Recent reviews
Excellent 4.4 /5 from 48 reviews
We prepaid for a two night stay at this 'hotel'. They placed a credit card hold on my card four different times for close to 1000 US. Doesn't make any sense to me. 4 days after we checked out, two of the holds have not been cleared yet. Other than that, my only complaint is the carpet needs a thorough cleaning to get rid of the stains.
so enjoyed the beautiful grand residence...especially enjoyed the use of the washer/dryer in the room.
Great place to stay for our small family.
This place was terrific. The room was beautiful. The staff so friendly and helpful. The hot tubs and pool were perfect, and the go karts were so fun. The restaurant was excellent.
Great location, couldn't be any closer to village and base. The layout and space in the suite was perfect for our family and guests that dropped over. The hotel pool is not close.... But hot tubs are. Found the 'residence' a little off the radar of staff as requests for towels and loaner cell chargers went unanswered.
Is the description of this hotel not correct? Tell us

A popular but erroneous myth about schizophrenia is that it means a "split personality," as in the movie The Three Faces of Eve. Instead, schizophrenia is an illness that affects a variety of mental functions as well as a person's ability to think clearly and feel intensely. The word itself stresses how the functions of the mind are fragmented: schizo means "fragmented," and phren means "mind." Schizophrenic symptoms include changes in the entire gamut of human mental activities.
Symptoms of schizophrenia are typically divided into positive and negative categories. In the case of positive symptoms, a person's mental functions are exaggerated or distorted; in the case of negative symptoms, they are diminished or absent. The table on page 391 summarizes each group and the mental functions that are impaired. For doctors to diagnose schizophrenia, the symptoms must be causing a person significant impairment at work, at school, or in personal relationships.
The natural course of schizophrenia can vary, but it typically starts with a person becoming somewhat more apathetic and withdrawn. During this phase of the illness the patient may be misdiagnosed as suffering from depression or a "personality disorder." At some point clear symptoms of schizophrenia appear, and doctors recognize the condition.

Exacta Systems has reached an agreement with Ellis Park to provide the Henderson, Ky., racetrack with its historical horse racing system and games.
There will be no battle of September race dates in Kentucky this year, as the 2017 schedule will look a lot like 2016.
Ellis Park, which closed its 30-day meet Sept. 5, reported a rise in all-sources handle and a slight drop in on-track wagering. Purses were up 25% due to an influx of funding from Kentucky Downs and historical race wagering.
New Hall of Fame trainer Steve Asmussen, jockey Corey Lanerie and owner Chester Thomas' Allied Racing came away as the 2016 Ellis Park meet champions.
Three-time Kentucky Derby-winning jockey Calvin Borel resumed his racing career Aug. 27 at Ellis Park, with a third- and fourth-place finish in two mounts, after a five-month taste of retirement.
Hall of Fame rider Calvin Borel, who retired in March, will return to the saddle Aug. 27 at Ellis Park in western Kentucky. The three-time Kentucky Derby (gr. I)-winning rider has 5,146 career wins.
Jockey Francisco Torres was transported by ambulance to St. Mary's Hospital in Evansville, Ind. after his mount flipped in the starting gate before the fifth race Aug. 7 at Ellis Park.
Innovative Idea yielded the early lead but regained top status when it mattered most to win the $100,000 Groupie Doll Stakes (gr. III) by a half-length over 28-1 longshot Emmajestic Aug. 6 at Ellis Park.
Edward Seltzer and Beverly Anderson's homebred 3-year-old colt Surgical Strike has banked $340,813 thus far, which bodes well for his half brother, Preemptive Strike, who broke his maiden in his second start Aug. 5 at Ellis Park.
Stoneway Farm's homebred Ahh Chocolate looks to bounce back from a fifth-place finish in the Fleur de Lis Stakes (gr. II) when she returns for the $100,000 Groupie Doll Stakes (gr. III) Aug. 6 at Ellis Park.
Upon earning his 4,000th career victory July 31 at Ellis Park, jockey Corey Lanerie recalled thinking he'd never make it to 1,000.
Ellis Park canceled its last two races July 29 after a thunderstorm blew through the area, causing overflowed drains and standing water on the track.
Jockey Corey Lanerie scored an unusual double July 23 at Ellis Park, where he won publicity races aboard a camel and an ostrich.
Arturo Aparicio, an 18-year-old apprentice from Panama, landed his first and second wins in the United States July 17 at Ellis Park.
"Divine intervention in the nightcap," Ellis Park announcer Jimmy McNerney told the crowd after Blame Angel captured the eighth race July 22 by 2 3/4 lengths.
Seven-year-old gelding Ain't in No Hurry led most of the way in his first start ever to take Ellis Park's second race July 22 by three lengths in the field of $16,000 maiden claimers.
The free event will go from the starting gate to the barn of John Hancock, a third-generation trainer and starts at 7:30 a.m.
Trainer Ian Wilkes thought Marylou Whitney Stable's 4-year-old colt Gorgeous Bird had considerable talent but just wasn't quite getting it all together.
Ellis Park is teaming with the Thoroughbred Aftercare Alliance July 17 to promote the industry-wide venture that provides funding for rehabilitation and retraining of retired racehorses .
The Factor was represented by his first winner July 9 when Senora Acero drove to a two-length triumph in the sixth race at Ellis Park.

