The Jewish population of Staszów was not large in number, but it was impressive in its quality. True, this population lived in poverty and want, but that did not result in dullness or indifference to fate. On the contrary, the difficult economic conditions in the town, and the special socio-political situation of the Jewish masses in general, served as a powerful force to impel people to understand their environment in order to find the best possible solution to their daily socio-political and material problems. Trade union activities, political parties, youth organizations and the like, were a direct result of this drive to understand and to take fate into one's own hands.
One of the most important factors in awakening social consciousness among the town's working class youth was the Poalei Zion (Labor Zionist) organization, which could take credit for many gains in the realm of organizing the workers to fight for an eight-hour workday, and for better social and occupational health and safety conditions in general. The party's widespread enlightenment efforts penetrated into wider and wider spheres, and exerted its influence through word and deed.
The party's central focus was on union activity, and it sent its best personnel to serve as delegates to the union leadership. Quite prominent in this area was Comrade[1] Yankev Bloch.
Whenever he had a free evening, Bloch would spend it at the labor union, putting his energy and knowledge at the service of the workers' cause. He related to all the workers with patience and love, seeking to solve the various, often painful, problems of each one. Appearing at public town meetings, organizing strikes, dealing with other [political] parties or with employers Yankev Bloch had his hand in everything. He carried out every mission successfully, to the degree permitted by the existing objective conditions.
In accordance with the principle: Solidarity is the best guarantee of success, the party did not limit itself to working with the Jewish population, but conducted its organizing and enlightenment activities also among the town's Polish working class. The comrades J. Buchman, Y. Bloch, A. Goldflus, M. Kanias, and this writer, dealt with the Polish organization PPS [Polska Partia Socjalistyczna, the Polish Socialist Party], in order to organize the cobblers, a trade almost exclusively in non-Jewish hands.
Exhausted by working a 16 hour day, under unhealthy conditions, for very low pay, the Polish worker was understandably very embittered. Despite that, it was not easy to organize this population, because of their very low cultural level. It was much easier to incite them to their own detriment against the Jews, as their supposed national enemy, than to convince them, for their own benefit, to work together in the social arena with Jewish workers for their common interests. But the Poalei Zion did not cease its strenuous efforts to bring together the backward Polish element, to make clear to him his difficult situation, convincing him of the real possibility of improving his condition and encouraging him, through the trade union, to join in a united struggle for better conditions.
Often these gatherings were disrupted by the Polish police, armed with guns and billy clubs, who, at every sentence that displeased them, threatened the speakers with breaking up the meeting and arresting them. Despite the persecution by the police, and the above mentioned difficulties, which, justifiably or not, drew their nourishment from the long, deep- rooted antagonism between Jews and Poles, we managed to carry on with our important work, trying at these meetings to clarify the questions of the daily struggle for bread and freedom.
The working class youth of Staszów, who were unable for lack of financial resources, to continue their studies beyond elementary school, never stopped following all the current events, and closely studying scholarly texts, in seeking an answer to tormenting problems. The life of Jewish young people, who not only had to support themselves, but often also their poor parents and overburdened families, provided fertile ground for social and political consciousness. To transform this consciousness into an organized and socially transformative power this is what the young worker sought and found in the ranks of Poalei Zion.
When the party was declared illegal[2], it reappeared under the name Society for Evening Classes, and continued its organizing activity. But, in order not to be surprised by the police, it was absolutely necessary to set up a system of lookouts, complete with a pre-determined signal, all along the entire length of Tume Street [Jewish name for Kościelna, or Church Street[3]], where our premises were located.
At that time, our party meetings took place in private homes, each time in a different place. Also, the party's circulars and appeals, which urged the population to fight against economic and socio-political oppression, were produced and distributed in secret. Despite these security measures, the police tirelessly continued their wild dance and, hovered like birds of prey, trying to catch people.
Every meeting they uncovered led to arrests and confinement in the koza [town jail[4]]. The party's executive committee-- consisting of J. Buchman, Y. Bloch, A. Goldflus, M. Czapnik, and Kh. Solnik paid no attention to the difficulties. They not only continued with their work, but expanded it, establishing contact with neighboring towns like Stopnica, Chmielnik, Pacanów, Iwaniska, and others, in order, with the help of our members, to strengthen the local branches.
Yung Bor,[5] a youth organization established by the party, recruited children from age 10 and up. Mainly, these children came from the poorest segments of the Jewish population, from homes often consisting of only one room, in which there lived a large family, and which at the same time served as a workshop. These children of poverty, who were deprived of the most basic necessities, and grew up in hunger and cold, were, through the hard work of the organization, transformed into future party activists and cultural representatives of the town. Those participating in the educational program of Yung Bor were: Sh. Erlichman, Y. Bloch, T. Wassercier, Kh. Solnik and others.
The party was in close contact with the Central Committee, whose representatives would visit from time to time and encourage us in our political-cultural work. At our invitation, cultural figures from the town, who weren't members of the party, would participate in our cultural work. One of these was Majer Wajl, a teacher, pedagogue, and literary expert.
In the box evenings which took place every Saturday night, anyone could throw into the box [for discussion by the group] a question on any topic that weighed on his soul. It often happened, that after a lecture or other intellectual gathering, the audience went off into the fields, bursting with joy and song, marching in step. The members enjoyed these opportunities to the fullest extent, inhaling the fresh-smelling air so necessary after a difficult workday at a machine in crowded, stifling homes.
Often, our joy was maliciously spoiled by the so-called defenders of morality, the Polish police, who couldn't stand to see us enjoying ourselves in the midst of nature. When they approached us in their heavy hob-nailed shoes, threatening us with beatings and arrest, we had no choice but to disperse. But after leaving the fields, we went to the market square; chased from the market square, we appeared in the town park. So went the game we played until late at night. But we never got tired, never gave in, continuing our collective excursions in the expanses beyond the town.
When we heard the footsteps of the police, we thought: There go the destroyers of our freedom. But our convictions were unshakeable, and soon would come the day of liberation, the day when this arm of power would be removed and in its place would be established a regime of rights and justice for all of the oppressed.
In this unbalanced struggle we saw not only the expression of oppression by a different social class, but also, and more importantly, the revelation of an eternally enrooted hatred toward our people. Conscious that we were being persecuted mostly because of our nationality, we were strengthened in our determination to fight for the ideal of national liberation, just as we did for social liberation the ideal that after so many generations of oppression would be realized in the land of Israel.

