I was out backpacking this weekend with Michael Skwarczek (also on this site) in the foothills of the San Gabriel Mountains. We're enjoying the rain, sitting and eating dinner in camp, trying to keep a very tiny fire going. Surprisingly, we see a headlamp coming out of the dark rain at ~10PM..."$hit, is that a ranger?" we're both thinking. Yes, our fire was technically illegal. I think us being in that part of the forest was illegal too (closure from the recent Station Fire...which has been out for months). But I do it all with a perfectly clean conscience: because I'm not doing anything wrong, no matter what any forest bureaucrat tells me.Turns out it was two other backpackers itching to get out in the rain as well.First thing they said:""We were thinking $hit, are those rangers?" when we you saw you."On a recent trail run in the mountains: turned back by an armed ranger for my own "safety". The area had recently burned and they have it closed, apparently, for my own good. Too much slide danger. Too many downed trees. Trail was destroyed he said. Thing is, I ran there two days before "illegally". It's the forest, same as ever, with some burnt trees and bare hillsides. WTF!?Finishing a dayhike with my wife, I'm literally carrying two half full 30 gallon trash bags full of junk from the trail. I get back to my car to find a forest service employee checking to see if I have my "Adventure Pass" on the car (a parking permit for using the forest)...I clean the trails, I paint over graffiti, I've volunteered on trail crews. And the folks getting paid to be "stewards" are there to give parking tickets.Why should one's first reaction be "$hit, a ranger."?Can I opt out of being protected from myself in the woods? Sign papers that I won't sue if I fall if the trail is in bad condition? This system is really a complete joke.Forest Closed - what a concept.
You have a conscience or you would not have that "feeling". Same as when you run that redlight and thought you saw a police car in the corner of your eye. Those guys simply have a job to do to enforce the laws/regulations for the safety of the general public. As my attorney hiking friend says, it won't be you suing, but your family if you were killed and a ranger/land management had not done their job.I've done it before too ; ).

Welcome to the 21st century. If you think how the rangers work is poor, you should see what bureaucrats and legislatures have done with out prison day... err schools.Really though, while many of the efforts of the government did start out as good ideas and their intent is proper, the legislation made are often by people that have no idea of whats going on and in practice things are dealt with in a way in which to cover a persons own ass than to try and solve a problem. If this results in creating a no risk society with no blame, well than they won.Government exists to protect us from each other. Where government has gone beyond its limits is in deciding to protect us from ourselves.Ronald Reagan
Sigh - I can't resist.We don't need permits in Australia, and we don't need permits in Europe either.Cheers
and your politicians make less money too.
Send us your politicians, Roger. We'll send you ours AND pay the freight both ways.PLEEEEEEEASE!

CraigWhile I'm NO fan of bureacratic baloney,Sometimes the land is closed to protect it from us.Give the land some space after a fire. Let it recover for a season. One or two transgressers may do little harm, but imagine if all of LA were up there right after a fire.The rules are not aimed at "the one" they are aimed at the many. You may think you are only one, but you are also part of the many.
It isnt a perfect system, but what would you put in its place? Instead of a government run park would you rather privatize the national parks and forests? Then they could charge more and develop more. If thats not profitable... just extract the resources and mow the forest down!
"and your politicians make less money too."From a different source, too.
"Sometimes the land is closed to protect it from us.Give the land some space after a fire. Let it recover for a season. One or two transgressers may do little harm, but imagine if all of LA were up there right after a fire."I've got to second Art's position here, Craig, albeit reluctantly given my deep seated mistrust of what our government has become. It is a case of trying to limit the erosion damage until new growth has begun to stabilize the soil again.
I'm with you... sort of.The "Adventure Pass" really irritates me. I don't mind paying to help support the National Forest recreational mission. My problem is the very premise of the fee only for Southern California. The original USFS web site explaining the pass had a statement something to the effect that the fee was needed because it wouldn't be fair for people from other parts of the country to subsidize the heavily used National Forests in Southern California. I did some research and found that approximately 10% of all federal income taxes are paid by Southern California residents. Our local NF's certainly don't get 10% of all forest recreation funding.These days I just happily pay for the annual parks pass that covers all National Parks and fee areas.

