I made this guide as specific and as step by step as I can, the only thing that dragged me down from finishing my boombox early, was the documentation for instructables that I did for this project. I hope you enjoy it!
My version was so efficient that it even had the capability to beat or match-up the sound of the Monster™ Beatbox (by Dr. Dre), Zeppeline™ Air, Altec Lancing™ IMT800 and IM7. My boombox has the capability to release a clean, deep and low bass, with the perfect midrange level and has a spectacular treble that seems to sooth the ear. It has a two way speaker system which will definitely reduce the amount of distortion given off by the speakers thus improving your audio experience.
Frequency response: 45Hz-20kHz
Max Amplifier Wattage: 2x30W Stereo
Total Harmonic Distortion (THD): 0.1%THD
Max Speaker Wattage: 150W-200W RMS
Speaker Size: Woofer (5.25"), Fullrange (1.75")
Enclosure's Dimensions: H= 5.75", L= 19", D=6"
Other Feature's: iPod Dock, USB Media Reader, IR Remote, Bass Trebble Equalizer and etc.
Audio Input Type: RCA, Auxiliary (3.5 Stereo) and 30 pin iPod Dock.
This project is ideal for: Picnics, Parties, Car Road Trips, Home Use and etc.
If you don't have time reading the long texts, there are summaries written in bright red text below each step.
"It takes pure craftsmanship and experience to build a highly efficient boombox from scraps and pieces. "

you could probably work with what this guy did
Really awesome!
Do you have the schematics for the amplifier? I really want to make my own amplifier from scratch. No use buying one. And since I'm a begginer, a would really aprecciate a detailed circuit w/ materials.
Tank you so much!!
Be sure to come back this September, I have a lot of plans for my list of audio projects.
Upgrade to a bluetooth mp3 module-------- http://dx.com/p/plug-in-multi-media-bluetooth-3-0-edr-mp3-player-module-w-sd-card-slot-usb-black-195461
Add a lcd voltmeter and
Add a vu-meter
Very interesting and clear DIY.
Wish I could find all the material to make it
By the way, do you know some website for newbie like me to learn something about building loudspeaker? I'd love to use your tutorial but I must change some other component to fit :)
Buy there is some outlines there isn't there ?
I'm actually using MDF wood for my HiFi Bookshelf speakers. Its extremely ideal since it's completely dense resulting to lesser vibration and lesser distortion.
1. I plan to use buy an amp so am i correct in saying i will not need to purchase the RCA,stereo jack,power switch, and potentiometer knobs?
- the amp I would use is the one you suggested (LP-2020A+ Lepai Tripath Class-T Hi-Fi Audio Mini Amplifier with Power Supply)
2. I see where the 47uf cap. goes(with full range speaker) but I am not sure where the 4700uf goes.
3. where does the 1k 1/4 resistor goes.
4. LED? is that just to be used as a power indicator?
Your project is AMAZING and looks clean like something that should be in the store. I hope you don't mind answering these questions. I have limited access to the internet so it is hard to look these questions up. I think that covers all of my questions. Thanks!

Last Summer
Screenplay : Eleanor Perry (based on the novel by Evan Hunter)
MPAA Rating : R
Year of Release : 1969
Stars : Barbara Hershey (Sandy), Richard Thomas (Peter), Bruce Davison (Dan), Catherine Burns (Rhoda)
So many films about adolescents are vapid, banal affairs, treating their subjects either as dull, cardboard cutouts with no emotions, or gross caricatures of unappealing stereotypes. Somewhere along the line a mentality developed that adolescents are unimportant, and their lives are shallow and unworthy of close examination.
But every once in a while, a film comes along that bucks these ideas, and Frank Perry's little-seen 1969 film "Last Summer" is one of them. It defies the trend by using teenagers, who are complex, deeply-felt individuals, to explore some basic aspects of humanity. "Last Summer" digs into themes of friendship, the abuse of power, and most importantly, how the worst evil can reside in the most unlikely places. In the end, this film is a downer, with few good things to say about most of its characters or humanity in general, but it portrays its subjects skillfully and effectively. It's as disturbing as it is intriguing.
"Last Summer" has close ties to William Golding's classic 1954 novel "Lord of the Flies," which also explored the dark side of adolescents. In his novel, Golding set a group of British schoolchildren alone on a desert island, and allowed them to sink into primal savagery once they were freed of cvilized rules. Golding's point was that humans are inherently evil creatures, and it is only the confines of society that keep us from reverting to animals.
Taking place during the hot summer months on Fire Island in New York, "Last Summer" has similar themes at its heart, replacing the desert island with a deserted beach. Based on the novel by Evan Hunter, it tells the tale of four teenagers: Sandy (Barbara Hershey), Peter (Richard Thomas), Dan (Bruce Davison), and Rhoda (Catherine Burns in an Oscar-nominated role). For the most part, these four teenagers are the only characters in the film, and they live with little or no restraint save what they impose on themselves. Sandy's parents are shown once or twice, but they have little or no control over her actions.
It is important to note that these are seemingly normal kids, as all-American as apple pie. Sandy is beautiful and fiercely independent, perhaps a reflection of the women's movement, which was gathering steam in the late sixties. Peter and Dan are the typical, good-looking male buddies, unable to do anything without each other. Together they make a perfect, tanned threesome, spending their days on the beach in carefree abandon. Summer, that youthful symbol of freedom from teachers and responsibility, forms a perfect backdrop for their antics. But everything begins to change when Rhoda becomes involved.
Rhoda, unlike the other three, isn't beautiful. She is chunky and kind of clumsy, too intellectual for her own good. She has a bad penchant for talking too much about her confused emotions, something the other three don't admit because it makes them look weak. Rhoda is an easy target for ridicule, and although the other three often succumb to the temptations, they always manage to draw the line. Although Rhoda often annoys them, they have an inner sympathy for her that allows them to accept her, even if it's on limited terms.
Most of the film is a slightly daring exploration of teenage angst, complete with sexual curiosity and confusion, drug experimentation, and revealing games of Truth or Dare. The film sets up several scenes where the kids could break the boundaries, but they never do. Peter and Dan continually talk about how they want to have sex with Sandy, but they never seem to get up the nerve to ask her, even though she seems to be more than willing. You can see their imminent desire to break free of social restrictions, but there's always one last strand holding them back.
But then something both shocking and disturbingly expected happens in the last ten minutes of the film. A sudden act of violence that, within the context of the story, makes perfect sense. It's shocking because we realize the whole film has been building up to this one horrible event. Far from a seemingly random act of violence, it is the result of tensions and frustrations accumulated throughout the previous two hours. Just like the children in "Lord of the Flies," these unrestrained teenagers finally give into their intrinsic evil, and the results are more than they are willing to accept.
The film ends with them walking up the beach, the deadened look of innocence destroyed -- not just lost -- etched on their faces. As the credits begin to roll, we finally understand the full implications of the title "Last Summer" -- this was the last summer they lived as innocents, and for their rest of their lives they will be forced to live under the haunting weight of a terrible secret, made all the worse because they brought it on themselves.

