The county of Somerset lies in the English West Country, a green and pleasant land steeped in millennia of history, folklore, and superstition, often overlooked as a rural backwater good for nothing but strong cider and tall tales. Yet something powerful and ancient is stirring in the county's hills and valleys, and mysterious lights flicker by night on the slopes of Glastonbury Tor, rising lik... [click here for more]

But as the storm rages on into the black night, they discover just how wrong they are.

The forces of fascism have overwhelmed Europe. Britain fights on desperately, and every man and woman must do what is necessary to avoid defeat.
In forgotten corners, darkness stirs. The cycles of the ancient god-things are measured in millennia, but those who serve them plot to take advantage of the chaos of conflict to advance their own schemes.

Hi, When I was younger I was sexually abused for 6 years for about 4 or 5 days of the week each week. It was my big cousin. he was much older then me and alot bigger. I was forced to give and receive oral sex among other sexual acts but came very close to vaginal rape at times but he never went through with that thankfully, as I was getting older he was getting closer to it. I remember feeling the burn on my wrists as I was trying to get away and he was pulling me back, he was so big I didn't have a chance, he would just pin me down and i'd be struggling to get away telling him to stop i didnt want to do it I am now 19 and feel after years of being semi-alright about it it's really starting to hit me again now. Everytime I get close to a guy I just start to freak out when he touches me, I get flashbacks and end it before anything has really started up because that way I don't have to deal with the flashbacks . I find myself crying in bed most nights over what happened, I just feel so disgusting and dirty, I feel like if any guy knew he would think it was disgusting and I need disinfected or something. I don't feel I can talk to my mum because it would break her heart if she knew it still affected me and I don't want to burden her. I don't really know what i'm looking for from this site, I just don't know what to do anymore