> Give the land some space after a fire. Let it recover for a season.Chuckle. Ever walked through a fire zone shortly afterwards? You get FILTHY!I understand the concept, but it doesn't happen in reality. People usually go 100 m and turn back.Cheers
> Instead of a government run park would you rather privatize the national parks and forests?Sorry, but I cannot see the relevance of this question. ALL our National Parks (in Oz) and all the ones in Europe are run by the State and Federal governments, but they don't charge for access and they don't require permits.It seems to get forgotten that 'the government' does not own the land: it is owned by the people. Or it should be.Cheers
Opinion, but I see America as being closer to a company with a military, than a government with a population. If we didn't use what little government we have to protect some lands, our companies would own everything and you wouldn't need a permit to go on lands. The land would be private.
I would love for someone to explain to me how my hiking in these recently burned zones has stifled recovery. Erosion? I was hiking and running on the same trails that have always been there, camping in designated spots that have remained untouched by fire. Come have a look sometime, I guarantee you'd be baffled too.A ranger I spoke to cited, and I quote, "downed trees and increased risk of rockslide" as the reason for closure of one major area.Oh no! Tree down, blocking the trail! Please protect me...for I could never just climb over.
What?!? What Europe are YOU hiking in, Roger? I just spent two years living on the outskirts of the Pfalzerwald, one of the bigger 'National Parks' in Germany, and it was essentially illegal to camp in it! You had to either:1. Belong to a trekking club, and use their leased-in-perpetuity gazeebo.2. Find one such gazeebo, correctly guess which local town had the trekking club it belonged to, call the burgermeister of that town to get the phone number of the club president, call him, PRAY he liked you and would grant you permission to camp at the gazeebo without charging you 100 Euro, etc.3. Camp in a town fairgrounds. A viable if not very esthetic option, as all of these parks contain towns and farm fields, and are crisscrossed by autobahns.4. Commando camp, and PRAY a forestmeister didn't find you, because he would cuss you out while speed-dialing the Polizei.5. Rent a space at a commercial campground- which is actually more expensive than getting a room in a gasthaus for the night, and which is designed for campers with caravans, not tents.It's like this is most "parks" in Germany. (Yes, scare quotes.) I generally got the impression that while many Germans like to walk, not so many like to HIKE, and a vanishingly small number like to CAMP (the way I use the word, at least).After all, they cram 85 million people into a country the size of Oregon. If any significant percentage of them were hikers the Alps would be absolutely overrun every weekend. Which, in some ways, it is anyway.Speaking of which- like all other nations bordering the Alps there are some decent areas in the mountains, though. Even then, in most places generally you HAVE to stay in a hut or other shelter- you can't pitch a tent unless the shelter is full. And even then you must pitch it near the shelter.Not, mind you, that some jaegerschnitzel and a decent hefeweizen aren't appreciated after the hike to the hut...What the German's call "National Parks", is more like what an American would call "National Forest." They are managed, and logged. I'll take the permits, personally. US parks have permits because we are unwilling to pave and build huts everywhere. :o)Unfortunately, we criminally underfund the NPS.But, of course, we have our Wildernesses, which IMHO are superior to the Parks.I will admit that the UK, however, has very enlightened right-of-way laws. Germany does, too, regarding walking over other people's property, but certainly NOT camping there. The Polizei show up QUICK, and accuse you of being gypsies and squatters. Most of Europe actually seems to be tolerant, for instance, of people walking on dirt access roads through a farmer's property- as long as you don't trample a field that's in crop.I am quite ignorant of Oz. But 20 million people with a whole continent to themselves sounds like Eden. Why do you ever leave, Roger? :o)

"Ever walked through a fire zone shortly afterwards? You get FILTHY!I understand the concept, but it doesn't happen in reality. People usually go 100 m and turn back."Yeah, I've walked through a few of them(but don't anymore since I became aware of the potential consequences) and yeah, you get a bit groaty from the knees on down(unless you're a total klutz, or brain dead). That doesn't invalidate the concept, as you point out, nor does it invalidate the need, at least in America, to warn people off to prevent erosion damage. Maybe folks here just aren't very fastidious. Whatever. But they will do it here, Roger. Trust me on this one. And the danger is very real.
Hi DeanI will plead ignorance of Germany. I was talking about France, Switzerland, Spain and the UK.The French have a ban on 'Camping' in many places, BUT - when they talk about 'camping' they mean 'car camping', for several days. Big tents, BBQs, campervans, etc. What we do is called 'bivouac', just for the night.The Swiss have a ban on some camping below 2,500 m - if anyone enforces it. But just ask and get the farmer's permission. We bivouaced and no-one cared.The Poms ... we just camped. We asked once, and the farmer told us where a good corner was.The Spaniards around the Pyrenees - I suspect they couldn't care less.> But 20 million people with a whole continent to themselves sounds like Eden.Hum ... it's a very OLD continent, mostly flat and VERY dry. I suspect we are going to find out fairly soon that our available fresh water won't feed many more than that. Our major rivers are already running dry. Of course, there's a lot of desert over most of the country, and a lot of bushfires too.Otherwise - yeah, we like it.Cheers
"It seems to get forgotten that 'the government' does not own the land: it is owned by the people." abso - friggen - lutely!anyhow... i have walked through land that was recently burned, infact, walked by downed trees that were still on fire. no problem. the problem, as usual, depends on the individual being irresponsible.i have been hiking in a fire ban in 3 days of straight hard rain. if individuals were responsible we wouldn't have to worry about such things. craig, i think i am with you on this topic. let me sign the same papers and be responsible in the forest for myself. BTW, i always pick up any trash i see on any trail no matter what.good luck

