Hide Ya Kids: Celebs Who Are Notoriously Private About Their Precious Seeds
Smile for the camera. We wanna see ya kids!
Celebrity Parents Who Keep Their Kids Out Of The Limelight
We love the precious celebrity seeds, but some stars aren't so keen on sharing shots of their little ones with the rest of the world. And with celebrity stalkers poppin' up left and right these days it's not hard to understand why.
Hit the flip to see who made the list of our most paparazzi shy celebrity seeds.
Erykah Badu
Erykah was a little more open about photos of her son Seven, with Andre Benjamin — but she's been fiercely protective of daughters Puma and Mars, even blasting Mars' daddy Jay Electronica on Twitter after he posted shots of the girls.
Michael Jackson
Remember when Michael Jackson was still alive and we didn't even have the slightest idea what Paris, Prince and Blanket looked like because they always wore masks?
Dwight Howard
Remember when Dwight went H.A.M over the idea of Royce letting Braylon be on "Basketball Wives"? And we still haven't seen a single picture of that baby by Hope Alexa.
Pharrell Williams
Pharrell is so private about his son Rocket Mann Williams with model fiancée Helen Lasichanh that we usually forget he even has a kid. He doesn't even comment about the baby in interviews!
Lauren London
We all saw Lauren's baby bump, but HAS ANYBODY ever seen Kameron (or Cameron, however she spells it) in real life? Anybody? Anybody?
Dave Chappelle
Even before he went crazy and went into hiding from the Black Illuminati Dave Chappelle was notoriously private about his kids and even moved to some bumblefawk town to allow his family some measure of privacy.

Halle Berry
Sure we see Nahla all the time, but when we do Halle is usually going all cray on the paps. Besides, she wants to move the kid to Paris so she doesn't have to grow up in the "celebrity bubble." Whatever that means.
Julia Roberts
She and her nobody husband moved to Santa Fe, New Mexico so their kids could be little nobodies too!
Chris Rock
He made a whole documentary inspired by his kids' struggles with their hair and they never even made an appearance! We're not sure if it's his evil wife or him that keeps them out of the limelight.

"We were slaves? Uh why? I mean if you're gonna dream up a story you'd come up with a better one than that." Says a white guy, including himself into a tribe of almost unrecognizable religion that lived 3000 years ago in the middle east, who wonders why his tribe would come up with a reason to hate a neighboring society. Also what's "Patterns of Evidence" even mean? Are you collecting data of data? Or are you trying to guess the next trend in criminal forensics? How many regression models have you built? Or if you are seriously asserting that your pre-existing beliefs might actually have some factual basis, under the guise of intelligent thought, I condemn your dishonesty. It's called evidence. Period. You have none.

Turek helps boost Gannon to win over Shippensburg
Matthew Turek's major decision at 125 pounds Friday highlighted Gannon's 25-9 victory over Shippensburg in a PSAC dual meet at the Hammermill Center.
The victory boosted the Knights' overall record to 6-2 and left them with a 4-1 PSAC mark. Gannon is ranked fifth in Super Region One.
Turek defeated Shippensburg's David Calambas 14-6 to get the Knights off to a fast start. Adam Weinell followed with a decision at 133 pounds, but Shippensburg (8-8, 2-2) answered with two straight decisions.
However, the Knights answered with back-to-back decisions of their own, with Nathaniel Ross winning at 157 and Casey Pace taking his 165-pound match.
Gannon added six more points with a forfeit at 174 pounds, increasing its lead to 19-6 with three matches remaining.
Zack Zelcs (184) and Nick Budd (285) also posted decisions for the Knights.

Living in Florida I don't really need a snow shade as much as I need a sun shade which is what I bought mine for. I'm in the belief that blocking the heat of the sun on the outside keeps the inside much cooler and the results prove that. It only takes a couple of minutes longer to install or remove but it's well worth the comfort of a cooler cab.

