Growth of a premature baby
Patient : Dear Doctors my Sister Husna suffered from infertility for about 2 years after her marriage. But after getting continuous treatment for her frequent miscarriages and infertility she got conceived and gave birth to a male Pre-mature baby( in 8 months). But right form the birth the baby is suffering from several problems. Breathing problems, indigestion problems, unable to suck mother's milk and low calcium in bones. my sister also was unable to secrete the required milk and so he was given lactogen as proscribed by the doctor. Now the baby is about 7 months old but he is unable to do anything. the baby keeps lying on bed. he is not active as other babies of his age. he is unable to even stand on his legs wen we support him. his neck is as same as he was during his birth it does not stand properly.My sister is very scared of my nephew. he does neither crawls nor he turns by side.he always keeps lying on bed.

As part of the "future of photobooks" experiment, I want to list the books I bought this year. If there's concern about the future of photobooks, then surely it's because there's a feeling that people are no longer interested in purchasing them. Maybe this information can shed some light on the audience of books produced by smaller publishers or individuals.
These titles are listed in reverse chronological order, in the format Author-Title-Publisher-Price-Place I bought it. Note that 100 yen is, very roughly, $1.
Tatsuya Shimohira, "Family." Self. 500 yen. Totem Pole Photo Gallery.
Abe Jun, "Citizens." 2000 yen. Vacuum Press. Sokyu-sha bookstore.
Marten Lange, "Anomalies," Kim Hyunjin, "Even Your Ears," Noriko Takazawa, "Sensation." 38 euro shipped (over 2 purchases). Farewell Books. Farewell Books site.
Noguchi Yasuko, "Sakurabito," 1000 yen. Vacuum Press. Sokyu-sha.
LP Magazine #1 and #2. 500 yen each. Self. Sokyu-sha.
Hamburger Eyes #13. $20 shipped. Self. Online through Kickstarter.
Asada Masashi, "Asadake." 3300 yen. Akaaka. Konica Minolta Plaza.
Kawauchi Rinko, "Utatane." 3000 yen. Little More. Some big bookstore.
Fresh off my last job, I began the year spending a lot on two books from relatively large Japanese publishers, Little More and Akaaka. After that I mostly bought books published by small presses (Vacuum, Farewell) or individuals. These books appealed to me because I they were affordable! I'm sure many other people make decisions in same way. How many undergraduate photography students today could easily drop $50, or even $30, if they saw a book they wanted?
Luckily, the pleasure of buying a book doesn't correspond to its price—who was ever happy about buying an overpriced college textbook? An inexpensive, independently published book can still be entirely satisfying to purchase. That said, just because it's a labor of love doesn't make it cheap: Marc gave me some gentle ribbing on Twitter when I said that spending around $28 shipped for an independent photobook was steep for an online impulse buy. (Which it still is!) Compare that to my experience when I walked into Totem Pole Photo Gallery, picked up Tatsuya Shimohira's zine and bought it on the spot when I heard that it was 500 yen.
Just as film has found its audience shrinking, maybe the same thing is happening to photobooks. But small publishers should still find readers under these conditions: without the need to support a large staff, they can easily adjust the scale of their projects to fit a modest audience. There will never be an Impossible Project for photobooks, because producing a book, especially in small batches, is relatively simple. Indeed, given how easy it is, it's tempting to to consider the idea of a small, international community of publishers and book buyers, where everyone supports each other, ends up with each other's books.
So, the field is open to anyone—with money, that is, and that's where I see more questions than answers. Are these endeavors always a passion project? How do small or individual photobook publishers stay afloat? Do they ever break even on a book, let alone make money? I'm sure there are people out there willing to share the answers to these questions, so I'll ask them and report back here.

What are we looking for?
Danger signs. Alarm bells. Flashing red lights. And a way out.
Today, we're going to take a look at how to crunch the numbers to identify things you usually want to avoid owning.
For more than 20 years, CPMS, an equity research and portfolio analysis firm owned by Morningstar Canada, has been running a screen to identify the stocks with the most troubling combination of fundamentals in the Canadian market. The 30 worst stocks out there, according to the criteria it looks at, comprise the CPMS Dangerous Model Portfolio.
How does the screen work?
There are six indicators CPMS uses to determine how "dangerous" a stock is:
- earnings growth over the trailing four quarters;
- price-to-earnings ratio, based on the consensus earnings forecast for the next 12 months;
- earnings surprise - the percentage by which the stock fell short of the consensus earnings estimates for the most recent quarter;
- percentage by which earnings estimates for the current year (or, once we've entered the fourth quarter, for the upcoming year) have changed over the past three months;
- the ratio of debt to equity;
- the ratio of trailing-four-quarter cash flow-to-debt.
Stocks are given a percentile rank within each category, with a score of 100 indicating that a stock is the single worst stock in a given category.
The rankings subsequently feed into a weighted scoring system that penalizes a company more for weaknesses in certain areas rather than others. CPMS does not disclose the weightings that it applies to each metric.
CPMS runs all 655 Canadian stocks in its database through this screen. While the final portfolio actually comprises 30 names, CPMS has provided 20 names here - and they are the worst of the worst.
What did we find?
By design, this is supposed to be a list of "stocks to avoid," according to Jamie Hynes, senior account manager with CPMS.
Nonetheless, it's a list that's behaved badly of late in an unexpected way. In 2009, Mr. Hynes noted with some puzzlement, it was actually up 85 per cent. Going all the way back to December, 1985, the model's annualized return is around minus 8 per cent and even with last year's pop, the three-year return is minus 18 per cent. A case of every dog having its day perhaps?
This year, things appear to be more moving back to the mean.
In May, the Dangerous portfolio underperformed the TSX by 4.7 per cent and is also down year-to-date.
This is actually the third time Number Cruncher has taken a look at this particular list and one thing that stands out is a three-peat by Ivanhoe Mines Ltd. in cracking our version of the most-dangerous list. It's actually the name that's had the longest run in the Dangerous Model Portfolio, having been added in October, 2006. Over that time it is actually up 114 per cent and so not typical of the names on the list - chalk up its counter-trend presence to it not trading on fundamentals and on expectations and the outlook for commodity prices.
The second longest denizen on the list is more typical of the names here. Kingsway Financial is down about 80 per cent since it was added in May, 2008.
What to do if a name you own is on this list? Take a close look at why you own it, do some research, and decide if it's still a name you want in your portfolio.