NBA Finals matchups
Miami's LeBron James vs. San Antonio's Kawhi Leonard
James has faced some talented defenders in the playoffs, starting with Milwaukee's Luc Richard Mbah a Moute. Then James faced Chicago's Jimmy Butler and Indiana's Paul George, both skilled defensive players. Now it will be Leonard's turn to try to slow down the game's best player and league MVP. The Spurs handled James well in the 2007 Finals when he was with Cleveland, but that was before he became Superman.
Advantage: Heat.
Miami's Udonis Haslem vs. San Antonio's Tiago Splitter
Both are complementary players, but Haslem always has formed a big part of the Heat's identity, willing to do whatever it takes to win. Haslem had two big scoring games (17 and 16 points, respectively) in the conference finals against Indiana. Splitter relieves a lot of the pressure on Tim Duncan and has converted 58% of his shots in the postseason.
Advantage: Heat.
Miami's Chris Bosh vs. San Antonio's Tim Duncan
Bosh struggled against Indiana's Roy Hibbert in the previous series and faces a future Hall of Famer in Duncan, who has been rejuvenated this season and in the playoffs. Bosh will try to venture outside to bring Duncan away from his comfort zone. Duncan is averaging 17.8 points and 9.2 rebounds in 14 games during the Spurs' current playoff run.
Advantage: Spurs.
Miami's Dwyane Wade vs. San Antonio's Danny Green
Wade has struggled with a sore right knee throughout the playoffs and even missed Game 4 against the Bucks due to pain. When he struggled in Game 6 at Indiana, he said he needed to be incorporated better in the Heat offense. But Wade scored 21 points in Game 7 and suddenly seemed energized again. Green is shooting 43% from three-point range in the playoffs and is a good defender.
Advantage: Heat.
Miami's Mario Chalmers vs. San Antonio's Tony Parker
Parker made a good Memphis defense look bad in the Western Conference finals. Parker's ability to get into the paint and create havoc will test the Heat, and it may need James to defend him at key times. Chalmers will be no match.
Advantage: Spurs.
Miami's Ray Allen, Chris Andersen, Norris Cole, Shane Battier, Mike Miller and Joel Anthony vs. San Antonio's Manu Ginobili, Gary Neal, Matt Bonner, Boris Diaw, Cory Joseph and DeJuan Blair.
Allen and Battier struggled against the Pacers, but Allen hit three critical three-pointers in the first half of Game 7. Andersen has hardly missed in the playoffs while providing the rebounding the Heat lacks, although his suspension for Game 6 was pure stupidity. Cole could prove critical in defending Parker if Chalmers struggles. Ginobili is more a starter than a bench player and could turn a game or two in the series. In other words, he could make a massive difference.
Advantage: Heat.
Miami's Erik Spoelstra vs. San Antonio's Gregg Popovich
Spoelstra is underrated because he coaches a trio of stars and makes sure they work together while massaging wounded egos when necessary. It's not an easy job. Popovich will scream at his players, but he knows how to get the best out of them. And they trust him implicitly. He has won four NBA titles and that's no fluke.
Advantage: Spurs.
The Heat struggled during its conference finals matchup against the Pacers, but that might serve it well heading into the Finals. Bosh and Wade will get a clean slate in this series. The Spurs have been resting after sweeping Memphis, but San Antonio's veterans won't mind the idle time. It probably helped them and they will know how to handle it.
Advantage: Spurs.
It's hard to pick against any team with James in the lineup. He didn't get a lot of help for much of the Indiana series and as he pointed out, the matchups were bad for the Heat with the physical Hibbert and David West inside. Now it's Duncan and Splitter the Heat must face, not to mention a premier point guard in Parker. A lot will depend on Wade's performance. Can he play consistently the way he did in Game 7 against Indiana? If he does, the Heat will be hard to beat and will repeat.
Miami wins series, 4-3.

Holy shite. What fricking world are you living in? You must have insurance coverage when you have an incident. What made you think otherwise? Are you a high school kid living with your parents? Wait; I know you are a dude in his 30's I think...my god, man.

You should ask this question of the people of Massachusetts who already liver under such a system.

I pointed out that such behavior would be impossible because of the open enrollment periods. I'm not interested in getting sidetracked.
What about every emergency visit?
There were 516 murders in Chicago alone last year. Many were probably rushed to the hospital, few likely had insurance(maybe medicaid).

What the shite did we just accomplish?
Please tell me that you understand that under our current system you can show up and get emergency treatment for free. Its illegal to turn somebody away.
You go to ER? You have to have insurance before you get there. Good lord, how slow are you people?
This is the part I'm interested in. If I get in a car wreck are they going to turn me down if I don't have insurance?

Red Sox opportunity would appeal to Roy Oswalt
|11.16.11 at 2:26 pm ET
MILWAUKEE — There have been instances when the idea of Roy Oswalt pitching in a Red Sox uniform was very real. On multiple occasions, the Sox have taken runs at the right-hander in the trade market, most notably in 2006, when the Sox believed they were close to acquiring Oswalt from the Astros at the trade deadline.
How close were they?
"Close," said Oswalt's agent, Bob Garber. "Very close."
A deal never transpired in the trade market, but as the Red Sox look to address the back of their rotation, Oswalt does fit the profile of a pitcher who would represent an obvious target for Boston. And the Sox, given the fact that the opportunity to contend, would likewise be a team that would interest Oswalt, Garber said, despite the fact that it would require the career-long National Leaguer to jump to the junior circuit.
The 11-year veteran, whose resume includes three All-Star games and six top-six finishes in Cy Young balloting, has a career 159-93 record and 3.21 ERA. Until back injuries limited him to 23 starts in 2011, the right-hander had seven straight years of at least 30 starts, establishing himself as one of the most durable and effective pitchers in the game for the Astros and then, following a trade in the middle of the 2010 season, with the Phillies.
Now, in a free-agent class that is light on elite starting options, Oswalt will carry significant interest for a number of teams, likely including the Red Sox. After left-handers C.J. Wilson (another Garber client) and Mark Buehrle, Oswalt — based on track record — is likely the next best starter available, and the top right-hander this winter.
Moreover, whereas Wilson appears likely to secure a deal of at least five years and Buehrle reportedly could seek a four-year deal, Oswalt — coming off an injury season — would likely not be in line to seek such long-term commitments. That said, Garber noted, he will be seeking a multi-year commitment.
That might seem a bit of a question mark given that back issues limited Oswalt to 23 starts last year, during which he went 9-10 with a 3.69 ERA for the Phillies. Perhaps more notably, his fastball velocity dropped to a career-low average of 91.4 mph, and his strikeout rate likewise dipped to a career-low 6.0 per nine innings. It was a season that looked like that of a pitcher past his prime, and so it is unlikely that he will command the same sort of years — and, perhaps, the same sort of dollars — as Wilson and Buehrle.
That said, Oswalt had a strong finish to the season after he had a successful injection (after a previous unsuccessful injection) to allow him to pitch effectively over the last two months. He had a 3.59 ERA in his last 10 starts, and his strikeout rate ticked up to 6.8 per nine innings and his walk rate was a svelte 2.0 per nine innings.
While the Sox have already invested heavily in their rotation (thanks, in no small part, to the commitments to injured starters John Lackey and Daisuke Matsuzaka), if the Sox are confident in his health, Oswalt could represent a pitcher who would fit the profile of the sort of free agents whom the Sox will realistically target this winter.
'There's guys that are coming off injuries. There's guys that are coming off bad performance. There's guys that are getting unlucky, or whatever,' said Sox GM Ben Cherington. 'There's pitching out there, not an abundance of impact free-agent starters.'
A couple years ago, the Sox invested in multiple veteran buy-low options coming off of injuries, signing Brad Penny and John Smoltz to one-year deals. Both returned to health, but nonetheless flopped in Boston; both, ultimately, were released before the end of the year, finishing the season with other clubs.
That said, the idea of minimizing risk while getting a pitcher who potentially could have a significant impact could take the Sox to pitchers like Oswalt. The right-hander is expected to see how the market for his services takes shape once Wilson and Buehrle sign. At that time, the degree to which the Sox are interested in making yet another at Oswalt — this time, as a free agent — will become clearer.