"Wouldn't that be consistent with Travyon Martin getting off of George Zimmerman and George Zimmerman raising the gun and firing it?" Guy asked Root, a use-of-force expert.
"It could be consistent with any kind of movement ... We weren't there so the info that we have is George Zimmerman's statement," he said.
Later, defense attorney Mark O'Mara straddled the dummy himself, pounding the back of its head against the carpeted courtroom floor, demonstrating how he says Martin gave Zimmerman the head wounds seen in police photographs from the night of the shooting.
He later asked Root -- a former police officer with extensive training in firearms and self-defense -- if it would have been possible for Zimmerman to reach around Martin's body to get at a gun located near his hip.
"Yes, sir," Root replied, minutes before Nelson called a lunch break.
Earlier, Root testified the apparent fight between Zimmerman and Martin went on for a relatively long time -- some 40 seconds -- and was clearly marked by a high level of fear and anxiety.
"I have personally sat there and timed it myself, where it is about 40 seconds of time. That's a very long time to be involved in any type of physical altercation," Root said.
"We have a golden rule," he told defense attorney Mark O'Mara. "If you have not successfully completed the fight, if you have not won the fight in 30 seconds, change tactics, because the tactics you are using are not working."

The Picture of Health
As we developed the concept for this month's cover package ("Lifesavers," page 58), we knew that photographs would play an especially powerful role in telling stories of people who had faced dire medical situations—including, in separate cases, a severed hand, brain surgery and abdominal cancer—and built healthy lives on the other side of crisis.
Photographer Tessa Berg returned to the newsroom with truly inspiring images. In page after page, we see joy, relief, happiness, vigor and peace in the eyes of our subjects. In the case of Pat Marvin, whose hand was severed in a home-repair accident, there is even humor; in her portrait, she clutches a beloved power tool.
And then there is little Nicholas Metz, whose sweet smile you've already seen on the cover. I had the privilege of interviewing Nicholas' parents for our story, as their 20-month-old son ran between a window (he is amazed by the outdoors), his mom and dad and his play space a couple rooms away. He is a bundle of curiosity, wonder, excitement and action. It is nearly impossible to believe that the child on the cover was once a baby whose legs were so tiny they could easily fit through his parents' wedding rings. Now he's a vibrant little boy who claps oversized puzzle pieces together with utter glee.
In "Lifesavers," six amazing people tell their stories in their own voices; Tessa and her camera helped them tell us even more.
As it turns out, our grandparents hit the nail on the head when they said, "They just don't build 'em like they used to." That goes for cars, clothes, buildings—and the annual retail Christmas spectacular. Ben Zenitsky's story "Hustle and Bustle" (page 46) feeds your nostalgia for elaborate animated window displays, decadent decorations and being small enough to squeeze into the kids-only holiday shopping room at Lazarus.
Holiday shopping is still a bright, blinking sensory experience (don't forget the ibuprofen!), and Santa's lap is just as comfy as ever, but we lost something special with the closing of local, independent department stores. Christmas for me was synonymous with the State Street Marshall Field's in Chicago, where sugarplum fairies visited your table in the Walnut Room, fairy tales were retold in a city block of windows and chestnuts were roasted fresh at street carts. I imagine your memories are just as warm and treasured.
We spend a lot of time focusing on moving forward, anticipating what's next, having the newest thing. But it's nice sometimes to remember the way things were—and find ways to bring the best of that to our present-day celebrations.