Ben Brady Flashes His Baby Blues Out With Tom and Gisele
Gisele Bundchen and Tom Brady carried Benjamin and an armload of gifts to a friend's house in LA on Saturday. Gisele looked fresh-faced and gorgeous, showing why she's once again the top-earning model in the world. She puts in hard hours to look so great post-baby including a workout with fellow Brazilian model mom Camila Alves last week. Tom has been spending as much time as possible in California with his wife and sons, but even when he has to be back in Massachusetts for Patriots duty it only means sweet reunion kisses when he returns.

Ability Sequence
Not Updated For Current Season
The masteries shown here are not yet updated for the current season, the guide author needs to set up the new masteries. As such, they will be different than the masteries you see in-game.
after u build the Vampiric Scepter you gain an even higher sustain plus u can fight the enemys now with Sheen and lifesteal.
You could also Enchant furor but i would recomment Alacrity because your movment speed is very low.
The Deathfire Grasp doesnt give you ad but based on the fact that all your abilities deal magic dmg u increase your dmg output by 20%.
You might change the Infinity Edge to a Warmog's Armor but you get very much hp with your passive and your lifesteal.
Abilities==> ==> ==>
your Mace of Spades is your main dmg skill in late game because it's your only skill that scales with ad.
Your Creeping Death gives you some sustain in the fight and healps you farming if your hp is low and your enemy is ranged or is a burster.
Your Siphon of Destruction is your farming skill it does very much dmg even without ap.
Your Children of the Grave can change fights very easy and it gives u health back even on ad you heal for the ammount of dmg ur ult does.
When the enemy who gets ulted by you dies in the time your ult is active you gain a ghost.
The ghost gets a percetage of your stats and you gain a percentage of the ghost stats.
Summoner Spells
I would recomment to use Ignite and Flash as summoner spells.
Ignite pushes ur ult and makes it nearly impossible to survive if they are under 30% hp and u ignite them while u ult.
Flash is just a very usefull skill to close gaps or to run away. It can save ur life more than once a game :).
you could also use Ghost for mobility but i recommend Flash because you can shorten the ways or be a little trixy.
*high sustain
*strong burst
*strong dot
*hybrid dmg
*incredible strong late game
*easy to get tripple while in GA
*if CCd you die
*no slow/stun
*weak agains burster
*weak early game

In an earlier entry in this "Casino Poker for Beginners" series of articles, I explained how agreements between friends to soft play each other — a practice called collusion — is unethical, against the rules, and a form of cheating. But there's another form of collusion that frequently crops up spontaneously at the poker table between strangers. It is just as wrong as the planned variety, though those who do it often aren't aware of that fact. Read Full

Just one cache can be challenging
NEW LONDON -- Just by chance, moments after attending a Geocaching 101 program at Sibley State Park did I find out just how popular the activity of Geocaching really is.
It started with finding the first waypoint -- a marker, sign or hidden object -- that had the next set of coordinates needed to eventually find the park's treasure.
I'm standing in the middle of the beach area's picnic tables, in front of the little Sibley Store that quenches your thirst or satisfies your sweet tooth with a long list of ice cream treats.
With my GPS in hand, I start the aimless wander I have become accustomed to, following the direction my GPS tells me and looking at it blankly when it shows I've gone too far.
It seemed the location of my first clue was the information kiosk, but all those walls held were the typical state park history of the area and some program flyers.
So I wandered some more.
Then I noticed something. There were others wandering, too. And in the same manner: head down, looking at some rectangular thing and every so often muttering incoherently.
Since I only had six cache finds to my credit, this was something new.
So we traded greetings and ideas of where this first clue was hidden. I could swear I was right and it was right under our noses.
A minute later, another family started making the circle around this kiosk. Once more, a few traded comments and more searching.
I'm not going to tell you if I was right or not. The only thing I will say is that I wasn't the first of the nine other people I met to find it first.
Once I had the new coordinates, it was off to the next location. I knew I'd be going in the right direction, because two other families had a head start.
But having a head start didn't mean much as I quickly caught up to them, only to find that they were reinacting the scene in the picnic area. Lots of walking around and looking down, but no quick finds.
To make matters worse, we were party crashers of a sort. Others were enjoying a nice afternoon picnic in the area where we were searching. I noticed a few bewildered looks being cast our way.
If you really want to find something, bring along some children. They are usually the first to find something, as was the case here.
Finally, the last waypoint was in sight, figuratively, of course.
It was rather straightforward, but in the end the feeling of accomplishment outweighed any goofy-looking things we were doing.
I got my Critter Card, which is the main reward for geocaching at a Minnesota state park. It's my second this summer.
Hopefully, I'll get a few more before fall.


text: I dated a single mom before, but the kid was 6 and eventhough I wasnt fond of my Ex's mom being there all the time. I now understand how many times she bailed us out so we could have some time alone. This new girl does not have an kind of famly help and the baby is 5 months old. Advise, pros, cons, comments, its all apriciated.

How's everyone doing this first week of October?
For me, we're having warm temps (talking about mid to upper 80s) these last few days. I guess summer is giving us her last gasp before fall time arrives for good. I am also really busy with work and pretty exhausted by the time I get home. In between all that, trying to coordinate a small dinner party this weekend to celebrate DH turning the big 4-0 this year. Mark is insisting we need to make Daddy a Lightening McQueen bday cake, just like his.
I don't know what cake I will make yet, but it probably won't have any cars on it. I also have got a cardboard box & some red spraypaint so I hope to start working on Mark's Halloween costume soon too. Busy busy busy - that's my life at the moment.
How is everyone else?
Thanks Jaidynsmum for another perfect siggy!!