Geographically, Staszów was located 22 kilometers from the Wisła [Vistula River], which divided Russian Poland from Galician Poland. It was part of Kielce Wojewódstwo [Voivodship], Sandomierz Powiat [District]. The town numbered 10,000, of which one half were Jews.
With the exception of a few rich men, great poverty reigned among us. As a result, our town here, I mean our Jewslived a rich spiritual and intellectual life. Staszów had two besmedroshim [sing. besmedresh study house, also used as house of worship] and the voice of the Torah resounded throughout the town. The besmedroshim produced not only rabbis, but also activists of the political, social and cultural movements. Staszów boasted a rich library, which was renowned even in the farther reaches of the region. Not only did we partake of the intellectual influences that came to us from Warsaw or Vilna (Wilno), we passed them on to the smaller towns nearby.
On our own initiative, we established drama circles, educational institutions, sports clubs and reading rooms. Most of our events were attended not only by our own Staszower audiences, but also by people from the surrounding areas. Interestingly, larger groups would chip in to rent a wagon, travelling 3 or 4 miles by oxcart, to arrive, singing, in town. Those who couldn't afford to hire a wagon, but who were impelled by a fervent interest in Yiddish, would come by foot from the surrounding towns. And it should be noted that often these events would start at 11 o'clock at night, because they waited for people who were trudging along the roads and didn't want them to worry that they might be late.
The pioneer of the Socialist movement in Staszów was the Bund[1]. It sowed the first seeds. But, slowly, in response to the Russian Revolution, new winds began to blow. The impoverished population, especially the youth, earnestly believed that the revolution would solve all of its painful problems. This belief tore the youth away from the besmedroshim, and from their fathers' influence. Various organizations were created and developed, which completely changed the intellectual character of the town.
The bourgeois parties in Staszów operated legally, but we, the Left Poalei Zionists, were considered by the Polish police to be a destructive element and we had to endure much trouble from them. The police often came to our premises, which bore the name, Society for Evening Classes, where we conducted our cultural-educational activities. Finally, we were forced to conduct our programs outdoors, or in private residences, in a purely conspiratorial fashion, because in the eyes of the extremely reactionary and anti-Semitic police[2], every one of our activities was considered treyf [non-kosher, unclean].
It would happen that the police would drop in at our premises and as soon as they encountered some kind of gathering, they would curse us in the vilest language, threatening to close our hangout. At one such occurrence, the Staszów police chief demanded that I, as the person in charge, should resign as chairman of the Society for Evening Classes. Insisting on my resignation, he threatened me, and even my parents, with economic ruin. Not only was I not frightened off, but I served my ideals with even greater dedication and proudly spread it among the young, in the belief that by realizing the socialist ideal, we would be rid of such scoundrels.
We were especially concerned with drawing into the movement the children of poor homes, who suffered from an inferiority complex. Because of their social background, the children of tailors, cobblers, wagon drivers and the like, were considered by our upper crust to be inferior human beings. The socialist movement in general, and the Jewish socialist circles everywhere, as well as in our town such as the Bund, Hashomer Hatzair, and Poalei Zion fought against this prejudice. We had an impact on these social groups, and in fact, from these young people there emerged adults with a healthy worker's psychology, and Jews with a proud social and national consciousness.
We suffered greatly from a shortage of teachers and educators, as a result of two factors. First, we had a rather small intelligentsia of our own because our party consisted of workers, who because of their poverty, were not in a position to continue their studies. The second factor was emigration, through which we very often lost well-trained party leaders, cultural leaders, educators and trade union activists. All of them were children of poor parents, and they themselves were unable to make a living and were forced to emigrate.
At that time, the Palestine authorities did not allow any Left Paolei Zionists into Israel, and those members for whom emigration was a necessity and whose greatest desire was to go to Israel, had to emigrate, against their will, to somewhere else. So, time and again, another member of the leadership was snatched from us as by a bird of prey. So it was with our comrades Penczyna[3], Sh. Tenenbaum, M. Czapnik, A. Krakauer, F. Ajzenberg, who live today in the Americas. A few, like Y. Bloch and Khaye Solnik were able to break through the gates of the Palestine authorities and live today in Israel.
Each time we lost an active leading member, another took his place and had to work hard to replace him, by educating and developing himself. In this way, we continued to create new cadres of members, who were previously backward and limited in their knowledge and party experience, but who, as a result of their efforts, rose on the party ladder.
Of course, the comrades from Hashomer Hatzair also helped us in our educational work, because they were recruited from the prosperous class, and a lot of them already had cultural experience: they were students in the town gimnazjum [academic high school], a thing the children of the poor could only dream of. Comrade Majer Wajl (lives today in Israel) deserves special mention in this area.
The Hashomer Hatzair, which did not conduct any political activities in the lands of the diaspora, nevertheless understood that we, the Poalei Zion, were the party closest to their ideology, and they often supported us in the trade union, in cultural work, in political work, and in election campaigns.
We also had to put up with and to fight against the anti-Semitic movement, which penetrated into Staszów from the big city. We especially had to defend ourselves against the students of the Polish gimnazjum, who organized boycotts and attacks upon the Jewish youth, who liked to read and study in the midst of beautiful, free nature, in the town's public garden, and on the Golejów Road, which led to the fields and woods, and which was our favorite place to walk. The Polish gimnazjum students tried to drive us away from all of these places, and we were forced to set up a self-defense organization, in which all the Jewish parties participated. Reacting with physical force against those who sought to drive us into a cramped ghetto, we reclaimed our right to enjoy fresh air.
In writing and describing the anti-Semitic actions of the Polish students against the Jews, I recall bitter memories of the behavior of the adult Polish population, the endeks [member of the ND, the Polish National Democratic Party[4]], and especially of the so-called [class] conscious Polish working class, I mean the Polish socialists, during the Nazi occupation. But I will write more about this below.
Until the outbreak of the war I was one of the two members of the Staszów town council from the Left Poalei Zion; the other was Comrade Mordka Goldfeder[5]. [2] Despite the fact that the Polish Socialist Party also had two councilmen, it was I, who, at the council meetings, very often spoke out against the clergy, against reactionism, and in defense of the working class, Polish as well as Jewish.
The meetings of the town council would attract many Polish socialist and communist leaning workers, who would listen to my speeches, applaud me, and finally, after the meeting, they would come up to me and shake my hand for my devoted defense of the workers' interests.
All of this was well and good, until the war broke out and the Germans invaded. Then I immediately saw, actually from the very first day, the tragic degradation of the supposedly class conscious Polish workers. Only one thing remained of their socialism: Anti-Semitism. All of them, just like the rest of the Polish people, were crazed with hatred of the Jews and the desire to annihilate them.[6]
Here I will relate the following facts:
Immediately after the Germans arrived and began persecuting the Jews, they promulgated a law, forbidding Christian doctors from seeing or providing any kind of medical treatment to Jews. It just happened that my wife fell gravely ill, and I took her to the Polish Doctor Niewirowicz, also a former councilman, with whom I had been quite friendly. How great was my surprise when Niewirowicz not only refused to help my sick wife, he didn't even want to shake my hand.
The debasement of the Poles and especially of the Polish working masses, who had so quickly united with the enemies of the Jews, was one more tragic experience for my Jewish socialist consciousness.
Just like all of Poland, which was in such a tragic way emptied of all of its Jews, so is Staszów today free of Jews. There is no longer any Jewish life there, and certainly no Jewish youth, who used to walk while singing along the Golejów Road to the fields and woods and enjoy their best hours there. The trees of the forest would listen to the voices and to the laughter of the Jewish young people, who in the lap of nature, dreamed of liberating the world, loved, and felt happy. This Jewish youth was cut down, killed and the forest there has been orphaned; it remembers and thinks about those golden dreams and days, which were so tragically cut off.