Sandy Survivors to Light Up Coast Tonight
(NEWSER) – One year later, the Jersey shore will be lit up to mark today's anniversary of Superstorm Sandy. Residents of a dozen shore cities will stand along the coast, shining flashlights, at sundown tonight. That's about the time Sandy made landfall, Reuters reports. More on the anniversary:
- New York will also remember, with subway fees waived today for residents of areas most affected by Sandy.
- Thousands of residents who were displaced by the storm still aren't home one year later, NBC News reports. While some families are living in homes that are partially repaired, others don't have enough money to rebuild and are still fighting red tape in order to get their insurance companies to pay, while they live with relatives or rental apartments.
- Plus, just $5.2 billion of the $60 billion federal aid package has actually been doled out, the New York Daily News reports. And as one critic, Sen. Tom Coburn, pointed out, $65 million of that was spent on tourism-boosting TV ads. But a second $5 billion round of funding will be released soon and lawmakers are promising aid will be flowing faster now; by the end of the year several hundred homes will be fixed per day.

text: Mumbai: Global crude steel output in January rose by a measly 0.8%. Steelmakers have been cutting output, notably in Europe, to cut supply and support prices. Global capacity utilization is down to 71.2%, from 77.7% in September. The CIS (Commonwealth of Independent States) countries and North America have also seen output decline. But China—which contributes 48% of global steel output—is living in a different world, with its output rising by 4.6%, marking the fifth successive month of rising output. The worry for steelmakers is how much of this output will be exported, as that can upset their supply tightening efforts.

New Year's Resolution: Financially Fit in 2012
Whether you over ate, or over spent...chances are the holidays took their toll. If you choose a New Year's resolution that focuses more on the wallet than the waist line, look no further.
I talked to an expert who is sharing tips on how to be financially fit in the new year.
Financial expert Michael Gutter says the first step is getting organized and making sure your spouse and family are on board. Because positive changes can only be sustained when everyone spending money participates. Then it's time to make what's called a "smart" goal.
Gutter says whether your goal is to save money for college, to pay off debt, or anything else- you need to follow those guidelines.
Families with significant debt or complex goals may choose to work with a financial counselor.

Cleveland Browns Vs. Indianapolis Colts Preview: Browns Face Andrew Luck On The Field, Many Challenges OffA lot has changed for the Cleveland Browns after becoming the final NFL team with a victory last Sunday.

Have We Overrated Matt Schaub And The Houston Texans?The Houston Texans are without a doubt a franchise on the rise. From their inception in 2000, leading up to last season which saw Houston make their first playoff appearance in franchise history, there are plenty of reasons to argue that Houston is on the verge of becoming one of the NFL's elite. But after Sunday night's primetime 42-24 loss to the Green Bay Packers, a game in which Houston looked heavily overmatched, the faith of many believers has been shaken. At the beginning of the season, many critics had Houston representing the AFC in the Super Bowl; have we overrated the Houston Texans?
Indianapolis Colts vs. NY Jets Preview: Tebow Expected To Get More Snaps Against Colts Porous Run DefenseNo matter which side you're on in the Mark Sanchez/Tim Tebow quarterback debate, it's clear that the rest of the New York Jets offense needs help. Expect Tim Tebow to get more snaps, but not necessarily because he's the better quarterback. The Colts have given up 135.8 rushing yards per game, bad enough to be ranked 26th in the NFL.

9 Ways to Measure Social Media
What is social media doing for your business?
If you can't answer that question, you're not measuring social media effectively.
Aligning social media metrics and analytics as part of your overall business goals will ensure you effectively use your time available for social media. It will also give you an idea of where you are right now and what needs to be done to make your social media work for you.
Here are nine ways to measure how your social media campaign is performing:
- Sales – If you're a retailer, you can measure the sales that come as a result of traffic referred by social networks. Brick and mortar stores can use coupons and promotions to see if online promotions drives offline action.
- Leads – For many companies, the sale might not come right away. Instead, measure the number of leads and the leads that resulted in sales
- Audience – Your goal may simply be to increase the reach of your PR and marketing messages. If so, you can not only measure the number of likes and followers, but also the reach of those posts and the number of people talking about them.
- Engagement Rate – Want to know if your messages are successfully capturing your audience's attention? Calculate how engaging they are. Add up the number of likes, comments, and clicks on a piece of content. Divide that sum by the total number of impressions. The number you're left with is your engagement rate.
- Influence – Your content may be engaging, and you may have a large audience, but that doesn't mean it's doing anything for you. To establish yourself as a thought leader, you'll need to measure how much of your content is being shared and used as a springboard for other people and businesses' content. Shares, retweets, reblogs, pingbacks can all be used as a way to see how effective you are as an influencer.
- Volume of conversation – Sometimes you need to know how many people are talking about a subject. Measuring the total number of mentions of specific terms will tell you the volume of conversations taking place.
- Share of Voice – To be the voice of your industry, you'll need to calculate how much of the conversation you are generating through what you say and others are saying about you. Calculate your total social media mentions for a particular term against those of your competitors to find out who is dominating the conversation.
- Site and Referral Traffic – If you're using social media to drive traffic to a website, you'll want to be watching these numbers closely. Look to see which networks and updates in particular are driving people to your website.
- Sentiment – Are you loved or hated? Use social media mentions to inform your research. Many sentiment measuring tools are not that accurate, but they can give you ideas of where you stand.
Those metrics won't apply to every business and every business objective, but at least one of those can be measured to see how social media is affecting your businesses goals.
How are you and your business measuring the effects of social media?

Feeding Raw in Northwest Florida
So Calvin is rounding the corner on 8 months and I've started investigating raw feeding to help with some skin/shedding/stool issues. I've noticed his coat is pretty dull and not very soft. He also has at least one soft stool a day (usually the afternoon or evening). From reading through this sub-forum and many of the linked resources, it would seem raw feeding could be the solution to these issues.
I've been looking around for a raw food source in the NWF area (Fort Walton/Destin specifically, though I realize I'll likely have to take a drive for this) and have found a couple options but nothing really concrete. I figured I'd query on here to see if anyone in the area feed raw and where they got it from. Thanks!

I am in your area and fed raw for a bit stopped for health reasons but am looking to add a little back.. I used Publix primarily they have more bulk options than the other stores since there's not really butchers in the area unless you know hunters, lol.
I also used Blue Ridge Beef premade raw. There are no additives and they are decently priced.. Blue Ridge Beef: Dealers - Raw Meat for Dogs - Cats
I am also looking into Nature's Variety Instinct Premade Raw.. but they are pretty expensive.
Any luck on your end?