What Does it Mean to Be Jewish?
I love questions that do not have one right answer. They allow each of us to explore the question and connect in our own way. Defining what it means to be Jewish is a perfect example. Close your eyes. What images come to mind when you think about what it means to be Jewish?
The InterfaithFamily staff from across the country (San Francisco, Chicago, Philadelphia and Boston) came together for two days of retreat and meetings in our national office. One of the first questions posed to us was "What does it mean to be Jewish?" In true retreat style, paper and markers were brought out and we each got to draw our own answer to this profound question.
What would you draw to show what it means to be Jewish?
I drew a picture of a home and, next to it, people holding hands in a circle. You may notice that my artistic ability is not amazing. My people took the form of stick figures and I showed diversity by using every color of marker that was available. As I started to think about how to explain my drawing to my colleagues, I realized you could "read" my picture from left to right like English, or from right to left like Hebrew.
In "English," my drawing says that one needs Judaism in their home to transmit values and traditions to the next generation. Then, one needs a community to share those values and traditions. To deepen the connections and share the experiences. But my explanation didn't stop there.
I thought about my own family's history and that of many interfaith households. For them, Judaism often starts with the community, reading my picture in "Hebrew." It is with this community and their support that each individual family can find Jewish traditions and values that they want to embrace. Often they don't have the tools to do this on their own. For them the community aspect is imperative. And with a supportive community, Judaism can infuse into traditions in the home as well.
My colleagues came up with so many different interpretations. I'm curious what you imagine when you answer the question, "What does it mean to be Jewish?" Please share your thoughts in the comments section—and remember, there is not one "right" answer.
The Spirituality of Mindfulness Meditation
If someone had told me two years ago that I'd be spending a half hour most days of my life sitting on a cushion focusing on my breath, I would have told them they were crazy! (Then again, if someone had told me 15 years ago that I'd be living in the suburbs driving a minivan I would have told them they were crazy too. Fact is, we never know what the future holds or what we may decide to embrace.) But for the past year and a half I have been practicing mindfulness meditation.
I began my practice by participating in a MBSR (Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction) eight-week foundation course in the winter of 2011, and after developing a daily (well, almost daily!) practice of my own and attending a terrific Jewish Meditation Retreat led by Rabbis Jeff Roth and Joanna Katz of the Awakened Heart Project, I participated in a ten week practicum in which I trained to teach MBSR.
My study – and much more important, my practice – of mindfulness meditation has taught me a great deal. I originally enrolled in the MBSR foundation course a year and a half ago because I was seeking a way to reduce stress and anxiety, which are all too prevalent in so many of our busy lives. I realized that I was often running from here to there as if I were on a treadmill from which I'd never get off – work, errands, my three kids' activities, you name it! I usually felt like my day was one big "To Do" list that I was trying to get through. And too often I wasn't succeeding – let alone enjoying the moments in the process. Even on the days when I did "check off" everything on my To Do list, I usually ended up feeling exhausted and depleted, and not very satisfied.
I hoped that my MBSR practice would help me feel less stressed, more relaxed and more focused, but I never expected for it to be a spiritual experience. After all, I'm a rabbi. I find spirituality in prayer and Jewish ritual. I never expected to find spirituality in just SITTING!
But boy have I learned a lot. My mindfulness practice has taught me so much about the importance of being in the moment – of being truly present in my life. I have come to realize that my mindfulness practice is fully interwoven with my Jewish spirituality. After all, the blessings we say in Judaism are all about being mindful. For example, when I say HaMotzi (the blessing over the bread) before eating a meal, it causes me to pause and be mindful of how grateful I am to have my food, as well as to appreciate where it came from and the human work that went into creating it and bringing it to my table, and to recognize that eating is a sacred act. Or when I put my hands on my children's heads on Friday night and recite the traditional blessings for children, I am mindful of how lucky I am to have them in my life as well as how fortunate I am to be part of a religion that spans thousands of years of history and thousands of miles of geography.
When I'm truly mindful, whether it's during a meditation sit or going about my daily life, I experience a wonderful sense of spirituality. In a way, my meditation sits are like "little Shabbats." Like Shabbat itself, they offer me a time to BE, and not just a time to DO. And just as the beauty of Shabbat can be carried into and infuse the other six days of the week, the beauty of mindfulness meditation has come to enrich the moments of my life when I am not meditating. I now have a greater sense of being truly present – and not just "getting things done" – as I move throughout my life.
Recently, the teacher of my MBSR practicum shared a beautiful saying in class. She spoke of how we are all human BEINGS and not human DOINGS – yet all too often we live our lives as if we were "human doings" and not "human beings." For me, mindfulness meditation and Shabbat (along with blessings and many other rich resources from the Jewish tradition) help me to remember this and to spend more of my life BEING – truly appreciating the beauty in the world, and in my life – and not simply DOING. I find that my mindfulness practice hasn't just enriched me personally but it has also enriched my relationships with others as it has enabled me to be more present for them.
These days, on my daily "To Do" list (which is still as long as ever!) I have a "To Be" entry, reminding myself to take time every day for meditation and contemplation. And I have no doubt that this is very spiritual!
What about you? Are there things you do that you find helpful to be more present in your life? Are there religious rituals that bring you a sense of mindfulness and gratitude? I'd love to hear from you in the comments section below.
Is God Taboo?
Many will agree that taboo topics of conversation include sex, politics, money, and religion. We're guided not to discuss these things at work, sometimes not even with our extended family, but do we talk about them at home, with our spouse? With our children? If you don't talk about these topics, how will your children know what's important to you?
Jim Keen states, in response to his daughter's query, "What is God?" in When My Jewish Child Asks Me about God: A Christian Parent's Perspective,