These awards celebrated the healthiest schools, organizations and individuals in Iowa.The Healthy Iowa Awards are presented by the Academy for a Healthy Iowa - a collaboration between the Iowa Department of Public Health, Governor's Council on Physical Fitness and Nutrition and Wellness Council of Iowa. Award winners are selected based on providing access to wellness, programming, financial commitment, measurability and sustainability. Winners retain the Healthy Iowa designation for three years at which point they must reapply.
2012 Award Recipients
2011 Award Recipients
The Washington County Board of Health is receiving the Excellence in Physical Activity Award for their diligent work to improve the physical activity environment in Washington County through policy and environmental change. The county is currently working to implement their community health plan through two task forces: the SAFE Solutions for Washington County Youth task force and the Obesity Prevention Task Force. The Obesity Prevention Task Force has been diligently working to improve the walkability of their community. This included working with three communities to implement the Iowans Walking and Logistics Kit (I-WALK). This process enabled communities to establish a local coalition to address issues surrounding children's ability to walk and bike to school. The first community to complete the I-WALK process, Kalona, utilized the information in their successful application for a Department of Transportation Safe Routes to School grant to improve the physical infrastructure of their community. The community also adopted elements of a Complete Streets policy to ensure pedestrian and bicycle issues are routinely addressed. In addition, the momentum from the Kalona project has been used to identify two additional communities that will address walkability this spring, Washington and Wellman. All of these projects are important components to implementing the Iowans Fit for Life plan, because they increase the number of healthy eating and physical activity opportunities by fostering supportive policies and environments.
The Dallas County Board of Health is receiving the Excellence in Nutrition Award for their diligent work to improve the nutrition environment in Dallas County through policy and environmental change. The county is currently working to provide more healthy vending options to county employees. Dallas County utilized the Nutrition Environment Measures Survey - Vending (NEMS- V) to assess vending machines located in county buildings. This included six vending machines including four beverage and two snack machines. The assessment showed that there were no yellow "healthier" or green "healthy" snack foods according the NEMS-V criteria. These buildings serve as the base for all county employees (~300 employees). In December of 2011, the board of supervisors passed a resolution stating that food and beverages sold in vending machines on Dallas County property will offer a minimum of 30% healthier choices as determined by NEMS-V. These projects are important components to implementing the Iowans Fit for Life plan, because they increase the number of healthy eating and physical activity opportunities by fostering supportive policies and environments.
The Cerro Gordo County Board of Health received the Excellence in Physical Activity Award for their work in worksite wellness programming, related policies, and environmental changes. Among their achievements, a worksite wellness program has been implemented for all county employees. It offers physical activity and nutrition programming, ergonomic assessments, health screenings and fitness testing. In addition, a room at the health department has been outfitted with exercise equipment for employee use.
Amy Liechti, worksite wellness specialist with Iowans Fit for Life highlighted some of the program's successes. "In just two short years, the Cerro Gordo County Health Department has shown itself to be a leader in the area of worksite wellness in Northern Iowa. With nearly 70 percent of county employees taking part, program coordinators are now seeing the dividend on this investment. Sixty-one percent of participants reported improvements in their nutrition habits and nearly 50 percent reported engaging in at least 30 minutes of physical activity on at least three days per week. This is encouraging and bodes well for the worksite wellness program, the Cerro Gordo County employees, and the community in general."
The addition of an onsite fitness room has been further enhanced by a supportive policy that allows employees more options to make use of the equipment, which ultimately can lead to happier, healthier employees. Furthermore, the health department has also implemented a flextime policy that allows employees the option of combining their break times with their lunch period to allow them to incorporate some physical activity into their daily routine. "Most importantly, they're sharing their lessons learned and smart practices with other employers in their community" Liechti added.
The Ringgold County Board of Health received the Excellence in Nutrition Award for improving the nutrition environment in Ringgold County schools. Focusing on policy development and environmental change, the board has worked with two school districts to increase the availability of healthier foods and beverages while restricting the availability of less healthy foods. Policies introduced by the board include serving only skim milk in school cafeterias, eliminating candy sales and requiring a minimum number of healthy options at sporting event concession stands, making it easier for students to take advantage of healthy breakfast options, and preventing the use of candy as an incentive for student performance.
"Ringgold County has not only changed their nutrition environment, they've also improved their financial picture," said Sarah Taylor Watts, physical activity coordinator with Iowans Fit for Life. "Skim milk has five fewer grams of fat per carton, but it also costs less. In addition, cafeteria and concession stand sales have increased dramatically now that students have more freedom at breakfast and healthier options during sporting events. In Mt. Ayr Community School alone, concession stand sales went up almost $6,000 last year."
School districts in Ringgold County are also increasing the amount of time available during the school day for physical activity. This includes daily physical activity promotion and nutrition education e-mail messages to school staff, students, and parents. The board has also helped implement a policy at a local high school to offer physical activity as an option during set periods of each school day.

