Natasha's House Hunting Adventures
I am a real estate agent in Calgary, Alberta. I am trying to develop a new concept in how people shop for their new home. The idea is to make it fun!
I have purchased an older used Rolls Royce limousine and fixed it up to take my clients in when we are out to view homes. The plan is to equip it in such a way that we will be able to take families with children of any age along for their "house hunting adventure", and have fun along the way with an "adventure package" that is designed specifically for children of any age, teens and even adults. The packages will include treasure maps, silk screen shirts and even shirts with a house hunting adventures logo embroidered on it. We want to make the house buying experience exciting and fun, but still with a touch of class.
I love to give to charities in a small way when I am able to. You can get a better understanding about me by reading my web page at http://www.luv2giv.ca
My real estate website can be found at http://www.househuntingadventures.com
Please do not use either site as a guide to your designs. We are looking for something new, exciting and creative, so have fun with your ideas. The design has to tell the story of what we do, that it is a real estate business, but without saying real estate....
General public of all levels of income. Specific target is those families looking to purchase a new home of any level. We want to be classy but fun and approachable all at the same time. When someone looks at the Rolls it should tell them exactly what it is about without having "real estate" written all over it.
- We need a logo design and business branding - including letterhead, pamphlet design, advertising etc.
- Most importantly we need a design that we can use on the Rolls limo. We want it to be fun, yet classy. We have had two designs done for us, and we were not satisfied because it just didn't give us that fun and classy appeal we were looking for. It needs to grab attention and give us an edge over other realty organizations. We want people to use our services because it is fun to go house shopping with us.
Car Wrap Requirements - The artwork needs to be saved as an eps file, we would want it to be around 100 dpi at full print size, so the designer is going to have to get some accurate measurements of the working areas of the car and develop the artwork at 300dpi @ 33.33%... If they do computer vector illustration size won't matter... if they are doing actual artwork it needs to be scanned with a minimum result of 100dpi at full size.
We have considered various themes trying to get the "adventure" theme feel we are after. Treasure maps, etc?
We want the limo graphics to give an instant impression of what the car is about without it just being another real estate business. Limo is black in color. The wrap needs to extend along both sides of the car (both sides can use the same image) but then also wrap around the back and even over the trunk. It can even go over the rear passenger door windows to and use the back panel behind the rear doors if needed. We want to keep the front doors and front of the vehicle clean and classic.

Group rekeying with a customer perspective
ICPADS 2004, 10th International Conference on Parallel and Distributed Systems, July 7-9, 2004, Newport, USA
In secure multi-party communications, several solutions have been proposed to deal with group rekeying. However, most of existing solutions including the most efficient ones still are severely lacking with respect to reliability and real customer expectations. Since in these solutions, each rekeying operation requires the update of the keying material of all members alike, frequent rekeying caused by volatile members would strongly affect long-lived members.We thus propose to restructure the Logical Key Hierarchy (LKH) scheme, by separately regrouping members based on their membership duration aiming at preserving members with long duration membership from the impact of rekeying operations caused by arrivals or departures of short-lived members. We designed a hybrid reliability scheme based on a combination of ARQ and FEC that assures a quasi certain delivery of keying material to long-lived members. We then come up with an extensive method to determine the system parameters applicable to each member set based on the target customer satisfaction criteria.

9.6% Green
Mildly surprising that the Conservatives gain slightly, because last week wasn't a stellar one for the government. NDP down, Liberals unchanged, mostly just moving around within the margin of error. Of note, the Conservatives score a relatively high 18% in Quebec, more evidence that they're up slightly from the previous abysmal trend.
We can debate whether or not the economy has truly turned the corner, but really it's the voter psychology that's important. This EKOS poll puts confidence in the government at its highest since they began their weekly sample. We also see the lowest score for the government on the "wrong direction" percentage. Although it's minor changes, I would suggest this measure is one to watch, a very important indicator for the government:
Right direction 49%
Wrong direction 39%
To put that finding into context, a month ago the numbers were evenly split, slight edge on the "wrong" side. What might be even more telling, even in the economically ravaged province of Ontario, the Conservatives have a 50% right direction, 40% wrong direction. With a very volatile electorate, those numbers may prove quite important moving forward.
The Conservatives still lag behind overall views on direction of the economy, but that gap is narrowing. With the Liberals stalled, their numbers virtually identical week to week, the Conservatives seem to be capitalizing on higher confidence and a sense that things will improve. That is an entirely new dynamic, that wasn't present throughout the last session of Parliament, and it's one the Liberals should adapt to quickly.
When you've witnessed mind boggling negativity in the economy, it's only natural that any relative pause or the most miniscule of signs are seized on. I think we have a natural inclination to want to believe things will improve, once the numbers fail to keep us sober and negative, there's more room for optimism. I would suggest that is where we are now, uneven indicators will be enough to keep that sense alive and it will probably only improve. With that in mind- the numbers starting to support this thesis- the government can now move from raw knuckles damage control to projecting a "over the hump" argument, their stewardship no longer a liability, but a testament to ably seeing us through a economic downturn, not of our making. The question then becomes- what is the attractive counter argument for the Liberals to move the numbers back in their favor?