Certainly, none of us want to leave a large gap in our child's development. So, let's start talking about it.
Answer these questions for yourself: Where does God live? How does God listen? Does God ever sleep? Does God forgive me? Does God hear my prayers? Children are thinking about these things and developing their own responses. Ask your child what he/she thinks. Share your ideas. If you're stuck, check out the Children's Spirituality Quest Set published by Skylight Paths Publishing in Woodstock, VT. They are designed for children ages 3-6, but I've used them when teaching teens. This set is perfect for any family; it has been "endorsed by Protestant, Catholic, Jewish and Buddhist religious leaders."
Another book you may consider adding to your child's library (or your own), In God's Name shares insights from many different people about qualities that they see in God and what each calls God. This book allows the reader to create his/her own connection to God and adapt one of the names in the book or develop his/her own name for God.
My personal favorite is called God's Paintbrush. In writing this, I discovered that there is now a special 10th Anniversary Edition of God's Paintbrush. In the introduction, Sandy Eisenberg Sasso tells a sweet story of a child explaining to his grandmother why he likes this book so much. "It's because it asks questions." When asked if the answers to the questions were in the back of the book, she explained, "no, the answers are inside you."
Sandy continues,
She goes on to share some ideas for how to read and utilize the book to open the door for conversation.
So start your conversation. Take the "taboo" label off God and start talking about God with your partner, with your children, with your family, and maybe even with your friends!
Understanding Our Commandments
We are half-way through one of our online classes, Preparing for a Bar or Bat Mitzvah in Your Interfaith Family. One of the sessions is about the concept of "mitzvah," the word in the name of this life cycle event, "bar mitzvah" or "bat mitzvah."
Mitzvah is a Hebrew word that means commandment. The word mitzvah is in many Jewish blessings. The Friday night candle lighting blessing says, "Blessed are You, Adonai our God, Ruler of the universe, Who make us holy through commanding us to light the Sabbath lights."
Because of the commanded language, some rabbis hesitate to permit those who aren't Jewish, who have not formally through conversion taken on the commandments, to say the blessing and do the ritual. Thus, a mom who is not Jewish, who has raised Jewish children, may not be able to light the candles at the Friday night service before her child's bat or bar mitzvah in some synagogues.
In the session on mitzvot (plural of mitzvah meaning commandments), we asked our class how the parents understood the concept of being commanded. Two interesting comments came up:
It seems that those connected to liberal Jewish families understand "mitzvah" in much broader terms than adhering to the actual ritual or ethical commandments of the Torah, as elucidated by the rabbis in the first centuries of the common era. This should be no surprise as Reform Judaism, in particular, can be fully expressed when lived within the spirit more than the letter of the law.
I would think that liberal rabbis would also understand "b'mitzvotav vitzivnu" — "with God's commandments, God has commanded us" in a broader sense. There are moms and dads connected to Jewish families who understand the concept of "commanded" as guiding their lives in profound ways. To keep someone from saying blessings with commanded language because they are not technically commanded seems misguided in some circumstances, as the comments above beautifully prove.
Leo Baeck (1873-1956) was a German rabbi, teacher and writer who led the push for Progressive Judaism (which today encompasses Reform Judaism). He taught that God's commandments can be understood by the individual as boiling down to the ultimate statement of "Thou shalt." It is up to each of us to fill in that blank, "Thou shalt _______." It's clear that the parents in this class are harkening a call for ethical and moral living by filling in the commandments in a broad sense — and this is powerful.
If you are in Chicagoland and would like to take one of our on-line classes (with opportunities for in-person sessions), please register at www.interfaithfamily.com/Chicago. The next round starts in February.
Learning to Pray
This summer I met with the senior staff at Temple Chai in Long Grove, IL. The staff told me about a chavurah (fellowship group) that had grown organically at their synagogue, made up of mostly interfaith families with young children. One request the staff at Temple Chai had heard from the parents in this group was the desire to have a learner's service on Shabbat so that they (and older children) could come to understand the whole Jewish worship experience on a deeper level.
On November 17 at 10:00am, the Learner's Service: Shabbat Unpacked will take place, and I will be co-leading the service with Rabbi Stephen Hart and Laura Siegel Perpinyal, their Director of Congregational Learning. We have been working on a handout that will unpack five main prayers in the Shabbat morning service. For each prayer we offer three ways to understand it by sharing the history and background information for the prayer, a brief "instruction manual" to understand how to "do" the prayer in terms of choreography, and a timing explanation in terms of when the prayer is said during the service and why.
As we go through the interactive service, we will highlight these five prayers and share even more through music, explanations about the meaning of the prayers historically, and how we can make them our own today. There will be childcare for young children, but children are welcome to join in the service as well.
In order for Jewish prayer to be meaningful, maybe especially for someone who didn't grow up being exposed to Jewish worship, several things have to happen. Hebrew has to be grappled with. Most people in congregations can't translate prayer book Hebrew word for word. Yet, through understanding basic Hebrew roots (the letter core of words), which often repeat and shed light on the meaning, one is able to gain a tremendous amount about the nature of the prayer. For instance, the root for "holy" in Hebrew is three letters, koof daled shin. These three letters form the word kiddush (blessing over wine), kadosh (the actual word meaning holy), and kaddish (the prayer said by mourners). Yet even if one knows many Hebrew root words, understanding prayer transcends literal understanding of the words. This is because much of prayer is poetry. So the sound the Hebrew makes and the rhythm is important (this can be understood by just listening to the Hebrew being said or sung). As well, reading the English translation can tell you what the prayer says, although thinking about the imagery and the repetition of words can bring deeper meaning. Thus even though Hebrew may feel like a barrier and a challenge, one can understand prayer on some level even when just beginning to learn Hebrew.
