Mishloach Manos
Purim: When, How, What?
Hey everbody! It's Purim Today!!!
Do you know what Purim is?
How do we celebrate it?
We had a question IF it's OK to marry on Purim
So, we asked a Rabbi on Askmoses.com who said that we do NOT marry on Purim since we do NOT want to MIx the two Simchos together, as to NOT to take away from the significance, the importance & the holiness of Purim!!!
What is Purim?
A. Purim is a Jewish holiday celebrating G-d's problem with one ancient anti-Semite's Final Solution. The story of Purim is the subject of the Scroll of Esther, one of the 24 books in the TaNaCH. Purim is one of two Jewish holidays enacted by the Sages in contrast to the biblical holidays commanded to Moses. (The other is Chanukah.)
B. Purim is the plural for lots in Persian. Haman (pronounced Hah-mahn), the chief of staff of the Persian Empire, attempted the ethnic cleansing of the kingdom's Jewish population. He cast lots to determine what date would be best to wipe out the Jews, came up with the 13th day of the Hebrew month Adar, dispatched an imperial Jew-annihilation order to every government office, and sat back to take a drink. Little did Haman know that the recently coronated Queen Esther was Jewish and the cousin of his arch-nemesis, the Jewish government official Mordechai. Through his palace contact Hatach, Mordechai begged Esther to intervene, which she did—greatly annoying her royal hubby Ahasuerus (AKA: Achashverosh) who was rather ruffled to hear that someone wanted to murder his wife and her whole extended family. "Who's the slob?" snarled the king. "He's sitting right in front of you," sobbed Esther. "'Tis Haman!" Haman and family were hung, the annihilation order was countered with a Jewish self-defense provision (which resulted in empire-wide street combat between the Jews and their enemies), and the Jews triumphed.
Jews were the doctors and lawyers of their day. They were successful… they climbed all social ladders, they were Persians. But somewhere, somehow, they forgot about G-d
C. To mark this great miracle, Mordechai and Esther instituted that every year the 14th of Adar, the day the Jews rested from battle against their foes, be celebrated with feasts and rejoicing.1
D. Purim is more than just a dramatic true story. While outwardly an ethnic celebration, its inner significance is its hidden spiritual side–the restoration of the Jewish people's tarnished spiritual identity. At the time of the Purim story, all the world's Jews made their home in the contemporary superpower, the Persian Empire, which stretched from India to Ethiopia. They were the doctors and lawyers of their day. They were successful–profoundly, proudly successful. They were doing great. They identified with their host society, they fit in, they climbed all social ladders, they were Persians. But somewhere, somehow, they forgot about G-d. When their prestige, position and powerful connections failed them in the face of Haman's hate, when even their own sister in the palace did lunch with their main malefactor, they turned all their hopes to Heaven and rushed headlong into the open arms of their Fathers' faith. The resulting spiritual renaissance so reinvigorated and revolutionized Jewish society that in a few short years, the Second Temple was built and the 70-year Persian Exile came to a close
1. Esther 9:20-32. In Shushan, the Persian capital, the Jews continued to defend themselves on the 14th of Adar and rested on the 15th. The 15th of Adar is also a holiday. See "What is Shushan Purim?"
How is Purim celebrated?
1. Take a Scroll
Go to your local synagogue and listen as the whole story of Purim is read from a hand-written scroll of parchment called a Megillah. The Megillah is read once on Purim eve and a second time the next morning, Purim day. During the reading, make sure to make lots of noise when the name of Haman is mentioned. You might want to get hold of a "gragger" a special noisemaker for the occasion. (If you are unable to make it to synagogue, contact your closest Chabad Center. It's quite likely they can get someone to come read the Megillah for you.)
…to celebrate in a way that you're coasting on a plane that takes you beyond your natural inhibitions and constraints. Let loose and celebrate
2. Food Gifts
Send a gift of at least two ready to eat food-types to at least one friend on Purim. See Mishloach Manot: Who What Where and When?
3. Gifts to the Poor
Give a monetary gift to at least two poor people. It is best to give directly to the poor on Purim but if that is not possible, give to a charity organization or place money in a charity box. See Why do we give charity on Purim?
4. Eat
Some time on Purim day, have a great feast. The Talmud instructs us to get so "spiced" (drunk) that we know not the difference between blessed is Mordechai and cursed is Haman. Obviously this does not apply to minors or those sloppy with their drinks. The idea is to celebrate in a way that you're coasting on a plane that takes you beyond your natural inhibitions and constraints. Let loose and celebrate. (Remember: Purim practitioners drink responsibly. Don't drink and drive.) See If getting drunk is inappropriate, why is it a Mitzvah to get drunk on Purim?
5. Thank G-d
We add a short section of thanksgiving to the Amidah and to the Grace After Meals. See Where can I download the prayers for Purim?