Fortunately, there is only one sane answer:
DBI as the interface module
and DBD::Pg as the driver (there are drivers for most databases which makes it such a dream).

perldoc DBI
and look at the SYNOPSIS.
I think you mostly need:
$rv = $dbh->do($statement, \%attr, @bind_values);
(or perhaps prepare and execute, but do() will do for starters).
Hint - use bindvars, it will save infinite grief with quoting
perldoc DBD::Pg will give you the magic for setting up a Postgresql DSN.
Another hint: setting RaiseError is a good idea - anything goes wrong and it will blow up your code, even without explicit error checks, which is usually a GOOD THING (TM) unless you really want to handle failures nicely.

Maybe CPAN should take dependencies into account when sorting its search results, sort of like how Google takes links into account. That way, for situations such as this one where you have a very popular base module that many others use, the base module would be listed first.

I have noticed the odd attempt to OO-ify DB access, but I've not really seen the point (and I like OO sometimes).
Just my 2p's worth :)
I was referring to some Class:: modules, and whilst not wanting to offend the authors of these other probably very worthy modules, well, for me, I find all I need in DBI and have never thought it needed anything layered or added.
I'll go to bed now :)
If you're focused on the database query and know SQL well, then an additional OO layer on top of that can be a hindrance.
On the other hand, if your focus is on other parts of the application, and all you want from the database is an object persistence layer, then the OO layers are a big help.
Of course, the focus can and does vary from script to script, so there's room for both approaches.

I'm somewhat taken with the idea of Election Day Communion, being practiced by a diverse range of church groups and Christians across the United States on election day, Tuesday 6 November 2012.
"To go into the voting booth and vote for either Wall-Street-backed candidate, that is the definition of throwing away your vote." So claims Jill Stein, the US Green Party's candidate for the presidential election on 6 November 2012.
During our Quaker Meeting for Worship this morning, a Friend asked that we hold in the Light the people of the United States as they choose their next president.
US presidential candidates Barack Obama and Mitt Romney tackled some important issues - including jobs, immigration, energy, and pay equity for women - in their recent TV debate. But they missed a whole lot more, says the progressive evangelical 'Sojourners' magazine and movement.

Despite being immersed in the world of superheroes and larger-than-life characters, director Christopher Nolan always likes to inject a good amount of grounded reality into his "Batman" films. It's one reason why you have a Batmobile that not only works, but also appears as something a military tech firm might actually build. And then there's Batman's suit, which is a much more versatile and wieldy piece of armor compared to earlier versions.
But when it comes to Batman's cape — which can transform into a glider when an electric charge is applied — some physics students from the University of Leicester argue that the Dark Knight needs to make some improvements — or face going "Splat!" on the pavement.
In a new paper titled "Trajectory of a Falling Bat," the students argue that to achieve a safe landing, Batman is going to need a bigger cape.
"We found he could fly quite well and he can actually fly pretty far," one of paper's authors David Marshall told the BBC. "He can get about twice as far as he does fall, but once he gets there, he is traveling about 50 mph and that's a bit too fast to land safely."
He added: "He would likely end up getting a bit splattered."
The students recommend that Bruce Wayne make some modifications to better increase his chances of survival, including extending the wingspan of the cape and/or adding a parachute option. There's also a more conspicuous option: "If he preferred to keep his style intact he could opt for using active propulsion, such as jets to keep himself aloft," said Marshall.
Perhaps Iron Man could lend a hand?

Real Or Fake Christmas Tree?
Are you a real Christmas tree person or an artificial tree user? We always went with real until last year. Both have their own positives and negatives. We went to a fake tree more or less so we could put it up earlier and the cost saving over time. Another upside, there is virtually nothing to vacuum with a fake tree. The down side to fake is use you have to put away nicely and is a bit of work to put together. Another downside, there is no smell.

Craner Curves, the famous corner at Donington Park is known as the corner that helped create a legend. Superbike champion Jonathan Rea talks about how it helped kickstart his career as a rider back in 2003.
The video, presented by Eurosport commentator Jack Burnicle, is part of a series celebrating famous corners in Superbike racing and gets the low-down from some of the riders who have made their careers at Donington.
As the track approaches its 80th birthday, in this video Superbike FIM World Championship rider Rea takes a moment to look back at his earliest memory of the track:
"I rode my first motorcycle here at Donington, a CB500 that everyone has in middle school, back in 2002 and my first ever competitive test was here as well."

