My Advice to Myself (A New Server Build Technician)
By Jackie Vong in Culture, Introductions, SoftLayerWhen I started at SoftLayer, I had no idea what to expect. As I walked from the parking lot to the front doors at SJC01, I started to get nervous … I felt was like I was stepping onto a stage, and I was worried about making a mistake. I took a deep breath and walked in.
Now that I look back on my first day (which was about a month ago), I have to laugh at my nervousness. I'm not sure what I expected to encounter, but the environment I entered was probably the most welcoming and friendly I've ever seen. Two of my coworkers, Cuong and Jonathan, recently shared their experiences as SBTs in San Jose, but because I have some recent first-hand experience that's still fresh in my mind, I thought I'd share my own perspective.
If I were able to talk to myself as I nervously approached the San Jose data center on my first day, this is what I'd say:
As you'd expect from any new job, your first day at work involves a lot of learning (and paperwork). You're probably chomping at the bit to get out into the data center to start building servers, but you need to crawl before you walk. The first thing you need to do is get the lay of the land … You get a guided tour of the office, the data center and your workspace. Even if you've worked in a data center before, you're going to be surprised and impressed with how everything is set up. Once all of your paperwork is in order, you start learning about SoftLayer's business and how you contribute to the customer experience. Once you understand the big picture, you can get into the details.
You're given a training guide that goes over many of the processes and procedures that are followed on a day-to-day basis in the data center, and you're shown all of the components you'll be working with as you build, upgrade and manage server hardware. You might not be performing much work on hardware in production in your first few days, but you're going to learn a lot and have plenty of time to ask questions. While you're learning how to perform your work tasks, you're building friendships with your coworkers, and you're officially becoming part of the SoftLayer family. Your fellow SLayers support you and help you make sure SoftLayer's customers are getting the service they expect.
You're taught everything you need to know, from staying organized and focused to best practices around working with servers. You have nothing to be nervous about.
I've only been with SoftLayer for a short period of time, but I can confidently say that working here is remarkable. I don't feel like an "employee;" I feel like a team player. I feel like everyone is on the same page about what needs to be done in the data center, and whenever questions come up, answers are given quickly.
I'm excited to come to work every day. I would have never dreamed I'd feel this way because I was always told jobs are long and drag-out boring, but my experience has been the polar opposite. Now, When any of my friends complain about getting up and going to work, I recommend they visit http://www.softlayer.com/about/careers.

Abortions are private affairs and often involve painfully difficult decisions with life-long consequences. But, tragically, the lives of the parents are completely ignored by the anti-abortionists. Yet that is the essential issue. In any conflict it's the actual, living persons who count, not the mere potential of the embryo.

The Department provides both countywide services as well as municipal-type services to the unincorporated areas of St. Louis County. The three divisions work in conjunction with each other, as well as independently, to meet the changing demands and needs of St. Louis County. For more information about the Department of Planning, please see our 2012 Annual Report.
The Current Planning Division has two primary responsibilities: Zoning and Subdivisions. The Zoning Ordinance and Subdivision Ordinance are enforced by this division.
The applications for zoning changes, special procedures, and other forms and checklists are available in .pdf format at the forms page. The Planning Commission will hold a public hearing on Monday, December 9 at 7:00 p.m. The public hearing notice is available here. The Current Planning Division enforces the County's Zoning Ordinance by processing and analyzing petitions for changes in zoning, special procedures, and variances to the zoning regulations. The Zoning Ordinance is a tool for regulating land use and flood plain management. The Current Planning Division also researches and proposes ordinance amendments to ensure that the Zoning Ordinance is effective in regulating land use. The Current Planning Division also oversees the division of land for unincorporated St. Louis County. The Subdivision Ordinance regulates the orderly division of land. In addition, the Division is responsible for the calculation, collection, monitoring, and management of escrow accounts for public improvements in subdivisions. We are staff to both the Planning Commission and the Board of Adjustment. For more information on zoning and subdivisions, click here.
The Comprehensive Planning Division oversees long-range planning, coordinates community planning initiatives and special projects, and promotes public outreach activities for St. Louis County. Countywide Planning & Policy
The Division is responsible for carrying out and participating in a wide variety of planning and policy initiatives throughout St. Louis County and the St. Louis metropolitan area with the goal of developing and promoting plans and policies that ensure a high quality of life for those who live, work and visit St. Louis County. Projects include creation of the St. Louis County Strategic Plan, analysis of boundary changes, annexations and incorporations, and other specialized efforts such as the Energy Efficiency and Conservation Strategy, the Consolidated Plan and the Meramec Greenway Plan. The Division also partners with local and regional agencies on regionally significant initiatives such as the Regional Sustainability Plan lead by the East-West Gateway Coordinating Council and the Livable St. Louis Network hosted by Trailnet.
Community Planning & Revitalization The Division prepares plans and studies to address a wide range of issues including land use, community revitalization, economic development and redevelopment, housing and service delivery. Additionally, the Division is focused on keeping citizens informed and involved in County government through town hall forums, booklets and newsletters. Subdivision Trustee Resource Center
The Division provides technical assistance and support to subdivision and homeowner associations and trustees in unincorporated St. Louis County. A variety of resources are provided, including maintenance of a voluntary roster of subdivision trustees, events and workshops, a speaker's bureau, a toolbox of helpful documents and templates, publications and guidebooks for trustees, a reference library and links to other St. Louis County resources.
The Office of Community Development (OCD) is charged with coordinating housing and community development activities for St. Louis County. OCD works in partnership with local communities, non-profit agencies, other County departments and businesses to strengthen family, economic, social and cultural foundations of the community. In addition, funds are also targeted to carry out programs and activities benefiting low-and-moderate income households to eliminate slums, blight, address urgent needs, and provide safe, sanitary and decent housing. OCD administers the federal Community Development Block Grant Program (CDBG), Home Investment Partnership Program (HOME), Neighborhood Stabilization Program (NSP), and Lead Hazard Control Funds. For more information on these and other housing programs, click here.