In the heroic battle fought by the united workers' movement in Poland in the period after the First World War, the workers and masses of Staszów inspired by the October Revolution [Bolshevik Revolution in Russia, 1917], and other factors contributed an interesting chapter on the stubborn, fearless struggle for a better tomorrow.
In the time period we are talking about, the Jewish community in Staszów was among the most developed both socio-politically and culturallyin the Kielce area. Who does not remember how our communal life bubbled over with [political] parties, institutions, choruses, clubs, schools, libraries, reading rooms, etc.? Who can forget, how after work, our books under our arms, we would fill the streets, gardens and fields with song and conversation, that resounded for kilometers around? And the meetings, lectures, and masuvkes [outdoor gatherings] of the various political orientations, from extreme right to extreme left.
When a lecturer appeared in town and we used to bring in the best speakers the biggest locations, mostly the big besmedresh[1], would be packed with listeners, who lusted after knowledge and information, following everything that was going on in the wide world. Often we invited speakers to secret meetings, of course in private homes, given the danger of discovery by the police, which poked its nose into every corner.
And the ardor and fanaticism of the election battles for the Sejm (Parliament), or for the town council, during which each party tried to outdo the others with its agitation and sensational sloganeering! I remember how, during one such election, one party posted on banners this slogan, among others: Do you want bread, a home, work? Then vote for our slate!
Against the background of this politically impassioned Jewish community, the Jewish workers of Staszów almost 100% of them organized in strong trade unions and other organizations and institutions carried out successful strikes, taking over an array of socio-economic and political posts. But it must be emphasized that among this aware, dynamic, working class of Staszów, a significant place was occupied by the radical left wing.
Despite the illegal status under which the radical left was forced to carry out the work of enlightenment, when mere membership posed the threat of years of imprisonment, we fearlessly continued our activities in all areas. Years before the outbreak of the Second World War, this revolutionary part of the Staszów working class instinctively perceived the danger of the coming war, and even then, in the proclamations it distributed under the noses of the hostile police, emphasized the need to fight against the danger of war.
Also at this time, there were risky attempts to organize May Day demonstrations, which even important industrial cities with much larger proletariats didn't dare to carry out, because of the prevailing political conditions in Poland. In fact, their boldness ended very badly.
Because of a provocateur, a wave of arrests and long prison sentences fell upon our betrayed comrades. But, despite this heavy blow, we did not give up our ideological and organizational enlightenment work. Moreover, the very same comrades, returning to the town after serving their prison sentences, voluntarily signed up again to work for the party, despite the personal danger this presented.
This unceasing, stubborn workers' struggle against the enslaving socio-economic and cultural-political conditions, despite its futility and constant victimization, continued until the outbreak of the Holocaust of the Second World War that very Holocaust in which Hitlerism, unfortunately supported by other powers, destroyed all the Jewish communities that fell under its odious regime, including our dear Staszów.
Honor to their eternal memory.

As soon as life began to normalize after the end of the First World War, and a handful of young fellows, amateurs, began to play futbol on the wide meadows outside the town, or on the pipale, a group of dedicated fanatics, under the leadership of this writer, seized the initiative to begin to organize a soccer club worthy of the name.
The group began its work with extremely modest resources. In addition, the number of players who were ready to devote a large portion of their free time to physical development was very, very small. This was entirely unsurprising, considering the general cultural climate in which the youth of Staszów lived. Thus, they barely managed to assemble a single section of soccer players, a bit more than a team, whose entire possessions consisted of a 4 by 4 [meters] room somewhere in a corner on Stodolni [Barn] Street, a playing ball, and a pair of short underwear.
It didnt take long, before this modest sport club, which at that time called itself Blitz, began to grow rapidly. New members streamed in, and the soccer team grew significantly stronger. They also added a number of sections of light athletics, such as bicycling, gymnastics, etc.
The work of the greatly expanded club went beyond sports activities. Even externally, it could be seen that the club was becoming more established. At its new, much nicer and larger premises, which were behind the movie theater, it already was offering a whole array of sports activities, such as gymnastics, ping-pong and the like. In addition, every team in each section was provided with uniforms. From time to time, they held evening events at the new premises, the significant proceeds of which were used to sustain the already existing sports programs and to add new ones.
The club, which had in the meantime changed its name to HaKoach, in recognition of the then-renowned Viennese sport club by that name, would often engage various theater troupes, such as that of Sigmund Turkow, or sports appearances by the well-known Jewish athlete Gerszon Brajtbard and his ensemble. These events, which took place in the movie theater or the firemens hall, brought in significant income, which enabled the club to improve and expand the sports program, with all kinds of new equipment, etc. At the same time, the sportsmen and their supporters satisfied their cultural needs, a factor which, by Staszower standards, was very important.
As noted, the activity of HaKoach was greatly expanded, encompassing a whole array of sports, providing necessary, suitable equipment, etc. But it must be stressed that the main emphasis was on the development and technical training of the soccer section. In this regard, it should be noted that from time to time, we were visited by one of the best players from the łódź HaKoach, Romek Segal, a fellow townsman of ours, who devoted a lot of time and effort to training our soccer players, especially when they were getting ready for a match with other clubs.
This intensive program brought honor to our athletes, as well as to the whole Jewish population of the town, when, as often occurred, they emerged the victors in their matches with military sports units, or with Jewish or Christian teams from the surrounding area.
When the club later moved, for the third time, to a new location, at Yechezkiel Herszkowiczs building on Kościelna Street, and was also legalized by the starostwo [town administration], it organized a wind orchestra. This was accomplished through the efforts of members of the leadership, who worked devotedly with me, including: Mordka Tenenbaum (called Patekl); Noyekh Frydman; Herszel Nisencwajg; White Meyer (Wajnryb); Yisroeletsh Tenenbaum; Leybush Wajsbrod, and others.
In the beginning, the orchestra had very few participants, and a limited number of instruments. But, with time, the orchestra, like the club before it, expanded its activities, after it got more, new instruments. Then it became possible to hire a special teacher, and to acquire an impressive collection of sheet music. At that time, the club orchestra was already being invited to Polish parades, at which it would play various musical pieces, mostly marches.
Although the membership of the club was politically diverse, as a whole it was nationalist-leaning, so that the orchestra took special satisfaction in participating in the annual Lag Baomer celebrations of the towns Zionist youth.
These important sports activities of the HaKoach club, and its positive influence on the physical development of the youth of Staszów, continued until the last day of the existence of Staszóws Jewish community. During the Nazi catastrophe, a significant portion of them fought for their lives, and many of them managed to survive and live today in other countries.