At a hearing recess in Santa Monica court, Airwolf's Jan-Michael Vincent, accused of assaulting an acquaintance a year ago, said, "I'm the hit of the celebrity crime circuit." Referring to several past arrests, he added, "I've pleaded guilty to a couple of things like disturbing the peace, which I wouldn't have done if I didn't have to work. When you have 150 people waiting for you on a set you have to settle." Vincent, who married last month for the second time, hasn't really been such a hit with prospective jurors. Only seven of 12 confessed to knowing who he was. One said tersely that Air-wolf was not his favorite show, leading an attorney to remark: "I'm glad we're not doing a Nielsen rating in here."
The sex scene that rouses sleepy audiences in the medieval snore The Name of the Rose was an awakening for 16-year-old Christian Slater as well. Director Jean-Jacques Annaud says he was reticent about the encounter between Slater and Valentina Vargas, 22, since "Christian was a young, sexually inexperienced boy." To make sure the scene was "simple and erotic" rather than "grotesque," Annaud closed the set for two days and kept Christian in the dark about what would take place. "Christian was nervous and kept asking Valentina what was going to happen," says Annaud. "Since Valentina was more sophisticated I told her to take the lead. She knew exactly what to do."
Although Woody Allen movies usually feature wackos instead of solos, one Allen script may become the next Oklahoma! Word has it that Allen, after some hesitation, approved a musical version of The Purple Rose of Cairo, proposed by Jerry Herman, who wrote the words and music for La Cage aux Folles.
Cairo isn't the only curiosity Broadway bound. Kiss of the Spider Woman, that sober film about a political prisoner (Raul Julia) and a drag queen (William Hurt) in a Latin American jail, has inspired a musical adaptation. This project—being spun in a web of secrecy—brings together director Harold Prince, composer John Kander and lyricist Fred Ebb, who haven't collaborated since creating Zorba 18 years ago.
Here's the dirt on Lauren Hutton: In the new CBS movie Times talkers, Hutton plays a woman from the year 5086 who drops by the 20th century, picks up William (Knots Landing) Devane, then whisks him back to the Wild West to solve a mystery. Hutton, who provided her own raunchy duds for the Western shots, criticized the sissy attire of other cast members. "I was the dirtiest person in the movie," she says. "I would walk around on the set and say to the cowboys, 'You guys look like Victorians! C'mon, you're too clean.' " To create her own getup, Hutton gathered an old, smelly Navaho blanket, buckskin pants, a battered Union jacket and a torn little girl's dress for a shirt. "I got the idea from a historical idol of mine—Mangas Coloradas," she says. "He was a 6'6" Indian whose band of roving Apaches stole dresses from little girls and wore them as shirts in battles."
If you didn't shell out $2,500 to see Barbra Streisand sing at her benefit last month, you may still be able to hear her at the new and reduced rate of $9.98. Although Streisand announced at the concert that she's planning an album of great movie songs, her next release may instead be a live recording of the concert. Streisand reportedly has her ear to the audio tapes to decide if they meet her standards.
Update on the Princess Stephanie/Rob Lowe romance: Chatting with Jane Fonda, Lowe admitted that he and the Princess spent some time at Paris' Cartier store—shopping for rings. Whether or not these were engagement rings remains unknown but Fonda took the news to mean that the relationship was serious. "Aren't Stephanie's shoulders bigger than yours?" she asked. "Probably," Lowe responded, laughing. "Well," said Fonda, "I can give you exercises to fix that."

Following The Australian Pioneers - 2015-01-21 by admin
For me the story began something like 4 years ago when I got my hands on an article in 96 issue of Vertical World' magazine about the jump from the Trango Towers, one of the highest verticals on a planet. Two Australians: Glenn Singleman and Nic Feteris came up with the idea of jumping there and made the expedition come true. The photos of the guys frozen in the moment of the leap from the wall, backgrounded by the rocks and the snow on the cover made even greater impression. The picture strongly carved in my memory. I was just going to start base-jumping at that time. After some time I saw the movie about the jump and it made my urge to jump there unavoidable.Vote: 1 | Comments: 0 | Views: 2405

Can you define these popular missing words?
a phrase which simply means to 'read the fucking question'. Commonly used by drivers ed teachers, and probably other teachers.
Kid - "I dont understand number 13"
Teacher - "Well, why dont you RTFQ!"