Actually, Purim has the least prayers of all Jewish holidays. (Perhaps we are intended to spend the day rejoicing and uniting with our fellow Jews, not holed up in the synagogue).

When is Purim?
Purim is on the 14th day of the Hebrew month of Adar.1 [During a Leap Year, Purim is on the 14th day of Adar II.]
For the year 2009, Purim starts at nightfall, Monday, March 9th, and ends at nightfall, Tuesday, March 10th. [Click here for the exact times of nightfall for any location.]
Purim celebrates the salvation of the Jewish nation over Haman's decree of annihilation. Click here to read more about What is Purim? , How is Pruim celebrated?, and also What is Shushan Purim?.
The following are the beginning dates for Purim for the next few years:
2010 — nightfall, February 27
2011 — nightfall, March 19
2012 — nightfall, March 7
1. In certain cities in Israel, Purim is observed on the 15th of Adar and is known as Shushan Purim. See What is Shushan Purim?
What is Shushan Purim?
David: What is Shushan Purim?
Rabbi Marcus: Shushan Purim refers to the day after Purim. It commemorates the day when the Jews of Shushan, the Persian capital, finally rested after defeating their enemies.
Rabbi Marcus: The Book of Esther1 records that in the rest of the kingdom, the Jews fought and beat their enemies on the thirteenth of Adar and rested on the fourteenth. That's why Purim is celebrated on the fourteenth. But in Shushan, due to a special request by Queen Esther, the Jews received special dispensation from the king to continue fighting on the fourteenth—hence Shushan Purim, which is celebrated on the fifteenth of Adar.
David: I heard something about walled-cities and Shushan Purim?
Rabbi Marcus: Indeed. Shushan was a walled city. So in order to commemorate the celebration of the Jews of Shushan, other walled cities celebrate Purim on the fifteenth as well. Now, because Shushan was the capital city, it was considered prestigious to celebrate Purim on the same day as Shushan. The problem with that was that at the time that Purim was established, all the cities of the Land of Israel lay in ruins. So in order to grant some prestige to the Land of Israel, the sages said that inhabitants of any city that had a wall around it in the days of Joshua—even if now it lay crumbled—should celebrate Purim on the fifteenth like Shushan.2
Rabbi Marcus: In this way the Land of Israel was honored in the commemoration of Purim. If a city did not have a wall in the days of Joshua but had one in the days of Purim, its inhabitants would read on the fourteenth (except Shushan, which did not have a wall in the days of Joshua).
Rabbi Marcus: The Rishonim point out the connection between Joshua and Purim: Haman was a descendant of Amalek, the perpetual enemy of Israel. Joshua was the first to wage war against them (see Exodus 17:9). Thus the celebration of Purim is associated with Joshua.
Rabbi Marcus: Today, Jerusalem and Shushan are the only cities that are considered walled-cities as far as Shushan Purim is concerned. There are other cities in the land of Israel about which there is some doubt. The inhabitants of such cities, like Safed, observe the fifteenth as well "just in case." (I.e., they read the Megillah but without saying the blessing.)
[Read the sequel to this chat: How do un-walled cities celebrate Shushan Purim? ]
· 1. Esther 9:16-18
· 2. Talmud tractate Megillah 2a-b. Maimonidies laws of Megillah 1:4-5
David: How do un-walled cities celebrate Shushan Purim?
David: I'm back again with another question…
Rabbi Marcus: My pleasure! What's on your mind?
David: How do un-walled cities celebrate Shushan Purim?
Rabbi Marcus: Well, it is a festive day, which is celebrated with a bit of feasting, though not as much as Purim proper. We omit the Tachnun prayer as we do on Shabbat and holidays. You can't fast on Shushan Purim; and if there is a funeral, we shouldn't know from it, no eulogy is said. You don't say the special prayer for Purim (v'al Hanissim).
Rabbi Marcus: Good news, though: if you want to get married on Shushan Purim, you can! (Though you can't on Purim, since we don't mix one joy with another. That's why you can't get married on a Jewish holiday. You have to give each celebration its own platform and date.)
Mishloach Manot: Who, What, Where and When?
Everyone is required to send a food package to at least one Jewish acquaintance on Purim. This package is called Mishloach Manot — distribution of [food] portions. The package(s) must consist of at lease two different ready-to-eat food items and/or beverages.
Here are some Halachot pertaining to Mishloach Manot:
1) This Mitzvah must be performed during the daylight hours of Purim day;1 preferably after hearing the daytime Megillah reading.2
2) If you have little children, make sure they too send Mishloach Manot to their friends.3 It's tons of fun, and educational to boot!
3) It is customary to send the Mishloach Manot via a third party. Little children make great, enthusiastic messengers! Also, have some treats handy to give out to those children who will be delivering Mishloach Manot to your home, and remind them to recite the proper B'rachah.
4) For reasons of modesty, men should send Mishloach Manot to male-friends, while women should give to female-friends.4 Alternatively, one family can send Mishloach Manot to another family.
5) It isn't proper to send Mishloach Manot to a mourner. This includes anyone who has, G-d forbid, lost a father or mother within the last twelve months, or someone whose spouse, brother, sister, son or daughter has passed on within the last thirty days.5
6) Though we are required to give Mishloach Manot to only one person, someone who gives to more people is called "praiseworthy," and this is a traditional opportunity for expressing our gratitude and friendship towards others. Nevertheless, it is better to spend money on giving Purim charity than on elaborate Mishloach Manot.6
7) The Mishloach Manot must consist of Kosher food. Now, duh…
See also Why do we give away food on Purim?
· 1. Kitzur Shulchan Aruch 142:5
· 2. One should have in mind Mishloach Manot and Charity to the poor, when hearing the Shehechiyanu blessing for the Megillah reading. (See Siddur Yavetz on Purim).
· 3. Pri Megadim Orach Chayim 695:14. See also Shevach HaMoadim laws of Purim 11:6.
· 4. Kitzur Shulchan Aruch 142:4