Other ways to make Jewish prayer more meaningful are to learn about the prayers (as will be a goal of this service), to contemplate Jewish views of God and one's own sense of spirituality, and also to seek meaning in being part of community. Prayer can be deeply meaningful when the images in prayer of peace or shelter, for example, lead us to action to brings these ideals to reality on earth.
Rabbi Abraham Joshua Heschel, one of the 20th century's leading theologians, once said those "Who rise from prayer better persons, their prayer is answered." Jewish prayer can feel mysterious, boring, antiquated, and removed from what we know and understand today. Yet it can also elevate, inspire, and connect us. I hope those of you in Chicagoland will join us for a lively and upbeat prayer experience on November 17.
Life Cycle Innovations
A couple recent articles relating to Jewish life-cycle events caught my eye.
For starters, via Jewschool we learned about a Wall Street Journal piece looking at birth ceremonies. Specifically:
Manhattan lawyer [Epstein] recently asked New York federal judge Kimba Wood to grant him a day's reprieve in a criminal trial to attend the bris of his grandson. Epstein's daughter has not yet given birth — so he doesn't yet know the sex of the baby. But Epstein wanted to give Judge Wood ample notice to consider his request, given that his daughter's due date is Dec. 3, smack in the middle of the scheduled trial.
I then learned of virtual bar mitzvah studies via the NY Times:
If dating, shopping and watching TV can be revolutionized by the Internet, why should bar and bat mitzvahs be immune? Parents who once might have turned to their local synagogue for Hebrew lessons and spiritual guidance are now turning to Google…
It was interesting but it's too bad that they focused on the downside of group learning – or highlighted the ease of individual learning. Learning with others (chavruta especially) holds many benefits for both religious and secular studies.
I'd be remiss if I didn't point out that our clergy referral service isn't just for weddings – we can direct you to clergy for all life cycle events, from a baby naming or bris to bar or bat mitzvah to weddings and funerals.
On Perceiving God…
Our good friend, Rabbi Jamie Korngold, was on MSNBC's Jansing and Company on October 8th discussing perceptions of God with David Campbell, co-author of American Grace: How Religion Divides and Unites Us. Rabbi Korngold is author of God in the Wilderness and the Executive Director of Adventure Rabbi, the Boulder-based organization which offers amazing and innovative local and national programs that are inclusive of interfaith families and take advantage of the natural inspiration of the outdoors.
David Campbell did an excellent job describing how Americans perceive God and how these perceptions can shape how one votes. He looks at how the "growing inter-mingling" in our relationships (read: interfaith relationships) also impacts our understandings of God and how we vote. Rabbi Korngold talked about how the Jewish view is that God does not directly intervene in a single act but rather inspires us to make the world a better place. Repairing the world, or tikkun olam, is an essential part of the traditional Jewish covenant with God. The hope is that those who relate to the idea of tikkun olam, that there is a divine responsibility within all of us to repair the world, will keep that in mind when seeking out candidates and will vote for those with similar beliefs.
Spiritual Journeys
An interesting article appeared in the most recent edition of our local Jewish newspaper, The Jewish Advocate, outlining the interfaith, interreligious, intercultural practices of one of our community members.
Friday afternoon he goes to the Mosque for the Praising of Allah on Shawmut Avenue in Roxbury for the Jumu'ah prayer. By 6 p.m., he is at Temple Beth Zion in Brookline, throwing on a tallis to drum for the Shabbat services. He returns to TBZ on Saturday morning for Torah study and services. Sunday he begins the day at the Bethel African Methodist Episcopal Church in Roslindale and then heads to his own church, the Unitarian Universalist First Church of Roxbury.
Wow. That's quite a commitment!
He and his interfaith family are members at Temple Israel in Boston, where his three daughters, who were raised Jewish, all had bat mitzvahs.
Possibly of interest to our readers in the Boston area,
For a class at TBZ, Rabbi Waldoks asked White to draw on his personal experience. On four Tuesdays beginning Oct. 19, he will teach a class at TBZ called "Spiritual Journeys: Sharing Our Personal and Communal Narratives."
It sounds like it will speak to those of us who continue to grow and wrestle with our Judaism – and those who are in interfaith families/relationships.
Earth Day
Today is Earth Day. Zik Daniel, whom I follow on Twitter, linked to a Carl Sagan video. It's Sagan reading his speech, "The Pale Blue Dot."
Yes, Carl Sagan was Jewish. He was also a true agnostic about God, a skeptic and a secular person. Nevertheless, the videos circulating on the internet with his speeches feel intensely spiritual. As I'm still mulling over the experience of writing the Jewish Spirituality Resource Guide for our site, and trying to think about how to talk about these difficult, intensely personal subjects with my kid, I am filled with appreciation and love for Sagan.
Meaningful Spiritual Practices and New Translation of Psalms
I have often felt uncomfortable with the word spiritual. It's usually used in a way that makes me feel inferior, because I don't know if my experiences measure up. I mean, I get a lot out of traditional Jewish practice, like prayer and making blessings and doing mitzvot and stuff like that, but I can't say that what I'm getting is spiritual. It's a little zap or zing of feeling, something emotional, but maybe that's not spiritual? I don't know. I also get a little thrill reading poetry or listening to religious music in other traditions, like Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan or Mavis Staples–but is that a spiritual thrill?
Nevertheless, I wrote a Jewish Spirituality Resource Guide for our site, after about three months of research and introspection–and kvetching. (The kvetching was surprisingly fruitful, if utterly unspiritual, because people responded with their insights in the face of my whining.) I thought a lot about how interfaith families have unique opportunities for hiddur mitzvah, making the performance of commandments extra beautiful and excellent.
After I wrote my piece, I found this blog post on jewsbychoice.org, Three Meaningful Spiritual Practices for Rural Isolated Jews. I love this! The practices that I chose for my guide were very community-based ones, and I am so happy to see something about how to find something meaningful on your own.
Another nifty thing I came across after I wrote my guide was Pam Greenberg's The Complete Psalms: The Book of Prayer Songs in a New Translation. I'm friendly with Pam and really excited about this new edition, which becomes available today. You can read and hear an interview with Pam on the pbs.org website. Psalms are a really important part of Jewish (and many Christian!) worship services, so a new translation that gives a chance to rethink them is very exciting. (Plus I'm so stoked to realize I watched Pam working on this at the Diesel Cafe! That's just nifty, you know?)
I'd love to hear from you about your meaningful spiritual practices.