iPhone 6 lesson: The next big thing in hardware will have to wait
Samsung vs. Apple vs. Nokia, HTC and Motorola. Who cares? All the hardware looks alike. The smartphone battle is won with ecosystems, cloud and sheer marketing.
Samsung vs. Apple vs. Nokia, HTC and Motorola. Who cares? All the hardware looks alike. The smartphone battle is won with ecosystems, cloud and sheer marketing.
As people were licking their lips over the impending launch of the Moto E, Microsoft has attempted to blindside Motorola by introducing the Nokia Lumia 630 at the same time. Game on!
In many respects, the Microsoft-Nokia deal rhymes with Google's Motorola purchase. The difference: Nokia controlled so much Windows Phone distribution that Microsoft had to buy it.
Google's Motorola will build its new flagship in a US facility that once pumped out Nokia phones.
When Marty Cooper called his rival 40-years ago, he knew he had something good, but no clue aout how good. Here's the good, the bad and the ugly models in cell phone history.
Yesterday Nokia and Motorola created a stir with new smartphone announcements. Nokia showed off its latest Lumia phones and Motorola the latest in the Droid family of Android smartphones. They may have gotten you excited but you can't buy any of them yet.
Both Nokia and Motorola promise great things in their respective press events being held today. We will probably hear about Windows Phone and Intel phones today. Follow them live.
Apple's SIM design would result in handsets costing more to manufacture.
Samsung now sells more mobile phones than any other company, having overtaken former market leader Nokia.The shift, noted by analyst firm Strategy Analytics, marks the first time Nokia has lost the top spot since it overtook then-leader Motorola in 1998, according to a BBC report.
There's a minor battle going on between Apple and much of the mobile phone manufacturing industry to agree a new standard for a smaller SIM identity cards for mobile phones. Motorola Mobility, RIM and Nokia claim they have a superior proposal for the so-called 4FF (fourth form factor) "nano SIM" design.
Google may have been giving preferential treatment to Motorola for some time, according to documents that have emerged from the Google-Oracle case.That case is largely concerned with Android's use of Java, but a document made public late on Tuesday by Judge Alsup relates to Google's internal plans for benefiting from Android, an open-source mobile operating system that is free to license.
In the wake of Google's bid for Motorola, some analysts are arguing that Microsoft should snap up Nokia. But why would they want to do that?
Speaking to business leaders in Helsinki, Nokia CEO Stephen Elop sees 'trouble ahead' for Android operators in a post Motorola-Google world.
Google has bought Motorola, in a move nobody saw coming. Here's what the search giant is getting, whether it likes it or not
Google has purchased Motorola to help it defend Android from existing and future patent litigation but will continue to run it as a separate business
It's inevitable that the Google-Motorola deal will shake up the Android ecosystem. It might even drive one of its top vendors into Microsoft's waiting arms.
Does Google's acquisition of Motorola mean it's finally time for Microsoft to buy Nokia or RIM? I still don't see the potential gains from a handset-maker purchase offsetting the losses.
With Google buying Motorola we are seeing more and more that the consolidated smartphone OS and hardware solution may be the way to success. What will Microsoft do with Nokia? Will HTC and Samsung still make Android devices? There are many questions raised by today's deal.
Chief executive Sanjay Jha has said that if Motorola can get the same treatment as Nokia, it will consider using Windows 8 on its tablets, which are currently based on Android
The UK facility will account for one tenth of NSN's global job cuts, which the networking equipment company blames on delays in closing its takeover of Motorola's networking business

Heartwarming: Hercules: The Legendary Journeys
- "Redemption," after Dahak is defeated:
Iolaus: You never gave up on me.
Hercules: What do you expect? You're the best friend I ever had.
Iolaus: Oh, but I betrayed you, Hercules. I betrayed you and everyone else that had faith in me. I just hope you can find it somewhere in your heart to forgive me.
Hercules: I already have.
- After the first of the flashbacks showing how Dahak tempted Iolaus.
Hercules: You sold him a lie.
Dahak: I didn't have to sell him anything. The seeds of doubt were already in his own heart.
Hercules: Iolaus was a hero in his own right.
Dahak: That's what you tell yourself to placate your guilt, but you know the truth, don't you? You used him merely as a traveling companion on the road to your destiny.
(Hercules starts laughing)
Dahak: What's so funny?
Hercules: You obviously don't know Iolaus very well. You're too selfish to understand. Whenever I lost sight of what we were fighting for, Iolaus reminded me through his own courage and strength. I don't know what his life would've been like without me, but I can't imagine my life without him.
- After the first of the flashbacks showing how Dahak tempted Iolaus.
- "Fade Out," as Hercules may vanish forever, he says this to Iolaus 2:
"Before we met, you saw yourself as a jester, so that's what you were. I saw you as a hero who didn't know it yet. Once you saw yourself that way, too; well, that's what you became. We are who we perceive ourselves to be."
- "Top God," just before leaving for Mount Olympus and full godhood, Hercules bids farewell to Iolaus and Jason - calling the former "my brother."
- And in "Reunions", after Hercules comes back from his godhood and finds Iolaus again:
Iolaus: So, what happened?
Hercules: I realized how much my family means to me. And... you're it.
(Iolaus turns away so Hercules doesn't see him cry)
- And in "Reunions", after Hercules comes back from his godhood and finds Iolaus again:
- In "Darkness Rising," Hercules finds most of the Druids dead and young Mabon barely clinging to life.
Mabon: It hurts, Hercules. Please Don't Leave Me. I'm afraid.
Hercules: (cradling him) I'm right here. I won't leave you.
- In "Centaur Mentor Journey," Hercules' You Are Not Alone moment with Theseus.
Hercules: I'm sorry you have to go through this. It's never easy letting someone you love go.
Theseus: What do you know about it?
Hercules: More than I ever wanted to.
Theseus: Cassius used to be my friend, but now Ceridian's the only one I have left.
Hercules: No, I'm your friend, too. I know what youre feeling. Ceridian was always there when I needed him.
Theseus: But when hes dead?
Hercules: He'll still be there. You'll see. Just be grateful for this time youve had with him and know that he's going to a better place.
Theseus: Do the Elysian Fields really exist?
Hercules: I've been there.
- After Iolaus' death, a distraught Hercules states that Iolaus was his hero.
- In the final episode, Ares' demi-god son Evander is mortally wounded. Horrified, Hera and Zeus rush to save their grandson, and heal him by combining their powers. The experience causes the two to realize they still love each other, and Hera even thanks Hercules for his help in all this.