Magdeburg Introduction
Magdeburg is proud to call itself Ottostadt.
Magdeburg is 1,200 years old, making it one of the oldest cities in Germany's eastern federal states. Few other places in central Europe have quite such a fascinating past. A former imperial seat, Hanseatic power and Prussian fortified town, Magdeburg has been rebuilt time and time again, with the preservation of its cultural riches always of paramount importance. Allow this wonderful city to captivate you!
Magdeburg, the regional capital of Saxony Anhalt and a city of some 231,000 people, is happy to acknowledge the two famous Ottos that have shaped its history: Otto the Great, Holy Roman Emperor, and Otto von Guericke. Otto the Great was extremely enamoured with Magdeburg and bestowed a magnificent cathedral upon the city. Otto von Guericke – famed for the Magdeburg hemispheres, which he designed to demonstrate air pressure – was Magdeburg's mayor and played a decisive role in the city's history after the Thirty Years' War. Ottostadt Magdeburg has preserved its cultural heritage and combined this with the vitality of a modern urban centre. This ancient city is well worth a visit at any time of the year. It can boast a multitude of attractions, a colourful history spanning more than 1,200 years, a broad programme of arts and entertainment, plus great shopping and spas.
Magdeburg also lives up to its popular description as the leafy cathedral city on the Elbe, thanks to its superb parks and long riverside meadows that are perfect for long walks, cycle tours and picnics. Restaurants and cafés are opening up all the time along the waterfront – which is good news for visitors!
This is also a city of culture. Theatres in Magdeburg offer a wide choice of entertainment ranging from musicals to ballet, so there's sure to be something for everyone to enjoy. Welcome to Ottostadt Magdeburg.

Magdeburg Cathedral is the city's most famous landmark: the first Gothic cathedral to be built in Germany and still one of the biggest churches in the country. Its origins can be traced back to 937, when Emperor Otto the First founded a monastery in honour of St. Mauritius. He went on to extend the church building in 955 and elevated it to cathedral status in 968. In 1207, the Ottonian cathedral was severely damaged in a great fire. It took until 1362 for the rebuilt Gothic church to be consecrated, and the 101-metre-high west towers were not completed until 1520. The cathedral has been Protestant since 1567.
People visiting the cathedral nowadays are struck by the monumental grandeur of the building, which contains many unique and internationally renowned features from nearly every artistic era: the original tomb of Otto I. and his first wife Edith, early-Gothic sandstone sculptures including the famous sculptures of the wise and foolish virgins, the magnificently crafted choir stalls for the canons dating back to the fourteenth century, and paintings and artworks from the Renaissance era right up to the twentieth century.
A must-see for visitors to the city, this ensemble of irregularly shaped facades and modern design – an attraction, fantasy building and work of art rolled into one – was one of the last architectural works created by artist Friedensreich Hundertwasser. The GREEN CITADEL OF MAGDEBURG was ceremonially inaugurated on 3 October 2005. It is located on Breiter Weg. Hundertwasser's aim of creating "an oasis for humanity and for nature within a sea of rational buildings", an artistic and cultural statement in the city of Magdeburg, polarised public opinion right from the offset.
As a commercial and residential property THE GREEN CITADEL OF MAGDEBURG makes a colourful and creative addition to the architectural diversity of centrally located Breiter Weg. The complex, which is open 365 days a year, is a magnet for locals and visitors alike thanks to its 55 apartments, attractive shops, hotel, office space, doctors' surgeries, kindergarten and coffee shop.
The Monastery of Our Lady, a major attraction on the Romanesque Roadand the oldest building inMagdeburg, is now home to an art museum. Its collections and exhibitions make it the most important centre of sculpture and modern art in the Saxony-Anhalt region. The museum has succeeded a unique atmosphere by combining modern art with historical architecture.
The Cultural History Museumis dedicated to the history of the city of Magdeburgand is home to important collections of craftwork, graphic art and paintings. It also contains the hall of Emperor Otto the Great, where visitors can view the original Magdeburg Horseman statue. The statue, which was created in as early as 1240, is thought to depict Emperor Otto the First. The outstanding medieval exhibitions, the Museum has become famous far beyond the German Landof Saxony-Anhalt.
Magdeburg's Elbauen Park is a particularly special destination for visitors, with state-of-the-art landscaping covering some 100 hectares. The park was created in 1999 on a former military site in the east of Magdeburg for the 25th Federal Garden Show, and is now one of the region's most popular destinations with an array of crowd-pulling attractions.Visitors flock to enjoy the site's former shooting ramparts – now converted into a leafy play area – the tropical butterfly house and the wonderful lakeside stage. From the monorail they can enjoy great views of the whole park. Elbauen Park's most striking attraction is the 60-metre-high Millennium Tower, which houses an interactive exhibition tracing 6,000 years of science and technology. The Millennium Tower is also the tallest wooden tower in the world and has become a new landmark in Magdeburg.

It is designed to connect a series of waterways in order form a directly navigable route from Hannover to Berlin.
This new place of interest, known as the Magdeburg Water Bridge, was officially opened on 10 October 2003 and now has large numbers of ships passing through it every day. Fitting in perfectly with the region's 'Blue Ribbon' campaign highlighting the delights of the river Elbe, the water bridge is sure to attract tourists and water sports fans from around the world not only to Saxony-Anhalt but to Magdeburg itself.

Besorgung - Lieferbarkeit unbestimmt
September 2002
BeschreibungWho and what is a Jew? Is there any common denominator between an ultra-Orthodox rabbi of an Israeli North African community and a Berkeley academic of the Movement for a Secular and Humanistic Judaism? Do Jews the world over convergre and emphasize their unity or do they share contrasting concepts of collective identity? Part I of this book presents a systematic discussion of Jewish identities in this era of (post)modernity. The opportunity is offered by a set of invaluable texts, which appear in Part II. These texts about Jewish identity were invited, in 1958, by Ben-Gurion from 50 intellectuals - rabbis, writers, scientists and lawyers -, from the Diaspora and Israel, representative of the principal streams of contemporary Jewish thought.
PortraitEliezer Ben-Rafael, Ph.D. (1974) in Sociology, University of Jerusalem, is Weinberg Professor of Sociology and the President of the International Institute of Sociology. He has published extensively on ethnicity and language, and is the author of Identity, Culture and Globalization (Brill, 2001-2002).