It was like a gnawing in the pit of my stomach – something was missing. I began to build my personality around this feeling of lack, thinking I needed to defend or hold onto what little I had. I defended my beliefs, my opinions, my money, my relationships. Without them, I had no idea who I really was -
Luckily for me, around that time, I woke up -
or, to put it more bluntly, I was cracked open!
I needed to be cracked open, because, even though I was trying so desperately to be happy, I didn't realise that my mind, my beliefs - and the stories I was telling myself - were all part of the problem!
The Universe got my attention on more than one occasion - because I was a slow learner! These times included :
a motorcycle accident where I had the tunnel experience of near-death, which you can read about in
"The Possibility Exists."
a complete psychological meltdown due to stress.
a separation, divorce and single parenthood which left me questioning myuself and everything I believed in.
an incredibly powerful enlightenment experience.
a period in intensive care when I wasn't sure if I would ever walk out of it.
When I finally learned to stop seeking for "happiness" outside of myself - in things, relationships, possessions and all of that - my journey began.
After those serious wake-up calls, along with my powerful near-death experience, I began to doubt my own propaganda.
Did I really have a high IQ?
Was it intelligent to think so negatively about myself?
Was it intelligent to be cut off from my emotional world?
Was it intelligent to drink seven coffees a day?
Was it intelligent to do things just to make people like me?
Was it intelligent to hate some of my own thoughts?
Was it intelligent to think I was bad and defective in some way?
Was it intelligent to always avoid conflict even it meant denying my own truth?
Was it intelligent to stay in a relationship which wasn't good for me?
I seemed to lack the basic intelligence of how to care for myself in healthy ways.
I had no idea what my deep needs were, let alone how to get them met. I had no idea how to love myself. What chance had I then of really loving another? I had no idea how to be happy.
After many years of counselling, healing, psychotherapy and lots of other strangely wonderful experiences, I realized that I had been missing something really important. I didn't find it overnight but I can honestly say that, over a 15 year period, I did find something. It transformed my whole life - from the inside out. What was it? Simply3 this.
I learned how to say Hello to ME. All of ME. I learned to open. I learned to sit with pain, mine and others, without trying to fix it.
I learned all about my defense mechanisms, my projections and my shadow. I learned how to hold - and how to let go. I learned how to set healthy boundaries. I learned to not blame others for being themselves.
I learned to notice all the energy I was wasting and then I learned how to reclaim it. I learned how to feel all my emotions unconditionally because they were mine. I learned how to be at peace with ALL THAT IS. As all this developed I began to deepen in love with me, then with others, then with life.
Many teachers and courageous souls accompanied me along the way. The journey has been a revelation, as it is for anyone who begins it.
Looking back now, over 15 years later, it all seems strangely surreal, as if I'm looking back at a different person in a different life. Back then I was a successful businessman with a great life - according to many people! I had read lots of self-help books and understood the power of positive habits and how to "succeed". The truth, however, was that I lived inside a cocooned idea of who I was. That idea of who I was had been shaped by others.
I had no deep connection to my true self. While I had a strong self-image, that's all it was - a self-image - or an "image of self" if you like. It certainly wasn't the real me!
I had become a master at pretence, hiding my fears and low self-esteem behind a projected outer layer of confidence. My passive-aggressive personality was also hidden away, buried by the internalised belief from my childhood programming: "I don't do conflict - because I'm a good person." I showed everyone how happy I was - and how sure I was of myself and my place in the world. It was too scary and vulnerable to let people see what was really going on.
I didn't want to admit to the world that I was full of fear, and that I didn't feel good about me. I didn't want to admit to myself that my life had started to crumble, and that I had started hearing a voice whispering inside me! Listening to that voice was the best thing I've ever done. It was that inner voice that we all have. It whispers things you know to be true, but you ignore them. In my case, it took me by the hand and dragged me, coaxed me, little by little, into having an honest look at myself. It eventually brought me to a place where I found everything I wanted – inside. It was so strange to realize that there was nothing wrong with me.
These days, I'm a little wiser. I'm not so interested in my IQ or your IQ -
but your HQ, Holistic Intelligence,
is what gets my juices flowing.
I love to teach and inspire people to be emotionally open, non-attached to their thinking, physically healthy, and fully connected to their own unique spirit.
Like most of you, I am always changing, creating and co-operating with Divine Intelligence, but right now I am ...