How To Clone Your Herbs
Just last week a friend and I visited a large greenhouse to stock up on last-minute herbs for the growing season. As we walked the aisles, I felt more than a little guilty, if not mischievous, about the number of times I whispered to put a plant back since I already had it and would happily give her a cutting. When you're stocking a garden for the growing season, every $3 and $4 savings really adds up quickly!
Plants such as basil, mint, and oregano are incredibly easy to reproduce from cuttings — and a heck of a lot faster than growing from seed. So easy in fact, that it is practically criminal how quickly you can stock your entire garden from one small plant. I save time and money every season multiplying my basil crop in this way.
What You Need
Your choice of herbs
Small cup or jar
Pot or planter
Soil and compost
1. Allow new plants to grow for a few weeks to a month. When they've doubled in size, cut a few stems about 4 or 5 inches long just above or below a node (the juncture on the stem where leaves are attached).
2. Pluck off one or two sets of leaves, and remove any flower or buds that have formed. The goal here is to keep the plant focused on growing roots and leaves; flowers (a different form of reproduction) are a big energy drain.
3. Stick the stems in a small cup or jar of water and place in a sunny but protected spot. Add more water as it evaporates; at least one node should always be submerged in water since this is where the roots will form.
That's it. You should see roots in less than a week. Once healthy roots have formed, pot up or plant the new plants in-ground and you're done. You can add a little vermicompost to the hole if you want and of course water them in well to get things going.
Additional Notes: Plants with woodier stems, including rosemary, scented geraniums (aka pelargoniums), and lemon verbena tend to have a little trouble producing roots in water, but will work just as easily in a soil-like medium. Follow the directions for growing in water, but push the cutting into a small plastic pot or tray filled with well-draining potting soil, coir, or a mix of 1 part vermiculite and 1 part perlite.
Keep the soil moist, but not sopping wet. I have had especially good luck allowing geranium cuttings to scab over for a day or two before potting them up.
Herbs to Start in Water:
- Basil
- Broadleaf Thyme/Cuban Oregano
- Mint
- Oregano
Herbs to Start in Soil/Coir:
- Broadleaf Thyme/Cuban Oregano
- Lemon Verbena
- Rosemary
- Sage
- Savory (Summer and Winter)
- Scented Geraniums
- Stevia
- Thyme

Get the part you need, when you need it
When unable to provide you a part over-the-counter, your dealer can get it from a regional or major distribution center. Emergency orders entered by 5 p.m. (Monday - Friday) at your local dealer are shipped the same day from our regional centers. Emergency orders are also shipped during Saturday with no added surcharge. Two levels of emergency backup, FLASH™ and FLASH+™ systems, result in a fill level that exceeds 99%.
FLASH™ and FLASH+ - Fast Parts Locating and Emergency Orders
FLASH SystemThe FLASH (Fast Locating and Special Handling) system provides dealers with a customized search method to use on the rare occasion when their regional depot can not supply a particular part. Dealers can locate a part at another regional depot or distribution center and can tell you immediately where the part is and how soon it will be received.
FLASH+FLASH+ orders (emergency orders entered after normal working hours and on Sundays) are processed 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and are shipped by the quickest method possible. In most cases, often-needed parts can be shipped from the Milan, Illinois or Bruchsal, Germany distribution centers to anywhere in the world, in 24 to 48 hours.
Dealers have access to a parts locator system that helps locate hard-to-find items, such as parts for older equipment or non-current attachments. They also can call upon the Dealer Parts Assistance Center (DPAC) for answers to technical questions.
Backed by this extensive parts distribution network, John Deere dealers are committed to get you the part you need when you need it.