Almost Famous is a 2000 comedy-drama film written and directed by Cameron Crowe, telling the coming-of-age story of a teenage journalist writing for Rolling Stone magazine while covering a fictitious rock band named Stillwater. The film is semi-autobiographical, as Crowe himself had been a teenage writer for Rolling Stone.
Despite failing to break even at the box office, the film received positive reviews and received four Oscar nominations, with Crowe winning one for best original screenplay. It also earned the 2001 Grammy Award for Best Compilation Soundtrack Album for a Motion Picture, Television or Other Visual Media. Roger Ebert hailed it the best film of the year. It also won two Golden Globes, for Best Picture and for Kate Hudson as Best Supporting Actress.
In 1973 San Diego, California, William Miller is a teenaged aspiring rock journalist. His mother, Elaine, a local college professor with a strange mix of New Age and conservative beliefs, wants him to become a lawyer. Miller writes for underground papers, sharing the love of rock music instilled in him through a gift of albums given by his sister, Anita, before she left home in disgust over Elaine's "house of lies."
William has sent rock journalist Lester Bangs copies of his work, and Bangs gives William a $35 assignment to review a Black Sabbath concert. Bangs advises William not to befriend rock stars, and to be "honest and unmerciful" in his reviews. Without credentials, William cannot get backstage to the San Diego Sports Arena where the concert is taking place. Outside, he meets a few local groupies who call themselves "Band-Aids", led by a young woman named Penny Lane. He also meets the opening band, Stillwater. They bring William backstage after he expresses admiration for their work. The guitarist, Russell Hammond, takes a liking to William.
William and Penny go to Hollywood to see Stillwater again. Penny serves as William's chauffeur, but her real aim is to get close to Russell, for whom she has feelings and shares a past relationship. William is called by Ben Fong-Torres, editor of Rolling Stone, who wants William to write a story for the magazine. Ben, who does not realize that he is talking to a teenager, sends William on the road to write about Stillwater.
William goes on tour with Stillwater and the Band-Aids, promising to keep in contact with his worried mother. As a journalist, the band refers to William as "the enemy", but they befriend him anyway, although Russell puts off giving William an interview. Russell receives an electric shock onstage in Phoenix, which infuriates their manager, Dick Roswell, causing them to abandon the show. In Topeka, Kansas, a new merchandise t-shirt for Stillwater showing Russell clearly in focus with the rest of the band comparatively out of focus and shadowed sparks an intense argument between lead singer Jeff and Russell. Russell and William then leave the area, going to a teenage house party so Russell can be with people who are "real". Tripping on LSD, Russell climbs onto the roof, screaming "I am a golden god!" and instructing William to write that his last words were "I'm on drugs!" before jumping into the pool. During the tour, William forms a strong bond with Penny, to the point that they frequently discuss running away to Morocco together, but he does not have sex with her — he instead loses his virginity to the other Band-Aids.
The band continues with its tour and before one of the band's concerts, William speaks with his very worried mother on the phone. Russell intervenes, snatching the phone from William and talking to Elaine. During the conversation, Elaine unwittingly reveals William's true age and her plans for him to attend law school. A new manager, Dennis, is hired and insists that the band travel by plane instead of by bus. In Boston during a poker game, it becomes clear that Penny must leave the tour before New York City, where Leslie, Russell's wife, will join the tour. During the game, Russell allows Dick to sell the Band Aids to Humble Pie for $50 and a case of Heineken. When William tells Penny, she acts nonchalant but is devastated. Penny travels to New York, showing up as the band gathers in a restaurant with Leslie. As they celebrate making the cover of Rolling Stone, Penny leaves as Leslie grows suspicious. William follows Penny to her hotel room, finding her overdosed on quaaludes. While trying to keep her awake he confesses he loves her and kisses her just before doctors arrive. Later, Penny reveals her real name to him, a secret she has told very few. Penny thanks William for saving her before returning home to San Diego. William stays with the band for the end of the stop in New York and then they all board their plane to fly home.
Stillwater's plane is caught in a thunderstorm and loses altitude. With death apparently imminent, the band members confess their secrets, which provokes a series of quarrels, and Penny is then referred to by several in the band as "that groupie". William angrily defends Penny, reminding the band that they declared they were "in this for the fans", and Penny was their most adoring one. The plane emerges from the storm unharmed, leaving the band to ponder the changed atmosphere. William continues to San Francisco to finish the story, parting ways with the band. Russell tells him to write whatever he wants. William submits an article, but the Rolling Stone editors dismiss it as a "puff piece". Bangs advises him to be "honest and unmerciful". William rewrites the article, telling the truth. The Rolling Stone editors are eager to publish it until the fact checker reports that the band has denied everything, making William look like a liar, and the story is dropped. Sitting dejected in the airport, William encounters Anita. Now a stewardess, she offers to take him anywhere; William chooses to return home, where he forces his mom and Anita to make up.
Russell calls Penny for her address so they can talk in person. Russell goes to the address she gave him, but it turns out to be William's house. Russell and William reconcile, and Russell reveals that he called Rolling Stone to tell them William's story was true. Russell finally gives William an interview. The film ends with William's article being published as the cover story of Rolling Stone, Stillwater on tour, William sharing a meal with Elaine and Anita, and Penny buying a ticket to Morocco, where they originally planned to go together.