This thread has also been used to discuss IPMI. We installed 1U cases in a rack and plugged-in the machines but they were turned-off. The air-conditioning installment was not finished, the rack doors were open but the lower part had many cables that basically covered the rear part of the nodes. That area became so hot that the rubber on the power supply cords became soft. Even the part of the racked U1 cases whose air flow was not blocked by cables, the internal part of the case became so hot that the main board "refused" to start. Moral: I won't mention the brand because I cannot compare to other brands, for our particular nodes the IPMI did not have even a tiny fan, no ventilation, but the IPMI card generates a fair amount of heat; the nodes need externally forced cold air when only IPMI is active.

Posted by Noga Gur-Arieh
After a week of UN speeches, I had the urge to tell you about politicians from my point of view. For several days now my mind has been occupied with a rumble of thoughts and feelings, and I figured the only way I can make sense of it all is to write it down. So who are politicians? They are people we vote for, usually once every four years, to represent us. We choose many, for various roles and parts, while only one of them is chosen to sit on top. This person is the State leader, and he/she is the best and worst of them all. State leaders have the most responsibility, and thus they are under the most pressure. They can try and handle it in a smart way, but the outcome is usually one big mess, with only us to blame.
When we cast our votes, we usually rely on a bundle of promises, packed one on top of another, creating a utopean vision that can never happen. We, the voters, are fully aware of the non-existing reliability of those promises, but choose to believe them anyway. Why? Probably because we crave those things, and by hearing our wildest dreams being realized from the mouth of a soon-to-be important person, we act like we're under a spell. Politicians have a very sharp tongue, especially during an election year. They know exactly what to say, and we listen. We are attracted to their words like a moth to fire, and eventually vote according to their speeches, and not by relying on past actions. We are forgiving, and therefore willing to give a second chance to a mouthful of promises we want to hear so badly. After we cast our vote to the greatest promiser we lay back and wait for the magic to happen. But since our State leaders are not Walt Disney, that's not possible. As time passes by, they make sincere attempts to follow their promises and make them reality, only to discover that's not possible. Then, as we wait patiently, they try to figure a way out, and spend about a year or so coming up with reasonable excuses. At first, we get angry, as we are tired of waiting for Utopia. We promise ourselves to never fall for their traps ever again, and begin to protest against our unrealized dreams. Then, as the election date comes closer, the game changes yet again.
A part of a politician's job is to make speeches. In fact, this is their primary job and the first requirement for the part. State leaders get to make the most meaningful speeches at the top of the political world- the UN. This is the one and only neutral organization which is as far from neutral as Britney Spears is from sanity. The closer the election date is, the more vague and more grandiose their speeches become. They basically stand behind the podium and throw words like "Peace", "Will not allow", "middle east", "obligation" and "friendship" to the air, without mentioning names and without actually saying anything. Then, when their job is done, our job begins, because the interpretation is on us. The day after, newspapers are filled with the finest journalists' attempts to realize what the State leader had said. At this point, each and every one of us forms an opinion based on the newspaper we read. The politician basically sits back at his/her chair, smiling to one self. Their job is done. Ours is just beginning.
One other fact about politicians is that they have selective hearing when it comes to the world's worst enemies. A leader of a hostile country, who may put the world in danger, can say a sentence which starts with "Death to all Israelis" and ends with "Let the peace begin", and the state leaders will only hear the latter. Politicians, just like the rest of us prior to elections, can also put words and actions to a complete separation. Examples? Coming right up! When a tyrant like Assad butchers his people and then poses for a family portrait for a top magazine, smiling shyly and being quoted saying things about the peace and love, politicians will take that as a statement of peace. When Ahmadinejad makes a peace sign to the camera, while building a nuclear bomb which is officially stated for the destruction of Israel, politicians will zoom in on the peace sign without reading in between the lines (or looking at newspapers' headlines).
This leads me to the next politicians' characteristic- they are naïve. Well, they're either that or they're really good actors. I personally believe that a politician who truly believes Ahmadinejad craves peace is in the wrong business. And since they obviously make beautiful speeches and have ravishing charisma, they are in the right business, meaning they honestly can't really believe in his peace and love screen of lies. A politician who says he believes peace in the Middle East will arrive shortly is naïve. Same goes for the unbelievable politicians who listen to Ahmadinejad stating he intends to destroy every last Israeli and then shakes hands with him, saying his nuclear weapon is for research. A politician saying any of those things is a politician who sits far away from here, and has no clue what's really going on. This is a politician who has a lack of understanding of just how important Israel is for maintaining of peace in the Middle East. There are far more than one politician of that kind. There are countless politicians who truly believe in fairytale peace without changing a thing, or simply by exchanging words with our Prime Minister (who is quite a politician himself). This will not bring peace, and these are NOT the people who should sit on top of the political-diplomatic ladder.
A true state leader, the one we really need, is a person who sticks to what he believes in, even during the election year. A true state leader is the person who is willing to make a change in this world, come what may. A person who is willing to take a risk for the sake of humanity. A true state leader will not only say all of this, but actually do, and "do" is the key word. I am a realistic person, which means I have almost lost hope in such a Messiah, but deep inside, I am still looking for the politician who will bring back our belief in that profession. The most important thing we all must remember is that both the blame and the hope is on us. We must not forgive and forget like we do once in every four years or so. We must remember and face all of the wrongs and rights, not listen to polls or promises, and fight for out Utopia.