Boniva Injection
Osteoporosis Medication Linked to Unusual Thigh Fractures »
"Feb. 8, 2012 -- Some drugs used to strengthen bones may increase the risk of an unusual type of fracture if patients take them for many years, a new study shows.
Overall, most people with osteoporosis, a loss of bone density over time"...
Read the Osteoporosis Medication Linked to Unusual Thigh Fractures article »
Boniva Injection
Treatment Of Postmenopausal Osteoporosis
BONIVA Injection is indicated for the treatment of osteoporosis in postmenopausal women. In postmenopausal women with osteoporosis, BONIVA increases bone mineral density (BMD) and reduces the incidence of vertebral fractures [see Clinical Studies].
Important Limitations Of Use
The safety and effectiveness of BONIVA for the treatment of osteoporosis are based on clinical data of one year duration. The optimal duration of use has not been determined. All patients on bisphosphonate therapy should have the need for continued therapy re-evaluated on a periodic basis. Patients at low-risk for fracture should be considered for drug discontinuation after 3 to 5 years of use. Patients who discontinue therapy should have their risk for fracture re-evaluated periodically.
Important Administration Instructions
BONIVA Injection must be administered intravenously only by a health care professional. Care must be taken not to administer intra-arterially or paravenously as this could lead to tissue damage [see WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS].
- Appropriate medical support and monitoring measures should be readily available when BONIVA Injection is administered. If anaphylactic or other severe hypersensitivity/allergic reactions occur, immediately discontinue the injection and initiate appropriate treatment [see WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS].
- Visually inspect the liquid in the prefilled syringe for particulate matter and discoloration before administration. Do not use prefilled syringes with particulate matter or discoloration.
- Administer only with the enclosed needle.
- Discard any unused portion.
- Do not mix with calcium-containing solutions or other intravenously administered drugs.
- Prefilled syringes are for single use only.
Dosage Information
The recommended dose of BONIVA Injection for the treatment of postmenopausal osteoporosis is 3 mg every 3 months administered intravenously over a period of 15 to 30 seconds. Do not administer more frequently than once every 3 months.
Laboratory Testing And Oral Examination Prior To Administration
Prior to administration of each dose obtain a serum creatinine [see WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS]. Given that bisphosphonates have been associated with osteonecrosis of the jaw (ONJ), perform a routine oral examination prior to administration of BONIVA Injection.
Calcium And Vitamin D Supplementation
Instruct patients to take supplemental calcium and vitamin D if their dietary intake is inadequate. [see WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS].
Dosing After Missed Dose
If the dose is missed, administer as soon as it can be re-scheduled. Thereafter, BONIVA Injection should be scheduled every 3 months from the date of the last injection.
Dosage Modifications In Patients With Renal Impairment
Do not administer to patients with severe renal impairment (creatinine clearance less than 30 mL/minute) [see WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS and CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY]. No dose adjustment is necessary for patients with mild or moderate renal impairment (creatinine clearance greater than or equal to 30 mL/min) [see CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY].
Dosage Forms And Strengths
BONIVA Injection is supplied as a kit containing:
- a 3 mg/3 mL single-use prefilled syringe.
- a 25-gauge, 3/4 inch needle with wings, needle-stick protection device, and a 9 cm plastic tubing for attachment
BONIVA Injection (ibandronate sodium) is supplied as a kit containing a 3 mg/3 mL single-use, clear glass, 5 mL (5 cc) prefilled syringe, a 25-gauge, 3/4 inch needle with wings, needle-stick protection device, and a 9 cm plastic tubing for attachment (NDC 0004 0191 09).

Dear Daisy Mae,
I grew up surrounded by dogs, all breeds big and small and I loved them all.
Then I went off to college and, when I graduated, started working – long hours. For too many years, I lived without a dog. It wouldn't have been fair to any dog.
But, as soon as I married my wonderful husband, Esteban, I started thinking about getting a dog and Esteban smiled and said "Whatever makes you happy."
So, on Tuesday, November 13, 2012 we brought Ramon home. He was just two months old. I had forgotten how mischievous puppies can be so Ramon, Esteban and I signed up for dog school at PetSmart. Ramon is a great learner and he got along so well with his classmates, especially you, Daisy Mae, and he loved Mike Miller, his fantastic trainer.
Esteban and I had been sweethearts in High School and were married for nine years when we decided to celebrate a religious wedding on Saturday, April 27, 2013.
Then life gave us one of its little surprises; three weeks before the ceremony, I was diagnosed with cancer.
Ramon sensed that something was wrong and immediately set about keeping me company, comforting me and just making me feel good, even when we moved to Houston, Texas, for treatment. When I cried, he would lick my tears as if he was telling me "Mami, don't worry. It's just a little bump in the road."
I am so blessed with my wonderful husband, and we both feel blessed to have Ramon with us. He's our little hero.
All the best,
Jessica Hecht
Dear Jessica,
So sorry to hear about your problem. I remember Ramon with fondness. What a fun and charming little fellow. Tell him I said hi. Love from all of us – me, Mom, Pop and Pepper.

Veronica Fieldsend, Plunket area car seat manager for Manawatu/Wanganui explains upcoming changes to child car restraints to driver Asilika Turaganirei.
In the back seat is 4-year-old Gabby Titoko. Ms Turaganirei was among the 165 drivers stopped randomly by Whanganui Police, Plunket and road safety promoters this week and given information of upcoming law changes effective from November 1. From that date the mandatory use of child restraints in vehicles will be extended by two years, with all children required to be correctly secured in an approved restraint until their seventh birthday.
Drivers were stopped at checkpoints in Aramoho and Tawhero in a bid to push home that message.
Glenda Leitao, Horizons Regional Council Road Safe co-ordinator, said the response from drivers had been "really good". In a lead up to the change, the NZ Transport Agency had also been sending out promotional information to all schools and kindergartens. Mrs Leitao said the changes were all aimed at reducing deaths and serious injuries to children travelling in vehicles.

U.S. forces made serious mistakes and violated their own guidelines on the use force during deadly airstrikes in western Afghanistan, according to an interim Pentagon report. But American military officials in Kabul are still insisting that their troops did the right thing, during the May 4th assault on the village of Garani that left dozens of civilians dead. It's the Taliban who are to blame for the loss of innocents' lives, these officials say.
"The fact remains that civilians were killed because the Taliban deliberately caused it to happen," Lt. Commander Christine Sidenstricker, a spokesperson for U.S. Forces Afghanistan, tells Danger Room.
The Garani firefight has become a flashpoint in the war in Afghanistan. Secretary of State Clinton, President Obama, and U.S. ambassador to Kabul Karl Eikenberry have all apologized for the 25 or more civilians killed there. Afghan president Hamid Karzai has called for end an to American airstrikes. U.S. commanders rebuffed that plea — but pledged to do more to limit collateral damage, when American aircraft attack from the skies.
In an internal review of the incident, investigating officer Brig. Gen. Raymond A. Thomas III "analyzed each of the airstrikes carried out by three aircraft-carrier-based Navy F/A-18 strike aircraft and an Air Force B-1 bomber," according to the New York Times. In all, four 2000-pound bombs and nine 500-pound munitions were dropped on the village.
"General Thomas determined that the targets that had been struck posed legitimate threats to Afghan or American forces," the paper says. But in "several cases," he "determined either that the airstrikes had not been the appropriate response to the threat because of the potential risk to civilians, or that American forces had failed to follow their own tactical rules in conducting the bombing runs."
One plane was cleared to attack Taliban fighters, but then had to circle back and did not reconfirm the target before dropping bombs, leaving open the possibility that the militants had fled the site or that civilians had entered the target area in the intervening few minutes.
In another case, a compound of buildings where militants were massing for a possible counterattack against American and Afghan troops was struck in violation of rules that required a more imminent threat to justify putting high-density village dwellings at risk, the official said.
"In several instances where there was a legitimate threat, the choice of how to deal with that threat did not comply with the standing rules of engagement," said the military official, who provided a broad summary of the report's initial findings on the condition of anonymity because the inquiry was not yet complete.
Marc Garlasco, a senior military analyst with Human Rights Watch, hopes the review will push the American military to implement more stringent tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs) to minimize civilian casualties. After an incident last year in Azizabad killed 70 or more bystanders, Garlasco tells Danger Room, "we saw civilian casualties from airstrikes drop to virtually zero significantly reduced over a nearly 8-month period. That in itself showed the U.S. military knew how to and could implement TTPs to minimize civilian deaths from airstrikes. For that reason I was struck by the Garani incident and wondered what had changed that led to so many deaths. Now we know – the military, for whatever reason, failed to follow their strict guidelines and civilians paid the price."
But Sidenstricker, the military spokesperson, takes a very different view. "There is nothing — in the story, or that we've seen or heard elsewhere — that says our actions led to additional collateral damage or civilian casualties," she says. "And regardless, the fact remains that civilians were killed because the Taliban deliberately caused it to happen. They forced civilians to remain in places they were attacking from."
Sidenstricker and other U.S. military officials believe weapon sight video and intelligence intercepts taken from the incident will prove their case. That audio and video could be released within the week, they say.