Here's the claim. It sounds too preposterous to be true, even to me, and I know it's true.
MPC's Family Forest® Project has now strategically compressed such a large quantity of knowledge and intelligence onto a half-ounce piece of plastic that a standard CD can be data-mined to generate tens of billions of pages of mostly unique ancestral history charts, books, and reports.
To put this number of pages into perspective, consider this from Google co-founder Sergey Brin. In the February 20, 2006 issue of Time magazine, he said that Google indexes 8 billion Internet pages, and if all of those pages were printed on paper and stacked, the stack would be 500 miles high.
And to put this height into perspective, commercial jets usually cruise at less than 7 miles high.
Does anyone know of any other instance of MPC's level of digital compression of knowledge, in any field, ever having been achieved?

House debate touches on abortion
Rutland Republican tried to debate Planned Parenthood's role as abortion provider
A debate in the Vermont House over children being exposed to toxic chemicals delved briefly into the abortion issue, resulting in a lawmaker being ruled out of order.
The House advanced a bill Tuesday cracking down on toxic exposures, but not before Rutland Republican Rep. Tom Terenzini tried to debate Planned Parenthood's role as an abortion provider.
After lead bill sponsor Rep. David Deen of Westminster said a Planned Parenthood official testified about the effects of toxic chemicals, Terenzini argued that Planned Parenthood had done more harm to unborn children as an abortion provider.
That drew a point of order from Rep. Ann Pugh of South Burlington. Speaker Shap Smith ruled Terenzini's comment was off-topic and impugned the integrity of a committee witness.