* Moran Itzkovitch (34), an Israeli with a dream, will lift off on a hot air balloon, on a journey across five continents. Itzkovitch, along with a group of one Israeli and eight Americans, will lift off from the Gilboa in Israel on October 3rd and participate in the Israeli hot air balloon festival in the south. Two days later, they will take a boat to Virginia, US, hover over ten states, and from there fly to South America, Asia, Australia and Europe. The journey is due to last one year, but according to Itzkovitch, nothing is certain when using a hot air balloon as transportation.
* In the past decade, a contest called Junior Eurovision took place. This is a singing competition starring children and aimed for children from all over Europe. The Junior Eurovision operates in a similar way to the official annual Eurovision Song Contest, where each member country submits a song to be performed on live television and radio and then casts votes for the other countries' songs to determine the most popular song in the competition. While Israel participates in the official contest since 1973 (with three wins), an Israeli delegation was invited to take part in the Junior Eurovision this year for the first time. In our delegation there are six members, ages 10 to 14, which will try to impress the rest of Europe on December 1st.
* Research on molecules' energy in coal earned Yuval Catzanelson (18) from Israel the first prize on First Step to Nobel Prize in Physics, an international contest which took place in Poland. The Israeli delegation had 16 members, from which 12 won various prizes and honorary scrolls in various categories. This made Israel come in first place as a delegation. But Catzanelson was the only Israeli member to win first prize in one of the most important categories in the contest. This will grant Catzanelson with a month-long stay in Poland, where he will perform research on his study, and will lecture in front of important figures in Physics from all over the world.
* A race car built by a group of Israeli students from Ben-Gurion University in the Negev, came in 11th on Formula SAE competition in Italy. 42 teams of Students from all over the world participated in the competition, where students design team develop a small Formula-style race car. The team that came in 1st place this year was the German team.
* Venezuela, which has no formal diplomatic relations with Israel, signed on an agreement with an Israeli company. This may not be a friendship statement, but this deal will defiantly bring Israel to Venezuela in a form of a settlement with an Israeli twist. According to the agreement, with a 400 million dollars investment- the Israeli company will build a Moshav- a unique Israeli form of settlement, which will contain 500 residence unites, schools and kindergartens, a dairy barn, chicken coops and a closed water base.

Netanyahu's speech last night really blew our minds. Every single Israeli, even the ones who have no respect for him as Prime Minister, agreed that this speech was on the verge of breathtaking. But turns out, once again, the joke's on us.
After wowing the audience with facts about Israel, the Middle East and Iran, and after breaking every rumor and misjudgment, Netanyahu pulled out a picture with the drawing of a bomb. It wasn't necessary. After all, he could have explained Iran's nuclear progress by using only words, but he probably wanted to make his speech unforgettable. Well, he definitely succeeded in doing that. Right after the speech, Israeli websites and Facebook accounts began to fill with Memes and caricatures of our prime minister and the bomb. But what started as an inside joke, managed to hurt our public image yet again.
Soon, those jokes spread worldwide, including articles in important papers, saying Israelis make jokes on Netanyahu's speech. It's true what some say: that this whole thing got people to remember this speech of all the others (Obama and Ahmadinejad included), but the way I look at it, this still bites us in our behinds. This speech contained all the right components. Netanyahu answered every single bad thing ever said about Israel. He managed not only to show the strategic importance of Israel in the Middle East, but also the damage in Iran's current existence there. He left the Palestinians speechless after mentioning the humanitarian aid Israelis provide them, which is something they consistently "leave out" whenever they get the chance to speak up. He answered all of those who try and harm us, or make us look bad in the eyes of the world and left the audience no choice but to applaud as he firmly said peace can never be accomplished by speeches, and that nuclear Iran will not make peace happen sooner.
This speech did something not many speeches do - convinced the world in its truthfulness. 24 hours later, all I can think of is what a shame none of those strong words were left. This was some healthy humor after an intense speech we all admired, and now it is out of context. This speech will definitely be the most remembered one. Only people would not remember the importance of drawing a red line, they will remember the drawing of a bomb and an empty sentence about Road Runner and Wiley Coyote. Yet again, maybe I am too much of a pessimist. perhaps this bomb will have the right impact, enough to stop the real bomb…