Commencement Address, Western Connecticut State University Ronald Bruder May 13, 2012
Learning How to Persevere
Commencement Speaker
Ronald Bruder
Entrepreneur and philanthropist, founder of Education For Employment (EFE) Network
I am here today because of the recommendation of my friend and WestConn Board Member Farooq Kathwari.
Farooq, as most of you know, runs a company that he transformed called Ethan Allen.
We have for many years been neighbors in New Rochelle, but we did not start out as friends. A disagreement over installing lights on my tennis court resulted in my getting the lights, but the two of us were far from friends. Fast forward some time, when unbeknownst to both of us we were to be housed together in Rome as guests at the Vatican. A Muslim from Kashmir and a Jew from Brooklyn.
In that alien environment we began the beginning of what is today a close friendship.
If you told me when I graduated college that I would one day address a commencement audience, I would have thought that you were smoking something.
I didn't think that I had anything much of value to say to college grads. My road to college wasn't straight and simple – to say nothing of what happened after. But maybe that's the point. It was the obstacles I hit getting to college and building a career that taught me the most important lesson of all, and the one I want to impart to you: to persevere.
I grew up in a tough Jewish-Italian neighborhood in Brooklyn. As a 17 year old college sophomore I was expelled from school, and spent a year going door-to-door selling encyclopedias. I got a lot of doors slammed in my face. For the first time in my life, I was failing every day – multiple times. But I always had to get back out there. It was a matter of eating and survival.
I attribute a lot of what I've been able to achieve in life to what I discovered, or was forced to discover, in myself after I heard the thud of each closing door. What I learned was how to face rejection and failure and instead of to feel fear, feel determination to try harder. What I learned was how to acknowledge that something was going to be difficult, and to do it anyway. What I learned was perseverance.
I eventually made it through college and two graduate degrees, and went on to create successful real estate, pharmaceutical, travel and oil and gas businesses. Perseverance was the key ingredient in each of these ventures. All the marketing majors in the audience know that it isn't the successful pitch that helps you to hone your craft, it's what you learn from the hundred failed pitches preceding it that really counts.
As a young person in my twenties, I was taking major entrepreneurial risks. There were many sleepless nights when things were not going the way I hoped. But each time I failed, and I failed often, I learned. Each failure became an entry in my person guidebook on what to do and what not to do to succeed.
Each failure was an opportunity to examine, evaluate and improve what I was doing. Perseverance without self-reflection is just stubbornness. Perseverance with self-reflection is improvement.
Knowing how to live with adversity, and that I could handle it when it came, is what enabled me to start my latest and most meaningful venture. For last seven years my focus has been on building organizations in the Middle East and North Africa to train youth for jobs: Education for Employment, or EFE.
Like you, most of our students are in their early twenties. They are ambitious, able and hungry for success. These young people are exactly like you. Except in one very important way: they don't have the employment opportunities you do. We might be in a slump in the US, but unemployment here for college grads is 4%. Compare that to 15% for college grads in countries like Egypt and Jordan, and over 26% for those without college degrees.
The situation for youth in the Middle East and North Africa is more dire than just tough numbers. The majority of youth in the region do not benefit from the career-relevant education that you have received here at WestConn. Whether your major was Medical Technology or Elementary Education, you have spent the past four years developing the professional skills that translate directly to the marketplace. WestConn's Career Development Center teaches you the soft skills, such as how to write a resume, how to interview, that are key to landing a job.
At EFE, we have built a series of semi-autonomous affiliates that train and link our graduates to the labor force with a target 85% job placement rate. We work with disadvantaged young people stuck in the skills gap between what their education institutions teach, and the skills they need to be employed.
Their education institutions have failed them, and it's up to nonprofits like EFE to help them in developing the technical and professional skills they need to bridge the gap between school and work.
We are presently operating in eight countries. We develop local not-for-profit organizations that under the leadership of powerful local boards assess what skills are in demand in the local marketplace, and with our assistance, create training programs to meet that need.
What does it look like on the ground? We train unemployed engineers in the West Bank to manage construction sites. In Jordan we teach young women and men who could not pass their high school exit exam to install and repair air conditioners, or to do land surveying. We have built 40 such courses to date.
We are finding new opportunities for excluded youth. Since our first graduating class in June 2006 to the end of 2009 we graduated and placed in jobs 1,000 youth. In 2010 we trained and placed 1,200 young people, last year over 2,000 youth, and this year we expect to train and place in jobs over 5,000 young people.
It is our hope that as our numbers increase, we will create a tipping point in these countries so that it will be expected that education institutions have a high percentage of their graduates entering the workforce. To reach this scale, we have begun to work with King Hassan II University in Morocco, which graduates 7,000 students per year. It is our expectation that by providing them with curricula and methodologies, we can radically increase the percentage of students they place in labor force. This example we hope will spur other institutions to follow suit.
Despite the huge odds stacked against the young people we serve, they persevere. Most of our students have spent long months or years looking for employment without success. But they don't stop. In Egypt, Jordan, Morocco, Palestine, Tunisia or Yemen, they come to EFE ready to work harder and learn more. They are willing to do what it takes to achieve employment.
I recently learned that Doaa, one of our young female alumni in Egypt, traveled four hours each day to attend our training program in Cairo. That is perseverance, and it paid off. She now has a full-time job at one of Egypt's largest industrial companies, and has launched a startup company making fashion headscarves.
As an employer, these are the types of young people I look to hire. I have a bias towards those who have faced adversity in the past. People who have encountered failure, learned from it and persevered are like a tree with deep and solid roots. It won't be blown over by the next high wind.
Take a moment and look at the student to your right and look at the one to your left. Every person you graduate with today is going to encounter failure. That's a good thing.
The deciding factor for who amongst you will succeed will be how you pick yourself up, dust off and plow onward. Adversity is not an impediment to moving forward. It is what happens after that makes a difference and defines who you are and what you can become.

Southwest Louisiana, weĺve had first-hand experience with this reality and have
learned the importance of being prepared. Every year when hurricane season begins, a
great deal of public attention is directed toward disaster preparedness

to survive financially in the event the unexpected occurs?