David Sedaris Quotes About CollegeQuotes about: College
A week after my drugs ran out, I left my bed to perform at the college, deciding at the last minute to skip both the doughnut toss and the march of the headless plush toys. Instead, I just heated up a skillet of plastic soldiers, poured a milkshake over my head and called it a night.
There are a lot of college writing textbooks that will include essays and short stories, and after reading the story or essay, there will be questions such as "Have YOU Had any experience with a pedophile in YOUR family?" or "When was the last time you saw YOUR mother drunk?" and they're just really good at prompting stories. You answer the question, and sometimes that can spring into a story.

Pop-up spaces
With all the companies which have popped up (pardon the pun) in the last year or two posting listings for pop-up locations, our team has been working on a new site which launches in early 2016 which highlights the hidden fees these companies charge, the questions you really need to ask when renting a space for a pop-up to ensure you are legally renting, why you should be giving your money to the property owner and not the website listing the space, and we will provide no-commitment listings with contact information for the property owner and/or broker for your targeted location. We also offer location services if required, however with the information we provide to you free of charge, you will reduce your costs from your commitment to these web sites. image ©MartinMargiela/Paris

Good afternoon! There's less than a month left of the WNBA regular season, and a lot still unsettled. Let's get going.
stever (RebKell Reader)
Is Anne Donovan getting too much flak for the Sun's season so far?
Mechelle Voepel (2:06 PM)
I'm not sure how much criticism she's getting from fans, but I think she was put in a tough situation. I was chatting with some ConnSun fans who happened to be at the Solheim Cup golf event last week that I was covering. I asked them what they were feeling as fans, and they said they felt like some of the players were unhappy with Donovan because of the regime change, when that's really not her fault. Once management made the decision to part ways with Mike Thibault, somebody else had to take his place. But this "discontent" scenario was why I thought the Sun would not be a playoff team this year.
Jonathan (New York)
Do you think Chicago will have success in the playoffs? While Fowles, Delle Donne, and Prince are pretty potent, it seems that the rest of the team remains unreliable offensively.
Mechelle Voepel (2:09 PM)
I am not sure if "unreliable" is the right term ... those are three pretty potent scorers, and I think the rest of the squad knows their roles are supporting on offense. But I understand the gist of your question; after all, we saw that Indiana won the WNBA title last year because the Fever had people who had been more in supporting roles step forward in the post-season to carry a lot of offensive weight. I think the bigger questions for the Sky in the postseason are how will they react since this is a first for the franchise, and will EDD be healthy throughout.
jbb1985 (ny)
The WNBA seems to be a Dickensian tale of two halves with some early hot teams gone into a tail spin and cold/ injured teams gone hot. In your experience, does the 2nd half momentum hold going into the playoffs, or is that the 3rd half so a flip-flop for many teams is likely to occur.
Mechelle Voepel (2:15 PM)
That's a pretty good way to put it, in terms of how teams can be cruising along and then start to hit some bumps. But as to how that plays out in the postseason, we've seen a mix. Go back to 2009, '10, and '11 and the team each year that most people would say was "the best" won the title. Then last year, I thought the Lynx were still "the best" going into the playoffs, but they didn't win. I think it's really hard to pinpoint what goes right/wrong in the latter part of the regular season for teams. Sometimes it's injuries, sometimes fatigue, sometimes a tough scheduling stretch, sometimes it's looking ahead to the playoffs and getting just a little lax about taking care of business beforehand.
Charles Bingham (Delaware)
It look likeTulsa is in the lottery again, do you think that Simms is the best fit for them. Out side of the hype Diggins is a bust.
Mechelle Voepel (2:19 PM)
The 2014 draft is a long way off, and I wouldn't label Diggins a "bust" just yet. But ... if the Shock do end up in the lottery, which appears likely, and they actually get a No. 1 pick (don't hold your breath with Tulsa's luck), I think Maryland's Alyssa Thomas would be hard to pass up. Just her combination of skills and her physicality. But, again, a lot will happen between now and 2014 draft day.
Frank (Chi)
Honestly, Im not a fan of the WNBA at all. But its hard not to like Delle Donne! If last years draft was done over shouldnt she be the #1 pick?
Mechelle Voepel (2:23 PM)
I thought perhaps EDD's terrific-to-watch game and her "backstory" would lure in some sports fans in Chicago who previously were not interested in the WNBA. It appears that is the case. As for whether she *should* have been No. 1, I still think Brittney Griner is extremely talented and is going to have a very, very good career with Phoenix. Last draft was one of those times when, as I think Rebecca Lobo put it, you had essentially 1 and 1A choices atop the draft, and both were really the equivalent of a No. 1 pick. I don't think Phoenix made a mistake - the coaching change might have been needed even if EDD had been the Mercury's pick - and ultimately, both players have seemed very happy to be with the team they are with and in the city they are in.
Jonathan (New York)
If you are Cheryl Reeve, what is your biggest concern about the Lynx?
Mechelle Voepel (2:29 PM)
Probably two things: that the Lynx may have games where they have lapses defensively, and that they might run into a team that is a little "hungrier" than they are. Because if you look at what happened in the WNBA Finals last year, those are things that hurt the Lynx. Especially not playing defense at the level they are capable of. Maybe Coach Reeve has a tape of Finals Game 3 that she is holding back for the moment she really wants to fire up her squad. But overall, I think the losses the Lynx have incurred in their last 10 games might be used to Reeve's advantage in terms of inspiring the Lynx to finish strong heading into the playoffs. That said, I don't think you can underestimate how difficult it is to maintain long winning streaks in this league when there is talent on every team.
kevin (macon ga)
Gary Kloppenberg's contract is apparently up at the end of the season. Will the Shock make a coaching change?
Mechelle Voepel (2:32 PM)
Let's see how they perform for the remainder of this season; even when they were out of contention for the playoffs last year, they competed well down the stretch. There is no doubt that "we're building toward next year" has worn thin with the fan base, but in some ways Klop has spent last year and this year kind of undoing a lot of the wrong things that were done in the two years before. The Shock will need to look at a lot of things, including how well Klop relates to the players, how they feel about playing for him, how much progress did the franchise actually make this year. I think he deserves at least another season, but let's see how they finish out this one.
Niecy (NYC)
Well another season of disappointment with the NY Liberty. Given that the team had players that look good on paper (allbeit some too old) and another championship winning coach who failed to deliver, what will the Liberty need to do to turn the tide & become the winning team they used to be back in the early days?
Mechelle Voepel (2:35 PM)
The Liberty aren't out of the playoff race yet, though; they still could nab a spot. Are they a championship-caliber team? No, not close. I thought if Laimbeer could establish a new mindset and at least make the playoffs this season, that would be a success. Whether those things have or will happen, still remains to be seen.
Chris (Dinkytown, MN)
Should Bill Laimbeer have been suspended for saying that Maya Moore "should be hurt"? It seems that a fine is nothing more than a slap on the wrist for something so egregious; for a mentality that ALL sports seem to be trying desperately to distance themselves from.
Mechelle Voepel (2:46 PM)
That was a ridiculous thing for Laimbeer to say, even if he was ticked off that Moore was in the game when she was. It's none of his business who the other team has in the game and at what time. I'd say that for any coach, not just him. This idea that a pro team has to be worried about another team's discomfort about how bad they're getting beaten and by what players? Give me a break. The idea that Cheryl Reeve had Moore in the game late because she wanted her to get "player of the week" is just silly. Like that's some huge coveted honor that will mean so much to Moore. Please. Laimbeer doesn't regulate himself very well about these things, and it hurts his reputation. Which is a shame, because he does know the sport very well, and he's done some great things for the WNBA. But I understand how - when he says stuff like this - some people really dislike him. Should he have been suspended? Frankly, yeah, I think sitting him at least a game for a mean-spirited - and potentially dangerous - comment like that would have been justified. The last thing the WNBA needs is the mentality that any player should be labeled a "target" for any reason.
jbb1985 (ny hinterlands)
In the past it seems some rare players as soph or later in their career can "double jump" two teams' worth in AA voting (i.e. from Honorable Mention (HM) to 2nd team, or from 3rd team to 1st). A one team jump is much more common. It seems there might not have been a "triple jump" where a soph/ junior/ senior player in WCBB goes from no prior AA status to 2nd team or from HM to 1st team. It appears this upcoming season might have an unprecedented "quad jump" or a "triple jump" with Breanna Stewart not achieving AP All-American HM, and she could look pretty good to AA voters. If you had guess, where is Stewart in pre-season AA -- 1st, 2nd, or 3rd team, if the voters care about precedent before the first dribble, and Breanna had an uneven frosh year that was front- and back-loaded?
Mechelle Voepel (2:53 PM)
OK, wow, when I first glanced at this question, my eyes went to "triple jump" and I initially thought it was about track and field. :) I'm often asked how AP voters "think," and the answer is that everyone has their own ideas about these things, and there is no specified, general thought process that everyone follows. That said, I would guess most people view the ups of Breanna Stewart's freshman year at UConn as the true indication of what kind of player she is, and she'll be on a lot of first-team All-American ballots. She was so dominant in the Final Four, and everyone there saw the player that she had been projected to be. I expect her to pick up where she left off.
kevin (macon ga)
The US Open announced plans for a retractable roof over Arthur Ashe Stadium. How will that affect play going forward?
Mechelle Voepel (3:00 PM)
I know it's going to cost a lot of money, but I'm glad they are doing it. It's such a bummer during Grand Slam tennis tournaments when there are lengthy rain delays and nothing to watch. I just think it's a good idea to have this option.
Mechelle Voepel (3:01 PM)
Thanks for all the questions. There will NOT be a chat next week, but we will resume the following week.