Chief places officer on leave, orders independent investigation
May 22, 2012 — A Susanville Police Department (SPD) officer who allegedly used excessive force making an arrest outside a noisy party at a South Gay Street residence May 16 has been placed on paid administrative leave, and the incident will be subject to review by an independent agency.
Responding to a call from the newspaper, Susanville Chief of Police Tom Downing said, "I've placed one of my officers on paid administrative leave, and I've hired an outside investigative firm that's going to investigate this incident to the fullest and make a recommendation to me. I can't make any further comment because it's a personnel matter."
Downing declined to identify the officer placed on administrative leave.
Several witnesses to the event reported the police used excessive force while arresting Jordan Patrick Drury, 24, of Janesville, and the incident has raised concerns within the community. After receiving nearly 100 comments from the public on its website, the newspaper decided to close the comment section following the story.
The chief said he wanted the public to know his department was looking into the incident. He said outside, independent investigators are often used in cases such as this one that might tend to erode the public confidence in a law enforcement agency.
Downing also dispelled one of the rumors circulating in the community — that Drury — one of two men arrested at the late night party, was arrested by SPD officers on three charges including being drunk in public when he reportedly had not been drinking.
The chief said according to the police report, Drury, the incoming associated student body president at Lassen Community College, was arrested on a single felony charge of resisting arrest.
"The drunk in public and all of that I've heard, we didn't arrest him for that — that I'm aware of," Downing said. "The police report doesn't say anything about that being a charge."
According to a press release from the SPD issued the day after the incident, officers responded to a loud party complaint about 11:20 p.m. May 16.
When officers arrived, they observed multiple individuals in the backyard. As the officers attempted to contact the individuals, they went into the residence and refused to speak with the police.
After a short time, the officers were able to contact a few people who exited the residence into the front yard.
Drury was one of those people. According to the press release, he was asked to leave because he did not reside at the residence. Drury refused to comply and a verbal exchange ensued with the officers on scene. As the officers attempted to place Drury under arrest, he allegedly resisted, resulting in a physical altercation. During the altercation, officers deployed their department-issued tasers to subdue him and take him into custody.
Lassen County District Attorney Bob Burns said he ordered Drury's release from the Lassen County Jail. He said he had rejected felony charge of resisting an officer, and his office was reviewing the case as a misdemeanor.