after a disaster,ö says Nick Fuselier, Security and Compliance Officer with
Lakeside Bank. "From simple things like

deductibles can result in significant premium savings. You may also be able to
lower some premiums by taking steps ahead of time to protect your property from

widespread, however, your local insurance agent might be caught up in the same
situation you are. So keep alternative contact numbers for representatives

for all your financial, investment and insurance providers in your evacuation

The Odd Account of the Overnight Onion
Those of us fortunate to be learning Daf Yomi are approaching the final countdown to the worldwide grand Siyum HaShas, celebrating seven-and-a-half years of daily determination, persistence and unyielding commitment to Torah that is required to finish all of the Talmud. There are celebrations planned for well over 100,000 people in many places throughout the globe, including the former Yeshivas Chachmei Lublin in Poland (birthplace of the Daf Yomi), Binyanei HaUma in Jerusalem (of course), and the single largest venue - the MetLife Stadium (better known as Giants' Stadium) in New Jersey (Yes, contrary to reason and popular belief, the New York football teams actually play in New Jersey).
Recently, Daf Yomi learners worldwide came upon a fascinating Gemara in Maseches Nidda, the last Tractate in the Talmud. The Gemara cites an extremely strong, yet puzzling, statement by Rabbi Shimon Bar Yochai[1]. He states that one who eats a peeled onion, egg or garlic that has been left sitting out overnight is literally endangering his life, and will be ultimately judged as a person who took his own life[2]! The cause of this prohibition is a 'Ruach Ra'ah', a type of 'spirit of impurity' or spiritual contamination that rests upon these three foods when peeled and left overnight.
The reason why this statement is considered intriguing is that although there does not seem to be a dissenting opinion, and in view of the severity of both the offense and the punishment stated, nevertheless, this prohibition is not codified by the classic halachic authorities. Astoundingly, there is absolutely no mention of this proscription in any of the works of the greatest Jewish doctor, the Rambam, nor the Rif, Tur, nor Shulchan Aruch!
Yet, many later authorities, including the Pri Chadash, Shulchan Aruch HaRav, Chida, Ben Ish Chai, and Aruch Hashulchan[3], all do cite the Gemara's statement, and consequently rule that eating a peeled egg, onion or garlic that sat overnight is strictly forbidden. So how is it that it is not mentioned at all by the great halachic codifiers?
This question has baffled many for years and there is no clear-cut one-size-fits-all solution. But there are several different perspectives that the halachic decisors take in this matter.
No More Ruach Ra'ah
One method of understanding the codifiers' deafening silence on this issue is that they may have been of the opinion that 'Ruach Ra'ah' is no longer applicable. This is not a new argument, but rather one that many Rishonim cite, including the Maharam M'Rottenberg, the Mordechai and Tosafos[4]. The Rashal as well, famously declared that 'Ruach Ra'ah' is no longer prevalent among us. Several later authorities rule this way[5], that peeled overnight onions no longer give us any reason to worry about and may be eaten. They maintain that this is the reason there is nary a mention of it by the great codifiers, and not due to any lacunae in their knowledge.
Ruach Ra'ah Still Abounds
Yet, as mentioned previously, many later decisors maintain that this prohibition still applies in full force, as once an issue is mentioned in the Gemara as a halachic problem, it cannot be discounted just because many codifiers did not quote it. Also, several authorities aver that the Maharam did not discount Ruach Ra'ah completely. On the contrary, he entertained that leniency as a possible solution, just not necessarily as a definitive ruling. Additionally, it can be argued that Tosafos and the Rashal were referring exclusively to a specific type of Ruach Ra'ah that no longer is applicable; the Ruach Ra'ah associated with overnight peeled eggs and onions may therefore still be pertinent. These poskim therefore maintain that it is strictly prohibited to eat a peeled onion, egg, or garlic that was left out overnight[6] [7].
The Middle Road
A third approach to this issue is to synthesize both of the other approaches, taking all of the above into account. These authorities, including the Chofetz Chaim, Rav Moshe Feinstein, and the Steipler Gaon, maintain that if one wishes to be lenient, one definitely has what to rely upon. Yet, they recommend following the strict approach: not to partake of peeled overnight eggs, onions, and garlic[8].
Eggsclusions…err… Exclusions
However, even if one wishes to follow the recommended route of no overnight peeled onions, there are several important exclusions to the rule:
- The Gemara itself cites an exception: if some (even a tiny amount) of the original outer layer, peel, shell, or root hairs remain, then one need not worry about Ruach Ra'ah, as it is not considered to be peeled.
- Many poskim rule that if the overnight onion was mixed together with another food item, such as part of a salad, then it would be permitted, as it lost its status of purely being an onion or an egg. Several contemporary authorities, including the Ben Ish Chai, Chazon Ish, Rav Shlomo Zalman Auerbach, and the Minchas Yitzchak, maintain that this holds true even if only a small amount of salt, sugar, flour, or oil was added to the onion or egg, that it no longer is considered a mere peeled egg or onion, but rather as part of a mixture, which Ruach Ra'ah cannot affect.[9]
- A quite questionable leniency is that if one wraps the peeled egg or garlic up well and then puts it in the fridge, it is consequentially considered protected from Ruach Ra'ah[10]. The reason why many question this and do not agree to this supposition is that the Gemara explicitly states that even if the peeled onion is covered and wrapped up, it is still susceptible to Ruach Ra'ah. Therefore, most authorities do not abide by this leniency at all. Yet, others differentiate between how it was closed; for if it was hermetically sealed (which wasn't around at the time of the Gemara), some opine that it is as if it is still in its shell, and rule that it is permitted[11].
- Another opinion cited by many authorities is that Ruach Ra'ah does not affect dried onion powder, garlic powder or powdered eggs, as not only are they not considered the original food item, but they are not even considered a food at all, rather a powder[12].
Commercial Uses and Bakeries
A common question debated among contemporary authorities is what should a bakery do? Are they required to throw out trays of unused leftover eggs, and not use them the next day?
Several authorities, including the Yad Meir and Shevet HaLevi, rule that nowadays the Ruach Ra'ah is non-applicable and therefore bakeries need not worry about this problem at all[13]. Others, including the Minchas Yitzchak, Tzitz Eliezer, and Rav Ovadia Yosef[14], maintain that although personally one should be stringent, nevertheless, in a commercial setting since there are many mitigating factors and rationales present (as sugar and/or salt often get added to the mix; in addition, the prohibited amount might have actually been nullified, etc.), it is permitted.
Rav Moshe Feinstein rules leniently as well, but from a different perspective. He posits that there is no Ruach Ra'ah when a company cracks eggs or peels garlic that will not be used for many weeks or months. He explains that Ruach Ra'ah only applies when someone is preparing food for the next day, as that would have been the standard scenario the Gemara was referring to, not for weeks later[15]. Therefore, bakeries would be included in this exception.
Yet, there are several contemporary authorities, chief among them the Klausenberger Rebbe[16], who did not allow any dispensation for industrially produced items, and exhorted extreme caution with all facets of this halacha, ruling that peeled overnight eggs, onions or garlic are strictly prohibited. He even once publicly asserted that negligence and lackadaisicalness with eating overnight peeled eggs and onions might be the cause for cancer R"l! This is why although many poskim allow leniency when it comes to bakeries (due to the above-mentioned rationales), nevertheless, bakeries run by Sanz and/or Klausenberg chassidim are very stringent with this.
Whether or not Ruach Ra'ah still exists today, it would seem that with a little bit of effort we can minimize the possibility of it affecting our food. So, when next preparing an egg salad or garlic spread, it seems quite worthwhile to follow the guidelines that ensure "spiritual contamination" remains far from our food!

