLLINS SURROUNDING THE SHOOTER, HASAN. "that he was clearly inspired by a radical violent islamic ideology and this clearly was an act of terrorism." COLLINS' REPORT CLAIMS THAT THE DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE AND FBI KNEW THAT MAJOR HASAN WAS HAVING DIRECT CONVERSATIONS WITH A KNOWN TERRORIST. ATTORNEY REED RUBINSTEIN SAYS THE DOCUMENT PROVIDES A FACTUAL FOUNDATION FOR THE CASE. "it knew he was a radical it knew what he was planning it knew he was talking to al- keida about killing American soldiers, but it covered it up." "for the administration to persist in treating this as if it were an act of workplace violence is an absolute outrage and disrespectful to the many victims. AGAIN, SENATOR COLLINS PLANS TO BRING THAT BILL TO CONGRESS NEXT WEEK. THE OUTCOME HAS THE POTENTIAL TO CHANGE WHERE WE'LL SEE THIS LAWSUIT HEADED IN THE FUTURE.

So the journeymen CB we picked up is getting the nod over T.Brown? I'm not sure how I feel about this. James just got back on the field where Brown and Adams even have more time in Manusky's system and younger (faster) legs. I'm really surprised that he is getting the nod.
Hell brown started four games last year and had two picks!!!
NFL.com video
I'm really surprise James has shown enough to be moved up this high in the depth chart, what do you all think?

DUBAI—Sofitel The Palm Dubai, a Polynesian-themed resort, has opened here.
Located on the Palm Jumeirah, the hotel offers 361 guestrooms and suites, as well as 182 apartments. According to the company, the hotel features a design scheme of distinct French luxury with elements of Polynesian culture. French botanist Patrick Blanc created vertical gardens for the property.
Amenities include a private beach, meeting space for up to 700 guests and a spa with 28 spa rooms.
Dining options include Manava, an all-day dining concept featuring Paul Gauguin and Charles Rennie Mackintosh copies; Moana, a seafood restaurant with a Polynesian façade including a sushi counter and a ceviche bar; Studio du Chef, which offers modern French cuisine with a focus on cheese and wine; and Porterhouse restaurant & bar, a steakhouse.

Technology has transformed travel. It's that simple. From virtual-reality tours to mobile check-in to storing and personalizing guests' preferences, technology is continuing to influence the way we stay and vacay, so to speak. And it's also continuing to impact the way hotels do business. It comes down to this equation: guests' demands + hotel delivery = happy customers.

Do anyone know why PureFTP is the problem with WP autoupdate?
I cannot change the ftp pureftp service!
I can suggest a solution to the hosting provider to patch pureftp?
Do WP 3.0.4 solve this problem?
Do anyone know why PureFTP is the problem with WP autoupdate?
I cannot change the ftp pureftp service!
I can suggest a solution to the hosting provider to patch pureftp?
Do WP 3.0.4 solve this problem?
I talked to my server admin, and they said I was getting these errors because somewhere during the install/update, its asking for a folder called blog, instead of my wordpress directory. Where would this come from, as its not in my themes, and my settings in wordpress are correct.
I had luck with changing the permissions on wp-content/upgrade and wp-content/plugins and all subdirectories to 777 but I also had to add
define('FS_METHOD','direct'); in my wp-config.php
I still have trouble upgrading the core WP files but am able to install and upgrade plugins.
I'm experiencing a similar problem. However, the host is indeed running ProFTP. I had been in other permission issues before this, but most of them were resolved by chmod 777 or creating the file/folder through PHP so that the owner is apache. Now that I've finally gotten WordPress running, I tried to update Akismet but gotten this error:
"Downloading update from http://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/akismet.2.5.2.zip…
Unpacking the update…
Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /path/to/wordpress/wp-admin/includes/class-wp-filesystem-ftpsockets.php on line 299
Could not copy file. /path/to/wordpress/wp-content/upgrade/akismet.tmp/"
Anyone figured a solution?
Update: Looking through my directories, I found akismet.tmp in /wp-content/ rather than /wp-content/upgrade/, which puzzled me.
I followed onepursuit's advice step by step and it worked like a charm. This seems to be an issue of compatibility with the server which WordPress is hosted on.
I posted an unanswered question about this inability to update plugins in 3.0.4 a day ago (before this thread showed up). No responses there, so I"m asking here. I checked my ftp server and it's not PureFTP. Permissions on my upgrade file is 755, and it's empty. Not sure what else to check, but I will note (as others have) that this problem cropped up in a 3.0.X upgrade, and I've been unable to update ANY plugins since then. Are any developers even looking at this thread and if so, can you offer any other fixes? Is there a way to manually update? I've never done it manually -- always relying on the once-reliable "automatic" updates.
You have to change the FTP on your Web Host Manager side.
Other than that, you can manually upgrade a plugin by downloading the zip file, and uploading it via FTP.
The FTP is fine on the web host manager side. I already determined that. I guess I'll try the manual upgrade method. I had not done that before.
Good luck then!
Ok, Johnscottweaver hit a home run for me.
I had tried all the listed fixes, permission changes, directory deletions etc. that had been listed. I even increased the size of my hosting space just in case I had run out of room. Further, I tried to let fantastico handle it since it was available but it would only take me to 3.0.3 not .4
So since I have my own server and I host everything myself for my clients, I changed the ftp and whup bang bing! PROBLEM FIXED!
Worked great on all the sites. I know it makes no sense but thats what worked.