Cucumber and Watercress Salad
I was really excited about this salad because I love playing with random simple salad ingredients (and it received very high reviews at the FoodNetwork website). I have to say that for a number of reasons it was just ok for me. First, I thought the dressing was a little too sweet. I love adding a little honey to salad dressing, but this was more honey than I wanted (or needed). Our other big problem was that our grocery store cucumber had less than no flavor (which was the fault of the cucumber and not the recipe). It literally just tasted like water - there was no flavor to it at all. And the watercress wasn't as peppery as some I have had, which I thought would make for a great salad, but that extra peppery flavor might have done more to balance out the sweetness of the dressing. Overall, if the cucumber had that fresh cucumber taste that I really enjoy the salad would not have been quite as disappoinging. It would have been a little sweet, but still tasty. Instead I'm just going to have to settle for the salad being pretty and easy to make, but a little blah.
Recipe after the jump!

text: I bought an already built MB about two years ago and it worked very well. I have used it as a shuttle for when I fish in my drift-boat. I made a bike rack to fit on my boat trailer and that has made it even better. I wasn't prepared for the amount of tinkering and "watching everything" as these things seem to require. And the steel frame is pretty darn heavy. But overall it has been good. I let my step-son ride the bike over to his friends house for a visit. They saw him ride up and thought it was awesome, so they each took it for a spin, again and again and again. When they ran in out of gas, they filled it up and went on some more rides. Gas without oil mix ... : ( Seizure!! I recently bought a motor kit and am getting ready to mount it to an old mountain bike I have. I'm not as mechanically inclined as I'd like to be, and hope this forum can help me avoid some mistakes and solve some of my problems. I've already read some things that will help me. Thanks already! Look forward to some helpful communication and some laughs along the way ... Later, Skibbs

The other scene is for my off time and has all my games on it, NFL and MLB apps, etc... I'd love it if there were an app to change these scenes automatically. For example, I'd like to schedule it so my work scene displays from 8-5 M-F and my home scene displays every other time and it changes automatically. Is there anything out there that does that?

Should Doctors Charge a "No Show" Fee?
Many doctors who work in group practices are now paid a flat fee, per patient, per year. It essentially means the physician gets the same amount regardless of whether you have just one appointment or 10 appointments a year. So a doctor paid on that basis doesn't really lose money if a patient misses an appointment. However, protecting the doctor's income is not the sole motivation for imposing a "no-show" fee.

Review by AHS-Wolfy
The 2nd in the Captain Alatriste series picks up the story not long after the the 1st with our heroic Spanish captain contemplating re-enlisting to avoid possible repercussions from his earlier adventure. But before he can his friend don Francisco de Quevedo, poet, swordsman and highly celebrated wit at court, requests his aid in another dangerous escapade. An acquaintance of Quevedo's has asked his help in rescuing his daughter from a convent where illicit practices are being performed by the priests. A daring rescue plan is set in motion but no sooner do they storm the convent but soldiers and agents of the Inquisition appear and it seems as though they have walked directly into a trap.This tale is again narrated by Inigo Balboa, son of a dead wartime companion currently being cared for by Alatriste, and continues to be beset by the same problems as the earlier book. Told from after the event and including reference to future times any possible suspense to the outcome is rendered obsolete. Even when Inigo falls prey to the Inquisition you know that nothing too serious will happen to him otherwise he would be unable to fight in future battles that he recounts. The major plus continues to be the scene-setting where cultural excess is balanced by political disaster which will lead to Spain's downfall. I won't be averse to continuing the series but it's not one that I will go out of my way to pick up.

Hautcoeur is finally Vert
By Laurent Picard
Last Updated: 01/01/70 1:00am
Midfielder Yohann Hautcoeur has completed his switch from Le Mans to St Etienne.
Midfielder Yohann Hautcoeur has completed his switch from Le Mans to St Etienne.
The 24-year-old Frenchman has been a model of consistency for the French yoyo club, and was a key player in last season's 11th-placed finish in Ligue 1.
But he has been convinced by coach Ivan Hasek to join Les Verts and is looking forward to the fresh challenge.
"For a few weeks, I have really wanted to go to St Etienne, now it is done," Hautcoeur told Ouest-France.
"I am happy and relieved. Friends have told me about the pleasure of playing at the Stade Geoffrey-Guichard."
The Frenchman still had another season left on his contract at the Leon-Bollee, and while the officials at the club did their best to keep him, they have been left lamenting the loss.
"I tried to convince him to stay," Le Mans director Alain Pascalou declared.
"But as a player, he wanted to experience something else. His transfer represents an award for the work of our academy.
"He has the talent to succeed there, and to face that big challenge. Physically, he is unique. He is the only player I have known who can finish the famous Basboong [fitness] test.
"When I told my friends in football, they couldn't believe it even in Italy. He is a real phenomenon."
Hautcoeur's debut for the club could come in the first game of the new Ligue 1 season against Sochaux on Saturday.