|The History of Turkish Jews
|Written by © Naim A. GÜLERYÜZ
Page 5 of 7
Turkish Jews Today
The present size of Jewish Community is estimated at around 25.000. The vast majority live in Istanbul, with a community of about 2.500 in Izmir and other smaller groups located in Adana, Ankara, Antakya, Bursa, Canakkale, Kirklareli etc. Sephardim make up 96% of the Community, with Ashkenazim accounting for the rest. There are about 100 Karaites, an independent group who does not accept the authority of the Chief Rabbi.
Turkish Jews are legally represented, as they have been for many centuries, by the Hahambasi, the Chief Rabbi. He is assisted by a religious Council made up of five Hahamim. Fifty Lay Counsellors look after the secular affairs of the Community and an Executive Committee of fourteen runs the daily matters. Representatives of Jewish foundations and institutions meet four times a year as a so-called ??think tank?? to exchange opinions on different subjects concerning the Turkish Jewry.
Synagogues are classified as religious foundations (Vakifs). There are 18 synagogues in use in Istanbul today. Three are in service in holiday resorts, during summer only. Some of them are very old, especially Ahrida Synagogue in the Balat area, which dates from middle15th century. The 15th and 16th century Haskoy and Kuzguncuk cemeteries in Istanbul are still in use today.
The Museum of Turkish Jews (Türk Musevileri Müzesi), the first such Museum in Turkey, has been inaugurated on November 25, 2001. (Details at the end of this article).

Senior Hilltoppers have been busy this week practicing their hat toss.
Two hundred and fifty-three Los Alamos High School students are scheduled to receive their diploma at 9 a.m. Saturday in Griffith Gym, to mark the end of their high school careers.
"The minute I get my diploma my heart will be completely full – I'm going to be jumping up and down," LAHS senior Craig Girrens said. "It took a little while to sink in, but I'm trying to make the best out of every moment."
Girrens said that although his family, the local community, and his friends have all supported him the past four years, he is glad to finally leave "the shell of Los Alamos" and venture out on his own.
"They tell you now you're completely independent, it's up to you to apply what you've learned from your parents and the community that you've been raised in," he said. "You take all that in and you try to make it on your own. I feel pretty prepared going out and I can't wait."
Currently, Girrens is spending most of his time with his friends and family, making the most of his time before he departs to Colorado State University to continue his education.