However, there are other later authorities whose exclusion of this issue remains quite conspicuous, including the Pischei Teshuva, Chochmas Adam, and Kitzur Shulchan Aruch.
[4]Maharam M'Rottenberg, cited by the Mordechai (Maseches Shabbos, Ch.7 - Klal Gadol, Chidushei Anshe Sheim 3; Haghos Mordechai Ch. 8 - Hamotzi s.v. u'mibeitzah), Tosafos (Yoma 77b s.v. mishoom; Chullin 107b s.v. hasam), Rashal (Yam Shel Shlomo, Chullin Ch. 8, 12). However, it shoulb be noted that the prohibition is mentioned by several other Rishonim including Tosafos (! - Shabbos 141a s.v. hani & Beitza 14a s.v. ika), Rosh (Beitza 14a, 21), the SMA"K (Mitzva 171), and Trumas HaDeshen (cited in Leket Yosher (Y"D pg. 6).
[5]Including the Aderes (Kuntress Over Orach, 4), Shu"t Pri HaSadeh (vol. 3, 61 & 62), Shu"t Yad Meir (19; cited in Darchei Teshuva 116, 74), Shu"t Kav Zahav (14), and Mishmeres Shalom (Y"D 116, 4). The Har Tzvi (Shu"t vol. 2, Y"D 74 s.v. ode) seems to accept this as well.
[6]Including those mentioned in footnote 3, as well as Shu"t Beis Shlomo (vol. 1, Y"D 189), the Maharsham (Shu"t vol. 4, 148 and Daas Torah O.C. 513, 6), Shlah (Shaar HaOsiyios pg. 129), Reishis Chochma (Ch. Derech Eretz, Shaar 3, s.v. v'garsinan), Yeish Nochlin (15), Shevet Mussar (end Ch. 40), and Shu"t Shem Aryeh (the Arugas HaBosem, Y"D, end 56). The Mahasham proves from the fact that the Maharam prefaced his leniency with 'dilma' shows that he did not truly mean to rule leniently. However, the Sdei Chemed (Ma'areches HaLamed 141, 31 s.v. ha'oleh & Klalei Haposkim beg. 16; cited in Shu"t Yabea Omer vol. 2, Y"D 7) maintains that the Maharam used 'dilma' as a 'lashon anavah', but definitely did intend to rule leniently. The argument that Tosafos and Rashal were only lenient with a specific type of Ruach Ra'ah is made by the Divrei Yatziv (Shu"t Y"D vol. 1, 31, 4), Chelkas Yaakov (Shu"t vol. 3, Y"D 39, 3), and Ba'er Moshe (Shu"t vol. 3, 115, 2, inthe bracket).
[7]Interestingly, overnight peeled eggs might actually be permitted according to several authorities, as Rashi (ad loc. s.v. she'avar) when explaining the prohibition omits eggs from the criteria. Additionally, there is some debate among several later poskim about what type of peeled eggs are intended for inclusion in the prohibition - cooked eggs or raw eggs. See at length Shmiras HaGuf V'Hanefesh (vol. 1, 3, 2 & 4, and relevant footnotes for explanation). Nevertheless, the common custom is that both raw and hardboiled peeled eggs are considered to be affected by Ruach Ra'ah [Shu"t Shulchan HaLevi (vol. 1, Ch. 23, 3). Yet, as the Tzitz Eliezer (Shu"t vol. 18, 46) notes, there will always be a safek sfeika to permit it b'dieved, as whichever type of egg one peels that was left overnight, raw or cooked, it is always possible that Ruach Ra'ah is actually exclusive to the other type. That, coupled with the Maharam's shitta, plus the opinions who say eggs are excluded, should allow room for leniency.]
[8]Including the Chofetz Chaim (Likutei Halachos Nidda 17a, Ein Mishpat 7), Rav Moshe Feinstein (Shu"t Igros Moshe Y"D vol. 3, 20), the Steipler Gaon (cited in Shmiras HaGuf V'Hanefesh vol. 1, 3, end footnote 1), the Debreciner Rav (Shu"t Ba'er Moshe vol. 3, 115, 2), Rav Shlomo Zalman Auerbach (Halichos Shlomo on Tefilla Ch. 2, Footnote 103), the Minchas Yitzchak (Shu"t vol. 2, 68, 13), Rav Y.Y. Fischer (Shu"t Even Yisrael vol. 9, 126, 3), the Tzitz Eliezer (Shu"t vol. 18, 46), the Az Nidberu (Shu"t vol. 11, 47), Rav Moshe Sternbuch (Shu"t Teshuvos V'Hanhagos vol. 22, 256 s.v. uviha"k), Rav Ovadia Yosef (Shu"t Yabea Omer vol. 2, Y"D 7), the Shevet HaKehasi (Shu"t vol. 2, 247), and Rav Yisrael Belsky (Shu"t Shulchan HaLevi vol. 1, Ch. 23, 3).
[9]Including the SMA"K (ibid.), Zivchei Tzedek (ibid.), Ben Ish Chai (ibid.), Chazon Ish (cited in Shmiras HaGuf V'Hanefesh ibid. pg. 25, footnote), Tosafos Chaim (cited in Sefer Mataamim, Erech Yayin Seuda, 18), Kaf Hachaim (ibid.), Halichos Shlomo (ibid.), Tzitz Eliezer (ibid.), Shu"t Yaskil Avdi (ibid.), Yabea Omer (ibid., 4), Shu"t Divrei Shalom (vol. 6, pg. 293, Piskei Teshuvos 199), and Taamei Haminhagim (Likutim 16). Rav Yisrael Belsky (Shu"t Shulchan HaLevi ibid.) is lenient if the chemical balance (pH) is changed, even slightly by adding the salt or sugar. The Minchas Yitzchak (Shu"t vol. 6, 75) only allows salt and sugar if it is at least 2% of the mixture. [See Shmiras Haguf V'Hanefesh (vol. 2, Miluim, top of pg. 802 for an explanation from Rav Yaakov Blau of the Eida Charedis]. Rav Moshe Sternbuch (Shu"t Teshuvos V'Hanhagos ibid.) is lenient l'chatchila only if the color is changed by the mixture. The Klausenberger Rebbe (Shu"t Divrei Yatziv ibid., 14, s.v. u'lmaaseh & Y"D vol. 1, 32, 3) maintains that one may only rely on this if the taste is actually changed by adding the salt or sugar; he further rules that one may not use eggs, garlic or onions as the other ingredient in the mixture.
[10]Shu"t Rivevos Efraim (vol. 3, 495 & vol. 5, 523) and Shu"t Vayaan Dovid (Y"D 119). The Tzitz Eliezer (ibid.) rules that one may rely on this in cases of great loss, as there are many sniffim lehakel. The Chazon Ish (cited in Orchos Rabbeinu vol. 1 pg. 210, 16) ruled similarly regarding a raw egg that was left out, that covering it was sufficient. [It is unclear, however, if he held that the same would apply to onions and garlic as well, as it is possible he was referring to the egg exclusion; additionally, perhaps he held that Ruach Ra'ah only affects cooked eggs.]Conversely, in Shu"t Rivevos Efraim (vol. 4, 51 s.v. bsiman) a dissenting opinion is presented, that the Gemara (as well as the later authorities who rule this way, ex. Shulchan Aruch HaRav ibid, et al) explicitly rules that this leniency is not valid. The same point is strongly made in Shmiras HaGuf V'Hanefesh (vol. 1, pg. 23, footnote 5, s.v. v'davar).
[11]Shu"t Shulchan HaLevi (ibid.).
[12]Including Shu"t Degel Efraim (28), Darchei Teshuva (ibid.; who cites the Degel Efraim with no dissenting opinion), Shu"t Har Tzvi (ibid; albeit due to relying on the Maharam - see Shmiras HaGuf V'Hanefesh vol. 1 pg. 28, end footnote 12), Shu"t Chelkas Yaakov (ibid.), Shu"t Ba'er Moshe (ibid.), Shu"t Shevet HaLevi (ibid.), Shu"t Yabea Omer (ibid.), and Shu"t Shulchan HaLevi (ibid.). Commercially sold onion and garlic powder would also be included in Rav Moshe's hetter - see footnote 14.
[13]Shu"t Yad Meir (19; cited in Darchei Teshuva 116, 74), Shu"t Shevet HaLevi (vol. 3, 169 & vol. 6, 11, 5, 7 & 9), Shu"t Yaskil Avdi (vol. 7, O.C. 44, 4 & vol. 8 Y"D 14). The Har Tzvi (Shu"t vol. 2, Y"D 74 s.v. ode) seems to accept this as well.
[14]Shu"t Minchas Yitzchak (ibid; however see Shu"t Teshuvos V'Hanhagos ibid. and Shmiras Haguf V'Hanefesh vol. 2, Miluim, top of pg. 802 for an explanation from Rav Yaakov Blau of the Eida Charedis), Shu"t Tzitz Eliezer (ibid), Shu"t Yabea Omer (ibid.), Shu"t Az Nidberu (ibid.).
[15]Shu"t Igros Moshe (Y"D vol. 3, 20). Although the Mishneh Halachos (Shu"t vol. 12, 21 s.v. u'mah) argues on this, maintaining that there should be no difference whether the onions and eggs are peeled many weeks in advance or the previous night, nevertheless, it is worthwhile to read Rav Yisrael Belsky's strongly worded defense of Rav Moshe's shitta. He writes (Shu"t Shulchan HaLevi ibid. s.v. u'lmaaseh) that since the issue at hand is one of spiritual danger, once the universally recognized Gadol HaDor rules that it does not apply, it is certain that no spiritual contamination will affect someone who relies on his ruling - see Gemara Pesachim 112b.
[16]Shu"t Divrei Yatziv (Y"D vol. 1, 31; the quote about causes of cancer is found in a footnote in the responsum) at length. Other contemporary poskim who rule stringently include the Chelkas Yaakov (Shu"t vol. 3 - Y"D 39) and Mishneh Halachos (Shu"t vol. 12, 20 & 21), following the ruling of the Maharsham and Beis Shlomo (ibid.) et al (see footnote 6).
Disclaimer: This is not a comprehensive guide, rather a brief summary to raise awareness of the issues. In any real case one should ask a competent Halachic authority.