This section requires expansion. (January 2012) |
The film is based on Crowe's experiences touring with rock bands Poco, The Allman Brothers Band, Led Zeppelin, Eagles, and Lynyrd Skynyrd. In a Rolling Stone article, he talks about how he lost his virginity, fell in love, and met his heroes, experiences that are shared by William, the main character in the film.
An actual band named Stillwater released two albums in the late 1970s. The band agreed to let Crowe use the name after they read the script.[2]
Along with the standard DVD version, Crowe compiled an alternate version called Almost Famous: Untitled, which was a compilation of both released footage and his favorite deleted scenes. Running for about 40 minutes longer than the theatrical release, Untitled was subtitled "The Bootleg Cut", with its packaging resembling a cheap seventies bootleg.[3] The DVD also contains a deleted scene that shows William playing Led Zeppelin's "Stairway to Heaven" (in its entirety) to his mother. The song itself is not included in the film, but the video has a graphic instructing viewers when to start the song.[3]
This article should include a summary of Almost Famous (soundtrack). See Wikipedia:Summary style for information on how to incorporate it into this article's main text. (December 2013) |
Almost Famous had its premiere at the 2000 Toronto Film Festival.[4] It was subsequently given a limited release on September 15, 2000 in 131 theaters where it grossed US $2.3 million on its first weekend. It was given a wider release on September 22, 2000 in 1,193 theaters where it grossed US $6.9 million on its opening weekend. The film went on to make US $32.5 million in North America and US $14.8 million in the rest of the world for a worldwide total of US $47,383,689, well below its US $60 million budget.[5]
Critical reception[edit]
Almost Famous was very well received by critics, who gave it predominantly positive reviews. Film critic Roger Ebert gave the film four out of four stars and praised it for being "funny and touching in so many different ways".[6] In his review for The New York Times, A.O. Scott wrote, "The movie's real pleasures are to be found not in its story but in its profusion of funny, offbeat scenes. It's the kind of picture that invites you to go back and savor your favorite moments like choice album cuts".[7]
Time magazine's Richard Corliss praised the film's screenplay for "giving each character his reasons, making everyone in the emotional debate charming and compelling, creating fictional people who breathe in a story with an organic life".[8] In her review for the L.A. Weekly, Manohla Dargis wrote that "the film shimmers with the irresistible pleasures that define Hollywood at its best - it's polished like glass, funny, knowing and bright, and filled with characters whose lives are invariably sexier and more purposeful than our own".[9] Rolling Stone magazine's Peter Travers wrote, "Not since A Hard Day's Night has a movie caught the thrumming exuberance of going where the music takes you".[10] In his review for Newsweek, David Ansen wrote, "Character-driven, it relies on chemistry, camaraderie, a sharp eye for detail and good casting".[11] Entertainment Weekly put it on its end-of-the-decade, "best-of" list, saying, " Every Cameron Crowe film is, in one way or another, about romance, rock & roll, and his romance with rock & roll. This power ballad of a movie, from 2000, also happens to be Crowe's greatest (and most personal) film thanks to the golden gods of Stillwater and their biggest fan, Kate Hudson's incomparable Penny Lane."[12]
Entertainment Weekly gave the film an "A-" rating and Owen Gleiberman praised Crowe for depicting the 1970s as "an era that found its purpose in having no purpose. Crowe, staying close to his memories, has gotten it, for perhaps the first time, onto the screen".[13] In his review for the Los Angeles Times, Kenneth Turan praised Philip Seymour Hoffman's portrayal of Lester Bangs: "Superbly played by Philip Seymour Hoffman, more and more the most gifted and inspired character actor working in film, what could have been the cliched portrait of an older mentor who speaks the straight truth blossoms into a marvelous personality".[14] However, in his review for The New York Observer, Andrew Sarris felt that "none of the non-musical components on the screen matched the excitement of the music. For whatever reason, too much of the dark side has been left out".[15] Desson Howe, in his review for the Washington Post, found it "very hard to see these long-haired kids as products of the 1970s instead of dressed up actors from the Seattle-Starbucks era. I couldn't help wondering how many of these performers had to buy a CD copy of the song and study it for the first time".[16] Paste Magazine named it one of the 50 Best Movies of the Decade (2000–2009), ranking it at number 3.[17]
Almost Famous currently holds an 88% rating on Rotten Tomatoes and a 90 metascore on Metacritic.[18][19]

This batch of crazy is in Wisconsin, a state Obama handily won:
All nine also told a tea party-aligned group they backed passing so-called "right-to-work" legislation; allowing people to carry guns without having to get permits from the state; allowing people to buy raw, or unpasteurized, milk; and blocking state funding for the federal Real ID law that requires states to develop more secure driver's licenses.But their stance on the Affordable Care Act, or Obamacare, could cause the most fireworks in the upcoming session. Walker must decide by Friday whether the state will create a health care exchange under the health care law or leave those duties to President Barack Obama's administration.
Rep. Chris Kapenga (R-Delafield) is one of the nine from Wisconsin who told the Campaign for Liberty he would back legislation to declare Obamacare illegal and allow police to arrest federal officials who take steps to implement it in Wisconsin. He said he believes the health care law is unconstitutional, despite the U.S. Supreme Court's ruling that it passes constitutional muster.
"Just because Obama was re-elected does not mean he's above the constitution," Kapenga said.
Wisconsin voters delivered a mixed verdict on Paul Ryan this week.
His House constituents returned him to Congress. They also voted narrowly for the Mitt Romney-Ryan ticket.
But his congressional victory margin was his smallest ever (11.5 points).
He lost his hometown of Janesville twice: by 10 points for Congress and by 25 points for vice president.
And the GOP ticket lost the battleground state of Wisconsin by 7 points in a race Republicans thought would be far closer. In Ryan's southern Wisconsin district, the Romney-Ryan ticket ran about 3 points behind Ryan the congressional candidate.
In the end, there's little in the numbers to suggest Ryan provided a meaningful home-state boost to Romney.