I have recently encountered several comments condemning and disrespecting some ways of religious beliefs. Some were aimed at me, some aimed at others. Surprisingly enough, in "some ways of religious beliefs" I don't mean other religions, I mean different ways of Judaism. It is something we all do-judge. Judgment is impossible to ignore and does not skip any of us. However, when it comes to a fellow Jew choosing to express his Judaism in a different way than another, judgment should take a step back. I am not a saint, either. In fact, from time to time I used to make remarks on fellow Jews who don't fast on Yom Kippur or mix meat and dairy. This was simply something I did, without even noticing. That is until I heard myself talk.
Right before Yom Kippur, all of the fast/no fast discussions take place. With them, come the Mitzvahs arguments, and with them come condescending comments about those who don't see some of the Mitzvahs as something worth keeping. When I rolled my eyes to a friend after stating she doesn't give a damn about Yom Kippur, it suddenly hit me: why do I do that? Why do I judge somebody else's perspective on Judaism? After all, when religious friends of mine make such comments on my way of Jewish life, I get all Big Hulk on them, firmly saying: "live and let live." If this is how I see my relations with them, the relations between me and the even less religious should not be any different. Judaism is a wide rainbow, with many paths to choose. There is not one path better than another, and there's not just one path leading to a good and healthy life. "More religious" is not better than "less religious," it's just a different path.
Yom Kippur is, to me, the realization that God respects all beliefs, even of those who don't believe in God. We sometimes tend to forget we are all in the same boat. We are all Jewish, just different types of Jewish. When the gates to heaven open as the sun goes down on Yom Kippur, God doesn't measure our Mitzvahs , so I believe. He measures our obligation to Judaism, all paths considered. But more than that, he measures our behavior as people. He measures our humanity and compassion for each other, the ability to look behind skin color, sexual preferences, or ways of beliefs. Last night, when I looked at the sky that night, after "Kol Nidrei", I knew deep in my heart that what I have to say or ask for is worth just as much as the heart-wishes of an Orthodox person or the ones of my non-fasting friend. You may agree with me, and may completely dismiss my entire statement, and that's okay. But I can only hope every single one of us will remember, especially in this time of the year, that all people are equal, and that none of us is better than the others, or entitled to more rights- in front of God or in front of the people of the world. I would like to use this stage to call you to do your best in thinking twice before passing a judgment on someone else. I sure will. חתימה טובה וצום קל!

In the past week, Muslims from all over the world lost it because of a movie. Since I haven't seen it, I'll give them the benefit of the doubt and say it is, in fact, more offensive than any artistic protest ever made before. Does this justify violent behavior on such scale? Does this justify murder? Of course not, nothing does. But it happened anyway. Islamists all over the world were so offended, they didn't set in for the civil reaction which is a legit protest and a request to ban this film. Instead they shook up the world, causing damage on an unbelievable scale because of somebody's opinion on Muhammad. Being extreme is never a good thing, and unfortunately with every religion comes an extreme group which causes all the negative opinion on that religion. That extreme group is usually easily offended and is willing to use all means to protect its honor. Judaism has it and Christianity has it, but the extreme Islamists are by far the worst. First of all, there are more extreme Islamists than extreme Jews or Christians (simply because there are more Islamists in the world, but also in relation to the total number of the religion followers). Secondly, they act more often and tend to shake the world into listening to what they have to say.
Remember I said before I am willing to pretend this to be the most offensive artistic protest ever made? I changed my mind. Why? Because it is not possible. Us, Jews, encounter offensive movies, opinion columns, an caricatures on a daily basis. We handle with "The Jew" image for centuries. We are forced to encounter dark beliefs that people still trust, even in the 21st century. In fact, those beliefs, as we all sadly remember, caused the nearly destruction of our people in the 40's of the last century. So no, this movie could not have been that offensive. And I'm sure that there were Jews over the years who reacted in a rather extreme way, but if I recall correctly, we mostly sat quiet and "swallowed the bitter pill" rather than going to the streets and giving the world quite a shake. The not-so-funny part is, however, that most of the offensive behavior towards Judaism comes from the extreme Islamists. We reluctantly watch the Israeli flag, with the Star of David and the colors of the Talis, being burned on a daily basis. We also witness countless hurtful caricatured of "the Jew" being drawn by extreme Islamists, and are forced to hear more "death to the Jews" or "death to Israelis" call than calls for peace. This gives them NO RIGHT to kill people because one filmmaker expressed his hurtful opinion, which, if you had the chance to forget, was soon accused (by them) of being a "filthy Jew". Because why not leverage their chance for yet another riot to hurt us even more in the eyes of the world.
Bottom line is the world was on fire, literally, for a week. It wasn't justified by any other than those who lit it, and people were lost their lives over an overemotional reaction. This led me to my next and probably worst problem with last week's events: The western world's reactions. I browsed online, trying to find a proper reactions from the world leader's to the riots. I found none. The U.S government, which is led by the person with the obligating title: Leader of the Free World, only said the violence was not justified. So basically, Obama nicely asked them to stop what they're doing and threatened he would not give them candy after dinner tomorrow if they won't stop their destructive behavior. No angry reaction, no formal condemnation, not even a frown. I don't know what was the reason for him to react that way. Could have been a personal reason, could be a result of a careful consideration, could be an attempt to get more voters. I don't know, and frankly I don't care. The only thing I can safely say is that this reaction was absurd, and moreover unfair in comparison to how easily Obama condemns Israel for things not even half as bad as this. This reaction is yet another link in the chain of poor foreign policies, which I don't understand. As for the U.N, I must sadly say I knew I wasn't going to find anything official from the Human Rights Council, or even from the General Assembly. After all, this is the same organization that chose to investigate the inconvenience in the Palestinian territories while the government in Syria butchered its civilians. Since I already jumped to accusations, I will point out that it is possible that I missed the U.N condemnation on my Google search and while reading the paper, but I doubt it.
On the same matter, there's also the whole "freedom of speech in any cause" discussion. As an Israeli Jew, who encounters offensive material whenever she logs on, I say that fighting this is a losing game. People have some very hurtful things to say. Some remain "in doors," some is being translated into any form of art. Blocking this would be blocking the freedom of speech, and this is a decision every country should make to itself. China has already made this decision, and its citizens are forced to be detached from the Global world. Islam countries may join China, if they wish. But preventing freedom of speech worldwide would be a step backwards. Because no matter how hurtful it is to read "you stinky Jew" as a comment to a post, a world without freedom of speech is a dark world. I know most offensive comments online are being blocked, and that's more than okay, but since we cannot track every single offensive line, it's better to leave them online than to block the entire net. Sometimes, so I believe, writing such a comment online is a satisfaction for someone who otherwise would act outside of the World Wide Web.