How to Stretch the Office Stress Away.
Note: elephantjournal.com received this Yoga for Computer Users by Sandy Blaine and The Complete Guide to Yin Yoga by Bernie Clark for free, in return for a guarantee that we would review said offering. That said, we say what we want—good and bad, happy and sad.
You've just clicked on this article or tapped on your smartphone screen.
How many times will your wrist perform this brief movement today? Now check your posture. Take a quick body scan. Slouching, hunching, rounding? Mmm.
No blame game here; we're all guilty in one way or another.
Overplaying my hands
At the end of the day, however, this combination of repetitive movement, tension and poor posture can result in something really painful called RSI or "repetitive strain injury." I know how awful it feels. I've been there. Two years ago when I still had an office job, I had to be off work for six weeks because of RSI. The first few days, I was in so much pain that I could barely do anything. Imagine a life where using your hands for insignificant tasks feels like a small torture. In a less intense way the pain was a bit like when Bond villains send electrical current through our glamorous hero's body.
I couldn't chop vegetables, beat eggs, slice bread, sew a button, cut a bit of paper, read a book—holding and turning pages was hurting—and typing on a keyboard was the last gesture my hands wanted to perform. After a few months, with the skilful help of an osteopath, whose brother was a pianist who had suffered from RSI, I recovered and managed to function again. Since then, on a day when I type too energetically, knit too much, cook too enthusiastically or stay on all fours a lot in a yoga sequence, my wrists remember the pain. I'm sharing this story as a cautionary tale, for what it's worth: these things always seem to happen to others until it's your turn. There's no harm however in taking some precaution, and making an effort to maintain a healthy and happy upper body.
Not a lot has been written on yoga and RSI prevention. I found two very useful books offering a series of yoga postures and sequences that can help office workers to stretch the office stress away.
Take yoga breaks
Sandy Blaine, the author of Yoga for Computer Users, has been the in-house yoga teacher for Pixar Animation Studios since 1994, taking care of the hands, wrists, shoulders and necks of the some of the most creative minds in the world.
This means that over the years she has developed a series of small sequences that help to relieve tension from the upper body and lower back. She shares her expertise in her book which is one to keep handy close to your keyboard.
Sandy Blaine reminds us that
"…the human body evolved to hunt and gather, to run and jump and climb, to play hard and rest fully, not to sit in front of a computer all day."
Our bodies are not designed for a sedentary lifestyle that takes us from bed, to breakfast to car, to office chair to car, and then from car to sofa and to bed again. She explains that computer-related work takes its toll in many ways: back issues, RSI and the whole general stress that working in an office environment entails.
We also know that these days work doesn't stop when we leave our desk; it follows us everywhere in a portable format; in a laptop or smartphone incarnation. In other words, these devices give us an infinity of opportunities for poor posture and repetitive muscle use.
In her book, Sandy Blaine shares a yoga program that can be used to prevent RSI and ease minor symptoms and tensions. She believes that
"Yoga is an antidote to the stagnation of energy that occurs in your body as you sit at your computer. In addition to the essential musculoskeletal benefits, yoga also offers a unique stress management system, alternating between physical exertion and deep relaxation, which trains the nervous system to turn off the stress response."
She invites the reader to incorporate yoga in their workplace by taking self-scheduled yoga breaks. Her program consists of a series of postures done using a chair, walls or the floor and includes stretches for shoulders,wrists and neck as well as supported backbends, forward ends and twists. Because doing yoga at work might pose some challenge, she gives computer users practical advice on the best way to make room and time for those breaks.
In part three, she takes yoga away from the office and guides us through a few counter poses to our computer-centered lifestyle. Office yogis will find some nice restorative poses—simple inversions and hip openers—to help them unwind after a day at work.
Sandy Blaine goes into a lot of details when it comes to describing poses and pairing them with the area they are focusing on. Yoga for Computer Users is a great resource not only for people who spend a lot of time in front of a screen, but also for yoga teachers who want to tailor their sequences to the needs of the growing number of students with upper body complaints.
The Yin side of things
My new motto is "it don't mean a thing if you ain't got that Yin" (doo wa doo wa). One of the first things I've learned from reading Bernie Clark's Complete Guide to Yin Yoga is that my yoga practice is not complete if it doesn't count on the yin side of things.
"If you have been doing yoga for a while now, you might be experiencing only half of the practice and just some benefits that are available to you. Yin Yoga is the other half."
In his guide to Yin Yoga, Bernie Clark shows that Yin yoga doesn't stop at the navel and that the Yin principles can be applied to the upper body. This is great news for those of us who suffer from neck, wrist, and shoulder strain.
"Repetitive, yang-like movements of the hand can damage these yin-like tissues, creating problems with names such as 'carpal tunnel syndrome'. Yin-like exercises will help thicken and strengthen these tissues, if done properly."
However he adds that:
"Yin Yoga exercise is not designed as a yoga therapy, but rather as an aid to make your healthy tissues healthier. If you are currently experiencing pain, your health care provider may recommend that you rest the area until you are pain free, and then begin movement exercises."
In his section"Yin Yoga Poses for the Upper Body," the author guides us through a extensive series of poses to work on neck, shoulders and wrists. He warns us that:
"We carry a lot of stress in the neck and shoulder area, especially when we spend great swaths of time typing or working with our hands. Tight neck and shoulder muscles can lead to headaches and shallow breathing. Chronically tight necks can lead to shortened ligaments and a very restricted range of motion."
To counteract the tightness creeping up our neck, he teaches us to work it in six directions.
Another great piece of news is that all these Yin poses for the upper body can be held while sitting in a hip opener such as Shoelace, Square, Straddle, Toe Squat, or crossed legged. If you are pressed for time it means that you can practice targeting two areas of your body in one sitting.
Since reading Bernie Clark's book, I've befriended a new Yin yoga posture called the Seagull. My husband calls it the Chicken, and I can see why. It gives my overworked wrist tendons so much release, however, that I might start walking around the house like this, no matter how silly it looks.
Click for a stretch
My Yoga Online has created a whole series of short videos meant for practice at the office called Workplace Wellness. This is definitely something easy to integrate during your lunch break. As you will see they offer a wide range of styles, specific focus, and techniques to release tensions at your desk.
If you still don't find time for any of that today, just give yourself a good hug. Your upper body will appreciate the love.