St. Mary's Catholic Church, 1200 S. Washington St., will present a free organ dedication concert at 2:30 p.m. Sunday.
The organ dedication concert is free. A reception hosted by St. Mary's Choir, St. Mary's Altar Society and the Amarillo Chapter of the American Guild of Organists will follow the program.
The church recently installed a new three-manual, combination digital / pipe organ made by the Rodgers Organ Company, through Jent's House of Music in Amarillo.
Organist for the concert will be Frederick Swann, who is organist in residence at the First Congregational Church of Los Angeles, where he plays a five-manual organ of 346 ranks, one of the largest pipe organs in the world.
Swann will perform organ works by George Frideric Handel, Sigfrid Karg-Elert, Cesar Franck and Healey Willan as well as Johann Sebastian Bach's "Toccata and Fugue in D minor," Franz Schubert's "Ave Maria" and an original "Trumpet Tune" composed by Swann.

Apparently some people are working on making a jump over 400000 ft at like the edge of gravity, make that ****** jump and go down at like 1000 mph as the top speed, and go through all the G-forces and heat related to that ****, sounds more fun then that.
#215 to #198 - iamrexraptor (05/29/2012) [-]
terminal velocity and it has to do with wind resistance
#217 to #216 - iamrexraptor (05/31/2012) [-]
#123 to #120 - iamrexraptor (05/28/2012) [-]
the only reason they would be able to hit 1000 mph unassisted would be if they didn't have the wind resistance. Therefore without wind resistance there wouldn't be "heat related to that ****" that is created from wind resistance's friction. Also G-forces created by acceleration from a stopped or slow position. Imagine if you would driving in a car, you speed up slow you don't feel the g's, you speed up fast and you do. Wind can cause simulated g's (imagine the same driving situation, but this time you are in a convertible) unlike a non-convertible car, wind resistance causes simulated g's no matter if you speed up fast or slow.
Wind makes heat and g-force without accelerated motion

400000 ft in the atmosphere doesnt have any air at all.. and it would be caused by the suns heat and or friction from high speeds..

#126 to #124 - iamrexraptor (05/28/2012) [-]
there is no friction in space and the heat from the sun isn't nearly as deadly as the radiation one would have to go through to make it into earth. 400,000 feet is 100,000 feet away from the moon.
TR;DR space no have airs = no friction

dude its like a meteor, if its at high enough speeds it starts burning like crazy, especially if it gets into a planets atmosphere.
#140 to #137 - shackalacka (05/28/2012) [-]
but if it gets within a certain distance it dissipates, but it looks like it burns, still counts.
#143 to #140 - Mojake
Reply +2(05/28/2012) [-]
'gets within a certain distance' wut? Yeah it glows because of the the bonds in the molecules around it are broken... The reason the meteor breaks up is because of the resistance against gravity causing a ******* of kinetic energy which disintegrates the rock.
#145 to #143 - iamrexraptor (05/28/2012) [-]
thank you making my point dude it really makes my all nighter brain feel less... stressed
#146 to #145 - shackalacka (05/28/2012) [-]
lol everything u said doesnt match what he explained