There is not a single Israeli who doesn't know Eskimo Limon (Lemon Popsicle), when about 20% of Israelis know it by heart. This 1978 cult film directed by Boaz Davidson became an essential part of the Israeli culture, and is being quoted on various opportunities since then. The plot is not much of a sophisticated one, and the acting is far from being Oscar worthy, but none of those came its way to become the Israeli, ahead of its time American Pie.
Eskimo Limon focuses on three male high-school students growing up in Tel Aviv and deals with each other, their peers, girls (older women as well) and adolescence. In spite of it being your typical teen flick, Eskimo Limon also tackles the more serious matters of adolescence, such as unwanted pregnancy and betrayal. Highly recommended if you want to feel like an Israeli, and simply if you're looking for some good time.

Rosh Hashana is my favorite holiday. But more than the food and the family-time, what makes this holiday my favorite is the atmosphere. It's this something I feel inside of me, in my house, in my town and nationwide. It is a one of a kind holiday spirit. As I said before, a Jewish holiday in Israel is not like the ones in the States: it is felt e-v-e-r-y-w-h-e-r-e. The stores are decorated, the people are smiling, and holiday songs are played on the radio. In Israel, every holiday carries the entire nation on a swirl of a joyful spirit. But Rosh Hashana's swirl is the best of them all. From the moment I wake up to the second I fall asleep, I feel like I'm in heaven. Ask anyone that knows me well enough and they'll tell you- in Rosh Hashana I am less cynical than ever. In the name of the holiday spirit, I will make an attempt to show you what it is that I see in the beginning of the Hebrew year…
First of all, I want to point out I am not religious, and so when I talk about a "spiritual experience", I am not referring to anything God-ish. My spiritual holiday experience does exist, but in a different way. It's that something in the air that gives me the feeling life is too good to be true, and I have every reason to celebrate it. Here are the three things I love about Rosh Hashana:
The first thing I love about Rosh Hashana is the radio. Every Rosh Hashana eve, from noon to 4pm, the biggest radio station, Galgalatz, ranks the best Hebrew songs of the year, and hands out awards for the best female singer, best male singer, best musical group and the "breakthrough" of the year. It's just like Billboard, only it happens once a year on such a scale. During those four hours, I am wearing my headphones. I usually work out during the first hour, and do some holiday shopping for my family at the mall at the second hour. In the next hour I walk down the streets, soaking in the holiday atmosphere as I greet my neighbors with a "happy holiday" greeting, and watch the people get ready for their big family dinners. The fourth hour is my quality time with my mother. Every year, we rank the songs together, and then listen to the top ten songs (the last hour) together, while cooking for the holiday dinner. This is most definitely my favorite time of the day, and my favorite type of mother-daughter time.
The second thing I love about Rosh Hashana is the optimism. In every holiday people feel slightly elevated, but Rosh Hashana makes everyone fly high in the sky. First of all, for three days, there is almost no bad news. The newspapers are filled with special interviews and very optimistic summaries of the year. Almost as if all that's wrong in the world faded away. Moreover, the people themselves seem to be less angry and anxious. It's almost as if we live in a Disney movie for the three days of holiday. The usually rude, easily triggered Israelis seem to forget their stereotypes, and appreciate their friends, family, neighbors and strangers more than the usual. I love that nationwide optimism. It's nice to know the world is not only crime, nuclear weapons and diplomatic issues. In a "regular" day, we sometimes tend to forget the good, and make more room for the bad. We take our loved ones for granted, we pay no attention to our attitude towards strangers, and we read mostly negative stories in the papers. One of the outcomes of this bursting optimism, and another thing that makes me love holidays, is the fact that this is the only time of year I almost enjoy traffic. During Rosh Hashana eve, the roads of Israel are packed with families trying to get to their dinner in time. I may not know this for a fact, but I have a pretty solid feeling every single car plays the same station, and in that way, all of Israel shares a moment. The songs playing on the radio, along with the atmosphere in the air, makes the record-breaking traffic bearable and almost nice. So bearable that it's the only time you hear almost no honks and curse words. Rosh Hashana is also a time of giving. It is the time when we put our own problems aside and open our wallets and our hearts for the ones in need, in order for them to have a decent holiday dinner as well. This, to me, is simply beautiful, and Israel at its best. The fact Rosh Hashana is ten days prior to Yom Kippur, along with it being the first holiday to open the longest holiday period of the year after five months of drought- makes our thoughts and interactions extra positive.
The third thing I love about Rosh Hashana is the family-time. During this holiday, I almost never leave the house, and neither do my brothers. The result is the best family time you could ever think of. Unlike the average Friday dinner, where we are all anxious to meet up with our friends, the Rosh Hashana dinner always takes longer. Everyone seems to have all the time in the world, so we sit together in the living room and sing as my father and brother play the guitar. Our Rosh Hashana dinners are also in a very big scale. Usually, there are about 80 of us staying at my aunt's, which makes this holiday dinner extra special for all of us. During the two days of holiday, the family-time continues, as we go for lunch at another aunt's house, and spend some time at home together, sometimes watching old family videos.
I hope you all find what you love most about this special holiday, and may you have the best of times during the upcoming Hebrew Year. חג שמח!