Taking on a couple!
Well, I am looking for one more oneXone to add to my list since everything is slow, and the few other RP's I had off this site have, without word, been abandoned and or died….So I started looking for a refuge. I have three RP's on my plate on an old site that is still active though. With that side note in place, I guess I should tell you I'm looking to take on ONE more oneXone at the moment. Since I'm new here, if you want an example of my writing all you have to do is ask!
At the moment, I'm only looking to take on ONE or TWO more private Rps, maybe two. I think that is all I can handle and give well-deserved attention to, with my studying and commitment schedule, so, yeah….I'm only going to take maybe two right now. {I so miss high school I swear I do. I could do so much more, and had so much more free time then.}
RPing Check List
▰ I'm not sure on the grading scale here, still pretty new to this site, like what you guys define a writing level at, so I guess I'll be break it down and be more specific. My spelling ability is pretty good, and occasionally mistypes in IM from time to time. My grammar doesn't make Grammar Nazis cry, {Love you guys!} I'm sure I probably have made a few errors so far, I have my slip-ups here or there like everyone else, but I'm doing my best to try and make it perfect. I consistently crank out four to five paragraphs a post, but, I usually do try to match my partners actually, but four to five is my minimal, though if I'm utterly brain dead and you give me nothing three, but lately I've noticed I've not gone under four paragraphs in ages, but if you give me something to work with, or if I'm setting a scene, I can give you a good deal more. I haven't really clocked my max yet...I've wrote over nine paragraphs if not more then that in an intro...though my intro posts do tend to get pretty lengthy....Like this. ^_^;. {I SWEAR I'm not intimidating!...I just tend to try to, well, you know, keep people from getting confused....Though probably just scaring people off now.}
▰ I double, when I play one character it's usually female, just my comfort Zone and I'm attached to a few of my character types. I know, really sad of me, especially since a lot of these things say "I'll play female only!" And has to be annoying all of you. I am a bit more open to playing both genders. I just ended up playing males 99.9% of the time…. but if we double I have no problem playing a male character, that's actually usually what I do when I play two characters…Though the few exceptions I might consider playing male I'll like bellow, but again single characters I tend to lean more towards playing female…Sorry! I know that has to be annoying someone by now…In short I do double.
▰ Now the amount of times I can post….well, depends really on my professors really; sometimes they put mini tests back to back, or I got like three papers due in the same week and that sucks the life out of me. I try to post as often as I can, at least once a week. {This is just my hobby after all, and I have to think about my future career and keep up with my responsibilities.} BUT! I do try to do more than that! Sometimes studying goes quick and I'm ahead so I have time to post pretty regular, but you got to keep in mind sometimes I can only post once or twice a week. If I'm going to take longer due to real life, muse is ignoring me or post back-ups I will tell you! I try to keep my RP buddies in the loop. So I guess I'm a bit more casual, so please don't stress me! Gentle reminders is nice if I've taken longer than a week and not informed you of any reason why..but please, don't be "Where my post B***H?!" No one likes that RP buddy…Yeah that has happen to me before…
▰ I will tell you, even if I hate to, cause I feel like a failure for some weird reason when I do, if I am abandoning this or need to pause the RP to come back to it latter. Sometimes I have lost all interest, life is to hectic and you are just tired of waiting around, or if life is just kicking my butt and I need to distance myself from the internet and my computer in general for a little bit. I WILL tell you if this happens, I know what it feels like to be left in the cold.
▰ I love romance, but very rarely as the main point of a plot though, but I do love it being a part of the story, gives a little something to distract and build along with the characters themselves, but I do like a more driving point to the plot…which is why a lot of my ideas have twists to the plots.
▰ Parings I do, I will have bellow in the ideas I have.
▰ I can play a large verity of settings.
▰ Just random fun fact about me, I fangirl, pretty often. { My top three right now is Marvel, Loki, and Tom Hiddleston. Though I'm fan-girling about a lot more then that. Counting Sleepy Hollow, Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D, most crime shows, Teen Wolf, Supernatural, Sherlock, and Benedict Cumberbatch.}
▰ I tend to like discussing ideas and chatting over AIM but if you rather not, then PM is absolutely fine.
What I Would Like From an RP Buddy.
▰ PLEASE!Tell me if you lose interest…It's starting to hurt a little when I'm left in the cold without a word.
▰ Help me drive the plot forward please, I feel this should more be a team effort then one of us being the only thing moving this thing forward. This becomes a chore instead of fun when that happens. I want this to have story~
▰ If you have any questions or ideas of your own, never be afraid to tell me! I love hearing them.
▰ PM me if you want to RP with me…Just so I know you actually read this~
▰ I by no means expect anyone to be perfect, but, please! Capitalize your sentences, use punctuation, at least give me two paragraphs and have decent grammar! It's okay to crank out two if there is really nothing to go on, but more is much loved and I'll try to always give you something to work with but I understand. Quality before quantity.
▰ If you have any limits, please tell me! Like if you hate bloody fight scenes or anything else, in your PM tell me, {this is another little thing to prove you read this list, also just good to know.} and I'll tell you mine.
▰ I'm pretty laid-back, so I don't mind waiting, but tell me if you think you might take a long time to post. I don't mind waiting for a good post.
Okay here is a few plot ideas I have. I don't play Yuri, it's just don't, but in doubling my guys can go either way, I have experience in writing both. All these plot ideas are just building blocks I'd love to discus and develop them more when you pick one. If you have your own ideas feel free to put them in and ask me question if you have any.
▰ Runaway {Free}Pairing: FXM If doubling, FXM, F/M or M/M
"They'll never find us…"
It seemed as if their life was crashing around them…If they stayed, no, they had to go, they have to run away! Though it seems running away unnoticed isn't as easy as it seems in your head. When you have a friend like this, plans tend to get complicated. What they find on their travels, trying to out run those who peruse them, fight the homesickness that tugs at their hearts, or even to find a way from one day to the next, only time will tell and they disappear into the night side by side…We only have this one life.
Setting: Okay so this can go a few ways, it can be a Modern fantasy or supernatural, even. One of them is running away from an arranged marriage, organization, crime family, or even just a bad home. Modern I kinda like the Mafia family thing for this setting, like they are being forced to become boss soon, told they would have to kill someone they loved, or they are being trained as an assassin for their family. Sci-Fi even works for this plot.
▰ Mafia {Free}Pairing: FXM If doubling, FXM, F/M or M/M
"Just try not to get shot…."
Okay don't got a cute summary like Runaway cause the Mafia thing falls under so many things. The general idea is that two crime families have to work together against a common threat, and to dodge the police and any other law enforcement we come up with. Be it we play the bosses kids or the bosses themselves…or even the assassins/hit mans from rivaling families.
Settings: This can be a modern, modern fantasy, or sci-fi…or even like Sherlock Holmes time period sort of thing.
▰ Welcome to the Pack {Taken}Pairing: FXM If doubling, FXM, F/M or M/M
"Trust me…You should just be happy you weren't killed…"
So, this idea is pretty obvious. it's a supernatural thing, though it can be a werewolf pack or a vampire coven. {Not the type that sparkle thank you…} Some poor, unfortunate soul was turn one night and ends up part of a pack or drawn into their makers coven. Who, plays what, we can talk about, because I can play either, be it the new, or the already established one heck even the maker. This has many other parts, like if they search for a cure, try to adjust to this new life as something no longer human and find that there are wars, and infighting among the race or other supernatural beings {beside the typical vap vs wolf, thing, there is plenty of other things we can pull out to fight against, but I have nothing against the classics.} Oh and finding a way to live with the human world all at the same time. The pre-established wolf/vampire can either be the new ones sort of mentor/person stuck teaching the new kid, or the one that changed them…really this idea we can discuss and build on.
I got a few other ideas but these are my top three, when I get more time I might post up the others if no one likes these. Though, you might be able to appeal to my inner Loki fan girl. I think this is where I'll wrap up this post for now. Thanks for reading!

Goal Accomplished!!!! - Stacia Naquin
Updated: 12/12/2013 - I finally did my pull up!!! It was a New Year's Resolution that took me ALL YEAR! But I did it.
The U.S.-led coalition says a NATO helicopter has crashed in eastern Afghanistan.
The International Security Assistance Force says all crew members have been recovered and no fatalities have been reported in Thursday's crash. It says the site of the crash has been secured, although the statement did not provide a location or other details.
Taliban spokesman Zabiullah Mujahid claims the helicopter was shot down by the group's fighters in the Tagab district of Kapisa province.
But U.S. Army Maj. Adam Wojack, an ISAF spokesman, says the cause of the crash is still being investigated and it's not yet known if there was enemy activity in the area at the time.
The Taliban spokesman also said in an email that all crew members were killed. The militants often exaggerate casualty figures.