that wut i ment man.
#130 to #128 - iamrexraptor (05/28/2012) [-]
FOR ***** SAKE THERE IS NO ATMOSPHERE AT 400K 300K 200K 100K you start hitting atmosphere at about 80,000 the real danger is radiation for 2 and a-half days
#133 to #130 - shackalacka (05/28/2012) [-]
dude.. if anything is at high enough speeds it generates energy, dafuq
#135 to #133 - iamrexraptor (05/28/2012) [-]
potential energy is built up energy doesn't mean heat
#139 to #135 - shackalacka (05/28/2012) [-]
and the thermosphere is 2,700 degrees fahrenheit
#136 to #135 - shackalacka (05/28/2012) [-]
dude if you enter the earths atmosphere, it being around 10000 km high, yeah, your gunna gain alot of speed and friction from that speed man.
#138 to #136 - iamrexraptor (05/28/2012) [-]
yes yes you will BUT the radiation will have likely caused so much [normalcancer[normal] that you will die even if you survive
#142 to #138 - shackalacka (05/28/2012) [-]
and what radiation? its gunna be a 10 minute fall, and they give you a specialized suit made for like, 15 G forces, plus for the intense heat of the atmosphere levels
#125 to #124 - shackalacka (05/28/2012) [-]
and theres barely any to not at all resistance for like 320000 ft, so your gunna be going pretty fast for a while
#127 to #125 - iamrexraptor (05/28/2012) [-]
All I'm trying to explain is the science behind the act of falling to earth from 400.000 ft.
It took the astronauts 3 days to make it 100,000 miles longer
It took the astronauts 3 days to make it 100,000 miles longer
#132 to #127 - shackalacka (05/28/2012) [-]
and wut?
#134 to #132 - iamrexraptor (05/28/2012) [-]

Welcome to the 240th edition of Phish.Net's Mystery Jam Monday. The winner will receive an MP3 download courtesy of our friends at LivePhish.com / Nugs.Net. To win, be the first person to identify the song and date of each of the two mystery jam clips, which are connected by a theme. Each person gets one guess – if no one guesses correctly, I will post a hint on Tuesday, after which each person gets one more guess before I reveal the correct answer on Wednesday around 10 AM PT / 1 PM ET. Good luck!
Answer: Congrats to @dbertsch, who enters a class of now 39 multiple MJM winners with his second win and LivePhish code, both on multiclip MJMs. He must have recognized the picture taken of the HP Hood milk plant in Burlington, VT, just across the street from where the band lived when they wrote a song about Mr. Hood himself. Specials thanks to Anne Rothwell and the kind folks at thehoodplant.com for allowing me to use one of their photos for this week's hint – it's really cool that they acknowledge Phish on their site taboot: check it out! @dbertsch correctly identified the 7/18/03 Harry Hood (from the jam) and the 3/14/92 Harry Hood (from the improvisational intro) – two clips that, in combination with the versions from the past couple years, highlight the storied improvisational history of this fan-favorite tune since 1985. Stay tuned for next week's MJM, the final and most difficult MJM of September (before we reset the difficulty meter to "low" the week after), which will be an experiment with yet another new format.
On Sunday night, tune in to Power Radio 88 from 6-7pm EST for a Q&A with Phish Companion co-editor and Mockingbird Foundation Board President, Marco Walsh.

Welcome to the 239th edition of Phish.Net's Mystery Jam Monday. The winner will receive an MP3 download courtesy of our friends at LivePhish.com / Nugs.Net. To win, be the first person to identify the song and date of the mystery jam clip. Each person gets one guess – if no one guesses correctly, I will post a hint on Tuesday, after which each person gets one more guess before I reveal the correct answer on Wednesday around 10 AM PT / 1 PM ET. Good luck!
Note: As with MJM 237, this video MJM does not have audio. While I may use video with audio for future MJMs, these silent MJMs will rely on your ability to pick up on visual cues to identify these clips without any music. In the interest of fairness, I won't be using any video that can't be found on YouTube or Vimeo – I will be screen capturing from those sites directly, not from my own collection.
Answer: Congrats to first-time winner, @Franklin, who won this week's video-sans-audio MJM by correctly identifying the 7/6/13 Split Open and Melt in stunningly quick fashion (18 minutes?!), and takes home a download code for any show from LivePhish.com. Next week's MJM will be harder than those from the past two weeks, but it won't be as hard as the last of the month. Won't you come out to play?
Uncomfortable truths are sometimes easier to acknowledge after the passage of time. This is especially true when there is a happy ending involved. So it goes with Phish's 2016 summer tour. Let's be clear: Heading into Dick's, 2016 wasn't just below average—it was among the most puzzling and disappointing stretches of the band's career.
Phish has always had highs and lows—many more of the former than the latter—but there was always an explanation for the lows. In retrospect, 1996 was about the band re-inventing itself after the peak of 1995. We all know the explanation for 2004, though the band still managed to scale massive peaks even during that time of trouble. In 2009, Phish was still getting their sea legs under them. But 2016 hadn't provided an easy answer, at least not yet.