im currently running some 265 70 r17 i like my stock wheels but i am interested in purchasing some Nitto Trail Grapplers size LT285/70R17 E121/118Q these tires are about an inch and 3/4 taller than my old ones and im wondering will i get any rubbing?should i stick to the same size and just go that route. i would like some taller/wider tires but i dont want to get my MPG destroyed as well any help would be greatly appreciated thanks!

A lot of leveling kits and suspension lift kits will mention in the installation instructions what tires to run with the lift. With the Rough Country 2" level kit they advise a 285/70 for your year model truck.

i have the rough country thanks i think thats what im going to go with
02-28-2013, 01:10 PM #4A 285-70-17 will have an overall height of 32.71 inches, the 265-70-17 is 31.61 inches.
That's a difference of 1.1 inches. They should not rub, but you will want to get the ECU updated to reflect the new tire size. Believe it or not, that will throw your automatic transmission shifting off.

The trail grapplers are actually 33 and some odd inches they have a little deeper tread which I think makes them taller. I've read some guides and it seems like as long as I have leveling kit I won't rub. Thanks for the input. As far as ecu goes I wouldn't even know where to start with that

Dallas that's a democratic congress Senate Budget Committee member very powerful Democrat Chris van Holland congress and good to have you.
We are great to be with -- optimistic a deal can be reached -- night.
Well I think a deal can be reached the sentiment was good they did have constructive talks at the White House today but as you indicate -- -- -- -- instructed you know that's I knew I was just getting into the fact that that was constructive in the sense that.
All parties understood the importance of trying to prevent us from going over the fiscal -- but I was gonna quickly add.
As you indicated in the lead and the devil's in the details in other words.
We've had those sentiments before and they have not produced a result so what if this is going to be some very tough.
It is obviously better that the mood is constructive.
Than otherwise but at the end of the day very tough -- compromises are going to have to be hammered out.
Nancy Pelosi is said that not not to touch.
Entitlements I think she was talking generally about Medicare Medicaid.
Some security there's a letter circulating the -- revenue -- three or where senators Harkin and Rockefeller.
Of the same sentiment.
Do you agree with.
Well we have very different approaches -- on how we save money.
In Medicare for example.
If you save money the way we did -- Affordable Care Act.
By focusing on ways to reduce cost but not simply transfer rising health care cost.
On -- the backs of seniors.
That's the approach that we put forward that's the approach we support -- -- You're not in the -- -- -- that says.
Don't even look at these this letter that it certainly in the senate goes even further don't even look at them.
Well I haven't seen the letter -- but those same senators voted for the Affordable Care Act where they agreed that.
We needed to change them the incentives and health care system I think that that is that might just be -- negotiating to.
When none of us know what I'm saying there I think what what what we've said is that we will look at ways to bring down health care cost.
Moving away from the strict fee for service system in Medicare we've already begun -- -- that we can build on that.
But we will not take a system like the voucher systems that have been proposed that simply transfer.
The risks and cost.
Of health care onto the backs of seniors on Medicare which is what a lot of these.
Somewhat it is Republican proposals would do we will not do that so I know I don't I Nazis and negotiate point -- center.
I think those senators have also supported the idea of trying to.
Change some the incentives and Medicare focus more on the quality of care and quantity of care what they're saying is we so that we should not simply off load.
The cost.
Of rising health care onto the backs of of seniors.
-- -- to talk about that also load load on the state so we can argue about that for a while but because I do wanna get your take on what chains among Democrats after the election.
To double the revenue -- by that I mean we were looking last night at 800 billion.
In tax increases as part of the deal now the president and and others want one point six -- talk that you won't accept anything less.
Then a a rate hike but for wealthier taxpayers.