Obama is a white and black president. I don´t like either half.
J.C. Watts is a gentleman. Chrissie obviously got his marching orders when he got called to the White House.
JC Watts was a guest on Hannity´s radio show today and admitted he might be challenging Reince Priebus to be head of the RNC. I like JC, but if he can be talked into this by Chrissy Matthews, I don´t think he should take that job. We need somebody like Sarah Palin. She would be perfect!
Sarah or Rep. West!
He wasn´t talked into anything. He said he was critical of the Romney campaign for not being more diversified -- and many here at Lucianne were saying the same thing.Chrissy Matthews bullied his way through these statements he wanted to make as usual. He also called the RNC "clowns" and people still think he´s a journalist.All J.C. said was the RNC "needs a different tone" -- and it does. A lot of us are resigning from the GOP because of their tin ears.
I strongly believe that this racist card has been played for so long and so hard that it is so totally irrelevant.Americans for the most part could care less what pigment the president has...we just all seek some one who is actually competent.However, as the first 1/4 black president who has played the race card every single day of his life, he has set race relations back at least 50 to 100 years and is the living, breathing and spitting image of why affirmative action is a complete failure and only reduces the "whole" to the lowest common denominator. His entire administration of affirmative action employees proves that they are judged not by the content of their character but merely the color of their skin.
#3. J.C. Is indeed a gentleman but absolutely the worst demeanor on these shows. Right now? Right now, when Dems are their nastiest, he goes on THIS show to discuss Republican problems? Oh boy, that was smart.
I´d prefer Michael Steele. At least he was fun. This Watts fella is squishy - reminds me of Ms. Lindsay Gramnesty.
Tingles is a lunatic. He has no grasp of reality.What we don´t like is the fact that 0bama is intentionally destroying America. We don´t like people of any kind who are determined to destroy America.
I like JC but he does not think quickly on his feet. He never should have gone on Matthews´ show as I am sure he couldn´t get in a word edgewise. I am sorry to say I don´t think he would be good at the job he apparently wants.
He was tackled too many times by MUCH bigger players.

+ City Pizza doubles in size
City Pizza, located at 6645 Midnight Pass Road, is expanding its space to 3,600 square feet — twice its previous size — and adding a bar featuring craft beers and TVs.
The restaurant's owners, Frank and Marylou Segretti and their son, Frank Jr., bought the former real-estate office next door. They increased their seating from 75 to 125 people.
"We always knew that our product was the best around, but we didn't have the space we wanted," said Marylou Segretti.
The Segretti family owned an Italian restaurant in the Bronx, N.Y., for nearly 40 years before moving in 1990 to Sarasota for the sunny weather. Frank Segretti Jr. also owns Tavern on Main, in downtown Sarasota.
The renovation will be complete in two weeks; City Pizza will re-open Monday, Feb. 4. City Pizza is open from 11 a.m. to 2 a.m. Monday through Sunday.
+ Mandala Med Spa adds hoop dancing
Mandala Med Spa and Yoga Shala added hoop-dancing classes to its already extensive list of meditative courses. The spa aims to "unite Eastern and Western medicine therapies for a holistic approach to beauty and wellness," said spa director Angela Nisbet.
Hoop dancing combines dance, meditation and exercise to tone and heal the body. Participants are taught various hoop techniques such as keeping the hoop up and dancing in the hoop to find their own rhythm. Classes are 10 a.m. Wednesdays. In addition, a tai chi chih series will be offered at 11 a.m. Mondays and Fridays, starting Feb. 1. Tai chi chih is moving meditation designed to activate balance. It incorporates slow, gentle movements that help reduce stress and regulate blood pressure and weight.