Welcome to the 238th edition of Phish.Net's Mystery Jam Monday, the first and easiest MJM of September. Happy Labor Day to you all, especially those who got their asses handed to them at Dick's this weekend*! The winner will receive an MP3 download courtesy of our friends at LivePhish.com / Nugs.Net. To win, be the first person to identify the song and date of the mystery jam clip. Each person gets one guess – if no one guesses correctly, I will post a hint on Tuesday, after which each person gets one more guess before I reveal the correct answer on Wednesday around 10 AM PT / 1 PM ET. Good luck!
*I'm writing this before Dick's has started, wishfully thinking there'll be another "Ass Handed."
Answer: Congrats to first-time winner @courvoisier, who climbed right back in the saddle after a near win last week and correctly identified the 7/15/16 Chalk Dust Torture from the Gorge (located in George, WA), taking home a LivePhish code for his efforts. After consecutive strong showings, is he the next savant to take MJM by storm? Or will one of the multiple MJM winners swoop back in when the level of difficulty jumps up another notch? Find out on Monday when we're back with MJM239.

On the second of three sold-out nights at Dick's Sporting Goods Park, Phish springboarded off the energy from night one to deliver an overall excellent show last night. It featured a number of tight, energetic jams, an unexpected opener, and a contender for the best first set of the summer. While the setlist did not contain any bust-outs or heavily-chased songs, Phish laid down a memorable, polished show that highlights the versatility of the band with the perfect balance of beautiful, reflective peaks and dark, sublime rock.
Phish got right down to business last night at Dick's… so we'll do the same. Roaring out of the gates with "Ghost," the band offered only the second show-opening Ghost since the '90s, the other also being at Dick's (8/31/13, the "MOST SHOWS SPELL SOMETHING" gig). Rounding out at a little over ten minutes, it was still too early to sense that this was a night where IT was happening.

Phish closed out the Lockn' Festival on Sunday night with a solid performance of mostly classic fare to cap the four-day festival that featured many of the top names in improvisational rock and roll. Phish's headlining slot on Friday night defied the low expectations that often accompany festival performances, as Phish offered one of the most highly-regarded shows of 2016 featuring expanded treatments of fan-favorites such as "Ghost," "Bathtub Gin," and "You Enjoy Myself."
Outstanding performances from many other acts throughout the weekend helped raise the bar for the finale, including standout performances by Umphrey's McGee, Ween, My Morning Jacket, Chris Robinson Brotherhood, two different Phil Lesh and Friends ensembles (including one with Fish and Page), and two jaw-dropping late-night performances from Joe Russo's Almost Dead. Let's turn to the action and see how today's jamband heavyweight champ responded.
Note: Starting this week, the MJM will provide more variety in terms of both the format and the difficulty of MJMs each week. Generally, every month will start with an easier MJM, and each MJM thereafter will increase in difficulty until the last MJM of each month. In other words, expect to see classic single-clip MJMs near the beginning of each month, and multi-clip + theme MJMs towards the end of each month, with other formats and levels of difficulty in between. Enjoy, and as always, constructive feedback is always welcome.
Answer: Congrats to first-time winner, @queenesther, who by identifying the 8/19/12 Light (-> Sneakin' Sally Through the Alley) by sight alone, takes home two LivePhish codes! Yes, @courvoisier was technically more accurate because @queenesther didn't mention the -> Sally, but ultimately I decided to award the code to the latter contestant because the video only features ~15 seconds of Sally, and @queenesther was 19 minutes quicker. Stay tuned on Monday, especially you MJM n00bs, when we'll have our first and easiest MJM of September.
If you've been a fan for a minute, you've heard of "festival Phish."
It's the mostly pejorative term for a set that's preciously curated for non-fans who really rolled up to see Bruce Springsteen, Matt & Kim, or some craft yoga emo battalion with seven snare drummers, five fiddles, and three artisanal washboards—but decided to stick it out and finally, passively, see what Phish is all about. These dilute sets nearly always seem to include a "Moma Dance," a "Down With Disease," a "Joy," and a generous helping of unapologetic ripcords.
Hey Phish fans! It's me, The Book! Phish takes the stage at LOCKN' this weekend—with a free stream! Psyched? You bet I am! The kind folks who created me at The Mockingbird Foundation and phish.net ran a photo contest to celebrate my birth. Imagine, fans taking pictures of little ol' me! I'm only a little more than two months old, and already it feels like I've been everywhere!
What a summer it has been already! When you think summer—aside from Phish tour—you think the beach! My favorite beach visit this summer was to Morocco! Check out this shot of me from @YomeNetSan, who won third place in the contest! #ReadTheBook! It will save your life!