The news virus
By Andrei Codrescu
Anyone watching and everybody is the 24-hour news channels must be convinced that the world is at an end. For some people it is, but you wont see them either on CNN, Fox, or MSNBC. There was useful information on CNN during and after Katrina, but when Rita failed to live up to the destructiveness of her predecessor, you could sense the palpable fury of the network. CNNs star reporter, Cooper Anderson, missed Katrina in New Orleans, so he made sure to be up front and visible during Rita, but the storm failed to live up to Coopers grandeur. In an effort to pump up the hysteria, CNN tied up a guy in a wind tunnel where they blasted him with 100 miles per hour-plus winds and then asked him question like, What does it feel like in a 100 miles per hour wind? The poor idiot might as well look for another day job: maybe being shot out of a cannon at Barnum & Baileys. Meanwhile, the real post-storm stories of the future of New Orleans and the people returning there completely escaped producers intent only on Cecile B. DeMille effects for their ratings.
If CNN managed to overdo it, Fox outdid itself in hysterical, sensationalist and downright unreal coverage. As late as Sunday, Sept. 25th, Fox reporters looking for bad news, reported end-of-the-world scenes that were flatly contradicted by their interviews. One anchor practically screamed at an Army Corps general, demanding to know how many people were still dying and waiting to be rescued in the Rita re-flooded Ninth Ward of New Orleans, and when he said that no one was, as far as he knew, she cut him off and went on to talk about new reports of the dying. The only bad thing about these imaginary dying was that they didnt do it on camera.
Aware that storms are passing phenomena, CNN scheduled future disasters that are yet to take place, with such heavily advertised blockbusters as The Next Disaster: is America Ready for It? All the cable news channels, as well as the networks, produced scenarios for future disasters that included earthquakes, nuclear bombs, and tanker explosions in Boston harbor. The competition for producing paranoia among the news outlets reached a kind of surrealist crescendo in which it was hard to tell what was happening from what already happened and what might happen (if the producers had their way). At times, it looked like a combination of sports broadcasting with instant playbacks and simultaneous selections from the sci-fi channels.
Weirdly enough, even people in or near the disaster areas got most of their news from these news outlets and often believed them against the evidence of their own eyes or the reports of people on the scene. We need news, but what these media produced were paranoia viruses that have now infected the whole country and will make positive, slow, step-by-step rebuilding even harder. The coming stories are not glamorous, but they will be heroic and spirited in ways that our history has known in the past. Who will be our real reporters then?