Do you concurrent with the rate hike idea that anything short of that just doesn't cut it whether you're from closing their deductions loopholes that sort of.
Where you raised two issues that they are related one is the amount of revenue you raise the second is how you raise with respect to the amount of revenue.
What the president proposed.
More than a year ago now was a four trillion dollar plan that included.
One point six trillion dollars in revenue a lot of that revenue about a trillion dollars would come from having the the top rate on high income murders go back to where was -- Clinton -- levels.
The other was -- president approach the part of that proposal the president had to reduce the value of deductions.
For high income murders one of these tax reform proposals.
That achieved about one point six trillion dollars in revenue which I should say is the last.
Than the total amount of revenue that Simpson Bowles have in their deficit reduction.
You wanna tell -- if you had your druthers you'd do involves not only your -- -- but also limit deductions of the well.
Well I think the important thing is to get -- a balanced deficit reduction plan so.
And the key to that is to have the revenue combined with the cuts and again we did a trillion dollars in cuts are -- we should look for additional.
I cuts -- reforms -- we may have differences -- how we sent a letter responded that they're saying it's disproportionately on the revenue side.
That'd -- well what do you make of them.
Why here's the thing a week we did a trillion dollars in cuts that was a 100%.
What I said as we should except essential framework of the Simpson Bowles in terms of the total amount of revenue they have in their deficit reduction numbers.
Plus the cuts I think that.
That is a bipartisan product.
It's the result a bipartisan negotiations.
I think our aim should be to have a plan and has that -- much come out of total revenue.
And those spending cuts but I should be clear that Simpson Bowles numbers.
Their starting point assumes the revenue you would get from raising the -- -- the rates and higher in front right I propose to do it that way but that's revenue and I just want a date comes I just wanna be players are saying that's the balance so -- two issues one is having a balanced plan that has enough revenue I get us to.
Four trillion dollars and -- -- reduction.
It's hard to do that with just a trillion dollars and.
I understand we're going to get to the portrait and we could sort of the details on the other components are there but it seems sounds to me like.
Central to the democratic.
Here will be.
That you look at a rate hike -- the -- you're in other words do you -- -- the the rates -- -- the rich go back to Clinton Era levels and limit their -- It's well in terms of that the the rates that it's a question of math Neil what -- why I think the president has kind of -- is such a speaker Boehner is.
Look -- that the -- the mood.
Is good but let's see your plan because their president has had his plan on the table I mean there's not been a secret.
What we're saying the speaker Boehner is here here's what we think we need in revenue as part of a balanced plan -- and we think you get thereby raising the rates the Clinton Era levels.
We think that's what the math shows you've you've got to do.
If you've got an alternative way you know what we'll look at it I mean we're not are shutting the door -- but.
But we think the way to do it is to have the rate return for high income earners to Clinton Era okay -- levels congressman thank you very much -- a safe weekend.
Thank you you -- have happy Thanksgiving you as well well as all the.

When the Bruins traded Hannu Toivonen to the St. Louis Blues in July of 2007, the piece they got back in return came with a couple of question marks. The uncertainty surrounding the then 21-year-old Carl Soderberg - the player the B's received for the underachieving goalie - was warranted. Soderberg was a forward with good size, but also with questions surrounding his mental makeup, and he was coming off of an eye injury. "Here's a player they had very high expectations for," Bruins general manager Peter Chiarelli said at the time of the trade. "He may turn into maybe not an elite player but a very good player. There were times when he dominated the world juniors when he was playing." Just as importantly was the fact that Soderberg may not even play in North America. The final concern came to be, as Soderberg has played his entire professional career in his native Sweden.