text: I've been roleplaying with friends off and on through high school. It's something I really love and have been missing since I've been in university. We mostly did unstructured high fantasy that simply evolved as we wrote, but my interest extends into sci-fi, steampunk, apocalyptic, modern day super-hero, etc. As far as fan-fic, I'd be interested in Doctor Who and Avatar: The Last Airbender as those are the two that I am most thoroughly versed in the canon. That's not to say that this is the extent of my fan-fic interest, it's just that I'm fairly new to most of my other fandoms. Anyways, all this to say, I love to roleplay and am looking forward to joining in on this site.

text: Kevin Delaney is not your typical Development Officer. Rather than working to raise assistance for a particular college or program within St. John's University, Delaney reaches out to an entire region of alumni – living throughout Long Island and parts of Westchester and Fairfield Counties – for their support of the University as a whole."Those areas are very important to us," Delaney said. "We want to make sure that we keep them actively involved with the University so they remain connected and supportive." Delaney's favorite part of his job is bringing alumni back to the Queens campus, showing them how the campus has transformed over the last 10 years. "I really enjoy bringing our alumni back, walking them down memory lane related to their experiences here as students and showing them St. John's today," he explained. "When I visit graduates at their homes or towns, it's always a great time. But when you bring them back here – some of them haven't been back in 30, 40, even 50 years – you get to see the joy and pride they have for St. John's. They talk with students and are amazed at the beautiful new campus." Like the alumni he works with, Delaney has a similar sense of awe when walking around the Queens campus. He's seen it grow firsthand, having worked at St. John's from 2003-2011 as Senior Associate Athletics Director for Compliance. "I've been here eight years, and I've seen a lot in that time," he noted. "Taffner Fieldhouse, the D'Angelo Center, St. Thomas More Church, renovations on Carnesecca Arena and cosmetic enhancements to St. Augustine Hall. We've grown by leaps and bounds, and these new pieces we've added to campus are really impressive." As beautiful as the Queens campus is, Delaney is convinced that it's the people that truly make St. John's what it is. "The alumni, the students, my colleagues who work here – everyone understands that it's not all about them," Delaney said. "The collegiality, people working together for a common goal – that's something very special that you see here, and something that really puts the University's Vincentian mission into perspective." In his new role, Delaney has learned just how fully St. John's alumni embody that mission. The graduates' willingness to give back, both of their personal time and resources, is a testament to their acceptance of the Vincentian ideals and their eagerness to support the University they love. "The amount of service and the amount of good St. John's does for the community is astounding, and the people who go to school here don't forget that," he explained. "While building their own success, they haven't forgotten that there are others out there who need help and support. And that, by far, is one of the most special things I've seen since I've been here at St. John's."