Like Craigslist? Me, too. I've scored many a great deal on the classified-ad site.
Just one problem: For every single listing that says it has an accompanying "pic," you have to click through to actually see that picture. To me that's the very definition of "hassle."
In the past I've written about browser add-ons for previewing Craiglist images, but recently I discovered something interesting: Craigslist now has its own tool for previewing images.
I'm honestly not sure when it debuted. Could have been last week, could have been six months ago. All I know is, I didn't notice it until now. Maybe you didn't, either.
The feature is hiding in plain sight. When you look at the listings for a particular category or the results of a search, you should see a link just above the listings that says show images:
Click it, and what do you know? A thumbnail image appears alongside each listing (where applicable). And if you mouse over that image, you'll immediately see a larger version:
This isn't perfect. The enlarged images aren't large enough for my liking, and the preview shows only one image, even if the listing has several. But it's still a major time-saver and a very easy way to preview what's "beneath" a Craigslist ad -- no browser extension required.
It probably goes without saying, but if you want to turn off this preview, just click hide images.

The journey to beauty through wellness.
The well being and beauty world started out with simple, yet powerful, natural ingredients sourced from Earth. If you are like us, your mother (or grandmother) told you to use these natural ingredients in your hair, face, body and much more. However, somewhere along the way, we adapted to chemicals + harsh ingredients in order to make a product inexpensive (at times) and last well beyond its natural life expectancy.
At Terra, we believe in beauty without harshness. This means that everything in our beauty products are made from hand selected, real ingredients – as it should be. We carefully tailor each product with love and choose specific ingredients for its original benefit. With this philosophy + culture, we allow you to know what you are putting on/in your body and the powerful benefits it will have for your beauty and well being.

In 1995, The Good Home Co. began with a dream and $5000 in my home kitchen. I hoped to create a line of products using natural ingredients whenever possible and that smelled of wonderful memories inspired by summers spent with my grandparents on their farm.
The inspiration started with a child. Agatha came into the world in 2008, and while she was a super chill baby, her skin was definitely throwing temper tantrums. All the normal, gentle, "skin friendly", "earth friendly" options were exhausted and so was Megan Elizabeth, Agatha's mom. The final attempt was to make things at home and see how they worked. The results were amazing and led Megan Elizabeth to look into other things she could make herself.
Over the years, an idea began to form. Megan Elizabeth read more labels, listened to many people have similar complaints about products in the mainstream market, and shared unique experiences with people that wanted to make things themselves. "If only" seems to be the phrase that started out many people's wish list for a product... and the she thought, "Well, maybe we can make 'if only' a reality."
Thus, the Narwhal and the Manatee was born. Offering a unique, personalized experience, this bath boutique gives each and every cu

GM introduced the next suspect in its new GMT900 line of large SUVs, the 2007 GMC Yukon and swankier Yukon Denali. It's added an element of GMC-ness to the trucks, with a more distinctive front-end design compared to the Chevy Tahoe. The Denali's interior also looks pretty good from afar. We'll hold our opinion until we get a-near.