The only time we've seen a boxing match take place at the renowned Radio City Music Hall in New York City, a prime Roy Jones Jr. (who was recognized as the best boxer on the planet) dismantled David Telesco in 2000.
Now the stage is set for another boxing superstar looking to further his status as one of the top five pound for pound fighters in the sport today. The sensational Nonito Donaire takes on the legendary amateur standout Guillermo Rigondeaux.
The super bantamweight(122 lbs) bout will take place live this Saturday on HBO.
Let's breakdown what is sure to be a wonderful night for boxing.
Guillermo Rigondeaux
The 32-year-old Rigondeaux established himself as one of the greatest fighters to ever compete in the amateurs with 400-plus fights. A clever southpaw armed with tactical counter-punching, the Cuban born Rigondeaux looks to take a huge step up in competition by facing the deadly Donaire.
Rigondeaux may have a calm demeanor in the ring but do not be fooled by his sometimes criticized style, the man has massive power.
It's easier said than done but Rigondeaux will have to go to Donaire's body to find success in the bout. Engaging in a toe-to-toe war may not be in the cards for Rigondeaux but he must do everything in his power to get to his opponent's body. Once he establishes a measured body attack, Rigondeaux's straight left hand could end up being Donaire's unfastening.
Rigondeaux cannot afford to be as relaxed as he normally is and take a moment off in this fight because Donaire will be constantly searching for the big shot.
Nonito Donaire
The meteoric rise of the 30-year-old Donaire has been nothing short of remarkable and is only comparable to the aforementioned Jones. 2012's "Fighter of the Year" dazzles all privileged enough to witness such an extraordinary athlete. The power is colossal. The speed is blinding. The pure boxing is brilliant. Donaire has beaten a who's who of the smaller weight classes and this weekend he'll face his biggest test date.
Donaire will need to be patient while establishing the pace of the fight. His jab will probably be his most important tool against a boxer the likes of Rigondeaux. The jab will offset Rigondeaux's timing and help Donaire land his best punch – the left hook.
Donaire can't be overly aggressive against the counter-puncher but he must test his chin. Rigondeaux's ability to take a shot is somewhat suspect and if there's anyone who can test that theory it's the "Filipino Flash".
The Bottom Line
Folks, this is boxing's best. A compelling chess match mixed with explosive consequences and Radio City Music Hall? Are you kidding me?
We expect a technical fight at the beginning and a vicious ending for one man. Both men have respectively contain great power in their fists but put it this way. If Rigondeaux has dynamite in his hands then Donaire has two nuclear warheads aiming for the target.

Who Is Poly Styrene?
Now Showing!
Poly Styrene was way more than just the singer of a punk band! She was example of a woman who lived in this world on her own terms. Poly Styrene captivated me from the first time I saw her on T.V. In 1979, the BBC created a very interesting documentary about her called Who Is Poly Styrene?. If any of my daughters looked up to her that would not be a problem at all. She also wrote some of the best lyrics to come out of the 1st generation of punk. Check out the really cool documentary Who Is Poly Styrene? after the jump!

EXCITING NEWS! + Our last anniversary giveaway.
You guys. YOU GUYS. I have the best news.
You all know Amy, right? Y'know, Amy–she writes lovely reviews for us and invented the DEATH MATCH (which we will bring back, I promise–it's just on hiatus, not gone forever):
I am pleased and joyous and bursting with pride to tell you that OUR AMY wrote a book. Did I tell you that already? Well, I'm telling you again, because today is a special day. Today is the day that Amy's book hit the market. It's on sale now! RIGHT NOW. It comes in ebook format for $3.99, OR the paperback version is on sale right now for $7.99. (I ordered one of each. Because I love Amy THE MOST. Also, I am the most proud of her.)
What is this magical book? It's a book of poetry!
Out of True is a slim volume of poetry, 98 pages. This is what Amy said about the book:
"It's 20 years in the making and has poetry from the past twenty years of my life. A little bit from here, a little bit from there. Hopefully (if I've done my job) you shouldn't be able to tell the difference. There are poems about a little bit of everything: magic and zombies and summer and trees and Diogenes and Delilah and snow and love and loss. Something for everyone, hopefully."
In other words, it's Amy bound up in pages (or kilobytes). She was awesome enough to send over a poem so you could read it and see how not-scary her poetry is. Because um, clearly? I can't review this book. I am insanely biased and I would tell you to go buy like fifty copies if I wrote a review. Y'all know I try to keep it real when reviewing, so instead, here is a sample for you to read:
Downed Wires
Last night you came to me and told me
to stop looking. You were older
than I remember you. You would be,
of course; a lifetime has passed.
I still recognized you, but barely.
It was your eyes that clued me in, and the
hesitancy with your hands when you speak.
You still do that.
You smelled of the lake where you used
to spend your summers
and of exhaustion, high, hot, electric. The air
thrummed between us. I put out my hand
and relished the shock. Our
hair flickers like seaweed in the charged air.
Let me go, you said. Let me go
and you'll be free. The sound
of water lapped lazy in the background.
I watched your eyes for a sign. Your words
weight me like stones in my pockets.
The boy you were runs past us
in the background, calling over
his shoulder. This is where I'll be,
when I go, he says.
Find me. Come and find me.
Not finding something
doesn't mean you've stopped looking.
Let me go, you say, but you know I won't.
You grip my wrist in panic, a circlet of fire,
and I burn to ash.
Your eyes both judge me and thank me.
I live in the intersection of this Venn diagram.
I mindlessly trace the path like a labyrinth.
My feet know the way. To walk outside
would be madness.
To walk outside would be to lose you.
To walk outside would be to lose myself.
(blinks) I'm a little verklempt. Talk amongst yourselves.
In other news, we also have our last giveaway. Now, I'm sorry that people who have already won giveaways have not yet received their prizes. THEY ARE COMING. (I know nobody has gotten them? Because I have been very busy and I haven't gotten to send them. I'm way sorry. Things have been hectic in Casa del Rodarme. I haven't even been able to tweet
much as much as usual, which, we all know I basically live on Twitter. One day, I didn't get to tweet at all and I think I almost had a seizure or something.)
This giveaway is a special giveaway, and I've decided it's only going to be open to people that have been following us. That having been said, there's no way for me to tell you whether or not you should enter. It's safe to say that if you've been here for awhile, even if you don't comment much, you can enter this giveaway. I don't have any way to check to see if people have been reading us, so I'm going to trust y'all on the honor system. (Basically, if you found us through this post that someone RT'd, please, don't enter this one. We do lots of giveaways! You can enter the next one, I promise!)
The reason that I want it to be open just to people who have been following us is that it's kind of a personal giveaway. Amy, Rob and I have put together a trio of books that are meaningful or special to us; each book was selected by a separate bookslut, so they don't really go together thematically or anything. Rob chose Interview with the Vampire; I chose Naked by David Sedaris; Amy chose The Moon is Always Female by Marge Piercy. After we chose and acquired the books, we shamelessly defaced them.
Yep. We wrote in the books. The books are full of notes from us to you.
My hope is that it kind of feels like you get to read books that we love along with us, which is why I only want it to be open to people who, y'know, know us. I don't think that other people would probably even want to read books that we've scribbled in, heh. It would be strange. (Also, this is my actual copy of Naked that I've used here. The one I've owned for ten years or so and carted all around the country with me. I love you guys THAT MUCH. For realsies.)
Note: I failed to put a deadline on this, so I am making Sunday, August 12 the deadline. 11:59pm Eastern, as usual.
So, if you'd like to win the Insatiable Bookslut Trio of Defaced Books, please drop a comment down below and tell me you're in! Do not forget, also, to swing by and check out Amy's new book! WE LOVE YOU AMY!
P.S. Sorry if I seem a little cracked out writing this post. It's because I am SO EXCITE. And also I just woke up. AND ALSO–wait no, that's all.