Although China's Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT) earlier this week granted PC makers a reprieve from having to include the Green Dam-Youth Escort Internet filtering software with every PC sold in the country, the government today made it clear that it's only a matter of time before the mandate is reinstated.
Citing an anonymous MIIT official, the state-run China Daily newspaper reports that large domestic PC makers, including Lenovo Group, Tsinghua Tongfang, Founder Technology Group and Haier Group, will "install the filter as they were told." Some manufacturers have included a disclaimer with new PCs that the makers would not be responsible for damage caused by Green Dam, which has been criticized as insecure, flawed and intrusive.

Resistance is mounting to a controversial move by the Chinese government to require Internet filtering software be installed on every computer sold in the country starting next month. A letter sent by 19 tech and business groups, including the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and the Semiconductor Industry Association, to China's minister of Industry and Information Technology criticizes the plan and urges the Chinese government to "reconsider implementing the requirements," the Wall Street Journal reports.
Called Green Dam-Youth Escort, the software would be used to censor pornography say officials, but others fear it will also be used to block Web sites with political content, according to the New York Times.

Researchers in China have dug up the oldest known pottery. How ancient is it? The late Paleolithic: 14,000 to 21,000 years old, according to a study published today in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. The pieces were most likely made and used by early foragers in the Yangzi Basin in the Hunan Province.
Radiocarbon dating of nearby charcoal and bones has pinpointed one fragment to be about 18,000 years old. It and other findings provide "a much clearer understanding of the chronology of [the cave] and the age of the pottery found in this site, as compared to other… caves in East Asia," the authors report.
The new pieces prove to be older than pottery previously uncovered in China and Japan, but not nearly as old as early ceramic figures, such as the Czech Venus of Dolni Vestonice (25,000 to 29,000 years old).

It could be just another April Fool's joke, but just in case, security experts are warning Microsoft Windows users that the creators of the Conficker computer worm may launch a new campaign tomorrow to infect as many PCs as possible with their malicious software. This third generation of Conficker—the worm has been on the loose since November and has infected nearly 15 million computers—is expected to use new methods of spreading that security pros have yet to completely block.
The latest version of Conficker (which has various aliases, including Conficker.D, Conficker.C or Downadup.C) snuck onto computers already infected by one of its predecessors. According to Microsoft's Security Response Center Web page, this new version, which the company refers to as Conficker.D, does not spread by attacking new systems. Conficker.D does, however, have a new "peer-to-peer" updating capability that could enable infected systems to spread or receive instructions from those controlling the worm (it's creators remain at large) to steal info from infected computers or generate large amounts of spam e-mail that could clog the Internet and slow its performance, according to a Web posting by the Conficker Working Group (a team of computer security specialists formed by Microsoft, Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN), and various security software makers to keep the worm from spreading).

Was last year's devastating China earthquake, which killed 80,000 people and left more than 5 million homeless, really just a tragic natural event? Speculation is growing that the magnitude-7.9 quake may have actually been triggered by the tremendous water weight behind a nearby dam.
Scientists in China and the U.S. say that water behind the Zipingpu Dam, just 3.4 miles (5.5 kilometers) from the epicenter of the May 12 quake in Sichuan in southern China, may have weakened the fault that ruptured, the British Telegraph reports today.
It's "very likely" that the construction and filling of the reservoir in 2004 led to the quake, Fan Xiao, chief engineer of the Sichuan Geology and Mineral Bureau in Chengdu, told the newspaper.

One of the four people known to have received a partial face transplant has died, according to published reports.
Li Guoxing, 32, died in July at his home in southwestern China after taking herbal medicines instead of immune-suppressing drugs typically used to prevent recipients from rejecting donated tissue, his surgeon, Guo Shuzhong, told Agence-France Presse over the weekend. Li's death had been rumored for months on Chinese blogs, AFP notes.

The Food and Drug Administration has found trace amounts of the industrial poison melamine in baby formula and nutritional supplements sold in the U.S. The chemical is the same one that sickened at least 50,000 babies in China this year who drank contaminated formula.
"The levels that we are detecting are extremely low," Stephen Sundlof, director of the FDA's Center for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition, told the Associated Press, adding that parents should not stop giving their tots formula (though they may want to check with their pediatricians). "They should not be changing the diet. If they've been feeding a particular product, they should continue to feed that product. That's in the best interest of the baby."

Rivals Google, Microsoft and Yahoo! have joined forces with other companies and academics to stop governments (most notably China) from suppressing freedom of expression and ordering them to betray their customers' privacy. The three software giants today announced creation of the Global Network Initiative designed to persuade oppressive governments to allow their citizens to freely express opinions, via the Web in particular, without fear of retribution.

India is on its way to the moon, the country's first unmanned mission there ahead of a planned 2012 rover landing.
The Chandrayaan 1 probe blasted off atop a PSLV-C11 rocket at 6:22 local time this morning from Satish Dhawan Space Center in the southern Andrha Pradesh Province. The $79-million mission reflects an emerging, competitive Asian presence in space at a time when the U.S. shuttle fleet is nearing retirement.
"It is a historic moment," said G. Madhavan Nair, chairman of the Indian Space Research Organization, according to Bloomberg News. "Our journey to the moon has started."

China's Shenzhou 7 spacecraft is in Earth orbit, carrying a three–astronaut crew, one of whom is expected to make that country's first spacewalk this weekend.
The rocket took off from Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center in Ganzhou Province in Western China at 9:10 P.M. today (9:10 A.M. Eastern time), the country's third manned trip in the last five years. Its first manned mission was in 2003, and the second, two years later.
Although citizens of at least three-dozen nations have traveled into the cosmos on international missions, just three countries—the U.S., Russia and, in the last five years, China—have sent humans into space using their own spacecraft.