Our mission is to provide you a working knowledge about noise. To help you find out the best way to reduce you noise problems, without having to become an acoustical engineer. We want you to know what you are doing when you build or buy noise reduction solutions. We will discuss several ways to do each task: some inexpensive and some expensive. We try to arm you with as much soundproofing information as possible. We are giving you honest, accurate, simply worded, accurate information.
What is Sound?
Sometimes we take the simplest things for granted. Sound is all around us, yet most of us have no idea what sound really is. This tutorial explores the physics of sound with animations, schematics and common examples. This is a great science primer for students or anyone else that is interested in the science around them. Read More
Understanding STC
Perhaps the most common sound isolation term is STC. What is Sound Transmission Class and what does it mean for your soundproofing project? The answers in this article may surprise you. When discussing the reduction of sound vibration as it travels from one side of a wall to the other, we need to quantify and measure this loss. Many soundproofing products that have a high STC perform terribly. Read More
The Significance of Air Cavity Depth & the Triple Leaf Effect
One of the more common problems we are called in to fix is a botched soundproofing job. Often a less educated solution involves installing soundproofing products incorrectly, resulting in a small trapped air cavity. How can this small airspace create such sound isolation problems? Actually make the soundproofing worse? Air cavities must be carefully considered when building a sound isolated environment. An air cavity can help you enormously or make noise matters worse. Read More
The Dead Vent
If you have a dedicated room to control sound, you will inevitably have sealed it up tighter than a drum. This is great to avoid flanking noise and sound leaks, but not so great for cool, fresh air exchange. Ventilation can be a huge hole for sound to travel through. You can soundproof your ventilation with the help of a Dead Vent. These can be built with standard building materials with very good soundproofing results. Read More
Building a Staggered Stud Wall
A staggered stud wall is an effective way to decouple and sound isolate your walls. If you have an existing 2×4 wall, this article explains how to convert a poor performing wall into a soundproof wall. Learn exactly how to build a staggered stud soundproof wall, complete with diagrams of each step. Use simple building materials to modify the wall you already have. Read More
Building a Room Within a Room
Casual noise can be reduced to a very tolerable level by simply "beefing up" existing walls, floors and ceilings. However, if you want to achieve significant soundproofing, then a dedicated construction plan is in order. The room within a room is the most sound isolated system you can build. Find out the details of building a first rate soundproof room here. Read More
Furring Channel with Resilient Sound Clips
For high level soundproofing you need to deploy some method to decouple the framing from the drywall. A very common and effective soundproofing solution is to use resilient sound isolation clips and drywall furring channel. Find out the soundproofing details before you buy the wrong product. You won't want your soundproof ceiling to become your floor. Read More
Flanking and Indirect Sound Leaks
Build a big wall between you and your neighbor. You can still hear neighbor's noise? How can that be? How does sound sneak around a brand new soundproof wall? We call this phenomenon Flanking Noise. Sound entered the floor and snuck under your new wall. Or noise enters the ceiling and scoots over your new soundproof wall. Flanking is a major problem that you need to be aware of. Learn what you're up against with flanking and how to deal with it. Read More
4 Elements of Soundproofing
How exactly do you build a soundproof room? Start with a basic understanding soundproofing construction. If you understand the basics, you'll have a more educated eye to view your problem room. This article explains step-by-step the various elements of soundproof room construction. Read More
Soundproof a Room Basics
You can soundproof a room very well at a reasonable cost if you follow some basic, tried and true methodology. #1 Decouple The Framing This can be done with staggered stud or double stud walls. To decouple the ceiling, consider … Read More

Your Favorite Horsey Object and Why
My favorite horsey object is a first place ribbon that I won at a little tiny casual show. It's my favorite because it's part of what convinced my parents to buy Jerry for me.
What are yours?
My bracelet, made with tail hair from my deceased heart horse. I wear it almost constantly.
Here's a picture of my bracelet. Yes, this is my actual bracelet.
Solenaro Designs put a picture of it on their website as a representation of the Industrialized Bangle style, because they were so pleased with the combinations that I chose, and how the bracelet turned out.
Solenaro Designs custom made horse hair equestrian jewelry Industrialized Bangle in Vermeil
I had silver braid added in with the horse hair, which contrasts beautifully with the golden color of the bracelet itself.
My stuffed animal horsey, Dreamer. And yes..I do still sleep with a least one stuffed animal. lol
SpeedRacer: I love your bracelet!
I don't have a specific horsey object that is a particular favorite, but I do have a proclivity toward horse chestnuts. . . . weird, but I LOVE the smell of them for some reason. . . I stick them in my shirt pocket after I pick them off my horses' legs, lol!
that bracelet is gorgeous!
Mine is a blanket that was started when Drummer was born and given to me by his old owners. It has cloth photos of him and his sire and is really special to me. :)

Martyred soldier's last rites performed with full honours
The last rites of martyred soldier Rahul Kumar of 23 Grenadiers Battalion was performed today in his native village of Bulandhshahr in Uttar Pradesh. His mortal remains were brought back to Bulandhshahr this morning.
Rahul Kumar sustained critical bullet injuries after a militant group attacked a patrol party along the Line of Control (LoC) in Keran sector of Jammu and Kashmir's Kupwara district on Saturday night. He succumbed to his injuries the next morning.
His father Jaikaran Singh told ANI, "I raised my son and made him work in the Army and for the nation. He martyred himself for the nation but our government doesn't have a good policy because they are neither given orders nor good weapons."
"As for me, I have another son and I am ready to martyr him and martyr myself as well. I will always be ready to pay my services," the bereaved father added.
Kumar's family members and scores of local residents had lined up in the village to pay their respects to the martyr.