ZOMG, I am putting my name in the running RIGHT THIS SECOND! I know I probably won't win, but I'm saying in advance that I'm SOOPERJELLUS of the person that does. Srsly and junk.
<3 you guys, and Amy – your book rulled (heh, she will get it).
Heh, YOU rull. :)
Aw, thank you so much! I'm so overwhelmed with love today. It's been such a good day in Amy-land!
I always wonder what others think of books or parts of books. that's really awesome. :-)
Congrats to Amy!
noted up books sound wonderful. like you are talking to someone as you're reading. What a great giveaway!
I'm in, I'm in. This is an amazing giveaway. You three are the best!
And congrats Amy!
Of all of your giveaways, this is the one I would most like to win! Firstly, the books are amazing, secondly, the defacements!!! I would be so thrilled to have books defaced by the booksluts! I have been following you (that sounds dreadful – no, not in a stalky way, your blog!) for ages and ages and just want to tell you how much I look forward to your posts – and especially deathmatch, thanks Amy! I have been inspired to read books I might not have – Horns, Heart-Shaped Box and The Night Circus from the deathmatches, A Prayer For Owen Meany and lots of Margaret Atwood also because of Amy's posts; thanks to Susie for Love in the Time of Cholera and Cormac McCarthy. Some of these books are now on my list of all-time favourites! Okay, I'm rambling…please enter me!
And – how rude of me! – congratulations Amy on getting your poetry book published! I had never really been into poetry, but your lovely post about taking the fear out of poetry – and Margaret Atwood's wonderful poem on that post (the hook and eye one) – has made me want to read more of it. In fact I found all of my old poetry books from school (in the olden days, I'm quite ancient) and started looking through them.
It would be great to win some books but I just wanted to say that I'm having a lot of fun reading about books. Loved ebooks vs. paper books article. Thank you.
I've been around for a while but haven't commented (see that is totally what a newbie would say ;) but I just want to say CONGRATS AMY and you don't have to enter me in anything (even though I would love to win) because it's just nice to finally comment ;D
ok I take it back (I'm fickle like that :) I want to be entered
I read you religiously!!! I would absolutely adore these books if I won them!!!!!! I HAVEN'T HAD A CHANCE TO READ THEM ALL BUT I'M CRAVING A NEW AND EXCITING ADVENTURE!!!!!!
To whom it may concern,
Please consider this my official entry.
Thank you for your time,
I cannot wait to get my paws on a copy of Amy's book. I know there's supposed to be a paperback version soon. I anxiously await.
It's out now, it's out now! Go click the link in my post from today to see how to buy it!
Really? Last time I went over, all I could see was Kindle version. Checking!
Oh, or dur. Susie also linked to it above. I'm stupid today.
I would love to have a reading partner (or three). Count me in.
Sign me up!! What an amazing prize! It's the next best thing to meeting you guys in person:)
Holy kamoly, this giveaway is the most awesome. Please count me in!
I ordered Amy's book last night, and after reading that poem I am even MORE excited, if that's even possible. I can't wait. (The poem choked me up, big time.)
**Look, ma! No typos!
This is the kind of book-defacement that I can totally get behind.
Also, YAY BOOK OF POETRY! Congratulations, Amy!
Thanks, everyone! And there are even BETTER poems in the book! I didn't want to give away the best ones. Whoa, that sounded horn-tooty. TOOTING MY OWN HORN! RUDE! But, yeah. There are ones I like more than that one in the book (not that I don't love that one, I do, I love them all as they are mine!) so if you like that, I think you'll like the book!
Enough with the horn-tooting, sheesh. Thank you, all. :)
Congrats on the book! That has to be crazy exciting, yay!!
I love the hell out of this blog…you're getting a much coveted spot on my blog roll. ( ha ha, it's not coveted at all, but still)
Okay – I just found you guys in the last month or so – but I've
wastedspent a couple of weeks reading through your whole blog – well, I'm not quite done yet, so I would still be super-stoked to win defaced books by you.
And, based on that one totally awesome poem, I totally just bought Amy's book – because that poem was just that awesome.
And I'm complete dope who hasn't figure out how to close the strike-out here yet, even though I do it on message boards all the time. Grrr….
Sooo….YAY AMY!!! I just bought your book! And…uhm…I'd really…really…OMG REALLY like to be entered in your drawing to win those books. :) Please?
I would LOVE to have bookslut voices in my head while I read three great books. Interview is one of my favs and if you love Naked that much I know I'll love it too! EEEEE! Whoever wins is going to be so freaking lucky. :D
Verklempt is the word. Amy, I am buying a copy just as soon as there is more money going into my bank account than coming out, and it will be SOON, honest. (It better be. Also, I've been meaning to buy one of Susie's awesome pendants for approximately ever. I have some serious IB fiscal support to throw down.) My dearly beloved does the whole writing poems thing (he hates it when I say "he's a poet" as if that's all he was, so), and if there's one thing he's taught me, it's to actively appreciate the good poets we've got while they've still got a heartbeat. Like, um, you.
Also I am entering the giveaway!! I don't know if I've been following long enough to count, but I WANT to count, because I REALLY WANT TO SEE THOSE NOTES. Also, I'll never get bored with Interview, ever.
Count me in as well! I am dying to read your notes!!!
And Amy, I have put your book at the top of the list of poetry I have to read!
I think that hand picked books with your own hand written notes in them are a wonderful idea for a giveaway. Reading other people's scribbles is one of the best parts of borrowing books from friends.
Ooh I want to join this yay! :D
Also yesssss. I shall get Amy's book when I get some $!
This is the best giveaway idea! And Amy's book is definitely on my to-read list, soon soon soon.
Congrats, Amy! I can't wait to get your book.
And what a great idea for a giveaway!
Those prizes look kicking'. Consider me in.
Congratulations Amy ! Twenty years gestation period is a poem in itself.
That poem is amazing!
I'm entering the giveaway.
I'm in too!
I am so in this giveaway! And you know I've been following since the infant stage. Love y'all. Amy congratulations on the book. I love the poem you shared. Thank you. Poetry always makes me want to know the story behind the poem.
Le *sigh* I'm without Internet and missed this. I hope it's not too late as I'd love to enter.