Take the college student survey to share your opinions about your school and be entered into a $1,000 scholarship!
Reload the page and try again.
Guys & Girls: Why is it asking me for a rating of guys? Some of them come from rich families and are jerks, some are nice, some come from poor families and are jerks, some are nice. Everyone's smart.
A A+F Local Atmosphere: Philadelphia seems to be a city in either a slow decline from its Colonial glory or a slow recovery from some sort of a low point. Nevertheless, Philadelphia is a good city to live in; Center City feels like Manhattan at points and the far Eastern part of Center City has a friendly vibe to it.
A A+F Facilities: Columbia is small. Harvard looks old and worn down. Penn is pretty. Penn feels college-y. It's probably why they used it for the college background in one of those Transformer movies.
B A+F Facilities: David F Protruck fitness center is located a short walk from most of the dorms and has plenty of updated equipment for student use.
B A+F Majors: Criminology- fantastic, I couldn't be happier with the quality of the courses in the major.English- the major and everything related to it is phenomenal, its my favorite aspect of school, but being an English major doesn't hold a lot of career opportunities after college and a lot of people at Penn don't feel uncomfortable reminding you of that.
C A+F Majors: If I could do it all over again I might have chosen Chicago or Columbia, but the attitude of those outside of certain majors isn't that big of a factor, and Penn is an Ivy League institution, so there's not a whole lot of room for a student who managed to get in to complain.
A A+F Health & Safety: Penn employs one of the largest campus police forces in the United States, but it does so out of good measure. Some of the characters that wander onto campus could pose a threat to students, but I've never been more than a few feet from a security officer, no matter the time of day or night. Safety isn't a viable concern as long as students remain on or close to either Penn or Drexel's campus.
B A+F Overall Experience: I originally chose Penn, but after experiencing some of the presumptions people have of those in the "Arts" part of "Arts and Sciences," I question if I want to spend my remaining college career here or transfer to a more literary study focused Ivy.
A A+F Scholarships: Penn, for four years at the current tuition, would cost the average student just under a quarter of a million dollars. Fortunately, my family received 5/6 of the first year cost in financial aid, making a Ivy League education extremely plausible for our lowly Midwestern incomes.
C A+F Greek Life: Penn supplies the fraternities and sororities with a certain amount of money so they can attract the new students into the frat/sorority housing. Some are pretty high end- it is the Ivy League, some of these kids didn't get in on merit- and some are relatively low key.
C A+F Weather: It's New England. If you're from somewhere where its warm a lot, bring plenty of clothes for the winter time.
A A+F Computers: I've never had to use the computer labs, and some of the students have a hard time finding enough open computers whenever midterms or finals roll around, but the wifi for my laptop is ridiculously fast.
Parking: I didn't bring a car with me to Penn, and I'm not sure if freshmen are even allowed to have vehicles on campus. Again, I don't know why anyone would need a vehicle, taxis are cheap, public transportation is cheaper, and you can walk almost anywhere you want. Having a car is a waste of money.
A A+F Campus Housing: The Quad has a great atmosphere for incoming freshmen, the social life and the close ties really bond new students together, plus there's air conditioning (unlike Hill House) and its in the middle of campus.
B A+F Transportation: The Trolleys aren't reliable, but the taxis are cheap and when all of SEPTA is up and running its really convenient when you need to get into Center City. It isn't necessary to use the public transportation, Penn has a relatively large campus when you compare it to somewhere like Columbia, but everything is more or less within walking distance.
C A+F Academics: UPenn has a phenomenal English program, and I enjoy the classes a great deal, but the prevailing opinion of English majors in such a business focused university is English majors are people who gave up on their dreams in other majors.
A A+F Academics: The professors are amazing and the classes are small enough you can actually interact with them.
A A+F Academics: Penn is EXCELLENT academically, on all levels.
A A+F Overall Experience: I LOVE MY SCHOOL. You guys didn't ask about students' satisfaction but that's definitely an A+.
A A+F Campus Strictness: Excellent, just right. But drugs (weed) could be controlled better.
C A+F Campus Dining: Timing is very bad, and the package for Freshman is mandatory and very expensive.
A A+F Majors: Excellent on all levels.
B A+F Guys & Girls: Overall great, relationships not always priority for students.