* Warren Weinstein, an American Jew, was captured by Al Qaeda a year ago. After turning to Obama for help, he now asks Netanyahu to give his captors all they want and release him back to his home. The leader of Al Qaeda demanded the release of all Al Qaeda and Taliban members which are held in the US. In addition, he demanded that the United States and its allies would cease from air-bombing Pakistan, Afghanistan, Yemen, Somalia and Gaza. Last May, Al Qaeda published a video of Weinstein where he turned to President Obama, asking him to answer their demands and have him released. After he refused, another video was published, this time with Weinstein addressing Prime Minister Netanyahu. He has yet to reply.
* Eli Zborowski, Chairman of the American Society for Yad Vashem, passed away last week in New York at the age of 87. Zborowski survived the Holocaust as a teenager, and after his father was murdered by the Nazis, helped save his family members, and many other Jews. Zborowski dedicated his life to the memory of the Holocaust and to helping the survivors from his residence in New York. In 1974, he founded Martyrdom & Resistance, a periodical devoted to the Holocaust. That same year, the Zborowskis endowed the United States' first academic chair in Holocaust Studies, at Yeshiva University, New York. He was appointed to the US Holocaust Memorial Council by President Jimmy Carter and reappointed by President Reagan. He was also appointed to the NY permanent Commission on the Holocaust by Mayor Edward Koch. In 1981 Zborowski founded the American Society for Yad Vashem and served as its Chairman until his death on September 10th.
* Rosh Hashana is a time of giving. It is the time when we put aside our own problems and open our hearts and wallets in order to help needy families make it through the holidays. We all give a few Shekels to at least one organization, but there are always those who give a little bit more: Last week it has been published that a 7 year old girl and a 13 year old boy gave an extra special donation to the "Pitchon Lev" organization, helping families under financial stress. The seven year old girl decided to donate all of her savings (about 150 Dollars), telling the volunteers she wants children her age to have something to eat this holiday. Later on that day, a 13 year old boy came in, and donated some of his Bar-Mitzvah money saying he won't be able to enjoy the holiday while knowing there are people who have nothing to eat at that time.
* Last week, a very exciting and tearful gathering took place in Tel Aviv: 60 survivors of Buchenwald and Dora Mittelbau concentration camps met together for the first time. The meeting was organized by the International Buchenwald Committee, and there the survivors met with some of the people in charge of maintaining the memory of the concentration camps.
* Turns out there are musicians who believe boycotting Israel is not a solution for anything. After experiencing many disappointments from musicians who caved in to politics and cancelled their scheduled concerts in Israel, it was really pleasing to hear this "trend" did not catch on with all foreign musicians. In fact, turns out some actually cleared their busy schedules in order to discuss this issue. At the 2012 Jerusalem Music Conference, a group of musicians from all around the globe rejected the idea of boycotting Israel in one of the panels held there.

Have I told you that I'm pretty sure a man invented Trick-or-Treating? A man without any children of his own? Because seriously, folks, would a woman–a mother–invent a tradition that involved elaborate costumes and unlimited candy for children? I rest my case.
Despite the fact that I had to pack for, unpack, and organize two back-to-back out of town vacations in the past week…despite the fact that I had several writing deadlines…despite the fact that just the mere effort of turning on my sewing machine these days causes me to say creative non-swearing epithets…I told two of my children I would make their Halloween costumes.
This is what my sewing room looked like by the end of the day, yesterday.
Though it may look as if poor Hunter the Dog got too close to my sewing shears, or as if I sacrificed some small animal to appease the evil spirit that dwells within my sewing machine, I can assure you that no animals were harmed in the making of our Halloween costumes. [Read more...]