And then there was one. Welcome to MJM Week 236, the tenth and final week of our Hall of Champions Series, Volume I. We welcome Emeritus Champion @schvice into the recording studio, where he has picked out this week's theme and tracks, all for your listening pleasure. @schvice recently gained Emeritus status, after winning his seventh MJM in Week 232, when he successfully navigated a challenging Gamehendge-based course set by @mcgrupp81. Where once he was the bane of the Blog, foiling themes and jams thought unsolvable, now @schvice has (thankfully) gone to the Dark Side, hoping that he can lead the Blog to that elusive victory number 17. Only one way to find out: let it rip.
To win, be the first person to identify the song and date of each of the three mystery jam clips, and answer what they share in common. Each person gets one attempt per day, with the second "day" starting after the Blog posts the hint -- each answer should contain three songs / dates, along with the commonality between them. No sharing or trading of answers is allowed. A hint will be posted on Tuesday if necessary, with the answer to follow on Wednesday. The winner will receive one MP3 code good for a free download of any show, courtesy of our friends at LivePhish.com / Nugs.Net. Good luck!
Answer: It took a well-crafted triplet and a creative hint from the 10th and most recent MJM Emeritus @schvice, but for only the 17th time in 236 attempts, the Blog snags the W! As some users noted, the title of the video used for the hint is Mike Reed plays Groove Holmes' 1966 "Misty" up-tempo, on the Hammond Organ [emphasis mine]. The keen observer will note that the title is a play on "Mike's Groove," and the Mike in the video is certainly grooving along to the 50 year old tune; but even more fitting is the song played: "Misty." Fans well-versed in Phish's early material may recall that "I Am Hydrogen" has seldom-spoke lyrics that were used a half dozen times in the early days: "I walk awakening on the misty fields of forever." This week's "Mike's Groove" MJM consists of the 4/29/93 Weekapaug Groove, the 4/24/87 I Am Hydrogen, and the 7/12/96 Mike's Song. We'd like to once again thank @schvice and all of the MJM Emeriti for participating and crafting these awesome MJMs, and we hope to keep them involved and leverage their expertise in other ways in the future. Tune back in on Monday, when @ucpete takes over as your helping friendly host, and keep your eyes and ears peeled for some new tweaks in how the MJM is run. It has not escaped our notice that the multiclip format may be a turn-off to the unintiated, so expect a mix of classic single-clip MJMs, meta-puzzles, and other MJM shenanigans to take the sting out of Monday for everyone!
Special Thanks: I'd like to thank @ucpete for letting me be the Invisible Hand behind MJM for the past 10 weeks, helping each Emeritus Champion with crystalizing a theme, fine tuning the jam track samples, concocting the hint, and generally ensuring that the process runs smoothly. I had a blast getting to know each Emertitus Champion, and these guys, all ten, are not only great guys, but they really, really know their Phish. Thanks again @ucpete for handing the keys over and letting me take the cruise ship out for an extended journey. It was a great ride, but all good things must end, and with today's Emeritus/Blog victory (nice MJM @schvice!), I commend the MJM controls back to your good care. Enjoy what's left of summer everyone. DFB.