Students seem to be extremely content and do not regret their decision to come to Penn, even though the school definitely has a pre-professional feel. Despite this fact, it is extremely common to find yourself in an intellectual conversation, and the students really do work hard, while remembering that college is about fun as well. The opportunities provided at Penn are astounding; in fact there is almost too much to do. Most students base the reasons for their happiness around the people, the academics, the urban environment, and the endless opportunities. People who enjoy their experience at Penn tend to appreciate city life, socializing, and a busy schedule. Usually, students do not hesitate to endorse Penn, and many feel that everyone should love the school as much as they do.
Many adults call their years as an undergraduate the best four years of their lives. Penn students certainly can not make that prediction so soon, but most would agree that their time at Penn has been the best years of their life so far. Obviously, Penn is not the school for everyone, but the student body consists of interesting, intelligent, and well-rounded people, which creates a stimulating and fun environment for most. If you come to Penn, I can almost guarantee that you will meet fascinating people, find something to be passionate about, and enjoy the benefits of living in a vibrant city. You can also feel confident that an education from Penn will prepare you for what lies beyond your undergraduate years. The Penn Overall Experience is defined by the combination of the rich history and academic rigor of an Ivy League school and the school spirit and propensity for socializing of many other schools. This "work hard, play hard" mentality is what many Quakers, and prospective Quakers, find so appealing.

Transcript Now Available - Click Here! (PDF Format, 30 pages, 211 KB)
A complete, edited transcript is now online of the Bradley Center's April 7 panel discussion entitled
Mandating Multicultural Munificence?
Event Description
Early in 2008, the California State Assembly approved AB 624, legislation that would require private foundations larger than $250 million in assets to gather and disclose substantial ethnic and gender data relating to their governance and grantmaking.
As the bill summary notes, the information to be collected would "include, but not be limited to, the following: the racial and gender composition of the board of directors or trustees, the number of grants awarded to specified organizations serving ethnic minority communities, and the percentage of grant dollars awarded to specified organizations where 50% or more of the board members are ethnic minorities. The bill would require these private foundations to disclose this information via its Internet Web site, if available, and to include this information in its annual report, as specified."
Is AB 624 a good idea? Or is the pursuit of diversity in philanthropy something that rather should be left to voluntary initiatives by foundations and their associations? These and other questions were addressed by our panel, which included JOHN GAMBOA of the Greenlining Institute in California, which did the research behind AB 624 (click here for further information from Greenlining's web site); RENÉE BRANCH, director of diversity and inclusive practices at the Council on Foundations; HEATHER RICHARDSON HIGGINS, president of the Randolph Foundation in New York City; and PABLO EISENBERG, Georgetown University scholar and advocate for philanthropic change. The Bradley Center's WILLIAM SCHAMBRA moderated the discussion.

L.A. Kings' PA announcer erroneously says Wayne Gretzky arrived in 1998
The Los Angeles Kings' run to the Stanley Cup Finals has seen plenty of ineptitude from the local media thus far, which the team itself mocked in a great infographic, but the next error is coming... from inside the house! The Kings set up a cool pre-game intro for their first home game in the Finals Wednesday and tapped a tremendous guest to drop the puck: franchise legend Wayne Gretzky, whose trade to L.A. in 1988 kick-started hockey in Southern California, led to the Kings' most recent Stanley Cup Finals appearance in 1993 and even inspired a renowned ESPN 30 for 30 film, "Kings Ransom." However, their own PA announcer must not have seen the documentary or read any of the endless Gretzky coverage. Via Greg Wyshynski at Puck Daddy, here's video of the public address announcer introducing Gretzky:
Yep, that's how the announcer chooses to describe Gretzky: "His play on the ice rewrote the NHL record books, and his arrival in Los Angeles in 1998 changed the face of hockey and the NHL forever." Gretzky classily ignored the error and went on to drop the puck as planned, but there were plenty of bemused reactions in the arena and across the Twitterverse. If the Kings' own announcer can't get their history right, do they really have a right to call out the rest of the media for errors? Of course, Wayne Gretzky arriving in Los Angeles in 1998 really would have changed the NHL forever, but in a vastly different way: Gretzky was in his final season in 1998-99 with the New York Rangers, and only produced a career-low nine goals in 70 games (although he did add 53 assists) before finally hanging his skates up. That Gretzky wouldn't have made hockey take off in Southern California. Fortunately, the 1988 Gretzky did, tallying 30-plus goals and 120-plus points in five of his eight seasons in Los Angeles and turning the Kings into a formidable force. Many of the Kings' fans surely remember that, even if their announcer doesn't.