Photos: Canelo Gets a New Pet For Home, Baby Lion
By Miguel Rivera
Mexican superstar Saul "Canelo" Alvarez (44-1-1, 32KOs) is a fan of the big cats. Canelo got the proper permits and purchased a baby lion. Heavyweight great Mike Tyson was also a fan of purchasing big cats like tigers and lions. Canelo will return to action in the month of December. It will be his third fight of the year. He stopped Alfredo Angulo in the month of March and then came back in July to win a close decision over WBA 'regular' 154-pound champion Erislandy Lara.

Roses & raspberries
The 'It Came from Lake Dixon' award
A rose to Escondido City Lakes Ranger Jay Cowan, who discovered much-dreaded Quagga mussels in Lake Dixon. The discovery came after Cowan, who learned about the Quagga this year at a water conference, went the extra mile after a day of repair work and decided to check the floats under the dock for shells. He found them.
Once the mussels are established in a waterway, they can damage water systems and cause environmental damage by disrupting the food chain and releasing toxins that affect other species. It can cost millions of dollars to undo their destruction. Cowan's eagle eye and dedication to duty just may have slowed the spread of this destructive invasive pest in San Diego County. At least it helped us start responding now.
The 'Watch Out for Falling Standards' award
A raspberry to the teachers and administrators of Escondido's high schools for celebrating the wrong metric: the number of students who take an exam, not the number who pass.
In June we gave a raspberry to a Washington Post reporter who developed an index that placed Oceanside High in the top 5 percent of all U.S. schools simply because more of its students were taking the Advanced Placement courses meant to prepare kids for college. How the students actually performed on the exams for those courses was beside the point. What mattered was that the kids felt good about themselves.
Now we learn that Escondido's high school teachers and administrators are patting themselves on the back for the same questionable achievement. A teacher at San Pasqual High School was thrilled that enrollment in his AP economics class had jumped from 66 students to 169 since 2005. We couldn't help but notice that the passing rate fell from 93 percent to 84 percent.
To their credit, the average passing rate on AP exams at Escondido's high schools was above 50 percent. The countywide average is just 34 percent. But it still means that half the Escondido students taking the exams fail. We can only hope that Escondido's educators keep their eyes on the right prize: achievement on the AP tests, not enrollment in the AP classes.
The 'Helping Hand to Fill the Pantry' award
A rose to James Jackson, who has agreed to head the troubled San Diego Food Bank. Jackson is the former executive director of the San Diego Rescue Mission. The bank distributes more than 10 million pounds of food each year to more than 260 nonprofit groups countywide. That includes roughly 1.3 million pounds of food to more than 40 groups in North County. After facing financial and leadership problems in recent years, the bank plans to become an independent nonprofit. It has also eliminated most of its $700,000 debt. We wish Mr. Jackson the best of luck with the difficult but necessary task of reviving an important nonprofit service relied on by the poorest among us.
The 'Let There Not Be Light' award
A raspberry to any business that uses searchlights to advertise. Last week the county asked the Pauma Band of Mission Indians to turn off the giant searchlights they were using to draw attention to their casino deep in San Diego County's backcountry. Not only do the lights disturb neighbors, but they also disrupt observations at Palomar Observatory.
Lights of all sorts have already spoiled the nighttime sky for stargazers in our urban and suburban areas; let's not ruin the experience in the county's rural areas, too. If Pauma wants to attract customers, it should publicize its buffet, "loose slots" and general good times like every other casino.

A pretty simple implementation on having users peer rate other users based on their topics.
One minor issue to improve upon: the ability to have the grey background tab that contains the overall user rating scale with the column width. Currently this grey tab (DIV class bbpress_post_ratings_user_rating) gets cut off if the column width is shorter than 80px. As said this is a minor thing that many won't notice. Great plugin and highly recommended.