TextProject, a non-profit corporation founded in 2010 by Elfrieda H. (Freddy) Hiebert, begins its free Common Core State Standards (CCSS) webinar series today, January 25, at 12:00 noon Pacific Time (3:00 p.m. Eastern Time) with the topic "Research and the Common Core: Can the Romance Survive?" with Dr. P. David Pearson from the University of California, Berkeley. Space is limited. Reserve your Webinar seat now.
As states move into implementation of the CCSS, questions are arising. The answers to these questions are many and often conflicting. Opinions, interpretations, advice, materials, and lessons are being offered by legions of consultants and companies. This series of webinars on the Common Core State Standards offers educators the chance to hear from, and talk with experts who served in advisory roles to the CCSS development team. In their webinars, experts will discuss the knowledge base of the original CCSS report, ancillary documents, reports of foundations and policy groups, current implementation projects, and newly published research. The webinars will give educators the opportunity to focus on the core goals of the CCSS and to chart a course that supports literacy levels needed for the 21st century.
P. David Pearson
Pearson's presentation considers the research foundations of the CCSS, especially as it pertains to comprehension. Professor Pearson begins with the research underlying the Standards themselves and then considers the research evidence underlying content of follow-up documents such as the Publisher's Criteria (produced by CCSS writers). Pearson then describes defensible positions which educators can take in keeping policies and practices grounded in the Standards themselves and not in supplementary recommendations that did not go through the rigorous review of the Standards themselves. Dr. Pearson's presentation slides are available at his Seeds of Science/Roots of Reading website. For more information about Dr. Pearson please visit his faculty website.
Upcoming webinars in the series include:
February 27 CCSS and Education Policy with Dr. Timothy Shanahan, University of Illinois at Chicago
March 26 Quantitative Measurement of Text Complexity with Dr. Elfrieda H. Hiebert, TextProject and University of California, Santa Cruz
April 24 Key Shifts in Assessment and Instruction Related to CCSS-ELA with Dr. Karen K. Wixson, University of Michigan This presentation will illustrate the shifts in assessment and instruction related to the CCSS in English Language Arts identified by the developers of both the CCSS-ELA and the forthcoming assessments. These shifts include: 1) Regular practice with complex text and its academic language; 2) Reading, writing and speaking grounded in evidence from literary and informational text; and 3) Building knowledge through content-rich nonfiction.
May 30 Informational Text and the CCSS: Pitfalls and Potential with Dr. Nell K. Duke, University of Michigan
For more information on these webinars, visit the TextProject website.
All of these webinar hosts will also be presenting at the International Reading Association's 58th Annual Convention on April 19-22, 2013, in San Antonio, Texas. Use the iPlanner event search feature to find their programs, and visit the convention website for more information.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Speaker Nancy Pelosi says she lacks the votes to push the Senate's sweeping health overhaul bill through the House, a potentially devastating blow to President Barack Obama's signature issue.
The California Democrat made the comment to reporters Thursday after House Democrats held a closed-door meeting at which participants vented frustration with the massive version of the legislation.
Pelosi said, "In its present form without any changes I don't think it's possible to pass the Senate bill in the House. ... I don't see the votes for it at this time." Many House Democrats, reeling from their loss of the Massachusetts Senate seat in this week's special election, want the party to pursue a more modest health bill.
THIS IS A BREAKING NEWS UPDATE. Check back soon for further information. AP's earlier story is below.
WASHINGTON (AP) — Support for a White House-backed plan for salvaging the massive health care overhaul is eroding in the House as Democrats reeling from the loss of the Massachusetts Senate seat argue for a less ambitious approach.
The House leadership has made no decision on whether to press ahead with the Senate bill, but rank-and-file Democrats vented their frustration at a closed-door meeting Thursday. Emerging from the session, Rep. Michael Arcuri, D-N.Y., said: "The mega bills are dead. If we didn't see what happened Tuesday night, we have blinkers on."
Rep. Dennis Cardoza, D-Calif., said there was more support for refocusing on the health care changes with more popular appeal among American consumers. Republican Scott Brown captured the Massachusetts Senate seat, disrupting the Senate's power to move quickly on health care.

San Vicente Road Traffic Controls
Expect traffic controls on San Vicente Road between San Diego Country Estates and just east of Wildcat Canyon as SDG&E works to underground the power lines. Construction is only permitted between 9 a.m. and 3:30 p.m. and road closure is not allowed. Total project timeline is estimated to last approximately eight -10 weeks.

Del Dios Striping (Caution: Wet Paint!)
DPW Striping Crew will be working on Del Dios Hwy starting Tuesday, Dec. 10, through Friday, Dec 13 from 10 a.m. to 2:30 p.m.. Work will include refreshing all striping and roadway legends starting at Clauden Road (the Escondido city limit) and going west to the intersection of El Montevideo and Del Dios. Watch for message boards and other signage starting Dec 2. Plan your commute during those four days to include some minor traffic delays, but we will make every effort to minimize impact to motorists. Please also watch out for our crews and equipment, and do not drive across the wet paint.
But it's more than just roads. DPW crews are always at work building and maintaining our County infrastructure, ensuring our wastewater and stormwater systems are fully operational, our inactive landfills are monitored and maintained, our environment is protected through effective recycling programs, and of course, working to keep our County roadways safe and passable.
Storm Ready: We are Certified!
It's the rainy season and dark clouds and rain are in the forecast. DPW crews have been working all year to prepare - cleaning storm channels and drains, clearing and replacing under-the-road culverts, all to keep our roads safe and passable.
And once again this year the County of San Diego is designated as a StormReady County, thanks to the efforts of DPW's Flood Control Section. This certification by the National Weather Service demonstrates that San Diego County is prepared for storm-related disasters. The program also helps save on insurance premiums across the unincorporated county.
Flood Control staff have redesigned our storm operations center (The Weather Center) to more efficiently conduct storm operations, expanded our webcam program at low water crossings subject to frequent flooding, developed a near real-time flood forecast model for the San Luis Rey River Watershed, designed and helped conduct a comprehensive regional flood disaster exercise, and expanded the ALERT flood warning system. All to help us better prepare and keep us informed during severe weather.
Check for road closure notices, snow plowing operations, and other safety advisories on the DPW Facebook and Twitter pages, and during severe weather on the DPW Emergency Page. And above all - be safe this winter season. Don't cross flooded roadways where you cannot see the pavement, and watch for DPW crews plowing the mountain roadways during and immediately after the storms.