Bismark Series Multi Point Patio Trim with American Cylinder Below Handle and 92 mm Center to Center from the Estates Collection
This is made specifically for multipoint doors and is a Trim Only. Product includes Interior and Exterior Trim with Lever and Cylinder (if Keyed Entry Function) Only.
The Bismark Series Multi-point trim, as part of the Baldwin Estate Collection, is crafted with the richest of finishes and provides the utmost in both flexibility and style. Touting the uniquely arched 5152 drop shaped metal lever, this traditionally designed patio functioning handleset will establish an enduring impression as guests' transition from the interior to the exterior of your home. The Bismark Series is more than just a beautiful appeal, as its multi-point construction within the door creates an added level of stability and security that provides the ever important peace of mind knowing you and your home are well protected.
Patio Function: Similar to a privacy function handleset where a door can be locked from the inside, the patio function adds another level of protection as there is no emergency release on the outside; which enables it to be used for egress applications. Most commonly used for patios and balconies that are not the primary entryways to your home, patio handlesets are a secure and convenient choice.

Beautiful ruby red colour with an evident orange edge to it, and a rich bouquet of spice and liquorice with a hint of tar. Medium bodied and well defined, expressing black fruit flavours alongside well integrated tannin and a dry finish.
Aromatic and unctuous on the nose with plenty of dried fruit and grapey aromas. Lovely spicy fruit combines with well balanced acidity, a sweet but not overly heavy palate and an attractive creamy soft finish to round off the wine beautifully.
Ruby red colour with a persistent, particularly intense bouquet. The palate is well structured, offering an array of rich berry, cassis and spicey flavours alongside its textured, well integrated tannins which encourage the lengthy finish with a good grip.
Fresh and fruity wine with a good vibrant finish.
Delightfuly fresh, delicate nose of crushed raspberries and ripe summer fruits which find their way into the palate to balance the crisp, light body and refreshing length, displaying the hallmark qualities of a fine drinking blush.
Intense varietal aromas, very elegant, balanced, dry and harmonious taste with slight vinous hints.
Gravello is a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Gaglioppo, it was the first red from Calabria to win the coveted Tre Bicchieri award from Gambero Rosso. It is deep red in colour, with a powerful perfume of cedar and cassis. The palate is extremely rich and complex with blackcurrant and blackberry fruits married to tobacco, spice and great concentration. The tannins provide great structure to the wine but are supple and ripe.
A structured wine with a smokey, woody finish.
Leather, cherry and violets dominate the nose. Rich middle mouth, with fresh acidity and tannins, good fruit and spice. A wonderful medium-bodied texture combines with superfine tannins. Finishes elegantly with nice fruit expression.

Me, 1949. My father is reflected in the mirror. |
Could you even count how many times this moment was replayed given your family's blessed passion for photography?
This stirs up so many memories for me. The same sofa, along with two matching chairs, sits in the cottage we've rented for years. I love that we can never damage it (though we've tried!) but hate that I can't stretch out to read on it without finding extra pillows.

The Laws of Shabbos:
The Kleinman Edition Kitzur Shulchan Aruch, Volume 3
Written in 1864, reprinted more than twenty times in the lifetime of its author, Rabbi Shlomo Ganzfried, and hundreds of times since, the Kitzur Shulchan Aruch is one of the most widely disseminated halachah sefarim of all time. It is a masterpiece of clarity, comprehensive and yet highly accessible, the classic guide to the laws of daily living for Ashkkenazic Torah-observant Jewry – and as usable and relevant today as it was 125 years ago.
With the publication of the first volume of the The Kleinman Edition Kitzur Shulchan Aruch last year, the timeless words of the Kitzur became widely available to the English-speaking public. Many thousands were introduced to the sefer for the first time, while others, scholars and laymen alike, were able rediscover its beauty, clarity, and, yes, the depth behind its simplicity. Using the integrated style of ArtScroll's Schottenstein Edition of the Talmud, the Kleinman Edition of the Kitzur Shulchan Aruch offers readers a fully vowelized Hebrew text, followed by a phrase by phrase translation and elucidation. To make the Kitzur even more useful as a contemporary halachic reference, the footnotes include rulings from the Chofetz Chaim's halachic classic, Mishneh Berurah, and from Rav Moshe Feinstein's Igros Moshe, whenever their rulings differed from those of Rav Ganzfried.
The third volume of what will be a five-volume set has just been made available, and is a particularly exciting and important part of the work, as it contains all of the laws of Shabbos observance that appear in the Kitzur. Here are the halachos that affect every Shomer Shabbos Jew, as clearly and beautifully laid out as the most elegant Shabbos table – the "shulchan aruch" – the set table – that Rabbi Ganzfried and, before him, Rav Yosef Karo used as the title of their great halachic works. This newest volume is a vitally important work for anyone wishing to review or better understand the laws of Shabbos observance (Also included are the laws of eiruvin, rosh chodesh, and kiddush levanah.)
Writers of promotional pieces love to use the word "classic." It's one of those catchwords that are applied to almost everything today. But what, really, makes something a classic?
The dictionary tells us that a classic is: "an author or a literary work of the first rank, esp. one of demonstrably enduring quality."
Enduring quality. By that definition, the Kitzur Shulchan Aruch is most certainly a classic. One that belongs on every Jewish bookshelf.