| 5.2°C Belfast
A coroner has recorded a verdict of suicide over the death of a woman hit by a lorry who left her family a note apparently saying the so-called "bedroom tax" had caused her "considerable anxiety and stress".
Stephanie Bottrill, 52, walked across a motorway and climbed a safety barrier early on the morning of May 4 last year and died of multiple injuries suffered in the collision.
The area coroner for Birmingham and Solihull, Zafar Siddique, said: "Given the evidence of notes left of her intention, I am satisfied she intended to take her own life."
The case of Ms Bottrill, of Meriden Drive, Kingshurst in Solihull, West Midlands, made national newspaper headlines after son Steven Bottrill claimed she had blamed the Government's housing policy for her actions in a suicide note - specifically the spare room subsidy or "bedroom tax".
The former postal worker, who lived alone in a three-bed terrace home, agreed to see her GP the day before her death, after her family expressed concern.
Mr Siddique, summing up the evidence of Dr Bindu Nair, said that when Ms Bottrill attended, accompanied by daughter Laura Bottrill, she had been "clear-headed" and given a frank account of a history of anxiety.
"She informed me she had called her children in the early hours of May 3 2013, saying she couldn't cope with the stress and wanted to end it all, and had written a note planning to jump off a bridge," the GP said, in his statement to the coroner.
Dr Nair added: "She expressed unhappiness at being pushed by the housing department to make a decision in half an hour, in reference to being made to move into a smaller property."
He added that Ms Bottrill was "happy to move but it was the way in which she was forced to make a decision" which had caused her "considerable anxiety and stress".
Today's inquest into Ms Bottrill's death at Birmingham Coroners Court heard she had the option of a move from her home of 20 years, to another a smaller property in Sheldon, Birmingham.
Solihull Metropolitan Borough Council said Ms Bottrill must have been "confused" about the location of the home, as it does not offer homes in Birmingham, adding there would never have been a scenario where she would be asked to make a quick decision.
A council spokesman also said Ms Bottrill had never been "forced" into any move.
Medical notes revealed she had been suffering with "stress and depression from her life circumstances" since 1993.
In 2005 she took an overdose of anti-depressants, said Mr Siddique, and in June 2010 was prescribed diazepam for anxiety over a neighbour dispute.
Ms Bottrill said she was "still coming to terms about whether to move or have to pay extra to stay in her current property," said Dr Nair.
The GP concluded she was "not clinically depressed" and "had shown insight into her problems", agreeing to come back to see the doctor a few days later.
A police investigation into the collision concluded there was nothing the lorry driver could have done to avoid Ms Bottrill as she stepped into the truck's path on the M6 southbound, between junction 4a and 4, just before 6.15am.
In notes left for family, summarised by Mr Siddique, Ms Bottrill had made clear that it was " because of the housing changes she felt under considerable anxiety and stress," he said.
After the inquest, her brother Kevin Owens said "For social housing to work it needs for everybody to take a turn.
"When you're adequately housed by successive governments, and your needs are met, you must give somebody else a turn
"It's terrible that people in this country are cramped into one and two-bedroom flats with children while other people sit on three bedroom houses.
"Our thoughts go out to the lorry driver whose life has been blighted by this, and we just wanted to pass on our thoughts to him."
Mr Owens also disputed his sister's claim of being forced into a decision.
"She wasn't prepared to give somebody else a chance as far as I'm concerned," he added.
"For social housing to work it's a system where people need to take their turn and when their turn is over they need to pass those houses on.
"Much has been written about 'bedroom tax' pushing her - it wasn't, because prior to that she'd attempted suicide before and that hadn't been reported before.
"It might have been the catalyst to push her but, was it just an excuse she was looking for? - That's all I've got to say."
A Solihull council spokesman said there was "never a requirement for Ms Bottrill to move".
Houses were not imposed on people, rather householders selected from a list of available properties, made bids on their choices and in Ms Bottrill's case she had been successful with two properties, they said.
"The last contact we had with Ms Bottrill (on May 2, 2013) was that she wanted to talk about moving," the spokesman said.
"It was never a situation where she would have been asked to make a decision in half an hour."
Ms Bottrill had also been eligible for a £3,000 discretionary housing payment - a type of grant aimed at covering the costs of moving home.
A spokesman for the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) said it was "a tragic case and our sympathies are with Mrs Bottrill's family".
"The council was working closely and supporting Ms Bottrill with the changes."
The DWP added ending the spare room subsidy had been "absolutely necessary to get the soaring housing benefit bill under control, returning fairness to the system and making better use of social housing stock".
The rules had already applied to housing benefit claimants in private rentals, they said, adding £345m was available to councils to support vulnerable people affected by the reforms.