I am trying to get a copy of my grandmother's death certificate so that I can close an account that has both my mother and my grandmother named as owners.
This is turning into a bureaucratic nightmare.
It seems that having a birth certificate listing my mother as…well, my mother, and a death certificate listing my mother's mother as my grandmother does not suffice to establish that I am, indeed, my grandmother's granddaughter.
But, nooooo.
I have to send them a copy of my mother's birth certificate.
Which, of course, I don't have.
I have plenty of copies of her death certificate…
My paralegal passed me on to her local "investigative services" company. They listened to my tale of woe and said that, alas, it would be just as quick for me to order a copy of my mother's birth certificate.
In order to get a copy of my mother's birth certificate, I had to send a copy of my birth certificate. And submit a "Sworn Statement and notarized Certificate of Acknowledgement", which required a visit to the local bank to get it notarized. And pay more money. And wait more time. Oh, yes, and I couldn't upload the document…I had to fax it.
So, out of all this, some financial advice for all and sundry:
- If you're going to just pass your money on to your kids, put them as beneficiaries on all your financial instruments. Alas, there was a mixup in communications with my mom, and she thought we had put me on all her accounts as "pay on death", but it was only the accounts at one bank and none of the investment accounts. It was so nice to have the real estate in beneficiary deeds—all we had to do was record mom's death with the county, and her properties were automatically distributed as noted in the beneficiary deeds.
- Another option is to do a living trust, into which you write all your financial instruments. That way, you have dealt with all the paperwork, and your heirs will not need to do anything.
- If you have an account that has a co-owner who has died, get that person's name off the account pronto. Oh, it is so easy to let these things slide—after all, don't we all have plenty of time?
- If you have stocks and bonds that you have purchased in small amounts, and have those certificates, you can always put them into an investment account and name people as beneficiaries, rather than having the certificates sitting in a safe deposit box.
- Once again, if someone is named as a co-owner of your stocks or bonds and passes away, immediately remove their name(s). Once again, this would be easier if you had them in an investment account; that's what the investment people are paid to do.
- If you're going to be the executor of someone's estate, and you're going through various papers and see something, like, oh, say, a person's birth certificate, or an original death certificate, grab it and put it in your ever-so-vital "estate folder". Do not say to yourself, "Oh, there's mom's birth certificate! Wow!" and then put it right back where you found it. Which place you will not be able to remember, and, furthermore, which place may be many many many miles away from you when you need that document again.
All stuff I have learned this past six months. Sigh. Now all I have to do is wait for mom's birth certificate, at which point I can close that account, transfer it to the estate account, put the stocks and bonds into the estate account, and then divvy it all up. It's not like it's a whole helluva lot of money, but the fact that it was in bits and pieces made it more difficult.

Terry BellamyDirector Ask the Agency
November 30, 2010
Story at a Glance
"We continue to push to make DDOT more and more transparent and accountable to the residents of the District." — Gabe Klein, DDOT Director
Media Contacts
(Washington, DC) The District Department of Transportation (DDOT) today unveiled dTAP 2.0, an updated beta version of the department's Transportation Access Portal which provides the public with a wealth of performance data and project information in an easy to use online dashboard.
"We continue to push to make DDOT more and more transparent and accountable to the residents of the District," said DDOT Director Gabe Klein, "and this version of dTAP is a tremendous leap forward. We've made it more user-friendly and easier to navigate. We've also expanded it to include more than the details of our construction projects, adding other performance data and information that really opens a window into the agency."
By visiting dTAP, at dashboard.ddot.dc.gov, you can now review financial data, customer service scores, traffic safety statistics and a report on the overall condition of the District's roadways. There is also a link to the new DC Circulator Dashboard, and more features will be added in the near future.
DDOT has also made significant enhancements to the projects section of dTAP. Residents can click on their ward displayed on a District map to see a list of projects under design or construction. Prominent gauges indicate the percentage of project tasks that are on-time and on-budget, and visitors to the site can track how much of a project's budget has been spent to-date. Project documents are also easier to find and include the schedule of work from preliminary planning and design through the completion of construction. More than 50 projects are currently loaded into the dashboard.
"This is a platform we will continue to build on and we are pushing hard to add more data and documents, and to update them as often as possible," said Director Klein. "Eventually we envision this will not only be an external dashboard, but also a tool we use internally because we will be relying on the same information we supply to the public."
Want to connect with the Department of Transportation? In addition to dTAP, DDOT utilizes a number of tools to communicate with residents including email news alerts, Twitter, Facebook, and the department's official blog DDOT Dish. For more information please visit ddot.dc.gov/social.

Order is here they had -- big -- -- vanguard he oversees.
About nearly a good three quarters of a trillion dollars -- assets Bob it's always fantastic to see it.
Tell me about -- reaction that you're seeing in the bond market to what it is our -- is not happening in Washington right now.
Well I wish those two congressmen were involved in the negotiations unfortunately the guys at the top.
Seem like literally digging in their heels in the markets reacting to that you're having a flight equality.
And that treasury securities right now the ten year benchmark treasury is nearly at its three month low yield which is a typical.
Reaction one when the markets are worried about the economy if we drive all the fiscal cleft between now.
And the ended the year you could see GDP in the first quarter of 2013.
Drop -- very sharply.
Bob do you think it -- -- the yield on the ten year and the buying in treasuries can continue -- how low can attain your ago at this point.
While we week we certainly could go.
-- lower.
Really depends a lot on the rhetoric that is taking place in that.
And Washington.
You -- -- from my personal upper prospective deal on one -- -- Thought was even attempting to put -- -- branch out there to some degree was house speaker.
Mitch McConnell is dig in his heels of the Democrats in the senator -- in her heels and the president appears to be doing the same as well.
Now so we're gonna have to see what happens.
What is been their reaction in the corporate bond -- -- I know the spread between corporates and treasuries has gotten wider but is that just simply because the yield on the -- -- all in our -- seeing.
He's seen selling and corporates at all.
We've seen some selling at take place corporates are are linked to equities two -- some degree we all seen the trade off take place in inequities.
There's been several -- new issues which have come to the marketplace.
Over the last several days if you looked -- a couple weeks ago they were substantially oversubscribed that is not the the case right now.
What it's if you if you look at one place were her as the markets have benefit from all this it's been on Munis.
Ten year now long term triple -- Munis have reached all time record lows there's been a lot of demand take place.
Certainly all this discussion about tax increases.
As or gotten people though worried.
Also there's been -- dollar impact it is well there was a series of ballot measures.
That took place last Election Day and the ones that were passed were generally bomb marketed.
Friendly -- for example in California.
The -- income tax top rate was raised up to thirteen point 3% that's gonna help California's credit.
And it's also gonna increase demand for California tax exempt Muni bonds.
I'd bet that makes a lot of sense like you've increased demand don't converter -- Further borrowing rises so they did it borrow money more is -- but then they've got more revenue -- -- and hey Bob all of those groups treasuries corporates and Munis really quickly are any of them attractive to you as a bond manager here.
I would probably leaned toward Munis with corporate second -- -- all to believe this fiscal -- thing is gonna get fixed.
And has to.
If if congress continues to door roll around economies is gonna fall flatness face.
And the first half of 2013.
-- -- ultimately expect treasury yields have moved back up.