Like I said, I think you should change your thinking on this issue. Just look at everyone who walks through the door as a potential customer, whether or not they intend to buy or not. I don't think that most places that sell goods would mind more foot traffic. I doubt car dealerships are chasing people off their lot because they are just browsing with no intent to buy--because they know that someday in the future those people will most likely need to buy a car.
Obviously its up to you to decide how to run your business. If you feel that being rude to customers and getting their cars towed is good for business, more power to you. Me, I wouldn't want the potential bad juju...the less people you have out there bad mouthing your establishment, the better. If the price is to let the occasional customer pee for free, I'd see that as an even trade. You could even think of it as advertising...I assume they have to walk through your store, past all the pastries and chocolates, to get to the restroom. That is just more people who get a look at your display case.
He knew that washrooms were for customer use only, but was too cheap to buy something.
How did he know that? Did you tell him? if you told him, doesn't that mean he asked? Didn't you say earlier that you never refuse someone who asks? Again, I don't understand why you seem unable to let it go.
Do you think he would actually come back? He knew he embarassed himself and made himself look like a cheap a-hole. Do you actually think he would have the kahunas to come back and buy something at a latter date? It's a question I'm pretty sure you won't answer.
Well, it's a question I can't answer. Who knows--my crystal ball is cloudy today. Maybe he wouldn't come back, but at the very least, he's probably not venting to the neighbors and everyone else he knows what a jerk the owner of that little coffee shop is.
If someone parks their vehicle underneath a sign that states 1 hr parking and camps out for a whole afternoon, it is their business. Some of the stupidist things I've seen are very angry people arguing with traffic cops or tow truck drivers about parking signs. Many merchants along the street call the city to ticket when cars are camped out for whole afternoons--it really screws up the parking for other customers. I did not identify myself when I called him up, just told him his car was being towed.
Don't know what to say here. If you are using the old "other people do it" line to justify why you feel the need to get back at this person, I can't help you. Seems petty to me.