Sorry, but i had to post my observations, it is too amusing sometimes to notice how the Korean mating dance take place.-The girls act all coy and demure while the guys make asses of themselves trying to impress them with every full on macho posturing imaginable... I mean its like being 15 all over again. As I sit here, a looker across from me has about 3 guys hanging round her. 1st guy: Looks all cool, sits next to her for a while, but can't think of anything to say...leaves in a cloud of tension after 10 minutes. 2nd guy: poses behind her chair, leaning on it and bumping it occasionally, then poses within view of her, taking deep puffs on a cigarette, james bond style. Finally he offers her some advice on the game he's playing..she remains calm, he dissapears. 3rd guy: he jumps beside her. Keeps looking over, then starts telling her how to play her game in that typical authoritative ajjosshi tone. She remains cool, so he then belts out some K-pop at full blast on his radio and pretends to be having a great time,scowls threateningly at all the other dudes, seems to be carrying on a loud dialogue with himself, while she looks annoyed... Must be tough being a hot K-gal. Almost as much harrassment as a waeguk, it seems.Last edited by rapier on Sat Jun 11, 2005 3:07 am; edited 1 time in total Back to top rapierJoined: 16 Feb 2003 Posted: Sat Jun 11, 2005 2:16 am Post subject: She's finally had enough.. got up and left for another seat, haha. Guess I finally appreciate how a hottie feels, getting all that unwanted attention. "You teach me engrishie, we best prend, ok?" Funny thing is though, the girl is clearly not interested, but the guy keeps on, all the time pretending that he's not actually trying to get into her pants: and that the fact that he turned down 50 vacant seats to harrass her is purely coincidental. To the women on here: how do the ajosshis try to hit on you?Last edited by rapier on Sat Jun 11, 2005 3:10 am; edited 1 time in total Back to top Hwajangsil AjummaJoined: 02 May 2005Location: On my knees in the stall Posted: Sat Jun 11, 2005 2:30 am Post subject: Oh, if only your astute observations could be applied to my own experiences, PaRapper, I mean Rapier. Maybe my looks have faded a little, or perhaps the ajosshis have had their patience rotted away by decades of soju abuse, but...all I get from gentlemen of my own age are thinly veiled threats to give them what they want and be grateful for the 만 원. These young girls today don't realise how much westernisation is improving their lot in life, though I could think of more sophisticated and romantic places to go on the pull than a PC 방!

This is in the FAQ at the end of the tutorial. You can see which codec you need when you load the AVI into SimpleAvis2Dvd. It looks like you need the xvid codec. You can download it here http://www.koepi.org/xvid.shtml. Let me know if you have any other problems.vi3tgirl wrote:when the QuEnc opens up after the black screen, it tells me to choose source AVS File and Destination File. What do i choose as the Source AVS File? Is it AvisSynth_Script_File? and for the Destination File do I just type in a name?
When I do choose AvisSynth_Script_File for the Source AVS File it tells me
Avissynth open failure:
AvisSource: couldn't locate a decompressor for fourccxvid
Did I do something wrong?
Q: I get this when i try to preview my video in dvd2svcd "couldn't locate a decompresor fourcc". How do I fix this?
A: You probably don't have the correct codec. Check to see if you can play the video in Windows Media Player and/or load it into GSpot to make sure you have the codec.

An industry consortium led by Adobe has launched the Open Screen Project, which is chartered to enable a consistent runtime environment -- taking advantage of Adobe Flash Player and, in the future, Adobe AIR -- that will remove barriers for developers and designers publishing content and applications across desktops and devices, including phones, mobile Internet devices (MIDs), and set-top boxes. The Open Screen Project will address potential technology fragmentation by enabling the runtime technology to be updated seamlessly over the air on mobile devices.
To fulfill this charter, Adobe will continue to provide open access to Adobe Flash technology, including:
- Removing restrictions on use of the SWF and FLV/F4V specifications
- Publishing the device porting layer APIs for Adobe Flash Player
- Publishing the Adobe Flash Cast protocol and the AMF protocol for robust data services
- Removing licensing fees -- making next major releases of Adobe Flash Player and Adobe AIR for devices free
"Adobe is spearheading the Open Screen Project with support from industry leaders who share a common vision to provide rich, interactive experiences across computers, devices and consumer electronics," said Shantanu Narayen, Adobe CEO. "A consistent, more open platform for developers will drive rapid innovation, vastly improving the user experience."
In addition to Adobe, participants in the Open Screen Project include ARM, Chunghwa Telecom, Cisco, Intel, LG Electronics, Marvell, Motorola, Nokia, NTT DoCoMo, Qualcomm, Samsung Electronics, Sony Ericsson, Toshiba, and Verizon Wireless. and on-demand across a variety of devices.