(because we are ALL storytellers)
Queer Memoir is a NYC-based storytelling event for the entire lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and gender nonconforming community. Queer Memoir is an opportunity to give voice to our collective queer experiences as well as preserve and document our complex queer history.
At each Queer Memoir event, we host some of Queer New York's best known performers, and folks who have never been on a stage in their lives and bring them together to celebrate the ritual and community building value of storytelling.
The motto of the well known Moth story performance series is "real stories told live without notes" while the motto of Queer Memoir is "real stories told live with whatever you need to get your story told."
That means use notes, bring your friends, bring your ukele, use your herbal relaxation, ask us for support, ask the audience for support….(for more info on this and what makes Queer Memoir different than other NYC events, check out our post on The Seven Traditions of Queer Memoir) We are committed to hearing a wide range of stories, from a wide range of voices and we will work with you to help you get ready for the Queer Memoir "stage."
Please sign up for the Queer Memoir mailing list if you've like to be kept up to date about our shows, upcoming themes and call for stories. Never more than two emails a month.
About some of our past shows…..
Last year we celebrated our sixth anniversary at packed house for the Brooklyn Museum's First Saturdays..
Our fifth anniversary show (Queer Memoir: NAKED) was amazing. We were a Time Out New York Critic's Pick; nearly 150 people came out. There was plenty of metaphorical as well as some actual nakedness!
In September, we hosted Queer Memoir: EULOGY FOR A DYKE BAR at Macon Reed's um, recreated dyke bar.
Queer Memoir SUMMER. We boarded the train at the Atlantic Pacific stop on a Sunday morning at 11 am, got on and…told stories. it was an amazing morning and some of the folks on the train even stayed on past their stops hear the end of the "show." Here Erica Cardwell shares a story about her childhood in Baltimore that transported us completely……
Earlier last year we had an amazing show Queer Memoir 50+; it was guest curated by Stephanie Shroeder and Ryn Hodez: the event brought together storytellers who ranged in age from 50 to 97 years old and shared stories about everything from escape Berlin during World War II to paying for sex in the Dominican Republic.
Additionally, our Queer Memoir: WHAT IS TUZ event, which was guest curated by film-maker Nadia Awad, was recorded and was presented as part of the Asia Pacific Forum on WBAI. You can listen to the whole event online.
And who can forget Queer Memoir: DISORDER, which happened less than a week after Hurricane Sandy. The venue was still without electricity but the queers really wanted to get together, so turned one of the producer's apartments into a venue…
In summer 2017, we will be running a series of workshops to bring new work, new faces and new stories into the Queer Memoir family, keep your eyes here or on facebook for schedules and times. All Queer Memoir workshops are free, although if participants want to give a donation to help with expenses we don't turn that down.
Our biggest push in the coming year will be working with folks who have shared at Queer Memoir in the past to guest curate a Queer Memoir event of their own. To learn more about how to participate, visit our submissions page
We're always on the prowl for venues that would work for Queer Memoir events: if you know of an non-bar, wheelchair accessible, all ages space that might be a good rental choice for us, please contact kellidunham at gmail dot com and let us know. We are also always looking for community partners for events as well!

I think the z lite might be comfy enough to give up my 1" thermarest.
How well does it hold up?
Does the foam &/or bumps pack down and loose comfort quickly?
Do the hinges start to rip relatively soon?
Thanks.Jun 1, 2012 at 1:19 pm #1883057

Durability wise its fine but I personally would not sleep on one as I sleep mainly on my side.Jun 1, 2012 at 1:28 pm #1883061

I agree with Stephen. Very durable but not a great choice for side sleepers. I know a number of people who swear by them, but I just need more cushioning. They are awesome to have in camp and make great seats. I usually carry a short section to even out the bumps in my pack (SMD Swift w/ stay) and use it in my quilt (which has a sleeve at the foot for one). If you sleep on your back, then you'd probably be fine.Jun 1, 2012 at 2:00 pm #1883071

I slept on one two weekends ago just to see how it was and it was actually not as bad as I expected. The one thing I would say is, if you're a side-sleeper (as I am), you'll want a really solid pillow. I woke up with my whole upper arm numb and ended up pulling my pack under my backpacking pillow. After I did that, I slept surprisingly well.Jun 1, 2012 at 2:02 pm #1883074

I like the z-lite a lot. As said, very durable; no problems with the folds or the bumps. The bumps are a bit wrinkled and obviously not new, but they don't seem to have lost much or any comfort. I'm not shy about using it on the ground when lounging; that's one of my favorite things about CCF versus my heavier self-inflating pad.
I sleep on my back when I'm asleep but need to be on my side to fall asleep, so on hard, oft frequented campsites, I have problems. A simple solution is to fold the z-lite so that there's two or three sections under my hips. I bought a full length pad and cut it so that I have one 9 section pad and one 5 section pad; 9 is enough for my torso when the last two are doubled up, or a bit extra if not. But the best solution is site selection; camp on a surface that's comfortable to begin with and then add more cushion with the z-lite. Not always doable but it's a cornerstone of UL technique in my opinion.

If I were in my 20's, that's what I'd get. Unfortunately, I'm quite a few decades beyond that point and would be screaming in pain all night if I tried to sleep on one. As with any sleeping pad, I recommend trying it out on the floor for a night or two before deciding to keep it.
I did get them for my grandkids. The oldest has the newest version (with reflective coating); the middle one has an older version; the youngest has one that Thermarest once made as a dog sleeping pad. The last is 36" long and has a picture of a dog embossed on one end; otherwise it looks like any older Z Lite, back when they were all gray instead of fluorescent yellow or orange.

I inspected my honey super on April 25th about a month after moving the bees to my property and found 5 of the 10 frames at least partially filled with uncapped honey. If things have progressed as I expect, I should have one honey super full now. I placed two honey supers on when I originally set the hive up not knowing any better.
But my question is: If I find the top super full (or nearly so) do I remove it completely or just swap places with the bottom honey super?
If I remove it, then what? Is it too early to harvest the honey? The guy I bought the bees from said I ought to wait until the 3rd week in June to harvest any honey but didn't say why. I'd appreciate any advice you have to offer.