Happy Tuesday! It's Diane again, your Guest Designer for the week. Today I have something different to share with you. You do not need a particular cartridge, Design Studio or a Gypsy to do this project. You do need vinyl, eggs, and some time to get creative with your Cricut (egg dye is optional).
If you'd like to find out about a great way to empty the eggs before decorating them (so you can save them to display year after year) you can go to my blog to see the "sister post" for today's project. I also have a few posts on my blog showing some of my egg collection - I started collecting decorated eggs when we lived in Germany many years ago. Here is a LINK to my blog.
I started out by cutting some interesting shapes from vinyl. When you are cutting vinyl, you want to "kiss cut" it so that the vinyl is cut but the backing stays intact. This makes it much easier to remove the cut pieces from the backing. For my machine, I use medium speed, medium pressure and set the blade depth at 4. You should experiment to see if these setting work for you - they should be close. Be careful to keep the vinyl within the paper area of the mat - as you can see in the photo above, my vinyl extended in to the area where the rollers move the mat in and out which created a bit of a problem.
I needed to cut some parts of the design to fit it on the egg. You can see that, despite my efforts, there are still some gaps and puckers.
As you can see from his photo, I had mixed results. Some of my eggs looked like they had been tie-dyed but I wanted the crisp clean effect with sharp edges. The vinyl I used for this trial was "Wall-Pops." I have used this very successfully for wall words and other projects but it seems to be too "soft" for this purpose and the adhesive did not always stay stuck down firmly in the dye bath.
I cut some more shapes using some orange vinyl. This was the Oracal exhibition 631 vinyl that I got from Oh My Crafts quite a while ago when it was on special for less than $5 a package. It is supposed to be the same as the Cricut Vinyl. I used it because I only had black and beige Cricut vinyl on hand (and I paid much more for the Cricut vinyl so I am saving it for walls!). This vinyl is definitely harder and crisper than the Wall-Pops. I think that it is thinner and the adhesive is a bit stickier as well.
Here are the eggs after I dyed them. You can see how crisp the lines are on the butterfly and faith where I have already removed the vinyl.
I think the word art on the eggs is particularly pretty.
If you visited my blog yesterday, you saw how I cut up the 12 x 12 sheets of Core'dinations gemstone cardstock that I used for the scalloped egg cards. I will be using most of these "leftovers" during the week.
Using the Oracal vinyl and taking extra care to burnish the edges of each image after placing it on the shell made a big difference in the end results.
Sometimes there are imperfections in the dye or the surface of the egg. You can always add a few embellishments to conceal the flaws and "dress up" the egg.
You might even decide to leave the vinyl on the dyed egg. I like the tone-on-tone effect on this egg.
So the tips I have to share are, choose small designs with thin sharp lines, use a thin vinyl that is "hard" and will burnish well to the egg, be careful when you are dipping the egg in the dye so you do not loosen any edges and dry your eggs and rub them with a little fat to bring out the shine.
So what about those delicate eggs I showed you at the top of the post? I had progressed through my experiments and reached my conclusions about the best sorts of designs to use. I found some delicate, thin designs on the Home Decor and Heritage cartridges. I cut them in mint green vinyl and applied them to the eggs - planning to dye these as well.
I decided that the eggs looked so pretty that I would keep the vinyl on as the only decoration! Of course, you could dye the egg if you want more color. The thin vinyl and thin lines of the designs smooth down very nicely.
The basket is from the Easter cartridge (I think I will tempt you into buying this cartridge before the week is out!). I made it as large as possible from a 12 x 12 piece of cardstock and left it plain except for a few pretty embellishments to the handle. The embellishments are from Creative Charms - here is a LINK to the page on their site where you can find out more about the flowers and butterflies. The little butterfly brads I used for the egg collars are also from Creative Charms - here is a LINK to the page. I have been creating some designs for Creative Charms and I really enjoy working with their lovely embellishments.
I love the idea of creating personalized eggs for each member of the family. By using Design Studio, you could have welded versions of their actual names instead of just the generic Mommy/Daddy/Baby/Grandma. You can even add your own flourishes when you create your welded names.
This assortment of eggs includes some that I made when we lived in Germany. They are simple to do and blend nicely with the dyed and decorated eggs.
You can use these eggs to create small wreaths - for more information about this be sure to visit my blog, Capadia Designs, and check out Tuesday's post.
Don't forget to leave comments to have a chance to win the great items that Joy and Melanie are giving away this week. I'll be back tomorrow with a project that uses paper again!

Party pics: Grand opening of Friday nights at Club 54
The space now known as Club 54 was closed for two years before the current owner purchased the 6,000 square-foot building in Sterling Heights last November. General Manager Maria Tokar, who has owned four bars in the past, including a Club 54 on Hall Road in Clinton Township, has been offering a variety of entertainment for the last year. Thursdays, guests can enjoy a Polish food menu in addition to traditional bar fare while they are entertained by an 18-piece orchestra. On Saturdays, a 35-and-up crowd floods the club as Tokar hosts a dating-site party. Friday, some local promoters launched a new weekly night that features a younger crowd and DJs. This past Friday kicked off the venue's Friday Night Live party series featuring music by DJ Chrome, DJ Maz and Detroit-area percussionist Tone.

Ronald Hynd's Rosalinde is a ballet to the music of Johann Strauss and reflects the era of musicals and silent films of the 1920s. Hynd's adaptation closely follows the witty story line of the operetta Die Fledermaus that takes the audience to a glamorous masked ball and the world of piquant intrigues. Rosalinde is at once uproariously funny and sublime, as well as romantic and intrinsically balletic. The set design of the renowned British designer Peter Docherty evokes the careless life of the roaring twenties. John Lanchbery's arrangement of the music gives full scope to the ballet's witty inventiveness matching the choreography, adding two popular Johann Strauss' pieces, the waltz The Blue Danube and polka Unter Donner und Blitz.