The Kills | 07/06/12
Yes, it's something to file in the "oh man it's beautiful I must own it" category - The Kills are releasing a truly awe-inspiring photography book made up of a selection of wonderful images taken by friend and longtime collaborator, Kenneth Cappello. It's out on the 16th of August 2012 (4th Sep. in North America & Canada) and it's called Dream and Drive. It documents over nine years of the band's career and captures Alison and Jamie in their most playful, private, intense and intimate moments, both onstage and off as they conquer the world city at a time. Dream and Drive also includes a foreword written by Alison Mosshart herself.
"I have a lot of love for those great flea-pits and cock-eyed stages of America in Kenneth's pictures. We played on just about every one of them with their chewed-gum carpets that glued your feet down every time you tried to dance. Who'd have thought those cesspits could conjure up any magic? Of secret society proportions? We got over excited by everything back then. Everything. Even the crisps seemed exciting. Every night we'd let our heads fly way up into the clouds, dreaming we were super human and that our little band could go anywhere we wanted it to.. And then bang back down to ground level at the next soundcheck with a one-eyed speaker cabinet and a dressing room wall covered in scribbled cocks. They turned out to be palaces of the supernatural those clubs, where your life could be changed one night, with nothing more than a knackered Fender Twin and a pair of disintegrating jeans. I'd forgotten it was really like that until we started on this book..." J. Hince
"These are photos of locomotion. Silent visions of things turned up past their load. The tremble of the nightclub, the dive of backstage temporaries, electricity flung like paint through space, the FACE, the posture, the vehicle that hounds the road, sweats. I know when we're looking straight on, we're looking straight through. And I suppose it's the drift and swing, that shows you who you are, and that music is a force and really is, all it's cracked up to be. These photos make me remember everything." A. Mosshart
Kenneth and The Kills' worlds collided in 2003; both in Paris, The Kills were shooting scenes for the film 'I Hate The Way You Love' in the basement of a clothing store, Kenneth and his camera happened to be hanging out and shot photos of the band as they worked. From Paris to Coney Island, from the Chelsea Hotel to out onto the road, so began their time together. Kenneth is truly part of The Kills family and since then, has taken over 600 rolls of film of Jamie and Alison.

Elias Woodwork's new high gloss Acrylic Doors help to create a contemporary style, says the company. Acrylic is durable and long lasting as well as easy to take care of and keep clean, adds Elias Woodwork. The acrylic layer is created through an extrusion process to provide ultra high gloss acrylic top layer without ripples. It is then laminated on a MDF board. The doors and panels have the acrylic on the face and on the back to maintain panel flatness. They are edge banded with a color matched or 3D 2-in-1 high gloss 1 mm ABS edge banding. Color options are featured at the Elias Woodwork Color Gallery on the company's website.

Local Woodmen raise $20,000 for PACE Center
The PACE Center for Girls of Lee County and local Modern Woodmen members hosted a fund-raising event on Dec. 17 to meet a matching gift of $10,000 through the Modern Woodmen's Matching Fund Program. With the help of local supporters and donors, the $10,000 was successfully met raising a total of $12,875.
PACE still needs to raise $180,000 to complete renovations being made on its new facility. The center is able to expand its capacity and services to more young girls with the move into a larger building.
"We will be rent free in the new building. We currently pay $11,000 in rent each month. Now, that money will be reallocated to support the PACE program," said Meg Geltner, PACE executive director.
PACE (Practical Academic Cultural Education) provides a non-residential delinquency prevention program in locations statewide, targeting the unique needs of females age 12 to 18 who are identified as dependent, truant, runaway, delinquent or in need of academic skills.
PACE accepts referrals from the juvenile justice system, the Department of Children & Families, school personnel, community services agencies, parents, family members, friends and self-referrals.