"I'm not James Taylor," laughs Mansfield's singer/songwriter Johnny Roquemore, known more for his humorous, bluegrass-inspired compositions than the smooth ballads delivered by tweed-clad Taylor. Growing up in DeKalb County, Roquemore picked up an electric guitar at 14 and with a neighborhood band made some "big noise," he recalled. "All I ever wanted was an amp taller than me." In college, he played frat parties in another band, but at the same time, he got hooked on acting and enjoyed a memorable run in the Atlanta theater scene, including a lead in an Alliance Theater production.

State Sen.

The Arizona Wildcats (21-4, 9-4 Pac-12) have lost two of their last three games and coach Sean Miller has had enough of the losing.
They went into the Huntsman Center in Salt Lake City on Sunday to face a Utah team that has only won three games in conference and have yet to string two wins together. The Utes stole a game from Arizona State earlier in the week and they were ready to take down the 'Cats.
Arizona took a 13-point lead in the second half but then allowed Utah back in the game to tie it at 51 with 6:23 remaining. The Wildcats once again turned on the afterburner and pulled away from Utah to win 68-64.
Their shooting against Utah was much more on point than the previous two games when they lost by eight and 13 points respectively.
After closely examining the Wildcats' past wins and losses, here are the five keys to beating Washington on Wednesday night.

I've been a fan of Rabbi David Wolpe's column for some time, finding it a succinct and wise commentary on many areas of Jewish life. I was, however, disappointed with his column," The Flexible Torah" (April 8), which cites the Talmud Bavli (Taanit 20a) and the discussion of the flexibility of a reed, used for the writing of Torah scrolls. "It is surprising," he writes, "for those who think the Torah rigid and inflexible that even the implement used to shape its letters is chosen for flexibility." Later in the column he laments that "some people have tried to nail down the corners of Torah, mak[ing] it rigid and certain, a mechanical series of behaviors rather than a living, changing organism."
Rabbi Wolpe's comments are a thinly veiled (and often repeated) criticism of what today is known as Orthodox Judaism. However, his comments are simply based on many commonly held misconceptions of Orthodoxy. For example, how can a tradition that includes such varied expressions as Chabad, Yeshiva University and the haredi yeshiva in Lakewood, N.J, be considered rigid, inflexible and mechanical? Anyone with the most basic understanding of Torah-true Judaism knows this to be anything but the truth.
Perhaps Rabbi Wolpe feels that this criticism is the best way to save the ailing Conservative movement. As has been widely reported, declining membership, increasing intermarriage and problems at the Jewish Theological Seminary have many in the movement understandably concerned. I would, however, suggest that a look inward is more appropriate.

I find Mr. Sigman's claims rather silly. The exhortations not to treat Judaism as a rigid system go back to the prophets, and Mr. Sigman's imaginings of what Rabbi Wolpe meant are simply his own projections onto Rabbi Wolpe's words. The rabbi has never suggested that all of orthodoxy is rigid, and is far too knowledgeablr to make a claim that foolish. Mr Sigman needs to dial down his paranoia and stop reading his own agenda into another's words.