Federal Energy Corridor - West-Wide Energy Corridor Programmatic Environmental Impact Statement (PEIS)
Draft Programmatic EIS Now Available
The West-Wide Energy Corridor Draft Programmatic EIS was released on November 8, 2007, and is now available for downloading or browsing online. Draft PEIS maps of proposed Section 368 energy corridors are also available.
For more information, see the West-wide Energy Corridor Programmatic EIS Information Center at: http://corridoreis.anl.gov/
The National Energy Policy Act of 2005 requires the United States Department of Energy (DOE), Bureau of Land Management (BLM), and U.S. Forest Service (USFS), in cooperation with the Departments of Commerce and Defense, to designate new right-of-way corridors on federal lands for electricity transmission and distribution facilities, and oil, gas, and hydrogen pipelines. The DOE, BLM, and USFS will prepare a West-wide Energy Corridor Programmatic Environmental Impact Statement (PEIS) to evaluate issues associated with designation of energy corridors on federal lands in eleven Western states (see map). Public scoping meetings for the West-wide Energy Corridor PEIS were held in California on November 1, 2005, and the public scoping comment period ended November 28, 2005. Based upon the information and analyses developed in the PEIS, each federal Agency would amend its respective land use plans by designating appropriate energy corridors. More information about the West-wide Energy Corridor PEIS is available on the website: http://corridoreis.anl.gov/index.cfm.
On November 10, 2005, because of the substantial energy-related information developed through the Energy Commission's 2005 Integrated Energy Policy Report proceedings, including the Strategic Transmission Investment Plan, the State of California Resources Agency requested that the Energy Commission represent California in the federal PEIS effort. In this role, the Energy Commission will ensure that the state's energy and infrastructure needs, renewable generation policy goals, and environmental concerns are considered in the PEIS.
The Energy Commission then notified cities, counties, investor-owned and municipal utilities, and several state agencies of the need to submit scoping comments on the PEIS. On December 12, 2005, the BLM and DOE designated the Energy Commission as a Cooperating Agency.
Since that time, the Energy Commission has been working with an interagency team of federal and state agencies to review proposals to designate new and/or expand existing energy corridors and to examine alternatives to these corridors on federal lands in California.
Energy Policy Act of 2005 (Public Law 109-58)
Section 368
- Mandated by Congress
- No later than August 8, 2007, complete Programmatic Environmental Impact Statement (PEIS) for 11 Western States