The ASE-certified and AAA-approved technicians at Superior Collision and Paintless Dent Repair solve automotive issues arising from collisions and general wear and tear, specializing in repairing dents and restoring headlights. The team is lead by head tech Yury Gitelman, an Miami auto-body stalwart for more than a decade who honed his skills in Chicago and Russia. Part of his mission is spreading the word about the safety hazards that can arise from old, cloudy headlights, such as diminished visibility, especially when driving in inclement weather or through a cornfield. He cites several studies that show dim headlights increase the risk of an accident, and says that Florida law requires drivers to have high-beam headlights that show objects 450 feet ahead. When repairing dents, the team gently fixes the metal back into place from the inside, eliminating the need for paint touchups.
The emblems of Chevrolet, Kia, Dodge, Chrysler, Jeep, Ram, and Mitsubishi glint in the sun at Miami Lakes AutoMall, where a full rainbow of new and used cars awaits drivers. Meanwhile, the AutoMall's technicians diagnose already owned vehicles six days a week, replacing faulty parts and repairing paint scratches or maintaining upkeep with express oil changes and car washes. The techs can also install new tires on a car that's outgrown its roller skates or outfit vehicles with security systems.
Martino Tire's ASE-certified technicians can install new tires, rotate existing tires and balance wheels, and perform a variety of other automotive services, such as brake repairs, oil changes, and realignments. Mantino Tire carries tires from brands such as Michelin, BFGoodrich, and Goodyear.
Grease Monkeys' knowledgeable staffers equip athletes for street cruising with skateboard decks and bikes loaned out for relaxing tours. Patrons draw from a colorful cache of single-speed and multispeed Schwinn roadsters outfitted with various frames, gearing, and ejection seat options. Two-wheeled transports bear different numbers of tires and riders as they zoom by the swaying palm trees of nearby Bayside Marina and dinnertime destinations of the Bayside Marketplace. Whirring spokes screech to a halt before the awe-inspiring views and fish operas of Key Biscayne, located roughly an hour's worth of peddling from the store.

Last week I told you about my old time favorite Nivea Silky Shimmer Body Lotion, $9, that I've been using for about five years now. Although I adore the way it glistens perfectly in the light, I think it's time to try something new. I mean let's face it: they've made so many shimmery body creams within the last five years that I'm bound to be missing out on something fab if I don't start experimenting ASAP!
You guys were asked to go beauty marking to help me find a new awesome shimmer body lotion. I've checked your finds and I really like what I see. Here are a few that I've chosen to feature!
Beauty Mark #1 found by GirlInPink, is called Jergens Soft Shimmer Skin Radiance Moisturizer, $6. If this cream is anything like Jergen's original formula, I am sure it's great. Jergen's products have an awesome fragrance, they moisturize deeply and leave your skin feeling soft and supple. This one is infused with light reflectors for subtle radiance. I can't wait to try it.

Simplicity 4188 godet skirt with a touch of beninese embroidery.
A quick make with some leftover secondhand sheets, so I decided to add some detail with hand embroidery. Except I couldn't find the correct color of thread for my design. What to do, what to do? I had the brilliant idea of going to a Beninese embroiderer and having him embroider it for me by machine…. except that once there, I was distracted by a book of designs and completely dropped my original idea for some full on beninese embroidery. So here is a skirt, along with a mini tour of a tailor's shop in Benin. Followed by a photo shoot at recess, which actually isn't a good idea since the kids kept blocking my skirt.

The sea does not reward those who are too anxious, too greedy, or too impatient.
To dig for treasures shows not only impatience and greed, but lack of faith.
Patience, patience, patience, is what the sea teaches.
Patience and faith.
One should lie empty, open, choiceless as a beach
waiting for a gift from the sea.
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
A Gift From the Sea
This past month has been a challenge.
I have watched Kenny walk thousands of miles

Medicines have had reverse effects on his system.

Good evening I'm -- -- -- ominous threat today by a top senate Democrat has average Americans asking whether they're tax bills.
Will surge by hundreds maybe thousands of dollars next year.
It has to do with the political Tug of war over whether taxes should go up on families making more than 250000.
Dollars annually.
But -- congressional correspondent Mike manual tells us it has ramifications.
For nearly everyone.
Leading Democrats are threatening to take the country over the fiscal cliff if Republicans won't agree to tax increases.
That translates to allowing some 600 billion dollars in tax hikes and spending cuts to take effect next year.
Which the head of the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee laid out today.
So if we can't get a good deal.
A balanced deal that calls on the wealthy to pay their fair share.
Then I will absolutely continue this debate -- -- thirteen.
Rather than -- in a long term deal this year that throws middle class families under the -- Republican leaders worry that would throw the economy back into a recession and say this shows Democrats would do -- thing to get their way.
Make no mistake.
But the Democrats are proposing today is an entirely avoidable.
High stakes game of chicken.
And with a single minded goal.
Taken more money for those who Arnett.
For government to wage.
In a Wall Street Journal op Ed with the headline that tax cliff is a growth killer economist Arthur Laffer and financial analyst -- -- wrote quote.
The United States faces an economic collapse thanks to massive tax increases on January 1 he continued deficit spending for years on end.
That's about three and a 3% of the whole US economy.
That's something like 20% of all tax revenues.
That is a massive tax increase and when -- have tax increases like that.
That will precipitated the collapse.
The house is preparing to vote on extending all of the bush tax cuts while the White House a majority leader Harry Reid are supporting a 272.
Billion dollar plan.
To extend the cuts for individuals making up to 200000 dollars and couples earning up to 250000.
Dollars -- Obama has threatened -- veto an extension for the top 2%.
And called on congress to pass an extension for everybody else.
But -- unnecessary drama.
Needless delays and all the partisan posturing and let's just do the right thing for the people who sent us here to serve.
Though today senator Murray suggested if the bush tax cuts expire that any deal after that would be a tax cut proposal.
And would free Republicans from the no new taxes pledge.
The founder of the pledge Grover Norquist says.
He expects Republicans in the house and senate to continue to abide by it even if mr.
Obama is reelected Brett might -- meant a lot on the hill tonight Mike thank you.