Saint Raphael Prayer
Blessed Saint Raphael, Archangel,
We beseech thee to help us in all our needs and trials of this life,
as thou, through the power of God, didst restore sight and give guidance to young Tobit.
We humbly seek thine aid and intercession,
that our souls may be healed,
our bodies protected from all ills,
and that through divine grace we may be made fit
to dwell in the eternal Glory of God in heaven. Amen.
St. Raphael Prayer for Healing
Glorious Archangel St. Raphael, great prince of the heavenly court, you are illustrious for your gifts of wisdom and grace. You are a guide of those who journey by land or sea or air, consoler of the afflicted, and refuge of sinners.
I beg you, assist me in all my needs and in all the sufferings of this life, as once you helped the young Tobias on his travels. Because you are the "medicine of God" I humbly pray you to heal the many infirmities of my soul and the ills that afflict my body. I especially ask of you the favor (here mention your special intention), and the great grace of purity to prepare me to be the temple of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
Prayer to Saint Raphael Before a Trip
Dear St. Raphael, your lovely name means "God heals." The Lord sent you to young Tobias to guide him throughout a long journey. Upon his return you taught him how to cure his father's blindness. How natural, therefore, for Christians to pray for your powerful help for safe travel and a happy return. This is what we ask for ourselves as well as for all who are far from home. Amen.
Prayer to Saint Raphael, Angel of Happy Meetings
O Raphael, lead us towards those we are waiting for, those who are
waiting for us! Raphael, Angel of Happy Meetings, lead us by the hand
towards those we are looking for! May all our movements, all their
movements, be guided by your Light and transfigured by your joy.
Angel guide of Tobias, lay the request we now address to you at the feet
of Him on whose unveiled Face you are privileged to gaze. Lonely and
tired, crushed by the separations and sorrows of earth, we feel the need
of calling to you and of pleading for the protection of your wings, so
that we may not be as strangers in the Province of Joy, all ignorant of
the concerns of our country.
Remember the weak, you who are strong--you whose home lies beyond the
region of thunder, in a land that is always peaceful, always serene, and
bright with the resplendent glory of God.
St Raphael Prayer: Patron of Travelers & Bearers Good News
St. Raphael, archangel, you protected young Tobiah as he journeyed to a distant land. Protect all travelers and most especially those who go about near and far preaching the Gospel. Guide and inspire modern apostles who use the communications media to bring the Good News of Christ to many souls. You also
brought healing and joy to all you met. Help those who bring the Word of God to souls, that they may be as instruments in God's Hands to draw many to lives of Christian holiness. We ask this through Christ, Our Lord. Amen.
Prayer to St. Raphael: For the Choice of a Good Spouse
St. Raphael, you were sent by God to guide young Tobiah in choosing a good and virtuous spouse. Please help me in this important choice which will affect my whole future. You not only directed Tobiah in finding a wife, but you also gave him guidelines which should be foremost in every Christian marriage: "Pray together before making important decisions." If through prayer we keep God as the "third Partner" in our marriage, we will have the strength and grace we need to always accept and do His will. Amen.
Pray 1 Our Father, 3 Hail Mary, 1 Glory be...
St. Raphael Prayer
St. Raphael, of the glorious seven who stand before the throne of Him Who lives and reigns. Angel of health, the Lord has filled your hand with balm from heaven to soothe or cure our pains. Heal or cure the victim of disease, and guide our steps when doubtful of our ways. Amen.
St. Raphael Prayer
You arrow of love and doctor of God's love, wound our hearts, we beseech you, with burning love and do not let the wound heal so that we stay on the path of love every day and so that we overcome everything with it! Amen.
St. Raphael Prayer
Dear Saint Raphael, your lovely name means "God heals." The Lord sent you to young Tobiah to guide him throughout a long journey. Upon his return you taught him how to cure his father's blindness. How natural, therefore, for Christians to pray for your powerful help for safe travel and a happy return. This is what we ask for ourselves as well as for all who are far from home.
Genie, thank you for the prayers to St. Raphael, I have never thought of him. I do say prayers to St. Michael. And, to the guardian angels.
I used to tell Pete that he had a whole squadron of angels watching over him and it comforts me to think they were with him when he was killed and carried him home.
Lauren their also there for us in our life ... so amazing God's plan... learning more and more of our faith and how rich it is --- Heavenly & Earthly treasure we accumalate through the blessing & graces bestow on us..
Lauren may our loving Blessed Mary & God continue to give you strength, blessing and graces ...

Irari Club Foundation Records (K0727)
Jewish Community Archives (JCA)
Founded in 1931 by ten men belonging to AZA as a club affiliated with
Jewish fraternities in the Greater Kansas City Jewish Community, the Irari Club
held its first regular meeting on April 22 (the first informal meeting having
been held on March 18) and immediately began cooperating with fraternities in
planning social and community events, the first being attending a dance hosted
by the Alpha Delta Lamba Fraternity in May. Towards the end of the decade, the
club began the tradition of holding New Years Eve parties at the Brookside Hotel
which continued well into the 1950s. Featuring long-standing members, including
President David Brockman, Treasurer Hy Vile (also editor of the club's humor
magazine, The Irari Hammer) and
Secretary Sidney Magazine, the Irari Club adhered to the tradition of holding
monthly meetings at the homes of respective members throughout the years,
reaching its 100th meeting on November 19, 1936 and its 500th
on November 25, 1957, whereby an elaborate sign-in book was designed for the
occasion. On May 6, 1981, the club celebrated its 50th anniversary in
a lavish dinner held at the Oakwood Country Club with the surviving original
members all in attendance.
Records include minutes,
correspondence, publications, financial records, and photographs and news
articles concerning the activities and members of the Foundation.