The sage Hillel summarized the entire Torah by saying, "That which is hateful to you, do not do to your fellow. That is the whole Torah; the rest is the explanation; go and learn it."
Sometimes it is hard to help people, and sometimes you can help people by just using whatever it is you have at the time – even an amazing fishing rod.
Musial told the taunted Jackie Robinson: "I want you to know that I'm not like many of the other guys on my team."
Brooklyn resident David Siller, currently studying in Israel at Yeshivat Yesodei HaTorah in Beit Shemesh, was awarded a trophy for finishing 3rd in his age group (14-18) in a 5-kilometer race for the benefit of the Benjamin Children's Library of Beit Shemesh.
Today is day six without a phone.
Besides for feeling slightly isolated, it's not too bad.
I've been doing things that I know I would not be doing if my phone was sitting next to me, shiny screen beckoning.
Is anyone else alarmed by the way extended warranties are sold on just about anything and everything? It means one of two things – either someone has found a great way of getting consumers to part with more of their hard earned dollars or manufacturers have no faith in their own products. Neither of those options is particularly heartwarming.
As I described Gaon in a review in June 2001 ("In Search of Ancestors, Sculpture by Simon Gaon" at Yeshiva University Museum), his Bukharian Jewish roots are deeply embedded on both sides of his family, echoed in his early yeshiva education.
Let me begin by congratulating my dear machatunim, Soraya and Jay Nimaroff, on being the recipients of the Community Service Award at the Sderot Hesder Institutions 18th annual anniversary dinner.
Think of your issues this way: due to those different backgrounds, you have a "shovel" to deal with difficulties while he has a "spoon".
Do you remember the good old days when kids were kids and there was never anything to worry about? Those days never really existed, but today there are issues kids worry about that weren't issues for some adults. They include fear of bullying, natural disasters, divorce, and violence.
In Part I talked about celebrating 30 years of Regesh Family and Child Services providing services to children, teens and families. I shared the agency's origin and the many lessons I have learned through this journey. As I mentioned, it is my hope that my experiences will add to your toolbox of life skills.
Unfortunately, a map of the Middle East with no mention of Israel is nothing new… It is surprising however, that the world's largest publisher of children's literature, Scholastic Books, has joined in this trend.
There are three kinds of travelers: there are tourists, there are businesspeople, and then there are historians like Ben G. Frank.
The last kind doesn't simply go from here to there. They try to relive history and find the real meaning behind what they experience.
Behind "the news" there's almost always a story that isn't being reported, and certain kinds of phenomenon occur almost simultaneously all over the world in almost every era.
Whether this is a memoir or autobiography or whether this book was written as an article of regional diplomacy, King Abdullah does come across in this book as a quite sincere person making a valiant effort at regional diplomacy, who is trying to quell terrorism in the Mideast and raise the social and economic levels of his countrymen.
As any psychologist can tell you – no two people who see an event come away with the very same experience. Criminologists and detectives who question people who may have witnessed a crime experience the fact that several different people will report various versions of the event.

I've always been amazed at how historians pore over some old documents and books in some dusty basement storehouses, and yet are able to come up with a volume that's readable and enlightening – and even entertaining. Unfortunately, most of them aren't, but this is surely an exception.
When we first received Rabbi Weinstein's new tome, following the great success of his first book, Up, Up and Oy Vey, we expected a collection of guf-faws and chortles.
I was once a member of a congregation during a time that the New York Times was affected by a strike.