First thing I am going to do is click the Preset list and under the Settings drop-down we're going to select the Ogg high quality Theora format, because it has a maximum width of 1080 pixels. You can see the other ones have maximum width of 200 and 400, which is smaller than the video size that we're using. And so this isn't going to set the video size to 1080. It's just going to make sure it fits within there and since ours is 480 pixels wide, this is the one that we want to use. Now you can dig through the additional menus and try different settings if you have additional needs for the video, but otherwise this will create a usable video for us.
So we can go ahead and click Encode to File and we'll save this in our encoded folder as podcast.ogv. Now that that's done, we can even watch it in the browser. (Music playing) That's looking good. So let's go ahead and click OK and we can go right into making our WebM version. We can use the same source file and under the Settings menu we can select the WebM options, and for this one we can actually select the lower version because it has a max width of 480 pixels, which is the exact size that we want our video to be.
So we're going to go ahead and select that one and again we can play around with the other settings but this should give us a file that will play on the web. So we'll click Encode to File and name it podcast.webm. Okay, great! Now that's done and we can test it in our browser. (Music playing) And that's working. Okay, so now we have both our Ogg and WebM files and let's go and plug those into our code. All right, just like we did with the MP4, I'm just going to add the encoded directory to our source files, both the WebM and the Ogg file.
I am going to save that and to preview those we're going to open it up in Firefox and reload the page. (Music playing) And it's working, and this will be playing the WebM version since that's the first one in the source list that Firefox can support. So I am just going to go ahead and actually just comment out the WebM version just really quick to test the Ogg version. All right, so that's commented out and if we go back to Firefox and reload. (Music playing) Now it's playing the Ogg version and that's working as well.
And again, you can tell it's not the versions we were using before because those had a watermark burn in the corner that would tell us the type of format it was. All right, so now you know how to encode all the HTML5 video formats, and for free at that. Let's move on to encoding audio formats.
- Understanding the differences in media formats
- Preloading, autoplaying, and looping in HTML5
- Setting a video's width and height attributes
- Displaying subtitles and captions
- Generating embed code with an embed code builder
- Encoding files using HandBrake, Firefogg, and VLC
- Creating a load progress bar
- Recognizing Android and iOS issues

Progressives Wrongly Alarmed by Roberts' ACA Decision
Randy Shaw: I was astounded to see so many progressive commentators and legal scholars interpret Justice Roberts' health care decision as creating the legal edifice necessary to rein in future government programs.
Money, Power, and Politics

Acadiana unites in search for missing Lafayette girl; Mickey Schunick was last seen early Saturday morning
By: Howell Dennis - Editor
LAFAYETTE - People from across Acadiana have mobilized in force to search for Mickey Shunick, the missing Lafayette girl who would have celebrated her 22nd birthday on Monday. She hasn't been seen since she left a friend's home in the on Ryan St. (near the St. John Cathedral) at 2 a.m. Saturday morning on her bicycle to head back to her home near the intersection of Ambassador and Congress.
She never made it.
According to her mother she became alarmed when she missed her brother's high school graduation on Saturday, which she had been looking forward to attending.
She was wearing a pastel, multi-colored striped shirt, light wash skinny jeans and grey shoes. Shunick departed the residence on a black Schwinn bicycle with gold handle bar grips and wearing a brown leather backpack purse. It is believed that she was going to her residence near the intersection of Ambassador Caffery Parkway and Congress Street. Shunick is described as a white female, blonde hair, 5'1" tall and 115 pounds. The Louisiana State Police and the FBI have offered their resources and assisting in the investigation.
The girl's disappearance has mobilized dozens of volunteers from across Acadiana who have searched the route that she was assumed to have taken home. Nothing has been found as of press time today.
"I'm just taking orders," said Carolyn Wright who has been helping with the search since it began. "Our daughter is good friends with Mickey...she was actually at our house Thursday night. She is a happy, good girl who didn't have an enemy in the world."
Wright also wanted to express thanks to the citizens of Acadiana who have come out in force to help in the search.
"Lafayette and all of Acadiana for that matter have been incredible," she said. "Everyday we've had more volunteers come in that want to help with the search."
Schunick's disappearance has also made national headlines with her case being mentioned on the Nancy Grace show as well as in the Huffington Post.
Many of Mickey's former classmates have been keeping busy passing out flyers and posting pictures on telephone poles.
"I've been going to school with Mickey since elementary school," said Ashley Feerick who was passing out flyers on Monday. "She was such a sweet girl and we've all been praying really hard."
"Things like this just don't happen around here," said Laura Ritchey of Scott who sounded as though she was in disbelief. "They just don't."
A $10,000 reward has been offered for the person or party that locates Mickey.
Anyone with any information is asked to contact the Lafayette Police Department at (337) 277-2751 or her mother, Nancy, at (337) 277-2751.