Argentina convicts former military officials for Dirty War' crimes

A Buenos Aires court's conviction of 16 former military officials for crimes against humanity committed decades ago is a powerful victory for justice in the fight against impunity, Amnesty International said today.
Former Navy captain Alfredo Astiz and 15 others were yesterday given prison sentences for their role in crimes against humanity committed during military rule between 1976 and 1983. These included the arbitrary detention, torture and unlawful killing of dozens of people at a secret detention centre set up in a military school in Buenos Aires.
Among those killed were French nuns Léonie Duquet and Alice Domon, human rights activists Azucena Villaflor, María Bianco and Esther Careaga, co-founders of the Mothers of the Plaza de Mayo, and writer and journalist Rodolfo Walsh.
"This verdict is the latest to bring former military officials to account for egregious human rights violations committed during Argentina's Dirty War' in the 70s and 80s," said Guadalupe Marengo, Deputy Americas Programme Director at Amnesty International.
"Justice is being delivered at last to these families, sending a strong message that this kind of abuse will never again be tolerated."
Out of those convicted, 12 were sentenced to life in prison without parole. Four received jail sentences ranging from 18 to 25 years. In addition to Astiz, those sentenced to life imprisonment included former Navy captains Jorge Eduardo "Tigre" Acosta and Ricardo Cavallo, who was extradited from Mexico in 2008.
The trial, which covered 86 separate crimes against humanity, lasted two years. It included testimony from more than 150 witnesses, including some 80 survivors of abuses at the hands of military officials.
The Argentine security forces operated a clandestine detention centre at a Buenos Aires naval school (Escuela Superior de Mecánica de la Armada, ESMA) where hundreds of people were held after being abducted. Those in captivity were either killed under torture or flung to their death from aeroplanes.
During military rule in Argentina from 1976-1983, the security forces abducted around 30,000 people, many of whom are still unaccounted for. Widespread and systematic human rights violations occurred, including torture and extrajudicial executions on a grand scale.
"Although more than a quarter-century has passed since the Dirty War' abuses wracked Argentine society, the victims' demands must be honoured by bringing all those responsible to justice," said Guadalupe Marengo.

Ballmer said in his speech to Microsoft's MVPs:
This is quite a frank admission by Microsoft's CEO, which echoes the sentiments I and others brought forth last year: Vista is big and complex, and Microsoft needs to make sure it doesn't turn into something even bigger and more complex. However, Ballmer also notes that a lot of big and important steps were taken with Vista, and that the input of the MVPs is valuable in helping Microsoft to continue down this road.
In addition, Ballmer acknowledges that a lot of people are sticking to XP, and that as long as that is the case, Microsoft will remain "sensitive" and will hear what these people have to say. He did not make any promises with regards to extending XP's life cycle, though. "And I know we're going to continue to get feedback from people on how long XP should be available. We've got some opinions on that, we've expressed our views."

text: I don't know if easier is the right word, but it gets... different. And different results in better and in so many ways it gets even more rewarding. When they start to become little people and react to you. When they play, crawl, pull up to stand, react with delight (lit up face, arm flapping) when you enter a room where someone else is holding them (or for me when i come home from work). When I am not at work we nurse on demand. 11 months 1 week now. I swear last night DD was attached to my boob in the bed the entire night. But if you can avoid letting it fill you up with tension, you adjust. And appreciate the tenderness, the bonding. Sometime I look at her face when she's nursing and asleep and I'm completely overcome with joy. I have learned to sleep somehow. Not always, but most nights I don't even notice our wake ups. And somehow I get through work every day. I don't even drink coffee/caffeine! Hang in there.
